Chapter 214 Test Flight Glider

The delta glider is the simplest structure of the glider family.

Its maximum carrying capacity is only two or three people.

Lu Bu did not intend to make a delta glider with a large carrying capacity. What he arranged for the craftsmen was to build a one-man glider.

After the wings of the glider were built, Lu Bu personally watched the craftsmen put the suspended fuselage on.

The fuselage is divided into two parts.

The front half is for gripping, while the back half is for placing your feet.

Once it takes off, people can lie flat under the glider, which can reduce resistance in mid-air and prevent the glider from losing balance.

Standing beside Lu Bu, Pang Tong looked at the newly built glider: "Can this thing really fly?"

"How will you know if you don't try it?" Lu Bu said with a curled lip, "There is nothing that can be used just after it is made."

"I'll arrange someone to try it out right now." Pang Tong replied.

"It's better for me to try it myself." Lu Bu said: "Someone has to try something new, and I can let the soldiers practice it only if it is sure that it can be used."

"Absolutely not!" Lu Bu wanted to try the glider himself, and Pang Tong said hastily: "I don't know what is going on with this thing. Marquis Wen is the backbone of the three armies, so there must be no mistakes. Even if I try, I must not let Marquis Wen go." try out."

"Shiyuan is my think tank, how could I let you try it." Lu Bu said, "I'll do it..."

"I firmly ask Marquis Wen to give up trying." Pang Tong bowed with a big gift: "If Marquis Wen tries, I will follow along."

"How dare you threaten me?" Lu Bu smiled and patted Pang Tong's arm: "But you are doing it for my own good, so I won't argue with you."

He then told Zhang Liao: "Go to the army and choose soldiers who are willing to try. If they land intact, they will be promoted to junior school immediately. If they fall and become disabled, I will support him for the rest of his life. If he falls to his death, his family will Get rich rewards!"

As soon as Lu Bu's conditions were opened, Zhang Liao replied: "Marquis Wen's conditions are too generous, I'm afraid there will be too many people willing to try..."

"Then pick the one with the heaviest weight." Lu Bu said, "If someone who is heavy enough can fly without problems, the others will not have any problems either."

"I'll go right away." Zhang Liao responded and left.

Lu Bu circled the already built glider several times.

A delta glider is like an enormous kite.

The wings several steps wide spread out to both sides, like an eagle lying on the ground with its wings spread.

The more he looked at the glider, the more satisfied Lu Bu felt.

Although he hasn't tested the flight yet, he can already imagine the same hundreds of glider like huge birds, carrying soldiers into Wancheng.

Pang Tong, who accompanied Lu Bu around the glider, didn't quite believe that this thing could really plant a person.

Seeing that Lü Bu was in high spirits, Pang Tong couldn't say anything inappropriate to dampen his spirits.

After a while, Zhang Liao trotted over with a soldier.

The soldier who came to Lu Bu with him was a fat man.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, food was scarce, and it was rare to see fat people in the army.

But the one brought by Zhang Liao was tall and burly, like a mountain of meat.

Looking at the soldiers, Lu Bu also murmured in his heart, wondering how many rations this man would have to eat for a meal: "What is your position in the army?"

The soldier's answer solved the question in Lu Bu's mind: "I am a cook in the army..."

Although ordinary soldiers can fill their stomachs every day, the military rations are still limited.

Only cooks can eat with their stomachs open.

Lu Bu curled his lips and smiled: "No wonder it looks very heavy."

Thinking he was going to reprimand him, the fat soldier lowered his head and swallowed in fear.

After staring at the soldiers for a while, Lu Bu asked, "Would you like to try flying kites?"

The soldier nodded quickly.

"Have you ever thought that you might be thrown to your death?" Lu Bu asked again.

"Think too much." The soldier replied: "It is worthwhile to be able to do things for Marquis Wen, even if you fall to your death."

"If you didn't fall to your death, you won't be able to be a cook if you become a small school in the future." Lu Bu asked again: "Don't you feel panicked if you can't eat so much food?"

"No loss." The fat soldier lowered his head and replied, "If you eat too much military rations, you will be hated after a long time. Being a small school is a matter of honoring your ancestors. Even if you starve to death, you can give it to your family." There is an explanation."

Lu Bu nodded: "That's right, being a schoolboy is indeed more respectable than being a cook."

The fat soldier lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.

"Let me tell you how to control the flying kite." Lu Bu didn't say much to him, and beckoned him to the glider.

Seeing the glider, the fat soldier swallowed.

Growing up so big, he has never seen a man-made "big bird", especially this big bird may take him into the blue sky later.

When he came to the glider, Lu Bu grabbed it with his hand.

Holding the handle tightly with both hands, Lu Bu said to the fat soldier: "Remember, you must hold the handle tightly with both hands. After flying up, lift your legs immediately and put them on the tripod behind. Remember, you must keep Keep your body parallel, otherwise you will fall easily."

As Lu Bu spoke, he pushed the glider and ran.

Pang Tong and the others thought that he was demonstrating the use of the glider, but when they noticed that Lu Bu's feet were gradually leaving the ground and the glider began to fly into the air, they realized that something was wrong.

Pushing the glider to fly, Lu Bu soon felt that the wings were being pushed by the air to float.

When his feet left the ground, he turned his head and blinked at Pang Tong twice, showing a sly smile.

Seeing Lu Bu flying up, Pang Tong's head was covered with black lines.

He ran a few steps after him and shouted loudly: "Marquis Wen, come down!"

Lu Bu, who had already flown, would not care about him, and controlled the glider to fly into the air.

The glider has no power to propel, relying only on the buoyancy of the air and the propulsion generated when he flies.

Lu Bu soaring in mid-air is like an eagle flying high, hovering over the barracks.

The soldiers put down what they were doing one after another, looking up at the sky one by one.

Most of the lieutenant soldiers are illiterate, and of course their eyesight is not too bad.

Although Lu Bu flew quite high, the soldiers quickly saw that he was the one flying in mid-air.

"Look! That's Marquis Wen!" Someone pointed to the air and shouted.

"Marquis Wen is mighty!" Someone shouted out.

Immediately afterwards, the entire barracks was full of shouts of "Wen Hou Mighty".

Lu Bu, who was flying, heard the cheers from the ground, let go of one hand, and waved towards the soldiers.

Pang Tong and others standing on the ground broke out in a nervous sweat when they saw this.

Flying in mid-air for a while, Lu Bu controlled the glider to dive to the ground.

When he was very close to the ground, he controlled the glider to fly up a little.

He went back and forth several times, and when the speed of the glider dropped a lot, he rushed to the ground for the last time.
