Humans are an extremely adaptable and malleable species, and when they are forced to face rudimentary aircraft with questionable reliability, these unlucky test pilots have no choice but to bite the bullet. Before they learned how to climb out of the cramped cockpit in the shortest possible time, and then open their life-saving parachutes to escape from the falling plane, more than a dozen aviation pioneers had been forced to choose to jump directly into the water to escape. It was easy to imagine the fate of such recklessness, and almost without exception they were broken by the huge impact of the impact on the surface of the water, breaking the bones of their legs, or other parts, and the most fortunate ones were also bruised.

So far, these wounds are still lying in hospital beds and chirping, because it is more economics for them to lie in the hospital and recuperate slowly than to consume expensive healing potions and use healing magic with the help of an already scarce priest.

The ensuing failures, setbacks and people's ridicule failed to crush Luo Zhengdao's firm will to push new equipment, he gritted his teeth and insisted on his own opinion, and he had to go through this dead end in the eyes of others.

Anyone can be a utopian who does not consider practicality, and the folk science and technology nerds of the old world have already swung their imagination to the extreme, but it is not so simple to transform a sketch idea into a real thing that can be used in reality, and sacrifice is an inevitable price.

In the design stage, it seems that the subtle links that are taken for granted are really at the practical application level, and there are inevitably many drawbacks and hidden dangers, one after another or out of control crashes, or directly in the take-off stage due to rocket motor failure fire and burning test aircraft, which can be said to be the best proof of this problem, Luo Zhengdao has full ideological preparation. He had great expectations for the first aircraft in the New World, and he took great pains in the design process, choosing the clumsy style of the early biplane seaplanes of the Old World, and discarding the third-generation model with its beautiful aerodynamic layout.

The frame technology testing machine is a skeleton made of tough, lightweight high-quality wood, covered with magic cloth on the wings to obtain lift, and finally wrapped in a thick and strong canvas on the surface of the fuselage, while the structure is reinforced with lightweight alloy parts and cable cables in the stressed parts of the fuselage.

Behind the stubby fuselage of this technical testing machine, in a machine shaped like a revolver's magazine, a dense array of disposable rocket nozzles is stored to replace the propeller motor to output power. The pilot can use the guò cockpit operating system to ignite all the rockets individually or simultaneously, thus providing a constant and relatively stable source of power for the aircraft, and in the best case of this, these rockets can continue to drive the aircraft over the blue sky for half an hour. The nozzles that had been depleted of the alchemy mixture would be unlocked and thrown away by the mechanism, ensuring that the load of the aircraft would be effectively reduced, and such a complex mechanism would seem to the natives to be no different from juggling.

Hanging under the fuselage of the aircraft are two large cigar-shaped sea driftwood pontoons, which are a very necessary optimization design, and these two seemingly cumbersome big guys are ready to glide smoothly on the surface of the sea when the plane runs out of fuel and make a forced landing, rather than plunging headlong into the depths of the Aetheric Sea and becoming a suicide submersible with no return.

In line with the principle of success in doing big things without informality, Luo Zhengdao negotiated with the Yaling delegation with a shy face, transferred funds and materials from Yaling's military aid, and built twelve technical verification machines of the same style in one go.

With such a huge amount of resources invested in the early stage, it is not clear how much of the technical risk such a Great Leap Forward exhibition takes, and it is also disastrous if something goes wrong in the middle.

Under the questioning gaze of the people, it is not surprising that in the first three days of test flight activities, ten planes were dropped in a row, and among the test pilots attracted by the high reward offered by Luo Zhengdao, more than two-thirds of them have been sent to the hospital to recuperate in bed, and the rest of them simply went home, and only three or two big cats and kittens were left among the pilots who were able-bodied and could still persevere. Fortunately, most of the life-threatening problems in the original design of the aircraft have been found and successfully resolved, and the only two remaining demonstrators once set an excellent record of flying for ten minutes without accidents, which made Luo Zhengdao, who was busy in a hurry, feel a long-lost sense of joy.

At the same time as the aircraft, the aircraft-carrying warship was also on Luo Zhengdao's schedule, similar to the old world of the kind of through-deck aircraft carrier, in the new world that needs to be driven by sails, it is absolutely impossible to appear, the first question faced by the designers is where are you going to put the mast?

It is important to know that even sailboats rely on sails for long-distance voyages, and ships that do not use sails at all can operate in offshore or inland water environments such as rivers.

If it is said that the alchemy mixture of the Goblin First Empire Ming is used to drive a light and agile flying machine, replacing the flying beasts that are too expensive and not easy to serve to form an air cavalry, Luo Zhengdao's aircraft plan can still be praised for its ingenuity. Dare to propose to use a relatively cheap but not cheap alchemy mixture to drive a warship, such an uncontrolled act of burning money can only be described as spending money, the elven federation navy, which has the world's largest economic strength, still does not dare to hope for it, let alone a small group of human exiles to establish a force?

Knowing that there was little hope for the future, Luo Zhengdao, who was really unwilling in his heart, estimated the cost and calculated how much alchemy mixture to burn to make a battleship-level ship run. Realizing that this was destined to be an astronomical amount, Luo Zhengdao, who was as earthy as an earth, immediately threw this unreliable idea out of the clouds, damn it, no matter how rich the uncle is, he can't play like a loser!

In short, after countless twists and turns, and a total of more than two months, the pirates followed Luo Zhengdao's instructions to build the first aircraft carrier and its carrier-based aircraft formation in the Wake Reef dock. The most iconic straight-through beveled deck and island architecture need not be imagined, this ship is a simple product that approximates the early seaplane carriers. The basic combat process is as follows: each time before starting a combat mission, the aircraft is lifted from the hangar on the lower deck by a human-powered crane on the aircraft carrier, and then lifted horizontally to the surface of the sea beyond the ship's side. Later, the pilot climbs into the cabin to check the control equipment, and the ground crew is responsible for igniting the rocket engine and following the aircraft slowly taxiing over the sea until the lift generated by the wings meets the take-off requirements.

The aircraft carrier battle group of the old world is the cornerstone of building world hegemony, and it is difficult for Luo Zhengdao's grass platform team to even be counted into the actual combat effectiveness of the navy!

The unpredictable wind of Mana on the seven seas is difficult to grasp, the short barrel fuselage of the seaplane, and the reinforced structure of the wings can resist the wind of Mana with little strength. If it weren't for the Goblin Empire's implementation of the policy of moving the border and forbidding the sea, the originally busy shipping routes of the Sea of Stars would have been almost cut off, and Luo Zhengdao would have contributed money and efforts to help them marry wives and settle down on Wake Reef in order to appease the pirates under him. How can these guys who have family ties change their minds? For such a high-risk and boring job as a test pilot, I'm afraid that Luo Zhengdao can't find volunteers to apply for no matter how much money he has.

Witnessing the success of the first sea trial of the aircraft carrier he single-handedly managed, Luo Zhengdao was naturally happy, and he turned his head to Zola Hegel, who had taken the time to observe the experimental use of the aircraft carrier, and said:

"Hey, Zola, how are you feeling?"

The seasoned pirate leader did not answer Luo Zhengdao's question directly, his eyes wandered, and he said:

"It's hard to say! I've seen Griffin Riders and Pegasus Riders and Giant Bat Riders, and whatever you come across, your new toys are dangerous. ”

Hearing Zorrah Hegel's words, several high-ranking people next to him nodded in unison, obviously they were more confident in the traditional air knights of the New World than these new toys made by Luo Zhengdao.

As the saying goes, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. Powerful flying monsters will never succumb to the crotch of a weakling, ordinary war horses that eat grass still have to be picky about knights, and those monsters that have never eaten vegetarian are even more unlikely to allow the weak to ride lightly on themselves, so being able to become an empty knight in the new world is undoubtedly a great praise and praise for personal ability and courage.

At this time, Luo Zhengdao was old and cheeky, and Quan Dang didn't see those contemptuous eyes, smiled to himself, and said:

"Haha, you're right, but the cost of my plane is very low and can equip a large number of troops, which of those air knights you said can form an army and organize activities?"

Hearing this, the well-informed boatswain Zola Hegel was quite unimpressed by Luo Zhengdao's thick face and his weaponism, and pursed his lips and said:

"A hundred sheep combined can't defeat a ferocious wolf."

As soon as he heard this, Luo Zhengdao smiled even more happily, he patted Zola's shoulder hard, and said in a serious tone:

"Hehehehe, it's too early to judge whether my plane is a sheep or not! Let's continue to watch the exercise! ”

As he spoke, Luo Zhengdao turned to the herald on the side and said:

"Order the fighter to take off and prepare to attack the target ship!"

"Woo woo ......"

At the sound of an order, the signal flag flew quickly, and a verification aircraft with the number O12 parked next to the aircraft carrier ignited the rocket at the tail to boost the take-off, and the plane gradually taxied, leaving two straight forward tracks on the water. Due to the need to strengthen the structure, the specially thickened and lengthened goblin rocket is made of fragile ceramic materials in the nozzle part, which can not only withstand high temperature burning but also effectively reduce economic costs. In this way, the sound of the rocket's burning jet is no longer the iconic high-pitched whistling sound of the goblin rocket, but into a relatively low and continuous roar, like a series of muffled thunder exploding in the sky.

After taxiing for hundreds of meters, the seaplane suddenly leaped upwards lightly, broke away from the sea, circled around the aircraft carrier, and then turned around and rushed to the target ship not far away.

"Dive - Drop the bomb!"

Silently reciting the tactical process he had formulated in his heart, under the gaze of Luo Zhengdao, seaplane O12 changed its flight attitude and began to dive downward, which was the scene he expected to see.
