Entering the hangar, Owen finally saw the world's first aircraft, the propeller plane, carefully built by dwarven craftsmen.The aircraft was a pull-in propeller with the propeller mounted in front of the engine and "pulling" the engine forward, while the engine was mounted right in the nose of the fuselage.The main material used in the manufacture of aircraft is aluminum alloy.Because it has the lightest weight without sacrificing sufficient strength, stiffness and reliability to ensure that the total weight of the aircraft is not too heavy.The bottom of the aircraft is equipped with three wheels, two larger wheels on the inside of the wing, and one small wheel under the tail.This makes the fuselage as a whole in a high forward and low attitude, which helps the aircraft to take off.In terms of weapons, the cannons on both sides of the wings, and the rear machine gun behind the cockpit have been left in place, but they have not yet been installed.By the way, look at the interior of the cockpit, there are two back-to-back seats.In front of it is the official pilot's seat, which is responsible for piloting the aircraft and controlling the wing machine gun or mid-axis cannon to attack the target in front.In the back is the seat of the electromechanic, who is responsible for radio operation and navigation tasks in addition to operating the rear-firing machine gun.After carefully inspecting the plane, Owen nodded with satisfaction and said appreciatively, "Well, yes, handing it over to you dwarven craftsmen is just reassuring." ”"Of course!"
Tilion reached out and grabbed his beard, his chin lifted in vigour, his face full of pride."
The dwarf must be a high-quality product.""
Then let me fly it myself and see if the plane can fly into the sky smoothly."
As he spoke, Owen put on a look of eagerness to try, and he couldn't wait to get into the cockpit and fly the plane.Before that, he turned to look at the others present and asked, "By the way, there is still a seat in the cockpit, who wants to do the first flight test with me?"
”Hearing this, Marpel and Teresa each stepped forward, but before they could speak, they were preempted by Tilion."
Your Majesty!"
Tilion hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded, "This plane was made by us dwarves, and we should be the first subhumans to fly on it." ”"That's right!""
Your Majesty, let us elect a representative to accompany you on your plane."
Seeing this, the other dwarven craftsmen chimed in.Oh?
The dwarven craftsmen were so active this time, remembering the last time they test-drove the armored car, none of them got into the car.It seems that the matter of flying into the sky is a supreme honor for the dwarven craftsmen, and it is full of temptation."
Okay then."
Owen nodded in agreement, "Who are you going to send to sit in the back of the cockpit?"
”They got the opportunity to fly for the first time, but they didn't have a decision about who to send as the representatives of the dwarven craftsmen, and everyone wanted to be the first dwarf to fly into the sky.There was no way, the dwarf craftsmen had to choose a representative by guessing the fist.This is actually their favorite game to play when drinking, and the winner gets a drink of the loser's glass.In the end, Tilion won the first flight, and he couldn't help but laugh."
Hahaha—the first dwarf to take to the skies was me, Tilion!
This is enough to go down in history, and my name will be left on the kingdom history books!
Hahaha-" "Damn!
At the last moment, luck actually deteriorated. ”The dwarven craftsman who competed with Tilion in the final said with a look of unwillingness."
Alright!
Tilion, it's getting late, so sit down. ”Owen urged."
Oh!"
Tilion hurried over, "I'm coming!"
”Before entering the cockpit, Owen is equipped with a lava armor, and later he will hand over control of the armor to the AI butler Alpha so that he can fly the plane."
Your Majesty, this ......"
Seeing that Owen was going to fly the plane in this posture, Tilion was speechless for a moment."
I don't vouch for my airplane piloting skills."
In this regard, Owen shrugged his shoulders and said: "Moreover, this aircraft is the first time to conduct a test flight, and no one can guarantee that it will not break down suddenly during the flight, so I must do some insurance." ”Hearing this, Tilion suddenly felt a little cowardly, which is more important, his life or honor?"
If the plane crashes, then wouldn't I ......"
"Please rest assured."
Owen raised his hand and interrupted, "Isn't this an umbrella bag?"
Besides, I'll stop by to save you. ”The plane hadn't even taken off yet, and it was really unlucky to mention the crash."
Alright then, I trust your skills, Your Majesty."
In the end, Tilion chose to pluck up the courage, put on his umbrella bag, climbed into the cockpit, and sat in the back seat.Since the Lava Armor is capable of flying, Owen doesn't need a parachute.Entering the cockpit of the plane, Owen handed over control of the Warframe to Alpha, who immediately took control of the Warframe and began to inspect the various instruments in the cabin.The exterior inspection was handed over to the dwarven craftsmen, and after confirming that there were no problems, Owen drove the plane out of the hangar and onto the runway.In order to witness the moment of takeoff, the others moved to an open field not far from the runway to watch the first flight.Can such a big guy really fly?
In the ranks of reserve soldiers, Sam couldn't help but swallow his spit, and he didn't dare to take his eyes off the plane for a moment.Before taking off, Owen turned his head and asked, "Are you ready?"
I'm going to get started. ”"Ready."
There was a hint of unease in Tilion's tone of reply.When everything was ready, Owen immediately piloted the plane on the runway and began to glide, getting faster and faster, and after crossing the take-off line, the speed reached the take-off standard, and the plane took off naturally.When taking off, the wheels in front of the plane first leave the ground and fly into the sky in a backward position, gradually climbing in altitude.At the moment of takeoff, Tilion, who was sitting at the back of the cockpit, clearly felt that his body was leaning forward, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he grabbed the handle in the cabin with both hands."
It's flying!""
Oh!
This big guy can really fly into the sky!
”"Your Majesty the King is amazing!"
Seeing the plane take off, the people watching below let out a burst of exclamation, and then began to praise the king.Sam, who was in the team, watched intently as the plane flew through the air, and he was very excited.It's really flying!
It turns out that ordinary humans without magic and wings can fly into the sky, and I definitely want to become an official pilot, fly the plane myself, and experience what it's like to fly in the air!
Seeing the plane take off, Sam became more determined about his goal.After a successful liftoff, Owen instructed Alpha to fly the plane over the Trans-Mountain Range to the west and not fly towards crowded places, after all, the people had not seen the plane, which could cause unnecessary disturbances.
