Zhang Zixiao shouted: "Let's start."
Then, he walked into the cockpit and pressed the engine start button deeply.
'cluster cluster'
'Boom boom boom... '
A cloud of black smoke came out of the exhaust pipe of the internal combustion engine, and it roared.
Ignition started successfully.
Zhang Zixiao picked up Yi Sha and shouted: "Untie the chains!"
The people below stood on the scaffolding and took off the chain hook that hooked the airship.
At the same time, Zhang Zixiao suddenly threw down the bag of sand on his shoulder.
'bang'
As the sandbags landed, the airship began to slowly float into the sky.
The sudden floating in the air made Zhang Zixiao unsteady. He quickly grabbed the guardrail, then got into the cockpit and fastened his seat belt.
In front of it is a shelf with no windshield in front. Completely convertible.
Seeing the ground getting farther and farther through the cockpit, Zhang Zixiao took a deep breath and pushed the push rod forward.
'Ang ang ang;'
The engine roared, and the propeller behind the airship suddenly began to rotate at high speed.
As the propeller rotated, the airship ascended and began to fly forward at a speed of about thirty kilometers an hour.
Everyone below saw the oval-shaped airship flying diagonally upward like an arrow piercing the clouds. Exclaimed.
"Success!"
"The airship that can control its direction independently is a success!"
"The airship can completely ignore strong winds. The experiment was successful."
“…”
After Zhang Zixiao experienced the initial nervousness, he became excited.
Conquer the sky!
The real conquest of the sky begins.
After reaching an altitude of three to five hundred meters, Zhang Zixiao did not dare to fly upward. After releasing some hydrogen from the auxiliary airbag, the airship was completely suspended in the air. The buzzing sound of engines kept coming from the air.
Everyone looked up at the sky with envy. The yellow airship kept jumping up and down, making many changes.
Flying up for a while, flying down for a while.
For a while it was spinning in the air, and for a while it was swooping over the mountains and coasts.
Like a big bird, so uncomfortable.
The speed of the airship exceeded everyone's imagination.
The power of an internal combustion engine in the air is beyond everyone's imagination.
After testing, its top speed can reach 60 kilometers an hour. This is an incredible speed, faster than a galloping horse or even a steam car on the ground.
Best of all, it walks a straight line in the air. Completely ignoring geography.
In fact, the rudder and wings equipped at the rear end of the airship can also replace many ascending and descending conditions. Instead of releasing hydrogen to land, you only need to adjust the rudder and push it through the engine to complete its downward flight. The action of flying upward.
It only needs to keep the internal pressure constant, that's all.
There's nothing technical about it.
If airships require technology, then the core technologies are actually engines and propellers.
The principle is extremely simple. But the effect is huge.
Like a flying bird, like a flying dragon.
Kyushu people completed the first step to conquer the blue sky...
When Zhang Zixiao successfully landed at the predetermined location, the entire Laoshan Mountain cheered.
——
"Master Li, there is a telegram from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences."
"read."
"Here, Master Li, the airship has been successfully developed. The first test flight was completed by Zhang Zixiao of the Aviation Academy. The test flight lasted for one hour and successfully took off and landed. The maximum speed is 60 kilometers per hour. It is highly flexible and has basically achieved the expected results."
Li Zhen stood up from his seat and said in surprise: "It's successful. It's so fast! A few days ago, only the internal combustion engine was successful, and today the airship is also successful! Okay, okay, okay. We are one step ahead of the world again, The age of aviation is about to begin.”
"Call back. Here, Kyushu Academy of Sciences, Li Zhen is deeply pleased. He will immediately enter the data completion stage. In addition, he hopes to build ten airships as soon as possible to participate in the army building."
Build an army
All the people discussing in the conference hall stopped and looked at Li Zhen in astonishment.
They all heard the telegram message, and they all saw Li Zhen's excitement and ecstasy.
Some people wonder what an airship is? Ten airships are actually coming to join the army building
The telegraph operator went back to send the message.
Li Zhen rubbed his hands excitedly. When he looked at the time, it was already the third day. There are still two days left, I'm afraid it's too late.
With a big wave of his hand, he clapped his hands and said, "The Army's Founding Day will be on the 10th!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
What's going on? On Army Founding Day, the date was actually changed because of this airship
What on earth is this airship
Li Zhen took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement and said: "Our party is building an army. If we want to build it, we will build the three armies!"
Du Taiping asked: "It's the three armies originally."
Li Zhen laughed loudly: "No, no. Our party builds three armies, not the front army, the middle army, and the rear army."
Du Taiping said: "I know. Aren't the three armies just the cavalry, infantry, and navy? There are already three armies."
Li Zhen showed a smile, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice:
"No, I'm talking about the three armed forces."
"ocean!"
"land!"
"null!"
'Buzz-' The venue exploded.
null
Army and Navy can understand, what is Air Force
Is it really an army that appears in the blue sky
Is such a fantasy army possible
The three armies... do you mean these three armies
Li Zhen laughed. Extremely excited: "From now on, our country will have three real armies. They are the navy, the army, and the air force. On the founding day of the Army, the Chinese air force will definitely appear in the entire venue, and everyone will see that we can conquer the blue sky."
At this time, some people asked: "Party leader, what exactly is Army Day?"
Li Zhen smiled and said nothing.
Someone else asked: "Master Li, on Army Founding Day, will the armies of each state be unveiled?"
Li Zhen shook his head.
This time, even Du Taiping was surprised. His troops from the Xinyuan Kingdom were also on their way to Quancheng County. Everyone subconsciously thinks that building an army should mean that the troops of various forces show up and then rearrange themselves. This is called building an army.
But now it seems... no.
To be honest, Li Zhen only had a vague concept of building an army before this. But after the founding of the party, he became completely clear about his thinking. I wanted to tell everyone, but seeing people from all forces rushing to Quancheng County, it seemed that I didn't need to summon them in advance now. I didn’t say anything.
And now, the time has come to speak out.
Li Zhen smiled and said: "The so-called building an army means establishing a true sharp knife that belongs to our country. The responsibilities are clear and the entire army is united. The chaos of one state and one army in nine states is completely ended. From then on, there are only three armies in the entire country. Navy, Army, Air Force.”
"All infantry, cavalry, explosive battalions, artillery battalions, and fire gun troops in the entire Kyushu. They all belong to the army."
"The navies and fleets in all regions of Kyushu are all affiliated with the navy."
"The entire force in the blue sky of Kyushu is all air force!"
"The establishment of an army is not about establishing a new army. It is about establishing a new system. I don't need troops from all parties to come to Quancheng County. I just will issue this regulation on the day of the establishment of the army."
Army Day is a day to establish a new system. It is not about letting all forces show their faces.
There is no showing of face in front of the Dongzhou Army.
Li Zhen smiled brightly and said softly: "But now the Kyushu Academy of Sciences has successfully developed an airship. I changed my mind temporarily. On Army Day, I want to have a military parade!"
parade
All forces are gearing up again. In the end, we still need to show our faces.
But Li Zhen went on to say:
"People from various states do not need to participate. This military parade will be completed by the entire Dongzhou Army for the time being."
"ah?"
"Both the rain and the dew are wet, Party leader!"
“…”
The corner of Li Zhen's mouth curled up: "What is to be inspected is the most cutting-edge force in our Dongzhou. It is not a person. It is not a force. Sooner or later, the equipment of the Dongzhou Army will cover all the armies in the entire Kyushu. There is no regional distinction. Only the three armies are divided. I hope you will give up the idea of being in the limelight, because from now on... the great unity of Kyushu. Including the army!"
