Chapter 542: Supersonic Fighter Test Flight and Tracking Missile!
In the southwest of the royal capital, on a large flight training ground that has been divided, five speakers including Lynn, Harrov, and Anthony, as well as a group of great wizards who participated in the production of new fighters, gathered here to watch the first test flight together.
"This is the supersonic fighter you developed? Looks good! Harrov couldn't help but admire the flat behemoth in front of him, which was more than six meters tall, eighteen meters long, and had a wingspan of more than twelve meters.
Anthony, Aurora and others also just arrived at the training ground, and they were attracted by the new fighter's perfectly aerodynamic, streamlined body, and the metal shell made of Mithril glittered in the midday sun, which was unforgettable at a glance.
Although Lynn had expected it, it was still beyond his expectations that Dennis would be able to create it in a few months, and it can only be said that the wizard with the atomic-level control ability has too much of an engineering advantage.
It is said that in order to be able to build this fighter as soon as possible, the Alchemy Research Institute has mobilized five great wizards and hundreds of official wizards.
"A few of the Speakers, Master Dennis, are you ready to begin?" The halfling girl was ready early, climbed into the cabin, put on protective gear, and couldn't wait to ask.
Lynn looked at Dennis, saw him nod and let Lydia get started!
The wizards present also looked at each other, and even Dennis couldn't help but be a little nervous, even though he was very confident in his creation, but it was indeed the first time that a manned test flight was made.
"Hum~" With a deafening roar, Lydia pressed the start switch, and in an instant, a long tail flame flew out from the two huge vents behind the fighter.
The strong thrust made the halfling girl hit the cushion behind her heavily, but fortunately, Lydia, who participated in the production of the fighter, was prepared and did not panic, and grabbed the lever to maintain her balance.
Under the gaze of everyone, the silver fighter plane quickly crossed the runway and flew into the sky just two seconds later.
"What a speed!" Tim, the great wizard on the side, sighed and said.
"This hasn't started yet!" Dennis shook his head, the new fighter has two modes, subsonic and supersonic speed, and when it comes to takeoff, the speed can only be regarded as sparse and ordinary!
At the same time, at an altitude of thousands of meters, Lydia flew smoothly for a while, fully adapted to the control of the fighter, and then solemnly activated the supersonic mode.
The thrusters inside the fighter suddenly operated rapidly, and a large amount of compressed hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas was poured into the combustion chamber together, and then detonated instantly, and the high-temperature and high-pressure air flow flew out with the pipe, and after accelerating through the Laval tube, the speed increased by several grades again.
The tail flame, which was originally half a meter long, instantly swelled to more than two meters, and a violent sonic boom resounded in the sky, presenting an incomparably magnificent scene in front of Harrov and the others.
The silver fighter plane crossed the sky at unimaginable speed, breaking the sound barrier and forming a sharp cone-shaped airflow layer behind the fuselage, which, combined with the long tail flame, was like a silvery-white comet passing through the sky.
"Is this a sonic boom cloud?" Tim watched this scene in amazement, although they had discovered this phenomenon during the wind tunnel test, but it was still very shocking to actually appear in front of them.
According to the calculation of distance and bearing, the flight speed of the fighter has reached three times the speed of sound, which can be seen from the three striking sound rings on the tail flame.
"Good, looks like everything is going well!" Dennis nodded with great satisfaction, what he was most worried about was that when the supersonic mode was activated, the huge speed increase and the terrifying wind resistance caused the fighter plane to fall unbalanced.
Fortunately, Lydia's skills were extremely skilled, and what he was most worried about did not happen.
Now it's time for the battle test!
"Which of you is coming?" Lynn turned to look at Haroff, Aurora, Vittorio, and Anthony.
This supersonic fighter is to be released to a foreign land to carry out missions, and actual combat drills are naturally very important, especially to be able to deal with legendary-level enemies, which is very crucial.
Several speakers of the parliament were very interested in this new fighter, and Harrov took the lead in saying with great interest.
"I'll do it!"
As soon as the words fell, Harrov had already turned into a streamer of light and flew into the sky.
Lynn nodded, and simultaneously sent the message to Lydia through the magic web.
"Are you going to fight?" In the cockpit of the fighter plane, the halfling girl was not afraid at all, but was a little excited, she didn't expect that she would be able to compete with the legendary speakers.
But excitement is excitement, Lydia, who has a wealth of experience in flying and aerial combat, did not dare to be careless, and raised 12% of her attention.
Under the perception of electromagnetic radar and magic power, Harrov's flight trajectory is extremely obvious, like a blue star, constantly approaching Lydia.
The two sides quickly closed the distance, and after crossing a safe distance of 1.5 kilometers, Lydia took the first shot.
Behind several cylindrical bombs mounted on both sides of the fighter, the same tail flame as the fighter jet was sprayed, and then it directly broke free from the restraint and flew towards the oncoming Harrov at an unimaginable speed.
At the same moment, Lydia dragged the lever and controlled the fighter to climb upwards rapidly.
"So fast!" Seeing several speeding bombs, the same sonic boom cloud as the fighter plane appeared around him, Harrov was also a little surprised.
It's a pity that the accuracy is not good, and none of these bombs are aimed directly at themselves.
Interested Harrov didn't mean to dodge, but instead met it, building a powerful magic shield around him, intending to test the strength of these attacks.
Both sides were extremely fast, and it took less than three seconds to cross the distance of 5,000 meters!
Harrov soon collided with one of the flying bombs, and the bursting shockwave swept through the space, tearing apart the mana shield that covered him, but was immediately blocked out by the Legendary Realm.
That's it...... That's it?
Harrov was somewhat disappointed that an explosion of this magnitude alone would not hurt him, let alone pose a substantial threat to the rest of the legends.
But Harrov soon noticed that something was wrong, as the flames from the explosion poured into his field at such a rapid speed that he even felt an unspeakable threat.
"This is the Flame of Immortality?!" Harrov immediately realized this, and his face suddenly changed, he didn't expect Lynn to use such a dangerous thing on a fighter plane.
At the same time that Harrov noticed that something was wrong, on the training ground below, Dennis was proudly introducing the bombs loaded on the fighters to several speakers, and he also installed a small thruster inside the bombs.
The flight principle is similar to that of a fighter, and due to its small size, the speed can reach more than four times the speed of sound!
Every time the bomb is detonated, the chlorine trifluoride in the form of compressed gas inside will explode after contact with the outer layer of burning material, which can cover an area of 300 meters, and multiple launches are enough to turn a large area of airspace into a sea of fire, and even the enemy flying at the speed of sound will not have time to evade it.
The only drawback is that it is too cumbersome to make, each sonic bomb is equivalent to a small fighter, and if you exchange materials and labor for money, it is worth at least five hundred gold coins!
In other words, Lydia's attack has knocked out thousands of gold coins!
Vittorio and the others didn't care about the cost, and if a few thousand gold coins could be a threat to a legend, it would be a very good deal.
"Harrov was careless." Aurora looked at Harrov, who had collided directly with the bomb, and shook her head.
Fortunately, although the Immortal Flame is powerful, to a certain extent, its non-burning characteristics are very restrained by the energy body, but it is not the first time that Harrov has faced this thing, even if he was caught off guard and looked a little disgraced, he still managed to get rid of the fate of being swallowed by the Immortal Flame.
"It's too wasteful to use up all the bombs in one go, and if you fail to hit the enemy, then the combat power will be greatly reduced, right?" Lynn said with a frown as she looked at the ever-changing battle situation in the sky.
Naturally, Dennis understands this shortcoming, but it's too difficult to aim and hit enemies at high speed!
It can only be relied on such a large-scale attack.
"In that case, why not create a bomb that can automatically track the enemy and adjust its trajectory in mid-air?" Lynn said with a deep groan.
Some psionic wizards can use magic to separate their consciousness and manipulate huge golems, perhaps using this knowledge on aerial bombs, or perhaps making tracking bombs.
Lynn combined the principle of missiles in the previous life, and told Dennis how to make the bombs flying out automatically approach and detect the enemy's position, and track them through infrared sensing and radar detection.
Although they haven't been able to point out the computer and chip technology yet, it is better to use psionic magic instead.
Listening to Lynn's story, Deniston's eyes lit up, and many new improvements immediately came up in his mind, if it weren't for the fact that the test of the new fighter had not been completed, he would have been eager to start researching it now.
"Why don't you just call it a guided missile!" Lynn said with a smile.
Anthony, Aurora and Vittorio listened to the discussion between the two, and for a while they didn't know whether to be happy or helpless, now this new fighter is no longer a big threat to the legend, once Dennis makes a guided missile, it will definitely become more difficult.
At this moment, the battle situation in the sky is becoming more and more intense, and after Harrov suffered another dark loss, he also became serious, and the strong net of thunder covered the entire area in an instant.
However, the fighter flew too fast, and after the previous attack failed, Lydia changed to a guerrilla state, always maintaining the distance between the two sides, and constantly harassing with the machine guns from a distance.
Even though it didn't pose any actual threat to Harrov, it was as annoying as a fly.
There are only two ways to deal with such a high-speed enemy, the first is to use a faster one so that the opponent cannot dodge the attack, and the second is to predict the direction in advance and use a covering strike.
Harrov experimented with it and soon found that the simplest method was the most useless.
The only things that can make supersonic fighters unavoidable are thunder and laser spells.
It's a pity that the effect of both is very limited.
The electromagnetic spell will be blocked by the electromagnetic shield covering the perimeter of the fighter, and the laser beam is fast enough, but the radius of destruction is limited, even if the laser beam of the fifth energy level has crossed a distance of five hundred meters, the power will be greatly reduced, and it is not enough to break through the fuselage with a high-strength graphene coating on the surface.
If anything, the weakness is that the new fighter does not have any protection against gravity, which is exactly what Harrov is best at.
After using gravity manipulation to disrupt Lydia's perception of direction, combined with a wide range of spell attacks, it took about twenty minutes of battle to determine the winner.
If Harov hadn't stopped in time, the fighter would have been knocked down.
Lydia, who escaped death, honestly returned to end this flight training, even if she suffered a 'fiasco' in the end, she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, after all, it was a glory to be able to deal with a legendary speaker for a while!
If you choose to fight or even run away from the beginning, the other party may not be able to catch up with you.
Lynn and the others were also extremely satisfied, an alchemy creation that could be mass-produced could reach such a level, and it was already amazing to contain a legendary-level combat power.
What's more, the fighter can continue to improve, and Lydia's piloting skills are still lacking, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
"Now that the three-and-a-half-month deadline is only two weeks away, you need to work harder, Lydia, and when you get to a foreign land, those enemies will not show as much mercy as Speaker Harrov." Lynn patted Lydia on the shoulder.
Dennis hurriedly beckoned the alchemists to come forward to inspect and drag the experimental machine back, he had a lot of inspiration, maybe he could make a new transformation of this thing, and he enthusiastically asked Lynn to participate in it.
"Still no, I can't find time lately." Lynn shook her head and declined Dennis' invitation.
Although he had finished writing the theory of relativity, according to Ellock's report, the magic base stations in various places had been built, and the high-speed particle collider he had built was almost done.
The rites of godhood and antimatter were obviously more important, and they were directly related to their ability to defeat the Lord of the Necromancy.
