Chapter 8 The airship is 100 feet high
Mei Changkong brought the group to the foot of the airship, and Li Er leaned his neck and looked at this thing carefully, "Commander Mei, this thing must be fifty meters long, right?" β
Mei Changkong gave Li two thumbs up, "Your Majesty has good eyesight, this airship is forty-five meters long, eight meters high, five meters wide, with a curb weight of 5,000 catties and a load capacity of 1,000 catties, and this thing can fly, but it is relatively slow, and it is only thirty or fifty miles in an hour."
Li Er was taken aback when he heard the data of this thing, "Thirty or fifty miles, not bad, at least it flies in the sky, and it is seventy or eighty miles farther than the ground."
When he arrived at the door, Mei Changkong didn't expect Li Er to know this, "Your Majesty really has unparalleled insight, it is true"
Li Er's face was proud, his body shook and looked at his subordinates, and he harvested a bunch of sycophants, "By the way, how about the yield of this thing, how many have you made now?" β
"This......go back to Your Majesty, because of this experiment, we haven't done much, but if Your Majesty is in a hurry and is willing to give funds, I can buy materials from Uncle Shi's internal price, but there are not enough craftsmen"
Li Er waved his hand, "I'll solve this matter with you"
Mei Changkong was excited at that time, "Then the output will be no problem"
The hawker is distressed, this baby is really willing to pit me, can the internal price be used in such a large amount? You must know that a blimp has to be skinned with good fabric, the support needs aluminum alloy, and it has to be aviation aluminum, this thing is now sold cheaper than silver, not to mention the power system, think about the hawker's distressed pumping!
Li Ercai doesn't care about this set, "Okay, then I don't have any other requirements, you should hurry up and strive to get a hundred and ten crosses before March next year."
Mei Changkong was embarrassed, "Your Majesty, you can't get so much"
Li Er also knew that he was a little more demanding, "Then you do your best, let's not talk about this yet, you take me up to feel the charm of the airship"
The group hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty's golden body, don't take risks"
Li Er waved his hand, "It's okay, I know how long I can live"
The hawker pouted, "It's not a matter of killing yourself"
Li Er pointed at the hawker with his hand, "You, follow along"
"I'll Go"
"Looks like you agreed"
In the end, the hawker was dragged onto the airship by Li Ersheng, Mei Changkong was accompanied, and a few people who liked to be lively also followed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Standing in the pod the size of a house in the airship, Li Er looked at the facilities in it curiously, and the vendor was also curious about how these guys controlled this thing, you must know that although Mei Changkong has been with him for so long, Mei Changkong is also at the level of graduating from elementary school, and high-tech black technology can't be done.
Sure enough, under Mei Changkong's introduction, everyone learned that Mei Changkong used the previous hot air balloon in addition to the altimeter, as for the control system, well, there is a very high saying "wire control", everything is manually solved in the cockpit by pulling the cable, including refueling steering up and down or something.
The vendor patted Mei Changkong's shoulder, "The head melon is very smart"
Mei Changkong grinned, "Isn't this forced to do nothing?"
Li Er interrupted the two, "Don't talk about this, hurry up and let me feel it"
After Mei Changkong saluted, he shouted to the soldiers in the cockpit, "Lift into the air, target Chang'an City"
Li Er nodded with satisfaction, "It's just right, I'll just take this thing back, and tell the driver below to drive the car back and wait for me in Chang'an City."
The airship slowly rose into the air, fortunately, the weather was good today, there was no air flow or whirlwind or anything, it was very stable, Li Er was curious to lie on the glass of the pod and looked at the surrounding blue sky and white clouds, as well as the ant-sized crowd below, and suddenly said "Ah....."
After a long time, Li Er scratched his head, "My train of thought was broken all of a sudden, Dabao, you come to a poem to help the fun"
A few other naΓ―ve and bold people looked at the hawkers funny, who didn't know that the national teacher was famous for not learning and not knowing, and they were all waiting to see the jokes!
The hawker pointed at the two middle fingers, today the master let you see what a generation of poets is, pretending to take two steps, the hawker blurted out "The airship is 100 feet high, you can pick the stars with your hands, you don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the people in the sky"
After the hawker "memorized" a poem, the group was stupid, this product has connotation, hey, Li Er was also a little surprised, "Hey, the national teacher has improved."
The hawker puffed up his chest, "That's, our guan is not closed for nothing"
Li Er nodded, "Well, a child is closed"
Hawkers "won't chat"
Everyone laughed, and the airship flew slowly all the way to the sky over Chang'an, and the sharp-eyed ones had already discovered such a thing, "Look, what is that in the sky?" β
"Where?"
"That"
"Hey, I'm a good girl, it's a big ball of marshmallows"
Then the airship flew in the direction of the palace, and the altitude continued to decrease, and the curious people chased after it, "I went, I saw it, the sign of the eagle was painted, it is estimated that they have made some good things upside down"
"It's a must, our Datang's Eagle Yangwei is the only one in the sky, this has been held back for several years and hasn't made a good fuss, and it should be time."
"Yes, yes, that's the reason"
The people had different opinions, and there was a mess in the palace, and the guards were startled at first when they saw this big guy falling in the direction of the palace, but after seeing the sign of the Eagle Yangwei, they were relieved.
Waiting for the airship to find a place to land in the palace, the Ouchi guards helped pull the rope on it, and when it stopped, the hawker jumped down first, and then helped Li Er to come down, and after waiting for someone to get down, Li Er encouraged Mei Changkong and other soldiers to encourage everyone to sweat for the strength of the Tang Dynasty!
Because the airship was going back to be overhauled, Mei Changkong then took off and turned back, Li Er played around and finally got better, "Okay, everyone has seen the things, now you can rest assured about fighting Tubo, hurry up and go back and prepare."
Everyone retreated, the hawker also withdrew, there were still children to take care of at home, Li Er did not stay, on the way back, the hawker met Su Ming who was riding a motorcycle on the street.
"Didn't you kid follow Mei Changkong to make an airship, why didn't I see you when I went to Eagle Yangwei today?"
Su Ming saw that it was a hawker, and there was a look of surprise on his face, "Uncle Shi, I was about to look for you, I have a happy event to tell you."
"Oh, what's good?"
Su Ming turned the motorcycle around, "Uncle Shi will come with me", the vendor was also very curious about what could be made of this product, and followed Su Ming all the way to the Ministry of Industry.
When he arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Su Ming didn't wait for the hawker's car to stop, grabbed the hawker's arm and rushed in, and the hawker was dragged and stumbled, "Slow, slow, dragged off"
As if he hadn't heard, Su Ming dragged the vendor all the way to the back of the shed, stopped, and excitedly pointed to a big iron lump in the middle of the yard that was not much smaller than a small bread, "Uncle Shi, look, I got the diesel engine"
The peddler was so frightened that he almost suffocated to death in one breath, "What do you say this thing is?" β
Su Ming still didn't notice the peddler's abnormality, "Diesel engine, uncle, we finally made a diesel engine"
The peddler covered his mouth and said, "Let's not talk about its size, I'll just ask if this thing can work?" β
Su Ming said proudly, "That's a must, you wait, I'll get it for you" After speaking, Su Ming called a dozen helpers, connected the oil pipe, refueled, and then took out a big rocker with a length of more than one meter, and several people shouted "Hey.." Scold... Hey... Heh....Tututu...."
In the unbelievable expression on the peddler's face, the big diesel engine in front of him really began to run, the half-human-high flywheel rotated rapidly, and the four exhaust holes without sound suppression directly discharged the exhaust gas, the sound was deafening, although noisy, but it was so powerful in a crowd.
Looking at Su Ming's expectant face, the hawker hammered him on the chest a few times, "Awesome, tell me where you plan to use this thing?" Su Ming's face collapsed at that time, "I haven't thought about it yet" (to be continued.) )
