Chapter 177: The Germans Fall into the Pit (2/3)
Hao Dajian is assembling their self-made plane with the three rough embryos of the ground crew, the shape of this plane is very retro, Hao Dajian himself can't tell whether this plane has appeared in history, the plane he originally painted on the drawings was modified by Chopper to become the current appearance.

Chopper told him that even if the engine he had designed could match the numbers on paper, it wouldn't be able to take the aircraft he had designed based on the Englishman's NC-4 seaplane. The final design was modified to bring the shape of the aircraft closer to that of the British. Pedy 0/400?bomber, well, it's just close.
Dubbed the Daystar One, the Voyager has a twin-engine, two-wing mechanism, extra-long wings, and dense wiring to fix the wings and tail, making it look more like a large kite with a complex mechanism.
The Daystar 1 is a wooden structure with cloth skin, and the engine that the Crossing Crowd has saved up is just like that, and it is impossible to carry an airplane with a metal frame structure. What the? You say aluminum frame!? If the traversal can mass-produce metal aluminum at this time, then don't bother to get any planes, and sell metal aluminum directly to make more money.
Although Hall of the Americans and Erou of the French had invented the method of electrolysis to extract aluminium ten years ago, this method has not yet been applied to the large-scale production of aluminum, which is still a precious metal in this era.
As for what does not design a single-engine aircraft, the first is that the safety factor of a double-engine aircraft is always higher than that of a single-engine, and the second is because the "North American Mustang" that crossed the crowd earlier is a double-engine style, which has already appeared in the Liaodong Peninsula, and there is no need to teach the indigenous single-engine to slip this fact. Third, the power of the engine that was saved up was too touching, and the single engine belt couldn't move.
In the end, it was Chopper and Hao Dajian's bad taste that made this look like the British. Peti 0/400?The bomber's plane was sold to the British more than ten years in advance, and this kind of pleasure is also a kind of fun.
"Almost, just wait for Zhao Lang to deliver the goods, install the engine and test flight." Hao Dajian looked at the "Daystar No. 1", which was close to completion, and said.
"You don't want to test fly by yourself, can Zhao Yi agree?" Chopper asked.
"Koeman has found a lot of Britons who are not afraid of death to test flights, but I am afraid that I will not be able to teach them in a short time, and let them test the flight if they don't fly well and they will be damaged, so I'd better do it myself." I agreed with Zhao Yi that I would leave the ground for a short while, just like the Wright brothers did during their test flight. Hao Dajian said, but with his character, it is difficult to say what moths will come out on the day of the test flight.
"That's fine, those two engines can't raise any speed, and it's not dangerous to fly close to the ground." Chopper obviously didn't know much about the pilot he shot down from the sky, and there was a terrifying restlessness in his bones.
"It is said that the Germans will be arranged to watch in the dark during the test flight?" Chopper asked.
"yes, this Brit is playing balance with us, can't we play? Hehe, after a while, when they cried, they were still playing ambiguously with us on the Liaodong issue, hum! Hao Dajian said.
The Germans were so interested in selling the technology that was said to improve the accuracy of the Krupp guns at long distances, and they even waited for the Army to send an officer observation mission. The German government commissioned a technical representative of the Krupp company to sell artillery in China and hurried to Dalian Bay to verify the authenticity of this technology.
Obviously, this technique of artillery firing, assisted by optical ranging equipment, did improve the accuracy of the Krupp guns on the Dalian Bay battery at long distances. The live firing of the Qing artillery surprised the technicians of the Krupp company, and these soldiers with braided hair were all slightly rusty from the technical action of clearing the loading and firing of ammunition, and they seemed to be some new soldiers. Obviously, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not lie to him on this issue, so the excellent shooting results obtained by these artillerymen using the Krupp heavy shore defense guns were all the more prominent, and the accuracy of such firing at such a distance was difficult for a well-trained German artilleryman to achieve.
"Xiao, this artillery shooting technique is amazing, give us two hundred sets of this equipment." The Krupp technician said excitedly.
"Aha, that's fine. In fact, you don't have to order so much, with your country's technology, just get a few samples back and copy them, and we can authorize you to produce this kind of optical ranging equipment. Xiao Ziyuan obviously made up for the knowledge of sales after being sprayed last time, and he had already begun to take people to the ditch.
"In fact, we like these guns produced by your company very much, you have a certain foundation in metallurgical technology. I think we have a lot of room for cooperation in the production of artillery and armor. You know that it is not cost-effective to always rely on air to maintain the supply of armaments on the Liaodong Peninsula, and the local production of weapons has been put on the agenda of the parliament. My family also has a similar business to Krupp, and I think if I can find a partner here and win the empire's arms production order in the Liaodong Peninsula, my voice in the family will be much higher in the future. I wonder if your company is interested in my idea? Xiao Ziyuan said the lines that he had memorized all night last night.
"Ah, what an honor, Shaw. Thank you for thinking of Krupp in the first place, and I will convey your thoughts to the company. The German said excitedly.
It was no secret to the Great Powers that the Footpot Chicken was slaughtered by the artillery of the chariots that passed through them outside the range of their field artillery. The Germans were also very interested in the powerful artillery mounted on the chariot of the Great Song Dynasty, and the technicians of the Krupp company also asked to see the chariot artillery this time.
However, it was rejected by the Crossing Crowd on the grounds that it was not authorized by the Parliament, and the Germans saw that the 120mm "Abrams" smoothbore main gun they built more than a hundred years later had no practical benefit to the Crossing Crowd, and the rough embryos decisively rejected the Germans' request.
However, even this did not change Krupp's perception that Da Song had mastered advanced artillery manufacturing technology. When Xiao Ziyuan threw an olive branch of cooperation to them, how could they not be excited?
"I remind you privately that this cooperation is subject to parliamentary approval. The British have been vacillating in their stance on our secession of the Liaodong Peninsula lately, and many of the business plans of the families that had planned to work with the British have been rejected by Parliament. I think it would be better for your company to influence your government on this issue, so that it will be more beneficial for us to cooperate. "The meat show is finally here, and I still have to give the polar bear eye drops in the end.
"I'll pass on this advice from yours to the upper echelons of the company, Shaw." The German swore by it.
"Hahaha, my friend, maybe you should stay here for a few more days. Our plane for the Brit is going to fly in a few days, don't you want to see it? Xiao Ziyuan said.
This is a serial set through the public, and if you enter the pit, you can't help but step on it, and you can't buy it.
