Nicholas certainly understands what Chris means. Indeed, few of these people have actually experienced combat. Even if they are asked to learn from now on, it is not an easy task. Fleet formation flying has always been the most important thing.

Rings, if one is not good, they may collide with each other and lead to tragedy. Chris is very confident because they have accumulated many years of practice and experience in this area - bullying others based on experience may seem a bit unbearable, but it is also a kind of

Way.

However, Master Nicholas apparently has a different view on this.

Unlike Chris, he had carefully studied the battleship drawings. Not to mention the complex etching of magic circles and magic techniques inside, the concepts contained in them alone made Master Nicholas feel frightened.

Although the Magic Battleships of the Magic Empire are also Magic Battleships, they are first and foremost a ship. In the Magic Empire, building a Magic Battleship is basically the same as building a ship. It is just different from ordinary ships.

They will leave a place inside for etching gems and magic circles so that the magic warship can fly into the sky.

However, they are both magic battleships. The magic battleships built in Academy City are completely different from the magic battleships built by the Sorcerer Empire. They are fundamentally different things.

The magic warships of the Magic Empire basically rely on etching magic circles, which means that a magic circle can have the effect of one or several magics. The magic circle needs magic crystals to provide energy, so in this way, each magic circle

The magic circles and crystals required on the magic battleship are not a small number. Because overlapping magic circles is a very advanced skill, and the higher the level of magic circles, the more difficult it is to overlap at present. Just take power

For example, the magic warships of the Magic Empire need to float first, and the floating magic circle itself needs a huge magic crystal to replenish energy. This is a magic circle. And then it needs to drive forward.

With the assistance of the wind elemental array, a magic warship is equipped with up to six wind elemental arrays. If it is moving at full speed, then all six wind elemental arrays are activated, and if it is cruising speed, it only needs

Just turn on two or three. In this way, there are six more magic circles, and six more magic crystals need to be consumed - these are not renewable energy sources. When the magic power in the magic crystals is used up, it is really over. And

Magic crystals are much rarer than coal. Although the Sorcerer Empire has been digging everywhere over the years, the reserves of magic crystals are still limited. It is conceivable that even if you save on flying, you can fly more than ten or twenty times a year.

, it is almost completely consumed.

This is just the power part of a ship, plus the magic cannon also powered by magic crystals, and the magic barrier that protects the crew from harm at high altitudes. An ordinary magic warship consumes as much as one year.

The number of magic crystals really made him unable to bear to look at them...

This is also the reason why regular mages and high-level mages are needed on the magic warships of the Sorcerer Empire, because they can use their own spellcasting ability to make up for the shortcomings in this area. If the defensive barrier is not enough, they can cast their own defensive spells, but the firepower is not enough.

, they can cast meteor bursts or other spells to increase their firepower. Therefore, the Magic Empire has very strict requirements for members of the Magic Battleship.

However, these magic battleships being built in Academy City are completely different. Although they also use the power of magic, what they etched on the battleships is not the activation circle that requires magic crystals, but the activation circle. The two

The difference is that activating the magic circle requires magic crystal as a medium, and then it can be automatically activated and used. However, activating the magic circle requires continuous investment of magic power to produce effects. Once the magic power is interrupted, the stimulating magic circle will be ineffective.

Of course, this kind of magic circle cannot be used in the Magic Empire. After all, no mage has endless magic power to activate a magic circle. Even if he does, it is a question of whether he has the patience.

But on Academy City's Magical Battleship, this is no problem at all.

Academy City's Magical Battleships are driven entirely by magic power—these Magical Battleships all have three magic reactors, one large, two small, and three. Their composition is exactly the magic engine that Zhan had provided to the Magical Empire before.

The upgraded version can be condensed to form a channel in the elemental plane by consuming the lowest elemental crystal, and then continuously supply magic power. Of course, the magic power intensity that this magic reactor can supply is itself limited, so each magic warship

Only three magic reactors are needed to supply magic power.

But the problem is that these three reactors combined are no more than the size of a room, and they are located at the core of the magic battleship, which also avoids the problem of them being harmed by the outside world. And these magic reactors are designed through a special design.

The energy pipelines transmit magic power to various parts of the battleship, stimulating those magic arrays and causing them to produce effects.

In Nicholas's view, this design is much better than that of the Magic Empire. First of all, in terms of consumption, these activation circles do not require magic crystals, only the magic reactors as the power system. And even the magic power of these magic reactors

The crystal is only used as a channel to connect the elemental planes, rather than actually releasing magic power. Therefore, the consumption of magic power is much less than that of activating the crystal in the center of the magic circle. If anything, the consumption is only one percent - and

In this way, it is certain that these magic crystals can be used for a longer period of time.

As for the stimulating magic circle, it is also very simple and convenient. The stimulating magic circle needs to be supplied with magic power to work. If there is no magic power, it will lose its effect. Therefore, you only need to make a device to isolate the magic power and let the magic power flow when necessary.

Isolate magic when it is not needed. This is why only a few people on Zhan's battleships can complete such a large amount of work - if the battleships of the Sorcerous Empire are replaced, all the magic circles will have to be activated, which will be really difficult.

It's like a chicken flying like a dog.

If I have to say it, the only flaw of this kind of magic reactor is that the energy supplied by the energy reactor has an upper limit and cannot be increased. For example, a magic reactor can supply 1000 magic power, and this is its upper limit. All magic

The common feature of formations is that the more magic power they have, the more powerful they are. If Academy City's magic warships only have three reactors that can react with a combined 3,000 magic power, then their combat effectiveness will not exceed the strength of 3,000 magic power. And if the magic battleship

The Magic Empire has a magic crystal with a unit of 100,000 magic power, so in terms of the strength of the artillery fire and the strength of the shield, it is definitely stronger than the Magic Empire...

But the problem is... Where do you get the magic crystal with 100,000 magic powers? If there is such a thing, it is also stuffed on the most important battleship, so it is impossible for everyone to have one.

But in Academy City—it is indeed possible for everyone to have one.

This is hardware, as for software... Nicholas shook his head, and then he looked out the window. Under the streetlight not far from the window, he could see a group of people lining up, running in circles, shouting slogans. This is the academy. It is a compulsory course for all students in the city. Every morning before class and before get out of class in the afternoon, they have to run such a long-distance race, running around half of Academy City, and can only be disbanded after reaching the finish line.

I have to say that this kind of cruel training was really a torture for these students at the beginning. They are all mages, and most of them have done manual labor as the lowest-level apprentices. But the amount of labor

There is definitely no way to compare with farmers working in the fields and formally trained soldiers. At the beginning, many people cried for their fathers and mothers, and suffered "heavy casualties". But later on, they became more and more impressive.

But I don’t know why, although what Chris said was plausible, Nicholas was very worried. Because since arriving in Academy City, what he saw was that Zhan’s series of actions were carefully considered and linked together. As for these

The mage is not a soldier at all and has not received military training. He does not believe that Zhan has not thought of it, and Nicholas is certain that Zhan definitely has a way to solve this problem.

Sure enough, the next day, Nicholas's guess was confirmed.

"Listen up, you idiots!"

The girl standing on the high platform waved the spear in her hand with great air, looking at the students below with an excited expression.

"From today on, I will be responsible for teaching you how to conduct fleet operations! You all put your ears on for me! If any idiot dares not to listen to me, then he will be hung on the city wall in public!"

After saying this, the girl swung the spear heavily and hit the ground hard. The loud sound made even Chris and Nicholas couldn't help but shake.
