Chapter 719: sky (1/2)
Rebecca’s cheerful and cheerful voice was still ringing, and Maggie just smiled and looked down at the various joysticks and slightly simplistic instruments and runes.
These days, these joysticks and dashboards have been kept in her mind, and she is so familiar with them that even with her eyes closed, she can accurately find any button and lever in front of the driver's seat.
Tier, who had been on the side for a long time, was also arched and arched. The Miss Kraid saw that it was finally ready to take off. It seemed to boost some spirits. She looked up and looked at the cockpit. Maggie, the tip of the tail poked on the ground next to it: "Don't forget to take a photo after going up - of course, if you crash at once, then protect yourself first..."
Before I finished, the next few technicians swarmed and dragged the unspeakable Kraken to the side.
Maggie smiled and looked at it all.
She felt that the rune module and mechanical device underneath her body was emitting a slight tremor, and she could feel that this huge and complicated machine was awakening a little.
Steel, crystal, magic material, leather, wood, cloth... These inanimate materials are combined into a complex outer shell in the hands of human beings. The dragon that does not take off sits in this complex outer shell, ready to use It flies into the sky.
The outer shell should be something that gives people a sense of security, but this layer of "shell" is only dangerous in the experiments so far, just like the state of most new technologies in the experimental stage: it is unstable, full of defects, full A problem that technicians can't predict, it's not safe at all.
At the time of the small-scale prototype, the anti-gravity ring of the "aircraft" was out of control more than once. The validated anti-gravity rings destroyed the walls and roof of the laboratory and burned the runes on the test bench. The substrate, and as the project progressed to the later stage, the small-scale verification model became a large-scale testing machine, and the entire project was transferred to the “special laboratory” in the suburbs and tested on this open field.
The surrounding technicians have stepped back, Maggie has closed the lid of the cockpit, and then pressed the front main joystick. The power ridge that has completed the preheating charge begins to release the magic force to the anti-gravity ring, and the more intense tremor is passed from the bottom. Come.
After the migration of the test site, the project has no threat to the surrounding unrelated people, but the risks of the people involved in the test are still very large, especially the test flight personnel.
The proven anti-gravity device and the "Dragon Wing" device that is explored are very unstable, and the combination of the two is even more so. For humans without wings, they hand over themselves to a test machine. A simple device to challenge the blue sky is a great but overly risky move.
Of course, the tester can choose to master the flight wizard, so that at least when the machine crashes, they still have the opportunity to return to the ground with their own strength, but as a test machine, the problem that this aircraft has to face is far more than just crashing. Simple – airborne explosions, maneuvering out of control, magical runaways, etc. will make the master who masters the flight also life-threatening.
Maggie believes that Rebecca and her technical team will be fearless even if they face these challenges, but she volunteered to stand up and serve as a test pilot.
As a dragon, her body is very strong, and she is extremely resistant to all kinds of magical damage. Even if the aircraft explodes, she has a chance to survive. As for the sky, she can't take off on the ground with her own strength. But she can at least gliding in a dragon shape during the fall. There is no doubt that she is the most suitable test pilot for Cecil.
In the past few test flights, she has "crashed" three times - once again suffered a serious injury. If the humanoid dragon like her was not an ordinary human being, then the project has claimed at least three lives.
Maggie took a deep breath and calmed down a little nervous, then grabbed the main joystick in the center of the console and pulled it up slightly.
Under the inverted cone-shaped anti-gravity aircraft, numerous anti-gravity rings on the surface of the metal suddenly lit up, and a low-pitched humming sound came from the inside of the ring and the vertebral body of the aircraft, and gradually floated along with some gravel gravel near the machine. Ascending to mid-air, the aircraft temporarily named "Dragon Cavalry" was slightly out of the ground and began to rise slowly with a steady posture.
“The anti-gravity ring output is stable, the dynamic ridge state is stable, the dragon wing device is stable, and the magic wing is normal.” Maggie glanced at the console and reported the situation familiarly and continued to pull the lever up. “I want to start accelerating. It rose."
The flying speed of the aircraft began to accelerate gradually, and the half moon shaped magic wings on both sides slowly unfolded under the action of the mechanical device, and extended into a plane on both sides, while the "Dragon Wing" on both sides of the cockpit was stretched out at the same time. The light blue dragon wing runes illuminate one by one, shimmering.
This will be a success - it will be smoother than any time.
The rest of the eyes of Maggie swept the "Dragon Wing" device on both sides of the cockpit. During the day, she felt that the metal wings made of imitating dragon wings seemed to be an extension of her body. She clasped the joystick. It seems that I can feel the heartbeat of this machine. She feels the air flowing outside, feeling that the wings are stretching in the wind, she feels... the sky is calling herself.
She took off and flew higher.
The ground reference on both sides of the cockpit is sinking, the observation window in front of the cockpit is already open, she sees the huge signs on the test surface being away from herself, so gently push the joystick and everything in the field begins to recede go with.
Maggie smiled happily.
Rebecca looked up and saw that the wings on either side of the "Dragon Cavalry" dissipated a little shimmering particles, and then the heavy machine was like a light bird, speeding through the sky.
She still remembers that the aircraft crashed at this step in the last test - the dragon wing structure produced fatal tremors when changing the propulsion mode, the body was torn, the dynamic ridge was unbalanced, and it fell from the height of hundreds of meters. Maggie thrilled Extremely gliding into a dragon-shaped gliding landing in the air, the wreckage of the aircraft fell on the open space at the edge of the test site, destroying a magic monitoring tower.
By the way, Tyre, who was sleeping in the sun under the tower, slept.
The scene at the time was really shocking—especially when many technicians on the scene didn't know that the Kraken race could be resurrected, it was a big mess.
"Fly got up..." Rebecca looked up and turned to some thoughts that were gone, whispering softly.
"And it doesn't look like it will fall..." Tyre also looked up at the head, and the tip of the tail was poked on the ground. "The last time I really scared me, I was sleeping, I heard 'Dangdang. 'A loud noise, another blink of an eye in the Baishui River..."
Rebecca: "..."
Maggie's heart is leaping, but her hand is more stable than ever.
She clasped the joystick - the fluctuation of the airflow, the adjustment of the attitude of the aircraft, the subtle touch of the dragon wing feedback, these incredible feelings through the conduction of metal, through the conduction of these joysticks, finally passed to her hand, let her Gradually there is a hint of real feeling of embracing the sky.
Although the real sense is also surrounded by a layer of steel and other materials, she has been satisfied as never before.
