Chapter 180: Making a Windsurfing Board

The first wheel was made, and after trying that there was no problem, Wang Chuan shifted his focus to Wang Fan's side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Fan has been holding a bunch of cowhides by himself these days and trying to make sails on a canoe, and it is said that the effect is already good. Wang Chuan occasionally asked when he was making wheels, and he always looked like he was smiling. When Wang Chuan put down the work on the wheel side and went to the river to look, he found that Wang Fan was crying.

The sailboat in Wang Fan's heart has been ready. On a canoe, with an arm-thick mast nailed to it, on which three or four square meters of cowhide sails hung loosely, the boat was indeed as he imagined, and could sail with the wind without paddling. However, it was not a windy day, and the boat could not match the speed of a canoe paddled by two people in any case. And you can't drive against the wind. I thought that in more than two months, I was going to lose the game and lose Yuzhu. He couldn't stop crying.

Wang Chuan saw that he was crying sadly, so he didn't pay attention to it, and looked up and down the sailboat he made. beckoned to let the newly released black back also come to take a look.

There are not too many people who are strong-willed and will die for their faith. After the collapse of the black back's faith, he found that he could have other beliefs and hopes, and after a few days of depression, he gradually thought about it. In the next few days, several people from the tribe went over to brainwash him every day, and Wang Chuan also sent Da Hei's mother over to warm his bed, and now he no longer mentions that he would rather die than surrender, and he has become a slave of the River tribe with honor.

His legs were not yet sharp, and he was now staggering on crutches. He looked around the sail canoe that had been dragged to the shore, and said his fair opinion: "I'm afraid it's of no use." ”

As soon as Wang Fan heard that the fruits of his labor were evaluated like this, as if he had found a venting point, he was about to rush over to fight against the black back.

Wang Chuan pointed at Wang Fan: "Stop." ”

At that time, Wang Chuan was accompanied by three followers, one was a strong bull, one was a baby elephant, and the other was a little rhinoceros. The personal guard that Auntie gave to Wang Chuan, Wang Chuan left the strong cow with him, and the others had already sent out to do other things. The baby elephant was learning from Wang Chuan's example, and he was also watching around the canoe. The baby rhinoceros followed the baby elephant with a bored expression.

Wang Chuan pointed his finger. At this time, the strong bull should rush forward. However, the little elephant thought that Wang Chuan was training a dog and threw something out, so he raised his nose and took two steps forward. When the little rhinoceros saw the baby elephant rushing forward, he thought he was going to leave this boring place, so he rushed forward with his legs, but before the strong bull could make a move, Wang Fan was hit by the little rhinoceros. Fortunately, the little rhinoceros has been taught a lot of lessons, and he knows that he must stop if he hits something, otherwise Wang Fan will be stepped on twice, and it will be miserable.

The little rhinoceros's collision was neither light nor heavy, and this time Wang Fan almost lost his breath. In this way, the tears were finally taken back.

After all, it was a sixteen-year-old child, Wang Chuan couldn't blame him too much, pulled him up from the ground and said, "Wash your tears and snot, if you still want to marry Yuzhu, come with me to see what you should do with this boat." ”

Seeing that it was such a cowardly who wanted to row with the other two people, he couldn't help but sneer: "I think these boats are excellent, but unless this cub becomes a big fish, it is impossible to win." ”

Wang Chuan said: "It's hard to say. Just one against one, I dare say you may not be his opponent. One to two. I have two ways to make him win. But this ship will have to be made separately. ”

Wu Bei said: "In addition to being smaller, these boats are also considered to be the top on the Taijiang River, do you know better ships?" Isn't it your divine dragon that really gave you some guidance? ”

This person has a bold temperament, and he can't hide his words in his heart, so he basically has something to say. Although he was a little irritable when he came into contact a few days ago, but now that he gets along, Wang Chuan feels that this is a good temperament. Shenlong's statement Wang Chuan was still brewing and was not widely publicized, but when he asked, he was not taboo with others, and said: "There are a lot of things that Shenlong has ignited. Don't you believe it until now? ”

"I'm still a little skeptical. If only you could build a ship that would allow him to win. I will be attached to it with all my heart, and I will be driven by you at your own will. ”

I like this kind of person who comes to the door at every turn. Wang Chuan said: "There is something to say, you have to remember your words today." In the past few months, I will show you what the power of the divine dragon is. ”

There's really nothing better than winning two groups of people in one bet. This made Wang Chuan very fond of it.

Wang Chuan has come up with two ways to win, one is a sailboat and the other is a boat.

Sailing was much more important in later generations. It has developed to an extremely high level. Although Wang Chuan has never played sailing, he still knows the general principle. Making sailboats, naturally, is not something that Wang Fan messes around like this. Wang Fan is a sailboat that can save a little effort with the help of wind at most. It is impossible to eat the wind and speed up.

The oar is a more labor-saving and effective rowing tool developed on the basis of the oar. It sways like a fish waging its tail to provide a steady stream of power. As long as the boat is properly made and skillfully operated, one person may not be slower than two people who oar.

The boat oars are relatively simple to make, and Wang Chuan plans to try to make a sailboat first. If the sailboat is not successful, it is not too late to make the boat oar.

Sailboats come in a variety of sizes and styles. To compare the speed with the canoe in the inland river, and to make it in a short time, Wang Chuan felt that the windsurfing board was the most suitable, but whether the windsurfing board made in this era could be used or not, we had to try to know.

Wang Chuan had seen the introduction of windsurfing on TV, and he still vaguely remembered several key parts and approximate proportions. Although it is impossible to make the kind of exquisite things that came out in later generations, Wang Chuan felt that it was not a big problem to get one to win a canoe in imitation of the general meaning.

In Wang Chuan's view, the hull of the windsurfing board is just a more elaborate canoe. In terms of production, it is still made by cutting logs. The ratio of length to width is about 4.5 meters to 1.5 meters. It also came out in the form of a spindle as in the later generations. However, the wood was heavier than the composites of later generations, so the hull had to be made deep in order to retain enough buoyancy. Wang Chuan didn't know if this would work, in case it sank in the water, it would be a joke.

After the hull was made, the balance plate and tail fin under the bottom were also installed according to Wang Chuan's memory. There is no way for the mast of the universal joint. Wang Chuan could only use a fixed mast. The problem of turning the direction of the sail can only be figured out in the way the sail is fixed.

The sails are still made of cowhide. Although the cowhide is too heavy for sails. However, the linen cloth of this era was not only scarce, but also had too many joints, which was not strong. I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand the force when I use it as a sail.

Wang Chuan made the sail into a pattern of more than one meter by five meters. In the middle, as in later generations, tie the sail rope, tie the sail pole on both sides, and then use bamboo strips to support the sail body. In the way of tying the mast, Wang Chuan used a loose rope to tie it. In this way, there will be no problems with the rotation. However, in the end, when the board was made, it looked like a small sailboat and not like the windsurfing board of later generations.

As for whether you can move after entering the water. Wang Chuan was ready to try it himself. (To be continued.) )
