Chapter 292: The First Step to Change the World, the Privilege of Geniuses

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work!"

Upon hearing these words, Liang Ming, a second-class craftsman, felt that all the grievances and bitterness he had endured were worth it, despite his anxiety.

To be honest, both he and his master were marginalized figures in the Heavenly Craftsmen Hall, constantly subjected to various forms of exclusion and suppression, both overt and covert.

Although the Internal Affairs Hall had informed the Heavenly Craftsmen Hall to do their best to fulfill all of Cheng's envoy's requests, Liang Ming and his master still faced many subtle difficulties.

For example, when they went to the warehouse to collect materials, they often received inferior quality ones.

And when they applied for funding and resources, it was always delayed.

There were also various hurtful rumors and gossip, which were even more abundant.

Phrases like "Why waste time on useless toys instead of doing proper work?" were considered relatively polite.

Statements like "A great craftsman and a master craftsman, not doing their job properly just to please the envoy, causing other craftsmen to work overtime every day, truly shameless" were even more common.

In short, these days were truly difficult to endure.

Now, Liang Ming sincerely hoped that the internal combustion engine designed by the envoy could be released soon, and that the bomber could take to the skies as well.

At this moment, Cheng Han circled around the experimental aircraft and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Very good!"

Liang Ming smiled awkwardly.

Although Cheng Han had previously instructed them to only conduct a few simple experiments and not waste too much effort on building a prototype, this experimental aircraft was exceptionally refined, with every detail meticulously handled.

Take, for example, the surface of the wings, which appeared smooth and without a single dent, showcasing an extremely high level of craftsmanship.

Cheng Han walked to the front of the experimental aircraft and forcefully turned the propeller.

"Whoosh~"

A whistling sound rang out.

The propeller began to spin rapidly.

The appearance of this experimental aircraft was highly consistent with the metal monoplane fighter in the simulation.

In order to accommodate vertical takeoff and landing, the landing gear had been greatly simplified. Since they had not yet developed an internal combustion engine, a power device similar to a bicycle had been installed.

Cheng Han smiled and said, "Let's proceed with the first verification."

Only he understood that this was a historic experiment, one that heralded the common people stepping onto the stage of history.

The group of apprentices had no idea that they were witnessing history.

They were simply curiously watching this scene, secretly guessing how this big toy would be played with.

That's right!

It was a toy!

Within the Heavenly Craftsmen Hall, almost everyone believed that this was a big toy created by the envoy to satisfy his strange hobby, and that the Heavenly Craftsmen Hall was forced to produce it.

But for the genius Xuan Shi who had caused a sensation in the entire Xuan Palace and was highly favored by the Palace Lord, the Heavenly Craftsmen Hall could only turn a blind eye and complain in private at most.

"Clap!"

Cheng Han snapped his fingers.

"Whoosh~"

The spirit rubber creatures immediately started shaking, actively responding.

A large number of branches rapidly extended, instantly forming a soft ladder and setting it up between the ground and the cockpit.

Cheng Han confidently stepped on the ladder and quickly climbed into the cockpit, taking a seat in the pilot's chair.

This scene couldn't help but make the apprentices envious.

Cheng Han grasped the control stick, placed his feet on the pedals, and lightly shouted, "Take off!"

More spirit rubber creatures suddenly moved.

Countless branches swayed over, forming a giant net beneath the aircraft, lifting the entire experimental aircraft half a meter off the ground.

The apprentices became even more curious.

What did the envoy want to do?

In the next moment.

"Whoosh!"

A whistling sound was heard.

The spirit rubber creatures suddenly exerted force, vigorously throwing the experimental aircraft high into the sky.

Originally, according to the plan, the aircraft would use the agile Xuan Formation for takeoff and landing, converting the source energy into kinetic energy, so that the acceleration would be instantaneous and the pilot wouldn't feel it.

But due to the limitations of the experiment conditions, they could only use a simplified version of vertical takeoff and landing for now.

"Oh my god!"

"Oh my goodness!"

The group of apprentices exclaimed in shock.

But Liang Ming clenched his fists, his face filled with anticipation.

This craftsman knew very well that this experimental aircraft was specially designed by Cheng Han based on the inspiration from the "paper airplane".

When Liang Ming first heard about this from his master, he even pondered over the design of a bomber based on this concept.

Later, when the master and apprentice saw the design drawings sent by Cheng Xuan Shi, especially the ingeniously designed propeller drive system, they were greatly impressed.

Truly a genius!

To be able to excel in both Xuan Shi techniques and craftsmanship!

At this moment.

In the sky.

"Whoosh~"

The spirit rubber demons waved their branches together, seemingly expressing a sense of celebration.

The apprentices all tilted their heads back, mouths wide open.

Oh my god!

A metal shell, actually able to fly?!

Cheng, the envoy, is really good at playing!

Liang Ming couldn't contain his excitement.

It's flying!

From its flying posture, the experimental aircraft demonstrated great stability, and such a complex design actually succeeded on the first try!

It's truly amazing!

Liang Ming couldn't help but turn his head towards the direction of the Heavenly Workshop and whispered in his heart, "Master was right, bombers are not just a fantasy, but a completely achievable concept!"

In the sky.

Cheng Han looked down at the scenery below, his lips curling slightly. "This is the first step in changing the world, I suppose."

He roughly sensed it and murmured, "The speed is close to 200 kilometers per hour, barely acceptable."

Converted, that's about 50 meters per second.

Compared to it, it's only about one-third of a Xuan Shi's Wind Control Flight.

Cheng Han silently said, "Simulate!"

Countless stars appeared in the sky.

A halo followed suit.

A large amount of information flashed through the screen.

This was the massive amount of data collected by the All-Knowing Eye from this experiment.

After a dozen seconds.

Cheng Han once again silently said, "Optimize!"

In the center of the halo, new streams of information immediately surged.

Among them were knowledge of aerodynamics, as well as various optimization schemes for aerodynamic shapes.

This was the core purpose of this experiment.

Since there was no wind tunnel to blow, they could just fly directly.

There was no other way.

Because this world did not have this set of knowledge system.

The All-Knowing Eye couldn't find relevant information, so it had to accumulate data through actual experiments.

Cheng Han manually adjusted the direction rudder and controlled the experimental aircraft towards the First Ring of Heaven.

The Xuan Palace stipulated that only Xuan Shi and above were allowed to control Wind Control Flight below the First Ring.

But it did not prohibit aircraft from flying.

Cheng Han smiled, "Let's play it safe, no one can say anything."

If other Xuan Shi played like this, they might be criticized.

But geniuses have privileges, what is there to be afraid of?

Cheng Han muttered to himself, "Today, I'll leave a preliminary impression on the Xuan Shi of the Xuan Palace, although it won't be a good one."

He smirked, "When the real fighter jets come out in the future, faster than a Xuan Shi's Wind Control Flight by a large margin, I'll surprise you all again."

The character "甲" forms a celestial ring.

The Hall of Heavenly Enlightenment.

Since the emergence of Special Envoy Cheng, the mystics in this hall have paid special attention to him.

This is normal.

This talented mystic didn't stay long in the Celestial Palace before defeating a steward mystic of this hall and sending him to the battlefield in another realm.

This incident left a deep impression on everyone, making it difficult for them to ignore.

At this moment.

A small black dot flying from the Spirit Oak Demon Tree Forest quickly caught the attention of the mystics.

As the small black dot flew towards this direction, the mystics whispered to each other.

"I inquired about it. It's a toy made by the Hall of Celestial Crafts under Special Envoy Cheng's orders."

"It can actually fly in the sky. It's quite interesting!"

"Interesting? The mystics can easily catch up and destroy it with a single strike. It's completely useless!"

The crowd stood behind the large glass window, watching the test machine fly to the edge of the celestial ring, circle in the sky, and then fly back to the Spirit Oak Demon Tree Forest.

The mystics withdrew their gaze and resumed their quiet discussion.

"During this period of time, I remember that Special Envoy Cheng only went to the Hall of Lineage twice. The rest of the time, he stayed in the Spirit Oak Demon Tree Forest."

"How is this the way to comprehend the mystic seal?"

"But he's a genius who can manipulate the spiritual tide. He has the qualifications to be willful!"

"Yes! Even the Palace Master wouldn't say anything!"

Jinshan Palace.

The Palace Master of the Celestial Palace, Yun Changtian, also learned about the test machine.

As the Palace Master, he had more information than the mystics.

Yun Changtian muttered with some doubt, "A bomber? It flies so slowly and hardly has any combat value. Is this really feasible?"

The Chief Mystic hesitated for a moment and immediately made a decision in his heart, "Considering the genius's potential, let's make a small investment."

He revealed a cunning smile, "Even if there are no results, it's just a waste of some resources. But if it really succeeds, it will be an accomplishment!"

In the afternoon of that day.

Liang Ming learned a piece of news from his master.

"Just now, the Palace Master issued an order to establish a research institution, which will be managed by Special Envoy Cheng. We have been transferred to this institution."

This second-class artisan was a little confused and didn't quite understand the significance of this.

The Master Artisan explained more specifically, "The funding and resources of this institution will come directly from the Internal Affairs Hall, so there's no need to deal with the Hall of Celestial Crafts."

Liang Ming finally understood and smiled so much that his face distorted, "So you mean we won't be restricted by the Hall of Celestial Crafts anymore?"

The Master Artisan nodded heavily, his tone no longer carrying the frustration of the past, "We will follow Special Envoy Cheng to accomplish great things. In the future, this research institution can swallow up the Hall of Celestial Crafts."

As long as they create a bomber and truly demonstrate its combat value, the Celestial Palace will definitely provide people and resources, and merging with the Hall of Celestial Crafts will be a piece of cake.

Liang Ming burst with strong fighting spirit and said fiercely, "In the future, we must sweep those old dogs out the door."

The "old dogs" he referred to were the group of senior artisans from the Hall of Celestial Crafts who had been excluding him and his master.
