54 Three Chicken in Soup

"For the engine, here." Yili walked to one of the largest square wooden boxes, patted, and introduced to Qilin.

"The 'Backfire' second engine produced by the machine-made workshop, Cadillac, is equipped with twelve star cylinders, with an average output power of up to 2,400. It uses a reverse drainage device. The engine starts at no more than five seconds. The cooling is completely air-cooled, and the high-acceleration running time during the battle can reach 90 minutes. As for other aspects of performance, it is completely above ordinary engines. It is just because the cost is too high, so it cannot be mass-produced. As a result, only a dozen units were produced for testing by the armies of various countries. It is not easy to find a new one here."

While Yili introduced it, Kirin couldn't wait to open the box cover and saw that a corner of a metal component was exposed in the filling full of silk thread. The surface of the component was cast iron-like dark black, exuding an inorganic luster. For air riding, which had strict requirements on material selection, the engine and cannon were the few components that used metal structures. Among them, the engine was an important component that provided air riding for propulsion, and the structure was quite precise. Only a large amount of metal materials could ensure that high power output was borne in such a precise structure. However, based on the characteristics of airflow, many biological materials were used in the engine structure.

Qilin held his breath and reached out to touch a corner of the engine. What came back was the unique cold touch of metal. His heart was so excited that it was pounding, and Yili's worry sounded.

"To be honest, I'm a little worried. It is said that because of the actual output of this kind of engine, the slightly weaker body will often be pulled apart when the high acceleration is high. In fact, this engine was discontinued because of this. I said, Is it really okay to use Wolf Flame's body once, and then use such a powerful engine?"

"Of course there is no problem!" Qilin replied on the spot. When it comes to the situation of Wolf Flame, no one knows better than him. "Wolf Flame did fall from the sky, but due to the floating mechanism, the body itself did not suffer much impact when it crashed. I carefully checked the skeleton of Wolf Flame. Except for the broken beam, everything else was intact. After installing the engine, it was a brand new air rider."

As he said this, Qilin couldn't wait to move the engine out, but Yili stopped him.

"Wait, don't you look at the cannon first?"

"Machine Cannon? Yes, there are also machine cannons..." Qilin showed the expression he had just remembered, looked at the engine reluctantly, then moved his footsteps, followed Yili to the next to another pile of boxes.

There are six wooden boxes here, four long wooden boxes on top, and two rectangular wooden boxes below. Each wooden box seems to be very large and bandaged extremely firmly.

"This is the machine cannon you want, a total of four." Yili pointed to the four boxes above and introduced to Qilin. "The 25-caliber standard cannon produced by the Wuzao Workshop, with a basic range of 500 meters and a rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute. It is a custom product of the LaVillis Air Force. Because it has been mass-produced, it is not difficult to get it. In fact, the Gren Chamber of Commerce and the Renault Workshop have had several transactions in the past. I personally ordered four cannons with Rex, but it did not go through the black market channel, so I saved a lot of budgets."

Yili seemed quite proud of saving budget, but Qilin's attention had long been attracted by the four boxes. The box containing the cannon was wrapped in waterproof canvas outside, and the inside was nailed tightly, so there was a crowbar next to the wooden box. However, someone had long lost the patience. He pulled off the canvas a few times and pulled the lid of the wooden box directly with his hands. With a squeaking and friction sound that made people's teeth sounded, a cannon wrapped in oil cloth appeared in front of Qilin.

Looking at the sharp teeth of the wolf flame in front of him, bursts of ecstasy slapped the Qilin's nerves like raging waves. Qilin only felt the blood and energy floating. He took a few deep breaths to stabilize his mind. Then he carefully moved the cannon out of the box and looked carefully in his hand. He saw that the cannon was about one meter long from beginning to end. Two-thirds of the front part was a slender barrel, and one-third of the back part was a thick cannon body. The dark cannon was inlaid with a longan-eye conduction crystal, and the inside of the cannon was a sharp spiral rifle.

Qilin was holding a machine cannon, and the majestic appearance of the Flame Giant shooting around with a volcano cannon appeared in his mind. He suddenly felt a lot of passion in his heart. He immediately sank his waist and lowered his shoulders, imitating the classic shape of the Flame Giant, and gestured to the surroundings.

"Uh, that, there's no bullet loading in it..." Yili called out the smug person in a confused voice, and then pointed to the two boxes below. "Anyway, open it first, let's take a look?"

"Oh...oh." Qilin, who came to his senses, put the cannon back into the wooden box with shame, then moved the four cannons to the ground, and then opened the two boxes below.

"Is this... bone bullet?" Qilin was stunned when he looked at the neatly zipped bone bullets in the box. "How many shots are there?"

"The two-piece box has a total of 2,400 rounds, all of which are first-class bone bullets, which are considered as gifts for the machine cannon." Yili introduced with some smugness.

It should be noted here that since the cannon of the air riding is also powered by airflow energy, the bullets it uses must also be biological materials. Generally speaking, the bullets used by the cannon can be divided into three categories, namely wooden bullets, composite bullets and bone bullets.

As the name suggests, the so-called wooden bullet is a bullet made of hardwood. Although it has the characteristics of low cost, it is currently a semi-eliminated technology due to its generally low lethality.

As for the composite bullet, it is a new type of bullet improved on the basis of wooden bullets. Simply put, it is to add a metal bullet to the front end of the hardwood to greatly increase the penetration force of the bullet to armor. Although the penetration force of the composite bullet is higher than that of wooden bullets, on the other hand, the increase of the metal bullet hinders the conduction of airflow energy, making the initial velocity of the composite bullet not as good as that of wooden bullets, and the effective range is half shorter than that of wooden bullets. However, based on its high lethality characteristics, wooden bullets were eliminated with an overwhelming advantage, becoming the most widely used bullet at present.

Compared with composite bullets, bone bullets are not an advanced technology, but they are the most advanced ones among commonly used bullets. The material of bone bullets is usually the teeth of beasts or monsters. The beast teeth not only have the hardness of metal bullets, but also will not hinder the conduction of airflow at all. Therefore, both destructive power and range are all placed on composite bullets. Although bone bullets have the above advantages, they have the only characteristic that is unfavorable to promotion - the scarcity of its material sources directly determines the high cost of bone bullets. Usually in the air force of various countries, only ace pilots are allowed to use expensive bone bullets.

This time, Yili blackmailed a total of 2,000 first-level bones from Renault's workshop, no wonder she was so proud. On the other hand, it can also be seen that this Grain Young Dong, who is not usually showing off all his horror talents in transaction negotiations.

"Okay, okay..." The hungry person looked very excited when he saw the table of delicacies in front of him.

Seeing his appearance, Yili couldn't help but worry and reminded him. "That, maybe I don't need to remind me, but only the machine cannon can't shoot bullets?"

"Huh?" Qilin, who was about to load the bullet, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly remembered some basic common sense of Kongqi.

In fact, the engines and cannons of the air riding machine cannot be used alone. They must be used in conjunction with the floating mechanism to achieve their original performance.

To illustrate, if the engine is regarded as the foot of an air rider and the sharp teeth of an air rider, the floating mechanism is the heart of an air rider, and it is also the power source of the cannon and the engine. The principle of the air rider operation is that the energy in the air flow stone is first released by the air flow mechanism, and the released air flow energy is along the smooth circuit composed of biological materials to produce an air flow cycle surrounding the air rider's body. This process is equivalent to the human body's heart pressing blood to various organs of the body. In order to distinguish it from the wide-area air flow cycles spread throughout the world in the atmosphere, pilots usually call the tiny cycles generated by the air flow mechanism "air control circles".

The floating mechanism unfolds the "air control circle", and the "air control circle" acts on the air rider. On the one hand, the air control circle acts with the air currents scattered in the atmosphere to generate the buoyancy of the body. On the other hand, the air flow energy is continuously provided to the engine and the cannon through the circuit of the body itself. In other words, if there is no air flow energy provided by the air control circle, the cannon and the engine are just useless iron blocks.

"Uh..." Kirin, who remembered this fact, embarrassingly put down the bullet in his hand. "Of course I know this...this thing, I just want to try it first."

"Well, I think so, after all, even an outsider, knows this level of common sense." Yili nodded seriously, but his eyes were full of smiles.

………………………………………

After listening to Yili's introduction to the parts, Qilin was excitedly looking through a thick stack of instructions, while Gren Shaodong took the opportunity to look at the place where Qilin was repairing the work. Then, Yili's attention was quickly attracted by the giant lizards hanging on the masts.

"...This is the Corodod dragon you brought back from the volcano? From this distance, it feels really fierce. No wonder the army can't handle it..."

Looking up at the giant lizard, Yili's expression was quite subtle, unable to say whether it was regret or sadness. It seemed that the Corodod dragon in front of him had aroused some memory of him. But not long after, the Gren Shaodong restored his original cheerful expression and asked the Qilin who was checking the engine there: "Speaking of it, I heard that this was something you snatched from the Fire Giant, is it true?"

"Think...it's true..." As soon as Qilin thought of the overly heroic senior brother, he felt depressed.

"Then, where is our Majesty? Have you returned to the palace?" Yili turned to Xiude.

"That guy is still outside..." Qilin pointed weakly at the Duke's Mansion towards the river bank. "The uncle opened the place for everyone to visit, and the guy set up a podium and went up to slap around every day. There were three shows in the morning and four shows in the afternoon. There were endless people coming to listen to it, and sometimes there were nightclubs at night... In my opinion, that guy should not be a king, so he might as well switch to the career and become a travel poet. Maybe he could do something beneficial to society."

Qilin denied Xiude's qualifications as a monarch without hesitation. Although his words may not be unreasonable, it is not interesting to listen to others belittle his monarch from the standpoint of the people of the Kingdom of LaVilles, so Yili felt that he might have to refute it.

"Hey, you're not that bad..."

"That's right!"

Just as the son of the businessman smiled bitterly and made unnecessary efforts, a voice inserted in, and the two of them turned toward the direction where the sound came.

"That's right! Qilin, you are really my confidant! Actually, I don't want to be this king anymore. The poet of the lingyou is the most romantic profession in the world!" Facing the eyes of the two, the owner of the voice did not hide his ambition at all. "Think about it, compared to the palace with high walls and deep courtyards, the world outside is so vast! Think about it, compared to being stuck in the office to process piles of documents, it is so refreshing to go to the tavern to sing! No matter how many books you read, it is not as good as your own experience of adventure! Compared to the group of aunts and maids in the palace, there are countless beauties waiting for my summons in the world outside!"

It seems that I have not recovered from the excitement of storytelling, someone's voice is full of passion, but the content is quite inexplicable.

“…In contrast, is there a little bit of appeal in the life of the palace? Isn’t it?”

"Well, even if you ask me for advice..." Qilin looked at the Xianwang who came to him with some confusion, and as for Yili standing next to him, he looked up at the sky with a bite of his gallbladder expression. Although the son of the merchant didn't say anything, his face clearly showed a question, "Is there really no problem in the future of this country?"

"Anyway, I have decided! I want to be the first bard to climb into the sky and ride on the back of a dragon!"

Xiude announced with confidence, but the two listeners responded to his declaration in a cold manner.

"That..." Yili stretched out her index finger and drew a circle on her head, worriedly saying, "Is it okay?"

"Well, I'm afraid there's no help..." Qilin shook his head regretfully, and then quickly decided on the countermeasures. "Don't worry about him, let's continue to count the parts. How many boxes are there?"

"Hey! I am also the most prestigious storyteller in the capital. Will you die if you support me?" Xiu De protested dissatisfiedly.

"You just keep playing tricks. Anyway, I'll tell you, yesterday I saw the uncle coming out of the warehouse in the backyard." Qilin didn't shake him.

"...What did the teacher go to the warehouse for nothing?" Xiude couldn't help but become alert.

"At that time, I saw an iron ruler in my hand, probably so long..." Qilin reached out and gestured in the air. "Uncle said that it was a ruler given by the former king, specifically used to punish some naughty villains who disobeyed discipline. The uncle asked me to tell you, if you dare to pretend to be crazy and buy stupid in front of the people and ruin the reputation of the Isere and the LaVillis family, he would let you know... Well, it feels like not to sit on the bench for three months, it seems that that's what it said."

"Three...three months?" Xiu De showed a violent and shaky look, obviously he had an unforgettable experience before.

"Uh..." Xiu De raised his head in panic and looked around, then his eyes stopped on the two giant lizards flying high. He seemed to be planning to do something to relieve the duke's anger, so he suggested: "I said, we can almost take down the two ends above, right? It's not a good idea to hang it like this. I'd better cover them on Wolf Flame as soon as possible?"

"I haven't done it yet, so I can't use it." Qilin replied depressedly. "If it could be used, I'd have taken them off long ago. Do you still need to say it?"

"But...but, is it okay to hang like this?" Xiu De suggested unwillingly. "The weather in summer is changing. If it suddenly rains heavily, the waiting these days will be in vain?"

"Go to you, that's what happens... Huh?" Qilin suddenly raised his head in confusion.

Because just as Xiu De was speaking, he suddenly felt something cold dripping on his nose.

At first, Qilin thought it was his illusion, but not long after, he found that the two people next to him also made the same moves as him.

A few seconds later, under the stare of the three people, a rare heavy rainfall in summer fell from the sky, and the violent rain quickly poured the three people into a chicken.

"You dead crow's mouth..." Luo Tangjiu Jia symbolically wiped his face and stared at Luo Tangjiu Yi with a vicious expression. "Is there anything I want to say?"

"No...it's not my business! I'm just talking casually!" Facing Luo Tangji's murderous gaze, Luo Tangji Yi's face was quite pale.
