Another prototype is born!

Ruerno looked at the float in front of him...... Maybe it shouldn't be called a 'float', because it has completely lost its traditional 'boat' appearance and has become a cylinder, just with four wings added to the middle of the barrel and the tail, and a rudder above the tail to control the direction, which looks like a steel eagle.

The prototype of the floating boat is iron-black as a whole, and in some places you can even see huge rivets, which crudely nail the steel plates together, which looks extremely ugly and has no beauty at all.

The lower part is basically occupied by the [Anti-Gravity] Circle, and after the [Anti-Gravity] Circle rises to a certain distance, other circles will be activated one after another, in order to save energy consumption, even the [Wind Barrier] is not engraved too much, so they simply added a layer of cover on top of it, completely covering the area where people are active.

In this way, in order to control the 'hull'...... No, the 'body', this is no longer a float, this is a brand new, flying machine, then simply call it an 'airplane'!

In order to control the airframe, the helmsman's position, which was originally located at the stern of the hull, could only be moved forward, to the very front of the fuselage, and only here could the pilot see ahead.

However, considering the possible danger in the sky, they had to expand the nose of the aircraft to the left and right again, and even the wings had to expand two combat platforms, which also caused the ugly appearance of the aircraft today-

The spade-shaped nose is connected to the relatively slender fuselage, and the two battle compartments extending from the cab are reserved for mages, and on the wings in the middle of the fuselage, there are two circular battle platforms, which can be used by both air knights and mages.

The plane itself is not loaded with any offensive weapons, nor is it engraved with any offensive circles, because the magic circles used to support 'flight' and 'defense' are already able to consume almost all the energy reserves, and if those things are added, then the plane should not be used as a 'transport', but become a 'fighting machine'.

However, the purpose of developing this thing in the first place was not to be used as a 'fighting machine'......

Ruerno sighed, time was still too tight, if his life could be a little longer, and if the Demon Tide could arrive a little later, then it would be better.

It's a pity that the situation is stronger than people, and in this kind of thing, his luck is not so good......

"Test flight!"

Ruerno immediately gave the order, he didn't have much time left, even as a legendary mage, he was unlikely to be dizzy, but as time went by, his body would become weaker and weaker, and it was basically impossible to come to the scene to direct the work like he was now.

His time was running out, so he had to hurry up and get everything done before he fell, not leaving it to Charlemagne and Elba, who weren't so concerned about it.

Everything was so silent, and after the crew activated the [Anti-Gravity] circle, the plane slowly began to lift.

Everything was carried out in tension, and the crew members had undergone rigorous training, but this was their first time operating an airplane, even if they had ever operated an airship, it was useless, and airships and airplanes were completely different concepts.

Everything went so smoothly that the plane quietly lifted off to the air under the dark excited gaze of Urno, and then slowly closed the [Anti-Gravity] circle while activating the circle on the fuselage and wings.

Next, the plane is going to 'ride the wind'!

Without any propulsion, it is similar to the design of airships and floatships, but airplanes do not have 'sails', so they designed many magic circles and inscribed them on the fuselage and wings.

There is no need to consider the wind speed, because the shape of the aircraft is designed according to 'aerodynamics', which means that even if the body is too heavy, at a certain altitude, it can glide with the help of a small amount of [anti-gravity] circle.

At this time, activate the magic circle on the fuselage and wings, then the aircraft will be able to control the wind in the sky, not 'riding the wind', but 'riding the wind'!

They watched as the swarthy mech slowly slid under the blue sky, an illusion that seemed slow to them.

"Here we go...... Started ......"

Rurno's eyes widened, and even he couldn't help but hold his breath.

Listening to the murmurs and whispers coming from behind, his heart was also quite excited.

According to their plan, the plane would circle Norman and then return here.

If they had designed it correctly, the planes would have turned off the fuselage and wings one by one as they were ready to reach the end, and on the other side, they would activate the anti-gravity circles and land successfully - but all this was just calculations, and even now, they couldn't afford to take it lightly!

Slowly, the plane shrank to a small black dot in their eyes, and then gradually, the black dot enlarged again in their eyes.

There were no cheers, not even any sounds, even the sound of breathing was extremely muffled, and everyone's attention was on the dark, ugly prototype.

The staff present included mages, ordinary coolies, and some mechanics, who watched silently, not feeling their hearts beating faster.

It's close, it's close, it's almost there!

Ruerno didn't wait to enter the [Magic Vision] like his students, and used the [Eagle Eye] to observe the opening and closing of the magic circle engraved on the plane.

But his hands, hidden under the wide sleeves, were clenched together, and he stared straight at the prototype with a determined gaze.

He was ready to come to the rescue, because he didn't know if the crew members would be able to land according to the regulations, maybe they would get into a lot of trouble during the landing, maybe they wouldn't be able to fully control the position when they landed......

Whatever happens, there is a chance that this experiment will end in failure, but even if the experiment fails, he will let those people live!

They have already had a very successful take-off and flight, and even if something goes wrong during the 'landing', they are quite good pilots, and their experience allows the aircraft to be further improved.

They must live, and only then will the development of the aircraft be successful.

The plane slowly descended, and the landing gear was touching the ground......

Wow!

"Ah!!h

People shouted, they screamed, everyone cheered, even Ruerno raised his arms and waved excitedly.

It worked!

The plane took off, flew well, and landed - this ugly-looking steel monster has conquered the skies!

They no longer need to rely on other countries for transportation, they don't need to buy the technology of 'steam trains' from the Ogordon Empire, they already have their own technology.

Airships can't be mass-produced, floatboats can't be mass-produced, but 'airplanes' can, this new type of transport can!

With it, it is possible to travel from the south to the north of the empire even in a short time, which is an epoch-making invention!

Ruerno believed that not only the Ogordon Empire, but even the Duchy of Sorrow was developing its own transportation technology, and the carriage was clearly behind the times.

But that doesn't matter anymore, the Ogordon Empire has conquered the earth, their Kurkut Empire has conquered the sky, and no matter what new means of transport appear in the Duchy of Sorrow, it doesn't have much to do with them.

They've got their own technology, they've done a great journey!

There may be more than one winner in this world, but they themselves are one of the winners, what else do they need to fear?
