Chapter 590 The Prince of Familia and the Establishment of the PAF Air Force

Southwest of Valentine, in a fjord not far from Fort Shield, a huge and slender warship was covered by scaffolding.However, the battleship has no mast, and the two rows of gun ports on the side are even lowered to the bottom of the ship. This is obviously not for sailing, but an airship.

On the viewing platform on the side of the fjord, Mehdi, the Minister of Magic of the Dawn Empire, said to Theresia: "I heard that His Majesty is going to build a royal floating shipyard, and talents from all walks of life gathered here. They brought something that even dazzled me. With the new technology, the construction progress has also been greatly accelerated. This floating ship, which is nominally His Majesty's boat, is only finished with the outer shell, but it will be completed in a few months."

Teresia was wearing a simple white dress, her blond hair was flowing, and the small crown on her forehead was shining brightly in the sun, but it was still hard to take your eyes off her beautiful face.

She nodded and said: "This floating ship is what we use to frighten other magic workshops, especially my good sister. It must be strong enough, but also economical enough. We must let everyone see that the empire has the ability to move on its own." Only if they build airships, and the level is very high, they will make concessions on the price tag, and at the same time improve the technical level of the airships."

Closing the bright red cloak behind her back, she sighed again: "What the empire needs is a large number of warships that can charge into battle and rule the sky, not a yacht that only serves me."

Looking at this warship, which is very different from traditional airships and looks more slender and elegant, Teresia couldn't help admiring: "But now this one... I really like it, who designed it?"

A moment later, the deacon of the royal floating shipyard, the designer and supervisor of this floating ship saluted the queen with both joy and trepidation.

"The villain's name is Encourt-Tennyson. He was originally a magic worker in the Storm Islands. He participated in the design and construction of many floating ships with his mentor. Later, he stayed in the Beta City of the Duke of Prell for a while, and also participated in It has passed the design of the magic vehicle."

"The villain's wish is to preside over the design of the floating ship. There is no place for the villain to use his fists in Beta City, so he came to the empire. It just so happens that the empire opened a floating shipyard, and the villain is fortunate to serve His Majesty here."

"It's from Li Qi." Teresia showed a friendly smile: "No wonder you have such a broad mind, just tell me about your design."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tennyson obviously knew about this summoning and had already prepared for it: "The villain is in the Storm Islands. He is from a fisherman's family. His grandfather and father are both masters in hunting dragon whales. The fishing boats they use emphasize speed. After the villain became a magician, he came into contact with the same fast magic flying boat."

"After the villain came into contact with the airship, he felt that there was a big problem with the design of the airship in the past. They emphasized strength and sturdiness one-sidedly, and didn't care about speed at all. It's going to be pretty good."

"Speed ​​is really important in battle. As long as you outpace your opponent, you have the initiative to enter and exit the battle at any time."

"The villain has witnessed the entire process of the undead war in Beta City. The Fei Gong of the Duke of Prell... that is, the Crimson Church, they pay great attention to speed in battle, and even equip ordinary soldiers with magic vehicles to let the soldiers If you can’t beat them, you can move quickly and look for better opportunities. Those powerful undead were all defeated in this way.”

"Now that magic technology has made great progress, the villain feels that it is completely possible to make the floating ship faster while maintaining the original firepower and protection."

Speaking of the airship he designed, Tennyson's tone became proud: "This airship is 120 meters long, 12 meters at its widest point, and has a total weight of nearly 200 tons. It is already a large airship. Its slender body allows it to fly faster, and if it is equipped with a powerful enough power, its speed can be compared with that of dragons. Yes, Your Majesty, I believe its speed can be close to [-] kilometers per hour."

Teresia took a slight breath: "The speed is 200 kilometers per hour, which is twice that of ordinary floating ships. Is it really possible?"

Tennyson said without hesitation: "As long as you have a magic furnace and a flying furnace equal to other floating ships, I firmly believe in this!"

Teresia said with emotion: "The development of magic technology is really changing with each passing day."

She frowned again: "The consumption of magic spar must be considerable, right? Although the mining volume of magic spar has increased a lot and the price has also dropped a lot, it must cost a lot to maintain such a floating ship. of."

"Your Majesty, the slime magic oil was invented in Beta City, which can reduce the consumption of magic spar by half, and can also break the grade distinction of magic spar," Tennyson remonstrated, "there are also many workshops on the side of the empire." In imitation, the effect is not good. If His Majesty asks the Duke of Prell to present the magic oil technology and promote it in the empire, not only the floating ship, but also the consumption of all magic tools will be greatly reduced."

"Sure enough, it was that guy who set off another wave," Teresia muttered.

Looking at Tennyson, and then at the floating ship in the distance, she sighed secretly.Although Li Qi has embarked on a different path, he is still helping himself from various aspects.Seeing that he didn't restrict people like Tennyson from coming to the empire, you can see what he's thinking.

Since it is a talent sent by him, it must be treated well.

Teresia said: "Tennyson, do you have a knighthood now? Not yet? I'll give you the Imperial Knight first. If this floating ship can really be as fast as you said after it's built, then I'll give you a knighthood." Awarded to you the Baron of the Empire."

Tennyson was trembling with joy, and boldly said: "This floating ship is a boat dedicated to His Majesty. Could Your Majesty please give it a name?"

"name……"

Teresia looked far away, recalling something from the past, and then she said with certainty: "It's called the Prince Familia."

Not only was Tennyson puzzled, even Meddy exchanged puzzled looks with the entourage behind the queen.

Originally, they thought that the queen would give a name related to Kaim, or a name like "Dawn" that showed her own way, but they didn't expect it to be a very common knighted name.

The personal guard from Hadrang Kingdom remembered the name and passed it on privately with his personal assistant. Soon everyone realized that His Majesty was commemorating the shadow family that had been cursed by the blood of the Hadrang royal family.

Only Meddy looked at the Queen's hand that seemed to be placed on her waist unintentionally, and sighed softly. This should be the title that the Queen prepared for the little life that has not yet been born.

………………

On the fifth day after Li Qi returned to Beta City, Ellie hadn't returned yet. According to Alishan, Ellie's destructive power was in great conflict with the power of death, and it took more time to adapt.

Knowing that Ellie really wanted to join, Li Qi would of course wait for her, so he could only continue to be a test pilot, and the gambling battle with the blue dragon Harigos did not take place.

In order to speed up the progress, the research institute quickly assembled several new Red Star No. [-] ships. At this time, Li Qi had to start to form a pilot team... Strictly speaking, it was the Fei Gong Air Force.

Considering the confidentiality, open recruitment is not allowed for the time being, and Li Qi only selects candidates from within the Legion and Guard.On the fourth day, the instructions were conveyed to the two units, and in the early morning of the fifth day, hundreds of people gathered at the gate of the institute.

Except for a few people who were picked by Wilson and Gambit from the Legion, most of them turned out to be members of the Guard, and their temperaments were very similar.Look carefully, it is actually the former Storm Islands battle magician and magic warrior.

"Kramer? You are..."

The leader was actually his second instructor of fighting skills, the magic warrior Kramer.

Kramer scratched his head in embarrassment: "Chief Cardinal, I'm here to intercede for Linde and the others."

Lynd...

Li Qi vaguely remembered that this was the former deputy captain of the Supreme Council Guard who was exiled here, and he was a battle magician.

"Chief Cardinal, we have no strengths other than fighting." A skinny middle-aged magician stood up, and it was Linde.

"We are tired of walking the streets all day in the Guard, doing little things like catching cats and mice," Linde said. "Now the war with Kester has started, and we are eager to participate in the war. Only war Only in this way can we become stronger, and we also hope to win meritorious service in the war, so that the profession of battle magician can be respected by everyone."

Kramer hurriedly smoothed things over for Linde: "It's not that everyone is dissatisfied with the current treatment, but that they feel that more things can be done."

"Yes." Although Linde is indifferent and arrogant, he is also willing to clarify this aspect: "We have a good life in Beta City, and no one discriminates against us. The present life is the leisure time that we all hoped for back then. ,but……"

A warm light rose in his eyes: "We are not old yet, we want to do something."

"I understand your thoughts, and I welcome them," Li Qi said, "But now we are recruiting people who must fly to the sky to fight. This may not be suitable for you."

"Chief Cardinal, it seems that you don't know much about us battle magicians." Linde's tone became arrogant again, but Li Qi was still able to adapt: ​​"Oh, let's hear it."

Linde said: "Our combat magicians use flying skills, and tools such as hoverboards and magic airships to fight are commonplace, and we are no strangers to flying. Floating ship disputes often break out among the magician families in the Storm Islands. In battles between humans, battle magicians are also infantry who assault the opponent's floating airship. We are more familiar with the battlefield of the sky than anyone else."

That's right, those people who have magician background but have lost most of their magical abilities in the main plane are indeed the best candidates for air combat under Fei Gong's rule.

However, fighting in an airship is different from the previous battle mode after all.

"One more thing," Linde said again: "The magic vehicle here is modified according to the idea of ​​the magic puppet, so the small airship should be the same. It just so happens that our battle magician is paired with the magic puppet. We know better how to train and manipulate magic puppets."

Oh, it really is a perfect match!
Li Qi secretly rejoiced that he had communicated with You Zan, and let the research institute start to develop the puppet core route. These battle magicians are really the most suitable instructors!
Not teaching the other pilots, of course, but the puppet core.

"Great, I won't say anything else, I will accept all those who are willing to join!"

Li Qi's crisp response stunned Lin De, who was fully prepared to spend a lot of time talking.

"And the magic warrior, they're all taken in too, not including you, Kramer." Li Qi brought the magic warrior in again.

Although these magic warriors are not as good as battle magicians in terms of core training, they are strong in physique and abundant in magic power, making them good candidates for machine gunners.Moreover, it can also take over the start-up of the magic furnace floating furnace, reducing the consumption of pilots.

Li Qi said again: "Let me declare first that your important work in the early stage is not to fight, but to establish the prototype of the Fei Gong Air Force."

These people can't just be thrown to the front line for consumption, they are the hens of the Fei Gong Air Force.

Lin De and the others hesitated for a moment, then nodded.Whether he can go to the battlefield or not is the next thing, as long as he can fly and be more interesting than the security job he is doing now.

In this way, 82 battle magicians and 270 magic warriors were transferred to the Fei Gong Air Force.

Of course, these people were not the only ones who came, there were also about [-] people selected by the legion.Li Qi organized all the people into the First Wing of the FCP Air Force, and then determined the different roles of air crew and ground crew, pilot and combatant according to each person's specialty and potential.

Among the people from the legion, two muttered in low voices.

"Hassan, are you sure you're equal to those battle mages?"

"I'm an old driver, otherwise the captain wouldn't have picked me. But you, you just got this chance by hugging my thigh."

"Who cares? It's not that you can't handle it alone. I don't want to come here with you. This is to go to heaven. The sky is so scary, you will encounter dragons at any time. Everyone said they saw a blue dragon these days. "

"Just quit if you are afraid. I don't want to continue to partner with you. You can't even get used to the new car. You vomited after the first ride! It's a shame. The members of the second team pointed at me and said look, that's Genil's partner..."

"That's because you haven't trained your core properly. You won't be able to use it if you have two extra legs! Now you change it to an airship and go to the sky, and you will be killed sooner or later! Speaking of which, what can such a small airship do? Can a machine gun beat an airship?"

"Who knows, it's good to be able to fly, anyway, I'm tired of crawling around on the ground..."

"What's the use of light energy flying, and I can't rely on me to shoot? By the way, since we have changed units, we should tell the old political commissar and treat him to a meal at night?"

"The old political commissar is busy now. I heard that he solved the recent big case..."
