Chapter 542 King Qin's Air Fortress [Another Monthly Ticket]
Those who have real status and sufficient talents are very reliable in themselves. Wu Zhao thought about this in detail on the way. Only twenty-seven people entered the small conference room, among which Lu Chengqing was the general person in charge of this project.
Responsible to Wu Zhao.
"Eighty feet long, sixteen feet high, and twenty feet wide!" Wu Zhao frightened people as soon as he opened his mouth.
What is so huge?
"The King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty secretly ordered that Yaozhou must complete the first air fortress of the Tang Dynasty within seven months. The Goguryeo people will never keep their promises, so they must know how powerful our Tang Dynasty is."
After Wu Zhao finished speaking, he took a few steps back and threw a slide on the curtain.
What Wu Zhao chose was the German Zeppelin airship of the early 19th century, which was a purely rigid airship. Coupled with the improvements in technology in later generations, Wu Zhao predicted that Datang would go all out to produce a better airship than the original German ones.
"Record the order!" Wu Zhao's voice was sharp but serious.
"The first air fortress in the Tang Dynasty had a take-off load of 450,000 kilograms and a flight speed of 500 miles per hour. Remember, this is the art of immortal craftsmanship."
When Wu Zhao mentioned the art of immortal craftsmanship, there was no need to say more.
Yaozhou naturally has a set of confidentiality manuals.
The steam engine is within the scope of special-level secrecy. This magical craftsmanship should be special-level. Li Changxin said that it must be watched closely. This big flying guy alone can carry 450,000 kilograms of important things, five times an hour.
Baili, this is going to be imitated by others, it is really too dangerous.
Wu Zhao took a sip of water:
"Steam workshop, I will give you the drawings. I want the most exquisite steam engine. Don't talk about difficulties, I just want to see the results. For the steel you need, go to the steel workshop and ask for it."
"Steel Workshop, you must be careful about the skeleton of the Sky Fortress. It must all be made of special-grade fine steel. No more, as long as you provide 100,000 kilograms, but the rivets must also be special-grade fine steel. All machines can be used by your Steel Workshop first."
"Weaving workshop, leather workshop. I need a kind of air-tight fabric, whether it is pigskin, sheepskin, cowhide, silk, linen, anything. It must not only be air-tight, but also strong.
The most important thing is to have a certain degree of expansion. You can do whatever you want, I just want results."
"Wood workshop, bamboo workshop. I want you to choose the strongest and lightest materials. Save the materials for later use."
"Xiangongfang selects the most brilliant Taoists, and I teach them the method of refining Feitian Qi."
"Finally, the shipyard will start building large ships. Before April tomorrow, at least sixteen large ships with 500 materials can be launched. At the same time, construction of four large ships with 1,000 materials will begin in Laizhou. The ships use high-power steam engines to propel them, and the steam workshop will be able to
If it is made for me, it must be of high quality, without any flaws!"
There was no answer, just the sound of quickly writing down with a pen.
"Lu Fuyin, whose territory is Yincheng County?" Wu Zhao asked.
"Back to Princess Mingyue, this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty." Lu Chengqing is a ruthless person. He has only been in the Qin Palace for a year and has transformed from an ordinary scholar into a real ruthless person. He has been on the battlefield and executed prisoners.
He has been whipped himself. He knows one thing: for the sake of the country, all those who stand in the way will be crushed to pieces!
"There is the best coal there, the mining workshop..." Wu Zhao thought for a while and shook his head. With Datang's current technology, it would be difficult to find a coal mine there, start digging, and then select good coal.
After a long time, Wu Zhao changed the order because he was afraid that it would be a waste of manpower and something would be missed.
"First select the best coal in the Yaozhou coal mine and save it. Lu Fuyin should pay attention to Yincheng County!"
Is it attention?
Lu Chengqing knew very well that although it was still six or seven hundred miles away from Yaozhou, since there was very good coal there, this was a reason, either for trading, supervision, or direct control.
That night, Lu Chengqing started demarcating land in Yaozhou.
Twenty-seven people in total, including the chief and deputy directors of the eight major workshops, the chief technical engineer (chief technical engineer), Lu Chengqing, Li Chang, and the general of the army, stood on the top of the valley most of the night.
"Here, the sacred object was built next to the valley, sealing both ends of the valley entrance. No pedestrians are allowed on the valley. The secret of this place can be well protected." Li Chang always thought that this place was a good place, and there were no trees in it, so basically
A rocky valley. It was originally intended to be a secret warehouse, but now it is perfect for building airships.
Lu Chengqing also recognized this location.
Instead, the blacksmith said: "This divine object is eighty feet long. I'm afraid it weighs six to seven hundred thousand kilograms including its own weight plus the load it can carry. With such a heavy thing flying into the sky, who can live to see this miracle?"
, it’s worth dying.”
Li Chang was more direct, kneeling down and shouting: "The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
The most distinguished people in the Yaozhou workshop are excited about the magical object. They believe that as long as His Highness the King of Qin allows it to be made, it will only take a little effort, and it will definitely be possible to fly.
Wu Zhao was sitting in his room, but he was not so confident.
First some materials.
The two main materials are the keel and the bracket. In later generations, aluminum alloys or even titanium alloys could be used, which are light and strong. But here only steel can be used, although the design drawings were obtained from the modern Peking University Institute of Technology.
It has been proven that great efforts have been made to reduce the amount of steel and make a more reasonable design.
But Wu Zhao is still worried about whether the quality of the steel can meet the requirements.
Can the steel wire be pulled thinner and wound tighter?
Let’s talk about another material, which is the cloth used for inflating. If it cannot meet the requirements, if the number of thirty-six airbags originally designed is increased, the weight of brackets, steel wires, cloth, etc. will increase.
Then I am worried about the steam engine. Although it is a steam turbine type, it cannot achieve sufficient charging power, propulsion, etc., and whether it can control the open flame, because it uses hydrogen after all.
On the other side, in Qin Wangzhuang.
Li Yuanxing also had some minor worries. The content of his worries was completely different from that of Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao was worried about whether the production could be better. Li Yuanxing was worried about whether Li Er would want to seize his airship and then oversee the country by himself.
He ran away to Liaodong. This is a real big trouble.
Tonight is the day when Li Yuanxing returns to modern times. After checking his luggage again, Li Yuanxing puts the list left by Wu Zhao in his arms.
Security is already in place outside the study, and the journey is only a few minutes away.
Cui Yanyan was sitting and reading in the lounge next to the study. Tonight was her night. She hoped to be close to him and wait for His Highness King Qin to return.
In modern times, it is already two o'clock in the morning, and Li Lanshan is sitting on the computer watching the TV series Xuanwumen.
After Li Yuanxing came back, he pushed the box to the corner of the room and fell naked on the bed. Li Lanshan did not look back, but asked softly: "Are you in a bad mood?"
"I ordered the construction of the airship." Li Yuanxing said with a smile.
Li Lanshan slowly closed the computer and turned around: "Who offended you? Your airship was originally planned to be used by Tufan as a logistics force. Now that we are in such a hurry to build it, I estimate that the airship will take at least a year.
."
"I underestimated my subordinates. The first ship took seven years. After that, I can go faster as I become more proficient. By next year, steel production will increase. I have my own thermal power plant and I dare to try electrolytic aluminum. Five years later,
There may be the first truly giant super airship, and I will name it King Qin when the time comes!"
Li Yuanxing said confidently.
Li Lanshan smiled and kissed Li Yuanxing gently on the face: "Next year, you will secretly laugh when you have a power plant the year after that."
"Strive for December next year, there are still seventeen months left!" Li Yuanxing's words made Li Lanshan laugh non-stop.
"Tell me who offended you."
"Goguryeo fixed me up. On the morning of the third day after I returned to Datang, I had to run naked in Chang'an. I calculated the distance and it was about five to seven kilometers. I still need to maintain my appearance, so I can't go too far.
Come on, at a speed of three kilometers per hour, it will take me an hour."
After Li Yuanxing finished telling what happened that day, Li Lanshan couldn't stop giggling.
"You don't sympathize with me."
"How about I make a bet with you?"
"What kind of bet!" Li Yuanxing was a little confused and didn't know what Li Lanshan meant.
Li Lanshan walked to the desk and wrote something, then put it in an envelope, sealed it with wax in front of Li Yuanxing, and handed it to Li Yuanxing: "I believe my guess, I also believe my man, I believe it even more
My man is definitely not a coward in the Tang Dynasty, the King of Qin, so this is the result of my guess. At the end of the day, you open it and read it, and burn it after reading it, because the people of the Tang Dynasty cannot understand what is written on it, nor can they understand it.
Good to see!”
"Okay!" Li Yuanxing put the envelope away.
Li Lanshan helped Li Yuanxing pull back the quilt and said in a more serious tone: "The morning after tomorrow, you will go to court. Although this is the first court appearance and there will be no results, you should have a good rest these two days!"
"You haven't said what you want to bet on?" Li Yuanxing asked.
What did Li Lanshan want to bet on? When Li Yuanxing asked her, her mind changed again.
I originally thought that the man who knew me better must know more than Ye Qiu Shuang. But now think about it, what's the point of being better than this?
I am supporting Li Yuanxing in my own way.
Ye Qiu Shuang is also using her own methods to support Li Yuanxing. She is helping Li Yuanxing supervise the production of airships.
This is a big project, and it can be said that for the Tang Dynasty, it is no less influential than the construction of the Tang Dynasty Palace.
No more comparison.
"If I win, I want you to buy me a villa in Singapore. A top-notch and gorgeous one, and one that is close to the sea and has a beautiful beach. The most important thing is that in addition to the house, the surrounding environment must be sufficient.
It’s so big, it has a garden and everything, and a swimming pool is indispensable!” Li Lanshan looked like a lion with her mouth open. (To be continued...)
