Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Takeoff
Ersha smiled, but didn't rush to reply.
Mavis was confused and a little anxious. Could there be any conditions for joining?
"Teacher, you can do flying magic, right?" Su Lian asked.
"Yeah." Mavis.
"How about flying a circle first?" Su Lian asked with a smile.
"Ah? Is it possible!?" Mavis was suddenly excited.
"Of course." Su Lian.
…
Without further ado, let's go straight to the tarmac!
According to the normal design concept of propeller aircraft, a very long runway is required for both takeoff and landing, but this is not necessary here.
Although according to Su Lian's request, the plane's flight cannot use wind magic or other long-term auxiliary flight assistance, because that will consume a lot of magic power in the magic core. But it does not mean that flight assistance will not be used at all.
For example, in takeoff and landing.
The initial speed required for takeoff can be achieved by using wind magic to launch the catapult. To stop the required glide, the propeller can be stopped directly, and the wind magic reaction force can be used to stop the propeller in mid-air, and then the propeller can be used to float and land vertically!
In other words, magic-based aircraft can take off at short distances and land vertically!
It is for this reason that their aircraft test flights can be carried out in this small bay with a tank training ground.
"Come, this is Gaby Walton, the pilot with the best driving skills we have here. She doesn't have the side effects of the tank driver." Su Lian introduced briefly.
"Hello, Lord Liandel and Prince Ersha!" Gabi responded with a military salute!
He was selected from Ersha's private army, so he is more serious in this regard.
"The original plan was that I would take you flying, and then he would fly with me for a circle, but now let him take you." Su Lian said.
"Make sure to complete the mission!" Gabi.
The sense of reassurance brought by this serious attitude also eased Mavis's nervousness a little.
"Does this count as an invitation?" Nalin asked teasingly.
"Then don't go?" Su Lian looked at her with a little disdain.
The original plan was changed because of her. After taking her to drive the tank, I also realized that Nalin would definitely be interested in flying around with her.
…
The two aircraft are being debugged. After all, they are going to take off, and they need to be checked and debugged before each sortie.
"Report, no problem!" debugger.
"Yeah." Su Lian.
"Report! No fishermen were found in the sea, they have all returned to the port!" Someone also came to report from the other side.
After climbing over the mountain next to them, they found the only seaport in the territory, and naturally there were fishermen going out to sea to fish.
However, they have been here for so long, and now it is already evening. There may be monsters active in the sea at night, so fishermen usually return to the harbor before dusk.
"Add sound insulation magic." Su Lian ordered.
The magician in charge of this added soundproofing magic to the two planes.
This time they were going to leave the military port area. The humming sound of the propeller was still too loud. The sound could be heard far away in the completely empty sea.
At the same time, a large magic circle had actually been set up around the entire naval port.
One of the main effects of the magic circle is soundproofing, because there will be test firing of magic cannons here, and the noise will be very loud. There is also concealment magic to ensure that if there are magicians passing by from the sky, or people who happen to enter the mountains, they will not find that this place has actually been built into a military port.
The coverage also includes the only giant ship docked in the naval port.
"Get on, this model also has two seats." Su Lian.
"Yeah." Mavis simply released a levitation magic and flew into the back seat.
Gabi boarded the plane skillfully.
Su Lian also took Nalin to get on another plane.
…
"Let's take on a mission. Are there any targets in the designated area?" Su Lian asked.
"Report! There's more." Gabi.
"Then one person destroys three and then returns, is there any problem?" Su Lian.
"Okay, Lord Liandel!" Gabi.
"Then get ready." Su Lian.
The ground personnel also began to give take-off instructions, and under the flag signals specified by Su Lian, the two started the propellers.
The propeller speed is stable and all the magic indicators are stable!
Flag signal, take off!
Wind magic assistance, short-distance ricochet!
The fuselage pulls up its pitch angle and leaves the ground!
As Mavis was surprised by the strong wind, the plane she and Gabi were flying left the ground and quickly climbed to a higher altitude!
"It's actually so simple..." Mavis was indescribably surprised.
As a seventh-level great magician, she knew very well that the magic power consumed during takeoff was very small, which was nothing for a regular knight mecha. You have to know that this plane still used the most common low-level magic core!
It's incredible!
However, what Mavis didn't know was that during the development of the aircraft last year, the aerodynamic design caused him and Uncle Cam and others to lose a lot of hair.
Although Su Lian had built a small plane in his previous life, many of the parts were purchased. He had never built it completely from scratch. Especially since these had to meet combat needs, the requirements for aerodynamics were very high.
…
"Gabi, you take charge." Su Lian communicated using magic props.
"Yes, Lord Liandel!" Gabi responded: "Well, it's about to get dark, turn on the night vision magic aid!"
Gabi followed normal training and began the most standard command.
Su Lian asked him to do this for a simple reason, which was to show Mavis his most normal state. If he did it himself, it would be somewhat different in meaning.
Continue flying for a while.
"We are about to enter the designated airspace. Pay attention to the targets on the sea level and check the charging status of the magic cannon!" Gabi.
"Ready!" Su Lian responded normally.
At this moment, they have arrived at a sea area where magical beasts may appear, and fishermen here will not come. On the sea surface, there are buoys fixed by magic. As long as the magic props on the seabed do not move, the buoys will remain in a fixed position.
"Target found, ready to fight!" Gabi.
"The number of targets exceeds twenty. Based on high anti-aircraft firepower, maintain the current high attack altitude!"
Magic attacks have distance and height limits. After exceeding these limits, the magic power will decay, and the weaker the magic attack, the more so. Therefore, in ordinary wars, as long as traditional air cavalry maintain a certain height, the knight mechas on the ground will not be able to attack them.
"Lock on the target and attack freely!" Gabi.
"Received!" Su Lian.
Following the normal command, Su Lian lowered the fuselage, aimed directly at the buoy on the sea surface and fired the magic cannon!
The lightning element magic cannon was fired and hit the target accurately!
On the other side, Gabi also hit a buoy. After hitting it, the two quickly raised the fuselage and waited for the magic cannon to be charged before repeating the action again.
Very standardized.
But in Mavis's eyes, all this was shocking beyond words!
…
Because of Su Lian and the others.
It really was possible to create a flying weapon made of cheap, low-level magic cores, launching the attack of a third-level knight to destroy ground targets!
Air cavalry dominates the sky? Only special knight mecha can deal with it?
What a joke!
This relatively cheap mass-produced aircraft is the real future overlord of the sky!
