Chapter 200 Test Flight and Countdown to the Mage Tower
Iron Heart, a rune ball.
Simple magic signals without multi-frequency coupling can be reproduced exactly with the ingenious design of the iron core.
The so-called non-multi-frequency coupling refers to a closed, single-line flow of magic power.
It's like a rope that is connected at both ends. No matter how you wrap it or turn it into a fancy rope, it is still a closed, single-line thing.
And something like this can be fitted by the rune ball - Iron Heart.
"What an amazing invention! Even though I participated in the compilation of 144 lightweight runes before, I still admire your talent for rune knowledge."
Bing Nagi sighed. She had previously thought that she had counted more than 144 runes by herself, and then sorted out lightweight runes among them, which meant that she was already a great contributor to the extreme subdivision.
Comparing with the ever-increasing rune summary tables, Bing Nag thought that 144 was already the foundation of the foundation, and that the subsequent added parts should be able to be calculated using his 144 "elite soldiers", but he did not expect that such a foundation could be further broken down.
"2, 8, and 18. In other words, you've reduced the number of parts you need to learn to twenty-eight in one go."
"Okay, stop sighing, Mr. Hyogi, please tell me about the flow of magic power in the griffin's heart." Kronos' words brought Hyogi, who had been a little off topic, back to the topic.
As the two communicated, some magical fluorescent lights connected end to end appeared from the holes on the iron core.
"First, determine the number of magic return..."
The process of adjusting the iron core reminded Abes of methods such as an oscilloscope or microscope adjustment.
The first step, of course, is to get very close to the target range, and the second and third steps after that require precise adjustments.
The magic reversal number is the first target that can be determined by the naked eye.
"What does it mean to have a higher magic return number?"
Looking at the two busy researchers, Abbes and Matthew also joined in the conversation.
"Well... if the iron core is placed in our iron bird, it will represent a kind of endurance. I'm not saying that this thing can generate energy by itself. What I mean is that if it is the same number of magic crystals, a higher number of reentry can help us run longer."
"One, two, three... Thirteen turns, set. Then please tell me the coupling speed and peak elimination speed."
The coupling speed, or the lateral scanning speed, represents the driving sensitivity to the surroundings when the magic power flows through the core.
The reaction on the iron bird represents the sensitivity of the driver's operating feedback.
The peak elimination speed refers to the height of the magic signal, which is an internal deviation of the internal driving current in the coupled state.
When reflected on the iron bird, it represents an internal loss. Of course, this loss is extremely useful when making an emergency stop or trying to turn at a smaller angle.
Matthew pointed at the adjustment knob at the bottom of the iron core curiously, "It only has two gears. Does this correspond to, are these two base runes?"
"That's right. If the magic signal has a specific polarity, we can use it to select the corresponding trigger polarity."
“What happens if you flip it over?”
“…You’d better not think like that.”
----------
After these four data were determined, the entire iron core began to be surrounded by an endless magical power.
"Is this what a griffin's heart feels like?"
Having once used the protection of riding to forcefully control a griffin on the operating table, Abes could more or less empathize with the pain and intense energy conveyed by the mount.
And when such an extreme situation was replicated by Kronos and others using runes, its power was astonishing.
When these four data are determined, Tiexin feels like the engine of a luxury car.
If the griffin's heart was beating violently, every beat released amazing energy.
Then every cycle of the iron core can help mobilize the entire mechanical creation.
"Put it in and try it?"
Kronos put the thing back into the body of the iron bird, and then added a small handful of magic crystals into it.
This number is enough for someone holding magic arm armor to use it to spit fire continuously for about half an hour.
This is also the number provided during normal training.
If it was a battle similar to the previous attack on Raven Castle, the number of magic crystals carried by a single soldier would not exceed three hours of support.
After all, a battle that can last for several hours is already the limit.
Battles, campaigns and wars are matters of completely different magnitudes.
And now, the magic power generated by the same number of magic crystals, under the control of the iron core, flows through the entire "body" of the big iron bird connected to this core, crisscrossing like blood, providing a constant source of power for each part.
Its power is similar to that of a griffin's heart, just like the roar of a luxury car's engine, shocking and making people tremble with fear.
Pulling the control line out from the abdomen of the big iron bird, Kronos tested various actions one by one, and also performed small-scale floating and hovering.
Finally, Abesi asked the question he wanted to ask at the beginning, "Can I take a ride?"
No one can refuse to fly. It is a desire that a light soul will inevitably have when it is bound to a heavy body.
Kronos clicked the control lines one by one, and after confirming that the feedback actions were correct, he looked at Abes solemnly, "Lord Abes, you should know that so far, no living person has been tested on it."
After the Slime City fell to them and sent the rare race, the Minqin, Kronos was once prepared to let this race, which was very durable and almost not afraid of physical damage, participate.
However, such experiments cannot be easily demonstrated to the forces in Sludge City whose details and attitudes are not yet fully understood.
"Even so, I have tested the weight of people and other living things."
"I have used dogs as living creatures, and even stuffed a warhorse into that cavity, so the size of the space and the load capacity are definitely not a problem."
"But since there's no one on top to control it, I can only use the control line to extend down like this to send my instructions over."
“Although there is nothing wrong with hovering, flying, and gliding, the existence of this line always makes me feel like I’m flying a kite—not free enough.”
"However, no matter how much we pursue freedom, safety is still our top priority. Tiexin has just modified a new wave condition. What I need to test next is the high-speed maneuver, drifting like a falling leaf, or suddenly leveling the line of sight like a swift cobra."
"When testing the maneuver, replace it with a living person, or Lord Abes... Please forgive me for not wanting to take such a risk, and please consider the future of the North or the country."
Just when Kronos gave reasons to make Abes give up this idea.
Matthew, who had an excited look in his eyes but refused to show much emotion, spoke.
"Then let me do it."
"No, please don't joke. You are also an important talent that Lord Abes values very much..."
"But, without a doubt, I am the least influential one among those who know about this thing." Matthew explained stubbornly, and his eyes finally raised to the silver-haired girl.
"We're short on time, aren't we?"
His detective-like eyes once again captured the truth of the situation.
Among the few people, only Bing Nagi showed a puzzled expression.
what?
----------
Some simple reasoning.
Matthew had witnessed the scene on the first day when Abes, who had already captured the capital, was about to charge forward with all his might, with the final threat hanging high in the sky.
He knew very well that if the Mage Tower only had that level of defensive power, the Iron Bird would not need to make this kind of maneuver.
As long as it can fly, can be mass-produced, and then take off with enough people, the Mage Tower will definitely be in our pocket.
Rather than mobility, even for this reason, during the operation, Ms. Hirugashi had to distract herself to observe the griffin's heart under extreme pain.
This means that there must be some reason why it is necessary to move forward.
At the experimental site, which is here today, Matthew looked up and watched for a long time. He not only looked at the situation of the iron bird, but also carefully observed the situation of the floating island.
He saw a large hole at the bottom of the Mage Tower, which appeared and disappeared from time to time as the base was circling.
"When I saw that, I knew that mobility was used to avoid it. That giant cannon - during the previous recovery operation, all the small attack spells below were fired, but there was no movement at that huge hole."
"That's a huge cannon. Although it's a bit backward and can't compare to our magic cannon, it's definitely powerful. The mobility is for that thing."
Furthermore, the spell-rune analysis industry line already had a mature enough level, but after witnessing it, it was discovered that the intention was not to add the function of flying to the magic arm armor, but to create a vehicle, which was already very telling.
Not enough time.
In terms of time, Abes and his team were not even allowed to use the more promising approach, but instead chose a more brutal, more hopeless, but faster method.
And when combined with some words once said by old Winston, the diehard prisoner, the matter becomes clear.
"Old Winston once said that he had locked onto something... the height of the Mage Tower and the control authority of the Mage Tower."
"Among them, there might be a huge cannon whose caliber is so terrifying."
"This thing, doesn't it have any countdown or activation conditions..."
----------
"I really can't hide it from you. It's a bit of a waste for you to be a doctor. If you follow Master Anivia, Master Gaviling, or someone like me, you will have the opportunity to follow Master Abes and witness something more intuitive, important, and influential. Only then can you really use your eyes and your smart brain."
The silver-haired girl patted Matthew's shoulder appreciatively.
Abes also sighed a lot. Before the operation, the guy's words, saying that they were preparing a flying army, scared him a lot.
And now, after witnessing the big iron bird and asking for some information about Tie Xin, he was able to deduce that time was running out.
This guy's thinking is even stronger than those of them who are extraordinary beings and have strong spirits.
"You're right. The cannon will fire at the ground when the countdown ends, or it will be activated when someone on the ground flies four-fifths of the way to the Mage Tower."
"Therefore, the operation to recapture the Mage Tower will inevitably face the firing of giant cannons, and mobility is necessary."
“At the same time, we couldn’t wait too long, so we chose a vehicle that was easier to complete instead of further upgrading the magic gauntlet.”
"And now, since you already know almost all the information and have volunteered to be the experimenter for the first flight of the iron bird, I can only let you do it."
The reason for this indulgence is of course because——
"Go ahead, I made it with great care and it's absolutely reliable. Even that thing has a good escape design." Kronos was confident.
"As long as you hover within 150 feet, I can rescue you no matter what happens." And there is the strength of Abes.
Only Hirayama turned her head away in embarrassment, "How come I'm the only one who doesn't know?"
It was obvious that old Winston was her enemy and the trouble she had caused, but she couldn't actually understand her enemy well enough.
The Mage Tower was able to set up something like this, but as one of the few powerful mages, she had no idea...
Unexpectedly, he came to Abes with a griffin disguised as a white horse, intending to rest for a while and find a helper who could help him deal with the acid curse.
After that, the Matthew we meet in the camp will be such a powerful character.
----------
When Matthew entered the belly of the iron bird and prepared to fly, he felt an unprecedented excitement and happiness.
It seemed like something made him forget the sorrow of his family.
He stood at the starting point, feeling the isolation of the clothes specially made for flying covering his body, but also feeling the strength and protection it brought.
Finally, Matthew took a deep breath and pressed the start button.
The system startup sound of the big iron bird rang out, the mechanical device began to operate, and hot energy surged out of the metal shell and penetrated into the entire body of the iron bird.
It was as if a heat wave was sweeping over us.
However, it is still within the acceptable range.
At the same time, the iron bird's wings spread and its engine roared, and as the thrust was released, Matthew could see and feel that he was slowly leaving the ground.
The feeling of flying in the air made him intoxicated. At a high enough altitude, there was no need to close his abdominal cavity. The wind blowing on his face and the sun shining on his body made him feel extremely refreshed.
He waved his arms, pressed the control stick, and then tried to perform the movements specified by Kronos.
Maneuvers and experiments on living people are about to begin!
----------
The griffin operation was completed, and there were still three hippogriffs in hand.
And most importantly, after letting Iron Heart replicate the flow of magic power in the griffin's heart under extreme circumstances, the flying performance of the big iron bird was surprisingly good.
From the perspective of Abes, a bystander, the expression on Matthew's face was very comfortable. At least there was absolutely no problem with ordinary flight.
If the maneuver could be completed, it would be easy for a guy like Matthew who had absolutely no physical training to do it.
The formation of a flying army is only one step away.
Mass production!!
