Chapter 93
When Chen Yi saw the store owner's expression, he felt something was wrong.
Extreme sports in this world are far behind those on Earth. Wingsuits may not have even appeared yet. If you don’t have equipment, it’s useless to have skills. You can only choose paragliding.
With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, he gestured and said:"It is worn on the body, and the legs and arms are sewn to be able to contract freely, similar to the flying wings of a bat." The shop owner was stunned for a moment, and said He looked like he suddenly realized:"Are you talking about the flying squirrel suit?"
Chen Yi's eyes lit up. The earth wing suit once seemed to have the name flying squirrel suit. The name is not the point. He nodded and said:"It should be, you have one here?"
The store owner glanced at Chen Yi suspiciously and walked into the store to rummage around. After a while, he pulled out a box and while unpacking it, he said:"This thing is quite unpopular. If you ask elsewhere, why don't you ask? It's really not necessarily possible. If I had come a month earlier, I probably wouldn't have had it. I was fooled by the salesman, so I bought a small amount of goods. But when I recruited people, I found that no one dared to come. After careful investigation, I found out that this This thing can only be used at high altitudes. Although the top of our mountain is high, it is not high enough. What do you want this for?"
The box was opened and the store owner took one out to show Chen Yi. Chen Yi unfolded it and his eyes lit up.. Yes, this is indeed a wing suit. Looking at the quality, it’s pretty good.
It seems that the development of wingsuit equipment in this world is still good. It is estimated that many people try the thrill of flying at high altitude, but no one has used it at low altitude.
It can be said that Chen Yi was lucky enough to be able to find the wingsuit here. He suspected that this was because the system selected the route. The system said that it had gone through information collection and sorting, and then interfered with the program team's selected route. It even caused a landslide. It can be predicted to a certain extent, so it is not difficult to find a place with wingsuits.
"I'm 1.8 meters tall, is there anything in my size?"Chen Yi asked
"Yes, yes, but you haven't said why you want this thing? Although this thing is called the closest thing to pure flight equipment for humans, it can actually only glide down in the high altitude. Like a flying squirrel, it can't really fly. Don't be like me before. I heard that this thing is cool, but I don't understand it at all. I just want to use it, it will kill people. The founder of this thing died while experimenting with this thing. If you have good skydiving skills, you can play at high altitudes, but you can't do it on this mountain."The store owner said.
Obviously, the store owner took out the equipment to show that he had it, and he had the mentality of someone asking for something he couldn't sell, but if it was really used by Chen Yi, that would be another matter. After all, This thing is not a joke. If he doesn't explain the danger clearly, he will be responsible for the death.
Chen Yi hesitated for half a second and decided not to tell the truth. If he told him that he would jump off the cliff wearing a wing suit, then It would really scare people to death, so he probably wouldn’t dare to do it.
Wingsuit flying can also be divided into high altitude and low altitude. The risk is not high at high altitudes, just like skydiving. You have a lot of time to do whatever you want in the middle, and you just need to successfully open the parachute.
At low altitude, the risk is even worse than skydiving. According to statistics, as of 2012, there were less than 600 people in the world who dared to try this risky action. It is widely considered to be the craziest thing in the world. Extreme sports can be called the extreme of extreme sports.
However, its charm still attracts countless people. Even those who dare not play are fascinated by it. Chen Yi likes many extreme sports, but if he wants to ask which one he likes the most, he You may subconsciously think of wingsuit flying, because this sport is so cool. Human beings all have dreams of flying, and so does Chen Yi. Although airplanes, skydiving, paragliding, etc. can be considered flying, they are still different from real life after all. There is a difference in flying. Wingsuit flying is infinitely close to pure flying, the most perfect dream of flying that humans can achieve. However, in his previous life, Chen Yi did not fly in a wingsuit many times. It was not that he did not want to play, but because he did not have enough money. Wingsuit flying not only requires courage, but also money. Because first of all, you have to practice high-altitude skydiving. 200 times is the basis for wingsuit flying. Each high-altitude skydiving requires the participation of basic equipment such as helicopters, resulting in a single high-altitude skydiving. It requires a capital investment of at least tens of thousands of yuan, 200 times is three to five million.
Other training expenses, trainer fees, etc. are not a small amount. In addition, flight suits, professional helmets, parachutes, etc. are another large amount. It was a huge investment.
In a word, it was a waste of money. In his previous life, Chen Yi had just completed the basics of skydiving and wingsuit flying had only entered the primary stage. He had not had time to try more.
Now that God has given him one more chance, there is no way he will not try. That makes sense.
Chen Yi said:"I plan to use a paraglider, but I want an extra layer of protection. I want a set of wingsuits and parachutes. Doesn't it mean that all the equipment in the store can be used? Isn't this illegal?"
"This is not against the rules. It's fine if you know that the flying squirrel suit can't fly directly. Although wearing it won't provide any protection, I'll give you one if you want it."The store owner said, since he can't sell it anyway, why not try it on for him? Maybe it will serve as a publicity and some people will buy it to fly at high altitudes. The store owner found a suitable suit for Chen Yi, and Chen Yi put his wings on it. After upgrading from flying LV1 (entry) to LV2 (proficient), I carefully checked the wingsuit, helmet and parachute. The wingsuit is made of ram-type expansion airbags made of nylon material with extremely strong toughness and tension, especially in flying sportswear. Large pieces of strong, freely retractable, bat-like wings are sewn between the legs, arms and torso. After the challenger takes off, the wing membranes can be unfolded by opening the hands and feet. When the air enters the fin-shaped air bags, , it will inflate to make the costume become wing-shaped, thereby generating buoyancy. In this way, you can fly in the air, and then control the height and direction of flight by moving your body.
Wing suits are equal to human wings, and when they are broken, they are equal to bird wings. If it is broken, check whether it is qualified and whether there is any damage. It is very important and cannot be sloppy. Someone once joked that the wingsuit is the only product without negative reviews, because those who feel bad when using it are finished.
In addition, special helmets are also It’s very important. There are two GPS locators in the helmet. In the lower right corner of the glasses, there is a small screen that tells the pilot the speed and glide rate.
Not to mention the parachute. Wingsuit flying is not really flying, but In gliding, the glide ratio is about 3:1, that is, you advance about three meters for every one meter of descent. For the final landing, you still have to rely on a parachute. If you don’t bring a parachute, that means you just want to fly in a wingsuit.
Chen Yi After the inspection was completed and there was no problem, they started to change the wing suit. The audience in the live broadcast room watched and listened, and they roughly understood what a wing suit was.
"It turns out that this is a wing suit, and it seems to be also called a flying squirrel suit."
"Judging from the name, it seems that it should have a certain gliding effect, but after all, it is just a suit of clothes and the effect must be limited. Since Chen Shen wants to use a paraglider and a parachute, why does he need this wing suit?"
"He said it was an extra layer of protection. Why do I feel that this does not provide much protection? Moreover, with Chen Shen’s urine, he would choose this useless protection to waste the time of getting dressed?"
"Oops, the familiar frightening feeling became more intense. I thought of a terrible possibility. Could he be trying to glide directly with this wingsuit?"
