Chapter 957 - Operate in partnership with the gnomes
When Donn found Klotto, he was staring at a pile of drawings. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Donne? You're here just in time to help me refer to these designs, where else can I improve? β
Don leaned over to take a look, and found that it was about the improved design of the new Skybreaker aviation combat platform, Klotto according to Don's opinion, the original design drawings were transformed, the deck area was increased, the middle space was increased, a large number of redundant designs were canceled, and the loading capacity of combat personnel was greatly increased.
Although a hundred Comet motorcycles may not seem like much, the improvement in combat effectiveness is obvious because the Comet motorcycles have also been remodeled and designed, increasing the amount of ammunition and more than doubling the volume, but the combat capability has almost increased several times.
Coupled with Donn's concept of magical kinetic armor, in the future, a Helicarrier will carry at least 1,000 combat personnel on board, and the Helicarrier can be used as a platform at any time, with a combat radius of up to 500 kilometers, which is extremely deterrent.
Of course, Don didn't plan to use this weapon against humans, he wanted to use the mobility of the Helicarrier to realize the mobile transfer of a large number of combat personnel, and quickly cut into the battlefield as a rapid reaction force to achieve an all-round strike effect on the chaotic creatures.
The complex drawings made Don dizzy, but he still found some problems, in this new design, although the load capacity and load space of the Helicarrier have been greatly increased, the armor and structure are also correspondingly much more fragile - the expansion of the internal space will inevitably be accompanied by the reduction of the support structure, and the strength of the overall structure will also decrease.
This means that the defense is greatly reduced.
After Donn pointed out this problem, Kloto explained: "I have already considered this problem, it is difficult to solve from an engineering point of view, thickening the armor means a great increase in its own weight, and the requirements for engine power will be relatively high, the solution I am currently thinking of is to strengthen the defense through the power of magic, the huge hull area can provide a lot of space for the magic array to draw, and the good magic compatibility of the universal alloy can provide a stable working environment for the magic array." β
After thinking for a moment, Donn asked, "If a small amount of Olija steel is added to the universal alloy, will it make the universal alloy have certain characteristics of Olija steel?" β
Kroto was stunned: "We haven't tried this before.
"Let's give it a try, if it is feasible, the thickness of the existing armor can also reach the original defensive strength, plus the defensive power of the magic array, it can basically ensure the defense capability of the Helicarrier."
After a pause, Don continued, "We are currently working hard to train magicians, and in the future, we can consider pairing each Helicarrier with an accompanying mage team to help maintain the Helicarrier on the one hand, and assist in defense on the other. β
Kroto nodded: "I'll try it when I go back...... Anyway, what's the matter with you? β
"I almost forgot about it when you interrupted me."
Don patted his head: "Give me a copy of the original blueprint of the Skybreaker...... Forget it, you make a copy, take it out and let's talk about it directly. β
Kroto raised his eyebrows and shouted at the assistant next to him, "Go and get a copy of the original drawings." β
The assistant left in a hurry.
Krotto jumped down from his chair, wiped his hands, and asked curiously, "Why do you want the original drawings?" β
"I have a great idea, I want to discuss it with you."
Don smiled and said, "Since we have decided to improve the Helicarrier on the basis of the Skybreaker, why don't we rebuild a civilian airship on the basis of the Skybreaker?" β
"Civilian airships?"
Kroto was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he clapped his hands: "You want to engage in air transportation?" β
"That's right."
Don nodded: "Have you thought about it?" β
"Of course."
Kroto picked up the tea handed over by his assistant and drank it dry in one gulp, and then said with a red face: "Cool! I have to say, these tea leaves you gave me feel amazing to drink, and I feel younger recently. β
Tang En smiled slightly, the tea made from the leaves of the world tree contains rich vitality, and it is certainly beneficial to drink it often.
Klotto: They are now Donn's staunch supporters, and he will not treat his own people badly.
"I've thought about this a long time ago."
Kloto smiled and said, "That guy in Rivez can use the power of the dragon clan and his stupid brain to open the Star Diamond Bank all over the world, why can't we gnomes do business all over the world?" β
Donn laughed in his heart, he couldn't tell that Kloto was quite competitive.
"At that time, I thought about what unique advantages we had over the goblins, and in the end, I only thought of the Skybreaker."
"Then why didn't you do it?"
Klotto shrugged: "Of course, because there are no conditions." β
"What do you mean?"
"You forgot? The first time you saw the Skybreaker, the Skybreaker hadn't yet taken off. β
Cloto reminded Donn: "If the power problem is not solved, we will not be able to mass-produce the Skybreaker for a day." β
"Not only that, even if the power problem is solved, there are also problems, our dwarf's individual strength is not strong, we don't have the luck of Rivitz, we can find a strong backer like the dragon, even if the air transportation industry is developed, it will definitely fall into the hands of others in the end."
Donn nodded in understanding, the truth that the puffer is not guilty and guilty is universal, and Plandar is no exception, with the power of the Apocalypse, not to mention the legendary, even the supreme-level, transcendental-level powerhouse, can make the dwarf speechless - so they have been hiding in the depths of the Ambrice Mountains all these years.
Speaking of this, Kloto smiled: "But if you want to develop this industry, it must be fine." β
Tang En also smiled: "Of course I won't forget the merits of the dwarf, the Skybreaker is the technological crystallization of the dwarf, I won't monopolize it, so let's do it, you use technology to invest in the airship transportation industry, how about I give you thirty percent of the shares?" Don't be too busy refusing, I know that there is no need for money in the society of the dwarf country, but in the future, the world will become more and more open, and the races will become more and more integrated, and I believe that soon you will also integrate into this world, and you can't let your people be impoverished by that time, right? β
Klotto pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Donn's terms.
He didn't want it originally, Tang En was very helpful to the dwarf country, and with him, the dwarf country is now advancing by leaps and bounds in all aspects, and the speed of reverse restoration of prehistoric civilization has also improved a lot.
But as Donn said, the world is becoming more and more open, and if you don't want to be abandoned by the world, you have to take the initiative to integrate into the world, and if the gnomes don't have the currency in circulation in the human kingdom in their hands, they can only be reduced to the role of the bottom of society at that time.
"Then it's so happily decided, you provide follow-up technical services, upgrades and maintenance, etc., our Datang Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the operation, and I provide policy protection for the airship operation as the regent, and you can get thirty percent of the profits."
Don simply made up the decision on this cooperation plan.
He didn't care about lost profits, as he had always said, money was just a tool to his ends, and as long as it could help the society to develop rapidly, he didn't need money - with his strength, he would not starve to death.
Giving away thirty percent of the profits can further tie the dwarf and the Datang Chamber of Commerce together, and the alliance relationship is more solid and reliable, which can only benefit him and not harm.
Soon Kloto's assistant returned with a copy of the drawing, and Don and Kloto and a group of assistants began to discuss the drawing.
Kroto took the pen and quickly crossed a few crosses on the blueprint: "Since it is used in the civilian field, then these large weapons can be canceled, in order to deal with the danger posed by the possible flying demonic beasts, only a small amount of anti-aircraft firepower is retained, so that the load can be reduced by one-third." β
Tang En nodded: "Considering the needs of long-distance flight, the cabin needs to be separated from the room, and considering the attributes of the passengers, it needs to be divided into high, medium and low grades, and the number is distributed according to 1:3:6." β
Kroto raised his eyebrows and nodded in the side view: "Then the middle and lower floors will be converted into cabin areas, the bottom floor will be separated from the passenger area as the power floor and cargo compartment, and the upper level will be transformed into seats, which can accommodate more passengers." A fence should also be added to the deck, which is not only convenient for passengers to enjoy the scenery from the sky, but also to prevent them from falling down. β
"It's not just the fence," Don Mo rubbed his chin, "The air currents in the sky are very violent, if you want to take care of the actions of the passengers on the deck, you also need a large magic array to protect the airship, the magic array is nothing, but if you open it all the way on a voyage, you need to consume magic crystals, and the operating cost will rise...... Forget it, safety first, just design it like this, and then count the operating costs into the ticket price. β
"You really have the potential to be an unscrupulous businessman."
Krotto smiled, pointed to the front of the drawing, and said, "The firing window of the canceled weapon can be replaced with armorβ"
"No, keep those windows."
Tang En stared at the drawings and said brightly, "Replacing it with high-strength glass can be designed as a picture window, I think passengers will enjoy the feeling of standing on it and enjoying the scenery." β
The corners of Kloto's mouth twitched, he wanted to ask Donn, how many civilians had the courage to stand in that kind of place and look at the scenery? Just seeing the clouds floating under your feet scares you, right?
But Klott didn't know that there were never a few people in the world who liked to seek excitement......
What he didn't expect was that this design would become a wonderful scene on the airship in the future, and the room with the picture window would be hard to find for a long time.
