293. Shock absorption
About half an hour later, Chen Zhe and Da Qiao teamed up to drive the ebony car back to the camp, and the car drove without any problems on the way, and the performance and hardware were very successful.
Seeing this scene, the host He Chen couldn't help but praise seriously:
Chen Zhe's invention this time was successful again, and he actually made a car using the engine of a rubber boat.
Now Chen Zhe not only owns a sailboat on the island, but also owns a car, which undoubtedly makes his competitiveness greatly improved.
With these two means of transportation, I don't think any difficulty would have bothered him. ”
A guest next to him also nodded and said: "That's right, Chen Zhe is too powerful, he not only has an unbridled imagination, but also has the strength to transform imagination into reality...... I sometimes wonder if he can do magic, so he can do what humans can't do. ”
Another guest sighed: "I think this is ability, Chen Zhe is the kind of person with extremely powerful ability." ”
"Yes. He Chen also nodded in agreement.
At this time, Da Qiao had already driven the car back to the camp under the banyan tree, and Chen Zhe cooperated to extinguish the engine.
Xiao Qiao, who had been standing under the tree waiting for everyone, couldn't wait to run to the side of the car and asked vigorously, "How is it? How is the test drive? Is there something wrong with the car?"
"Nothing was wrong, everything went well. Da Qiao smiled and said, "Chen Zhe's technique is very good. ”
"Sister Mengyun's driving skills are also very good, she is an old driver. Yan'er, who was sitting in the co-pilot, praised with a smile.
However, Chen Zhe, who was sitting in the back row, was not in a hurry to express his opinion.
After the car stopped, everyone turned out of the compartment one after another.
And Yan'er, who was the first to turn over, landed unsteadily and almost fell to the ground.
Xiao Qiao hurriedly went up to support her, and at the same time said, "Be careful, don't fall......"
Unexpectedly, before the words fell, the second Da Qiao who left the carriage almost fell to the ground.
"Hmm, what's the situation?" Xiao Qiao was surprised, "Why do you all look like you're drunk?"
At this time, Da Qiao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I'm drunk, it's that my legs are numb......"
"Leg numbness?" Xiao Qiao didn't understand, and asked, "Why are your legs still numb?"
Chen Zhe in the back row gave the answer: "Because the wheels of the car are pure solid wood, the shock absorption effect is not good, so everyone's legs are bumpy and numb......"
"That's it......" Xiao Qiao suddenly realized, and then said optimistically, "But it's not a problem, it's just a little bumpy, anyway, the whole island is not big, we won't sit in the car for too long, and it's over if we insist on it." ”
Da Qiao also nodded and said, "Well, this question is not unbearable. ”
Yan'er was also optimistic: "It doesn't hurt. ”
But Chen Zhe shook his head seriously and said: "No, this is not a small problem, although it is just a bump, but the long-term bump is not only unfriendly to passengers, but also a great damage to the parts of the car."
Most of the parts on our car are made of solid wood, and solid wood is a material that is easy to wear out, if it is bumpy for a long time, then the life of these parts will be too short, and even accidents will occur during driving. ”
After listening to Chen Zhe's analysis, the girls realized the seriousness of the problem.
"So, the shock absorption problem of the car still has to be solved?" asked Little Joe.
"That's right. Chen Zhe admitted.
At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room also heard the problem of the car, and the problem of shock absorption is an urgent problem that the car must face.
He Chen said: "The roads on the island are all primitive roads, so they will be extremely bumpy, and the tires of Chen Zhe's car are completely made of hard solid wood, which lacks elasticity, which also poses a safety hazard." ”
"Yes. A guest also nodded and said, "For cars, shock absorption has always been a very important performance, you must know that those precision parts inside the car need to be shock-resistant, bumps will accelerate their consumption, resulting in failure." ”
"That's true. He Chen said approvingly, and then asked a question, "But the conditions on this island are limited, how can Chen Zhe solve the problem of shock absorption?"
A guest suggested: "Can you let players like Da Qiao or Ouyang Meixi ask fans to reward some tires? If you have normal car tires, then the problem of shock absorption will be solved." ”
Hearing this, He Chen shook his head with a smile and said: "Of course not, the props prepared by the program team for the contestants are not rich, and there are very few types, how can it be possible to prepare nonsensical materials such as car tires for the contestants?"
In addition, Chen Zhe's style is to rely on his own ability to solve problems, which is also his consistent advantage, if he goes to the fans for help whenever he is in trouble, then this is not Chen Zhe. ”
The other guests couldn't help but nod their heads, all agreeing with Teacher He Chen's statement.
……
The other side.
Chen Zhe on the camp.
Looking at the car that had just been assembled and successfully test-driven, Chen Zhe fell into deep thought.
The shock absorption problem of this car must be solved, otherwise this car will always have potential safety hazards, and if you want to solve the shock absorption problem, you have to start from two aspects.
Either deal with the bumpy roads on the island, or modify the car's stiff and inelastic wheels.
The roads on the island are certainly impossible to improve, and Chen Zhe can't build a highway on the island, so the answer is simple, he has to modify the wheels of the car.
His eyes rested on the car's four bulky and bulky solid wood wheels, and Chen Zhe began to think of a solution.
The girls next to her followed up with suggestions, and some ideas really helped Chen Zhe a lot.
"Chen Zhe, why don't you add some shock-absorbing parts to the bearing?"
"Why don't you put tires on the wheels?"
"By the way, isn't the hull of Lin Kongkong's rubber boat made of rubber?
“……”
Chen Zhe carefully screened everyone's suggestions and said: "I have decided to make four rubber tires for our car, as long as the rubber tires are installed, then the shock absorption effect of the car can be greatly increased." ”
"It's a really good idea. Da Qiao said approvingly, and then asked, "What about the rubber, is it rebuilt from the wreckage of an abandoned rubber boat?"
"That's a bit difficult...... Chen Zhe shook his head, "the hull of the discarded rubber boat has been shaped, if you want to transform it into a tire, you have to melt it first, and then you have to pour it back into the mold, and then cool it down......
It's too complicated, and it's a bit too far-reaching. ”
Speaking of this, he pointed to the rubber forest not far away and said, "There are a lot of rubber trees growing around us, and it is not difficult to make four rubber tires. ”
Da Qiao asked with some surprise: "Chen Zhe, what do you mean...... Straight from natural rubber to make tires?"
"Yes. Chen Zhe smiled.
"But isn't it a little difficult to do that?" said Da Qiao again.
Chen Zhe is quite confident: "Believe me, I can handle it." ”
This sentence is not convincing to others, but it is a reassuring thing when it comes out of Chen Zhe's mouth.
Of course, Da Qiao and the other girls did not doubt Chen Zhe's assurance, they knew that Chen Zhe would never make a promise that they were not sure of.
After making his decision, Chen Zhe began his own plan.
The first step in making a tire is to determine the size of the wheel.
Temporarily removing the solid wood wheels from the car, Chen Zhe first created a mold according to the size of the solid wood wheels, which is used to help shape the tires, so the size must be able to be completely set on the wheels.
The mould is made from wood scrap from previous car cutting, and looks like a ring-shaped, irregularly shaped sink that in the future will contain natural rubber tree sap, which will naturally form rubber tires when it dries.
In order to save efficiency, Chen Zhe created two circular molds, which he then carried to a nearby rubber plantation to start extracting natural sap.
Using a sharp thunder blade to cut through the bark of the rubber tree, and then gently chopping it down, Chen Zhe carefully carved a downward groove on the trunk, and then used a tree chip that bent inward to guide the sap to flow into the mold.
The milky white sap slowly seeped out of the trunk and flowed into the mold drop by drop, while Chen Zhe waited patiently beside him, waiting for the rubber juice to fill the entire mold.
This scene was also broadcast live, and netizens in the live broadcast room watched the whole process of Chen Zhe making tires.
He Chen said approvingly: "Chen Zhe is really extraordinary, he actually thought of a solution to the problem in such a short period of time, using the sap of rubber trees to make tires. ”
The guest next to him said: "In fact, this just shows that Chen Zhe is a person who is familiar with history, the first use of rubber tree sap in history is to make tires, and the main means of transportation in that era was horse-drawn carriages, and horse-drawn carriages will also encounter bumps when driving......
Later, some people found rubber on the island, so they had the idea to dry the rubber and make it into tires, which were put on the carriage, so that the problem of shock absorption of the carriage was solved.
I think Chen Zhe was able to come up with this idea so quickly, and it was also influenced by the ancients. ”
"I think so. He Chen also nodded, "But no matter what, Chen Zhe's ability is admirable." ”
It was a long process to pour rubber sap into the molds, and Chen Zhe was busy from the afternoon until the evening, filling the two molds.
The next step is to bake and dry to remove the moisture from the rubber sap.
Generally speaking, the solidification of rubber can be done by natural air drying, but because it is the rainy season on the island, the moisture in the air is very large, and there will be rain from time to time, in this case, the possibility of natural air drying is very low.
Therefore, Chen Zhe used the method of artificial baking, placing the mold next to the bonfire to bake.
However, the rubber sap should not be too close to the campfire, otherwise excessive heating will destroy the shape of the rubber, put the rubber sap in the mold next to the campfire and let it stand overnight, and the two tires will be ready.
While Chen Zhe was concentrating on improving the car, the program team of Wilderness Survival encountered an unprecedented crisis.
Because from a few days ago, they had a thorny problem, and this thorny problem has not been solved until now.
The problem is that Lin Kongkong is missing.
As the top traffic with countless fans, and as one of the top stars in the wilderness survival, Lin Kongkong has always been the face of the show, and he is also the player that the director team pays the most attention to.
But since the accident happened a few days ago, Lin Kongkong and his partner Lao Du have disappeared into the depths of the rainforest, and they have not been found until now.
This is a big deal for those fanatical fans of Lin Kongkong, who are urging the program team to find their "brother" day and night, but the rainforest on the island is dense and deep, and there are all kinds of elusive dangers lurking in it, how can it be so easy to find Lin Kongkong?
The rescue team of the program team began to conduct a carpet search on the island from the first time Lin Kongkong disappeared, except for the extreme cases of night and rainy days, which are really not suitable for rescue, all the other times were looking for Lin Kongkong, but he was like the world had evaporated, and there was no trace left.
His disappearance made fans more and more anxious, and their trust in the program team became lower and lower, and some fans even went to the relevant departments to report the program team and reprimanded the wilderness survival column for "grass and human life".
Another night has come.
The director team of Wilderness Survival.
The rescue team has just sent a message that the latest rescue still has not found any trace of Lin Kongkong, because it is late, so all rescuers can only temporarily withdraw from the rainforest.
The chief director's face when he got the news was extremely pale.
"I didn't find it, I didn't find it...... It's been a few days? Lin Kongkong is a rookie who survives in the wild, and after being trapped in the rainforest for so many days this time, will he still have his life?"
The chief director roared angrily,
"If there is really a fatality, the suspension of the show is a trivial matter, and we will all be held accountable!"
The directors and directors next to them were all frightened by the chief director's thunderous anger.
If Lin Kongkong really died in the rainforest, the consequences would definitely be unimaginable.
Some choreographers couldn't help but start complaining.
"I knew that Lin Kongkong was such a dish, and I shouldn't have invited him in the first place. ”
"What do you think of this empty forest, why do you have to run deep into the rainforest?"
"I was really killed by this thing......"
"Isn't his partner a wilderness survival master? It stands to reason that he shouldn't be like this......"
“……”
The chief director glared at these twittering choreographers and directors, and said in a deep voice: "What's the point of talking this nonsense now? Why don't you hurry up and think about how to find Lin Kongkong?"
At this time, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and the chief director glanced at it and saw that it was the producer's phone.
He hurriedly picked up his mobile phone to answer, and his voice became respectful: "Mr. Xu......"
A cold and majestic female voice rang out in the receiver of the mobile phone:
"The order has been issued from above - Lin Kongkong will not be found tomorrow, the program will be suspended indefinitely, and it will be taken off the shelves for urgent rectification!
"W-What?" the chief director's voice trembled a little, and he asked in disbelief, "What's the reaction from above...... So fast?"
"Nonsense, Lin Kongkong has been missing for a few days? Tomorrow there is one last day, you must find Lin Kongkong for me, I don't care what method you use, do you hear?"
