Chapter 438: Helicopter Arrives

"Buzz."

When the plane flew over the town, everyone was stunned.

Although it was already the 1990s, most of the residents in the town had never seen such a rare thing as a helicopter. Even the mayor Chen Ruqing had only heard of the name but had never seen the real thing.

Seeing the helicopter parked steadily in front of the town, a group of children surrounded it with joy.

This helicopter is larger than ordinary helicopters, and it looks like a giant beast when parked there.

Unlike ordinary helicopters, this plane has two pilots.

Seeing so many children surrounding them, he was not angry, but took these children to visit the surroundings of the plane.

The adults were able to suppress their curiosity, but just pointed at this flying "big bird", as if they were curious about what this thing relied on to fly?

Li Yi walked up slowly, came to one of the pilots, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work on this journey. My name is Li Yi, and I rented the plane!"

The pilot suddenly realized and stretched out his hand with a smile: "My name is Xiao Wei, I am the pilot, and this is my co-pilot, Zeng Xishun!"

Li Yi was about to say something, and Xiao Wei whispered: "You are really rich. You must have spent a lot of effort on this trip, right? Is it really just transporting food?"

The pilot was obviously a little bit unbelievable. Someone actually wanted to use an airplane to transport food? How rich does it take? Helicopters like this are generally used to transport some professional equipment, and transporting food is more or less a waste of resources.

Li Yi smiled bitterly and said: "You have seen the road in this mountain. We have also tried to use people to transport food, but the mountain road is slippery and the mountain structure is not stable. I really have no way! We have 15,000 kilograms of food. We may have to trouble you to fly a few more times!"

15,000 kilograms of food?

The pilot's eyelids twitched. Good guy, he really collected a lot!

Fifteen thousand catties is seven thousand kilograms, a total of seven and a half tons. The helicopter can carry four tons, which means it will take two flights to complete the delivery?

Li Yi continued: "This is only the first half, which is all rice, wheat and other grains. There are also fifteen thousand catties of various meat products. They are on the way and will be delivered the day after tomorrow. So it will take four round trips in total. The delivery will be completed within three days. Is that okay for you?"

The pilot named Xiao Wei nodded with a smile and said: "If the weather is fine, then we will have no problem, but we still need someone to go to the mountains to mark the landing site first. It would be best if we go with them and find a suitable location in advance. We don't bring much fuel this time, so we must control it accurately and not waste it."

Li Yi smiled and nodded when he heard this. This request is reasonable, but can these pilots really persist in walking this mountain road?

Pilots are very valuable...

"This mountain road is very difficult to walk on. When we went in, we encountered a landslide. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Are you sure you want to follow us into the mountain?"

Xiao Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, the training we have experienced is very professional, and this is what I studied in college. Exploring the terrain is necessary, but we have to go to the mountains to investigate first to see if there are any obstructions in the valley. This will affect safety!"

Li Yi smiled and agreed, turned around and looked at the group of children jumping around the plane, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Can you take the children with you when you go to investigate?"

In theory, of course it's not possible. How can a cargo helicopter let people go up casually? And to be honest, there are only two rows of simple seats in the cabin, and there is nothing else, and it's just a simple seat belt. What if something goes wrong?

Li Yi smiled and said, "It's okay. I've ridden in a helicopter before. Let these kids see it. I'll ensure their safety. If something goes wrong, you won't be responsible!"

Xiao Wei turned his head and looked at the children's expectant eyes. He remembered his yearning for the sky when he was a child. For a moment, he felt empathy, so he nodded.

Li Yi smiled slightly and turned to the children and said, "Children! Do you want to take a plane?"

The children looked at each other and didn't react for a while! So can they still sit on this thing in front of them?

"Can we really sit on it?"

Looking at the leading child, Xiao Durong, with eyes full of envy and expectation, Li Yi smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem, but you all have to listen to me when you get on the plane. If you can do it, then I will take you to play in the sky, okay?"

The children nodded one after another, even if they were pounding garlic.

This is a plane! This is something that can fly! Many children have never even ridden in a car before, but they can ride a plane directly. This is a fatal attraction for children!

Li Yi looked at the excitement of these eight or nine children, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This can be regarded as broadening the children's horizons. After all, many people have never seen a helicopter. If any of these eight or nine children is inspired and aspires to become a pilot in the future, it is also a gratifying thing.

The children got on the helicopter one after another. Of course, Li Yi had obtained the consent of their parents. These parents were also very simple. If it weren't for Li Yi, these children might not have been able to get in touch with such high-tech things. According to their family situation, it would definitely be impossible.

When the children sat in the cabin of the plane, they were actually a little scared. After all, the plane looked so big, and there were no two big wings as the adults said. I don't know if it can fly steadily, but with Li Yi's comfort, the children's emotions were quickly calmed down.

Xiao Wei and his partner Zeng Xishun looked at each other, and began to fiddle with the instrument panel very skillfully. Then the rotor of the helicopter started to turn, and the whole body slowly left the ground.

The children looked through the window at the scene below getting smaller and smaller, and gradually the plane flew towards the mountains. One by one, they wanted to see but didn't dare to see, which made Li Yi laugh.

"Du Rong, how is it? Is it different from the plane in the book?"

Du Rong heard Li Yi's words and said with a smile: "It's the same, the same, but it seems to be missing two big wings. Uncle Li, how does this plane fly?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "When you grow up and go to junior high school and high school, you will know this question. You must study hard and don't let your mother and father down. Maybe you can fly a plane in the future!"

Du Rong heard this and immediately nodded heavily, and then he was attracted by the scene outside the window.
