Zhang Tie didn't originally think of doing this, but when he came to the base yesterday, he saw a glider flying under the tow of a car. His heart moved, and he suddenly thought of this possible way - a glider. The weight is basically within 1,000 kilograms, and the speed of the car being towed is not so fast that I can't catch up. On those suitable terrains, the glider can take off smoothly.
He can lift the weight of about 1,000 kilograms by himself. This weight is only about the same as an overweight war hammer. And he can also reach the towing speed of yesterday's car. As long as these two conditions are met, then Why not try to modify the glider so that it can better adapt to its own capabilities and play a greater role on the battlefield
If such a transformation is successful, then in the entire Serness War Zone, as long as there are hillside areas, he can take off from the ground anytime and anywhere, and his combat ability to fly a glider will be improved to another level.
The engineers at the Hoenn Republic Glider Base quickly understood Zhang Tie's idea. Zhang Tie's idea also excited the engineers, and they quickly started to take action.
Because Zhang Tie said that he would use this glider soon, and the sooner the better, the engineers of the Republic of Hernandez did not build a new glider, but based it on an already very mature and excellent glider. On his body, Zhang Tie began to realize Zhang Tie's ideas.
A brand new Windtalker 2 single-seat glider in the glider base warehouse was pulled out by engineers and the cover was torn off. In a hangar, engineers were dismantling it part by part. Start modifying.
…
While the engineers were refitting, Colonel Howlson took Zhang Tie to an office at the base. As soon as Zhang Tie entered the office, he was startled by the things inside. When he entered the room, Zhang Tie almost It was strange that Colonel Howson brought himself to the utility room for what purpose.
In that room, almost half of the room was filled with hats. Notebooks, small models of gliders and certificates of merit.
Colonel Howlson smiled sheepishly, "Ever since I saw you yesterday, all those bastards outside have been asking for your autograph. Today, they are almost going to be in chaos, so I will have them take away all their belongings." I got it here, look..."
Zhang Tie laughed. "No problem. Anyway, I have some time now, so I can satisfy everyone's wishes here!"
"That's great!" Colonel Howlson became happy and immediately called two soldiers from the base to come in and ask them to assist Zhang Tie in doing this.
There are thousands of things in the room. Look at the various pens that have been prepared. Zhang Tie rubbed his face, found a chair in the room and sat down, took a deep breath, and then started to move his hands.
Because Zhang Tie has always regarded himself as an ordinary person, he knows what ordinary soldiers think when they see him. So Zhang Tie is doing this very seriously.
What Zhang Tie signed was not his simple name, but a sentence.
"Salute to the human warriors who fought side by side with me in Sernes—Zhang Tie!"
During those years in Black Flame City. Although Zhang Tie's grades and performance in school are not outstanding, under the strict requirements of his parents since he was a child, his Chinese cursive handwriting is quite beautiful. When he writes it now, the words are full of words. A beauty that combines agility and strength.
Throughout the morning, Zhang Tie did not eat lunch, but was signing autographs seriously. Colonel Haolsen came to see Zhang Tie several times, but saw that Zhang Tie looked so serious and solemn, meticulously signing every item. There were many words left on the items. Especially after knowing the meaning of Zhang Tie's words through the translation of several staff officers in the base who knew Chinese, Colonel Howlson's eyes became moist.
At almost two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Tie finally completed all the signatures, and the Windtalker 2 single-seat glider, which had been played with by a bunch of base engineers all morning, had been modified and placed on the runway of the base. , the gray-blue camouflage on the fuselage allows this glider to have a very good concealment effect in the sky...
If you look at the appearance alone, there is almost no difference between this modified Wind Whisperer 2 single-seat glider and the unmodified Wind Whisperer 2 single-seat glider. The difference between the two can only be seen in the cockpit. get.
At this moment, there is an arc-shaped opening nearly 80 cm long and 50 cm wide on the fuselage below the cockpit of this modified Windtalker 2 single-seat glider, and on the left and right sides of the driver's seat Inside the cabin, there are two more recessed metal handles.
The head engineer in charge of the transformation introduced it to Zhang Tie.
"In this modification, we strengthened the stress-bearing structure of the glider's fuselage frame without increasing the weight of the fuselage. This allows you to lift the entire glider through the two recessed metal handles in the cockpit. When the glider is lifted, fortunately, the position of the cabin is originally where the geometric center of gravity of the entire glider is. This allows you to only bear the weight of the glider itself when lifting the glider. There is no leverage factor to increase the strength of your hands. burden.”
"At the bottom of the glider's cockpit, we have made an opening here so that you can stretch your feet out to facilitate running. We have made this opening at the bottom movable, and there is a hand pull in the cockpit. switch, when you fly into the sky, retract your feet and pull it with your hand, the metal sliding cover below can be closed again, which will not affect your flight and rest, nor will it affect the speed of this glider! "
"To achieve this effect, some adjustments need to be made to some linkage devices of the glider. The hard seats on the glider are no longer usable. We will help you replace them with folding seats. This folding seat is more comfortable in terms of comfort. "It's a little bit different from a hard seat, but other than that, there's no change in the ability to fly the glider, the way you fly it, or your ability to move around in the cockpit."
"Thank you. You are amazing!" Zhang Tie looked at it and nodded with satisfaction. "Can I try now?"
Meng Du, the engineer around him, nodded. Zhang Tie jumped directly into the cockpit of the glider. With both hands holding the two concave metal handles in the cockpit, he lifted the glider off the ground. The entire glider weighed about 800 kilograms. Weight is really nothing to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie's feet were already on the ground, and his hands were holding the glider steadily in this look. Just like he said in the morning, it was like carrying a huge pair of metal pants in the shape of an airplane.
Zhang Tie tried to run lightly for two steps, and found that apart from being unable to wave his arms, his whole body was not affected when running.
After a slight adjustment, Zhang Tie began to hold the glider and run against the wind, moving as fast as he could. It reached over 60 kilometers per hour in just over ten seconds.
After starting to run, Zhang Tie felt that the glider's wings began to gain lift due to the difference in the speed of the upper and lower airflow, and the weight of the glider in his hand was constantly decreasing.
After running a few hundred meters, the glider was already trying to drive Zhang Tie's feet off the ground, blown by the airflow below the hillside, twice. Zhang Tie only felt a light touch on his hand. The glider had completely taken him off the ground and flew towards the sky. Zhang Tie quickly retracted his feet and put them back on the driving pedals. Then he quickly pulled up the metal sliding cover below with one hand, and sat back on the seat. Start driving normally.
The engineers on the ground began to cheer and applaud enthusiastically.
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie piloted his glider and landed on the runway again. Engineers from the base swarmed around and completed the final modifications to Zhang Tie's glider - on both sides outside the cockpit, according to Zhang Tie's requirements , two external weapon racks were added within reach of his left and right hands. Each of the two weapon racks can accommodate 6 metal flying spears about 1.1 meters long. Zhang Tie's weapon against the tenth-level winged demon in the sky.
After completing this, the entire glider base was in excitement, because each of the soldiers in the base received something signed by Zhang Tie. The sentence Zhang Tie wrote to them was even more special to everyone. With the huge praise and encouragement, the morale of the entire glider base suddenly reached its peak.
These engineers all belong to a group of people with a relatively reserved personality at the base. Among the things signed by Zhang Tie, there are actually none of these engineers. After knowing that Zhang Tie left a very meaningful souvenir for everyone, all the engineers There was a look of envy on his face.
Zhang Tie saw the expressions on the faces of those engineers. When several engineers took out a book and asked Zhang Tie to sign it as a souvenir, Zhang Tie asked all the engineers who participated in the glider transformation. made the last request, "Thank you very much for everything you have done for me today. This glider will be my future fighting partner in Cernes. If I have this honor, I hope everyone will sign it for me. Your name is permanently left on the fuselage of this glider. It is a souvenir left by everyone. It also allows me to think of you when I fly this glider to fight. I pay tribute to those who left their names on this glider. Everyone promises to kill a Winged Demon for each of you as a gift!"
Hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the engineers felt a fierce blood surge in their chests. An unprecedented sense of pride and honor made many people burst into tears with excitement.
To leave one's name on the glider flown by Sernes Eagle - this is the highest honor and praise for an engineer.
…
Finally, after taking a precious photo with the officers and engineers of the base in front of the glider, Zhang Tie took the glider with the names of twenty-seven engineers written on it and left in the airship in the evening. .
Zhang Tie did not return to the Crystal War Fortress, but directly let the airship fly towards the north.
One day and one night later, the Idiot airship returned to the Crystal Battle Castle, bringing with it the heads of more than sixty ferocious and terrifying winged demons.
"Prepare a car and hang all the heads of these winged demons on the car!" Zhang Tie's voice contained an unconcealable murderous intent...
