everyone has dream!
At least everyone has the right to dream.

For Dongying laborers like Zuo Teng, they came to the colony in poverty, where they not only got a job, but also got a family, even if it was just to combine with the local aborigines, it was a great deal for them comforted.

After all, no matter what, they finally had a wife and a child.

After having a child, they have new expectations, looking forward to their daughter becoming the owner's concubine in the future, at least a maid in the house, serving the owner's daily life, and at the same time giving birth to children for the owner, changing their fate from then on.

The realization of this kind of dream is not difficult, but it takes time, but for many people, this is their dream, their hope.

At least for Wesley, that's his hope too.He used to be a captain of the Argentine army, and now he has completely integrated into this ancient continent. As a Catholic, he has three lovers, and his lovers bore him sixteen children, the eldest daughter is already five years old.

"Xiaohui should leave school soon!"

As usual, while supervising the work of the laborers on the plantation, Wesley occasionally cast his eyes on the distant path.

Xiaohui has always been his pride. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very smart. There is not much blood from her mother in her appearance. She has fair skin, black hair, and a smart brain. What does this mean?

As long as she has the opportunity to go to middle school, she can find a smart person in the middle school who is willing to marry her, and then her fate will change over and over again.

Not the housekeeper, but the hostess!
Every time Wesley thinks of this, Wesley's heart is full of anticipation. It is the expectation for the future. People always have hope. Once upon a time, he hoped to return to Buenos Aires and his wife Emilia. and daughter's side, but now?His hope is very simple, a better life in this land, he and his family...

Many times people's dreams are always very simple.

The colony has always been a land full of dreams, even some fantasy.An ordinary Chinese person here can become a rich man and become a plantation owner. It is also here that many people can realize their dreams and live a life they have never imagined.

……

Dreams and ideals are different. Ordinary people have their own dreams, but what about ideals?Sometimes it only belongs to a few people, just like for Li Lin, his ideal is very simple, which is to build an airplane.

Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the dignified expression on his face began to change, and the corners of his lips were raised from time to time.

The slowly raised corners of her lips turned into a smile.

"Ding San, look, it has been running for half an hour!"

Pointing to the running engine, Li Lin said proudly.

"I said, aluminum can definitely make an engine!"

As an engineer, Li Lin has been trying to build a "flying machine" for the past few years. They have been researching and building a glider. important.

The difference between a flying machine and a glider is that it needs an engine, but the engine has a small horsepower and a high weight, which makes the plane too heavy to take off. Although they redesigned the plane's engine, they also face the problem of the engine being too heavy.

It was at this time that Li Lin set his sights on aluminum. Although the price of aluminum was extremely expensive, with His Majesty's funding, they obtained a large amount of aluminum for experimentation. However, at the beginning, aluminum was used to make engines The process was not smooth, because the strength of aluminum was not enough, and they encountered many problems in application, so they tried to increase the strength of aluminum. The way they tried was very simple, similar to alloy steel, by adding other metals to obtain aluminum alloy, Thereby increasing its hardness and strength, and finally, they obtained a new aluminum alloy by adding about 4% copper and small amounts of magnesium and manganese.It has increased hardness and strength.

Using this aluminum alloy to make the crank, and using aluminum castings for the cylinder top cover and cylinder barrel cooling fins, and using steel sleeves for the wear surface of the cylinder barrel, the weight was successfully reduced while maintaining the same 50 horsepower half.

However, the biggest problem with this three-cylinder engine is its cost-more than 10 kilograms of aluminum are used, and the cost of raw materials alone exceeds [-] yuan, but the most important thing is...he is very light!

It is so light that it can be installed on the plane, and finally let the plane fly into the sky on its own power!

"Get the propeller on!"

Soon, the wooden propeller was installed on the plane. After turning the propeller to start the engine, a strong wind blows from the test stand. In the past few years, in order to make the plane fly into the sky, they have been constantly researching and improving While improving the aircraft and engine, the propeller is also continuously improved to increase efficiency and thrust.

Feeling the strong wind, Feng Kai said with a smile.

"This engine should be able to be installed on "Aviator One", Yu Peng, we have been experimenting for so long, otherwise let's check it and try it."

Listening to Feng Kai's suggestion, Li Lin thought for a while, and then said.

"Then try it!"

"Aviator No. [-]" is an aircraft designed by them after modifying and adjusting the center of gravity structure on the basis of the six-year-old glider. The biggest difference from the glider is that it has an engine compartment, but it has never taken off successfully in the past. Because there is no suitable engine.

Now, with the successful test of this aluminum engine, they finally have the opportunity to install the engine on the plane.

Different from ordinary glider, it has a wooden frame inside the nose, and bolts are embedded in those frames, and the engine is tightly connected with the aircraft through the bolts to form a whole.

It is very easy to install this engine, which weighs only tens of kilograms, but it only took a while, and the engine was installed. After the propeller was installed, Li Lin, Feng Kai, their assistants and colleagues used full Looking expectantly at the plane in the sky.

"Can it really fly?"

Everyone is asking this question in their hearts. In the past few years, they have failed too many times. Now facing this "airplane made of gold", they feel a little nervous, but after the tension More than that, it's more about looking forward to.

Whether their ideals can be realized depends on the next experiment. For this day, they have waited too much.
