"Wahahahaha~, it's so cool!"

Gao Laosan, who was lying under the glider, let out an excited cry.

Chen Xu couldn't help but twitch a few times, this thing doesn't know what will happen after it flies, and it is estimated that it will be scared later.

Sure enough, as the glider got faster and faster, under the blowing of the oncoming river wind, the front wheels of the glider began to slowly rise, and the two horses also ran faster and faster, and the wind whistled around the body.

This feeling of complete lack of control was completely different from riding a horse, and I could not control the situation by myself at all, so the previous excitement slowly turned into a kind of fear, and the tension of the body began to flow, and the clenched arms began to sore, and the body began to tremble.

"Wow, it's too fast, I'm scared ......"

The sound of the ghost crying wolf was blown away by the river breeze, but no matter how frightened it was, the glider flew higher and higher in the violent shaking, and soon surpassed the height of the two horses, and it was still rising in height, hula and lala.

"What is Gao Laosan doing, is the day lady?" A gentleman stood beside Chen Xu, looking at Gao Laosan, who was writhing in horror under the glider, and muttered.

And seeing that the glider really flew with a big living person, there was thunder of joy on the river beach, and no one could hear Gao Laosan's frightened voice.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect this bamboo kite to really be able to carry people flying!"

"Yes, it's just that if you fall, you'll die!"

"Playthings are demoralized, strange skills are ingenious, what is the benefit of the country and the people?"

A group of princes and princes gathered around the emperor and talked about it, both excited and worried, and some frowned, stared at Chen Xu from time to time and muttered to express their dissatisfaction with this messy invention and creation.

Two hundred zhang away, a few minutes for the horses, and suddenly the two horses had reached the pebble area and slowed down, and by this time the glider had already flown to a height of more than twenty zhang, and at this point, the two riders did not turn and run back, but untied the ropes in the saddle and let go of the traction.

The glider staggered and continued to fly forward, the altitude did not decrease, and the speed flew very fast along the Wei River in the direction of the Dongmen Bridge.

"Turn...... Quick turn ......"

A group of people hurriedly began to jump to their feet and shout, but at this time it was already two or three hundred meters away, coupled with the height and river wind, it was impossible for Gao Laosan on the glider to hear it, and at this time he was already frightened to the point of bewilderment.

It's too high, and the people below are about the same size as kittens and dogs at a height of twenty zhang, and the scenery on the ground is passing by rapidly, and the tears blown by the river wind are blurred, and they have basically lost their sense of direction.

Watching the glider dragging two long ropes farther and farther, everyone on the river beach was nervous and did not speak, and could only watch the glider sway in the air and fly eastward, as if it could be planted on the big tree on the river bank at any time.

"Gao Laosan is finished!" Meng Yun clenched his fists tightly and sighed in a low voice.

Chen Xu's eyebrows were also twisted, and he could only secretly pray in his heart for more blessings.

"Look, look, the glider has turned around!"

After the glider flew for almost 300 zhang, Gao Laosan, who was lying on the wooden frame, seemed to finally come to his senses, and the violently shaking glider slowly stabilized in the process of descending, swaying from side to side a few times before flying obliquely towards the Wei River.

"Whew~" Chen Xu and a few gentlemen breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

Nima's second force finally didn't scare him to the point of losing his soul.

"Let's go, let's go ahead and have a look!"

Chen Xu turned over and got on the horse, Meng Yun and a group of gentlemen and their respective guards also got on the horse, with the shouting of the driver and the whipping of the horse, more than a dozen horses spread their hooves and chased down the riverbank, and under the drive of Chen Xu and others, the river beach suddenly became busy, countless people rode horses and swarmed to follow, hundreds of horses galloped, the hooves thundered, as if the army raided.

And because of the glider's lift-off, on the busy road to the Weihe Bridge near the East Gate, countless convoys and civilians kept exclaiming and looking up at a big bird that was staggering overhead, and under the belly of the big bird, there seemed to be a person struggling and crying in horror, but nothing could be heard.

Soon after the big bird flew over, the sound of horses' hooves surged like muffled thunder, and soon the black pressed a group of horses to gallop over, and the first group of young men in Chinese costumes rushed over.

"Look, the person at the head is the Marquis of Qinghe!" Someone in the crowd who was hiding on the side of the road exclaimed.

"That big bird must be the immortal art of Qinghe Hou, follow up and take a look!"

As a result, more people left their goods and followed the Weihe Bridge.

At this time, the boats on the Wei River are dense, and on the huge ferry and wharf near the Weihe Bridge in the east of the city, countless boatmen and people have also looked up at the sky, a big bird swayed from the height of more than ten zhang from the river surface to the opposite bank, and flew lower and lower, and finally swept a big tree on the other side of the river crookedly, and after being hung by the treetops, with a miserable ghost cry, a figure fell from the big bird, wrapped in a branch crackling and smashed into the shallow water on the bank of the river, And the big bird also roared, and seemed to fall behind the woods.

"Driving~" Chen Xu stepped on the stirrups and whipped the horses, and galloped towards the place where the glider fell after bypassing the Weihe Bridge with a group of gentlemen, and at the same time someone shouted loudly for the boats under the bridge to hurry up to save people.

Seven or eight minutes later.

On the south bank of the Wei River, on the edge of a river beach outside the woods.

The drenched Gao Laosan was lying on his back on the muddy floor, and Chen Xu was giving him cardiopulmonary compressions.

When Chen Xu and the others arrived, Gao Laosan had been dragged to the shore by a group of children who were grazing cattle and horses by the river, but Gao Laosan had been soaking in the river for two or three minutes, so what he saw was that Gao Laosan, who was covered in torn clothes, pale and swollen in his stomach, was almost breathless.

After pressing for nearly five minutes, Gao Laosan finally squirted out a mouthful of sewage, and then began to cough violently, Chen Xu also quickly turned Gao Laosan over and lay on a stone, and after spitting up for half a minute, Gao Laosan finally relieved himself.

"I ...... Where am I? Gao Laosan looked at his head in confusion.

"How does it feel, does it feel like it's in sharp pain?" Chen Xu pinched Gao Laosan's chin and looked left and right a few times and asked.

"No...... Very good...... It's just dizzy, oops~, my leg hurts......" Gao Laosan leaned on the stone and gasped, originally covering his chest, and then covered his right leg and began to call.

Chen Xu squatted down and touched it carefully with his hand, and said with a twitch in his face: "The leg is broken!" ”

"Huh?!" Gao Laosan collapsed instantly, hugged his legs and began to cry, "I...... Am I going to be a cripple in the future! ”

"Melon peel! It's good to be able to save your life, what is it if your leg is broken! A gentleman said.

"That's it, if the leg is broken, at most when you the mother-in-law, you don't have to work hard!" The other gentleman continued to enlighten.

"Master Hou, please use immortal magic to help me heal, I don't want to be a cripple!" Gao Laosan hugged Chen Xu's leg and cried.

"Don't worry, it's just a slight break, just go to the health center and let the orthopedic doctor pick it up and put on a plaster cast later!" Chen Xu is a little more professional.

"Then it's going to be back to normal, right?" Gao Laosan asked excitedly.

"This depends on luck, but you are very lucky, you flew so high and so far and didn't die, which means that there are gods who are taking care of you!"

"Hahahaha, Ye is really a person who is favored by the gods, hey, it hurts, send me to the health center......" Gao Laosan shouted with a smile while crying.

At this time, thousands of people had gathered on this river beach again, and even more than a dozen Xuanwu guards and forbidden troops were also standing beside them, until Chen Xu woke up by touching Gao Laosan's chest, and then they saluted Chen Xu and then got on their horses and left, probably returning to the emperor and a group of princes and princesses.

"Master Hou, the left wing of the glider is broken, and the landing gear is also broken, and it needs to be transported back to be repaired!" A few craftsmen finally squeezed over at this time to report.

"Arrange for someone to transport it back first!" Chen Xu sighed and waved his hand.

An unprecedented manned flight test of a glider came to an end.

In addition to talking about more tea and dinner, what is left for millions of people in Xianyang is more of a strong interest in this kind of flying machine.

The front page of the Xianyang Metropolis Daily devoted thousands of words to a detailed report on the flight test, and with the spread of the newspaper, the test would soon spread throughout the entire Daqin world.

For this flight test, the emperor and the civil and military officials did not react much, but in the court the next day, the emperor still personally rewarded the third and second level titles of the elders, and the official position evaluation was promoted by one level, and he became a five-grade official of the household department.

And after knowing about this goods, he was blue and swollen and hung on a plaster and bandaged leg lying on the bed in the health center, and he almost laughed excitedly.

When Chen Xu and a group of gentlemen went to visit with candy and biscuits, this product was still immersed in happiness and laughed.

"How does it feel to fly?" Chen Xu asked as he licked a lollipop.

Gao Laosan closed his eyes and recalled for a long time before saying: "I was very scared at first, the wind poured into my mouth and nose, tears and difficulty breathing, the most important thing is that after turning the corner, I was facing the sun, and Huang couldn't open his eyes at all, and he couldn't see the situation on the bank of the river clearly, otherwise he would definitely be able to avoid the big tree......"

Chen Xu nodded: "Because it is the first test, I didn't prepare in advance, just wear a mask and sunglasses during the next flight test!" ”

"So-and-so's leg hasn't healed yet, next time...... Let's change someone next time! Gao Laosan was stunned.

"Guapi, let someone come and ride next time!" A gentleman pouted disdainfully and said.

"Don't be reckless, you will know that you are scared when you fly up!" Gao Laosan shook his head, and he didn't argue, it seemed that a flight test had made him mature a lot.

"Brother-in-law, this glider costs too much money to play!" Coming out of the health center and riding away, Meng Yun followed Chen Xu and said.

"Don't be afraid to spend money, the main thing is safety, the place near Xianyang is not open enough, and the terrain is too complicated, this accident can be avoided......" Chen Xu rode on the horse and pinched his chin while thinking about it, and said after being silent for a long time, "Gao Saburo is lucky this time, and the next test flight may not have such good luck, just stop the development of the glider first, let's make a slightly safer aircraft first!" ”

"What flying machine?" Meng Yun hurriedly asked.

"Hot air balloons!"

"What is a hot air balloon?"

"The hot air balloon is a huge hollow ball, which is heated by a stove underneath, so that the hot air produced fills the hollow ball, and the hollow ball can float, and a hanging basket is installed below, and people can stand in the gondola, whether it is ascending or descending, it will not be as fast as a glider, and it will fly relatively smoothly and slowly......"

"Hey, what's so fun about flying slowly!" Meng Yun pouted in disdain.

"It's easy to die if you fly fast, okay?" Chen Xu said speechlessly.

"What are you afraid of, Gao Saburo is as timid as a mouse and didn't control it well, next time I must drive the test myself, I will definitely not fall down!"

Chen Xu silently glanced at the high-spirited eldest brother, and decided to arrange for someone to make a coffin with good nanmu in advance after returning home, so as not to let Meng Yi give up his coffin when he got it.

"By the way, brother-in-law, is it difficult to make a hot air balloon?" Although Meng Yun despised the slow-flying hot air balloon, he was still very interested.

"It's not difficult to make, but it's estimated to be very expensive!"

"More expensive than a glider?" Meng Yun asked suspiciously.

"It should be, if you want to take people to fly, you need a ball as high as the city wall, and it is estimated that it will cost tens of thousands of dollars to make a ......"

Meng Yun's body was crooked and almost fell off the horse, his handsome and charming face trembled a few times and said, "Then forget it, if it weren't for your money, we wouldn't be able to afford this glider!" ”

"No, this thing is safer and more useful than a glider, I'll draw a drawing for you later, and you can take it to the craftsman to study it and see if you can make it......"

"Okay, you have to give me this money first!"

The two discussed all the way back to Chen Xu's Qinghe Marquis Mansion, and Chen Xu drew a graphic of a hot air balloon in the study, and told the general production method and principle of this hot air balloon.

Meng Yun was not polite, and took a 10,000 yuan redemption ticket from Chen Xu as start-up capital.

Seeing Meng Yun leave in a hurry, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh.

In such a humble era, it is still unknown whether a hot air balloon can be made, and even if it is made, it is a huge problem whether it can fly, at least it can provide continuous heating fuel is the first problem, and burning wood or charcoal will certainly not meet the needs of manning.

But these can only be explored slowly, unless you find oil, or electrolysis of hydrogen, but at the moment there is nothing, and there may be some hope for oil, as for the generators...... Well, forget it, that's not professional at all, and the takeaway guy is not omnipotent.

Both the glider and the hot air balloon are very expensive projects, and they are also extremely dangerous, the glider is better, at least you can clearly watch the fall to death, but the hot air balloon may be floating and missing, and the bones cannot be found.

Although these two sports seem to be useless at the moment, but they are the easiest and fastest way to understand and apply aerodynamics, if they are well researched and developed, it is not impossible to fly more than ten miles with people in the future, and they can also be used to deter the enemy in this primitive era, once they can be applied on a large scale, the future conquest of Europe will be a great help.

Imagine those European barbarians waiting in the Macedonian phalanx, and then see several huge hot air balloons rising behind the Great Qin army, and then countless gliders piercing through the clouds and dropping bombs down...... Hiss, so sour, I can't describe it in words. (https:)
