Chapter 54: Paragliding

"Brother Zhang, you will disturb us when you come in like a cat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info You think, we're sleeping in the house, and when I wake up, there's a big man standing in front of the bed, which will scare people to death. ”

"Yes, yes, the little ones will be careful when they come in the future."

Gong Nian Huai glanced at Zhang Yan, "Brother Zhang, are you more careful not to let others find out, or are you careful not to let others be afraid?" Hehe, Brother Zhang, get Niuniu's yellow, yellow and black dog. ”

"The little one understands," Zhang Yan responded in a low voice, raising his hand and pointing to the room, "Childe, Meng Gongzi is still sleeping." ”

Gong Yi Nianhuai stretched his waist and twisted from side to side, "Hmm." Brother Meng had just returned to the house, and it seemed that he would be coming out soon. Brother Zhang, are you resting or are you done when you come back? ”

"That's it. Two planes, huge. Hehe, Gongzi loses, can you give me one? ”

"Nope." Gong Yi Nianhuai shook his head, "Brother Zhang, it's not that the younger brother is reluctant, but that thing must be practiced well, otherwise it will be very dangerous." Brother Zhang, please think about it, what will happen if you fall from the three-mile high sky? ”

"Shh---, it's going to break into a meatloaf, oh, the stuffless kind." When Zhang Yan heard this, he was a little scared, but when he looked at his eyes, he didn't mean to retreat at all, and he was eager to try.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, don't worry, after the search is over, the younger brother will teach you. What is it like to soar freely in the sky like a bird, hehe, Brother Zhang, don't worry. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yan's words were about to flow down, Gong Yi Nianhuai added some temptations.

"Hey, the little brother is also one, Nian Huai, I can't be reluctant." Meng Zhijing came out of the house, and asked for the price of Nian Huai to the Gong as he walked.

"Brother Zhang, where is it? Let's take a look. Meng Zhijing looked up at the sky, "Nian Huai, it's still early before dawn, can you try?" ”

"Let's take a look first, there is still time to change if there are changes. Brother Zhang, there is someone to take care of here. Okay, let's go. Gong Nian Huai hurriedly washed his face, thought about it, ran back to the house, and took the backpack out.

If you are not in a good position, the backpack is your own relic and cannot be left to anyone.

The three walked out of the courtyard gate, and Zhang Yan led the two towards the east of the village.

"Brother Zhang, why are you going east?"

"There is a threshing floor in the east of the village, and there are several warehouses where kites are sewn. The Lord is also seated there. ”

"The Lord is also there, and he has not rested?" Gong Nian Huai was a little surprised, and faintly felt that Li Liang's disappearance was not simple.

"Nianhuai will slowly understand my father, he is like this."

"Oh."

Soon out of the village, I saw a light flickering in front of me, and the scattered light outlined an outline.

Sitting in a courtyard facing north and south, but the east and west sides of the courtyard are not courtyard walls but houses, leaving only the south opening.

From a distance, the yard is very large, and there are many houses on three sides. When I got closer, I found that the whole yard was large enough to fit half the village, and there were several tall hay stacks in it.

There are rooms in the main room and the side room with lights on, and the shadows are more than enough and the figures are shaking.

Walking into the yard, it was like entering a football field, and Gong Nianhuai looked curiously. A courtyard like this, with a strong agricultural atmosphere, has long become the dirt in the deepest corner of memory.

The earliest memory of Gong Nian Huai began from such a courtyard.

Before the production was carried out on a case-by-case basis, each village was divided into several production teams, each of which had one such compound. It is not only a place where the means of production of the production team are stacked in a centralized manner, but also a threshing ground for grain harvesting and drying.

"Nianhuai, you're here." Fang Qiong's voice came from the crowd.

"Oh, Uncle Fang, you're here too."

Gong Nian Huai saw that in the northwest corner of the yard, a group of people were gathered together, fiddling with something, no need to ask, it must be studying the big kite of Gong Nian Huai.

Not a kite, of course, but an improvised paraglider.

Why is it easy?

The paraglider of later generations consisted of a canopy, a harness, a paracord, a control, and a parachute. The secondary parachute is used to escape when the main parachute is folded or damaged.

I can't make a parachute yet, so I have to abandon it.

Then there is the harness and control, which cannot be made in a short period of time. In order to be in a hurry, Gong lost Nianhuai only kept the most important part of the paraglider.

In this case, if the main wing is folded or damaged, the safety of the umbrella operator is at stake.

Have you ever played it, of course you have played, the descendants of the Gongyi clan, all the technical things, if you don't like it when you see the hunt, then the Gongyi clan will not be inherited for thousands of years.

The late appearance of paragliding does not mean that it is highly technical. On the contrary, paragliding is very low-tech. Even in the Xia, Shang and Zhou eras, it could be made with the right fabric. Because it doesn't require special materials and no high-tech technology.

This is the simplest type of flying machine.

The paraglider designed by Gong Nian Huai is composed of two layers, about 10 centimeters apart. The total length of the umbrella surface is four meters, the width is one meter five, and it consists of twenty wing ribs. There is an air inlet in front of the ribs, and a rope is tied at each end, that is, the paracord.

When the air enters the ribs, the upper and lower layers are filled with air, and the surface of the paraglider becomes wing-shaped, and the paraglider flies.

Hearing Fang Qiong's greeting, the people in a circle looked at the three of them, but no one knew each other.

"Meng Gongzi is here,"

"I've seen Meng Gongzi."

"Oh, Uncle Xing, Uncle Yang, you're all here," Meng Zhijing greeted these people with a smile, and it seemed that they were all acquaintances.

"Meng Gongzi, this is the first time I have seen such a kite, it can take people to the sky?"

"Uncle Xing, whether you can go to heaven or not, you will know in a moment. If your craftsmanship does not meet my brother's requirements, it will ruin my brother's reputation. ”

"Meng Gongzi, you Uncle Xing's craftsmanship can't be trusted, come, look at this stitch, this cutting thread," the middle-aged man called Uncle Xing pulled up the paraglider and came to Meng Zhijing's eyes, blushing his neck, shaking his umbrella clothes to Meng Zhijing.

"Uncle Xing, don't let me see it, I don't understand, this is the first thing to do." As he spoke, Meng Zhijing pulled Gong Nian Huai out from behind him and pushed him in front of the tailors.

"See, this is my brother, the son of the Gongyi, the descendant of the Gongyi master, this kite is designed by him." Meng Zhijing is like showing off a fun toy, showing off the public loss of Nian Huai.

"I'm going to work with you, masters." Gong Yi Nianhuai made a circle, and the tailors returned the salute in a panic, saying that they didn't dare. Eyes are complex.

"Nian Huai, come and see, if there is anything wrong, let them change it. Whose craftsmanship is it, Fang can remember. Fang Qiong pulled Gong Nian Huai, his eyes swept over the surrounding tailors, and his tone was not good.

"Steward Fang, this male loser doesn't understand us, you still don't know? We are all here, just watch the princess, if there is a problem with our craft, we will be punished at will, and if the master is not still there, we will follow military law. The tailor surnamed Yang said with a smile, and also poked the tailor next to him and asked them to say a few words.

"Steward Fang,"

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, it's not on the lips. The public loser will be measured. Fang Qiong waved her hand and shouted to Zhang Yan again, "Go, please come over." ”

Gong Nian Huai picked up the umbrella and came to his eyes to take a closer look, and someone handed the wind lantern to his eyes.

Not to mention, the craftsmanship of these big men is really not covered. The cut is exquisite, and the stitches are fine, no less than the sewing machines of later generations. Forty-four ropes, firmly tied to the ribs of the umbrella, with two iron rings tied at the other end.

"I've seen the general."

"The Lord is coming."

There was a lot of turmoil, and you didn't need to look at it to know that Meng Hui was coming.

"Nianhuai, how's that?" Meng Hui separated the crowd, walked up to Gong Nian Huai, and asked.

"Very good, even better than the little nephew imagined."

"Hehe, thank you for speaking fairly." Obediently, someone was a little dissatisfied with Fang Qiong's intimidation just now.

"Don't carry guns and sticks, if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have faults, you will be punished, there is nothing to say. I can tell you, this big kite is going to carry people to the sky, and if something happens, it means that human life is at stake, human life, you know. Hum. Fang Qiong did not show weakness and did not let in the slightest.

As soon as they heard that their lives were at stake, the crowd fell silent, and only the sound of hissing breathing remained.

"General, Uncle Fang, little nephew can give it a try."

"How do you try?" Meng Heng asked.

"Find someone to pick it up against the wind."

"It's as simple as that? Come on, find a few bamboo poles. ”

Soon someone found a bamboo pole and provoked a paraglider.

Gong Yi Nianhuai holds an iron ring in each hand. At this time, the night breeze is light, and the umbrella surface quickly bulges. Gong Nian Huai rushed to the wind, and everyone followed closely.

The upper and lower layers of the umbrella are filled with air, in the shape of wings that curve up and down flat, and after running out a few steps, Gong Nian Huai's hands sank, his feet left the ground, and his body rose into the air.

Everyone exclaimed, Zhang Yan and Meng Zhijing ran forward quickly, stretched their hands, hesitated, and didn't know whether to step forward and hug Gong Nian Huai, or let Gong Nian Huai take off.

Exclamations rang out in the courtyard, and people began to run out of the lighted houses to see why people were screaming.

When he saw a black thing flying over the yard, someone covered his mouth in surprise, and his footsteps seemed to be fixed on the ground, and he didn't know how to advance or retreat.

Gong Nian Huai grabbed the iron hoop with both hands, and the paraglider rose higher and higher, and he could already overlook the entire courtyard.

The wind is gentle, the paraglider flight is very smooth, and the danger can be ignored for the time being. Gong Yi Nianhuai's courage also increased.

With a gentle pull on the hoop, the paraglider began to turn, gliding over the yard and over the roofs to the west towards the village.

The four fields are black and blue, like the belly of a giant beast, the yard is like a big mouth, and the flashing lights are the best indicators.

If you accidentally hit the top of the tree, the paraglider will be wasted, and you have to climb the tree to come down, which is not in line with the name of the heir of the Gongyi clan.

The rise and fall of the paraglider is controlled by the operator in real time according to the air flow, just follow the wind direction sideways, pull the hoop to the left, the paraglider will turn left, pull the hoop to the right, and the paraglider will turn right.
