Zhulong Territory borders Gaoping County of Yanzhou. The governor's flying boat flew from Ninghe County in Yanzhou to Zhulong Territory. It only took three hours to enter the territory of Zhulong Territory.
Even if no one needs to remind him, the governor will know when Feizhou enters the Zhulong Territory.
A fleet of silver planes, nine in total, were arranged in a herringbone formation. At an altitude of more than 2,000 meters above the ground, in a neat formation, with the roar of the aircraft engines, they flew under the governor's airship. .
Compared with the airship, the speed and size of the aircraft were pitifully small, but when he saw the fleet of aircraft for the first time, the governor's attention was still attracted by the fleet of aircraft.
The Governor, who had just entered the Zhulong Territory, had been frowning slightly all the way, but his frown suddenly unfurled.
"Is that a plane that uses candle oil?" Lord Superintendent asked Gao Tianqi, his eyes staring at the plane in the clouds below the flying boat, his eyes shining brightly.
"Yes, that's a plane." Gao Tianqi was also on the flying boat and looked at the group of planes under the flying boat seriously. As the governor next to the governor, although he was nominally just the commander of the guards of the governor, in fact, because The Governor has always trained Gao Tianqi as the future governor, so Gao Tianqi actually works part-time as half of the Secretary of the Governor. He pays attention to the military and political affairs in the Northeast Governor's Mansion. Zhulong Leader has been paying attention to them in recent months. Gao Tianqi naturally had channels to get corresponding information about these things that happened, "This aircraft is the Air Cavalry 1 aircraft produced by Zhulong Territory. In the past two months, various cities in Zhulong Territory have built and renovated a number of aircraft that can be used at the same time." A general airport for taking off and landing airships and airplanes, there is also a flight school outside Xuantian City called the Air Cavalry Flying Academy, which has attracted a lot of young people in Youzhou to go crazy, and even young people from other states and counties have gone there. Learn to fly a plane…”
In this era, except for knights who can fly, no one else has the ability to fly. Therefore, allowing a person to fly in the sky while driving a machine alone is very attractive to young people.
"Flight school, where do their instructors come from?"
"I heard that they are recruited from airship crews who can fly gliders. The pay is good, and the control and flight principles of the aircraft are not much more complicated than flying a glider. As long as these people get familiar with it, they can try flying, by the way. Iron. The teaching material in Long Flight Academy is called "Flight Driving Manual", and I heard that it was written by Master Qianji himself."
The Governor was really surprised, "Zhang Tie still has such ability?"
"My lord, please don't forget that before coming to Taixia, in the fiercest battlefield against the demons in the Weiyi subcontinent, Qianji Zhenren had won the title of Eagle of Sernes before he could even advance to the level of a knight. , It is said that Qianji Zhenren was the only air cavalry on the battlefield at that time, and could fly the only artificially powered aircraft on the battlefield. Qianji Zhenren could protect the safety of an airship unit in the sky with one person at that time. He was Considered by many airship crews to be the protectors of the sky.”
If Gao Tianqi was still jealous of Zhang Tie when Zhang Tie was still a black iron knight, at this time, because the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger, when Zhang Tie is mentioned, Gao Tianqi can no longer even feel any jealousy in his heart. In my mind, I only have admiration.
"Come on, let's go down and take a look..." The governor became interested. He didn't care whether he was on the flying boat or not, he just wanted to get off the flying boat and take a look.
Faced with this situation, Gao Tianqi could only explain to the people on the flying boat. Then he followed the governor and flew off the flying boat.
…
In the sky below, the nine planes were flying. Suddenly, Cheng Honglie and Gao Tianqi flew down from above. He flew directly next to the leading aircraft, just a few meters away from the aircraft, and began to carefully look at the aircraft while flying, while mentally evaluating the performance and value of the aircraft in Zhulong's collar.
Fortunately, it was probably not the first time that the pilot of the plane encountered knights in the sky. Although the appearance of the two knights, Cheng Honglie and Gao Tianqi, surprised him, he quickly calmed down.
The pilot made a gesture. Other aircraft in the flight formation did not panic and flew as usual.
The leading plane is also the captain of this flight formation.
Just a few meters away, the crew member sitting in the shooting bay behind the cockpit of the first aircraft and controlling the crossbow weapon on the aircraft was only in his twenties and was watching the flight a few meters away with wide eyes. Cheng Honglie and Gao Tianqi outside the plane.
For ordinary warriors, seeing two knights flying so close to them is an experience that they don't often encounter.
Seeing that the flying formation did not panic after encountering the two knights, the Governor nodded secretly.
The Air Cavalry Type 1 flying in the sky at this time is, compared to the prototype originally flown by Zhang Tie, the seats in the cabin cover, the rear view mirror, the oxygen breathing system, and the steam power engine in the rear shooting compartment. There are some minor changes in details such as the crossbow style. These changes are all based on the large-scale training of the Air Cavalry Type 1 in the past two months and the opinions of pilots and shooters. These changes , and also finally determined the mass production form of the nine Aerial Cavalry Type 1 currently in the sky.
Just now, due to the angle of view in the sky, Master Duzai and Gao Tianqi did not see anything on the belly of these planes. Only when they got closer did they see the bottom of these nine planes, each of which was still hanging. Something similar to the white phosphorus gel incendiary bomb on an airship.
The plane was flying rapidly in the sky. Like Ninghe County, the ground under the Zhulong Territory was also golden. At this time, the Zhulong Territory was also at the time of summer harvest.
This year's summer harvest in Ninghe County has turned into a fire burning on the fertile land, while the summer harvest in Zhulong collar is in full swing. At a time when food prices are rising, this year's good harvest in Zhulong collar has made Whether it is the wealthy families in the cities or the ordinary people in the farms, they are all smiling and full of energy, as if they have not been affected by the outside world at all.
There is a busy harvesting scene in the farmland. Only when they see the plane flying over in the sky, those harvesting in the farmland will raise their heads, wipe their sweat, and wave to the plane in the sky. Or cheer.
In the past half month, the Governor has traveled by flying boat to all the major grain-producing areas in all states, counties, and counties in the Northeast Governor's Mansion except Youzhou. In the past half month, all the Governor has seen is a gloomy and miserable state. The situation, this year's summer grain harvest in various places was completely large-scale and catastrophic. Faced with this scene, both officials and ordinary people in various places were trembling with fear and sorrow all day long. Suddenly they came to the Zhulong Territory. Seeing this vibrant and hopeful scene in the Zhulong Territory, the Governor felt that his mood suddenly improved.
Although there were two more uninvited guests who were observing closely, the nine Air Cavalry Type 1 aircraft in formation still adhered to their flight routes without any impact.
After flying for more than an hour, the nine planes had flown over Wugong City and Dongyang City, and then entered the Yangui Mountains. They flew over the Yangui Mountains for more than half an hour, covering an area of hundreds of kilometers. , in addition to soil, stones, and a small amount of shrubs and weeds, a valley appeared below the flying formation.
It can be seen from the sky that on a piece of ground in the valley, someone seems to have drawn a huge circular area with a diameter of several hundred meters with lime. On the other side of this circular area, about 30 meters away from the circular area A few kilometers away, there were many people in military uniforms waiting on a hillside.
When the nine planes came to the sky above this valley, all the planes were like vultures hunting for prey. As soon as their wings turned, the entire formation suddenly divided into two groups, roaring, from an altitude of several thousand meters. Rapidly swooping down.
When the two groups of planes were hundreds of meters away from the circular area, the white phosphorus gel bomb-like thing hanging under the belly of each plane suddenly fell off from the bottom of the belly and headed towards the one on the ground. The circular area flew away. When those things were still dozens of meters high from the ground, all the thrown things emitted a ball of fire. In the blink of an eye, a heat wave shot up into the sky, covering the entire huge circular area with a diameter of several hundred meters. Most of it was suddenly covered in scorching flames. The land, weeds, and even stones in the white circle were burning violently. The grass and trees turned into ashes and disappeared during the burning, and the stones were burning. It disintegrates, the soil hardens during the burning, and within the central area of the white circle, the air becomes thin and boiling due to the surrounding burning...
When those planes began to swoop down, Cheng Honglie and Gao Tianqi had already stopped in the sky. In fact, when they saw the huge white circle on the ground, they knew what these planes were for. Yes.
This seemed to be a live-fire attack drill. What the two people did not expect was that the result of this drill was astonishing. Nine incendiary bombs dropped by nine planes suddenly destroyed the circle on the ground. It turned into purgatory. Even at an altitude of several thousand meters, the two of them could feel the heat wave rising from the ground.
Ordinary white phosphorus gel bombs have absolutely no such power, nor are their burning effects as powerful. The nine planes just dropped them were not white phosphorus gel bombs, but a type of gel bomb that was more powerful than white phosphorus gel bombs. An incendiary bomb with greater power, such an incendiary bomb has never been seen in Taixia before...
