It was a nervous afternoon. No one knew the outcome of this challenge to the blue sky, nor how to avoid failure in the sky. But before boarding the plane, my nephew smiled, hugged, shook hands, and said goodbye to everyone.
"Uncle, we will definitely succeed!"
Yes, they succeeded. When the plane jumped up from the wooden track and flew through the air, everyone cried with joy.
They succeeded, they really succeeded. For the first time, mortals used their own hands to overcome the constraints of gravity.
That flight lasted only 15 minutes, and the flight altitude was less than 300 meters. The final landing was also full of dangers, which made people's hearts rise to their throats, but in the end they landed safely.
In the eyes of latecomers, the first airplane can only be called a sliding wooden frame, but for this era, the warriors pushed open the door to the sky.
With successful cases, the next step is to continue to improve, but another problem lies in front of everyone, no money.
Even manual workshop-style research and development is very expensive. At this time, the team has little savings and must find investors.
So my nephew came up with a bold idea, that is, to find a clear day and let the plane fly in the sky over Xumi City. As long as everyone below can see it, why don't you worry about not investing?
Everyone feels that this plan is feasible. After all, they have been so successful before. Even if they just fly slower and lower, as long as they can fly, it will be a historic breakthrough and will definitely be favored by the sponsor.
However, in order to ensure the safety of his nephew, Yun Mu still made some preparations. He developed a very basic seat that relied on springs to provide elasticity, and equipped his nephew with disposable wind wings to ensure that in an emergency He can get out quickly and land safely.
It was also afternoon that day. My nephew put on his favorite leather windbreaker and simple goggles, and boarded the prepared Birdie with great ambition.
Flying like a bird is the dream of everyone present, so this plane is called Birdie.
But an accident happened during this determined flight.
The steam engine applauded and charged towards the ground in the most violent manner. In desperation, the nephew could only activate the escape device, but the spring was stuck.
In desperation, he had no choice but to manually disengage, but at this moment, the ejection seat activated.
The inertia of the plane and the wrong launch direction of the ejection seat left a 16-year-old young man's life forever on that sunny afternoon.
In the eyes of others, this was a failed experiment and a pitiful way to die.
But for Yun Mu, this was a heartbreaking and tragic blow.
The death of his nephew made him blame himself extremely. For him, his nephew was not only the successor of his dream, but also another young self, and the other self was killed by him because of his mistakes.
The huge mental pressure almost killed this old man who had suffered for half his life, but he still endured his grief and made arrangements for his funeral.
He couldn't fall yet, and if he fell now, all his previous efforts would be completely wasted. His dream, his parents' blessings, his brother's help, his nephew's inheritance, and the trust of his colleagues were just the last step away from the door to the sky.
"I am 59 years old and I don't have much time. God, the omniscient and almighty, please give me a little more time."
At this moment, his colleague and student suddenly ran over excitedly.
"Teacher, His Majesty the Red King wants to see you!"
Chapter 100: Price
(Second update, exactly one hundred chapters?(^?^*), just catch a reader and persecute him, who is willing o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓)
The old face and resolute eyes were Iers' first impression of Yun Mu.
This is a pioneer worthy of respect, because only such a person can have such a pair of eyes, no matter the wind, frost, snow or rain, his eyes will always stare at a target, and the traces left by those years are all medals belonging to the brave.
But it was also a sign of suffering. Yun Mu's information had been sent to Iers in advance. After reading it, he could only let out a long sigh.
History is not gentle to every pioneer, and the only solace for them is success.
The cruel thing is, not everyone can succeed.
The mathematical formulas that were verified in the 5th century did not have application scenarios until the [-]th century. The national automation system planned by the Soviet Union did not see the light of day until the [-]G era. The distance between dreams and reality is often a desperate length of time.
Pioneers are lonely. They may never see the results they want in their lifetime, but they give the people who come after them the key to the future.
"Welcome, challenge the hero of the sky."
Ils stepped forward first and held Yun Mu's hand. He had the utmost respect for such a truth seeker.
"Your Majesty...this...this can't be done, it can't be done."
Yun Mu was flattered. He was so virtuous and capable that His Majesty the Red King condescended to step down and shake hands with him first.
It’s over, it’s over, what a bad rule.
"There's nothing you can't do, please come this way."
Ilse doesn't care about the ancestral laws. You say the ancestral laws are immutable, but he says I am an ancestor and I don't care.
What, you said I am not an ancestor, then in 50 years, will I be an ancestor? Now I am just overdrafting my status as an ancestor in advance. I can get money out of the loan. Why can't I withdraw money in advance for a title? It doesn't make sense.
The Ming Dynasty officials who were present at the time all said yes, and they respected Iers' decision and had no intention of embarrassing His Majesty.
They are all voluntary and have nothing to do with Iers' Eighteen Tribes Xiaoxiaole.
What, you don’t believe it!Drag him down and kill the nine tribes!There is no reason for this.
Iles is already very proficient in this area of business and has sufficient practical experience. This can be seen from the time when he cleaned up the internal problems of Sumeru. He took advantage of the civil war and the issue of siding with the Order to clean up as much as possible. , those who had vested interests in ensuring the old order were killed, and even if the newly appointed officials wanted to build a network, it would take several years, as long as they continued to be broken up, cut, and assigned during this period , can ensure the high efficiency of the government for a long time.
To put it bluntly, the reason why some officials have crazy thoughts is because there are too few things to do. I will find something for you to do. If you are busy, you will hit the back of your head with your foot to see if you still have the leisure and elegance to do things.
Officials are all tops. They can't spin unless they are spinning. Even if you work hard, they will find ways to be lazy, so they have to use bayonets and gallows when necessary. If it is inconvenient, the street lights next to them can also be used. We are pursuing efficiency, so don't If you don’t care about such trivial matters, hang it up!
Moreover, we are still in the founding bonus period, and Iles can really make the difference between life and death with his words.
After a cordial conversation with Yun Mu, Iles immediately decided to establish the Xumi Flight Research Institute. The state would pay for it and provide some aircraft drawings from the First World War, along with other upgrade projects. At the same time, he also hoped that Yun Mu would not give up. Research, Iles wants to know what the combination of elemental power and internal combustion engines can bring, even if it is just a change in energy.
Because until now, Iles has not received any news about oil.
There is black mud similar to petroleum in the abyss, but Ils can't make the internal combustion engine burn this thing. It's more reliable than just throwing a few psykers into it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you..."
As he talked, Yun Mu burst into tears, feeling the joy of realizing his dream and the pain of losing a loved one.
Iers said earnestly: "I already know about your nephew. He is undoubtedly the No. 1 Sumeru Feitian. I believe that when you take out the first plane, you and him will both become It is an important and colorful chapter in the history of Xumi."
Yun Mu suddenly raised his head and asked tremblingly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, is this true?"
Iles nodded firmly and told him, "Yes, it's true."
At that moment, Yun Mu's eyes seemed to be on fire, it was the fire of the idealist's will that burned all things.
Later, Yun Mu had a more professional team, more complete experimental facilities, and sufficient funds. Although he could only sit in a wheelchair, when he left, his body was as upright as Mount Tai.
Watching the old man leave, Iles sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid his (Yun Mu's) time is running out."
This is inevitable. The lower half of the body is paralyzed. I have also experienced countless tragic blows in my life of more than 30 years. I can survive until now only with one breath. Before, it was hatred, now it is a dream, but the human body is material after all, and it will eventually There are limits, and you don't feel it when you are burning for your dreams, but if one day suddenly, when the idealist realizes that he is old and the dream he is chasing is still far away, the collapse will only happen in an instant.
"He was burning his life."
As a goddess of grass, Nasida is very sensitive to changes in life, so she can naturally detect Yun Mu's physical condition accurately.
It was an old ship that was fully patched but still sailing stubbornly.
"The twilight of every idealist is the same."
"Ils, are you okay?"
Nacida held Ilse's hand, and Ilse smiled and shook her head.
"It's nothing, I just think of the teacher when he was 60 and 70 years old."
This is ten years, but it is a persevering fighter and a helpless old man.
"There is nothing to be afraid of. As long as we persist in fighting, it is our enemies who are afraid of us! We will fight until the last moment until complete victory!"
"I'm old, but you're still young. You can go further, see more, and do more."
"What happened in the Six Dynasties was just a private plan of the family (choked)."
"Ils, don't forget, don't forget..."
Don't worry, teacher, I have never forgotten, I dare not forget.
Turning around, Iles picked up the files on the desk again.
Nacida sat down next to Ils obediently and handled government affairs with him.
"Nashida."
"Ok?"
"Grow up quickly."
"Ah."
Nacida nodded slightly.
Chapter 101: Explode me!
(Third update!?(^?^*), some comments and comments have to be deleted for some reasons, I hope everyone understands, ○| ̄|_)
Winter Kingdom, Palace of Fools and Executives
As the CEO, the clown Jim Renault, cough cough cough, it's Piero (Teacher Fu Chong, your voice is so recognizable, it's useless to suppress it), is looking through the casualty list in the recent period. .
"Let our people withdraw from Xumi, this is a complete loss-making business."
Ever since Iers came to power, Zhi Dong's actions in Xumi have been restricted at every turn. Whether it was the fools on the surface or the spies sent secretly, they basically made it possible for black people to enter the United States - and never return.
The most outrageous thing is the counter-intelligence intensity of Xumi. People were sent in the morning and entered the city at noon, but there was no news in the afternoon.
There is no news in the literal sense. It is like disappearing from the world. No one will be seen alive and no corpse will be seen after death. It is quite environmentally friendly.
This made Harlequin suspect that there was a traitor among the executives.
But then he thought otherwise.
why?
Because if there really is an executive of the Fools to inform Xumi, this person must be in a high position and know the internal personnel of the Fools well. All plans and deployments will go through his hands, and at the same time, he must be able to communicate with the outside world under any circumstances. , and will not be suspected.
After some investigation, the person who can do this... Harlequin, is you!
I kill me! ?
This is nothing to investigate.
So it can only be explained that the Red King has some superpowers, such as the legendary Eye of the Red King.
Nowadays, there is a popular saying in Xumi Ting that "there is a red king three feet above the head". Maybe the other identity of the red king is the red ghost.
In fact, what shocked Harlequin the most is that Xumi's new army has completely surpassed the old-fashioned Fools. In all head-to-head confrontations, the elites of Fools have disappeared like snowflakes. In addition, the Fools in Xumi are fighting in a different place. , there is no support from the local people at all, and even because of King Red’s decree, fools are now like rats crossing the streets in Xumi, and everyone is shouting to be beaten.
This feeling of going up the ladder to heaven and meeting ten black radishes in the Urbanized Rakhir Ceremony made everyone in Fools feel a sense of irritation that they could not hold back their urine. They must either continue to compete with the enemy sitting on the toilet for bladder capacity, or give up altogether. , After much thought, this investment needs to be stopped in time, otherwise any additional investment will turn into a sunk cost by [-]%. No matter how big the family fortune of Foolish People is, they cannot withstand such a disaster.
"Doctor, how is the imitation of Xumi weapons going?"
What Wujiao is most concerned about right now is the Sumeru weapon that can make ordinary people comparable to the output of extraordinary people. It is simple, effective, and deadly accurate. It is really a perfect weapon. Zhi Dong must have it.
Doctor Dotore next to him shrugged and said: "It's okay to make it, but it can only be produced in small batches, and Xumi has already replaced it with better standard equipment. We paid a huge price to get it. As a result, ………”
Just by looking at the doctor's appearance, a clown can tell that it's OK to rub it by hand, but it won't work in mass production.
Harlequin sighed, now he missed his former homeland of Canria very much.
The technological power of those days relied on the ability to produce millions of alchemists at any time. Although it was done by hand, with the blessing of extraordinary power, it was able to achieve the productivity of a modern industrial assembly line. Although it was very explosive and continued The time is short, but the huge steel army built in a short period of time is enough to trample most enemies underfoot.
Even in the war to annihilate the country, Kanria was destroyed after pushing the laws of heaven to the limit.
But there is no way to recreate the grand occasion of Kanriya in the winter. The Million Alchemist is the result of thousands of years of accumulation in Kanriya. It is not a red alert engineer that can be created with a few clicks of the mouse on the computer. To reach the same level, Zhidong No matter what, it will take hundreds of years.
Precisely because he knew the potential of Kanrea, Harlequin could better understand the level of the mass-produced equipment of the Xumi army.
On the battlefield of high-end combat power, these weapons cannot participate, but the mass-produced rifles have raised the lower limit of the mortal army, forcing them to a point where they can compete with extraordinary beings.
Besides, this is just a personal weapon, and bigger, heavier and more powerful things haven't appeared yet.
Harlequin can confirm that these weapons are accessories in a complete system. Now the returning Red King is restoring a war system that has never appeared on the continent of Teyvat, and behind the war is a symbol of national strength.
Even the tip of the iceberg is already terrifying. What would it be like to fully experience it?
Most importantly, this system seems to produce results in a short period of time.
"We need to cooperate with Xumi." The clown put down the document, looked at the doctor, and asked: "Have the stragglers not come back?"
"Zhi Dong has no heavyweight envoys in Xumi, so he is allowed to stay for the time being. He has no objection."
"what!?"
The Harlequin's voice was an octave too high in an instant, almost scaring the Doctor out of his wits.
