"This time, the enemy is finally not as stupid as Charles II."
Kardashian mumbled as she read the letter. Beside her, Sylvia pointed upward and said, "It's here!"
As she said that, a black shadow appeared in the sky. It was flying faster than any plane, but it didn't break the sound barrier, and the whistling sound could be heard from afar.
The black-painted "Mark 15" flew hundreds of meters in front of Kardashian, then suddenly changed its previous horizontal flight state and dived down. In less than a second, it plunged straight into the ground, making a muffled "bang" sound.
Merinthra and Sylvia were the only living people in the nearby mountains. This area was also the missile test site of the Strategic Arms Research Department.
As an organization independent of the Research Department, the top leaders of this department were the five "Honorary Elders" who used to be Dragons. Some time ago, they helped solve the problem of the carrier's bearings, and also made a breakthrough in the "material". Therefore, after rapid improvement and experimentation, the current Mark XV was created.
Kardashian stepped on the snow and walked to the spot where the missile hit. There was a ten-meter wide area on the ground as a target, and in the center of the target was an "identification circle" driven by Magic Crystal.
Now, they were trying to use this circle to attract the missile's attack, and it seemed to be working well.
The missile that was more than two meters long plunged into the edge of the area, and created a pit that was more than half a meter deep. The warhead didn't have a warhead, so the missile didn't explode.
"Record the error data and retrieve the warhead."
Kardashian calmly retrieved the missile with a spell, and Sylvia examined it again and again. She couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "It's finally a success!"
When Sylvia recalled that the missile was fired from 30 kilometers away, she felt that this weapon was beyond anyone's imagination. Accurately hitting a target with a radius of only 10 meters could only be described as' unbelievable 'for such a range …
But then, she realized that Kardashian didn't look very surprised, so she quickly shut her mouth and began to record the measurement data.
After they were done, Sylvia realized that Kardashian had been staring at the sky. She could not help but ask, "Could there be a second test missile?"
"No, I'm just thinking about something that Roddy mentioned. It's just that it's a little difficult to do now."
Kardashian watched for a while before withdrawing her gaze in disappointment.
The "communication circle" they were using now was not the technology of Earth like radio. Instead, it was using elemental particles as a medium for transmission. If they were to research from scratch using the methods of Earth, the mages would be completely clueless. They would probably have to wait for a long time before they could realize it.
The Black Dragon Herrlöw had calculated the gravitational constant G of this planet and obtained the same answer as the one on Earth. Of course, this answer could only be "approximate", but Kardashian believed that based on this, the altitude of the satellites here could also be used as a reference to Earth.
On Earth, the altitude of 100 to 400 kilometers was considered the region of low-Earth orbit, while 160 kilometers was the lowest altitude that could orbit the Earth.
Propeller planes could only fly at an altitude of a few thousand meters. If they wanted to plunge into deep space, the energy density of the crystals should not be a problem. But the biggest problem now was … to form a positioning system like GPS, they first had to solve the problem of ultra-long distance information transmission.
"I'm afraid we'll need the help of the elders."
After recording the data, Kardashian used a spell to retrieve the wreckage of the missile, then cleaned up the traces at the scene. She turned around and led Sylvia to a crystal car that was parked not far away. After fixing the missile with a spell, they drove along the snow-covered path back to the research institute 30 kilometers away.

At the same time, the councilors in Duriel finally passed a motion to allow an emergency discussion on the "war" information, instead of having the priority to "cut the queue" like before.
Countless regimes had evolved little by little from this seemingly "absurd" rule. Of course, some had disappeared in the long river of history, and some had maintained their operation by tenacious vitality. At least when Speaker Jeremy announced the start of today's discussion on the war motion, the efficiency in the conference hall was finally much faster than before.
However, at this time, they had to face an awkward motion: Should they agree with Roddy's requisition of food in Rasha City?
Most of the councilors did not agree at all, and the reason was obvious. However, Jeremy timely reminded them, "Everyone, the defense of Rasha City is currently led by Wizard Valad. Without the help of the Kingdom of Karen, I don't know if Wizard Valad's team alone can withstand the enemy's attack. Of course, I'm not doubting Wizard Valad's ability, but because the enemy's weapon has blocked our wizards, it's a well-known fact that we're in a disadvantageous situation now."
"So if we oppose Prime Minister Roddy, I don't know if he will continue to defend the city, but now there's a question in front of us — who will explain this to Prime Minister Roddy and his army?"
In the report, Wizard Valad had clearly stated that he could not use the army to force Roddy to give up the food, and very straightforwardly left the decision-making and execution power to the council. His meaning was also very clear: If you oppose, send your own people to persuade him.
As expected, as soon as Speaker Jeremy finished speaking, the meeting suddenly quieted down.
The councilors were not stupid. It was one thing to protest verbally, but now Rasha City was the most important city in the kingdom. If they drove Roddy away and caused Rasha City to fall again, who knew whether they would become a sinner in history and cause the whole kingdom to fall into the flames of war?
"Moreover … according to the agreement signed with Prime Minister Roddy, we are indeed obliged to provide him with the food he needs for the war. Of course, like all of you, I didn't expect him to come so soon. According to the estimate of his arrival in three months, we haven't even had the time to start collecting food for the Kingdom of Karen's army."
At this point, the councilors also understood that there was no need to continue to resist. Only when you have a strong army in your hand can you speak with confidence … Because of the existence of the "anti-magic domain" in this war, Lassman's army did not have a sense of existence, and in addition to Valad's series of tricks, they now felt that they could not even lift their heads up.
Therefore, after silently passing the motion of "agreeing to hand over the supplies of Rasha City to the garrison of the Kingdom of Karen", these sorcerers at the same time focused on one thing: "The actual combat application of the new war puppets of Moffett Academy".
"We can't just sit here and wait for death. It's very foolish to place our hopes on the Kallon Kingdom's army. But now … only the puppets of Moffett Academy can help us turn the tide in this war."
"Then … Wizard Renlotte, can you explain to us the latest research results of your academy?"
Jeremy said as he projected the blueprint with a spell. After seeing the amazing shape and scale, all the high-order sorcerers in the room collectively exclaimed —
"So big? Can it really be made?! "
