In the experimental tent of the Combined Laboratory, in the imperial capital of Crewe, the cockpit of the airship that had been assembled for a month was being put to the final touch, and hundreds of goblin engineers and human magic professors were checking the area they were responsible for with the drawings.

Omiqi, the general leader of the airship project, debugged the controller at the cockpit console, and explained to Princess Phyllis beside him: "Your Highness, it will take three days at most for our cockpit to be completed. ”

Phyllis is the person in charge of the ignition circle and control circle of the airship project, and the successful development of the fire-based magic puppet has made her an authority in this regard, and the identity of the imperial princess makes it easy for her to parachute directly into the airship project halfway through the airship project and become one of the people in charge.

"The formation of the hot air balloon section will also be completed in three days, so ... All that's left is the final connection circle, which can be complicated. Phyllis had two drawings in her hand, one for the cabin and the other for the hot air balloon part.

The structure of the airship is too large, and although Phyllis has accumulated considerable experience in the construction of control and ignition circles when building fire magic golems, perhaps it is the painful lesson of the fire magic golem's many failures, and such a huge control circle construction, which makes her full of worry and fear about the upcoming connection process, and her tone is not as confident as Omiqi.

"You can rest assured that it doesn't matter if the circle connection fails a few times, the only advantage of this airship is that it has enough space and enough room to operate. Omiki didn't dare to urge Phyllis, let alone threaten her like any other goblin.

"The war in Felder has been going on for a month, and most of the territory, including Felder City, has fallen to the undead army, and now the Allies have to retreat to Cooktown and Fort Selek. Phyllis bit her lip and said, "The reason why my brother didn't order the attack is because of the air power of the Undead Legion..."

"Your Highness, the airship take-off is only the preliminary work of this project, and we will also set up artillery, magic guide guns, etc. on the airship later, I admit that the war ahead urgently needs air power, but everything we have in our hands can be solved without being in a hurry. Omich gave a rare look of seriousness.

Phyllis didn't like Omiqi's words, she felt as if the goblin engineer in front of her was accusing her, and when the other party wanted to continue talking, she put down the drawings in her hand and preemptively said: "I'll go to the factory outside the city first, the ignition device of the hot air balloon and the construction of the magic golem factory are at the most critical time." ”

"You are free. Omich shrugged.

Phyllis frowned at Omic's attitude, glanced at the other people in the cockpit and turned away decisively.

Collier, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately saluted when he saw the princess leaving, and when the princess stepped out of the cockpit, he moved to Omiqi's side, "How long will it take for the airship to be completed?"

"That doesn't seem like a concern you should be concerned about, right?" Omich glanced at Collier, not paying attention to him.

"You have not participated in the meeting of the Military Aircraft Department for a month, and I am here today to inquire on behalf of the Military Aircraft Department. Cowlier stretched out his hand to open the blueprint in front of Omich, "The war on the front line is tight, the Allied forces intend to organize a counteroffensive in the next month, the air power of the undead legion is getting stronger and stronger, and Your Majesty has personally sent a letter to inquire about the progress of the airship project." ”

Omiki gestured to the busy cockpit, "You see..."

"I'm not Princess Phyllis, I'm here to ask you on behalf of the Military Aircraft Department, and every word you say will become the basis for Your Majesty and the Military Department to formulate a battle plan, so... You'd better think it through. ”

When Omich heard Cowlier's warning, he immediately restrained his joking expression, and after two or three minutes of silence, he said: "If it is just flying, it should be possible in three days, but His Majesty's order is to set up artillery on it to achieve air strikes against enemy airships, which is much more difficult." He put the blueprint in his hand under Collier's nose, "This is only a theory at the moment, I can only guarantee that it can fly, but other functions require at least hundreds of test flights." ”

"Just fly... The opinion of the Military Aircraft Department is that there is no need to be busy setting up artillery, and that it should be replaced by magic guns. Cowlier lifted the blueprint that blocked Shuang'an, lowered his head and looked at Omich, "Your Majesty has agreed. ”

"Even then, we need to conduct regular flight tests. ”

"I can't wait that long, as long as I can fly!"

"Are you sure?" Omiqi put down the drawings in his hand, his expression gradually becoming serious, "Airships are not just built and can be used, we also need to set up airship maintenance bases and docking points in various places. He pointed to the cockpit being assembled, "It's just a theoretical product of ours right now, and we need more practical data to modify it, otherwise I can't guarantee that there won't be accidents during the flight." ”

"The war on the front line didn't give us much time, so I'll ask you a word ... Now, according to the drawings in your hand, can it be mass-produced?" Collier looked at the busy engineers and magicians in the cockpit as he spoke.

"Up to one a month!"

"Your Majesty's order is to have at least three planes a month, and production must start in half a month. "You only have half a month to debug, and after half a month, regardless of whether the airship is qualified or not, as long as it can fly, it must be put into battle." ”

"I need more mages and goblin engineers!" Omiqi asked.

"All the Circle Professors in the Empire will be at your disposal, and the Military Aircraft Department will recruit enough engineers through the three princes of the Clarkley Islands. Cowlier's answer was in the affirmative.

"I need to see these people you said in three days. ”

"No problem!" Collier nodded decisively, and then changed his tone and said, "However, other projects in the joint laboratory cannot be stopped, magic barriers, magic energy muskets, cannons, and explosives all need to be supplied to the front line. ”

"Miss Nema will take care of these things. ”

"You'd better change someone. Cowlier frowned when he heard Nema's name, "Miss Nema's experiments are good, but the management is terrible... I can recommend someone to you. ”

"Who?"

"Jared Marat!"

"Who is he?"

"The grandson of Saike-Marat, whose father is now Deputy Secretary-General of the King's Office, helps Her Majesty the Queen in the affairs of Kawal Fort. ”

"A good candidate. Omiqi grinned.

"Haha!" Collier laughed, "Also, you'd better attend the daily meetings of the Military Aircraft Department on time, Her Majesty has mentioned you several times, you should know that the Queen is not as easy to talk as Her Majesty, and if you don't show up again, you may be removed from the Military Aircraft Department." ”

"I only have half a month, but you have given me half a year's workload, do you think I still have time to attend the boring regular meetings of the Military Aircraft Department every day?"

"Boring meetings?Do you know why Jared Marat was placed with you?" Collier lowered his voice, "Are you just fiddling with your machines?"

"I suddenly miss a little of His Majesty's time in Crewe. Omiqi helplessly spread his hands.

"It's better to say less about that. Cowlier spoke with a warning tone.

After that, the old mage took a step back and said, "There are still some things that I need to deal with at the non-commissioned officer school, so... I've got to get out first, remember... I must attend the regular meeting of the Military Aircraft Department tomorrow. ”
