Start with a blacksmith shop.

Chapter 132 Flying

The next day, he arrived at the company early.

Of the three, only Li Yun had seen the model airplane because she was making flight controllers and other equipment together. The other three had never seen it before.

Liu Xiaodong and Guo Shugui only knew what he was doing, but that was all they knew.

They had never seen the model airplane before; Li Zhenhua had done a very good job of keeping it a secret.

When the two entered the workshop and saw the airplane-shaped model in front of them, an incredulous expression appeared on their faces.

Guo Shugui immediately couldn't help but swear.

"Holy crap! This plane is so realistic, what are you planning to do with it?!"

Li Zhenhua, are you defying the heavens?! You even dare to manufacture weapons?!

As Guo Shugui exclaimed in surprise, Liu Xiaodong had already walked over to the money, stood next to the model airplane, and started circling around it.

She spun around and nodded at him.

"Stylish, really stylish, this is torture."

So you're planning to strive towards the sky, never to return?

His expectations were met with their reactions, and seeing their surprised expressions, he felt that the world was a wonderful place.

"Hehehe. How about it, bro? Doesn't this plane I made look good?"

"I've combined the best design features of various advanced aircraft models into one."

Ignoring his boasting, the two began to examine the model airplane in front of them.

The two of them were completely convinced of his abilities this time. Before, they had only been playing on land, but before they knew it, they were playing in the sky.

Guo Shugui lay down and looked at the belly of the plane, and his eyes immediately fell on the thick landing gear under the nose.

Its metal-like bright silver gleamed, and the tires under the landing gear were flattened where they touched the ground.

Then he suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the nose of the plane, trying to find out if the landing gear had any shock absorption effect.

But when he touched the front of the machine and pressed down, a heavy feeling came over him.

The feeling he gets when he's pressing down on an airplane is the same as the feeling when he's pressing down on the front of a car.

It doesn't feel like plastic at all; it's like discovering a new continent.

Then, holding the nose of the aircraft, he squatted in a horse stance and tried to lift it upwards, but as he lifted it, he realized something was wrong.

He strained with all his might, his face turning bright red, but the nose of the plane he was holding didn't change at all, except that the landing gear lifted up slightly.

Seeing Guo Shugui's appearance, Liu Xiaodong came to his side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Alright, stop lifting it. You can't lift it. Do you really think he's talking about an airplane model?"

You actually believed it to be true, thinking that if it's true, then it's a model!

This isn't the kind of model you're imagining. Let me tell you something.

The model in front of you has two engines, each weighing 120 kilograms, so both engines weigh 240 kilograms.

Although most of this weight is concentrated in the middle and rear half of the fuselage, if the nose is too light...

It simply can't hold down the weight at the back, and the nose will tilt upwards. But do you see the nose tilting upwards now?

He was truly dumbfounded after hearing Liu Xiaodong's words; the two engines alone weighed 240 kilograms.

The fuselage that houses such a heavy engine must be made of high-quality materials.

If that's the case, then the model airplane in front of him probably weighs eight or nine hundred pounds. Thinking of this, he slowly turned around and looked at Li Zhenhua.

After receiving his gaze, Li Zhenhua smiled at him.

"Guoba, the model airplane in front of you weighs 1.2 tons, which is the weight of a small pineapple. If you were a strongman, I believe you could definitely lift the nose of this plane."

After hearing him say that, Guo Shugui rolled his eyes at him and then ignored him.

After the group had circled the model airplane several times, a truck pulled up in front of the workshop.

"Gentlemen, stop looking for now, help me push the model airplane out, just to the door."

The small crane I ordered should be here soon. Let's get this model airplane outside the factory area in Shuzhen for a test flight!

After saying that, the three of them worked together to push the model airplane to the workshop entrance, and soon the crane was in place.

The model airplane, along with its control console, was then thrown onto a truck. The four men then drove ahead, leading the way towards the Shuzhen factory area.

On the highway leading to the factory area of ​​Shuzhen, there are very few cars passing by, because it was built for the Kyushu Mythical Beasts Factory at the end of the highway.

The straight road is over a kilometer long, and there are no trees planted on either side, so the view is excellent and it is very suitable as a test flight runway.

Once on the highway, there was another wait. With the help of a small crane that came along, the model airplane was unloaded from the car.

They then removed the control panel from the truck, but then discovered an awkward problem: there was no suitable power source.

Then the heavy 500-kilogram control panel was moved to a vehicle and driven to the company gate. An electrical cable was then laid out, and the control panel was finally powered on and put to use.

The model airplane, which was originally scheduled to take off from the other end of the road, was also towed by a vehicle with a tow rope to the control panel.

At this moment, their actions on the highway finally attracted the curious glances of passersby.

Some passersby, having nothing else to do, stopped by the roadside and started watching.

Set up the counterweight on the control panel, crawl inside, and power on all the equipment inside.

He then went to the model airplane and opened the still-intact cockpit canopy.

Under the canopy are two 180 lead-acid batteries. At this moment, the battery clips are not connected to the batteries, which means that the model aircraft does not have low-voltage power.

Connect the clips and battery, then turn on the power switch of the model airplane.

The moment the power was turned on, some of the small lights on the model airplane lit up, then went dark.

"Xiaoyun, keep an eye on things for me, okay? I'm going to do a self-check on the control panel!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the control panel, picked up a small stool, opened the cockpit door, and stepped inside.

I sat inside the simulator, fastened my seatbelt, and then began operating the controls on the screen in front of me.

The first step was to connect with the model aircraft's communication system. After all the communication channels were connected, he started pressing the buttons on the worktable in front of him.

After the cockpit and the model aircraft were connected, the aircraft's wings, tail fin, and engine exhaust nozzles all started moving.

After a few movements, it returned to its original state. Li Zhenhua also shouted from inside the control panel cockpit.

"Xiaoyun, let's start the self-examination. Keep an eye on things for me! Now we're checking the tailbone!"

After saying that, he grabbed the control stick in front of him and slowly tilted it to the left, while the tail of the model airplane on the road was also making the corresponding movements.

"Tail bar normal! Flaps normal! Exhaust nozzle movement normal!..."

Then, each component underwent a self-inspection, and finally the entire self-inspection of the fighter jet was completed.

Now we can finally move on to the next step: heading towards the blue sky!

The three people who came with him, along with the truck and crane drivers, left the model airplane at his warning.

At this moment, Li Zhenhua finally reached out his hand to a button on the left front of the cockpit.

Lift a red cover, insert a mechanical key with a ceremonial feel, and turn the key.

Then, a button on the right side was pressed, and the exhaust nozzle of the model aircraft engine outside the cockpit turned red, then the red turned orange and finally stabilized on the blue flame.

As the flames appeared, the unique whistling sound of the turbojet engine also reached the cockpit.

Hearing the shriek, his anxious heart gradually relaxed.

At this point, the model airplane finally gained the ability to move, like an elephant taking a stroll, finding the right takeoff spot on the road.

It's very impressive, the only drawback is that there's only one plane!

Upon reaching the takeoff position, the cockpit controls the variable-sweep wings, changing them from a folded to an extended position.

The original 75-degree sweep angle has been changed to a 20-degree sweep angle.

At this moment, all the preparations for takeoff were completed, and all that remained was to head towards the blue sky!

Sitting in the cockpit, I took a deep breath, exhaled, suppressed my excitement, and pushed the throttle to its maximum.

The model airplane on the road emitted long blue plumes of flame from its engine exhaust, and began to glide along the road.

As the engine noise grew louder, the model airplane's gliding speed also increased.

Soon the model aircraft reached a speed of over 300 kilometers per hour, which was already the takeoff speed.

By this time, the model airplane had already traveled more than 300 meters, and its nose had slightly lifted.

Looking at the virtual instrument panel on the screen in front of me, and seeing the data displayed, I knew we were ready to take off.

Li Zhenhua gripped the control lever and slowly pulled it up.

Meanwhile, the control simulator cockpit was also synchronized with the attitude of the fighter jet in the sky, changing to a 45-degree angle.

Sitting in the cockpit, he could see the images being filmed by the camera on the model aircraft on the screens around him.

The model airplane glided along the road, and when it reached the 500-meter mark, it was launched into the air under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The nose of the plane tilted up, and the landing gear tires slowly lifted off the ground.

With a tremendous roar, the model airplane took off from the ground and soared towards the white clouds in the blue sky.

From Li Zhenhua's perspective inside the cockpit, it felt exactly the same as actually piloting a fighter jet.

The feeling of soaring into the sky filled him with immense excitement, even though he wasn't actually flying at that moment.

But looking at the images displayed on the surrounding screens, he felt as if he were piloting a fighter jet flying in the blue sky.

In just a short while, the plane had climbed to an altitude of 500 meters, and he promptly changed the plane's flight attitude.

The upward climbing posture was changed to a level flight posture.

Looking at the virtual speedometer on the screen in front of me, the speed has now reached 800 kilometers per hour.

"Ah~ This feels so good, this feeling is amazing!"

His shouts could also be heard inside the cockpit.

I updated a chapter at noon, but why aren't many people reading it?

Have all the big shots abandoned me?
