Master of Thermodynamics - Chapter 579
Chapter 576 Delta wing fall
The dispatcher wearing a striking yellow vest led an empty knight team composed of 6 large paper airplanes slowly to the take-off point of the runway.
“No. 012-01, ready!”
The dispatcher yelled and raised the light stick in his right hand.
The pilot flying the “012-01” magic delta wing immediately adjusted the elevator to the take-off position, and pressed his left hand against the rune plate that controls the jet engine.
“take off!”
The dispatcher swung the light stick forward.
“Huh ”
The sharp jet of air jets across the runway instantly, and the “012-01” delta wing seemed to be kicked severely, sliding rapidly along the runway, getting faster and faster.
When the lift of the airflow exceeds the weight of the delta wing, the Nima rubber tires leave the runway and the delta wing rises into the gray sky.
One kilometer away from the air knight base, the crowd of onlookers immediately sounded cheers like a tsunami.
The dispatcher yelled again:
“No. 012-02, ready!”
“take off!”
The second delta wing quickly rose into the sky, chasing the first delta wing.
A minute later, the air knight team all lifted off. After circling a circle over the airport, they flew north.
On the runway, another dispatcher led another Air Knight team to the take-off point.
………………
Navid squeezed into the noisy crowd, stretched out his hand to rub his stiff neck, and asked in surprise:
“How come there are so many empty knights appearing today? At least 50 empty knights have taken off this time…”
Baron Pius touched his clean shaved chin and replied:
“If I’m right, this shouldn’t be a regular flight training. It seems that the Air Knight Legion is going to use the’sacred fire’ to attack the black orcs…”
A smile appeared on the baron’s chubby face:
“Hey, the number of empty knights dispatched this time is several times more than the previous one. With such a large scale of attack, it seems that it will be cool for several days… It’s really worthy of being under the flames of the World Extinguishing God…”
The word “cool” reminded Navid:
“There are too many cloudy days during this period, and the wheat is about to be harvested. I heard that the wheat in the nearby areas is not growing well, and I am afraid that there will be a large-scale reduction in production.”
Baron Pius smiled “hehe”:
“If the output is reduced, the output will be reduced. Anyway, no one in the master’s farm dare to pay a grain less. Even if the output is reduced, the ones who are starving are mud legs… Well, there are so many untouchables, it doesn’t matter if a group of people starve to death…”
As a big businessman, Navid quickly thought of the business opportunities in it:
“Next year’s food prices will definitely go up. If you can hoard a large amount of food, and then find a way to increase the price of food, you will definitely make a lot of money.
He squinted his eyes, and said with some regret:
“It’s a pity that the Foster Chamber of Commerce does not include food, so it is not convenient to intervene in this business.”
Baron Pius’ eyes lit up,:
“Mr. Lord, your business talent is really commendable… Well, maybe I should hoard a little food in advance…”
The conversation between the two did not show a trace of sympathy for civilians from beginning to end.
In the eyes of the nobles, the untouchables at the bottom are “two-legged sheep”, and they are shepherds who graze the “flock”. They will do everything possible to eat the last piece of lamb’s flesh and squeeze the last drop of lamb’s bone marrow.
As for the life and death of two-legged sheep, who cares?
………………
Reynolds lay lazily on a recliner, watching the huge fleet drift away while listening to Goode’s report.
“…Ms. Allietty borrowed 150,000 Kinnars from Haichao Bank with shares as collateral. The loan term is 5 years. According to your wishes, I asked Haichao Bank to give the lowest annual interest rate of 5%.”
“There is a special clause in the mortgage loan agreement. The loan must be earmarked and used exclusively for purchasing goods from the Haichao Chamber of Commerce…”
Hearing this, Renault praised:
“Not bad!”
This special clause is naturally the “creation” of Renault.
On the earth, there is something called “government aid loan”, which has a low interest rate, generally between 3% and 5%, and a long repayment period.
This kind of loan looks extremely favorable and it is almost like doing charity. In fact, it is not. The country that provides the loan actually makes a lot of money. The real interest rate is far more than 3-5%.
The secret here lies in the “loan use”.
Because loans often have additional agreements, the “country receiving the loan” must import goods from the “country providing the loan”. This is the first time to squeeze the wool, and the loan interest rate is the second time to squeeze the wool. I’m bald.
The mortgage payment provided by Haichao Bank is a replica of the government aid loan.
Compared with otherworldly interest rates of 20%, 30% or even higher, 5% conscience is extremely extreme. When Arrietty saw this number, she was grateful to Renault, and never thought that there was a big pit hidden in it.
More importantly, since the signing of this agreement, Arrietty fell into Renault’s hands, destined to be swallowed a little bit by him.
Who can play with commercial means before Haichao Chamber of Commerce?
This is actually the same as “raising the other’s IQ to the same level as one’s, and then using a wealth of experience to defeat him”.
…
“According to the information collected by the Chamber of Commerce, we found that the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, the Carver Chamber of Commerce, and the Miguel Chamber of Commerce and other grain chambers are secretly purchasing grain. We judge that within the next two months, the price of grain may rise by 20%. .”
“Within half a year, food prices are likely to rise by more than 50%, and by the harvest month of next year, they may rise by as much as 100%…”
Renault suddenly interrupted Goode:
“Is there any reason for the increase in food prices?”
Goode silently pointed to the gloomy sky.
Renault smiled awkwardly and waved to Goode to continue.
Before deciding to bomb the north shore of the Nassau Wetlands, he hadn’t expected such consequences.
“In this regard, we believe that if the price of food rises too sharply, the civilians’ expenditure on food will definitely increase greatly, and consumption in other areas will decrease accordingly.”
“Many of the products sold by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce are daily necessities, which will result in a significant decrease in sales. We expect the decrease in daily necessities sales to be about 25%-30%…”
After a pause, Goode asked:
“My lord, do you need the Haichao Chamber of Commerce to intervene in food prices?”
Renault meditated for a moment, then shook his head:
“Why intervene?”
“On the contrary, we should let food prices rise even higher.”
“The higher the food price, the more turbulent the economy of the Qianhu Kingdom, the more bankrupt civilians and the civilians who cannot survive, and the more civilians who are willing to emigrate.”
“Well, by the way, it can also attack the prestige of the royal family. The royal family that can’t even control the price of food is simply a waste… Once the price of food rises to a certain level, people will spread rumors and target the royal family…”
Having said that, Renault sat up straight and issued a series of commands:
“From today, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce will go all out to purchase grain!”
“In addition, we have begun to formulate a plan to attract immigrants. If necessary, we can spend money to’buy’ immigrants. There is no upper limit on the budget.
“Notify the Territory Government Affairs Office to prepare for the upcoming wave of immigration!”
Goode nodded respectfully.
“Yes!”
………………
Two days after the bombing restarted, the smoke cloud that had been dissipating became thicker again.
Counting the duration of the first round of bombing, the Nassau Wetlands have not seen a sunny day for almost 10 days, and the air is foggy, always filled with choking ashes.
To describe it in a professional term, it is: PM2.5 has exploded.
Fortunately, people from outside worlds are generally more powerful, and the environment with high concentrations of PM2.5 has lasted for so long, and not many people have been sick.
This also directly led to the early autumn in most areas of the northern border of the kingdom, and the temperature in the morning and evening has dropped to more than 10 degrees.
In addition, during the bombing process, the Air Knight Legion also discovered an interesting phenomenon-the Black Orcs harvested wheat in advance.
Even if the wheat is not fully mature, the grains on the wheat ears are not full, which has a significant impact on the yield. The black-skinned farmers still reluctantly harvested the wheat. After all, the early harvesting can still harvest part of the grain, which was burned and even a piece of hair was burned. No.
Within 600 kilometers from the center of Chaka Town, the wheat fields seen by the empty knights were all empty. No wheat could be seen, and even in the villages near the wheat fields, no one could be seen.
At first, the Air Knight Legion thought that all the black skins were hiding. For this reason, they bombed several villages. It turned out that there was really no one, and the black skins abandoned the village and ran away.
This fully shows how amazing the deterrent power of the Air Knight Legion is.
As a last resort, the air knights had no choice but to smash the incendiary bombs all over the town of the black orcs.
The carpet bombing of this large fleet has an extremely exaggerated visual effect.
When nearly a hundred magical delta wings flew over from high altitude, the incendiary bombs fell like raindrops “hullah”, and at least a thousand incendiary bombs were dropped in each round of bombing.
Immediately after thousands of huge fireballs rose up, from a high altitude, the town seemed to have turned into a mushroom garden, and more than a thousand giant anchors popped up all at once. This kind of extremely cool lens makes people’s blood divergent. The scalp is numb.
After two rounds of bombing, the smaller towns turned directly into a sea of flames, and the black skins that had no time to escape the towns naturally turned into barbecues.
However, it seems that most of the black skins in the town have also been evacuated.
When the fleet flew over the town, it was obvious that the density of small black spots on the street was greatly reduced.
There is another thing that makes people feel quite strange. The fleet has not been intercepted in any way, neither the black orc’s magic eyes nor the wind-type transcendents have appeared, and the air knight army is like no one on the north bank of the wetland.
Regarding this, Renault speculated that the Black Orcs were most likely brewing a large-scale counterattack.
There is a saying called “retracting the fist to fight out more powerfully.” Does the withdrawal of the magic eye and the extraordinary wind system mean the action of “retracting the fist”?
………………
Bishop drove the magic delta wing slowly across the air. Under the delta wing, the Nassau River was like a meandering jade belt across the vast land.
In order to save fuel and maximize the dead time as much as possible, he deliberately kept the power of the jet engine to a minimum. At this time, the flying speed of the delta wing did not exceed 60 meters per second.
Bishop is on a two-plane patrol mission with another companion.
Although the Air Knight Legion occupied absolute air superiority, it was almost impossible to contend with the black orcs’ poor air power, but out of consistent caution, Renault ordered air patrols to prevent the black orcs from attacking the base.
According to the established patrol system, no matter whether it is day or night, there must be 2 delta wings over the base to be in charge of guarding, with a shift every 4 hours.
In the absence of radar, Renault can only use this stupid method.
Bishop tightened the collar of his leather jacket to prevent the cold wind from entering it. He had no interest in the magnificent scenery below, and would only observe the ground every once in a while in accordance with the requirements of the patrol regulations.
Although the high-altitude scenery is extremely beautiful, after watching it for so long, he is already tired of seeing it. At this moment, he only hopes that the mission will end as soon as possible, based on the **** cold wind.
After flying a few kilometers with a delta wing, Bishop suddenly discovered that Mubarak, who was driving a wingman, seemed to have not appeared in his sight for a while.
“This guy won’t sneak away, right…”
Bishop murmured to himself and looked back.
There was no one behind.
Did Mubarak really stop patrolling privately? He was too courageous, right now, during the war, the nature of defying military orders is extremely bad, and there is a high probability that he will be shot directly.
Bishop’s heart tightened, he got up from his seat and looked around.
There was no space around, and there was no bird in sight.
Bishop’s expression became serious, he knew he was in big trouble.
Because the military law of the island guard clearly stipulates that once someone disobeys the military order, other people must stop it immediately, and even kill the other person if necessary. If they fail to fulfill their obligation to stop, everyone present will be punished.
As Mubarak’s partner, if Bishop did not find out that the other party had left in time, then he would definitely not be pleased, and he would be imprisoned, or retired directly.
“call……”
At this time, Bishop vaguely heard the sound of air jets coming from above.
A move in his heart, could it be that Mubarak hid in a higher position and deliberately frightened himself?
Bishop activated the rune array on the flying rudder, and the ailerons on the left and right sides deflected in different directions. The delta wing tilted 90 degrees in the blink of an eye, and the gray sky appeared in front of him.
One kilometer away from the back and above, a triangular black shadow was diving rapidly.
This is Mubarak’s delta wing!
Hey, this guy really didn’t feel good about it, he wanted to tease himself in this way…
Bishop breathed a sigh of relief and made a “cut throat” gesture to the opponent to express his anger.
When the distance was close to 600 meters, the delta wing was still diving, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Bishop couldn’t help frowning and waved his right hand to Mubarak to signal the opponent to slow down.
However, the delta wing remained indifferent.
At 300 meters, the delta wing adjusted the nose slightly and pointed towards Bishop impressively.
wrong!
Bishop’s face changed drastically, and he squeezed the flying rudder with both hands, trying to get rid of the opponent’s lock.
However, it was too late.
“His…His…”
The neigh of the double-headed snake rang loudly, and a dense rain of bullets erupted.
Accompanied by the “pop”, Bishop felt like the vest was hit hard, hitting the flying rudder, and then there was an unbearable pain in his chest and abdomen.
He touched his chest hard, his tentacles were smooth and warm.
This is… blood.
Damn, Mubarak betrayed the Lord Lord!
Bishop coughed and tried to control the delta wing to fight back.
Anyone who dares to betray the Lord Lord must die!
But Bishop’s hands became weaker, and the intense dizziness surrounded him. In his eyes, the world gradually became blurred.
“His…His…”
Another rain of bullets struck, several of which happened to hit the jet engine.
“Huh…huh…”
The engine sprayed out the last blast of air and stopped, and the entire delta wing fell straight down like a big bird with folded wings, sprinkling a lot of blood all the way.
