Chapter 473: The test flight was successful, and he took the initiative to ask to be colonized
"Fly, fly!"
Watching the huge airship slowly rise into the air, everyone applauded excitedly and even jumped. The airship that I made with my own hands actually flew up!
"Wow! I'd love to go up and feel it!"
Pearl's eyes twinkle with stars.
Misha and the others also looked at the airship with a look of hope.
Most people have a dream of flying, and they are no exception.
Luo Yin was also a little excited, but he knew that it was not yet time to celebrate, and the airship could float was only the first step, and the next step was to test the flight, steering, landing, and so on.
Only if all of these tests are passed can a successful claim be declared.
After all, this is something that flies in the sky, and if there is an accident, it is almost ten deaths, so safety is the top priority.
On the airship, Waters was also very excited, but he did not forget his duty.
"Keep rising, then full rudder to the right!"
"Yes!"
This airship is actually not big, at least in Luo Yin's opinion. It's just over fifty meters long – it may sound like a lot, but that's talking about the length of the airbag above, not the pod below.
It's a soft airship, and the airbags on it can't get in, so only the pods below can carry people. And this pod is only fifteen meters long and can carry more than a dozen people.
So in Luo Yin's opinion, a proper small airship.
If the test flight of this airship is successful, Luo Yin plans to build a large rigid airship similar to the Hindenburg, with airbags at least two hundred meters long.
A freeship of this size can be built with various facilities such as restaurants, lounges, guest rooms, hammas, bars, etc., making it a cruise ship in the sky!
It's cool to think about!
But when it comes to air cruises, Luo Yin doesn't seem to even have an ordinary cruise ship, and he takes a warship when he goes out. In addition, on the continent of the Holy Dome Continent, there doesn't seem to be such a thing as a cruise ship. Perhaps, it was time for him to enjoy it......
The estimated flight time of this airship test was an hour, and when it was more than fifty minutes, the airship had already flown back, and after staying over the factory for a while, it slowly landed.
Bang Bang Bang –
As soon as Waters and the others got off the airship, they received a lot of applause. At the same time, some reporters were frantically taking pictures and interviewing.
Although Luo Yin has no plans to announce the airship now, this is a memorable day, and the reporters under Luo Yin will record the whole process from getting on the airship, to the test process, to landing. When Luo Yin plans to announce it, a newspaper will be issued, and Waters, the first batch of pilots, is destined to be remembered by history.
"Congratulations on your first flight!"
Luo Yin congratulated Waters and a few people. There were six people on this flight, two dwarves, two orcs, and two humans. After all, it was to be written in the history books, and Luo Yin gave them a chance to perform.
"How do you feel?"
Luo Yin spoke to Waters alone.
"It feels so good! It's indescribable!"
Waters was still a little unrelieved, and he was too excited to do it.
This is an airship that he built with his own hands, and he personally flew and tested it, and successfully completed it. His name will resound throughout the Holy Dome in the future!
"Haha! That's good, but I'm going to keep you bothered."
Luo Yin patted Waters on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll make the airship even better!"
Waters assured.
The test flight went well, but that doesn't mean that the flight was perfect, and in the process of the test flight, Waters also found some minor problems, which need to be improved in the future.
And this airship is only a test model, if it is really mass-produced, it will definitely not be like this, and it will have to be tested and improved over and over again. Just like he made a tank - Luo Yin had already told him the principle of the tank, but the subsequent manufacturing and testing still took a lot of time.
After all, these are manned instruments, which are very safe and stable
Important, it is impossible to find a problem without going through trial and error.
So now you can't be excited or rushed, take your time.
While the airship test is taking place, you can also save up some more helium, after all, this is a consumable, and you have to save enough to save a certain amount.
Then it's time to build other airships, just like this prototype airship, just half-finished. When the test is completed, it is also easy to change.
And what Luo Yin wants to build the most is, of course, a large hard airship, which can not only be used as an air cruise ship, but also as an air war fortress!
When others are still crawling on the ground, Luo Yin will be able to send air support!
It's exciting to think about this image.
In the air, let alone throwing bombs, even throwing a stone can kill people! And the airship can fly more than a few thousand meters, and the enemy's guns can't hit it at all!
What is a Dimensionality Reduction Strike? That's it!
However, if you want to transform an airship into a war machine, there is another important problem - communication.
Nowadays, the communication methods used are wired, and there is no wireless communication. Then there is no way to contact the airship. In war, not being able to command is a serious problem, and if you don't do it, you will blow up your own people......
Unless you let the airship lower its altitude and command it by shouting loudly or speaking flags, there is another problem - the advantage of the airship is that it flies high so that no one else can hit it. If you fly too low and are knocked down, the loss will be great, after all, the cost of the airship is expensive.
Looking at it this way, in a direct military war, the role of airships may not be as great as that of tanks. Of course, if it is in terms of pure military transportation, the airship still has a great advantage, provided that a large airship is built.
Luo Yin is not in a hurry, there is no wireless communication now, maybe it will be made in the future. And he can get a lot of stuff from the blue vortex every day, maybe a radio or something like that one day.
Of course, there is no hurry, there is no hurry, large airships still have to be made.
Airships may be somewhat deficient in large-scale military warfare, but they are suitable for military transport and civilian purposes.
You just need to contact before you take off, and you can also fly low and act according to the flag on the ground.
After Waters heard Luo Yin's description of the large airship, he was first excited, then confused.
"A giant airship that is more than two hundred meters long! Sounds really powerful. But...... Cruise in the sky, what does this "cruise" mean?"
"Well, a cruise ship is a passenger ship that offers a pleasure ride, with plenty of entertainment and luxury services on board......
Listening to Luo Yin's explanation, Waters opened his mouth.
"Can a boat still play like this? Seems to be a lot of fun!"
Looking at Waters' reaction, it seems that there is no concept of cruise ships in the Holy Dome.
But thinking about it carefully, Luo Yin seems to understand why.
The sea area of the Holy Dome Island has two characteristics.
The first feature is the Eternal Sea and the Sea of Confusion. There are these two dangerous sea areas, which leads to a very bad impression of the sea, and everyone thinks that the sea is a very dangerous place.
The second feature is that the people of the Holy Dome Continent are simple and simple, and there are many pirates, so you must not only pay attention to natural disasters when sailing on the sea, but also pay attention to man-made disasters! Every year, there are only a few people who die at the hands of pirates.
Therefore, the wealthy are rarely willing to go to sea by boat, and they go out either by car or by fast and armed warship. Those who go to sea on ordinary merchant ships are ordinary people.
In this environment, cruise ships naturally have no room for development.
This is different from the Case Empire on another continent, Luo Yin has the impression that the Case Empire has a lot of cruise ships, probably because the pirates over there are not so rampant, and there is no sea of confusion, so there are more rich people who choose to take ships, and cruise ships naturally develop.
But then again, this sea cruise ship is not suitable, and the air cruise ship is too suitable!
Luo Yin can already imagine the scene of those rich people flocking to his "sky cruise" when it was produced and put into operation.
This is one
Good business!
Waters said that he would definitely make this air cruise ship, and even he wanted to build an in-sea cruise ship - mainly because Luo Yin said it was too cool, and he was a little tempted, after all, the warship he was on was really not comfortable. As for security...... There are so many warships here, can't you just let a few warships go to escort them, and you're afraid of some small pirates?
Luo Yin shrugged after hearing this.
Waters wants to build a sea cruise ship, so let him build it, anyway, Luo Yin is not short of money now, nor is he short of warships, and Waters now has a lot of people, all of whom are dwarf craftsmen, and he also has enough manpower to do it.
"Okay, you can do it. Anyway, airships and tanks are the top priorities, and without affecting these two, it's okay if you want to research and build anything else, if you need funds, you can find Misha."
Luo Yin said with a smile.
"Haha, okay!"
After handing over the subsequent tests and improvements of the airship to Waters, Luo Yin went to Nansmon Island again.
Lucia said that another construction team had dug up uranium ore, and the location was not far from the previous uranium mine.
This is good news, Luo Yin thinks that it is likely that there is a large uranium mine deep underground, or there are multiple uranium mines here.
Although uranium ore can be reused and may not be in short supply for the time being, when it gets bigger and bigger, one uranium ore alone will definitely not be enough. One is that the uranium mine is not too big. The second is that he can buy steamed stone with money, but he can't buy uranium ore, so he can only dig it himself.
Therefore, Luo Yin attaches great importance to this place.
Coming to Nansmon Island again, Luo Yin had just gotten off the boat, and before he went to the new uranium mine, John suddenly came to find him.
John was promoted by Luo Yin in his early years, and participated in the attack on Tudogan, serving as the deputy commander. Later, he was left behind by Luo Yin in Tudogan to manage the armed forces here, under the leadership of Lucia.
"Mr. Luo Yin, there has been news from Tudogan recently, I think you should be interested."
"Oh? What's the news?"
Luo Yin showed an interested look.
"Slaves from other Tudogan colonies, as well as rulers and commoners from the indigenous districts, have been contacting me that they want to be colonized by the Rose Corporation."
"Huh? Asking to be colonized by us?"
Luo Yin was a little surprised, and Lucia was also a little incredible.
Asking to be colonized? Is there such a person in this world?
"Yes, they all asked for it, and here's how it happened......
After listening to John's explanation, Luo Yin and Lucia glanced at each other, and they were a little crying and laughing. It can only be said that this thing sounds outrageous, but when you think about it, it is very reasonable.
When attacking Tudogan, Luo Yin took three areas, namely Dadan, Jilai, and Taben. Other areas are in the hands of colonial corporations and natives.
Luo Yin didn't have much ambition at that time, and the resources of these three regions were also rich enough, so Luo Yin didn't plan to attack other areas.
After taking these three areas, Luo Yin naturally began to open up here. Various investments have been made to invest in infrastructure, so that these three regions have developed well.
And it is said to be colonial, but Luo Yin did not let the Rose Company really treat these people as slaves, the Rose Company never forced them to work, and those who were willing to come to work were paid, and if they didn't want to come, they could not come, as long as you were not afraid of starvation.
At first, these local natives were somewhat resistant, but the armed forces of the Rose Company were very strong, and they couldn't resist at all, plus they went to work for the Rose Company to have food. A lot of people choose to come to work. They are ready to be squeezed.
But after working for a while, they find that things don't seem to be as bad as they thought.
The Rose Company doesn't play with words, they really pay salaries!
Although they were given Rose Coins, which could only be used within the confines of Rose Corporation, the things that Rose Coin could buy were much more abundant than what they could buy with their local currency!
I thought that Rose Coin was a restriction, but I didn't expect that as long as you don't go out of the scope of Rose Company, then this is not a restriction, but a benefit!
And most importantly
After converting the purchasing power of Rose Coins to the local currency, they found that they earned more wages per day when they were colonized than they were when they were not colonized!
That's outrageous!
Although after the colonization, there were more working hours, but this was all voluntary. As long as the money is in place and the working hours are not long, it is not a problem at all!
Not only are the wages higher, but they can also buy more things, and their living environment is also better - because Luo Yin attaches great importance to infrastructure and cultivating talents, there are a large number of steam cars, countless hardened roads, communities, shops, schools, bars, and various living facilities!
That's a lot more advanced than before!
Of course, being advanced also comes at a price.
For example, there are many rules and regulations to be followed, and those who used to be female offenders are now all banned, and even open defecation will be detained.
For example, if you want to get a better living environment, you have to move, and you have to buy a building built by the Rose Company.
But none of these problems are actually a problem.
No matter how many rules and regulations there are, just memorize and abide by them. In fact, they are not afraid of many rules, but they are afraid that there are no rules and the colonists will come in chaos.
As for the housing problem, Rose Company cooperated with Bauhinia Bank to launch a very intimate housing loan business.
Can't afford it now? It doesn't matter, just take a loan for decades! With only a small amount of money and part of the interest every month, you can live in a big house in a high-end community, and you can let your children receive higher education from the Kingdom of Qiongbi, and you can become a master!
Not only can you take out a loan to buy a house, but you can also take out a loan to buy a car. These natives never imagined that they, the colonized slaves, would one day be able to drive a steam car!
Therefore, after all these years of development, the situation of these three regions colonized by Luo Yin is much better than that of other regions. It could even be said that it is two worlds!
When the commoners of the indigenous areas find that their lives are not as good as those of the slaves of the Rose Company; When the colonized in the colonial area found that they were the only real slaves......
They were unbalanced, and they began to smuggle into the territory of the Rose Company.
The three areas colonized by the Rose Company must be short of people, so naturally those who come will not refuse.
The colonial corporations protested, but they couldn't beat the Rose Company, and the Rose Company ignored them.
Until now, smuggling is still common.
There is even an outrageous claim that the area ruled by the Rose Corporation is a paradise.
Now there are more and more people in these three districts, and fewer and fewer people in other districts.
The rulers of those indigenous areas feel that this is not the way, they have run away from the people in their hands, and if they don't think of a way, they will become alone!
Then they came up with a solution - join if they can't beat it!
Isn't it just colonized, and we can do it too!
