Chapter 518: Congratulations on Creating History

Chu Tianbao pointed at the glass window of the research room. “Can’t you just use glass? The kind that can be lowered with a press.”
A glass that could be lowered with a press was quite challenging with the current technology.
Zhao Yunning smiled and added, “The glass that can be lowered with a press won’t be possible. But it can be lowered with a twist of the handle.”
Zhao Yuan’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly noted it down. He couldn’t wait for Chu Tianbao to continue suggesting what else could be improved.
Chu Tianbao really wanted to drive a modern car. He said, “You can only drive the tricycle alone and travel alone. If it’s a family, do you have to buy a car for everyone and learn how to drive it?”
“Since you have to design the carriage anyway, you can design seats next to you and a few people in the back.”
“Oh, you can also design a carriage at the back so that there’s also space to store the pork when we go to the farm.”
According to Chu Tianbao’s description, Zhao Yuan had already drawn the prototype of a car on the blueprint.
Chu Tianbao continued, “If this kind of car is used to carry people, only a family of three can be carried. You can also think about carrying dozens or hundreds on a vehicle at once.”
Zhao Yuan widened his eyes in disbelief, but he wanted to note down the key points. He hurriedly asked, “Your Highness, what do you think a car with dozens of people look like?”
Chu Tianbao recalled the bus. “It’s like a big square box with four big wheels, headlights, and a lot of seats. The commoners can sit on the vehicle, and there are headlights and horns. The driver drives in front. He opens and closes the door, and people can enter and exit through the door.”
The more Chu Tianbao spoke, the more detailed he became. He was just short of saying the word ‘bus’.
Fortunately, everyone’s acceptance was extremely high, so they did not think about whether Chu Tianbao had seen it with his own eyes. Otherwise, how could he explain it in such detail?
Zhao Yuan even looked surprised and praised Chu Tianbao for giving him a lot of inspiration.
He asked again, “The cars for hundreds of people shouldn’t have only four wheels, right?”
Chu Tianbao thought about the train and said, “You can connect countless carriages.”
Zhao Yuan was stunned. He had an expression that said, “How long will this car be? How can it move?”
Bai Wutong added for Chu Tianbao, “It’s not impossible. We can specially build a lane for such cars.”
Zhao Yuan imagined it in his mind and felt that his imagination was really not wild enough. “Great Empress, what about reversing the car? It can’t be that we won’t be able to return after driving this car over, right?”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Perhaps we can design a two-headed carriage that can drive in both directions.”
Zhao Yuan immediately had an expression that said that his brain was indeed too small. He couldn’t help but ask, “But isn’t it too resource-consuming to specially build a road for a car?”
Bai Wutong shook her head. “We can also have another car.” She took out a pen and paper and drew a temporary parking path on the map. When the car in front set off, the next car would enter the normal track.
Zhao Yuan came to a realization.
He said excitedly, “If we can carry hundreds and thousands of people at once, that will be too convenient.”
Chu Tianbao continued, “We can also transport goods.”
Zhao Yuan hurriedly recorded it down. On the other side, Hai Dongli also received a lot of inspiration from Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong’s words. He leaned forward and wrote on the paper. “If Your Highness wants to fly into the sky, what method will you use?”
Chu Tianbao couldn’t help but think of the rocket Bai Wutong had shown him. He blurted out, “Shoot into the sky with a whoosh.”
Bai Wutong chuckled. Hai Dongli also looked embarrassed. He also wanted to shoot up into the sky.
However, he wanted to know how to soar into the sky.
Bai Wutong felt that since they already had a car, it should not be too surprising for the plane to appear.
She picked up her pen again and drew a simple schematic of the first plane in the 1990s on the paper. She said, “I think the aircraft that can fly in the sky is probably like this. There are two rudders in front, two rudders behind, and two propellers. The control cables are connected to the control handle.”
“When air of equal mass passes through the upper and lower surfaces of the wings at the same time, it forms a different flow rate above and below the wings. When air passes through the upper surface of the wings, the flow rate is large and the pressure is small. When it passes through the lower surface, the flow rate is small and the pressure is strong. Therefore, at this time, the plane will have an upward force, which allows the plane to leave the ground and fly in the air.”
Bai Wutong explained in detail, as if she had personally participated in the design of the aircraft.
Or perhaps this was already a mature design.
Hai Dongli looked at Bai Wutong with admiration.
He firmly believed that Bai Wutong had the ability to design such an aircraft.
If not for the fact that she was going to be in charge of the entire Carefree Kingdom, she could completely beat the entire research lab with her outstanding ability.
No, she was the one who created the entire research lab. She was also the one who organized all the mathematical, physics, and chemistry knowledge.
Hai Dongli wrote his promise on the paper. “The first human aircraft will definitely not disappoint the Great Empress.”
Bai Wutong affirmed them. That day, they led their dozen or so assistants into the laboratory.
Auntie Yang had not seen her second son for an entire month. She looked for her eldest son every day to ask. Zhao Sheng was so busy that his feet flew up. He did not have time to ask about his second brother at all.
Of her three sons, two were research maniacs, and one had gone out to build a asphalt road. He was inspecting the road every day in the wind and rain.
Even Village Chief Zhao studied life grafting, insect repellent, medicine, and genetic research every day for the sake of the crops in the fields.
Auntie Yang couldn’t help but sigh. “They’re indeed biological father and son.”
Zhao Yuan’s research were carried out day and night. From time to time, Chu Tianbao would come to check on the progress and give some suggestions. After the first petroleum tricycle, the four-wheeled car was finally completed.
Apart from the difference in speed and performance from modern cars, basically, all the basic functions had reached a reasonable standard.
Chu Tianbao personally tried the car. Everyone was extremely excited.
Everyone in the research room ran over to watch.
If they could succeed, it meant that their Carefree City would enter a new generation.
Boom! Boom!
Chu Tianbao started the engine. The noise was a little loud, but not too loud.
The moment he gripped the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, Chu Tianbao was also excited.
“Whoosh—”
The petroleum four-wheeled car rushed out. In an instant, the entire place was filled with deafening cheers.
He had succeeded. He was driving a car.
Chu Tianbao drove two rounds in a row. It was faster than a horse.
He tried reversing again and turned the steering wheel. Good. It wasn’t silky like in the movies, but its reaction wasn’t slow.
He tried the brakes again and again. It wasn’t bad. Since the highest speed the car could go was no more than 20 kilometers per hour, this standard of braking was considered timely.
The moment Chu Tianbao stopped the car, the researchers, who seemed to be judged for their performance, heard an unforgettable sentence.
“Congratulations on making history..”
