Chapter 2782 Da Vinci's Machine Gun
The first invention of Leonardo da Vinci that everyone saw first was the car that looked like three jumpers, which was placed directly behind the platform.
In fact, it is a self-propelled car made of wood, propelled by the alternating springs of the drive wheels.
The drawings of the prototype of this car have been handed down. Modern people have reproduced the car based on Da Vinci's drawings and found that the car can indeed work as designed by Da Vinci.
Although it can only move a little forward, backward, and left and right, the distance is very short, but it is commendable, so it is considered by some to be the world's first self-propelled car.
Due to its age and the environment here, Da Vinci's three-legged car is already quite worn out.
The wood of the car body is more or less rotten and pitted, and the metal gears and drive shafts, as well as all the metal components on the car body, are rusty and unusable for a long time!
However, its appearance is still intact, and its internal and external structure and working principle are all clear at a glance!
As a self-driving car, it can no longer function normally and has become a decoration.
After more than five hundred years, as a great invention of Da Vinci, it has already become a priceless top antique cultural relic!
Looking at this weird and somewhat crude three-bouncer, everyone's eyes lit up like searchlights!
Everyone is amazed by Da Vinci's superior intelligence and his unrestrained imagination, and they are also excited that the original shape of this car can be preserved until now!
"It's really hard to believe that Da Vinci designed such a self-driving car more than 500 years ago. Sometimes I really doubt whether Da Vinci is a modern person who traveled to ancient times!"
"The automobile prototype designed and manufactured by Leonardo da Vinci is really precious, and its discovery will definitely cause a sensation in the entire automobile industry, especially those famous automobile manufacturers, who may be crazy about it.
If I were the owner of a car company, I would stop at nothing to buy this da Vinci prototype and display it in my company. What better advertisement could there be? "
Just when everyone was amazed and discussing, Ye Tian had already squatted down, pretending to be serious about checking this priceless car.
He first checked the overall structure of the three bungee,
He also looked at the preservation of each component, then reached out and held the front wheel of the three bungee, and shook it slightly.
The wheel protruding forward did not move at all, nor did the connecting rod connecting it to the body, not even a sound.
Next, Ye Tian looked at a gear at the connection between the front of the car and the body and the disc that controls the speed of the car, and tried to turn the disc by hand, but the result was still the same, and the disc did not move at all!
Seeing this situation, the Bishop of Kent who stood aside said regretfully:
"It's a pity that the prototype of the car invented by Da Vinci has been here for too long, and it seems that it can't work. If it can work normally, the sensation will be even greater and the value will be higher!"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Tian smiled lightly and shook his head.
"Not necessarily, Bishop of Kent, Da Vinci's self-driving car may be repaired, we may see it running again, I am very much looking forward to seeing this scene.
As far as I know, the most critical part of the self-driving car created by Da Vinci is the two interactive springs. It can be seen that the two springs are rusty and have been scrapped.
As long as we make two identical new springs according to the specifications of these two alternating springs, replace the two old ones, and then polish off the rust on other metal components.
Next, as long as the rear wheels of the car are turned by manpower, the gears can be meshed with each other, the springs can be tightened to generate power, and then the force can be transmitted to the wheels through leverage.
In this way, the prototype of the car created by Leonardo da Vinci more than 500 years ago will be revived! Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done to get this prototype car to actually run.
For example, the disc that controls the speed of the car, the square wooden blocks in the disc, and the brake device, etc., must be carefully repaired, and the workload is far more than rebuilding a new car! ..."
While saying these words, Ye Tian kept pointing and telling everyone how to repair Da Vinci's three-legged car!
Following his words, everyone at the scene immediately became more excited, and the eyes that looked at this three-bouncer became even hotter!
Of course, the eyes of Giovanni and the rest of the Italians who were on the scene became even redder, looking quite scary!
At the same time, there are Turin not far from Milan, Stuttgart and Munich in Germany, Aichi Prefecture in Japan, Detroit in the United States and other headquarters of major automobile companies in the world.
Many bigwigs in the automobile industry are staring at the prototype of the automobile created by Da Vinci more than 500 years ago with blood-red eyes, and they are not willing to blink their eyelids!
Many of them took action immediately, and their goals were all highly consistent, which was to win this symbolic three bungee at all costs!
Not only them, many new ambitious car-making forces, top collectors who are keen on collecting cars, and famous museums are also salivating over this three-legged car from more than 500 years ago!
Back to the underground palace scene!
After Ye Tian, representatives of various parties and many experts and scholars stepped up one by one, and carefully admired Da Vinci's three-legged car. Everyone's eyes were full of enthusiasm!
In the process, an archaeologist from the University of Milan also discovered da Vinci's personal signature.
That is the abbreviation of Da Vinci's initials, LV, engraved under the thick connecting rod between the front and the body, and covered with a layer of rust, it is difficult to find without careful observation, very hidden!
The discovery of Da Vinci's personal signature directly confirms the provenance of this three-legged car, and also increases the value of this top antique cultural relic!
Unsurprisingly, bursts of warm applause and cheers erupted immediately at the scene and in front of countless live broadcast terminals. Everyone was very excited about this new discovery!
After admiring the car that was more than 500 years ago, Ye Tian and the others walked forward a few meters, and came to another invention of Da Vinci, and began to study and appreciate this treasure!
This is a mechanical device with thirty-three barrels, mounted on a two-wheeled vehicle with a metal hook at the back, apparently for towing!
At first glance, it looks like an upside-down double-row pipe organ, but it is actually an ancient machine gun. The thirty-three barrels are divided into upper and lower layers and arranged in a fan shape!
Due to its age, the barrel of this machine gun has been rusted and can no longer be used!
However, just from those rusty barrels, one can imagine how powerful and deadly this weapon is!
Unsurprisingly, Da Vinci's invention is also a priceless top antique cultural relic!
Compared with the previous three-bouncer, this organ-style machine gun is more familiar to everyone. As long as you have done some research on Da Vinci's life, you basically know the existence of this thing.

"Wow! This is a machine gun invented by Da Vinci when he was working as a military engineer for Caesar Borgia, but the time when Da Vinci defected to Caesar Borgia was in 1502, after he fled Milan !
From this point of view, the relevant records in the history books are not accurate. As early as the end of the fifteenth century, that is, in Milan, Da Vinci created this original machine gun, not after defecting to Borgia! "
"Obviously, this is the earliest machine gun designed and manufactured by Da Vinci, but it has never been known to the public. When the French attacked Milan, they didn't use it for some reason, but hid it here!"
There was a burst of discussion at the scene, and everyone was very excited!
Just as everyone was talking about it, Ye Tian had already walked to the machine gun and began to inspect this priceless antique!
