Peng is about to try to enter the stratosphere.

The news spread.

Originally, the people who saw that the test flight had ended and were about to leave stopped.

I can't help but wonder: "What is the stratosphere?" ”

Some say it's another world.

Some say it's a forbidden area in this world.

Some people also say that it is the place where the Heavenly Palace is located.

It is both dangerous and beautiful.

The most excited is Liu Jinghong and others, who have long fantasized about entering the stratosphere, but Li Zhen once described many stratospheric dangers and insurmountable conditions in the book, all of which made everyone give up their yearning for that place. In order to be stable, they can only fly at an altitude of about 3,000 meters.

This does not satisfy those who pursue aviation.

And today, Li Zhen personally spoke, wanting to let Peng Shi enter the stratosphere. This is full of surprise, curiosity, and tension for everyone.

Can Peng Shi do it?

Li Zhen said yes, as long as the sealing conditions are good, it can be done.

It is only necessary to fly at an altitude of ten kilometers, there is no need to go higher.

In fact, the most dangerous thing in the stratosphere is not pressure, nor hypoxia, but disorientation.

In the stratosphere, you will no longer be able to distinguish the mountains and rivers of the earth, and all you can see is the small earth. The pilot's experience of visual recognition will be a complete joke.

At this point, you will need to use a compass.

And Shin Kyushu doesn't have a compass for the time being, but there is a compass. The compass can only tell a rough range.

Li Zhen said that there is one thing missing, but what is missing is actually two, the same is to determine the latitude and longitude of this world. On the other hand, it is a gyroscope that is more advanced than the compass and compass.

But for the gyroscopic directorator, Li Zhen also knows a little about it. It's a pity that Zhang Zhi studied science and has less involvement in aviation. The specific principle of the gyroscope is also half-understood.

Li Zhen can only think that in the future, he will first develop a navigation compass, and then determine the latitude and longitude of this world, and after determining these things, the dream of flying in the stratosphere can be realized.

Stratospheric flights had not been attempted before, not because of the aircraft itself. The most important reason is actually that the stratosphere can't see the earth clearly, Li Zhen is afraid that the pilot will lose his way in the air, the plane will be thousands of miles away, and when you want to land to find the direction, you don't know where to fly.

Li Zhen is reluctant to let others take these risks. But today's madness of Gao Zhihang reminded Li Zhen of the dream in his heart. It's like a raging fire, try it.

"Master Li, we re-applied the rubber strip to the Peng-style fuselage, and the sealing attempt is already very good."

"Master Li, the oxygen equipment has also entered the Peng type. The test is correct. ”

“……”

Li Zhen looked at Gao Zhihang, but saw that Gao Zhihang's face was red with excitement at this time, and his neck was thick, and he was constantly doing warm-up exercises. If nothing else, he will be the first pilot in the world to enter the stratosphere. Great glory and pursuit.

"Gao Zhihang, if you don't have a problem, then you can start. Don't forget to bring a photo camera. ”

"I'm fine, Master Li, anytime."

Gao Zhihang hurriedly said, for fear that the night would be long and dreamy.

Li was really about to speak, and at this moment, a voice came: "Dean Li, I want to walk with Captain Gao." ”

Everyone looked sideways and turned their heads to look. But I saw a rickety old man walking out of the crowd. Everyone is no stranger to this person, it is Xun Jiayuan, the former son of the Kyushu Imperial Court.

Jiang Tianqi raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Old Man Xun." ”

Xun Jiayuan said hello casually, and looked at Li Zhen expectantly: "Dean Li, I want to enter the Peng style and go to the stratosphere to have a look." ”

"This ......"

Before Li Zhen could speak, Liu Jinghong interrupted: "Master Li." I also want to go to the stratosphere. ”

Li Zhen was embarrassed, and seeing that more people were eager to try, he said, "That place is very dangerous. ”

"It's fine."

"Don't worry, we're all carrying parachutes and oxygen cylinders, ready with both hands."

"Master Li, you just said that at an altitude of ten kilometers, the atmospheric pressure is not so terrible, so what are we worried about?"

“……”

Li Zhen hesitated for a long time and said, "Old Man Xun can go." Forget the rest. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people looked disappointed, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Gao Zhihang smiled at Xun Jiayuan: "Hello, hello, I'm happy to walk with you, I'll tell you about the precautions for flying." ”

Xun Jiayuan waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: "Don't tell me, I know better than you." ”

Gao Zhihang rubbed his hands awkwardly, his face full of disdain.

Someone walked up to Gao Zhihang and whispered, "Do you know who he is?" ”

"Who?"

"Xun Jiayuan."

"The former Son of Heaven?"

"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that he designed the Pengshi."

Gao Zhihang gasped: "He designed it? ’

I murmured in my heart, no wonder he was so proud, no wonder he knew better than me. No wonder......

'Hum-'

The plane ignited again, Xun Jiayuan and Gao Zhihang put on sealed clothes, carried oxygen cylinders and parachutes, and walked into the cabin fully armed. Everyone held their breath.

Li Zhen stood up and shouted, "Take off." ”

"Take off!"

"Take off!"

“……”

In the cockpit, Gao Zhihang rubbed his hands: "Old man, please help me hold the compass." ”

Xun Jiayuan nodded: "Fly with confidence, I'll lead the way for you." ”

"That took off."

As he spoke, Gao Zhihang skillfully completed the take-off steps, and Peng Shi immediately rushed towards the end of the airport.

'Hum-'

In twenty seconds, Peng Shi jumped up and went into the blue sky.

All the way up.

Eight hundred meters

One kilometer

Two kilometers

Three thousand meters

5,000 meters!

Hiss –

On the ground, everyone gasped and couldn't help but sweat as they watched the plane disappear into the sky like a black spot. Five thousand meters in the air, no one has ever been there.

Li Zhen also became nervous, the highest flight altitude in New Kyushu is the limit of four thousand meters, and five thousand meters has never been tried. Now, they're five thousand meters. It is heading for 10,000 meters.

I don't know if it will work.

In the cockpit, Xun Jiayuan and Gao Zhihang were even more nervous, looking out the window, the clouds were thick, and they basically couldn't see anything.

Xun Jiayuan exclaimed: "This is the blue sky, we are in the clouds." ”

Gao Zhihang looked down, but he couldn't see anything: "We are in the clouds, this should be the cloud and rain layer." Li Shi's book says that the stratosphere is penetrated through this layer of clouds. ”

"Let's climb."

"Good!"

6,000 meters!

Eight thousand meters!

Nine thousand meters!

Suddenly, a ray of light pierced the two of them and they couldn't open their eyes, as if they were irradiated by a strong light.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Gao Zhihang exclaimed: "Oh my God! ”

Xun Jiayuan also opened his eyes and couldn't help but be stupid.

The plane passed through the clouds. At five o'clock in the afternoon, it is the afterglow of the sun.

As far as the eye can see, the whole sky is clear, and there are no clouds above. Beneath your feet is a 'continent' of fiery red clouds, as soft as marshmallows.

"It seems to be the ...... of the Heavenly Palace"

There was a murmur, and at this moment, the sound seemed to be still.

In the empty sky, Peng-style flew quietly, without wind, clouds, or earth.

With clouds several kilometers thick at their feet, they seemed to have come to another world.

Xun Jiayuan trembled with excitement, and tears flowed out.

Gao Zhihang also kept taking a deep breath, tears rolling in his eyes.

They were cried by beauty.

No exaggeration.

There is no such beauty in the world.

Xun Jiayuan looked down, looked ahead, and muttered: "Come to a higher place, just to see the scenery that others can't see." Beneath my feet is the earth that gave birth to me, and I have broken out of the cage. There are no regrets in this life. ”

10,000 meters in the air.

There are unusual landscapes there.
