521 Hot Air Balloon Motherships and Rockets

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he laughed and walked out.

Ruan Fubaojiao thought silently, although Lin Fei's last sentence was very rogue, but the previous words were completely for my sake......

Lin Fei came from the cabin, and Zhang Jiancheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have already arranged the French envoy to the reception room." ”

Lin Fei said "um" and was about to walk to the reception room, when he suddenly saw Zhang Jiancheng smiling obscenely, raising his hand and looking at his watch, Lin Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you kid doing?" ”

Zhang Jiancheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, from the time you entered the princess's cabin to the time you came out, it only took two and a half minutes, you are too fast, right?" ”

Zhang Jiancheng couldn't stop sneering after speaking, of course Lin Fei understood what he meant, pointed at Zhang Jiancheng's nose with his hand, and scolded with a smile: "You kid is really obscene!" ”

Zhang Jiancheng said with a smile: "Compared to what you did to the beautiful princess, where is my obscenity?" ”

Lin Fei's heart moved, no one should know about my bullying of the princess, how did he know? Lin Fei hurriedly asked, and Zhang Jiancheng said with a smile: "That princess is very arrogant, but every time she stays alone with you, she comes out with tears on her face, saying that you are not a molested princess, who will believe it?" ”

Lin Fei smiled without saying a word, let Zhang Jiancheng lead the way, and came to the reception room, only to see that the person in the reception room was the Frenchman Madridsco who had repeatedly dealt with him, and he had participated in the Chinese Foreign Trade Commodity Exhibition with Claros.

Claros was cut off by Lin Fei, and Madrisco behaved a lot in front of Lin Fei, for fear that a word would anger Lin Fei and be cut off by Lin Fei.

Madrisco said with a cold face: "Mr. Lin Fei, we already know about your forcible occupation of the territory of the Great Empire of Vietnam, and we, the French Republic, express our firm opposition to this, and urge you to renounce the treaty as much as possible. ”

"It is absolutely impossible to renounce the treaty, Mr. Madrisco, please say no more."

"Then we have only one way to go to war."

Lin Fei smiled faintly, "Are you French Republic going to declare war on our Huaxia Empire again, come on, we're not afraid." ”

Madrisco sighed lightly, "Mr. Lin Fei, why should we go down the old road of war again, isn't it good for us to settle this dispute by peaceful means?" ”

"If you want peace, you can, recognize the Xisha Islands as the territory of our Chinese Empire, and it's easy to discuss."

"Mr. Lin Fei, we might as well put aside the territorial dispute for the time being, and let the wisdom of future generations resolve it."

Lin Fei frowned slightly, "shelving the territorial dispute and letting the wisdom of future generations solve it" has heard too much, Huaxia in Lin Fei's era often used this sentence to express its attitude towards territorial disputes, Japan said that the Diaoyu Islands were theirs, and Huaxia said that the dispute was shelved; The Philippines said Scarborough Shoal was theirs, and Huaxia said the dispute was put aside; India says that southern Tibet is theirs, and Huaxia says that the dispute is shelved......

The reason why Huaxia in Lin Fei's era said this was because Huaxia was not strong enough, and in this era, Lin Fei would not say anything to put aside disputes, let alone let the wisdom of future generations resolve disputes.

Lin Fei sneered: "Mr. Madridsco, needless to say, I am waiting for your battleship to send off guests!" ”

Lin Fei glanced at Zhang Jiancheng, Zhang Jiancheng walked to Madridsco's side, and said, "Mr. Madridsco, please." ”

Madrid Skoy was reluctant to leave, Lin Fei glanced at Madrid Sko, "I know that your fleet is in Cam Ranh Bay, and I will wait for your fleet in Da Nang." ”

Cam Ranh Bay, located in the southeast of Vietnam, is known as "Asia's first military port", the water depth in the port is more than 30 meters, and it is more than enough to moor aircraft carriers.

At 8 a.m. on 11 January, a reconnaissance ship spotted the French fleet in waters 150 kilometers south of Da Nang, and the French fleet consisted of two high-speed cruisers, each with a displacement of about 8,000 tons, which was about the same as the Emperor-class cruisers.

Lin Fei boarded the Han Wu ship and led the fleet composed of the Chengzu ship, the Tenglong ship and the Qianlong ship to meet the French fleet, and Lin Fei's fleet also had two new weapon test ships.

The so-called "new weapon test ship" is a warship that only installs new weapons, which is used to test the performance of new weapons, collect new weapons, and prepare for the improvement of new weapons in the future.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Fei gave an order: "Hot air balloon mothership, raise the hot air balloon." ”

Although Lin Fei was developing an airship, the development of the airship was relatively slow and could not be put into service in a short time, so Lin Fei developed a sounding hot air balloon and left the hot air balloon on the battleship.

Hot air balloons are mainly responsible for reconnaissance tasks, in reconnaissance, the height of the reconnaissance platform is an important factor limiting the reconnaissance distance, because the earth's surface is a curved surface, and no optical reconnaissance equipment can see the objects below the surface, and the only way to solve this difficulty is to increase the height of the reconnaissance platform.

Lin Fei presided over the design and manufacture of the hot air balloon, with a lift-off altitude of 300 meters and a theoretical detection distance of 140 kilometers, but in actual combat, because the target of the battleship is relatively small, even if there is a sea as the background, it is impossible to see it from 140 kilometers away, so the detection distance of the battleship is only about 80 kilometers, and if it is facing a large fleet group, the detection distance can be further increased.

And the Western Navy, which does not have a hot air balloon, has a pitiful detection range of only thirty kilometers!

The hot air balloon is equipped with a large telescope in the gondola, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Germany and the signing of the alliance, Germany has sold a large number of advanced optical glass to China, China's optical detection capability has made a huge leap, after the hot air balloon observes the enemy ship on the sea, it uses wired communication to transmit the message to the hot air balloon carrier, and the hot air balloon carrier ship then transmits the message to other warships.

This type of hot air balloon also has a military number, its number is "HQQ-K-400-1", where "HQQ" stands for "Navy Military Balloon"; "K" means that the balloon is filled with air, and the hot air balloon can also be filled with hydrogen and helium, but hydrogen is not safe, and helium Lin Fei cannot make it now, so he can only use air; "400" represents a hot air balloon with a volume of 400 cubic meters; The "1" represents the first model of this type of hot air balloon.

The hot air balloon was quickly raised, and then two French cruisers were spotted, and at the same time, the French cruiser also saw Lin Fei's hot air balloon.

The captain of the French cruiser was taken aback when he saw the hot air balloon, but he did not expect that the Chinese people would use the hot air balloon, and our French Republic airship would also step up the research and development, the captain turned back to the chief of staff and said: "Write down the situation of the use of hot air balloons by the Chinese army and report it to our superiors, so that they can speed up the development of the airship and put the airship into the battlefield." ”

France is actively developing airships, and Lin Fei's airship development is also in full swing, and in time, an airship battle will unfold over the South Seas!

The hot air balloon spotted them when it was eighty kilometers away from the French cruiser, and immediately reported to Lin Fei, who picked up the microphone of the Blue Bird machine and ordered aloud: "X-1 ship, prepare to use brand new weapons." ”

The so-called "X-1 ship" is a battleship used by Lin Fei to test new weapons, and the "X" in it represents the meaning of testing, and the "X" is often used in mathematics to represent unknowns.

The new weapon tested by the X-1 ship is the rocket, and some people are affected by the shoulder-carrying rocket, thinking that the range of the rocket is very close, but in fact this is very wrong, if the rocket increases the amount of fuel, the range will naturally increase.

The range of this type of rocket designed by Lin Fei is more than 20 kilometers, and the reason why the range is more than 20 kilometers is that it is more than the new battleship guns of Britain and the United States.

According to the design parameters of the new battleships of Britain, Germany and Japan obtained by Sa Zhenbing, Yu Xier and Wang Yao, the new battleships of these countries will have the ability to hit targets from 10,000 meters away, and at this time Lin Fei, the development of large-caliber artillery is in a bottleneck state, so Lin Fei regards rockets as a killer weapon for long-range strikes, and in naval battles, first damage enemy ships with rockets, wait until the distance between the two sides is close, and then use naval guns to clean up the remnants of the enemy.

It stands to reason that a killer weapon like a rocket should be kept secret in the barracks, but Lin Fei still took it to the battlefield, on the one hand, because the rocket launch system needs to withstand actual combat testing, and on the other hand, because of the progress of other technologies, Lin Fei has begun to plan a more powerful killer weapon.

Now let the French see the scaly claws of the rockets, so that the Western powers live in fear, and Lin Fei has secretly prepared more powerful weapons, once the war starts, the shock brought by more powerful weapons to the Western powers will make them completely collapse.

On the X-1 ship, Tsiolkovsky was under command in blunt Chinese, and at this time, under Lin Fei's respect and courtesy, Tsiolkovsky had already regarded himself as a Chinese and did his best to serve Lin Fei.

Tsiolkovsky commanded in a loud voice: "Start the stable dìng platform." In order to increase the shooting accuracy of rockets, Lin Fei specially equipped the battleship with a stable platform, which is controlled by a gyroscope, and when the hull shakes, the gyroscope can weaken the shaking of the hull.

The operator activated the platform, and Tsiolkovsky continued to order: "Start the cold launch procedure, inflate the launch canister!" The so-called "cold launch" is to first use high-pressure gas to push the rocket out of the launcher, and the rocket ignites during the flight and shoots at the target, which has a major advantage that the high-temperature and high-pressure gas ejected by the rocket will not ablate the launcher and the hull.
