Arad's Sword

Chapter 204 Pioneer Boat Test Flight

Not two people, but one person.

It is no longer a "two-seater airship", but a "pioneer boat".

For the two designers, Norton and Wells, it was just a twist on Midi's genius idea, simplifying and optimizing it to make it more usable.In the eyes of these two people, the "two-seater airship" should be an idea in Midi's mind, not an actual product.

But Midi, who is a reborn person, knows very well that the "two-seater airship" is not an idea, but a product that has been practiced and optimized by many designers in the previous life.

Of course, in that life, Norton did not participate in the design of the airship, and Wells probably died under the conspiracy of his brothers.

But in this life, when the master alchemist Norton and the genius designer Wells came together because of Midi's relationship, and when they got the overall design of the airship in the previous life, it seemed that they had produced a far more than a butterfly. The effect is even more fantastic results.

From "two-seater airship" to "pioneer boat", this is not just strengthening, but evolution.

"Come and try!" Midi said bluntly without any extra words.

An elf test pilot immediately jumped onto the vanguard boat and sat in the open cockpit. As the aerosol in the sky ring began to continuously accelerate, the invisible buoyancy pushed the silver-white vanguard boat like a dolphin Lifting it gently, amidst the rhythmic sound of the engine, the pioneer boat flew into the air with a "whoosh".

In order to avoid being discovered by the empire, the pioneer boat did not rise to a very high place, but wandered back and forth in the factory's test flight field, making various decent flying postures such as hovering, turning, accelerating, diving, and climbing. .

Then, it paused in the air again, and the two cannons at the front rotated rapidly, shooting out fire snakes, directly smashing the target hundreds of meters away!
In the end, the vanguard boat made a carefully calculated dive and threw out the bomb hidden in the boat. This move had obviously been practiced many times, and the bomb drew a graceful arc in midair. , and landed in the center of a large target with a diameter of ten meters on the ground with incomparable accuracy.

Of course, this bomb is just a model bomb, its weight and shape are comparable to the actual bomb, but it is impossible to explode, so it is just a hole.

"The attack power of the machine gun is equivalent to the full blow of two 50-level capped gunners. Different types of warheads can be added. Of course, if it can be driven by earth stones, the power will continue to increase, surpassing the capped gun. The destructive power of the gunner!" Norton continued to spit.

Wells was not to be outdone: "The power of the bomb is comparable to that of a mithril bomb. Simply put, it is not much different from the power of a hit from the main gun of an ironclad warship. Those keel warships will definitely sink to the bottom! "

"So, how is it?" The two asked in unison, looking at Midi with expectant but confident eyes.

Today's Midi, in their eyes, is not only a genius commander, but also an inventive genius. It is absolutely epoch-making to think of using the characteristics of Kongmingshi to make the sky ring, and then propose the concept of airship based on this characteristic. idea.

Therefore, both the alchemist and the design genius are looking forward to being affirmed by Midi, a "leading fellow".

"The design of the pioneer boat has greatly exceeded my expectations. I can be sure that both of you are geniuses!" Midi said in a very positive tone, "But..."

but?

At the beginning, Norton and Wells were nice, but when they heard the most powerful turning word "but", they immediately "thumped" in their hearts.

This is a sign of raising first and then suppressing, first appeasing and then criticizing.

Is there any problem with this vanguard boat designed by Zen?

In other words, what is the mystery and particularity of the design of the two-seater that should not be changed easily?
The two looked at each other and speculated, and Midi spoke again.

"However, I made a huge mistake." Midi sighed deeply and smiled wryly.

Yes, it is not the two designers who made the mistake, but Midi, and the mistake is not in the vanguard itself, but in the pilot who drives the vanguard!
Before going to the Three Towers Sea of ​​Trees, Midi described every detail in detail, hoping to become a reference for designing airships, but he forgot one thing - teaching people how to fly airships.

Although the elf with excellent balance also looked good when he was a test pilot, but in Midi's eyes, this kind of good looks was not enough.What Midi knows better is that flying at this level will only bring about failure and death in actual combat!

Hovering, turning, accelerating, diving, etc., these postures, if you use metaphors, are similar to the situation of a baby just learning to walk. They are only the most basic and do not reflect the advantages of air vehicles at all.

Before shooting, you need to stop to aim, and you can only drop bombs in a fixed posture. These two are even more fatal problems.

The vanguard boat was already quite fragile, and its range was only a few hundred meters, no different from ordinary gunners. Once it stopped, it would immediately become a target and be directly destroyed.

As for bombing with a fixed stance, you may get good results in the first few times, but the Imperials are not idiots. After watching it a few times, you will be able to make predictions based on this stance immediately, not only be able to dodge accordingly, maybe even You can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and maybe stop the vanguard boat directly.

In a word, the epoch-making weapon has been built, but how to use it is a technical task.

"Let all the test pilots, selected pilots, and people from the Magic Research Department of the Falcon Regiment go to the commanding heights of Deep Rock Island."

Midi gave a simple order, and then, he jumped directly onto the vanguard boat.

The next moment, a silver-white lightning leaped into the sky!

This bolt of lightning drew an incomparably bright arc in the low sky, and then rushed towards an exit without hesitation.

The exit was only about three meters wide. To be precise, it was a small door for people to pass through, and it was still slightly closed at the moment, making it even narrower.

Seeing the direction in which Midi was heading, almost everyone's heartbeat accelerated suddenly.

Test flight accident!In many people's minds, these four characters have even involuntarily popped up.

However, before Norton, Wells, and other spectators could make a sound to stop them, Midi had already driven the pioneer boat to fold slightly, and easily passed through the half-covered door, which was almost as wide as the fuselage. Sprinted out of different small doors!
From take-off to acceleration to passing out of the test flight field, all of this happened in a flash, so that people's moods fluctuated suddenly, and there was no time for fear, surprise, or emotion.After a while, I heard Wells murmuring in a low voice——

"God..."

"Go to the commanding heights!" After several seconds, Master Norton remembered Midi's order, and quickly took the lead and ran out.

While a group of people were hurrying, Midi drove the vanguard boat slowly in the low sky of Deep Rock Island, getting familiar with the characteristics of the machine.

It wasn't until he personally got on the vanguard ship that he really felt that the airship used by human beings to soar into the sky in this life and occupy such a place in the sea of ​​sky in the future has really become stronger.The compact structure makes the reaction speed faster, and the streamlined shape makes the air resistance smaller. The way the alchemist Norton handles the air liquid also makes the thrust brought by its circulation stronger.

The most important thing is that the weight of the pioneer boat has been greatly reduced from a double seat to a single seat, which has brought about a complete qualitative change.

If it is this kind of single-seater pioneer boat, many difficult flying maneuvers in the previous life may be easily performed!

After getting acquainted with the characteristics of the body, such an idea suddenly appeared in Midi's heart.

With a glance, he immediately saw that Master Norton and his party had rushed to the commanding heights panting, which happened to be able to have a clear view of the entire Deep Rock Island, including his vanguard boat of course.

Now that the audience is all here, let's give it a try!
Thinking of this, Midi pressed the accelerator, and the speed of the sky ring suddenly increased, and the vanguard boat suddenly turned into a stream of light, and began to shuttle between various areas of Deep Rock Island.

Under Midi's control, what the vanguard boat did was not just a simple climb, dive, acceleration and deceleration, but a series of difficult flight movements.On the criss-crossing streets, it is a snake-like flight, between the uneven buildings, it is a motor gliding, when encountering various dead ends, it is to perform a displacement maneuver, and so on.

In the intricate environment of Deep Rock Island, the vanguard boat controlled by Midi is like a real dolphin, playing with the invisible air, riding the strong wind with a damp smell, and shuttles at high speed among the reefs formed by the buildings Fly, come and go freely, never slow down.

All of a sudden, watching Midi's dazzling and unbelievable aerobatics, everyone on the commanding heights, even Tanius, who has never been interested in anything other than fighting, was stunned.

No one spoke. It can even be said that people have forgotten to speak, and only know that their eyes are fixed on the silver pioneer boat.

To achieve this level can already be said to be the pinnacle, right?

Many people even think so in their hearts.

However, Midi's test flight is far from over, on the contrary, it seems to have just begun.

Passing through various areas of Deep Rock Island at an unbelievable speed, the vanguard boat made a turn, skimmed the pier at low altitude, passed lightly between the masts of several armored warships that were docked, and then pressed on the sea surface, Bringing up an extremely long wave tail, it soon entered the chaotic reef area.

This chaotic reef area is one of the characteristics of Deep Rock Island. There are countless tall reefs standing in the water, many of them look like hills, and they are everywhere. Once a warship enters it, it will immediately crash into it, even the ironclad ship is no exception.

But at this moment, this chaotic reef area has become Midi's best shooting range.

　Dear readers, I am really sorry, due to some problems in the background, there was a mistake today, and now it is finally updated, please forgive me!
　　In addition, I recommend a friend's book "Ice and Snow God Prison", if you are interested, you can read it.
