Chapter 0481: Biplane
Recently, the administration department of the 'revolutionary army' conducted an internal census to survey the population and the industrial and agricultural systems in the territory under its control, so as to have a good idea of its own family background.
Excluding North Korea and Shandong, which have just been defeated, only Tianjin and Liaonan are counted. The population of the 'revolutionary army' has exceeded 1.8 million, but the industrial population is less than 50,000, and the vast majority of the population is still engaged in agricultural production. While the industrial strength of the 'revolutionary army' has grown rapidly, agriculture is also recovering at a high rate. However, the level of agriculture is still low overall......
To put it mildly, it has great potential.
This survey is a wake-up call to the traversers that they can't just look at industrial development, and if agriculture is not done well, there will inevitably be chaos. And with Shandong and even more provinces about to be included in the official territory of the 'revolutionary army', the agricultural population will be even larger.
Although manpower and animal-powered agricultural machinery and tools are being widely promoted, farming is still time-consuming and labor-intensive, and strong support is urgently needed. After all, the Ming court has carried out continuous destruction of agriculture in the north in the past two hundred years - most of the food in the north of the Ming court has to be supplied by the Jiangnan Cao Yun, and Tianjin is occupied, and the Ming court is immediately on the verge of death. From this we can see how miserable agriculture is in the north.
If you want to develop agriculture, large livestock are indispensable. The 'revolutionary army' tried to get horses and cattle from Mongolia, but in reality there was a huge shortage, and there was not much supply of natural free-range animals in Mongolia. In the end, you can only rely on yourself.
After Zhou Qingfeng transformed the isolated island of time and space into a 'blessed land' and quickly cultivated talents, the distribution ratio of industry and agriculture was one to ten. Most of them are trained as agricultural technicians after completing their two-year junior high school education. It just so happens that there are a large number of cattle to feed horses, chickens to feed pigs, and farm and fish in the 'Cave Heaven and Blessed Land', which can be regarded as linking theory with practice.
The work of obtaining the improved seed was originally carried out by Ye Na, but Ye Na has also recently received cultural training in the 'Cave Heaven and Blessed Land'. Zhou Qingfeng hopes that she can upgrade from primary school culture to university level and become a qualified personal maid. The 'triplanes' that are used to run around also take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade......
The 'triplane' is powered by a gust of wind. After Zhou Qingfeng reconnected with Guo Budo, he wanted to get more Tempest Array, preferably to get the technology. But Guo Budo said that the Taoist friend who made this array had died not long ago, and no one knew how this thing was made?
Wen Ruolan also said that some of the materials in the wind gust plate do not know the formula, and they dare not dismantle and replace them without substitutes, and the only way is to make small repairs and minor changes - the material problem is really a headache, it is not something that can be done by wisdom alone, it requires trial and error, and even blind luck.
"This is a part of the notes that Guo Budo handed over, and it is said that they were left by the monk who made this gust of wind. It cost us a lot of money. "When Zhou Qingfeng returned to Tianjin, he handed over the work of improving the 'triplane' to Wen Ruolan. Accompanying him were Guo Jiao and 'Flat Hair', who specially sent notes.
Guo Jiao is very uncomfortable looking at Zhou Qingfeng now, the little kid who had to look up at her at the beginning has grown into a sturdy young man who is half a head taller than her, which really makes people don't know how to deal with it. However, the 'flat hair' also landed on Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder generously, and asked familiarly: "Zhou boy, you are now a big man, can you help me a little?" ”
Zhou Qingfeng really likes the unrestrained cordiality of 'flat hair', and he said happily: "What help?" ”
"Lend me some money." 'Flat Hair' said.
Zhou Qingfeng introduced Guo Jiao and 'Flat Hair' into Wen Ruolan's laboratory. On the large table in the lab was the dismantled Tempest Shower. He is opening the Heavenly Eye and urging Yin Yang Gui to help Wen Ruolan analyze and explore the secrets of the operation of this array. Hearing that the 'flat hair' on his shoulder wanted to borrow money, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "How much do you want to borrow?" ”
"Flat hair, don't be ashamed." Guo Jiao stood on the other side and whispered a little crampedly.
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head to look at Guo Jiao again, took the initiative to reach out and hold the other party's Rou Yi and said, "Sister Guo also came to take a look at this gust of wind and help out." As he spoke, he shared his vision of the eye with each other.
Guo Jiao was taken aback, but she didn't dare to break free, so she could only take two awkward steps closer and pretend to analyze the spiritual power lines on the array together. Wen Ruolan smiled at her and continued to work. However, the 'flat hair' flew from one shoulder to the other of Zhou Qingfeng, avoiding Guo Jiao a little, and lowered his voice and said: "Zhou boy, you are holding one by one, you really enjoy the blessing of Qi people." ”
The voice of the 'flat hair' is extremely noisy, and it is useless to lower it, and others can hear it. When it said this, Zhou Qingfeng felt that his left waist was pinched by Sister Wen, and his right foot was heavily stepped on by Sister Guo. In the middle, he could only say to 'Flat Hair' in pain: "Let's talk about borrowing money." ”
"Then lend me 500,000 taels of silver?" 'Flathair' spoke.
"Five hundred thousand taels?" Zhou Qingfeng asked in surprise: "What do you want so much money for?" ”
Well, ......, Guo Jiao whispered on the other side: "Zhou boy, don't pay attention to it." Flat hair is nonsense. ”
500,000 taels of silver can crush a man to death......
Zhou Qingfeng still looked at 'Flat Hair', and 'Flat Hair' could only scratch his head and say: "I see that you are hugging left and right, and I also want to have a companion." ”
Yes......?
"You puppet bird, and you still have such a request?" Zhou Qingfeng was really shocked, "You also want a female bird?" ”
Listening to what this person said, the more outrageous it became, Guo Jiao had to interrupt: "The old monk who refined the array plate left a refining blueprint of the wind array plate before his death, but he couldn't complete it with his ability. Perhaps we can refer to this drawing to modify the temporal squalder. ”
Wen Ruolan also said softly: "Judging from the eye of the sky, there are indeed many things that can be improved in this array, I have been pondering for many days, and seven or eight of them are sure to be improved." The others still need Guo Jiao's sister to help guide. ”
"Sister Ruolan laughed, the little sister is only a shallow learner, so she can only give her sister a hand, and she can't talk about the word 'guidance'." Guo Jiao is also modest, and her posture is very low. Before she came, Guo Budo frowned and asked her about her marriage, but after asking for a long time, she only sighed: "Zhou Qingfeng has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, and he has exceeded his ability to calculate hexagrams for his father." and then marry into the royal family, the blessing and misfortune are unknown. ”
That being said, but Zhou Qingfeng asked Guo Budo for the information on the storm plate, he still asked Guo Jiao to send it in person, and told him that there was anything he could ask Guo Jiao to help. As for his own ......, he really didn't want to see Zhou Qingfeng again. After all, he completely looked away at the beginning, and he didn't count that the real dragon was in front of him for a long time, which was really embarrassing.
The two sisters with different styles alternately interrupted, which attracted Zhou Qingfeng's attention. 'Flat Hair' jumped up and down on his shoulder, but he couldn't stop at all, and he kept scratching his head in a hurry, but he didn't dare to interfere with the big thing of improving the wind gust.
The two daughters consulted with each other, one was talented and intelligent, and the other had a family history. is no better than Zhou Qingfeng, a stupid person who 'doesn't learn and has no skills', the two of them immediately became confidants after a few conversations, and they each confirmed the improvement of this array and made up for each other. In the end, the plan was much safer and more refined than originally estimated.
The reason why the 'triplane' is a triplane is that the power that can be provided by the wind gust is too weak, and it can only add more wings to increase the lift. But there are more wings, and the drag is also greater. When humans designed airplanes, they built multiplanes. But the most practical aircraft is three layers of wings, that's the reason.
Originally, the Wind Gust could only output a maximum of 100 horsepower. After the improvement of Wen Ruolan and Guo Jiao, the power output soared directly to 350 horsepower. With enough power, Zhou Qingfeng completely abandoned the body of the triplane and changed it to a biplane with less resistance, with a load of 500 kilograms and a maximum speed of 300 kilometers per hour.
This is a significant increase in performance over the original triplane, allowing it to carry out longer expedition missions. This would even allow Zhou Qingfeng to fly thousands of kilometers with large livestock. Geographical isolation could no longer limit his pace.
After the new biplane completed the test flight, Zhou Qingfeng wondered where to go? What he wants most at the moment is the Arabian horse, a horse native to the Arabian Peninsula that is the breeding origin of many of the world's most famous horses. It is also an excellent riding horse for the cavalry of the army.
Compared with Mongolian horses, which have an average shoulder height of only one meter and weigh about 200 kilograms, Arabian horses can reach a shoulder height of one and a half meters and weigh up to 500 kilograms. Living in an environment of drought and lack of rain and food gives it many good qualities. It has a gentle temperament, long stamina, and is good at long-distance movements, as well as short sprints.
The so-called 'high-headed horses' of later generations basically have the blood of Arabian horses. Even the 'Mongolian horses' bred by our later countries have been improved by introducing Arabian horses many times.
Jiannu's elite horsemen are very powerful, but the horses they ride are still Mongolian horses. No matter how good their riders are, they can't change that. If the cavalry of the 'revolutionary army' can ride tall and strong Arab horses, they can completely look down on those 'dwarfs' on the battlefield, and it is very advantageous to be condescending.
"I want to go on a long trip to the Arabian Peninsula myself." When he fell asleep at night, Zhou Qingfeng discussed with Wen Ruolan.
Wen Ruolan glanced at Zhou Qingfeng, immediately turned over and got up, took out a world map from the drawer at the head of the bed, and searched east and west to find the location of the Arabian Peninsula. When she saw the distance on the map, she was surprised and said, "So far? It's really a thousand miles away. ”
"There's a plane, just fly over. I'm going to take a trip to Southeast Asia, a detour to India, and finally to the Arabian Peninsula. If I could, I would even like to go to Egypt, to Rome, to Europe to see the two big dunghill pits in Paris and London, and then cross the ocean to the Americas for an adventure, and finally to cross the Pacific Ocean for a round-the-world trip. ”
Zhou Qingfeng had a whim, but the more he thought about it, the more excited he felt. He is the only one who can play all over the world this year, and it is not possible to change someone else. Wen Ruolan didn't have much interest in traveling, so she could only weakly tell him not to play outside for too long, and thought about preparing luggage for him all the way. It's just that......
After Tianwen Ruolan couldn't rest assured, she went to the administration department to find Xu Bing to talk about it, and when she came back at night, she said with great resentment: "You bad guy has traveled so far and gone to so many places, and people are still worried about you." You have no conscience, but you are going to build an 'ethnographic museum', are you worthy of this piece of people's heart? ”
Yes......!
Debunked so quickly?
