Chapter 405: Wooden Kite Test Flight

"Is this wooden kite really as magical as the legend says? Can it really fly in the air and still carry people? Immediately there was questioning in the room, and many of them heard the story, but almost no one believed it was true.

Looking at the big wooden bird in front of him with a body length of three or four meters, in fact, Kong Lao was not sure if he could fly, and he really wanted to go out and test it now.

"It may not be false to be able to fly, but the claim that you can fly for a few days should not be true." Elder Yan replied. He was convinced that this wooden kite could really fly, after all, some things were not groundless.

"Just go out and give it a try. Help carry it out! I'll come back here later. Xu Lao proposed.

Everyone wanted to witness this wooden kite, which was famous thousands of years ago, so as soon as this proposal was put forward, it was immediately supported by everyone.

"Good! Come and let a few people help carry it, and be careful to be light-footed, it is made of wood, not like steel. Professor Fang said.

In fact, his worries were superfluous, this wooden kite could withstand the strong air currents in the air, and naturally it would not be so easy to destroy. So, as long as you don't deliberately cut it with a knife, it shouldn't break.

Everyone moved the wooden kite out with all hands and feet, and it was another hour. Taken outside, everyone took a closer look at this wooden product. It is said that it is a wood product, but in fact, it is made of wood, but the inside is not. Hong Tianbao scanned it with his divine sense and found that there were many small gears inside, and the wheels were interlocking, which was very mysterious.

It is a large eagle, more than a meter tall and almost four meters long. At this time, the eagle's eyes are closed, its wings are shrunk to its sides, and its feet are folded.

"No wonder it can withstand so much force, this wood is actually the wood of the iron birch." Li Lao touched the shell of the wooden kite, and when he looked closely, he found that it was made of the hardest wood in the world.

Others were also relieved that the iron birch was the hardness champion among the trees. The bullet hits this wood as if it were on a thick steel plate, and it doesn't move. It is known as a tree that is harder than steel. It is distributed in the northeastern part of our country on the border with North Korea, and it is not too scarce wood.

People use it as a substitute for metal. The Soviet Union used to use iron birch to make rolling balls and bearings, which were used in speedboats. The iron birch tree also has some wonderful properties, due to its extremely dense texture. So as soon as it is put into the water, it sinks; Even if you soak it in water for a long time, the inside of it will remain dry.

"This wood seems to be quite heavy, so it doesn't seem very suitable for making flying objects out of it, right?" An expert said.

"Huh! It's just a shell. And no matter how heavy it is, it's not as heavy as steel! Hong Tianbao said with a smile. The others nodded one after another, and the secret said that it made sense, the material of the plane must be heavier than the material of this wooden kite. Haven't you been flying all over the world?

"Then it seems that the previous legend is not true, it was cut by a random knife, what knife was so powerful in ancient times? The iron birch trees were cut down. A relatively young excavator said.

As soon as he finished speaking, many people laughed, and the man couldn't help but be surprised, but he was embarrassed to ask.

Hong Tianbao chuckled: "That's not necessarily, the iron birch tree can actually be cut down to make a wooden kite, so why can't it be cut down?" ”

The man's face turned red. Only then did I realize the naivety of my words just now.

The public loss class is worthy of being the god of a generation of craftsmen! Hong Tianbao finished analyzing the situation inside the wooden kite and sighed in his heart. If it weren't for my own divine sense, I wouldn't be able to analyze such a precise and complicated part. Each part of the kite has a metal wire pulling it. This metal wire is not an iron wire, it will not rust, and it has excellent toughness. Just like the muscular bands that connect every bone in the human body, every part of the kite can move, just like a real animal.

As we all know, man should sit on the wing shoulders under the neck of the wooden kite, and there is a small saddle-like thing on top of it, and the person can sit on it with his feet fixed to the wooden kite. A person sitting on it can catch both ears of a wooden kite. Say it's the ears. In fact, it is two small round wheels, which can be put into it by hand and can also be rotated.

…,

The kite also has a screw-like wooden ring around its neck, which can also be rotated, and an arrow is engraved on it. The sides of the wooden circle are densely marked with scales.

The tail of the wooden kite has a rocking device that shakes it. It's the equivalent of filling up a car. The more you shake it, the more the arrow on the kite's neck turns forward. It can be seen that the indicator arrow on its neck is actually an indicator of the power reserve of the wooden kite.

"It seems that the legendary wooden wedge is a fake, and the principle of movement is similar to that of a mechanical watch." Elder Yan said. Everyone nodded, apparently recognizing the problem.

Hong Tianbao had already analyzed the working principle of the flight and knew how to operate it, so he volunteered to say: "I'll give it a try!" ”

Everyone had no opinion, and Kong Lao told Hong Tianbao about the operation he analyzed.

"Good! I understand that if it really flies, it shouldn't be difficult to operate. Hong Tianbao said.

Yan Lao reminded: "Let's go up and take off first, don't fly high, don't fly far." ”

Hong Tianbao nodded, sat down, and put his two gloves into the ears of the wooden kite. Everyone helped fix Hong Tianbao's feet on the body of the wooden kite.

Hong Tianbao was also a little excited, it can be said that this is an aircraft made by his ancestors. In the offspring, he himself was the first to test the pilot. He pressed the two round ears of the wooden kite into it with both hands, and he heard a "click".

At this time, the squatting wooden kite immediately stood up, and the two eyes in front of it opened. The whole wooden kite is as if it has woken up from its deep sleep.

Everyone was excited, even if the wooden kite couldn't fly, just these two actions had already made people see the power of the ancient mechanism.

"It's amazing, it's amazing. This wooden kite may really be able to take off, this should be the first plane made by our ancestors, thousands of years earlier than the West, haha! An old expert, like a child, clapped his hands excitedly as he spoke.

Hong Tianbao turned a square, and there was another click, and there was a tug-of-war sound from the wooden kite's body. At this time, the combined wings of the wooden kite immediately spread out with a bang, and each wing was five meters long.

A behemoth appeared in front of everyone, and everyone present was shocked, even Kong Lao was no exception. One by one, they are looking forward to the next performance of the wooden kite.

"Good, good, good! Lu Ban is worthy of being the ancestor of craftsmen, who can compete with this kind of technology, even the current aircraft cannot put away the wings of the aircraft, but our ancient people did it thousands of years ago. Professor Fang said a few good words.

Hong Tianbao turned one more square, and there was another click, and the mechanical sound in the wooden kite's body became heavier. Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the wooden kite began to run forward from slow to fast, and its wings began to flapp.

"This, it really runs. Terrible! Awesome! Nowadays, cars still need gasoline to run, what exactly is the working principle of this wooden kite? An old expert specializing in the study of mechanism techniques said excitedly.

When everyone heard this, they all felt deeply proud, in the end, the ancestors were still powerful! If the secret is solved, will there be an energy crisis?

In fact, they also take it for granted. First, this wooden kite has a limited capacity and does not carry many people. Second, the time available for work is also limited. It's like an old pendulum clock, and it needs to be chained before it can work.

The wooden kite ran out for more than 20 meters, and Hong Tianbao turned a grid again. The wooden kite's wings flapped suddenly, and at this time, the entire wooden kite began to fly with Hong Tianbao on board.

"Look! It's really flying, haha! Flew up. An expert did not have the demeanor of an expert at all, and shouted with excitement, as if he were the one sitting on it.

Kong Lao and the others also looked at each other, and they all smiled. Everyone began to applaud warmly, shaking hands with each other to celebrate, just like the successful launch of Shenzhou X, and the young ones even came to hug.

…,

"Good, good! This time, do they gringos dare to show off their planes all the time. Li Lao said. You must know that it is not yet possible to independently develop domestic passenger aircraft. The most critical engine is still bought from other countries at a high price, and many parts are also purchased from all over the world.

"Did you take a picture of what happened just now?" Professor Fang asked, he was also excited.

A filming crew came back to his senses, and Meng Di found that he still had a task to do, this time it was difficult to explain, he stubbornly said: "Professor Fang, that, I just watched it and forgot to shoot." ”

He didn't lie, since the wooden kite started to stand up, this guy forgot to work, and like everyone else, all that was left in his eyes was the wooden kite that kept surprising everyone.

"What? Didn't you take a picture? A young man shouted.

Kong Lao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if you change to work, I guess there is nothing to explain." ”

The officer immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and just now he felt cold and swishing when he saw that many people were already trying to swallow their gazes.

"Huh! Look, it's amazing that you can still rely on diagonal flying to turn. A man once shouted.

"Hey! What else are you watching? Hurry up and shoot! Please, a bit of professionalism, okay? The young man just now saw that the guy in charge of the filming began to look at the sky again and was stunned, and couldn't help but blame.

The man was busy wiping his sweat, nodded and said, "Just shoot, shoot!" ”

Hong Tianbao controlled the wooden kite to fly twice, saw that the power reserve was running out, and then grabbed the fungus and turned it back. At this time, the wings of the wooden kite flapped slowly, and it slowly flew low. When it was almost on the ground, it turned back one block again, and the wooden kite stood on the ground and ran forward. After running for more than 20 meters, the wooden kite stopped.

When everyone saw that the wooden kite had landed safely, they all surrounded it, like an astronaut welcoming back from aviation.
