Chapter 30: The Dream of Flying
"Wow~~ Roar!"
After the flying skateboard soared into the sky, Dong Chen shouted excitedly, he was now soaring above the sky, the place that humans had always wanted to conquer.
Ever since insects evolved their wings 300 million years ago, the forces of life have been invading the sky, an eternal realm of clouds and rainbows, winds and thunder, and a place of dreams.
Then, pterodactyls, birds, and bats followed, and as they soared through the sky, did they despise the things that had been crawling on the ground?
For example, those strange apes that are hairless, with erect feet and weak arms.
Since ancient times, humans have wanted to go to that place full of dreams, the sky!
For this dream, our ancestors have been tirelessly striving for it, such as the genius craftsman Davorus in ancient Greek mythology, the ancestor of the craftsman Banlu, Olena da Vinci and so on.
There are also many unknown ancestors who are also silently exploring, but there have been no shocking results.
It wasn't until 1803 that Sir Georgeley Cay, a native of the Eagle Nation, designed the first fixed-wing glider that conformed to modern aeronautical principles.
It was only at this point that the design of the aircraft was finally put on the right track, and Sir Lakay was revered as the father of modern aviation.
It was not until 1903 that the Terlay brothers of the United States completed the first flight of the world's first sustainable, powerful, and maneuverable heavier-than-air aircraft.
In the early days, airplanes were not as safe and comfortable as they are now, piloting was definitely a high-risk industry, and there were not a few people who died because of flying airplanes.
It is precisely because of the efforts and sacrifices of these dreamers that the aviation industry has become what it is today, and is no longer the feathers, brooms, magic carpets and the like of mythical imagination.
Today we can fly higher and faster than any bird, but there is still a little regret that we are sitting in that huge steel creature and conquering the places we dreamed of before, but we have not even felt a trace of wind passing by, how can this make mankind willing.
Therefore, personal aircraft are born by luck, they are small, flexible, full of power, can take people to shuttle freely in the wind, when you use personal aircraft to fly, the sky is all around you, and dreams completely surround you.
The United States developed the first real personal aircraft, the DeLackner DH-4, which was a one-man aircraft experimentally manufactured by the Mi Army in the 50s and 60s of the last century.
Since the end of World War II, the military of the United States has been hoping to create lightweight one-man aircraft to complete a variety of complex military tasks.
The DeLackner DH-4 was developed in such a context, but it was a bit too large compared to the characteristics of a "personal aircraft".
The DeLackner DH-4 has a wingspan of 4.57 meters, a height of 2.13 meters, and an empty weight of 78 kilograms, and due to weight and fuel problems, it does not fly at a very satisfactory altitude and distance.
Later, many models of "personal aircraft" were developed intermittently on the other side of the strait, but they had to be abandoned because of various problems such as large weight, large size, short range, and low flight altitude.
It is not until recent years, with the vigorous development of new material technology and new fuel technology, that the research of personal aircraft has achieved some phased development, and even some individual enthusiasts have participated in the research and development of personal aircraft.
It's just that those that are more successful, and even those that have been said to be sold commercially, are some relatively "large" personal flying vehicles.
After all, the larger the volume, the more fuel will be loaded, and the relative flight time will be longer.
However, it seems to have entered a strange circle, the larger the size, the easier it is to succeed, the farther and higher it will fly, but this means that the more successful it is, the farther away from the concept of a lightweight and compact "personal aircraft".
However, this can't stop people's love for these personal flying machines, after all, these personal flying machines can allow them to fly freely in the sky personally.
In order to fly freely in the sky of dreams, these little shortcomings can be endured.
And now Dong Chen is using the flying skateboard he made to soar between the sky.
It was only three minutes, but it was just the beginning, and he believed that with the techniques he had learned in the Fallout World, he would go further and further down the road and become more and more successful.
"Zi~~ Dong Chen, Dong Chen, your height is too high, pay attention to safety, pay attention to safety."
Listening to Mu Xiaoji's voice coming from the headphones, Dong Chen paid attention to the current altitude, which had already rushed to more than three hundred and sixty meters.
"Okay, no problem!"
Dong Chen looked down and looked down, looking around, from here he could see the whole picture of the entire Shimenzhuang City, looking at everything on the ground that was shrinking, Dong Chen's heart was surging.
The engine of the flying skateboard emits surging power, as long as you are not scared of your legs, in fact, it is quite solid to step on it, press the button to fly the skateboard will change its action steadily and fly in the corresponding direction.
Gradually, Dong Chen was no longer satisfied with this kind of smooth "grandfather-style" flight, so he slowly turned off 10%, 20%, and 30%...... 60% of the flight control system.
The more the flight control system is turned off, the more difficult it is to control, and more and more self-judgment is required to maintain balance, but the relative movements become more and more flexible.
Dong Chen relied on his strong various qualities, from the "slow swallowing" straight up and down at the beginning, to various air maneuver actions such as fast turning, air flipping, thrust reverser and emergency stop and suspension, it only took a short time.
He even did an engine stop and restart experiment, turning off the engine from a height of 500 meters, falling freely to 100 meters, and then restarting the engine and rising into the sky again.
Three minutes is a long time, a short night, and when Dong Chen landed slowly, several people on the ground were already excited!
"Hahaha, how do you feel?"
"Brother Dong! Brother Dong! That's awesome! That's awesome! ”
"Holy! This flying skateboard is invincible! No wonder it's called the Black Phantom, when the black figure flies through the air, it is really full of incredible charm! ”
"Is this running out of fuel? It's really three minutes. ”
"Actually, you can add a secondary fuel tank to this, people carry heavy loads, and it's always no problem for the car to pull, just this point, it's much better than those "large" personal aircraft that can't be pulled by the car! ”
"Yes, yes, you can come out in two versions, single-person and car-owned! One for all, hahaha, you can sell two by yourself! ”
"Come on, let's go back and discuss these again, let's hurry up and test it now! I can't wait! ”
"Uh-huh, that's a good wind! I want to come too! ”
"Hey, line up, come one by one!"
As soon as he refueled, Mu Xiaoji shoved the camera into Dong Chen's hand and stepped on.
"Hey! Slow down! As for the well, we have enough fuel to fly twice for everyone! Don't fall! ”
"It's okay, it's okay, ahahaha, I'm flying, I'm flying!"
Watching Mu Xiaoji flying on a flying skateboard in the "high altitude" of one meter, shouting and shouting "Lao Tzu is the best in the world", Dong Chen felt funny.
"Little Jiji, you're flying so high!"
The crowd also laughed and laughed.
"Yes, yes, Mu Xiaoji, do you dare to fly a little higher?"
As a result, within ten seconds, Mu Xiaoji landed.
"! My legs are so weak! What a embarrassment! ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then burst into laughter!
It's funny!
Robbed so fiercely, the original coward!
