Chapter 234 Han Dynasty Paragliding
After monitoring for a long time, I didn't hear the plan of the princess of the pavilion Tao.
She knew that there were people arranged by Liu Che to monitor near the Nagato Palace, but she didn't know that there was a surveillance robot arranged by Liu Zhang.
Princess Tao stayed in Changmen Palace to spend the night with her daughter, and Liu Zhang no longer continued to monitor.
In this way, a peaceful night passed, and the next morning, he went to work on time.
Just one day before going to the banquet held by Princess Tao Chang, Liu Zhang and they tested their paragliding.
Paragliding is a little easier to make than a hot air balloon, and manned experiments have not been carried out for the time being.
Because paragliding is more dangerous than hot air balloons, they just strapped to an object that weighs about a human for experiments.
Paragliding is carried out with the help of altitude differences, but also with the help of a certain amount of wind.
If the wind is too strong or too small, the height difference should not exceed more than one zhang.
If a person uses a paraglider to run and glide at a height difference of more than one zhang, there is a possibility of an accident.
Liu Zhang requires the height difference to be about five feet, that is, the height difference of about one meter.
Even if you fall, you won't be too badly injured.
A five-foot-high slide was created on the proving ground, after all, the paraglider was the first generation.
Improvements may be made in the future, and power paragliding will not be considered for the time being.
This requires a small propeller engine, diesel fuel, and a reversing rudder is essential.
The skeleton of the paraglider is made of composite materials, and the paragliding membrane also needs modern industrial materials.
The Han Dynasty did not have any of these and could only make paragliders from existing materials.
One person pulls the sturdy line, and the other pulls the tail of the paraglider.
The guy in front was running, and the two people behind were running at the same speed.
They act as boosters and will be used for practical purposes in the future.
Definitely can't do this, Liu Zhang has better drawings.
He didn't want it to grow so fast, or the craftsmen would complain.
Step by step, things can also be beneficial for them.
Wang Qing admired Liu Zhang's cleverness and was able to design such a good paraglider.
It looks and feels a little funny, with a wooden plank strapped to the paraglider.
The planks weighed a hundred pounds, and the man in front pulled the paraglider up with a string.
He didn't feel too heavy, anyone who worked in the Shang Fang Department.
The physical strength is not too bad, and some people can lift objects weighing more than 200 pounds.
The paraglider flew up, and the two men behind him let go of their hands suddenly.
The person in front of him was still running, and it looked like a large kite.
Whether you can successfully lead people to fly, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.
I've heard that giant birds are to be made, and they can fly with people.
These craftsmen find it too difficult, unless it is the reincarnation of Luban.
Ordinary people can't make a flying bird, if they just make a model.
It was still very easy, but fortunately, Liu Zhang persuaded Liu Che not to spend too much financial and material resources to make useless flying birds.
If you can make a mechanical bird fly, then the designer is absolutely amazing.
It's not that Liu Zhang can't do it, he just doesn't want to make it.
He can have craftsmen make hydrogen airships, as well as flying birds powered by propellers.
Coal can be used as fuel, and the flight altitude is a little higher than the hot air balloons used today.
The reason why Liu Zhang didn't want to make it was to keep himself in absolute advantage, whether it was a hot air balloon or paragliding.
poses a threat to his drone, in case he falls out with Liu Che one day.
Even if he starts a war with him, Liu Zhang will have an absolute advantage.
Of course, he has his own selfish intentions, and all the decisions he makes are for the safety of himself and his family.
Except for hot air balloons, which can be used to detect enemy situations, they are not very practical.
The paraglider flew up, and everyone watched intently.
Constant improvement these days, the first few failures.
They were very excited to see what they could do today.
If the emperor is happy, a reward is indispensable.
This was all brought to them by Liu Zhang, and of course they had to thank him.
The paragliding flight was successful, and then it was improved.
It's going to be manned, and that's a huge step forward.
Naturally, the paragliding protection is not as high as that of a hot air balloon, so there are no surprises.
Accidents can happen at any time, how many of these high-altitude aircraft will fail?
Liu Zhang told them that in the process of use, some things will be lost.
Just like humans and animals have a lifespan, inanimate things have a lifespan.
Frequent warranties are required to extend the service life unless someone uses it improperly.
"The big kite has successfully flown and improved it. I can definitely take people to fly, and I think it's better to change the name of the big kite. ”
"The big kite will be changed to paragliding, and you can see if it is gliding and flying during use."
Liu Zhang had already thought of the name, and Li Dang felt that it was very appropriate.
The paraglider is flying higher and higher, how do you get it to come down?
This is also a problem that everyone has to solve, and it can't be pulled with a rope all the time.
It doesn't feel safe, and you have to make improvements a lot to succeed.
"This paraglider needs to be improved, and there will be no rope in the future."
To solve the problem of landing, these paragliders will be used in real combat in the future.
If the paraglider is very close to the enemy, it is possible to be killed by the enemy's crossbow.
Paragliding is not as protective as a hot air balloon, which has much more functions than paragliding.
Liu Che still insisted that craftsmen make and improve paragliders and use them in actual combat as soon as possible.
Liu Che's thoughts, others can't guess, and Liu Zhang can only do what he asks.
Who made the family the emperor, he has a lot of power, and he doesn't have to spend money on Liu Zhang anyway.
Li Guang came, and he came to see the paragliding experiment according to Liu Che's instructions.
Two days ago, several generals came to pick up the hot air balloon, and they kept praising it.
Hot air balloons have improved the efficiency of reconnaissance, although they have not yet been used in actual combat.
During this time, the Han army conducted simulated warfare, and hot air balloons came in handy.
I hope that the Shang Fang Agency will create more things that are useful to the military, and this time will make Liu Zhang the hardest.
"The telescope built by Shang Fang's department is very useful, you can see far and clearly."
Some generals of the Han army were given a telescope, which was more conducive to their command of the battle.
They thought it was Liu Zhang's credit, and Li Guang felt that the telescope could be improved.
He didn't say it explicitly, which might upset Liu Zhang and the other craftsmen.
They have a lot to do, unless it is the emperor himself who orders them to improve the telescope.
"What shortcomings do you feel in the process of use, you can put forward. When marching and fighting, the things used must be responded to in time if there are shortcomings. ”
This is a matter of fate, and the shortcomings of the things used by the Han army are minimized as much as possible.
"Can you find a way to replace the bamboo tube of the telescope with something else, the bamboo tube doesn't feel very strong. You can use copper and iron, if only you could see farther and more clearly. ”
Li Guang put forward a suggestion to improve the bamboo tube originally used for the telescope and replace it with a metal one.
In fact, it is also possible, which makes the craftsman more laborious.
"It's good to make a telescope out of metal, it's just that it's too cold in winter. Without gloves, it is uncomfortable to hold in your hands. ”
Li Guang said that the bamboo tube is not strong, and that is not all right, the bamboo has been roasted.
The toughness of the bamboo is much stronger than when it was just collected, and Liu Che designed warm gloves.
The gloves were not made by the Shang Fang Department, and the clothes of the Han army were sewn by the garment factory.
He has already handed over the drawings to the garment workshop, which is not only to supply the military with military uniforms.
It was also necessary to sew fine clothes for the royal family, and it was not difficult to make gloves.
The materials are also ready-made, but the amount of production is a bit much.
It was too cold in winter, and the Han army would also sew gloves by themselves, but they looked rough.
Gloves can barely be used, if standard gloves can be issued.
They don't have to sew it themselves, and standard gloves are warmer and more wear-resistant.
"The bamboo tube used in this telescope is very strong, whether it needs to be improved, I will personally study it."
Li Guang and the others will continue to use the made telescope, and Liu Zhang will further improve the telescope.
He doesn't really want to do things in the Shang Fang Department anymore, if he behaves too well.
Those craftsmen will be resentful, they don't want to be too rolled here.
Some good things are made to too high a standard, which will waste them a lot of time.
It will also delay the production of other items, and the work pressure and time of the craftsman will increase.
The income is not high, and they are not cattle and horses. Do the most work, take the least money.
"Then you work harder, and you can improve it once. It's good for the fight, and it's good for you. ”
Li Guang admires Liu Zhang's talent very much, and he has indeed made a lot of good things recently.
The officers and men in the army were unanimously praised, and this greatly enhanced the combat superiority.
The craftsmen in the distance were not very happy when they heard Li Guang say this.
This is not the emperor's order to let them work overtime to produce.
They thought what they were doing was good enough, but the generals were more demanding.
