Chapter 505: Zhanjiang Air Show (I)

If scientists from other countries cross nuclear fission, it may be impossible to directly study nuclear fusion, after all, the leap in technology is too big, this goal is difficult to achieve, but it is different with Xiaofeng, it only needs to be studied in the chip through simulation modeling, and the results can be achieved quickly, if the nuclear fusion reactor really appears, the power system of Zhonghua Island will undergo a earth-shaking change, so Fang Xiaoyu immediately issued an order to Xiaofeng, so that his research index priority to ensure the research of the nuclear industry.

After Xiaofeng began to increase the research of the nuclear industry, Fang Xiaoyu asked the aerospace company to set up a base on the red moon as soon as possible to mine the newly discovered helium-3 element to provide the necessary materials for the nuclear fusion reactor that was about to be developed. Just when Fang Xiaoyu was thinking about how to build a nuclear fusion reactor and how to apply this technique to civilian and military applications, the year 914 of the Taiyuan calendar arrived.

After several years of recovery, the economies of various countries have developed considerably, and several countries such as the Yaman Empire have exceeded the size of their pre-war economies, and with such economic strength, countries have begun to want to strengthen their armaments.

After the navy was bound by the Rome Convention, their eyes were focused on the development of the air force. The outstanding performance of the aircraft in the world war has made all countries generally accept the theory of air supremacy, and the countries have not given up the research and development of the aircraft even in the most difficult economic times, and after trying to obtain various active aircraft of the Chinese Imperial Air Force from the black market (mainly from those NATO allies), their scientists have conducted detailed research, which is of great benefit to the development of the aviation industry of various countries.

The Chinese Empire has been using all-metal monoplanes for several years, and even the new monoplanes of the Boston Empire have long been equipped with troops.

In such an urgent need, the countries of the Western Continent stepped up the design of their own advanced fighters, and in 914, the countries began to design their own new military aircraft. The countries of the western continent have a rich accumulation of talents and technical heritage, and once they begin to attach importance to the research of the air force, they will soon be able to make achievements.

Soon, several major powers in the western continent designed their own new aircraft, such as the BF109 fighter of the Yaman Empire, the Saab 10 fighter of the Habfsburg Kingdom, and the MC200 fighter of the Grand Duchy of Sardinia.

However, all countries are novices in designing aircraft, and new aircraft naturally have such and such defects that need to be improved slowly, but the Air Force has an urgent need for the upgrading of aircraft. The new domestic aircraft need to continue to be improved, and the military has no choice but to turn its attention to the outside, hoping to buy some foreign aircraft first to solve the urgent need.

At this time, there were only two countries with mature monoplane manufacturing technology in the world, the Chinese Empire and the Boston Empire, and both countries attached great importance to this order from the Western Continent, and the Boston Empire even sent envoys to lobby the three countries to buy their own aircraft. It was in this context that the biennial Zhanjiang Air Show of the Chinese Empire opened.

The Zhanjiang Air Show was held after the Chinese Empire held the 2nd World Expo and the Weapons Expo, as one of the three major exhibitions of the Chinese Empire, the Zhanjiang Air Show was held every two years, even during the World War.

Of course, in addition to the last two editions of the Boston Empire's aircraft, the previous air shows were basically the Chinese Empire's solo dance, and this session is at a critical moment in the development of each country's own fighter jet, and aircraft designers from various countries are also very eager to come and get some inspiration from the Chinese Empire's aircraft.

The idea of the military of various countries is simpler, they hope to compare the aircraft of the Boston Empire and the Chinese Empire at this air show, and choose the best aircraft for their own air forces, so for this air show, all countries attach great importance to this air show.

The countries of the Western Continent have sent delegations and assessment missions of sufficient weight to prepare an objective assessment of the exhibited aircraft during the air show to serve as a reference for the military to purchase fighter jets. The Boston Empire attaches great importance to this air show, and they know very well that this may be a breakthrough to break through the disadvantages of their own military trade, and once the countries of the Western Continent purchase their own aircraft, Boston will have an equal position with the Chinese Empire in the international arms trade arena.

In order to achieve this goal, the Boston Imperial delegation brought with them a new aircraft that had just been successfully developed by their country, intending to make a splash at this air show and take a good breath of anger that had been suppressed by the Chinese Empire for so many years.

As its name suggests, the Zhanjiang Air Show was held in Zhanjiang Prefecture in Jiuhua County, the Chinese Empire, where the temperature is suitable all year round, the humidity is low, and there are many sunny days, which is very suitable for aviation displays. This air show not only featured more than a dozen types of military aircraft brought by the Chinese Empire and the Boston Empire, but also a large number of civilian aircraft manufactured by private companies from various countries.

May 17 was the opening day of the air show, and the sky was cloudless, which was a good weather for the air show. The wide square was filled with planes from all over the world, and their whimsical ideas were an eye-opener for visitors, especially the products of the Chinese Imperial Empire, from agricultural planes spraying pesticides to firefighting planes, from small business jets to large passenger planes.

Many businessmen discussed the price with the owners of the aircraft on the spot, and many finalized the aircraft purchase agreement on the spot, which benefited the aircraft manufacturers from all over the world, and of course, the most profitable was the Qingzhou 200 passenger aircraft exhibited by the China Foundation.

With the increasingly popular business of the Chinese Imperial Airlines, businessmen from all over the world have also prepared to set up airlines, at this time, the world's best Qingzhou 200 passenger aircraft has naturally become their best choice, not to mention that the Chinese consortium is definitely a high-quality boutique, which makes people feel quite at ease to use.

Despite the bargaining on the tarmac and the wonderful comments of industry insiders, the atmosphere at the scene was also in full swing, but people glanced into the air from time to time, as if waiting for something. At nine o'clock in the morning, the roar of the propellers came from far and near, and a black dot came rapidly approaching from a distance.

"It's coming, it's coming." Many shouted excitedly, and they all stopped talking, and their eyes invariably looked at the rapidly approaching black dot in the sky. The black dot approached quickly, and soon people could see that it was a single-engine propeller plane painted in the dark green paint of the Boston military.

After the Boston Empire's show plane made a rapid pass, it climbed sharply, the fuselage of the plane was erected and quickly pulled up, and when it reached an altitude of two thousand meters, it immediately reversed, and the plane rolled forward beautifully and then followed by a dive, and then it made a small radius turn and then came to a low-altitude pass. Just when people were talking about what new type of aircraft this was launched by the China Foundation, the big Boston Air Force military emblem on the low-altitude plane made everyone present exclaim.

A middle-aged man sitting on the VIP stage, the corners of Smith, director of the Boston Imperial Air Force, couldn't help but turn up slightly, what he wanted was this effect, the reason why the Boston Air Force took out this newly developed F4F Wildcat carrier-based fighter to show it was to show the whole world that the Boston Empire's science and technology were not backward, and they could also build the most advanced aircraft, and now it seems that the effect they want has been achieved.

Just after the demonstration Wildcat fighter left the field, a larger black dot flew slowly in the distance, and just when people were wondering about its clumsiness, sharp-eyed people suddenly noticed something unusual about this aircraft.

"Five planes." Someone screamed when they saw the plane clearly. Yes, it is five planes, this is also the latest masterpiece of the Boston Empire, and it is also a creative aerial plan that Fang Xiaoyu deliberately stole by them.

I saw a two-wing four-propeller heavy plane flying slowly forward in the air, and a small single-engine biplane hung on its left and right wings, although they were not large, they looked so special. When the mother plane reached the sky above the square, it suddenly began to climb in height.

At an altitude of 4,000 meters, the propellers of the four small planes turned one after another, and soon they quickly lifted off from the large planes one after another, circled in all directions, and after making a circle around the square, led by the mother plane, the five planes formed a formation and flew into the distance.

Smith, who was beaming with pride, couldn't help but say to Wu Yu, the public relations director of the China Foundation next to him: "Director Wu, what do you think of my country's aircraft?" ”

Wu Yu smiled and nodded: "It's not bad, it can be seen that your country's scientific and technological development has been quite rapid in recent years." ”

Smith said modestly: "Where and where, we are far from your country. Although he said this, everyone could see his empty expression.

Wu Yu's eyes were full of smiles, and looking at Smith's arrogant appearance, he suddenly said: "Your country's air carrier aircraft is indeed very creative and eye-opening." ”

Smith waved his hand again and again, "It's nothing, it's just an idea of ours, and it's a good idea." ”

Wu Yu secretly laughed when he heard it, he couldn't imagine that the young master's strategy was so effective, the Boston people really made great efforts to study this trap, but I don't know how the young master of Lu Dao knew that this kind of creativity would not work, in case it was really successful, the flight radius of the other party's plane would not be doubled.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Wu Yu would not let Smith be too arrogant, he pretended to be curious and asked, "Lord Smith, I have only one question. ”
