Chapter 107: Airship Test Flight 2

Yuan Zhenli naturally remembered the beacon tower on the day of landing, compared to the current situation, the entire Dongfang Port seemed to emerge from the ground, and it was not at all what he saw at that time. Although the urban construction of Dongfang Port has been earth-shaking after more than a year of construction, it has not been able to escape from the inevitable phenomenon of rapid construction - shoddy construction.

It's not that he hasn't looked down at Dongfang Port from the sky, but he usually flies an airplane, even if the speed is slow, it is at least **ten kilometers per hour, and the flight altitude is not very high, so looking down from the sky is a bit of a fleeting taste, and he can't see it clearly. But at this time on the airship, the flight speed is only **ten kilometers in the sky, and at this moment it is in a suspended state, and it is very easy to see anything, and you don't need to keep an eye on the ground and the dashboard at all times as you used to observe from the air, you can watch it carefully as if you were sightseeing.

Although there are many houses in Dongfang Port, they look decent from the rough, but many of these houses that were driven out in a short period of time have fallen off in many places, and the roofs of many houses have been lifted in the previous typhoons, and many houses that were originally allocated to naturalized residents have to be vacant at this moment, because these houses have no roofs, or large areas of tiles have been lifted off, and he can even see the inside of many rooms - absolutely messy.

Although the construction department is now working overtime every day to carry out the repair work, after all, the manpower is limited, and there are too many damaged houses, and it is impossible to complete the repair of all the houses in a short period of time.

In fact, Xie Mingfang has already submitted a proposal on this matter, she proposed to directly tear down and rebuild the existing houses that have been damaged by the typhoon, at this time Dongfang Port not only has enough bricks and cement, but also can directly produce prefabricated panels, compared to renovating those damaged houses, if it is completely demolished and rebuilt, it will be easier, and it will not be like now when it encounters a typhoon. Of course, it will cost more money to rebuild the damaged houses than to repair them, and the Ministry of Finance is discussing this plan with the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. Thinking of this, Yuan Zhenli couldn't help but smile slightly, he felt that this plan to completely overturn and rebuild was still very extravagant, but he had also entered those naturalized houses, and the situation inside was indeed sparse, the wind was strong, and the wind was really leaking on all sides, and it was raining heavily outside and it was raining lightly in these places.

Sun Diyuanke's only grandson hated the cold and cold

Although the naturalized residents are grateful for the allocation of houses for them to live in, after a long time, these leaky residential buildings still make them quite complaining. Many naturalized residents have maintained their houses for repairs many times, but after several large-scale expansions of the various departments of the Construction Committee, it can be said that it is a drop in the bucket in front of the huge Oriental Port, so the demand for repairing the houses has not been met for a long time, and many naturalized residents can only choose to do their own food and clothing, and repair the inside and outside of the houses with yellow mud and lime, making the original uniform white exterior walls like camouflage.

Yuan Zhenli couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and no longer looked at the situation in the residential area and turned in the direction of the harbor. At this moment, the ships in the harbor are busy entering and exiting the harbor under the guidance and towing of the pilot ship, and the harbor has been repaired by this time, and is surrounded by an earthen embankment, leaving only the passage to enter and leave the harbor. This is to defend the port, once there is an attack on the eastern port, the narrow sleep will block the enemy fleet, the enemy can only enter the port through the channel one by one, even the most powerful enemy, it will have to pay a lot of casualties to complete the occupation.

At this moment, there are still a lot of cargo ships on the open sea, waiting to load and unload materials, these cargo ships are large and small, with different shapes, some are close to each other in groups, and some are just one that does not get close to other ships. The same is true of the sailors on the ship, many of whom gather on the deck to chat and laugh, but the sailors on duty stand by the deck guns, staring at the ships nearby. Robbing ships is a common thing in the ocean, if you see the shadow of the sail in the distance, the captain's first reaction is to be ready to turn, if there are many people, immediately prepare to escape, if the other side is small, you can also grab a hand. Even if this is the sea area of the Chinese, it cannot withstand the sudden attack of people with a desire for profit, and most of the ships at this time are docked, and once they are attacked suddenly, although the ships may not necessarily be taken away, they cannot run away with heavy casualties.

Yuan Zhenli knew these things, and he had seen this situation more than once in his frequent sea flight training, but because he didn't know the following situation, he never tried to directly intervene by force. But now this is in the waters of Vostochny Harbor, and the Coast Guard frigate flying the Polaris flag is cruising nearby, the guns on board have long since faded their gun suits, and the sailors are standing meticulously in their respective positions, vigilantly looking at these "cargo ships" in the distance. You must know that now these Fuchuan frigates with a displacement of only more than 400 tons at best have to face ships much larger than themselves at the moment, and the ships that generally go to the ocean are five or six hundred tons, and the large transport ships of Medeno are even more than 100 tons, even if they are more than 1,000 tons, it is not unseen. At this moment, although Medno and China have not declared war on each other in the open, they have done a lot of stabbing in secret. Now these Medeno transports look honest and harmless, but who knows if they will be sharpening their knives in secret? If it suddenly rushes up and attacks, although the frigate has a slight advantage in firepower, if it is surrounded, it will definitely suffer at close range, and if it is jumped by someone, the loss will be even greater, so the sailors never dare to hope that these Maidno people will abide by the law, and it is better to do their own thing.

"Chief, the rate of rise has flattened." The naturalized citizen next to him reported loudly. Yuan Zhenli nodded and looked at the dashboard, he had never been in the air so easily, and he felt as relaxed and comfortable as driving a boat. Although the altimeter on the dashboard is still shaking, it has basically stayed within the range of more than 500 meters. He knew that now the airship had entered a suspended state, and now it was like a submarine in the sea, and the whole airship was not directly affected by air buoyancy.

"Turn on the engine and connect the 1234 thrusters!" Yuan Zhenli gave the order. Soon the sound of a diesel engine came from the engine compartment, and after a while the clutch began to work, transmitting power to the 1234 thrusters. These four thrusters were located on both sides of the airship, and Yuan Zhenli soon saw that the propellers began to rotate slowly, and he could feel that the airship was speeding up from the subtle inertia brought to him by the floor without looking at the dashboard.

"The speed has reached six knots!" The soldier in charge of the dashboard shouted. Yuan Zhenli couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, what's going on? He is the least fond of naval units of measurement, how many knots and how many chains are at every turn, and there are even patriarchs who like to use yards to report distances. But when he looked over, he found that it was a soldier wearing a navy blue sailor uniform, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and then he remembered that this soldier applied to be transferred from the navy by himself, because the piloting of the airship and the ship are quite common, and the steering and docking work in the air is quite cumbersome, and his air force pilot can't meet the needs at all, so not only the sailor in charge of the dashboard, but even the sailor standing next to the rudder wheel is also a sailor wearing a sailor uniform. However, this must not be done by the navy alone, so there is an air force soldier standing next to these sailors, and their duty is to learn these piloting skills from these sailors.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhenli couldn't help but close his eyes and lamented in his heart, it seems that he will often hear about these naval units in the future, and even his own air force soldiers will definitely learn the same measurement habits from these sailor teachers of theirs.

As soon as he saw the sailors, this also made him feel a little uncomfortable, although the airship at this time was claimed to be air force equipment, but there was a lot of dispute over the ownership. In addition to the Air Force, the Navy's ownership of airships is also eyeing up, especially a group of veterans who participated in the Navy in this time and space, they insisted that there is a word boat on the airship, and the principle of flying in the air is the same as that of a submarine underwater, and it is inherently naval equipment. For this matter, the air force and the navy have fought several rounds of verbal battles, and even staged a full-force fight for this at the meeting several times, and the air force veterans originally only had He Rolling Long and Yuan Zhenli, and they were inevitably a little lonely, if it weren't for the relationship with He Rolling Dragon, which called many army veterans to help, the air force would inevitably fall behind.

At this moment, the words that several veterans of the War Department patted their chests and said to him suddenly appeared in his heart, "Don't worry! I wanted to clean up the grandsons of the Navy early on, and call us at the next meeting, in our army, can we still make this group of sea kings turn the sky upside down? Yuan Zhenli couldn't help but sigh again and shook his head, now the ownership of the airship has been temporarily transferred to the Air Force by the Executive Committee, the main reason is to let them complete the test flight as soon as possible, and then go north as soon as possible to pick up the personnel of the northbound detachment, but this transfer order neither determines the ownership of the airship, nor does it directly delineate whether this airship is the Air Force or the Navy, "It seems that there will be fights in the future." Yuan Zhenli couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

============================= divider =============================

"There's something in the sky!" With the exclamations of the sailors, the sailors of the Villópolis rushed to the deck and crowded to the side of the ship. Everyone looked in the direction of the man's finger, and there was a large white spindle-shaped object floating in the sky, which did not look good, and even looked like a clumsy cow, but it was able to float freely in the air, and the sailors exclaimed.

The feud is far away, and the ghost ship ball battle is cold and cold

"What's that?" "It's weird! Why fly? "Is this levitation?"

A sailor, who looked obviously older, shook his head and said, "This must not be a levitation technique, the levitation technique is our Mydno spell, or it has died out with the destruction of the mage tower hundreds of years ago, and I haven't seen anyone use it in the past few hundred years, so it is definitely not a levitation technique." ”

"And what kind of spell do you think this is?" Someone next to him was not happy and asked directly.

"I don't know what kind of spell this is, but the fact that this thing can float in the air at the moment shouldn't have much to do with spells." The old sailor shook his head as he spoke.

After being far away, Sun hated by Leng Yuan

Later, the branch of science and science of the Sun Shu Institute of solitary sealing

Miro had already gone up to the deck when the sailors had just raised the alarm, but he had a better viewing position - the aft tower, which was a place where senior sailors and captains could come up, unlike the crowded deck at the moment, there were not many people on the aft floor, except for a few people such as the first and second officers, only the duty officer was still on it.

As for the spindle-shaped thing in the air at the moment, he could see it far better than the sailors, for he had a telescope in his hand.

With the help of the telescope, he could clearly see the ribs of the spindle-shaped thing and the canvas covering it, and there were some irregular patterns on these canvases, which he knew must be the product of the Oriental Port Textile Mill, for the canvas he had just recently replaced had similar patterns on it. Beneath the spindle-shaped thing is a small room made of glass that hangs upside down, and from the window reflecting the sunlight, you can see a faint figure shaking, and someone must be driving it.

The "flying cow" has rotating blades on both sides, and as these blades turn, it seems to be propelling it slowly through the air, but Miro is too far away to determine the cow's speed.

He couldn't help but pull out a few silver coins from his pocket, and put them in front of him one by one to compare them with the spindle in the air. But neither airplanes nor warships, there is nothing similar to this spindle on the silver coin. Miro couldn't help but sigh, and lowered his head to play with these silver coins, which were basically commemorative coins that Xiao Lihua got for him. These silver coins, which are often played with, are now shiny with silver rubbed by hand, but at this moment they cannot provide him with any information about the Chinese.

"It seems that this is a new thing made by the Chinese, and you can't run to Dongfang Port again, right?" He shook his head slightly. At this moment, the transport ship Velopolis is anchoring the cargo ship anchor outside the port of Orient Harbor, and they followed the Dongfeng to Hong Kong some time ago to return.
