Chapter 295: Perfection flying into the sky
After careful consideration of the fuel and power issues for the flying knight, Perfection finally decided to get some technology and hard work.
She refined the crude oil obtained from Death Valley and separated the first drop of kerosene in the world.
Yes, Purficott plans to give liquid fuel to the flying knight.
For Purficott, who already controls an oil field, she is capable of doing this.
After all, the current demand for oil in the north is almost zero. Although Purficott intends to develop petrochemical industry, under the current situation, using it as fuel for flying knights seems to be the right way out for oil.
However, although it is planned to use kerosene as fuel for the flying knight, this does not mean that Perfectcott intends to replace the flying knight with an internal combustion engine.
On the one hand, there is no need at all. The output of the current steam turbine is enough.
The existence of a cheating material like flying stone allows the flying knight to not need to consider his own weight at all. All the power output can be put into the propeller, allowing the flying knight to reach an astonishing speed. To a jaw-dropping degree.
On the other hand, the Flying Knight is now completely a thing created by Perfectcott across the ages. The Steam Knight is already a super model, but now he wants to make it fly?
Purficott even felt that if she hadn't unsealed the Jade Record, she might not be able to create the Flying Knight in another hundred years.
Because there is no need to do so.
After all, the whole world has just transitioned from the cold weapon warfare of the feudal era to the muzzle-loading muskets of the industrial era. Not to mention throwing T34 on the battlefield, now even the AD-1 has been produced. This is a serious blow to dimensionality reduction.
But for Purficott, what she considered when creating the Flying Knight was not whether there was such a demand now, but that she needed to put the Flying Stone into practical use, so as to unblock the Jade Record. On the next page, while acquiring new technology, Cuiyulu can also unlock more new functions.
Especially the function that she covets the most is the ability to customize technology, which is really great for Purficott.
If she had this function now, there would be no need for her to worry about how to survive the end of winter in the North. She could just drive Laputa and enter the universe!
Even a little too much, would you like to know more about Wandering Earth? She can't move the entire earth, but there is no problem in building a flying continent.
In fact, for the current Purficott, she is indeed beyond the reach of such exaggerated things as Laputa in the Sky City, but she is still able to build a floating city like that in classical fantasy novels. It can be done.
This is also another of the two applications that Perficott considered after obtaining the flying stone technology.
If the flying knight cannot be recognized by Cuiyulu, then she will have no choice but to build a floating city.
But compared to a project like the Flying Knight, which only requires a flying stone, building a floating city is not a simple matter.
At the very least, Purficott has to carve out a flying stone large enough to create an anti-gravity field large enough to make the entire city fly.
This is also an almost impossible task for Purficott. Even if she has the help of the Philosopher's Stone, she will have to tire herself out at least several times before she can build a building that can The city flies up with flying stones.
Of course, if Purficott wants to be more opportunistic, she can also use small pieces of flying stones to build flying parts one by one, and then splice them together to build a floating city. It's just that this is a bit too troublesome and cumbersome for her, and she doesn't like doing repetitive work at all.
If she was allowed to sit in the alchemy workshop for a long time just to make various parts of the floating city, she would go crazy.
And from a certain point of view, Purficott did not want her ability to create the floating city to be known to others, because the consequences would be almost unpredictable and bad.
She has not forgotten why Laputa, the city in the sky, fell in the cartoon she watched. Once she really lifts a city into the sky, what will happen to the people in the sky and the people on the earth? Domination and oppression become inevitable.
By then war and destruction will be inevitable, and this undoubtedly deviates from her original intention.
After all, even if Perficott really wants to build a floating city, the purpose is to allow human beings to be free from the constraints of the harsh environment on the ground in the final cold winter.
However, limited by technical conditions and productivity, the floating city must only be a special treatment enjoyed by a few people.
Just like the shelter planned to be built in the north, it is destined to be unable to save the vast majority of people.
Under such circumstances, unless all humans on the ground are dead, the residents of the floating city will inevitably feel that they are superior, thus oppressing and dominating the humans on the ground.
It is much easier to attack the earth from the sky than to attack the sky from the earth.
Having a city in the sky and suppressing the people and cities on the ground is much simpler than what is depicted in "Gulliver's Travels".
Not to mention that Purficott has created a cross-era soldier like the Steam Knight and a thermobaric bomb, a weapon most suitable for destroying the earth from the sky.
It can be said that Purficott has laid out all the prerequisite technologies for the people in heaven to rule over the people on earth. The only thing that prevents this from happening is her own conscience and bottom line.
"Forget it, it's better not to think about this and do something that makes you happy!" Purficott gave up thinking about her question "What would happen if the floating city was really built?" and prepared to do Do something to make yourself happy.
She took the modified flying knight armor outside, then put on a very close-fitting hunting suit for herself, and then put on the flying suit under the horrified eyes of the guarding knights. Knight armor.
"My lord, what do you want to do?" Samantha rushed over immediately, took Purfict's hand as he was about to close the mask of the Flying Knight's armor, and asked her nervously.
However, Purficott easily got rid of Samantha. The power output of the Steam Knight Armor itself was enough to give Purficott far more power than a big knight.
She just smiled at Samantha and said, "Don't be nervous, I just want to try my new invention."
After saying that, she activated the buttons on the Flying Knight's armor. The strong air flow spurted out from the nozzle on the back of the flight pack, and the surging power turned into thrust, causing Perfection to be blown up almost immediately.
And this was exactly what she wanted, and then Purficott activated the flying stone. The anti-gravity field expanded to offset the weight of the Flying Knight's armor, allowing Purficott to fly.
