Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 275 Dragon Bird
"Attention, the No. [-] car is moving forward and has reached the edge of the canyon. Try throwing something down."

Under Zhao Ye's command, everyone arrived at the designated location and arranged to return the bait.Then he used the same method again, hoping to lure this guy out.

A large hammer was thrown down again. The soldier who threw the hammer completed the task and quickly returned to the armored vehicle, and then the armored vehicle slowly retreated.

Soon, something was spotted on the radar, moving towards them quickly.When it reached the top, Zhao Ye gave the order and fired flares.

The flares fired from the armored vehicle were brighter than the previous ones.That silly bird became honest as soon as it was illuminated by the light.

The armored car in that direction, quickly opened the cover, and a fighter took aim and quickly pulled the trigger.

It went very smoothly, and that silly bird was immediately covered by the net.Flares were fired into the sky one by one, and the scene was kept bright.The soldiers got out of the car and dragged the silly bird into the iron cage with the tow rope, and the task was considered complete.

In order to make sure if there were any similar things below the canyon, Zhao Ye and the others did not leave immediately, but after a while, they threw something down again to try.

But this time nothing came up.

To be on the safe side, Zhao Ye ordered to try throwing a cannonball down.

Several soldiers stood on the edge of the canyon and fired a few rockets towards the bottom.

After a while, there was an explosion sound from the rocket, and then, Zhao Ye saw densely packed small dots on the radar screen.

Wow, so many!

The computer quickly counted the number of targets for Zhao Ye, and there were more than 100 of them.

It seems that it is not an easy task to pass through this canyon.

Seeing such a situation, you can only go back and make a long-term plan.

However, in order to have enough research samples, Zhao Ye asked the soldiers to catch a few more stupid birds and put them into cages when hundreds of stupid birds flew around together.

No matter how powerful these ancient creatures are, they are nothing more than animals.They were able to attack humans for the first time, but they were not prepared enough. No, as soon as the armored vehicles drove up, these idiots would have nothing to do.

After Zhao Ye came back, he left behind a silly bird.What he left behind was just a dead one, also for testing, this stupid bird was hit directly by a large-caliber bullet, and its head was knocked out.

What Zhao Ye is interested in is the skin of this silly bird, which is similar to bats. They have no feathers and are covered with scales like fish scales.This kind of scale is very fine and dense, just like a snake.But this kind of scales are very strong, at least ordinary 7.62 bullets cannot penetrate his scales.

Although this is surprising, it is not the only one. There are several kinds of animal scales that can prevent bullets in the world.What Zhao Ye is most interested in is the skin of this animal, which has enough resistance to stress.

For an animal that can survive both in a high-pressure environment and a low-pressure environment, its skin must have sufficient anti-stress properties.When the pressure is high, the bones and skin must have enough capacity to support their own body without being crushed.When the pressure is low, it depends on his skin, and it cannot be broken by the pressure difference.

After a series of tests, the performance of this bird's skin is getting better and better.First of all, he is very strong, and ordinary bullets cannot penetrate it.Then there are the airtight performance and thermal insulation performance, which are all very good.Not only that, it has good shielding properties for a lot of radiation.

This is very important.It is a very good material to use the skin of this bird as body armor.But making bulletproof vests is too wasteful. Zhao Ye thinks that using this kind of bird skin to make gloves for space suits is its most important use.

Ever since, when this report was submitted, the killing plan formulated by the military was banned.

The bird was named Longniao and received the same treatment as the giant panda.

The canyon is also planned to be sealed with iron nets, and then used as a breeding ground for dragon birds for research and breeding of this magical bird.

Although the bird cannot be killed, the canyon still has to be crossed.After detailed investigation, the narrowest part of the canyon is also more than 200 meters wide.This width has not exceeded the capabilities of the engineering troops.Building a bridge, although it takes a little work, is not impossible.

In this way, the expedition team passed the canyon with the mechanical equipment brought up, and continued to move forward. On the edge of the canyon, the follow-up troops established a camp. data.

Zhao Ye didn't pay too much attention to the things here. After all, it was still early to explore the mining area, and every step forward in such an unknown area meant danger.He didn't want to make the expedition team rush for success and take too many risks in order to hurry.

Now that Zhao Ye has returned to the capital, and now that the underground space has been confirmed, the metal hydrogen deposits that Zhao Ye talked about are largely nonsense.As a result, the idea of ​​the catapult will be gradually implemented on paper.After all, whether those previous models or designs, they are all prototypes.When it comes to engineering, there is still a lot of work to be done.

First of all, the first point is, where is this thing repaired?

The engineering design is to be combined with the topography of the location, without determining the location, this work is out of the question.

According to Zhao Ye's prototype design, the head of this thing should be raised high. No matter how optimized the raised part is, it must be several kilometers away. From this point of view, the position of the projectile must be against the mountain. It has to be a mountain of several thousand meters.

Otherwise, with the current construction technology and technology, it is completely impossible to build a building with a height of several kilometers.There are only a few regions in the country with mountains several thousand meters high.Considering various factors, several alternatives were quickly determined.

For such a building, not only construction issues were considered, but other issues also had to be considered comprehensively. After high-level discussions, the site selection for this building was finally placed in Sichuan Province.

The project was settled quickly, and the entire construction period is expected to exceed ten years.How many years can Zhao Ye live?He can wait there for such an old man.

But for this project, he has no better way. He can only optimize the overall design bit by bit on a small simulator, and then understand the research on the carrier for future launches.

Of course he has his own plan, and the entire space program cannot be carried out by relying on such a projectile alone.Moreover, this ejector can only eject some materials at present, and the real manned technology must rely on rockets.

After completing the related design of the catapult, Zhao Ye transferred his energy to the manned spaceflight project.
