Chapter 648: Chapter 542: Supersonic Fighter Jet Test Flight and Tracking Missiles!

In the southwestern part of the royal capital, a large designated flight training ground gathered not only Lynn, Harrov, Anthony, and other four councilors, but also a host of arch-wizards who had participated in the creation of the new fighter jets. They were all here to witness the inaugural test flight.

“So this is the supersonic fighter jet you’ve developed? It does look impressive!” Harrov could not help but admire the massive object before him, flat in shape, over six meters tall, eighteen meters long, and with a wingspan exceeding twelve meters.

Anthony, Aurora, and the others had just arrived at the training ground and were immediately captivated by the new fighter jet’s perfect aerodynamic design. The sleek, streamlined body, crafted from Mithril, shone brilliantly in the noonday sun, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who caught a glimpse of it.

Though Lynn had anticipated it, the fact that Dennis had managed to construct it within a matter of months still surprised him; it just went to show that wizards with atomic-level control had a significant advantage in the field of engineering.

It was said that in order to produce this fighter jet as quickly as possible, the Alchemy Research Academy had mobilized no less than five arch-wizards and over a hundred official wizards.

“Esteemed Councilors, Master Dennis, may we begin?” the halfling girl had long been ready, climbing into the cockpit and strapping on her protective gear, and now she eagerly asked if they could start.

Lynn looked towards Dennis and, seeing his nod, signaled Lydia to commence!

The wizards present all turned their attention to the event, and even Dennis couldn’t help feeling a twinge of nervousness. Despite his confidence in his creation, this was the first time for a manned flight.

“Buzz~” With a deafening roar, Lydia pressed the ignition switch, and instantly, a long tail of flame shot out from two massive exhausts at the rear of the fighter jet.

The powerful thrust pinned the halfling girl hard against the back cushion, but Lydia, who had been involved in the creation of the jet, was prepared and kept her cool. She held the steering wheel tightly, maintaining balance.

Under everyone’s gaze, the silver fighter jet quickly passed over the runway and took to the skies within a mere two seconds.

“What incredible speed!” Exclaimed Tim, the arch-wizard standing by.

“This is just the beginning!” Dennis shook his head. The new fighter jet had both subsonic and supersonic modes, and during takeoff, its speed was merely ordinary!

Meanwhile, thousands of meters above, Lydia, after a stable flight to fully adapt to the controls of the fighter jet, solemnly activated the supersonic mode.

The internal propulsion system of the fighter jet rapidly engaged, a large amount of compressed hydrogen-oxygen mix was injected into the combustion chamber, instantly ignited, and high-temperature, high-pressure gas burst forth through the conduits. Accelerated through the Rava nozzle, the velocity increased by several notches.

The already half-meter-long tail flame expanded instantly to over two meters, and the fierce sound of a sonic boom echoed through the high skies, presenting a spectacular sight before Harrov and the others.

The silver fighter jet streaked across the sky at an unimaginable speed, breaking through the sound barrier and forming a conical layer of airflow behind the aircraft, coupled with the long tail flame, like a silvery-white comet cutting through the heavens.

“Is this a sonic boom cloud?” Tim stared astonished at the spectacle, and though they had observed the phenomenon during wind tunnel tests, seeing it in person was still shocking.

Based on distance and position calculations, the flying speed of the fighter jet had reached three times the speed of sound, evident from the three prominent sound speed rings on its tail flame.

“Excellent, it looks like everything is going smoothly!” Dennis nodded in utter satisfaction. His biggest concern had been that activating the supersonic mode would cause the fighter jet to become unbalanced and crash, due to the tremendous increase in speed and the frightful wind resistance.

Luckily, Lydia’s exceptional piloting skills prevented his worst fears from materializing.

Next up was combat testing!

“Who among you will come?” Lynn turned his head to look at Harrov, Aurora, Vittorio, and Anthony.

This supersonic fighter jet was to be deployed in foreign territories for missions. Real combat exercises were crucial, especially the ability to counter legendary-level enemies, which was key.

The councilors were all quite interested in this new type of fighter jet, and Harrov, with genuine enthusiasm, was the first to offer.

“I’ll do it!”

No sooner had his words fallen than Harrov transformed into a streak of light and soared towards the sky.

Lynn nodded and simultaneously sent a message to Lydia through the magic network.

“Are we going to fight?” Inside the cockpit of the fighter jet, the halfling girl was not scared in the slightest; on the contrary, she was somewhat excited. She never thought she’d get to match skills with the Legendary Councilmen.

But excitement aside, Lydia, with her abundant experience in flight and aerial combat, did not dare to be careless and heightened her attention to one hundred and twenty percent.

Under the electromagnetic radar and magic power detection, Harrov’s trajectory was incredibly clear, like a bright blue star, constantly closing in on Lydia.

The distance between them closed rapidly, and after crossing the safety distance of one and a half kilometers, Lydia made the first move.

From the cylindrical bombs mounted on either side of the fighter jet, flames identical to those of the jet surged forth; then they broke free of their constraints and sped towards the approaching Harrov at an unimaginable velocity.
