Pearl Island.
The total area of Pearl Island is less than 25 square kilometers, about 30 kilometers away from Odin island. The terrain of this island is quite complex, including mountains, hills, plains, forests, and a seasonal river.
Since haichaoling began to develop magic triangle wing "paper plane", it has been set as a military forbidden zone, and fishermen and other unrelated people are forbidden to approach.
The consul directly sent 2000 probationary team members who were under training to clean up the wild animals on Pearl Island. All the wild animals that threatened human beings were slaughtered.
Subsequently, the administrative department invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build two 30 meter wide high standard cement roads, a four story building and a row of tall warehouses along the runway on a plain sandwiched between two stone mountains.
In other people''s opinion, it is necessary to build a concrete road with a length of more than 1000 meters and a warehouse with a height of 15 meters for a mere 5-6-meter "paper plane"?
This is too much exaggeration, and there is a serious suspicion of waste.
Everyone, including Miss consul, said that it was difficult to understand. However, since this was an order from Renault, Angela faithfully carried it out and urged the administrative department to carry out the construction strictly according to the drawings.
However, in the eyes of any passer-by, Renault''s ambition is obvious.
Isn''t concrete road the runway?
Isn''t a tall building a tower?
Isn''t the warehouse the hangar?
This is a standard airport!
That''s right.
According to Renault''s plan, this is the Pearl Island Airport, where all future aircraft manufactured by the territory will test fly.
"Paper plane" is the first flight test aircraft. Since last week, a second aircraft - "silver kite" has appeared at Pearl Island Airport.
At this time, in an open hangar at the end of the runway, a metal biplane with a length of more than 8 meters and a wingspan of nearly 10 meters is quietly stopping in the middle of the spacious hangar.
It''s the silver kite.
80% of the parts of Yinyuan are made of solid and light Al Li magic alloy, mainly including the shell, wing, tail rudder and other exposed parts, as well as the body frame, landing gear and other key load-bearing parts.
Because Al Li magic alloy is silvery white, the metallic biplane made of it looks very silver and beautiful, which is why Renault named it "silver kite".
It is necessary to use metal instead of wood to make silver kites.
Because the exotic sky does not only belong to human beings, there are countless predators among birds, and most of them are large in size. During the flight test of paper airplanes, they were attacked by big birds more than once.
In terms of flight speed and flexibility, paper airplanes are not as good as birds with stronger flight ability. Once they are targeted by predators, it is almost impossible to get rid of them. The only thing pilots can do is to return as soon as possible.
Several times, the canvas of the paper plane was torn out by the big bird''s claws. If it wasn''t for the gifted youth who had been promoted to the wind Department, Al rescued in time, these hapless pilots would almost never come back.
The rest of Yinyuan''s parts, such as seats, floors and other interior parts, are mainly made of light wood called "floating boat wood".
It is not a native tree of Haichao archipelago, but comes from the inland area of Qianhu Kingdom thousands of miles away.
Canoe wood is incredibly light, and its density is only 13 times that of water.
The reason why this kind of wood is so light is that during the growth of the floating boat tree, innumerable holes are naturally formed in the trunk, and the holes are filled with a kind of peculiar gum which is similar to a sponge, and the gum is slightly toxic.
This is actually a way to prevent moths.
Once the insects get into the trunk, they are either trapped in the gum or poisoned by it.
Extremely unique structure, but also created a very unique wood floating boat wood.
However, the form of the gum is not stable. In the case of high temperature cooking, the gum will decompose into gas. By this means, the gum can be completely removed, and the weight of the pontoon wood will be minimized.
On the other hand, although there are many small holes in the interior of the floating boat wood, it does not mean that its strength is low.
This benefits from another structure inside the wood.
In order to compete for sunlight, the pontoon tree has evolved an extremely rigid network of veins to support the trunk and ensure that it can grow high enough.
In many places of Qianhu Kingdom, the aborigines especially like to build ships with pontoon wood. The more pontoon wood they use, the greater the load of the ships, which is extremely beneficial for freight transportation.
Therefore, the pontoon tree is a very popular shipbuilding wood, which also leads to its rising price, three times more expensive than ordinary marine wood.
In order to reduce the total weight of silver kite as much as possible, Haichao chamber of Commerce specially purchased a large number of pontoon wood and transported it back to Odin island for manufacturing silver kite.
Generally speaking, the structure of this silver kite is quite simple, not much more complicated than the earliest biplane on earth, only having the most basic functions.The only thing worth mentioning is the engine.
It uses two of the latest jet engines, with a single thrust of more than 320 kg, totaling more than 650 kg, more than six times that of the paper plane.
This makes the maximum load of the silver kite exceed 400 kg at one stroke, which makes it have real combat value. It can no longer be used as a large toy like a paper plane.
In addition, because this is only the first aircraft in the history of foreign countries, it inevitably has a lot of defects, especially the control system. At present, even the lifting and steering can not be accurately controlled, and all operations depend on the pilot''s hand.
In fact, if Renault specially adopts the double wing structure with high flight stability, I''m afraid the silver kite will crash in turbulent flow.
In this case, the test flight of Yinyuan is also very dangerous.
In order to speed up the flight test progress and provide more information for subsequent improvement, Renault did not plan to bring al''s valuable and extraordinary combat power to Qianhu Kingdom, but chose him as the chief test pilot.
In this way, silver kite can test fly without fear. Even if there is an accident in the process of test flight, Al is able to save his life as a free flying wind system Superman.
………………
Al quickly flew to the silver kite, pulled up the cabin cover, and went into it happily, sitting on the pilot''s seat.
"Dong Dong..."
A hand suddenly appeared outside the cockpit and knocked hard on the cockpit glass. Then a voice of complaint rang:
"Hey, Mr. elge, you are too fast Can you wait for me to check this silver kite before you climb into the cockpit
This is the voice of Hamad, the rune wizard.
According to the regulations, before each test flight, a special person must carry out a comprehensive inspection on the silver kite to eliminate the fault as far as possible and avoid flight accidents.
Of course, only in the flight test stage will a rune magic mechanic who has participated in the whole process of research and development be assigned to take charge of this work. After Yinyuan''s flight test is over and enters the finalization production stage, the rune Institute will train a group of professional mechanics.
Al waved to Hamad and the two apprentices behind him and said happily:
"Hi, Mr. Hamad, Andrea, brilia, good morning! I just want to give a hand to your examination... "
Seeing al''s motionless appearance, Hamad shook his head helplessly, and the two apprentices returned a big smile.
"All right, sir. Just a moment. Please cooperate."
After leaving this sentence, Hamad and his two apprentices were busy.
Among all the extraordinary people in the world, Al, who has been promoted to extraordinary level before the age of 15, can definitely rank in the top ten in human history.
Interestingly, this young man from a small mountain village always looks like a fool. He has no airs towards anyone and has no sense of transcendence.
Take the greeting just now as an example. If you are any extraordinary person, you can only talk to Hamad, the magic weapon master, at most. You can''t talk to the two apprentices at all.
But al did it naturally, as if it were a matter of course.
Obviously, the deep-rooted concept of class in other people''s minds is hard to understand and should not exist for this young man who is almost a blank sheet of paper.
Because of this, Al''s popularity in the sea tide collar is incredible, from the consul to the common people at the bottom, they all like him very much.
Even once, this guy and a group of children on the street of Hongshi town played together by the sea for a long time.
A civil servant who knew Al was in a mess in the sea breeze after seeing this scene.
Is there any mistake? Everyone looks up to the extraordinary wind, nothing to play with children?
Is the world swollen?
When this miracle spread to the consul''s ears, the girl had a feeling of not laughing or crying.
This is probably the world''s lowest and most willing "degenerate" Superman
No one!
………………
"Sir, please control the aileron..."
Cried Hamad.
Holding the control handle, Al activated a rune square on the right, a pair of long metal plates at the back of the wing, and immediately swung up and down three times in a row.
"Very good!" Hamad called again, "now control the rudder..."
At the back of the tail wing, another piece of metal swung left and right three times.
"Elevator!"
……
"Front wheel!"
A pair of NIMA tires under the nose landing gear are spinning rapidly.
Finally, Hamad knocked around the silver kite and checked whether the key load-bearing parts were damaged. Finally, he called out a long-awaited sentence from al:
"after the inspection, the silver kite can take off!"Al cheered, quickly put on his helmet and started the jet engine without hesitation.
"Huhu..."
A strong air stream from the tail engine nozzle, in the hangar set off a strong wind.
As Hamad and the two apprentices watched, Yinyuan drove out of the hangar and onto the runway.
But al didn''t take off immediately. Instead, he turned and waved to the tower, waiting for the next order.
This is the standard take-off procedure of Pearl Island Airport. Any aircraft''s take-off and landing must be approved by the tower.
"Hum..."
There was a sudden buzz from the loudspeaker at the top of the tower, and then a loud voice spread all over the area.
"001, permission to take off!"
Al strained his face, released the brakes and pushed the engine to its limit.
"Hiss..."
The sharp whistling sound of the air was heard, and the silver kite seemed to be pushed hard. It glided forward faster and faster.
When the speed was close to 100 m / s, Al decisively lowered the elevator and aileron, and the oncoming airflow hit the metal plate. Yinyuan was lifted up like a giant hand. The huge fuselage was slightly shocked, and the front tires left the ground.
When the elevator and aileron moved to the maximum position, the lift generated by the airflow finally exceeded the weight of the silver kite, leaving a pair of rear wheels off the runway.
The next moment, the silver kite like a silver bird, into the sky.
As the island below grew smaller and smaller, Al could not help grinning and smiling.
At the gate of the hangar, Hamad, who witnessed the take-off, clapped his hands hard.
"The take-off was very smooth this time. It seems that the control level of Aerge is getting higher and higher..." Andrea, the apprentice of the magician, whispered.
Another apprentice, brilia, said with a smile:
"I still remember that during the first test flight of Elkor, he hit the elevator and aileron to the limit, and Yinyuan almost tumbled over. Sir Seth was so scared that he covered his eyes, and the consul lady was also so scared that she cried out in a loud voice..."
Andrey nodded and sighed:
"yes, if Mr. aer didn''t react quickly and use the extraordinary power of the wind system to stabilize the silver kite for the first time, I''m afraid that flight test would definitely be a disaster. In front of so many government officials and the high-level of the island protection team, Mr. Seth and Mr. Murphy would lose face."
Brilia suddenly turned her eyes and asked in a low voice:
"Andrea, did you see the two senior officers that day? I hear they''ve been watching the test flight from the tower. "
He smacked his mouth and added with regret:
"it''s a pity that I''m not qualified to go to the tower. I can only stay around the runway and can''t see them..."
"I didn''t see it either." Andrey shook his head and said in an inexplicable tone, "these two beautiful ladies look so much alike. Every time I see them, I can''t tell who is Miss Elsa and who is Miss Rachel."
Brilia whispered with a smile:
"Hey, I think you think the two ladies are too beautiful to see..."
Andrea curled his mouth disdainfully:
"don''t you, too?"
Hamad suddenly turned around, glared at them and yelled:
"two idiots, take care of your mouth. Don''t talk about the two senior officials behind your back in the future. They are the people around the Lord. Remember your identity, they are not what you can think about."
"I can tell you clearly that if these words just reached Sir Seth or Sir Murphy''s ears, you will be expelled from the rune Institute..."
He pointed to the hangar with his right hand and said angrily:
"now, you two immediately go in and recite Yinyuan''s" maintenance regulations "for me. Half an hour later, I will personally check. If anyone can''t recite it, the performance bonus of this month will be halved..."
Andrea and brilliaton were scared into a panic.
A minute later, they looked at the "maintenance regulations" which was filled with six pieces of paper. They only felt bitter in their hearts.
There are at least 3000 words in the regulations. Who can recite them in half an hour?
………………
At this time, Aisha sisters, who are secretly thought about, are watching another demonstration at the weapons research institute hosted by the rune magic weapon master.
