"I'll fly with you." Looking at Xiu, who was soaring in the sea of clouds, Xia Ye suddenly said.

"What?" Chrissy didn't react for a moment.

"Fly with you. After all, this is the first test flight, and according to the convention, it is necessary to fly with you, so that in case of any accidents, it is easy to rescue. Summer Night explained solemnly.

"But why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"Hey...... Because that's just what I thought. In fact, it felt so good to see Xiu flying in the air, so I couldn't help but want to fly. ”

“……”

"Anyway, that's it, I'll go back~" After Xia Ye finished speaking, he crushed the thunder feather that appeared in his palm, and the whole person immediately turned into a flash of lightning and flew in the direction of cultivation.

The distance of more than ten kilometers crossed in a blink of an eye, and when she arrived near the girl, the summer night ended the effect of "Thunder Feather", and then immediately used the "Thunder Knight", and the big cat with electric light appeared in the air, catching the summer night that was falling, she controlled the thunder cat, ran to Xiu's side, and flew side by side with her.

"How does it feel?" Due to the noise of the thrusters, the summer night had to be shouted to make the other party hear.

"Great!" Xiu replied loudly, a rare smile on his face.

"Actually...... I also...... Don't understand...... Why do you ...... Be sure to ...... Making this ...... Little thruster......" she continued, "but now I'm ...... Finally understood...... Hoo!

"Because of flying...... Feeling ...... It's really good...... and on board...... Not at all...... Sample ......"

Summer Night looked at her and suddenly noticed something she hadn't noticed before.

"You cut your hair short?"

In the past, Xiu had always had a long double ponytail, but now it has become a short hair that is just over the chin.

"Hmm...... Long hair is easy to ...... Caught in ......," Xiu gestured to the air intake of the thruster.

"That's right!" It dawned on the summer night that if the hair was sucked in...... It's scary to think about.

"In that case...... The thrusters will ...... Let's get broken. Xiu continued.

…… Was it worried about this? But if you think about it carefully, the strength of "synchronous strengthening" that can resist whale breath seems to make some sense.

"Anyway, short hair is quite suitable for you, I think it's more suitable than the previous double ponytail long hair." Summer Night said sincerely.

“…… Thank you. ”

"What's the speed now?" She asked again.

Xiu read the reading from the airspeed through his tail: "320 knots...... Left and right ......"

It's fast compared to the ship, Xia Ye thought to herself, but there is still a gap between her ideal speed, I don't know if there is a similar sound barrier in the ether, if so, I don't know where this boundary is, and if it can be broken.

"Let's go back." She said to Xiu, "It's better to have a shorter time for the first test flight, and we will test the landing later." In the next few days, we also need to test the speed boundaries at various altitudes and draw the flight envelope. In addition to this, the rate of climb, turning radius, roll acceleration, ...... And so on and so forth. All in all, there will be many test flights in the future, all of which will be hard for you~. ”

"No problem." Xiu nodded, then pulled upwards, reached the top of the semicircle arc and made a clean roll, completed a 180-degree U-turn, and flew towards the test ship.

It seems that she is really enjoying it, Xia Ye thought to herself, and controlled the thunder cat to chase after her.

It didn't take long for the test ship to reappear in view.

"I'll go down first." "You hover here and wait, wait until the test ship raises the green signal flag, and then land from the stern." ”

"Okay."

The two separated, and Summer Night soon landed on the back deck, and after the effect of the "Thunder Knight" was over, she was once again in a slippery state, but fortunately, everyone was already familiar with the car, and the new sailor suit was soon delivered to her. By the time she was dressed, the two columns on the aft deck had been erected.

"Xiu Ding, it's up to you to land." Summer Night said to the black cat who came to her side.

"This cat doesn't matter~ But the cat is very curious, what if one witch takes off in the future, there happens to be another landing?"

This is indeed a question, Xia Ye thought for a moment and proposed, "Doppelganger? ”

"No, you can't meow, the cat needs to split into two groups for take-off, and it also needs to split into two groups for landing, and if you take off and land at the same time, the cat will be divided into four groups! That's going to be a scramble for meow! ”

"Huh, is that so?"

"Of course meow, master, you can't do three heads and talk to three people at the same time, right?" Xiu Ji gave an example.

"Uh...... Oh yes. Summer Night suddenly understood.

While the two were chatting, the engineers were also ready to land, and Xiu Ji turned into two tentacles again, which were wrapped around the two columns, and more than ten tentacles stretched out, weaving a net between the columns.

Everything was ready, the green signal flag was raised at the top of the bridge, and Xiu, who received the signal, slowed down while slashing a downward arc in the air, aiming at the tentacle net on the rear deck and rushing towards it, and when there were still about twenty meters left, repaired the thrusters that were completely turned off, and at the same time turned on the "synchronous strengthening".

This is a process designed before takeoff, in case of landing failure and hitting the deck headfirst, it will not be dangerous to start the repair of "synchronous strengthening"; The thruster is turned off to prevent the moving thruster from exploding on impact.

The girl swooped down to the deck at an angle of about 30 degrees, and for a moment, Summer Night almost thought that the landing had failed, but Xiu still managed to crash into the range of the tentacle net. The slender tentacles instantly strangled her body, stretching like a rubber band while quickly cutting down the huge kinetic energy carried by the girl.

Finally, the world's first raiding witch successfully completed the entire process from take-off to landing.

From this moment on, the whaling ship also became something that people in the past could not have imagined at all.

……

The success of the first test flight lifted everyone's spirits, and the previous doubts were swept away, and the appearance of Xiu flying freely in the Aether Sea left a deep impression on everyone's hearts. If it weren't for the fact that only the Cat Witch could use the "Assault Set", I'm afraid everyone would have to rush to experience the taste of flying in the air.

The next day, the test ship with the catapult and assault suit can't wait to go to sea again, and this time Curran follows aboard, and after watching Xiu fly into the Aether Sea under Xiu's catapult, she is invited back to the bridge by Summer Night.

He was accompanied by Chrissy and Jaha.

"So, what new ideas do you have again?" As soon as he sat down, Curran said.

Summer Night was stunned, pointed to his face and asked, "...... Is it so obvious? ”

"yes." Curran smiled and said, "You have a face full of 'Look, look, I'm designing a strong attack on the witch, right?'" So you're going to agree to the next new idea, right? Will it be, will it?? '—so. ”

When Curran described this, Chrissy and Jahab couldn't help but laugh.

Summer Night was not embarrassed at all, and asked, "So, you will definitely agree, right?" ”

"Then you have to listen to it first." Curran was not fooled at all.

"Actually, it's also related to 'Assault Witch'." "We've finalized three ships, a supply ship, a ship with rapid-fire guns, and a ship with large-caliber whaling guns. Now there is still a plan for the last and most important flagship, the Moby Dick, which has not been decided. ”

"So, what do you think?" Curran asked.

"My idea is that the new Moby Dick will be a ship specifically designed to carry a strike witch, which I will call the Helicarrier."
