Early in the morning on the third day of returning to the barony, Lailun changed his clothes, sorted out his clothes and accessories, and then walked outside the castle.
   The dwarf engineer, the chief of the Bronzebeard clan, Kag-Bronzebeard, told him that there was a major test today, and he hoped that the Baron himself could come and observe it in person. Lailun considered that the internal affairs were almost handled in the past two days, so he readily accepted it.
Eureka has been busy settling down her witch hunter subordinates for a while, and she has basically never seen each other, while the sorceress Rosa Mina is preparing a vital magic potion in the wild, and Lailun has arranged for Nielsen. Cass-Francis and a few ranger knights went with her, while Adrian worked hard for more than a month, the baron gave him a few days to rest, and the entourage beside Lailun was replaced by Sir Hector.
   Walking out of the gate of the lord's castle, the seven eternal knights and Sir Hector were waiting patiently for the baron. When the guard saw Lailun coming out, he immediately handed over the reins, and the group said respectfully:
   "My Baron!"
   "Sir Baron!"
"Good morning, knights." Lyron mounted his horse, turned his horse's head, and marched down the York River outside the town. Ser Hector, fully armored, held the banner of Baron Draco in one hand, a horse head behind Lyron. .
   On the shoal, several newly built large waterwheels are slowly rotating, supplying water to the canals erected on the shore, and the clear river water flows into the town along the built channels, meeting the growing water demand of the population.
   Along the turbulent York River, the newly renovated rammed earth road was smooth and clean, and the group walked towards the dwarf community.
In the autumn, the Draco Forest felt a little chilly. The free people wore felt clothes and wind robes. The wealthier townspeople and craftsmen wore velvet leather jackets and a layer of robes. In the boundless fields, the golden autumn wheat waves have almost been harvested, and the windmills scattered on the plains have been turning for a long time. In the towns, the furnaces of the bakeries have never stopped, constantly baking whole wheat bread and black bread to supply the market.
   After about two hours.
In the low hill canyon at the mouth of a river bend, the three stone statues of the ancestors of the dwarves in the middle of the ring road are lifelike. It was on a large platform that was opened up on the halfway of the low hill.
"Dududu—" A blue-and-white dwarf gyrocopter was hovering in the mid-air of the dwarf hill, slowly turning the muzzle of the burst gun under the fuselage, the roar of the engine reverberated in everyone's ears, its noise Even more so than the lively dwarf tavern.
   "Aim for the target~~" the long-bearded dwarf on the platform shouted: "Shoot!"
"Peng Peng Peng -" The burst gun hanging from the dwarf rotorcraft fired several rounds of projectiles, smashing a few Orc orcs firmly tied to the wooden frame a few hundred meters away into a pool of blood, which also caused a burst of blood. Cheers:
   "Granny is up!"
   "Ancestral God, we succeeded! We succeeded!"
   "Stupid orc stuff! Die! Die!"
At the end of the    platform, three or four long-bearded dwarves wore goggles and protective helmets. While operating complex mechanical devices, they instructed the engineers on the rotorcraft to park the rotorcraft on the tarmac of the large platform step by step. …
"Ka~ka~ka~" The muffled sound of giant gears clasping together came from under the platform where Nilun and others stood. A mechanical telescopic device supporting the apron gradually emerged, and the bearded dwarf who commanded the landing shouted. The sound never stopped: "The level is offset by two meters! Very good! Keep still, drop.... land.... drop again, good! Turn off the steam engine, the flanks stop..."
  Lilun and his party stood behind the yellow line pulled up on the other side, watching the dwarves busy, while the few dwarf apprentices watching and studying beside them were excited, they stroked their brown mustaches and shouted loudly.
"Morkin's gear, what a perfect test! I should record everything that happened today in the Beard Log!" Two minutes later, the red-faced, well-bearded dwarf engineer Karg-Copper Shu took off his helmet and jumped out of the rotorcraft cockpit with a smug smile on his face.
   "Patriarch Kag." Lailun stepped forward and waved. At the same time, he looked at the rotorcraft parked on the tarmac. It was unbelievable that the technology of dwarves could make such a big guy fly into the sky.
"Haha, Baron Lailun, this is my latest work, look at the craftsmanship, isn't it very good!" Dwarf engineer Kag greeted him, he touched his thick and smooth beard, wearing a plush lapel The heavy clothes, Kager put on his polished round glasses again, folded his arms and raised his head.
"My dwarf friend... The technology you have mastered is truly a miracle." Lailun stretched out his hand and touched the rotorcraft. Lailun was pleasantly surprised by the welding port.
"Of course!" Kagg also reached out and stroked his own work, a masterpiece worthy of his pride, his face cracked involuntarily: "Although a dwarf should keep his feet on the ground, or rather, stay at a hundred Meters under the ground. But I can tell you that the gyrocopter is a cool little thing, especially when you need to get around behind the enemy and give them a hard blow with the burst gun!"
The   gyroplane is one of the most revolutionary inventions of the dwarves, and indeed the entire Old World.
"Since the decline, the mountain passages and underground tunnels between the various dwarven fortresses have been filled with greenskin and rat-men threats, forcing the dwarves to seek another solution, a more efficient way than breaking through by force The dwarf engineer explained the development of the rotorcraft to Leron: "When the ancestral engineers saw the dragon flying and preying between the mountains, they were inspired. They put the steam engine that drives the digger, the grinding wheel used in the mill and the The canvas was combined to create the first rotorcraft, and this early version has been refined over the centuries after successful test flights, resulting in a version with more power, speed, load capacity and protection. , In some large mountain forts, the rotor units have formed a formation and have been in service so far. "
   Caressing the thick fuselage, Karg could feel the joy of the ancestral engineers when they created the rotorcraft, and the dwarf engineers could find a deep sense of solace and blood connection.
In the beginning, dwarven gyrocopters were tasked with transporting supplies and information between fortresses and settlements. Their flying superiority made them almost impossible for the greenskins and ratmen on the ground, and their speed advantage allowed supplies and Messages—especially distress calls from small fortresses under siege—are sent in time to other fortresses capable of supporting them, allowing the dwarves to avoid the tragic fate of their territories continuing to fall. …
  Lailun also reached out and stroked the dwarf gyrocopter. He also saw the scene just now, the scene where the burst gun directly smashed the Orcs into flesh and blood, and it was shot from the air.
   There is no doubt that the masterpiece of the dwarven engineer has brought his army a leap forward.
With the rotorcraft, the future war will be completely different. Although the heavy artillery is equipped with wheels, it can be dragged by a packhorse, or it can be pushed by manpower, but in field operations, especially in muddy swamps or heavy rainy nights, there are many actions. inconvenient.
  The gyrocopter is different. It can play the role of field exploration, detect the enemy's situation, harass the enemy's supply line, air raid the enemy's marching route, etc. It has many functions and great effects.
"Starting the steam engine of the rotorcraft requires the consumption of Menghuo oil. Although it is expensive to take off once, the power and duration that Menghuo oil can provide is far stronger than that of high-strength beer!" The dwarf Engineer Kag-Bronzebeard continued: "At the same time, I added a burst gun and a small bomb bay to the crew of the rotorcraft, which can accommodate four high-explosive detonator bombs, and modified the trigger lead to drop bombs. Time faster and more efficient! If the detonator bombs landed in the densest part of the battlefield, hahaha~~~"
   "Death fell from the sky." Lailun said a word to describe it.
   Kag nodded vigorously, and said in a loud voice, "Baron Lailun is right! Death falls from the sky!"
"Mr. Kaggar, is your rotorcraft stable? If you are given priority to focus fire in the battle, your safety is very important." Lailun walked to the other side, asked this key question, and flew the small plane. It was a good thing, but something went wrong with the only dwarf engineer in the Baron, and Lailun didn't know where to go to find another.
"Don't worry, Lailun friend." The feeling of being valued made the dwarf engineer very happy, and he laughed: "The materials for forging the fuselage include expensive secret gold and fine iron, and I also commissioned Langone. Helped to engrave steel runes and blessing runes, the fuselage is more solid and reliable! The loss of the bow on the ground can't cause damage at all, haha~~~"
   "What if it's a volley of muskets? The dwarf master, what should we do? And magic." Hector also walked in front of the rotorcraft. He had to say that the dwarf's craftsmanship opened his eyes.
   "Uh...." The Eternal Knight Commander stopped the dwarf engineer Karg, and the long-bearded dwarf scratched his head and tugged his beard. He didn't think of how to deal with the threat of black powder weapons and magic.
"Miss Rosamina can make obsidian engravings, which can deflect magical attacks and direct firepower to a certain extent. Maybe she can help you." Lailun proposed a solution and played a roundabout. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Little attention can be given to the small existence of the rotorcraft, but it is a good thing to have more precautions.
"Magic power? Oh! No, no, Lailun friend, how can my masterpiece be tainted by magic... I mean, there's no need for that." Kaggar laughed again and again, and there was some contempt in his laughter, Shaking his head, he decisively rejected the suggestion.
The dwarven engineers are already a less stubborn group of dwarves. If they are rune blacksmiths, any improvement will not be accepted. Karg and his clan have traveled outside the mountains for many years, and they are as tough as most. For stone dwarves, he...is a good talker. …
   "Okay." Leron shrugged, respecting the dwarf engineer's wishes.
  The long-bearded dwarf also laughed without saying a word, but he glared at Hector angrily, thinking that this young human being was not pleasing to the eye.
   "Patriarch Kaggar, is there only one type of rotorcraft?" Lailun looked at it for a while: "Are there other ones with more diverse functions and more specialized in certain aspects.... rotorcraft?"
"Of course there is!" Kager raised his chest and stroked his beard with one hand and said proudly: "After hundreds of years of research and development and production, our engineers in the mountains have roughly divided the rotorcraft into two types: basic type and bomber type. Sex is just like I made it, swapping out the weapons the crew assembles."
"Most improved gyroplanes were fitted with a steam cannon, a deadly weapon that blasted deadly steam sprays and massive lead projectiles into enemy ranks, tearing them into steaming shreds; some crews fired steam The cannon has been replaced with a more deadly sulfur cannon. This weapon will spray the ignited liquid sulfur on the enemy, causing deadly group kills. Such an attack method is used by engineering masters when fighting against hordes of goblins and ratmen. Proved very effective."
   "What about the bomber type?" Lailun asked curiously.
"Bombing the rotorcraft, the length of the fuselage has been extended, and the propellers have changed from one pair to two front and rear. The higher carrying capacity enables their bomb bays to accommodate more bombs, and the bomber's job is to kill in a large area, even It can change the war situation to a certain extent, of course, extending the fuselage and increasing the weight also means the flight speed is slower, which has advantages and disadvantages!" Kager explained it carefully for Lailun: "Like Eternal Peak The Sky Thunder Bomber formation, the Sky Hammer formation at Rapids Pass, and the Black Hammer Bombing Brigade at Blackhammer Fort saved the safety of the fort more than once, all of which are excellent air power!"
   "Patriarch Kag, can you make bombers? You don't need much, just a small team!" Lailun asked excitedly.
   Form your own aerospace force. Dozens of rotorcraft are loaded with bombs and bombard indiscriminately on the battlefield like ploughing fields. Think about that scene...
"Ah...haha..." The dwarf engineer scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "My baron, it is enough to have one rotorcraft, too many rotorcraft... It's not that I can't do it! It's really... one Diudiu's small difficulties need to be overcome, and besides, a formation requires at least eight rotorcraft, and each month, the maintenance fee alone requires nearly four hundred gold coins!"
   "That's not including the cost of the bomb, the engineer who drives the gyro, the beer money, the maintenance of the beard..."
   "Alright, alright, I've thought about it carefully and let it go." Lailun waved his hand quickly.
He has seen the cost of the dwarf engineer to make the rotorcraft, as well as the various expenditure bills about the rotorcraft in the past month. Before and after, about 1,300 gold coins were spent in Lailun. If a formation is really formed , the Barony had to go bankrupt.
After   Lilun said goodbye to the dwarf engineer, as soon as he returned to the castle, he received an unexpected support.
