Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 564: Eagle spreads its wings

The Fool left the airship base of the Crystal Wars in the bright and warm sunshine and continued to float up. Only more than ten minutes later, when the airship base of the Crystal Wars on the ground became smaller than the ant, the Fool It has already flown to an altitude of 7 kilometers from the ground, and the distance from the Crystal Castle is more than 50 kilometers.

This distance, in the Cernes theater, has entered the battle zone between the two sides, and it is possible to encounter the Wing Demon at any time, and the entire crew of the Fool airship has also entered a state of combat.

And this height is almost close to the maximum suspension height of the Stormrage-class airship of 8 kilometers. At this height, you can easily see the exposed black coal mining areas on the Cernes Plain and the war zone. The human line of defense formed by the continuous trenches and battle castles on the ground in the south.

The entire underground of Cernes Plain is full of high-quality anthracite. The Terran Coalition chose here as the first line of defense against the demons. In addition to the terrain here is more suitable for the deployment of human mechanized forces, the most important one is In Cernes Plain, the logistical pressure of the Terran Legion can be reduced to a minimum.

No matter where you are, you only need a few people to dig into the ground, and you can get extremely high-quality anthracite. These anthracites can provide endless power for human battle castles, tanks, various vehicles, and even airships.

Looking at the black coal mining areas on the plains that looked like scars, Zhang Tie immediately understood the intentions of the high-level human coalition forces. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that the height determines the field of view.

However, at this moment, Zhang Tie didn't want to give some pointers here, but was making the final preparations and arrangements for his flight.

"After I left, the Fool's airship was flying around in this area..." Zhang Tie said as he drew a circle with his hand on the aerial map of the command module. The circle was 50 to the north of the Crystal Fortress. A fan-shaped area within 100 kilometers, "If you encounter a Wing Devil’s attack and you can’t resist it, I allow you to retreat in the direction of the Crystal War Fort. If I don’t return within 48 hours, you can also withdraw the crystal first. Warburg, if you don’t see me within two weeks, it means I’m in an accident. You can decide your own itinerary. You can stay or leave. This Fool airship will be handed over to Jin Yunguo’s airship. The troops continue to serve on the battlefield!"

Before the official flight, taking into account various unexpected factors, Zhang Tie must explain everything clearly to the people on the airship. The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. Don't say yourself, even if a knight-level person comes to the Cernes war zone, It is not necessarily that there will be no accidents.

Listening to Zhang Tie’s command that seemed to be giving his last words, a group of people in the command cabin glanced at each other, and finally focused everyone’s attention on the airship’s first officer, after Zhang Tie personally piloted the glider and left the airship. , The first officer is acting on the airship as the captain of the airship.

The chief officer looked at Zhang Tie, with both heartfelt admiration and dignity in his eyes. Every crew member on the Fool knew very well what kind of risk he would take when driving a glider in the Cernes theater. Almost all people who dare to fly gliders in the Sernes theater are similar to the deaths. Even if the airship Fool has just arrived in the theater, everyone has heard of a nickname owned by glider pilots in the theater— -Air Stormtrooper.

This is the highest death rate in the entire theater. Its death rate has surpassed that of the stormtroopers in the theater corps. I heard that in the entire theater of airship forces, it is necessary to draw lots to drive gliders.

No one thought that Zhang Tie would really want to drive his own airship to kill his life, so everyone’s mood is a bit complicated, and some people still look like they can’t believe it-driving a glider to fight with Wing Demon, this crazy idea, I am afraid that even a lunatic dare not think about it. But the captain of the airship Fool was about to do such a crazy thing.

Is this a madman or a fool? Nobody knows……

"Before taking such an adventure, I think the captain, you'd better determine your flight area!" Under the gaze of everyone, the chief mate who spoke on behalf of everyone deliberated, in the airship designated by Zhang Tie On the periphery of the cruising area, a triangular area is drawn, "If you can fly in this area, the Fool can echo with you, this is the safest way!"

Zhang Tie smiled, "I understand what you mean, but you have to know that sometimes the best protection for a bird is the sky, not the bird's nest. I have confidence in my skills in flying gliders. I have confidence in my own strength. Even if something happens to me, I believe I can return to the Crystal Fortress safely. Don’t worry about this. The best thing the Fool can do with me is to survive, like a bird’s nest. Survive tenaciously in the wind and rain, don’t be blown off the tree by the strong wind, when I come back, I can still see you, when I want to attack again, you can still send me to the sky! Here! It’s my bird’s nest in Cernes war zone, understand?"

"Understood!" The airship chief took a deep breath. "Everyone on the Fool will not let you down!"

"Then, wish me luck!" Zhang Tie laughed...

...

A few minutes later, in the launching cabin of the glider on the bottom of the airship, everyone who could come on the Fool airship came over. The airship crew in the launching cabin took a 120,000 serious spirit to make every detail on the glider. After checking it again, Zhang Tie was allowed to sit on it. Everyone looked at Zhang Tie with complicated eyes, after putting on his flight suit, he sat in the cockpit of the glider and nodded towards the outside. Compared with a thumbs up posture.

"Open the hatch!"

Following the order of the chief officer, several crew members in the drop cabin quickly opened the door.

Seeing that the hatch was fully opened, a strong wind came in at once, Zhang Tie didn't speak much, but nodded at those who looked at him, and the whole glider popped out along the sliding rails. The Fool Airship...

"Salute..." The first officer on the airship roared, and everyone saluted Zhang Tie.

...

When the glider fell off the airship, Zhang Tie had a feeling of fish returning to the sea. The glider was like a javelin thrown into the water by the airship. The moment the glider left the airship, the speed of the glider was already with the fool. Like the airship No. 2, it instantly reached a speed of 150 kilometers per hour.

Only a few seconds later, Zhang Tie, feeling like a fish diving into the ocean current, stepped on the left pedal of the glider, and at the same time the elevator in his hand was pressed down, the whole glider was like a light petrel. , Flew out to the left. After flying out a few hundred meters, he felt a rising hot air current. Zhang Tie stepped on the glider's right pedal and raised the steering column. The entire glider began to fly quickly. Climbing in the hot air current, in the shocking eyes of all the crew on the airship, a beautiful "U" was drawn from bottom to top around the airship, and finally flew over the airbag of the airship and flew north...

"How can the captain cut into the hot air so quickly, so that he can make such an action all at once?" In the airship drop cabin, a crew member opened his mouth and stared blankly at the glider driven by Zhang Tie. An action made by the airship, under the control of Zhang Tie, everyone in the launch cabin felt that Zhang Tie just now was like a super-skilled racer driving a super sports car around the stormy class. The big truck makes a flexible and elegant circle on the highway.

"This, by coincidence..." a person next to him murmured and replied.

The driving of a glider is so simple. For every crew on the airship, it is like a sailor mastering a rubber boat. It is a skill that every crew member must know. If you really want to say it, one sentence can make everyone Understand how to drive a glider-the steering stick in the glider's cockpit is responsible for controlling the lift, and the foot pedal is responsible for controlling the direction.

Pull the steering rod back, the elevator will swing upwards, the nose of the glider will face up, push the steering rod forward, the elevator will swing down, and the nose of the glider will face down; step on the left pedal and the rudder will swing to the left. With the nose to the left, step on the right pedal, the rudder will swing to the right, and the nose to the right-the basic driving of a glider is as simple as that. There are four kinds of controls, not to mention an adult, but a child. You can learn it in ten minutes.

But the control of a glider is extremely difficult. The most difficult thing is to judge, grasp and use various air currents in the air, those invisible various air currents, such as topographical dynamic updraft, wavy updraft, whirling updraft, heat Updraft, etc., is the source of power for the glider to fly in the air, and it is also the only criterion for testing whether a glider pilot is good.

Those air currents are invisible and cannot be seen by you. You can only judge by your actual experience and feelings. Therefore, it may only take ten minutes to learn to fly a glider, but you want to learn to use those invisible air currents to make yourself glider The driving intention can be matched with those airflows and let those airflows be used for your own use. This effort may require at least ten years of training before you can master some.

The mastery and use of air currents is the only criterion for determining the level of a person flying a glider. Under this standard, the gap between a novice and a master is as large as the gap between a zero-level fighter and a tenth-level strong fighter. .

In this era, people use four data to measure a person's level of flying a glider. These four data are-the longest empty time, the longest flight distance, the highest climb record and the average speed of the triangle course.

Under these four data, the gap between novices and masters is clear at a glance.

The longest time left for a novice who has just learned to fly a glider is only about half an hour, the longest flying distance is within 40 kilometers, the highest climb record is less than 1000 meters, and the average speed of the triangle route is also less than 50 kilometers per hour.

It is also a glider. Under the same driving conditions, if it is said to be like a sparrow in the hands of a novice, then in the hands of a top master, it is an iron-winged eagle that can look down upon the sky.

The longest stay empty time can exceed 70 hours, the longest flight distance can exceed 2000 kilometers, the highest climb record can exceed 15000 meters, and the average speed of the triangle route is more than 220 kilometers per hour-this is the data of top glider pilots.

"The speed of the captain's glider has reached more than 300 kilometers..." While everyone below was still reminiscing about the beautiful U-shaped roll, the sound of the observation post on the airship was transmitted to the bottom through the sound tube. Everyone in the delivery cabin was stunned again.

"It's too fast, how could it be possible to reach such a speed in such a short time..." the airship's first officer murmured.

There was silence in the drop pod, and no one could answer...

...

Zhang Tie didn’t know what kind of impression he made on everyone on the Fool’s airship, and he didn’t think he had done anything too special, he was just following his own feelings. It's just flying.

Zhang Tie found that the air currents in the air, like the ocean currents in the sea, the body of Water Blessing gave him the super-sensing ability of water currents, and at this moment, it also acted on the air currents in the air.

Zhang Tie didn't know the reason for this. Perhaps it was related to both being fluids, or the effect of the induction of water vapor in the airflow, but there was no doubt that it felt the same.

This induction does not come from the touch of the skin and body, but from the natural extension of one's mental power outside of one's body.

For a moment, Zhang Tie almost thought that he was not driving a glider, but returned to the sea he was familiar with. Although this glider would certainly not control his body in the sea, it was kind of free and easy. The feeling is the same, flying in the sky under the action of air currents and flying under the ocean under the action of ocean currents, there are many similarities between the two, and many experiences and principles Zhang Tie feel It is also connected.

For example, in the ocean, the way to make your body reach the maximum speed is not to follow the ocean currents, but to quickly intersect where the ocean currents whirl and undulate, so that you can gain more power, or Different ocean currents use snake-like paths to constantly change their directions and turns, allowing themselves to continuously cut from one ocean current to another. This speed will be incredible.

In the sky, while driving a glider, Zhang Tie found that these principles are the same. Even many ocean currents in the ocean and the most hot air currents in the sky have similar shapes. Ocean currents whirl in the ocean, and The hot air in the sky is like bubbles, both of them are existing and flowing in a certain circular state.

Zhang Tie doesn’t know how others distinguish between masters and novices, but in terms of feeling, he feels that as long as he wants to, he is in the sky just like in the ocean. He can stay for a very, very long time, or fly far away. local.

Soon after leaving the Fool, Zhang Tie lowered his flying altitude and speed, controlling his altitude to about three kilometers above the ground, at a speed similar to that of an airship, and then flew toward the north. The villages burned to ruins on the Plains of Ernes kept passing under him, and sometimes the wreckage of large airships could be seen.

Only half an hour later, in the distant sky, Zhang Tie saw a few black spots. Those black spots also looked at Zhang Tie, and then flew towards Zhang Tie...
