Chapter 481 Carrier-based aircraft
"Flat!" Zhu Di was obviously very happy, he saw a deep jealousy in Li Fangyuan's eyes, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Ma Sanbao, "Sanbao, when will your aircraft carrier be launched?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, it will be about two or three years before the aircraft carrier can be launched."
Such a big behemoth, a giant on the sea, it takes such a short time to go into the water, Zhu Di felt that this time was not long, he nodded, "That's just right, I plan to invite the kings of several vassal countries to come and watch the ceremony when the aircraft carrier is launched!" ”
Ma Sanbao hurriedly said, "Yes, my subordinates have orders!" ”
Zhu Di invited Li Fangyuan to visit this giant together, and said, "In the twenty-second year of Yongle, at this time, I invite you to take this aircraft carrier to Yingtianfu together, back then, I was here, take my first warship of the Ming Dynasty to Yingtianfu, hey, at that time, I was so young!" ”
"The emperor is still young now, the emperor is a person who is over the age of six, but there is no gorgeous hair on the temples, there seems to be no difference between the minister looking at the emperor now and the emperor more than ten years ago, and the emperor's face has never changed."
Zhu Di was very happy when he heard this, he didn't expect that Li Fangyuan would be such a wonderful person, and he would talk to his heart.
"Since you are here this time, stay in my Daming for a few more days, I want to see this aircraft carrier here, you can accompany me!"
"Yes!"
On this day in the twenty-second year of Yongle, Zhu Di invited all the kings to come and take the aircraft carrier, and the news was soon sent to the vassal states by the Ministry of Rites.
Time passed quickly, and in March of the 21st year of Yongle, the first carrier-based aircraft flew from the west to the airfield in Qingdao and began to conduct test flights on the aircraft carrier that had already been built.
This is the most critical moment!
Zhu Gaoxian stood on the deck and said to the pilots who came to familiarize himself with the environment, "This is the most critical step, the take-off and landing of planes on the ship is related to the success of my Ming aircraft carrier project, it depends on you!" ”
Yao Boshan is the best pilot of Daming, the first pilot of Daming, and the first flight instructor of Daming.
"The take-off and taxiing distance of the fighter needs to be extended by kilometers, but the length of our aircraft carrier deck is no more than 200 meters, and it is certainly unrealistic to use the traditional horizontal taxiing to accelerate the take-off, and we use steam catapults to increase the take-off speed and shorten the taxiing distance."
Zhu Gaoxian explained to Yao Boshan the problem of taxiing for take-off, "There is also this, the glide jump deck, the carrier-based aircraft can be thrown up along the rear to obtain greater upward force." Even so, this is more demanding of your pilots. ”
Yao Boshan was eager to try, "Your Highness, the last general is willing to ask for battle!" ”
"First go to the airport for training, and when the training is proficient, then come to the aircraft carrier for testing, and we must make sure that nothing goes wrong." Zhu Gaoxian said.
The training took a very long time, not because the pilots of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to conduct test flights on the aircraft carrier, but because Zhu Gaoxian felt that it was still a long time to fight, so he gave the pilots a lot of time for training.
"Back then, I just wanted to be a tractor driver, but who knows, I actually became a pilot." A young man shook his hat and joked with a smile.
His name was Wang Xing, and he was the grandson of Wang Bin.
Back then, Yao Guangxiao disaster relief Suhu, brought a lot of tractors, how many teenagers saw the tractor, everyone wanted to be a tractor driver, Wang Xing pestered his grandfather, and his grandfather went to ask for a monk Daoyan, for him to find a chance to drive a tractor.
Wang Xing soon held a meeting with the tractor, and later, he went with his grandfather to pay New Year's greetings to the monk Daoyan, Daoyan saw that he was clever, so he ordered him a few words, saying that tomorrow is changing with each passing day, in this case, more and more talents are needed, but in the future, if you do not learn scientific and cultural knowledge, you will achieve nothing.
At that time, Da Ming began to develop airplanes, but people outside didn't know about it, but Dao Yan knew.
Dao Yan pointed to the sky and asked Wang Xing, do you want to drive a flying machine to fly in the sky in the future?
How young Wang Xing was at that time, he was a young man, so he naturally thought about it, so Dao Yan smiled and said, "Then go to school!" ”
Wang Xing looked at the carrier-based aircraft in front of him, and suddenly remembered his ambition back then, and a sense of pride rose in his heart for no reason.
Yao Boshan walked over and patted Wang Xing's shoulder, "This training, but you have to do it well." ”
He pointed to the sea not far away, "If you are not careful, you will fall into the sea, are you afraid?" ”
Wang Xing shrunk his shoulders and stared at Yao Boshan, "Captain, are you afraid?" ”
"Of course I'm afraid!"
"I'm not afraid!" Wang Xing patted his chest, "Just train hard, what are you afraid of?" ”
Yao Boshan sneered, "Okay, Your Highness said, whether it can be done this time depends on the two of us." You must know that this aircraft carrier is the nest of carrier-based aircraft, if a bird can't go back to the nest, think about it, what is the use of this nest? ”
"Got it, got it! We have to believe in the ability of our Daming, as long as the carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers are fine, we will definitely not fall into the sea. ”
"That's good!" Yao Boshan laughed, "Okay, then it's up to us!" ”
On the train from Shuntianfu to Yingtianfu, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxian's moods were very complicated, watching the scenery outside the window pass by in front of them, and after a long time, Zhu Di sighed, "I didn't expect the old monk to be so fast!" ”
Zhu Gaoxian smiled, walked up to his father, squatted down, and helped his father, "Dad, how old is Master Daoyan, where is this fast?" “
Historically, the monk Daoyan passed away in the sixteenth year of Yongle, and now, it has been twenty-one years since Yongle, and Daoyan has lived five or six years longer than in history.
In Qingshou Temple, the big monks stood at the door with the little monks to welcome the arrival of Zhu Di's father and son, no one expected that the emperor and the prince would come from the north to the south to see the last face of the Daoyan monk.
The moment Dao Yan saw Zhu Di's father and son, tears flowed down, but he had a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, the prince, the old minister can't move, and he can't get up to salute the emperor and the prince!" ”
"You lie down, you don't have to get up!" Zhu Di hurriedly passed, "Between you and me, the monarch and the minister are suitable, I am very happy in my heart!" ”
"The minister is also very happy! Daming can develop to this day, and in this life, he is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the world, and worthy of himself! Dao Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxian, and a lingering look appeared in his eyes, although he had not taught anything to the prince in his life, but in history, he would always be the prince's master, and he would take advantage of the righteousness, which was enough.
