Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

With Henry's limited vocabulary, he had no idea what the young man meant by "test pilot".

But he knew that saving lives was the most important thing.

He stepped on the fallen tree trunk and climbed up to the young man.

This should be the cockpit, Henry judged, he saw a lot of various instruments, buttons, runes, and control levers inside.

It's like a super-complex version of a tractor.

After viewing this metal mechanical monster as a super tractor, Henry no longer felt afraid of it.

There was a layer of transparent material in front of the cockpit, which had already broken into pieces. One could see that some of the fragments had pierced into the test pilot's body. The wound was bleeding uncontrollably, and the unfortunate guy's eyes were dazed.

If left alone, he would probably bleed to death in a few minutes.

The lumberjack's on-the-job training also includes the use of simple first aid scrolls.

Henry tried to remember what to do in this situation.

Lay the injured person as flat as possible. Yes, get the injured person out and put him on the ground first.

He began trying to get the test pilot out of the slightly deformed cockpit.

He first untied the belt on his body. This step took him several minutes and made him sweat profusely. Why make the belt so complicated?
Then he took off the mask from his mouth, and Henry was startled when he took it off.

This test pilot actually had a pair of canine teeth protruding from his mouth.

There is actually orc blood?
This kind of hybrid is not common.

After several unsuccessful attempts to drag the test pilot out, Henry scratched his head and saw his axe on the ground.

Is it to save people? He shouldn’t have to pay for the damage.

After using a few axes to chisel open one side of the cockpit, the test pilot was finally pulled out and placed on the ground.

He hurriedly took out the healing scroll from the first aid kit. The scroll equipped by the lumberjack was a universal one, effective for most injuries.

It can't be cured, but it can save lives.

He quickly used it on the test pilot's wound. A warm white light was emitted, and after a few seconds, the bleeding stopped.

But it is far from healed, the fragments are still stuck inside, and foreign objects stuck in the wound cannot be pulled out casually, so this healing scroll can only protect the wound temporarily.

It looks like he's out of danger.

Henry slumped down on the ground, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and waited for the people from the forest farm to come and deal with it.

Having saved a life, he felt happy and relaxed.

At this moment he remembered that the person he rescued was an orc-half, and he couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

"Your parents are playing big..."

Before he finished speaking, several lights of teleportation suddenly lit up in the surrounding woods. The magic was so powerful that even Henry, who couldn't cast spells, could feel it.

Then, a team of fully armed soldiers, several goblins in strange white coats, several characters who looked tough, and a red dragon walked out from the teleportation light.

Henry was horrified.

He stared in amazement at what was happening before his eyes.

No, is it necessary to have such a big fuss?
He thought that this thing falling from the sky would be of great importance, but he didn't expect it to be so important.

I won’t be silenced, will I?
Henry's mind went through stories of adventures told by the cooks.

There are all kinds of unlucky supporting characters in it, who accidentally come across some important secrets, evil conspiracies, major events that are enough to change history, and then die tragically on the spot, leading to subsequent stories.

Could it be that he is going to be the supporting character that introduces the story?

Several people dressed as priests, carrying large and small bags, rushed past Henry and toward the test pilot lying on the ground next to him, and began a series of inspections.

Soon, the chaplains concluded that "the test pilot is not in danger of death and has received timely emergency treatment and is in good condition."

"Emergency medical treatment?" After hearing the priests' report, Drogo looked at the only outsider present.

The shivering woodcutter, Henry.

Drogo took three or two steps to Henry, but didn't get any closer than a few meters, because it seemed that if he got any closer, he would faint.

"You performed first aid?"

Henry nodded nervously. Now things were beginning to sound more and more like the cook's story.

He discovered the super group's secret experiment by himself.

What's next?
The red dragon in front of you would probably say something like “blame it on your own bad luck.”

And then he was dead.

Henry closed his eyes in pain.

I don't know if it will hurt...

However, after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened.

He opened his eyes a little in confusion and saw a huge dragon face with bared teeth and squinted eyes.

This expression looks like he's smiling?
Before Henry could react, he was pulled up.

"Aisha, hurry up, contact the news team. This is a typical character. He is a brave lumberjack who is not afraid of danger. In an emergency, he saves the life of the test pilot and is awarded a 100-gold reward from the Drogo Group. Write along these lines. The key points must be highlighted and the reward given."

Drogo said quickly.

He emphasized again, "Remember, you must highlight the rewards!"

Drogo's consistent thinking is that good things must be rewarded, otherwise how can we motivate everyone to learn.

It doesn't matter if you are a noble person, you have to give it.

Then he said to Henry: "You have done a great thing. Not only did you save a life, but you also saved an important technical talent for the Drogo Group and made an indelible contribution to the cause of artificial aircraft..."

Henry was a little dazed by the flattery.

I stood there dizzy and began to doubt myself.

Did I just save the world?

I was taken to take photos, received money, and was also taken to do an interview.

After seeing off the typical character, Drogo looked at the test pilot who was receiving treatment.

The condition is indeed okay and he has regained consciousness.

As to whether it will affect work ability in the future, more tests are needed.

Today is the day for the ultimate test of the first generation of the dragon-like flapping-wing aircraft.

The flapping-wing aircraft was discovered not long ago when Shenzhen Research Institute was investigating weapons projects that had the potential to be put into production.

It is a key project.

Because Feilin currently seriously lacks air defense means, gaining air superiority is almost equivalent to being invincible.

Originally, the air control relied on the Dragon Clan, but the number of Dragon Clan is very limited after all, and their development cycle is too long. Besides, most of them are running couriers, and it is difficult to pull them to the battlefield.

Therefore, the development of aircraft was naturally put on the agenda.

It’s just that the research and development path is very different from that on Earth.

The flapping-wing aircraft imitates the principle of dragon flight, combining magic and physics. It has foldable, flapping wings and a tail to assist in balance, but it has no head or claws. The pilot's cabin is in the front.

In theory, the two most difficult issues to solve for this type of aircraft, which relies on flapping its wings to take off, are materials and endurance. However, in this plane full of magical power, these issues have not become problems at all.

It was developed relatively smoothly.

The appearance of the entire flapping-wing aircraft can be said to be quite diesel punk.

Although the body is made of synthetic materials forged by the dwarves, it is connected with large rivets visible to the naked eye, and there are two pipes on both sides to discharge the exhaust gas caused by the generated magic power during operation. Although it looks a bit patchwork, it is actually quite expensive.

This kind of weapon, which represents the highest technological level of the current era, cannot be cheap even if you want it to be.

The metal shell on the surface is very light and does not have strong protective capabilities. It is mainly used to protect against heavy crossbows.

In order to deal with Felin's more common lightning, ice arrows, arcane missiles and other things, the main defense of the flapping-wing machine is a layer of magic shield.

The magic energy consumption is extremely high, and a single flight can only last for one hour, requiring the pilot to control the switch at all times.

The "Iron Plane" has a light blue shield, which can be said to have both a sense of backwardness and a sense of science fiction.

As for onboard weapons, the only air-to-air weapons are the onboard machine guns modified from the magic machine guns.

For air-to-ground attacks, there are large quantities of new-type magic grenades with certain tracking capabilities stored in space props.

The ammunition capacity is huge.

Because space props are so precious, it is designed with special "escape measures" that will automatically teleport back to a safe area when the damage to the body is too severe.

In the end, through the combination of these designs, a flapping-wing aircraft was pieced together that looked a bit like a dragon from a distance.

Compared to the planes that Drogo remembered, it was not that fast, but it had superb maneuverability.

Taking off from the ground, hovering, and all kinds of dazzling movements can be performed relatively easily.

It is precisely because of this that after the prototype was made, it underwent many test flights to confirm its combat capability, and this final test was carried out.

Test the extent of action that can be performed under the most extreme circumstances.

Drogo was very satisfied with the result, but the chief engineer was not very satisfied, so an accident occurred when trying more extreme operations.

According to the chief engineer, testing should continue until something goes wrong, otherwise there is no way to find the problem.

Anyway, the prototype is equipped with fairly comprehensive rescue measures, and if an unexpected situation occurs, the test pilot can be transported immediately.

And this test pilot is obviously a little too dedicated.

He tried to save the ornithopter, which ultimately led to an emergency landing in a forest farm.

Now he has come to his senses.

The first thing I did after waking up was to ask, "How is the prototype?"

"It's not a big deal. You've done your best," Drogo replied. "You did well, but don't do it again next time."

The test pilot was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Did I fail to protect the group's important assets?"

Drogo sighed and replied, "You are mistaken. You are a more important asset than the ornithopter."

Hearing what Zhuo Ge said, the test pilot was extremely moved and his eyes filled with tears. "Boss, you, I..."

Seeing him like this, Drogo didn't know what to say.

Because what he just said was the truth.

Compared to the flapping-wing aircraft, the test pilot is indeed a more important asset. It is not worth it to let the test pilot take risks in order to protect the aircraft.

Training an excellent pilot is much more expensive than building one.

Moreover, the situation that Drogo is facing now is not only that the training funds are very expensive, but also that the number of candidates is limited.

Due to the super maneuverability of flapping-wing aircraft, the acceleration it has to withstand can easily exceed 10G.

After casting a wide net to find potential pilots for testing, the conclusion was that the most suitable people to fly flapping-wing aircraft were orcs and human hybrids.

The orc bloodline gives him a natural ability to resist acceleration and excellent eyesight.

Human ancestry provides greater flexibility and better learning ability.

Being a pilot is a profession that requires a lot of intelligence.

The orc-human hybrid was a perfect match, the only problem was, there wasn't much of it.

The union of these two races is not common.

Drogo has already started looking for half-bloods throughout Sutton who are of the right age and willing to do this job, and who also meet the requirements in other aspects. The number of people has just exceeded three digits, and this test pilot is the most capable one among all of them.

The only good news was the orc-human bonding event held by Drogo.

Originally, Drogo didn't have high expectations. In his opinion, the two races might not meet each other's aesthetic standards.

Can they be considered a couple if they can be together? You can't force them to be together if they don't want to be together.

Unexpectedly, the party was a success.

Especially human men and orc women.

A considerable number of human males do like the opposite sex who are one or even several sizes older than them.

There are also quite a number of orc females who like the gentleness and thoughtfulness of humans. Of course, if we use orc standards, even the super males among humans are considered gentle and considerate.

Drogo also attended their collective wedding and sincerely wished them a son soon.

Unfortunately, even if you give birth earlier, you will have to wait at least twenty years to see the future.

Therefore, Drogo's emphasis on test pilots is completely reasonable.

This poor child doesn't know how precious he is.

After checking on the test pilot, Drogo went to find the engineers who were checking the ornithopter.

That is, the goblins.

They were now climbing on various positions of the ornithopter, and two were on the ground, performing the goblin sacrificial dance.

The picture is very abstract.

It is said that this is because this is the most complicated thing the goblins have ever made, so it is inevitable that it will lead to strange superstitions.

Research is research, and sacrifices are sacrifices. There is no conflict.

Then again, if we put a piece of divine bone on the plane based on the power of Felin's faith, would the goblins be able to worship it and create a machine soul...

"What's the status of the prototype?"

"Very good, it can be fixed in less than a week. The problem that occurred today should be improved in... two weeks." The chief engineer replied.

Ever since the goblins devoted themselves to science, more and more goblins have become able to speak fluently.

"No need to improve it for now. Let's come up with a mass production plan for this version first. This version of the flapping-wing aircraft has already met the usage requirements. We will keep the improved version for ourselves and prepare to sell this version."

Roman had already started a war of aggression, and Orion's borders were pushed back hundreds of kilometers in just a few days.

Their appetite clearly extends beyond Orion.

What does this mean? This means huge market demand!
Which powerful country that rises up will not sell some arms?

It’s urgent, we must catch up with this trend.

"Um, the mass production plan should be available in two days."

"Ah?" Drogo didn't expect the goblin to answer like that.

"Because the technology used here is all pieced together from the technology we already have. Only the wings are new things that are combined with dragon language magic. So actually, the only thing that needs to be mass-produced is the wings, but it's not complicated."

The chief engineer's tone was quite reliable.

"very good."

Drogo thought about it and decided that now that he had weapons, he should have a stage to display them.

I seem to have an "acquaintance" in Orion. (End of this chapter)
