In the southwest of the royal capital, on a large flight training ground, five speakers including Lynn, Harof, and Anthony, as well as a group of great wizards who participated in the production of the new fighter planes gathered here to watch the first test flight together.
"Is this the supersonic fighter you developed? It looks pretty good!" Harov couldn't help but admire the flat-shaped behemoth in front of him, which was more than six meters tall, eighteen meters long, and had a wingspan of more than twelve meters.
Anthony, Aurora and others were attracted by the new fighter's perfectly aerodynamic and streamlined body as soon as they arrived at the training ground. The metal shell made of mithril sparkled in the midday sun, and it was unforgettable at first sight.
Although Lynn had anticipated this, he was still surprised that Dennis could produce it within a few months. It can only be said that wizards with atomic-level control capabilities have too great an advantage in engineering.
It is said that in order to manufacture this fighter plane as quickly as possible, the Alchemy Research Institute mobilized five great wizards and hundreds of official wizards.
"Speakers, Master Dennis, are we ready to start?" The half-orc girl had made preparations early, climbed into the cabin, put on her protective gear, and asked impatiently.
Lynn looked at Dennis, and when he nodded, he told Lydia to start!
All the wizards present looked over there, and even Dennis couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Even though he was confident in his creation, this was indeed the first manned test flight.
"Buzz~" With a deafening roar, Lydia pressed the start switch, and in an instant, a long tail flame shot out from the two huge nozzles at the rear of the fighter.
The powerful thrust caused the half-orc girl to hit the seat at the back hard. Fortunately, Lydia, who participated in the production of the fighter plane, was well prepared and did not panic. She held the lever tightly and maintained her balance.
Under the gaze of everyone, the silver fighter plane quickly crossed the runway and flew into the sky in just two seconds.
"What a fast speed!" exclaimed the great wizard Tim on the side.
"It hasn't started yet!" Dennis shook his head. The new fighter plane has two modes, subsonic and supersonic. During the take-off phase, the speed can only be considered sparse and normal! At the same time, at an altitude of thousands of meters, Lydia flew steadily for a while, and after fully adapting to the control of the fighter plane, she solemnly started the supersonic mode.
The thrusters inside the fighter plane suddenly started to operate rapidly. A large amount of compressed hydrogen-oxygen mixture was pumped into the combustion chamber and then detonated instantly. The high-temperature and high-pressure airflow shot out through the pipe, and after being accelerated through the Laval tube, the speed was increased by several levels again.
The tail flame, which was originally half a meter long, instantly expanded to more than two meters. A violent sonic boom resounded in the sky, presenting an extremely magnificent scene in front of Harov and others.
The silver fighter plane flew through the sky at an unimaginable speed, breaking the sound barrier and forming a cone-shaped air layer behind the fuselage. Combined with the long tail flame, it was like a silver-white comet passing through the sky.
"Is this the sonic boom cloud?" Tim looked at the scene in amazement. Although they had discovered this phenomenon during the wind tunnel test, it was still shocking when it actually appeared in front of them.
According to the measurement of distance and direction, the fighter's flying speed has reached three times the speed of sound, which can be seen from the three eye-catching sonic rings on the tail flame.
"Very good, it looks like everything is going well!" Dennis nodded with great satisfaction. What he was most worried about was that when the supersonic mode was activated, the huge speed increase and the terrible wind resistance would cause the fighter to lose balance and fall.
Fortunately, Lydia's skills were extremely superb, and the thing he was most worried about did not happen.
Next up is the battle test!
"Who will come?" Lynn turned and looked at Harof, Aurora, Vittorio and Anthony.
This supersonic fighter will be sent to a foreign land to perform a mission, so actual combat exercises are naturally very important, especially being able to deal with legendary enemies, which is extremely critical.
Several speakers were very interested in this new type of fighter, and Harov spoke first with great interest.
"Let me do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Harof turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky.
Lynn nodded and simultaneously sent the message to Lydia through the magic network.
"Are we going to fight?" Inside the cockpit of the fighter plane, the half-orc girl was not afraid at all. Instead, she was a little excited. She didn't expect that she could compete with the legendary speakers.
However, despite her excitement, Lydia, who had extensive experience in flying and aerial combat, did not dare to be careless and paid 120% attention.
Under the perception of electromagnetic radar and magic, Harof's flight trajectory was extremely obvious, like a blue star, constantly approaching Lydia.
The two sides quickly closed the distance, and after crossing the safe distance of 1.5 kilometers, Lydia took the first step.
From behind the several cylindrical bombs mounted on both sides of the fighter plane, tail flames identical to those of the fighter plane were emitted, and then they broke free from their restraints and flew towards the oncoming Harov at an unimaginable speed.
At the same time, Lydia was dragging the lever, controlling the fighter plane to climb rapidly upwards.
"So fast!" Seeing several bombs flying towards him, the same sonic boom clouds as those of the fighter planes appeared around them, and Harov was a little surprised.
Unfortunately, the accuracy was not very good, and none of these bombs were aimed directly at him.
Harof, who was very interested, had no intention of dodging. Instead, he went forward and built a powerful magic shield around him, intending to test the strength of these attacks.
The speed of both sides reached the extreme, and it took less than three seconds to cross the distance of five kilometers!
Harof soon collided with one of the flying bombs. The explosive shock wave swept across the entire space, tearing the magic shield covering his body into pieces, but was immediately blocked by the legendary realm.
That's it... That's it? Harof was somewhat disappointed. An explosion of this magnitude alone could not hurt him, let alone pose a substantial threat to the other legends.
But Harov soon discovered something was wrong, because the fire produced by the explosion was pouring into his area at an extremely fast speed, and even made him feel an unspeakable threat.
Just as Harov realized something was wrong, on the training ground below, Dennis was proudly introducing the bombs loaded on the fighter planes to several speakers. He also installed a small thruster inside these bombs.
The flight principle is similar to that of a fighter plane, and due to its small size, its speed can reach more than four times the speed of sound! The moment each bomb is detonated, the chlorine trifluoride in the form of compressed gas inside will explode after contacting the burning material on the outer layer, covering an area of 300 meters in radius. If multiple bombs are launched together, it is enough to turn a large area of airspace into a sea of fire. Even enemies flying at the speed of sound will not have time to evade.
The only drawback is that it is too complicated to manufacture. Each sonic bomb is equivalent to a small fighter plane. If the materials and labor are converted into money, it would be worth at least five hundred gold coins!
In other words, Lydia's attack cost her several thousand gold coins!
Vittorio and the others didn't care about the expense. If they could threaten a legend by throwing out a few thousand gold coins, it would undoubtedly be a very cost-effective deal.
"Harof is too careless." Aurora couldn't help but shook her head as she watched Harof, who was so stubborn that he collided directly with the bomb.
Fortunately, although the Eternal Flame is powerful, to some extent, its ability to burn everything is very restraining to the energy body. However, this is not the first time that Harof has faced this thing. Even though he was caught off guard and looked a little embarrassed, he still successfully escaped the fate of being swallowed by the Eternal Flame.
"It's such a waste to use up all the bombs at once. If we fail to hit the enemy, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, right?" Lin En said with a frown as he watched the ever-changing battle situation in the sky.
Dennis naturally understood this shortcoming, but it was too difficult to aim and hit an enemy at high speed!
We can only rely on such large-scale attacks.

"In that case, why not create a bomb that can automatically track the enemy and adjust its trajectory in mid-air?" Lin En said thoughtfully.
Some psychic wizards can use magic to separate their own consciousness and control huge golems. Perhaps this knowledge can be applied to aerial bombs and perhaps tracking bombs can be produced.
Combining the principles of missiles from his previous life, Lin En told Dennis how to make the flying bomb automatically approach to detect the enemy's position and track it through infrared sensing and radar detection.
Although they have not yet figured out computer and chip technology, it would be more convenient to use psychic magic instead.
Listening to Lynn's story, Dennis's eyes lit up and many new improvement plans immediately emerged in his mind. If the testing of the new fighter had not been completed, he would have been eager to start researching it.
"Why not just call it a guided missile!" Lynn said with a smile.
Anthony, Aurora and Vittorio listened to the discussion between the two men, and for a moment they didn't know whether to be happy or helpless. Now this new type of fighter plane is already a big threat to the legend. Once Dennis makes guided missiles, it will become even more difficult.
At this moment in the sky, the battle was becoming more and more intense. After suffering another loss, Harof became serious. The strong thunder net covered the entire area in an instant.
However, the fighter planes were flying too fast. After the previous attack failed, Lydia switched to a mobile combat mode, always keeping a distance between the two sides and using machine guns to harass from a distance.
Even though this did not pose any actual threat to Harov, it was still as annoying as a fly.
There are only two ways to deal with such a high-speed enemy. The first is to use a faster speed so that the opponent cannot avoid the attack. The second is to predict the position in advance and use a covering attack.
After experimenting, Harov quickly discovered that the simplest first method was actually the least useful.
The only things that can make supersonic fighters unable to avoid are thunder and laser magic.
It’s a pity that the effects of both are very limited.
Electromagnetic spells will be blocked by the electromagnetic shield covering the fighter plane. The laser beam is fast enough, but the killing radius is limited. Even a fifth-level laser beam will be greatly reduced in power after crossing a distance of 500 meters, and it will not be enough to break through the fuselage with a high-strength graphene coating on the surface.
If there is any weakness, it is that the new fighter has no protection against gravity manipulation, which is exactly the magic that Harof is best at.
After using gravity to disrupt Lydia's perception of direction and combining it with large-scale magical attacks, the battle lasted about twenty minutes before the winner was decided.
If Harov had not stopped in time, the fighter plane would have been shot down.
Lydia, who escaped death, returned obediently to complete the flight training. Even though she suffered a "crushing defeat" in the end, she could not hide her excitement. After all, being able to deal with a legendary speaker for a while was an honor in defeat!
If you choose to fight or even run away at the beginning, the opponent may not be able to catch up with you.
Lin En and the others were also extremely satisfied. It was already amazing that an alchemical creation that could be mass-produced could reach such a level and could contain a legendary combat force.
What's more, the fighter jets can still be improved, and Lydia's driving skills are still lacking, so there is still a lot of room for improvement.
"There are only two weeks left before the three and a half month deadline. You have to work harder, Lydia. Once you arrive in a foreign land, those enemies will not show mercy like Speaker Harrov." Lynn patted Lydia on the shoulder and said.
Dennis hurriedly called the alchemists to come forward to check and drag the experimental machine back. He had a lot of inspiration again, and perhaps he could make new modifications to this thing, and he enthusiastically asked Lin En to participate.
"Forget it. I don't have time recently." Lynn shook his head and rejected Dennis' invitation.
Although he had finished writing the theory of relativity, according to Alok's report, the magic base stations in various places had been built, and the high-speed particle collider he had people build was almost done.
The importance of the deification ceremony and antimatter is obviously greater, as it is directly related to whether they can defeat the Lord of the Undead.
