The people in the entire Chang'an City were stunned. Everyone in the entire Chang'an City was shocked. No one knew what this was?
When the huge black shadow appeared over Chang'an City, the eight hundred newspaper reporters who had already been arranged, as well as people invited by various newspapers, began to read the prepared manuscripts on the streets.
The people of Goguryeo are unfaithful and immoral...
Naturally, I started by scolding Goguryeo in a few hundred words.
After cursing Goguryeo, I next read.
God-given immortal craftsmanship helps us in the Tang Dynasty to build magical weapons and rain down divine fire on behalf of the sky. The objects flying in the sky are the Tang Dynasty aerial fortresses, which were agreed upon by the Tianying Pavilion and the Ministry of Rites. They are rated as Bi Fang level. Those who are Bi Fang are Zhao
It is also a fire bird, and the divine fire descended from the sky in the Tang Dynasty to show the power of the gods. One boat was named "Zhenyuan", which was the flying boat of the Tang Dynasty that flew to the sky and far away. The other boat was named "Weiyuan", which was the flying boat of the Tang Dynasty that flew to the sky and far away.
The heroic spirit of the Tang Dynasty is placed on the flying boat flying to Zhenyuan in the Tang Dynasty, and the soul of General Qu Tu, Duke of Chiang Kai-shek, is displayed to show that the spirit of the loyal heroes of the Tang Dynasty will always be there. May the heroic spirit of Duke Jiang bless us with the might of the Tang Dynasty and the might of our army all over the world!
In the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty flew to the sky and flew far away. His Highness, the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, personally conquered. Heaven’s policy was mighty, and the King of Qin was mighty!
The two airships slowly lowered their altitude. Only then did the people see the shape of the huge airship clearly. But what it looked like was hard for the people to describe.
The original painting of the airship was mainly blue, and many officials of Tianying Pavilion knew that this object was used for fire attacks from the air. Therefore, it was classified as Bi Fang class. This was also influenced by Wu Zhao. According to Wu Zhao
We will also build bigger and stronger airships, with each level representing a certain size of airship.
Later, red painting was added to the front, and light yellow was added to the rear half. There were some more red spots on the ship.
On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to Bifang, the bird of fire that has been passed down from ancient times.
The two ships lowered their altitude, and the Zhenyuan hovered above the Daci'en Temple, hoisting Qu Tutong's spiritual tablet in the soul-crushing tower into the ship, and then turned around to the north of the city. The Weiyuan actually landed in the open space next to Jingyang in the north of the city, with one side on its side.
Load supplies and invite envoys from various countries to board the ship.
Those who are qualified to board this ship are naturally envoys of some status.
Those from small states and small clans would go to Zhenyuan.
Just looking at this huge flying boat is scary enough, and having to ride it makes envoys from various countries even more uneasy.
Dare I ask if there is anyone in the world who can travel proudly to the heavenly traces!
The two flying boats of the Tang Dynasty seemed to hold not many people. Could it be that they relied on these two flying boats to teach Goguryeo a lesson?
War started in the Tang Dynasty. Hundreds of officials saw him off. Even the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan came. Li Yuan, who was wearing a formal dress, thought for a while and then thought again. He yelled at Li Er: "I can't stay in the palace and wait for news."
Li Er crossed his hands and hung them naturally. After hearing what Li Yuan said, he said: "My son also wants to go up. But the country cannot live without a king for a day. If the father is interested, it is better to drive Wu Lang down!"
"It's a joke. Without Wu Lang, who can command this battle? I want to board the boat!"
Li Er had no intention of stopping him at first, and even secretly brought Li Yuan's armor. Li Yuan laughed and ordered two guards to carry his armor. He only took the old attendant who had been following him with him.
The four of them boarded the flying boat.
After boarding the flying boat, Li Yuan realized that this place was divided into five areas.
One is the cargo compartment, which takes up half of the space. Then there is the place where the sergeants wait. There are a hundred sergeants here. Then there is the passenger compartment, which is just seats next to each other. Next is the command compartment and the driver's cabin connected together.
The last one is the flight cabin. No one is allowed to approach there, not even Li Yuan.
Entering the command cabin, he saw a frowning Li Yuanxing holding his chin and looking into the distance in a daze.
"Wu Lang!" Li Yuan stood beside Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing turned around blankly, and saw that Li Yuan stood up quickly, bowed and stepped aside: "I don't know that my father is here. This is rude..."
"Why is Wu Lang frowning?" Li Yuan asked, then stretched out his hand to press Li Yuanxing on the chair: "Here, Wu Lang, you sit, just give me a place to sit, Wu Lang is the commander-in-chief of this expedition!"
Li Yuanxing first waited for the folding chair for Li Yuan to be opened. After Li Yuan sat down, he sat down and then said: "This needs improvement. Erchen originally planned to be able to pull forty-five tons of cargo, but now it is different. The fine steel frame is too
It’s heavy. The steam engine is not light either, and it requires enough coal and water, so the load capacity is only 19 tons, which is really small!”
The nineteen tons mentioned by Li Yuanxing are Tang's nineteen tons, which is equivalent to more than thirteen tons of modern weight.
This load is quite a lot for the most primitive airship in modern times. But for the most advanced airship technology, it is too little, really too little. It is so little that Li Yuanxing cannot accept it. Only five incendiary bombs have been loaded.
Only four of the twenty crossbows originally designed were left.
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Wu Lang doesn't have to be unhappy about this. I believe that Wu Lang will definitely create a bigger and better one."
Just as he was talking, the hull of the ship shook slightly, and the officer on duty shouted: "Take off, tailwind!"
Li Yuanxing stood up, waved to Li Er in the distance from the window, and then said loudly: "Send a signal to the Zhenyuan, follow this ship, increase the speed at half speed, reach an altitude of 500 feet, and cruise at 70% speed!"
There was no telephone or communicator, so all messages were conveyed by shouting.
From the command cabin to the flight cabin at the back, people were shouting and delivering messages.
The envoys on the airship were stunned. Just seeing the outside leaving the ground through the small window and the slight shaking of the hull made them extremely nervous. As for what was shouted, they had no idea at all.
I only saw people kneeling back and forth and busy, but the guests had no idea what these people were doing.
Because it was the first long-distance flight, the craftsmen on the ship were naturally busy, measuring wind speed, testing the impact of wind on the airship, testing the degree of stability, etc.
In addition to the guards of Prince Qin's palace, the only ones standing guard at the guest cabin were the four Japanese led by Ichijo Hui.
Ichijo Fai is very courageous. He went from being scared to excited, and then to endless admiration.
His Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, the Star Lord in heaven, and the living god in the world. This is not a rumor, this is a fact! But he envied Konoe Tadayoshi who was standing in the command warehouse even more. Konoe Tadayoshi's status was obviously higher than him.
Just as he was thinking about it, Konoe Tadahito came out and handed a folded piece of paper to Ichijo Teru.
The order Konoe Tadahito received was to take a note to the security staff at the passenger cabin and ask the security staff to explain the flight to the guests. He did not know anyone else but Ichijo Teru, so he handed the note to Ichijo Teru.
Ichijo Teru and Konoe Tadahito nodded to each other.
"Dear guests of the Tang Dynasty, this trip is planned to last five to six hours. At lunch, the guards will distribute flight meals. Guests who need convenience please enter the airship clean room in turn. After six hours, we will arrive in Laizhou, our Empire of the Tang Dynasty.
Let’s have dinner. Laizhou has prepared delicious seafood. Please don’t walk around in the boat casually. If you have any questions, please raise your hand to ask!”
When Ichijo Hui mentioned Laizhou, he specifically added the phrase "Datang Empire."
In his eyes, the world is so big. Only the Tang Dynasty can use the word empire. Being able to speak to envoys from all nations here is the eternal glory of his family. This is something he will never get on the Japanese island.
.
When Yi Yihui finished reciting, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Laizhou, Laizhou is three thousand miles away from Chang'an."
Three thousand miles. Yihui was startled when he heard this distance. He was really afraid that he had mispronounced it. But when he looked at the note again, it did say Laizhou. He was also a little nervous, fearing that he had mispronounced it.
A guard from Prince Qin's Mansion quietly approached Yi Yihui and whispered: "The flying boat is five hundred miles per hour. If it rushes at full speed, it can reach six hundred and fifty miles per hour. Don't be nervous, just tell them the truth.
.Change the shift in an hour and let the brothers tell you about this flying boat!"
Naturally, all the guards in the Qin Palace have received instructions.
Conquering the Japanese is an important task.
However, Ichijo Fai was filled with gratitude. In his opinion, this was the respect the Tang people showed for him.
After nodding to express his thanks, Ichijo Hui said loudly to the guest cabin: "The flying boat can fly as fast as 650 miles per hour. At this time, it is traveling at a speed of about 500 miles. It will reach Laizhou in six hours."
Just as he was talking, another person exclaimed: "Hangu Pass! Hangu Pass of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yuanxing was sitting in the command warehouse. The sound insulation effect here was not very good. When he heard Li Yuanxing laughing at Hangu Pass, he was showing off the power of the Tang Dynasty. The speed at 70% was about 450 miles per hour, and everyone would take off now.
It was almost an hour later when I saw something unexpected at Hangu Pass.
But when he heard about Hangu Pass, Li Yuan stood up excitedly, walked to the window and looked down.
"It's really Hangu Pass, which is five hundred miles away from Chang'an!"
Li Yuanxing wanted to say that the distance in the sky is different from that on the ground. The road on the ground is curved, but it is straight in the sky. You only need to align the angle of the sun according to time, and it will not go astray. The distance on the ground from Chang'an to Laizhou is more than three thousand
miles, but the flying distance is only about 2,500 miles.
"Ask, if the machine is stable, can we increase the speed by 10%?"
Li Yuanxing asked, and there was another loud message in the warehouse. There was also a reply from the flight warehouse: the machine is stable and can reach full speed within the limit.
Full speed within a limit is another new term. Li Yuanxing specially explained it to Li Yuan. The limit of the machine is the maximum safe speed. Of course it can be faster, but the machine is more laborious. Unless there is something particularly urgent or dangerous, the machine
This limit will never be exceeded.
Li Yuan understood: "This is about cherishing horsepower. Excessive consumption of horsepower will make it difficult for the horse to recover from injury!"
"Father is wise!"
Li Yuan ignored Li Yuanxing's nonsense and just asked: "I don't know how long it will take to see Luoyang!"
"Send the order at 80% speed." After giving the order, Li Yuanxing replied: "We will arrive in Luoyang within half an hour!"
Li Yuan turned around and said, "Wu Lang, tell me. If this flying boat can achieve exactly what Wu Lang wants, how fast can it be?"
"Yeah!" Li Yuanxing thought for a while. If this thing can reach the aluminum alloy hull of later generations, coupled with a high-power internal combustion engine, it can reach 300 kilometers per hour, but in Datang, it will take at least three
Years of preparation are required, and it is estimated that it will take five years to reach that level.
"Father, it is estimated that in five years, a top-notch flying boat will travel 1,800 miles per hour without wind!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
