Act XII

Several high-precision automatic machines, overseen by Taylor and Swift, were soon operational, and the accuracy of these automatic machines was far beyond the industrial level, and they could be used to build more general-purpose machine tools to increase productivity.

As a result, many of the solutions that had previously been abandoned because they were too difficult to process have been given a new lease of life, and in just one week, Greenwich's industry seemed to have taken a big step forward.

Preparations for the Universal Exposition were well underway, and it was only by this time that it became clear that Greenwich was not so crowded, the streets occupied by discarded machinery had been emptied, the narrow alleys had become wider and brighter, and the security guards had registered all the floating population, but had caught a number of fugitives who tried to fish in troubled waters.

The huge mechanical city still revolves around the lake at its own pace, and the sunlight shines through the city and falls on the dense tents around the lake, leaving a large shadow.

On the outskirts of the city, Rosen's experiment is coming to an end.

"Hey, man, can this big guy really fly?"

Swift held the blueprint in his hand and looked at the oddly shaped flying machine on the stand on the lawn in front of him.

In contrast to the structure of traditional floating warships, this aircraft has the same streamlined layout and wings as a bird, and the wheelhouse is unusually small enough to accommodate two people, and the air intakes under the fuselage are black, which contrasts sharply with the gray fuselage.

To be honest, if it is a flying machine that uses magic, it can fly even if it is made into a bathtub, but Swift knows very well that there are quite few parts of this flying machine that are applied to magic, and the most critical power part is almost entirely composed of machinery.

"Of course I can fly, it's my pride. ”

Rosen said, waving his hand and signaling that the test flight could begin.

He sat in the cab, looking at the data displayed by magic, but he had an inexplicable sense of incomprehension.

After all, Rosen couldn't tell these master craftsmen that he was now going to fly a fighter in this magical world.

"The tail is normal, the rudders are normal, the flaps are normal, the engine is ready for ignition, three, two, one. ”

Bang –

The fan blades began to spin at high speed, and the air flowing from the air intake was compressed, mixed with the fuel in the engine, and a huge burst of energy burst out, and from the vent in the rear of the fighter, blue tail flames erupted, distorting the surrounding scenery.

"The engine is working properly, and the next take-off time is left to the pilot. ”

Rosen muttered to himself, and at the same time felt that he should find one or two girls with sweet voices to be navigators.

"At this time, shouldn't you shout 'Lawson, Raven, attack'......"

He said half-jokingly, then pushed the joystick, and the fighter began to accelerate along the makeshift runway, and then, as Rosen pulled up, the plane cut through the air and flew into the sky.

Swift let out an exclamation, the speed of the flying machine was much faster than he expected, and it was almost ready to fly at full strength up to the silver level, which seemed to confirm Swift's thoughts, Lawson accelerated sharply, and a shock wave rippled across the surface of the fighter, followed by a bang.

The fighter broke the sound barrier.

However, this acceleration did not last long, because the main purpose of this test flight was to test the performance of all aspects of the fighter, so Lawson only accelerated for a moment and slowed down.

Immediately, Lawson made several air maneuvers to prepare to end this test flight.

But the next moment, a red alert sounded on the panel of the aircraft.

"Something approaching at high speed?"

Rosen looked at the scans on the radar, and his own perception extended and got the same feedback.

The three red dots are approaching their side, and the speed seems to be very fast, and the strength of those who can move like this must be good.

Soon, Rosen relied on his strong perception to see the true face of the other party.

Those were three knights riding dragons.

This wyvern is a specialty of the Wendland Federation, belonging to the wurm species, small in size, but fast in flight, in the Wendland Federation, the Wyvern Knight is a fairly high-level class.

These knights use heavy crossbows for long-range raids, as well as carrying large amounts of mana explosives for bombing missions, while at close range, the Iron Lance is their melee weapon.

Rosen saw that the three knights were wearing red armor, and the wyvern under his crotch also had bright red scales, which was obviously the elite cavalry of the Wendland Federation.

People from various countries have come to Greenwich one after another, and the Wendland Federation, as an old-school powerhouse, is naturally not far behind, their camp should be stationed near here, Lawson has not dealt with them, and he doesn't understand why these Wyvern Knights came here at this moment.

He also wanted to say hello, but the other party didn't seem to think so.

Brush Brush Brush –

Several rays of light shot out of the Wyvern Knight's hand, magic arrows fired from the heavy crossbow.

The arrows are fast, and after being blessed with magic, they ignore wind resistance and are very accurate.

Lawson directly deflected the fuselage and dodged three arrows with a nimble evasive move.

Bang Bang Bang –

The arrow lost its target and exploded, causing a turbulent current.

"Looks like I'm not ready to talk. ”

Lawson glanced at it, then accelerated his climb, temporarily shaking off the three Wyvern Knights.

"Then let's test the combat function. ”

Saying that, Rosen did not rush to land, but turned on several switches and activated the fire control system of the fighter.

The fighter's armed vehicle was not fully loaded, but fortunately, this piece of Lawson had been prepared in Isrul before, so it was better to take it directly.

Looking at the weapon panel, there was only one cannon, two hundred rounds of live ammunition, and four guided magic missiles, which were powerful enough to penetrate ordinary magic barriers.

The cannon probably couldn't penetrate the protective walls of these knights, but it was enough to disrupt them.

But Rosen's biggest problem right now is that the other party is biting tightly behind him, and he is in a disadvantageous state.

"In general, how to deal with this situation. ”

Of course, Lawson could just drop the fighter and fly out to drag the three dragon knights down to ask him about it, but he thought that now was a good opportunity to test the fighter's performance, so Lawson decided to play with these dragon knights.

"First of all, we have to get rid of these people. ”

As Rosen accelerated, the three Wyvern Knights behind him were also accelerating, the distance between the two sides was decreasing little by little, and at the moment when he was about to enter the Wyvern Knight's attack range, Rosen raised the joystick suddenly.

Bang –

As if hitting some invisible wall, the whole plane suddenly took on an attitude close to ninety degrees, the nose of the plane was raised, and the huge drag caused the fighter to reduce its speed sharply, and at the same time, the three dragon riders did not have time to slow down, and passed straight past Lawson.

When he staggered by, Rosen could even clearly see the stunned expressions on the faces of the three Wyvern Knights.

At the moment when the opponent surpassed him, Lawson controlled the fighter to return to its original posture, tightly biting the tail of the three-headed dragon knight, and the offensive and defensive momentum turned around in an instant.

"It's called, Cobra Maneuver. ”

Lawson put his finger on the trigger and aimed it at the back of one of the Wyvern Knights.
