Chapter 375: Carrier-based aircraft
Mozi then took out a jade slip and said:
"Big brother, do you refine a prototype first, or go directly to the production line. ”
Gu Yang took the jade slip and looked at it, and understood what he meant.
Like cruise missiles, carrier-based aircraft also adopt a modular design, don't look at it as a behemoth weighing more than ten tons, in fact, it is only divided into six independent modules of fuselage, cockpit, landing gear, fuel tank, engine and ammunition compartment, and the macro structure is not much more complex than cruise missiles, but the requirements for technology and materials are higher, after all, it is something to be used repeatedly.
"There is no problem with your design, go directly to the production line, and change it when you encounter a problem to be more targeted. ”
Gu Yang took a deep breath, waved his sleeves, and threw out a golden flame, which burned directly on the immortal spirit material in the hall.
Dozens of precious materials melted and condensed in the golden flames, and one after another magic circles flew out of the flames, scattering like dots, and finally spread out a hundred acres, occupying most of the factory.
Dozens of engineers stood in the distance, all staring and engrossed. Some people even took out jade slips and carefully recorded the scene in front of them. It's a pity that with their cultivation and attainments, even if they can see the purpose of each magic circle, they can't see Gu Yang's method of refining them, which is the core secret.
Half a day later, the last circle was completed. Gu Yang waved his sleeves, looked at everyone and greeted:
"I don't need to remember, I'm going to tell you how this line works, and there are a few key processes that you still need to check. ”
Mozi immediately put a large pile of materials on a giant magic circle ten zhang wide, and the entire production line began to run, and dozens of immortal spirit materials then flew to different magic circles, and Gu Yang also began his own explanation......
How do you build an airplane?
Even when the airplane was first invented, the design drawings and principles could be easily bought at the stalls, and then there was a group of peasant uncles who were keen to build airplanes.
How do you make the tools you use to build an airplane?
Even in the age of the internet, it is absolutely confidential. Just as "US imperialism" even if the assembly line of the "F16" is placed in the house of the "third brother", the "third brother" will still not be able to produce the "F16" independently.
This is the knowledge economy.
The core value of the knowledge economy has never been knowledge, but knowledge that can be applied.
Because of the process requirements, every step on the production line was carried out very slowly, and after a whole day, the first aircraft entered the module assembly program, that is, here, the production line was stuck, and several parts could not be installed, I don't know if one is big or the other is small.
Gu Yang immediately took all the components off the assembly line, and took a group of engineers to measure them one by one with calipers against the parameter table, and it took a full hour to find out the reason. After the Mozi calculus, Gu Yang fine-tuned some magic circles, and the production line started again, and the second batch of materials began to be produced......
The second aircraft successfully passed the module assembly procedure, but was stuck again in the final assembly array. There was an innegligible error between the most important engine unit and the fuselage, and Gu Yang had to take a group of engineers to measure it from scratch with calipers again......
In this way, after scrapping five batches of materials in a row, the first aircraft rolled off the assembly line. Although they were just holding a ruler to find errors, the engineers were still excited.
This is a pitch-black fly-wing fighter, nearly 30 meters long, with a wingspan of nearly 30 meters, and a height of no more than 3 meters, with an overall triangular shape. The air intakes are above the wings, which are also triangular and full of tension. Everyone leaned out of their senses, and then they were stunned, the plane obviously stopped in front of them, but there was no slightest fluctuation.
Gu Yang also poked out his divine sense and nodded with satisfaction, if it was to turn off the engine and glide a hundred miles away, it would be really difficult for the "Heavenly Monarch" to find out if he didn't pay close attention. But if you have the engine on, it's hard to say, especially on the sea.
The cockpit in front of them then opened, and everyone was stunned. Unlike the complex joysticks in the cockpit of civil airliners, there is only one steering wheel in this cockpit, and there are only a few simple buttons on the steering wheel, and the front of the steering wheel is similar to the dashboard of the car, as well as a speedometer, tachometer and fuel gauge, the only difference is that there is an additional horizontal altimeter.
There is also a seat behind the bridge, and what puzzles everyone is that there is actually a crystal ball installed in front of the seat, with rune inscriptions on it, flashing with mysterious brilliance.
Someone drove a fuel truck and poured ten tons of purple liquid directly into the fuel tank, and everyone then pushed the plane onto the runway. Mozi took out a jade slip and said:
"Big brother, this is the testing process, please. ”
"Let me test fly?" Gu Yang was stunned.
"If we fail, we'll die......"
Mozi looked right.
"I rely on ......"
Gu Yang rolled his eyes fiercely and climbed into the cockpit.
The cockpit of the aircraft is not much different from the cockpit of the "Guyang Venus", and all functions are integrated into the steering wheel. One-button ignition, the engine emits a loud roar. The engineer immediately brought in various testing instruments, and Gu Yang also carefully recorded the parameters on the dashboard.
After a while, Gu Yang pressed the next gear according to the test process, the sound of the engine increased a little, and the plane began to taxi slowly on the runway, but it was far from enough to take off.
Gu Yang circled around the airport several times like a children's toy, and then hung the second gear around the airport dozens of times. The engineers followed in a separate shuttle van, their minds watching the changes in every part of the body.
The plane is invisible when it is not moving, but it is not. Although the formation that shielded the divine consciousness was still there, the effect was very weak, at least within a hundred meters.
After the third test was completed, Gu Yang finally hung up the third gear. The sound of the engine grew louder, and the tail erupted with blazing purple flares, and the plane began to accelerate before slowly moving off the ground.
1st gear start, 2nd gear run, 3rd gear takeoff, 4th gear cruise, 5th gear afterburner......
The combat radius of the plane was said to be 10,000 li, but the ten-ton purple Yuan Ye only allowed Gu Yang to play in the sky for less than two hours before he had to land. And according to the current price of the yuan liquid, it is at least 100 yuan.
Under the nervous eyes of everyone, the plane lowered the landing gear and landed smoothly, and finally stopped firmly at the gate of the factory. The hatch cover opened, Gu Yang jumped off the plane, but seeing that everyone's faces were not good-looking, he couldn't help asking:
"Aren't you happy that I'm back alive?"
Mozi smiled bitterly:
"According to the test, a lot of data is not up to standard, so it will be used less than ten times to have problems, and many places need to be modified. ”
Gu Yang had a toothache......
If it were the Earth in the twentieth century, this project would probably last ten years. However, in the Tiangang world, where personal strength has infinite possibilities, Gu Yang, with the full support of Daoting, only took ten days to build the first good aircraft, and the production line was then at full power.
Three planes off the assembly line every day is an unimaginable speed, and with the current pass rate, the material cost of each aircraft is less than one million yuan, which is about the same as the price of a "Guyang Venus". But within a few days, the workshop was shut down - the capital chain of the entire Guyang capital was broken.
Three aircraft carriers, six super frigates, 10 carrier-based aircraft, thousands of cruise missiles, tens of thousands of guns and millions of rounds of ammunition are piled up in warehouses waiting to be sold, but those who want to buy them can't come up with the money.
Gu Yang had no choice but to come to the parliament hall for the second time, facing a group of female parliamentarians who eat melons, and began to explain the significance of the aircraft carrier battle group to the national strategy, with high-quality 3D animation.
Two hours later, Gu Yang unscrewed the bottle and took a sip of mineral water, and said loudly:
"It's a choice whether to fend for yourself on this island where birds don't, or to shear sheep around the world on a warship. The former is equated with tyranny, terror and oppression, an era that we buried with our own hands. The latter means democracy, the rule of law and prosperity, the future to which all aspire.
Ladies and gentlemen, how merciful God has finally given us the power to decide our own destiny, and now is the time for us to fulfill our historical mission!"
As soon as the words fell, the people who ate melons immediately put down the melon seeds, and then applauded. Gu Yang was gradually stunned, and then smiled bitterly. Everyone applauded enthusiastically, but no one raised their hands in favor of this 10 billion yuan arms procurement bill.
After a while, it was still the speaker Ouyang Tang who spread his hands and said with a wry smile:
"I also agree that aircraft carriers are the trend of the development of the Navy, but we really don't have the money......"
"I've been thinking about that for a long time. ”
Gu Yang was not afraid that everyone would disagree, but he was afraid that everyone would not react, so he immediately picked up when he heard the words:
"We can issue 10 billion 10 billion discount treasury bonds, and with the current economic situation and the economic benefits brought by the three aircraft carriers, we will definitely be able to repay this money in 10 years. ”
Ouyang Tang's eyes lit up and asked:
"Ten billion ten-year discounted treasury bonds, now sold for up to seven billion, seven billion can buy three aircraft carrier battle groups?"
"This ......"
Gu Yang was speechless, he spent nearly four months, mobilized 10 billion resources, and bet on a large number of the latest technology, if 7 billion was sold, it would be too much of a loss.
However, considering the situation of the country, Gu Yang gritted his teeth and said after weighing it for a while:
"Seven billion can buy a maximum of two aircraft carrier battle groups, which should be the lowest price. ”
Although Gu Yang directly used 10 billion foreign exchange with his own influence, there are accounts for where the money is spent. As parliamentarians, everyone is not unchecked, and they are all moved when they hear it.
Although everyone present was snorting melon seeds, they looked like they were hanging. But he was the first batch of people to pass the imperial examination, how could he not understand geopolitics, not to mention that Gu Yang had already explained it very clearly before.
Maritime power must be built on military influence, and the range of battleships is too close, and the deterrence of continental powers is limited, and the development of aircraft carriers is an inevitable choice. Now there is an opportunity that no responsible MP will ignore.
Ouyang Tang looked at everyone and said tentatively:
"Why don't we buy two aircraft carrier battle groups first?" I heard that many princes and nobles of the Yuanming Continent live on Dragonstone Island for a while, just to snap up purebred spirit beasts for a while. If Dragonstone Island's spirit beasts can also be listed on our futures market, 10 billion can be recovered. ”
"Speaker Takami!"
"Yes, if the sale of spirit beasts is also settled with our money, there will definitely be a profit. I heard that what kind of beast egg can be auctioned off hundreds of millions of immortal coins in the Zilan Empire!"
"Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth, so let's do it!"
"I'm relieved to see the high-level people so shameless!"
......
After everyone chatted about melon seeds for a while, they finally entered the voting procedure.
After all, Gu Yang's identity and status are transcendent, and he can't not give no face at all. What everyone is fighting for is nothing more than a sense of existence and identity.
