Chapter 278
The value on the altimeter is falling rapidly...
300 meters, 290 meters, 280 meters, 270 meters...
It is estimated that it will not take long to reach the height of opening the umbrella.
But this time is really difficult to estimate, everything depends on the situation.
There are two types of limit parachute opening heights for wingsuit flying.
According to the sports attributes of wingsuit flight, the optimal parachute opening height for high-altitude wingsuit flight is about 750 meters, with a floating range of tens of meters up and down.
As for parachuting for low-altitude flying, the optimal height is between 100 meters and 200 meters.
It can't get any lower...
100 meters is the ultimate height.
If you really choose to open an umbrella below 100 meters, there is almost no chance of survival, and the mortality rate is infinitely close to 100%.
Although the parachute of a flight suit is almost the same as a general low-altitude skydiving parachute bag, due to the difference in impact force, the two are not the same.
Because at ultra-high speeds, the impact of wingsuit flying at the moment of opening the parachute is very large!
Chapter 251 The incident is brewing! Reuters' building advertisement! (beg

For this reason, preparations should be made for the final parachute opening as early as after descending to 300 meters.
the reason is simple.
Urban flying has much greater limitations than outdoor racing.
In addition to the checkpoint road signs, the flight path and parachute opening timing must also be set to the smallest detail!
In the previous life, when Victor the Flyer died in Tianmen Mountain, there was something wrong with opening his umbrella, which led to an irreversible tragedy.
According to the flight path of the World Championships, the place where Victor's accident occurred was not a suitable place to open the parachute.
The prescribed flight route only has three turning points.
Only the relatively open area after flying past the third turning point is the most suitable place to open an umbrella.
But when turning the second turn, because the speed was too fast, Victor made a mistake, which led to the accident.
This shows how important the appropriate umbrella opening node is.
Even if you are a master of flying with rich experience, you cannot guarantee a safe landing if you open your parachute at the wrong place, let alone freestyle mode in the city.
After all, there are too many variables that cannot be controlled here.
Sometimes, just a small detail can change the situation and become irreversible.
Lu Yu planned in advance in his mind, and saw clues from the pictures fed back by the drone.
After deliberation for a long time, he decisively chose his final landing place in a relatively empty square three blocks away.
According to the current taxiing rate and speed, the final stage of flight should not go beyond that.
An open area is the perfect place to land.
Lu Yu didn't want to miss it.
So, after paying attention, he hurriedly adjusted his gliding posture and galloped towards the designated end point.
…
Flying over Odyssey Towers.
The commercial street ahead suddenly opened up.
It makes people’s eyes light up.
This commercial street should be the most prosperous area near Times Square.
The buildings on both sides of the street are scattered in height and closely dependent on each other.
Light box signs written in English and shiny giant LED screens can be seen everywhere.
Looking down.
Crowds of people as small as dolls are crowding the sidewalk.
Maybe they had already noticed themselves.
At this moment, everyone actually stopped, holding up their mobile phones and looking up at the sky motionlessly...
…
Five minutes ago!
The Reuters building in Times Square!
In the office of the person in charge of the US headquarters.
On the computer screen, when he saw Lu Yu wearing a flight suit and jumping from the top of the World Trade Center building, Van Pierce was stunned on the spot!
Sitting on the chair, he kept stroking his beard with his hands, and his deeply frowned brows could not be relaxed.
It seemed that it was difficult for him to accept the scene in front of him...
Before taking the post of head of the US headquarters, Van Pierce was a well-known sports news media person at the Reuters headquarters.
As we all know, in addition to international news and financial information, the media may be most interested in sports news.
In the previous life, many famous explorers were reported by them.
Over the years, in his career as a sports editor, Van Pierce has not only interviewed many famous gold medal athletes around the world, but also met many great figures.
It can be said that there are few big names in sports and outdoor circles that he has not interviewed.
After decades of career, Van Pierce once thought that he was knowledgeable enough...
However, this sense of superiority quickly disappeared after seeing Lu Yu's video.
The live broadcast of flying over the Yellow River and descending on Everest some time ago made Van Pierce get to know this young Chinese man and he was instantly fascinated by him.
From then on, this guy had to watch almost every episode of Lu Yu's live broadcast.
So this time, even though it is no exception.
"Oh my God...this is really incredible..."
Van Pierce sighed, his whole body trembling slightly.
However, when he saw Lu Yu falling into a gliding state, his nervous expression suddenly became a little more amazing!
To put it bluntly, he really didn't expect that this seemingly flimsy flight suit could actually accomplish such a feat?
The next second, with the keen sense of smell of a senior media person, Van Pierce immediately smelled a different smell, and hurriedly picked up the phone, ready to notify his branch reporters, and quickly write a press release to seize this hot spot!
This is big news!
Picking up the phone, he dialed a number without thinking:
"Eddie!"
"Boss, what's the matter?"
"Remember the Chinese who messed up the North Coast? He made a big news again this time, immediately! Immediately! Within three minutes, I must see your news flash!"
On the other end of the phone, Eddie responded repeatedly and nodded like pounding garlic.
Then, Van Pierce ordered again:
"Wait, there's more! Immediately notify the floor control team to light up all the remaining 11 LED digital screens and connect to his live broadcast as soon as possible!"
"No problem, I'll do it right away!"
In addition to being the world's top news agency, Reuters is also famous for the two sets of digital screens on the building of its headquarters.
Many domestic media and Chinese brands have had in-depth cooperation with Reuters.
Don't underestimate these two sets of screens.
Their high price in the mainland was once sold for 10,000 RMB per 15 seconds!
That is to say, the price per minute is more than 40,000.
This time, in order to attract the attention of the American people as soon as possible, Van Pierce decided without hesitation to connect all the remaining building screens to Lu Yu's live broadcast!
...
On the other side.
Times Square!
When all passers-by were watching the UFO soaring in the sky, the huge Reuters headquarters building suddenly flashed and instantly synchronized Lu Yu's live broadcast!
Swish!
After the picture was frozen.
More and more passers-by took out their mobile phones to record this exciting moment!
Soon, with Reuters' "Zhang Liang Plan", many buildings also responded and set up their own "ladders over the wall"...
Looking up.
Every LED screen on the busy streets was playing the live broadcast of Lu Yu flying freely over the city!
The black flight suit and the stunning extreme art, the sound and picture were synchronized, and the seamless connection attracted countless cheers and screams.
The crowds coming from all directions in the west soon flooded the most prosperous commercial district in the United States...
...
The noise was deafening, and the cheers were joyful.
As the incident fermented, the scene became more and more intense.
The audience, fans, passers-by, and the security personnel who maintained order could no longer tell who was who.
Dozens of security vehicles kept rushing to the scene of the incident, and soon it became a mess.
However, in the midst of it, Lu Yu was still focused, paying attention to the data on the helmet screen at all times, while moving unswervingly towards his destination.
