The chariot is said to be sophisticated, but in fact it is far from reaching the image in Yi Xiaotian's mind.
The various functions of the current chariot are actually alternatives that Yi Xiaotian is looking for for the real chariot.
For example, the driving method of the chariot is very crude--it's just like a bicycle...
Of course, the production of a transmission such as a chain is indeed quite a progress. As for the chain, this is thanks to Huang Yueying's unparalleled achievements in the field of mechanical crafts.
At that time, Yi Xiaotian just clicked on something like a clockwork, and Huang Yueying, who was extremely savvy, made a trial product that day.
The making of the chain didn't take much effort either.
In short, with the chain, the transmission is guaranteed.
The existence of gears has more meaning besides meshing——
Moreover, Yi Xiaotian knew that a real chariot could not be driven by just one transmission device, so he equipped every position inside the chariot with a set of pedal transmission devices.
In this way, with ten people exerting force at the same time, and coupled with the transmission device that saves energy, it is not surprising that the chariot can run at a speed comparable to that of a war horse.
As for the steering wheel, Yi Xiaotian still has some research on cars. However, due to limitations of current technology, the transmission of the steering wheel is not completely consistent with later generations of cars.
The purpose of making something like a steering shaft is to prevent the vibration of the tank from affecting the driver when it is driving. It is of great significance and it is naturally impossible not to design it.
Basically, these are the only secrets inside the tank. Yi Xiaotian later plans to further improve the functions of the tank, or call it a multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle - the name reveals Yi Xiaotian's ambitions are not only
Only for this moment.
——
After coming out of the chariot, Sun Quan felt the smooth ground, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
It can only be said that the progress brought about by technology will always be accompanied by some things that we are not used to.
Following Yi Xiaotian's guidance, everyone came to the front of the chariot again.
After seeing the front armor of the chariot, Sun Quan realized that this chariot was the one they had seen before that had its outer armor almost shattered by the collision of boulders——
Then this is strange... obviously they didn't feel anything weird inside.
Is it possible…
Lu Su raised the question first, which saved Sun Quan from having to worry about it anymore.
"Sir, wasn't this chariot severely damaged by the boulder before?"
"Why does it seem like there's nothing serious from the inside?"
Lu Su asked here, and Sun Quan had already arrived near the armor of the chariot... He looked at the armor that was obviously riddled with holes, and couldn't help but touch it——
"The reason is very simple - because the armor of the tank does not only have one layer."
Yi Xiaotian tilted his head and told Lu Su and Sun Quan with a smile why the chariot was not damaged.
"Ah...this..."
"Sure enough, there is more than just one layer of armor..."
On the other side, Sun Quan's voice came at the right time, which surprised Lu Su.
Lu Su quickly circled back to Sun Quan and looked at the armor in front of the chariot with him.
Where the two men were looking, the outer armor composed of wooden boards was now dented. However, after Sun Quan gently opened the surface fragments with his hands, the second layer of wooden armor of the chariot was revealed.
Yi Xiaotian and Huang Yueying came to the two of them and took advantage of Lu Su's surprise to explain:
"The plank is made of fine pear wood. I heard that in the southern barbarian land, there is a hard wood called ironwood. However, the output of that material is very small, and the journey is far away, so it is definitely not easy to obtain such a quantity to make a chariot.
of raw materials.”
"So we used pear wood instead. Also because it is pear wood, the outer armor of the chariot is light enough, which gives us room for internal modifications - the lighter the chariot, the fewer manpower is needed. The reason why you heard
The reason why the sound of the chariot is so loud when it is in motion is that the various devices inside the chariot itself make loud transmission noises, and it is not caused by the weight of the chariot itself."
"The chariot has three layers of armor. As you can see between each layer..."
Yi Xiaotian was not restrained and directly took off a piece from the fragmented outer armor of the chariot. He brought the fragmented sawdust in front of the two of them and showed them what it looked like on the back.
"Hey...this is..."
"Glue, something you use when attaching door curtains."
Yi Xiaotian calmly told a fact that shocked the two of them.
"Huh? This thing...can be used to build a chariot?"
This time Sun Quan and Lu Su both asked the same question... They couldn't connect the paste with the giant chariot...
Seeing their surprise, Yi Xiaotian smiled and explained:
"You two may have misunderstood something. The reason why the chariot can withstand the impact is of course due to the fit of the wooden panels. Of course, the method of fitting the panels together cannot be left to you, but the role of the paste is
But I can tell you—"
Afterwards, Yi Xiaotian quickly sent someone to bring a torch, and in front of the two of them, he directly placed the wood block covered with paste on the north side on the fire and burned it——
But something magical happened...
The board looked like it was about to catch fire on top of the flame, but as time passed, the flame failed to completely burn the board no matter what.
In the end, although the wooden board was smoked black, the wooden board finally resisted the burning of the torch.
Now, it was Sun Quan and Lu Su's turn to be dumbfounded again.
"This... turns out to be using paste to prevent fire?"
"No, although the method is a bit strange, the effect is excellent, and the paste is not difficult to make, and the cost is completely controllable - it can also act as a buffer between the wooden boards, increasing the adhesion between the wooden boards...
"
"And haven't you two noticed? This paste has no smell at all. The chariot was built a few days ago, and the paste still maintains its current viscosity and has not stink yet..."
"Well...it seems like this..."
Yi Xiaotian continued to explain, bringing more surprises to Lu Su and Sun Quan.
"The fact is that we added some other things to this river and lake to make it not only anti-corrosive, but also have increased viscosity, and to a certain extent, it can also be moisture-proof——"
Absolutely, when Yi Xiaotian said this, Sun Quan even had the feeling that no words could ever be worth the usefulness of the mud in front of him.
Of course, Sun Quan naturally knows how invincible the chariot is now...
It is fireproof and waterproof, has a hard appearance, and can still maintain a light weight. It is easy to operate, but its lethality is extraordinary.
Not to mention the cavalry, even the elite heavy cavalry can only watch the chariot domineering on the battlefield when it comes to the chariot, right?
"Oh, by the way, one more thing. As you have seen before, we have adjusted the design of the tank shell to ensure that even if the tank overturns, it can easily roll back to its original position-"
Yi Xiaotian won't explain too much on this point. As for the roly-poly, who made their chariot made of wood and top-heavy?
