Nanyang 1931: From piglets to giants

Chapter 31 Test Flight
half a month later.

"Wahahahahaha, wahahahaha, so cool, so cool, hahahaha."

On the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, near a deserted, completely abandoned open-pit tin mine, Wang Qiaoyun was soaring over the mountains and forests on a not-so-perfect powered trike.

The plane built by Zheng Yi was certainly not a normal plane. He did not have that much ability. That kind of thing was not something that could be manufactured by the weak industrial capabilities of Southeast Asia or even China.

At least it is difficult to mass produce.

What he built was actually a powered delta wing.

Similar to what Hamas commandos sit on.

This thing originated in Europe in the 1970s and 1980s. It is not common in China but is quite popular abroad. It is generally used in tourist attractions, wedding photography, celebration advertising, forest fire prevention and other purposes.

In fact, it is hard to say whether this thing can be considered an airplane. After all, as an aircraft, it has two fatal flaws: low flying altitude and slow flying speed.

But the production difficulty is very small. No professional aircraft engine is needed. It can be directly disassembled from a motorcycle and used. A certain degree of safety is sacrificed and wood is used instead of carbon fiber, and the cost will also be very low.

And it is not completely useless. At least it does not require a special airport for starting and stopping. It is small and easy to carry, and easy to learn and use.

It is suitable for Li Jiazhi to fly for fun, and it is also suitable for Taiyou Machinery's current manufacturing capabilities. Even in terms of practicality, Zheng Yi feels that this thing is much more affordable than actually building an airplane.

Wang Qiaoyun was a pilot himself and a good friend of Li Jiazhi, so he volunteered to be Zheng Yi's test pilot.

20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters, 50 meters.

"Hey! Come down quickly, it's too high, the thing is not yet completely finished, you flew too high!" Zheng Yi shouted anxiously from below.

There's no way this thing could fly into the stratosphere, so the higher it goes, the stronger the winds it encounters, and the more dangerous it is.

This Wang Qiaoyun is so bold!

"Wahahahaha, this is so exciting, so exciting! Speed ​​up for me!!"

As he spoke, Wang Qiaoyun was actually in the sky, and without any power at all, he pulled the operating lever, adjusted the position of the front triangle of the wing, and actually dived and accelerated.

"Fuck, you're so fucking reckless!"

"This is so much fun, so much fun. Jiazhi, come and play with us. This can seat two people. Oh my god! I'm out of control!!"

The acceleration was too strong, and Wang Qiaoyun hurriedly pulled it up urgently, but in the end she still didn't do it well and fell down again.

Zheng Yi and Li Jiazhi were so shocked that they ran over to check.

"Qiaoyun, are you okay?"

"Miss Wang, are you hurt?"

After a while, I heard someone say, "Haha, this is so fun. I was saying, even if something breaks, it won't kill me. It's nothing. Lao Zheng, your joystick is not good. It's not responsive at all."

"Whoo~"

Zheng Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I never thought you would go to such extremes."

Wang Qiaoyun is really brave, but she is not familiar with the game yet, otherwise he would doubt whether this woman dares to drive this thing in the sky to do Thomas the Great Spin, or even difficult moves like Falling Leaves.

If this woman lived in modern times, she would definitely become good friends with Red Bull.

However, it must be said that she is indeed very suitable to be an aircraft test pilot, and she can measure all kinds of extreme data for you.

The reason why his research on powered delta-wing progressed so quickly was not only because the factory's research team was becoming increasingly powerful, but also because Wang Qiaoyun, the test pilot who was not afraid of death or falling, made an indelible contribution.

"Don't make excuses, Lao Zheng, your machine is just not sensitive." "Okay, I'll take it apart and re-check it and design it. Well... Actually, we can design two sets of operating systems, just like anti-aircraft guns.
That is, the vertical adjustment angle and the left and right adjustment angle do not interfere with each other, but this will increase the difficulty of learning and require a higher reaction speed from the pilot. "

especially……

Zheng Yi couldn't help but look at Li Jiazhi.

After all, this thing is a gift for her, so instead of pursuing performance, stability and operability seem to be more important.

"Good idea! Two operating systems are great! Let's do it, Old Zheng. Only this way can we call this thing an airplane and achieve even slightly more maneuverability. Haha, what do you think, Jiazhi? Jiazhi, you wouldn't be afraid to fly it, would you?"

Li Jiazhi: “………………”

"Come on, Jiazhi, sit behind me and I'll take you for another flight. This thing is so much fun, even more interesting than a real plane."

Although Wang Qiaoyun had just had a minor accident, she immediately acted as if nothing had happened and even insisted on dragging Li Jiazhi along.

Li Jiazhi: "I...I..."

Wang Qiaoyun: "Oh, it's okay. This thing is similar to a paper airplane. As long as there's no typhoon, you won't die even if it falls. You don't even need a parachute."

"You're not afraid to even sit in it, are you? Then why are you driving it? Old Zheng, she doesn't even dare to drive it, so why don't you give it to her instead of giving it to me."

Li Jiazhi: "Who, who said I don't dare? This is my plane. You, you are just testing it. If you succeed, I still have to fly it. At worst, I can give you the second plane."

As she said that, Li Jiazhi took a deep breath and resolutely got on the car and sat in the back seat.

"I, I have nothing to be afraid of. This is my plane. You, you just fly it."

"Tsk~, so stingy!"

Wang Qiaoyun muttered something, then immediately started to speed up and flew up again. Soon after, she started shouting again like a mad woman.

Sometimes Zheng Yi was also quite curious about who Wang Zhaosong, the leader of the overseas Chinese community in Qiongzhou, was. As a wealthy tycoon, he could actually raise a girl so... unique. It was no wonder that Li Jiazhi envied her.

He was a little envious of this woman.

On the contrary, Li Jiazhi, although it was her first time flying in the sky, was already very scared. Her olive face turned a little pale with fright. She held on to the iron bar of the chair tightly with both hands, but she didn't say a word.

"Hey, Jiazhi, if you're scared, you can scream. If you scream, you won't be scared anymore, and you might even feel good."

"But……"

"Don't say buts. There are no outsiders here. Apart from the servants, there is Lao Zheng. Lao Zheng still likes you. Even if you scream like crazy like me, he will just think it's cute. Really, I don't know who you are pretending to be for every day. Let go, baby, don't suppress yourself!"

As she spoke, Wang Qiaoyun suddenly pulled the joystick, raised the head of the delta wing high, and took off suddenly with the help of a strong wind blowing towards her.

Wang Qiaoyun: "Wahahahahahahaha, isn't it exciting?"

Li Jiazhi: "Ah~~~~, good, so satisfying~"

Zheng Yi, who was sitting below, couldn't help but laugh.

As he was watching, an old car slowly drove over. The driver, A Ming, got out and found Zheng Yi. He said, "Mr. Zheng, my husband asked me to ask you to go back. He said he had something urgent to do."

"Hmm? What happened?"

"Zhang Yucai, president of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, has invited you to dinner at Xuehuatang at 6 o'clock tonight. It seems... he wants you to go."

"Xuehuatang, Zhang Yucai?"
