On the 5th, this was the originally scheduled Army Founding Day.
On the fifth day, the entire Quancheng County was already crowded with people.
It is no exaggeration to say that the red flag is waving and the gongs and drums are noisy.
Troops from various regions from all over Quancheng County have arrived in scattered pieces and are stationed here.
The total number of people is 1.6 million.
The people throughout Dongzhou were all excited, and various capitalists began to do business. Wherever there are people, there is money. This is an iron rule.
No army can enter Quancheng County, and no one dares to enter.
At the gate of Quancheng County, all kinds of firepower were stationed to strictly guard against it. There was a solemn atmosphere. No one can enter, and no one can come out. At this critical time, security is extremely strict.
"Didn't you mean No. 5? Why is there no movement at all today?"
"changed."
"What? Changed it?"
"Changed to number ten."
"Why did it change again? Why does it keep changing for such a grand event?"
"I don't know. I heard that they are waiting for some special force to participate in the Army Day. But the people inside can't get out, and the people outside don't know what's going on inside. Anyway, the people above must have their own plans."
"Oh, we came all the way here. It seems we can't show our faces."
"It's good to come and see the excitement."
“…”
In Quancheng County, on the fifth day, the name of the new country was finally determined.
As soon as Li Zhen made the decision, the entire Kyushu Party responded immediately:
"Our country is called "New Kyushu"."
"Okay, let's call it New Kyushu."
"After much discussion, we still can't come up with a solution, so let's just decide."
"New Kyushu is good. The meaning is good. It creates a new era, a new atmosphere, a new Kyushu, and a new country."
"I should have chosen New Kyushu a long time ago. It has a good meaning, is simple and easy to remember, and is more domineering."
“The more meaningful thing is the most important thing.”
“…”
The national flag of New Kyushu was also decided by the vote of the art masters in the Kyushu Party and the entire party.
A very simple national flag, but its meaning is extremely profound.
The entire flag is red and has nine rings. The rings are interlocked, and each ring is interlocked to form a large circle.
The nine rings represent Kyushu.
Each ring is exactly the same. No ring is special. No ring alone represents a state. Each ring can represent any state. Because the meaning of this circle is ninetuplets.
Nine brothers and sisters hugged each other and no one could break them apart.
Linked together.
On this day, all members of the Jiuzhou Party are in high spirits, feeling endless hope for the coming new country, new era, and new life, and are full of endless wild thoughts.
Du Taiping and others were also excited. I wish I could show my arms and roll up my sleeves, and immediately come to power and do something great.
——
Laoshan.
The best craftsmen in the entire East Continent are all gathered here. Dafeng Tower was surrounded by heavy troops and became an extremely confidential place.
The Kyushu Academy of Sciences took the lead, mobilized all labor and machinery, and began to work overtime to build the airship.
Liu Jinghong has already gone back to take charge of the overall situation. The founding day of the army has been postponed for the sake of the airship. This matter is of great importance.
This Army Founding Day is a military parade of the Dongzhou Army.
The significance of the military parade is to allow all troops in all regions of New Kyushu to see the new atmosphere of New Kyushu in the future. And the powerful armed forces of New Kyushu in the future.
Because the current equipment of the Dongzhou Army will be equipped to the entire army in the future.
Liu Jinghong held several documents and pencils in his hands and kept running around various factories:
"The selection of airbag materials must be strictly controlled. The airbag is a top priority, and there cannot be any sloppiness."
"The military parade is on the 10th, but actually we have to complete it before the 8th. It still takes two days to prepare."
"The most important thing is that the airship fleet is a fleet. It must fly uniformly in the sky and form a square formation. We also need to cultivate the pilot's driving skills."
"Time is running out!"
“…”
On the seaside of Gale Tower, the finished product of the only airship has never come down from the sky.
Ten pilots were carefully selected.
Each of the ten pilots is less than 1.65 meters tall and weighs less than 100 kilograms.
This is because the load of the airship is limited, and the driver's weight accounts for a large part of the weight, so it is necessary to choose a thin and flexible one from the beginning.
Ten pilots were on board the airship. In the cockpit, everyone learns flying skills from Zhang Zixiao, the first pilot in Kyushu, and everyone becomes proficient together. Let’s study flying skills together.
Because other airships have not yet been manufactured, none of the ten pilots have their own airships. But they can't stop their desire for flying and their dream of the blue sky. Twenty-four hours a day, everyone eats, drinks, and eats on the airship.
The stability of the airship was immediately apparent.
The reason why an airship flies or hovers in the sky does not consume any energy at all. It can operate for long periods of time.
The only thing consumed is fuel for forward momentum. This is an extremely economical super weapon.
"Everyone, hold on to the safety pins. We're going to make a dive."
A pilot put on his goggles and a gas mask to protect against cold air, and said in a loud voice.
Everyone on the airship tightly grasped the safety bolt and waited with bated breath.
'buzz'
The engine howled. The airship suddenly moved downwards and dived towards the sea.
Everyone's adrenaline surged at the feeling of weightlessness, and many people even screamed.
Only Zhang Zixiao sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and said in a deep voice: "As the first batch of pilots in history, you must adapt to the blue sky and overcome your fear of heights."
"Yes! Captain Zhang!"
"You have to adapt to all difficult operations. You even have to learn to avoid maneuvers."
"Team Zhang, what is avoidance maneuver?"
"At this point, we have to talk about the disadvantages of airships. They cannot see fire and have almost no defensive capabilities. If the flying altitude is too low, the enemy below will use crossbows to shoot burning arrows up. Because the target of the airship is large, There is almost no chance of missing the target. Therefore, as soon as the arrow hits the hull of the airship, the hydrogen gas inside will detonate, and it will explode and destroy on the spot. Therefore, each of you must understand the disadvantages, overcome the disadvantages, and learn difficult operations. , you must learn to avoid maneuvers.”
"In this case, it would be nice if we didn't fly so low."
"There are times, there are situations. We have to fly low, it's unavoidable."
Everyone studied and discussed together.
In this era where there are no flying pioneers at all, everyone can only cross the river by feeling the stones.
Experienced hot air balloon operators and paraglider operators are constantly invited to ask for advice on things high in the air. Continuous progress.
They were the world's first pilots. The experience they have gained through research can be said to be knowledge gained through real hard work...
