57 The wolf flame lifts off

Due to busy military affairs, Nuoyin returned to the air base the next day, while Qilin and others continued to make final repairs and adjustments to the wolf flame.

On the third day after Noe Yin left, after experiencing the riots in the Air Cypress Cemetery, the adventures of Titan ruins, and the hardships of the Black Market Taobao, the originally broken Air Cypress Wolf Flame finally reborn in a new posture. When he saw the black iron giant body proudly stretching his wings in the sun, Gren Shaodong and Lavelis Xianwang couldn't help but look up at the sky and shed tears of touching towards the gorgeous sun.

"It's finally done..." Xiu De threw away the wrench in his hand, leaned back on the grass, spreading his body into a "big" character.

"Yes, it's really not easy..." Yili also breathed a long breath, but instead of learning from someone's tasteless appearance, he walked under the cockpit of Wolf Flame and looked up to ask the test driver's feelings.

"Qilin, how do you feel? Is there any problem?"

"No problem! I just tried it, this guy is in a very good condition!" Qilin poked his head out of the cockpit, with excitement on his face. "Next, I'm going to activate the floating mechanism, put the air flow stone in?"

"I've put it in. That's a first-class product from the black market. The energy inside is enough for you to fly for a long time." Yili replied, but at the same time was a little worried. "After that, are you sure you really won't wait for Bai Xiang to grow back? Although it's just a basic test, it's always better for someone to guide you next to you, right?"

"No need. Anyway, it's just a test of the floating mechanism. I've already remembered a few simple steps in my mind, no problem." Qilin assured confidently and urged Yili to retreat.

"Okay, I'm going to test flight, stand far away."

After Yili retreated, the Qilin sat back to Wolf Flame's cockpit and pulled the sliding cover to lock it. With a crisp "click", the entire cockpit was in a closed state. Perhaps it should be noted that not all air cavalry use closed cockpits. In fact, air cavalry used for low-altitude combat uses open cockpits. Only those high-performance air cavalry that can fight at high altitude or high altitude will be designed to design closed cockpits based on the needs of protecting the pilot, and Wolf Flame naturally belongs to the latter.

Basically, the cockpit of the Kongqi can only accommodate one person. The internal facilities include the pilot's seat, the instrument panel in front of the seat, the left and right handles, the pedals on both feet and other auxiliary functional equipment. The Langyan's instrument panel is the same as Cuiye's, and there are only three indicator instruments, from left to right, namely the altimeter, the level and the speedometer.

Speaking of this, most people may find it strange and think that the instrument of the air rider is too simple. But in fact, for skilled pilots who master the ability of "empty consciousness", they can expand their perception through the air rider's body, and then fully grasp the condition of the body and the surrounding air condition, so extra instruments are not needed at all.

In addition to three indicators, Wolf Flame's instrument panel also has a sight located in front of the glass cockpit and a brake valve at the bottom right of the instrument panel. It is worth mentioning that Wolf Flame's sight is also a treasure that Kirin and others snatched from the Kongqi cemetery. The official name is "Optical Reflection Mirror Sighting". It is said that it has the function of automatically correcting slight distance differences, but since Wolf Flame's sight has not been adjusted yet, it is currently just a decoration.

The brake valve is the controller of the floating mechanism. Since the floating mechanism is the energy source of other components of the body, the brake valve is equivalent to the main control mechanism of the air riding.

Based on the importance of the brake valve, the corresponding lock is usually attached, and the key is kept in the hands of the pilot, but there is no such lock on the brake valve of the wolf flame. The curious Qilin once asked the Duke about this. According to the Duke, the air cavalry is made of biological materials, and the pilot shares the feeling of the air cavalry through the air cavalry. Therefore, in a sense, the air cavalry is actually equivalent to another body of the body. The better the pilot, the higher the synchronization degree with his own body.

In the process of synchronizing with the pilot, the air cavalry will gradually become the characteristics of the pilot. If it reaches the level of the ace pilot, the body it drives will often have an extremely strong personal color and refuse other operators. In other words, the body of the ace pilot is a personal body, and others cannot start it at all, so there is no need for small means like locks. In this sense, as the landline of Nuoyin in the past, Wolf Flame has not been able to dilute the memory of his ex-owner because of the massive blood exchange of the whole body, Kirin would not be able to start it.

"...Okay, Wolf Flame, wake up."

Qilin held his breath and reached out to pull down the brake valve.

After a few seconds of slow growth as if it was forever, the originally stationary body suddenly shook slightly, and Qilin's heart also jumped violently.

Immediately afterwards, when Kirin was not prepared at all, the slight tremor amplified into a violent vibration in an instant.

The deafening roar trembled the cabin. This air rider, which had been silent in the dark hangar for many years, exuded the passion of life in an extremely fanatical way.

The joy of rebirth from the fire, the desire to spread its wings and the expectation of the distant sky, and the passionate emotions poured into Qilin's heart, pushing the already high-pitched heart to the boundary of madness in one fell swoop.

Blood as hot as magma flows freely in the blood vessels...

The hairs behind them were so excited that they stood up...

I don't know what sounds in my ears...

There seemed to be a fire burning in my head...

Qilin had long forgotten to test the floating mechanism, and did not see the shocked two people outside the cockpit chasing each other desperately. Only the transparent blue sky was left in his eyes.

When he came to his senses, the wolf flames had already flown at a height of hundreds of meters...

………………………………………

"Well……"

While the fanaticism in his heart gradually faded, the cold sweat on Qilin's forehead also dripped.

Now he is at an altitude of hundreds of meters above the ground, with all blue colors on both sides and the front and back, and there is no empty place to carry.

"I...how did I get up..." After confirming the fact that he was in the void, a second drop of cold sweat broke out on Qilin's forehead.

Originally, they just wanted to do a start-up test of the floating mechanism, and in order to prevent the rise from being too high, the three of them deliberately used a piece of rope to tie the wolf flame to the floor piles on the apron, but according to the current situation, they obviously underestimated the power of the fierce horse.

Qilin looked back and saw the roaring engine driving the propeller. The high-speed rotating blades cut the atmosphere. The propulsion generated made the wolf flame cross the sky above the capital at an astonishing speed. As for when he started the engine, Qilin tried to recall, but had no impression at all.

Qilin recalled that he borrowed the training materials of Air Force pilots from Nuoyin. The textbook mentioned above that the takeoff and landing of the air rider are the most tests of the pilot's skills. From interpreting the condition of the floating mechanism, to confirming the expansion of the air control circle of the body, then maintaining balance and spreading the folded wings on both sides, then starting the engine, controlling the wings, slowly increasing the height at a tiny angular velocity, etc., these steps are added together. According to the textbook, it takes at least two months for a pilot to master it.

"Are you two months..." Qilin looked at his wings gliding smoothly on the wolf flames, and a third drop of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

When the theory and practice do not match, one of them must have had a problem. Qilin didn't think there was anything wrong with him, but it was difficult to question the effectiveness of the textbook recommended by Nuo Yin. When both possibilities were denied, the third possibility naturally emerged in his mind.

"The one in question is...Wolf Flame?"

Qilin felt that his thoughts were not unreasonable.

As the landline of the kingdom army's strongest pilot, "Huanglei Dome Light", accompanied Nuo Yin into the mysterious sky world and survived. Such an experience is often an epic heroic legend on humans. Even if Wolf Flame evolved some unique functions, it is not surprising that he planned to go down and ask Nuo Yin clearly. However, the current problem is, as a genuine rookie who is not even a pilot apprentice, how can he land safely on the ground with Wolf Flame.

Using swimming as a metaphor, the situation in front of you is as miserable as being thrown into the vast ocean just after learning to breathe.

Qilin tried hard to calm himself down, and at the same time recalled the knowledge about manipulating air riders that he had read in the textbook.

Basically, the control system of the air riding is composed of handles located on the left and right cockpits and pedals at both feet. The left and right handles are connected to the wings on the left and right respectively. The trigger that controls the cannon is also on it. As for the pedals on both feet, they are throttle valves that control the engine's output and reducers that urgently brake. The functions of the four operating parts are clear and clear. Even a three-year-old child can remember after listening to it. In a sense, controlling the air riding is actually a simple thing.

However, the simplest things are often the most complex. Take the left and right handles for example. The wings on the left and right handles are linked together. Since the buoyancy generated by the floating mechanism offsets the weight of the body, the wings become the key to the air riding control of the flying posture.

Pull the handle inward and the wings will retract. Retracting the wings will reduce the flight resistance and increase the speed, but at the same time it will also reduce the flight stability.

Push the handle outward and the wings will spread. Spreading the wings can reduce the speed of the body and make the steering more flexible. In fierce air battles, you can often quickly get rid of the opponent's pursuit and occupy a more favorable position.

Push the handle forward and the wings will rise upwards. The oncoming wind blows on the slope of the wings, creating an upward force, and you can ride the wind upwards.

Pull the handle backward and the wings will tilt downward. The oncoming wind blows on the upper slope of the wings, creating a downward force, and the air riding will ride the wind downward.

Pull the hand backward while pulling it inward. The air rider will close its wings and dive rapidly. This move is often used for sneak attacks. You can dive from a high altitude before your opponent can detect it and escape with one blow.

While pushing the hand forward, the air rider will spread his wings to slow down and swivel. This trick is often used to get rid of the rear-end opponent and make it unable to stop and rush to the front.

...The above is just the most basic application, and the left and right wings of the air rider can still be controlled separately. The left wing is closed and the right wing is spread, the right wing is raised and the left wing is lowered. Combinations like this can generate countless possibilities. In the hands of senior pilots, the maneuver power displayed by an air rider is beyond the reach of even the most agile birds. However, for the current Kirin, it is still too far away. Now he has racked his brains just to let the wolf flame land safely.

"The left foot is the throttle valve, the right foot is the reducer, and the landing gear is the lowering device... OK, it's confirmed."

Qilin passed the common sense about air riding manipulation in his mind, and then decided to make the first attempt to manipulate in a conscious state.

At this time, the engine behind the wolf flame was still maintaining a high force state. The powerful thrust generated by the two interlaced propellers drove the body to speed over the capital at an astonishing high speed. If you continue, the wolf flame would fly out of the capital in a few minutes, creating a heroic legend that the lost rookie fell into another place. In order to avoid such an unfamous result, Qilin desperately searched for the reason for the abnormal state of the engine, and then was shocked to find that his left foot had been stepping on the engine's throttle since no matter when.

"Uh..." Kirin's forehead broke out in cold sweat again, then took a deep breath and slowly retracted his left foot that was stepping on the throttle valve.

As the force on the throttle was relaxed, the engine's output immediately dropped, and the deafening boom turned into a low and weak trembling sound, and the wolf flames glided smoothly in the air according to inertia.

"Okay! Success!" Taking the first step of success, Qilin suddenly felt very confident and planned to make the second step to make the wolf flame turn around and fly back.

According to the records in the textbook, the easiest way to turn the air rider is to pull the handle inward in the opposite direction from the steering, and use the natural resistance difference between the two wings to achieve the purpose of turning. Qilin quietly estimated the direction of the Duke's Mansion in his mind, and then carefully pulled the left handle inward. Although he could not use "empty consciousness" to directly read the surrounding empty situation like Nuoyin, through the handle that was linked to the wings, he still vaguely felt the slight tremor of the wind blowing on his wings and the obvious bias caused by the body.

"Oh oh! It turns out to be very simple!"

Qilin cheered, but he seemed to be a little too happy. Using the resistance difference between the two wings can indeed achieve the steering effect, but the uneven force on both wings will shake the balance of the body. Therefore, experienced pilots will slightly lower the left wing when turning right to correct this problem. However, for the current Qilin, the most lacking is practical operation experience, and the result is that the wolf flame suddenly loses balance during the steering.

"Um...ahhh?"

Qilin's current level is far from enough to make him correct correspondence with the imbalance. In panic, the imbalance further evolved into out-of-control, and the wolf flames circling and falling down quickly.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The high-speed rotation centrifugal force teared the body, and the reversing world made the sense of space frenzy. The feeling of helplessness came in mixed with fear and despair. Qilin almost thought that he was going to be so heroic, but this situation did not last long. I don’t know if it was five minutes or ten minutes, the originally chaotic centrifugal force gradually disappeared. Qilin, who came to his senses, looked around and found that the out-of-control wolf flame had returned to a steady state of gliding by the wind.

“For… why?”

His heart was still pounding, and the feeling of being breathless was still obvious, but Qilin no longer cared about this. He looked at the air rider carrying his own flight, his face full of shock. This time he could confirm 100% that the wolf flame would restore balance was definitely not his own relationship.

"Wolf Flame...was it moving by itself?"

In order to confirm this fact, Qilin made several more turning attempts, and without exception, the result of losing control of the step.

If he were an ordinary pilot, he would have died long ago, but what is incomprehensible is that whenever he fell into an out of control, as long as he relaxed his control of the body, Wolf Flame would return to a stable flight state by itself. No matter how many times he caused the body to lose control, Wolf Flame would help him recover as usual, just like a gentle elder sister, protecting her first-time toddler brother with infinite patience.

"So that's why Nuoyin gave me the wolf flame..." Qilin suddenly understood Nuoyin's painstaking efforts.

Having the wolf flame that can help him adjust his state infinitely is equivalent to declaring that he can make the craziest attempts with confidence and boldness without worrying about the possibility of crashing. Compared to those pilot apprentices who have to be trembling with just rising into the air and are afraid of this and that at any time, such learning conditions are simply paradise, and it is the paradise that Nouyin has created for him.

"Nuoyin, what a good woman..."

Thinking of Nuoyin's good intentions, Qilin was so moved that he burst into tears. He couldn't wait to return to the Duke's Mansion and convey the good news of the resurrection of the wolf flame to Nuoyin. However, he found that he was facing a more serious problem than before - he could not find the direction!

Thanks to the previous several out-of-control experiences, Qilin mastered the method of making a simple turn without losing control, but at the cost, when he noticed, he was already far away from the royal capital.

Qilin looked around through the cockpit and saw a vast white area around it. The body was surrounded by gray mist. He looked up and could not see the sky or the earth. He looked down and looked down. It was like he was in a maze of chaos. Qilin frowned and recalled how he flew to this place, but perhaps because he was too focused on controlling the body at that time, he had no impression in his heart.

"It seems that I have seen these clouds somewhere..."

Qilin looked at the gray mist wrapped around the body, a familiar feeling, and woke up in his mind with an inexplicable sense of crisis. He glanced at the altimeter quickly and saw the pointer above shaking and pointing at 2,900 meters.

"When did it fly so high?" Qilin couldn't help but be shocked.
