Chapter 183 Battle of Xuzhou
Wan Jun was a little incredible and unconsciously stared at him with wide eyes.
But it is true that in the gate of the Huaxia Science Institute, an airplane is parked in the courtyard on the southwest side.
A real plane with a suffix on its nose and two wings stretching out, full of the atmosphere of the industrial age!
Wan Jun hurriedly ran closer and took a closer look. As the distance got closer, the plane saw more and more clearly, and the wheels, tail wings, wings, and cockpit were all revealed.
Wanjun breathed a little heavier. In the late Ming Dynasty, if an aircraft was studied, relying solely on this technology, let alone the Hu people, the Chinese army around the world would be enough to beat all opponents for two hundred years.
After looking around the plane twice, Wan Jun found something was wrong, so he reached out and touched it and knocked it, "It's wood?"
Looking at the wheels below, they were also made of wood. Wan Jun came to his senses, "Is this a model aircraft?"
The people who were greeting behind him did not know what a model aircraft was. The leader said, "This is done by the crew, and they said they wanted to fly to the sky."
Wan Jun glanced at the man, "Who are you, where are Wang Lihui?"
The man lowered his eyebrows and said with a pleasing look, "Minister Wang took people to Chang'an, the youngest one was called Wu Jibei."
Wan Jun said, "Where are the people in the aircraft crew?"
Soon all the people from the Academy of Sciences rushed over, and several people from the crew stood in front, Wan Jun pointed at the aircraft model, "What are you doing to build such a big model?"
Several people in the crew looked at each other, and one of them said, "This is all about making something that can fly into the sky according to the command of the head of state."
Wan Jun said, "Then can the thing you made fly?"
The man explained, "This was done according to the head of state's drawings. After it was done, it was found that it could not fly, so we made new ones."
Wan Jun said, "It's simply a waste of scientific research funds! Can new ones fly?"
The man nodded, "Can fly."
He waved to the people in the airplane crew, and several people pushed out something from the warehouse. Wan Jun was surprised when he saw it. The familiar shape was clearly a glider!
Wan Jun said incrediblely, "This is what you thought of? Can you fly after experimenting?"
The man nodded and said, "Can fly"
Then he turned around, clasped his fists at the people of the many aircraft crews, and said with a tragic look on his face, "I'll go test flights for the head of state."
Everyone was full of grief, and some even began to cry, "Captain Yang!"
"Brother Yang Ren, please go!"
"Brother Yang, I will help you raise your wife and children."
Wan Jun said, "Why just try a glider? Is it necessary to be so separated from life and death?"
The crew pushed the glider to the west of the courtyard, where a slope was built. Yang Ren clasped his fists at everyone and turned around to the glider.
Everyone pushed hard, and the glider rushed down the slope. As the speed gradually accelerated, the glider left the ground under the action of the wind, flew out obliquely, and then crossed a low altitude of dozens of meters, and rushed towards the ground.
Wan Jun instantly understood why Yang Ren looked tragic and rushed over to save the person with his men.
When I ran closer, I found that most of the structure of the entire glider was made of wood and had been broken. Yang Ren was lying among the fragments without any movement.
Everyone pulled away the wreckage of the glider while calling Yang Ren. They rescued Yang Ren and found that the clothes on their bodies were leached with bleeding. They reached out to find that they could breathe, but they could no longer breathe.
Wan Jun asked someone to put Yang Ren flat on the ground. He learned CPR by himself and pressed Yang Ren's chest. After a while, Yang Ren took a breath and gradually woke up.
come over.
After sending Yang Ren to treatment, he said, "Thank God, it's much better than the last few times. The guy who tested that flight was pierced by fragments in his chest."
Wan Jun said to everyone in the airplane, "What are you doing? People are not so bloody when wearing clothes to glide."
Everyone was speechless, and someone said, "It's not difficult to fly. The key is to land. The support rod of the wheel cannot hold on at all, and it will hit the ground."
Wan Jun said, "Will you not make the entire bracket iron?"
"It's too heavy to fly!"
Wan Jun shook his head and was immediately indifferent to the lack of interest in running aircraft in the late Ming Dynasty. "Dissolve the aircraft crew and cut off all the funds!"
The crew members were surprised, "First of the People, then we?"
Everyone in the Academy of Sciences knew that Wang Amao was expelled from the Academy of Sciences. In order to prevent leaks, Wan Jun directly killed Wang Amao. What the people in this crew knew would never be allowed to be leaked.
Wan Jun said, "You all go to the firearm factory to build muskets!"
After coming out of the aircraft crew, Wan Jun remembered that the tank team was established at the same time as the aircraft crew, and he went to the tank team with a little hope.
When he arrived at the tank team, Wan Jun comforted himself in his heart. Fortunately, there was no wooden tank model at the door of the tank team.
However, after entering the door of the tank group, Wan Jun was also shocked. A huge tank, probably similar to a giant excavator, surrounded by thick iron wheels, and a cannon was placed in it.
Wan Junqi said, "Can this thing move?"
The tank team said, "It's still being studied, but this tank is definitely invulnerable. Our iron sheet has been bombarded with guns. Even if it hits the front, it won't hurt the people inside."
Wan Jun said with heart, if you use iron to pile it up, it would be strange if you can penetrate it in this era, but this is not a tank, it is just a pile of iron, it would be strange if you can move it. "Where is the steam engine? Didn't you mean to use the steam engine as power? Have you tried it?"
"I tried it, and the steam engine is placed behind the cannon!"
Only then did Wan Jun realize that a cannon was set up on such a huge turret. The place behind it was originally used to install a steam engine. However, if the steam engine was added, this thing would not be expected to go out to fight. Being able to move a centimeter in this large warehouse would be considered a burning incense.
Wan Jun shook his head and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, building aircraft and tanks in the late Ming Dynasty was still a bit too far beyond the times. The current technology had no way to support it. "Download the tank team's funds, you all go to build artillery."
Wan Jun was a little disappointed after coming out of the tank team. The invention of the institute did not meet his expectations at all. So far, the best thing is that the mother and child fired guns in succession, and the push on the firearms was not much.
Except for some normal ones, most of the recruited scholars and scholars recruited from the Academy of Sciences are almost the same way, such as building a furnace to refine the rejuvenation pill, and some study black donkey hooves.
Wan Jun couldn't help but think of someone. According to legend, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang also attached great importance to technological inventions. However, due to the development of the times, the 72 inventors recruited were just inventing some stealth techniques, such as flying eaves and walls, or blacking out the blood of dogs.
Wan Jun went around the Academy of Sciences and drove away the things that should be stopped and the things that should be driven away. He couldn't help but say in his heart that Wang Lihui was the same. I gave him a lot of money and made these things for me.
"Where are Wang Lihui people?"
The person behind him immediately replied, "Minister Wang will go to the chief
After that, Fei Weisan and others were accompanied."
Wan Jun suddenly remembered that he asked when he entered the door, and he secretly laughed in his heart that his leader's behavior was becoming more and more obvious.
But at this moment, everyone saw a big house emitting smoke by the lake from afar. Wan Jun remembered, "Then is where Gong Bisheng builds the steam engine, I don't know what's going on."
As they approached the house, Wanjun heard the sound of steam and a huge impact of iron tools.
When Gong Bisheng learned that Wan Jun had arrived, he hurried over to greet him. Wan Jun saw Gong Bisheng and others sweating profusely. Although it was December, he was wearing very few clothes. "How are you doing?"
Gong Bisheng said, "It's basically successful!"
Wan Jun said happily, "Take me to see."
Gong Bisheng led everyone into the huge house. A huge iron pillar stood in the house. A pipe as thick as an arm stretched out from the column body. Steam spread over the iron pillar, and the whole room was filled with heat.
At this moment, Wanjun heard a "clang" again!
After walking towards the huge steam engine, Wan Jun finally saw something making a sound through the steam.
A huge hammer was slowly rising, and a large piece of red-burned iron was lying on the iron felt. As the hammer rose to a high place, it fell down with a "clang", causing sparks to splash!
Gong Bisheng said, "Our steam engine can now reach a great force and can easily forge the refined iron with a hundred refining."
Wan Jun smiled and said, "Okay, okay, although it is a big fool, it will solve the problem of existence and non-existence!"
Gong Bisheng said happily, "Thank you, the head of state. Wearing iron is just a try. Once you master the steam engine, you can use it in other places."
Wan Jun said, "Not bad!"
"Clang", another huge impact sound. Wan Jun felt a strong wind flying through his ears, reached out and patted Gong Bisheng on the shoulder, and retreated from the house.
Wan Jun said to Gong Bisheng who was following behind, "You are doing well. The steam engine is a good thing. I will give you all the people and funds from the tank team."
Gong Bisheng said, "Thank you, the Head of State!"
After seeing the Academy of Sciences, I finally gained some results, and Wanjun took people to the shipyard again.
In the cold wind, Du Changqing led his troops to check in the shipyard.
Wan Jun saw the white hair in Du Changqing's ears and the white beards moving with the wind. Compared with the previous few years, he was aged a lot. "Why did Master Du change so much if he hasn't seen him for a year?"
Du Changqing responded lightly, "Everyone has time to grow old, so the head of state should ask the shipyard's achievements this year!"
Wan Jun really didn't like Du Changqing's temper, "Then tell me."
Du Changqing said, "The last time the head of state went south to expedition, the shipyard recruited a large number of craftsmen, and the large warships had basically stopped. Twenty batches of 28-meter ships were produced, six in each batch, a total of 120, and 17-meter river ships, 12 in each batch, a total of 360. The remaining river transport ships of nine or five-meter rivers can be built in twenty or thirty, and the specific number is uncountable."
Wan Jun could see that Du Changqing was worried that he could only build a small river ship in Hanyang, while his apprentice Jiang usually built a large warship.
However, Wan Jun has his own plans. Large warships are not in demand in the short term. They have coastal defense and Taiwan production, which can basically cope with the red barbarians in the South China Sea.
