When Zhang Tie slowly and steadily drove the human-powered plane down from the sky, a large number of people suddenly surrounded him.
As a citizen of the Republic of Hernand, the engineers at the glider base in the Republic of Hernand are really happy to be able to see all the miracles related to gliders here in a short period of time.
A few months ago, Zhang Tie created a miracle while running here, and today, Zhang Tie created a miracle while sitting down. Compared with the first miracle, this second miracle is even more exciting. .
"Can the weight of this human-powered aircraft be reduced further?" Zhang Tie asked the experts from the Republic of Holland after getting off the human-powered aircraft.
"We have now used very expensive lightweight alloy materials to manufacture this human-powered aircraft. In terms of the appearance of this human-powered aircraft, although it is similar to the Windtalker, in fact, in terms of internal and external structural composition and materials, We have done a lot of optimizations. It is precisely because of these optimizations that we have been able to add a transmission gear set and some control mechanisms and mechanisms inside this human-powered aircraft, and at the same time reduce the weight of this human-powered aircraft to 670 kilograms. This is already the limit." An expert explained to Zhang Tie.
Following the expert's explanation, Zhang Tiecai realized that in a country like the Republic of Hernand, which loves flying, someone had actually proposed the concept of manufacturing human-powered aircraft a long time ago. Many people had imagined using bicycles to make airplanes. The glider provides a power source that turns the glider into a true human-powered aircraft.
In fact, everyone who proposed this idea failed in the end. There were two main reasons for their failure. The first was that the human-powered aircraft produced was too heavy. Almost no one could make such a human-powered aircraft truly fly. Flying into the sky, the second reason is that even if a very light-weight human-powered aircraft is barely made, the flight performance of that human-powered aircraft is completely useless, even worse than a glider. No one in the Republic of Hernandez thinks that is the case. A human-powered aircraft can be considered an airplane.
A few years ago, the Republic of Holland built a human-powered aircraft using canvas and some lightweight alloy materials. The weight of the human-powered aircraft was successfully controlled within 150 kilograms after it was manufactured. During the test flight, the best result achieved by the human-powered aircraft was to successfully fly within five meters of the ground. It flew thirty-seven kilometers.
After the failure of the test of that light human-powered aircraft, engineers and glider enthusiasts in the Republic of Hernandez came to the conclusion that human-powered aircraft of this era must be built on excellence. The structure of a glider with excellent lift-to-drag ratio and aerodynamic layout makes sense, and the weight of a glider that meets these conditions. They are generally over 700 kilograms, and can continuously drive and pilot such a human-powered aircraft. Its requirements on the driver are not generally high. In addition to being a top master at controlling a glider, the pilot must also possess immense strength and endurance.
It can be said that later on, what really determines whether a human-powered aircraft can fly into the sky is no longer whether such a human-powered aircraft can be built, but whether a person can be found who can fly such a human-powered aircraft.
The Republic of Hoenn is just a pocket country, and its total population is not as large as that of Black Flame City before. In such a small country, masters above level ten are very, very rare.
To describe Zhang Tie's advantage in one sentence, that is, no one with greater strength and endurance than him can fly a glider, and those who can fly a glider have less strength and endurance than him.
In the eyes of many experts, glider sports are a low-end sport. It is a civilian sport. Most of the people who really like this sport are ordinary people. There are very few people above strong warriors who will play gliders when they are idle and bored. In the eyes of ordinary people, playing gliders is a sport, but in the eyes of experts, it is a sport. In eyes. It's just like playing mahjong. It's just a boring pastime. If you really have that little effort, try to break through to the next level or advance to the knight level as soon as possible. It's better than anything else.
It was under the combined effect of these various factors that Zhang Tiecai became the first person in this era to fly a human-powered aircraft into the sky by his own strength.
After moving 1,000 full-effect medicines from the Idiot airship and leaving them at the Hern Republic glider base as a thank you, Zhang Tie left the glider base.
Experts and engineers from the Republic of Holland built a total of three human-powered aircraft for Zhang Tie this time. But one of them was a verification aircraft. Although it could fly, there were still some aspects that were not perfect, so it was left at the glider base. What Zhang Tie took away were the two final versions, as well as a bunch of detailed manufacturing instructions. Drawings and parts used for replacement and maintenance.
The only thing that needs attention in a human-powered aircraft is the gear set inside the aircraft. However, the gear set should be maintained with lubricating oil. When it comes to replacement, according to the experts and engineers of the Republic of Hernandez, even if Zhang Tie I ride a human-powered aircraft around the sky for ten hours every day, and the gear set inside the human-powered aircraft will not have any problems within ten years - that gear set is the most sophisticated industrial product from the Eastern Continent, and its durability and Precision is on the same level as the gears on the differential engine.
After spending almost a whole day at the glider base in the Republic of Hohn, by the time Zhang Tie returned to the Crystal Battle Castle on the Idiot, two bright moons were already hanging in the sky.
Major General Ford had been waiting for Zhang Tie at Crystal Battle Castle for four hours. Almost as soon as Zhang Tie came back, Major General Ford boarded the Idiot airship.
…
Zhang Tie and Fu Fu met again in the airship's command room.
"Hello, Major General Ford, it looks like you brought me a gift?" As soon as he saw Major General Ford, Zhang Tie's eyes were fixed on the box that Major General Ford was carrying. , it was a metal box. There was a metal chain on the box that was fastened directly to the wrist of Major General Ford's right hand like a handcuff. It looked very valuable.
Major General Ford glanced at Zhang Tie, put the box on the table, entered the password to open the box, and then took out a diamond-shaped crystal also covered with a silver metal shell and handed it to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie didn't say anything. After taking what looked like a secret book in his hand, he poured his mental power into it. In an instant, several large Chinese characters appeared in Zhang Tie's mind - "Five Elements and Earth Image Sutra".
…
PS: First of all, I would like to thank the Book Friends God for your support of Tiger, thank you!
Let’s talk about what happened to Tiger these days. Like all Chinese people, my wife and daughter have been on vacation these days, but they took their vacation earlier. On the 29th, my wife asked for leave from the company, and my daughter asked for leave from the kindergarten. , the wife wants to go back to her parents' home, and the daughter wants to experience nature with her friends, so the tiger is caught. The travel plan is to stagger the peak hours and try to save time on the road.
The strong man went with his computer and was prepared to take care of both ends. So on the 29th and 30th, although Tiger was on the road, he still tried his best to make time to update. However, on the 1st and 2nd, he could not take care of both ends. He could touch every day in these two days. The computer time does not exceed 30 minutes. Even connecting to the Internet and explaining it to everyone is a luxury, so I stopped updating for two days. I hope everyone understands that I will make up for what I owe in the past few days.
