Listening to the two men chatting, Xu Jiayu, who was deeply shocked by Zhang Sixing, suddenly reached out to wipe away his tears. He even remembered to take out a pocket mirror from his pocket to take a look at his appearance.
Yes, the guy in front of me is the bank robber who traveled across Europe, but he used the money he robbed to settle the lives of German veterans.
When she was studying abroad, many of her classmates regarded Zhang Sixing as their dream lover. Otherwise, it was all the fault of British literature. After all, the adventure novels of "Robin Hood" were also popular in Europe.
Of course, Xu Jiayu, who received classical education, would not think that way, but she would also imagine Zhang Sixing to be a knight. Therefore, when she learned that her father was cooperating with that "hero", she became particularly concerned about this matter.
"Let's go, let's go quickly. He's going to send the American to heaven with a piece of cloth. We can't let him leave us behind. Yu'er, let's go quickly."
She grabbed her imported purebred white horse and chased Zhang Sixing and the others.
"You just want to use this thing to fly into the sky, you are sure it can fly into the sky. My God, this thing is cruder than the Wright Brothers' airplane."
Looking at the weird-looking things in front of him, Dolittle felt weird and even a little creepy at the same time. After all, Zhang Sixing wanted to send him to heaven.
Zhang Sixing did not explain this, but took up the strange-looking air himself.
It is like a pyramid, but one axis is pulled into the shape of a long pyramid. The hang glider is an earthen product made of white wax rods combined with silk and wood glue.
Of course, Zhang Sixing is not unaware of fiberglass, especially now that Europe and the United States already have continuous glass fiber and epoxy resin. In the future industrial system established in Argentina, there are epoxy resin production companies.
The bomb-like shape of the cockpit below made Chennault even more suspicious of the safety of this thing.
As for Chennault's evaluation, Zhang Sixing was not moved at all. After all, in his previous life, he had flown both with and without power, and even the former was a complete military product.
The engine of the motorcycle made a rumble, and Zhang Sixing, holding the delta wing, ran clumsily along with the motorcycle.
Of course, he didn't run very fast, but Chennault and Xu Jiayu, who had already arrived, looked a bit silly running with the delta wing on their backs.
However, less than a minute later, Zhang Sixing, who was running, suddenly retracted his legs, and then sat in the cannonball-shaped cockpit like a boat. He stretched his legs comfortably, just like lying on a recliner, only in the cannonball
A head protrudes from the shaped cockpit.
The delta wing lived up to the rules of aerodynamics and successfully broke away from the ground.
Chennault paid it off. When Zhang Sixing really left the ground on the motorcycle's drag strip, he had already understood the flying principle of the delta wing. Even he could figure out that the huge area required for this thing to fly was huge.
It’s just that people at this time were not so bold, and this kind of extreme sports would only appear in the 1960s.
But for Xu Jiayu, who didn't know how to fly, it was simply a fantasy that he could fly into the sky with just a piece of cloth. In the rush and shock, the girl's head twitched, and she actually made the sign of the cross very seriously.
Chennault really just shook his head and said it was funny. After coming to China for a while, he only had one sentence to criticize China.
"This is a desert of modern technology."
No matter which Chinese person hears these words, it is a very harsh sound.
However, after the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, long-term social turmoil, lack of social cohesion and confusion about the direction of common struggle were inevitable pains for China as it entered the true scientific and technological era.
There was not enough to eat and the distribution of social wealth was extremely unfair and just. This was the biggest problem in China at that time.
But Mr. Deng said - development is the last word, and technology is the primary productive force.
Perhaps everyone understands that the future will definitely belong to the stars and the sea, but today’s lunch is the top priority.
Perhaps ordinary people can always be troubled by this problem, but leaders must understand that technological advancement is the only prerequisite for survival, because if you fall behind, you will be beaten.
Material determines consciousness, fists are the last word, and truth is only within the range of a cannon.
Looking at the eagle-like delta wings in the sky, Chennault was thoughtful. At this moment, he finally understood why Zhang Sixing painted the delta wings like the wings of an eagle.
If you place this thing dozens of kilometers away, anyone will think that it is just an eagle flying in the sky, and will not regard it as something that can carry people.
"But how can such a light thing be loaded with bombs? It... it..."
Chennault, who had never flown this thing before, was a little itchy, especially since he had never flown such an extremely inferior, hand-made thing. But not only did this thing fly, it seemed to fly pretty well.
Since it can fly, what is its load capacity, especially how it can be used to carry bombs, and what kind of bombs it can carry, so that it can play a major role in damaging the Japanese offensive forces.
"I think this kind of thing can only be used to throw grenades. I asked you, Mr. Zhang, are you going to let me use this thing to throw some grenades at the Japanese?"
Zhang Sixing smiled and didn't answer. He didn't want to directly tell this American about the overly lethal weapons that belonged to the future. It would be better for them to study it slowly themselves.
"I said, Captain, you'd better fly first. You won't tell me that you're a little worried that that gadget won't be able to carry your big body. Believe me, it's as powerful and strong as your courage."
The tensile strength of silk is similar to that of steel wire. The ancient Mongolians wore silk under their armor, of course, not for good looks. But when they were hit by an arrow, the tip of the arrow could not penetrate the silk, so the injury was much lighter.
There was no need for Zhang Sixing to invite him twice with an almost mocking tone. Chennault sat in the almost cannonball-shaped cockpit of the delta wing.
Then he picked up the delta wing and complained to Zhang Sixing,
"I said, why don't you put some wheels on it and ask me to carry it on my back? It's not heavy but..."
"Complainer, are you done complaining? Let's drive."
Ignoring his loud complaints, Zhang Sixing waved his hand just to see if the guy didn't respond in time.
The motorcyclist increased the accelerator, and then the motorcycle started to run.
"Hey, hey, I'm not ready yet, Zhang...bastard, you damn bastard..."
Forced to carry the delta wing and start running, Chennault ran as hard as he could, cursing loudly in his mouth, and was then dragged up into the sky by the lift. At first, Chennault was still cursing in the sky, but after a few minutes, he was able to control the delta wing and do various tricks.
tricks.
"Well, as expected of a pilot, the delta wing is really a very simple thing for him."
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiayu, who was holding the horse beside him, answered,
"I really didn't expect that Mr. Robin Hood, who traveled across Europe, was actually a flying Robin Hood. I want to write a letter to Europe to tell my classmates."
Of course this is not allowed. Zhang Sixing looked at her speechlessly,
"If you feel that letting the Japanese know why they were bombed silently is your contribution to the war as a dead mother, then you can write it."
