Chapter 981 Valkyrja Operational

Broomstick, more commonly known as broom.

This is one of the ways wizards and witches in the wizarding world travel from one place to another by air.

Since wizards had not invented any spells that would allow them to fly in human form without the aid of any tools, they had to come up with other ways to make themselves fly.

Animagus can enjoy flight after transforming into a winged animal, but this is only rare.

Even before the International Statute of Secrecy was implemented, wizards were shrewdly aware of the need to hide their magical abilities when living among Muggles.

Therefore, if a wizard wanted to have a flying instrument in his home, it would have to be unobtrusive and easily concealed.

At the time, a broom was an ideal item—easy to carry, cheap, and able to exist openly in the home.

The original broomsticks were neither comfortable nor aerodynamic.

The earliest record of the use of broomsticks in the wizarding world dates from 962 and can be found in a German manuscript.

The broomstick of that time was often just a lumpy, unpolished ash stick with a few hazel twigs casually tied to one end, which was neither comfortable nor aerodynamic.

In 1107, the Scottish wizard Guthry Lochling wrote that after flying from Montrose to Arbroath, he was "full of spikes and bumps.

Of course, the spells cast on it are also basic:

It only flies forward at one speed; it doesn't rise, fall, or hover.

However, in the early twentieth century, with the establishment of various broomstick companies, the industrialized production chain quickly made broomsticks the darling of the modern wizarding world.

At least in the UK, almost every wizarding household owns at least one broomstick.

On the other hand, in addition to the necessary flight functions, a broomstick can also respond to some of the simplest commands, such as...

"stand up--"

Elena stretched out her right hand and raised it straight forward.

The next moment, the giant metal broom lying quietly on the ground slowly floated up and stuck to her palm.

She turned her head and glanced at Hermione, jumped up lightly, and sat sideways on the floating metal creation like a rocking chair.

"Just like no matter how big the Hyperion is, it is still a ship after all. A larger broomstick made of harder material, as long as it can fly, is certainly a flying broomstick. If you are surprised when you see this, that would be too much. A little anxious..."

Even if this "flying broom" is not made of common wood, even if it is thicker than the wooden stick in the hand of an adult troll.

But based on Elena's ordinary behavior, even if officials from the International Broomstick Federation were present, there would be nothing to question.

"Valkyria Type I, this is a top-notch broomstick jointly developed by Hogwarts, Gringotts, and the Destiny Group. Currently, all relevant information is at the highest level of confidentiality - equivalent to the true identity of the Hyperion. material."

"According to the latest relevant parameter testing, its empty weight in broom form is 2.33 tons... Of course, it is equal to zero after magic activation."

"It accelerates from 0 to 200 miles per hour in ten seconds, has a powerful braking spell and can automatically hover at any altitude."

"As for the anti-hit ability... let's put it this way, it can easily withstand 1,000 kilograms of armor-piercing projectiles and 2-ton anti-ship missiles from the front. Or it can withstand a full-power pure energy spell from a wizard of Professor Dumbledore's level."

"However, it doesn't look suitable for competition, and no one will drop bombs or chant curses on the competition field-"

Hermione glanced at Elena and calmly pointed out the shortcomings of this strange broom.

"Obviously, as a flying broomstick, its diameter is too large. Unless you are a wizard with a physique like Mr. Hagrid, most people can only sit sideways, and to move at high speed and change direction, you must ride astride. The way… it’s not practical.”

"Well, that's a problem."

Elena nodded, patted the broom lightly, sat sideways and crossed the 360-degree pendulum in the sky back to the starting point.

"Therefore, we referred to a series of flying props from other countries such as magic carpets and flying swords, and added corresponding magic spells to the Valkyria Type I to ensure that the user will not fall off the broom due to inertia, and the same applies to sitting sideways. Can be at top speed and shifting at all times—"

"Are you planning to use it in the next Quidditch match?"

Hannah looked at Elena curiously, "If it's this broom, can it block the Bludgers we throw?"

Although she couldn't understand the complicated parameters, Hannah could still roughly understand some concepts.

For example, this thing is very hard and very durable...

Because Elena used more adjectives and examples when describing her ability to resist blows.

"Well, theoretically it should be possible -"

Elena blinked and answered subconsciously.

Before the light in Hannah's eyes lit up, she added another sentence.

"But you can't play this for the time being. This was not developed for the Quidditch game - the broomstick models are just to give her a corresponding and reasonable identity. Just like more than a thousand years ago, we wizards turned broomsticks into Like a broomstick."

"so--"

Luna Lovegood looked thoughtfully at the broom in Elena's hand.

"That's not what she really looks like now, right? Maybe she's like...a bird or a snake?"

"Completely correct!"

Elena narrowed her eyes proudly.

Hermione, Luna and others were familiar with this expression.

When the corners of Bai Mao Tuanzi's mouth are raised like this, it usually means that she is extremely proud and proud.

However, in their impression, even when she led the freshman team to win the championship last year, Elena never seemed so proud.

"Has the Valkyria Type I debugging been completed? Can it be deployed?"

Elena turned around, looked at the researcher standing next to her, and asked softly.

It was only then that Hermione and others realized that everyone in the hangar had stopped what they were doing unknowingly.

Everyone silently gathered around in a large circle, looking expectantly at Elena in the center, or the giant steel broom under her body, as if she was waiting for some major ceremony, or perhaps a performance. held.

"There are still some problems with the electronic control system, but it does not affect the activation of the mobile module... Let me see -"

The project manager in charge of Valkyria Type I looked at the schedule and continued.

"Since your last deployment debugging, we have made adjustments in the armor space and completed the deployment armor in various positions, but we have not yet connected the system in series..."

"Well, to put it simply, the modeling is completed, but the skills haven't been added yet, right? I understand."

Elena quickly concluded, glancing around in the messy hangar.

To be honest, this is progressing very quickly.

Compared to the last test, less than a month has passed.

Is it indeed worthy of being the collision of the pinnacle of human civilization?

It was worth the time she spent borrowing the magic stone from Nico Flamel.

Then she jumped off the broom in a light motion, holding her palms down and forward.

The shimmering metallic "arms" floated on her chest like a legendary ancient wand.

"As you can see, the first thing to be stimulated—"

Elena said with a smile towards Hermione, Luna and Hannah.

"Don't blink, remember my steps. It's very simple. There are only three steps in total. It will be almost the same when you unfold your own Valkyrie later. Of course, that may have to wait at least half a year... After all, this first The machine is still in the debugging stage.”

"It's mysterious, no matter how good the broomstick is, it doesn't matter to me."

Luna heard Hermione muttering glumly, obviously not that high of interest.

"The second step is to enter the authorization code - for now it's my wand."

Under their gaze, Elena pulled out her wand and placed it in the slot on the side of the broom, making a crisp click sound.

"Finally, free Valkyrie."

Elena's index finger gently touched the metal handle floating in front of her.

"Valkyrja Operational—"

Suddenly a dazzling blue light flashed, and the next moment, the seemingly indestructible giant metal broom quickly disintegrated.

As if a magic box had been opened, dozens of regular metal blocks of different sizes floated around Elena.

Those armors that sparkled with metallic luster and had a unique and fascinating beauty were like moths chasing the light of fire, hovering around Elena. Elena, who was in the center, slowly floated up, her limbs relaxed as if in the water. The ground hovered in mid-air.

Light blue arcs of light were connected between the blue and white metal armor, converging to outline a network of light around Elena.

As the light becomes denser and denser, the grid becomes denser and denser, and the surrounding metal armor begins to stretch and deform.

The blue-white metal armor that originally looked a bit exaggerated gradually shrank in size, tightly covering all parts of Elena's body to form armor.

Arms, thighs, lower abdomen, chest...

Finally, the streamlined armor structure extended backward from Elena's waist, forming two flying wings like blades.

Different from the medieval armors transformed by wizards' armor spells, the blue-white armor covering Elena's body perfectly outlines the girl's figure, without any unnecessary bulges that affect her flight. She looks light, agile and full of energy. strength.

The light gradually dissipated, and Elena slowly opened her eyes, her lake-blue eyes cold and calm.

Suddenly touching Elena's line of sight, Hermione, Luna, Hannah and others stopped breathing for half a second subconsciously.

However, the next moment, the familiar agility and cunningness from the past returned to her eyes.

"How about it, you didn't expect it, did you? Isn't it beautiful!"

Elena slid lightly across the hangar dome and landed silently in front of the three little ones, unfolding her long tail gracefully.

"Valkyria Type I, the prototype is the Su-17 and the Firebolt to be developed by Gringotts. It is formed using hundreds of magic spells such as the Traceless Extension Charm, the Braking Charm, the Shock Absorbing Charm, and the Armor Charm. Individual magic armor. The estimated ultimate speed is Mach 1.9. The reinforced tail when moving at the highest speed can theoretically shred most of the conventional armor in the world today."

"Since the hybrid propulsion system has not been debugged yet, it is purely magical braking for the time being, and the maximum speed is only Mach 0.22."

"Of course, this is already twice the fastest broom in the wizarding world today."

"The finished product will not be considered until the CNC system and weapon system are debugged. This will be the future core strength of the Hyperion, an air superiority 'carrier-based aircraft' and a local battlefield terminator in the absolute sense -"
