Chapter 193: The first voyage of the airship

As early as the day before Sun Lei asked for help, after nearly a month of construction, the first airship in the wasteland settlement was finally completed.

With a total length of 125 meters, a head diameter of 43 meters, a capacity of 25 tons, 110 positions, and a crew of 17. When necessary, 180 people can be squeezed into the cabin in the form of canned sardines. It can stay in the air for a maximum time of ten days, and the maximum speed is 130 km/h.

Originally, the completed airship needed to undergo a certain amount of test and sea trial time, but in case of emergency, its sea trial was to directly support the Grand Canyon settlement.

If you want to rescue the Grand Canyon settlement, it doesn't mean that you can stop the zombies by carrying hundreds of soldiers to the Grand Canyon settlement, which is undoubtedly just a drop in the bucket. Why can the Grand Canyon settlement only use human walls to block zombies? The biggest reason is that they are underarmed and lack ammunition.

Therefore, after research, the first voyage of the airship, its task was to transport 200 machine guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition, as well as a large number of improvised grenades, and 2,000 Type 81 rifles to the Grand Canyon settlement. It is believed that with the support of this batch of weapons, the Grand Canyon Settlement will greatly relieve the pressure caused by the zombies, and it will be enough to support the arrival of ground troops in the Wasteland Settlement.

Giving this batch of weapons, for the wasteland settlement, is actually not in line with the next merger and acquisition plan. However, an analysis by the analysis department made Zhou Yuanqiang finally decide to drop the weapon into the Grand Canyon settlement. Because the analysis reports point out that in its current form, without effective support, the Grand Canyon settlement would not have been able to hold out until the arrival of ground forces that would take two days to arrive.

What's more, the analysis report also pointed out that this batch of weapons is only rationed with 100,000 rounds of ammunition, and after consumption, when the Grand Canyon settlement is rescued, the remaining will not exceed 5,000 rounds, and there will be no threat to the merger and acquisition.

With Zhou Yuanqiang's consent, the airship, which was named the Wasteland, officially began its first voyage. It will cross a distance of more than 300 kilometers to safely deliver this batch of supplies to the hands of the Grand Canyon settlement. At the same time, it also has another mission, which is to carry a large number of aerial bombs, and will be responsible for bombing zombies.

The strategic location of the airship is impossible for anyone to ignore, for the Chamber of Commerce, this is just the first airship, when the time will be designed and built to carry more than 500-1000 tons of super airship, now this one, and HY-1 fighter, Sha-1 light helicopter, is for technicians to practice, familiar with.

What really determines their capabilities will be the next model, the future model, which will be the real strength of the chamber of commerce.

As the first airship of the Chamber of Commerce, its liftoff is of great significance, so Zhou Yuanqiang attended the take-off ceremony of the wasteland airship with important personnel of the Chamber of Commerce at the time of its take-off. Because of the reason why it had to carry out the mission, the ceremony was very simple, it was just a simple matter of putting on a few ribbons on the airship, and Zhou Yuanqiang sent the blessing of the Chamber of Commerce, and began to slowly rise into the air.

Not many people in the settlement know about the existence of airships.

The launch of the group just now is already shocking enough, and people haven't reminisced about it, and they are all discussing. But before they could discuss a result, the airship began to slowly rise into the air, appearing in the sky of the settlement.

On the white airbag, the colorful umbrella mark of the Chamber of Commerce, in the sun, is so dazzling.

How long is 125 meters? Many people may not have an idea, but if you look up at the height of an 11-story building and imagine that you have three 11-story buildings stacked on top of each other, that's nearly 125 meters. It may stand up, that is, about 30 stories high, not very high. What if it floats in the air? Imagine how spectacular it is.

The people who witnessed the Wasteland airship rise into the air were all petrified, staring at the airship dumbfounded.

Airplanes are common, but for some, airships have never been seen. In many cities, airship advertisements are not allowed, and it is almost impossible to see them. Even if you have seen it, that is, a small airship of more than ten meters, in the sky, it is not conspicuous at all.

But this giant airship is different, the shock is absolutely huge, the huge body, the pressure on people, is from the heart. Whoever suddenly sees this giant will be conquered by it. Although the airplane is more practical, in terms of appearance, it cannot be compared with the airship at all, especially this kind of hard airship, which is full of angular beauty, revealing its majesty.

When the Wasteland lifted off to 3,000 meters, the engine started and flew towards the Grand Canyon settlement, which took two and a half hours to reach the Grand Canyon settlement.

On the airship, it is composed of 17 crew members, 8 soldiers who act as throwers, and 5 spacecraft test personnel, who will be responsible for the operation of the entire airship.

The surname Tu is not included in the top 100 surnames, and the Chinese surname today ranks 238th. But don't think that there will be very few people with the surname Tu, they also occupy 0.03% of the country's Han population. And Slaying Dragon is proud of his name, an extremely domineering name, at least he is grateful to his father who gave him this name.

Now, Dragon Slayer is even more proud, because he has the honor of being the supreme commander of this wasteland airship, for which he is grateful to the president he has personally appointed. Because without the support of the president, it is impossible for him to stand out from many elite competitors and become an enviable airship commander.

"Everyone does what they did when they trained, and we can't let the president down!"

Dragon Slayer informs everyone with a communicator that this is a maiden voyage that cannot be failed, because it will represent whether the airship can gain a foothold in the Chamber of Commerce. In Slayer Dragon's opinion, the role of the airship, in the last days, is definitely more important than the airplane, not only has a powerful transportation capacity, but also its bombing, carrying a huge number of bombs, can leak hundreds of tons of bombs anywhere in a few hours.

Think about it, hundreds of tons of bombs, what is this concept? Even a city is enough to turn it into ruins.

After sailing for half an hour, a group of black dots appeared in the air, and the roaring sound was able to be heard clearly by everyone on the airship. But they were not afraid of slaying the dragons, because they believed that under the sky of the wasteland, only their own chamber of commerce planes flew in the sky.

Sure enough, a moment later, these returning fighters roared past the airship, and they could see the pilots saluting the airship through the window.

In the face of the whizzing fighter plane, the most helpless thing about Dragon Slayer is the speed of the airship, even if the engine propulsion method is adopted, but the reason for the large size makes it impossible for it to be as fast as a small fighter. I'm afraid this is the reason why airships are gradually losing ground in the era of rapid development.

"Watch the wind!"

Dragon Slayer vented his dissatisfaction with the fighter to the command airship, "We must complete this mission beautifully, let them know that in bombing, they can't compare with airships, even if they wait for the bombers to come out, they can't compare with airships." ”

After the fighters returned home, they had a large number of ground crews, and they had already prepared, and one after another the fighters landed for more than ten minutes, and then began to taxi on the runway, rushed into the sky, formed a triangular echelon, and continued to fly towards the Grand Canyon settlement.

This will be the last show of the day, as the transport trucks of hundreds of cars, escorted by several helicopters, are already speeding towards the Grand Canyon settlement. In tomorrow's battle, this ground force composed of more than 3,000 elites is the protagonist, and the reserve of aerial bombs does not allow them to drop bombs for the third time, and there must be enough bomb reserves left for self-protection.

The airship, which had been sailing for an hour and a half, was quickly caught up by the fighters, and looking at the two groups that overtook him in a moment, the dragon slayer was so angry that he stepped on his feet.

Xu Dali's communication was connected to the airship, and his smug laughter was heard, and he said: "Captain Tu, don't worry, our aviation brigade is just eating meat, and the soup will still be left for you, so you can slow down a little." ”

Dragon Slayer was stunned for a moment, and then yelled: "Dali, you bastard, when I return to the settlement, I will fight you alone, what a bastard." But in the communicator, there was only Xu Dali's laughter, and then the communication was disconnected, which made Dragon Slayer want to drop the communicator.

But soon, the dragon slayer seemed to think of something, and the whole person could barely sit still, let out a hehe sneer, and snickered, "Xu Dali, you bastard, you wait for me, as long as this idea is approved by the president, I have to let you lean on Lao Tzu's hands." Hmph, the fighter will be amazing, and the time will be ...... to build the air."

Slayer didn't continue, he kept rubbing his hands together, because he found the idea crazy, but it wasn't impossible to succeed.

After the fighters threw all the bombs they were carrying again, and when they gathered and returned home, the airship flying at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, Slayer Dragon finally saw the big crack in the wasteland of the Grand Canyon from the telescope. There are still a lot of zombies under black pressure, as if a layer of black has been covered around the Grand Canyon.

"These bastards, they really only left me a plate of soup."

Through the binoculars, Slaying Dragon looked at the battlefield of the wolf country, countless zombies turned into slag, and the dense craters should be the masterpiece of Xu Dali's kid. On the entire battlefield, not a single giant zombie was seen, although the zombie offensive was still there, but anyone could see that the zombie was already a grasshopper after the autumn, and it wouldn't be long before it jumped.

After giving the order to turn off the main engines, the airship, which relied only on four small engines to propulsion, became silent, began to glide slowly in the sky, slowing down, and silently leaning towards the 3,000 meters above the Grand Canyon settlement.
