In the bridge, Li Meng sat on the command chair and looked around the huge bridge.
Personnel positions in front of various instruments and equipment in the bridge have been assigned.
Zhao Yuyan and Zhao Yufang are still responsible for communications and radar. There are seven positions at the bottom, one is the driver, four positions correspond to lift engines No. 1-4, one position corresponds to the steering engine, and the last position is the thrust engine. Since it is mechanized
, the engine power can be adjusted.
The reason why the four lift engines and the main thrust engine have their own control systems is mainly to reduce the probability of damage. If it is an integrated system, if this system is destroyed, the airship will completely lose control. If the control system is separated, it will be destroyed.
If one of the systems is disabled, the other systems can still maintain the power of the airship.
Moving his eyes slightly, Li Meng looked at Li Yutao in the lowermost driving seat and said, "Li Yuntao, are you confident in driving an airship?"
Li Yuntao is a pilot. Although his license is an airplane pilot's license, at least his eyesight is much higher than that of ordinary people. From among the pilots, Li Meng selected a total of three people as pilots.
They are Li Yuntao, Xie Yun, and Wang Pengkun. All three of them are big men with standard builds.
With a chuckle, Li Yutao turned around and said: "Don't worry, captain, the control of this thing is very simple, just like driving a toy. Although the degree of automation is not high, there are detailed instructions."
Surrounding Li Yutao were six engine controllers, four men and two women, all of whom Li Meng knew by name.
In the bridge, all personnel are in place, waiting for the time to set off.
Of course, wherever Li Meng is, Chen Beier is indispensable. At this moment, she and Wei Qiunan are sitting on the seats on the side of the rear hatch. There are more than ten reserved seats there.
Yang Xiuling is also in the airship. She is a weak woman, and Li Meng will not let her become a fighting soldier.
Li Meng gave her the position of restaurant supervisor, responsible for the food in the airship. She should be communicating with the restaurant staff at the moment.
In an airship, not everyone is a mercenary.
There are three types of people who are not, one is the technicians, that is, the logistics staff, and the other is the cooking staff in the restaurant. They are all civilians in Black Flag City and were recruited by the GYB-0 security company.
Seeing the captain looking over, Chen Beier waved happily.
Li Meng laughed dumbly at Chen Beier's child-like reaction and looked away.
I would say she is not a child, but she behaves like a child, but her 26-year-old age is not fake. It feels very strange.
Different from the mercenaries in the first-level cabin, everyone in the bridge wore white camouflage combat uniforms, which were overall white with light blue patterns, short-sleeved tops, and long-sleeved trousers.
This is the uniform that all mercenaries will put on after finding their own cabin.
The fourth to seventh floors are fully enclosed living areas. There is no need to wear protective clothing even outside. The first to third floors are open areas. Once something is done, the hatch of the harbor will open.
There will be contact with the outside environment. People on the lower three floors must wear protective clothing to avoid being eroded by radiation.
Time passed little by little, and while everyone on the bridge was waiting, five o'clock arrived...
"Captain, seventeen o'clock has arrived."
Zhao Yuyan, who was on the lower floor, turned around and reminded.
Hearing this, Li Meng, who was sitting on the command seat, became energetic. He turned on the instrument in front of him and turned on the broadcast. He said: "Everyone, I am Captain Li Feng. This airship is about to take off. Maybe it's a little bit...
Shaking, please prepare accordingly.”
It's time to go...
The voice on the radio informed everyone in the airship of the news.
When he finished speaking, Li Meng turned off the radio.
Looking at Li Yutao at the bottom, Li Meng said: "Let's go."
Nodding, Li Yutao turned around, with a straight face, and said: "The lift engine is started, the thrust engine is warmed up, and the lift engine power is set to 30%. Don't worry, let's see how heavy this airship is."
"Engine No. 1 starts, power: 30%."
"Engine number two starts, power: 30%."
"Engine number three starts, power: 30%."
"Engine number four starts, power: 30%."
As a few people shouted, outside, in the airship in the square, four huge lift engines suddenly started, the huge paddles and rotors began to rotate, and the roar of the engines resounded throughout the world.
"It's started, it's started..."
Even though night was approaching, there were still some people in the square, and the roar outside also attracted the attention of the mercenaries on the city wall. Many people ran out of the city wall and looked at the airships launched in the square.
In the square, the four huge lift engines of the airship caused rolling wind and waves, which were almost visible to the naked eye and whirred.
But it was useless, the airship in the square did not move at all.
Seeing that the lift was insufficient, Li Yutao in the bridge said loudly: "Don't be anxious, take your time, we have to adapt to this airship, and see how strong its lift is. Only after this first time can we understand it better
It increases the power and sets the lift engine power to 40%."
"Engine No. 1, power: 40%."
"Engine number two, power: 40%."
"Engine three, power: 40%."
"Engine number four, power: 40%."
Outside, the roar of the engine became louder and the wind and waves became more intense, but the airship remained motionless.
Seeing that the airship was still motionless, Li Yutao glanced at the holographic screen in front of him. Based on the status information of the airship monitored above, he knew where the power of the airship's lift-off power was.
Li Yutao said loudly: "Continue to increase the lift, the power is 60%."
"Engine No. 1, power: 60%."
"Engine number two, power: 60%."
"Engine three, power: 60%."
"Engine number four, power: 60%."
Outside, the roar of the engine increased a little more. In the rolling wind and waves, the huge speedboat suddenly shuddered and then slowly rose in height, but the rising speed was very slow. It took several seconds to rise several meters in height.
Seeing that the airship's lift-off speed was too slow, Li Yutao knew that the lift was still insufficient.
Li Yutao said loudly again: "Continue to increase the lift, the power is 80%."
"Engine No. 1, power: 80%."
"Engine number two, power: 80%."
"Engine three, power: 80%."
"Engine number four, power: 80%."
As several people reported loudly, the rumbling engine roared louder outside, and the huge airship lifted off faster and faster, getting higher and higher, straight into the sky.
Seeing that the airship's lift-off speed was objective, Li Yutao breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Maintain the current power, thrust engine afterburner, power: 40%."
"Yes, thrust engine afterburner, power 40%."
Outside, the airship had risen to an altitude of nearly a thousand meters. The propeller fan of the tail thrust engine started to rotate. This caused the huge airship to slowly fly forward as it took off, flying over the city wall and crossing the hot air.
Wave Station, entering the outside world full of radiation.
