Since the Chinese Empire's airship appeared in the war and wiped out the combined Anglo-French fleet in one fell swoop, the "airship" has become the target of attention of various countries. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Later, the airships of the Chinese Empire flew to France and Britain to bomb leaflets, and finally forced Britain and France to negotiate peace with the Chinese Empire, and the countries had a new understanding of airships.

Kaiser Wilhelm II: "The German Empire needed an air fleet to break the blockade of the Anglo-French navies. ”

The President of Great Britain and the President of France: "We will build a powerful airship and defeat the yellow-skinned monkey and disgrace." ”

President of the United States: "We in the United States cannot be pulled down by the world, and we must also build advanced airships." ”

"This is an opportunity for us to rise in this empire, as long as our empire can make powerful airships, we can be among the top powers." ”

For a time, Western countries have invested more or less money in the research and development of airship technology, and even the island nation of Yueben has also reduced food and clothing under the leadership of the king of Wa and invested a sum of money in the field of airships.

When the picture of the Royal No. 1 airship of the Chinese Empire made headlines in Western newspapers, many Western aristocrats also wanted to get such a private airship, which could soar in the sky without being bound by the earth, and even travel around the world by airship.

Western countries not only invest money in the research and development of airship technology, but also some big businessmen in the West also think that airships are powerful and profitable, especially the kind of large airships of the Chinese Empire, once successfully manufactured, will bring them rich benefits, so they have invested money, looking for talents, and began to develop airship technology.

So the British, French, German and American national airship industry showed a big outbreak posture, almost every day there are new airship-related companies born, in the stock market, and airship-related companies, stocks are rising, and even the arrival of the silver crisis, but only let the airship stocks have a certain degree of decline, but after the silver crisis, it soon rose back, with one airship after another was developed, the stocks of those companies that made airships rose sharply, and many businessmen made a lot of money, attracting more businessmen to participate in it.

One after another "big" airship was born, and the West also has gasoline engines, diesel engines, Westerners will use gasoline engines and diesel engines as the power of airships, so that the airship technology has been improved to a certain extent, but the so-called "big" airship in the West is only larger and larger in shape and volume, but the buoyancy brought by the airship has not been much improved, up to now, the maximum buoyancy is not more than three tons, if you subtract the weight of the airship and the weight of the crew, then the airship will not have much buoyancy, what is the use of such an airship?

The Chinese Empire's airship is different, the Chinese Empire has three types of airships: Kunpeng-6 light airship, Kunpeng-7 medium-sized airship, and Kunpeng-8 heavy airship, the Kunpeng-6 airship has a load of eight tons, the Kunpeng-7 airship has a load of 26 tons, and the Kunpeng-8 has a load of 65 tons.

It is not surprising that there is such a big gap between the airships of Western countries and the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire has the most advanced airship technology, and other countries cannot get their hands on it using various methods, so they can only explore it themselves, but other countries have come into a misunderstanding, they are vigorously developing soft airships!

Airships can be divided into: hard airships, semi-rigid airships and soft airships, with hard airships maintaining their shape and rigidity through an internal skeleton; The soft airship maintains its shape through the gas pressure in the shell, supplemented by the variable volume of air in the internal auxiliary airbag, and the airships of the Chinese Empire are all hard airships, and the airships of Western countries are basically soft airships.

However, the current material technology is difficult to support the birth of large soft airships, at least it will take decades to develop material technology, in order to give birth to a soft airship comparable to the hard airship of the Chinese Empire, in the next few decades, the soft airship is a dead end after all, the Chinese Empire will not be kind to the Western countries, I wish that the Western countries hit this dead end, never look back.

In order to delay the development of hard airships by Western countries, the Ministry of Intelligence of the Chinese Empire also sent personnel to assassinate Ferdinand von Zieblin of Germany, but Ferdinand von Ziebling was a German nobleman, and he was assassinated, causing a big storm in Germany, but fortunately, the hands and feet of the Ministry of Intelligence were not discovered.

With the scientific and technological level of Western countries, one day they will be able to build large airships, and with one Britain alone, its industrial strength is much stronger than that of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire is no match for the entire Western world, so the Chinese Empire must also develop weapons to defend against airships.

There is no better weapon against an airship than an airship killer - an airplane.

If an airship is a lighter-than-air aircraft, then an airplane is a heavier-than-air aircraft, and the aircraft is powered by engines (power plants) to generate forward thrust or pull, and lift is generated by the fixed wings of the fuselage, and can fly in the atmosphere.

In October last year, the Frenchman Clément Adel successfully flew an airplane at an altitude of 20 centimeters and flew 50 meters, and the "Aeol" aircraft of Clement Adel was considered the first aircraft in the world to be French. The army was quite interested in Adel's invention, and at this time France urgently needed a weapon to deal with the airship of the Chinese Empire. The military provided him with funding to continue the experiments on the aircraft.

Yan Xueyi knew about Clement Adel, but he didn't make any moves, because the "Fengshen" plane used steam power, and even if Clemand Adel was given another ten years, he wouldn't be able to study anything, unless France. The military has invested a lot of money, which is obviously impossible in France, where the silver crisis is raging.

In the Tianzi No. 1 base, a young man from Zheng Rong and a team of nearly 100 people are developing the aircraft.

Zheng Rong is a graduate of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Yuanhe University, quite proficient in machinery, like to fiddle with some strange things, and finally was approached by the Ministry of Intelligence, because of the worship of the emperor, Zheng Rong did not hesitate to accept the recruitment, away from Yuanhe City, became a member of the Tianzi No. 1 base, after getting an initial aircraft information from Yan Xueyi, he was deeply attracted by the figure of the aircraft, and began to develop the aircraft.

More than a year has passed, Zheng Rong's team has built three aircraft, one is more advanced than the other, but it has not yet reached the level of entering the war, Zheng Rong's team is continuing to work hard.

In the not-too-distant future, airplanes will eventually replace airships as the masters of the skies.
