Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

The next day in the small basin, a group of workers were using wooden hammers and shovels to trim the weeds and gravel on the ground.

These people were borrowed by Zhao Tianyang from various factories in order to build the runway as quickly as possible.

"Is this reliable, Chief?"

Yu Xiaping was a little skeptical. Other people’s runways were either made of concrete or at least had compacted dirt roads!

He had never heard of a runway that could be created by pulling out the weeds and removing the rocks.

"You'll know whether it can take off or not later!"

Zhao Tianyang is very confident. The delta-wing glider is famous for its low requirements for take-off and landing conditions. Not only can it take off and land on common surfaces such as land, grass, and beaches, it can also take off and land on water after being equipped with buoys!

It can be said that as long as it is given an 80-meter runway, it can take off and land.

"Fine!"

Yu Xiaping nodded and chose to believe it first.

In the afternoon, on a dirt runway that had been smoothed after being tidied up, workers from the arsenal, managers such as Liu Ding and Shen Hong, and even the deputy chief of staff who had come to help build fortifications, all came over to watch the fun.

"Will this thing work?"

"It looks so small, there's only one seat!"

"It can fly. I heard from the factory manager and others that this small plane complies with certain dynamics!"

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, the deputy chief of staff came to Zhao Tianyang who was making preparations for the flight.

"Can Section Chief Zhao's little plane really fly?"

As if afraid that Zhao Tianyang might misunderstand something, he quickly added: "I don't doubt your ability, but this is the first time we've tested this type of aircraft, so there will inevitably be some uncontrollable accidents. Why don't you let someone else fly for you!"

"Yes, Chief, it's better to be safe than sorry!"

Yu Xiaping and others also quickly echoed.

"Don't worry, this thing is very safe!"

Zhao Tianyang put on his windproof glasses and spoke to them in a relaxed manner.

In fact, given Zhao Tianyang's fear of death, he didn't want to be the one who experimented with a delta-wing glider.

But there was no way, this thing was different from the guns and cannons manufactured in the past. If a gun and cannon exploded, it would at most cause people to be disabled, but the delta-wing glider was designed to fly.

If people who know nothing about it are allowed to go up, and if they make an operating error and don't know how to avoid the crisis, then even the delta-wing glider, which is known as the safest, can still result in loss of life.

"this......."

"Let him try it!"

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Liu Ding spoke up: "We, as military workers, should have the will to not fear danger or sacrifice. If we don't even dare to test the weapons we invented ourselves, then what's the difference between us and cowards!"

"But....."

The deputy chief of staff hesitated for a moment, but swallowed what he was about to say.

"Okay, everyone, spread out a bit."

Zhao Tianyang took it, put the canvas parachute on his back, and sat in the driver's seat: "Don't worry, there won't be any danger!"

"Everyone spread out and stand outside the runway!"

Seeing that the situation had been decided, the deputy chief of staff could only cooperate with everyone to clear the runway and drive away the workers who were watching the excitement on the runway.

Soon the runway was cleared, Yu Xiaping came to the engine and started it with the crank.

After hearing the roar of the engine, Zhao Tianyang stepped on the accelerator with his right foot, and the delta-wing glider began to move slowly.

"It's moving, it's moving!"

“It’s getting faster and faster.”

Seeing the delta-wing glider flying faster and faster, everyone became excited.

"The front of the car is tilted up!"

At this time, accompanied by a scream, Zhao Tianyang pushed the control stick in front of him forward with force. The front wheels of the delta-wing glider left the ground, and with the help of the rising air flow, it left the ground and flew high into the sky.

"Hey...it really flew!"

"Oh my god, Section Chief Zhao is awesome!!"

Different from the workers around them who were extremely excited and shouting loudly, Liu Ding and the others looked nervous. They knew that just taking off was not enough, they had to maintain a long flight in the sky, during which time accidents were common!

"call......"

Looking at the crowd below gradually getting smaller and seeing more and more scenery coming into view, Zhao Tianyang took a deep breath and pushed the joystick to go higher.

Because there was no dashboard indicating various data, Zhao Tianyang could only judge his own altitude by the thinness of the air, the air pressure he felt, the wind speed, and the size of the ground.

The scenes seen from a few hundred meters to more than ten thousand meters are respectively from a few hundred meters to about one thousand meters, and pedestrians, vehicles, roads, buildings, etc. can be clearly seen.

When going up several thousand meters, objects on the ground begin to gradually shrink. Various buildings look like pieces of puzzles. The outlines of mountains and cities become more integrated. At this time, pedestrians and vehicles are completely invisible.

When you rise to more than 10,000 meters in the air, the landforms on the ground begin to become obvious. You can see the general outlines of mountains, rivers, and lakes, and the boundary between ocean and land is clearly visible.

If the altitude continues to rise, the ground will become a map with various geographical features and traces of human activities intertwined, but specific objects and activities will not be clearly visible.

So after seeing the Taihang Mountains below becoming more specific and the crowd below becoming unclear, Zhao Tianyang stopped pushing the joystick upward and began to fly forward.

High in the sky, Zhao Tianyang overlooked the Taihang Mountains below, an endless mountain range with majestic peaks and ridges rising one after another.

The mountain is covered with dense forests and shady green trees, giving people a vibrant feeling.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of grandeur as if I was looking down on all the other mountains.

Suddenly, Zhao Tianyang felt a pulling sensation in his left hand and realized that the float he had set in the fuel tank was reminding him.

So he immediately pushed the joystick to the left, and the delta-wing glider began to turn right and flew back in the direction it came from.

When he saw the peculiar landform of Huangya Cave, Zhao Tianyang stepped on the throttle and began to glide downward using the wings.

"came back!"

At this time, the people who were waiting bored near the runway suddenly heard a shout of surprise.

Everyone looked up and saw that the delta-wing glider that had just disappeared was slowly descending and flying straight towards them.

"?"

"wrong!"

The deputy chief of staff reacted, "Everyone, disperse quickly, the glider is heading towards us!"

"Disperse! Disperse quickly!"

Zhao Tianyang on the delta-wing glider was also shouting in horror. He never expected that this thing was easy to take off but difficult to land!

He was originally preparing to land on the runway, but somehow the glider flew towards the crowd.

"Run!"

"Run to the left, the glider is drifting to the right!"

Everyone reacted and started running to the left.

With a "bang...", the delta-wing glider landed heavily on the right side of the runway, and the iron-clad wooden wheels that were originally intact became bent.

The delta-wing glider also lost balance and fell to the left. It slid forward with the power and did not stop until it hit a mound of earth, stirring up a cloud of dust.
