Chapter 5 Docking
The tight cowhide rope popped forward, and Sun Hao's head was pressed tightly into the linen chair by the impact, and he felt his eyes pressed back into his head. The sitting machine was vibrating violently, and he kept moving forward along the wooden runway.
There was a sound of "Peng!" in my ears. The next moment, Sun Hao's vision was fascinated by the wind slowly returned to normal, and the mechanical kite had begun to soar in the blue sky.
Behind him, there were constantly ejected from the mechanical kite. The mechanical kite that Huo Feng and others were riding began to follow him. When Sun Hao was in the real world, he dreamed of taking a paraglider and other aircraft. Unfortunately, he had no time when he had money, but he had no money, so he could never make a journey.
Now holding the handrail of the seat, the hair was shattered by the strong wind coming towards us. My heart moved with the wind, and my whole heart expanded. I wish I could open my hands and hug the blue sky and the wisps of clouds beside me.
Sun Hao couldn't see the height of the flying of the mechanical kite, but he felt that all the people on the ground had turned into small black dots. But it was precisely because the people became smaller and their vision was infinitely wide, and the situation on the ground was even more spectacular at this time.
The Shu army, which had been lined up at Dingjun Mountain early in the morning, had approached Xiangyang City. Three large arrays of tens of thousands of people were oppressing the city of Xiangyang City. On both wings were rolling iron cavalry, with a huge thunder beast as high as a dozen people among them. The steel heavy infantry relied on the following small beasts to move forward neatly. Tens of thousands of people shouted to kill and rushed into the sky. Sun Hao's eyes were farther away, and the tall blue-gray city walls of Xiangyang City had already appeared there.
The wind blew from Xiangyang, and what was sent to Sun Hao's nose was a faint breath of fireworks. The bright sun rose from behind Sun Hao, sprinkling golden light on the heavy city wall. From time to time, there was a cold light of cold weapons in Xiangyang City, reflected by the sunlight, which was cold and cold to the eyes.
As in history, Cao Ren did not lead his army out of the city to meet the enemy, and the Guan Ping army, who was in charge of cutting off the enemy's retreat, began to merge with the Guan Yu army, who was responsible for cutting off the enemy's retreat, and his iron hooves rolled straight to the city of Xiangyang.
The mechanical bull flew to the front of the army and began to hover in a low altitude, waiting for the fireworks below. After a while, the Shu army suppressed its troops five miles below the city. A general rode alone toward Xiangyang City, and began to yell at the place where he had an arrow under the city.
In this array, three thin smokes rose gently, with two red and one green colors. This was a signal that had been agreed in advance. Of course, Sun Hao didn't know what these signals represented. The sergeant driving the mechanical bull in front pointed his ears with his fingers. The mechanical bull in the air flew through the wind, and the wind would blow away the words between Sun Hao and the pilot.
Looking at the driver pointing at his ear, Sun Hao found that he was wearing a small leather cover on his ear. He lowered his head and looked for it on the seat. Sure enough, there was a leather cover of the same type hanging on the left side. He carefully picked up the leather cover, which was connected to the driver's leather cover in front through a rope.
"Can you hear it, Lord God? Lord God?"
"Well, I heard it, just call me Sun Hao. What a divine messenger, it sounds awkward." The voice was not very clear, but at least I could hear it.
"It's not good! God's messenger,"
"Nothing is good or not, I'm not used to being a charlatan."
"Okay, Lord Sun Hao, the ground has issued instructions to conduct a siege first, let us fly around the air and wait for the opportunity."
"So, what they say, we will do what we do." Sun Hao didn't care about this, and he didn't put it down as soon as possible. He just had the opportunity to observe the defense of Xiangyang City.
"By the way, I said, what's your name? We are flying around in front of Xiangyang City. Do Wei have any aircraft? Or ground-to-air weapons or something?"
"Return to Master Sun Hao, the youngest is Wang Er. When it comes to Wei's aircraft, there are some. However, huh, with the clumsy steam equipment of Wei, even if it flies, it will be shot down by our light machine kites in a few minutes. I dare not say anything else, the air is definitely occupied by our Shu Kingdom."
Does Shu have absolute air supremacy? Just relying on this kind of mechanism, Sun Hao was happy. In modern warfare, having air supremacy is almost equivalent to seeing the dawn of victory, which is a great advantage.
The generals of the Shu army's yelling at the foot of the city showed their power. Finally, a rain of arrows shot down from the city, and the general had to retreat to the formation. Two red and one green fine smoke rose in the formation, and the color had begun to change, and all three fine smokes turned red.
"Sir Sun Hao, it seems that I can't fight for a while." Wang Er, who was driving the machine in front, saw that the thin smoke changed color and had already pulled the machine up.
"I'm going to return? What a pity! I thought there was a fight?" Sun Hao came to fight for the defeated Qianjun. Now he didn't even get a drop of blood on his hands, so he was about to go home.
Wang Er pulled up the mechanical kite and flew forty-five degrees to the upper left: "Sir, it's not that you want to return. The power provided by the mutated cowhide rope on our mechanical kite is insufficient, and you need to accumulate enough power again to complete it."
"Didn't you fly back to Dingjun Mountain to tighten the beef tendon rope plate?"
"Of course not. We are going to General Guan's Qinglong airship. Please sit down. There will be some risks when docking with the Qinglong airship later. If the docking error occurs, I will eject the adult."
While the two were talking, Sun Hao heard a faint roar coming from his head. He looked up and a huge shadow in the air covered half of the sky. The roar became louder and louder as the mechanical kite flew closer.
The Qinglong airship I saw yesterday was hovering in mid-air at this time, and hundreds of paddle paddles had stopped moving. The airship was rotating against the twenty-six flying paddle blades on the boat, providing the power to hang the airship in the air. The huge roar that Sun Hao just heard came from these twenty-six rotating paddle blades.
These blades are very similar to the helicopter wheels in the real world, but they are much larger than the blades on the helicopter. When you look closer, the entire Qinglong Airship looks very similar to the giants in science fiction blockbusters, giving people a very unreal sense of sight.
"The distance is 4,6 feet, and the relative speed is eight miles, and you are ready to connect." Wang Ershu held the joystick of the mechanical cork, his expression nervous, and his hands were even trembling a little.
For pilots in the machine, this kind of air docking is the most difficult thing to do. Even for veteran pilots like Wang Er who have been flying for five or six years, docking failure is common. There are too many variables such as wind power, wind direction, and relative speed. In addition to relying on long-term flight experience, there is also a certain amount of luck in it. All the pilots of the Shu army unanimously agreed that this kind of air docking is the most test of the pilot's strength. Those who can successfully docking are the top aces among pilots.
The mechanical bull began to fly closer to the Qinglong airship. More than a dozen docking holes were opened on the airship's body. Sun Hao could clearly see the open docking holes and the vague figures in the docking holes.
Although he was wearing a flying helmet, Wang Er was still dizzy by the huge roar of the Qinglong airship paddles. He tried hard to calm down and controlled the mechanical kite to prevent the airflow fanned out of the paddles. What he had to do next was like riding a fast-moving horse, simply relying on the reins in his hand to let the horse crash into the stitching rope.
Slow down the flight pedal and aim the nose of the machine kiln at the docking hole. The fuselage began to sway, approaching the airship.
"Right wing!" Sun Hao was also infected by Wang Er's expression at this time, and he was also staring at the surroundings carefully. Sun Hao's perception was far stronger than that of ordinary people. When Wang Er controlled the mechanical kite to connect, Sun Hao felt a gust of wind blowing from the left wing.
The gust of wind blew up and lifted the right wing of Jiguan Yuan up by about five or six centimeters. When Sun Hao shouted, Wang Er was shocked and pressed the joystick down. Jiguan Yuan rubbed the bottom of the Qinglong Airship and passed through the Feilong Airship.
Wang Er's head was covered with sweat. If Sun Hao hadn't called out that there was something wrong with the right wing just now, the mechanical kiln would have deviated from the docking hole in the sudden turbulence and finally hit the Qinglong airship directly.
"It's okay, just do it again. The gust of wind just now was really not the time." Sun Hao patted Wang Er's shoulder with his hand, and saw that Wang Er almost pressed the ejection button just now. Knowing that Wang Er was extremely nervous now, he spoke out to comfort Wang Er's emotions: "Believe in yourself, you can."
"Well," Wang Er nodded, clenched his lips with his teeth, not wanting to make a fool of himself in front of the Lord God's Envoy, but he would be worried about whatever he wanted. It's nothing to destroy his own machine, but if he implicates the Lord God's Envoy and further affects the course of the war, he will be redeemed for the last hundred deaths.
Flying around the air, he returned to the docking route: "The distance is 325 feet, the relative speed is 7 miles, and he is ready to dock." He glanced at the buoy and dragon grab on the left fuselage.
The float can calculate the relative speed, and the dragon grabs the four fingers and faces forward, indicating that the fuselage is stable and normal, and it can start docking.
Pull the joystick lightly and fly to the Qinglong Airship again.
Because of the previous emergency change, the power of the mechanical cork was originally insufficient, and Wang Er, who was a little confident, looked down at the beef tendon rope plate that provided power before the docking, and suddenly found that there were only one thousand turns on the beef tendon rope plate. If the docking failed this time, the remaining power would not be enough to support the next docking. At that time, Wang Er could only choose to force the landing. The only chance left for Wang Er was this.
But the turbulence that had just been scraped has not stopped yet. The success rate of the docking of the machine kite in the turbulence is extremely low, and it can only rely on luck.
