Chapter 202: Makros, who is about to take off

The Wright sisters never thought that Charles's agent was Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was also shocked when she saw Charles coming to the restaurant with a pair of sisters, why did this product pick up the sisters again?

Dinner time and an hour after dinner were now Elizabeth's personal time of the day, and she could only spare that little time to teach Charles.

Elizabeth was noncommittal about Charles's investment, which was the money of his Maccaden family, and even if it was lost, it would be Charles who paid for his tuition.

However, as an elder, she still has to be a gatekeeper for Charles, and she negotiated with Sister Wright about Marc Ross Bicycle Company at dinner.

Naturally, there were elves on the side who sorted out the items they had negotiated into official documents on the spot, and when dinner was over, everyone signed the documents at the dinner table.

After dinner, Elizabeth rode the bicycle brought by the Wright sisters around the garden for more than half an hour.

Although the ride was a little crooked at first, she quickly got the hang of it.

After a few laps of riding with a bag of weights, Elizabeth stopped.

"Very nice. Elizabeth affirmed the role of the bicycle, "For ordinary people, it is a very good means of transportation. The most important thing is that it has much less requirements for parking conditions and daily maintenance than horses, at least there is no need to worry about forgetting to feed it. ”

"On the battlefield, it's easy to hide, so you don't have to worry about being spotted like a horse. Of course, there are some disadvantages, but they can be considered a useful supplement. ”

After receiving the affirmation of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Wright sisters immediately smiled, as if they saw bicycles carrying gold coins into the house.

Elizabeth patted Charles' head next to her and said to Sister Wright, "You stay tonight and have a good talk with Charles." Charles has a lot of ideas in his head, and they are very useful, so you can discuss them with him a little more, and you may be able to gain a lot. ”

Finally, she said, "When I wait for tomorrow morning, I will send someone to take you to handle the company's affairs." ”

The Wright sisters looked at each other, then nodded in agreement with Her Royal Highness's suggestion.

In Charles's study, the Wright sisters appear particularly reserved. No way, Elizabeth's room was opposite Charles's room, and now the commander was meeting with the messenger sent by Her Majesty in the study.

Now Charles and the others are staying in the official hotel in the city, and military control has been implemented since they moved in, Charles just borrowed Elizabeth's light to have a good room to live in instead of going to squeeze two rooms with other attendants, so don't think about the waiter or anything, if you want to drink tea, you can do it yourself.

Charles made a pot of honey lemon tea, and while pouring tea for Sister Wright, he said, "Don't be nervous, it's okay if we don't make too much noise and make a noise on the other side." ”

Then Sister Wright's voice became faster and more like a whisper.

Charles sat down and began to discuss improvements to the bike with the Wright sisters.

Someone had just come up with the concept of a roller chain commonly used in bicycles, but it was rejected by Wilber in less than ten seconds.

There are too many parts of the roller chain, and the requirements for precision are not low, so it is too troublesome to make. The bearings and flywheels of the car are already very troublesome parts, and if you add roller chains, it will be even more troublesome.

Although the gears of the shaft transmission system have high precision requirements, they are better in fewer parts and more mature in technology, so they still have advantages in general.

It seems that in front of the Rurik Kingdom, when the wind turbine was officially finalized and put into production, and used in machine tools and other machining equipment, it seems that many of Charles's familiar things still can't be made.

"Shaft drive is shaft drive. Charles thought, "It's not like I haven't ridden an axle drive bike in my previous life, so let's solve the problem of having and not having it first." ”

So Charles picked up charcoal and brushed on parchment and drew a VF-4

Sketches of the "Lightning 3" tricycle appeared on parchment, followed by the VF-000 "Praetorian Guard" off-road bike series, the VF-5000 "Star Phantom" road bike series, and the VF-9 "Short Machete" folding bike......

Apparently, the Wright sisters also studied a variety of bicycles for different purposes, and soon matched Charles's brains.

They sat next to Charles, one on the left and the other on the right, and discussed the special technical issues of the various cars.

For example, the spring shock absorber on the front fork, this technology is very mature, and the suspension spring is used on the train.

At present, the shift of the car can only be done by stopping the car and manually adjusting the gear position on the shaft to change the gear, and the automatic shift has to be studied slowly.

As soon as the brake line Charles was proposed, he was told that it could be made tomorrow, which is just a matter of thinking, and the material and process are not difficult. Wilber said that the jacket of the brake line can be made of a hollow rattan, and there are alternatives to the steel wire inside, as long as it is lubricated and anti-corrosion.

The technical details were slowly perfected in the discussion between the three of them. With Charles' experience, the Wright sisters realized the technology needed to develop the bicycle in advance, and in some places they avoided detours.

After three pots of tea, Charles and they finally ended their discussion about the bike.

Charles slipped into the kitchen and got a few plates of snacks and came back for everyone's supper.

Tonight's most brain-stirring is her sister Vilber, who basically solves technical problems, and now she is sitting on the couch to regain a little energy.

My sister Ovier's strength is organization and management, and she didn't talk much tonight.

Ovie, who still has energy, was there to talk to Charles about the sisters' experience of making bicycles, and one day they just helped the guests to put wheels on a rocker horse for the children to play with, and later the guests said that if they only had one wheel in the front and one wheel, they would save a lot of money.

Charles could never have imagined that the zero of the bicycle in this world was a rocking horse with two wheels.

At this time, someone pretended to be casual and said, "If only I could fly in the sky like a bicycle." ”

As soon as his words fell, a gloomy expression flashed over Sister Wright.

"As long as the wind magic is strong enough, bricks can fly into the sky." Now to fly far, the only way to fly is to set up a wind magic array on the underside of the glider to increase the height of the glider if necessary. ”

Wilber continued, "The magic circle must be large enough to provide enough thrust, but then the air resistance will be too great. ”

Charles asked as he ate a snack, "Can't we imitate birds?"

"More troublesome. Wilber clearly knows something about this, "mainly because the powertrain is too heavy. ”

She goes on to say, "Now all we can learn from birds is the cross-sectional shape of their wings. ”

"The power system!" Charles sighed in his heart, "without the development of the power system, many things can't come out." ”

Now Charles has a certain understanding of the magic of this world.

Magic circles are almost always flat, and the magic they release is perpendicular to the surface of the magic circle.

If you want to use the wind magic array to make a jet engine, the engine is simply a door panel flying vertically.

Elizabeth made a magic-powered canoe in the forest, and the magic array engraved on it provided forward thrust by the curvature of the bottom of the boat, and a lot of thrust was wasted in the vertical downward direction, which was very inefficient. That's why she was standing at the stern of the boat, using her own weight to counteract the upward thrust of the magic array.

Knowing this, Charles understood the greatness of the hair dryer invented by Rurika, and it is no wonder that he won the highest magic technology award of the Rurik Kingdom last year with the ring magic array, because the ring magic array not only broke the shackles that the magic array can only be flat, but also the magic effect is parallel to the surface of the magic array.

Thinking of this, an idea popped into Charles's head.

So he held up his teacup and said to Sister Wright, "Then can we make a cylinder of sufficient strength, with one of the bottom openings?" The inside of the cylinder is filled with wind magic arrays, and when these magic arrays are activated, the wind elemental erupts through the opening at the bottom of the cylinder, which provides thrust. In this way, it may be possible to propel the aircraft into the sky. ”

Sister Wright's eyes lit up, and then they touched their heads to discuss.

Sometimes, the bottleneck encountered in the development of technology is not a technical problem, but a problem of thinking.

After a few minutes, Wilber nodded at Charles and said, "This method is likely to be successful, and it is worth trying." And by adjusting the number of work of the magic array, the power can be adjusted. ”

Seeing that there was a play, Charles immediately took out the "Charles Wind Turbine".

While the Wright sisters were working on the "Charles Wind Turbine", Charles wrote another check for half a million.

He said, "Well, let's adjust it." We set up the Macroross Group of Companies, which includes the Macroross Vehicle Company and the Macroross Power Company. We will focus our research on power companies first, and at the same time accelerate the production of vehicle companies, and first support the research of power companies with the profits of vehicle companies. At that time, we will decide whether to start the aircraft project according to the situation. ”

"Yes!" the Wright sisters agreed.

They are only in their early 300s, and they are at a vigorous and energetic age, and now a great opportunity is in front of them, and they naturally want to seize it.

Even if they fail...... It doesn't seem that there is much loss, the money is from someone, they are out of technology and management, and they can go home to open a small workshop after the company is bankrupt and liquidated.

On Charles's side, the funds are invested in installments, and even if they fail, they will not cause much loss. As long as the basic plate of the family is still there, he has a chance to make a comeback.

Most importantly, he planted a seed with Sister Wright.

It's the same thing he did in the kingdom of Rurik, he wants to see how the last seed will grow.
