Du Qi became interested and ordered, "Let's go to your house to take a look."
A person like Wang Wenkai had the potential to be a master craftsman.
The premise was that it was true.
Hearing Du Qi's words, Wang Wenkai hurriedly said, "Yes, Ping Xiwang, follow me."
Du Qi looked at Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng and said, "You stay here and continue to preside. I will go with Wang Wenkai."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng nodded and replied.
The two of them had to preside over things now, so for the time being, they couldn't leave.
Du Qi took Mordor and a team of guards to Wang Wenkai's house. Wang Wenkai's house was in the southern part of Yiwu City, not in the northern part of the city.
It took some time to cross the northern part of the city. However, when they arrived at the Wang family, Du Qi was a little surprised. Because Wang Wenkai's house was quite remote, the house was very wide. After all, there was no one nearby.
Wang Wenkai explained, "Your Highness, our family originally lived in the northern part of the city. However, when I made farm tools and some other tables and chairs, it took a lot of time. Many times, I didn't go home until very late, so my family moved to the southern part of the city. Although it's a bit remote, the backyard is very wide. Especially, there's an area in the back mountain, which is enough for me to make some farm tools and other items. "
At the door, Wang Wenkai directly pushed the door open and led Du Qi inside.
In the courtyard, an old woman was picking vegetables. The old woman was at least sixty years old. After seeing Wang Wenkai, she said, "Erlang, who is this? Could it be that there's some business coming again? But didn't you say today that you wanted to recommend yourself to see if you can work in the Wang family? "
Wang Wenkai hurriedly said, "Mother, this is Ping Xiwang. His Highness came to the residence to see me, Mu Yuan. "
When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly stood up and bowed to Du Qi with a cautious look.
Du Qi said, "You don't have to be like this. You do your thing. Wang Wenkai and I will go to the backyard to see the utensils he made. You have raised a good son. It's really good. "
When the old woman heard this, she was overjoyed.
Wang Wenkai led Du Qi to the backyard. The backyard of this mansion was extremely spacious. After exiting the house, they went around the corridor and walked for a while before arriving at an extremely spacious backyard.
Wood was placed all over the place, and there were all sorts of objects. There were some extremely small flowers, birds, insects, and fish. There were also some wooden tables and stools, as well as some farming tools. There were even siege weapons.
In short, there were all kinds of miscellaneous items.
Wang Wenkai smiled and said, "I'm the only one in the backyard. It's a mess, Your Highness, please excuse me."
Du Qi said, "It doesn't matter. This King doesn't care about these things. As long as you have the ability, even if your place is as messy as a chicken coop, I don't care. Anyone with great talent will have some special hobbies and habits. That's very normal. "
Wang Wenkai said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, please follow me."
Wang Wenkai waved his hand and led Du Qi forward. They came to a single wooden house. This wooden house was connected to the backyard. However, after the wooden house's door was opened, the interior was clean and spotless.
Inside, there was a wood kite.
This wood kite was half the height of a person. Its shape was similar to a bird, but also similar to the plane of the future. The top of the wood kite had two wings. The two wings were slightly wide and could move. Other than that, there were many parts below.
Du Qi looked over and felt his scalp tingle. This was because it was a little complicated.
Du Qi asked, "Wang Wenkai, how does it take off?"
Wang Wenkai said, "Your Highness, there's a path in the backyard that leads to the back of the mountain. On the back of the mountain, there's a flat and empty space. Because of the serious desertification, no one planted anything. That's why I often go there to try. Your Highness, please follow me. "
Du Qi nodded.
He just needed to follow Wang Zikai.
Although the wood kite was rather huge, Wang Wenkai's figure was rather tall and sturdy. It was not particularly difficult for him to carry the wood kite. He just walked slowly.
Du Qi asked Mordor to help, but Wang Wenkai stopped him. However, Wang Wenkai said that the wood kite was an exquisite item. If he was not careful, it was very likely that the parts would be damaged. Therefore, he did not need Mordor's help.
Wang Wenkai said that he would be more at ease carrying it himself.
Du Qi did not care.
It took nearly half an hour to walk from the backyard to the back of the mountain. During this period, Wang Wenkai rested once before carrying the wood kite up the mountain. The empty space on the mountain was rather flat. It was at least the size of a football field. Although there were potholes and some undulating rocks, it was good enough for Wang Wenkai.
Wang Wenkai smiled and said, "Your Highness, every time the wood kite flies in the air, it will be damaged. Fortunately, these parts are easy to make. It's just a little troublesome. I'll demonstrate now. Just watch. "
He carried the wood kite on his head with both hands.
The wood kite's wings were flat.
There was a horizontal bar at the bottom. Wang Wenkai only needed to grab the horizontal bar. He exerted strength in his hands and quickly rushed forward. He rushed forward for a distance. Just as he was about to reach the edge, he grabbed the horizontal bar and pushed it forward.
Under the force of inertia, the wood kite flew out. After the wood kite flew out, under most circumstances, it should start to fall. However, at this moment, Du Qi noticed a detail.
The wood kite's wings rose slightly. When the wind blew, it had a supporting effect. The wood kite started to stagger and circle in the air.
Du Qi looked at this scene and smiled.
This wood kite was actually just a wooden kite. However, after being modified by Wang Wenkai, it could use a certain amount of wind power to blow in the air. With some mechanisms on the wood kite, it could circle for a while.
In the end, it would inevitably start to fall.
After all, it relied purely on wind power.
After circling for a while, the wood kite started to fall quickly. At this moment, Du Qi looked at Wang Wenkai and said, "Wang Wenkai, I have a rough understanding of your wood kite's situation. However, there is also a problem. For example, once the wood kite encounters the wind blowing from behind, it might fall forward. From the beginning, you have chosen the direction of the wind. "
When Wang Wenkai heard this, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Your Highness is wise!"
Du Qi said, "However, your wood kite has a benefit. Furthermore, it can be slightly improved."
Wang Wenkai said, "How can it be improved?"
Du Qi said, "The wood kite's wings and structure have to be changed. You can add dragon bones, tripods, and suspenders to make it more mobile. In addition, people can also operate the wood kite and glide with the help of the wind. "
Immediately, Du Qi began to explain.
The theory that Du Qi explained was actually based on the concept of a hang glider. This was because with the current technology, making hang gliders was already the limit. There was no better arrangement.
As Wang Wenkai listened, he became more and more delighted. His eyes shone brightly.
He had been making wood kites.
From the initial version until now, there were no less than ten versions. Even so, Wang Wenkai had never understood many of the production ideas of the wood kite until now.
Now that Du Qi said it, many ideas were inspired and he had ideas to break the original plan.
This was what Wang Wenkai liked the most.
However, with Du Qi here, Wang Wenkai suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurriedly nodded. After Du Qi finished explaining the overall situation of the hang glider, Wang Wenkai sighed and said, "I originally thought that I was proficient, but now I realize that in front of Your Highness, I'm just showing off. I'm really ashamed."
Du Qi said, "You're too humble. I just have some ideas. To really implement the production and operation, I still need a craftsman like you to do it."
Du Qi was determined to get Wang Wenkai.
This was a talent.
He needed such a craftsman.
