The aircraft shown by Qin Kai that day is obviously still a very embryonic aircraft, and it only uses the 6-cylinder water-cooled engine used by the First Automobile Factory of Mawei Heavy Industry, of course, this is already the largest power internal combustion engine that can be taken out in the Mawei real yàn room today, and there is still a great distance from the liquid-cooled engine of the real aviation era, but this kind of 7o kg motive has been able to output 15 horsepower of strong power. \\

If it is installed on a Beijing brand car that is now expanding production, it can easily propel the car to 4o kilometers per hour, and when Daim was poached Matail, his four-stroke internal combustion engine made less than 2 horsepower, and today's progress is entirely based on Mawei's own technical research.

However, the day of the plane lifted off the shock at the same time, but also exposed the prototype of the aircraft many problems, although the power is quite advantageous, but the entire altitude of the rise is only more than ten meters, the first plane flew less than 4o seconds, the second plane also only lifted off for 1 minute, it lost power and landed, among which also broke one, but this is already the moment of the beginning of history!

Qin Kai then carried out an impassioned mobilization, the original research team and the 311 real yàn room merged, the new aircraft research and development room has the special right to direct the bidding of components, and the prime minister's office for this special allocation of 5o yuan of funds, for the purchase of related equipment, parts purchase, at the same time he made it very clear that the 311 real yàn room is directly under the Ministry of Industry, directly managed by Xu Jianyin.

A little later, in front of the large phalanx of nearly 1,000 soldiers of the 6th Army, Qin Kai awarded the first bronze medal of the flying eagle to the two captains of the original airship unit who carried out the test flight mission that day. Before leaving. He didn't forget to propose a parachute to Xu Jianyin. It's not that difficult, but if it can save a pilot, it's worth a lot.

For the difficulties and cycles of aircraft research, Qin Kai naturally has full mental preparation, China's airship is now the world's most powerful air force, although many countries, including Germany, have purchased airships from China, but that big guy is just a transitional product. If there is no breakthrough in the power of the aircraft, it is impossible for the aircraft to be put into use in the real sense.

Qin Kai is also roughly deducing from the historical number jù, at least 6o to 1oo horsepower internal combustion engine, in order to promote the real sense of practical aircraft, as for the real mass production, I am afraid to have to wait until the development of high-power liquid cooling motor is successful, as for the V-type multi-cylinder engine, at least Qin Kai has not thought about it at present, that involves a lot of fine industry and transmission technology, not a simple drawing can be manufactured. On the other hand, it is ready-made technologies such as fairings and high-octane fuel, which can be tried when a breakthrough in power is made.

Huang Risheng, who was selected as the chief engineer after layers of selection. It is a young generation of engineers from the Mawei real yàn room, who participated in the research of the Tianzhou series of airships, and has in-depth research on the internal combustion engine power that drives the airships, and more importantly, this group of young engineers fully reflects the innovation and diligence of Chinese in research.

The new generation of Tianzhou V-type airship designed and built by Huang Risheng's group, the length of the airship has reached 7o meters, and it can carry 7 tons of materials, and it is close to 3o knots, however, after seeing the prototype of these two simple aircraft, he was immediately attracted by this kind of machine driven and brought lift-off power, and Premier Qin was very natural and relieved to play the role of his hand-shaken shopkeeper. I don't have to give a little reminder from time to time.

At the beginning of August, Shen Shouchang brought good news from Colombia, although the Panama Canal is still slowly advancing, but between the maritime threat from the United States earlier, the Colombian government is also interested in building a navy under the lobbying of this one. After Mali settled a naval account, this immediately became an opponent of the construction of the Colombian navy.

Although Colombia in this era is also a democratically elected system, but after independence from the colonial revolution, the country's economy has completely fallen into a downturn, and the entire Colombia land resources are not rich, and it can even be said that it is scarce, and the local agricultural trade is also at the bottom of the surrounding American countries, Shen Shouchang got the news that the annual military budget of the entire Colombia is less than 3oo yuan, but Colombia is a country with a lot of miscellaneous troops, with an army of nearly 150,000, and this military expenditure is almost the same. What kind of money-burning navy are you playing!

However, Shen Shouchang was very generous in offering Colombia a compromise plan, China could transfer a few old warships to the Colombian Navy, which is almost all scrapped gunboats, and then form a Sino-Colombian joint fleet with China's South American detachment to be responsible for coastal security on the west coast of Colombia.

Shen Shouchang naturally did not agree to pay the bill on the issue of military spending, which President Tania was very concerned about, but put forward a plan for investment and operation, and this handsome hand circled a large piece of land under Panama, and then proposed to President Tania that the two countries should jointly explore the minerals in this area, and then jointly operate in the form of Chinese capital injection, depending on the output, the Colombian side will receive no less than 5o% of the income, and this income will be used to repay the corresponding military expenses to the Chinese side.

This proposal is naturally full of temptation for Colombia, Colombia has no self-help exploration or production capacity, and Qin Kai naturally knows that Colombia has a very large land, but in addition to oil and iron ore, it is difficult to get anything to get hold of, and the few small copper mines in Panama, if it were not for the canal, the Chinese side would not be too lazy to invest and operate.

Colombia's main export commodity, is still traditional coffee, as a well-known coffee producer, this is almost the backbone of Colombia's national economy, and another important commodity - emerald, although Colombia's emeralds are very famous, extremely high quality, rich in extremely expensive emerald gemstones, is definitely the world's top jewelry deposits...... It's just that, with Colombia's industrial capacity, the output is really not good.

Shen Shouchang's circle is naturally not easy to do, Qin Kai has long valued this land with a large number of shallow sea oil fields and the largest Dalyan emerald mining area in Colombia, and he has solved a lot of contradictions for the Colombians, now is the time for the Colombians to pay a little money, and this transaction is naturally very calculated, otherwise, at least 6o years later, Colombians can enjoy the dividends of the resources under this land.

Nowadays, the minerals in China's big 6 are completely protected by law, even if state-owned enterprises can be franchised, but they are also subject to the amount of mining and environmental protection laws, but in the surrounding new territories, mining is completely open to social capital, in the past seven years, these private capital has formed a production capacity that surprised Qin Kai.

Shen Shouchang won this big order, although he has to pay 5o% of the income to Colombia, but still has an extremely important strategic significance, local oil, coal, iron ore, will provide China to stand firm in South America, at the same time, it is also close to the Panama Canal, if the wind blows, with a huge manpower of the Chinese company, is obviously enough to affect the local balance of the force.

Qin Kai quickly approved Shen Shouchang's telegram, and at the same time authorized the preparation of the Panamanian consulate, so that Shen Shouchang assigned competent personnel to settle in, responsible for the preparation of Chinese immigrants, canals and joint mining companies, Panama has become the target of Beijing's current attention, 4o years of operation rights for China's exhibition is enough to give the greatest support, when the vast sea power across the Pacific China will easily spread its tentacles and trade network to the Americas and the other side of the Atlantic.

On August 21, the huge Chinese fleet, composed of 43 warships, supply ships, and merchant ships, sailed into German waters after visiting Canada, Iceland, Norway, and Denmark, and the German Navy received news in advance that it immediately sent a special fleet with the battleship Kaiser as the flagship, and the fleets of the two sides met west of the port of Hamburg.

Later, when the huge Chinese fleet sailed into the port of Hamburg, it received an unprecedentedly warm welcome, and more than 2ooo Chinese and nearly 10,000 Germans shouted loudly on the docks and almost all Hamburg reporters could not help but let out bursts of surprise in the face of the dense Chinese warships and their sides.
