Chapter 330: Chapter 294 Gryphon Armor_3
"But everything here overturned my understanding of material limits. And the processing technology—its precision is astounding, finer than a hair’s breadth. This place is definitely the holy land every Goblin dreams of. I have no doubt that all of a Goblin’s fantasies about machinery can be realized here."
Goblins are obsessed with machinery.
Goblin Gaga and the Goblin Engineers here spend almost all their time in the research institute. The more they engage with modern machinery, the deeper they fall, unable to pull themselves away.
Yan Xing leaped onto the back of the Battle Griffin and said to Goblin Gaga, "I have many more awesome machines I haven’t brought over yet, fearing you wouldn’t have enough people to operate them. If you can bring more Goblin Engineers to the Eternal Domain, I’ll show you even more amazing things."
"Really?"
Goblin Gaga’s eyes lit up upon hearing that Yan Xing had even more powerful machines.
"When have I ever lied to you? Move your Alchemy Factory here. Recruit more Goblin Engineers. Together, we can definitely create alchemical products that will drive the world mad."
Without waiting for Gaga’s reply, Yan Xing activated the armor’s flight system.
The armor integrated with the Gryphon Armor’s frame, securely fixing Yan Xing to the Griffon’s back.
His Holographic Helmet established a data connection with the Gryphon Helmet, displaying detailed data before his eyes.
"Kayla, prepare for takeoff."
Kayla was the name of the Battle Griffin Yan Xing rode.
It had been closely involved in the Gryphon Armor’s development, participating in various experiments to adjust the equipment.
Therefore, Kayla showed no resistance when donning the Gryphon Armor; in fact, it was very cooperative.
Yan Xing’s commands transmitted from the Gryphon Helmet’s communicator into Kayla’s ears. Kayla immediately began to run along the cleared runway, accelerating.
The additional support from the mechanical exoskeleton lightened Kayla’s load, so its steps felt anything but heavy.
The acceleration was incredibly smooth.
Once it reached its usual takeoff speed, Kayla spread its wings and began to flap.
The protective framework on its wings provided synchronized assistance.
Simultaneously, the twin turbojet engines ignited, their powerful thrust lifting the Griffon’s body off the ground. Its wings spread wide as its body climbed almost vertically.
It soared high, soon disappearing into the sky.
When the Griffon Kayla leveled out, Yan Xing’s Holographic Helmet displayed an altitude of 7,890 meters.
This altitude was normally unreachable for a large flying creature like a Griffon. They typically operate below two thousand meters to conserve energy.
The Griffon Kayla’s previous maximum flight altitude was 4,000 meters. It couldn’t maintain that height for more than three minutes before needing to descend.
Now, having reached this altitude, the Griffon Kayla still had substantial room to ascend further.
However, for the Griffon’s safety, exceeding the eight-thousand-meter limit was not recommended. This precaution would remain until full-coverage Gryphon Armor and a better life support system could be developed.
At that moment, the synthetic voice of the flight system sounded in Yan Xing’s ears: "Now testing supersonic flight. Knight, please deploy the Magic Shield. Construct the shield in the indicated shape.
If the Magic Shield is not detected within ten seconds, the system will automatically exit supersonic flight mode.
Knight, please be mindful of your magic energy reserves."
As the voice finished, Yan Xing immediately felt a strong push against his back.
The twin turbojet engines engaged their afterburners, rapidly increasing the Griffon’s speed.
The wind pressure intensified against him.
On the projection from Yan Xing’s Holographic Helmet, a ten-second countdown began. Beside it was a diagram for a teardrop-shaped Magic Shield configuration.
