During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the fruits are abundant, and the harvest brings joy and happiness to people. In this season full of laughter and laughter www.biquge.info Yan Jiayasu's figure appeared in a secret place on the southwest side of Nanjiao Town.

The terrain is flat, and an area is surrounded by barbed wire. Inside the barbed wire, a straight runway appeared, about 40 meters wide, and several rows of rooms appeared on one side of the runway. In the distance, someone is spinning in a strange circle, someone is doing pull-ups on an iron rack, someone is doing push-ups on the ground. These young people practiced vigorously, and a foreigner instructor supervised with his arms in his hands.

"My lord, this place is very secluded and not easy to find, so it is suitable to be a flying club." Seeing Yan Jiakang's excited expression, Hu Boyong said happily. "It's been half a year, and such a desolate place has changed its old appearance in a blink of an eye. Time flies, and I finally got my wish! ”

"My lord, you have lost a lot in the past six months, Wen Qing complains about me, but you don't listen to my words. You asked Yang Ruiqing to build a secret workshop in the textile factory, and then took Jiang Fangzhen, Mateus and other foreigners, rushed in and couldn't get out, and I wasn't allowed to go in, what the hell is it that you are making up.? ”

"Mr. Hu, let's be honest, we are renovating the engine, and it is useless for you to go in. As for the official himself, the purpose is to steal art from foreigners. "My lord, Mateus and other foreigners seem to worship you, and often give you a thumbs up, which is like stealing art and is clearly a master, you want to fool me." Hu Boyong complained. "Mr. Hu, you have followed this official for so many years, you should know my strengths. The foreigner's fur will be at a glance, and the natural blue is better than the blue, do you say that the foreigner can not bow down and be a minister? ”

If he admits that he has an innate advantage over the "flight cheats", he can't explain it in front of Hu Boyong, after all, he knows his life experience. Moreover, the Wright Brothers in the United States have only been flying for a few years, and he also knows these situations, so Yan Jiakang can only become an expert in the name of "learning". As for Mateus and other foreigners, the worship of Yan Jiakang is nothing more than the fact that he is highly respected by his "genius".

Through "learning", Yan Jiakang not only grew rapidly, but also was able to integrate and draw inferences, especially the improvement suggestions put forward by Yan Jiakang, which shocked the foreign technician, thinking that he was absolutely a "genius" in the field of flying.

Previously, after returning to Zhoucun from the capital, Mateus went to Qingdao to recruit relevant talents according to Yan Jiakang's deployment, and he drew a lot of glider drawings before leaving. A month later, when Mateus returned from Qingdao, it was almost unbelievable that Yan Jiakang and his people actually built two gliders, and at the same time personally selected a group of flying talents.

Matthaus stood in front of two beautiful gliders, dancing excitedly. In fact, making gliders is pediatric for Yan Jiayasu. When he was in school, he was a flying enthusiast, and he used to assemble model airplanes by himself, and he knew all kinds of data about model airplanes. Two streamlined and beautiful gliders, actually monowing. At that time, Mateus came to the conclusion that the monoplane glider "designed" by Yan Jiakang was at the world's leading level.

At the beginning, although the Wright brothers successfully achieved the feat of human flight and built the first powered aircraft, they were not taken seriously in the United States, on the contrary, the power aircraft developed rapidly in Europe, which can be described as a blossom in the wall. Britain, France, and Germany, began to pay attention to the role of aircraft. In particular, the Frenchman Louis Blério, flew a self-built powered plane over the English Channel and successfully landed in England, an event that not only surprised the British, but also made them aware of a certain danger.

It can be said that the sense of security made the British think that the appearance of aircraft will not be able to guarantee the security of their country in the future by maritime defense alone. The aggressive nature of aircraft also played a role in land defense, especially military role, giving the European powers a sense of crisis, which in turn promoted the rapid development of aviation flight. At present, Britain and France are becoming more enthusiastic about building powered aircraft, while Germany seems to be less interested in airplanes, but obsessed with powered airships.

With no use in the United States, Mateus returned to Germany in search of opportunities. However, the German power airship was very popular, so he ran to the closed China to try his luck with a fluke heart.

Perhaps it was providence that he met the "freak" of Yan Jiayasu, and the two sides had a heart and hit it off. Mateus came to China to pan for gold, and he did not have a clear understanding of the role of aircraft in the future military field, but it can be said that aircraft is the most important part of his grand plan, which is a killer weapon for dealing with the Japanese in the future, and it is also a sharp weapon for defending the country. Even if it is difficult and dangerous, he has to build his own aviation team and take the lead in the aviation field.

Mateus, a flying enthusiast, was so impressed by such a good plane that he decided to fly it himself. Mateus's adventurous spirit was understandable, and he did not hesitate to test his flight on a cliff in the southwestern mountains, and the result was a success. It is impossible not to succeed, and Yan Jiayasu is enlarged according to the dimensions of the model aircraft. Matthaus then asked for a few more gliders to be built to train the selected pilots. The use of gliders to master the flying skills of pilots is the first step in cultivating flying talents.

At the beginning, Jiang Fangzhen came to Zhoucun to lecture on martial arts under the instigation and persuasion of Yan Jiakang. When he saw the real situation of the martial arts hall, he was deeply shocked. As the saying goes: the layman looks at the lively, and the insider looks at the doorway. In particular, when I read the military textbooks and training methods compiled by Yan Jiayasu, I couldn't help but feel my blood boiling. But when Yan Jiakang put him in charge of the flying club, Jiang Fangzhen seemed to be insulted and refused very simply.

Yan Jiayasu was not annoyed and did not explain. Instead, he smiled and handed him a dozen materials, saying that when you read these materials, you will definitely take the initiative to find me. At that time, Jiang Fangzhen was extremely reluctant. But when he learned about the huge role of airplanes in the military field in the materials, he suddenly opened his mouth. Jiang Fangzhen was keen on strategic research, and immediately saw that in the future, fighter planes would become air supremacy, and whoever possessed such sharp weapons would be invincible in the world. Jiang Fangzhen did not hesitate and decided to join the flying club.

Later, Yan Jiakang took him to participate in the construction of gliders, and instilled aviation theory in him bit by bit. As early as when Yang Ruiqing was preparing to build a textile factory, Yan Jiakang asked him to build a machining workshop, which was called the ability to process the damaged parts of foreign machines, saying that this would be conducive to improving production efficiency and reducing costs. Regarding Yan Jiakang's measures, Yang Ruiqing obeyed his words. Whether it is to make guns or make aero engines, machine tools, grinding tools, sand turning and even skilled workers who process various parts and components are necessary conditions.

The skilled workers hired from Wuhan have been transferred to the machining workshop, and more than a dozen foreign technicians have also been hired. At first, Yang Ruiqing had opinions about the bloated personnel in the machining workshop, but Yan Jiakang seemed indifferent, but repeatedly asked Yang Ruiqing to recruit talents. In July, six aero engines purchased from Germany arrived, and Yan Jiakang asked Jiang Fangzhen to personally supervise the disassembly of one engine, and asked to achieve the ability to imitate it within a year. The engine was at the heart of Yan Jiayasu's plan, and his aim was to have the ability to build engines before World War I.

After the conditions were met, according to the size of the glider, Yan Jiakang asked Mateus to simulate the amplification and assemble a powered aircraft. After three months of assembly, a powered aircraft was assembled. This aircraft is very similar to the famous German Fokker monoplane, but the layout is more reasonable. Although the length of the aircraft is only 7 or 3 meters, and the height of the aircraft is 2 or 4 meters, the wingspan is 12 meters, and the wing area reaches 20 square meters, which has high lift and gliding ability. The aircraft has a wooden skeleton horizontal wing and an engine output of 70 hp.

At this time, Yan Jiakang and Hu Boyong stood on the airport, watched happily for a while, and then walked towards the hangar. The skeleton and engines of the aircraft, including the wheels, have been installed, and it can be said that this aircraft has embodyed a lot of energy and painstaking efforts. When making the wooden frame, he asked the foreign technicians to reduce the weight of the aircraft as much as possible, but also to be strong. The foreign technicians provided the best design solutions according to their traditional craftsmanship. However, Yan Jiakang disagreed, he led the Chinese "carpenters" to devote themselves to research, in order to reduce the weight of the aircraft, improve the original design scheme racking their brains, and solve many difficult problems.

According to the original design scheme, the weight of the aircraft was reduced by one-fifth under the premise of ensuring the strength of the skeleton. Taking the horizontal wing as an example, the foreigner technician originally asked for a square shape, but Yan Jiakang proposed that the two ends of the wing should be designed to be round, so that the weight can be reduced first, and the air resistance can be reduced second. Later, after the skillful handwork of Chinese carpenters, the weight of the wing was not only reduced, but also stronger. It can be said that the exquisite skills and whimsy of Chinese carpenters amazed the foreign technicians.

"Mr. Ge, the skin has been completed, just waiting for the test flight!" In front of the hangar, Mateus was dressed in a greasy overalls, looking bright and smiling. "Great, our baby is finally finished, and Mr. Mateus is glad to have suffered!" "Mr. Ge is the most fortunate to do it himself, look at how beautiful our plane is." Walking into the hangar, many craftsmen are putting the finishing touches on it. Yan Jiakang circled around the plane, although the plane was black and ugly, but the overall streamline shape was unique, and it still did not lose a beautiful plane.

"Mr. Ge, as far as I know, this monoplane, with its advanced design concept, is the most advanced in the world. Sir is a genius, you will become the best aircraft designer in the world, and you will be famous all over the world. "Famous all over the world, I'm not far from death!" This official is an official of the Qing Dynasty, if the imperial court knows that I built an airplane privately, my head will fall to the ground, understand? "One day your government will know the importance of airplanes, and by that time your husband will be rich." "I'll lend you good words, but it must be kept secret for now."

Yan Jiayasu's expression became serious and continued: "Mr. Mateus, I repeat, you are here to make money, don't forget the three-year contract, don't forget your promise." "OK, contemptible people will not lose their words. But such a beautiful plane, I want to fly the first flight myself! "No, I need you alive and nothing can happen. Tomorrow my men fly first! ”
