"Thank you for saving me." It was the Chinese who came up to make the light bulb and dived.

"I know Wang Wenyuan. Nanyang, now homeless. Wang Wenyuan may have died once, but now his expression is indifferent.

"Hu Xiaoyan!" Hu Xiaoyan stretched out his hand and patted the position beside him.

Wang Wenyuan sat down. "You know what? My wife left me. I don't blame her. It's me who was too naïve. ”

"Tell me about it?" Hu Xiaoyan asked with interest.

"At the beginning of the reform, I went to Beijing with confidence, and my friend and I invented an airplane that could fly in the sky for an hour. After we built it in our hometown in Tianjin, we shipped it to Beijing. I met the gentlemen. But they are not interested. I took the plane to see Li Zhongtang again. Li Zhongtang was very interested, but it was only as a toy. ”

Wang Wenyuan actually left tears as he spoke. "My investment is in vain, and my friends are gone. Finally I invited the people from the Military Aircraft Division to come and see the plane for a last-ditch effort, but they didn't show up at all. A little official came to me and asked me for a bribe of one hundred taels before he was willing to say a good word. ”

"The plane flies in the sky, and the rifle on the ground simply does not reach it. If we could put a Maxine machine gun on an airplane, we could defeat a thousand-man squad with just one plane! But they weren't interested! Think it's just a toy. ”

Wang Wenyuan said as he spoke, holding his head with his hands and crying.

Hu Xiaoyan was speechless. Everyone says that one step ahead is a genius, and two steps ahead is a madman. In the past, although Hu Xiaoyan believed it, he didn't know the seriousness of this kind of thing at all. Now he knows.

Wang Wenyuan is undoubtedly the genius of this era. Before the Wright brothers even took to the skies, he took his plane into the sky with him. When the Wright brothers were still doing air shows and using the plane as an observation post in the air, Wang Wenyuan had already considered installing a machine gun on the plane.

Wang Wenyuan is not a madman, what is it?!

This kind of thinking of his is not ridiculed by people!

Hu Xiaoyan laughed, laughing loudly. Angel looked at Hu Xiaoyan worriedly.

But Wang Wenyuan cried louder.

Crying and laughing, two crazy men suddenly hugged each other and patted each other on the back. One laughs madly, the other cries heartbreakingly.

In the next few days, as long as someone recommended students to join Shanghai Chengxin University to become teachers, Hu Xiaoyan agreed to all of them. Anyway, he has a lot of debts and is not pressed. 10,000 pounds and 100,000 pounds are just data for Hu Xiaoyan.

Hu Xiaoyan found a few childhood playmates, most of whom were second-rate hooligans. Doing nothing in the village all day, Hu Xiaoyan gave each of them a hundred taels of settling-in allowance, and these people immediately became Hu Xiaoyan's employees. Hu Xiaoyan asked Li Chen to train them with the non-commissioned officers and students, and at the same time began to search in the jungle and mountains outside the village.

After returning from the Thames, Hu Xiaoyan seemed to have caught a cold. Therefore, I stayed at home, and the team that went out to search was mainly based on these hooligans, supplemented by non-commissioned officers and students. Jin Yunting and Zhang Yunfeng were a little incomprehensible about this. They and the He brothers and sisters, as well as Luo Ming, were so black that they could be used as ink.

However, Huo Yuanjia and Li Chen took the lead, and they didn't have any way, in these days, they were busy working like little bees every day. When they came back, they were all disgraced.

Angel returned to school again. She only came back for two days a few days ago because her tutor was on vacation, and now that the tutor is back, she has to go back to class.

Hu Xiaoyan now accompanies Wang Wenyuan all day long to design the plane that can take off. After Wang Wenyuan drew the design drawings, Hu Xiaoyan discovered that the airplane invented by Wang Wenyuan was actually just a large hot air balloon. His design borrowed from Leonardo da Vinci's aircraft design. It's just that a small hot air balloon design is added to the middle part.

The plane takes off entirely on the power provided by a small hot air balloon. Similar to Hu Xiaoyan's design, Wang Wenyuan added a bicycle pedaling system to the front of the plane. The aircraft can provide acceleration, forward and backward, as well as steering and so on, through this pedaling system.

This is much more advanced than a hot air balloon. But to say that this is an airplane is inappropriate. Because its lift-off system still relies on hot air balloons.

The plane that Wang Wenyuan made in Beijing was a simple combination of a hot air balloon and a bicycle. So it's no wonder that Li Hongzhang and others are not interested.

Small hot air balloons can only seat one person, which is the position of the bicycle. Everywhere else was taken over by the basket of the hot air balloon. The basket was full of coal.

Such an aircraft with a water-cooled Maxine machine gun is really good, but it also has drawbacks. Because the basket was not large, it could not hold much coal, and the water-cooled machine gun in turn needed bullets and water. In this case, the basket must be large. When the basket is larger, the overall weight of the hot air balloon is heavier.

Therefore, the final height of the hot air balloon is not satisfactory.

But Hu Xiaoyan is very satisfied! Because the Wright brothers of this era did not yet know where and what to do! Although the concept of the aircraft has long been out and has been a sensation, no aircraft can really be more than ten meters away from the air. So this hot air balloon version of the plane can really be the best! It is by far the most advanced aircraft in the world. Because at the moment there is no weapon that can shoot him down.

"So the key to whether the plane can take off is power!" Hu Xiaoyan reminded Wang Wenyuan. "This one of yours is at best an improved version of a hot air balloon. It can't be called an airplane yet. Because your design doesn't even have a place for a heavy machine gun. ”

Hu Xiaoyan patted Wang Wenyuan on the shoulder: "Young man, you still have to work hard!" ”

Wang Wenyuan nodded in frustration. The question of the position of the machine gun is not difficult, he can add another design under the basket. The trigger of the machine gun can be done by manipulating a single line.

The trouble is the powertrain. The steam engines used today are all very heavy, and although they are powerful, their own weight cancels out the power of the steam engine. If you want to fly, it's really impossible.

Leaving Wang Wenyuan, Hu Xiaoyan continued to lie on the roof, thinking about his own thoughts. A few days ago in the Thames, Hu Xiaoyan rescued Wang Wenyuan, and at the same time seemed to have awakened something.

He visibly felt in the river that some part of his brain seemed to be activated. That day, he clearly felt the map in his mind open automatically, and at the same time the map became very large, with a large exclamation mark appearing at a certain location on the map. The map seemed to tell Hu Xiaoyan to go to that place. But Hu Xiaoyan took a closer look and found that the place seemed to be somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic.

Hu Xiaoyan was very curious and hesitant. I don't know what there is there, and I don't know if there's danger. And now he doesn't even have a ship! To go or not to go, that's the question.
