Chapter 59: Airplanes

readx;?“ Slow down your fart! He Rolling Long was also shouting loudly, and the two of them were very nervous at this time, and unconsciously both of them were yelling, "I simulated a single flight!" Not a big problem! As he spoke, he turned off the motor that had been stopped, then turned up the speed of the motor on the other side, and then adjusted the rudder to stabilize the direction of flight.

Now it was Yuan Zhenli's turn to be dumbfounded, "Can you still fly alone?" ”

"Yes," He Rolling Dragon didn't have time to explain, and looked intently in the direction of the fires in the distance.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The naturalized people below are carrying bundles of LED light strips along the runway along the direction pointed by the fire, these light bands were purchased in the old time and space, and were originally intended to be used for signs and other purposes in the old district, but at this time, Du Yande moved out of the warehouse with a group of naturalized laborers. Fortunately, since the establishment of the Planning Commission, He Shasha is in charge of warehouse management, although this female veteran can be regarded as powerless, but the management of warehousing can be described as in an orderly manner. Sleepy-eyed, she was urgently called to the door of the warehouse area in her pajamas, and as soon as she heard that she wanted LED light tape, she directly reported the warehouse number of the warehouse, and quickly opened the warehouse door with a group of people and took away dozens of light tapes.

Du Yande didn't have time to sign, so he climbed into the off-road vehicle with people and hurried to the airport. She grabbed the folder with one hand and handed it over, "I also need to indicate the purpose and when I will return it." ”

"I'm dizzy!" Du Yande was so depressed that he almost fell headlong, "We are here to save lives!" ”

"Then I don't care!" He Shasha stuffed the folder forward again, "These are the old space-time material reserves of the Senate, if they are lost, it will be a big deal!" ”

"This is for your brother's plane to land, they are running out of power now, and they can ...... if they fall."

"Then why don't you hurry up and sign it?" He Shasha hurriedly climbed into the off-road vehicle in three steps, and at the same time stuffed the folder into Du Yande's hand, turned to the militia in charge of guarding the warehouse, and shouted: "You lock up the warehouse, wait for me to come back," and then patted the veteran in charge of driving on the shoulder, "Drive!" ”

"Where?" The veteran who was photographed was inexplicable, "Go to the airport!" I'll have to watch my brother land. ”

Du Yande couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded, "Let's drive, by the way, He Shasha, how do you fill in this form?" ”

…………………………

Under the control of He Rolling Dragon, the light plane quickly stabilized, and flew sideways in the direction of the fire. Yuan Zhenli was nervous and excited, excited that this twin-engine plane could still fly normally without a set of power, and the nervous thing was that the motor used in this kind of aircraft was not the same as the motor they brought, if it burned out in the fault just now, I am afraid that it would take several years to build this kind of motor. Although this plane can fly and land in a single engine, it may not be able to fly alone, and if the remaining motor is also broken, it can only be used as a glider.

In the distance, the runway suddenly shone with two bands of light, and although it looked a little crooked, it showed the outline of the runway very clearly, so that landing was no problem at all. The two of them couldn't help but give a high-five in the plane, which was not even time to be happy, and with a dripping sound, the red warning light of the last set of batteries went out completely. They watched as the propeller above stopped moving in just a few seconds.

"I'll go! At this time, there is no power! He Rolling Dragon almost jumped up in anger, leaned back in annoyance, forgetting that he was a bench, and ended up flipping to the back. Meow, it looks like I'm really going to make a crash landing now. ”

Yuan Zhenli smiled and switched the power supply line to the first set of batteries, and the red light of the power warning flashed again.

"The battery is this characteristic, after a while there will always be a little power back, although this electricity is not much, it should be enough for us to land, come on, continue to fly single-engine." Saying that, Yuan Zhenli pulled He Rolling Dragon up again. "Looks like I'm going to get you to practice solo flying."

"Good Ratcha!" He Rolling Long's confidence at this time also recovered along with the power. The rest of the matter was logical, maintaining course and speed to reach the landing area, and then adjusting the attitude, there was not enough electricity to circle, and they plunged directly onto the runway.

As soon as the plane stopped, the hatch was opened, and the two people jumped out directly from inside, Yuan Zhenli ran around the plane directly, and then hugged the plane and kissed it. When he turned his head, he saw He Rolling Dragon lying on the ground.

"What's wrong?" He ignored the carriage that was approaching in the distance, and hurriedly pulled He Rolling Dragon up from the ground. This He Rolling Dragon's face was full of dirt, it turned out that he was kissing the runway, and this guy grinned at Yuan Zhenli while spitting out the soil in his mouth.

"It's okay, traditionally, if there's a dangerous situation, you have to kiss the runway after landing. Ha ha. ”

…………………………

"The plane has already broken down due to continuous operation, and it is impossible for it to take off again in the short term, and our army will go south after dawn today, and without aerial reconnaissance, I am afraid there will be some difficulties." Li Jieqi was sitting in a conference room near the airport at this time, this conference room was used to give mission briefings to the future air force, even when there was only one small plane in the entire Senate at this time, Yuan Zhenli and He Rolling Long almost used the funds to build the runway, conference room, and air force dormitory.

"Yes, we don't know what is wrong with the plane now, and we can't check it until after dawn." Yuan Zhenli said as he picked the wick of the oil lamp on the table outward, and a small oil flower gently exploded, splashing a little oil star on the nearby table. "It's not impossible to conduct aerial reconnaissance, reconnaissance can be carried out by small drones, but in that case, it is more difficult to operate in real time, and I don't have time to check the aircraft. Although we have selected a few naturalized citizens to use as ground crew, we all know that they are simply not up to the task of maintaining aircraft circuits. ”

"Okay, then tomorrow your main task is to inspect the plane, and try to get the plane back in the sky as soon as possible." Du Yande smiled lightly and nodded, "Your air force has worked hard tonight, and according to the naval radar records, you should have eliminated at least one enemy warship in your attack." ”

"I'm thinking about something else." He Rolling Long tapped lightly on the table and said, "It is necessary for us to build our own air force, and we need to build our own aircraft." ”

Everyone was stunned, and after being cold for half a minute, Yuan Zhenli couldn't help but explain a little embarrassed, "This is also my opinion, our plane attendance during this period is quite high, so that we have no time to maintain the aircraft, which almost caused an accident tonight." In fact, airplanes appeared very early, as long as there is a good prime mover, it can be realized. ”

"The prime mover? The prime mover is the biggest problem! Du Yande's mind was confused, "Do we use a steam engine to drive the plane?" ”

"The steam engine was indeed tried to be used as aircraft power in the early days," Yuan Zhenli shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "but it is not suitable for use as aircraft power, because it requires boilers and water, and it is an external combustion engine." As we all know, the heat loss of external combustion engines is very large, and it is often more obvious in the air because of the cold at high altitude. Coal is then required to burn, which is also extremely inappropriate, and the fuel occupies a very large tonnage, which is fatal to both the speed of the voyage. The electric system cannot be used as a military aircraft, and the speed of replenishment is too slow, which affects the combat effectiveness. For the time being, it seems that only internal combustion engines can be used for development. ”

"But the material of the aircraft is also a big problem," Du Yande interrupted Yuan Zhenli's speech, "I remember that the British collected aluminum alloy kitchen utensils to build airplanes during the air war in Britain, and it is impossible for us to make aluminum under our existing conditions, let alone titanium." Also, the problem of the internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine is to use petroleum products, we did bring a set of oil shale refining equipment, and it is no problem to change to refine oil, but the problem is that we have not found oil or oil shale at all. ”

"The problem of aircraft materials will not be big at that time," He Rolling Long said eloquently, "Airplanes were first made of wood, and our current black technology can be hundreds of years ahead of this time and space, and we can also use wood to build airplanes like during World War I, and we have a better choice, directly copying the 'mosquito' bomber and making airplanes from wooden planks." This airplane was designed because of the lack of metal materials, so it was made of wood, which was very readily available at the time. This all-wood structure of the aircraft is light, large bomb load, fast speed, the best place is that the price is low and saves raw materials, even our wood factory can mass production. ”

"What's the use of mass production?" Du Yande, who was on the side, couldn't help but interrupt his speech again, "Motivation! Power is the bottleneck! What do you use as an engine? We bring a lot of diesel and gasoline engines ourselves, but the problem is that we don't have enough inventory. We came to this new plane, all the fuel we used was brought by ourselves, and now that the six tanks are empty, don't you see that the draft line of the Dongfeng is floating a lot now? We have almost exhausted the modern supplies brought by the Dongfeng - ah no, the future supplies are almost exhausted, and when they are all consumed, what will we use? ”

"It's not that it can't be helped," the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Shi Li walked in, followed by Liu Yeqiang. "There is a way to get gasoline, but not in large quantities."

"Oh?" Almost everyone said this, and they all turned their heads to look at the two of them.

"That's right!" Liu Yeqiang nodded and threw a folder on the table, "We got a lot of coal tar and wood tar when we coking and dry distilling wood during this time, which can be fractionated by the equipment we brought, not only gasoline, but also diesel and kerosene, I made a detailed plan and feasibility analysis, and I looked for you for a night, and I had a meeting here." As he spoke, Liu Yeqiang pulled out his chair and sat down without minding the eyes of others, "Now let me introduce the refining equipment and steps......
