I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Chapter 375: The New Ace in Aerial Combat—Fighter Jet

"Lynn, have an apple..." "Does it feel comfortable?" "Your Excellency, it's time for your medicine!"

In the royal capital of Hadralata, within a luxurious villa, Lynn lay on a comfortable chair, receiving meticulous care from the academy's wizards.

During the last defense of the capital, Lynn forcibly channeled all the magical power of the network to cast the Everlasting Flame and laser magic, causing a severe backlash that nearly resulted in brain death.

Despite being saved by consuming two legendary magical potions, he couldn't freely wield magic for a short period.

This alarmed people like Elok and others because Lynn, the star magician, was the pillar of the entire faction, intolerant of any mistake! Even after Lynn reassured everyone of his well-being and the need for rest, the wizards continued their concern, providing him with various precious magical remedies and a strict regimen supervised by a master herbalist—basically, good food, rest, and no heavy duties!

Additionally, over a hundred wizards equipped with guns were assigned to guard the estate, fearing any sneak attacks on this 'powerless' magical star.

Johnny, Lydia, Elok, and others familiar with Lynn were tasked with caring for his daily life and serving as close guards. According to Orlando, this was the top priority for the faction at the moment!

Orlando and others' overly anxious arrangements left Lynn feeling helpless. He was just temporarily unable to freely use magic, not incapacitated. Even at his weakest, he could knock out a dozen brainwashed guards with his fists...

However, he had to admit, this life of being waited on hand and foot was quite comfortable. Even though he wasn't incapacitated, he felt like he was on the verge of becoming one.

"Your Excellency, this is a purple fruit sent by King Hatar. I've tasted it for you; it's safe and tastes great!"

Beside him, Lydia handed Lynn a peeled purple fruit, then attentively massaged his thigh, surprisingly strong, causing Lynn considerable discomfort.

"Okay, okay, please stop!" Lynn helplessly pushed away the half-dwarf girl's hand. If she kept at it, he'd lose his leg!

Lydia recoiled, resembling a guilty little creature, looking pitiful.

"Tell me, what brings you here?" Lynn shook his head, inquiring.

Despite being tasked with his care, Lydia had been slacking off these days, secretly tinkering with odd things. Her sudden attentiveness today definitely hinted at something amiss.

"I've drawn a blueprint; could you take a look, please?" Lydia hurriedly retrieved a design from her pocket and unfolded it before Lynn.

The drawing depicted a robust, rudimentary aircraft, resembling the one he'd seen when he first arrived at Iyeta Harbor. However, it showed numerous adjustments in detail.

Lydia anxiously gazed at Lynn. Although the appearance of airships fulfilled her dream of flying, this was still the Chancellor's creation. Over the past year, Lydia hadn't abandoned her idea of crafting her own aircraft. Moreover, she recalled Lynn mentioning that her design concept wasn't flawed; the primary reason her aircraft struggled to ascend was insufficient power!

The advent of internal combustion engines seemed to address this issue, making the aircraft's refinement feasible.

In her imagination, while this aircraft couldn't transport armies and weaponry like airships, its advantage lay in speed and agility. Equipping it with a machine gun or beam weapon in the front could engage Gryphon Knights in aerial combat...

Lynn carefully examined it, had his AI analyze it, then smiled as he spoke, "Impressive progress!"

"Can it fly?" Lydia eagerly asked.

"It can take off this time..." Lynn pondered briefly, not allowing Lydia to get too excited before continuing.

"However, achieving the full potential you envision—reaching a speed of two hundred kilometers per hour—is impossible. The aircraft's design lacks in aerodynamics, its materials aren't suitable, and at high speeds, it will surely fall apart!"

"Didn't I give you an introductory book on aerodynamics? How much have you read?" Lynn countered.

At the mention of "aerodynamics," Lydia's expression twisted. That subject was incomprehensible, far beyond her grasp!

Before reading this book, Lydia believed she had extraordinary talent in mathematics, mastering equations, exponents, geometry swiftly, and even understanding a portion of calculus. However, "aerodynamics" left her completely baffled, far more complex than she imagined, especially considering it was just the basics.

Seeing Lydia's perplexed expression, Lynn guessed she hadn't grasped it.

Of course, it was understandable. "Aerodynamics" was a branch of "fluid mechanics," involving an extensive amount of knowledge and calculations. Even in modern times, some complex issues in "fluid mechanics" remained unsolved until the 22nd century, when quantum computers made significant progress in accurate predictions and computations.

The notes Lynn gave Lydia were ancient, based on classical mechanics, and unexpectedly, the difficulty level was too high!

"Think of air as the ocean, and your aircraft as fish. Their shape is for better resistance against water. This concept applies to birds as well; I call it streamlined design..." Lynn used his hand as a pen and magic as ink, making slight adjustments to the blueprint while explaining to Lydia.

Lydia watched Lynn intently as he corrected details on the blueprint. In just five minutes, all the adjustments were made.

The framework remained the same but appeared much more appealing, exuding an indescribable beauty...

Unaware of Lydia's thoughts, Lynn would have told her that aesthetics itself embodied power!

Formidable war machines usually boasted an impressive appearance because it was the most natural design...

How's that for a restructured and clarified piece?
