Chapter 180 The spaceship floats (1)

After not seeing each other for a month, Wang Zhu's energy and energy became more and more like an old tree blooming with new flowers and rejuvenating the second spring. Of course, it was not because of other lace adjustments, mainly because of the bombs and bombs he personally dropped on the Japanese heads.

New plane refreshes

Once the block that had been in his heart for several years was removed, his whole temperament changed. He had been busy for a day, but he didn't show signs of fatigue. When he saw Zhu Bin and Serena coming hand in hand, they immediately welcomed him with a smile: "Han

Is your minister here? Please come quickly. Oh, I’ve been listening to your good news these days. You’re playing well. It’s a great boost to our Chinese people’s ambitions.”

Zhu Bin has always been modest in front of such loyal and honest professionals, he chuckled and said: "That's right. You technicians have worked hard to support us. If we can't do a good job, we will feel sorry for you, right?"

This is not a polite word. In order to support frontline operations, the aircraft manufacturing plant and the newly completed weapons and ammunition production line have been working overtime for fear of delaying their combat operations. Up to now, they have just taken a break.

Wang Assistant did not show any politeness to him and led them to the hangar at the back. He pointed at the two-seater reconnaissance aircraft that had been renovated and painted in his spare time and said: "I flew with you last time. Come back."

I have some new ideas. When the aerodynamic layout is basically unchanged, with a light load and full fuel, turning off the turbo and reducing the speed, the range can be greatly increased, which can basically meet your requirements."

The last time the two of them went to bomb Tokyo, they flew nearly 3,600 kilometers back and forth, which made Zhu Bin realize that his understanding of propeller aircraft of this era was obviously much shallower. Advanced aircraft models and engines have great potential to be tapped.

So when he asked for the aircraft to have a range of 4,000 kilometers, Wang Zhu agreed happily. At one time, he was a little unbelievable, thinking that Chief Engineer Wang was reluctantly doing it. Now it seems that he is still a high-level and professional person.

Assistant Wang patted the black fuselage and said, "A few days ago, Douglas sent a bidding request and some information. Last year, the U.S. Navy launched a new round of tenders for water patrol aircraft. They did it themselves.

The model is not ideal, and the

The development was slow, so I came to us. I saw that all the parameters and indicators were somewhat similar to our new machine, so I tried to change it. Liu Banxia, ​​a kid, took it to test and said it was suitable. I was thinking about it.

Let’s take a look at the prototype sometime.”

Zhu Bin rolled his eyes when he heard this, and thought to himself that with the convenient conditions he had, Mr. Wang and the others were a little too crazy. Douglas had been busy for more than half a year, and there was nothing he could do about it. It would be better for him to prepare it in a few months.

Is it insincere and hateful to get results?

He quickly advised: "Brother Wang, don't torment yourselves like this, you won't make the same mistake. Americans are very slow in efficiency. Don't rush to give them answers, give them a try, get more good stuff to enrich our technical reserves and production and research and development conditions.

It won’t be too late to give it to them when we’re done. I think the end of the year or the beginning of next year will work. Let’s finish it ourselves first.”

"That's true." Wang Zhu was deeply concerned about the Boeing incident, and he was always wary and distrustful of Americans. He nodded with deep understanding, "Then let's do this first, and we can't take advantage of them. Let me tell you, Hanchen

, this kind of aircraft is really innovative. It widens the fuselage, lengthens the wings, and uses lightweight skin materials. If you modify it, it will be able to fly 5,000 kilometers without any problem..."

Researching seaplanes is his specialty. He has been immersed in this field for sixteen or seventeen years, and his knowledge is deep in his bones. He just gave him an opportunity. This time Douglas really found the right person.

After talking to himself for a long time, Wang Zhu suddenly remembered that Zhu Bin was here for something. He patted his forehead in embarrassment and arranged for someone to drag the two-seater bomber out. As he walked, he asked: "By the way, what is the code name for this aircraft?"

Okay?"

Zhu Bin rubbed his chin and looked at the black and slender body. Thinking about its use, he said in a wicked way: "Why don't you call it Skua?"

"It's too unpleasant, so I might as well call him Wu Ou." Wang Zhu quickly stopped him. This guy's name was all very unpleasant. Why call a good airplane something thief?

"Then it's Wu Ou." Zhu Bin followed the good deeds. This was the hard work of Engineer Wang and a lot of people. It deserves a good name.

Wang Zhu added: "Does the route you mentioned make sense? But don't let the Americans think it's an invasion and attack it. That would be bad luck."

Zhu Bin quickly stopped: "There must be no problem. Just don't worry."

Dragging Serena quickly to the plane and climbing on it, Serena acted as the pilot and started it skillfully. The two engines hummed and roared, and the slender fuselage slid lightly across the runway and soared into the sky.

In order to avoid the surveillance of the Japanese army, we still took off at night. We first flew about 200 kilometers due south, then turned southeast across the Ryukyu Islands and flew directly to the US military base airport in Guam, nearly 4,000 kilometers away. In order to ensure the range, we flew

After reaching high altitude, the speed was slowed down to 280 kilometers, and it was around ten o'clock the next morning that it slowly landed at the target airport.

Under the guidance of the US military, the plane slowly stopped and opened the hatch. Serena took off her helmet and climbed down the ladder. Her hot figure and beautiful appearance with blond hair and blue eyes immediately made a bunch of idle American soldiers say "Ouch"

He whistled and exclaimed: "Wow, God, I have never seen such a beautiful face. She is ten times more beautiful than Jane Harlow."

The ground crew who felt the same way nodded fiercely: "It's unbelievable that those guys above are willing to let such a beautiful girl become a test pilot. I must complain to them. It's too bad."

For this flight, Zhu Bin had already informed the United States in advance that this was the territory of the South Pacific Fleet and there were no problems. It was just announced that it was a test flight of a new fighter jet.

A group of soldiers looked at Zhu Bin in the back seat with his helmet and sunglasses covering his face with jealousy, and muttered jealously: "Who is this lucky guy who can fly with such a beautiful woman? I

Curse him to hell.”

"Yes, I hope he has nightmares about lying on a woman's belly every night, causing impotence and premature ejaculation..."

One was more vicious than the other, Serena could understand clearly, and she shouted with a cold face: "Shutup"

It was like a sonic cannon, which made a group of guys' heads buzz and almost fell down on the spot. They all shuddered and realized that since such a tough girl can be used as a driver, that guy is probably not an ordinary person, not a big boss like them.

If you can afford it, just shut up, fill up the tank, and watch the plane turn around and take off before disappearing."

Several soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and immediately started a heated discussion. Although the confidentiality regulations did not allow them to talk nonsense, it did not prevent them from talking collectively in a small area.

Fourteen more hours later, the plane landed at the newly built civilian airport on Midway Island.

Speaking of this airport, it has a lot to do with Zhu Bin. It was originally planned to start construction next year, but because of his cooperation with the Rockefeller family, the other party knew in advance that the era of aviation was bound to come, and started building a large number of airports in the country first.

, and built civilian airports one after another in places under the control of the United States in the blank Pacific and Atlantic regions. This was a hugely profitable business, not only selling oil, but also selling land and even controlling an airline.

Coupled with the involvement of the tycoon Howard Hughes in TWA, the American aviation industry today has almost all the conglomerates as its backers, and there is no reason why it should not prosper.

Because it was a civilian airport owned by the Rockefeller family, no one said anything. After refueling, the plane took a short rest. At dawn, it took off for the third time and rushed to the Pearl Harbor military airport to transfer for refueling. Then at about ten o'clock in the evening, the plane flew to the spaceship.

Where it enters the water, it stops steadily on the top of a connected offshore platform.

It took two days, two nights, 50 hours, and a journey of more than 14,000 kilometers. Most people really couldn't handle it, but the bodies of the two non-humans seemed to be completely fine. After the plane stopped, they jumped out and spread a thin layer of basalt fiber on them.

Stomping his feet vigorously on the cloth platform, Zhu Bin stretched his muscles and bones and exclaimed excitedly: "Finally there is a faster way."

The straight-line distance from Shanghai to the sunken site is more than 10,000 kilometers. It takes more than ten days to travel by boat. It is too slow. If the "Dark Arrow-2" is built, it will take more than ten hours at a speed of 900 kilometers per hour.

This place is really far away. It’s not easy to get there.

Now, it can at least be five or six times faster than before, which is pretty good.

The current offshore platform is completely different from last year. After the second batch of six frame slipways without any equipment were built and pulled over, they were spliced ​​with the original four to form a huge circular square array, which is 400 meters long and 270 meters wide.

meters, leaving a 90-meter-wide hollow in the middle, and a platform at the head.

Except for the isolated ones, giant mechanical arms are installed on all seven platforms to assist giant tower cranes, which closely link the ten platforms. Large anti-collision rubber modules and giant hydraulic support arms are installed above and below the surrounding waterline.

It is used to dock the giant ships that haul away ore.

In the inner layer, a five-meter-thick buffer structure has been constructed. The solid alloy surface goes deep into the water, and fine foam continuously rises under the impact of waves.

Four extremely large propellers and large motors with a diameter of more than seven meters are placed on the platform like giant monsters, and the outer packaging has not been removed.

The lifeboat slowly landed on the water from the sky. The two people climbed down the ladder to log in, and then dived deeply into the spacecraft more than 2,000 meters below.

Seeing the two people coming back, Einstein's disheveled head shook, and he asked with joy: "Oh, this time, are we going to surface?"

Zhu Bin nodded affirmatively: "Yes. Albert, you can finally get some real sunshine. I'm sorry it took so long."

Einstein shrugged: "This is much faster than I thought. But to be honest, I do miss the air and sea breeze outside, although it is not as clean and comfortable as here."

Elsa also smiled relaxedly, and like a hostess, laid out the fruit tea she had made for them.

Carruthers rushed over, glared at Zhu Bin and asked angrily: "When are you going to let us go?"

Zhu Bin blinked at him and asked instead: "Wallace, do you really want to leave? If I can provide a more comfortable research environment, more sufficient resources and equipment, and a loose space, don't you think it will be easier to achieve?"

Your ideal?".

"What are our ideals?" Carruthers argued dully. To be honest, he really couldn't find a better research environment in the world than here, and he is a simple-minded person. Everything is good here, except

lonely.

Zhu Bin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, there are hundreds of people working with you in the new laboratory, many of them Americans and Germans?"

Carruthers shook his head: "I don't care about that. Let me know before you go up." People with severe depression are indeed difficult to take care of, so he went back quietly.

Zhu Bin clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Then, let's get started." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward on Qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation.
