Chapter 858
After hearing Carpenter Xu's words, the audience immediately fell silent.Everyone focused on Carpenter Xu, quietly waiting for the next scene.

I saw Carpenter Xu approaching Emperor Chongzhen, bowed deeply, and when he straightened up again, his face was full of self-confidence: "I am really grateful to this young master for his righteous help. Next, please take a look at This speeding car of mine has spent more than ten years of hard work and continuous improvement, I believe that there should be no problem this time!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help admiring him.There are several people here for more than ten years, but this Carpenter Xu has been doing this all the time, constantly improving, and he really has great perseverance and the spirit of a professional scientific researcher, which is really good!

"How did you come up with this speeding car? It took you more than ten years!" Concubine Tian Gui was also surprised and couldn't help but interjected.

Hearing this voice, Carpenter Xu couldn't help being stunned. Concubine Tian Gui's voice is obviously a pleasant female voice.However, his interest seems to be only on his speeding car. Hearing this question, he was very excited, and immediately replied with a smile: "Our Suzhou area is full of rivers and rivers, and there are many ports and branches. The land transportation is inconvenient, so I wondered if I could There is a kind of car that can fly, so you don’t have to worry about the inconvenience of going out. Just now I saw it was mentioned in Baopu Zi, so I wanted to make this!”

If he has an idea, if he can make it, it will be a great charity for future generations, far better than those so-called "art" masters.Emperor Chongzhen liked Carpenter Xu even more, and when he was about to speak, the crowd seemed impatient and started booing.

"Idiot Xu, don't lie to outsiders, this thing of yours can't fly at all!"

"That's right, idiot Xu, you'd better be your carpenter honestly, don't be ashamed, and don't do your job properly!"

"Carpenter Xu, if you are capable, fly up and take a look, don't waste our time!"

"..."

After hearing this, Xu Zhengming couldn't help but glared at them and said, "Whoever said that they can't fly, look after you!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't even care about Emperor Chongzhen and the others, and walked straight to the arena.

His speeding car is shaped like a castellan chair (that is, an armchair), with a mechanism underneath, and the teeth are interlocked. When a person sits on that chair, he takes a deep breath, looks around everyone around him, and holds his head upright. Chest, as if to perform a very sacred thing, the feet began to exert force, and faster and faster.That is to say, when a person sits in a chair and hits the board with both feet, the machine moves up and down, and the wind turns sharply.

In Emperor Chongzhen's view, Carpenter Xu used the pedals with both feet to drive the bamboo dragonfly-like rotor to rotate through the speed-increasing gear, thereby generating lift and making the "speeding car" fly into the air.

Sure enough, as Carpenter Xu's movements became faster and faster, and the rotors turned faster and faster, his flying car staggered away from the ground under the eyes of everyone, and it actually flew up.Immediately, this fact caused a burst of exclamation.

"Wow, I really have to leave the ground!"

"It was successful this time? It's incredible!"

"That's right, can we humans really fly in the air? Haha!"

"..."

When the flying car was about three feet off the ground, Carpenter Xu swung a mechanism attached to the chair, and the other tail wing also started to rotate, but at the same time, the flying car dropped about two feet in vain, as if It was about to fall, and there was another burst of exclamation.

However, it didn't land at all, and was suspended in the air with about a foot left. As the tail turned faster and faster, the speeding car flew slowly towards the river beside it.The river is about two feet wide. It seems that Carpenter Xu just wants to drive his speeding car over this river.

The wind brought by the speeding car was so strong that it made everyone's clothes flutter.There were even a few people with hats who had to reach out and hold them down to keep from being blown away.At this time, almost everyone forgot to speak, and all stared at Carpenter Xu's speeding car, their faces full of disbelief.

Relatively speaking, Emperor Chongzhen was much less shocked by the speeding car in front of him. After all, he came from later generations. Let alone meeting him, he has all been on planes flying tens of thousands of miles high, and I don’t know how many times!

To be honest, although this speeding car is flying and driven by human power, it is obviously impossible to have much future.Unlike these seventeenth-century natives, who thought that if the flying car flew, would they be able to really fly in the air in the future?

I saw Carpenter Xu pedaling vigorously, and the speeding car moved slowly.Slowly, slowly, the speeding car finally flew over the river and was still moving slowly towards the opposite bank.

"Wow, I can really fly!" Finally, someone recovered from the initial surprise and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Hearing what he said, the people around him came back to their senses and praised him one after another.

Even Concubine Tian Gui became excited, turned her head to look at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Master, I also want to play with this speeding car?"

The dreamland of Feitian is what everyone wants.Emperor Chongzhen understood Concubine Tian Gui's wish, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a "pop", and saw a rotor on Carpenter Xu's flying car suddenly disconnected.Immediately, the flying car could no longer fly in the air, and fell into the river with a "plop".

"Ah..." At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, but they still didn't fly over!

So, the crowd of onlookers who were still praising and surprised just now started booing and laughing again.

"Haha, let me tell you, if people can fly in the sky, sows can climb trees!"

"Look, Idiot Xu is messing around again!"

"It's over, it's over, the show is over..."

"..."

While speaking, many people turned around and left.

At this time, someone also noticed the situation in the river. Carpenter Xu was thumping in the water, seemingly unable to swim.

At this time, the weather is March. Here in the south of the Yangtze River, although it is not as cold as in the north, the temperature is still here after all.Several people originally wanted to go down to save people, but hesitated.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he waved his hand quickly, and immediately two plainclothes guards in Jinyi who knew how to swim jumped into the river to save people without hesitation.Seeing this situation, finally a few onlookers gave Emperor Chongzhen a thumbs up, and the system also sounded a reminder to harvest achievement points.

After Xu Carpenter was rescued, instead of thanking Emperor Chongzhen, he pointed to the speeding car in the river and shouted hastily: "My car, my car..."

The two plainclothes guards turned their heads to look at Emperor Chongzhen's face, and then went down the river to retrieve his car.

Seeing this situation, Carpenter Xu was relieved a lot, and finally remembered something, and hurried to Emperor Chongzhen to thank him.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw him, he looked at the drenched carpenter Xu with a smile and asked, "You can't fly, do you still want to continue?"

　This is written according to the records of "Wu County Chronicle·Xiangshan Xiaozhi", and its authenticity is unknown.Judging from the modern situation, there is a Helicopter Association in the United States, which has set up the Sikorsky Award, requiring challengers to build a human-powered helicopter that can rise to 3 meters above the ground and hover in the air for more than 60 seconds. $25.This one was eventually picked up by a Canadian team.There are videos on the Internet, and that strange shape is not a helicopter at all.Therefore, everyone should take a look at this helicopter in the late Ming Dynasty, and don’t pay attention to the details. After all, this is a novel, not a scientific paper.
