Chapter 42: Resisting the Wind

The night wind howled, and the lonely moon hung high.

Together with Xiao Su, he returned to the forging field, and everything was ready!

The pottery fan in the shape of a wooden boat was first teleported here, and it is the skeleton part of the windmill.

The skeleton of the Raptor is larger than the previous windmill, seven meters deep, nearly three meters wide at its widest point, and one person tall in inner diameter.

Su Jinglu introduced: "Codenamed Raptor, the third generation of windmills, seven-seat layout, this is the first attempt to make the windmill so big. The small size of the first-generation windmill and the second-generation windmill has a lot to do with the lack of toughness of the steel structure. ”

Tao Fan was in place, and the next step was to pour blood-red molten iron into the furnace.

The four salamanders were given a short break, and all of them were small ones, with black skin scales, large eyes, osprey faces, and pointed beaks, side by side, except for the slightly taller leader, who was literally quadruplets.

One by one, with their beaks as hard as iron, leaning against the side, panting, and even when they gasped, there were wisps of fire in their mouths.

There were a total of ten foundries, uniformly dressed, all dressed in neat black metal scale armor.

The design of this scale armor bears a slight resemblance to the black skin scale armor of salamanders. With a metal veil on his head and dark crystal eyes, he is fully armed, and his function and code number are printed on the back.

Foundry is further divided into: stoker, micro-operator, grinder, and welder.

Two foundries, standing behind the furnace, manipulated the connecting levers and prepared to turn the furnace.

Xiao Su waved his hand: "Let's start!"

Su San stood in front of them, commanding them, concentrating, and began the first part of the grout casting.

I saw that the connecting rod pryed the outermost large gear at the bottom of the furnace, and the large gear drove the inner pinion, and the base of the furnace was welded with two chain tracks, and the pinion and the track were tightly occluded, and with the slow rotation of the pinion, the whole furnace began to tilt slowly.

The furnace itself weighs ten tons, and there are three tons of steel melt in it, so it is still a little difficult for two foundries, one person to operate a connecting rod.

The whole grouting process is neither fast nor slow.

If it is fast, it is easy to fail, causing danger, and if it is slow, the molten will cool, the viscosity will increase, and the probability of one-time molding will be reduced.

The manufacture of high-grade stainless steel series equipment requires a group of very experienced casters to handle the casting.

The vertical furnace slowly tilted sixty degrees, and suddenly, a red fluid with flames and a viscous blood flowed out from the mouth of the furnace's nozzle.

Squeak!

Peng!

Peng!

The molten slurry flowed into the pottery fan, and the temperature inside instantly increased, and the sound of air explosion was endless.

The hot molten slurry, the high temperature close to 3000 degrees, was so hot and manic that the surrounding air was boiling.

Soon, all the air in the pottery fan was discharged, there was no sound of air explosion, and the grouting was completed.

Su San immediately waved his hand, the connecting rod was leveraged, the gear turned quickly, and the furnace was slowly straightened. The four salamanders quickly returned to work and began to breathe fire again.

This is the benefit of salamanders, which can provide enough flame in the fastest time to maintain the high temperature in the furnace and prevent the molten slurry from cooling and agglomerating.

The overall structure of the windmill is the most critical part of the overall casting, and the whole grouting process is very smooth.

"Mr. Su San, you have worked hard here, I have something to do with Brother Xiu, go to the design room, you can call me at any time if you need to. Su Jinglu commanded.

"Okay, Young Sect Master. Su San nodded, organized the work in an orderly manner, and began to prepare for the casting of the next key component.

The cold wind followed Xiao Su, away from the steaming and roasting of the furnace, and his heart was instantly refreshed.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Located at the southernmost end of the entire factory, the three-zhang square drawing room is brightly lit.

Inside the bookcase were volumes of parchment drawings, some of which were years old, severely dehydrated, with yellowed pages with black spots, and a strong smell of rotten wood, somewhat pungent.

In the middle of the room, there was a large rectangular table, on which was covered with a new scroll of drawings, soft and white, and at first glance it was known that it was a fine lambskin, and it was brand new.

"Brother Feng, let's take a look at the blueprints of the codename Raptor. ”

Su Jinglu smiled and showed his teeth, and slowly spread out the roll of parchment and presented it under the light.

The parchment roll is one zhang long and two feet wide, and the lines outlined by the ink are clear and bright.

The first thing that caught his eye was the perspective of the codename Raptor, and although the brushstrokes were still a little jerky, the whole design concept was fully displayed.

The predecessor of the Codename Raptor, with a sleek and sleek tail and a winged wing, has three wheels on the wings and tail that provide forward momentum, and one on top that provides upward power.

The front face is an integrated see-through glass design, and the portholes on both sides are more fluid and humanized.

Han Feng nodded, looked at Su Jinglu with approving, and said: "It's very cool, the seven seats are lengthened, the streamlines are bright and smooth, the golden ratio, the shape is atmospheric, it just looks a little familiar......"

When Su Jinglu heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "This is my new invention, how can you have seen it?"

After carefully observing, the cold wind pondered for a long time, it was indeed a little familiar, but it was not like a bird of prey flying in the sky, and suddenly, the image of a sea creature appeared in my mind.

"Blue whale, codename Raptor means a bit of a deep-sea blue whaleβ€”" He suddenly realized and smiled happily.

The streamline is smooth, the seven seats are lengthened, the head is slightly larger, the tail is light, and the overall look and feel are very consistent with the temperament of the blue whale.

"Well, even if you have a bad eye, my idea is from the giant of the Hanhai - the blue whale. I hope that the codename Raptor can be as fearless as the blue whale, one gallops in the Hanhai, and the other eagle strikes the sky!"

"According to your design, the Codename Raptor can volley 10,000 meters in the air, which is already very powerful. Imitating the blue whale, this is the application of the knowledge of bionics. "Hanfeng admires Xiao Su's masterpiece very much, codenamed Raptor, and the name of the third-generation windmill is also domineering.

"There should be room for improvement. Su Jinglu smiled indifferently.

Then, Hanfeng's attention shifted to the design of the wind wheel.

According to the design drawings, the operating principle of the wind wheel is not complicated, the appearance of the round turbine, the diameter of three feet, six turbine blades, the wind spirit stone is placed in the central axis position, through the wind spirit stone continues to spray thin wind elements, drive the turbine to rotate, the formation of driving force.

"Xiao Su, does the power of the Wind Turbine have a lot to do with the energy efficiency of the Wind Spirit Stone?" he asked.

"Yes, ordinary wind spirit stones can't drive a wind wheel of this specification at all. Only the Wind Yuan Stone, one of the Five Elements Yuan Stone, can drive the operation. ”

The size and speed of the turbine blades determine the amount of forward or upward driving force, and ultimately depend on the energy efficiency of the wind spirit stone.

Wind spirit stone is a relatively common wind element ore in nature, and the purity is generally between 50%-60%.

Han Feng held the parchment roll, looked at it carefully, pondered for a moment, and was shocked: "You have also made a special treatment on the turbine blades, using microcrystalline stones with extremely high stiffness. Driven by the wind element, the heat energy generated is easy to accumulate and hinder the continuous operation of the turbine blades. ”

Although the wind element stone and the wind spirit stone are both crystallization of the wind element, the essence is different, and the wind energy in the wind element stone is thousands of times larger than the wind spirit stone of the same volume.

The microstructure of the wind element condensation is completely different, and the energy level of the crystal is very different.

Xiao Su smiled with relief: "The speed of the blades can reach almost 10,000 times per second, and because the friction between the wind element and the turbine blades is too great, the heat generated cannot be discharged in time. If it weren't for the attachment of a microcrystalline stone with transcendent stiffness to the blade, the high-speed wind wheel would soon yield to stiffness and fail. ”

The style of the Five Elements Sect comes and goes, and a solid family background is the foundation.

Using high-grade steel as raw materials and Fengyuan stone as the driving energy, only the Five Elements Sect would be so willing.

Han Feng guessed in his heart that the Five Elements Sect was good at planning and liked to interpret the future for strategic layout.

The code name Raptor must be a special product for some strategic purpose, and its flight altitude can reach an altitude of 10,000 meters, surpassing the limit altitude of the Empty Valley Dojo.

That is, codenamed Raptor - can fly over the Hollow Valley Dojo.

Throughout the night, ten foundries completed the casting of all the components of the code name Raptor.

It will take them another one to two days to complete the assembly work.

Codenamed Raptor, it has a total of 108 parts, the overall structure frame, flanks, rear wings, transmission shafts, turbine blades, connecting components and floor brackets, all of which are made of high-quality stainless steel.
