Time passed little by little, and the super airship was still flying in the sky. But the intelligence organizations of various countries were shocked at this time.
The airship kept flying in the air without stopping at all. The huge airship kept circling the Atlantic Ocean.
The altitude is also constantly changing. At high times it is as high as 50,000 meters, and at low times it is only a few hundred meters above sea level.
Intelligence organizations from various countries originally speculated that even if the airship saves energy, it will not be able to fly in the sky for long, only two or three days at most.
But the current situation has exceeded their expectations. For a week, the airship has been flying in the sky for a week and there is still no sign of landing.
Such a long battery life has made all countries take it seriously. This battery life is too long. The longer the battery life, the greater the effect.
They already know the speed of this airship. The maximum speed reaches 200 kilometers per hour. If it goes at full speed, it can travel 4,800 kilometers in one day. This distance is already extremely exaggerated. It is much faster than a ship. And it is in the sky.
You can fly in a straight line without making any turns.
And this airship has been in the air for a week. What does this mean? It means huge endurance.
Just as they were thinking, the direction of the airship changed again. This time it was no longer flying over the Atlantic Ocean, but going south along the Atlantic Ocean.
At an altitude of 45,000 meters, the airship headed south at full speed. Seeing this situation, no one knew what the airship wanted to do.
Under everyone's surveillance, the huge airship headed south. Two days later, the airship appeared over the Antarctic.
China Antarctic Scientific Research Station, today the research station received a message saying that the materials donated to the research station by Zhang Fan will be delivered today.
This news made everyone very curious. It did not say that an icebreaker was coming. As for transportation by airplane, China has never used airplanes to transport supplies to the research station.
"What is that?"
A team member accidentally raised his head and found a small white dot appearing in the sky. Then the white dot became bigger and bigger, and all the team members ran outside, braving the cold and raising their heads to watch online.
The white dots got bigger and bigger, and finally a Big Mac appeared in everyone's sight. Seeing this Big Mac, everyone took a breath of cold air.
"My dear, how big is this?"
When the airship landed slowly, everyone couldn't help but sigh. This thing is too big, bigger than their own research station.
The huge airship landed slowly. When the airship landed on the ice, everyone really felt the scale of this thing.
Just when everyone was curious, behind the airship, a huge hatch opened. The hatch was hidden. When it was opened, the surrounding airbags deflated and contracted.
After the huge hatch was opened, several crawler trucks drove out directly from the hatch, with huge containers pulled on top of the crawler trucks.
"Hello, we have been ordered to deliver donated materials. This is the list, please check it..."
An intelligent robot came to the crowd and printed out several lists after speaking. The person in charge of the research station swallowed and took these lists.
There are a lot of these things, and they are all things you need.
Fresh vegetables and fruits, grains, canned food, seasonings, etc. Not only that, but there are also two large special containers.
There are solar panels on top of this container, and there are light-guiding optical fibers and a soilless cultivation system inside. With this, everyone can grow their own vegetables inside and eat them themselves.
In addition to these, there are also two multi-purpose tracked vehicles and four snowmobiles. With these vehicles, it will be more convenient for the expedition team to travel.
"I wish you a happy life, goodbye."
After delivering the supplies, the robot turned around and returned to the inside of the airship. The airship door was closed again, the internal inflation system was activated, and with the maximum increase, the huge airship slowly took off again.
Everyone was shocked when they watched the Big Mac take off. This thing is so powerful. It is so convenient to use this thing to deliver supplies.
These series of actions were all captured by satellites from various countries. Everyone was shocked when they saw the airship landing in Antarctica to deliver supplies.
Airships are perfect for delivering supplies in Antarctica. This thing can float in the air and deliver supplies directly, so it can be easily delivered anywhere.
This is much more powerful than an icebreaker. Military experts from various countries first thought of this term for strategic transportation.
Strategic transportation, although this thing does not fly as fast as a transport aircraft, it can carry a lot. How many tanks and supplies can be carried in such a large airship.
Flying 4,800 kilometers a day is quite enough. Once a war breaks out, if you have control of the air, you can have some of these airships and transport a steady stream of supplies and personnel to your occupied area.
This airship can transport thousands of transport aircraft at once. If there are dozens of such strategic airships, there is no need to worry about fighting a war of attrition with the enemy.
If such a super airship is used in the military, can it be further optimized? For example, a more optimized design and the installation of stronger propellers can make the airship fly faster.
At the same time, in many cases, such a large airship cannot be used. It can be reduced in size, increased in speed, etc.
Perhaps an airship can cause a change in the mode of warfare. Although airships may not be suitable for combat.
But it is used for other purposes, such as daily reconnaissance, anti-submarine, etc. This thing can stay at an altitude of 50,000 meters, and the huge space can carry more advanced equipment. Suspending some airships over your own waters may be able to operate all-weather
Monitor your own maritime situation more accurately than military satellites.
An airship attracted global attention. After landing in Antarctica, the airship took off again and continued southward. The goal of this voyage was to circle the earth.
Four days later, the airship returned to private territory. It slowly landed inside the base, and the huge base closed, which represented the official end of the first phase of the airship.
The entire experiment lasted two weeks and fourteen days. This cruising range shocked everyone. No one knew whether this was the endurance limit of this airship.
Even if this is the limit of battery life, it is still very scary. If you circle the earth, you can go to any place in the world. This kind of battery life is terrible. If safety can be guaranteed, it can not only transport cargo, but also large-scale transportation.
Passenger transport.
Although it is much slower than an airplane, it has a lot of space and can be more comfortable. You can just like a yacht and reach your destination in a luxury airship, such as China to the United States. To build this kind of airship, you only need to
