August 1st arrived in the blink of an eye, and Ninghe City, where the headquarters of Dayang Group is located and where the capital of the Xihai Principality is now located, became even more lively.
It is said that Ninghe City has been so lively since the founding of the Xihai Principality and the end of the auction. But today is particularly lively because today is the first flight of the first civil aviation aircraft.
According to data published in the "Ocean Daily", the Tuanyuan-1 aircraft can accommodate 72 passengers. For the first test flight, 72 people will be selected for a free trial ride through a lottery.
The plane will take off from the airport in the south of Ninghe City and land in "Jiangyang City" 14,000 kilometers away.
Jiangyang City is the island of Taotu, the former capital of Tianshui Kingdom, and now it is one of the southern administrative centers of Xihai Work.
I also know that at this time, with the opening of the airport, everyone fully understood that the square site that Dayang Group had built in the south of Ninghe City, with many wide roads extending out, was an airport, a civil airport.
Of course, it can also be used for military purposes at critical moments.
A large, luxurious bus slowly drove into the front of the airport terminal.
Wang Ruiyang and others walked down slowly.
Dayang Group said to the outside world that it selected 72 people through a lottery, and grabbed them from a box set up in front of the government office in Ninghe City. A number of numbers were placed in each box, and the numbers were then drawn uniformly by the government.
In this way, 72 people were selected.
But in addition to these 72 people, there are more than 130 people invited by Dayang Group alone.
These people are mainly representatives of all parties, heads of embassies, etc.
Among them, Wang Ruiyang came here in person.
Wang Ruiyang and other distinguished guests had to wait for the second and third takeoff. The first takeoff was for the 72 lucky people, or should I say, the lucky mice.
Standing outside the terminal, Wang Ruiyang saw the passenger plane.
Compared with fighter jets, passenger aircraft are obviously a bit bulky and bloated.
In particular, the wings of passenger aircraft are extremely wide. In order to withstand the huge stress, the wings of the aircraft have to be made thicker to completely integrate the wings and engines. This causes the fuselage at the wing position to be significantly narrowed.
.
Viewed from the side, the fuselage structure is a bit like a tadpole, of course not so obvious. The front is particularly large, the middle, and the middle and rear parts are narrowed; it expands again at the tail.
For the sake of beauty and a more perfect design, two smaller engines were installed on the tail fin.
In this way, the design of the Tuan Yuan No. 1 civil aviation aircraft feels a little strange.
On the two wings, there are two large engines on one side.
Because the size is large enough, three times as long as a fighter jet, the design of the civil aviation aircraft is even more outstanding and grand.
The white plane looks like an elegant white swan. But it is also as sharp as a sword, as if it is ready to pierce the sky at any time.
The fuselage is about 78 meters long and has a wingspan of 66 meters. When viewed from above, the structure looks like a sharp triangle.
The entire aircraft is made of aluminum. Of course it is not ordinary aluminum, but has been processed by spiritual processing. The outside is covered with a titanium alloy skin.
At nine o'clock in the morning, 72 lucky mice arrived and stood under the terminal, listening to the staff's explanation.
At this time, Wang Ruiyang and more than 130 people were above the terminal, and they could also hear the staff’s explanation:
"Everyone, my name is Captain Feng Songjie, and this is the co-pilot Yu Jiang.
Both of us started training five years ago, when we were still using propeller aircraft. This spring, we both passed the fighter jet test with a score of 96 or above.
After the spring, we became involved in the design of civil aviation aircraft until today."
"Airplanes are the same as sailing. Once you get on the plane, you must obey the captain's instructions in everything; if the captain does not speak, you must obey the first officer.
If both the captain and first officer have a problem, they will listen to the flight attendants.
These four beautiful girls, it seems that our flight attendants have all received professional training. If you have any questions during the ride, you can ask the flight attendants."
"Let me tell you more about this flight plan. After we take off, we will climb to high altitude at a climbing speed of 50 meters per second. It is expected to climb above the aura layer in 22 minutes. At this time, the speed of the aircraft will reach three times the speed of sound.
In these 22 minutes, the plane will fly forward about 1,000 kilometers.
Once you climb above the aura layer, the interior of the aircraft will be pressurized and infused with aura to ensure a comfortable riding environment.
After the official flight, the cabin of the aircraft will be divided into two parts. The first half is no longer pressurized and is reserved for people at the Nascent Soul stage and above for riding and practicing. The second half is pressurized to provide services for the Golden Elixir stage and below."
"Finally, no noise or movement is allowed on the plane. When the plane reaches the sky, its stability is not as good as that of the ship. Please understand this."
"We will arrive in Jiangyang City in three and a half hours, before about 11:30, and the plane will land at the airport in Jiangyang City... After the plane lands, an inspection will be conducted for half an hour.
At that time, you can choose to get off the plane, or you can sit in the plane and wait for the return.
It is expected to return here before 15:30 pm and carry out the second and third voyages.
The aircraft will be inspected for a day tomorrow. If everything goes well, the airport will be officially open for operation the day after tomorrow."
"During the flight, if you have any comments, you are welcome to report them to the flight attendants, and we will try our best to improve them.
Next, please board the plane under the guidance of the flight attendants."
The four flight attendants smiled and invited everyone to board the plane.
There is only one boarding gate, but the interior of the cabin is divided into two sections. The middle section is narrower and is the wing section. This is made into an aisle and storage room.
The cabins are distributed at both ends.
Of course, such a design is immature. But everything is just beginning. You won’t become fat after one bite, and you can only improve it slowly in the future.
Outside, Wang Ruiyang stood behind the railing, watching the captain finish his explanation, watching the passengers board the plane, watching the plane close the door and start taxiing slowly, and his hands became a little nervous unconsciously.
After thinking for a while, Lao Wang took out the Nine Nether Turtle that looked like a jade carving from his pocket.
However, this time it seemed that the rest of the Jiuyou Turtle was disturbed. The little turtle suddenly opened its mouth. The cute and cute little turtle showed its ferocious side. The mouth was full of teeth like sawtooths, and it aimed at Lao Wang's finger.
The Dharma-level body was actually bitten and bleeding.
The little turtle took a few sips and lazily looked cute in Wang Ruiyang's hand.
Wang Ruiyang didn't seem to notice anything. The wounds on his fingers disappeared quickly. He gently stroked the little turtle with his right hand and watched quietly as the plane in front taxied to the runway.
The next moment, a roar was heard, and a faint flame spurted out from behind the engine; the plane began to accelerate.
Accelerating, accelerating, accelerating again, the plane is getting faster and faster, and incomplete fuel is burned due to acceleration at the rear, leaving a faint black smoke.
However, as the aircraft accelerates and the engine operating conditions increase, the wake quickly disappears.
The plane passed by, leaving behind a strong wind. The plane did not use the power of the formation during takeoff.
The huge plane roared out more than three thousand meters, climbed into the sky with a roar, and rushed into the distance like lightning.
Suddenly, just as it jumped into the air, at an altitude of probably only three or four kilometers, a layer of light clouds and mist suddenly appeared on the surface of the aircraft. The next moment, the light clouds and mist turned into a donut and wrapped around the aircraft; and the aircraft suddenly flew away.
A cone-shaped, hollow donut remains.
Sonic boom cloud!
Looking at the sonic boom cloud, Wang Ruiyang's eyes narrowed.
To say that sonic boom clouds are no longer unusual now, I have seen too many at auctions. However, seeing such a heavy aircraft break through the speed of sound so quickly still made Wang Ruiyang a little solemn.
Wang Ruiyang is a little arrogant. How many outsiders know the difficulty of fighter jets and supersonic aircraft?
But, you know it!
As early as a few years ago, when Dayang Group started selling propeller aircraft, Wang Ruiyang bought a lot of them and went back to dismantle them for fun...well, he dismantled them for research.
The main purpose is to re-draw the blueprints of the aircraft. In professional terms, it is called reverse engineering.
Then I discovered a problem. After disassembling it... I couldn't put it back together!
At that moment, Wang Ruiyang's heart trembled: Technology! This is what is called technology!
It was at that time that Wang Ruiyang understood why Dayang Group gradually no longer cared about keeping secrets, and many good things began to be sold to the outside world.
In fact, the reason is very simple. When the technical gap reaches a certain level, if the drawings are thrown in front of you, you won’t be able to understand them!
But Wang Ruiyang is different. He has been immersed in development and research these years. No matter what the outside world says, he has been immersed in catching up with Dayang Group's technology.
It wasn’t until this year that it started to be released to the outside world.
At this time, Wang Ruiyang was confident that his technology had surpassed the Kingdom of Shaoze and equaled the Kingdom of Qixia in many fields.
The next goal is to catch up with Dayang Group.
At the auction a month ago, Lingbo Group bought three fighter jets. After returning home, Wang Ruiyang dismantled one fighter jet for study.
But I encountered a bigger problem. This time it wasn’t that I couldn’t put it back together, because I couldn’t even take it apart!
It’s been more than a month, and I still haven’t taken apart the fighter jet!
Lao Wang is very angry about the technological gap. Why is it getting bigger and bigger?
I can't believe that this time I came to Dayang Group to experience civil aviation technology.
But Lao Wang thought more: military technology represents the pinnacle of technology, while civilian technology... represents the arrival of a new era!
What does it mean to use fighter technology for civilian use?
The Ocean Group had a similar process before: the civilian use of steel battleship technology directly opened up the age of navigation.
Compared with the current navigation situation, the navigation more than ten years ago... can only be said to be crossing the sea.
The plane was completely out of sight, so Wang Ruiyang slowly withdrew his gaze and chatted with the people around him, or asked the person in charge of Dayang Group here for something.
We had a light dinner together at noon, mainly because the atmosphere at the wine table was good and we talked a lot, so we took the opportunity to build relationships.
At 15:08 in the afternoon, the plane returned. The plane landed three thousand meters away and then taxied closer.
Finally, they came to the place where they boarded the plane before, and the passengers got off the plane; then came the flight attendants and the captain and co-pilot.
After a short rest, the plane took off again at 15:40. This time, Wang Ruiyang sat in the front seat by the window.
The seat belts of supersonic aircraft are completely different from the seat belts of cars. They have two strips, which are in the shape of "fierce" and firmly fix people in their seats.
The flight attendant repeatedly explained: Although everyone is an expert, the situation at high altitudes and above the aura layer is different from that on the ground. Above the aura layer, people's reaction ability will be a little slow.
Wang Ruiyang fastened his seat belt and listened quietly to the flight attendant's explanation of precautions. When the captain announced that it was taking off, he turned to look out the window.
The plane began to accelerate, and Wang Ruiyang felt a slight acceleration pressure. He lay down on the wide and comfortable leather seat and turned his head to watch everything on the ground retreat rapidly. Gradually, the nearby objects became a little blurred and appeared in lines.
Suddenly, I felt like my feet were hanging in the air, everything around me was falling... and the plane took off.
Wang Ruiyang felt quietly that compared with propeller planes, they were just called airplanes now.
But if compared with the flying boat, it is difficult to judge the advantages and disadvantages for the time being. However, in terms of technical content, the current aircraft is still better, more comfortable and more convenient.
After passing through two layers of white clouds, Wang Ruiyang didn't feel anything when he heard the radio saying: It has climbed to an altitude of 90 kilometers and is now completely free of the aura layer.
Wang Ruiyang tried to mobilize the true energy in his body, but found that the reaction was really slow. Although the surroundings were filled with spiritual energy and pressurized air, it felt more like coming from the sea to a fish tank. As a master, he lost contact with the outside world.
.
Like a fish lost in the sea;
Like a bird that has lost the sky;
Losing contact with the outside world, combat effectiveness dropped significantly.
