Chapter 979 Another Genius

Everyone present witnessed this scene.

The glider type 1 fell down the rocky ridge before it left the orbit and disappeared under the horizon - the whole process changed so fast that people didn't even have time to scream.

Roland was even more worried about the two of them.

He knew that various accidents would occur during the test flight, so he prepared multiple prototypes and planned to exchange quantity for experience, but he did not expect that the first crash would come so early.

Theoretically speaking, a glider is slow, easy to operate, and has a low load. It can fly for a long time as long as there is a little wind, and it is very friendly to novices. There are only two or three points that can easily lead to loss of control. Roland has repeatedly emphasized this when explaining the principle, but Wendy obviously pulled the nose of the plane too high, causing the plane's low speed to be quickly exhausted, thus losing the Lift.

But even at this point, it is not an irreversible dilemma.

Because Wendy can artificially create lift.

At this time, she only needs to release the downwind of the tail and reduce the wind force supporting the aircraft body, so that she can change the elevation angle to depression angle and regain the forward speed.

However, the sudden strong wind on the main wing caused the aircraft to turn over, and the only option was to abandon the aircraft.

It’s not that the glider cannot tip over, but considering the safety of the two people, the seat welded to the aircraft does not have any design such as safety belts. In addition to the armrests on both sides to fix the passengers, it is just an aluminum seat with a seat cushion and backrest. The shelf has no other binding force. Therefore, once the aircraft is turned upside down, the attitude of the crew can be imagined...

Fortunately, Tilly didn't worry everyone for too long.

A few seconds later, she appeared at the edge of the rock ridge holding Wendy's arm.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Roland asked with concern.

"Don't worry, nothing happened," Tilly smiled and breathed lightly, "In order to avoid being hit by the big guy above me, I flew down for a while, avoided it, and then climbed back up."

The ability provided by the flying magic stone is not like lightning, which has extremely strict requirements on weight. Even if it is flying with two people, there will be no obvious lag, but the consumption of magic power will increase significantly, and it will also have certain control problems. difficulty. Although the fifth princess made it easy, Roland knew that if it weren't for her outstanding control ability, this rescue would not be so simple.

"I'm sorry... Your Majesty," Wendy looked a little frustrated, "You managed to create something, but I..."

"It's not your fault. No one knows everything about flying when they are born - that is not our field." Roland quickly comforted, "And the materials used in it are more important than making it. These can all be If you recycle it afterwards, it won’t cause much damage.”

"Yes, yes..."

"I can guarantee that your Majesty's words are all true," Nightingale suddenly appeared and made a face at her friend.

Wendy was immediately relieved, "I understand...I will try again!"

Roland couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. Is this an alternative use of his lie detection ability? In addition, he always felt that since she made the other party the leader of the Witch Union, she was working too hard.

"Don't you want to take a rest first?"

"Need not!"

"Okay, but remember - safety comes first."

"Leave this to me," Tilly said with a slight smile, "Brother."

…

However, it turns out that flying is not so easy to master.

The second test flight lasted less than three minutes.

This time, Wendy made great progress and successfully made the glider type 1 jump from the horizon to a height of nearly fifty meters.

However, when turning, the wing rolled excessively.

Although it could be seen that Wendy tried her best to adjust the wind direction in order to regain the balance of the aircraft, she still failed after swinging wildly several times.

Tilly decisively pulled her out of the seat in advance, and the glider fell crookedly to the ground. The two wings were deformed to varying degrees, and it was obvious that it could not continue to take off before being repaired.

Compared to the first flight in human history, which was only three meters above the ground, this scene can already leave a mark in history for all participants.

But just flying is not enough. Roland needs to transform it into practical equipment as quickly as possible to cope with the increasingly approaching battle of divine will.

With this crashing efficiency, he will soon be able to achieve the achievement "What is it like to crash three planes in one morning?"

"What's the problem this time?"

"We encountered a crosswind," Tilly shrugged. "The speed was a bit lacking at that time."

Wendy nodded in self-reproach, "I didn't control it well. When I panicked, I lost control of the magic power. If I only paid attention to the operation of my hands, I shouldn't have fallen off."

So that's it. Roland was stunned. This was an issue that he had ignored before. A witch needs to concentrate to use her abilities. When she is in a panic environment, her abilities will be difficult to be as stable as during normal training. Once she cannot control her abilities accurately, it will not only be useless for flying the plane, but will be counterproductive.

It seems that the only way to overcome this is to practice more.

"How about - let me give it a try," Tilly said suddenly.

"You?" He was slightly startled.

"I've also taken a flight principle class. If I were to operate it, at least I wouldn't have to be distracted by controlling the wind direction, which would reduce Wendy's burden a lot. And..." Tilly raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes sparkling with eagerness to try. "I think I can control this big guy."

Seeing that Wendy had no objection, Roland agreed to her offer after thinking for a moment.

Although the reason for choosing the former for test flight at the beginning was mainly because the operator can best understand the changes and needs of the wind, so that the glider can always be in a continuous flight state, but now it seems that if you want to achieve the effect of integrating the wind and the turbine, there is no way It was so easy as he imagined.

In this case, it doesn't hurt to adjust the plan a little.

Tilly is his nominal sister and the leader of Maleficent. Making her happy is undoubtedly one of his responsibilities.

Anyway, there is only one prototype for them to mess around with now. It won't hurt if the toy is dropped. They just need to make some spare parts before the next test flight.

…

However, when the third glider left the orbit, Roland found that he had underestimated the opponent's ability.

At first, it was just flying smoothly towards the horizon and steadily increasing in altitude. But when the plane turned back towards the sun, its rhythm gradually became different.

I saw it riding on the wind, like a flexible petrel, traveling between the blue sky and the sea - although it is somewhat inappropriate to use a swallow to describe a clumsy-looking biplane, under Tilly's control, no matter it is Both turning and pitching were extremely natural. In such a nimble flight, Roland actually felt a hint of the beauty of coordination.

He realized that the other party did not rely too much on Wendy's wind power. Only when she lost both speed and height would she adjust her attitude and let the magical wind lift the plane into the sky again.

She is using the rudder surface of the wing itself to control the aircraft!

It had only been thirty minutes since she boarded the plane!

If it were a talent, it would be a bit too amazing.

Roland suddenly thought... Tilly's use of magic stones is far better than that of ordinary witches, and Agatha once mentioned that when the magic stone is driven, it is as if the body suddenly has an extra limb. It is not easy to control it well. An easy task. Could this be Tilly’s true strength as a transcendent?

——The nervous system far exceeds that of ordinary people, which brings her strong coordination and acceptance capabilities.

That's why she was able to master the art of flying in such a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but feel full of regret.

It's a pity that he can't build a Gundam.

Otherwise, the devil will have to face an ACE who can open up unparalleled numbers every day.

An hour later, amid the enthusiastic cheers of everyone, the glider lowered its tail and landed steadily on the grass.
