Chapter 391: Airplanes

In late July of the 14th year of Xinghua, a small regional newspaper from Ningyuan City, Siqi Province published a "small matter" that happened there, and then newspapers all over the country published this "small matter" one after another, making this "small matter" a "big thing" that became popular all over the country, and even attracted the attention of foreigners.

There are two protagonists in the newspaper news, one is Zhao Yongfeng, a young man who is only 21 years old, and the other is Zhao Yongfeng's improvised airplane.

Zhao Yongfeng's family was a landlord's family, and later the land was forced to sell to the government, Zhao Yongfeng's father Zhao Xinglian took the money and cooperated with the Yan firm at that time to establish two factories, although Zhao Xinglian is not very good at doing business, but with the development of the country, Zhao Xinglian's factory is also expanding, and now the Zhao family's property has exceeded 3 million Chinese dollars, and he is a well-known rich man in Ningyuan City, and even Zhao Xinglian also took out Chinese dollars and donated a lord to become an honorary nobleman.

Zhao Xinglian attaches great importance to the education of future generations, and now it is convenient for children and teenagers to receive education, Zhao Yongfeng has been from primary school to middle school and then to Yuanhe Imperial University, Zhao Yongfeng, who graduated from university, can also be said to be a senior intellectual, and is a scarce talent in the empire, countless businessmen want to hire such talents with high salaries, but Zhao Yongfeng's family is now also a businessman's family, and Zhao Yongfeng will not work for others.

After graduating from university and returning to his hometown, Zhao Yongfeng did not work in his own factory, but instead built a small workshop by himself and tinkered with a new gadget - flying machines.

Zhao Xinglian is not only Zhao Yongfeng's son, Zhao Yongfeng is only Zhao Xinglian's third son, and even if he can inherit it, he will not inherit much family property.

Although Zhao Xinglian didn't know how to do business, Zhao Xinglian was very interested in the flying machine that his son was tinkering with, and after listening to Zhao Yongfeng's explanation, Zhao Xinglian took out a sum of money to Zhao Yongfeng.

After receiving funding from his father, Zhao Yongfeng made flying machines faster, and even recruited a few workers as assistants.

When he was in school, Zhao Yongfeng was very envious when he saw the airship flying in the sky, and thought to himself when he could have such an airship flying into the blue sky.

After the Chinese Empire put the airship into civilian use, Zhao Yongfeng was able to fly into the sky, but Zhao Yongfeng wanted to get a airship of his own, but the airship was too expensive, in the Chinese Empire, there were not many people who could buy a flyboat, but this definitely did not include the Zhao family, so Zhao Yongfeng thought about creating a cheap flying machine.

Zhao Yongfeng's academic performance was very good, and he was admitted to Yuanhe Imperial University, and Zhao Yongfeng entered the Department of Mechanical Engineering in order to realize his ideas.

Zhao Yongfeng studied in the university for four years (the university system increased), and usually liked to go to the library and read a lot of materials, and then Zhao Yongfeng sketched a winged flying machine in his mind, Zhao Yongfeng believes that this kind of winged, simple structure, cheap aircraft will be very popular if it is manufactured.

After graduating from college, Zhao Yongfeng returned to his hometown and used his remaining pocket money to start building a real flying machine, and then because of the funds given by Zhao Xinglian, the construction speed of the aircraft accelerated.

The structure of Zhao Yongfeng's aircraft is very simple, mainly a large number of wood or steel frames, the core power system, the most expensive part of the aircraft is the power system, and the power system is mainly the car engine that Zhao Yongfeng bought.

After a year and a half, Zhao Yongfeng went through hundreds of experiments and finally built an aircraft with a flight time of 15 minutes, a flight distance of more than 20 kilometers, and a flight altitude of up to 30 meters.

Airplane, short for flying machine.

In fact, Zhao Yongfeng built an aircraft that could fly a few tens of meters for a short time in the first half of the year, but Zhao Yongfeng thought that such an aircraft was still far from the aircraft in his mind, and it was only a year later that the world-famous "Black Eagle" aircraft was built. (Zhao Yongfeng used the name of the Raptor to name his plane)

The appearance of the Black Hawk aircraft surprised the Chinese people, and they knew that in addition to the airship, there is also a thing that can take people into the sky, and compared with the airship, the plane can bring more excitement to people.

Zhao Yongfeng became famous, and countless businessmen came to Ningyuan City and wanted to cooperate with Zhao Yongfeng.

After all, the Zhao family is also a wealthy family, and Zhao's father took out a sum of money to Zhao Yongfeng, and the "Yongfeng Aircraft Factory" was officially established.

After the establishment of Yongfeng Aircraft Factory, Zhao Yongfeng was not busy selling aircraft, Zhao Yongfeng knew that the Black Hawk aircraft also had a lot of imperfections, and the safety was average, Zhao Yongfeng wanted to make better aircraft before it was sold to the outside world, and for Zhao Yongfeng, it was only a matter of time before he could make a better aircraft.

As long as there are no accidents, Zhao Yongfeng's future assets will be many times more than his father's, and even because of other relationships, Yan Xueyi will also knight Zhao Yongfeng, making Zhao Yongfeng a nobleman.

Since the aircraft was born in the hands of Zhao Yongfeng, Yan Xueyi did not order it to organize and let it develop naturally, and at the same time secretly promoted the aircraft industry, such as establishing flying clubs and the like, so that more people could learn to fly airplanes, and when the Chinese Empire went to war with foreign countries, a large number of pilots could use it.

Over the years, what happened in the Chinese Empire has made the world's major powers pay attention to the Chinese Empire, although Britain is proud to believe that Britain is still the world's boss, but Britain has put the Chinese Empire in the same position as Germany and the United States, and even Britain's relationship with the Chinese Empire is slowly improving, and Britain does not want to deal with the Chinese Empire while facing such an ambitious opponent as Germany.

Britain thinks so highly of the Chinese Empire, let alone other countries.

At the beginning, the major powers developed airships one after another because of the airship deterrence of the Chinese Empire, but they did not stop studying other aspects of the aircraft, and even the French successfully tested a steam-powered aircraft in the second year of Xinghua, but no matter how much steam power was studied, nothing could be studied.

Other countries have also conducted research on similar aircraft, especially the Wright brothers of the United States, which have been conducting research on airplanes and have built many gliders for flight experiments, but the Wright brothers' planes are too far away from Zhao Yongfeng's Black Hawk plane, and it will take at least a few years to catch up.

The appearance of Zhao Yongfeng's Black Hawk aircraft has made the world pay more and more attention to the cheap aircraft of the aircraft, but at present, the aircraft technology is too weak, and no country has thought of using the aircraft for military purposes, and is still crazy to build airships, wanting to form a huge air fleet to protect the safety of their own country's sky.
