Chapter 106: Looking Down on Oriental Harbor

It is said that now looking at the rising airship in the sky, the impact it brought to Xu Xiake is already similar to the feeling of the collapse of heaven and earth, although this huge spinning thing in the sky does not know how heavy, but just by virtue of its ability to float in the air, it has swept away all the naturalized people who witnessed this strange flying object.

Although the education system of the Oriental Port has explained the specific concept of buoyancy in detail, especially in the first class of the natural science course, there are veteran teachers who tell the students why the steel giant ship can float on the water and carry so much cargo. Although students can understand why buoyancy can lift a ship on the water, no one can understand why an airship can fly into the sky - even the old teacher has explained to them that air is as buoyant as water. But for the naturalized people, it is completely impossible to understand that a heavy object that can float into the sky is lighter than air......

Xu Xiake has not traveled all over China at the moment, but even if he has traveled all over the country, he is still full of longing for this thing that can ascend to heaven, and he has even begun to think about 'chaotic', wanting to find an opportunity to 'mix' on this airship and look down on this great river and mountain from the air.

But at this moment, he can only think about it, today's airship is only a test flight, and it can't fly to the north to pick up people. There are only more than ten crew members on the airship at the moment, and the main task is to ensure the normal flight, and it is not directly involved in the operation of going north to pick up the personnel. After all, this is the first time that the airship has left the ground, and no one knows what will happen.

"The ascent is too fast," Yuan Zhenli muttered to himself as he stared at the rapidly rotating altimeter, turning to the side to order the naturalized man who was controlling the inflation of the air bag, "Take back some hydrogen." ”

In order to facilitate the release and recovery of hydrogen into the air bags, the outlet of the hydrogen tank is directly connected to an air pump, which is then filled separately into different air bags, each of which is made of seamless steel pipes brought from the old space. Although seamless steel pipes can also be produced on a small scale in the Oriental Port, because the steel material has never reached the quality of the old world, the Ministry of Industry does not dare to use the seamless steel pipes produced in the Oriental Port on airships that can raise several veterans to a height of thousands of meters at every turn.

These pipes are installed with barometers produced in this time and space, although the quality of seamless steel pipes is not very good, but now Dongfang Port can produce barometers, and the quality is not bad, the only defect is that in the installation due to the bottom thread tolerance is somewhat large, so it must be wrapped with tape - this is also not produced in this time and space. Even the veterans of the Ministry of Chemical Industry 'door' keep claiming that as long as they wait until the organic chemical enterprises are put into production, they can produce their own, but I really don't know when they can do it, the production of these "black technology" is simply only the patriarch can master, and the veterans who came with the Dongfeng are only more than 500 people, the number of veterans is completely insufficient, these fruits on the branches of science and technology have to wait until these basic industries are completely on the right track before they can be put into research and development and production work.

The naturalized people quickly turned off the gas pump responsible for inflating, then reversed the switch and turned it back on, thus 'pumping' some of the hydrogen in the air bag back into several spare hydrogen tanks.

As the hydrogen in the airbag decreased, the speed of the airship's ascent began to slow down, and Yuan Zhenli couldn't help but exhale softly. As a veteran of the Air Force, even in that era when planes were flying all over the sky, he still had a certain understanding of airships, not to mention that Li Zhe specially found a German airship 'operation' manual some time ago and gave it to him. Although the airship can increase its take-off speed by filling it with hydrogen, it cannot rely entirely on hydrogen to meet the needs of lift-off, it needs more to make the whole airship at a critical value relative to air buoyancy, to ensure that the buoyancy is slightly high, but not too high. Otherwise, the airship will rise too fast, and the tension of the beams of the entire airship will increase to an unpredictable extent, and if such a large airship is torn apart by buoyancy in the air, it will be an unpredictable accident.

At this time, Yuan Zhenli's ears were already filled with the creaking sound of the metal beam frame being pulled and deformed by various forces, and now his heart was more frightened than nervous. Because the era of the passage has basically abandoned the airship, so they can accumulate not much airship data, even the force point of the airship beam frame these data are only the professional veterans of the Senate Design Institute through computer simulation to assist the calculation, in fact, whether it works, but also have to be verified by the actual 'operation'.

Due to the hurry, the interior of the airship was not decorated, and under their feet were staggered metal beams, on which wooden planks were laid - in order to prevent electric sparks, the airship builders tried to minimize the metal parts inside the airship, and even if the parts could not be reduced, they tried to wrap them in wooden planks or bakelite kits. At this moment, their heads are the belly of the huge airship - the airbag, and the construction plan is to use wooden planks to isolate the entire airship cabin from the airship airbag room, but this workload is quite large, if it is really to be carried out, at least more than a month of work, the northbound detachment cannot afford to wait, so the final method adopted can only choose to be simple - no isolation.

The only thing that is isolated is the engine compartment and the fuel compartment, the engine compartment is completely isolated from the airship hull, the whole room is only a small 'door' connected to the airship, after entering the engine room, you can see that there is a diesel unit inside, directly connected to several propellers outside the airship through the propeller shaft, due to the current technical level is not high, so several of the propellers belong to the duplicate setting. For example, there are two large propellers on both sides of the cockpit of the airship, which will blow the air flow downward to lift the airship up, and there are two propellers of the same type in the same position, which are to stir the air flow forward and backward when working, so that the airship can produce forward or backward propulsion. This setting is not only complicated to operate, but also the cost of the engine power is relatively large, but at present, the "door" of the technical department of the Senate cannot solve the steering problem of the engine transmission shaft, so the propulsion can only be guaranteed by repeatedly setting the propeller.

"Okay, it's five hundred meters now." Yuan Zhenli said and walked to the window - this is a floor-to-ceiling window built with a curved frame, although it is a world of difference compared to those large spherical glass in the old time and space, and there are even many subtle bubbles in the middle of the glass, but now these flat glasses installed on the curved frame are super luxurious in this time and space. Although there are still some impurities in these glasses that cannot be completely removed, so that the situation outside the glass cannot be seen as meticulously as the glass of the old time and space, it is still possible to see the ground clearly. The port of the East below the airship was now fully displayed in front of him.

The original earthen walls of Port Oriente have long since been replaced by a real wall, which is officially the old quarter of the earliest period. At this moment, the old district is still like the neatly arranged prefabricated houses at the beginning of the landing, but you don't need to look carefully at Yuan Zhenli to know that there are already a large number of rooms in it have been vacant, you must know that although the construction in the new old district near Bunker Hill has not been fully completed, but the large-scale renovation work has begun, and many veterans who choose simple decoration have already lived in it directly, after all, those single dormitories that share public toilets and washrooms have a usable area of more than 30 square meters with one bedroom and one living room, and the furniture and power supply inside are readily availableThere is also a dedicated 'door' cleaning staff who are responsible for the cleaning of the dormitory area. These are absolutely different from the upstairs and downstairs neighbors in the old old old district, where they can sit directly on their 'beds' and chat directly.

However, there is no plan to completely cancel the old old district, after all, the administrative district of Oriental Port is still within this city wall at this time, and the distance between the new old district and the administrative district is here, and it will take at least two hours to reach it on foot, and the shuttle bus used to connect the new old district and the administrative district will never arrive on time. Many veterans who are unwilling to wait for the shuttle bus directly choose to live in the old dormitory, at least the time it takes to go to their posts in the administrative district needs to be 'spent' to save a lot.

The old district is surrounded by a wide road, one of the widest avenues in the entire port of Vostochny, which has reached a width of four lanes and 16 meters to the unbelievable of naturalized residents, and has been lined with sidewalks for walking. Although this road is the widest, the current traffic rate is not high, only a few cars are driving on this road, which is absolutely unimpeded. At this moment, construction is underway on the five-star square in the south of the old district, which is a monument set up to commemorate the fierce battle on the five-star square in the defense of the port of the East last year. Busy workers are carrying various building materials in and out like ants near the work site.

The outer side of the road has been surrounded by equally neat buildings, large and small, some of which are very new, some of which are old-looking—this is because many of the buildings were built shortly after the landing, and due to the lack of building materials, they are often built because of the simplicity of the buildings, and many of the buildings are not even painted with stucco on the outside, so they look very old. However, these buildings were put into use directly after completion, and there are no buildings that can be replaced at the moment, so we can only pinch our noses and continue to use such old buildings.

However, there is nothing in these buildings to bring modern equipment, and there is no electricity - in the words of the patriarchs, these houses are absolutely dangerous, and it is already a matter of life for people to stay in them, if you put modern equipment in them, in case the house falls, these valuable things must be hopeless, these modern equipment is absolutely bad, one less piece, and there is absolutely no place to purchase it. As for electricity – just kidding, these buildings are basically original wooden structures, and it only took half an hour for the three-story residential buildings that were burned down during the Chinese New Year to be completely destroyed from the methane gas explosion, and if the electrical circuit went off, it was really too late to put out the fire.

The functions of the outer complex are more complex, with residential quarters for naturalized people, large-scale canteens, and a supermarket set up by the Ministry of Commerce and Trade - originally for the use of the elders themselves, which are nothing more than some old time and space materials such as instant noodles and ham sausages brought by the old time and space. As these supplies were swept away early, supermarkets began to put products from the time and space on their shelves, from coarse cloth clothes and pants to fruits and vegetables. The patriarchs had limited spending power, so after discussions with the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, it was finally decided to open the supermarket to naturalized people, who could enter the supermarket by showing their identity cards and purchasing the items they needed.

The naturalized people had long been curious about the supermarket that the patriarchs could enter and leave at will and talked about every day, and they were naturally eager to enter at this moment, and the supermarket was already sold out in just a few hours, and the Ministry of Commerce and Trade had to adopt purchase restrictions to restore the normal operation of the supermarket.

At this moment, the residential administrative area has already wrapped the old area tightly in the center like a white wrapped in egg yolk, and some places in the southeast are the port area, and the port area at this moment has a number of wharves and trestle bridges, a large number of ships are docked next to it, and busy workers are quickly loading and unloading ships and materials on the wharf. Cranes spewing black smoke lift large "standard containers" on the docks and place them in modified open cabins, while others are lifting containers from open holds and placing them on flatbed trucks parked on docks under the command of workers waving red and yellow flags. Tracks stretched out to the docks, on which many of the parked flatbed railcars were docked, and the heads of small steam locomotives were busily pushing the flatbed to their predetermined stops or hauling them to the stacks.

The entire Dongfang Port was like a busy beehive, although it was busy but orderly, Yuan Zhenli couldn't help but take a long breath, and looked at the beacon tower next to the port area, which was no longer completely invisible, and it was now a strong coastal fortress, and the high wall of the fortress was parked
