Chapter 553: Liu Xiaoyan who flew into the sky
Liu Yun was confused: "Heaven? What day is it? ”
Liu Xiaoyan said excitedly: "Dad, I got the British Level 6 Pilot License, which is the biplane pilot license!" ”
Liu Yun was speechless in surprise. In his opinion, a car driver's license is already difficult to get. Aircraft driver's license... That's something that only professional pilots can get, right?
Liu Yun didn't know that Liu Xiaoyan's all-British sixth-level flight license was the best test among the British flight licenses. Ordinary people can get the exam after three or four months of study. However, this license can only fly biplanes with simple operation.
Liu Yun asked an inexplicable question: "I got this license... What's the use? Do you really want to fly into the sky in a plane? ”
Liu Xiaoyan asked Liu Yun rhetorically: "Dad, if I don't fly to the sky, why should I take this license?" That's right, Dad, I took this license to drive a simple biplane built by all my classmates in our department into the sky. ”
Liu Yun was speechless in surprise at the moment.
After a long time, Liu Yuncai replied: "Your classmates... Manufactured biplanes? It won't fall apart as soon as it goes to the sky! Don't mess around! Give me to stay in school honestly. I'll look for you tomorrow! ”
The next day, Liu Yun came to Imperial College London.
In Liu Xiaoyan's dormitory, Liu Yun asked her: "Tell me carefully, what kind of plane did you build?" ”
In Liu Yun's eyes, building an airplane is an extremely complicated and cumbersome matter. It's high-tech, and it's something that only doctors and postdocs can do. A group of first-year college students can build an airplane? It's a fantasy!
As the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains. The old lieutenant of Manchester United did not know that Imperial College London has always focused on the hands-on ability of students. This is even more true of the college's aeronautical manufacturing program. Imperial College London has a tradition of aeronautical manufacturing. At the end of the first year, all first-year freshmen are required to build a biplane that can take to the skies. Of course, this is guided and checked by more than a dozen professors.
Before the improvised biplane takes to the skies, leading aeronautical scholars at Imperial College take turns inspecting the plane to ensure that there are no accidents.
The students who fly the planes into the sky are naturally the most courageous of all the students.
Liu Xiaoyan led Liu Yun to the mechanical practice laboratory of Imperial College London.
In the lab's hangar, there is a slightly rudimentary-looking biplane. The plane wasn't even painted, half of it was silver-white iron, half of it was wood.
Liu Yun gasped, pointed to the plane and said, "This? Can you fly into the sky?! ”
A voice came from afar: "Yes! Absolutely! ”
It was Liu Xiaoyan's mentor, Sir Fack Ariwan, who spoke.
Lord Fa walked up to Liu Yun: "Hello, old lieutenant. ”
Liu Yun had seen a photo of Lord Fa on his daughter's mobile phone and knew that this was his daughter's mentor.
"Hello, Sir Fa."
Lord Fa stared at the biplane: "Old lieutenant, in fact, every year before the biplane built by the students goes into the sky, parents will question whether it is safe. I repeat to you what I repeat to many parents every year. The plane was rigorously inspected by all the teachers at Imperial College London – and by some of the best and most experienced aeronautical engineers in the whole of the UK. ”
Although Lord Fa explained, Liu Yun was still not at ease.
Lord Fa said to Liu Yun passionately: "Old lieutenant. You should know better than anyone what the word dream means. Your daughter and her classmates' biggest dream is to build a plane that can fly into the blue sky. The aircraft was the result of three months of collective labor by more than 400 students majoring in aviation manufacturing. Carrying the dreams of more than 400 people! The one who can make this dream come true on their behalf is your daughter! ”
Lord Fa's words made Liu Yun speechless for a while.
But Liu Yun still didn't want his daughter to take risks.
It doesn't matter if Liu Yun doesn't agree, Liu Xiaoyan has resorted to a killer weapon - hunger strike!
After his precious eldest daughter went on a hunger strike for 8 hours and 40 minutes - after a hunger strike for lunch, Liu Yun surrendered.
He found Sir Falk Eriwan and repeatedly asked if the biplane was safe.
Lord Fa took out a full three hundred pages of design sketches from the drawer in his office and put them in front of Liu Yun: "Liu, this plane, every screw, every rivet, every piston of the engine, we have carefully inspected it more than ten times!" Absolutely no problem! Your daughter is the best of the first-year freshmen. She was responsible for designing the upper wing of this aircraft! You have to have faith in your daughter, and you have faith in the students of Imperial College! Also, in fact, flying a biplane is not that difficult. The accident rate is even smaller than driving! ”
。。。。。。
Three days later, a makeshift airstrip outside Imperial College.
Hundreds of students, their families and friends gathered on a makeshift viewing platform next to the airstrip.
Among them is the boss and all the superstars of Manchester United. Manchester United's young man, who mainly flew the plane she and her classmates designed and built, sent an invitation to the Red Devils players. The whole Manchester United squad came to Imperial College to cheer her on.
Liu Yun held Isabella's hand tightly. His palms were covered with sweat.
The Fa Lord next to him comforted him: "Liu, don't be nervous. Again, have faith in your daughter! ”
Liu Xiaoyan started the plane. Now the biplane has been painted with livery.
On the belly of the plane, the "pig flying into the sky" created by the children of the Coventry orphanage is depicted.
Liu Yun couldn't help but think of the song that tens of thousands of people sang in Ricoh Stadium at the beginning: "There is a big fat pig named Shute." Standing on the haystack every day, oh, he wants to fly into the sky. Others laughed at him, he just stared at the sky. Until one day, a strong wind blew on the farm. Big fat pig Shute, he was blown up to the sky by the wind. Oh, big fat pig Shute, he embraced the sky! He embraced the sky! ”
The plane starts, accelerates and taxi, and suddenly, the nose of the plane pulls up and flies into the sky.
Since this is only an improvised biplane, the plane flies at a very low altitude, only three hundred meters in height.
The moment the plane went into the sky, everyone on the viewing platform couldn't help but applaud.
Mourinho even jumped up from his seat and cheered loudly, just like the team did when he scored.
The plane flew around the field. After a short 3-minute flight, land and slide to the runway. Finally, Liu Yun's hanging heart was put down. Daughter landed safely!
"Long live the little princess of Manchester United!" Pogba shouted loudly.
Liu Xiaoyan got out of the cockpit and walked to the viewing platform. Liu Yun walked directly down from the viewing platform and hugged his daughter. The scene resounded with thunderous applause.
Liu Yun, a tough guy, had tears in his eyes.
His daughter has taken a solid step towards her dream. What could be more exciting, excited, proud, and proud of Liu Yun as a father?
