"That's great, Brother Ars. What is this?　It looks like you're making something pretty big."

"Oh, Kyle. You've come to the right place. What do you say we take a ride?　It's a new flying boat that Gran and I built."

"Wow, this is a flying boat. It seems to be very different from the airships we've seen before. The shape is also somewhat different.

"Well, yeah. But it's not just the shape that's changed. But it's not just the shape that's changed, it's the aeronautical capability.

　It was some time after I had started working on airships.

　Kyle came to check on me and Gran.

　Kyle was amazed at the new airship that was being built.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What Kyle saw was not an airship at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was an oval-shaped airship with a cloth fuselage that was inflated with air from a flame to fly through the air.

　The shape of the airship has changed drastically, and I think it can be called an airplane.

　First of all, the overall silhouette was very different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fuselage was made cylindrical and wings were attached to both sides.

　The propeller is mounted in the middle of the protruding wing section.

　Since the wings are on both sides of the fuselage, there are two propellers for one airplane.

　Therefore, in silhouette alone, the plane was completely a propeller-driven plane.

　The reason for this shape is that I had knowledge from my previous life.

　It is significant that this form was studied for a long time in order to overcome the biggest enemy of flying, which is air resistance.

　Since it is made from a material called "floating stone", it is easy to float, but it was best to make it similar in shape in order for it to move forward.

　Basically, because of the nature of the floating stones, they will float on their own even if left alone.

　Therefore, I added a function to adjust the altitude.

　It is partially based on the technology of magical weapons.

　The magic power is sent to the core of the spirit stone, and a rock appears as a weight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By changing the weight of the plane with the weight of the rock, we added a function to adjust the altitude pseudo-altitude.

　Incidentally, there is a drawback that the plane may float up by itself unless it is tied to the ground with a rope or something, but that's about all right.

　The propulsive force is also based on the technology of the magic weapon.

　By modifying the remote-controlled magic circle that moves the rock giant at will, we succeeded in inducing a rotational motion that turns the propeller.

　The parts of the hardened bricks, which appeared by putting magic power into the core of the spirit stone, rotate by the driver's will, which in turn turns the propellers on the wings.

　This propeller acts on the air to generate the force to move forward.

　Compared to the primitive airships of the past, which simply rode the air currents or were pulled by a few weather birds attached to a string, this is a major technological change.

　This has also made a big difference in speed and operating distance.

　Whereas conventional aircraft could only travel slowly in the sky, this plane can travel much faster.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, because it uses a floating rock that floats in the air, it is able to allocate all of its magical power to propulsion.

　The distance that can be traveled in a day has also increased dramatically.

"Wow. That's amazing. How many people can it carry?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"With this magic airship we are building now, if we pack it up, it can hold about 200 people, right?　Well, the seats will be too tight, so it will be hard to ride for a long time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Still, even if we cut the number of passengers in half, we can still accommodate 100 people. That's much better than the number of passengers on the previous airship. But why don't you build a bigger one?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"For now, it is still important to improve this magic airship. The shape of the fuselage and the wings need to be improved, as well as the propeller. And even the placement of the chairs inside the cabin needs to be examined.

"Mmm-hmm. But it's really interesting. I think this rotating mechanism is especially interesting. It seems to have a wide range of applications. It could be used not only for airships, but for other things as well."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right. If it works, we'll be able to do it on the ground and on the water."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ground and water?　Oh, right. It could also be used for trains and regular boats."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right. Especially for trains, we should aim for practical application as soon as possible. At any rate, the Valkyrie is pulling the train now, but once the magic train is completed, it will be possible to travel day or night.

"Great. Okay, I'll help you with that, Brother Ars. Where is the turning mechanism?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure Gran has some built. This way."

　I guess Kyle is a boy after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The moment he saw the vehicle system, his eyes lit up and he offered to develop the train himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I began to build the train, I realized that building a vehicle is a very deep process.

　In the case of a magic airship, the angle of the wings and the structure of the propeller can change its performance drastically.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, we completed the first prototype, but even after the completion of the first prototype, we found some areas that we wanted to improve further.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the train and ship, which he had planned to build next, were put on the back burner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Kyle could help me with that, I would be very grateful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With Kyle's brain, the simulation of the structural calculations would be completed in no time at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, with Kyle's help, the land, sea, and air vehicles in Vulcania have evolved like dinosaurs.
