Chapter 19 The Five Elements of the Earth Image Sutra

When Zhang Tie slowly and steadily drove the human-powered plane down from the sky, a large crowd of people immediately surrounded it.

As a citizen of the Hern Republic, the engineers at the glider base in the Hern Republic feel really blessed to be able to see miracles related to glider here in a short period of time.

A few months ago, Zhang Tie created a miracle while running here, but today, Zhang Tie created a miracle while sitting. Compared with the first miracle, this second miracle is even more exciting .

"Can the weight of this human-powered plane be reduced?" Zhang Tie asked the experts from the Hern Republic after getting off the man-powered plane.

"Now we have used very expensive light alloy materials to manufacture this human-powered aircraft. Although the appearance of this human-powered aircraft is similar to that of the Windtalker, in fact, in terms of internal and external structural composition and materials, We have done a lot of optimizations, and it is because of these optimizations that we can increase the speed change 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 kg. This is already the limit." An expert explained to Zhang Tie.

Following the expert's explanation, Zhang Tie knew that in a country like the Hern Republic, which loves flying, someone had proposed the concept of manufacturing a human-powered aircraft a long time ago. The glider provides a power that turns the glider into a real human-powered aircraft.

In fact, all the people who proposed this kind of idea failed in the end. There are two main reasons for their failure. The first is that the human-powered aircraft produced are too heavy, and almost no one can make such a human-powered aircraft truly The second reason for flying into the sky is that even if a human-powered aircraft with a very light weight can be managed, the flight performance of that kind of human-powered aircraft is completely tasteless, not even as good as a glider. An airplane can be called an airplane.

A few years ago, the Hern Republic used canvas and some light alloy materials to manufacture a human-powered aircraft. The weight of that human-powered aircraft was successfully controlled within 150 kilograms after it was manufactured. During the test flight, The best result achieved by that human-powered aircraft was to successfully fly thirty-seven kilometers at a height of less than five meters from the ground.

After the failure of the test of the light human-powered aircraft, the engineers and glider enthusiasts of the Hern Republic came to a conclusion that the human-powered aircraft of this era must be built on excellent aircraft with excellent lift-to-drag ratio and The structure of the aerodynamic layout of the glider is meaningful, and the weight of a glider that meets these conditions is generally more than 700 kilograms. It is not a requirement for the driver to be able to continuously drive and drive such a human aircraft. Generally high. In addition to being a top-notch expert at controlling the glider, the pilot must also possess incomparable strength and endurance.

It can be said that in the future, what really determines whether a human-powered aircraft can go to the sky is not whether such a human-powered aircraft can be manufactured, but whether such a human-powered aircraft can be found.

The Herne Republic is just a pocket country, and its total population is not as large as that of Black Flame City before. In such a pocket country, there are very, very few masters above level ten.

To describe Zhang Tie's advantage in one sentence, those who are stronger and more durable than him can't fly a glider, and those who can fly a glider don't have as much strength and endurance as him.

In the eyes of many experts, gliding is a low-end, civilian sport,

Most of the people who really like this sport are ordinary people. Few people who are above strong fighters will go idle and play some kind of glider. In the eyes of ordinary people, playing glider is a sport, but in the eyes of experts It is purely like playing mahjong, it is completely a boring pastime, if you really have to work hard to break through to the next level or advanced knight as soon as possible, it is better than anything else.

It was under the combined effect of these various factors that Zhang Tie became the first person in this era to fly a human-powered plane into the blue sky by relying on his own strength.

Zhang Tie left the glider base after removing 1,000 full-effect potions from the Fool airship and leaving them to the glider base of the Horn Republic as his thanks.

Experts and engineers from the Hern Republic made a total of three human-powered planes for Zhang Tie this time, but one of them was a demonstration plane. Although it could fly, there were still some parts that were not perfect, so it was left on the glider. At the base, what Zhang Tie took away were the two final completed versions, as well as a bunch of detailed manufacturing drawings and some parts used for replacement and maintenance.

The only thing that a human-powered aircraft needs to pay attention to is the speed change gear set inside the plane, but the gear set should be maintained with lubricating oil at ordinary times. When it comes to replacement, according to the experts and engineers in the Hern Republic, even if Zhang Tie I ride a manpower plane to the sky for ten hours every day, and the gear set inside the manpower plane will not have any problems within ten years—the gear set is the most sophisticated industrial product from the Eastern Continent, and its durability And precision, the gears on the difference machine are on the same level.

After staying at the glider base in the Herne Republic for almost a day, when Zhang Tie returned to the Crystal War Castle on the Fool, there were already two bright moons in the sky.

Major General Ford had been waiting for Zhang Tie at the Crystal Battle Fort for four hours. Almost as soon as Zhang Tie came back, Major General Ford boarded the airship Fool.

...

Zhang Tie and Ford met again in the command room of the airship.

"Hello, Major General Ford, you seem to have brought me a gift?" As soon as Zhang Tie saw Major General Ford, his eyes were fixed on the box that Major General Ford was carrying. , It was a metal box, and a metal chain on the box was directly fastened to the wrist of Major General Ford's right hand like a handcuff, which looked very precious.

Major General Ford took a look at Zhang Tie, put the box directly on the table, entered the password to open the box, and then took out a diamond-shaped crystal that was also covered with a layer of silver metal shell and handed it to Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie didn't speak, and after he got the thing that looked like a cheat book, a wave of mental power shot into it. In an instant, a few large Chinese characters appeared in Zhang Tie's mind-"The Classic of the Five Elements and Earth Images".
