In 1930, Haoren became even busier. Industrial equipment plundered from the United States began to arrive at the port one after another. These first materials and equipment that arrived were urgently needed by the Xihua Group. These materials and equipment did not stay after being unloaded from the ship.

, truck by truck, all transported to the mountains

Went there. The production base there had been built early. The arrival of these materials and equipment allowed Haoren to fully roll out his next plan. In the past, the local enterprises under the Xihua Group founded by Haoren were small and comprehensive, and not large-scale.

One is due to lack of funds, and the other is due to the

Limitations of talents. Without talents and skilled workers, no matter how big your enterprise is, it will not be able to operate, and it will not be able to produce qualified products for you. The greater the investment, the greater the waste, and there are some places where more money is needed.

Now after more than four years, a group of skilled workers has grown up. Coupled with the inflow of technical talents, skilled workers, and large-scale machinery and equipment due to the economic crisis in the United States, everything is no longer a problem. From now on, the Chinese Empire

With all the conditions in place, China has begun to take off, and no force can stop it.

Speaking of which, the economic crisis in the United States occurred less than half a year ago. According to the original history, Xihua Group would not have obtained materials and equipment so quickly. This was the focus of the original "Beautiful Hunting Plan". Xihua Group speculated on the capital market to earn market price differences.

On the one hand, what is important is to systematically plunder these companies and equipment for my own use. The thirty industrial stocks of the later Dow Jones reached their highest on September 3, 1929.

The point was 452 points. In this time and space, September 2nd broke through the historical high point. Today's closing of the Dow Jones 30 industrial stocks closed at 494.48 points. On September 3rd, it reached the historical high point of 499.11 points. In October, there was a sharp decline, with the lowest

The point was 212 points, and in November it fell to 189.11 points, which is equivalent to more than halving the three-month index decline. The wings of this little butterfly are flapping a bit fiercely...

This time, the "Hunting for Beauty Plan" has planned a number of orders for key targets, which has made the performance of these companies very good, and their stock prices have also been particularly high. In order to complete these orders within a limited time, the companies asked banks

A large amount of loans were taken to increase the corresponding equipment. The economic crisis occurred, orders disappeared, performance immediately changed, and banks had a difficult time.

They also came to collect debts. Rumors spread in the market, stock prices plummeted, and some people deliberately smashed the market at key points. The stock prices were lower than the price of cabbage, allowing Xihua Group to plunder these companies at a very small price. This

It's just the beginning. Companies have to be acquired part by part, companies and goods have to be shipped back ship by ship, the stock market has entered a long and bearish road, and there is still a long road ahead.

At the Chinese Research Institute, Haoren was explaining to Li Yanfeng, the director of the institute, and some key researchers. There were a lot of drawings in front of him. The graphics were very weird. No such weird aircraft had ever appeared in either the previous life or the future. This was when Haoren was bored in the future.

I designed it myself for fun,

With the development of aviation technology in later generations, there is no need for this thing to exist, so it is not used to embarrass people. This life is different. As far as the current aviation technology is concerned, this aircraft will still be available for a long time.

It roamed the sky for a while.

"I gave this aircraft a nice name: Devil Aircraft, referred to as Devil." Haoren pointed to the graphics on the drawing and said: "In fact, its predecessor was an airship, which appeared on the battlefield during World War I. Airships are a kind of dangerous aircraft. The lighter-than-air aircraft is very large and can be called the "aviation giant". Its advantages are that it is large in size, stable in flight, and easy to operate and drive; second, it is safe and has low requirements on landing sites. It can fly at low altitude and low speed; thirdly, it saves energy and has a large load capacity; fourthly, it is low cost, and its operating cost is 1/5 of that of an airplane. Because of its large load capacity, it can be used as a large transport aircraft for transporting military items during the war, and can even be used on the bombing mission."

"Um, but the drawing doesn't look like an airship, right? Li Yanfeng asked doubtfully.

"Yes, airships have many fatal flaws, such as poor ability to withstand storms. The previous airships used hydrogen, which is easy to burn and explode. They can be changed to helium, but their role on the battlefield is very limited. Another thing Even with the emergence and development of airplanes, meeting an airship in the sky is simply a living target, leaving the airship with no future for development." Haoren explained: "The Devil has absorbed the advantages of the airship, discarded some of its flaws, and developed based on the ideas of the airship. aircraft. Its most significant advantages lie in its huge air transportation capacity, ultra-long range, long-term airborne ability and amazing bombing capability. Everyone knows that the current flying height of aircraft is limited, and the flying height of the Devil is In theory, there are no restrictions. Besides, our air force is developing very fast, and we must master air superiority. A battlefield without air superiority will be beaten. With these two guarantees, the Devil still has a lot of room for development. We It is by making good use of this space that we have the opportunity to develop the Devil into a secret weapon in our hands and a major killer of our military's air strike force."

Zeppelins participated in the air raids on Britain in World War I. There were few effective ways to deal with them in the early days. In the end, white phosphorus incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs were mixed into aircraft cannons to successfully shoot down these big guys.

The withdrawal of airships from the aviation stage in later generations was actually not due to air crashes, but World War II. In 1940, because airships had no practical value for the war, the Luftwaffe destroyed all airships on Goering's order. The number of aircraft during World War II Development has allowed airplanes to replace airships as a quick tool for long-distance voyages. As an air vehicle, airships mainly rely on the buoyancy generated by the gas filled in the airbag that is less dense than air - usually helium - to provide lift. Airships can Much larger than any other aircraft. It also has the unique advantage of being able to stay in the air for long periods of time. While fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft measure flight time in hours, airships can stay aloft for days. It can also Suspends quietly. It is characterized by considerable fuel economy when compared with heavier-than-air aircraft. Therefore, airships are also more environmentally friendly. There are three types of airships - rigid, semi-rigid and non-rigid. Rigid airships Its shape and rigidity are maintained through an internal skeleton. The gas that provides lift is contained in a series of independent air chambers, and the internal structure is covered by a skin. The semi-rigid airship maintains its shape mainly through the gas pressure in the air bag, but There is a rigid keel that plays an auxiliary role. The non-rigid type only has air bags.

"So, since the Devil can use buoyancy to lift off, what's the use of these propellers?" Li Yanfeng asked doubtfully.

"Well, you should notice that the angle of these propellers can be adjusted. They have the following functions: First, increase the load capacity of the Devil. You should know that the buoyancy of the Devil has a certain limit. It is lower on the ground.

In order to increase the load capacity, propellers can be used to help lift the Devil. When the Devil rises to a certain height, the buoyancy will also increase, and we can gradually reduce the lifting force of the propellers until they all stop running. Second, it can help lift the Devil

When we change the angle of the propeller, the propeller can be used to lift the Devil and boost the propulsion to increase the flight speed. When the Devil's own buoyancy is enough to carry a heavy load, it can be completely used as a flight power.

It has been used. The third is that it can provide stability and improve the Devil's ability to withstand storms. The fourth is that it can adjust the direction and increase the Devil's maneuverability. The fifth is that it can help the aircraft land quickly." Haoren explained carefully.

"Well, I understand. It turns out that it has so many functions. The idea is really clever." Li Yanfeng praised. Everyone agreed and nodded in praise.

"In addition to using propellers to help lift, the Devil can also use its own shape to fully utilize aerodynamic principles to lift the fuselage during flight. The organic combination of the buoyancy of the fuselage, the propellers and the lifting force of the fuselage allows us to

The Devil has reached a very ideal state and is completely different from an airship.

The key is that we have the ability to produce high-strength lightweight materials. This is the real reason why I have only come up with the production of this aircraft today." Haoren said confidently: "Of course, this is just a prototype.

We also need to add a lot of functions. We classify computers with a height of less than 100 meters as small computers and computers with a height of 200 meters or more.

Three hundred meters is divided into medium-sized machines, and those larger than three hundred meters are called large machines. Using this prototype machine firstly allows you researchers to theoretically learn, understand and even further create new products. Secondly, in the production process

Identify problems, correct omissions, and further improve the product to achieve the ideal state. The third is to produce in advance

It will be provided to pilots for test flights, and it will take a long time to practice to achieve proficiency in flying. The earlier it is produced, the earlier it will be to train pilots and equip the army, so that our air force will have strong air combat capabilities, and the earlier it will improve our military's

The overall combat capability is of great significance, do you understand?"

"Understood." Li Yanfeng and others replied.

"The Devil is the secret weapon of our army. Therefore, the overall assembly of the aircraft and key components are produced and assembled by ourselves. Other non-critical components can be produced out of component drawings and outsourced, but you must study and try to make them

Standardization and modularization are conducive to our rapid production and assembly. It is not limited to this. All walks of life can achieve standardization and modularization as much as possible. Your research institute should improve relevant specifications as soon as possible and introduce and release them as soon as possible.

"Haoren finally arranged specific tasks for the institute.

"Yes, our institute will implement these tasks as soon as possible according to your instructions." Li Yanfeng replied firmly.
Chapter completed!
