Zhang Tie could definitely lift about 1000 kg. It was just as heavy as a super heavy battle hammer. Additionally, he could also reach the dragging speed of the car yesterday. On the premise that the two conditions could be met, why not try to modify the glider so that it could adapt to his ability and play a greater role on the battlefield?
If this modification was successful, Zhang Tie would be able to fly off from the ground at any time as long as there was a hillside in the entire Selnes Theater of Operations. His combat ability of driving a glider would be improved once again.
The engineers of the Glider Base of Hoorn Republic soon understood Zhang Tie's idea. After hearing Zhang Tie's idea, those engineers became excited as they started to work soon.
As Zhang Tie said that he would soon use this glider, the sooner the better, the engineers of the Hoorn Republic didn't build a new glider; instead, they started to implement Zhang Tie's idea on a very mature and excellent glider.
A brand-new WindTalker II single-seat glider was pulled out of the warehouse of the Glider Base by engineers and torn off its cover. Right in the warehouse, it was dismantled by engineers one part after another. They started to modify it.
...
When the engineers were modifying it, Colonel Halson took Zhang Tie into an office in the base. The moment Zhang Tie entered the office, he had been startled by the items inside. When he entered the room, Zhang Tie almost wondered why Colonel Halson took him into the utility room.
Almost half of the room was filled with hats. There were notebooks, small models of gliders, and awards and so on.
Colonel Howson smiled embarrassedly. "Since I saw you yesterday, those bastards outside have been asking for your autograph. It's going to be a mess today, so I asked someone to bring their stuff here. You see..."
Zhang Tie revealed a smile. "No problem. After all, I have some time now. I will satisfy their wishes here!"
"That's great!" Colonel Hawson became thrilled as he immediately called in two fighters from the base and told them to help Zhang Tie do this.
There were over 1,000 items in the room. Looking at those pens, Zhang Tie rubbed his face. After rubbing his face, Zhang Tie found a chair in the room and sat down. After taking a deep breath, he started to move his hands.
Because Zhang Tie always treated himself as a commoner, he knew what those commoners thought about him. Therefore, Zhang Tie was very serious about this.
Zhang Tie didn't just sign his name; instead, he left a sentence.
"I salute the human warriors who fought side by side with me in Selnes Theater of Operations — — Zhang Tie!"
During those years in Blackhot City. Although Zhang Tie's performance at school was not outstanding, under the strict request of his parents, he could write Chinese cursive pretty well. At this moment, his handwriting was full of a combination of dexterity and strength..
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Throughout the morning, Zhang Tie didn't even eat lunch; instead, he just signed his name seriously. Colonel Howson came to see Zhang Tie for a few times. However, at the sight of Zhang Tie's solemn look, he left many words on each item meticulously. Especially after some advisers who understood Hua language translated Zhang Tie's words, Colonel Howson's eyes turned wet.
It was almost 2 pm when Zhang Tie finally signed all the documents. The WindTalker II single-seat glider, which had been fixed by the engineers for the whole morning, had been put on the runway of the base after being modified. The grey-blue camouflage on the fuselage of the glider could play a very good concealment effect in the sky.
Given its look, this modified WindTalker II single-seat glider was almost nothing different than the unmodified WindTalker II single-seat glider. The difference between the two could only be seen in the cockpit.
At this moment, there was an almost 80 cm long and 50 cm wide arc-shaped opening under the cockpit of this modified WindTalker II single-seat glider. Additionally, there were two more concave metal handles on the left and right sides of the cockpit of the pilot seat.
The engineer in charge of the modification introduced it to Zhang Tie.
"On the premise of not increasing the weight of the glider, we have strengthened the bearing structure of the frame of the glider. You can lift the entire glider by the two dented metal handles in the cockpit. Thankfully, the position of the cockpit is the geometric center of gravity of the entire glider. As a result, you only need to bear the weight of this glider when you lift it. You don't need to bear the burden of increasing the strength of your hands due to the leverage coefficient."
"We have made an opening at the bottom of the cockpit so that you could stretch out your feet for the convenience of running. We have turned this opening into a movable one. There's a manual switch in the cockpit. When you fly in the sky, you can retract your feet and pull it by hand. Then, this metal sliding cover will close once again. It will not influence your flight, rest, nor the speed of this glider!"
"If you want to achieve this effect, you need to adjust some linkage devices of the glider. The hard seat on the glider is no longer usable. We have replaced it with a foldable seat for you. This foldable seat is a bit more comfortable than the hard seat. Besides, the flight ability and driving mode of the glider remain unchanged. Neither do you have any change in your mobility in the cockpit."
"Thanks. You're very great! "Zhang Tie nodded satisfactorily after looking at them. "Can I have a try now?"
Meng Dou nodded in agreement. Zhang Tie directly jumped into the cockpit of the glider. Holding the two concave metal handles, he lifted the glider off the ground. The entire glider weighed about 800 kg, which was nothing for Zhang Tie.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was stepping on the ground and steadily lifting the glider by both hands. Like what he said in the morning, it was like lifting a huge metal underwear in the shape of an airplane.
Zhang Tie tried to run a couple of steps. He found that he was not influenced to run at all except for waving his arms.
After slightly adjusting it, Zhang Tie started to run against the wind with the glider at his full speed. Only after 10 seconds, he had reached above 60 km/h.
After running, Zhang Tie felt that the glider's wings started to lift due to the different airflow velocity. As a result, the weight of the glider was constantly decreasing.
After running for hundreds of meters, being blown by the airflow below the hillside, the glider had already tried to lift Zhang Tie's feet off the ground. After doing this for two times, Zhang Tie's feet finally left the ground. After two tries, Zhang Tie felt that the glider had completely lifted him off the ground and flew towards the sky. Zhang Tie rapidly drew back his feet and put them back on the pedals. Then, he quickly closed the metal sliding cover with one hand and sat back down on the seat. He then started to drive normally.
All the engineers on the ground started to cheer and applaud fervently.
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie landed his glider on the runway once again. All the engineers swarmed up and completed the final modification for Zhang Tie's glider. According to Zhang Tie's request, they added two external weapon racks outside the cockpit where he could reach out his hands. Each of the two weapon racks could hold 6 1.1 m long metal javelins, which would be Zhang Tie's weapon to deal with LV 10 wing demons in the sky.
After completing these modifications, the entire Glider Base became boisterous. Because all the fighters in the base had received Zhang Tie's signature. Zhang Tie's words were a great commendation and encouragement for each of them. As a result, the morale of the entire Glider Base reached its peak at once.
These engineers were introverted in the base. Therefore, they were not included in Zhang Tie's signature. After knowing that Zhang Tie had left a very meaningful souvenir for them, all the engineers revealed admiring looks.
Zhang Tie noticed their expressions. When some engineers took out a notebook and wanted Zhang Tie to sign it, Zhang Tie made the last request to all the engineers who participated in the modification of the glider, "Thanks for what you've done for me today. This glider will be my battle partner in Selnes Theater of Operations from now on. If I have such a great honor, I hope you could sign your name and leave your name on the fuselage of this glider forever. It's a souvenir for me so that I could remember you when I drive this glider. I promise each of you that I will kill a wing demon as a gift for each of you!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, all the engineers felt their blood boiling in their chests. An unprecedented sense of pride and honor made many of them drop tears out of excitement.
It was the highest honor and commendation for an engineer to leave their name on the glider driven by Selnes Eagle.
...
Finally, after leaving a precious group photo with those commissioned officers and engineers in the base in front of this glider, Zhang Tie left by the airship with the 27 engineers' names on it in the evening.
Zhang Tie didn't return to the Crystal Battle Fortress; instead, he had the airship fly towards the north.
After one day and one night, the Idiots airship returned to the Crystal Battle Fortress with over 60 grim and terrifying wing demons' heads.
"Prepare a vehicle. Hang all the heads of these wing demons on it!" Zhang Tie's voice contained an unconcealable killing intent …
