"Are you planning to move them to a steam airship and then drop them from the air to injure the enemy?" Homer somewhat guessed Downton's plan.
"How long is the match rope needed?" Walnut thought it was impossible. "If it explodes in advance or is dropped and not exploded at all, it will be of no use at all!"
"The little princess is right. Even if we make the goblin bombs big enough, it will not be easy to kill people unless there are enough of them. But in this case, it is better to carry a small team of archers on the airship."
Abagong didn't know much about steam technology. He only had some theoretical knowledge taught by his father, but it also allowed him to see more problems than Xiao Hutao.
How bad is your luck to be crushed to death by such an iron lump on the vast ground?
"This tactic is not feasible. You have never flown before, so you have no idea how agitated and chaotic the airflow at high altitudes is. The weight of the arrow is too light, and it will be blown away within a dozen meters after being shot." Homer objected,
"Even flying at low altitude can't solve this problem."
"At ultra-low altitude, the advantages of steam airships no longer exist. Within an altitude of three to four hundred meters, those dragon-slaying-level shooters are capable of hitting airships." Abagong also shook his head. He didn't want his master to spend too much time.
Money makes useless things.
"Is it still called a steam airship when it flies low? Why not call it a bird ship, carrying archers? As you can imagine, they are all long-range troops, and the threats on land are the same!" Downton rolled his eyes.
"You have to consider mobility."
"Yes, if the archers are defeated, they can organize themselves to fight again, but sitting on the airship will make you unable to control yourself." Homer has already analyzed the pros and cons in an instant, "And even if you defeat the enemy and pursue it, it still depends on the power of the airship.
Can we keep up? If the enemy flees in all directions, the archers will have nothing to do and will not be able to expand the results of the battle, so it is too inconvenient."
"Isn't the task of pursuit the cavalry's?" Hu Tao was puzzled.
"With such a fast speed, wouldn't it be a waste if the airship is not used?" Homer said depressedly, "Could it be that it can only be used for transportation?"
"How about carrying a javelin?" Hutao was excited. He thought he had a good idea, "The javelin is heavier than the bow and arrow, so it shouldn't be affected by the wind speed, right?"
"It's still a matter of hit rate. An airship can carry up to thirty people. Even if they are all sharpshooters, they can't always hit the target!"
Homer sighed, whether it was bows and arrows or spears, in legion battles, a large number of covering blows were used to kill the enemy. If you want to shoot one arrow at a time, that would be a dream.
"Goddess above, don't you think about the issue of efficiency? The airship is powered by steam. To generate enough steam, it needs to burn huge magic stones. Even if the gunners don't get tired, they can keep fighting and the hit rate reaches 100%.
More than 90%, this is still a tactic that costs the life of your wife."
Abagong wailed. No matter what, the master must give up this idea, otherwise the dungeon will be so wasteful even if it is a golden mountain.
"The fuel cost is probably enough to form a cavalry regiment." Homer was not off base. Steam airships are always expensive.
"Do I look like such a stupid person?" Downton rolled his eyes at Abagon and tapped his temple with his index finger, "Spread your thoughts and use your brain!"
"Eh? Do you already have a plan? Tell me quickly?" Hutao knew that her elder brother was always smart, so she was too lazy to use her brain and lay on his back, hugging his neck and acting coquettishly.
"All ears!" Homer couldn't believe it and gave in.
"The height of the airship remains unchanged, and a large number of goblin bombs are airdropped, using the shock waves and flames generated by the explosion to kill people!" Downton smiled, "In addition to the airship commander and pilot, two bombardiers can handle the matter. Save
The extra weight can also be used to carry more bombs.”
"Didn't we discuss it?" Hu Tao wondered, "Is it really necessary to add a match rope?"
"That's absolutely impossible. The quality of the match rope is also different, which results in a different burning time. Therefore, even if the altitude of the airship is constant, the goblin bomb explodes at a different time." Abagon clasped his hands together, "Master, you can
Stop causing trouble."
"Can you please hear me out?" Downton took the quill and parchment from the butler's hand and began to draw.
"What's this?"
Walnut saw that what Downton had drawn was a spindle-shaped object with a pointed front and a tail at the back.
"Even if you change the shape, it's still a goblin bomb." Homer has a vast knowledge reserve, and he can see more information from a drawing, "But how do you ignite this and detonate it?"
"Use the firing pin type!" Downton explained. "The firing pin is designed inside the bomb and is triggered by the pressure generated when the free fall hits the ground."
"Free fall? What is that?" Hutao's eyes were about to turn into spinning mosquito coils again, because he couldn't understand it at all!
Homer was stunned, as if he was struck by lightning, and his blocked thoughts suddenly became clear.
The principle of this kind of detonation is very simple. With the wisdom of the grimoire, Downton doesn't even need to elaborate, he can understand it with a simple description.
"How did you come up with it?" The Cheap God is also very interested. Many inventions in history are like this. The principle is very simple, but many people don't think of it or don't notice it. Those who see it become famous inventions.
Home.
"Inspiration!" Downton changed the subject. He couldn't tell the cheap god that he often had all kinds of weird dreams when he was a child. In that dream world, there were those kind of flying iron birds, and they had already
He became the main force in the war, throwing all kinds of bombs.
"I really want to know what the world looks like in your eyes?" Cheap God sighed. He knew that in the eyes of some geniuses, the same world would be different from what ordinary people see.
Sometimes an inspiration can change the world, such as the goblin master Watt. It was he who saw a boiling kettle and had a flash of inspiration. He improved the steam engine, which brought about steam civilization and created the glorious era of the hobgoblin.
"Abbagon, Homer, do you think it's troublesome to make this kind of bomb?" Downton drew several more bombs and asked the two professionals.
"It's difficult to make a goblin bomb from scratch, but make a small improvement on the existing basis. Don't make it too simple." Homer admired the drawings and explained casually. "Just change the match ignition to the striker type, don't say
I can solve it with Krupp and dwarves."
"That's good!" Downton felt reassured, "If we want to conquer the Western Region, we might rely on it."
"Is this weapon very powerful?"
Abagon asked, and Hutao also blinked and waited for an answer. If you have never seen the power of bombs with your own eyes, you will never know their terror.
"You can call them the Grim Reaper, a nightmare for any ground force!" Downton racked his brains to recall the structure and type of the bomb, trying to write it down as clearly as possible, "You will know by then."
"I want to be the airship captain!" Hutao started to act coquettishly again.
"no problem."
"Don't be complacent. The airship's cruising speed is not very fast. What should you do if you encounter the opponent's flying monsters?" Homer reminded, "The Duke of the West does not have flying troops, but there must be flying magic pets. If they attack the airship, you just wait.
Just crash!"
"I have firebird escorts." Downton laughed. "If it weren't for Salomanda, I wouldn't dare to use the airship even if I got it, but the combat power is still too small. I want to capture more flying demon servants."
"Let's go to Dragon Island to catch the dragon!"
Hutao jumped off Downton's back, eager to try.
"My little ancestor, please slow down your efforts. With the dragon army, you still need a shitty airship formation. They can take down the entire Delankfurt."
Abagong quickly grabbed Hu Tao, and with the rough character of the little lolita, he was really able to do it.
"Last question, this kind of bombs need to be dropped intensively to produce maximum damage. Where do you get the materials to make them? These are military supplies. They are banned in any country." Homer is worthy of being an ancient grimoire.
, I have understood the key problem of the bomb.
"Look for Hannah, look for Andrea. If that doesn't work, I'll deal with the brotherhood. No matter what, my dream of the Air Force must come true." Downton waved his fist. He was ready to bleed heavily, but he
I’m even more afraid that I don’t have anywhere to spend the money I want to spend.
"No wonder the master befriended Hannah. It turned out to be just for this step!" Abagon suddenly realized. He had previously wondered how the master brought his rival home.
"Who are you going to hand it over to make it?" Homer had a headache. "Krupp has the best technology, but you can't trust it. The same is true for the group of orc blacksmiths you recruited. They might not be able to use the technology the next day.
It has been leaked to the country. Among the blacksmiths in the mine, no one except the dwarf Giroud can be used, but relying on him alone, the output will definitely not increase."
"Let them all sign a death contract." Abagon said fiercely, "Such an important technology must not be left to outsiders."
"I won't force them to do such a thing. I'm not a tyrant?" Downton frowned. In his heart, he resisted this approach.
"Blacksmiths are technical talents that all countries are hoarding. They rarely go to the slave market, so buying slaves is not feasible." Abagong was worried to death.
"Don't you have a few giant guards? The colorful world of the West has conquered them. You let them go back to lobby their parents to settle in the West together." The cheap god became sinister, which also attracted people's attention.
"Their clan leader must not agree, right?" Downton shook his head.
"Idiot, wouldn't you say that you left in the name of visiting relatives? Anyway, the portal is in your hands. When they come, the patriarch can't help them." The cheap god really wanted to knock Downton on the head, "You have to do it.
If it’s a big deal, don’t worry about it in these small places.”
"Yes, when the food and drink are served as offerings, they will definitely be happy to miss Shu." Homer is not worried about Krupp's forging technology.
In our lives, we will always walk with metal. This is a famous proverb of the Krupp tribe, which is enough to prove their love for forging and superb skills. (To be continued...)
ps: Bombers have appeared. We have designed this unit long before opening the book, and one of the meanings of Abagon’s existence is to discover those hidden books. Please look forward to the future performance of the bombing formation!
