Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 294 Flying Knight
After arranging all the matters at hand, Purficott finally had some time of his own.

But this so-called "me time" doesn't mean that she can relax or stop doing anything serious.

During this period of time, she just didn't have that many things to do, so she could spare some of her free time to complete some of her own things.

For example, the development of the Flying Sky Stone, which she had put on hold for several months, was related to the unlocking of the Jade Record, which was an extremely important thing for Purficott.

It's just that all the affairs in the north were piled on his face before, and Purficott had to deal with the various matters at hand first, so he could only temporarily postpone the development of the Flying Stone.

Now, the specific affairs of the Northern Territory are handled by a well-established system of civil officials and the pioneer knights she canonized. Several important scientific research projects have also been assigned to corresponding research groups.

All aspects of the situation could be described as steady progress, and only then could Purficott return his energy and attention to the matter of the Flying Stone.

The characteristics of the flying stone itself are still very clear. Once activated, it can form an anti-gravity field centered on it, allowing people or objects enveloped in the gravity field to lose gravity, and then float or even float under the action of external forces. Flying effect.

Based on this characteristic, there are actually many things that Perfecticot can build.

For example, if the flying stone is installed on the steam knight armor, and then a propeller is installed on the steam knight armor, it can transform from a knight walking on the ground into a flying knight and become a powerful aerial combat weapon.

After all, during World War II, aircraft, as a weapon of war, relied on air superiority to a greater extent to attack the ground.

In the history of war in the original world, it was not until after World War II that humans installed rockets on aircraft as another air attack weapon.

After all, in terms of combat effectiveness, what aircraft can withstand a heavily loaded iron can that rides directly on your fuselage and tears off its wings?
Or is there any aircraft that can survive in the sky and eat a 75mm high-explosive bomb? Or was shot by a 12.7mm heavy machine gun?
An important factor that restricts the air combat effectiveness of a flying unit is the bomb load. After all, the output of the aircraft engine is so large, and the fuselage itself is already heavy enough. Adding fuel and pilots, there is only so much ammunition left to load.

But flying knights are relatively different, because they have flying stones.

Therefore, as long as Purficott can build a suitable engine, the combat effectiveness of the Flying Knight will be able to blast those famous World War II aircraft even in World War II.

Coupled with the limitations of the small space inside the aircraft fuselage, there is a limit to how much ammunition an aircraft can carry.

As for the battle between aircraft, generally speaking, only machine guns or cannons can be used.

You must know that Purficott has completed the design and manufacturing of portable recoilless rifles, and has also created a series of powerful automatic weapons such as rapid-fire cannons. Coupled with the defense power of the Steam Knight itself, once the Flying Knight is manufactured, its The power is definitely not less than that of the propeller aircraft during World War II.

This special prop that can deploy an anti-gravity field is enough to make a half-ton Steam Knight armor become as light as a feather. Even Purficott can lift it with one hand. You can imagine that equipped with this thing How much stuff can the Flying Knight carry?

And this has a very terrifying impact, that is, the flying knight does not need to consider the load.

As long as the anti-gravity field can be enveloped, then even a modern warship weighing tens of thousands of tons can be turned into a space battleship and fly directly. Therefore, for a flying knight, how much ammunition it can carry only depends on how much ammunition carrying space the designer can design for it, regardless of how heavy the ammunition is.

With this kind of design idea, Purficott could even build a flying Gundam if he wanted to.

Of course, the actual combat effectiveness of a large humanoid body like the Gundam is a matter of opinion. Purficott does not intend to waste so many resources to build such a decisive battle weapon that has no use at all.

With the resources to build a Gundam, Purficott can build a team of Steam Knights.

So in the end, Purficott only installed the flying stone on a set of steam knight armor, and made some adjustments to the armor, adding a flying backpack with two 220-horsepower steam turbines. .

The Steam Knight Armor itself can only be equipped with one steam turbine, which is a low-power model with 120 horsepower. Although this is already a very exaggerated power output, it was made with the Philosopher's Stone regardless of the price and cost. Compared with a flight backpack with two 220-horsepower steam turbines, it is really far behind.

The flight backpack developed by Purficott is no less powerful than some World War II aircraft.

After all, the maximum take-off power of the famous Zero fighter during World War II was only 780 horsepower. The Flying Knight's flight backpack had 440 horsepower. Counting the Flying Knight's own 120 horsepower, this adds up to 560 horsepower, which is the same as World War II. Some of the early aircraft were no less impressive.

And the scary thing is that all of the 440 horsepower of the Flying Knight can be used for propulsion, and there is no need to consider the take-off weight.

This would be considered a ghost story even in the later era of jet aircraft, let alone in this era where there is nothing in the sky except airships?
There are indeed some magicians from various countries who can fly, but due to the influence of the magic environment, they can fly, but only a little.

Usually when traveling, you have to consider whether your magic power is enough to last, let alone use it for fighting.

So in every sense, the Flying Knight is truly invincible.

Of course, Purficott also had to consider the fuel issue of the flying knight. After all, the steam knight armor now uses steam engines, and they all burn coal. The battery life is also quite embarrassing.

Ground combat doesn't matter, as long as you add water and coal at any time. Anyway, the steam knight is a crushing force for the army of this era. A steam knight paired with a specialized logistics team will have no problems in terms of combat effectiveness.

But when fighting in the sky, this is an issue that must be considered.

You can't say that the Flying Knight needs to land, add water and coal for repairs after flying for a while, right? Although they are not expected to fight in the sky for a long time, they have to persist for a while anyway.

Although Purficott could increase the flying knight's endurance by enlarging the fuel tank, it still felt strange to her from any angle.
