Chapter 232: Rain of Flames
When Charles left the Forge Sanctuary in March, the Wright sisters also traveled to the Kingdom of Rurik on Dragon Airlines.
The sisters, who were holding Charles's letter of introduction, soon met Rurika's colleague, and with Rurika's introduction and help, they were able to buy enough technology.
When they returned, the Wright sisters began to build a factory in the city, while her sister Vilbur continued to research and optimize products in her own workshop, while her sister Ovier was responsible for the construction of the factory and the ordering of related equipment.
However, a letter from Buckingtree Palace in April disrupted the plans of the Wright sisters and Charles, and Victoria, who had been following Charles, told them in the letter that they should get the bicycle and get the engine on the car as soon as possible, so as to support the front-line battle.
The queen also said that the land in the industrial zone south of the city will be granted to you free of rent for 20 years, and there are tax incentives, and she will see the results this year.
As a result, Marc Rose's "VF" series of bicycles were turned into motorcycles, and Charles, who had not yet reported to the training camp at the time, attached a schematic diagram of the corresponding motorcycle in his letter to the Wright sisters for their reference.
One day at the end of April, while the Wright sisters were eating breakfast and preparing to start their day's work, a military carriage picked them up.
One evening in mid-May, the Wright sisters stood on the lawn and watched as the soldiers of the Royal Court Special Air Service Regiment checked their equipment.
If someone were standing here, he would surely yell, "I'll you!"
Because now there are nine power delta wings parked in a row on the lawn.
Larger than the power delta used by a single person, the wings are made of magically reinforced round wooden strips, with wheels, streamlined baffles, and a comfortable driver's seat behind the three corners of the triangular chassis, which are driven by two cylindrical wind turbines whose gears drive a large three-bladed propeller.
Unlike previous test flights and training, these power delta wings will conduct their first real combat operation tonight.
The Wright sisters, who provided the power system for the trike, nervously shook each other's hands and prayed for a safe return for the warriors.
When the time came, the propellers began to rotate under the impetus of the wind turbines, and then the power delta wings, with signal lights on the wings, glided for some distance and rose into the sky.
In the absence of radar, positioning systems, and navigation systems, night sailing, especially at sea, is very dangerous, and the slightest mistake can lead to disorientation.
The warriors in the heavens can only rely on the compass, the stars in the sky, and their own experience to accomplish tonight's mission.
When on land, there are light signals along the way to guide the way, and instruct the heavenly warriors to bypass the fish-man camp that has gone deep into the land on the ground.
When we reached the sea, the disc-like moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight was reflected on the sea.
The triangulation technology of the magic communication system that Jenny had been thinking about had long been researched by the elves. Although the accuracy is not high and it takes a long time, it is barely enough.
This time, Jenny kept giving orders to the troops through the magic communication system, so that the elves finally discovered the location of the island more than fifty kilometers from the coast.
There was no wind tonight, which minimized the distance the bombing team could deviate from their destination due to the wind.
Without a wireless system, pilots in the sky can only communicate with each other to a limited extent through a lighting system.
Nine power delta wings shut down their wind turbines after reaching their maximum ceiling, gliding with the help of the wind at sea.
They don't know how long they have to fly at sea, and they can save a little.
Nine power delta wings are in the air in groups of three in a small triangle, and three groups in turn are lined up in a large delta wing.
They moved in an "S" shape through the air, searching for suspicious areas.
After more than an hour, a little light appeared on the surface of the sea. When they flew closer, they found that it was a small island about 300 meters long and 200 meters wide.
The air force in this world is basically zero, so people don't have any concept of light control.
After Jenny moved his headquarters to the island, his staff and half of the guards moved to the island.
In a small three-story building made of rocks on the island, the working fish-men have opened the windows and doorways to let the sea breeze take away the stuffiness of the room. At the same time, the lights in the room also shine through the doors and windows into the night sky.
In the camp not far from the small building, tents are made of cloth woven from large seaweed fibers, and the fish-man soldiers pass the time under the lights of the camp.
Tonight, the messenger in the communication room, who could be lazy for a while, came to the roof of the small building to blow the air with pay, while the receiver continued to sit in front of the receiver and wait for the shift to change.
After turning off the wind turbine, the silent power delta wing slowly swept through the air at an altitude of nearly 100 meters, completing the reconnaissance before the attack without alarming any fishmen.
More than ten minutes later, the power delta wing, which had completed the formation, flew to the island again at an altitude of less than fifty meters.
In this unscientific world, expensive storage rings can disrupt a lot of industries.
Although many middle-class nobles had to spend a lot of their savings to buy a storage ring, it was not a very valuable thing for a country.
This evening, the Southern Theater of Operations equipped each of the nine pilots with four storage rings filled with bombs.
The transmitter blowing the wind on the roof of the building was the first fishman to be killed, and the first 100-kilogram bomb to fall from a high altitude killed him.
The unabated bomb smashed a crater on the roof of the building, and then exploded with a "boom".
The map room under the floor was immediately cleaned by rubble and shockwaves, and in the blink of an eye, the floor was in shambles.
Next is the archives room, the pantry, Jenny's office, the magic communication room, the stairwell...... All were destroyed by the explosion of the bomb.
Immediately after that, more bombs were thrown into the building without the roof, and the not very thick floor could not stop the bombs from raging at all, and the staff officers and attendants on duty on the second floor were immediately engulfed in shock waves and flames.
When several bombs exploded outside the building, the building, which was already crumbling, collapsed in a sea of fire.
At the same time as the first bomb exploded on the roof of the small building, six other power delta wings lined up and plowed the bombs of the barracks not far away.
In less than a minute, the barracks was bombed by six storage rings, and the vast majority of the fishmen were blown up into the sky before they could figure out the situation.
It was just a round of bombardment, and the island was already in flames, and the two important targets were obviously out of action.
The fish-men in the sea immediately discovered the tragedy on the island, and the guards who had been stationed in the sea to prevent the assassination of Jenny's political enemies turned around and rushed to the island, and immediately devoted themselves to the work of extinguishing the fire and rescuing the wounded.
Since the commander had died in the small building, the guards in the sea were rushing to the island in separate battles.
Ten minutes later, the fire on the island was all extinguished, and the fish-people who came to the rescue were like sesame seeds on the baked cakes.
At this moment, the power delta wing made a few turns in the air and then came to the sky above the island again.
This time they threw away all the bombs in the storage ring.
No fish-man thought that the attack would come from the sky, and those who saw the bombs falling from the sky were killed.
Even the fish-men who were about to land on the beach were still in the water, and the power of the bombs in the water was much higher than in the air, and many of the fish-men near the island were killed by the shock wave from the sea.
A few hours later, the news reached Beechburg, and Jenny, who was about to preside over the memorial service for Sebastin, Bob, and Danio the next morning, was so angry that he fainted after learning that the forward headquarters had been inexplicably attacked, and that the staff team and the guards who had stayed behind were barely alive.
