In the southwest of the royal capital, on a large area of the flight training ground, five speakers including Lin En, Harrov, and Anthony, as well as a group of great wizards who participated in the production of new fighter planes, gathered here to watch this event. ’s first test flight.
"Is this the supersonic fighter you developed? It looks good!" Harrov couldn't help but admired the flat-shaped monster in front of him, which was more than six meters tall, eighteen meters long, and had a wingspan of more than twelve meters. With.
Anthony, Aurora and others also just arrived at the training ground and were attracted by the new fighter plane's perfect aerodynamics and streamlined body. The metal shell made of mithril shone in the noon sun. Look. One glance is unforgettable.
Although Linn had expected it, Dennis's ability to create it within a few months was beyond his expectation. It can only be said that the engineering advantage of a wizard with atomic-level control capabilities is really too great.
It is said that in order to create this fighter plane as soon as possible, the Alchemy Research Institute used five great wizards and hundreds of official wizards.
"Lord Speaker, Master Dennis, can we start?" The halfling girl had made preparations early, climbed into the cabin, put on protective gear, and asked impatiently.
Linn looked at Dennis, and when he nodded, he told Lydia to start!
The wizards present also looked over, and even Dennis became a little nervous. Even though he was very confident in his creation, it was indeed the first time for a manned test flight.
"Buzz~" With a deafening roar, Lydia pressed the start switch, and in an instant, a long tail flame shot out from the two huge nozzles at the rear of the fighter plane.
The powerful thrust caused the halfling girl to hit the seat cushion heavily at the back. Fortunately, Lydia, who had participated in the production of the fighter plane, was well prepared and did not panic. She firmly grasped the lever and maintained her balance.
Under the gaze of everyone, the silver fighter jet quickly crossed the runway and took off into the sky in just two seconds.
"What a speed!" Tim, the great wizard on the side, sighed and said.
"This hasn't started yet!" Dennis shook his head. The new fighter plane has two modes: subsonic and supersonic. During the take-off stage, the speed can only be regarded as normal!
At the same time, at an altitude of 1,000 meters, Lydia flew smoothly for a while, and after fully adapting to the control of the fighter plane, she solemnly activated the supersonic mode.
The propeller inside the fighter suddenly started operating rapidly. A large amount of compressed hydrogen and oxygen mixed gas was poured into the combustion chamber, and then detonated instantly. The high-temperature and high-pressure air flow flew out along the pipe and accelerated through the Laval tube. Later, the speed increased again by several levels.
The tail flame, which was originally half a meter long, instantly expanded to more than two meters. A violent sonic boom resounded in the sky. What appeared in front of Harrov and others was an extremely magnificent sight.
The silver fighter plane flew through the sky at an unimaginable speed, breaking the sound barrier and forming a cone-shaped airflow layer behind the fuselage. Combined with the long tail flame, it looked like a silver-white comet crossing the sky. .
"Is this a sonic boom cloud?" Tim looked at this scene in shock. Although they discovered this phenomenon during the wind tunnel test, it was still very shocking to actually see it in front of them.
According to the calculation of distance and orientation, the fighter plane's flying speed has reached three times the speed of sound, which can be seen from the three eye-catching sonic rings on the tail flame.
"Very good, everything seems to be going well!" Dennis nodded with great satisfaction. What he was most worried about was that when the supersonic mode was activated, the huge increase in speed and the terrifying wind resistance would cause the fighter plane to lose balance and fall.
Fortunately, Lidya's skills were extremely superb, and the thing he was most worried about did not happen.
Next is the battle test!
"Which one of you is coming?" Linn turned to look at Harrov, Aurora, Vittorio and Anthony.
This supersonic fighter is going to perform missions in foreign lands, so actual combat drills are naturally very important, especially being able to deal with legendary-level enemies, which is very critical.
Several speakers were very interested in this new type of fighter, and Harrov was the first to say it with great interest.
"Let me do it!"
After the words fell, Harrov turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky.
Linn nodded and simultaneously sent the message to Lydia through the magic network.
"Are we going to fight?" In the cockpit of the fighter plane, the halfling girl was not afraid at all. Instead, she was a little excited. She didn't expect that she would be able to compete with the legendary speakers.
However, she was excited. Lydia, who had rich experience in flying and aerial combat, did not dare to be careless in the slightest and focused 120%.
Under the perception of electromagnetic radar and magic power, Harrov's flight trajectory was extremely obvious, like a blue star, constantly approaching Lydia.
The two sides quickly closed the distance, and after crossing a safe distance of 1.5 kilometers, Lydia took the first step.
Several cylindrical bombs mounted on both sides of the fighter plane ejected tail flames identical to those of the fighter plane. Then they broke free and flew towards the oncoming Harrov at an unimaginable speed.
At the same moment, Lydia dragged the lever and controlled the fighter plane to climb rapidly upwards.
"So fast!" Harrov was also a little surprised when he saw several bombs flying towards him, and the same sonic boom clouds as those of fighter planes appeared around him.
Unfortunately, the accuracy was not very good, and none of these bombs were aimed directly at him.
Harrov, who was very interested, had no intention of evading. Instead, he stepped forward and built a powerful magic shield around his body, intending to test the strength of these attacks.
The speed of both sides was extremely fast, and it took less than three seconds to cross the distance of five thousand meters!
Harrov soon collided with one of the flying bombs. The explosive shock wave swept through the entire space. The magic shield covering his body was torn into pieces, but was immediately blocked by the legendary realm.
That's it...that's it?
Harrov was somewhat disappointed. An explosion of this magnitude alone could not hurt him, let alone pose a substantial threat to the rest of the legends.
But Harrov soon discovered something was wrong, because the fire produced by the explosion poured into his field at an extremely fast speed, and even made him feel an unspeakable threat.
"This is the Eternal Flame?!" Harrov realized this immediately, and his expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect Linn to use such a dangerous thing on a fighter plane.
Just when Harov noticed something was wrong, on the training field below, Dennis was proudly introducing the bombs loaded on the fighter planes to several speakers. He also installed a small propeller inside these bombs.
The flight principle is similar to that of a fighter plane. Due to its small size, the speed can reach more than four times the speed of sound!
Every time a bomb is detonated, the chlorine trifluoride existing in the form of compressed gas inside will explode after contact with the burning material in the outer layer. It can cover an area of 300 meters in radius. Multiple launches at the same time are enough to cover a large area. The airspace turned into a sea of fire, and even enemies flying at the speed of sound had no time to evade.
The only drawback is that it is too cumbersome to manufacture. Each sonic bomb is equivalent to a small fighter plane. If materials and labor are exchanged for money, it is worth at least five hundred gold coins!
In other words, Lidya destroyed several thousand gold coins with this attack!
Vittorio and others didn't care about the expense. If throwing a few thousand gold coins could threaten a legend, it would undoubtedly be a very cost-effective deal.
"Harrov is too careless." Aurora couldn't help but shook her head as she looked at Harrov whose head iron directly collided with the bomb.
Fortunately, although the eternal flame is powerful, to a certain extent, its characteristic of not burning anything is very restraint against energy bodies, but this is not the first time Harrov has faced this thing, even though he was caught off guard. , looked a little disgraced, but still successfully escaped the fate of being swallowed by the eternal flames.
"It's too wasteful to use up all the bombs in one go. Once you fail to hit the enemy, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, right?" Lin En frowned as he looked at the changing battle situation in the sky. He said with a frown.
Dennis naturally understands this shortcoming, but it is too difficult to aim and hit an enemy at high speed!
We can only rely on such a large-scale attack.
"In that case, why not create a bomb that can automatically track the enemy and adjust its trajectory in mid-air?" Lin En said thoughtfully.
Some psychic wizards can use magic to separate their consciousness and control huge golems. Maybe they can use this knowledge on aerial bombs, and maybe they can make tracking bombs.
Lin En combined the principles of missiles in his previous life and told Dennis how to make the flying bomb automatically approach and detect the enemy's position, and track it through infrared induction and radar detection.
Although they haven't been able to figure out computer and chip technology yet, it would be more useful to use psychic spells instead.
Listening to Linn's story, Dennis suddenly felt his eyes light up, and many new improvement plans immediately emerged in his mind. If it weren't for the fact that the testing of the new fighter jets had not yet been completed, he would have been eager to start research.
"Why don't we just call it a guided missile!" Linn said with a smile.
Anthony, Aurora and Vittorio listened to the discussion between the two, and for a moment they didn't know whether to be happy or helpless. Now this new type of fighter plane is already a big threat to the Legend. Once Dennis makes another guidance Missiles, that will definitely become more difficult.
In the sky at this moment, the battle situation was becoming more and more intense. After Harrov suffered another hidden loss, he also became serious. A strong thunder net covered the entire area in an instant.
However, the fighter planes flew too fast. After the previous attack failed, Lydia switched to a fighting state, keeping the distance between the two sides at all times, and using cannons to harass them from a distance.
Even though this didn't pose any actual threat to Harrov, it was as annoying as a fly.
There are only two ways to deal with such a high-speed enemy. The first is to use a faster one so that the opponent cannot avoid the attack. The second is to predict the position in advance and use a covering strike.
Harrov experimented again and quickly discovered that the simplest first method was actually the most useless.
The only things that can make supersonic fighters unable to avoid are thunder and laser spells.
It's a pity that the effects of both are very limited.
Electromagnetic spells will be blocked by the electromagnetic shield surrounding the fighter plane. The laser beam is fast enough, but its killing radius is limited. Even the fifth energy level laser beam will not be powerful after crossing a distance of 500 meters. It is greatly reduced and is not enough to break through the body with high-strength graphene coating on the surface.
The weakness is not without, that is, the new fighter aircraft does not have any protection against gravity manipulation, and this is precisely the magic that Harrov is best at.
After using gravity control to disrupt Lydia's perception of direction, and combining it with large-scale magic attacks, the winner was decided after about twenty minutes of fighting.
If Harrov hadn't stopped in time, the fighter plane would have been shot down.
Lydia, who had narrowly escaped death, returned to the flight to end the flight training. Even though she suffered a "miserable defeat" in the end, she could not hide her excitement. After all, she could deal with a legendary speaker for a while, which can be said to be a defeat. How glorious!
If you choose to fight or even run away from the beginning, the opponent may not be able to catch up with you.
Lin En and others are also extremely satisfied. An alchemical creation that can be mass-produced can reach such a level and contain a legendary-level combat power. It is already amazing.
What's more, fighter planes can continue to improve. Lydia's driving skills are still lacking, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
"There are only two weeks left before the three and a half month deadline. You have to work harder, Lydia. In a foreign land, those enemies will not be as merciful as Speaker Harrov." Linn patted Lidia. Dia's shoulder said.
Dennis hurriedly called on the alchemists to come forward for inspection and dragged the experimental machine back. He had a lot of inspiration and might be able to make new improvements to this thing, and he enthusiastically asked Lin En to participate. Come in.
"It's better, I can't spare any time recently." Linn shook his head and rejected Dennis's invitation.
Although he has finished writing the theory of relativity, according to Alok's report, the construction of magic base stations in various places has been completed, and the high-speed particle collider he has built is almost complete.
The importance of the God Becoming Ceremony and antimatter is obviously greater, which is directly related to whether they can defeat the Lord of the Dead.
