Nine in the morning to nine at night, seven days a week, without a single day off.
Jaina spent two busy weeks in the steam engine assembly workshop. Once the new production line went into operation, she moved on to the internal combustion engine workshop.
The Liberator A's supporting components entered production, and Kobi and his son led the most skilled workers in preparing to assemble the landing gear.
After the first aircraft carrier was delivered, Ansirem took over the Liberator A development program.
"The power generated by the internal combustion engines is nowhere near enough to keep an aircraft flying at high altitude, even if they run reliably." Jaina spun the turbofan as she sat at the desk, studying Rowan's latest invention.
Where technology fell short, magic could fill the gap.
Ansirem was not worried about power. Levitation technology could easily make up the shortfall.
But converting potent arcane energy into jet thrust required a stable operating environment.
Arcane energy could serve as a combustion enhancer for the black fuel, multiplying its energy output. That shifted the problem from combustion power to the development of new materials.
The Lift Core's operating environment, for comparison, was a massive energy furnace constructed from numerous Reinforced Inscription barriers.
Ordinary steel and small inscriptions could not perfectly contain volatile arcane energy within a compact device.
Besides, a small arcane energy reserve was nowhere near enough to propel an aircraft with a theoretical weight of seven tons.
Every requirement pointed toward the development of new materials.
With his thoughts clearly organized, Ansirem explained his ideas to his student's student. "The power issue can actually be remedied. The key problem facing us now is materials. The steel currently produced in the industrial district is only suitable for large equipment. For compact power mechanisms like these,
