Master the basic skills of flying and perform freely -

Despite the demands made of Julius and Agaté, Nolan didn't really think they would be able to do it all at once.

He just wanted to see if the two of them, who were the leaders of the Knights, could adapt to the feeling of flying and the way the jetpack was handled as quickly as Yuna if they were serious.

And as five minutes passed, the two of them were indeed able to drive the jetpack around the training ground in a decent way.

"What do you think of them?" Nolan looked thoughtfully at their flying backs.

In fact, Julius and Agaté are definitely not slow to get started, and their performance in the first flight of the jetpack is not much better than them.

"Hmm...... I think it's pretty good? Yuna replied with some uncertainty.

"It's okay, they won't hear Yuna-sensei's spicy comments." Nolan laughed, "Just say what you really think." ”

"Well—" Yuna thought for a moment, "I think the way they fly is a little too ...... It's regular.

"Flying forward is flying forward, flying left is flying left, although the balance is maintained well during the flight, but I always feel that something is missing......"

"What's missing?" Noren thought carefully with his chin propped up, mentally contrasting the way they flew with Yuna.

"Perhaps, what they lack is the imagination to fly."

"Imagination ......!" Yuna's eyes lit up, "Yes, worthy of the master, that's what I just wanted to say!" ”

Flying is a technology that can move freely in three-dimensional space, and its complexity and possibilities are much greater than simply moving on the ground.

This requires not only a good sense of space and balance, but also a good imagination.

With the support of the jetpack, the pilot can not only fly standing, but also fly sideways or upside down, and perform a variety of aerobatic maneuvers in the air.

Yuna at that time, in just a few minutes of her first test flight, discovered the possibility of a jetpack.

Then, with the archers of the steppe army as imaginary enemies, he began to study various dodge moves in the air to counteract.

Julius and Agaté, on the other hand, were quick to learn, but they always drove the jetpack at a constant speed in the most stable standing position.

This kind of flight attitude is actually no different from a target, and it is very easy to be shot, and only this kind of piloting technology cannot be put into actual combat.

However, Nolan also understands that geniuses like Yuna are only a handful, and the potential of the two cannot be denied because they can't compare to her.

As long as a reasonable training plan is formulated for them, not to mention becoming a "white raven", I believe that they will soon be able to train enough driving skills to be used in actual combat.

The time for the assessment was soon up, and Julius and Agaté landed slowly.

Although they didn't experience any strenuous exercise, a fine layer of sweat broke out on their backs.

"As a newbie, you're doing pretty well."

Nolan encouraged, "After that, I will make a training plan for the Sky Knight, and I believe that with your ability, you will soon be able to fully master the control skills of the jetpack!" ”

"Whew-" Julius let out a sigh of relief at this, "So, we've passed the test?" ”

"Of course." Nolan replied.

At this moment, Agaté on the side suddenly spoke: "I'm sorry, General Staff, I think my ability may not be able to meet your expectations." ”

"Oh?" Nolan looked at him, the so-called lack of ability may be just an excuse, "If you have any doubts, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

In order to attract the elite of the Knights to join, the treatment he gave was actually very generous.

Everyone, including captain-level knights like Julius and Agaté, after joining the Sky Knights, their salaries will not only not be reduced, but will also be increased by an additional two percent.

In addition, the Sky Knights, as a special independent force promoted by the current policy of the City Lord's Mansion, if the military department wants to give out any benefits, it will also ensure that it will be provided to the Sky Knights as soon as possible.

Therefore, there is no problem of insufficient benefits and benefits here.

"No, it's actually the original meaning."

Agaté spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "Although I can fly, I realized that I am not used to this feeling."

"I've spent half my life honing my swordsmanship, horsemanship, and other combat skills to get to where I am now, and now I'm getting used to a new way of fighting......

"I feel like my rusty head can't turn around!"

"Is that so?" Nolan was not reluctant, and put a cross on his name, "Okay, I respect your ideas." ”

Agaté is in his forties this year, while Julius is just thirty years old, which is young in comparison.

It is true that it is more difficult for older guys to adapt to new ways of fighting than younger ones, and I am afraid that their learning ability will be a little worse.

"You're going to give up?"

Julius also regretted, "You told me before that becoming a Sky Knight is obviously more promising than staying in the Knights. ”

"That's true, but after actually experiencing it, I found that I was better at ground combat." Agaté unloaded his gear and smiled.

"I'd better stay in the Knights' retirement. Julius, when you develop in the future, remember to invite me to drink a drink? ”

"Cut—" Julius gave him a middle finger.

The treatment is secondary, he really thinks that air combat is indeed an exciting and fresh experience.

It would be even better if you could gain more combat power because of this, and wouldn't the two be doubly happy together?

However, everyone's talents and aspirations are different, and although Agaté chose to give him up, it is not incomprehensible.

He immediately looked at Nolan, shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Anyway, I'm going to put my future on you."

"Your Excellency, would you please take care of me in the future?"

"Hmm." Nolan curled the corners of his mouth, "You won't regret your choice." ”

Indeed, as Agaté said, the Sky Knights will become a special independent force strongly supported by the military department, and their status will be above the Knights in the future.

But in addition to the Air Force, the ground forces are also the object of his reform.

In the future, the ground forces will no longer revolve around the Knights, but will be led by the strategic weapon "tank".

If veterans like Agaté can't keep up with the times, I'm afraid they will really take a back seat and live a retirement life in advance.

After that, Nolan focused on selecting some high-ranking knights in the knights for assessment.

Because of the limited number of jetpacks and the slow speed of the assessment, less than 40 people were assessed in the morning.

Half of these people are underperforming.

About half of the remaining half, like Agaté, felt unable to adapt to the new way of fighting and voluntarily gave up.

In the end, only eight people passed the initial review.

"I thought Julius's performance could only be considered at the upper middle level, but compared to the others, he was already the best one."

Nolan closed the list and stretched.

"There is a comparison before it hurts, and now I fully understand how exaggerated your fighting talent is."

"Hey, the master praised it." Yuna pursed the corners of her mouth, "I'm just your personal maid." ”

Hearing this, Nolan quietly glanced at her expression.

He knew that Yuna had always had a faint sense of inferiority and alienation from herself because of her collar and physical disability.

In order to shorten the distance between the two, he also specially told Yuna that he didn't have to call himself "master".

So for a long time after that, the two sides have been referred to each other by their respective names, although they are a little nondescript in terms of identity, but they also know each other.

And after Flamel took off the collar for Yuna and reshaped her body, their relationship seemed to change quietly.

Most notably, in everyday life, Yuna calls his name less often, calling him his master...... Instead, it's more?

And looking at her expression, now when she calls herself master, instead of being restrained, there is a kind of reserved and self-satisfied taste on her face?

It was a strange thing, he was ready to let her go free.

As long as Yuna wants, she can now take off her maid's uniform and stay by her side as an independent and free stand, just like Luo Zhen and Aisha.

Because he believes that even so, Yuna will not leave him.

And one day, after he revealed this meaning to Yuna, he didn't expect to be strongly opposed by Yuna.

"Since I'm completely free, it's also my freedom to continue to be a maid, right?"

She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Please continue to take care of me in the future, my dear master?" ”

It seems that from that day on, the number of times she called herself master began to increase?

"Hmm...... Do I have something on my face? ”

Seeing Nolan staring straight at her, Yuna staggered her eyes a little embarrassed.

"Nothing." Nolan rubbed his face, "I just think the way you speak has changed a lot." ”

"Does the master still think it's better like that?"

"No...... Rather, please step up. ”

"Really?" Yuna smiled reservedly and leaned over to whisper in his ear.

"Yes, my master."

A warm snort passed by the Iren, and Nolan coughed lightly, and his face changed without changing the subject.

"Having said that, the efficiency of this assessment is still too slow, we can't waste all our efforts here, we have to think of a way......

His fingers tapped quickly on the table, and he quickly entered a state of thought.

"In the future, Linfeng City will vigorously develop the Air Force, and a complete set of screening and training processes is indispensable.

"It's better to take this opportunity to improve the recruitment and training system together, and save trouble in the future."

Although he didn't know much about the system of the Air Force in his previous life, he was able to roughly guess it.

First of all, needless to say, the strong physique is not to mention, the people who can join the air force are at least fifth-order extraordinary knights, and theoretically they can fully adapt to the discomfort caused by the flight.

Then, in the end, to screen out who is more suitable to become a Sky Knight, I am afraid that we have to start from two aspects: "psychological quality" and "flying talent".

After all, it's one thing for your body to be able to handle it, it's another thing to be in the air and whether you're scared or uncomfortable.

At the same time, whether he can quickly comprehend the skills of using new weapons and have the "imagination" of three-dimensional space is also the key factor in whether a Sky Knight can become an ace.

To sum up, he decided to make some special training equipment instead of manual to preliminarily screen who has the talent to fly.

These training equipment include, but are not limited to, hot air balloons capable of rising to a height of 300 meters;

a chair that rotates quickly;

a spiral ladder converted from a swing;

Fixed rollers that can be tied to the trainer to rotate inside the wheel;

Finally, the alchemy factory was to mass-produce mechanically operated jetpacks for training.

Hot air balloons and jetpacks are both ready-made technologies, and the spiral ladder is also easy to modify.

As for the chair that rotates on its own and the fixed wheels, it can be made smoothly with a Flamel motor.

The alchemy team supported by Flamel is now in the city, and with their help, it should be completed soon.

So, he spent the rest of the day drawing the drawings and sent them in the evening, and got Richard's reply before he went to sleep.

"My lord, the alchemy factory has been busy for a long time, but you have sent us so many tasks at once, this is ...... Why is it too late? ”

Richard was originally an alchemist advisor to the City Lord's Mansion, and became one of the leaders of the alchemy factory after it was established.

After Noren became a legendary alchemist, the popularity of the alchemy factory under his name also soared, and some alchemists who were still waiting on the sidelines finally decided to join the factory, hoping to get Nolan's guidance.

Now, after two expansions, the total number of alchemists and alchemy apprentices in the factory has reached nearly 100.

However, the tasks assigned to them by Nolan are also arduous, in addition to the daily manufacturing, they also have to hand over to Flammel's alchemy team.

While learning their techniques, there are also courses in the new rune system waiting for them.

If this is counted, the task of the factory can be said to be scheduled for next year.

"Only a hundred? It's not enough at all, let me continue to expand! ”

Noren frowned, "If you can't recruit people, go to the alchemy society in the city, don't they have a lot of human resources!" ”

Not to mention a hundred people, he would like to ask all the alchemists in the city to work overtime to explode equipment for himself.

"But ......"

Richard stopped talking, "Unless there are special circumstances, the City Lord's Mansion cannot forcibly recruit alchemists under the command of the Alchemy Society, and you should know this rule......"

"What circumstances are special and what circumstances are not, who can say the rules?"

Nolan slapped the table and got up, waving his big hand, "Tomorrow I will personally go to the Alchemy Society, I want to see who dares not to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion to do things?" ”

Now he is a legendary alchemist, and even Flammel, the headquarters of the Alchemy Society, is his ally.

In terms of title, power, and background, there is no alchemist in the current Linfeng City who can compare to him.

Even Bach respects him three points, if he speaks, there will be anyone in the society who dares to speak against him in front of him?

"Okay......" Seeing his unangry and arrogant expression, Richard wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He suddenly remembered that when he first became a general staff officer before, Nolan seemed to have made a fuss with the Alchemy Society.

Now he has scored two goals, but he hasn't seen him for a while, and Nolen's value has risen, and he is not a single club that can be called with at all.

I just hope that this lawless master can save a little face for the people in the society tomorrow......
