Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Outside Deepwater City, there is the Northern Aircraft Industry Research Institute experimental base, referred to as Beifei.

At an altitude of 600 meters, an aircraft that is several times larger than a conventional flapping-wing aircraft is hovering in the air.

It is a transport aircraft that is currently being tested.

The technology learned from the dragon flying magic allows this behemoth weighing dozens of tons to hover relatively steadily, with only the wings slightly adjusted to adapt to the airflow, causing a slight shake.

It can be said to be very elegant.

Dragon magic is indeed extremely professional in this area. The ancient dragon itself is heavier than a transport plane, and can also perform various complex aerial maneuvers.

Compared to the elegant and comfortable big plane, the paratroopers inside are much wilder in style.

"Quick, quick, quick, go to the corresponding hatch, grab your airborne shields, pay attention to tactical movements, don't break yourself!"

The orc instructor stood in the middle of the cabin and shouted loudly.

"Prepare……"

As the command to prepare was given, both sides of the transport plane's cabin were opened.

"Jump!"

Without any hesitation, all the paratroopers in the cabin jumped out of the cabin door in a line like diving, with their arms pressed against their bodies, and fell rapidly in a posture with the least air resistance.

It was not until the paratroopers were 200 meters above the ground that they turned sideways, held up the shield with their upper arms and shoulders, and activated the runes on the shield. A few seconds later, a fountain suddenly gushed out at the landing point on the ground facing the shield.

Then, the paratroopers, holding up their shields, smashed directly into the oncoming water stream.

The violent impact did not make the well-trained soldiers incapable of movement. When the Yongquan technique disappeared, the soldiers who landed were already on guard with standard tactical movements.

A whistle sounded, and all the paratroopers put away their weapons and assembled into a team.

The instructor trotted over to Drogo and said, "Report, the first squad of the Hell Airborne Troops should have 16 people, and there are 16 people."

"Very good." Drogo clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Judging from what has been demonstrated, transport aircraft and airborne troops can now be officially put into use.

In fact, the airborne team was originally called the Hell Paratroopers, but because they did not use parachutes, they were simply renamed the Hell Paratroopers.

The reason why it is named "Hell" has little to do with the group of paratroopers who are also smashing down in Halo.

The main reason is that when the team was first established, the core members were all devils.

It comes directly from hell.

At the beginning, both Drogo and the Deep Research Institute thought that airborne landing was simple, and believed that they only needed to jump down using the Feather Fall technique.

After repeated tests, it was discovered that the Feather Fall Technique could only be used in a very safe environment and could not fulfill the important role of airborne troops, which was to land in the most dangerous places.

Because the spell of Feather Fall cannot just fall a short distance, the casting guidance must be completed before jumping.

At the same time, the descending speed is so slow that it lives up to its name, it really falls like a feather.

Not only is the efficiency slightly low, it also leads to a very fatal problem: when it is floating in the sky, it is a pure sitting duck.

There is no need for even any professional air defense equipment. The mage's simplest spell missile can hit every target accurately.

A junior wizard who has just learned the spell missile can defeat a plane full of paratroopers by himself.

This spell is not very powerful, its main feature is that it is fired very quickly, with many and accurate missiles.

In order to solve the problem of Yu Luo being a living target, two solutions were considered at that time.

One is to feather fall while keeping the shield open.

This plan was eventually abandoned because it was uncertain how strong the shield would be and the cost of maintaining the entire feather fall process was uncontrollable.

So there was a second type, which is the one we are using now.

Just jump down and let gravity take care of dodging the missiles.

It turns out that magic missiles really can't catch up with the free-falling paratroopers.

The plan was successful.

That leaves just one small problem.

How to prevent paratroopers from falling to death.

In order to come up with a workable solution as quickly as possible, the Shenzhen Research Institute made a very bold decision. Instead of conducting complicated theoretical verification, it proposed new ideas and tried them out directly to see if they were feasible.

This kind of airborne test where one jumps in to see if they live or die can naturally only be done by paratroopers who don't really care whether they live or die.

In this way, the first phase of the Hell Airborne Forces, composed entirely of demons, was officially established.

The devils are very enthusiastic about their work because the Shenzhen Research Institute pays them wages based on the number of times they break things.

As long as you break enough and fast enough, you can earn several times more than those devils on the front battlefield.

You will die anyway wherever you go, and the devils are making money by risking their lives, so it’s better to earn more.

In other words, the healing drugs given to other races are not applicable to demons. Otherwise, they would make money from medical experiments until the day when humans become extinct.

Finally, after thousands of crushing deaths, the 1.0 version of the shield airborne plan was dug out, which took thirteen days.

It is divided into two parts.

Release water from the front to provide buffering.

Indeed, if you jump from a height of several hundred meters, either falling into the water or hitting the ground directly will result in death, but with the help of water as a buffer, the impact will be less.

The reverse side is a protective spell that is only triggered when impacted, and can accumulate momentum and release it more evenly and slowly.

The combination of the two has created the current landing plan, which looks almost suicidal but is actually quite safe.

The falling process involves a lot of operations and requires frequent practice.

Paratroopers are elite troops, and they jump into areas surrounded by the enemy. As for ordinary delivery, they can just use the feather fall technique and there is no need to defend against spell missiles.

The entire process of this airborne demonstration has been recorded and will be handed over to Figosin and the parliament as proof that they have achieved the airborne troops.

New aircraft and new types of soldiers can begin production and formation.

Before Drogo sent the video recording to Figosin, he received her message.

"Confidential! Discuss the feasibility of attacking the industrial production capacity of the Roman Empire."

"Ok?"

When he saw the news, Drogo didn't think much about it. It was logical to attack industrial production capacity.

You can't fight a war without logistics.

Soon, Drogo set up a meeting room in the consciousness space and invited Figosin.

Figosin also invited Soren and El, two legendary wizards from the Mages Guild.

Confidentiality is confidentiality, but it was discussed in an online meeting. It sounds a bit unserious, but the security and confidentiality in the consciousness space are quite guaranteed.

After all, on Drogo's side, there is a super network manager who covers the entire network.

As long as they don't get sick themselves and bring reporters and the like into the meeting, there will be no risk of leaks.

"Okay, everyone is here," said Figesin. "I called you all together because Master Soran came up with an idea to destroy the Loman Industrial production line. I think it's feasible, but there are two problems to be solved: airborne into Loman territory, and large-scale spells that are not affected by the Loman magic circle and can be triggered quickly."

Drogo understood, so he wanted to pull him and El, one to solve the problem of how to land, and the other to deal with the large spell.

Soran quickly explained his ideas.

"You want the paratroopers to land directly into Loman and complete special operations," said Drogo.

"Special operations?"

"It is a combat operation to achieve a special purpose by forming a special elite team and completing the mission in a special way. Different from the frontal troops, it is covert, sudden, and quick."

Drogo briefly explained.

Once upon a time, because the concept sounded incredible, special forces became synonymous with being able to do anything, as if as long as they were special forces, they could do anything. The profession was mythified, and the assassin was similar.

The elite are indeed the elite, but it doesn’t mean that they are better than people in the corresponding professions in any speciality.

"Similar to the high-level extraordinary team formed by the Adventurer's Guild to carry out legendary missions?"

Figosin immediately understood the concept that Drogo was talking about.

"Almost the same, but with more discipline and better planning."

Based on Drogo's understanding of adventurers, there are quite a few reckless people in this industry who don't make plans.

"As for airborne operations, the technology has actually been perfected, but I am not optimistic about such an extreme operation as airborne operations into the Lowman Center."

"Has airborne technology been perfected?"

"Yes." Drogo directly showed the video he had just recorded.

The other three were shocked when they saw the Hell paratroopers' "direct" landing method.

Even Saint-El, who always looked like he had everything under control, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"How did you come up with this landing method?" Soran asked.

Although he is well-informed, he is often shocked by the strange thinking patterns of the researchers in the Drogo Group.

"From playing games," Drogo replied.

"what?"

"Have you played Minecraft? It was released a few years ago and is still one of the top online gamers. I recommend you try it. The person who came up with this solution used water as a reference. When you land, put a grid of water under your feet. It doesn't matter how high the water is. This method was derived from there, but it's a bit complicated to implement in practice."

Figosin then said, "If this method is indeed reliable."

"No need for ifs. It's very reliable. The devils have jumped out of this again and again. This solution has not been broken since it was iterated."

"Okay, this method is very reliable, so why not just airdrop to Loman."

"It's not a landing problem," said Drogo, "it's a plane problem. Loman has already tried air defense. Maybe due to insufficient mobility, we haven't seen much effect on the battlefield. However, important cities with industrial production have set up air defense. It's not very realistic to let planes go there and drop people off safely."

The numerous spies planted within Loman played a greater role during the war.

According to reliable intelligence, important cities in Roman have been equipped with the latest air defense measures. The specific effect cannot be fully determined without fighting, but judging from the discussions within the Roman military, they are quite satisfied with it.

Drogo continued, "Moreover, even if the people are dropped off, how can they reach the target location? In order to facilitate production, Loman has built factories around the city. If the planes landed directly nearby, their safety could not be guaranteed. How can they reach the factories safely if they landed in the suburbs? The details of this plan are too difficult to implement. Or maybe you have imagined the airborne troops to be too good."

In fact, Drogo should take part of the responsibility for the airborne troops.

He overhyped them. This was mainly a matter of professional habit. He would hype them up before they were made...

“Is it totally unfeasible?”

"I can't say it's completely successful, but the success rate is indeed low. However, I agree that we should dismantle Loman's production line, so we should find a more reliable entry plan, or at least a more thorough one."

"Well, the way to enter Loman..."

At this time, El, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke up, "I don't agree with this. It's not time to use the One Ring yet."

"Why? Isn't the reason you studied the One Ring to stop the war? Now is a chance to hasten the end of the war."

"The power of the One Ring is too great."

As the main developer, no one knows better than El what effect the Supreme Ring can cause.

"Its direct killing radius is over three kilometers. It is almost impossible for anyone to survive within this range except the ring bearer. In addition to the direct killing range, there are also unstable magic fluctuations caused by elemental mutations, which can theoretically affect more than ten kilometers. All creatures within this range may suffer uncertain damage, and this impact will last for several years. Currently, the Supreme Ring we are using at sea has not shown any signs of dissipating."

El said seriously: "Too many deaths will occur. If Loman builds the factory in the city, as long as the Supreme Ring is used, most of the city will be killed. How many innocent people will die?"

"But as long as the war ends, more deaths can be avoided." Soran retorted.

"How do you measure the value of life? Can you justify sacrificing a large number of innocent people for the sake of more people? What's the difference between us and our enemies?"

The word "Saint" in front of Saint El's name not only reflects his world-class magical attainments, but also his extremely high moral standards.

Although he puts the future of the elves first, he will generously provide help to the weak of any race.

It is precisely because life is long that we deeply feel its preciousness.

"They are not so innocent either. They are also participants in this war, at least indirectly."

What Soran said made sense. Restoring the glory of the Roman Empire was the slogan that Roman people all over the country were shouting, and they were very fanatical about it.

"The Romans with conscience should have been kicked out long ago. Many of our teachers are like that."

"The Romans can't choose who their emperor is! And there are so many children. What can children understand?"

……

Two legendary mages from the Mage Guild held different opinions and argued endlessly.

Drogo didn't say anything. In his opinion, both sides had their own reasons.

Indiscriminate annihilation is a bit too cruel.

The former Scourge Red Dragon was not one that would grab anything without choosing a target.

"All right."

Finally, it was Figesin who stepped forward and put an end to the argument.

"We are just discussing it now, and we haven't figured out how to enter Loman yet, so let's put this question aside for now."

Figosin paused and said seriously: "As for the Supreme Ring, if, if Loman takes more extreme actions and the war develops to a point where it is difficult to control, I am in favor of using it directly on the city. I will bear the future responsibilities."

El sighed and said nothing more.

He also understood that if the One Ring was to be used as the ultimate weapon to deter war, it must be used once to let the world see its power. (End of this chapter)
