[It seems that it is the end of the month, and the children's shoes with the monthly pass in your hand, please smash them to Hengyi]

"Alas, you can't underestimate the wisdom of the white race, without Zeppelin, and now there is another Barrett!" Yan Xueyi looked at a confidential document sent by the Ministry of Intelligence and said with a sigh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Germany's Zeppelin was supposed to be the first person in the West to build a hard airship, but at this time it is not known whether it should be in heaven or hell.

Under the basic condition that the material technology of the airship has not developed to a certain situation, if you want to build a large airship with a heavy load, you can only use the hard airship construction method, and the soft airship is not good, and the Western countries have been plunged into the pit of the soft airship for almost four years.

Yan Xueyi thought that without Zeppelin, it would slow down the appearance of hard airships in Western countries, but he didn't expect that without Zeppelin, other people would appear, and the hard airships of Western countries would rise into the sky without many times.

However, the Chinese Empire will not allow Barrett to successfully build a hard airship, and there is no need for Yan Xueyi to give an order, the Ministry of Intelligence has begun to deal with this matter, delaying the birth of the hard airship as much as possible.

……

In order to deal with the airship deterrence of the Chinese Empire, Western countries invested a lot of money in the research and development of airship technology, which led to the rise of the airship industry, and more businessmen subsequently joined the carnival in a vain attempt to get a piece of the pie.

In London, England, there was a mechanic named Barrett, when the British airship industry rose, Barrett saw this as a good opportunity to make a fortune, and also wanted to enter the airship industry.

Barrett is not a businessman and does not have much money to invest in the airship industry, but Barrett has enough wisdom, Barrett studied the airships built by his predecessors, and soon designed his own airship, and then wrote a complete airship design plan, Barrett began to look for businessmen to invest in his plan.

Western businessmen are not idiots, they are easily deceived by others, such people can't be businessmen, businessmen hire experts and scholars to deduce Barrett's airship design scheme, and it turns out that this airship design scheme can build a more advanced airship in Western countries, so some businessmen come up with funds to invest in Barritt.

Barrett built a company named after him, the Barrett Airship Factory, and without much money himself, he received a large amount of money, and Barrett could use a small part of the money to improve his life, and most of the rest was used for the construction of the airship.

Barrity's talent for airships was so high that he soon built the first airship, and in the process of building the first airship, Barrett also fell in love with building airships, and decided to calm down and study airships as his life's work.

When the first airship was built, Barrett did not rush to design the second airship, but thought deeply, because Barrett found that the soft airship with only one large bag had too many limitations.

A month later, Barrett had in mind a type of airship that would use a complete keel to maintain the shape of an airbag, which would be a rigid airship in which the size of a rigid airship would be much larger than that of a soft airship, and the load of the rigid airship would be increased accordingly.

A design plan for a hard airship will soon come out, but the cost of this airship will be more expensive, with the existing funds in Barrett's hands is not enough to support it, after Barrett informed the investment businessman, the investment businessman was also stunned by Barrett's strange idea, if this airship can really be successful, then it will be the most advanced airship in Western countries, as an investment businessman, he will also get a huge report, so the investment businessman hesitated a little, and then invested money in the Barit airship manufacturing plant, Support Barrett in building this hard airship.

Hard airships are more difficult to build than soft airships, but under Barritt's leadership, the first hard airships are being built little by little.

The airship industry in Western countries is the key object of observation of the Ministry of Intelligence of the Chinese Empire, and the power of the Ministry of Intelligence has infiltrated not only the state-level airship research institutes, but also the civilian airship factories, so it is necessary to ensure the overall supervision of the airship industry in Western countries.

The peripheral personnel of the Ministry of Intelligence bribed a worker of the Barrett airship factory, and knew the internal situation of the Barrett airship factory, so they conveyed it to their superiors, and the peripheral personnel did not know about the hard airship, but his superiors understood it, and immediately took the Barrett airship factory as a key object of observation, and finally the information of the Barrett airship factory was sent to Wang Muwu, the head of the British branch of the Ministry of Intelligence, and Wang Muwu directly ordered: destroy the Barrett airship factory!

The destruction of the Barrett airship factory is also a technical task, and it cannot be done too obviously, otherwise the British government will notice the importance of the hard airship and begin to vigorously develop the hard airship, then the intelligence department will destroy the Barrett airship factory in vain.

The best way to destroy the Barrett airship factory is an accidental fire that burns down the entire Barrett airship factory, and even Barrett will accidentally die in the fire.

The cause of the fire was very simple, it was a leak of hydrogen from the Barit Airship Factory's own reserves, which suddenly exploded, causing a fire and finally burning the Barit Airship Factory.

Hydrogen is an essential part of all airship factories, and in order for an airship to fly into the sky, it must be filled with hydrogen into the airship airbag, and even though hydrogen is dangerous, most airship factories store hydrogen. (Uh, probably not reasonable, so be it)

There are two types of gases suitable for airship airbags, one is hydrogen with a higher degree of danger, and the other is helium, a safe gas.

At present, only the Chinese Empire and the United States can provide a large amount of helium, and the price of helium is much higher than that of hydrogen, so most of the airships manufactured by Western countries use low-priced, simple hydrogen, which gives the Ministry of Intelligence an opportunity.

In August of the fourth year of Xinghua (1892), the Barrett airship factory located in the suburbs of London, England, a hydrogen leak occurred in the hydrogen storage tank in the factory, resulting in a large explosion, which further caused a fire, and the Barrett airship factory was burned, and Barrett was also killed in the fire, and the fire could be seen in the distance in the center of London.

The accident at the Barrett airship factory has attracted the attention of the whole world, and now there are a large number of airship factories in various countries, and the airship factories basically have hydrogen reserves in them, which represents a great danger, and the next Barrett airship factory may appear at any time.

The Barrett airship incident led countries to quickly issue a decree that the airship factory was not allowed to store hydrogen on its premises, but instead to find a safe and uninhabited area for storage.

Of course, it is better to switch hydrogen to helium, but helium is more expensive and most businessmen will not choose helium.

As time passed, the Barrett airship factory was forgotten, but there were two people who had not, one was Barrett's son Barrett Jr., and an investment businessman who gave Barrett financial support.

Barrett Jr. wanted to fulfill his father's wishes, and with the support of investment businessmen, the Barrett airship factory was rebuilt and more focused on safety.
