[The problem of currency reform is like this, currency reform is a big problem, if the author writes in detail, he can write millions of words, embarrassment, can only be abbreviated, many details are not written]

On the seventeenth day of the first month of the first year of Xinghua, Yan Xueyi, the ruler of the Chinese Empire, and his wife Chang Yuxin conducted the first inspection of the year, and the target of the inspection was the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire and the main shipyards in the empire.

Yan Xueyi's first inspection is obviously of great significance, Yan Xueyi represents the entire Chinese Empire, and Yan Xueyi's first inspection target is the navy and shipyards, which means that the Chinese Empire will put the development of the navy and shipyards in the first place in the future.

The Chinese Empire had the most powerful army in the world and the world's first air force, but the navy was the weakness of the Chinese Empire, with the British and French navies both having more than half a million warships, and the Chinese Empire's navy was less than one-tenth of theirs.

The Chinese Empire is a country with a wide coastline, and the Chinese Empire must have a navy sufficient to protect its own coastline, but the strength of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire is too weak, and the Chinese Empire must attach importance to the development of the navy, so Yan Xueyi set the first inspection object of this year as the two major naval fleets of the Chinese Empire: the Pacific Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet.

Moreover, if the Chinese Empire wants to develop its navy, it must pay attention to the development of its own shipbuilding industry, if the shipbuilding industry cannot develop, then how to build powerful warships and develop the navy of the Chinese Empire?

Therefore, after Yan Xueyi inspected the two major naval fleets of the empire, he would also inspect the major shipyards in China.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th day of the first lunar month, Yan Xueyi and his wife Chang Yuxin boarded the Royal No. 1 airship at the Yuanhe City Air Force Base and headed for Hong Kong, which is 1,400 kilometers away from Yuanhe City.

At this time, the South China Sea Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire was docked at the Hong Kong Dock, and Hong Kong will be the main base of the South China Sea Fleet in the future.

A special Kunpeng-8 heavy airship slowly rose from the Yuanhe City Air Force Base, and there were already three Kunpeng-7 medium-sized airships waiting for its arrival in the sky.

This particular Kunpeng-8 heavy airship, named the Royal One, was produced from the airship factory only a month ago and was dedicated to serving the imperial family of the Chinese Empire.

It is said that this airship is special because this Kunpeng-8 heavy airship was designed and manufactured, and its purpose was determined, and it would not perform bombing missions or large-scale load tasks, mainly because Emperor Yan Xueyi would take it when he went out to inspect, so the most important thing for the Royal No. 1 is its safety, and under the condition of ensuring its safety, the speed and comfort of the Royal No. 1 should be improved as much as possible.

The exterior of the huge Royal No. 1 airship is mainly painted purple, and on both sides of the airship are two dancing five-clawed golden dragons, which are actually a symbol of the Chinese Empire, and now the national flag of the Chinese Empire has changed from the original iron-blooded Han flag of the Han Kingdom era to the purple gold dragon flag: the whole flag is purple, and there is a hovering five-clawed golden dragon on it.

The interior of the Royal One airship is luxuriously decorated, with rooms for various purposes, multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, dining rooms, games rooms, smoking rooms, etc., and even a dedicated medical room, where most unexpected situations can be solved.

If there is no war and other factors, there will be many people rushing to buy the Royal No. 1 airship after it appears in this world, such as the British royal (royal) family, the German royal family, the Russian royal family and other royal families, I am afraid they all want to have such an airship.

Now the Chinese Empire's airship production is limited, and the airship technology is still a strictly secret technology, and after Britain and France and other countries have developed similar airship technology, the Chinese Empire's airship production may also come up, and then the Chinese Empire can sell airships to the outside world, and I believe that many countries and individuals will buy them.

The state buys airships mainly for military purposes, whether it is for transport missions or bombing missions, large airships are needed.

Personally, it is different, for some wealthy people, the Kunpeng-6 light airship, the smallest in the Chinese Empire, is also very expensive, and they don't need such a big airship, they just want an ultra-small airship with a load of only one or two tons and a flight distance of only two or three thousand kilometers, or a private airship.

The big airship can be made in the Chinese Empire, not to mention the ultra-small airship, as long as someone wants to buy an airship, any type of airship can be made, provided that you have money, you have to wait for a certain amount of time to wait for the airship to be manufactured.

Like the private jets of later generations, private airships are also a status symbol, the royal families of various countries can have private airships, those rich people can also have private airships, and ordinary people can only look up to them.

……

When the Royal 1 airship flew into the air, the other three Kunpeng-7 medium-sized airships quickly moved to the side of the Royal 1 and escorted the Royal 1.

These three Kunpeng-7 medium airships are not ordinary airships, they are not transport airships, nor bombing airships, but armed airships.

Bombs can also be dropped by airships, but compared to bombing airships, they are equipped with heavy machine guns and artillery, which can be used to attack airship targets in the sky and stationary targets on the ground.

Everything was ready, and the formation of the Royal No. 1 airship and three armed airships flew in a straight line from Yuanhe City to Hong Kong at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

The departure time is 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the airship will arrive in Hong Kong after 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Airships are different from trains, the train technology of this era is not too good, you need to endure great torture in the train, noise, violent vibration, etc., an adult takes a long-distance train, the body will also be a little unbearable, if Yan Xueyi and Chang Yuxin take the train to Hong Kong, the physical fitness of the two is far beyond ordinary people, but there is not much problem, but the entourage of the two can suffer, except for Mu Xue, the others may have to rest for half a day to recover the level before the train.

However, the airship is flying high in the sky, except for a little bump when taking off and landing, the rest of the time is to fly smoothly in the sky, the airship does not feel any shaking, as if walking on the ground, at night, you can rest on the bed in the bedroom, there will be no discomfort.

After getting off the airship, the people who are recuperating on the airship can directly move on to the next step.
