Chapter 1553 Airship
On the morning of February 14th, 20th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao himself rushed to the Outlying Island Power Research Institute in a hurry, because the news came from the Outlying Island Power Research Institute that the sample of the internal combustion engine locomotive in charge of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng had been manufactured.
Qu Mao experienced more than a dozen round trips on the experimental rails in the Outlying Islands Institute of Power Research. Although the length of the experimental rails in the Outlying Islands Institute of Power Research is only more than 300 meters, the total mileage is about the same for more than ten times. Reached more than 4 kilometers.
On the diesel locomotive, Qu Mao felt that the starting time and braking time of the diesel locomotive were many times shorter than those of the steam locomotive. Although the length of the 300-meter rail track could not test the running speed, the starting and braking Qu Mao believes that the time saved will greatly improve the efficiency of traffic in long-distance traffic, so Qu Mao feels very excited.
According to this effect, it may be possible to go to the branch territories of the other four continents in a day and a night.
After seeing the internal combustion engine locomotive, Qu Mao originally wanted Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng to lead their R&D team to split into two. At the same time, he also asked about the R&D progress of the Liandao Nanli and Mu Degui teams.
Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng told Qu Mao: Although Nanli and Mu Degui haven't produced a steel chariot for more than ten years, they are researching wingsuit flight and airships, and the airships have even made samples and tested several times.
Qu Mao lost his composure in an instant, his mind was full of shadows of Air Force fighter jets, and Dang even wanted to go to Lian Dao to see for himself.
Although Qu Mao attached great importance to the project of the steel chariot, it was still a weapon of the army, and it still ran on the ground. Therefore, even though it had not been made for more than ten years, Qu Mao was only anxious, and did not urge or oppress Nanli and Mu Degui. .
But the airship is different. It left the ground and flew into the air. If it develops further, it is a fighter jet full of missiles. Even if it can’t reach the speed of a fighter jet, it can at least pass between continents at the speed of a civilian aircraft. , that is, a day or two.
Qu Maoyuan planned to leave Kong Ming aside, let Kong Ming be in charge of the mass production of internal combustion engine locomotives, and go to Liandao to see the airship by himself, but how could Kong Ming let go of such an opportunity, and immediately said that the production of internal combustion engine locomotives could be arranged, and the magic communication crystal could do it It's done, you don't need to stay in the outlying island power research institute all the time.
So Kong Ming followed Qu Mao and flew towards Liandao non-stop.
After getting off the steam train from the outlying island, Kong Ming took out the magic communication crystal on the steam train, contacted Xuande and Mengde successively, and asked Xuande and Mengde to arrange the staff to connect with the outlying island power research institute, The production capacity of the locomotive factory on the Internet will be released to produce internal combustion engine locomotives, and at the same time, it is planning to build a new internal combustion engine locomotive production plant.
Whether it is an airship or an internal combustion engine locomotive, it is extremely inspiring and exciting for Xuande and Mengde. Especially with the imminent battle of the branch territories of the other four continents, the importance of internal combustion engine locomotives is self-evident.
As early as in the military industrial chain planning meeting on November 5, 1999, Xuande and Mengde had heard that Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng were researching the internal combustion engine locomotive project at the Institute of Power Research on Outlying Islands. Made and tested, it can be predicted that the performance will improve exponentially.
The two naturally did not hesitate to compete for the production authority of internal combustion engine locomotives. In the magic communication crystal, they expressed to Kong Ming that they would use the entire production capacity of the Liandao Locomotive Factory to produce internal combustion engine locomotives. Military internal combustion engine train locomotive factory.
Kong Ming said that there is a great demand for internal combustion engine locomotives in Yidi territory. Not to mention two internal combustion engine locomotive factories, even if there are twenty internal combustion engine locomotive factories, the internal combustion engine locomotives produced can be sold out quickly.
So Kong Ming had reached an agreement with Xuande and Mengde before he got off the steam train and changed it to a shuttle boat, that is, the locomotive factory for military internal combustion engine trains will be built on Liandao, and the locomotive factory for civilian internal combustion engine trains will be built on Zhongdao.
The Military Logistics Department and the Ministry of Civil Industry will send people to the Outlying Island Power Research Institute to connect with the teams of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng on the production process.
Qu Mao and Kong Ming soon arrived at Liandao, and met Nanli and Mu Degui at Liandao Flight Research Institute.
Apparently, Nanli and Mu Degui had been notified by Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng's magic communication crystal, and they were waiting at the gate of the United Island Flight Research Institute early.
Qu Mao did not greet Nanli and Mu Degui, and directly asked them to take him to see the airship samples.
Nanli and Mu Degui didn't have much contact with Qu Mao, but they also knew Qu Mao's character, so they didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and directly took Qu Mao and Kong Ming into the flight research institute, into a huge laboratory.
Walking into the huge laboratory, Qu Mao was instantly shocked by a ship in front of him.
On the reinforced concrete support in the middle of the laboratory, a 10-meter-long, 4-meter-wide, and 6-meter-high warship stands quietly. The upper deck of the warship is covered with various pipes and metal brackets.
Nanli hurried to the side of Qu Mao, and introduced: "My lord, the appearance of the airship is modeled after a small warship. The material is mainly wood, and a few core parts are made of hollow metal tubes.
Above the deck, the pipes, heating furnace, and blower correspond to a total of 5 hot air balloons, one big, four small, but they are now in the laboratory, so we have put away all five hot air balloons.
Master, look carefully, there are two pairs of blowers at the bow, stern, and sides of the ship, which are mainly used to adjust the direction and control the speed of parallel movement in the air, but the current experimental results show that the effect is not obvious yet.
In the previous flight tests, the average flying height can reach about 200 meters, but the flying speed is very slow, and the speed of climbing the height is also very slow. "
Qu Mao asked: "Well, it was like this at the beginning. When you conducted flight experiments, did you ever consider the influence of natural wind and other factors? Could it be that this airship will not be blown away by the wind?"
Mu Degui said: "My lord, the previous two flight tests were carried out under a sunny and sunny background, and they were successfully recovered each time.
Of course, there will be a rope tied to the airship on the ground every time the test flight is carried out. If it can’t land on its own, we will pull it back. "
Qu Mao said: "Nanli, Mu Degui, please organize it well and conduct another test flight tomorrow. I will call some heroes to watch it together."
Nanli and Mu Degui hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord!"
