Chapter 223: Test Flight, Battle Emerges
The birth of the battery and the readiness of the first flight came together, and the two good news came together, which made Goodern a little happy.
Immediately sent a message to the Academy of Sciences, asking them to go to the test site of the Military Research Institute to inspect the operation of the experimental vehicle together.
Batteries are important, but the first flight of the aircraft is also very meaningful, and it is still necessary to make a trip first.
With the increasing development of Qingyuan City, the area in the city is no longer enough to develop new buildings.
The same is true for research institutes that require a lot of production and land occupation, but fortunately, the surrounding terrain is relatively gentle, and it can be expanded by removing the woods and shrubs.
For example, the development and production of large test sites are not in the city, but in the field outside the city.
In order to facilitate the interaction between the city and the outside of the city, Goodern also asked Chaofan to help tear down a section of the city wall and replace it with a movable wall of steel, two ten-meter-long walls, with a total weight of 1,000 tons.
It can be turned off to defend against enemies when it is in danger, and it is left open under normal conditions, with rails and roads that can be raised and lowered to connect the city to and outside the city, keeping supplies moving.
After receiving the news, Gooden arrived at the test site as soon as possible.
In the center of a test bench with a circular radius of 10 meters, a simple 'taxi' zigzag aircraft is parked at this moment.
As for how rudimentary it is, it can be said that the experimental vehicle is all *** outside, except for the main frame, and even the cockpit is *** open-top.
After all, this is an experiment to test the engine-controlled flight, and there is no need for a monolithic shell, as long as it can fly and be able to control, then there will be no problem with the subsequent filling transformation.
Seeing Goodern's arrival, Eden in the field stepped forward to report.
"Young Master, the first flight test mission has been checked and can be started at any time."
Looking at the flying machines in the field, Goodern nodded in response.
"Let's get started."
"Yes!"
With Goodern's permission, Eden motioned for a ready flight tester to board the craft and begin its first mission.
Where in this world is there such a direct pilot, as the first person to participate in the flight, but also a researcher selected from the research institute, after all, it is the first time to fly, no one knows if this thing is reliable, and it is different from the simulator feedback on the ground.
If it weren't for the protection of the pilot with various magic props, otherwise this uncertain test mission would probably really have to be tested with his life.
After putting on the protective helmet, the flight testers, with the guidance and help of other researchers, entered the cockpit, tied their seat belts, activated the power pack engine, and prepared to start the test.
Due to the irreversibility of the operation of the magic structure, the research brought a trace of difficulty, but the follow-up researchers also found a solution, that is, to control the output and frequency of the magic elements, so that combined with the mechanical structure, the magic equipment can be perfectly controlled and changed in real time.
And under the foundation of such technology, the design of flight control is also much easier.
With the help of the mechanics, the magic charge began slowly, and was fed to the engines one by one under the pilot's control.
The zigzag flying machine has a total of eight magic engines, and these eight magic engines can rotate one hundred and eighty degrees under special mechanical fixation, and the weight of each engine is less than two hundred kilograms.
But this is a purely magic-powered version without technology installed.
At the same time, each of the eight engines can move forward and backward 180 degrees, and the biggest change on the left and right can provide the aircraft with unparalleled special capabilities, that is, vertical take-off and landing, without the need for an incomparably long runway to taxi and take off.
Even such a design can make the engine face forward, for rapid deceleration, and even if necessary, it can fly backwards, of course, these are theoretically possible data, as for
The actual situation will not be known until the end of this experiment.
As the pilot activates the eight engines, a special sound comes from inside the engine, which is the inner blade that rotates under the blessing of wind magic, which is designed to ensure that the subsequent magic thrust can be more rapid, and it is also an important core to ensure that when the magic is lost, it relies on electricity to drive the deceleration and landing.
After everything is confirmed to be ready, the test pilot gives instructions from the magic communication.
"Everything is normal, do you want to do the next take-off hover test?"
"Agreed, fly at hovering altitude."
"Understood."
After getting the agreement, the pilot took a deep breath and slowly pushed the throttle stick on the left-hand side, and continued to increase the output of the engine until it took off and hovered.
The eight magic engines with their spouts facing down emitted a faint blue glow as the throttle increased, but this thing was not a flame in the true sense of the word, but a jet wake after various magical blessings.
Even the people who were about ten meters outside the test bench could still clearly feel the wake of the magic jet hitting the ground and spreading out in the impact wind.
Under the strong wind, no one present avoided it, staring at the aircraft with wide eyes, watching how it took off.
Under the gaze of a circle of people, the 10-meter-long experimental aircraft began to slowly fly off the ground, and as the altitude above the ground became higher and higher, when it was fast, the pilot slightly retracted the throttle of the engine to ensure that it could hover at this altitude stably.
At the same time, four of the engine openings of the two wings were slightly adjusted inwards to ensure that they could be stabilized in one position without being disturbed by the outside world.
Seeing the successfully hovering aircraft, everyone's eyes were full of joy, and after the pilot came from the cockpit, they almost shouted excitedly.
"Report the flight situation, everything is normal at present, the operation is normal, the flight altitude is stable, and I request instructions for the next mission."
Eden, as the person in charge, was also very excited when he saw this scene, and directly bypassed the communicator and personally gave the test pilot the next task.
"Next test, hover to move, flat to the left."
"Understood."
As the command was given, the pilot slightly reduced the output power of the inward-tilting engine on the right, so that the thrust on the left suddenly increased, and the test vehicle suspended in mid-air began to slowly drift to the left.
Although the entire cockpit is very simple, there is no shortage of necessary equipment, such as altitude detection or distance detection.
After the test pilot reaches the designated position, he leaves the right engine to increase the power and maintain the balance of output on both sides, so as to continue to hover steadily.
After all the simple flight tests are completed, some of the more difficult tasks are scheduled.
For example, increasing the height to 10 meters, turning off the engine to trigger fall protection, or hovering at a difficult angle of inclination to ensure transport in extreme environments, etc.
However, after one lap of testing, the aircraft did not enter the next stage of long-distance flight tests and some maneuver tests.
This part of the test task needs to be placed in the back to skin the whole before it can be carried out, but according to the current test situation, the control of the aircraft is very suitable and there is no problem. 藲礿尛裞網
Seeing the end of the test from the beginning and watching the behemoth in front of him slowly re-land, Goodern was also very excited.
As a cross-generational vehicle, this thing is even more perverted than tanks and tanks.
Goodern looked at Eden to the side and began to ask about the next setup.
"The first flight test is complete, and the next step is the wind tunnel test mission, how is the construction of the underground wind tunnel site now?"
"The wind tunnel has basically been built, and now we are doing the final commissioning work, and it is expected that after the testing machine has completed the skin covering, it will be able to directly put into aerodynamic experiments."
as a whole
A mission, the entire service for the aircraft related to everything is Eaton is in charge of Eaton, including some test sites and construction.
"The structural design should be completed as soon as possible, so that the first flight of the whole body can be completed as soon as possible."
"Understood."
At the time of the test, Buck had also come to the venue to watch.
After assigning Eden the task, Goodern looked at Buck.
"How do you feel?"
"It's shocking, although I already know the function and principle of the aircraft in advance, but watching the birth of the real thing, I still have an indescribable feeling in my heart."
"That's the charm of the combination of mechanics and magic, and with the power of technology in the future, the potential of this thing will exceed your imagination."
Goodern explained with a smile on his face as he looked at the re-landed and docked aircraft, and then turned the conversation back to business.
"Tell me about the battery."
"Okay, young master." Buck nodded, and began to report on the battery data and the results of the test.
"After the high-frequency modification of the material of the magic inside, the storage density of the battery has increased by as much as one hundred and sixty-seven times compared to the previous original version."
"According to the magic engine sent by the Military Research Institute, after the transformation and conversion, one kilogram of battery can provide it with up to three minutes of operation time without affecting the original data."
"And the maximum air duct thrust of a single engine can reach 120 kN, and the converted thrust can reach 12.24 tons."
This data also surprised Goodern, who was not fully involved.
After all, there is inevitably a loss of energy in the process of power conversion, and compared to the full thrust of a single engine of the magic engine, which is only 210 kN, it can be said that the engine propelled by electricity can reach nearly half of the thrust.
With such efficient conversion and output, even Goodern could not have imagined that there would be such excellent data.
And the most important thing is the range, one kilogram of battery can be exchanged for three minutes of operation, and eight engines, even if a ton of batteries are installed to provide power output, can bring up to 3,000 minutes of power operation to eight engines.
Even on average, each engine can run for more than six hours.
"Can the engine upgrade process be streamlined and mass-produced?"
"It should be fine, but it will take some time to research and prepare."
"Yes, try to complete it before the next maiden flight of the aircraft, and directly participate in the test mission."
For the arrangement of these tasks, Gooden also hopes to complete them all at the next official first flight, and complete all the test tasks at one time.
Looking at the busy group of engineers and researchers on the tarmac, nervously checking the situation of various parts, Gooden looked forward to the appearance of this powerful vehicle even more.
However, he was not happy for long, and the troops who were scouting and guarding outside the borders of the territory sent bad news.
"Young Master, the front-line reconnaissance force has an urgent communication, and the rebels have three vanguard armies of more than 200,000 people who have passed through the buffer zone and headed straight for Yunquan City, Jinbei City and other border cities."
In the face of this news, Gooden also expected it, and immediately returned to the barracks command room, gathered personnel, and began to prepare for dealing with the rebels.
There are more than 300,000 mighty teams, as long as they are not blind, they can basically find each other.
The gods' side is not a fool, and when they learned that Qingyuan was an absolute disadvantage in numbers, they directly used manpower to divide their troops to attack Qingyuan from three directions.
Under such a division of troops, the number of gods has not decreased, on the contrary, if Qingyuan's side needs to resist, it will inevitably need to divide troops, and the division of troops means that the separated army will face a hundred times more enemies than themselves, and it may even be two or three hundred times more possible.
The plan of the gods is very clear, that is, to use their numerical advantage to defeat Qingyuan one by one.
In the eyes of the gods, even if there are more than 600,000 emperors in Qingyuan, the only enemy who is really threatening is that
The sparsely numbered Qingyuan army.
"Inform the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade to establish a defensive line on the eastern side of Sancheng according to the plan, and put the operation in the field as much as possible, focusing on the operational idea of attrition and annihilation."
Goodern looked at the map displayed on the table in front of him, and used his baton to draw a straight line on the west side.
As for the combat mission of the theme, the military headquarters has already prepared to deal with it in advance, but the specific situation will also depend on the direction of the attack of the gods.
"In addition, the mission of the 3rd Brigade is to hold the northwest side to prevent the rebels from invading from above, outflanking from the upper left, and cutting off the reinforcement route."
Listening to the deployment task, the officers present expressed their understanding.
"In addition, the security of the independent brigade cannot be just placed in one place in Qingyuan City, leaving two battalions of troops to garrison, and the remaining three battalions need to be scattered to spread the reconnaissance and defense area within 100 kilometers."
"The rebels are different from the orcs, their attacks are unpredictable, and they must do everything to ensure safety, in addition, all personnel who have recently entered the area of Qingyuan City must have ID cards and triple tests before entering, so as to avoid infiltration and destruction by the rebels."
"Let's start informing the mission."
After a brief arrangement of tasks, Goodern asked everyone to start preparing.
The army, as a single and efficient organization, immediately began to move under Goodern's orders.
The three combat brigades that received the order to be stationed on the border immediately dispatched in an all-round way and began to make preparations for the response.
