Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 38 Takeoff
Chapter 38 - 38 Takeoff
Ersha smiled and didn't rush to give a reply.
Mavis was puzzled and also a bit anxious. Could there be some conditions for joining?
"Professor, you know how to use flying magic, right?" Sulian asked.
"Yeah," Mavis replied.
"Then how about taking a flight first?" Sulian asked with a smile.

"Ah? Is that possible!?" Mavis became excited immediately.
"Of course," Sulian said.
...
Without further ado, they directly headed towards the helipad!
According to the normal design concept of propeller planes, whether it's taking off or landing, a long runway is required. But here, it's completely unnecessary.
Although according to Sulian's requirements, the plane's flight should not use wind magic and other means to assist the flight for a long time, because that would consume a large amount of the magic power of the magic motor core. But it doesn't mean that no flying aids will be used at all.
For example, in terms of taking off and landing.
The initial speed required for takeoff can be achieved directly by using wind magic for catapulting. For the taxi needed for stopping, after turning off the propeller, it can directly stop in mid-air with the help of the reaction force of wind magic, and then directly land vertically in the form of
hovering!
That is to say, a plane based on magic can completely take off in a short distance and land vertically!
It is precisely because of this that their plane test flights can be carried out in this small bay where there is a tank training ground.
"Come on, this is Gaby Walton, the pilot with the best flying skills here at present. He doesn't have that side effect like the tank driver," Sulian briefly introduced.
"Hello, Lord Lendel and Your Highness Prince Ersha!" Gaby saluted in the military way!
He was selected from Ersha's private army, so he was quite serious in this regard.
"Originally, the plan was for me to take you on a flight, and then he would fly alongside us for a round. But now, let him take you," Sulian said.
"I promise to complete the mission!" Gaby said.
The sense of reassurance brought by this serious attitude also calmed Mavis's nervousness a little.
"Is this your invitation to me?" Nalin teased.
"Then don't go?" Sulian looked at her with a hint of disgust.
The original plan was changed because of her. After taking her to drive the tank, he also knew that Nalin would definitely be interested in taking a flight on the plane.
...
The two planes were being debugged. After all, they were about to take off, and they needed to be checked and debugged before each departure.
"Report, there are no problems!" The debugging personnel said.
"Okay," Sulian replied.
"Report! There are no fishermen found in the sea area either. They have all returned to the port!" Someone from the other side came to report.
After crossing the mountain beside them, there was the only seaport in the dominion, and naturally, there were fishermen going out to sea to catch fish.
However, they had been busy here for so long, and it was already evening. There might be magical beasts active in the sea at night, so fishermen usually returned to the seaport before dusk.
"Add soundproof magic," Sulian commanded.
The magician in charge added soundproof magic to the two planes.
This time, they were going to leave this military port area. The humming sound of the propellers was still too loud, and this sound could travel far over the completely open sea.
At the same time, a large magic array had actually been set up around the entire military port.
One of the main effects of the magic array was soundproofing, because there would be test firings of magic cannons and other things here, and the sound would be very loud. At the same time, there was also concealment magic to ensure that if there were magicians or other people passing by in the sky,
or those who happened to enter the deep mountains, they wouldn't find out that this place had actually been built into a military port.
The coverage area also included the only huge warship docked in the military port.
"Get on it. This model also has a double seat," Sulian said.
"Okay." After simply casting a levitation magic, Mavis floated into the back seat.
Gaby skillfully boarded the plane.
On Sulian's side, he also pulled Nalin and they boarded the other plane together.
...
"Let's have some missions. Are there still targets in the designated area?" Sulian asked.
"Report! There are still some," Gaby replied.
"Then each of us destroys three targets and then returns. Is there any problem?" Sulian asked.
"Yes, Lord Lendel!" Gaby said.
"Then get ready," Sulian said.
The ground personnel also began to give the takeoff instructions. Under the flag signals specified by Sulian, the two of them started the propellers.
The propeller rotation speed was stable, and all the magic indicators were stable!
The flag signal indicated takeoff!
With the assistance of wind magic, there was a short-distance catapult!
The fuselage pulled up the elevation angle and left the ground!
Amid Mavis's surprise in the face of the strong wind, the plane she and Gaby were flying in left the ground and quickly climbed in altitude!
"It's really that simple to just..." Mavis was too surprised to find the right words.
As a seventh-level Grand Magus, she was very aware that the magic power consumed during takeoff was so small that it was nothing compared to that of a regular knight mecha. You know, the plane was still using the most common low-level magic motor core!
It was incredible!
However, what Mavis didn't know was that during the research and development of the plane last year, the aerodynamic design made him, Uncle Cam, and others lose a lot of hair.
Although Sulian had built a small plane by himself in his previous life, in fact, many of its parts were bought. He had never made something from scratch all by himself. Especially since all these had to meet the requirements of combat, the requirements for aerodynamics were extremely high.
...
"Gaby, you take command," Sulian communicated through a magic item.
"Yes, Lord Lendel!" Gaby replied. "Then, as we are about to enter the night conditions, turn on the night vision magic assistance!"
According to normal training, Gaby began to give the most standard commands.
The purpose of Sulian asking him to do this was very simple, which was to show Mavis the most ordinary state. If he did it himself, it would have a different meaning.
After flying continuously for a while.
"We are about to enter the designated airspace. Pay attention to observing the targets on the sea level and check the charging status of the magic cannons!" Gaby said.
"Ready!" Sulian also replied normally.
At this moment, they had arrived at a sea area where magical beasts would appear. Fishermen wouldn't come here. And on this sea surface, there were buoys fixed with magic. As long as the magic items at the bottom of the sea didn't move, the buoys would always be in the fixed position.
"Targets found. Prepare for battle!" Gaby said.
"The number of targets exceeds twenty. Based on the high anti-aircraft firepower standard, maintain the current altitude and attack!"
Magic attacks have distance and altitude limitations. After exceeding these limitations, the magic power will decay, especially for weaker magic attacks. So in normal wars, as long as the traditional air cavalry maintains a certain altitude, the knight mechas on the ground can't attack them.
"Lock the targets and attack freely!" Gaby said.
"Received!" Sulian replied.
Following the normal orders, Sulian lowered the fuselage, directly aimed at the buoy on the sea surface and fired the magic cannon!
The thunder element magic cannon was fired and hit the target precisely!
On the other side, Gaby also hit a buoy. After hitting the targets, the two quickly pulled up the fuselage and waited for the magic cannon to charge before repeating this action again.
It was very standardized.
But all of this was extremely shocking to Mavis!
...
Because Sulian and the others had really managed to use the flying weapon made with a cheap low-level magic motor core to launch an attack equivalent to that of a third-level knight to destroy the ground targets!
Is the air cavalry the dominant force in the sky? Only specially made knight mechas can deal with them?
What a joke!
This relatively cheap mass-produced plane is the real future overlord of the sky!
