Chapter 89 Magic Rockets
If the wind element is willing to help, it can actually be done by letting them carry people to fly.
But the flying speed will definitely not be faster.
A Category 18 typhoon travels only 73 meters per second.
This speed is not as fast as the high-speed rail, and the plane is even more incomparable!
The sword flying in Legend of Sword and Fairy is almost the same mode.
He was flying slowly in the sky with a sword under his feet, and he had not yet flown out of the province for a leisurely trip.
What Herard wanted was high efficiency, at least to exceed the flying speed of a griffin.
So he decided to build a rocket and send himself there.
The goblin engineer has done this kind of thing to seek death.
Although all kinds of air crashes continued, those green dwarfs did succeed.
As a controllable power source, the wind element is not comparable to exploding rocket fuel.
So Herard shaped a simple rocket out of granite.
Granite strengthened by magic is stronger than steel and can be used as a shell material for rockets.
Next, Herard asked the wind element to blow wind inside the engine to test whether the rocket could fly.
A strong stream of air shoots out from the bottom of the rocket.
The strong wind blew debris from vegetation near the launch site flying all over the sky.
Then the rocket flew successfully and was very stable.
Seeing that it was indeed feasible, Herard asked the wind element to reduce its output and land on the launch site.
The first recyclable rocket in history was born!
Of course, the main contribution is the wind element's precise control of airflow.
The test flight and recovery of the rocket went smoothly.
This shocked the high elves who were watching not far away.
However, Herard added two short wings to the rocket to make it more suitable for level flight.
Then he shaped a tilted launcher, placed the sizable magic rocket on it, opened the cockpit cover in the middle of the missile body and sat in.
The audience saw Harad actually sitting in this weird thing, and the launch site was filled with exclamations and discussions.
Watching a rocket fly is nothing, but a rocket carrying people is different.
Although Herard repeatedly stated that there would be no problem, the audience was still worried that something might happen.
After all, as information becomes more and more circulated, everyone knows how deadly the Goblin Engineer's rocket mount is.
That thing is flying and suddenly turns into a firework.
No one wants this young and promising mage to kill himself.
Herard waved to the audience and then closed the cockpit lid.
The wind elements, who had a launch experience, successfully pushed the magic rocket to fly out.
The magic rocket was very violent when it took off.
This thing is not much different from a rocket sending astronauts to space.
But this overload is nothing to Herard. At most, it feels like a push on his back.
Since the wind element can work for more than ten minutes, there is no threat of insufficient fuel for this magic rocket.
The wind elements quickly increased the flight speed of the magic rocket to an astonishing level.
Although there is no professional speed measurement tool, Herard speculated from the rapid changes in the mountains and rivers that it should be able to reach five times the speed of sound.
At this time, the audience at the launch site were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
It only took less than half a minute from taking off to disappearing from sight.
No mount can reach this speed!
In fact, without onlookers like them, the take-off speed could be further improved.
Starting from Quel'Thalas, you need to pass through the huge land developed by the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Even if the flight is a straight line, the distance is still two thousand kilometers.
But at five times the speed of sound, it only takes about twenty minutes.
The magic rocket flew across the sky quickly without disturbing anyone along the way.
The flying height of the magic rocket reaches 20,000 meters, which is impossible to observe with the naked eye.
When he saw the huge Lake Daronmere appearing below, Herard let the wind element gradually lower its altitude to find a suitable target for attack. As for what to use to attack, of course it is this ten-meter-long thick granite pillar.
Although it is hollow, the impact force is not small, so it can be regarded as a waste utilization.
At this time, the energy of the wind elements was almost exhausted.
But they are quite keen on wreaking havoc.
Insist on smashing the magic rocket to the place where the undead army gathers outside the Eagle's Nest Mountain.
Under their precise control, a first-generation death knight was crushed into pieces by the magic rocket.
Seeing this scene, Herard considered changing it to the shape of a giant sword next time.
Rock fragments containing powerful kinetic energy flew everywhere, knocking over all the undead creatures along the way.
In the sky above the messy impact site, Herad, who was blessed with the slow falling technique, floated slowly by, attracting an attack from the skeleton archers.
However, facing an enemy hundreds of meters above the ground, the sharp arrows fired by the skeleton archers are meaningless!
The sharp arrow can fly to a height of forty or fifty meters at most before running out of kinetic energy and falling.
The skeleton archers who failed to injure the enemy fired arrows into the sky in vain.
They completely ignored their friendly troops and were pricked by falling arrows.
Stopped by the arriving first-generation death knights, these skeleton archers continued to move forward.
After several months of exploration, the first-generation death knight has figured out how to use the power of death.
They also developed new and more useful ways to use necromancy.
For example, there are skeleton archers who can shoot arrows, and stitch monsters that are pieced together randomly.
Although it is still in its most elementary stage, it still puts a lot of pressure on the Wildhammer dwarves!
The first-generation death knight also got himself an undead warhorse mount, which looks more like that.
Of course, it is incomparable with the gorgeously equipped death horses in the later period.
This thing is a carefully processed skeleton horse that can carry the first-generation death knight everywhere.
The first-generation death knight, whose companion was killed by Herad, would certainly not let go of this hateful high elf mage.
It rode the undead horse and ran towards the landing point of the high elf mage.
Seeing this guy squatting on the ground where he landed, Herard felt very emotional.
I have to say that the first-generation death knight transformed from a warlock has pretty good intelligence!
But where does it come from such great confidence?
The current initiative on the battlefield lies with the undead army.
The combat effectiveness of the first generation Death Knight was still terrible.
They are just a bunch of wild beasts.
At most, throw a few death energy bombs and some curses that can be easily lifted.
Horad could kill it and then fight his way into the Eagle's Nest to join the Wildhammer dwarves.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the landing point, Herard started to rub a big fireball into its face, preparing to wake it up first.
However, due to the Doomhammer, the fire elemental power responded to Harad very enthusiastically.
They scrambled to get into the spell model, almost causing the spell model to collapse!
In contrast, the fireball, which was originally the size of a volleyball, suddenly expanded several times in size and almost burned Herard's hair.
This huge fireball is very unstable, and there is a vague shadow of a fire elemental creature waving its teeth and claws.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Herard quickly threw it towards the first-generation Death Knight.
The first-generation death knight was originally full of confidence. He looked at the mage getting closer and closer, as if he was waiting for prey to come to his door.
It activates the anti-magic shield, confidently withstanding the magic attack of the mage, and then knocks the mage down and tramples him to death.
When it saw the super fireball that could swallow it up, its dream was shattered!
The extremely expanding and unstable super fireball hit the anti-magic shield in an instant.
Anti-magic shield can absorb large amounts of magic damage.
But in the face of this super fireball with a large amount of fire element power stuffed into it, the anti-magic shield was instantly annihilated.
What followed was a violent explosion and a firestorm that swept across the battlefield wantonly.
Seeing this scene, Herard was speechless.
He really just wanted to say hello with a big fireball.
