Inuit's words reminded Liszt that cross sails and vertical sails are all types of sails. A large ship can have two or three masts. Why can't you hang horizontal sails and vertical sails at the same time?

When the wind is blowing, the cross-sail is raised and the whistling is rushing; when the wind is against the wind, the vertical sail is raised, and the snake-shaped maneuver.

This basically means that the sailboat can move freely at sea at any time, which will greatly shorten the sailing time. Moreover, Liszt seems to have some impressions. In the era of the great voyage of the earth, there are many sailboats, that is, the longitudinal sails of the triangle at the stern of the bow and the cross-sails in the middle.

It was after listening to Inuit's suggestion that Liszt immediately ordered the shipyard's shipbuilders to work **** hybrid sailing.

However, for Inuit's suggestion to fix the sail with wood, Liszt did not care much because it was denied by several old boatmen and considered unrealistic.

"Now it seems that I have to talk to this creative magician, get the affirmation of the smoke mission, the power of the fate, this person should be a talented person."

The power of destiny represented by the smoke mission is very mysterious. So far, Liszt has not figured out the root cause.

But there is no denying that people who can be selected by the smoke mission will always have some unusual specialities. In plain words, these people are roughly equivalent to the "children of fate", surrounded by "the aura of the protagonist"... Of course, their aura is stronger than Liszt's "plug-in".

Emily’s vindictive talents are different. Lucy and Ruth’s magical talents are outstanding. Parisi is involved in the light magic swordsman... A carved is a rare sea monster in the world, and becomes a magician with the body of the Kraken.

Inuit's talent is still unclear.

Liszt needs serious attention.

Soon, Inuit Truth was taken over by the Cavaliers. He was not a regular magician. The magical cloak seemed to have been improved by himself and changed into a tight suit: "His Royal Highness, are you looking for me?"

"Inuit, do you like sailing?" Liszt gestured to the other side and asked casually.

"Yes, Your Highness, I grew up on the beach, and I have longed for the blue sea."

About Inuit's information, already presented at Liszt's hand, is directly transferred from the Magic Guild - each magician will provide detailed identity information when he joins the club, and finally issue an identity card similar to an ID card. A black horse island leader has a hand.

Inuit is a sapphire, but a magician from the outer island. He followed his teacher to the island of Dark Horse.

His teacher is just an ordinary magician. He is currently studying the natural magic with the great magician Lars Truth, which is the Druid farming and deformation. He himself does not like to study the magical content of the theoretical nature, but is passionate about the maritime industry.

Liszt knocked on the table and asked, "What other inspirations do you have for the improvement of the sailboat?"

Inuit slightly excitedly replied: "His Highness, I have been studying sailing for a long time, there are a lot of designs to play. I used to pass the shipyard of the dock, but they are too rigid, guarding the rigid shipbuilding technology. Don't let go, don't understand my design!"

"Then tell me now."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As soon as he opened his voice, Inuit couldn't stop and put all his design on the sailboat out. These designs are all from sails, masts, slings to hull structures. Many of the content is really whimsical, and even Liszt feels a bit difficult to understand.

There are also some designs that, in Liszt’s view, are purely nonsense.

For example, Inuit feels that the work of collecting sails is very busy and heavy, and the mast is designed to be foldable, so that the storm can directly put the mast down on both sides, and can also be used as a support rod for the hull to keep the vessel. Stability in the sea, never sinking.

This idea is very interesting in its strictness. However, the mast itself is the most important part of the sailboat. It is necessary to select the high-quality iron wood as the mast of the keel, which makes the mast not easy to break.

Once the collapsible mast encounters a storm, I am afraid that the first to break is the mast itself. Moreover, the sail is very heavy. Once the mast is folded, it is definitely more tiring than lifting the sail. What's more, how to ensure the stability of the hull when the mast is raised and folded is also a huge trouble.

In short, not reliable.

Most of Inuit's designs are similar and unreliable.

But Liszt found an interesting content from his creative design—Inuit actually proposed the idea of ​​using a huge rotating wheel to drive the ship forward.

This is simply the design of the "ship"!

On the earth, the sailing age of sailing ships was replaced by steamships and gradually became a sailing competition.

"Have you ever thought about the huge wheels that drive the ship forward, how much power is needed to turn it, and the manpower can't turn such a wheel?" Liszt asked with interest.

Inuit seems to have a draft: "His Highness, although the human power can't push such a big wheel to turn, but the power of magic can be, you can use the magic array to push the wheel to turn."

"Use magic array to drive?" This is a good solution, but Liszt is not satisfied. "The magic array is indeed widely used. It is not impossible to push the wheels to turn. But the manufacturing and consumption of the magic array are all The huge cost is not suitable for use on ships."

This idea of ​​combining magic with technology has long been thought of. However, the current moment of the shrinking of the magic net, the magic array is difficult to use the magic net to capture the magic, all need to consume the magic of the magic array material itself. To maintain such a magical array, the consumption is huge.

There is no such thing as a spiritual stone in the world to store magic items.

Even the little magic platform needs to change the magic rune running materials frequently. It takes a lot of money to communicate once, not to mention driving huge wheels.

"This..." Inuit suddenly picked up, as a magician, he is very aware of the value of magical materials, and his ideas are indeed very creative, so that he is arrogant. But according to his design, it is possible to buy several three-masted sailboats with just one magic array.

Coupled with the maintenance of the magic array of materials, I am afraid that such a ship will lose money when it trades.

The fool will be designed this way.

Looking at the blushing Inuit, Liszt did not show disappointment, instead he valued Inuit. Not only because of the involvement of the smoke mission, but also because of Inuit’s idea that it wants to develop technology, not afraid that the idea is difficult to achieve, and that there is no idea.

"Inuit, the power of magic is hard to apply to folks, but this does not mean that there is no power to replace magic. There is a power that I call it steam. You can delve into this direction... In addition, you are on the sailboat. Some ideas, I can't judge the value of it, but I can let you participate in the design of the new sailboat, you are willing?"

Inuit immediately replied: "Thanks to the approval of His Royal Highness, I am of course willing to participate in the design of the new sailboat!"

I personally designed the sailing ship to sail the sea, so that Inuit could not ask for it, but he still had doubts in his heart: "His Royal Highness, what does the power of steam mean?"

"When you go back and burn a pot of boiling water, you will understand the power of steam." Liszt made a mystery.

In fact, he did not know much about the steam engine, the big killer that set off the industrial revolution. He only knew that he was using coal, oil and other raw materials to burn, and then pushed the piston to do work and drive the machinery.

"Boil the water, I will go back and boil water!"

Inuit rushed back.

Looking at his back, Liszt shook his head, and the steam engine couldn't set off the industrial revolution in this world. The reason is very simple. So far, I have never heard of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. Without these fuels, the burning of wood alone would not provide much power.

The lack of metal will also seriously restrict the manufacture of steam engines.

Of course, the steam engine is not without development potential, the reason is also very simple - Liszt has a fire dragon!

When the small fire dragon grows up, the Fire Dragon Super Magic can be released at will, and at that time, the magical power of the fire dragon is used as fuel.

Then go to the legendary mainland to grab a few iron mines.

Steam ship, it is really possible to get it out!
