Chapter 28 Notify the Minister and the Emperor

Chapter 28 Notify the Minister and the Emperor
Looking at the simple plane in the sky, Zhu Jingyuan let out a sigh of relief, and it flew straight away.

In the early days, because the wing shape was incorrect, the lift obtained by itself was very limited, and the wing could only be enlarged as much as possible.

Zhu Jingyuan directly gave the correct wing shape, and modified it from the existing wing size, so the lift was very rich.

In addition, the engine is relatively powerful, and the control structure is relatively reasonable.

So the world's first flight test, it can directly fly stably.

At least it has achieved the effect of the third test machine of the Wright Brothers, and it will actually be better if you simply calculate the hard parameters.

The invention patent of the aircraft has basically been obtained.

These officials of the Ministry of Industry should not be embarrassed, nor have the courage to plagiarize their own grandson's creativity.

Zhu Jingyuan was a little excited for a few seconds, then looked at the plane that was getting higher and higher, and began to be a little worried.

The success of the test is originally a comedy, don't turn into a tragedy because everyone is too excited.

So Zhu Jingyuan patted Li Rui who was in a daze:
"Be careful, use the horn to shout, don't let him fly too high!"

Li Rui was in a trance, but he was more excited and excited. After hearing Zhu Jingyuan's cry, he woke up a little, and at the same time asked subconsciously:
"why?"

Zhu Jingyuan explained:

"After all, this is the first test. If the operator can't control it, the person who falls may be gone. Test it at a low altitude first, and familiarize yourself with the aircraft control first."

Li Rui immediately understood, and immediately raised the horn and shouted to the sky, asking the world's first pilot to fly carefully and not continue to lift.

Zhu Jingyuan also reminded him:
"Don't be too anxious to land, just fly slowly, try to adjust the direction slightly, and adapt to the control method..."

Li Rui nodded and continued to shout reminders.

In fact, both of them were a little too cautious.

Early planes were slow enough, much slower than later cars, and the first military planes were only sixty kilometers per hour.

With a total of more than 30 horsepower engines, how fast does it want to fly?

At the same time, the wings are huge and regular in shape. They are standard gliders themselves. As long as they do not encounter a sudden large cyclone, there will be no problems.

The craftsman in charge of operating the aircraft has also flown hundreds of thousands of gliders. Although he is very excited now, his body instinctively knows what to do.

Coupled with the reminders from Zhu Jingyuan and Li Rui, there were no major problems during the flight.

The aircraft slowly lowered its altitude, stabilized on the level of about three floors, and slowly circled several large circles over the test site.

Then, at the request of Li Rui, he began to carefully lower the height, and according to Zhu Jingyuan's reminder, he landed slowly at one end of the runway.

The plane swayed a little when it approached the ground, but it finally landed on the ground normally, and stopped after taxiing down the runway for tens of meters.

The craftsmen who had been watching for a long time immediately rushed up and surrounded the plane that had just landed in the middle.

The pilot who tested the plane was obviously very excited. He squatted from the middle of the plane for a while before standing up, and he was still swaying on the way down.

The assistants of the two anti-shake handles saw the situation and immediately ran over to support the pilot.

The pilot was held up by his companions. After standing firm, he finally couldn't help his emotions. He suddenly raised his hand and shouted:

"We made it!"

This voice shouted, and the crowd just quieted around, and immediately became noisy again, and it lasted for a long time before falling back slightly.

In the end, Li Rui brought the test pilot and the assistance of two anti-sway handles to Zhu Jingyuan.

Li Rui, as the host of the test, is still a little excited, with an uncomplicated and excited report:

"Report Your Highness, the test of the fixed-wing flying machine was successful. The flight time is more than 10 minutes, the flight altitude is more than ten meters, and it can hover stably at about ten meters."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, and thank you craftsmen for your cooperation."

Zhu Jingyuan took a deep breath and expressed his gratitude in a solemn tone. At the same time, he did not forget to remind himself:

"Now that the experiment is successful, please sign Mr. Li and everyone, and we will apply for an aircraft patent!"

Li Rui didn't think about the patent, but he reacted immediately. This patent can indeed be applied for, and it is indeed important enough, and immediately agreed:

"No problem, I'm going to prepare the confirmation documents. All the craftsmen on the scene are witnesses, and you are the inventor of the airplane!"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded solemnly:

"Trouble you all."

Just as Li Rui was about to leave, Zhu Jianyan, who was beside Zhu Jingyuan, seemed to have finally reacted and hurriedly reminded:

"Remember to notify Zou Shangshu... You have to tell Your Majesty, I'll make a phone call. There should be a phone here, right?"

Some top Li Rui reacted again and quickly thanked Zhu Jianyan:
"Thank you, His Royal Highness, for reminding me that there is a telephone at the testing ground. Please come with me."

Both of them knew that at this time, both Zou Shangshu and the emperor should have started to eat, but the success of the plane was definitely worth disturbing their meal.

Zou Shangshu was indeed eating.

In the morning, Zhu Jianyan and Zhu Jingyuan and his son left together, Zou Lao Shangshu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately returned to the office to continue working.

I answered more than 30 calls in one morning, signed dozens of documents, and the work still had no end in sight.

During lunch time, Zou Shangshu didn't leave the office at all, and asked someone to bring over the lunch box, and continued to read the documents while eating.

When Li Rui's call was transferred by the operator, Zou Shangshu put down his chopsticks helplessly.

"Why is anyone still working at this time?"

Zou Shangshu muttered, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and picked up the microphone on the table.

Li Rui's somewhat excited voice came out immediately.

"Da Sikong, I'm Li Rui. This is the Chengxi outdoor test ground. The test of His Royal Highness Jingyuan's fixed-wing aircraft was successful!"

"what?"

Zou Shangshu was obviously stunned for a moment, but his mind did not immediately react to what Li Rui said.

Li Rui repeated his report again, briefly explaining the situation of the flight test.

Zou Shangshu finally did not come over at all, and then stood up suddenly, the chopsticks in his hand fell directly to the ground:

"Successful? Really successful? How is this possible? You are not lying to the old man, are you? Do you have a photo?"

Li Rui was also stunned when asked:
"I didn't take it. Everyone was so excited at the time that they forgot to take pictures, but you can fly again at any time, and you can take pictures when you fly again."

Zou Shangshu finally reluctantly accepted the reality, and slowly sat back with the microphone in both hands:

"I... I'll go over in a while, and you ask the craftsmen to continue to check, prepare for another test, and continue the test in the afternoon."

Zou Shangshu hung up the phone and didn't eat the rest of the meal. He took the phone and continued to dial. He wanted to get the number of the political secretary and was ready to contact the emperor.

As a result, the Secretary of General Affairs responded that the emperor was calling and asked Zou Shangshu to wait for a while.

Zou Shangshu was stunned for a moment, but he soon realized that this should be Zhu Jianyan and his son, who went directly to the emperor to report.

However, the report of Zhu Jianyan's father and son is the matter of their father and son.

Zou Bingtai waited patiently for a few minutes, and the Secretary of Communications called directly, and then connected to the emperor.

After a brief greeting, Zou Bingtai explained the situation directly, that is, the following officials reported that the aircraft had been successfully tested, and he was going to personally verify it.

Sure enough, the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang said with a very happy smile:
"I already know, Jian Yan just told me, and I am also preparing to go there. Let's go together, and let the driver pick you up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Zou Bingtai agreed subconsciously, feeling helpless in his heart.

To be able to ride with the emperor is a sign of trust.

But the old emperor is different from other old people. He likes to take a car when he goes there. I don't know if he is promoting the Royal Automobile Factory.

The young courtiers are okay, they think they are quite fresh and fashionable, but the old people are a little uncomfortable and can't just shirk it.

After the emperor hung up the phone, Zou Bingtai sighed with mixed feelings.
