The Monsoon Sparrow (Improved Thunderbolt) assault airship was a basic unit that had been used by the Radiant Scroll for decades. Its appearance and basic design were probably impossible to change.
This was a 60-ton light assault airship with a rather mature design concept. It was 46 meters long and 20 meters wide. When fully loaded, it could carry five to seven people. It had a connected hall, hangar, and cockpit, as well as two small cabins for the crew to rest and take turns.
Even Rorschach, who had decided to use the clues of Titan as a bargaining chip to copy and plagiarize the other party's technology, and the Game Church, who lacked everything, would probably find it difficult to obtain anything from such a simple and straightforward design.
The true technical difficulty in creating such an assault airship capable of cruising through a sea of lightning would be the special coating on the outer part of the airship that would absorb lightning, as well as the inner part of the airship's stable power and steering system that wouldn't be affected by strong magnetic and electrical forces from the outside … If Rorschach could directly copy these airships, then he might as well create an aircraft carrier himself.
But doing nothing was also impossible. As the airship traveled, no matter how sensitive the observers were, they would not be able to detect the changes in the airship's mass and size.
Nobody knew when the airship would gain or lose equipment. Sometimes, the airship's internal space would increase by a few centimeters, and sometimes it would decrease by a bit. Its appearance would also quietly change, but it would quietly change back to its original state.
Of course, the few magic armors in the hangar were also quietly changing. But every day when the other crew members were around, everything would return to its original state.
The three crew members probably didn't notice at all. Only Rorschach, who was always resting in his small cabin, knew that he seemed to have developed an interesting ability.
Due to its small size and the fact that this airship wasn't meant to be used for long-term missions, it wasn't comfortable to ride on. The two cabins couldn't satisfy the needs of four crew members … Perhaps contrary to what most people expected, the ones sleeping in the hall were two ladies.
In a sense, the two male passengers were not expected to have the so-called gentlemanly demeanor.
"… That's all for today. Give this design to the experts for research. Make sure it's absolutely reliable. Although they tacitly allowed us to copy it, if it falls into the hands of another party, the situation will be very awkward … "
"… I've already given you the geographical information so long ago. Have you finished constructing the virtual sand table yet? In a sense, geographical information is more valuable than the technology of the Radiance Scroll. We can still steal or buy the technology when we go out, but it's impossible to rely on other people's ships and information to explore. The Ratman's exploration experience is really rich. It's just that he doesn't seem to be in good health … "
Lying on the deck of the ship, which was too far away from comfort, Rorschach looked like he was just mumbling in his sleep, but he was actually communicating with the gods and exchanging information.
After entering this boundless no-man's land, even the communication between the believers and the gods became intermittent despite the gods' full attention.
After many attempts, Rorschach found that the "signal" was still relatively good at four or five in the morning and around seven in the afternoon. Naturally, he made the best use of the time to communicate.
In front of him was an exquisite geographical model. The mountains, hills, wastelands, and caves were all vivid and lifelike.
The model flickered with a silver light. When the wind blew, it flickered as if it were alive.
And when the wind was too strong, grains of iron sand would fly out of this exquisite geographical model. It turned out that the entire model was made of iron sand gathered together.
Rorschach closed his eyes and communicated with the gods while maintaining the model of the sand table.
This was both a way to organize and reconfirm information, as well as a way to train his abilities. Every grain of sand in the sand table was under his control.
The battlefield would forever be the best opportunity to train one's abilities. On that night when Rorschach had no control over his own life and death, he had learned a great deal.
In the past, he had spent far too much time and effort on forging and simulating large-scale steel products. But on that battlefield, the most useful thing was the temporary equipment he had created for other warriors.
"Large things have their strengths, and small things have their advantages."
The path of advancement for a combat job class was the opening up of one's own path of "evolution." Sometimes, a single idea or epiphany of a concept would bring about an earth-shattering change.
This was especially true for Rorschach's Forge Sage job class, which was a spellcasting job class. Progress on this path was a fundamental change. If you understood it, you understood it. If you didn't understand it, you would still not understand it even after others put the logic on your face.
Sometimes, if you couldn't figure out a single key point, you would be stuck until you died of old age. Sometimes, a single spark of thought would allow you to skip decades of difficulties.
In the sky above the geographical model, a gray-silver assault airship was moving forward. Although it was flying and gliding, it didn't move forward. In the eyes of a third person, it was as if it was one with the geographical model.
"Reconstruction, simulation, balancing, linking … This is my world of steel."
That's right. Although it looked like a toy, it did indeed have the embryonic form of a small world.
Perhaps nobody would have expected that the current Rorschach would be able to use these sand table worlds that were meticulously reconstructed from the real world to reach a higher level. This was a treasure that ordinary Legend rank mages would never be able to reach in their entire lives — a domain.
But even so, it still wasn't enough …
In the sand model, two miniature magical armors were fighting. Both sides were shooting at each other with live ammunition and energy weapons. One of the magical armors was black and could even transform into an iron eagle for a short period of time to bombard the enemy.
If the other passengers saw this, they would definitely recognize that the magical armors that could transform were Salia's seventh-generation magical armors, the "Dove of Peace". As for the other magical armors, although they were similar in many ways to Rorschach's seventh-generation magical armors, the "Hercules", they didn't have thick exoskeleton armor. They were much slimmer, but they were also much more agile.
"… As expected, the Radiant Scroll has modified both seventh-generation magical armors. The modifications are inferior. The air combat transformational magical armors have been stripped of their combat claws, impact armor, and all other close-combat accessories. Their transformation systems have also been locked, turning them into mindless, low-level turrets. The Hercules has also been stripped of all its close-combat energy weapons and installed with armor that is too thick and cumbersome, which is a drag on its mobility. "
With a light wave of his hand, two steel blades appeared on the arms of the Hercules. With a fierce leap, he slashed at the Dove of Peace, causing metal shavings to fly everywhere.
"After the modification, it can also exceed the limits of most sixth-generation magical armors. It's not wrong to say that it's a seventh-generation magical armors, but I'm afraid that its actual combat power can only be compared to the sixth-generation magical armors at most."
If the magical armors fell into the hands of others, the Radiant Scroll would not relax even if they were only using them.
But they would never have thought that not only had Rorschach sorted out the internal structure and design of the magical armors, he had even reverted the inferior parts of the magical armors back to their original state.
