Chapter 111: Refit The Airships
The Crews worked frantically to get the ships refit with the gear adjusted cannons, which were set on a weighted sled with rollers and blocks.
They had to be able to roll back to absorb recoil, then they would be pulled back into place with ropes, and the cranks turned to adjust their aim for the ship’s new position. They could adjust both vertically and horizontally, so they weren’t as reliant on the perfect positioning of the ship as most cannons.
After two hours, the Techno Wizards finally had an agreement on how they would make the magitech orbs to create the munitions, and Dominic had a perfect copy of the plan.
Now, they just needed to make three dozen of the Orbs so that they would have enough for both airships and then a few spares to prove their design to the Royal Auditor, who apparently was supposed to vet all new Magitech Designs.
They sat down to work, and Dominic took a seat at the end of the table, which confused the specialists.
"Advisor, you can wait in your suite for us to finish. We are going to be at least a few hours, even though you have approved the use of all the materials we need." One of the men informed him.
"Just pretend that I’m not here. I will make the same thing that you are, and if it works, I will use it as the proof for the audit." Dominic explained.
They looked skeptical, but the plans were on the table, and if the Royal Advisor thought that he could do it, they would trust him.
Of course, Dominic’s trade skill core was on his bracer, hidden under his sleeve, so they couldn’t see that he was an apprentice blacksmith, or they might have been much less accepting of his presence, and use of the expensive materials.
