18. Test flight

Longshou was originally located in the northern part of Chang'an.

Legend has it that during the Qin Dynasty, there was a black dragon from the Qinling Mountains to the Wei River to drink, and the place where it passed formed a soil mountain, shaped like a dragon, and the dragon's head was originally changed by this dragon, and it got its name from this.

In October of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin will build Yong'an Palace here, which is later Daming Palace, as Li Yuan's "summer place".

But now, it is still the place where the former dynasty held an archery salute.

Luo Taisui came to the eastern edge of Longshou Plain, and there was a large wooden bird that looked like an eagle falcon parked beside him.

This is the Scout Kite.

A gliding device that relies on the buoyancy of the wind to fly.

Manned ......

That's what the drawings say anyway.

Out of trust in the Mo family, Luo Taisui planned to try it himself.

It can be regarded as adding a little freshness and excitement to this boring life.

Luo Taisui equipped the unicorn arm, reviewed the operation method of the scout wood kite again through the database, and then drilled into the belly of the scout wood kite, and pushed the wheel under it with his foot force, driving the scout wood kite off the ground and rushing down the slope.

Luo Taisui withdrew his feet and rushed down more than ten meters at once with the scout wood kite.

At this moment, a mountain wind blew, and the wooden kite shook violently, disengaged from the slope, and slid through the air.

"Roar!"

Seeing that the scout wood kite did not fall headlong, Luo Taisui roared excitedly.

Not wanting to almost be happy and sad, the wooden kite crooked in the wind, falling diagonally like a kite with a broken string.

Luo Taisui reacted for three seconds before he remembered to operate.

After a period of scramble, the wooden kite was finally controlled.

Then I was busy for a while before I became familiar with the operation.

The wooden kite rose and fell under his control, gradually flying towards the sky above Chang'an City.

Being on a high place, Luo Taisui had a panoramic view of the entire Chang'an City.

Only to find that Chang'an City in this era is more neatly planned than any city in the future.

The whole Chang'an City is like a Go chessboard, with eleven north-south streets and fourteen east-west streets, dividing the whole city into one hundred and eight neat square markets.

The north-south street in the middle of the imperial city is called Chengtianmen Street, and there are six streets connecting the twelve city gates, among which Zhuque Street is an important street that runs through the north and south of Chang'an City.

It is the central axis, one hundred and forty-seven meters wide, dividing Chang'an City into two parts, east and west.

The west management area of the street is called Chang'an County, and the east management area of the street is called Wannian County.

The streets are bustling and very lively.

Trees are planted on both sides of the street, and the scattered clear ponds and streams and numerous gardens make the whole city very neat and beautiful.

Out of Chang'an City, to the east, to the south, to the west, to the north, a number of land and waterways extend out, forming a transportation network extending in all directions.

Luo Taisui faced the wind and soon came to the top of the imperial city.

Fly down in this direction, and even be able to fly out of Chang'an from the southwest through Guangdefang, where he currently lives, and then try to see if you can fly back.

After all, it's a high-altitude reconnaissance tool, so don't make it a big killer for thousands of miles.

……

"Look, princess, there is a great bird in the sky! I've never seen such a big bird! ”

Li Lizhi heard the cheers of the palace maid, and also looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, a large bird that had never been seen before was flying through the sky above the imperial city and heading southwest.

It's a little strange, why doesn't this bird move its wings?

Li Li felt strange in her heart, but after all, she was too far away to see clearly.

Soon, the big bird faded away, becoming a black dot in the sky.

Li Lizhen retracted her gaze, and couldn't help but think of Luo Taisui's ordinary face in her heart.

Not......

Do you want to find a way to get out of the palace tomorrow?

Suddenly I miss the weird food he makes.

……

The sight of the Scout Wood Kite more or less attracted some curious glances from the ground.

But no one could have imagined that the big flying bird was nothing more than a flying device assembled from a pile of wooden parts.

And on it, there is also a person on board.

Soon Luo Taisui entered the return journey, and everything went well.

After such a long time, the operation has become proficient.

This allows him to be distracted from other aspects.

Gradually, large dark clouds drifting from the northwest attracted his attention.

"Oh, it doesn't seem good."

Thinking that it was about to encounter rainy weather, Luo Taisui was a little panicked.

If something really happens, if you fall so high, you will shoot a cake.

Thinking of this, he felt a thrill in his heart, forcibly increased his hand speed, and controlled the wooden kite to lower the height in the direction away from the dark clouds.

However, the speed of the dark clouds is indeed very fast, and it can be described as menacing.

I can't escape.

At this time, Luo Taisui found another problem.

This cloud is not a real cloud at all, but ......

Locust swarm!

I saw dense locusts flying together, in groups, like a large army pressing the border, making people's scalps tingle.

The plague of locusts has finally come.

And I'm afraid it has already plagued half of the Guanzhong region.

Crackling......

A chaotic fluttering sound resounded on the surface of the wooden kite's body.

Luo Taisui lost his vision at the same time.

All you can see is an endless number of flying locusts.

He knew that he was surrounded by locust swarms and was receiving the onslaught.

The Scout Wood Kite is also about to lose control and slant in the constant onslaught.

And the only thing Luo Taisui can do is to adjust this out-of-control tendency back by feeling.

But he really didn't know how long he could hold on.

At this fateful moment, Luo Taisui heard a tearing sound.

Click!

When he looked back, he saw a piece of wood spinning farther and farther behind him.

No way!

You're going to give me this at this time?

It's called disintegration.

The so-called disintegration refers to the collapse and disintegration of the structure of an object......

Now is not the time to think about this!

Click......

A few more pieces of wood that did not function were separated.

As if drunk, the kite began to sway from side to side.

Luo Taisui didn't think about it, and continued to descend to the altitude in order to get rid of the locust swarm, and then find a suitable place to make a forced landing.

Click......

After losing a few more parts, the wooden kite and Luo Taisui finally rushed out of the dense area of the locust swarm, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

A turquoise lake comes into view and grows in size.

This angle ...... That's not right.

Why does it look like you're going to dive headlong into it?

It's going to crash?!

Luo Taisui was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly wanted to lift the wooden kite up.

But it's okay not to lift it, but when it is lifted, the wooden kite is suddenly overwhelmed and turns into fragments in the sky with a bang.

It's all over the calf!

Luo Taisui fell straight down with sawdust wrapped in residual thoughts.

Looking at the lake below getting closer and closer, a thought suddenly appeared in Luo Taisui's mind.

This seems to be the small lake in the West Market near Guangdefang?
