The corn in the field was still not ripe, so they picked only about a quarter of it, and then took it home.

According to the previous practice, there was no need to break so much corn, but now there are many relatives and friends, so in addition to leaving a little corn for yourself, the rest is given to friends and relatives.

For example, the uncle, and some relatives of the eldest girl's family have shared a little, such as Long Xiaotian and Luo Xiaoyun and his wife, Chen Lao, Xiao Lao, Li Lao and others, plus a few brothers, as well as Ma Lao's family in the academy, Li Qiubai and a group of masters and professors, and the teachers in the school have also shared a little bit at home.

The taste of this sweet corn immediately surprised these friends, and they asked Yunyi how this corn was grown, and if he could ask for some seeds to plant in his yard next year.

Of course, Yunyi claimed that these corns were mutated immediately, and of course there were seeds for the second year, but it was hard to say whether they could grow such sweet corn.

A quarter of an acre of land was broken, and a few hundred corns were given to the people, and there was still a little left; There were still thirty or forty left before the night was cooked, so the eldest girl carried a basket of twenty or so to give to Lian'er, and Yun Yi followed when she had nothing to do.

"Chen Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time, what have you been busy with lately?"

Halfway through, Yun Yi suddenly saw Chen Wei walking hurriedly on the road, and immediately greeted him loudly.

"I've been busy assembling airplanes lately, and I don't usually show up much!"

Chen Wei stopped with a smile, saw Yun Yi and the eldest girl, and smiled slightly:

"I heard that you also went to the grassland when you went to the Northeast this time, what is the scenery like over there, is it the wind blowing the grass and seeing cattle and sheep in the book, or the legendary desertification!"

"Huh. There are both cattle and sheep in the wind and grass, and there are also deserts, which all depend on whether the individual pasture is cherished or not, and whether there is a long-term vision! ”

Yun Yi smiled, remembering the scene of the Hulunbuir grassland, his heart suddenly moved, and he remembered a very critical issue, and immediately blamed himself in his heart; It's just that at this time, it's not the reason to think about things, so I changed the topic with a smile and said:

"That's right. Just now you said that you were busy assembling the plane, and now that the plane is ready, when will it be able to fly? ”

"It's almost assembled now, and it is estimated that tomorrow afternoon or the morning after tomorrow, it will be able to test the flight after debugging!"

Speaking of the aircraft he made, Chen Wei suddenly became excited, and his eyes lit up and he talked about some things on the aircraft he built, as well as the expected performance of the aircraft, and so on.

"How high can you fly this plane? How far can you fly in an hour, and how far is the maximum range. And what is the load capacity? How many tens of thousands did it cost to build an airplane? ”

Probably all boys, since childhood, have been very fond of flying that symbolizes freedom and guns that symbolize force, and Yunyi is naturally no exception. Chen Wei, who listened to the airplane, immediately asked with interest.

"The engine I used for this plane was a motorcycle engine that was removed from the 400 motorcycle, and it only cost more than 3,000 yuan to buy this old engine. And the propellers are made of wood by myself; As for things like wings and landing gear, rudders, horizontal rudders, control lines, etc., they were bought from the second-hand market, and they cost a total of two thousand dollars, which adds up to five thousand! ”

"It's so cheap. You're cheaper than a new motorcycle! ”

Yun Yi suddenly looked at Chen Wei with a look of surprise, as if he remembered that the cheapest ultralight aircraft in China seemed to cost seventy or eighty thousand.

"In fact, the price of many things and materials is not expensive, but with the addition of labor and taxes, as well as the profits of manufacturers and stores, they are expensive to death; For example, this aircraft, an ultralight aircraft abroad, the cheapest is 20,000 US dollars; However, most of the ultralight aircraft flying in the sky abroad are made by themselves, and the materials are up to 2,000 US dollars.

Now in the American ultralight aircraft circle, if you spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy an airplane to attend a party, then others will look down on you, and everyone else will make it yourself, so you can be creative! ”

Chen Wei is a fan of art, speaking of the plane, it is the head of the road, so that Yun Yi is even more fascinated when he hears it, and after the most lucruptuous, he took out a dozen sweet corn from the basket and gave it to Chen Wei, and then asked the eldest girl to go to Lian'er by herself.

"Damn, this plane is ugly!"

As soon as he walked into a fiberglass shed on the threshing floor, Yun Yi immediately saw the IKEA-looking plane, and immediately blurted out.

"You know a fart, this kind of plane is called flying, every part is made by myself, full of mechanical and simple beauty, unlike those planes that use too many useless decorations are too cumbersome!"

Chen Wei waved his hand disdainfully, and he didn't pay attention to Yunyi actually saying that his plane was ugly.

This plane is really not beautiful in Yunyi's eyes, from the nose to the tail, it is about six or seven meters long, and the length of the wings is about eight meters; The fuselage is made of steel tubes about the thickness of a thumb, while the wings are made of foam, nylon canvas, and balsa wood.

The engine is obviously removed from the 400 motorcycle, and a double-bladed propeller with a diameter of about 80 centimeters is pressed on it, which looks very rough in workmanship, but it is simply polished.

The whole plane is very simple, but the landing gear looks very strong, and it seems that the three small tires are removed from the small cart, which makes Yun Yi suddenly remember the wheelbarrow in his heart.

Sitting in the driver's seat, I obviously feel that the position of this aircraft is too simple, there is no cockpit and no windshield, and even the instrument has only a poor fuel gauge, which is really simple to the extreme.

In front of the seat removed from the car, there are two simple rudders on the left and right feet, a horizontal tiller in front of you, and a small throttle on the right side.

An airplane, with this watch, one handle, two rudders, and one throttle control, is extremely simple.

"Dude, you just have this thing on here, can it be safe to fly?"

Yun Yi was a little worried, as if he looked at the planes on the picture, and the instruments were densely packed.

"The plane is not a space shuttle, where can there be so many instruments, except for making the pilot dizzy, to be honest, it doesn't play much role at all!"

Chen Wei waved his hand indifferently, and then introduced the performance of the aircraft to Yunyi.

The maximum flight speed of this aircraft is 90 kilometers per hour, and the flight distance is generally 200 kilometers with a 25-liter fuel tank on board. The maximum ceiling is 4,000 kilometers and the maximum load is 200 kilograms, which meets the definition of a general ultralight aircraft.

"Test flight tomorrow afternoon, you can come and have a look then!"

Chen Wei checked the plane inside and out, and then smiled at Yun Yi and said, "When the time comes, the professors, masters, and teachers in the academy will come over to take a look, so come over too!" (To be continued......)
