With a high-pitched scream, umbrella flowers resembling mushrooms were sprinkled across the blue sky by AC-130. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although this strange bird that will make a loud roar a few days ago also pulled down a few lumps of "bird" that slowly drifted down in the sky, but today when it scattered those "bird" again, it still attracted a large number of indigenous people to stop and watch, uh, it is to look up.

"Your Excellency, are you testing the pilots' life-saving equipment?" Bart, an officer sent by the British Navy to oversee the aircraft cooperation project, asked one of Zhao.

"No, they are playing a kind of brave man's sport, which in the Great Song Empire was used to test the courage of the soldiers. As the ground garrison of the Royal Air Force of the Great Song Dynasty, they must have the courage to jump from the sky. "Zhao Yi concealed part of the truth.

In the twenty-first century, parachuting is indeed known to the public as a limit, and now those floating in the sky do belong to the ground forces of the Air Force, they are paratroopers belonging to air strike groups, not airborne troops of the Army, and the crossing crowd is based on the air service regiment of the John Bull family of later generations.

"Well, the traditions of your army are admirable, but the cost of this kind of movement is really expensive. It is said that the device of this umbrella is made of silk, but how much does it cost? Bart continued.

"Yes, the surface of the parachute is sewn from pure silk, which ensures the toughness of the surface so that it is not torn apart by the air current. The cost price is about thirty pounds. Zhao Yi has no reservations about this, parachutes are a concept, and everyone will easily imitate them when they see them.

"Well, can you give me some samples? You know that it costs a lot of money and time to train a pilot, and the shell landing point observer on the plane is not for the average person, and we are also thinking about equipping the boys on the plane with this kind of life-saving equipment. Bart said.

"Samples are available for you, but IMHO, for the kind of aircraft you're insisting on developing so far, it's almost impossible for a crew member to parachute out in distress. Your pursuit of miniaturization of the fuselage will inevitably lead to a reduction in the flight altitude of the aircraft, and in this case, before the parachute can reduce the descent speed to the level of human safety, I am afraid that the parachutist has already landed on the ground. Zhao Yi said.

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Bart was silent, as far as the current tonnage of the British Royal Navy warships is concerned, he can only bring planes like the "Warship Bird", not everyone's navy has a giant battleship like BB63 available. If there were such a warship with a displacement of 45,000 tons, I could also bring a larger and higher-flying plane! Well, we must advise the Council to speed up the construction of our own giant ship as soon as possible, and if we fall behind, we will fall behind.

In fact, at first, the Travelers were also worried that their unscrupulous efforts to tinker with these new tactics and gadgets on the Liaodong Peninsula would attract imitation from the great powers. However, with the exception of the Jews, who trusted the Crossing Crowd in an almost superstitious manner, no European power was interested in these things that the Crossing Crowd was making. Whether it is the larger "Daystar 4" aircraft or the "Vickers MK.E" tank, those European powers with their own mature combat systems are basically skeptical about the combat power of these new gadgets. They are superstitious about the large number of people, the large number of guns, the size of the ship, and the larger caliber of the cannons!

After all, the "big water tank" tank was an emergency work of the British in the original time and space in order to deal with the crossing of no man's land in the Battle of the Somme.

In their eyes, with the current level of engine manufacturing and metallurgy, the contradiction between power and armor is almost irresolvable. If you want to be mobile, you have to sacrifice the protective armor of the tank, and without heavy armor, the tank can't even carry an infantry gun, so what's the point of having such a tank?

Well, this is the era when European generals have not yet fully embraced the Maxim heavy machine gun, and many people see it as a kind of machine that adds a burden to logistics, and there is really no need to worry about someone starting to copy the tank.

"I would like to ask if it is possible for us to obtain information on the power of warships in your country?" Bart asked.

The Sovereign-class battleship, which was completed and launched by John Bull's family last year, uses two three-cylinder vertical three-expansion steam engines, which can reach 9,000 indication horsepower under normal ventilation. These two 3-cylinder vertical triple-expansion steam engines could make the Sovereign-class battleship with a standard displacement of 14,000 tons soar to a maximum speed of 17 knots, which is already the most advanced battleship of this era! Well, we're talking before BB63 doesn't show up.

In front of the standard displacement of 45,000 tons of BB63, Niu Niu was embarrassed to say that his Sovereign-class was a battleship. The BB63 can soar to a speed of more than 20 knots at every turn, which makes Niu Niu feel that the self-produced 3-cylinder vertical three-expansion steam engine cannot be put on the table.

John Bull, who has many years of shipbuilding know-how, can build warships with a larger displacement, but only if they have a steam engine that can propel such a huge ship. It's no wonder that Niu Niu wants to spy on the warship power technology in the hands of the Great Song people.

"Mr. Bart, you know that warship power technology is a top-secret technology for every country, and it is impossible for us to sell this technology to the outside world." Zhao Yi said.

For the traversers, the current steam turbine technology is not for sale, they can sell the manufacturing technology of aircraft and tanks all over the world, but they dare not fight the idea of steam turbine technology. For no other reason, as long as the powers can't get a steam turbine, they can only stay in the pre-dreadnought era, and the traversers can maintain an absolute crushing posture against their warships with BB63.

Bart could only shake his head helplessly when he heard Zhao Yi's answer, he knew that if Britain had this kind of technology, it would not be easy to sell it.

"Alright, Mr. Bart, at the right time, as long as you give the right price, I think we will have a chance to cooperate in this regard." Zhao Yi didn't say anything to death.

As for what is the right time, it must be when the steam turbine is about to be invented. Stuck at that juncture, and then blackmail Niu Niu, well, by the way, extort all the rich masters, and sell the goods to make money quickly!

In fact, the price code traversal has been thought of, it is a warship big enough, well, a warship that doesn't need a superstructure, a large warship equipped with a steam turbine that traverses the technology provided by the crowd. In Hao Dajian's plan, this warship will be changed into an aircraft carrier, so that the great powers can happily enter the era of dreadnoughts, Lao Tzu will play aircraft carriers first!
