Chapter 64 Specialty: Good at flying

The annual construction capacity of thirty [-]-stone ships is already very strong for a private shipyard, so Zuo Xi seemed very proud when he promised it.

But in Chen Xun's opinion, it was still too little.

The Song Dynasty had more than [-] medium-sized and above ships south of the Yangtze River alone. When Zhao ran away and fled to the sea, he was in such a mess, but he collected thousands of ships in a few months.

Counting the ships overseas, the Chen family now only has [-] ships, which is a huge gap.

It is simply impossible to rely on this shipyard to bridge the gap between the two.

If you want to close the gap between the two sides, you must either continue to expand this shipyard, build another shipyard, or steal it from the enemy.

Chen Xun has no intention of being limited to one method. In the future development process, he will take different measures according to different situations.He will not give up the research on iron ships. When Chenjiazhuang's steam engine-powered iron ships are born, it will be Wang Zha. By then, no matter how many wooden warships the Song Dynasty has, it will be useless.

After coming out of the small dock, Chen Xun went to several other docks to take a look. The shipwrights were busy relocating, and the ship construction was basically at a standstill, and nothing could be seen.

Later, when I went to the new dock site, there was no one there.

"Everyone has gone to help. The hungry people are also busy building houses and haven't come here yet." Zuo Xi explained.

"Understood, quickly arrange the relocation and resume production as soon as possible." Chen Xun said.

"Yes!"

After coming out of the shipyard, Chen Xun wandered all the way back and looked at some other workshops on the way. Because of the previous relocation order, he was basically in a state of panic and had no choice but to go home.

It was extremely busy outside, but Chen Xun felt at ease when he returned home.

Nothing happened at the moment, so he simply entered the Wonderful Zoo. Unexpectedly, Chen Xun, who had just entered, was greeted by a piece of good news from the zoo.

Door: Chordate

Class: Aves
Order: Columbiformes

Family: Pigeonidae

Genus: Pigeon
Species: Snow Pigeon
Contract Level: 5
The contract level of Snow Pigeon has been increased.

Chen Xun recruited Meng Gu, looked left and right, and saw no difference from level 4.

After calming down and feeling himself, Chen Xun understood what this contract level upgrade had given him.

A new specialty: good at flying.

"I'm going to grow wings. I won't turn into a birdman, right?" Chen Xun quickly stretched his arms behind his back and touched up and down, but he didn't feel any protrusions or feathers.

When he came to a pool of water, Chen Xun took off his clothes and took a look at himself through the calm water, but found nothing different.

This specialty should be another comprehensive specialty like "Horse Elegance", which may improve one's abilities in certain aspects as a whole.

Look at the name: "Good at Flying."It shouldn't really allow you to fly. Through my own exploration of this wonderful zoo over the years, I know that the realization of its specialties is still within a certain theoretical range.

For example, for "magnetic field perception", you should have implanted an organ in your body that can sense the magnetic field of a pigeon, and then adjusted your brain to gain this ability.

For example, "Horse Elegance" should be similar to the genetic medicine in science fiction novels, which increases the strength of one's genes or changes the secretion of certain enzymes and hormones in the body, causing one to become very strong.

Now this "good at flying", since it has not grown wings, it should not be really flying.Otherwise it would be too magical.

Until the afternoon, Chen Xun still didn't feel any special hunger in his body, nor did he have anything strange growing on his body.

This time the specialty is even more obscure than "Elegance of Horses".

Sitting in the room with nothing to do, Chen Xun couldn't bear the loneliness and came to the school field to start practicing martial arts.

Since his physical fitness has improved significantly, Chen Xun has extended the time for martial arts training a lot. He will spend at least an hour every day practicing various martial arts, including: swordsmanship, marksmanship, bow and arrow, crossbow and riding.

There are also subdivisions in swordsmanship: Miao Dao, Saber, Short Dao and Flying Dao.Marksmanship includes spears, lances, flying spears, and long sticks.Bows and crossbows focus on accuracy.

After practicing for a while, Chen Xun clearly felt that he was in very good condition today. He could easily do some moves that he couldn't do during previous practice.In the past, due to the sudden increase in power, I could not control it as precisely as I wanted. Today, I feel that my control has been significantly enhanced.

After practicing with long knives and short knives for a while, I took out a few palm-long flying knives and threw them at the target based on my feeling.

Whoosh!
Right in the bull's eye.

"So lucky?" Chen Xun muttered, and then continued to throw the second one.

Whoosh!
He hit the target again, just a few hairs away from the first flying knife.

"It doesn't seem like luck."

Chen Xun became serious and threw all the flying knives in his hand. All of them hit the target and were all around the target.

Looking at the target five steps away from him, Chen Xun stepped forward and pulled out the throwing knife, stepped back ten steps away, threw all the throwing knives in his hand, and hit the target again.I didn't hit the target this time, but it wasn't too far off.

Being able to hit all the targets at this distance is already very good for beginners. You must know that throwing knives have poor stability and can only be regarded as short-range projectile weapons. For ordinary practitioners, there is no accuracy at all beyond ten steps.

Chen Xun took the bow and crossbow again and fired several rounds in succession. Chen Xun found that the accuracy of his shooting had indeed improved greatly. His accuracy was completely different from yesterday.

This must be the change brought about by the specialty of "being good at flying".

Why can birds fly?Because they have wings.

When a bird flaps its wings downward, due to inertia, the air under the wings will not move immediately, so the air pressure under the wings will increase; similarly due to inertia, the air above the wings will not immediately follow the downward movement of the wings, so the wings The air pressure in the upper part will decrease.In this way, there is a pressure difference between the upper and lower wings.Generally speaking, the faster the wings flap downward, the higher the pressure difference between the upper and lower wings.Birds fly based on this pressure difference.

Birds rely on the same principle when gliding.

In addition to their wings, birds' very light bones also allow them to fly.

Later generations read a popular science post that the weight of human bones can account for 20.00% of human body weight, while the weight of bird bones accounts for less than [-]% of bird weight.

These two points are the main reasons why birds can fly.

But if it is because of these two points, the name of the specialty should be "flying" rather than "good at flying".

Therefore, the focus of this specialty should be on the word "good at".

Chen Xun guessed in his mind, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and felt the surrounding airflow with his exposed skin.

As his mind became more and more focused, Chen Xun really felt the difference. As the air flowed around him, his body hair trembled, and Chen Xun could clearly feel the direction of the surrounding wind, which was the trajectory of the air flow.
