And if used well, it will become a catalyst for acceleration.

What Zuo Si has to do is to understand and grasp what these people want at all times, and then give them a stage where they can use their strengths.

"What about me? What do I look like in your eyes?" Mastermind Isadora asked with a slightly curious tone.

"You are the most important partner, ally and family, and you are also one of the very few people I can completely trust. I will even capture a spark when the time is right, so that you can become a planeswalker like me."

Zuo Si gave the answer without hesitation.

"Become a planeswalker? Me!"

The mastermind Isadora was obviously surprised.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes. If you want to kill Nicol Bolas in the War of Sparks, it's not enough to rely on my own strength.

Even if you add the ancient planeswalkers such as Lithomancer Nahiri, Sorin Markov, and the spirit dragon Ugin, as well as the new generation of planeswalkers such as Jace, Liliana, Chandra, Nissa, and Gideon Yura,

An outstanding representative, he can barely improve his chances of winning.

What's more, they and I have never been of the same mind.

You might end up turning against each other because of some actions in the future.

Since I can make even an ally like Shane VII a planeswalker, why can’t you and the other three Isadoras?

The only problem at the moment is that the other three of you are obviously in unstable mental states.

Only you who have inherited a rational personality can perfectly control the power of sparks and become my most powerful and trustworthy helper."

As these words blurted out, the mastermind Isadora instantly fell into violent mood swings.

It took a full minute for her to create an illusion of herself as a human through her psychic powers. Her eyes were filled with emotion and deep attachment. She gently touched Zuo Si's cheek with her non-existent illusory hands, and pressed her hand tightly.

Then he stood up on his tiptoes and kissed her.

Since psychic energy directly affects the brain and even the soul, it can simulate vision, hearing, smell, touch and taste that are no different from the real world.

Zuo Si could even clearly feel the softness of the other person's lips and the faint fragrance emanating from his body.

After a while, the two slowly separated.

"Thank you, thank you for considering me so important. I swear that I will never let down this trust, let alone your expectations."

The mastermind Isadora promised with affectionate words.

At this moment, she felt that the sacrifices she had chosen to make were worth it.

"I look forward to that day coming."

After saying that, Zuo Si turned around and left the shell ship, and went straight to a floating island outside the main body of the floating city.

This is the headquarters of the weapons design and R&D department, and it is also a platform for assembling some large-scale devices.

At this moment, in an open space, four large airships with a length of more than 350 meters and a dozen small airships of about 50 meters are being built with the intensive cooperation of constructs and corpse-embedded creatures.

.

Of course, some players with corresponding work experience in factories or assembly workshops also joined with interest and were responsible for some areas that required professional skills.

Judging from the appearance, one-third of it is almost completed, and only needs to be enchanted and restarted before it can be put into use.

When the person in charge, Bohr, saw Zuo Si, he immediately stopped what he was doing and rushed over to report: "Your Excellency, according to your request, we have begun to build an airship force integrating transportation and bombing.<

/p>

In a few days, all these big guys will be put into use.

Although relatively dangerous hydrogen is still used, news has come from the physics and chemistry departments that there have been new discoveries and technological breakthroughs.

It is estimated that a cheap way to obtain helium will be invented in a few weeks at most.

At that time, as long as the hydrogen is replaced with helium, the last flaw of the airship as a means of transportation can be made up.

In addition to airships, I also took the time to design several propeller aircraft powered by electricity.

After all, the cylindrical crystal you created can store a large amount of electrical energy, directly and fundamentally solving the biggest problem of energy supply.

Coupled with the use of various magics, electric aircraft not only become a possibility, but also have much greater future development potential than airships.

In particular, the first-level [Feather Fall Technique] allows the aircraft to fly easily with only a small amount of thrust, and can easily complete high-speed maneuvers and turns that would otherwise require complex structures.

For this reason, I specially changed the shape of the aircraft to make it larger and more rounded so that it can carry more people or cargo. The speed is more than twice that of the airship, and it can easily reach 1,100 kilometers per hour.

And in the future we can try to combine magical power to design an electric jet engine to reach speeds above Mach 3.

As for weapons, I have been trying to miniaturize the electromagnetic gun, and at the same time, I have the chemistry department research a magic bomb that is smaller in size and has greater explosive power.

After the two are combined, whether it is used as an air combat weapon or as an aerial gunship to support the ground, the efficiency will definitely be far better than that of an airship.

The most important thing is that it is not as huge as an airship and has higher maneuverability in the air. It will not become a living target once it is attacked like an airship."

Glancing at the drawings and reports given by Boll, the chief weapons designer of Floating City, Zuo Si immediately asked without raising his head: "Compared with airships, how much more expensive is an airplane?"

"Well - for the money of building one large airship, you can almost build three large transport bombers. Although the carrying capacity of the latter cannot be compared with the former."

Bohr quickly gave a more accurate answer.

"In that case, let's try building two of each type first."

Zuo Si thought about it for a while and quickly approved the plan.

As a modern person, it is naturally impossible for him to not know the shortcomings and advantages of airplanes and airships.

The latter can stay in the air for a long time without wasting too much energy, and is obviously more suitable as a transportation vehicle or aerial platform;

The former is small, fast, flexible and more suitable for carrying out emergency missions or entering dangerous battlefields.

The reason why airplanes will replace airships on earth is that, in addition to their own huge flaws, there is also a very important reason that is the "Hindenburg" air disaster that attracted worldwide attention.

This air crash made many people and wealthy people fear and distrust airships as a means of transportation, so that many airships under construction were immediately stopped, and research and development in many related fields also lost financial support and had to announce their disbandment.

After people later realized some of the advantages of airships, aircraft had developed for more than eighty years, and the accumulation of technology was simply beyond the reach of airships.

Coupled with people's pursuit of efficiency and speed in modern society, this ultimately led to the unshakable dominance of aircraft.

But as a planeswalker, Zuo Si obviously does not need to take into account the feelings of the people.

With nearly unlimited resources, he does not have to worry about how to make the most reasonable allocation of limited resources like many people.

As the saying goes, only children make choices, of course adults have to make all choices.

Whether it is an airship or an airplane, Zuo Si will not hesitate to continue investing resources in technology research and development, iteration and upgrades.

After deciphering the creations of the Solan civilization, we might even add a weird type of "ornithopter" that is very unscientific but very magical.

"Hey! I knew you would support our department as always."

Boll looked very happy when the plan was approved, with undisguised excitement and expectation on his face.

Having worked for a government department, he never dared to imagine that an aircraft research and development project that could cost billions or even tens of billions could be approved in just a few seconds after submission.

In the eyes of this young weapons expert, the Floating City of Plantia led by Zuo Si is a truly scientific, efficient, clean and almost perfect regime.

Only here will professionals like myself gain enough respect and be managed by a group of senior talents with the same expertise. There will be no corruption at all from top to bottom.

There is no need to pay attention to those shameless politicians who do anything to get votes. There are also a group of ignorant people who may not be able to solve the simplest linear equation of two variables and even think that the earth is a flat surface. They are there to criticize the latest scientific research results in certain fields.

Let professional people do professional things!

This is the ideal social state of many industry elites, including Bol.

And this kind of social state is absolutely impossible to achieve through the bullshit "democracy" and "freedom" promoted by the mainstream values ​​​​on the earth.

Quite the opposite!

It requires a highly centralized government without political internal friction, which is what many people regard as strongman politics and dictatorship to achieve.

"Work hard, I hope one day I can see you build a super spacecraft that can travel in the vast universe and even different time and space." Zuo Si encouraged with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bohr's eyes immediately shone and he asked in an uncertain tone: "Does such a creation really exist in the world?"

Zuo Si nodded without thinking: "Of course! As far as I know, an ancient planeswalker named Urza once built a spaceship called Weatherlight. Not only can it travel through different time and space at will,

At the same time, it also has nearly unlimited energy and can withstand the baptism of time. It is the ultimate creation that combines true technology and magic."

"Damn it! If only I could take a look!"

Bol couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

You must know that in another secret base, the preliminary technology obtained by reverse engineering dragon engines, structures, magic heavy cannons, etc. has given him an eye-opening feeling, and it has also opened his eyes to the likes of Solan and Phyrek.

West Asia, a super civilization that combines magic and technology, is full of respect.

Now when I heard that there was such an incredible creation as the Weatherlight spacecraft, a strong desire for knowledge immediately burst out in my subconscious.

Unfortunately, the Weatherlight was most likely destroyed during the final battle between Urza and Yawgmoth.

Also destroyed were ancient legacies containing unknown power, as well as the famous "Strong Energy Stone" and "Weak Energy Stone".

In the next few hours, Zuo Si visited various departments in the floating city that were busy and had in-depth exchanges with the people in charge, approved some plans and research projects, and then returned to the Mage Tower in Askatra
