Catherie Avenue in New York is bustling with activity, and in front of a factory, almost all women are lined up to recruit workers. On the side of the building, a very eye-catching sign reads: Ladies, the United States is facing a crisis, please volunteer to join the camp of serving the country, we need women workers! The girls waited in a long queue in an orderly and silent manner. A gentleman in charge of recruitment, holding a tin horn in his hand, was shouting hoarsely.

"Ladies! The work in the arsenal is very hard, you have to work 16 hours a day, and the pay is low, if you have any objections, you can choose to quit, you hear clearly, I repeat. None of the ladies in the queue chose to leave the line, and although their eyes were a little confused, their expressions were determined. In the middle of the procession, a dusty woman in a nun's coat stood out. Apparently the woman had made the long journey and had just arrived in New York to join the recruiting army.

The woman was tall and tall, with her collar standing up and her hair was messy, and her face could not be seen clearly. The woman's name is Lori, she is 20 years old and from Ohio. Lori came to New York first to visit her boyfriend, and the second was to go out for a while. However, after arriving in New York, he was inspired by the patriotic atmosphere here, so he volunteered to join the recruitment army. Lori wants to find a job first and then meet her boyfriend after she stabilizes, her boyfriends, Orwell and Wright, who serve in a U.S. military unit stationed in New York.

In front of a bank, people voluntarily raised donations, and the crowd enthusiastically donated generously, and the dazzling banknotes were constantly sent into the donation box. Outside the crowd stood the Wright and Orwell brothers, who were stimulated by such an exciting scene that they couldn't help but put their hands in their trouser pockets. Wright pulled out two dollars. White pulled out a few cents. Wright snatched a few cents from his brother and donated it along with his own two dollars.

"Wright. You donated all the money, what are we going to eat at noon? "Brother Orwell seems unhappy." If you don't eat a meal, you won't starve to death, it's hard to come out today, and we're shopping happily. "Hungry and shopping, Orwell lost interest. The Wright brothers, from Ohio, were drafted into the military last year. Readers will be familiar with the Wright brothers, who later succeeded in building a biplane and soaring into the skies. It has completed the dream of flying for mankind and created a great era in the space world of early mankind.

And in this time and space, there is a freak in the land of China. Deprived the Wright brothers of their sensational inventions. At present, the Wright brothers are still in the gliding stage, and the Chinese Empire has not only realized the dream of flying, but has also formed a terrifying air strike combat capability. The Wright Brothers' flying dreams are just a personal hobby, and many people scoff at their hobby and are not favored. After all, flying is very dangerous. Names will be buried anytime and anywhere.

The Wright brothers have a strong desire and interest in flying. A few years ago, the brothers began to realize their dream of flying, and after countless experiments by observing the birds flying, they finally broke through the gliding flight, and just when the brothers were ambitious, the Wright brothers received a notice to enlist in the army due to the war. In order not to interrupt the dream of flying, his brother Wright applied repeatedly. The two brothers were not divided into one side, and were assigned to serve in a gun repair shop in New York.

Because the Wright brothers understand mechanics. Naturally, use it only in quantity. When the brothers arrived at the armory, they were even more at ease, and in addition to completing the required work, they devoted almost all their time to making gliders and flying. In addition, Major Jack, the director of the Ordnance Institute, also has a strong interest in flying, and acquiesces in the Wright brothers' misdeeds. Yesterday, the brothers had just finished building a glider that had undergone a number of changes, notably the addition of a movable tail. Today happened to be Sunday, and the brothers decided to take a day off and test fly again and again.

"Wright, what are the women doing in a long line over there?" Orwell questioned. "It's probably the arsenal recruiting workers, what's the mess to see, let's go look elsewhere!" Wright, as a former man, has little interest in the opposite sex, and he is 34 years old and a father of two children. Orwell was not married, and it was the time when male hormones were in full swing. "Wright, the barracks are too boring, it's exciting to see so many girls together."

Orwell walked away, and Wright had to follow. As he approached, Orwell observed and noticed that a girl in the line looked like Lori. Excited, he said: "Wright, that girl can't be Lori!" "The body is very similar but it can't be Lori, what is she doing in New York?" Wright shook his head in denial. "Lori! Lori! Orwell shouted loudly, regardless of it. Lori heard someone shouting her name, and hurriedly raised her head, brushing her messy hair, and saw clearly that it was the Wright brothers.

"Orwell!" Lori was overjoyed and hurriedly ran out of the queue, and Orwell also rushed up and the two forgot to be together. After making out, Orwell was pleasantly surprised: "Lori, why did you come to New York!" "I'm here to see you, and to see the world. Originally, I wanted to go to the barracks to find you, but when I saw the arsenal recruiting, I planned to find a job and settle down before I went to see you. "Great, my heart and soul can be together again," Orwell said and took Lori into his arms.

A pair of lovers got carried away and left Wright aside, but Wright was not jealous, but stood aside with a smile and watched. Presumably, Lori realized her faux pas and broke free from Orwell's embrace. "Hello Wright!" "Hello Lori!" Both sides hugged gently. Lori took out a letter from her pocket and said: "Wright, this is a letter that Jenny (Wright's wife) entrusted me to bring to you, you can rest assured that everything is fine at home!" ”

Wright put away the letter and said: "The work in the arsenal is very hard, the salesman in the commissary of our ordnance institute has given birth, and it happens to be vacant, are you willing to be a salesperson?" "Of course I do, thank you!" Lori happily hugged Orwell again. Soon Lori looked up at the sky and said, "It's lunchtime, let's go eat!" Wright was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and Orwell apologized: "I'm sorry, we donated all the dollars on us just now, and now we are penniless!" ”

"Let's go, I'll have a treat, and remember that you owe me a meal!" The three of them finished their lunch beautifully, played around the street in the afternoon, and returned to the barracks outside the city at dusk. Wright reports the situation to Major Jack, and Lori becomes a salesperson at the commissary. The barracks are located on the north side of New York City, about 3 kilometers from the coastline. This stretch of coastline is a cliff, the upper part of which is about 40 meters above sea level, and the conditions are perfect for the Wright brothers' flight test.

Flying from the shore to the sea increases the safety factor and greatly reduces the danger, and even if the flight fails, it will fall into the sea, which is incomparable with the test flight on land. With the increased safety factor, the Wright brothers were able to boldly modify the glider. Early in the morning, the Wright brothers drove their wagons and headed to the beach with the volunteer assistance of Major Jack and the fans in the armory. Orwell did not inform Lori because Orwell was a test pilot, and both sides would be nervous if Lori was present.

A few hours later, the Wright brothers and their party reached the edge of the coastal cliff, with a runway tens of meters long in the direction of the sea. The Wright brothers and others unloaded the glider from the wagon onto the runway, and then carefully inspected it to see if there were any omissions. After the completion of the preparations, the test flight began. On this day, the sun is shining, the wind is beautiful, and the wind speed is about level 3, which is a good weather for gliding flight. As the temperature began to rise, Orwell was dressed neatly, and because it was cold at high altitude, he wore a flight cap and goggles and wore a padded jacket and pants.

Wright saw Orwell sitting in the cockpit and said: "Pay attention to the changes in airflow, use the tail flexibly, this time the main thing is to test the glider's gliding performance after modification, and to test the movable tail." In the past, I landed in the sea, but this time I tried to land if I could fly back and land on land. Orwell nodded and waved his arm, Wright shouted, and everyone pushed the glider, which began to slide towards the sea.

The glider broke away from the cliff, quickly lowered its altitude in the air and plunged diagonally into the sea. Everyone held their breath, and the wooden boat that was rescued in the sea began to slide. There was no danger, Orwell skilfully piloted, and the glider raised its nose about 10 meters from sea level, and then raised it like a roc spreading its wings. The crowd often breathed a sigh of relief. "Wright, congratulations, the flight was smooth!" Major Jack was a little excited. Wright's expression was solemn, and he knew that landing for a while was the most dangerous.

About 10 minutes later, Orwell began to land on land as planned, and due to the currents, the glider was somewhat unstable in aligning with the runway to reduce altitude. Orwell tried his best, but the glider still deviated from the runway, and due to the uneven ground, the glider jumped several times after landing, and one wing hit the ground and broke. The glider rolled on the ground and stopped. Everyone immediately ran over and dragged Orwell out of the cab. Upon examination, Orwell was not injured. “

Orwell didn't care about his state and said excitedly: "Wright, we succeeded, the glider in the sky has a good flight attitude, the movable tail can control the attitude of climbing, turning, descending, etc., and it is very sensitive, and it encountered unstable air flow during descent, resulting in deviation from the runway." Wheath nodded: "It would be nice if the glider could be artificially controlled and get rid of the interference of the air current, it seems that the gliding flight must build a large field in order to effectively solve the landing problem." ”

Seeing Wright's frown, Major Jack suggested, "I heard that Detroit has started to produce cars and trucks, if we put an engine on the glider, would it be effective?" A word woke up the dreamer, and Wright came up and hugged Jack: "Major Jack, you are too great." Putting an engine on it would definitely do, so that the glider could run like a car on the runway and generate lift under the action of the air current. In the air, it can resist air flow interference, which also solves the problem of landing off the runway. ”

Wright was keenly aware that if he installed an engine, many of the problems that puzzled him would be solved. "Major Jack, allow me to go to Detroit immediately." Jack said: "The flying dream is of epoch-making significance, and you can't pay out of your own pocket, so I decided to provide you with a special fund." That day, Wright took the train to Detroit without stopping. (To be continued......)

PS: The Americans' dream of flying has been mentioned for 4 years, but the opponent is one step ahead.
