Chapter 40: The Dream of Flying (Part II)

Flying to the sky is always the eternal dream of human beings, and above the stars, is it a god and Buddha in the sky, or a desolate place? What does the sun look like when it rises in the east and sets in the west? On the cold and pale moon, is it really like the palace of the vast cold in the legend?

Human beings are no less curious about the vast starry sky than they are about exploring all things.

The earliest explorer of the sky was not a Soviet aircraft or the American imperialist Apollo, but an ordinary official in China in the 14th century: Wan Hu. (In fact, Wanhu was the official name at that time, not his own name).

He created a flying machine that was unprecedented in history, and it was also a flying machine that no one came after; Ready for a chair, he strapped under it forty-seven of the largest rockets that could be bought at that time. He tied himself to a chair and held a large kite in each hand. Then he told his servants to light forty-seven rockets at the same time, hoping to use the power of the rockets to propel forward, plus the power of the kite to rise, to fly into the sky.

This kind of behavior is not a stupid move in front of modern people, maybe some people will laugh at him, maybe some people will scold him, but this qiē is no longer important, as the gunpowder ignited to the end, in a loud bang, Wan Hu, became the first person in the history of the world's aerospace to sacrifice his life for the sky.

&nbs:3w.; Later generations always have a happy attitude towards this kind of thing, and may laugh and shake their heads and scold stupidity, but no one sees how admirable this spirit of exploration with a strong desire for the sky is.

When Soviet cosmonauts visited the China Science and Technology Museum in Beijing, they were in awe when they saw the sculpture model of Wan Hu sitting on a rocket chair. Salute to the statue of ten thousand households. Called Wanhu their pioneer. It shows that the pioneers of scientific exploration are the true heroes of mankind.

But in contrast to the world's respect and praise for all households. Of course, this is also the leading idea of "emphasizing business and ignoring technology, emphasizing business and business" for thousands of years, and naturally it will not be regarded as a "major event", and Wanhu's deeds will be quietly hidden in the long river of history, and no one will remember him anymore

After listening to Xu Yang's story of ten thousand households, the five little princes all widened their eyes, and the eldest of them, Li Chengqian, paused for a while before saying: "This Guigu senior brother that Master Xu said is really a reckless person, and he actually spared his life for the ideals in his heart. Lone thought that the entire Datang people would remember him, and no one would forget that he had such a feat. ā€

Several other princes also nodded, and Li Tai said even more anxiously: "Why did Master Xu say that we would forget him?" Ten thousand families are so sacrificing their lives for righteousness, I would like to build yƬ father and emperor to set up a monument for him to show future generations. ā€

Xu Yang was a little embarrassed, and just remembered the story of Wanhu, so he casually said it, but he settled Wanhu in the Ming Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, and changed his identity to a disciple of the outer sect of Guigu, which can be regarded as a junior disciple of himself.

"Huh. If you have a heart, it's good. Xu Yang scratched his head and said, "Now is not the time to care about my Senior Brother Wan, hurry up and look at the flying man on the cliff." Wait a minute, it's about to jump. Xu Yang's move to divert attention really worked, and several little princes were immediately attracted by the trembling warrior on the cliff

If you want to say that the academy held this test flight activity, it is because of the question raised by Xu Yang a few days ago, which has attracted the curiosity of many people, that is, how big a kite can carry a person.

As soon as this question was introduced, it was liked by the majority of academy flying enthusiasts, and even some senior students secretly began to explain their own practical questions.

For safety reasons, Xu Yang finally decided that in order to prevent students from using immature gliders to carry out real activities without permission, Nanshan Academy was going to hold a manned kite real yĆ n in person.

The five princes also heard the news and hurried to the mountain behind the academy, so they had the opportunity to meet Xu Yang and the five princes to tell stories

It is said to be a kite, but in fact this is a paraglider, this thing is much better than a glider in terms of craftsmanship and safety, so Xu Yang also gives priority to using this thing to make a reality, and it is also good to observe and observe the reaction of the Tang people to such a thing as flying.

The warrior on the top of the hill was a guard of the academy, and Xu Yang told him that he would jump off the cliff without any damage if he put on a paraglider, and that he and his family would receive a huge reward once the attempt was over, regardless of success or failure.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, plus this guard has always admired and respected Guiguzi very much, and also believed in Xu Yang's words, so he became the protagonist of this experiment.

Looking at the man on the mountain with a somewhat pale face, the corners of Xu Yang's mouth turned up slightly, sure enough, human beings are born with a fear of heights, let alone jumping from a height, which is a greater challenge to his heart. The man lingered on the cliff for a long time, even if he was hundreds of meters away, you could still see the hesitation and fear in his heart.

"Why is this guy so ink, he doesn't jump yet, he deserves to fall to his death in a while." Li Su, a heartless child, was in a hurry, and said with a complaint.

Xu Yang raised his eyebrows, and said in a stern tone: "Don't talk about others, let you jump now, do you dare?" ā€

Li Su has always been a lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, relying on his father is Li Er, he did a lot of bad things when he was named the king of the county before, and the young man's temper is big, and he said: "I dare, why don't you dare." ā€

"Okay." Xu Yang didn't laugh angrily, and said sharply: "Prepare to take a step, take me and Prince Li Su up the mountain, prepare a set of paragliders, and let him jump." ā€

Li Su was stunned at this moment, he used to spread wild in various places and trample on fertile fields, which of the officials didn't look at his father as Li Er to give him face, and they didn't dare to offend him, but why is this Guiguzi different from them!

"I don't want to jump now" I have to say that Li Su is still very slippery, and the shape is not right, so he immediately changed his words.

Xu Yang didn't seem to hear it, and said to the green robe who was taking care of the five princes on the side: "Young people don't cherish the lives of others, and the way of Guigu is also bad, I want to teach Prince Li Su a lesson, what do you think, father-in-law?" ā€

The father-in-law in the green robe was adhering to the principle that more things are better than less, and said with a flattering face: "Prince Li Su is young and ignorant, Guigu please raise your noble hand, forget about this matter." ā€

Xu Yang shook his head: "When you were young, you were ignorant, and when you grow up, you will be even more ignorant, you go to the palace to enlighten Your Majesty, and say that Prince Li Yu was selected as a parachute candidate, and he must go up the mountain in person." After that, he paused, pointed at Li Su and ordered left and right: "Tie up Prince Li Su for me!" Escort up the mountain! (To be continued......)
