Chapter 487: The test flight was successful

Li An looked around, and the huge airport was surrounded by powerful guards, who were responsible for the security of the airport, so as to prevent the young people from suddenly breaking in and disrupting the normal take-off and landing of the plane.

On the viewing platform on the side of the plane, the ministers headed by Li Linfu and the princes headed by the crown prince have not yet sat down, they gather in groups according to their status, and the main topic of talking is the take-off of the plane, of course, there are also discussions about current state affairs or the Tang Dynasty, and even a few officials are talking about the two novels of Condor Shooting and Condor.

The location of the viewing platform is in the middle of the side of the runway, so that the plane and landing can be seen more clearly, and the viewing effect is also the best, and the viewing platform has more seats, enough to accommodate hundreds of people, which is a temporary building and can be demolished at any time.

The question that Li An is most concerned about at the moment is whether the plane can take off safely and land safely on the runway after the performance, only in this way can he spend a huge amount of imperial court finance to carry out this project and be recognized by the world.

"How's the preparation?"

Li An looked at the little official in charge of the test flight mission, and his expression was slightly nervous.

Success or failure is here, how can it be said that it is not nervous, but the theory and ground tests are carried out very smoothly, and it is a trial and error, so Ang Lee has a greater certainty of the success of this test flight.

"Li Shilang, everything is ready, and there is a great hope of success."

The little official replied confidently.

"How's the test pilot doing?"

Ang Lee said and looked at the test pilot who was already on the plane.

"Li Shilang, the test pilot is in good physical condition and will not have problems."

Li An walked to the plane, looked at the test pilot sitting in the pilot's seat, and asked, "Are you nervous?" ”

"Back to Li Shilang, there is a little."

The test pilot stood up and saluted Ang Lee.

"It's okay, the official is also a little nervous, but the aircraft we have developed is relatively mature, you have to believe us, after flying, you must be calm when you are in the sky, don't be too nervous, understand?"

Ang Lee admonished.

Test pilots must not only be good in technology and courage, but also have excellent psychological quality; once they are nervous in the sky, the consequence may be that the plane is destroyed and people die.

"Yes, Li Shilang, the villain understands."

The test pilot looked resolute.

Ang Lee encouraged again, and then walked around the plane a few times, carefully inspecting the various parts of the plane to ensure that all parts of the plane were working properly.

Near the viewing platform, the ministers and princes were still engaged in lively discussions, and they were full of great interest in whether the plane would take off successfully, and everyone was excited that they could see the plane in the sky for the first time.

"The aircraft has been developed for more than half a year, and it is finally time for a test flight, but I don't know if it is as divine as Li Shilang said after it really flies."

A senior official said.

"When does Li Shilang make a mistake, of course, this time will not be an exception, and he will support Li Shilang with his humble position."

"If this plane can really fly around like a bird, it will be so convenient to travel in the future! I heard that from the capital to Luoyang, it only takes two hours. ”

"However, this plane does not look big, and it can't hold many things, or the train is more affordable, and the transportation of people and goods in the future mainly depends on the train, and the plane flies in the sky like a bird, which is not safe enough."

"That's right! If the plane fell from the sky, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

"yes, it's safer on the ground."

Although everyone is very interested in airplanes, there are not many who are optimistic about airplanes, and they are still in a wait-and-see attitude.

"Everyone, the plane is about to take off, take your seats!"

Ang Lee walked to the viewing platform and greeted everyone one by one.

"Li Shilang."

"Li Shilang."

Everyone greeted Ang Lee politely and asked about something related to the plane, which seemed full of gossip.

Ang Lee naturally wanted to give a rough introduction, and then let everyone wait patiently for the historical moment when the plane took off.

When all the participants are in place, Datang's first plane will take a test flight.

"Li Shilang, it's already okay."

Li An nodded, opened his mouth and ordered: "Okay, start the test flight immediately." ”

"Bang ......"

After a signal sounded, the plane began to start.

"Buzz ......"

With a loud roar, the massive plane began to slide forward, faster and faster, and soon passed the viewing platform and continued to slide forward.

At the moment of passing through the viewing platform, the speed of the plane has exceeded the speed of the war horse, and it is getting faster and faster, and it looks full of domineering.

All the officials who saw this wonderful scene opened their eyes wide and felt deeply shocked in their hearts.

"That's too fast, isn't it?"

"This is the moment the plane takes off, it's too domineering."

"Wow, what a wind! It's amazing. ”

"Flying, really flying, wow!"

"Fly, fly......"

Soon, everyone saw the plane fly successfully, and they were all very excited, and shouted involuntarily to express their inner excitement, regardless of their identity and status, in this happy moment, naturally there is no need to hide.

Ang Lee's mood at the moment is very wonderful, and his excitement surpasses everyone, because this plane was invented with his efforts, and the person who has the greatest credit is Ang Lee.

Watching the plane he worked so hard to develop successfully fly into the blue sky, there is no need to say this kind of excitement, except for Ang Lee, no one else will ever be able to experience this happy mood.

After the plane took off, the test pilots circled back and forth around the viewing platform according to the pre-arranged subjects, so that the senior officials at the viewing platform could take a closer look at the plane that had just been successfully tested.

"Li Shilang, it's amazing! It's amazing that such a big machine can really fly into the sky. ”

"It's really my luck to have a talent like Li Shilang!"

"Li Shilang is mighty and domineering ......"

Looking at the planes flying around in the sky like birds, all the ministers admired Li Ang very much, and felt that Li An was so awesome that he could actually make a machine fly into the sky, which not everyone can do.

Li Bai, deputy editor-in-chief of Datang Daily, was at the scene at the moment, and when he saw the plane hovering overhead, he suddenly had a whim and shouted: "Come on, pen and ink are waiting." ”

The person next to him knew that Li Bai was talented, so he hurriedly brought paper and pen.

Li Bai picked up the brush and wrote a domineering poem in one go, then threw the brush and continued to look up at the huge plane in the sky.

"Come, hurry up and enter the palace and tell Your Majesty the whole good news."

While Li An was excited, he did not forget to tell the emperor the good news, if it were not for the emperor's continuous support, it would be difficult for him to complete this huge project.

Since it was the first test flight, the fuel carried by the plane was still not sufficient, so it could only fly for about two moments, and if it did not land in time, it might fall due to the exhaustion of fuel.

Test pilots are highly trained, the level is definitely leveraged, and there is also a fuel prompt device on the aircraft, so how much fuel is left can be seen.

The test pilots circled around the viewing platform as required, and after there was not much fuel left, they adjusted the attitude of the plane as required, and then taxied and landed.

"Look, the plane is going to land, it's going to land."

"Hey, it's going to fall."

Everyone looked intently at the plane that was about to land, it was wonderful when it took off, and the plane when it landed was also worth paying attention to.

A qualified aircraft must not only be able to take off, fly normally, but also be able to land safely, only these in one go, all successful, a test flight can be regarded as a complete success.

Li An nervously looked at the plane that was slowly approaching, his heart was in his throat, in the whole test flight process, Li An was most worried about the landing process, this process is the most dangerous, once the landing is unstable, this test flight is not a complete success.

The plane got closer and closer, slowly approaching the runway, the attitude became more and more stable, and finally, the front and rear wheels touched the runway in turn, and made the whole plane tremble, which made everyone nervous, but in the end, the plane still slowed down and taxied steadily forward, and after crossing the viewing platform, it came to a steady stop.

The test pilot got out of the plane, removed all the life-saving equipment from his body, and stretched out his hand to greet all the ministers and the royal family.

"It was a success, and the test flight of the aircraft was a complete success."

Ang Lee was the first to stand up from the viewing platform and shouted happily.

"Wow......"

"Oooh oh ......"

Under the leadership of Ang Lee, all the ministers and royals who participated in the watch shouted happily, and those who shouted that they couldn't move laughed to express their inner excitement.

"Success, the flight test of the aircraft was successful!"

Li An shouted again, and once again led a large number of people to shout loudly, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The excitement lasted for a long time, and everyone was excited.

And after that, the main players naturally want to come out and show and say polite words.

Like the crown prince and several princes, as well as the ministers headed by Li Linfu, they all came out to say a few words, express their feelings at the moment, look forward to a better future, compliment the emperor's wise decision-making, and praise Li An's talent.

"The success of the plane test flight is a great joy for my Datang, which is mainly due to the wise decision of my father, Li Shilang's all-out efforts, the full cooperation of the ministers, and the hard work and sweat of many talents, the king assassin is extremely happy, with the plane, it will be more convenient for my Datang to transmit messages in the future, I Datang ......"

The crown prince Li Heng is still very talented, and he said it for about a quarter of an hour in one breath, but basically it is some official words and clichΓ©s that praise merit and virtue, and there is not much novelty, but it is still very comfortable to listen to.

Li Heng just finished speaking, King Qing, forever, these princes, also went up to talk about their feelings, because their status is lower than that of the crown prince, so naturally they can't talk at length like this, but just say a few words casually.

After the princes finished speaking, Li Linfu, the right minister who represented the head of the hundred officials, began a tirade again.

"Li Shilang's R&D aircraft has been a complete success today, which is really the luck of my Datang, the luck of His Majesty, the luck of hundreds of officials, the blessing of the people of the world, and the ...... of my Datang."

is another very comfortable words to listen to, and with Li Linfu's smiling face, it can really make people feel like a spring breeze.

After Li Linfu, more than a dozen ministers said a few words one by one, and the combined length was a little more than Li Linfu's.

As the commander-in-chief of the test flight, Ang Lee is naturally the finale, and the last one to make a long-term statement must be Ang Lee, of course, Ang Lee has never been afraid of such occasions, and has prepared more lines than them, among them, many of them are still about the professional aspect of the aircraft, which is definitely more attractive than other people's speeches.

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness the Prince, the princes, and the ministers have already said a lot just now, here, I won't say more, what I want to say today is about the use of the aircraft in my Datang Dynasty in the future, and the level that the final plane will reach, you have all seen just now, the huge machine can take off safely and land safely on the ground, which is enough to show that I did not deceive the world, the plane is really able to make it.

But this is just the beginning, you have also seen, the current plane is too simple, can load few people and goods, there is not much practical use, but this is just the beginning, in the future, the size of the aircraft will become bigger and bigger, the number of people and goods that can be loaded will also increase exponentially, the speed of flight is several times higher than now, taking Chang'an to Luoyang as an example, the current plane has to fly for more than two hours, after the plane speeds up in the future, it can arrive in Luoyang in less than an hour, is it very powerful! ”

Speaking of this, Li An took a breath and observed everyone's expressions.

"Wow, it's so fast to arrive in Luoyang in less than an hour."

"Yes! Li Shilang is really a genius of my Tang Dynasty, I used to accompany His Majesty to Luoyang, walked for half a month, after the train appeared, there was only half a day's journey left, and now, the plane appeared again, and it could arrive in Luoyang in less than an hour, which was too fast. ”

"Li Shilang is a supreme genius, not comparable to me."

Everyone sighed, showing great respect for Ang Lee.

Li An looked at everyone, and then said: "Everyone, after the continuous improvement of the aircraft, one can carry more than 100 people, if the goods are transported, it is enough to carry a train wagon, although this volume can not be compared with the train, but it is much more expensive at a high speed, some urgent things and materials, can be used by airplane, in the future, the aircraft technology is advanced and reliable, we can travel by plane, go to a farther place to see, see the customs and customs of various places." ”

"One plane can carry 100 people, how big is that! You can really fly. ”

"Of course, you said it was impossible for machines to fly? Isn't it flying now? ”

The crowd whispered.
