It took a day of hard work to finally salvage all the crashed planes.

When a car transported the parts that were still dripping to the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, the newspaper also published the incident.

"Liu Jinghong's Failure"

"The latest achievement of aviation director Liu Jinghong, the experiment failed, and the Swordfish plane crashed into the sea"

How far are humans from the blue sky? 》

"Can this failure make the Aviation Institute make persistent efforts? 》

……

Li Zhen read all these newspapers, and sighed faintly, it is impossible for dual power to succeed at present, which he has long expected.

It's not just the top technology that can't keep up, but the basic industry can't keep up either.

For the time being, the new Kyushu does not have the kind of precision industrial support, and the engine with the same power is almost an impossible task for the current basic industry.

That road is too far away. There is still a long way to go.

Li Zhen wanted to warn Liu Jinghong, so that he should not be discouraged, and it was better to walk step by step in a down-to-earth manner than anything else. But after thinking about it, I still held back. He felt that Liu Jinghong should not be defeated by this defeat.

He should be able to figure it out. I can understand that the moat in this cannot be crossed.

Science needs to be stubborn, but it's better not to have a single tendon.

Sometimes a path doesn't work, and walking from the side may lead to unexpected gains.

Li Zhen has some understanding of the impetuous atmosphere of the current Kyushu Academy of Sciences.

Everyone feels that they are already the people of the world's most high-end universities, and the world's top intellectuals. Everyone was more or less inflated and anxious.

They all want to eat a fat man in one bite to prove that they are the best in the world.

But in fact, this mentality is a mistake, and there is no such thing as eating a fat person in one bite. Along the way, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences has been down-to-earth and slow. I didn't say that I was going to study something terrible when I appeared.

However, Li Zhen can't say these words clearly, otherwise it will dampen everyone's enthusiasm.

The road needs them to walk by themselves, and Li Zhen only needs to be a guide. Supporting them in the right direction, that's enough.

Aviation Research Institute.

Everyone was in a daze around the big pile of parts, with a look of defeat and shame in their eyes.

Crash!

It's unforgivable.

What kind of mistake was it that caused the crash to happen?

Since the birth of the Aviation Institute, there have been a total of two crashes. A crash cost Vice President Xu Xiufeng's life, and the second crash almost cost Fang Aerospace his life.

This responsibility is too heavy. They were a little breathless.

Liu Jinghong was silent for a whole day, and at this time, he suddenly stood up and clapped his hands: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. Now that the work begins, the wreckage is being repaired, and everyone has to make a detailed report to analyze exactly what went wrong. Send another person to the hospital, and the other party will make a record of him, and let him tell all the experiences and feelings in detail. It's important to us. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone has their part to do their job.

But everyone actually knows that the most serious mistake of this crash is that it cannot fly in a straight line due to unbalanced power.

Liu Jinghong looked up at the starry sky and sighed secretly, could it be that a dual-powered aircraft really can't be realized?

The Swordfish ran aground?

Looking at this large pile of wreckage with some sorrow, and vaguely seeing the extremely beautiful lines, Liu Jinghong's eyes had a heavy look: "This type of aircraft is specially designed for the Swordfish." My proudest work is now being rejected the most severely. Is it to change it again, honestly enter the aerospace first, and then consider competing for the blue sky? ”

Liu Jinghong clenched his fist, and this time, I gave up.

Okay, according to what Master Li said, start by climbing, then learn to walk, and finally fly.

It's me who is so ambitious.

Aircraft that think they have completely figured out the front engine are no longer bother to develop them.

But now, it seems that we need to start from scratch.

I'm inflated......

It took Liu Jinghong one night to make a final decision, and the next day, he announced to the entire Kyushu Academy of Sciences: "All files of the Swordfish are temporarily sealed." All the personnel worked from scratch to develop a front-powered aircraft. ”

Someone asked: "If it is a single engine, then our direction is biplane or monoplane?" ”

Liu Jinghong was silent for a moment: "Wings!" ”

Only the wings, for the moment can be a smoother flight. And the technical difficulty of the single wing is a little too great.

The Aviation Academy immediately sealed all the information of the Swordfish, and all the students subconsciously forgot about the Swordfish.

But only they themselves know, the entire aviation research institute, including the dean Liu Jinghong. I have a dream in my heart.

Monoplane twin-powered aircraft!

This time it is so ambitious, it does not mean that the taboo will not be touched permanently.

They just sealed it. One day, the Aviation Research Institute, which has more experience and technology, will surely let the Swordfish truly conquer the blue sky and become the air supremacy.

I've already tried a dual-powered aircraft, and the one with the front engine is more familiar.

It's not the first day you've dealt with airplanes. What shape can have a better streamline, better ability to break the wind. What kind of angle of attack can make it easier to fly into the sky, more stable.

This is already well understood.

The peasants of that era were able to dismantle motorcycle engines and build small gliders. How could the experts of the Aviation Research Institute of New Kyushu not be able to design even the simplest model?

I haven't tried it before, just because everyone is inflated. I feel that kind of insignificance, and I don't bother to develop it.

But now starting from scratch, they have to keep their feet on the ground.

It didn't take long for a new model of biplane to be perfectly presented on the drawings.

It is still a double wing, and the fuselage is made of wood and wrapped in aluminum sheets.

Two seats, one in front and one behind. One is the main driver and the other is the co-pilot.

The plane is not large, only about five meters long. The wingspan is just over six meters.

It looks like a miniature flying machine, so it's too compact. It doesn't feel like an airplane at all, it's more like a child's toy.

Liu Jinghong named the plane - Grasshopper.

It's a fitting name. This small five-meter-square plane does look like a grasshopper.

It is worth mentioning that the power requirements of the Grasshopper aircraft for the engine are not high, and the single-row seven-cylinder star engine can be completely driven.

The total weight is forecast to be 200 kilograms. If it were powered by a seven-cylinder engine and then sat on the people, the Grasshopper's expected speed could reach 180 kilometers per hour.

If a higher-power two-row seven-cylinder radial engine is used. This number is to be doubled.
