Chapter 49: Flying Mecha
"General Meng, of course I have to use a machine to fly up the mountain."
"What machinery?"
"It's a wooden kite."
"The kite, that is, the eagle, the temperament is fierce, the wings are good at flying, the wooden kite is of course the eagle made of wood, I have seen the wooden snake meerkat you made, it is running on the ground, but it is difficult to make a wooden kite, even if you can make a wooden kite, it is just to fly down the slope with the help of the high slope, or fly to the sky by the wind, now the chaotic army of Qi Wannian is on the highest peak of Jiujun Mountain, want to fly up the mountain with the help of the wooden kite, unless there is a higher peak, it is impossible to let the wooden kite fly up the mountain, besides, what is the use of you letting the wooden kite fly up the mountain, It's useless for people to go up and down. ”
"General, this kind of wooden kite I want to make can not only fly, but also does not need wind and high slopes, this kind of wooden kite can flutter and fly, like a real bird, the biggest advantage is that it can fly with people."
"Manned flight? It is inconceivable that from ancient times to the present, there has never been such a flying mecha. ”
"Yes, the public loss class in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, Lu Ban, he once made a real wooden kite."
"I know this, it is rumored that Lu Ban can use the wind to fly in the sky for three days, and I have never heard that his wooden kite can carry people." Meng Guan Dao.
"That's true, but is there a folklore that the general knows?"
"What legend?"
Legend has it that not long after Lu Ban got married, he was invited by a monk in Liangzhou to build a pagoda, and it was completed after two years. Others are in Liangzhou, and they can't rest assured about their parents at home, and they miss their newlywed wives even more. He longed to have a pair of wings to fly home, and at last he was inspired by the birds flying in the sky, and he made a delicate wooden kite, installed the mechanism, and tried it, and sure enough, he flew very quickly, so that after dinner every day, he took the wooden kite, activated the mechanism, and flew home in a short time.
His wife was both happy and surprised to see him return, but they did not alarm his parents, and Lu Ban flew back to Liangzhou on a wooden kite the next day. It didn't take long for the back and forth to get pregnant. Luban's parents went to bed early and got up late, and they didn't know about their son's homecoming. Seeing that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, I thought she was misbehaving. As soon as the mother-in-law inquired, the daughter-in-law explained that her husband came home every night on a wooden kite. At the time of the lantern, Lu Ban really rode the wooden kite back home. The second elder's doubts suddenly dissipated. The old father was happy to ride a wooden kite to open his eyes, and Lu Ban had no choice but to follow his father.
Early the next morning, the old father rode on the wooden kite, and the son explained how to use the mechanism, and asked him to go early and return early, don't mistake myself, I will go back to Liangzhou tomorrow. I didn't expect the old father to manipulate the mechanism improperly, and he couldn't stop anymore, and flew to Wu Di, and the people of Wu Di saw a monster fall from the sky, and rode a white-bearded old man, thinking it was a monster, and surrounded it, and couldn't help but say, the old man was killed with a stick, and the wooden kite was cut down with a knife.
Luban waited at home for many days, but did not see his father return. He was afraid that something would happen, so he made a wooden kite and flew everywhere to look for it. After finding Wu Di, I inquired and learned that my father had died. He returned to Liangzhou in grief and indignation, thinking that he had made the wooden kite by himself, which killed his father, and he had done a stupid thing, so he threw the wooden kite into the fire and burned it, and the manned wooden kite has been lost since then. ”
"Alas, it's a pity that ......it's lost," Meng Guan sighed.
"Although it was lost for a time, but fortunately there is General Ma Long of our dynasty, he is good at improving all kinds of tricks, not only invented a lot of weapons, restored the wooden ox and the mecha soldiers, and even the manned wooden kite was successfully restored by him."
"Really?!"
"Yes, General Ma clearly recorded the results of his restoration in the 'Wind Queen's Grip Sutra', so we have to rush to make a batch of wooden kites, with brave soldiers, with only a thousand men and horses, we can capture Qi Wannian and Hao Duyuan alive."
"Okay, I'll pull out your craftsman now, how many wooden kites do you want to make?"
"I want a thousand, work day and night, and finish it in three days."
"I'd like to see the wooden kite you made right now, so let's do it." Meng Guan said and instructed the craftsmen to select the wood, and Zu Ti immediately led people to make wooden kites.
(In fact, to say that, the wooden kite at that time was the prototype of the current airplane, and the ancients never gave up their dream of flying, so it can be said that the earliest airplanes should have been born in China, and the earliest robots were also born in China, because it was the ancient Chinese who first created mecha people.) )
After three days of intense work, a thousand wooden kites were finally completed, and Zu Ti was so excited that he immediately asked Meng Guan to take people to the river for testing.
Meng Guan just ordered out a thousand soldiers, and Zu Ti said: "General, the army went out to bring three thousand warriors from the East Palace, they are the elite divisions that I personally trained, enough to be one hundred, which has already been shown in the previous actual battles, so Zu Ti asked the general, I will personally take a thousand warriors from the East Palace to go up the mountain on a wooden kite and capture Qi for ten thousand years." ”
"You are not a member of the army, and you are only a supernumerary member of the army, so it is said that you cannot lead the army."
"General, Zu thinks that this battle is extremely important, it may be related to the fate of Guanzhong, if it can be successful, Guanzhong can be drawn without a fight, although Zu Li does not dare to say that he is superior in combat power, but he is quite confident in this battle, he can succeed in a battle and stabilize Guanzhong."
"This ......" Meng Guan thought about it and agreed, he no longer considered Empress Jia's attitude towards Zu Ti, what he was most concerned about was winning or losing the war, which was related to his future future, if he could win the battle, his own credit would be the greatest, as for Zu Ti, a supernumerary member of the army, it was nothing, he said to Zu Ti: "Okay, I agree that you will personally lead the troops, but only this once." ”
"Don't worry, this should be the last battle to quell the chaos, catch Qi Wannian Zu and leave the barracks."
"Okay, let's pull out the horses now, and let's test the wooden kite first."
"Thank you, General!"
The soldiers of the East Palace heard that Jingzhong first selected a thousand warriors to go up the mountain, and the leader of the team was to train their ancestors, and strive to go with them.
Zu Ti came to them and was full of emotion in the face of these personally trained warriors.
He selected 1,000 out of 3,000 people, and each of them sent a wooden kite to the river to test.
When he came to the river, Zu Ti took a wooden kite from the car, Meng Guan stepped forward to look carefully, and saw that the wooden kite looked like a huge eagle, six and a half feet long, two feet high on its back, with two wings, three feet high and two feet two inches wide, and the eagle's neck was upturned, and people could sit on it to hug the neck.
Meng Guan said: "How to use this, show it quickly." ”
Zu Ti wanted to test it for himself first, he put the wooden kite on the ground, and instead of sitting on it, he squatted in front of the wooden kite and pressed a button in the first row of the mechanism.
But seeing the wooden kite's wings flapping, but the speed is not fast, just like a bird on the ground, about to fly into the sky, the wooden kite's wings waved, slowly left the ground, standing still, four feet from the ground, Zu Ti grabbed the neck and jumped on its back, one hand pressed the second button in the first row, this time the wooden kite's wings waved significantly faster, stunned and flew into the air, everyone saw Zu Ti fly directly to the opposite bank in the high altitude, crossed the Wuli Wei River, and disappeared for a while.
The soldiers of the East Palace shouted to the sky: "Ancestral Sect Leader...... The head of the ancestral sect ......! ”
Meng Guan couldn't see Zu Ti's shadow, and couldn't help shouting: "Zu Ti come back soon......!" ”
