Chapter 120: The Fall of the Silver Star

Zener Company is a leading company in the history of aviation of the Republic, it is one of the industries of the Aga Snow Dragon family, this family also has a heavy artillery production company, is an important sheltered person under the command of the Air Force, in exchange, the heir or second son of the Aga Snow Dragon family was sent to the Air Force to participate in the Dragon Knight Examination, and has been conscientiously serving the Air Force for half of his life, and its family owner Aga Snow Dragon Lei Biwu is also one of the 13 Dragon Knight Noble Holy Medal Sirs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Zener Company, which was under his command, was mainly known for the production of giant flying aircraft airships, and also became the production place of aeronautical masters and pilots, and the first pilot in the republic was born from the club affiliated with this company, and it officially became a pioneer industrial company in the aviation power epic, and was awarded the 'Arria Award', but the naval officials scoffed, "It is a medal that rewards the first, whatever it is, if you can prove that you are the first murderer in the world, you will also be awarded this medal." ”

Of course, the navy and the army have contradictions with this company, because this is very normal, there are contradictions between the navy and the army, of course, they will not allow a transcendent air force to exist, so they are very tacitly hostile to everything under the air force, and the air force company is of course also hostile, "In terms of resisting the Sky Dragon Knights, the navy and the army have shown fraternal cooperation, and also show the unity that a country's soldiers should have, of course, they are also the only one, and other times, they are more like enemies." In response to this, the Air Force made its own remarks, secretly mocking itself.

Regardless of a series of provocations by the Navy and the Army, the Air Force, with a kind of self-confidence or perhaps arrogance peculiar to the Goliath soldiers, is still full of confidence in what they have high hopes for, airships, what army's invincible iron army, what navy's invincible sea fortress, will be finished when it encounters an air attack, although our airship cannot attack for the time being, but its flight altitude, you together can't do it, it's hard to believe, this is the source of their confidence, airships can fly, fly high, and the army and navy can't fly, In their words, who can't go on land, heh, at sea, you can go to the Mediterranean Sea by just finding a shipping company, Boyue Bend plays, you want to fly, you have a mage tower and us, there is no other home.

Airship is a behemoth that relies on special gas to fly, and its birth is because the first flight machine was stopped by mage interest groups, and the air force and some people are unwilling, so they find another way to invent a thing by chance, after decades of secret development, and finally appeared at the annual royal science and technology exhibition, amazing shape, perfect streamlined structure, the most important two things are to fly, large size.

The design of the airship has existed for a long time, but on the list of aircraft of that year, the airship was not favored, because it was bulky and unsuitable for combat, far less than a smaller aircraft better used for combat, the Air Force did not develop, and later, the small aircraft supported by the Air Force were destroyed by the mages, and the secret base was also destroyed, they were furious, but swallowed their anger, and finally found the son of the designer of the year to study the airship.

Don't let the small one, make a big one, anyway, it will not be used in the military, and it will not actually threaten the status of your mage, after all, the source of the mage's status is military deterrence, and now it will always work, after a series of hard struggles and various compromises, as well as secret work, it has finally turned from a drawing to a reality.

B En micro experimental model, E En test medium model, V Wild Wolf main model to the final S model mass production.

Its birth became a symbol, it was regarded as a victory, a blow to the mages, but the airships before the Zina company were unreliable, and the Zener company's 'Abiwei' airship really created its era, but it was not widely spread, but the entertainment tool of the upper class of the country.

And the Silver Star is the king of it, not only the pride of Zena, but also the symbol of the industrial prosperity of the Republic, the Goliath fortress of the Never Fall in the sky, the Silver Star Titan, the great giant of the sky.

Among the thirty-five airships, the cost of the Silver Star accounts for more than 80 percent, and it is also the largest, the most luxurious, the most beautiful in appearance, the most streamlined in design, and the only one that has internal armor installed, which is unimaginable on other airships, because although it is light armor, it also requires a lot of body shape to support the weight of the armor, not to mention that the Silver Star airship is not only equipped with unique armor, but also a comfortable and luxurious interior, not counting its cost, Just the carpet on it is more expensive than some of the first small airships, and the other airships are used by commoners, then he is a nobleman.

The designer and creator is the famous Dr. Hugo Panevi Ankintorik, this is a master figure in the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Aeronautics, his father was one of the three designers of flying machines, for his father's dream, is his lifelong goal, one of the most hated people by mages, the key protection object of the Air Force.

It relies on Yaans hydrogen as the power, and the previous airship used an unreliable and poisonous gas, Pagus ammonia, it is two hundred and forty-six meters long, can carry seventy-two passengers, is the most luxurious, the comfort can be comparable to the royal hotel, and it is in the air, the speed is also very fast, at least several times faster than the navy's ships, and the navy has always been proud of their ships faster than the army's horses, and its appearance finally made the air force raise its eyebrows.

In the year 202 of the Republican calendar, the Silver Star, which was built by the Zener Company for five years and tested for one year, officially began to serve the Sky Dragon Knights, and its first voyage crossed the Eurasian continent, and then returned safely, most of the passengers were national grassroots officials, and there were also a few important members, which were highly evaluated, comfortable, safe, and reliable, and were the honor of the Republic.

The Dragon Knights hoped to increase their influence with this, and the Goliath word for airship politics was born.

Now, at the beginning of the 205th year of the Republic, the airship began its sixty-fourth voyage, waiting at the customs office of the port of Sura for high-ranking state dignitaries and chaebol magnates with a net worth of more than 100 million, a carefully planned by the Dragon Knights, vowing to show the might of the air force.

The ticket price of the airship has long risen from the original 2,000 song coins to the current 300,000 gold luan (1,000 song coins all the way), which is also a lot of income for the air force, and raising dragons is a very expensive thing, so the entire air force has 30,000 people, and the dragon is only 500.

The airship can't be used in the military yet, but it's loved by the big guys, and it's not bad to use it to make money.

The air force is wishful thinking, and at the same time cautious but half a point is missing, they clearly know that the army, navy and mages are all potential enemies, and they are likely to do bad things, and the airship is too fragile for any of them, even an ordinary person can easily destroy it, a little spark can make the airship powered by Yaans hydrogen burn in an instant, and the storm and the defects of the airship itself can also lead to its destruction, all the air forces have taken a more careful attitude than the army intelligence, For every passenger, they are not afraid of offending people, but they also have to check, but after all, they dare not be too presumptuous with the national bigwigs, so they have created a scanner that can scan any combustible substances and dangerous substances.

On the other hand, in order to curry favor with the country's bigwigs and magnates, they specially set up a smoking room inside the airship despite the opposition of the designer himself, so that the smokers can smoke to satisfy their hunger.

Of course, in order to ensure absolute safety, after all, a trace of fireworks can destroy the airship, the seal is extremely strict, it is said that the responsible personnel of the Air Force used a microscope to examine, and personally disregarded their lives for the experiment, and the Air Force was slightly worried at the time, of course, not the safety of the experimenter, but their Silver Star, it doesn't matter if he dies, the airship is destroyed, the loss will be great, and the funds invested by the Air Force for this airship have not been fully earned.

And the experimenter himself is also a fanatic, of course he is not afraid of death, but in a responsible attitude, and even for the heat of Mars emitted in the soot will detonate the airship has done a detailed test, the conclusion is that no, the heat of the soot does not exceed 250 Lida degrees, and the ignition point of Yaans hydrogen is 700 Lida degrees, smoking as long as it is controlled, it is fine, this point, he is careful, because for the degree of sealing, he is absolutely assured.

It was the tightest seal, and the Air Force was best at sealing the isolation chamber, which was once used for poison gas massacres.

But he was very taboo about the canvas bag loaded with Yaans hydrogen inside the airship, and any slight crack would produce an explosion, and finally he came up with a note, sealing these internal canvases with steel, and these canvases have a full 31,400 square meters, if the steel used is an ordinary material, it is only the weight of the steel plate will greatly reduce the speed of the airship, which is not allowed, and the Air Force has hemorrhaged for this, and has spent several years of military spending to purchase a lot of light carbide steel.

As for the possibility that the propeller will be destroyed by thunder in stormy weather, he also did a test, and the result is very dangerous, the propeller and canvas of the airship are actually faulty, the propeller will be shattered by lightning, and the canvas will absorb electricity, and then the electricity will enter the metal warehouse inside, and that is the steel plate structure room where the gas is stored, it is too dangerous, and the lightning will ignite everything.

The middle compartment of the canvas was added to the magic plastic isolation net that was secretly purchased by the apprentice who defected from the mage tower with a high-level, and the air force not only completely offended the mage, but also paid for the goods, and at present, the whole army has been firmly eaten to death by several big chaebols, almost semi-controlled, of course, it is the military after all, and it will not be completely controlled, but it is also bloody.

There are also propellers, which are difficult to solve, and genius designers have no solution.

No, the safety index is not enough, and we will never dare to let the national bigwigs ride, the air force is heartbroken, and we simply don't want any propellers, since that thing is unreliable, we will develop it ourselves, only if we have the heart of not being afraid of death, we can do anything.

It is true that a lot of people died in the experiment, but they finally came up with a set of plans, the particle jet well taken out by the Sky Dragoon Airship Safety Advisory Group, after measurement, they finally selected a medium-sized jet well, and perfectly installed it on the tail of the airship, after repeatedly confirming that there was no flaw and mismatch, they carried out a test flight, okay, really good, can fly, and faster, several generals of the Air Force laughed after inspecting it.

But another problem, the gas is obviously consumed faster and more wasteful, but this is nothing, there are financiers who are willing to ride, a little waste can be ignored, the generals reprimanded those who were extremely conservative in their opinion, and discouraged the interest of the whole dragoon, as for the designers of the airship, they did not dare to reprimand at all, that was the treasure of the Air Force, the greatest man in the Air Force, greater than the Supreme General of the Air Force.

This time the propeller was solved, but they found that there was still a problem. There was also a place where it was not safe enough, and that was the tail at the end of the airship, but in the end it turned out to be redundant, the tail was very strong, but the person who made a fuss was not punished, but was rewarded for his prudence.

Now that airbags, auxiliary airbags, pods, thrusters, finned tails, rudders and elevators are no longer a problem, airships will never fall.

However, in the world, the most feared thing is that the words are too full, and something unfortunate happened, the airship fell, and it burned in the air for unknown reasons, and the scene was extremely spectacular, like a huge fireball to the limit, burning like the sun.

And on a high ground in Boyue Bay, a naval officer was watching the scene through that kind of telescope, pointing with his finger and laughing loudly, while another naval officer next to him was also very proud, he was holding a meteor type grenadier that could launch upwards up to a maximum of more than 300 meters, and the airship was affected by the wind direction when passing through Boyue Bay, reduced its altitude and was hit by a blow.

"Hahaha, listen, that explosion, the dragon knights are finished, and the navy is finished." The man with the telescope had already thrown the telescope into the sea at this moment, pointing to the sky and saying proudly.

The man tore the navy symbol from the white uniform, the silver-white metal falcon logo, from the uniform, and threw it into the sea.

"This kind of sham can obviously be investigated, but who would have thought that it was ours, they would first suspect the navy, then the army, and then the chaos, our opportunity will come, it belongs to the navy." The man next to him said.

"Yes, this is the biggest deception, we do it, and then point all the evidence at us, blur the water, and smart people will lose their way, this is the most artistic place in politics, sometimes you know the truth, but you can't tell it." The naval officer who was holding the telescope just now looked relaxed at the moment, and he didn't care at all about the bigwigs of the country who died on the airship.

"Some transactions some time ago were targeted by a large number of people, and now, we have to find something to divert people's attention, this is enough, and the real purpose is to cause public anger and turn hatred into motivation."

"But is it okay? After all, he is an important figure in the country. ”

"What important people, there are so many capable people in the country, some of them are not in the way at all, the officials are dead, they can still be elected, the chaebol is dead, and their sons, it will not have any impact on the country, as for us, are you afraid of death? Just be prepared to be sacrificed. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, be ready to sacrifice for the great military department, and the headquarters will win."

The relaxed-looking naval officer nodded in satisfaction, and they boarded a small merchant ship next to them.

The officer was on the boat, humming a little song softly, while the soldier with the grenadier stood aside in silence and coldness, and the officers and men of the navy who drove the ship did not speak much, they did not know each other, and the soldier only knew that the officer was of a higher rank than him, so he obeyed.

A shocking case planned by naval adventurers happened in this way, the victims were the ones who were high up in the past, in the air, no matter how strong the strong were vulnerable, and countless national elites were finally killed collectively.

The newspaper La Repubblica published an astonishing news, which for a time aroused a strong reaction in Abiway, and for a time people from all walks of life speculated about the cause of the crash of the airship, and most of them believed that it was the problem of the airship itself, after all, it was a new thing, and it was normal for problems to go wrong, while some supporters of the airship put forward conspiracy theories, believing that it was an attack by conspirators.

On the way to India, all the condolences group that was traveling to the front line of the Eastern Demon Scorpion Holy War were killed, and the air force high command that received the news was silent, followed by suicide.

More than 30 percent of those responsible for this incident and more than 20 percent of those who were found responsible committed suicide, and the Air Force fell into a huge crisis that it had never seen before, the scolding and reprimanding of the members of the parliament, the reproach of the relatives of the national bigwigs, the fall of the mages, the ridicule of the Navy and the Army, oh, and the airship, which condensed the hope of the Air Force and the entire Dragon Knight Army, was destroyed, gone, all of this, did not defeat the Air Force.

They insisted that this was a huge conspiracy, a political event, the Dragon Knight Committee of Thirteen was initially absolute, sent a group of investigators, after detailed evidence, they found out the reason for the death of the airship, the Air Force believes that the airship did not crash by itself, but heroically fought with the conspirators and finally died honorably, they hope to convey to the outside world that the airship is an image of a tragic warrior, not an unreliable image of the airship, "Yes, our airship was sacrificed to despicable conspirators, They are the ones who carry out the dirtiest political pit crimes, they are terror and intimidation, there is already evidence that it was the navy, yes, the Sky Dragon Knights officially declare that we are at war with the navy, and if we do not defeat the navy, the war will not end, I hope everyone will not have any luck, the navy is a brutal enemy, an executioner, a murderer of airships, and avenge our warriors. "The Air Force Committee issued a call at the usual Dragoon Cavalry Meeting.

"Avenge the Silver Star, avenge the Silver Star, declare war on the Navy, declare war on the Navy." The air force was excited.

However, parliamentary investigators did not approve of the naval attack, saying that they believed that attacking the airship would not be beneficial to the navy, because there were many relatives of naval personnel on the airship, how could they attack it, and what the purpose would be, there would be no benefit at all, and the parliament believed that it should be considered from two aspects.

The first thing to consider is self-destruction, the airship is an unreliable, dangerous, and unproven shoddy thing, and flying itself should not be enjoyed by ordinary people, so it may not be a warning from the Supreme. And from the point of view of the one who benefits the most, the mages are the most justified to attack, and then the hostile opponents of the airship company are also possible.

A great change began, relations between the Air Force, the Navy, and the Army had never been more chaotic, and inside the Republic, the air was suddenly tense, full of people from the police station and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Arrests, interrogations, and assassinations will likely be a lingering shadow for the entire 205 years of the republican calendar.

And in this year's magazine, novels of various themes are also centered on the airship incident, and the novelists have developed a rich imagination, and most of them describe a similar fantasy, the mysterious evil organization blew up the airship for some evil purpose, and then the righteous heroes and the evil organization went against each other, and finally revealed the truth that the evil organization was Indian, and they provoked contradictions between the navy and the air force, and took the opportunity to destroy the republic.

The lower classes of the entire republic seemed to have found the truth, and they shouted one after another, "Increase the troops against the demon scorpion and punish those Indians." "Hot-blooded youths and people with ulterior motives have gone out into the streets, smashing down Indian-run clinics and restaurants, and burning down the Great Brahma Temple, where Indians gather.

The assassination of the archon of the republic, and the end of the Scorpion Holy War, struck a blow to some people, including the Admiralty and the War Department, and all their plans were in vain, including the benefits to the novelists.

The most ridiculous thing is that it was their own fanatical officers who assassinated the archon, and it was obvious that those fanatical officers were brainwashed by them very thoroughly, and they were really completely fooled by the slogan of conquering all countries for His Majesty, and even they couldn't control it, and after learning that the archons might ask the demon scorpion to 'divide the north and the south' because the war was not going well, and the news of the temporary truce, they went completely crazy, and then assassinated the archon, the famous Hesthea attack.

And long before, the archon claimed that he was injured because of the assassination, which had already frightened the army and navy, and after the behavior of the fanatical officers, they were angry and scolded the group of people for being stupid, and now the archon has rumored that he is disabled and can no longer be the archon, and as a result, the behavior of the fanatical officers not only did not prevent the so-called decision of a possible armistice, but promoted the armistice, a complete truce, and the most unbearable thing for them is that they are not human inside and out, Because the parliament took this opportunity to convey the message that "because the archon was assassinated by the radicals of the military department, an early general election was compelled and the republic was forced to cease hostilities." ”

Yes, everything is the fault of the military department, which in the eyes of the peaceful people started the war and committed a serious crime, and in the hearts of the hawks, the military department is stupid people, wounded the archons, helped the Indians.

And the airship became a kind of synonym, and later, once people described stupid things, they had to say that they were as stupid as the airships of the Air Force.

And the Air Force is the real unlucky, it has not done or said anything, but is forced to accept the responsibility it should not bear, and all the shame and losses it should not bear.

"However, the Dragon Knight Headquarters has not learned any lessons, and still has great confidence in the so-called airship, which is actually a coffin in the air, which is full of bad luck, and they have begun to call on the Air Force soldiers and Dragon Knight members to donate money to build the 'Avenger of Vengeance', which is really sad, and we express our silence again." -- Saints Magazine said in a letter to the Dragon Knight.
