Baotou, almost six or seven months did not come back, but the changes in Baotou are still very big, a new round of urbanization construction, especially in the case of Baotou urbanization and urbanization, Baotou's urban functions began to change, more as a scientific research base, research and development base, the headquarters of large enterprises in the storage zài, just 4 years, landmark buildings, from the previous 5 floors and 7 floors, gradually developed to 20 floors, 30 floors, and even 40 floors, more and more skyscrapers, The greater urban capacity and urban functions make everyone who comes to Baotou find that Baotou has changed dramatically.

It took 10 days to deal with the specific affairs of Baotou, Yang Yuanzhao combed Baotou's current family background, the entire northwest, including the whole of China, the most profitable industry, I am afraid it is still the original best industry, cotton textile, silk, tea and porcelain, these are China's very advantageous industries, and now after the upgrade of the machine, the output has increased greatly, and the quality has maintained a certain height, and their export volume has risen year after year. Cotton textile and silk fabric industry as the main light industry garment industry, last year's export volume as high as 8.1 billion US dollars, the northwest direct exports in which the share is not much, but in the whole industry, the highest profit part is the northwest mastery, high-end fabrics and clothing, the northwest occupies more than ninety percent, other industries are similar.

It is precisely because of its strong economic strength that the Northwest is relatively comfortable in many aspects, and last year's government revenue increased by 60% compared with 1911, and the investment in education increased by 60%. The already abundant educational resources suddenly became the richest. After two to three years of training, the teachers in the northwest have also begun to produce the first batch of qualified graduates. They flooded all parts of the northwestern provinces, and from 1908 onwards, the illiteracy rate was reduced, and in 1912 the fruits were harvested, and the illiteracy rate in the Baotou Special Administrative Region was reduced to 12%, and the illiteracy rate in the entire northwest was also reduced to 43%, compared with more than 9% before. Based on the total population of 250 million people in the northwest jurisdiction, it is equivalent to about 100 million people.

The 20th century is an era of rapid technological change, the fruitful results of the first industrial revolution, the rise of many powers, the second industrial revolution, brought more opportunities for renewal, the industrial revolution with electricity as the theme. Let the power no longer be billowing black smoke, the efficiency of electricity is higher, and the performance is more stable, but it requires a certain amount of knowledge to master. Later generations of historical facts, China missed this best opportunity, and today. With the efforts of Yang Yuanzhao, the northwest caught this tail.

Industrial layout. As early as 1908, it was laid. The total industrial volume of the Northwest has quietly surpassed many countries, and now it is quietly catching up with the world's top United States, and this qiē, the outside knows very little, in the absence of a unified investigation agency, when investigating the output value of various countries, the strength of each country is often the table, or the military strength, Baotou in the war with Russia, is considered to be a preliminary emergence, but it is not yet rising, and even just reached the status of Japan after the Sino-Japanese War, It took Japan 20 years, and even a huge amount of money, to reluctantly stand on that position after defeating Russia in the Russo-Japanese War.

The country's important weapon is extremely important for heavy industry, but it will take a long time before it can slowly play a role, and now what affects the entire northwest economy is the industrial base that has been laid out in the past.

After Yang Yuanzhao inspected the development of the entire Baotou economy, he did not stay in Baotou for the New Year, through 4 years, he did not have a Spring Festival is a comfortable past, he is like a clockwork machine, crazy non-stop forward forward and forward, this time he went

First Aviation Qì Factory.

The first aviation machine factory, located near Baotou, the future aircraft factory will be located in Xi'an, but the research center and test site, or placed in Baotou here, is mainly convenient for Yang Yuanzhao to guide the nearest engine manufacturing, even now, under the premise that a large number of engine engineers have emerged in the northwest, Yang Yuanzhao is also the most powerful engine engineer in the northwest, even when he went to Europe, the engine research and development team he led was also under his arrangement and guidance, Carry out technology research and development and production.

The first aviation machine factory in Baotou, belongs to is relatively mysterious, from the beginning of the establishment, is the secret research, ordinary high-horsepower gasoline engine and kerosene engine, has been successfully developed, on the ultralight aircraft, has been put into use, with a lightweight 125 horsepower engine, began to realize the possibility of flying, compared to the Wright brothers their ordinary car engine, has been quite good, speed and flight altitude has reached the ordinary aircraft Cheng dù, this is the first finalized product, The military specifically ordered 20 of them, which replaced the original hot air balloons for high-altitude reconnaissance.

Yang Yuanzhao from later generations understands very well, ultralight aircraft, at most, can only be called a toy, wooden aircraft, all-metal aircraft, is the mainstream in the future, compared to the gasoline engine and diesel engine that have been stabilized, the kerosene engine poured more energy into Yang Yuanzhao, the high-grade aviation kerosene, after the verification of the all-in-one machine, has been determined, the next is the development of the star engine, Yang Yuanzhao never used the standards of the First World War, the aircraft of the First World War, there is no combat capability at all, At least by the standards of World War II, then this engine power must reach at least 800 or even 900 horsepower.

The engine is the soul of any engine, whether it is a battleship, a tank, or an airplane, there is no high standard, a powerful engine, there is no performance at all, Yang Yuanzhao is a power engineer, he can participate in the engine of cars and ships, but the aero engine, but it is a completely untouched field, he at most, just put forward an idea, he is familiar with, is the concept of the star engine of later generations, and then it provides a large number of light materials and high-temperature resistant materials.

When Yang Yuanzhao went to Europe, the horsepower of the engine in Baotou only reached 350 horsepower, and for the time being, it can only guarantee 3 cylinders.

This time Yang Yuanzhao got the news, the star engine through the unremitting efforts of researchers, and finally made a breakthrough, Yang Yuanzhao left the information about the star engine, obtained the breakthrough research and development, the engine from 3 cylinders, jumped to 7 cylinders, the cylinder block was improved, the horsepower also jumped further, reaching 590 horsepower, such an engine, not as good as thousands of horsepower in later generations, but for the aircraft, it is enough, at least the engine that can enter the actual combat is almost formed.

During World War II, there is a very good, huge number of production, low cost aircraft, almost the first time into the field of vision, Yang Yuanzhao is very clear, the future development direction of the aircraft, must be an all-metal aircraft, but it does not mean that this wooden aircraft does not enter the stream, in the sky of metal aircraft, a British all-wooden aircraft, even surpassed the famous aircraft during World War II, respectively, into the bomber and fighter rankings, especially bombers, ranked second, Second only to the B52, which was in service for decades in the later period.

It is the famous mosquito bomber.

This aircraft, using the Merlin 12-cylinder "V" shaped engine, now the northwest can not reach, that is nearly a thousand horsepower engine, but the northwest through guò adjustment, especially after the twin engine, the power is acceptable, China's spruce has very little, but Paulownia is a lot, in terms of performance, Paulownia is even better than spruce, plus the all-in-one machine has produced a strong adhesive and surface strengthener, after the integrated molding of the wood board, not only the specific gravity is extremely light, In terms of hardness and other indicators, it has basically reached the standard.

The first prototype has already been produced, and after slight modifications, the next four modifications have been fully produced. The new aircraft is named Northwest No. 1, the whole is very wide, already has an independent fuselage and wings, the placement of twin wing propellers, the higher nose position, can make it more convenient for the pilot to watch, the weapon is a light machine gun in the nose, can be loaded with 3000 rounds, unlike the world's original aircraft, it is specifically for the war zài, not a reconnaissance aircraft.

The speed can reach 250 kilometers, as for the ceiling, the problem of the fuselage structure is about 5000 meters for the time being, so in this era, it has surpassed most aircraft and aircraft.

This world has given China a chance, the sea and the land, China has fallen behind, and now it needs to catch up, but the sky, this is a blank, with advanced engines, advanced, high-standard aviation aluminum alloys, and all kinds of wood and adhesives, the sky belongs to China, which is not a problem at all. On the contrary, most countries in this era have not yet realized the role of the air force, the northwest and Russia duel, so that Europe focuses on the airship, in the specific situation of air supremacy, the power of the airship is very strong, they will go on the wrong road for a longer time, the northwest, with the help of foresight, starting from the northwest No. 1, more than ten years in advance, has a real combat significance of the aircraft.
