Han Huaiyi started out as a glider with huge wings.

This kind of aircraft with a huge wingspan was only the basis of flying clubs in later generations, and it was equivalent to the existence of adult toys.

Because of the popularization of science and technology, some private interest enthusiasts can make it, but it is not the case now.

Because it was not easy for the Wright brothers' thinking to upgrade from "flapping wings" to the fixed-wing stage.

If you know the history of flying machines, you will know that Birdman is not a curse, but a testament to the spirit of warriors and scientific sacrifice.

When humans applied for the right to soar in the sky, they began by imitating the movements of birds.

So the Wright Brothers' aircraft was originally designed with two wings that could flutter up and down.

It's weird that you can fly like that.

Then they started the fixed-wing design and were barely able to glide a few meters...

Han Huaiyi didn't know where they were at the moment, so just in case, he then came up with a fixed-wing + front-mounted propeller combination.

This model is also very easy to make, with a propeller attached to the female rubber head rope that was already available in this year.

When it is twisted to the limit and released, the propeller spun at a rapid pace.

Because of the wheels, Curtis could clearly see the propeller driving the plane forward, and Han Huaiyi asked him: "If you install a motorcycle engine and use the power of the fuel engine to blow air behind the fuselage like an electric fan, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Curtis was now fascinated by him, and nodded very enigmatically.

Ford also said on the side: "Charlie, if you can consider the center of gravity and reasonably increase the blade surface of the propeller, your plan must be feasible." ”

At this time, Curtis suddenly said: "What if the engine goes off during the flight?" ”

Can you speak? Han Huaiyi glanced at him, picked up a pen and paper, brushed and drew a twin-engine double-helix plane: "Do you want to give you insurance?" Although this design increases the weight of the aircraft, the twin engines will provide more power, right? ”

"And what, what else?" Curtis was crazy, he wanted to pull Han Huaiyi's head open to see what else was inside.

The emotion burning in the eyes of this thing at this moment is called "fanatic"!

This is because if the Wright brothers were the pioneers of flying, Curtis was the hero who really popularized flying.

He has a fanatical affection for the cause and is willing to share rather than cherish it.

Compared to Curtis, the Wright brothers in history later became the limit of their flying career!

Therefore, Han Huaiyi, who understands the history of the development of flying machines, hit it off with Curtis and retains his equity.

Seeing that he was so studious, Han Huaiyi didn't mind continuing to show off.

So he quickly came up with various concepts.

For example, single-seater aircraft, two-seater aircraft, forward-swept wings, backward-swept wings, and finally he played with his heart and drew a straw hat casually.

It's too much of a joke.

Curtis looked confused and asked him what it was.

"Oh, this thing is an interstellar vehicle from the distant Orion civilization."

Han Huaiyi snorted, and then this shameless thing suddenly changed to a low tone, and he said faintly: "Stupid human, I have seen things that you can't believe, the battleship is burning at the edge of Orion, and the C-rays are shining in the darkness near the stargate, but all these moments will be lost in the torrent of time, like tears in the rain...... That's where I can't go back to... ”

He still looked up at the sky forty-five degrees!

Suppose someone in the deep-sea area of the Pacific Ocean in 1905.

After coming up with a series of epoch-making designs, he suddenly said to you this kind of poem-like lines, full of grandiose, sad, melancholy, deep and mysterious historical flavor.

Just ask if you're afraid, if you're afraid!

Ford and Curtis's hairs stood on end in panic.

Only the fish is very calm, the young master is deceiving people again, this dead ghost!

Han Huaiyi then stared at Ford coldly: "Human, hand over your bank account password and your little pink panties." ”

Ford hurriedly covered his belt, and Curtis finally reacted, he complained: "Charlie, this joke is not funny, I almost took it seriously." ”

Ford also moved his fist at him for the first time, and Han Huaiyi laughed and said, "Okay, let's make the dream come true as soon as possible, let's start building a bigger toy now." ”

This afternoon.

When the glider, which was about one meter long and had a wingspan of almost two meters, flew far, far away on the blue sea, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

Some people think it's a novelty toy, while others know it's the beginning of a great thing.

But Han Huaiyi is not a professional after all, so he emphasized to them very seriously: "We must seize the time to hire excellent physicists to participate in the design, the development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, a good idea may start a great cause, but what can really turn a seed into a big tree is always scientific knowledge." ”

Seeing him mention this, Ford suddenly asked, "How is Mr. Tesla in New York?" I have some friendship with him. ”

Han Huaiyi was taken aback, because he didn't expect Ford and Tesla to have a relationship.

Ford explained that he had been in contact with Tesla at an early age.

He thought he was a talented man and was treated a lot unfairly.

He felt that Charlie had the ability to help him, and it would be a strong combination.

Tesla is in a bad position at the moment.

In addition to Edison's blow, the reason for this was that Makeney completed the transatlantic radio transmission ahead of schedule, causing Morgan to withdraw his investment in Tesla.

Now Tesla is barely supporting its business on the cost of its AC motor patents — the Worden Crevert Tower on the edge of Long Island in New York.

But from this year onwards, his patents will expire, and Tesla will have to go around "breaking the fate".

Although Ford has a friendship with him, he is not a philanthropist, before he came into contact with Han Huaiyi, his career was only in cars, but now he feels that the world is so vast.

So he made a suggestion to Han Huaiyi.

But Han Huaiyi's reaction surprised him a little, and Han Huaiyi immediately said when he heard this: "No, that's too high-end, I'll keep a distance and look up to some god-like existences." ”

He was telling the truth, because Noshi told him that the great god was not easy for ordinary people to use.

Ford insisted: "Charlie, believe me, you can touch it." He's a great guy and deserves to be taken seriously. ”

A friend's insistence can change the development of things, and Han Huaiyi had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll go back and see him." ”

Little did he know that on this very day, a desperate and unkempt man ran to Curtis's motorcycle factory, and his name was Nikolai. Tesla.
