Seeing the plane soaring in the sky, Wang Guorui also smiled. But those who faced this liftoff for the first time, many people also showed a stunned look. Perhaps for a later generation, airplanes are not a big deal, even in many poor rural places, they have heard of airplanes to some extent. But when people in this era saw an airplane for the first time, it was simply unbelievable. After all, human beings, from primitive humans to the present, have also had many people who have made efforts to fly to the sky. From the fact that some people got themselves wings and then jumped off the cliffs, the results speak for themselves. There are also people who use all kinds of means, even tying themselves to kites, and the results of such people are not very good. The more extreme, that is, tying yourself to a stool and igniting a rocket, naturally made a pioneer for aerospace on the spot.

And after such many failures, everyone is very afraid to expect to fly. Of course, since Wang Guorui let that rocket Lori fly into the sky, the situation that humans can't take off has also been broken. Everyone knows that Wang Guorui has a kind of rocket flying equipment, which is very similar to angel equipment, which is very powerful. However, people all over the world know that the price of this rocket Lori's flying gear is surprisingly expensive. People all over the world can also speculate that Wang Guorui's rocket Lori's flying equipment is extremely expensive, and even Wang Guorui can't afford to use it much even if he is backed by a so-called high-tech tyrant organization. If Wang Guorui can be equipped with a large number of flying equipment such as rocket loli, then those foreign devils will immediately surrender without saying a word.

Therefore, Wang Guorui's rocket Lori is just a strategic deterrent weapon, similar to the nuclear warheads of later generations. This deterrent weapon does not have much use value, but is only used to deter the enemy. Therefore, everyone knows that not everyone can fly to the sky.

But now. I actually developed an airplane, and the cost of this aircraft is very low! Of course, it's just a lot lower than that flying gear.

"Of course, you may know that the rocket loli next to me can also fly. But I don't deny that the equipment for that flight was extremely expensive. It's almost impossible for me to make it again. To make one, it is very expensive. However, this aircraft is different, the cost of this aircraft is less than 1/10 million of the equipment installed in that aircraft, and it can be equipped in large quantities, so you can develop it well in the future, and then think about how to use it militarily. Wang Guorui said.

"Can it be used in the military?" Hu Wei is more sensitive.

Of course, Wang Guorui said: "Of course, our first choice must be used in the military!" ”

Wang Guorui is very clear that most of the scientific research results. They are all to be used in the military first. Aircraft were first used on a large scale in the military, and then the same was true of all kinds of combat vehicles. This is even more true of the satellite navigation system, which became famous in later generations. Therefore, this aircraft must also be used for military purposes, and it will definitely be developed in the future.

"First, to be able to conduct reconnaissance with aircraft, and then to help the artillery of your own side to calibrate!" Wang Guorui said.

Minister of War Chen Liyan's eyes lit up, because he was also an artilleryman, so he naturally knew how great the benefits of having an airplane in the air to help him calibrate it. And the other generals also nodded. Because this aircraft is out of calibration, it can also conduct reconnaissance. That's certainly great. This detection function alone also makes everyone feel quite satisfied. However, Wang Guorui then went on to say a nice feature.

"This aircraft, in addition to reconnaissance, can also conduct operations. After all, when the time comes, you are scouting the enemy, and the enemy can also spy on you. And at that time you will definitely have to fight accordingly. And then use machine guns to fight, isn't it? A machine gun can be placed on it, so that the machine gun can also be used to carry out combat and strike at enemy aircraft. ”

"Of course, the battle between aircraft is only a means. Not the end. The purpose of fighting between fighters is to seize air supremacy. Once air supremacy is obtained, the next step is to consider bombing with aircraft. If artillery is used, then the artillery is easily limited by the terrain, and some terrain is not suitable for the use of artillery. Also, once the artillery has been calculated by the enemy, it is easy for the enemy's artillery to strike in turn. You artillery officers should also know that once an artillery is hit by enemy artillery, it is very difficult for anyone to survive. This plane is different, the plane drops a bomb directly in the air, and then immediately turns back after falling to the ground, and does not entangle you at all. And to drop bombs in the air, that will not be affected by the terrain. And it is possible to take off from airfields, combat at long distances. The average artillery at the moment, that is, the firing range will definitely not exceed ten kilometers. And once our aircraft is developed in the future, the combat radius will definitely exceed 10 kilometers. Ten kilometers away, fleeting, when the time comes, they come and drop the bombs, and immediately return home, the enemy can only sigh in anticipation. ”

"Also, this aircraft is also a good choice against enemy artillery. The enemy's artillery is too threatening to us, so I can send planes to strike, so that we don't need our artillery to risk an artillery battle with the enemy, we can use the planes to knock out the enemy's artillery, and at that time the enemy has no artillery, and our artillery can just pick them up casually? ”

"Also, a lot, there are definitely more than that, you can think about what kind of use there are. These are also things that can make you think, and you can seriously think about what kind of use of this aircraft is. ”

Soon, the pilot also found a chance to land, and after the plane stopped, the pilot immediately came to Wang Guorui.

"I've seen the emperor, the flight is complete!"

Wang Guorui immediately asked: "How long can this plane stay in the air?" ”

"Back to the emperor, this plane can stay in the air for about fifteen minutes at present." The pilot replied.

"Very good, I'm satisfied! Next, continue to research, try to keep him in the air longer, and be able to reach a more combat radius, and even add more heavy objects. A machine gun, a bomb, or anything else can be considered. Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui was actually very satisfied with this plane, because he knew how the Wright brothers' first plane was back then. Even the Wright brothers' first plane could fly at an altitude of only a few tenths of a meter, and the duration was only fifty-nine seconds, not even a minute. And the fact that the plane, which I have been studying for two years, can stay in the air for 15 minutes and fly at an altitude of no less than 20 meters, which is already very remarkable.

Of course, this is the biggest difference between state support and non-governmental research. The Wright brothers invested in R&D entirely out of hobby, and then all relied on their own economic capabilities and resources for R&D, and the resources of the two of them were certainly not as good as the investment of the entire country. If the whole country is willing to invest, then there must be sufficient funds for research and development. Coupled with Wang Guorui's "foresight" as a traverser, he knew that the future aircraft would definitely have a future, and he made up his mind to invest a lot of money in research.

In fact, before the time when they were not able to fly, how many people could believe that human beings could control the valve to fly and control the engine to fly by themselves? Even many people, due to the inertia of history, subconsciously believe that human beings will never be able to fly, so they cannot study it at all. Even many government officials and wealthy businessmen are like this, so they are reluctant to invest in research into aircraft. Without a huge amount of money invested, the Wright brothers operated their own bicycles on the one hand, and then developed airplanes on the other hand, which consumed manpower, material resources, energy and financial resources, which were also extremely huge.

But Wang Guorui is really willing to invest here, because Wang Guorui knows that the aircraft will have a future in the future, and has mobilized scientists from all walks of life to conduct professional analysis. There are those who study machinery, there are those who study fluid dynamics, and even experts in various fields have come to tackle key problems, so that they will be better at it than the Wright brothers. And they studied one aspect of the stuff alone, and in the end it was much faster than the Wright brothers, who relied on their own experience to develop it.

And in this way, with enough money investment, resource investment, and even talent investment is countless times more than that of the Wright brothers, and there are various policy supports, then if they research out that the aircraft is not as good as the Wright brothers' plane, then Wang Guorui will definitely fire them all.

Fortunately, high investment often means high returns. This first plane of his own is countless times better than the first plane of the Wright brothers. The time spent in the air was more than fifteen times theirs, the wind altitude was almost ten times higher than theirs, and even the carrying capacity was not comparable to that of their plane. As long as you continue to invest in research, this can be a good result.

"Futiandi, this time, I'm afraid there is a place for you in the engineering award of the Tengfei Award!" Wang Guorui said.

And that Fu Tiandi was suddenly stupid, and there was still such a benefit? He also heard about the Tengfei Award, but he actually fell into the sky. In fact, Fu Tiandi also knows that Wang Guorui has supported them a lot this time, if there is not enough financial support, how can he have such a result?

"Your Majesty, isn't our war going to become three-dimensional in the future?" Qiu Baoren asked. (To be continued.) )
