Chapter 200 You will win only if you can fly! (Please subscribe, please vote)

In the north of Beijing, in Yanqing County, which is surrounded by mountains, there is a newly completed airport at the foot of a hill called Jiulong Mountain. Although the invention of the airplane has not been finally confirmed, the airport has already been developed.

The "invention" was made.

This Yanqing Jiulongshan Airport was originally an airship landing site under the jurisdiction of the Naval Aviation Force, and the facilities were quite complete. However, starting a few months ago, a large number of engineers came in in a mighty manner, and they also transported a lot of goods.

Construction machinery was used to level the ground, lay reinforced concrete runways, build towers, and build hangars. After working for many days, a military airport of quite high standards was finally built.

The runway alone is 1,800 meters long and 30 meters wide, which is enough to take off and land a Boeing passenger plane!

Along the runway, a long row of small hangars was built. The reason why it is called "small" is not that the hangar is really small, but that it is compared with several large airship hangars on the other side of the runway - this airship

But it's a money-burning thing. The construction cost of a large airship alone is hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, and it also needs to be equipped with a particularly huge airship hangar. You must be particularly careful about the air station and the vast landing field. Moreover, the airship

Just one flight requires a lot of time for upkeep and maintenance, and there are also a lot of ground staff.

Just such a thing, now it has been turned into a popular weapon sought after by Zhuge Weidao, a deceitful guy. The world's recognized number one airship company, Feilong Industry, has received orders from Feilong Industry.

But while others were busy building airships, Zhuge Weidao turned around and went to invent airplanes with Zhuge Weitian, the founder of Feilong Company. And you can tell by looking at this airport that they are going to do something big.

.

At this moment, at the end of the long runway at Jiulongshan Airport that can take off and land Boeing passenger planes, a group of military advisors from the Zhuge family, as well as senior officials from the Navy Ministry and Naval Aviation, all gathered together to surround Zhuge Weiyi and Zhuge Weiyong.

The two figures from the Admiralty carefully looked at a machine made of canvas, balsa wood, two 20-horsepower in-line four-cylinder gasoline engines, two wooden propellers, and other miscellaneous things. It looked very strange.

aircraft.

This aircraft has two large wings, one upper and one lower. There are two elevators in front of the wings and two rudders in the back. It has no fuselage, and the "cockpit" is placed between the two wings - I don't know if it counts.

Wing-body fusion? A 20-horsepower engine is installed on both sides of the cockpit, and two propellers are connected in front of the engine. The engine and propellers, as well as the wings, elevators, and rudders are all connected to control cables. All control cables are finally

All are connected to the control handle in the cockpit.

Several technicians were sweating profusely and making final preparations before the flight. Zhuge Weitian had already changed into a flight suit, and Zhuge Weidao, who was wearing a white military uniform, stood beside the plane talking.

"Daozi, don't think this aircraft is too crude. In order to build it, our Feilong Industrial aircraft team has been extremely busy in the past few months. It has been blown up no less than 300 times in the wind tunnel alone! We have also built 20

There are many gliders, and fortunately we at Feilong Industry have already had experience in manufacturing gliders, otherwise it would not have been so fast."

At this time, a technician from Feitian Industry shouted loudly to Zhuge Weitian: "Mr. Feilong, Aircraft No. 1 has been inspected and is ready to take off!"

Zhuge Weitian smiled and nodded to Zhuge Weidao, "Daozi, I'm going to fly this time. You just have to watch it. I'll let you fly next time!"

Replace me?

Zhuge Weidao glanced at the airplane that seemed to be produced by a furniture factory, and murmured in his heart. Is it okay? Will it hurt if it falls?

Not to mention, this seemingly simple plane was really okay. After Zhuge Weitian got on it, he pulled the joystick and stepped on the accelerator, and the two engines on the plane started whirring. Then,

The engine brought up the propeller again. Pulled by the violently rotating propeller, the small aircraft made of canvas and balsa wood effortlessly began to glide on the 1,800-meter-long runway.

The plane taxied faster and faster, and after less than 150 meters, the two rubber wheels had already left the ground and flew higher and higher. After a while, it was dozens of meters high in the sky and began to soar in the sky.

Got it

"Success!"

"Fly, fly"

"Get up! Fly!"

When everyone watching saw this scene, they all cheered. Some young Feilong Industrial engineers even cheered and ran wildly on the airport runway, as if they wanted to follow the small plane into the sky.

However, Zhuge Weidao's heart is still hanging on whether he can fly or not, and how to land safely!

As soon as he thought of this, the small aircraft made of canvas and balsa wood had already completed the test project of circling the airport for a week and began to lower its altitude. It was only a few dozen meters in height, and it had already dropped in the blink of an eye. All he saw was this

The small plane first glided to one end of the runway, then pointed its nose towards the runway, and then turned off the engine. The plane flew lower and lower, and flew slower and slower. Finally, two rubber tires were installed on the front landing gear of the plane.

With a slight impact, it hit the concrete runway and slid for tens of meters before the plane came to an abrupt stop.

"Okay! It's really successful!" Zhuge Weidao also cheered in his heart!

Although this plane is extremely crude, it shouldn't fly very far. But this is just the beginning! All the planes flying in the sky in this timeline must recognize this small wooden plane in front of them as their ancestor.

Moreover, if the direction is clear, sufficient resources can be invested in research and development, and there is a golden finger to point out the direction, the research and development of aircraft will definitely be much faster than in history. In less than 10 years, aircraft similar to Camel will be developed

A biplane fighter with an Albatross aircraft should be able to dominate the sky, right?

With such an aircraft, Ming Dynasty will definitely win!

Zhuge Weidao can be said to have breathed a sigh of relief now. The Ming Dynasty is heading towards war step by step. Although the war is inevitable, Zhuge Weidao has also exerted his efforts to promote it!

Even though he is still just a colonel, he is the core figure of the Zhuge family, a "little man" with good hands and eyes, and he was previously placed in key positions in the Naval Intelligence Agency and military diplomats. He is the kind of person who can make a difference in history.

Someone who pushes the entire country forward at an important moment or pushes it towards disaster!

If the Ming Dynasty wins the next war, then he will be the hero in creating history. But if he loses, fortunately, it is impossible to lose now.

Ming Dynasty "can fly", and if it can fly, it will win!

"George, why are you so happy? Is it because your brother Charlie is back? His ass."

In the British Admiralty Building, First Sea Lord Earl Nelson was a little surprised when he saw George Elliot in his office, because he had never seen George Elliot smiling so happily. Then he thought of

Charlie Elliot - Since the Battle of Kii Waterway was just a misunderstanding, then the Ming Dynasty would of course have to pay compensation to the British before releasing the prisoners. Therefore, after being imprisoned for a period of time, Charlie Elliot, who had a big butt, had

He was free. However, the injury on his butt was still not healed and he was walking with a limp. I don't know if it can be cured?

"No, it's not because of Charlie, it's because of this!" George Elliot said as he handed Earl Nelson a stack of photos.

Earl Nelson took a look at the photo and saw that it was an aircraft with bird-like wings. This aircraft should be a glider because it has no engine and propeller. In addition to the main wing, it also has a somewhat complicated shape of the tail and

A small boat-shaped cockpit is hung under the wing.

"What is this?" asked Lord Nelson.

"This is an aircraft invented by the famous Sir George Kelly." George Elu said, "I think it will be the key to our victory over the Ming Dynasty!"
