Chapter 985: Air Show
Wang Guorui's son's 100-day banquet soon officially began, and this banquet was obviously not too large. It's just a 100-day banquet for a pair of princes and princesses, so naturally there won't be anything special, so it's not suitable to be too Hongda. That is, some ordinary high-ranking officials and some nobles with knighthoods are just fine, and they do not directly make the world known. However, this banquet is still small and fine, and there are actually various dance performances in the future.
In fact, most of these dance performances were arranged by the director, and Wang Guorui didn't ask directly. Even then they began to perform, but Wang Guorui actually didn't like to watch any of these performances, especially since he was not an elegant person, but he didn't arrange it directly and casually. Because of this kind of royal banquet, of course, it is not suitable to directly order it casually. Just like the Spring Festival Gala in later generations, although most people are not too interested in all kinds of dances, in fact, there are still all kinds of dances. It's all a hodgepodge of performances, and there's a lot to balance. Otherwise, focusing exclusively on one art form will not work. If language programs are for ordinary people, some of them must be for the upper strata of society, so in fact, there must be all kinds of things. Wang Guorui is not suitable to arrange the program directly according to his own ideas, otherwise other program varieties will survive like this in the future? Once you deliberately order just one type of program, then there will definitely be a wave of imitation, so the development of other columns is also worrying. So although Wang Guorui doesn't like a lot of dances or anything, he has to make some decorations, otherwise these types of programs will not be able to develop.
"Your Majesty, we have a special program next, do you want to watch it? This was arranged by someone from the Equipment Department, the emperor must have never seen it, or even heard of it! The director said immediately.
"Oh? What haven't I seen or heard of? Wang Guorui asked.
The director immediately arranged the command in the distance, and after a few minutes, the sound of a mechanical roar immediately rang out. And the people around obviously didn't think of this situation, and they all looked around to see what this thing was. And when everyone was very soon, a large number of electric lights were shining around. However, these electric lamps are reflected directly into the sky with reflected light, and they are suddenly illuminated as if it were day in a local area. This makes everyone quite curious, why is this? Isn't it a waste of electricity to have so many lights shining directly into the sky?
However, Wang Guorui heard this roar and immediately thought of something.
"This is an airplane?" Wang Guorui asked.
"Oh? The emperor is wise, a few days ago, people from the equipment department came to me and said that there has been new progress in aircraft research and development, so let me perform for the emperor, which can be regarded as a performance for the emperor's prince and princess for 100 days. This time, it's really the first time in the world, it's the first time in the air, this is a human performance like a bird flying an airplane, it's really the first time in the world! The director said.
The director was also a little excited, because this time he was directing the show, and the director was joining the air show. You must know that in the past, people in ancient times could not really control the flight show by manpower, although some people could rely on kites or some other things to sway some things on high-rise buildings for so-called performances. But this is involuntary, not really flying into the sky to perform. This is the first flight show of mankind, although he is not very professional as a director, but it is enough for him to be recorded in history, enough to leave a name in history.
"Look, heaven, heaven! What's that? What's that? Someone immediately asked, pointing to the heavens.
Everyone saw the sky, and there were actually three planes flying in the sky. Except for a very small number of high-ranking military officers and high-ranking government officials, everyone else saw this plane for the first time, which made them all shocked. Human beings can actually fly in the sky, although this plane can only fly at an altitude of tens of meters, but it is enough to make people feel extremely shocked. Especially on this flight, it seems that there is still a special performance, which is even more surprising to everyone.
"Your Majesty, the current aircraft has been able to stay in the air for more than twenty minutes, and its reliability has increased a lot. Not afraid of any accidents, aircraft diesel engines have made significant progress, power increases, and will not easily appear damage and other problems. And we have adopted the twin-engine technology, so that the life safety of the pilot can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. And our aircraft can now perform several important duties, such as reconnaissance of the enemy at close range. Conduct tactical reconnaissance of the enemy, and if there are any enemy moves in the opposite position, then we can conduct tactical reconnaissance. Of course, we have another important reason that we can carry out artillery school firing. If the artillery fires we can save as many shells as possible, and we can strike at the enemy as early as possible! ”
Wang Guorui nodded, this plane is actually ready for preliminary use at present. Although it is not used to a great extent at present, for example, the tactics are really poor, and the strategic reconnaissance is still not enough. This reconnaissance plane not only has a small load, but also has a very short range, so it cannot conduct long-range reconnaissance. And another reason, in fact, is the artillery school shooting. This artillery calibration, which can improve the accuracy of artillery shooting. This practice of calibration in the air was also used in the hot air balloon back then. Therefore, it is not surprising that this aircraft will be calibrated and even the aircraft calibration will be safer, so that it will not be easily hit by the enemy. Moreover, the calibration of this aircraft can be observed from many aspects and angles, so it will not have many limitations like a hot air balloon.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Bursts of silver glittering metal foil floated down from the plane, and this silver glittering metal foil made the light shining in the sky and then all of them were taken to the metal foil to make a reflection light, so that everyone also looked at it.
This light shining towards the sky not only ensures that there is enough light in the airspace, but also ensures the safety and navigation of the pilot. On the other hand, it also emits reflections from this metal foil, making everyone feel silver and full of luxury.
"Your Majesty, this is not made of silver foil, but of tin foil. We know that the emperor is frugal and will not waste it at this time, so we use tin foil. Tin foil is not expensive, the price is relatively low, and the effect is almost no less than silver foil, so I use tin foil in this way, which is also very expensive! The director said.
And then, after the three planes sprinkled the tin foil, they then sprinkled some flower petals. This petal makes everyone feel that this is like a flower scattered in the sky, like a goddess scattering flowers, as if she is in a fairyland.
"Good!" "Okay, great!" "Great!" "Wonderful, wonderful!" ……
When the guests present have seen this, they all feel wonderful. In this era, we have never seen any air shows, and we have not really felt any air shows, although now this is just some aerial flowers, and some ordinary tin foil, but it is enough to make everyone feel very exciting. This air show, the most important thing is a "novelty", which everyone has never seen, this is the most important. If there is no novelty, then this show is actually nothing, and it is almost the same as those high-altitude swaying all kinds of things.
"Woo woo woo ......"
In the end, the three planes suddenly separated, and then two of them were in a group, and the other was a separate group. And which of the planes in a separate group begins to fly in a certain direction in the air. The exhaust port at the back of this plane suddenly spewed out some golden smoke, which formed a skimming, as if it were a special wake.
And when everyone didn't know what was going on, the yellow smoke stopped gushing, indicating that the smoke could be controlled by itself. Soon, however, the smoke erupted again, this time horizontally. Only then did everyone understand that this plane was actually going to write in the sky?
"It's amazing that they want to write in the sky!" "Yes! How can you write in the sky? "Look, those two planes are also writing. One wrote the word 'mountain' and the other wrote the word 'xi', what does this mean? ”
"And the other plane, which was in a separate group, suddenly accelerated, then changed course, directly changed forty-five degrees, and then began to spray this yellow smoke again.
And the last pen was written by the person, and then everyone understood what the word was.
"Chitose? Oh, they are the word Chitose, and it turned out to be a celebration of the 100th day for the prince and princess! "That's when everyone understood.
In ancient times, princes and princesses were often called "Chitose", and these two words were not difficult to write, so they actually made this plane out in the air, which made them all very shocked. They didn't expect this plane to be able to play like this, and even those who saw this kind of plane for the first time, so they were very excited, this was definitely the first batch of people to see the airplane air show. Even this novelty is enough to make many people feel interesting, and many more people are beginning to speculate about what use this plane has besides showing. Even some well-informed foreigners sent the news back to their home countries by telegram. (To be continued.) )
