The China at that time was the China a few years ago, not the China it is now several years ago.
In the past few years, the prosperity of maritime trade has attracted a large number of low-level heroes to participate. Gradually, a very high-quality talent force has been directly formed, and a strong army can even be formed at any time.
But there was no such power at that time. To engage in sea trade at that time, if you wanted to recruit sailors, you could only find fishermen, or those who had never actually gone to sea. They mainly helped the families of wealthy families carry goods and pull fiber in the rivers near the coastline.
Later, this group of sailors who had received a certain amount of education and were also highly moral were completely different from each other.
Facing organized, well-trained, and well-armed "sea bandits" who are, in a word, powerful "sea bandits" backed by large-scale national power, this maritime trade business will naturally not be able to continue, and the emperor must also
Think of a way. However, as mentioned before,
The merchants and the sailors recruited by the merchants themselves could not think of any way to deal with the situation. Although Li Er was angry and sent troops, it is conceivable that there was no way to deal with it.
After being stuck like this for a while, of course, in the end, it was the Duke and General Chai Shao who found Li Sheng, and with the help of Li Sheng's power, Datang got the airship thing - with this cheating
After using the best investigation methods, the Imperial Army was naturally unstoppable. They could easily defeat this enemy force without any strategy by taking just a few steps.
Although it is a pity that their commander succeeded in breaking through, but Youdao is an inevitable series in life. This Xianbei man named Yuan Gaisuwen eventually fell into the hands of the Chinese Forbidden Army, and his name was even removed and changed to
The name Li Wenyuan was mentioned, but this part is a topic for later and has nothing to do with what Li Sheng is going to do at the moment.
What is related to what Li Sheng is going to do now is that because he had already built a reconnaissance airship for military use at that time, now that Li Sheng wants to build a new version, it is not that difficult - at least, the heat generation
Air installations are readily available!
This directly saves a lot of effort, but of course, it can't be said that it saves half the effort, because the combustion device is relatively simple after all, and it is not as good as the gas stoves of later generations that require pressure control.
With precise control, as long as the combustion can be stable and the fuel output can be stably controlled, it will be considered a success.
Really complex.
Of course, the airship that Li Sheng plans to build this time is not an ordinary style, that is, it is not the one from back then. The airships at that time were not considered airships in the final analysis, but could only be called hot air balloons.
As those people understand, this is just a large Kongming Lantern.
What Li Sheng wants to build this time is a real airship - now he is visiting the Bay Manor on Qiongzhou Island. Although the quality of the manor itself is the most important, it is precisely because the manor Li Sheng wants to build is not a plantation manor.
, but as a comprehensive tourism industry, quality must of course depend on various details.
In the future, we will welcome tourists to check in and spend money, and we must do our best to make tourists more enthusiastic about checking in and spending the most money. Of course, the details must start from the most basic places, such as the way tourists enter and exit.
There is a strait between Qiongzhou Island and China's mainland, the Central Plains. This is undoubtedly a suitable point to make an issue of. How can people travel through the strait to be as interesting and interesting as possible?
First of all, this is of course a luxury ferry, but this is undoubtedly not in line with Li Sheng's taste - it's not that the ferry itself is not good, but that this kind of thing will definitely be everywhere in China in the future - have you not seen the emperor Li Er?
They have all decided to explore America and open up the world!
At that time, ships will undoubtedly become the same thing as donkeys and horses to China. What kind of experience can this have?
Of course, it doesn’t mean that the boat will no longer be experienced after it becomes like this. It can even be said that by that time, the Chinese people may have begun to have feelings for the boat just like they did back then - no, it was the Angsa pirates later.
If this ferry is well made, it can also be a selling point.
However, it is obvious that you don’t need to worry about this kind of thing, because the shipbuilding industry must have become extremely developed by then, and the construction of that kind of luxury ferry will probably not need to be worried about at all. And for the same reason, it is said that
Maybe by then, luxury ferries will be everywhere and they won’t be considered rare items at all.
To achieve differentiation, of course we have to find another way, and the first thing Li Sheng thought of was an airship—a real airship.
Of course, by then, airships may also be spread all over the world.
According to Li Sheng's estimation, the momentum of the Tang Dynasty's shipbuilding industry's rapid development is unlikely to stop. If you don't build a luxury ferry yourself, it will only appear within a few years, not to mention that he has already built one in Hangzhou.
How many sail and diesel hybrid yachts are there?
But it is impossible for airships to be spread everywhere within a few years.
This is possible!
The same thing is similar to the mobile phone iPhone 4 in the previous life. If Apple also chooses to build a traditional mobile phone to compete with Nokia, then even if it has the power of a mobile phone, it will definitely not be as successful as it was later, and its share will be invincible.
But at that time, Apple took a different approach and directly launched the fourth generation, which directly caused a dimensionality reduction blow to Nokia's entire series of mobile phones.
Now in Li Sheng's opinion, there is no doubt that this airship is of the same nature - just this way of traveling, isn't it worth trying it out?
But this airship is not simple.
Li Sheng soon knew that he was embarking on a big project. He couldn't help but sigh at how awesome Gang Leader Qiao was when he launched the 4th generation.
Although the airship looks like a hot air balloon, it is not as simple as the one used to detect enemy situations. It only has a stove that can only adjust the amount of fuel and is not very sensitive, and then a frame and a frame made of animal skin.
Hot air balloons are completely different.
A real airship must first be large, it must be very large - because after all, this thing is used to carry passengers and is a commercial item.
As for commercial products, how can it be okay if the load capacity is insufficient?
It has no power, no size, no scale, and it’s just a commercial mess.
And since it needs to be able to fully carry passengers, not to mention the size, the previous version cannot satisfy just the combustion stove - to put it bluntly, this part of the "omitted effort" actually has to be added back.
.
And even if the problem with the furnace is solved, the control can be balanced, stable and silky smooth.
