Chapter 181 Still Going to Heaven
The failure of the aircraft test completely frustrated everyone. However, for the academicians in the "Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire", failure is natural. Here, there are 800 experiments conducted every day without 1,000. It is normal to fail hundreds of pieces. With the failure of the rotorcraft, another aircraft here was mounted on rails. This is a fixed-wing biplane, which is also a rocket-mounted aircraft, the difference is that people are sitting on it this time.
"John, don't worry that the wings are very strong, it's not as heavy as a rotor. And if you really can't control it, you jump out of it and escape with a life umbrella!"
Angelica, who saw John off, was really crazy. After a deep kiss, she sent more encouragement to her husband. It seemed that she had already made up for the results of the experiment.
As the Rockets' blue flames gushed up with some thick smoke, Martin explained to Zhao Fubo.
"Don't look at the large aircraft this time, in fact, there is much less danger!"
Zhao Fubo looked at the tail flame of the rocket that he had seen on the battlefield, but he didn't relax at all. At this time, because he had been away from Huaxia Island for a long time, he didn't know that triangular wings and gliders were relatively simple things, because there was a wind tunnel, which was not difficult to reproduce. Moreover, the materials used by the "Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire" at this moment were actually much better than those used in aircraft using steel pipes and linens compared to World War I. Because glass silk, a very promising material, is tough and light. It is used to make the skin of the aircraft and reduce the amount of steel in the skeleton to achieve the purpose of weight loss. Compared with linse, wood and steel pipes will only be lighter and stronger.
The thin wings of the three-wings provide considerable lift. From the slower gliding speed, it can be seen that the biplane is much heavier than the rotor. But it is relatively stable. With the rocket jets, the triplane slipped faster and faster on the slide rail. Finally, the triplane left the ground under the thrust of the rocket. As the moment it rose, everyone cheered.
This only represents one thing, that is, humans conquering the sky, and it is only a matter of time.
"Thank you, teacher, without the knowledge you brought, nothing could have been possible!"
Zhao Tabo hugged Teacher Martin's shoulder, and the excitement in his heart was difficult to express in words. I remember that when he was learning "mathematics, physics and chemistry" knowledge, the refugee formulas and dizzy calculations often made him feel whether he was too stupid. I remember that Teacher Martin answered this.
"According to scientific calculations, the human brain has been fully mature since entering the era of civilization. Just like the brains of Archimedes and the skilled craftsman Lu Ban, there is no difference from you and me. So I have the knowledge that Teacher Fu Bo can master. Apart from being too lazy, what reason do you have to tell me that it is difficult?"
Today, from Zhao Fubo's perspective, the first plane in human history to fly into the sky by relying on human power, proves exactly the following truth.
"After receiving enough knowledge, the brains of people in this era are no worse than those of future people!"
In fact, this does not require a plane to prove that many ignorant people can compare to Archimedes. Are our illiterate people today smarter than Michelangelo or Daphne?
The three-layer wing aircraft is flying in the sky, and the rockets have lost all thrust here. In order to reduce the weight, the aircraft that has lost power is gliding in the sky. This makes Zhao Fubo feel more time tight and he feels that the money in his pocket is really not enough. Because obviously, these scientific madmen will try to build gasoline engines. Even if the turbojets cannot be made, the piston-type one is always possible.
Even if the accuracy is not enough, it is nothing more than a smaller power and consume more fuel. Just like a hot-aircraft tethered airship, it breaks through whether there is any problem. It is like an airplane, not to mention strategic bombing. If you throw a grenade from the world, you will have to scare people to pee your pants? So whether it is a matter of quality or not is a matter of quantity. For example, the Fusang people would rather break 100 million jade at the end of World War II, but two nuclear weapons that are definitely primitive today are enough to scare all of them.
And this is precisely a breakthrough in the difference in "quality"? Compared with the world, whoever has the first difference in technology and can maintain this difference in quality will dominate the world.
Today, what excited Zhao Fubo the most was that today was the first real plane to fly into the sky. Even if it had only 30 seconds of real power to fly in the sky, it indicates that in the near future, the aircraft will no longer be a magical thing for the "Huaxia Empire". I believe that as long as it is not a fool, you can understand the benefits it can bring.
Zhao Fubo's excitement only caused more thoughts, but the scholars of the "Royal Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire" present, including their servants and followers, were filled with tears in their eyes. Especially the madman Iva, his sudden action here shocked everyone.
He was jumping excitedly, but suddenly his body softened and fell to the ground. His reaction made everyone panic and feel frightened, especially Zhao Fubo. At this moment, he had placed all his hopes in his heart on scholars like the madman Iva who were desperate to explore science. Losing any one would definitely be the greatest loss for him, Zhao Fubo.
I believe that this matter is magnified and will be nothing in front of those stupid emperors, and even be praised by many people to become gods, hasn't Kangxi, the first person in the world to invent a weapon of continuous shooting, and has also been exiled to the army outside the pass! Not to mention, at this moment, the Song Dynasty emperor who only knows how to use women and gold and silk to charm the barbarians.
But for Zhao Fubo, he is no longer a person from this era in the strict sense. This also includes all the people in the "Huaxia Empire". After all, they are learning the future "mathematics, physics and chemistry", rather than the Four Books and Five Classics that are useless. At least the Four Books and Five Classics cannot make planes, nor can they become truly powerful people based on science.
"It's okay, Iva is okay, he's just malnutrition!"
When the nutritionist said such words, the cheers rang even louder!
