Release that Witch

977. Chapter 977 Gliding Wings

    “There are three more days,” Nightingale said suddenly.

    “Well, there are still three days.”Roland nodded, at the current marching speed, three days later, the First Army reached the preset offensive position – there was a raised hillside, the slope just facing the outpost, not only the open view, but also the defense Fortifications.

    Once they are allowed to stand firm, Devil is hard to shake the gun line.

    However, in the next few days, the pressure on the head of the sniper squad will also increase.

    The premise that they promise to be silent is that God does not know, ghostly and unconsciously cut off the enemy’s perception of sight. On the vast plains, if there is no ability to transmit messages in real time, it is almost impossible to accurately grasp the position of the attacker. Things.

    But with the increase in patrols, Devil has the potential to exchange real-time news with a quantitative advantage – just to see the moment when the losers are shot down, the search circle will shrink dramatically, and they want to shoot again. Risky things.

    The best result is that the enemy noticed the existence of the sniper squad and could not lock the specific position, while the latter stopped in time and turned around to join the First Army, which could involve Devil’s flying troops and win enough for the main force. time.

    It’s just that all of this requires their own judgment.

    Early or late will make this attack full of variables.

    “You should believe them,” Nightingale seemed to see Roland’s fears. “Taqila witch should not be able to judge the risk. The magic power ark can avoid most of the pursuit, even if it encounters the team Devil, think It’s not easy to leave them.”

    “That’s right,” Roland patted his cheek, and it’s still a lack of strength in Neverwinter City, so he needs to take the risk. The speed of walking severely restricts the limits of the First Army. If it can be equipped with wheeled vehicles, it is possible to launch a slamming battle on the Great Plains. Even if the army is going down the Dread Beast, the enemy can’t stop it. .

    He should pay more attention to the work at hand than the meaningless worry.

    “Right, Wendy should have mastered the basic principles of flight?”

    “Probably,” Nightingale smiled and threw a piece of dried fish into her mouth. “She was still asleep in the night last night, and she said that the runway was empty and the green light was fully open.”

    “That’s good,” Roland looked out of the window. “The weather seems to be pretty good today. It seems that the next step can be tested.”

    Oh
Are you going to formally test the real thing of that thing…”Nightingale eyes lit up.

    “Why, are you interested in it?”

    “Nobody will not be interested!”She is excited. “Without the wings, you can fly to the sky. It is more free than a hot air balloon. Anyone can control it. It sounds almost the same as a miracle. If it succeeds, do you know what citizens will think of you?” ? I am afraid that gods is also difficult to shake your prestige. ”

    When I said this, Nightingale’s look was even brighter than that of Chaos Drink, just as if the person who won the admiration was her.

    Roland couldn’t help but laugh. “Now it’s just the stage of exploration. There is still a long way to go to achieve the step you said.”

    At least Steam Engine can’t meet its needs, he needs a more powerful source of power.

    “But it will eventually be realized, right?”Nightingale walked back to the door with a hand and smiled back.

    “Well,” Roland said without hesitation. “It will.”

……

    One kilometer east of the shoal harbor.

    The beachhead, which is out of the water, sinks into the sea here, leaving only a section of stone that continues to extend to the southeast, and this long rocky ridge forms the outline of the entire Kingdom of Greycastle.

    For the inland people of the Western Region’s land, the border is only part of the hilly landform. When you climb the gently rising slope, you can see the vast vortex sea; but for the sea traders, this is a The insurmountable barrier, the average height difference between the sea surface and the stone ridge is more than fifteen meters, not to mention the inability to load and unload the goods, even the docking is very dangerous. So before the shoal was opened, the Western Region clearly had one-third of the borders on the sea, but not one.

    It can be said that the overall economic level of the western part of the Kingdom is not as good as that of the eastern and southern regions. The main reason is the lack of damage caused by the Months of Demon.

    However, such terrain is now an excellent test flight.

    When the Roland group arrived here, the defending forces stationed in Neverwinter City had sealed the surrounding area for one kilometer.

    At the end of the cement-cast runway, three identical test prototypes were being pushed onto the lift by soldiers.

    Oof… Is this what you call a new machine,” Thunder said, sighing his chin. “It’s really reminiscent of seabirds by looking at the shape, but it’s a much more powerful Steam engine…It seems a bit thin. ”

    As the most reliable overseas ally, the Fjord Outstanding Explorer Thunder, as well as the businesswoman Margery Nature, is inviting to watch Roland. Roland was not surprised by the evaluation of the former. After making a mysterious smile, he looked at Margery. “What do you think?”

    “Return to Your Majesty,” the latter said calmly. “To be honest, it is too different from your previous creation. If it wasn’t for your personal invitation, I would have thought that it was the Wonder Objects Society who was cheating on your scorpion. .”

    “Wonder Objects Society?”Roland curiously asked, “What is that organization?”

    “A group of guilds between the craftsmen and the explorer established the guild,” Margery explained. “They were not willing to be flattered by the craftsmen, but they did not dare to devote themselves to the sea of ​​anger, so they put their energy into it. A variety of quirky inventions. Two years ago, someone made something similar—a pair of wood wings that were passed on to let the wearer fly. ”

    WoodWing

    “There is something similar to yours, but it’s just a lot smaller, almost one person is longer.”

    “Then he flew up?”Wendy couldn’t help but ask.

    “No,” Margery shook his head. “He put his wings and jumped off a high tower. The wings quickly turned over and fell like stones. He fell to the ground and died.”

    Wendy couldn’t help but swallow.

    “And before that person, he claimed that he had succeeded several times and also attracted the attention of several big chambers of commerce. So this scam not only made him a joke, but also made the reputation of the Wonder Objects Society worse. ”

    Roland heard a sigh of emotion and took wood to make wings. Obviously, he realized that the greatest possible lift is the key to flying, and only a hard frame can support enough force area – at this point Then, they basically got rid of the simple imitation of the birds, and the prototype of the fixed wing was born.

    It can be said that the other party has been regarded as a pioneer in the exploration of the sky, at least much more than the brain holes that have appeared in history such as artificial wings, umbrella flying, and cloak flying.

    I am afraid that it will not be a nonsense, but a close-range gliding experiment at a low altitude, but the wind is much higher at high altitudes, and the lack of operating surface of the wings is an unexpected event.

    It is a pity that the fjord advocates an explorer that can bring space for the islanders. For those who dare not go out to sea, it is difficult to get a fair evaluation.

    “He can’t be a liar,” Roland said slowly. “It takes a lot of money to get rid of the earth and embrace the sky. If I don’t have the help of the witch, I am afraid it will be inevitable.” If the person has a name, record it. ”

    Margery groaned, then lifted the skirt, “Your Majesty, as you wish.”

    Roland turned his attention to the “glider type” that was being prepared before the test flight – compared to steam trains and steel ships, it really looked so thin that it could not even be called a complete aircraft.

    There is no cabin, and the skeleton is all outside the skeleton. Except for the long wings, the rest of the skin is omitted. In order to facilitate the escape, the seat is installed directly between the wings, which seems to be simpler than the model.

    Unlike all the previous machines, Roland is a blank in the field of flight, and just knowing the principle is that there is no way to make a real aircraft.

    So the first thing to do is to write a copy of the Flight Manual.

    These seemingly simplistic test prototypes already contain the basic control elements needed for an aircraft.

    It is like a newborn hairless chick.

    It is the starting point for humans to fly.
