178th Test Flight (Make up for yesterday's three watches)
Many rough embryos are in favor of the entry of the Germans, and there are many German sticks in the open and in the dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAs a land power country like China, Germany has a lot to learn from in its development history, and the rigorous and rigid style of the Germans is also deeply favored by science and engineering men.
Due to the lack of talents in metallurgy and chemical industry, it is imperative for Kit Krupp to enter the game. Many rough embryos only know their general composition, as well as the general production process, and it is obvious that the word "roughly" is used, which means that even if the rough embryos want to make a small amount of advanced materials in the laboratory, it is impossible to achieve it. The rough embryos had to rediscover the composition ratios and production processes of these materials in the laboratory according to their own memory.
And the conditions for these experiments are not available to them now, the "director team" did not provide them with so much equipment, not even a crucible for steelmaking. The self-made engine of the Daystar 1 was machined from cast iron supplied by Komen. Under such conditions, it is impossible for the rough embryos to reproduce the production of some advanced materials by themselves.
However, they have a lot of samples of advanced materials in their hands, which can be used to pit the big powers into entering the game. For example, Krupp was so impressed by a small piece of ductile iron that it soon signed a memorandum to open a joint laboratory on the Liaodong Peninsula.
And these actions that are very close to the Germans, the crossing crowd is also half-concealed to the British, and the rough embryos also play a balance with the British. In order to weaken Germany, you want to support Maozi, we have no objection, but you want to use the meat on our plate, the Liaodong Peninsula, to support Maozi, sorry we don't do it. This was the attitude that the Travelers wanted to show to Britain through their interaction with Germany.
"It's really annoying that this cousin is a balance game, and I'm having a good time in Europe, why are we coming in?" Hao Dajian was tired of selling things to the Germans again, knowing that the stereotypical Germans were very endearing as a colleague or seller. But this kind of more honest attitude is absolutely nightmare when it comes to the customers you want to sell your product to, and they will entangle you with the pattern of a screw in your design.
"It is not only the King of England, the King of Germany and the Tsar who are relatives, but almost all the royal families of the European continent are now related to each other, and they are not soft on the fact that their opponents are relatives. Supposedly, the European continent was in a relatively stable state the whole time, so why did I smell gunpowder across a Siberia? Zhao Yi said.
"Butterfly effect, I think let's continue to make such a fuss, this European arms war is estimated to be staged in advance." Lu Xiangyang said.
"What we're waiting for is that they play an arms race, and it's better to start a war in advance. That was a good opportunity for the rise of China, the political turmoil in the Republic of China did not seize this good opportunity, and when these powers who fought each other eased up, they were suppressed again. We can't afford to miss this opportunity this time. Yang Xiaodong said.
"Eat the rice one bite at a time, don't think so far ahead. After the test flight of the plane is carried out first, we have to make the Germans realize that after the British get the plane, they will lag behind Britain in armaments, and they will step up their cooperation with us. We need to seize the opportunity to fool more resources and technicians to come over. Zhao Yi hurriedly helped Lou back to the direction of the original conversation.
Zhao Lang is leading the rough embryos of the maintenance team to install self-made engines for the "Daystar No. 1", although these two engines are claimed to be made of materials produced by the current European level of science and technology provided by Koman, but in fact, many of their parts are still replaced by parts obtained from the "director team" by the traversal. After all, in such a short period of time, spark plugs and carburetors are really not good to make from the materials that Koman provides.
The main body of the engine is basically cut out of cast iron by Zhao Lang, so the weight of these two engines can be imagined. What Koman provided was cast iron, not ductile iron, and Zhao Lang could only make up for the strength and thickness. These two gasoline engines are made as stupid and thick as diesel engines, and each engine has a touching fifty horsepower.
In Hao Dajian's words, more than half of the power output of these two goods is used to carry their own weight. However, considering that this test flight is only to confirm that the current level of science and technology of the great powers can make an airplane to fly into the sky. So two of these pit engines, with impressive power and terrifying weight, can barely take a wooden structure and cloth skin plane like the "Daystar 1" into the sky. This is the purpose of completing the test flight, and as for the British, if they want a better aircraft, then invest money in joint research and development.
The Daystar 1 was a twin-engine, two-seater, with the pilot in the middle of the fuselage and the envisaged artillery observer in the nose, and the aircraft was designed from the beginning as a point to observe the landing of artillery shells.
On the day of the test flight, the nose of the "Daystar 1" was empty, and in addition to being a very dangerous activity, the rough embryos also had to minimize the weight of the fuselage, and the two engines together provided a touching 100 horsepower, and the rough embryos had to try their best to reduce the weight.
The Daystar No. 1 was towed onto a newly built dirt runway, and although Koman had placed an order for a large amount of cement, the building material, known as "ash", could not be produced in the Qing Dynasty. Judging from the current logistics speed, if you want to wait for the cement runway to be repaired and then test the flight, the daylily is cold. In addition, it is winter, and the temperature below zero is not suitable for building a cement runway, so Hao Dajian chose to test fly the "Qixing No. 1" on the dirt runway.
In this way, "Daystar No. 1" slowly rose into the sky under the gaze of many foreigners in the light or in the dark. Well, compared to the traversal crowd who are accustomed to seeing modern aircraft take off and land, the take-off of "Daystar No. 1" can only be described by the adjective slow.
Foreigners cheered and saluted the Daystar 1 or recorded the historic image with cameras that resemble a man-in-one anti-tank missile sighting device. The melon-eating masses who crossed the crowd were much calmer, not because they had much confidence in the plane that the rough embryos had saved, but because in fact, Hao Dajian had already made a test flight yesterday, and the plane had no other problems except for the lack of power, slow flight, and low flight.
Invited to visit the test flight of the plane was also Japanese Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu, Zhao Yi wanted to convey the message to him could not be more obvious, we have begun to sell high-tech products to your gold owner, you are still sweeping the low-end tail goods of the gold owner, don't look at the fat of Liaodong, hurry up and sign a secret agreement, and be back to your role as a vicious dog to bite the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
