Chapter 305: Practicality is the Last Word!
There were nearly 10,000 ancient giant mosquitoes, still hovering around the base of the coal army stationed in Japan, buzzing, and all the nearby humans and soldiers of the coal army locked their doors and windows, not daring to come out.
The two sides were also unharmed, except that there were no casualties.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around in the night, Zhu Zilong took the helicopter gunship, put it into a few cubic meters of space in his Dragon Ball, and took some weapons and ammunition. Soon jumped into the sea and ran away again.
At dawn, the people and soldiers of the Coal Army were surprised to see that most of the giant mosquitoes seemed to have left. Where exactly it went, no one knew it for the first time!
After all, mosquitoes can fly, and in the case of ultra-low altitude and night, radar and satellites cannot detect it.
So the next day, the major newspapers and the Internet wrote about this strange thing again.
I don't know what kind of mentality, after the incident broke out, the coal army suddenly demanded that domestic reporters not be allowed to report on it. People all over the world can only learn a series of incomplete news from some gossip newspapers and other newspapers.
However, there is one thing that everyone knows.
That is, on the same day, the warships of the Coal Army drove into the vicinity, and in the name of Japan, military exercises.
And it's also called the little brother Ri Ben to carry out it with the other little brothers!
People with a heart began to report continuously, and a large number of coal soldiers began to appear on the nearby major islands, as if they were looking for something.
At the same time, a number of countries have also arranged for special forces soldiers to participate in it, showing a competitive posture with coal army soldiers.
Reminiscent of the dinosaur incident that happened before.
For a time, many coastal people in various countries who were not afraid of death drove fishing boats to participate in it again, which really cost money rather than death.
And it is unbelievable that there are many tourists from many countries who come to the Asian coast regardless of the danger, and it seems that this is a kind of project to use this as a tourist destination.
It's completely an adventurous posture, and it's also drunk!
Of course, all this has little to do with Zhu Zilong, who has sneaked back to Nanjing and finished handling the factory matters.
"What about Xiao He?"
After listening to the reports of various professional managers and the work reports of the cadres of various factories, Zhu Zilong unexpectedly found afterwards that Xiao He, a very capable assistant who used to show his face often, was not there?
The other two beautiful secretaries Xue'er and Liu Meili, who often showed their faces in front of Zhu Zilong, smiled helplessly and bitterly after hearing Zhu Zilong's inquiry.
Under Zhu Zilong's continued inquiry, Xiao He's situation was finally clear.
It turns out that Xiao He is still an outdoor enthusiast in his spare time.
And it's not an ordinary outdoor sport, it's a hot air balloon sport. As early as not long after Zhu Zilong's last return to the Ming Dynasty, about three months ago, Xiao He and his fellow travelers participated in another event.
As a result, when he landed, there was a small accident, and Xiao He's leg was fractured.
However, calculating the time, after a hundred days of injuries, Xiao He can almost be discharged from the hospital, that is, in the past few days.
Zhu Zilong had a good impression of Xiao He, so he deliberately went to Nanjing People's Hospital and visited him.
In the hospital, Zhu Zilong comforted Xiao He a little bit, and then everyone is young, and they will have some common topics when chatting or something. I accidentally talked about outdoor sports in the sky!
With Xiao He's familiar hobbies, he came to an energetic introduction, and Zhu Zilong seemed to have something in his head, and the card rang.
Cheerful!
Yes, when I traveled back to modern times, I fell into the coal army base, and I was moved when I saw the plane, and I thought that it would be really cool for Daming to have an air force on his side. Sky supremacy is king!
So, in a hurry, he stole a gunship and came back.
Now that I think about it, I can only have fun for a while. If you want to use the Ming Air Force after that achievement, it is completely to pull out the seedlings to help grow, which is basically unrealistic. Airplanes or something, for the ancient people over there, it was too high-tech.
They can't play at all, and they don't feel at ease!
But it's not necessarily just airplanes that can go to the sky?
For example, the hot air balloon that Xiao He is introducing now is very good!
Simple, easy to learn, easy to operate, low cost, not military supplies, in the modern 21st century can be easily purchased in various types. Even, after being placed in Daming, Daming's craftsmen are familiar with it, they can also imitate the copycat products.
Even if it is not as good as modern products, it is certain that it can go to heaven!
It is also convenient to repair, it is simply a royal weapon for traveling, killing people and destroying mouths, and dominating the sky. Later, in the Ming Dynasty, the battle line was lengthened, and it was obviously too busy to rely on a giant eagle brother to do aerial reconnaissance!
Not only that, but there are also reasonable excuses to explain it to the people of the Ming Dynasty. It's okay to say that this is an improved item of Zhuge Kongming's lantern!
Kong Ming lantern is also called sky lantern, commonly known as wishing lantern, also known as prayer lantern.
Legend has it that in the fifth dynasty (907~960 AD), there was a woman named Xin Qi Niang, when she was fighting with her husband in Fujian, she used to tie bamboo strips into a square frame, paste paper, make a headlight, and place burning pine resin on the chassis, and the lamp flew into the sky by hot air to use as a military liaison signal. This kind of pine resin lamp is called Kong Ming lamp in Sichuan. The shape of this lantern resembles the hat worn by Zhuge Liang, hence the name.
Another theory is that it is said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms. Back then, Zhuge Liang was besieged in Pingyang and could not send troops out of the city for help. Kong Ming calculated the direction of the wind, made a floating paper lantern, tied a message for help, and escaped from danger as a result, so later generations called this kind of lantern Kong Ming lantern.
The people of the Ming Dynasty knew such a thing and its story, and there was absolutely no psychological pressure to accept it, and they would not be shocked.
The principle of hot air balloons is basically similar to that of Kong Ming lanterns, both of which use hot air and airflow.
Zhu Zilong, who was greatly moved, immediately chatted with Xiao He more about the practicality, combat, and logistics of the hot air balloon. While the friendship between the two sides was improving, Zhu Zilong also got a lot of information and books on this subject.
Even where can I buy a hot air balloon in Nanjing, how much does it cost, precautions and so on. Xiao He, as a senior traveler, is the head of the road!
In developed countries such as Europe and the United States in the modern 21st century, there are hot air balloon races or activities almost every day. Since the moment the hot air balloon landed in China, it has attracted special attention from people from all walks of life.
At present, the seven-type hot air balloon is commonly used in China, with a maximum diameter of 17 meters, a height of 23 meters, a volume of about 2,180 cubic meters, and a maximum flight altitude of about 7,000 meters. However, the usual flight is generally no more than 1000 meters, because more than 4000 meters you have to carry oxygen!
To participate in professional competitions, even if it is a hot air balloon, you need a driver's license. However, for amateur masters who do not participate, such as Xiao He, it doesn't matter. Private purchases are no problem!
As long as you think you're skilled and well-equipped, you're okay if you travel the world.
For example, in 2002, American millionaire and adventurer Steve Fawcett completed a round-the-world trip, becoming the first person in the world to complete a solo round-the-world trip in a hot air balloon.
On January 29, 2015, Double Eagle helium balloon pilots Troy Bradley and Leonid Tiukhtyaev sailed across the Pacific Ocean, surpassing the longest manned flight of 5,209 miles (8,383 kilometers).
8,465 kilometers in 6 days, an average of more than 1,000 kilometers a day, and an average flight speed of more than 100 miles per hour. People are not tired, take turns to control the direction of flight, and everyone else can rest and sleep!
It's already very good, safe, environmentally friendly, simple, easy to operate, and the speed has the average speed of a car at high speed kilometers. If this is placed in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, it is appropriate to go against the sky!
Compared with armed helicopters, the Ming Dynasty people can also fly, and practicality is the last word! -
