At noon on February 14, the 20th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao rushed to the Islands Power Research Institute in a hurry, because news came from the Islands Power Research Institute that the external combustion engine locomotive sample in charge of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng had been manufactured.

come out.

Qu Mao used the experimental rails outside the Islands Power Research Institute to ride a sample external-combustion engine locomotive back and forth for more than a dozen times. Although the length of the experimental rails outside the Islands Power Research Institute was only more than 300 meters, it would not take more than a dozen round trips.

trip, the total mileage was almost 4 kilometers.

With the external-combustion engine locomotive, Qu Mao could truly feel the time it takes for the external-combustion engine locomotive to start and the braking time to be shortened many times compared to that of a steam locomotive. Although the 300-meter track length makes it impossible to test the running speed, it is not possible to test the running speed.

Qu Mao believes that the time saved by starting and braking will greatly improve the efficiency of traffic in long-distance traffic, so Qu Mao feels very excited.

Judging from that effect, it might only take one day and one night to go to the branch territories of the other four continents.

After seeing the external combustion engine train locomotive, Qu Mao originally wanted to ask Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng to split their R&D team in two. He also asked about the R&D progress of the teams of Lian Dao Nanli and Mu Degui.

Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng told Qu Mao: Although Nanli and Mu Degui have not developed a steel chariot for more than ten years, they are studying wingsuit flight and airships. The airship has even made samples and made several test flights.

Qu Mao lost his composure in an instant. Yongxuan, whose mind was full of air force fighter jets, immediately asked to go to Liandao to see for himself.

Although Qu Mao attached great importance to the Iron Chariot project, it was a weapon of the Army after all and could not run on the ground. Therefore, even though it had not been completed for more than ten years, Qu Mao was still anxious and did not urge or pressure Nanli and Mu.

Virtue and honor.

But the airship is different. Can it leave the ground, fly into the air, and further develop eastward? Can a fighter jet equipped with missiles, even if it cannot reach the speed of a fighter jet, have the speed of a civilian aircraft, at least pass through various places?

Between continents, it only takes a day or two.

Qu Mao originally planned to leave Kong Ming aside and let Kong Ming be responsible for the mass production of external combustion engine locomotives, and go to Liandao alone to see the airships. But how could Kong Ming let go of such an opportunity? He immediately expressed his intention to arrange the production of external combustion engine locomotives. Magic

You can do it with the communication crystal, and you don't need to stay at the Island Power Research Institute all the time.

So Kong Ming followed Qu Mao and ran non-stop towards Liandao.

After getting on the steam train from the outlying island, Kong Ming took out the magic communication crystal on the steam train, contacted Xuande and Mengde successively, and asked Xuande and Mengde to arrange for the staff to connect to the outlying island power research institute by mistake.

The locomotive factory on the island can be used to produce external combustion engine locomotives, and plans are being made to build a new external combustion engine locomotive production factory.

Whether it is an airship or a combustion engine locomotive, for Xuande and Mengde, it is an extremely encouraging and exciting thing. Especially if the foreign territory has a branch territory war on the other four continents, the internal combustion engine train

The importance of motorcycles is self-evident.

As early as the military industry chain planning meeting in November of the 19th year of Tianxuan, Xuande and Mengde had already heard that Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng were studying the external combustion engine train locomotive project at the Islands Power Research Institute. Ruming heard that Kong Ming

If the sample has been made and tested, predictability will be doubled.

Naturally, the two of them did not hesitate to compete for the production rights of external combustion engine locomotives. In the magic communication crystal, they expressed to Kong Ming that they would use all the production of Liandao Locomotive Factory to produce external combustion engine locomotives, and at the same time they would be very good at building civilian applications.

External combustion engine locomotive factory and military external combustion engine locomotive factory.

Kong Ming said that Emperor Yi’s territory had a huge demand for external combustion engine locomotives. Not to mention the two external combustion engine locomotive factories, even if there were twenty external combustion engine locomotive factories, the number of external combustion engine locomotives produced would be

Can be sold out quickly.

Kong Ming, Xuande and Mengde were all the core heroes in the early days of Emperor Yi's territory. Even if Qu Mao was not around, they could quickly make decisions on such matters, not to mention that Qu Mao was around.

Therefore, Kongming had already reached an agreement with Xuande and Mengde before converting the steam train into a shuttle boat, so that the military external-combustion engine locomotive factory would be built in Liandao, and the civilian external-combustion engine locomotive factory would be built in Zhongdao.

exist.

The Military Logistics Department and the Civil Industry Department will send people to the Outlying Island Power Research Institute to connect the production process with the teams of Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng.

Qu Mao and Kong Ming quickly arrived at Liandao and met Nanli and Mu Degui outside the Liandao Flight Research Institute.

Apparently Nan Li and Mu Degui had received the magic communication crystal notification from Bi Sheng and Yan Qisheng, and had been waiting at the door of Liandao Flight Research Institute early.

Qu Mao did not exchange greetings with Nan Li and Mu Degui, but directly begged them to take him to see the airship sample.

Although Nan Li and Mu Degui didn't have much contact with Qu Mao, they also understood Qu Mao's character. Dangdong didn't waste any time and took Qu Mao and Kong Ming directly into the flight research institute and into a huge laboratory.

Walking into the huge laboratory, Qu Mao was instantly shocked by the ship in front of him.

On the reinforced concrete support in the middle of the laboratory, a warship 10 meters long, 4 meters wide and six meters high stands quietly. The warship deck is covered with various pipes and metal supports.

Nan Li hurriedly walked to Qu Mao and introduced: "Sir, the appearance of the airship is modeled after a small warship. The materials are mostly made of wood, and a few core positions are made of hollow metal tubes.

On the deck, there are pipes, heating furnaces, and blowers. There are a total of five hot air balloons, one large and four small. They are now outside the laboratory, so they have put away all five hot air balloons.

Sir, if you look carefully, there are two blowers on the bow, stern, and two sides of the ship. They are used to adjust the direction and control the speed of parallel movement in the air. The current experiments show that the effect is not obvious yet.

In the previous test flights, the average flight altitude could reach about 200 meters, but the flight speed was very slow and the climbing speed was also very slow."

Qu Mao asked: "Well, was it like that at the beginning? When we conducted the flight experiment, did we consider the influence of natural wind and other factors? Wouldn't the airship be blown away by the wind?"

Mu Degui said: "Sir, the previous two test flight experiments were conducted on the background of Feng Heli and the recovery was successful each time.

Of course, every time there is a test flight, there will be ropes tied to the airship on the ground. If it cannot land on its own, they will pull it back."

Qu Mao said: "Nanli, Mu Degui, let's organize Yidong and conduct another test flight tomorrow. He will call some heroes to watch together."

Nan Li and Mu Degui quickly said: "No, sir!"
