Gao Wen reacted for two seconds before finally showing an uncontrollable joyful smile.
Amber was still chattering happily a second ago, but she stopped in a daze after seeing Gao Wen's expression.
She seldom saw Gao Wen so openly hiding his emotions, and rarely saw the latter laugh so happily.
He never smiled so much when he was crowned.
So is the "aircraft" such an important thing
"Let's go and have a look." Gawain grabbed Amber and strode towards the door. "It's in the eastern suburbs test site, right?"
"Oh, oh yes... Hey, let go, I will go by myself, don't pull... don't carry... don't pinch me under your arm again! I will..."
…
In the suburban test site, the "Dragoon", which successfully completed its first flight experiment, has already landed smoothly on the open space. A large group of technicians are busy around this flying machine, checking every part of it again and again. again. As the general manager of the project, Rebecca also took part in the battle in person. With the tools in her hand, she circled the mechanical cabin. There were several oil stains on her face and stains on her clothes, but she smiled louder than everyone on the scene. Brilliant - happy like a child.
Maggie stood quietly by the side, looking at the busy and beaming scene in front of her, and her eyes fell on Rebecca from time to time—over the years, Maggie has seen all kinds of human nobles, but Rebecca like this This "princess" is the only one she has ever seen in her life.
"Perfect, perfect, there is no problem at all! No breakage, no falling off, no overheating, none of the problems that have appeared before..." A magician jumped down from the connecting shaft of the dragon wing servo, his face full Excited, "The new structure works!"
"That's right!" Rebecca also got out from under the main cone of the aircraft, her eyes sparkling, "It's not in vain that we have tested thousands of times..."
Maggie knew that not all of the thousands of tests Rebecca was talking about were actual test flights, most of them were done in the origin lab—but although it was a simulated environment, everyone on the team had put in a lot of hard work. The real deal.
With this effort, Rebecca had already come to Maggie, she smiled like a flower: "Hey, hey, Maggie, how does it feel to fly?"
Maggie was taken aback for a moment, then she lowered her head a little bluntly, and said politely: "It feels very... good, Your Highness."
She was always uncomfortable with the behavior of Her Royal Highness, who was not aristocratic at all, but in any case, she represented the face of the Duke of the North, and she still had to work hard to be courteous.
"Don't be so tense all the time, we're not in the city, and Aunt Hetty and the ancestors can't see, so it's okay to relax a little bit," Rebecca patted Maggie's shoulder carelessly, and slapped down Afterwards, she belatedly said "Oops", she quickly pulled her hand back, glanced at the oil on her hand, wiped it vigorously on her robe, and then patted Maggie on the other shoulder, "Experiment There are no titles in the room, this is what we agreed from the beginning."
Maggie looked up and glanced behind the other party, with a strange expression on her face: "... But, Your Highness, I think the necessary etiquette is still required..."
After hearing this, Rebecca couldn't help puffing her mouth: "Why do you speak like my aunt. Let me tell you, it's easy to get old if you are always tense like this. Aunt is usually too tense, with dark circles He is getting heavier every day, and the ancestor is so serious all day long, I can see his wrinkles... "
Maggie looked up again, wisely chose to keep her mouth shut, and silently stepped aside.
Several technicians around also raised their heads to look behind Rebecca, showing strange expressions, and retreating slightly in tacit understanding.
Rebecca looked around, felt the atmosphere, thought for a while, and came to a conclusion—
Mom, I'm cold.
The experienced princess knew what to do without being reminded by others. She wiped both hands on the robe, then hugged her head, and squatted down slowly: "Can you not start this time..."
Rebecca just squatted halfway, a powerful big hand stretched out from behind, lifted her up by the collar: "Stop squatting, Hetty is not here."
When Rebecca heard that it was Gawain's voice, she quickly turned her head to take a look while being held up by the collar, only to see the helpless ancestor and Amber who was following the ancestor—just the two of them, Aunt Hetty Sure enough not.
Her expression that had been restrained just now suddenly became bright again: "Master Zu, you are here!!"
The ancestor has always spoiled himself very much. Although he usually looks serious, he is different from his aunt's seriousness - he will not knock himself on the head. Rebecca is very clear about this.
Since she was a child, she has been very optimistic. This optimism is mainly reflected in her ability to find sunshine by herself, and then shine herself.
In fact, Gao Wen still wanted to hit the girl's head. After all, as far as he knew, Rebecca hadn't been beaten for three days. Judging from experience, this stupid roe deer's current mentality should be wandering in the upper house and setting it on fire. Among the mountains, but before that, his attention had already fallen on the strange looking machine next to him.
He stared at the device for a long time, which was completely different from the "aircraft" in his memory in terms of shape and principle, and his thoughts fluctuated. After a long time, he said softly: "This is our aircraft..."
Really different, totally different.
It is an inverted cone-shaped device similar to a top. The diameter of the main body is about two to three meters. There is a metal ring engraved with runes floating on the lower half of the vertebral body—the ring should be the anti-gravity ring. The force field continues to float at the root of the vertebral body, controlling the lifting and gravity balance of the entire device, while the sides and top of the device have a half-moon-shaped main wing and a steering wing imitating a dragon's wing, which makes it look like a whole. It looks like a huge, upright steel insect, a little weird, but full of the unique beauty of the magic industry.
Gao Wen couldn't see the shadow of "aircraft" on it.
This is the aircraft that Rebecca led the magicians to create based on the technology and logic of this world after he let go of his experience on Earth and only told the technical team about the application requirements and some performance characteristics.
It was a bold attempt, and the result proved Gao Wen's long-standing thinking: the magical world's own technical route is the most suitable technical route here.
It's not that he didn't think about copying the planes on the earth to this world. After all, although many rules in this world are quite different from those on the earth, at least this world also has wind and birds, which means that aircraft based on aerodynamics have It was possible, but he didn't do it in the end.
Because he doesn't know everything, even with enhanced memory ability and huge "miscellaneous knowledge", he still has areas that he is not good at, and aircraft manufacturing is undoubtedly one of them.
In the early stage, some simple machinery may be pieced together by relying on the miscellaneous knowledge in his mind, but the aircraft is too professional, and Gawain knew that the rough sketches he could recall might only mislead his technicians ——What's more, he still has to face the fact that due to the unique elemental spells, this world's technical foundation in the field of aerodynamics is blank, but there is a ready-made anti-gravity technical route here.
Instead of drawing a bunch of sketches full of mistakes by yourself, and then asking technicians to light up a technology tree from scratch on this basis, it is better to let them derive and transform the existing technologies in this world—after all, this world There are flying units such as the Griffin Knight and the Giant Eagle Knight, and there are more powerful mages who can fly directly in the air. The mortals are not blank in the sky. Under this premise, even if he spends a few years creating The original aircraft based on aerodynamics may not be able to compete with the existing air units in this world. It is better to try it boldly and let Rebecca and her technical team do it freely, directly challenging the mature anti-gravity air combat platform .
The result of this bold attempt is this weird-looking "Dragoon" whose performance absolutely exceeds that of the early earth aircraft.
Relying on anti-gravity vertical take-off and landing, highly flexible and maneuverable, able to fight in the air with well-trained Griffin Knights and achieve suppression, using dragon wing runes for "magic wave drive", the highest speed exceeds the giant eagle of the elves, and this At the same time, the wind language runes all over the cone shell and the rune group of the dragon wing itself also solved the wind resistance problem caused by its weird shape. If coupled with advanced magic weapons and communication devices, it will undoubtedly become a The most advanced and powerful air power of this era.
Of course, it must still have many shortcomings. As a brand new product, and it is the most complex and advanced technology product, it still needs to undergo a lot of tests, and it will take some time before mass production. This path has finally been proved to be able to go through.
The structure of this aircraft will become the cornerstone of Cecil's series of flying technologies in the future, and the experience it has accumulated may be able to bless him for a hundred years...
"Yes, this is the aircraft we built..." Rebecca raised her head with a proud smile on her face, "It took a lot of effort!"
Immediately afterwards she said: "My lord ancestor, do you want to give it an official name? After all, 'Dragon Cavalry' is just a code name..."
"The official name is Dragoon. I think the code name itself is vivid enough and pleasant to hear," Gawain laughed. "Referring to the Warhammer Tank, this type of anti-gravity aircraft is named Dragoon-I."
Having said that, his heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help looking at Maggie who was standing quietly beside him.
"Speaking of which, as a dragon, what do you think of the name 'Dragon Cavalry'?"
Maggie thought for a moment in confusion, then shook her head: "I don't have any idea... Why do you ask that, Your Majesty?"
"I'm just worried that this name will make the Dragon Clan unhappy." Gao Wen laughed a little embarrassedly. "I didn't think much about it when I decided on the code name before, and I didn't ask your opinion. At this moment, I suddenly feel a little inappropriate. You Dragon Clan Don't you think this word is offensive? After all, it implies the meaning of using a dragon as a mount... "
Maggie was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled lightly after a while.
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about what the dragons of Tarrond would think, but as far as I know, humans on the continent have played important roles in various epic stories and myths and ghost stories for hundreds of years or even longer. time, and most of the time this important role is not very bright-dragons rob castles, hijack princesses, usurp property, threaten kingdoms, brave adventurers and knights fight off dragons, occupy dragon lairs, and even turn dragons into monsters. Mount, so many years have passed, have you seen those bards and their families who made up stories being hunted down by Tarrond or the Holy Dragon Principality?"
"... It seems that there is really no..."
"Dragon, I don't care about human stories, because no matter how long human stories are passed on, they will soon go with the wind. Even the relatively short-lived 'degraded dragon descendants' of the Holy Dragon Principality have plenty of leeway to watch." Even the most exciting legends of human beings will be reduced to dust," Maggie said with a slight smile, but then added, "Of course, the 'protagonist' who has returned to the stage of history like you is probably the most important thing for a dragon." It was a surprise…”
Gao Wen: "..."
It's really surprising that the guys in the Mithril Treasury who made their fortunes by encroaching on entrusted objects jumped around for a while because of such a dead and resurrected entruster. It is said that not only did thousands of graves be dug in a month, I also recruited hundreds of souls by the way...
Maggie also seemed to find this topic a bit weird, and shifted it back quite bluntly: "So generally speaking, when it comes to these 'trivial offenses', the dragon's attitude is far more free and easy than you imagine. Of course, I also just It is based on my own cognition. As for what the "orthodox" dragons in Tarrond will think after seeing the "Dragon Cavalry"... I am afraid that only the "senior agent" who is familiar with you can give the answer gone."
The figure of my little pony appeared in Gao Wen's mind.
I don't know what the blue dragon from the dragon kingdom will think after knowing that humans imitated the principle of dragon wings to create an aircraft called "Dragon Cavalry".
I don't even know how she would respond if she asked Melita whether the Dragon Clan would be ridden by people—would she fly into a rage, or make a lot of sense
Gao Wen thought about it carefully for a long time, and suddenly felt that the answer might not be "7 yuan for the start, 500 yuan for the whole day, a toll for crossing the bridge, and extra money for night trains"...
