More than half a month passed, and Li Qi's paraglider project finally ushered in its first round of testing.
I found a hillside that was not too high in the suburbs and placed bags of cotton at the foot of the hillside.
Li Qi tied the prepared paraglider to a soldier and said, "Do you remember the operating instructions I told you?"
This soldier was a school captain with excellent qinggong skills. Huang Jin specially sent him to Li Qi to conduct experiments.
His name is Tian Hangnan, he is a relatively trustworthy person around Huang Jin, and he has high prestige among the Imperial Guards.
Tian Hangnan smiled and nodded: "Master Li, I have written it all down."
Li Qi nodded and warned: "If something unexpected happens when you slide down, just cut off the rope and jump into the cotton pile. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Okay, you should be prepared first and act according to the signal later."
"good."
After getting ready, Li Qi went to the open space not far away.
Huang Jin looked at Li Qi coming over and asked, "Are you ready?"
Li Qi nodded: "That's almost it."
"This thing can really make people fly?" Huang Jin still couldn't believe it.
Li Qidao: "If nothing else happens, it should be fine."
Huang Jin glanced at the hilltop that was more than ten meters high, and then at the cotton pile below the hilltop. He still felt a little worried: "Brother, this Tian Hangnan is my confidant..."
"Brother Huang, don't worry. I've already told him. If it doesn't work, just jump into the cotton pile. You won't die."
Huang Jin took a deep breath, still feeling a little uneasy.
If it weren't for Li Qi's invention of the "petroleum bomb", to be honest, he really didn't want to risk his soldiers.
In Huang Jin's opinion, most of the most powerful qinggong in the world are borrowed from foreign objects.
For example, step on something and use your strength to climb.
If you want to jump from the ground, you can only reach a height of three or four meters at most.
But there are only a few people with such skill.
Seeing Huang Jin's worried look, Li Qi said: "Brother Huang, if anything happens to Brother Tian, I will support him for the rest of his life."
Huang Jin smiled bitterly: "Since I have said so, then even my mother-in-law and mother-in-law will look stingy, so let's get started."
Li Qi said: "Okay."
He nodded to a guard on the side, and the guard raised a red flag and waved it towards Tian Hangnan who was not far away.
Tian Hangnan nodded and began to arrange the paraglider. Then he ran quickly, and the paraglider behind him instantly rose.
His speed became faster and faster, and finally he jumped off the mountain with a sudden leap.
Everyone broke into a cold sweat when they saw him jumping down from the top of the mountain.
Li Qi is no exception. After all, this is his first time paragliding.
Grandma, you must succeed!
After the huge paraglider was unfolded, the word "Qi" was printed on it.
Li Qi also gave his homemade paraglider a name that he thought was very domineering: "Flying Dragon in the Sky!"
"Fly! Really fly!!"
Suddenly someone shouted.
Everyone looked at Tian Hangnan flying in the air in disbelief. Huang Jin was also a little dumbfounded. This man was dumbfounded.
Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Grandma, my young master's hard work for so long was finally not in vain!
Just as everyone was cheering, a gust of north wind blew past. In this weather, this wind undoubtedly made people feel cool.
However, Tian Hangnan, who was in the air, was caught off guard by the wind, and the paraglider was blown a little crookedly. In a hurry, he yanked the operating rope.
It was a good thing that he didn't pull it, but this pull caused the paraglider to spin in the air and immediately lose its balance.
Tian Hangnan secretly thought that something was wrong. He was about to lose his direction. He quickly pulled out his dagger to cut off the rope and jumped into the cotton pile.
All this happened very quickly, in the blink of an eye, Tian Hangnan was like a kite with its string cut off, falling into a pile of cotton.
The people below looked at this scene and all exclaimed!
Li Qi was also stunned for a moment, how could this happen?
"Quick, go over and see if anyone is alright!" Li Qi shouted and quickly rushed towards the pile of cotton.
When he came to the cotton pile, Tian Hangnan crawled out from it with a look of embarrassment.
"This subordinate deserves to die!" Tian Hangnan said as he knelt down on one knee in front of Li Qi with a guilty look on his face.
"What's going on?" Li Qi asked.
Tian Hangnan told him about his mistake just now, and Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief after listening.
Fortunately it wasn't the paraglider's problem.
After Huang Jin heard this, he shouted: "How do you do things? Do you know that the flying dragon in the sky is the brainchild of Mr. Li?"
"This subordinate deserves to die."
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "Brother Huang, don't blame him, just be fine. Flying dragons can still be made in the sky, this time it's my problem."
"What's your problem?" Huang Jin was a little confused.
Li Qi nodded: "This is Brother Tian's first time trying this thing, so he will inevitably be in a hurry. If he had trained for a certain period of time in advance, he wouldn't be like this."
Huang Jin said: "Didn't Brother Li train him before?"
Li Qidao: "That training was just operational training, there was no flight training."
"Flight training?"
Li Qi knew that he wouldn't be able to explain it to him for a while, so he said: "In this way, Brother Huang will select a hundred elite soldiers. After one month, I promise to give you a flying team."
After seeing how Tian Hangnan flew into the sky today, Huang Jin was full of confidence in Li Qi and nodded: "Okay! I will pick out the people for you today."
…
The next day, all the one hundred people selected by Huang Jin were in place.
Li Qi looked at the people in front of him. They were all strong and strong.
According to Huang Jin, these people are veterans who have fought with him for many years.
Not only are they rich in combat experience, but they are all very skilled.
In terms of physical fitness, these people should be qualified, but their adaptability needs to be trained next.
Li Qi had someone make a "solid gun". The so-called solid gun was something he knew from watching TV series before.
This is a fixed roller. People sit on the fixed roller and rotate quickly. This is also one of the required courses for pilots.
The main purpose is to familiarize people with the feeling of weightlessness and resist dizziness.
When the craftsmen were asked to make the solid roller, everyone looked at it in confusion.
Tian Hangnan volunteered to go up and try it, but after more than a dozen laps, he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and west.
"Starting from today, I will give you ten days. Everyone must complete thirty rounds of fifty." Li Qi said to everyone.
Although they didn't know what Mr. Li was doing with this weird thing, everyone obeyed seriously.
"Captain Tian, I will leave their training to you from now on. If anyone fails to meet the standard in ten days, I will only ask you." Li Qi said seriously.
