The Defeated Dragon

Inuit's words reminded Liszt that horizontal sails and longitudinal sails are all types of sails. A large ship can have two or three masts. Why can't the horizontal sails and the longitudinal sails be hung at the same time?

When sailing downwind, the sail is raised and howling; when the headwind is raised, the longitudinal sail is raised and the snake moves.

In this way, it can basically be said that sailing boats can move freely at sea at any time, which will greatly shorten the sailing time. Moreover, Liszt seems to have some impressions. In the era of the great voyage of the earth, there were many sailing ships, that is, a triangular longitudinal sail was hung on the bow and stern, and a horizontal sail was hung on the middle.

It was after listening to Inuit's advice that Liszt immediately ordered the shipbuilders at the dock to work **** hybrid sailing.

However, Liszt didn't care much about Inuit's suggestion to fix the sail with wood, because at the time it was rejected by several old boatmen and considered unrealistic.

"Now it seems that I have to talk to this creative magician. I can get the affirmation of the smoke task and the power that affects my destiny. This person should be a gifted person."

The fate power represented by the smoke mission is very mysterious and mysterious, so far Liszt has not figured out the root cause.

But it is undeniable that the characters who can be selected by the smoke task will always have some unusual characteristics. In plain words, these people are roughly equivalent to "son of destiny", surrounded by "protagonist aura" ... Of course, their aura is stronger than Liszt's "plug-in".

Emily's fighting talents are different. Lucy and Ruth have excellent magic talents. Paris is involved in the light and magic swordsman ... A Ke is a rare Siren in the world, and she becomes a wizard with the Siren.

Inuit's talent is unclear.

Liszt needs serious attention.

Soon, Inuit Truth was taken from the Cavaliers. He was not a well-formed magician. The magic cloak seemed to have been improved by himself and changed into a tights: "His Highness, are you looking for me?"

"Inuit, do you like sailing?" Liszt motioned for the other to sit down, and asked casually.

"Yes, Your Highness, I grew up by the sea and I have long been eager for the blue sea."

Information about Inuit has been presented to Liszt. It is directly transferred from the magic guild. When each magician joins the club, he will provide detailed identity information. Finally, an identity card similar to an ID card will be issued. Heima Island Leader hand.

Inuit is a sapphire man, but a wizard on the outer island. He followed his teacher to Heima Island.

His teacher is just an ordinary magician, and is currently studying natural magic with Lars Truth, the great magician, that is, druid farming and transformation. He himself did not like to study the magical content that is too deep in theory, but was full of passion for sailing.

Liszt knocked on the table and asked, "What other inspiration do you have for sailing improvements?"

Inuit answered with a little excitement: "His Highness, I have been studying sailing for a long time, and I have a lot of designs I want to use. I used to pass with the shipbuilders of the dock, but they were too rigid and kept rigid shipbuilding skills. Do n’t let go and do n’t understand my design at all! ”

"Then you tell me now."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As soon as the box was opened, Inuit couldn't stop and took out his design for the sailing boat. These designs range from sails, masts, slings to hull structures. Much of the content is whimsical, and even Liszt finds it a bit difficult to understand.

There are also some designs that, in the eyes of Liszt, are simply nonsense.

For example, Inuit felt that the sailing work was very busy and heavy. He simply designed the mast to be foldable, so that when the storm came, the mast could be directly lowered to the sides, and it could also be used as a support bar for the hull to keep the ship. Stability on the sea, never sink.

This idea is strictly interesting, but the mast itself is the most important part of the sailboat. It needs to choose the same high-quality iron and wood as the keel to make the mast not easy to break.

If the foldable mast encounters a storm, it is probably the mast itself that breaks first. Moreover, the sail is very heavy. Once the mast is folded, it is definitely more tiring than raising the sail. What's more, how to ensure the stability of the hull when the mast is raised and folded is also a huge trouble.

In short, it's not reliable.

Most of Inuit's designs are similarly unreliable.

However, Liszt found an interesting content from his creative design. Inuit even proposed the idea of ​​using huge rotating wheels to move the ship forward.

This is basically the design of a "ship"!

On the earth, the era of sailing in the sea, was replaced by steamships, and gradually became a sailing competition.

"Have you ever thought about how much power a huge wheel takes to move a ship forward, but it can't be turned by human power alone?" Asked Lister Zhuo with interest.

Inuit seems to have an early draft: "His Royal Highness, although manpower cannot push such a large wheel to turn, but the power of magic can be used. You can use a magic array to push the wheel to turn."

"Drive with magic array?" This is a good solution, but Liszt is not satisfied. "Magic array is indeed widely used, and it is not impossible to push the wheels. But the manufacturing and consumption of magic array are both This is a huge expense and not suitable for use on a ship. "

The idea of ​​combining magic with technology, he had thought about it long ago. However, at the moment when the magic net is shrinking, it is difficult for the magic array to use the magic net to draw magic power, all of which need to consume the magic power of the magic array material itself. The cost of maintaining such a magic array is enormous.

There are no magical items like magic stones in this world.

Even the small magic table needs to frequently change the magic rune running materials, which costs a lot of communication, not to mention driving the huge wheels.

"This ..." Inuit was suddenly embarrassed. As a magician, he knew the value of magical materials very well. His ideas were indeed very creative and made him content with it. But according to his design, it may be possible to buy several barques with only one magic circle.

Coupled with the materials used to maintain the magic circle, I am afraid that such a ship will lose money once it runs a trade.

That's what a fool would design.

Looking at the embarrassing and blushing Inuit, Liszt did not show disappointment, instead he valued Inuit. Not only because of the smoke task, but also because of Inuit's ideas and want to develop technology, not afraid that ideas are difficult to achieve, but afraid that there is no idea,

"Inuit, the power of magic is difficult to apply to folks, but this does not mean that there is no power that can replace magic. There is a power I call it steam. You can delve into this direction more ... In addition, your Some ideas, I ca n’t judge its value, but I can let you participate in the design of the new sailing boat. Would you like? "

Inuit immediately responded: "Thank Your Highness for your approval, of course I am willing to participate in the design of the new sailing boat!"

He personally designed the sailing boat to sail the sea, which Inuit wanted, but he still wondered: "His Royal Highness, what does the power of steam mean?"

"When you go back and boil a pot of boiling water, you will understand the power of steam." Liszt pretends to be mysterious.

In fact, he didn't know much about the great killer of the industrial revolution, www.readwn.com. He just knew that it was using coal, petroleum and other raw materials to burn, and then pushed the piston to do work and drive the machinery.

"Do you want to boil water? I'll go back to boil it now!"

Inuit hurriedly retreated.

Looking at his back, Lister shook his head, and the steam engine in this world was about to be unable to set off an industrial revolution. The reason is simple. To date, no fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum have been heard. Without these fuels, burning wood alone would not provide much power.

The lack of metal will also severely restrict the manufacture of steam engines.

Of course, the steam engine is not without its development potential. The reason is also very simple. Liszt has a fire dragon!

When the little fire dragon grows up, the fire dragon super magic can be released at will, at that time, a steady stream of magic little fire dragon serves as fuel.

Grab a few more iron mines on the legendary continent.

It's really possible to get a steamship!
