On June 2o, 19o7 (the thirty-third year of Guangxu), Neijiang, Sichuan.

"Look, there's a monster in the sky......"

"Oh my God, what's that......"

This morning, the people in Neijiang County suddenly appeared in the sky with a monster. The monster was round, like a giant olive, with a few small wings on its tail.

People immediately panicked, many people ran home, and some knelt directly on the ground and worshiped the monster. There are also some brave people who have been observing this monster. These people looked at it for a while, and now that this thing did not show any hostility, they were even more bold.

"Could it be that this is Kunpeng?" said a scholar who looked like a scholar.

Someone retorted: "Cut, how can there be such a Kunpeng? I think this is the chaotic ...... in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"Snort, a group of dirt buns, what Kunpeng, chaos, this is clearly airship, spaceship ......" A fake foreign devil in a suit and leather shoes looked at this group of people with disdain, and sneered unceremoniously: "Hmph, this is the most advanced thing in the world, only foreigners can make it, you dirt buns have never heard of it at all......"

In the Yali of Neijiang County, it is also a chaos.

Several officials stared at the airship in horror, and kept making sounds of unknown meaning such as oh oh ahhhh

"What are you doing?" a majestic voice sounded.

When the officials looked back, it turned out to be their boss, Xie Zhihui, the new Neijiang County Commander. They hurriedly called a thousand, and pointed to the sky: "Lord County, Lord County, Lord Heaven...... There's a monster in the sky......"

Xie Zhihui looked up, turned his face away, and reprimanded: "What monster, this is the airship of Xingke Company." Don't you see the star sign on that airship?"

The officials hurriedly looked carefully, and sure enough, as the county lord said, there was a huge rotating galaxy logo on both sides of the airship airbag.

"Oh, it's a sign of the star family, spinning the galaxy ......"

"The county lord is really rich in five cars, I admire ......"

"Lord Xianzun is so powerful, you can recognize what this thing is at a glance......"

The officials suddenly surged with rhetoric and slapped their ass.

"Go and do your own thing, don't be around here, since it's an airship of Xingke Company, there will be time to watch it in the future...... Oh, by the way, you go and call some people, go to the city and explain that this is an airship, so that people don't panic, go and ......" Xie Zhihui waved his hand, and the officials immediately dispersed.

Xie Zhihui took over in March this year, and although the predecessor Zhang Xianling had only been in office for more than a year, he was said to have been excellent in the evaluation and was promoted by the imperial court in advance and promoted to Zhongzhou Prefecture. From the seventh grade to the sixth grade, this is indeed a promotion, but when Zhang Xianling handed over, he was so frustrated that he was about to cry. One is the magistrate of a fertile place, and the other is a fellow magistrate of a poor place, and fools know what to choose.

But Zhang Xianling's backstage was not as hard as Qingna's company, so he had to leave with resentment. Zhang Xianling didn't know that his suffering had just begun. Chungju, that's the Dabasan area......

As for the newcomer Xie Zhihui County Order, the information on the resume of the Ministry of Officials is as follows: his ancestral home is Jinjiang, Fujian, he studied in Europe 6 as a teenager, graduated from a certain school in France, and donated a tribute after returning to China last year......

Well, this new county magistrate is not unusual from his resume, he is an ordinary donor official, and as for gilding abroad, it has also been common in recent years. However, he also has an identity that only the top leaders of the Star Branch know, a spy-type high-level cyborg.

In fact, there is definitely more than one Xie Zhihui buried in the inner line of the Neijiang County Ya, and the main Bo and the classic history are also divided together this time, except for one county official, the four court officials in the county Yali are all biochemical people of Mr. Wen.

As for the following department leaders who have real power and do all the specific things, such as the inspection of the inspection department of Zhenmu Town, the warden of the sixth room of the county government, and the head catcher and team leader of the third class of officials, they have also been replaced by Xingke Company with cyborgs or irons in this time and space. Even the three classes of officials and the clerks below have been replaced, and more than half of them are either cyborgs or local natives who have completely defected to the Xingke, such as the few officials who watched the airship just now, all of whom have families working in the company.

The appointment and dismissal of these minor officials do not need to go through the guò ministry, and they are nominally appointed and dismissed by the state and county yamen themselves. But in fact, this is not the case, these positions are often held by the local gentry and power, and many places have become hereditary, and it is not uncommon for hundreds or even thousands of years of Xu official families. The state and county officials had no way to deal with them, so the grassroots power in the Ming and Qing dynasties was basically in the hands of the officials, and the officials and lords were personal stamps. Most of the state and county officials are scholars, and they have no management experience at all, so it's strange that they can't play with these old fritters.

But when I got here, the officials near Neijiang were unlucky, Mr. Wen was not a virgin, his discipline had never been high, and he had never had a good impression of these gentlemen, so where would he be polite?

Those who are willing to cooperate and give up their positions are enough, and they can also get a lot of compensation, as for those who are unwilling to cooperate, they have encountered all kinds of "accidents", either a fire in the home, or a fall into the water, or a traffic accident, or a bandit attack, or because of various crimes, they were killed by the government, anyway, all the houses and fields left behind belonged to the Xingke Company or the names of people who did not exist in Zài, and even some of the factory shares that were originally distributed were also recovered.

Not only the Yamen of Neijiang County, but also the Yamen of the entire neighboring counties such as Zizhou and Weiyuan have all been done like this. Not only did he control the yamen in these areas in his own hands, but he also got more than 16o acres of land by the way. Correspondingly, the number of gentry and heroes in Zizhou and other places is less than a quarter.

Hak Ma Industrial Zone, Airship Factory.

In the sky above the mooring area of the factory, the airship that caused a sensation in the Neijiang River was slowly descending. All the engineers and workers of the airship factory were looking up, all of them elated.

As soon as the airship stopped, Lin Shenhe, who was wearing a flight suit, jumped out laughing: "Hahahaha, it's great! It's great! This airship is much stronger than Brother Zeppelin." No matter the design, process, performance, operability is far more than ah...... Hey, let me go, ah......"

"Oh oh oh, it's successful!! it's successful!! excited crowd rushed over, lifting Lin Shenhe and the other two test pilots up and throwing them into the sky.

It's no wonder they are excited, this is flying, how many years of human dreams have been realized, and now they are actually realizing in their hands.

When the crowd had enough and calmed down, he ran to the airship and began to check. Lin Shenhe was also freed from the hands of countless demons.

"Director Lin, congratulations on your successful test flight!" Wen Desi smiled and gave Lin Shenhe a hug.

After the others stepped forward, they returned to the airship factory conference room.

"What do you think of this airship?" asked Wendesi.

Lin Shenhe opened a notebook and said: "According to the table of this test flight, our airship has been completely successful. According to the actual test, its ceiling is 27oo meters, the maximum degree is 7o km / h, the cruising degree is 5o km / h, the maximum endurance time is 8 hours, and the maximum payload is 136o kg ......"

This type of airship is a soft manned airship designed by a Chinese company in the early 21st century.

The main numbers of this airship, named "Fuyun Type 1", are as follows: the length of the boat is 5o meters, the maximum diameter is 13 meters, the volume of the airbag is 365o cubic meters, and the volume ratio of the auxiliary airbag is 25%. The pod is 7 meters long, the cabin is 5 meters long and 2 meters wide. 4 meters, 2 meters wide in the cabin, 2 meters high in the main pod (excluding landing gear) 2. 2 meters, cabin height 1. 8 meters. The motor pods are located on either side of the rear of the main pod and are powered by two 15 hp liquid-cooled gasoline engines, twin propeller drives. In addition to 2 drivers, it is possible to take 1o passengers, or carry 12oo kg of cargo.

The generation difference of more than 1oo years is not covered, although in addition to the equipment of the times, this airship is also far beyond the original similar at this stage, and the design concept is worlds apart. The most important difference is that this airship is filled with helium instead of the current mainstream hydrogen, which avoids the biggest danger of the airship. A helium airship like this is definitely the safest aircraft in the world, and even if there is an accident, unless all the airbags are blown out, it will only fall slowly, and will not play free fall like an airplane.

Of course, compared with the same kind of hydrogen, the only disadvantage of the helium airship is that the amount of helium is too small, which is much more difficult to get than the hydrogen of the big road. In fact, if you put it in the whole universe, helium is quite a lot, accounting for 23% of the total mass, second only to hydrogen, but this thing is rare on the earth, it belongs to the rare gas.

Anyone who has studied high school chemistry knows that hydrogen is a very readily available gas, and there are at least dozens of ways to produce it in large quantities. Helium, on the other hand, is an inert gas, which is difficult to produce compounds, and has a low level in the atmosphere, only about five parts per million, and the yield is quite pitiful.

At this time, the only place where helium could be produced on a large scale was the United States. No way, people's territory is too good, and the helium content in natural gas is 1 on average. 5%, many can reach 7%, and the highest even reaches 17%, which makes other countries so jealous that they can't cry. (Most of the helium content in China's gas fields is in O.) Less than 2%, the highest is not more than 5%)

Of course, since Mr. Wen wanted to play airship, of course, to ensure the supply of helium resources, after the Zenith Company gained a foothold in the United States, it began to acquire several gas wells with the highest helium content in Kansas and Texas. In this era, except for various universities, laboratories and other research institutions, helium is almost useless, no one pays attention to it at all, and the price is unbelievably cheap. At the same time, natural gas in this era was rarely used, basically for street lamps and household fuel.

So Banazal bought it without much thought, and transferred a set of patents and processes for oil refining equipment in the 2O years to Mr. Rockefeller, and everyone was happy. Among them was the Amarillo City in northern Texas, a helium field with a helium content of more than 15%, which was coveted by Wendesi at this time, and Banazal bought it and built an LNG processing plant to supply helium to the headquarters. As for the rest of the gas, it is not easy to ship it back now, so it is sold in the United States by the way.

Since the end of February this year, Banazal began to transport helium to China, in order to facilitate transportation, the use of low-temperature liquefaction technology in this era, one cubic of liquid helium is equal to 763 cubic meters of helium at room temperature, the use of this compression ratio, transportation can be much easier. He also set up a group of cryogenic tanks near the airship factory to store liquid helium. Up to today, 33o cubic meters of liquid helium have been stored in the company, which is equivalent to more than 250,000 cubic meters of helium, which is enough for airships.

After listening to Lin Shenhe's report, Wen Desi nodded and said, "Director Lin, the success of Fuyun Type 1 is worth celebrating. However, you still have more important tasks, and I hope you will make persistent efforts to complete the finalization of the [Qingyun-type] large cargo airship as soon as possible, and what we need most now is this large cargo airship......"

Fuyun 1 is just a toy used by the airship factory to practice, and the [Qingyun Series] large cargo airship is their real product. The 3o-ton cloud ray-1 type that Lin Shenhe saw at the earliest was one of the [Qingyun series], but it was not too big in this series.

Mr. Wen has always felt that for the current China, the airship is the best means of transportation. China's terrain is relatively poor, two-thirds of it is mountainous and hilly, and half of the remaining area is either dense forests or water networks, there are not many decent plains, and the transportation construction is so poor that people want to cry without tears.

The railroad is good, but this thing is expensive and long-lasting, and it can't be built everywhere. The highway is not much better, the Red Dynasty of the original time and space is the level of love to build roads, and it took more than 7o years to repair the roads in most towns and villages in the country.

Against this backdrop, airships come to the fore. Although the airship flies slower than the airplane, it is also flying, and it can completely ignore the terrain, and the airship is a vertical take-off and landing, which has very low requirements for the take-off and landing site, and the carrying capacity is incomparable to that of the aircraft. In the southwestern region, where the terrain is so complex that it makes people vomit, it is simply an artifact-like storage zài.

As for security, Wen Deji has never been worried. In fact, from the analysis of the world's air crash records, even a hydrogen airship is much safer than an airplane, and a strange character like the Hindenburg is considered to be one in a million. But even if the Hindenburg accident killed about 36 of the 97 passengers and crew, please note that it was 1oo meters in the air. If it were an airplane, none of these 97 people would survive.

Moreover, Xingke Company's airship has also adopted a large number of safety designs from later generations, such as various fire and explosion-proof measures to increase meteorological observations. If this is not as safe as the airplane, the airship experts of later generations can also go to hanging. In addition, the airship is used to transport more goods and less people, so that in case of a major accident with a lost character, there will not be too many worries about human life.

In addition, Wen Desi also has a consideration, that is, it is used for transportation construction. Generally speaking, when the foundation conditions are extremely poor, you can only start from the starting point and build all the way through. If the conditions at the end point are good, at most it will be a two-way advance. This is due to the fact that the intermediate site has no materials for construction, so it can only be watched dry. That's why the earlier and more inhospitable the road, the slower it will be.

But if there is an airship to transport personnel and materials, the situation is very different, and it is completely possible to start construction in multiple stages at the same time, as long as the manpower and materials are sufficient, it is normal for the construction progress to be ten times faster. Let's start work at the same time at 30 points, and if it's not enough, it can be increased!

As for other uses, of course, it is to deliver goods to Kyodo Agency.

....................................................................................

"Director Lin, the successful test flight of the airship is worth congratulating, so how is the progress of the plane?" asked Wen Desi again. Xingke Aircraft Factory not only builds airships, but also airplanes.

"Airplane, oh, it's almost ready, now wait for the machine to produce the gasoline engine, the fuselage we have already produced more than 5o, and the propeller has also prepared 2oo pairs, as long as the motive is in place, it can be assembled...... Lin Shenhe paused and said very seriously. "Mr. Wen, I don't think there is a need to produce too much of a toy-like thing like an airplane, our company should still focus on airships, and the production of airplanes is a waste of resources......

Wen Deji frowned and said slowly: "Although the current plane is still just a toy, it will also be exhibited, and the airship is also exhibited from a hot air balloon?"

In fact, Lin Shenhe's idea was not strange at that time, this was the mainstream view. Not to mention the people at that time, even if it was Wen Dehei from later generations, after seeing several so-called "most advanced" planes imported from Europe and the United States for reference, they were also scorched by thunder.

This Nimana is an airplane? It's clearly a flying wooden box or a flying frame!

Of course, this kind of thing is not worth it, but due to the constraints of materials, equipment and other aspects, even if there is a full set of drawings of 22nd century aircraft in the database, there is no way to realize it. Not to mention the 22nd century, even the planes after the middle of the 2O century cannot be made now.

As a result, the biochemical engineers under Mr. Wen could only lower the requirements again and again, and finally used the powerful computing power of the base's main control optical brain "Xiao Fei", combined the current conditions and production technology, and finally chose an aircraft that can be manufactured now as the main product at this stage.

The blueprint for this aircraft comes from the original space-time Soviet Union's Wave 2 biplane trainer, which is the most produced biplane, and although it is a product of the 2o's era, the technology is standard World War I. After optimizing the design, it can also be made with the strength of Xingke.

Well, in fact, from Mr. Wen's point of view, even this magic modified wave 2 aircraft can only be regarded as a "flying wooden box", but this wooden box is good as a thing for training and training.
