Torch was staring at the results of the latest simulation regarding the air ships, "Even with enchantments to decrease their weight, we're still barely able to achieve flight?"
At first Torch had thought it'd be pretty easy to create an air ship. Humanity was able to accomplish far greater things without the assistance of mana. So with all the enchantments and rare materials at his fingertips he should be able to do the same. Especially with a super computer capable of simulating the process before he wasted materials testing it.
He did succeed too, at first. A barebones model was able to sustain a constant flight with reasonable costs in fuel. However this barebones model had no functions, and was paper thin in defense.
So as he added more functions and thickened the armor, he added more weight than the model could sustain. Even when increasing the output and using better fuel he still could not obtain a worthwhile height.
