Chapter 623 They're all so bold! (Seeking monthly votes)

"The conversation went fairly well!"

"My impression of Teacher Ran is quite good!"

"Since we're already planning to continue dating, it's not too late to get to know each other slowly!"

"Not so fast, I'm not even of legal marriage age yet!"

"..."

When asked by his father, Wu Aiguo answered quite frankly and generously, without the slightest hesitation or embarrassment.

"Since that's the case, let's get along well!"

Wu Zhi chuckled and said, "When the time is right, you can bring them home to meet them!"

Influenced by the new atmosphere of the founding of the country, people at this time did not care too much about whether they were well-matched in terms of social status or family background.

We are all builders of socialism, and none of us is more noble than the other!

At least, no middle-aged woman in Beijing would dare to loudly proclaim that she has a Heavenly Mark; she would be in for a beating.

"Dad, you're not even forty yet, are you in such a hurry to have a grandson?"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "Take it slow, it's best to let things take their natural course!"

He naturally had no intention of climbing the social ladder; in fact, Ran Qiuye was quite nice.

Although he came from an intellectual family, he did not have much influence.

Otherwise, in the TV series "Full House of Love," it would have been impossible for Ran Qiuye to still be Bang Geng's homeroom teacher in 1970.

Wu Aiguo did not stay with his biological father for long and left soon after.

After that, he focused most of his energy on tinkering with new things.

Actually, it's not a high-tech gadget.

In later generations, it would be a powered hang glider that ordinary people could afford to ride!
This thing looks simple!
In fact, it's just a simplified version of a glider!

As long as the structure is robust, even if a malfunction occurs in the air, it can still glide to a safe landing.

With the domestic engine technology at that time, a powered delta wing could probably fly at a speed of over 30 kilometers per hour and could fly for three hours without any problem.

Don't be fooled by the fact that its maximum range is less than 100 kilometers; in this day and age, it's definitely not bad, especially in China.

Such maneuverability, coupled with the fact that powered delta wings have few requirements for runways, allows them to take off even on rugged mountain roads.

If they can bring one more person along, that would be even more remarkable.

To be honest, what China lacked at that time was mobility, both for government agencies and the military.

As long as Wu Aiguo develops the powered delta wing, he will definitely not lack orders, and the military will certainly bring the repair shop under its control.

This is exactly the result Wu Aiguo wanted!
This time, his own father, Takeshi, personally took charge, serving as the actual assembly master for the powered paraglider R&D team.

After looking at the blueprints, he also thought they were quite simple.

"Simple yet practical!"

Wu Aiguo's answer was even simpler: "Once it's made, Dad, you'll know just how useful this thing can be in China!"

Seeing that he said that, Wu Zhi didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, they would personally take the lead or supervise the master craftsmen in the factory, and repeatedly check to ensure no oversights or accidents occurred.

They conducted the research and development quietly, at a slow pace, and Wu Zhi and his son Wu Aiguo weren't pursuing it.

But by late spring, the first powered delta glider was still completed and transported to a farm outside the city by the factory's light truck.

At the same time, report to the leaders of the higher-level industrial departments.

"What? The Gulou Repair Shop has produced a small airplane?"

"It's not a small plane, but a powered hang glider, which they say is a simplified version of a glider!"

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it? Is it just a wild claim?"

"At the same time the report was delivered, Director Wu had already taken the first powered hang glider to the farm outside the city, preparing for a flight test!"

"Nonsense, Wu Zhi, when did you get so bold?"

"I reckon it's his son's doing again!"

"Quickly, call the military region, let's go check it out right away!" The leaders of the higher-level industrial department were caught off guard, but when they tried to call back, they couldn't find Wu Zhi anywhere.

There was no other option but to quickly notify the military region and immediately take a car to the farm outside the city.

At this moment, a crowd of people had gathered on the open ground of the farm outside the city to watch the spectacle.

It was just an ordinary flat piece of land, without any special renovations.

The first powered hang glider that the repair shop had cobbled together was standing there quietly, looking rather rudimentary.

When the leaders from the higher-level industrial department arrived, they unleashed a torrent of angry roars at Wu Zhi and his son, Wu Aiguo.

After venting his dissatisfaction, he then looked with great curiosity at the quietly parked powered hang glider.

"Isn't this thing a bit too rudimentary?"

The leader also had a vague understanding of airplanes, which definitely belonged to the high-tech category.

"Boss, this is a propeller-driven version of a glider!"

Wu Aiguo stood to the side, shamelessly explaining, "What we need is simplicity and convenience. Repair shops can't handle anything a little complicated!"

"Can this thing really fly?"

The leader, somewhat curious, questioned, "Don't try to fool me!"

"Isn't today the day for the test flight?"

Wu Aiguo said, both amused and exasperated, "The weather is quite nice too!"

Today is a rare good day, with a clear blue sky and not a cloud in sight.

The visibility was excellent, and there was no wind, which was quite rare.

"Wait, I've already notified the comrades in the army!"

The higher-level industrial department leader called a halt, saying impatiently, "We'll talk about it when the troops arrive!"

Before long, several military vehicles entered the farm.

"I heard there are airplanes here, where are they?"

Before the jeep had even come to a complete stop, a middle-aged soldier in his forties or fifties couldn't wait to get out and started shouting.

"Over here, over here, isn't this it?"

The leader of the higher-level industrial department hurriedly waved his hand, pointed to the quietly standing powered hang wing, and laughed, "What's this called? Powered hang wing!"

"Hey, isn't that a glider?"

The soldiers, clearly more knowledgeable, immediately noticed something amiss: "But isn't it a bit too rudimentary?"

"If it's complicated, can the Gulou Repair Shop fix it in a short time?"

At this moment, Wu Aiguo took the initiative to speak.

"This young comrade is..."

The middle-aged officer looked at Wu Aiguo with curiosity on his face.

"I'm the one who put this powered hang glider together!"

Wu Aiguo didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I originally thought it was just a small gadget, but I didn't expect it to alarm so many leaders!"

"Young comrade, you really have a big heart!"

The middle-aged officer was also dumbfounded, and finally said, "Judging from this, are they planning to test fly?"

"really!"

Wu Aiguo nodded in confirmation: "I'll go myself!"

The middle-aged military officer and the leader of the higher-level industrial department exchanged glances, both seeing something in each other's eyes, and tacitly remained silent.

They also wanted to confirm whether Shi Wu'ai and the Gulou Repair Shop were just trying to attract attention or if they actually had real skills.

It must be said that the leaders of this era are truly courageous.

They actually tacitly approved something like this test flight.
