Born In England

(Thanks to book friend 20190331194800923 and the bankrupt mining boss for the 100 coins reward!)

Everyone soon came to the warehouse.

Last night, a pre-prepared engine was also brought over in advance.

"These are all the parts. These are the installation drawings. I'll show you how to install them!" Li Lin handed a large stack of installation drawings to Ke Lin and the others.

"Boss, so the engine we developed is used to drive this 'aircraft'?" Derek asked in surprise.

Originally, my boss wanted to build a car or something!

"Yes, I've worked hard for you this time. After the work is completed, each person will be rewarded with 500 pounds!" Li Lin said generously.

"Boss, we also receive a lot of salary every month, so let's not use it." Colin postponed.

They are now Li Lin's employees, with a monthly salary of 300 pounds, which is a very high salary!

"It's okay, I can still afford this reward! You know, you are creating a miracle!" Li Lin said with a smile.

"Boss, don't say that. In fact, we are only manufacturing according to the design drawings. I think the person who designed the 'aircraft' is a genius, and he will definitely be famous in the future!" Colin said respectfully.

"Boss, who designed this plane?" The others asked curiously.

"This is a secret, you will know in the future, you can start installing, if you encounter any problems, you can discuss and discuss, or you can talk to me." Li Lin said.

"Yes, boss." When they saw Li Lin, they didn't want to say anything, and they didn't dare to ask more questions.

In fact, Li Lin didn't think it was a big problem for them to assemble the plane.

First of all, this camel fighter was originally a biplane during World War I, without any advanced equipment. There is a fuel gauge, speedometer, altitude gauge and more.

He didn't even customize the weapon system now, so it must be much less difficult to install.

But he doesn't know if it can fly and drive well after it is installed!

Airplanes these days basically rely on hands to drive, roar to communicate, and look to navigate.

"Maybe the simpler it is, the easier it is to drive." Li Lin felt a faint expectation in his heart.

First of all, the engine of this camel aircraft is still very powerful, and this engine can increase the power of 130 horsepower.

The more power, the easier it is to take off!

In fact, if someone knew that Li Lin was using a 130-horsepower CLerget 9-cylinder rotary engine to drive a centrifuge, they would call him a waste of money!

Of course, 130 horsepower is a few hundred horsepower at every turn in a fighter jet during World War II, and it is weak in front of thousands of horsepower.

But during World War I, it was very top-notch!

What's more, it's now 1891!

Definitely an epoch-making engine.

Since there are sound parts, there are still two sets of parts. The main reason is that Li Lin is afraid that some parts will be broken when they are installed, so he ordered two sets of parts at that time.

Under the installation of seven or eight mechanics, after a week, the general installation was finally completed.

Inside the workshop.

Li Lin looked at this Camel fighter plane. Although it does not have two machine guns, it still looks pretty good.

"It's finally installed!"

Li Lin looked at the cockpit. In addition to a fuel gauge, there is also a speedometer and a gauge showing the altitude, which is relatively 'rudimentary'.

In addition to some start buttons and so on, there are three main operating devices, the throttle stick, the steering stick and the pedals.

The throttle lever controls the engine thrust of the aircraft. Push it forward, and the aircraft will accelerate when the power is increased; pull it backward, and the aircraft will slow down when the power is reduced.

The control stick is the steering wheel of the plane in the air. Push it forward, and the plane will dive; pull it back, and the plane will lift up; press it to the left, and the plane will roll to the left; The pedals are the steering wheel of the aircraft on the ground. If you push your left foot forward, the aircraft will turn left; if you push your right foot forward, the aircraft will turn right. On the ground, the pedals also have a function. When both feet are stepped on at the same time, the aircraft will brake.

After reading the flight manual, Li Lin felt that the difficulty was not too great!

Of course, in fact, it is not difficult to fly this kind of aircraft during World War I. It is actually similar to driving a car with automatic transmission.

But the most difficult part of it is to roll, dive, or climb in the air, which is the technical work.

After all, at this time you need to consider the wind direction, wind speed and so on.

In addition, the most difficult thing to fly a plane is the problem of landing!

When landing the plane, you need to slow down. You need to find the balance point of your plane. If the nose of the plane drops too low, it will directly become a matchbox. If the nose of the plane is pulled too high, it will not be able to land successfully.

Not too fast, not too slow!

"Actually, during the test flight of this plane, it was not very difficult to take off, and I didn't do any difficult maneuvers such as rollovers, just a test flight, so I only need to master the technique of landing the plane, and then I can try the test flight!" Li Lin thought Analyze it.

"Boss, can this iron bump fly?" Li Biao knocked on the fuselage of the plane and asked curiously.

"You'll know if you can fly or not after trying it?" Li Lin curled his lips.

The first test flight of the aircraft is quite dangerous, and no one knows if there will be any problems after flying into the sky!

"Boss, what kind of flight test do you plan to do? After all, if it goes to the sky...it will be dangerous!" Colin also worried.

All of them have never heard that humans can fly!

Even flying a kite will fall!

Whoever tries it is almost risking his life to try it!

"Well, of course I know this. We need to choose a very good test flight location, and we need a very sunny and windless weather!" Li Lin said.

"Tomorrow we will go to pick a place and search for it on the coast. After our test flight, we will fly directly towards the sea. If any accident occurs in the air battle, the test pilot can still jump into the sea. There is still a certain chance of survival. If it is in the The high-altitude test flight on land, except for the problem, just wait until it lands in a box." Li Lin thought for a while.

And he plans to test the flight himself!

If the plane crashed on the sea, he would definitely have a chance of surviving by jumping into the sea. If it were someone else, the chances are probably not high.

After all, he practiced Qi on the fourth level!

If the plane crashed at high altitude on land, it is estimated that if you are not dead at the ninth level of Qi training, you will be seriously injured!

"The boss has a good idea. If you fly to the sea, your chances of survival will be higher." Colin nodded.

The next day, Li Lin and more than 20 people rode horses and began to search along the coast of Liverpool.

It took a total of three days to find a more suitable location.

It is a small cliff with a drop of about 50 meters from the sea surface, and the edge of the cliff is about 10 meters away from the sea! There is almost no beach below, just a reef with a width of about ten meters. Even if the plane rushes directly down, it can still crash into the sea!

The main reason is that this place is very open, and there is grass!

In this way, it can be built into a huge test flight airport!
