After the exhibition is over, the sky has gradually darkened, in fact, it is almost six o'clock at this time, but it is darker than other times during daylight saving time, and at six o'clock, the sun sets, but the sky is still bright, but it is not as bright as before.

"Wait ......a minute," Lynch was just about to leave with the crowd, but instead of leaving with him, Mr. Trueman said, "If you get bored, you can go outside first, and I want some of them to talk." ”

Although today's non-hot air balloon exhibits have largely ended in failure, the president said that the development of fixed-wing aircraft has made significant progress compared to before, and it is foreseeable that if these people receive more resources and financial assistance, they should soon be able to come up with a suitable aircraft for use.

It may not be able to carry much of anything, but at least it meets the needs of the military at the moment - to fly on the surface of the sea and detect the killers hiding beneath the surface.

As for the inventor who is known as the "flightless egg", he was also invited, in fact, he is one of the reasons why Mr. Trueman came to the exhibition today.

In the eyes of Mr. Trueman and the Navy, this kind of aircraft, which can take off and land vertically without a runway, is too suitable for the current needs of national defense, it does not need to occupy a large area to take off and land, and it is more flexible than a hot air balloon.

Although today's test flight failed, Mr. Trueman and the Department of Defense still believe that with enough funding, they can make this design a reality.

So what Mr. Trueman and the Ministry of Defense commissioner mean is that they can be given a grant to speed up their research, but there are some conditions.

Lynch shook his head, said "It's okay", he didn't leave, he stood beside Mr. Trueman, and after a while, two inventors appeared in front of them.

"I've watched your performances in their entirety and I'm honestly disappointed, it's not a joke, every flying machine needs our good lads to fly. ”

"I can accept that they died on the front line in the military confrontation with the enemy, and it is the highest honor of soldiers to sacrifice their lives for the country, but I will not allow them to sacrifice on the stupidity of their own people!"

The commissioner of the Ministry of Defense was also staring at these two people, everyone was looking at them, and this put a lot of pressure on them, and the inventor who invented the spiral took off his eyes? He also said "I'm sorry".

"No need to apologize!"? Mr. Trueman has a temperament, "All you need to do is make your invention better......"? Can you see that both inventors want to say something? But Mr. Trueman didn't give them a chance.

He raised his hand to stop the two, "Although you have failed? But I see progress in you, so after consulting with Mr. Commissioner? It has been decided to give you a portion of your military expenses for further modification of your existing designs. ”

Say this sentence? The two already desperate inventors were stunned, and it took them a moment to react, and they looked at Mr. Trueman with saliva and a cautious and greedy glint in their eyes? One of them asked? "Yes...... How much?"

"200,000 yuan in the early stage of each person, if any of you have a breakthrough first, we will add a second allocation of no less than 300,000, but there is only one chance, we only need one kind of flying machine at present. ”

"As for the specific terms? Mr. Commissioner, I'll talk to you!"

Mr. Trueman looked at the two men with a watchful eye, "Remember? Your invention concerns young people who are willing to fight for their country, and I don't want them to lose their lives because of the loopholes you have designed before they have seen their enemies. ”

"And if you really did that? I'll take you to a court-martial, to stand trial!"? He stretched out his hand after he finished speaking? Don't let these two refuse? "Goodbye, then, gentlemen!"

After saying goodbye to the two men, walking out of the grandstand area, Lynch recalled that the helicopter consoles he had seen were far more complex than what he saw today, and he did not think that under the current technology, helicopters could be researched as a weapon of mass destruction in inland warfare.

But Mr. Trueman is not an emotional person, nor is he easily persuaded or even deceived, and he can't help but ask, "I'm curious, how did the inventor of the propeller convince you that the one who can take off and land on the spot?"

The two had just walked out of the aircraft exhibition area, and Mr. Trueman did not explain in words, he found the stalls selling various aircraft model toys on the edge of the exhibition area, and after paying ten yuan, he got a handmade wooden fixed-wing aircraft.

He pulled the propeller off with all his might, then pressed the small stick used to hold the propeller together with both hands and rubbed it hard......

The propeller flew into the sky in an instant, so fast, so steady, Mr. Trueman looked at Lynch, "That's how he convinced me, I asked some physicists, and they think that as long as there is enough force, it is completely achievable to take off and land on the spot." ”

Lynch didn't expect a "bamboo dragonfly" to convince Trueman and the military to be willing to allocate funds for such a thing that there was no shadow behind such a bamboo dragonfly, but this also shows why the frenzy of federal national invention can continue to burn at this time.

He couldn't help but think of the advertisements posted all over the street before, "Eridai, a trace of a cow!"

Perhaps it is the investors who are easily deceived that the entire market for invention and creation is so hot, Lynch shook his head with a smile, and did not continue to ask on this topic, but went to the next booth planned with Mr. Trueman - speargun.

Spearguns are more commonly used by fishermen on the seaside, and some lazy people also like to use them.

Rather than the slower pace of fishing, some people prefer to cast bait in a place where schools of fish gather, then hold a speargun and wait for the opportunity to pull the trigger and catch a big fish.

It's much more enjoyable and time-saving than fishing.

The speargun they were about to see, or the arrow that the speargun fired, was what Mr. Trueman was concerned about.

This time, not only people from the military, but also representatives of U.S. Industries and several other military-industrial enterprises were present on the scene, and they would make a comprehensive assessment and then make a decision.

This inventor is obviously different from the previous ones, he has already enjoyed the dividends of the times of invention and creation, he has received more than one check from the Ministry of Defense or the military industry, and even one of the torpedoes currently provided by U.P. Industries for the Navy is also from this inventor.

This is a typical representative of successful people, success allows him to have more funds to complete his ideas, he can earn a lot of money without work, and he can also satisfy his hobbies, which is why many people invest in this industry.

If nothing happens, he may gradually go bankrupt after his inspiration runs out, he just sells his ideas, and cannot run his own business, which is the saddest thing about this kind of folk inventors, who do not even have the power to kneel in front of capital.

The inventor of the speargun is displaying his invention in front of a huge glass tank, and the exhibition is like this, round after round of people, except for the "one-off" exhibition of flying machines, everything else will be displayed repeatedly.

The inventor was a very thin, but bearded man, and he wore a high-waisted rubber bib trousers, which the farmers and fishermen of the South liked to wear because it was waterproof.

But wearing it in the summer is a very sinful thing, because even if it protects against the outside water, the water inside will make them sweaty.

Wiping his sweat, he demonstrated his newly invented speargun.

“...... See, guys, it's going to be a quick process, and not everyone can notice, so I took some special photos in a special way......"

“...... When our arrow is launched, the air bullet in the shaft of the arrow will eject and burst, so that compressed air can be sprayed out of the air hole at the front of the arrow, creating some bubbles before the arrow enters the water. ”

"This will significantly increase the muzzle velocity of the arrow into the water......"

Mr. Trueman, the people of the Ministry of Defense and the representatives of various military industries saw it vigorously, but Lynch couldn't understand it, but from their serious and focused faces, it could be roughly seen that this should be a very important invention.

Lynch wasn't too interested in this, and he said hello to Mr. Trueman and walked around on his own.

He didn't know that he thought that radio technology should be very sophisticated in this era, but he found that he was mistaken.

Radio technology has passed its initial mystical period, and sometimes you have to admire these folk scientists and folk inventors, who always surprisingly give people a sense of anachronism.

In the most lively place, Lynch saw a very edgy middle-aged man wearing a modified hat from a motorcycle helmet, with two spiral coils on it, and there seemed to be some small electric sparks in the coils.

He is working hard to introduce his products to others - according to his own words, as long as he wears this helmet and meditates for a period of time, he can discover other people's brain waves without using the instrument, and understand other people's inner thoughts.

Two beautiful young girls didn't seem to believe that all this was true, and they had written something on a piece of paper behind the inventor's back, and the inventor easily read what they had written.

More and more people are coming around, and many people are scrambling to get the inventor to get their own inner thoughts, and no matter what, the inventor can always accurately say the inner thoughts of each person he chooses......

It's a typical liar, but people believe in it, just as people believe that there is a profession called a psychic who can communicate with the dead, just as people believe that there is a profession called a fortune teller who can easily control the fate of others......

This is an era of rapid progress in science and technology, but also an era of rampant fraud, where scammers and masters perform on the same stage, and many years later, will these people think of this scene when they think about it?

Or do you think of it as a precious memory?
