Chapter 236 Test Flight

"Well, with this plan... all the performances are perfectly up to standard."

Zhongyan held up the draft paper and placed the final blueprint, which had been discussed all day long, in front of the talisman lamp. The dim light penetrated the paper, revealing all traces on the paper extremely clearly.

If we talk about the body, it is very much like a bone, but this bone is smaller and flatter, and at the same time it extends outwards to form a solid frame structure.

Each bone/frame has an independent power source, but it is only connected to the system to provide the ability to levitate objects carried by the frame. The forward speed and direction are provided by the nose and tail, and the multiple frames in the middle are directly connected by the auxiliary brackets.

돗 is not beautiful, but 놆 is simple enough.

Each section of the structure is like a vehicle turned over. The top of the vehicle is visible to the naked eye. Protective armor is installed on the top, and a pod is suspended under the keel or a combat unit is directly suspended.

75% increase in carrying weight.

The new framed configuration provides a five-density payload, and the structural units are not stored in the warehouse, but parked directly on separate frames.

These steel creations have rough skin and thick flesh, and there is no problem hanging on the outside.

An aerospace craft capable of transporting troops and armored units has been designed - it can even be used to transport cargo in the territory.

Although the appearance is far from that of a conventional aerostat, this solution can squeeze out the performance of the aerostat engine to the maximum extent.

Of course, we only had the initial design ideas. Today's inspiration only pushed us to complete the design work. We still need to actually build a few to see if they are practical, and then spend a few days perfecting and calculating them.

뀪Is this situation a matter of accumulation?...

Such an air freight train is limited by the structural strength of the existing materials in the territory. How many frames are optimal for installation? Will installing too many frames cause the support structure to suffer excessive stress and break?

But at least we have a direction.

As the aerostat design plan was handed over to the dean of the college, the local factory responsible for production operations immediately suspended all operations and devoted all resources to serving the aerostat project.

Only the factory affiliated with the college has the ability to produce the nose, tail and frame of the aerostat. Unfortunately, the current territory has not yet demonstrated the technology of large shipyards, nor has it completed the steam engines of the steam era.

All structural production capacity comes from the small factory in the college.

Without mechanical assistance and relying solely on manpower to manufacture, the speed can only be evaluated by human fingers. Wooden-iron cranes and heavy-duty cranes driven by steam engines are incomparable in terms of stability and carrying capacity.

"But we are ready to conduct experiments..."

The dean looked at the report in his hand and couldn't put it down. Zhong said that the 90% performance improvement he had made for the floating stone engine was enough to surprise him. At this time, Zhongyan came forward with the aerospace craft project which was far more excellent than expected, a structure with real value.

"This experimental project is to mount a steam spider in the air, but the frame does not have a propulsion system. The experimental project activates the suspension device and mounts a steam spider and heavy objects, with a total height of 4.5 meters. The height is 10m놅 The 24-hour mounting experiment was conducted at high altitude, and the experiment was conducted at sea.”

To verify the feasibility of the frame scheme and the feasibility of the body suspension scheme.

This experiment does not require someone to climb up and control the floating stone engine frame. The internal energy is enough to maintain the suspension for 48 hours... After the energy is exhausted, it will slowly lower to the ground.

A thick rope is also needed to tie the engine to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. It would be better if something as embarrassing as the territory's first aerostat being blown away by the wind during an experiment would not happen...

The dean of the college looked at the floating stone engine being dragged to the sea by a large raft not far away, and watched it rise, ten meters high, floating stably in the air.

No slipping, no breaking, no accidents. 돗Stable and floating on the surface of the deep blue sea.

Like a lighthouse that guides visitors, it floats steadily on the sea.

놛Aware of a very serious problem.

The floating stone engine only has a manual emergency switch. The design does not retain the sensor set that can interact remotely, but the plan is to have unified control on the front of the car.

Then the manual switch of the floating stone engine needs to be manually... If it breaks, no one in the territory can fly!

"It feels like flying in the sky! It's great!"

Sif pressed her hands on the airship and her voice trembled. She wasn't sure whether she was excited for her first flight or because she was afraid of heights.

"Of course, it feels like the sky."

Zhongyan stretched out his hand and touched the sky just a few feet away. Although he was not able to fly like a bird, he could still rely on floating stones to rise into the sky.

Riding on a miniature aeroboat made of a small amount of aerospace stones that can accommodate two people, their current height is already 500 meters above the ground.

No one in this territory has ever touched the sky.

놇Here you can see that the residential areas below are planned like long blocks, and the houses built with wood and stone structures look surprisingly small from the air. Three stone roads stretched towards the continuous green fields, and the beasts and freight convoys above them looked like ants.

I want to shout out my excitement to the clouds.

"I have never seen this land from a high altitude."

In 2017, on January 10, the main structure of the airborne carrier was tested.

In 2017, on January 15, the three-day trial of the airborne carrier in the territory was completed.

In 2017, on January 17, it was officially put into mass production, and the production capacity of the affiliated factory of the Steam Spider Branch College was increased.
