Chapter 333 Bold Idea(1/2)
When Chen Zhe and his friends were rescued by Morning Star, they did not waste some important resources on the ship, such as sails. Such resources that cannot be produced by themselves in the short term can not be thrown into the sea.
When Chen Zhe left the sailing boat, he pulled the sail off and carried it with him. This sturdy and spacious canvas can be used to wrap other props.
Now in this situation, this canvas actually gave Chen Zhe a good idea.
He immediately thought of how to cross the deep canyon in front of him.
The terrain on the west side where Chen Zhe and his team are currently located is higher, while the terrain on the east side they want to reach is lower. Now they want to cross the canyon from the west side to the east side, which is actually from the higher side to the lower side.
It is impossible to jump over a wide canyon, and it is impossible to climb up to the bottom of the canyon, but you cannot jump or pass through. Chen Zhe can also choose to fly over.
Make a glider, take advantage of the height difference of the terrain and fly directly from the higher west side of the island to the east side, so that you can cross the canyon?
As long as you can drive the glider and fly directly through the canyon, Chen Zhe can avoid the problem of going around. Not only does he not have to go around the wrong way, but he can also reach his camp faster.
After crossing this canyon, Chen Zhe can walk for up to two or three hours to return to his original camp. After he returns to the camp, he drives his own wooden car to pick up the girls. Wouldn't everything be fine?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhe couldn't help but smile, and he immediately began to plan his ideas and create a pair of gliders.
However, Chen Zhe didn't know much about gliding wings. He didn't know how to make gliding wings, nor did he know the structure of the gliding wings.
But this is not a problem for Chen Zhe. He can start with the design from the drawings.
I found a relatively flat and smooth stone slab nearby. Chen Zhe spread the stone slab flat on the ground, then picked up a sharp animal bone and wrote randomly on the stone slab, and drew a design drawing of a glider according to his imagination.
After finishing the drawing, he held it in his hand and Chen Zhe looked carefully.
The system will immediately pop up:
【Item detected: A completely wrong glider design drawing.】
"puff……"
Chen Zhe couldn't help laughing and immediately upgraded.
With the consumption of popularity, items have been upgraded and optimized.
[A completely wrong design drawing]—— [A simple structure design drawing].
Chen Zhe was still not satisfied and continued to upgrade and optimize.
[A design drawing for a simple structure]—— [A design drawing for a very technical glider].
“Well…it’s very technical…”
Chen Zhe was very satisfied with the comments about the glider. He finally nodded and picked up the stone slab, turned around and returned to the camp, and Chen Zhe began to get busy.
The girls who had just finished eating durian were sitting under the tree to rest. The leisurely afternoon was very suitable for lying on the ground and sleeping for a while. Seeing Chen Zhe suddenly getting busy, the girls were curious.
"Chen Zhe, what are you busy with?" Leatilla couldn't help asking.
"Yes, Chen Zhe, you are so energetic. Don't you need a rest for a while?" Xiao Qiao also asked.
Meixi stared at the stone slab in Chen Zhe's hand and asked incisively: "Chen Zhe, what are you designing? What are you going to do?"
Chen Zhe smiled mysteriously and responded: "Of course it is to make a tool that will allow us to cross the canyon."
"What? Cross the canyon?" Everyone was shocked and suspicious after hearing this.
Even Yan'er, who has always believed in Chen Zhe, asked in confusion: "Brother Chen, didn't you say we couldn't cross this canyon? Is there a way to cross now?"
"Yes." Chen Zhe smiled, "I didn't think of a good idea before, so I thought I couldn't cross the canyon, but then I thought of it."
"Let me see!"
When Xiao Qiao heard that there was a way to pass through the canyon, she jumped up and looked up next to Chen Zhe, looking down at Chen Zhe's stone slab. She saw the structural diagram of the glider drawn on it.
"I understand!" Xiao Qiao suddenly realized and nodded, "It's a glider! Chen Zhe, you plan to make a glider, fly directly from the west to the east, and cross the canyon, right?"
"What? Glider?" Yan'er was a little shocked.
Da Qiao nodded slightly and said, "The terrain of the island is high in the west and low in the east. The terrain on the west side is indeed much taller than the east side... Using gliders to cross the canyon is indeed a very imaginative way."
"Is it safe just gliding...?" Meixi asked worriedly, "After all, will there be any danger in flying in the sky?"
"Yes, Chen Zhe..." Liatilla was also worried, "Can you guarantee that the glider will not fail?"
"Well..." Chen Zhe said calmly, "I really can't guarantee this. It's hard to keep the possibility of failure of things designed by hand. But compared to taking a long distance to the beach and returning to the east, and then traveling a long distance to the mountain and returning to the camp, directly crossing the canyon is the most efficient and labor-saving method."
"Although that's the case, it's too dangerous..." Leatilla was still a little scared, "If you encounter some failure... Chen Zhe, you can't joke about your life safety."
"I understand." Chen Zhe knew that Leatilla was caring for herself, and chuckled softly and said, "Don't worry, I won't try it easily when I can't guarantee that I'm very safe. If I decide to fly across the canyon with my glider, I must be very confident."
"That's good..." Although Leatilla was still worried, she could only agree.
At this time, Xiao Qiao asked another question:
"But Chen Zhe, how many people can your glider accommodate? Is it possible that at most only two people can pass by?"
"Yes." Chen Zhe nodded, "The average glider can accommodate up to two people."
"That means you can only bring one person with you, what should I do if the rest of the people?" Xiao Qiao asked again.
This question does not need Chen Zhe to answer, so Da Qiao will answer it directly.
She knocked on her sister's little head and said, "You are stupid. When Chen Zhe returns to the camp, he will be able to pick us up. You forgot that there is still a car in our camp!"
"Oh... So that's how it is." Xiao Qiao finally realized it suddenly and nodded after realizing it.
Chen Zheze smiled and said, "That's right, this is my complete plan."
After telling everyone the whole plan, Chen Zhe began to design it step by step. Of course, the girls were not idle either, and began to cut down wood and polish materials with Chen Zhe.
There are a large number of rubber trees growing in this area. Although the wood of rubber trees is easy to deform, it is stronger and lighter than it is. It is most suitable for making flying gliders.
In one afternoon, the wood that Chen Zhe needed was basically cut out, and the rest of the work was polishing and assembly. However, the light was dim at night and was not suitable for hand-made production. The work of making gliders could only be stranded and waited for the sun to rise tomorrow before returning to work.
Everyone did it like this, and when the next morning, a decent glider was made.
This pair of gliders was completely handmade based on Chen Zhe's design drawings. The skeleton was spliced with rubber wood and bamboo, and the skeleton was covered with the canvas that had been used as sails.
Leatilla couldn't help but tease, "I didn't expect that the tent that fans rewarded me was really useful. It can be used as a house, a sailboat, and now it has to go to heaven. It's really a matter of sea, land and air."
Chen Zhe also agreed with a smile: "The canvas of this tent really serves a big purpose."
However, after the glider is finished, it cannot go directly to the sky. After all, the hand-made glider has many defects.
Chen Zhe used the item upgrade system to scan the system after the gliding wing was completed. The description given by the system was [a pair of not very strong gliding wings].
Since the system has given this assessment, Chen Zhe certainly dared not drive it into the sky. Who knows how unsolid this "not very strong" glider is, and whether it will fall apart in the air or something...
In order to ensure the quality of the glider, Chen Zhe must upgrade it, but the upgrade cannot be upgraded in front of everyone. He used the excuse of "try-sliding" and dragged the glider to the distant high ground.
It was noon, and the girls were collecting fresh water and preparing lunch. They were all busy. In addition, Chen Zhe left suddenly and didn't say hello at all, so he successfully avoided everyone and came to the distance alone with his glider.
Before everyone could react, Chen Zhe directly upgraded.
[A pair of unsolid gliders] - [A pair of gliders with moderate mass].
Continue to upgrade!
[A pair of gliders with moderate mass]——[A pair of trustworthy gliders].
After the two upgrades, the appearance of the glider wing did not change much, but the details were optimized, which made Chen Zhe feel relieved and dragged the glider wing to experiment on the nearby slope.
Find a suitable hillside, then run four or five steps against the wind, and then under the power of air lifting, the glider wings flap and fly.
Chen Zhe firmly grasped the handrail of the glider, placed his body on the glider support, and followed the glider to the air and glided for a distance in the not too high air.
Because it was a slope, Chen Zhe did not fly too high, but he roughly found the feeling of flying and could feel that the glider was more controlled than he thought.
"Is this the trustworthy glider?" Chen Zhe couldn't help but exclaim, "It turns out to be worthy of his reputation."
When the test flight was over, Chen Zhe dragged his heavy glider back to the camp.
When the girls saw Chen Zhe coming back, they couldn't wait to ask:
"How is it, Chen Zhe, is the quality okay?"
"Can this glider fly?"
"Nothing will happen, right?"
Chen Zhe smiled and nodded, saying proudly: "It's absolutely fine. The glider we created is very reliable and trustworthy... I think I can cross the canyon after lunch."
"Really?" Yan'er was a little happy, "In other words, you will be able to return to the camp today?"
"Yeah." Chen Zhe nodded and said, "Today I will go back to the camp and rest in the camp for a night. I will drive over to pick you up tomorrow morning and then go back together. You just need to stick here for one more night."
When everyone heard this news, they were all excited. When they thought of the warm oil lamps, delicious hams, and comfortable environment in the tree house, everyone showed a sincere smile on their faces.
"I must take a hot spring bath after I go back..." Xiao Qiao said in a longing mood.
"I want to go too, I want to go too, I haven't been there much." Leatilla also said.
...
After lunch, Chen Zhe came to the cliff next to the canyon and found a relatively high slope to prepare his wing plan.
Because the glider can carry two people at a time, in addition to Chen Zhe, he can also bring another girl over.
However, as soon as they saw this wide and deep canyon, the girls were a little relieved. After all, once there was something wrong with the glider, falling from here would be an endless consequence.
Even Xiao Qiao, who has always been brave, became timid this time and was afraid of gliding.
