Chapter 227 The Ace Pilots Are All Minors
The Nield Mine, a small square used for regular gatherings, is now bustling with activity.
Several druids from the Gray Forest sat on the small square platform in front of the square, looking at the huge crowd below the stage.
According to Ivan's idea, the team recruited today will be a new type of force that integrates multiple special combat purposes such as reconnaissance, precision strikes, and point-to-point support.
Of course, if conditions permit, Alvin even wants to build an army with a large number of drones.
In that way, this method of fighting, which does not require soldiers to reach the front line, will become a real advantage in war.
The way to control the [Flying Eye] is definitely not similar to the drones on Blue Planet.
Spellcasters like Alvin can separate a part of their consciousness and sink it into the [Flying Eye], and then drive this "extra" limb like they drive their own fingers or feet.
This is the uniqueness of [Mage's Eye].
And because of this, after using the Nield Crystal to solve the energy problem, operating the [Flying Eye] no longer requires a spellcasting profession.
According to Alvin's memory of the requirements for drone pilots in his previous life, the candidates recruited this time need to have a certain level of spatial perception, quick nerve reactions, and excellent physical fitness compared to ordinary people.
After all, flying a drone is also a form of flying, especially when your consciousness moves up and down with the drone, which is not much different from the feeling of being in the sky yourself.
If your physical fitness is not up to standard, you may not be able to last even a five-minute flight mission.
Thirty bright silver [Flying Eye] drones stopped in the center of the square platform in front of Alvin.
As the only two people who knew how to operate [Flying Eye], Ivan and Leia, they became the examiners of this interview.
That's why Alvin started to feel a tingling sensation on his scalp because of the dense crowds in the square.
"Okay, stop complaining, human boy."
The Moon Elf Mage was playing with a [Flying Eye] nearby. This was a special product that Alvin had specially plated with a layer of refined gold.
Originally, these gold nuggets were used as bargaining chips for trading within the human kingdom or in exchange for troop support.
Avent brought an amount worth "a city".
But now, both Alvin and Leia thought that these pieces of fine gold had better uses.
"Hurry up and start. Looking at the number of people here now, I don't think you'll be able to finish it by evening."
Sighing helplessly, Alvin gestured to the half-ling Annie and started today's interview.
Under the organization of the Halfling Garrison, the first group of Nields who were tested walked onto the stage and, under Leia's demonstration, placed their hands on a waist-high crystal ball.
This is a device made by Leia using the technology of the Moon Elves that allows ordinary people to cast spells. It is somewhat similar to Philothir's spell trigger.
However, the spell trigger does not only not require a spellcaster, but also does not require biological operation. It can only trigger the spell, but cannot allow continuous operation.
So even if Alvin can make a bunch of spell triggers now, they are of no use for operating drones.
With all the testers in place, thirty [Flying Eyes] were successfully activated, floating in the air one by one.
Then, at Leia's request, these drones needed to maintain this floating state, and then move in a small range forward, backward, left and right, before the test was completed.
Soon, more than half of the drones began to fly back and forth. Unfortunately, after a while, the testers, who had originally looked excited, gradually turned pale.
One of the human males suddenly let go of his hand, ran to the table and started vomiting.
The drone in mid-air lost its operator, but did not fall directly to the ground. Instead, it hovered in the air under the energy supply of the crystal.
This was the effect of Leia's earlier scratching inside the Flying Eye and engraving the energy stabilization matrix in the crystal mounting slot.
Perhaps it was because the human's voice was too loud, the people on the stage seemed to have a switch turned on. They loosened their hands one by one, ran to the side of the stage and started screaming together.
"This... I didn't expect such a reaction..."
Alvin looked at the people vomiting beside him in disbelief.
Could it be that I played too many games before and overcame the 3D sickness?
Leia thought this situation was very normal. Even most of the master mages would experience dizziness and vomiting when they operated the [Mage's Eye] for the first time because of the huge difference in perspective and senses.
However, there are still about 20% of mages who feel nothing about it.
Leia believes that finding that 20 percent is the key to being competent in operating this new type of weapon.
"Go on, little girl."
After shouting to Annie, Leia turned her attention back to the center of the stage.
It may be that the probability among the first batch of testers was too low, and there was an exception in the second batch of testers who did not feel dizzy or vomited.
The half-human female with a dazed expression looked at the tester, who was lying on the side of the table and vomiting, with great confusion.
"how does it feel?"
Ivan looked at the young girl. She had appeared once before when he was sewing masks. She was a member of the logistics department.
"Sir Ivan, I don't feel anything...
Am I abnormal?"
"Not really. You have the basic conditions to fly the Flying Eye. Take a rest in the waiting area. There are still several rounds of tests to come."
Annie took over the conversation and pulled aside the halfling girl who was a few years younger than her.
"As for you guys!
After you vomit, hurry down and clean up the dirty stuff you vomited!"
With her hands on her hips, she stared at the crowd who had failed the test and shouted angrily.
Unfortunately, the half-ling paladin in maid costume has little deterrent power when she gets aggressive.
It took the entire morning for everyone gathered in the square to be tested.
The data Leia provided was actually not accurate. More than 30 percent of applicants passed the first round of testing.
It may be because the mages have spent too much time reading and writing and lack exercise and their physical fitness is too poor, the proportion of ordinary people who can adapt to the [Flying Eye] is obviously higher.
"Sir Ivan, shall we start the second round directly?"
Looking at the hundred or so people in the waiting area, Annie began to worry about whether the Nield people could form a force that met Ivan's requirements.
Just now, several professionals from the patrol team fainted while operating the [Flying Eye].
"Let's get started right away. There are fewer people in the second round, so it shouldn't take long."
"okay!
Then, from now on, form groups of thirty, operate the [Flying Eye], and fly around the cliffs of Nield!"
"One more thing..."
The old bootlicker Leia walked to Annie and looked at the group of Nield people opposite.
“You need to use the fastest speed possible, but you can’t let the [Flying Eye] fall to the ground.
do you understand? "
Then, one after another [Flying Eyes] took off into the air and flew towards the edge of the deep pit staggeringly.
The old bootlicker was controlling his upgraded version, hanging far behind.
"Ivan, have you found any problem?"
"Huh? What's the problem? Nield people are good at vomiting?"
"What a mess! Be serious--
Didn’t you notice that those who passed the first round of tests were too young…”
"Not young, Mr. Leia."
Annie returned to the wooden table, found a chair and sat down on it.
She had been busy running around the whole morning, and even with the stamina of a paladin, her waist and legs were a little sore.
"Among those who passed the test, not a single adult was..."
