Chapter 1415 Goblin Airship!

"My minister Xu Jing sees His Majesty."

"Get up."

The goblin dean in front of him has been ruthless in the past few quarters. The research results he has come up with one after another have allowed his project team to win the commission award of research funds for several consecutive quarters.

Maintaining such high efficiency, the research project of this 'Goblin Airship' is progressing faster than Luo Ji expected. Sure enough, if you want to improve the efficiency of the people under your command, you have to give them a little stimulation.

Considering that in recent years, more and more large-scale equipment has appeared in the R&D projects of the Academy of Science and Technology, so, similar to the Ordnance Research Department, Luo Ji specially ordered someone to set up a research institute with enough space for them in the suburbs.

Walking into the suburban research institute of the Academy of Science and Technology, Luo Ji glanced from a distance and already locked onto the airship in the center of the courtyard!

"So, this is the finished product? Is it finished?"

At this moment, Luo Ji's voice contained a bit of unexpected surprise.

The previous report sent by the Academy of Science and Technology only said that the research and development project of the 'Goblin Airship' had made new progress, but it did not tell him this.

In this regard, Xu Jing, who was leading the way, puffed out his chest a little proudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, just three days ago, this airship just completed its first stable test flight!"

That being the case, Luo Ji definitely had to take a seat on this airship.

Just in case, each of them had their parachutes on their backs, and at the same time, a druid was specially assigned to take care of Luo Ji's safety at any time.

Unlike the relatively large airbags of the hull, the pods below are very petite.

Walking into the pod, the relatively limited interior space made it difficult for Luo Ji to have high expectations for the number of people this airship could carry.

"Xu Jing, how many people can this airship carry at most?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, excluding ten crew members, taking the human race as a unit, it should be able to carry forty to fifty people at most."

The number of people carrying this is really low.

In the early days, Luo Ji must have thought about using this goblin airship to transport troops, or even get an airborne troop out. By then, he would be a genius.

After all, at present, the main air force of his Ten Thousand Realms Civilization, whether it is the driver of the eagle, the rider of the giant eagle, or the rider of the pterosaur, these three troops basically have no ability to fight on land.

Griffin Knights are fine, but the number is too small, so the value of air vehicles and airborne troops is unquestionable.

Once Luo Ji is successfully formed, it means that he has the ability to penetrate directly behind the enemy's rear, destroy the opponent, and occupy the enemy's important stronghold.

In this way, Luo Ji made up his mind.

With a little calculation, it is assumed that this airship can transport 40 soldiers.

If he wants to get an airborne force of 400 people out, he needs ten goblin airships.

Now the question is, according to the scale of the war in this era, if you want to airborne and occupy the enemy's fortress, how can four hundred people be enough? At least 4,000 people, right?

This would require a hundred airships...

"Xu Jing, what is the cost of this airship?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the cost of such an airship is about 3.2 million. By the way, Your Majesty, the airship may be a little bumpy when it takes off. Please sit in your seat first, and then fasten your seat belt. ."

Following Xu Jing's words, Luo Ji continued to ponder while wearing his seat belt...

"To build ten airships, the cost alone will cost more than 30 million, and the hundred..."

Well, this is already a number that is enough to make one's stomach hurt, and he has not considered the manufacturing cycle of the goblin airship, which is definitely not fast.

In addition, like this kind of vehicle, like warships, the fuel consumption and regular maintenance costs are the most terrible places.

At the same time, I have to mention that the money in the current era of Wanjie Civilization is far more valuable than the money in modern society.

After all, they haven't experienced inflation, and prices haven't skyrocketed.

To give a simple example, an ordinary citizen, with a monthly income of 2,000 yuan per month, can make his life quite nourishing.

It is enough to see that the cost of this goblin airship is definitely not low.

"Xu Jing, can't this airship be made bigger? For example, it can carry one or two hundred people."

"Yes, yes, but Your Majesty, in that case, the manufacturing cost will double up."

"..."

Think about it too...

While talking, their first goblin airship of Myriad World Civilization slowly lifted off. The turbulence caused by this period even brought Luo Ji's idea of ​​forming an 'airborne force' out of his mind. out.

Considering the cost-effectiveness, this goblin airship should be temporarily incorporated into the air bombing force, and along the way, it can also help transport some emergency supplies from the air. From this point of view, the value is still great.

As for the 'airborne troops', he has to think about it again.

During this period, with the official launch of the goblin airship, after reaching a certain height, the entire airship finally stabilized.

Luo Ji, who unbuckled his seat belt and got up from his seat, began to walk to the edge, enjoying the scenery in the sky.

I have to say, this kind of feeling is quite good. It’s different from riding on Ysera. It’s a completely different feeling. Even Luo Yunxi, who is basically not interested in anything, can’t help but watch it a few more times. Eyes, not to mention Ike and Huche.

"Xu Jing, what is the current maximum speed of this goblin airship?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, under the condition of full load, excluding the influence of airflow factors, the slowest flight speed can be maintained at the level of 30 kilometers per hour, and if the wind is favorable, the speed can be even faster!"

Hearing this, Luo Ji's eyes flashed a glimpse of clarity. Generally speaking, the speed of transportation is basically the same as that of a transport vehicle.

But don't forget, this goblin airship has a huge advantage over the transport vehicle, that is, it is an air transport unit, in other words, it can ignore the terrain and walk in a straight line!

Therefore, even if the speed is half a kilogram per hour, the actual transportation efficiency of the goblin airship is at least two to three times faster than that of the transport vehicle.

It's definitely a pretty good choice to have it transport some emergency supplies.

The goblin pilots on the airship piloted the airship skillfully and flew them around the periphery of Jingjing City. Luo Ji was satisfied with the stability and control they showed during this time.

After flying back to the research institute in the suburbs and landing, Luo Ji said directly...

"This goblin airship, first build ten, and I will let the Ministry of Finance allocate the manufacturing funds."
