Chapter 451 Navigation Map
Ronald fell in love with this new Jinchao Pofeng almost as soon as he got started!
As a captain who has been at the helm of an airship for many years, he is very familiar with the control feel of the airship.
In the past, the old airship that had been in disrepair for a long time was shaking when it took off, and it looked like it was about to fall apart.
When turning the steering wheel, the shaft connected to the power compartment below would make a creaking "dangerous" sound.
Whether it is steering or propulsion, there will be a clear sense of sluggishness.
This phenomenon is because many mechanical parts on the airship have been seriously aged.
Ronald didn't want to spend money on repairing the airship, so he had to make do with it.
The new Jinchao Pofeng has a completely different experience!
Because the power source has added a human-driven part, Ronald pushed the lever while holding the horn next to him and shouted loudly:
"Speed up! Speed up! Set sail at full speed!"
The mages who were already on standby below immediately injected their mental power into the corresponding [Hurricane Array]!
The surging power surged instantly!
The gust of wind formed by the arcane energy took less than a minute to condense and take shape. Driven by the wind, the airship moved forward quickly and steadily.
Ronald adjusted the steering wheel again:
"Left half rudder!!!"
Still shouting loudly.
The mages immediately adjusted the output of their respective arrays.
The [Hurricane Array] on the starboard side maintained a saturated driving effect, while the output on the port side was reduced.
The wind difference formed on both sides, and with the propeller adjusted in the upper direction, the Golden Tide Windbreaker drew an extremely elegant arc in the air.
As if it were an arm, so easy!
This was Ronald's biggest feeling at this time!
He had never driven such an easy airship!
In the past, driving an airship was actually a very strenuous thing, because - the goblins always forced the weight on it to the load limit of the airship.
This means that its driving force is almost at its limit.
The "delay" in operation is quite serious. Whether it is acceleration, deceleration or turning, it takes a lot of effort to complete. If it is not an experienced captain, it is likely that a serious deviation will occur with a slight mistake.
The current Jinchao Fengpo is different.
Which direction do you want to go?
Once the steering wheel is turned, just hold the horn and shout loudly to the mages on the deck!
The limit of goblin engineering is limited by the [Elemental Core]. This is an objective factor that cannot be changed.
The limit of the human power source-casters depends on their mental power.
Although the mental power of a mage is limited and cannot drive the [Hurricane Array] for too long.
But the lack of quality can be compensated by quantity!
Two groups of mages rotate, and when the mental power is almost exhausted, they go to the side to meditate and rest, and another group of people take over.
It is enough to ensure that there is sufficient array power at any time!
If you have to say a disadvantage.
It is probably that the noise pollution is a little serious.
After all, Ronald has to hold a horn and shout loudly every time he drives.
But compared with the almost qualitative change of the driving experience of the airship itself, this little problem is not important at all.
Ronald had to admit.
He couldn't leave this airship!
The old airships in the past were nothing compared to this brand new Golden Tide Windbreaker!
It was indeed as Pete said.
There were qualitative changes in load, safety, control, speed and other aspects.
After all, this was equivalent to using the mages as cattle and horses, and making them a human power source.
The performance of the old airship was almost completely defeated.
…
In Pete's original plan, there were actually very few people going to the Stone Castle, only him and Lena, Gale, Miranda and Brandon, the closest friends.
They will start the investigation based on the clues, which will be a secretive activity.
You know, the ticket for the goblin airship itself costs a lot of money, and the number of tickets sold is also limited.
Take the Golden Tide Windbreaker as an example. In the past, it could only carry about 50 passengers and travel between Ceylon City and Green Port.
And it only runs two round trips every month!
Even if more people want to go to Stone Fort, the actual situation does not allow it, because there are not so many places.
Now it is different.
The reconstruction of the Golden Tide Wind Breaker has greatly increased its carrying capacity. During this period, it has become a special train for believers of Seeking Knowledge!
What's more.
When it was repaired and rebuilt before, the news also spread within the Church of Seeking Knowledge.
Therefore, the number of people planning to go to Stone Fort increased suddenly!
Everyone can understand the interests involved:
Go to Stone Fort - complete the tasks issued by Norwen - get a lot of rewards! There are also cool limited titles!
There are those who think they are quite strong. The benefits of hunting low-level monsters in the Dark Forest are not high. Responding to the call for tasks is a better way for them to improve their strength.
There are also some new believers who have just become believers after reaching the contribution standard.
Their strength is not strong, but they are not afraid of death!
Anyway, they don’t have much legendary experience at all, so they don’t feel bad if they die, and it’s okay if they can’t pick up their bodies.
Rather than looking for someone to lead you in monster hunting, or slowly working to accumulate legendary experience and destiny points, it is better to take a big gamble.
The task of tracking down the black-robed man is to issue corresponding rewards based on contributions.
In other words.
They may not win in a fight, but they can also find ways to contribute!
For example, indirect attack, inquiring for information and so on.
Therefore, the Jinchao Pofeng, which has a maximum carrying capacity of about 200 people, was fully loaded!
The believers of seeking knowledge crowded onto the airship!
…
Not long after the airship set sail, after determining the direction of navigation, Ronald called Pete to the driving seat on the deck and reminded him:
"According to the navigation map, there is no direct route from Ceylon City to Stone Fortress."
"We need to go to Starosh, the capital of Reyak, for transfer first, and then go all the way north, cross the border of the kingdom, fly over the Spirit Wing Wetland, and finally arrive at Stone Fortress."
"I have to make it clear in advance!"
"It's not that I deliberately took you around in circles and wasted time, but that's what the navigation map requires."
Pet raised his eyebrows and asked: "Navigation map?"
"What is that?"
Ronald shrugged: "Published by the Carron Commercial Aviation Alliance, all airships are The navigation route guidelines that should be followed. "
"In simple terms."
"No matter what size the airship is, it needs to be registered in Green Harbor first."
"After registration, unless there are special circumstances, it is best to fly accurately according to the route marked on the navigation map."
As he spoke, Ronald pointed to the captain's room of the airship next to him: "There is a hand-painted version of the simple navigation map on the table in the room. You can go and see if it is the same as what I said, there is no direct route from Ceylon City to Stone Fort."
Pate asked curiously: "What will happen if you don't drive according to the route on it?"
...
There are 2+1 more updates. I have something to do in the evening. It's not a big problem to stay up all night to work overtime.
