Since it is a temporary frontline base, no lighting equipment is set up in the airport, and there are no lighting on the runway on the ground, which means that the plane can only take off during the day.

"Fill up the oil! Fill up the oil!"

"Check the instrument panel, check the balance rudder, check the joystick, check the oil pipe, check the conveyor shaft, check the machine shell chain, check the propeller, check the tail..."

Around each plane, there were shouts of shouting sounds one after another.

Nowadays, the size of the air force has been expanding again and again, and the goblins in the air force have gradually changed from most to a minority, and more work is undertaken by human soldiers, which has further increased the number of human engineers in the Iva Air Force. Many of the work to maintain the daily operation of aircraft are undertaken by human soldiers trained by goblins.

Iva's human engineers have also begun to research and manufacture aircraft themselves without the support of goblins.

In order to make greater optimization of existing aircraft and to meet Locke's requirements... Well... Under Locke's strong support and some appearance guidance, engineers began to vigorously improve the helicopter. Now, the appearance of the helicopter parked on the lawn has been greatly improved.

Basically all the planes are in the pilot seat and are equipped with some simple transparent glass cabins. Moreover, in the middle of this airport, several helicopters, which are many larger than other helicopters, docked there quietly.

They...but the bloody and tears history and pride of engineer Iva...

First of all, they are huge in size. A pair of short wings extend out on the left and right sides of their fuselage, with two mounting points on each, and a 30mm single-tube cannon is mounted on each mounting point. With the cannon of the nose, each aircraft has five cannons.

This seemingly simple modification has really allowed Iva's engineers to study for many years. In order to overcome the various problems that arise... Looking back on the past, Iva's engineers can be said to have tears on their faces.

For Locke, a time traveler, he would always involuntarily compare things in this world with his previous life. However, through his understanding of the engineering science of this world, he found that the difference between this world and the engineering disciplines in his original world was not as big as imagined.

Although, it's still very primitive.

This is actually mainly because humans in this world do not recognize this kind of thing very much.

Not approving this means that only a few people use it. This is a problem with the engineering of using goblins and gnomes on the planet Azeroth. Humans and dwarves would rather spend a lot of time taming griffins than using mechanical aircraft. Why?

This is what I said earlier. The engineering of this world is still in a relatively primitive stage. The endless accidents hinder people's love for this kind of thing. Not to mention anything else, would you use mobile phones that often crash and explode? Will you like it?

Similarly, one thing was invented because it was the first generation of machines, the failure rate was too high and it was not recognized by others. If this were the case, it would be difficult for the creator to develop new passions and transform and perfect this machinery. Other mechanical creations would also face such problems.

In this case, the technological development of this world will come to a halt. Only those who truly love this subject will continue to study until they consume their last patience.

In fact, the main reason for this is that the engineering of this world does not have a unified standard concept. For example, goblins and dwarfs, two races that are already closely related to engineering in life, do not have a unified standard concept between themselves.

When Locke found out, he was also surprised. Almost every goblin and dwarf who rely on engineering students to survive, they strictly abide by the standards they set!

Yes! You read that right! It is the standard they set in ‘their own’!

Every goblin hides his drawings of his mechanical creation as treasures, and then makes all of this by himself; as small as a few centimeters of screws to a cutting steel plate of several meters, engineers operate them themselves. Especially the material of steel, engineers know that the material of steel is very important. When smelting, some minerals must be added in different proportions, which determines the quality of the steel when it is released.

All of the above are done by every independent engineer, with his or her apprentice. Almost every engineer will not communicate with what he or she has mastered. This leads to the uneven level of development of engineering...

There is also a phenomenon that every engineer must be a rich person... because their research requires a lot of mineral resources or other things, which ordinary people cannot bear at all. But whenever engineers create something valuable and are attracted to by others, engineers may return all their expenses in the past few years, and even make a lot of money.

This also led to the inheritance of the project being mostly circulated among the rich...

Money also restricts the spread of engineering.

What? You said every engineer has a large number of apprentices?

Oh, yes, there are a lot of apprentices...

But sadly, these apprentices may be an apprentice for the rest of their lives. Because they are the cheapest labor force for engineers, engineers will not kindly teach you the guys they eat unless you are their relatives, juniors in the family, or... rich.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people can get it right at a glance?

Locke was also deeply surprised. It turned out that there was a concept in this world, that is, the master was starved to death by his apprentice...

So, in the end, Locke discovered that various reasons were gathered together to restrict the spread of engineering. This is why magic is popular on this planet.

Of course, it is not ruled out that other great masters are unwilling to spread engineering in Azeroth. After all, this thing has developed to the later stages, who still has faith?

Going far...

Now, many army officers under Locke have complained about the Air Force, even if the Air Force has achieved great results.

If Locke had not unified Iva's measurement and standards in a prescient way, Iva's current air force development would have been difficult...

At that time, Locke's idea was directly applied to old aircraft and was directly modified... The aircraft was equipped with short wings on both sides, increasing the number of cannons on both sides...

After the aircraft is modified, its power has indeed increased. But then the number of shells consumed by the aircraft will be much faster, so that the bullets will be gone after a few minutes of fighting in the sky.

OK! The engineers made an enthusiastic decision! Then increase the drum space on the plane! As long as the drum capacity is increased, the bullets of the plane will be enough!

Yes, increasing the drum capacity makes the aircraft able to fight in the sky greatly increase the time for the aircraft to fight in the sky, but this problem arises again. The aircraft's ammunition supply speed cannot keep up with the speed consumed by the five cannons, and the cannons are intermittent when they shoot bullets. Moreover, the weight of the aircraft has increased a lot, and the original steel structure cannot afford it and the beginning of breaking is broken, and the aircraft's power is too low to guarantee a smooth takeoff...

All kinds of problems have reappeared...

Iva's engineers tragically discovered that the aircraft faced the risk of redesign...

It is very difficult for the existing aircraft architecture to support two short wings and three external cannons, but according to the requirements of their great lord, the weapon systems he requires must be added. The aircraft can only be added barely. Not to mention whether it can go to heaven, it will be a disastrous end if it goes up. Even if it does not fall apart, the speed and flexibility of the aircraft will inevitably be affected.

These are all the consequences of Locke's random command...

If it weren't for their high salary and their families were treated generously, these people would probably have quit...

What to do? Only redesign...modify...Iva's engineers can only perform very long...

Their great lord always made various modification requirements for these prototypes being tested, but the previous aircraft skeletons were difficult to support what he required, so they could only find ways to improve the material of steel and at the same time enlarge the previous aircraft skeletons... But the engineers also found that if the skeletons of the aircraft were enlarged, almost all the components would be enlarged! But all existing machine tools that make these parts could not be made by modification, and most of the machine tools would have to be rebuilt or developed...

This is a disaster for the engineers trained by Iva...

Helplessly, Iva's engineers can only make do with it by hand...

Then after going through a lot of hardships to build several strange-shaped planes, the Grand Lord nodded very satisfied, but the engineers were angry and found that this big guy was facing other problems when he took off...

The plane still cannot take off, and the power problem is still not solved...

As the actual leader of the goblins on Iva's side, Gates has a special liking for this. He led the goblin engineer to make many improvements on the original engine, and directly forced the engine's power to five times! However, after the explosion several times, many goblin engineers were injured. This experiment still did not make any progress.

Until a goblin slapped his head and said, the airship engine has a lot of power. Why don’t we try to install the airship engine?

At first, the goblins laughed at him because the airship's engine system was very huge, so large that it could fill a house. If such a power system was installed on the plane, what was the plane?

The speaker was unintentional. The listener was intentional. Gates carefully studied the engine drawings of the airship and found that it was possible. So they referred to the power system of the airship and gathered the power system of the airship, barely put together a new engine...

Although there were frequent shutdowns and failures, the new engine did succeed. He increased the power of the original aircraft engine by at least five times, which made everything Rock wanted to install the aircraft a reality.

Then the engineers assembled the plane with great enthusiasm. On the day of the test flight, the plane had just taken off and plunged to the ground...

Not enough balance...redesign is needed...

Finally, the reason was that the tail wing was too close to the fuselage, and the front and rear of the aircraft were unbalanced... So, the fuselage had to be redesigned again...

In short, these problems have continued to emerge in recent years.

As the only customer of the aircraft, the Air Force actually doesn't look down on these strange new aircraft. However, their great lord still insists on his own...

The Iva engineers were busy with the plane's drawings and finally the plane was able to take off after redesigning the new drawings based on the previous plane drawings.

When the plane flies in the sky, then the problem arises again...

This is an old problem. The cannon of the plane is intermittent and stuck.

After research, it was found that although each cannon is equipped with some auxiliary equipment and the device has a separate ammunition supply groove, the ammunition supply speed is indeed much faster, the ammunition drum chamber is still unevenly supplying ammunition to the five cannons at the same time, which will still cause the cannons to often get stuck in the air...

In order to deal with the problem of ammunition loss of aircraft cannons, the goblins opened their brains and installed a small generator on the back abdomen of the aircraft, which supplied the five 30mm cannons on the entire aircraft with electricity.

The problem has been solved.

When the plane could fly smoothly in the sky and hit the cannon shells smoothly to the ground, the Iva engineers were so full of tears!

But when Locke saw it, he was still a little dissatisfied... He forced the engineers to cover the fuselage with iron sheet... It was said that it was to protect these exposed key parts and to prevent the enemy from knowing the real situation inside the plane.

So when the engineers asked Locke to visit the plane again, Locke couldn't help but step forward and caress them, although it was still very different from the planes I saw in my previous life...

The engines on the left and right sides of the helicopter are placed on the left and right edges of the abdomen, which looks a bit weird. If it weren't for the four propellers above the head, this thing looked like a modern fighter, except that it took off and landed vertically. However, this is still within an acceptable range. You must know that this has been an epoch-making invention. It is not easy to be able to do this in this world where technology is not very developed.

Locke was very satisfied and finally made something different.

As for whether it will evolve into a modern fighter or a helicopter, it doesn't matter whether it will become a modern fighter or a helicopter. He has already planted and developed the technology seeds of Iva, and it depends on how it will develop in the future.

According to the engineers, because protective glass panels are installed in front of the pilot and steel plates are also covered with airplane's fuselage, the aircraft's linear navigation speed will be much faster than before. It is just because of the increase in weight and body size, it is impossible to make various flexible and maneuverable flight skills like the previous small aircraft.

Moreover, because there is a generator on the plane, the aircraft's instrument panel and cab are equipped with lights. A movable searchlight is installed under the nose of the plane. This allows the aircraft to take off at night, but it may be difficult to fight.

In addition, this new helicopter can be driven by one person or two people. One person can drive it in a difficult situation, and it is very dangerous if you don’t have enough energy. If you drive it, it will be much easier. One of them drives the plane, and the other one operates the weapon system on the plane. Of course, the co-pilot can also fly the plane, and the main driver can also control the weapons. The two can switch at will.

When the Air Force girls bravely jumped onto the plane and flew stably and at high speed in the sky, Locke was rarely excited. This was the first time he had touched his previous life in so many years since he came to this world.

However, it is not enough and needs to be improved gradually. Of course, this batch of aircraft can be put into production. As for the subsequent improvements, you can take it slowly and find problems during use to improve them...

And then sell the old plane to others?...

As for whether it would bring any changes to the world, Locke smiled and curled his lips. His appearance was the biggest change for the world.

Will the Industrial Revolution appear in this world? Then it doesn't matter. In fact, he also wants to see how they will view this industrial change in this world where legends are everywhere.

"Apache! Apache!" Goblin Klich shouted around these new aircraft, and soon eight girls surrounded him.

Klich tsk a few times and saluted one by one to the girls standing in front of him who were much taller than him.

"To be honest, as pilots, I really envy you for flying this kind of aircraft..." Klich looked at the helicopter behind them with envy, "This is Iva's most advanced aircraft... no!"

Klich said firmly, "This is the most advanced aircraft on this planet! None of them!"

"Captain Clicge, you were the first to fly this kind of plane. You are not shorter than us."

Faced with the girls' teasing, Klich smacked his lips, and he said a little aggrievedly, "I would rather not be the captain, just be the pilot of these planes..."

Speaking of this, Klich was also quite aggrieved and helpless. He couldn't understand why Locke treated the test pilot as a treasure and did not allow him to fly these new planes...

Isn't the test pilot a person capable of doing it...

After a brief distraction, Klich cleared his throat and coughed a few times and said, "Don't interrupt, I hope you can understand your value. You are Iva's most precious wealth, yours..."

"Your value is immeasurable, right? Captain?" Faced with the girls' robbery, Klich laughed. He always likes to say this to every girl.
