"Smile, smile, keep smiling. If you hadn't affected my performance, I would definitely be able to ride on it!"
The young man became anxious and angrily scolded the people around him.
"Oh, he's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!"
"I'm just telling you, there's no way a car with two wheels can stand up."
A middle-aged man shook his head.
"That's right, if I could stand up, I would eat this bicycle on the spot!"
"Me too!"
Perhaps because of the stimulation, the young man fell silent, turned his grief into strength, and got on the bicycle again.
"Look, the baby is getting in the car again."
"Pedal, pedal, he pedaled."
"Damn it, you can really stand up!"
The young man seemed to be very talented and after trying the ride once, he quickly got the hang of it.
The legs and feet should be strong to start, and the hands should be steady in holding the handle, and should not be weak and swaying.
It only takes a small step to ride.
The young man mastered the trick and rode around the crowd several times, grinning from the corners of his mouth to his ears.
He smiled and said: "Oh, it's fun! From now on, I will ride a bicycle to and from the factory!"
The people around looked surprised and said in amazement: "You can really ride!"
Many people hurriedly returned home and discussed buying a bicycle with their relatives.
They couldn't afford a steam locomotive, but they could buy a bicycle if they gritted their teeth.
Nowadays, Daming's transportation network is improving. Having a bicycle is not only convenient for commuting to and from get off work, but also makes traveling far away less troublesome than before.
Of course, there are also those who indulge in watching the excitement.
"Where's the guy who just said he was eating bicycles? Where did he go?"
"Yes, come out and perform to open everyone's eyes."
Then, there was laughter in front of the bicycle shop, filling the atmosphere with joy.
In Ming Dynasty, as the Ministry of Industry analyzed technical data, many technologies began to be transferred to the civilian field.
These civilian technologies are reflected in people's lives as novel products.
On Jinling Commercial Street, new products appear every day.
For example, with the expansion of Jinling Thermal Power Station, some commercial streets and key streets in the city have been connected with cables.
These cables travel through the city through underground passages, and then branch out in a certain area and return to the surface to supply power to surrounding electrical equipment.
With the application of electricity, some new products have appeared in people's vision.
The bulky floor-standing electric fan is one of the best-selling products.
In the hot summer, a bed, a mat, a mosquito net, and a floor-standing electric fan.
This is the memory of a generation.
The summer in Jinling is not too hot this year.
Late August.
The Dingyuan at Jinling Port weighed anchor and set off.
As the royal ship of the Ming Emperor, the Ministry of Industry widened the command tower and renovated the small steel house inside.
Zhu Zaiming stepped into the emperor's suite on the Dingyuan and was very satisfied with the bright and clean room.
A bed, a row of bookshelves, a set of desks, and a secret door leading directly to the interior of the main gun turret at the front.
The command tower and turret, as the thickest armored areas of the entire battleship, are extremely safe.
The Dingyuan set off and finally arrived at Chongming Island.
Fifty thousand indigenous volunteers are working hard to excavate the underground space of Chongming Fortress.
On the west side of Chongming Fortress, an area surrounded by barbed wire is the only location of the Ming Air Force.
It is also the only training base.
In the center of the area, several rows of buildings are neatly arranged.
There are dormitories for soldiers, small machinery factories, and huge shed-roofed buildings for retracting and retracting aircraft.
On the right side of the air control tower, on several long and wide specially-made concrete open spaces, a "fancy" ship-shaped airship was fixed to the open spaces by cables.
The airbag protective shell above her is more than 50 meters long and 20 meters wide.
Below is a small cabin that protrudes four to five meters, and Zhu Zaiming can see the driving station inside through the glass window.
A group of officials from the Ministry of Works came in and out, very busy.
Xu Qi stood next to Zhu Zaiming and introduced him to the basic situation of the airship.
"Your Majesty, this is the third-generation airship. It has a steel frame keel that runs through the front and rear.
Above the keel is the airbag placement area, and below is the passenger area and cab. "
After Xu Qi's explanation, Zhu Zaiming had a clear understanding of the airship.
In fact, it is a super-shrunken beggar version of the later Zeppelin airship.
It has a crew of 12 and a load of no more than 3 tons.
Moreover, compared to the Zeppelin's use of a large number of motors, the Ministry of Industry's ship is much shabby.
Although the propeller also uses a motor, the lead-acid battery it has has limited power storage, and the working time of the motor is limited to 3 hours.
Under normal circumstances, motors are generally not used, but are driven by high-altitude air currents.
Such limitations are huge.
Because the airship of the Ministry of Industry does not have an air compressor installed to recover hydrogen, firstly, the power is not allowed, and secondly, a useful air compressor is still on the drawings of the Ministry of Industry.
This makes it impossible for the airship to rise and fall at will to drift with the help of airflow after releasing the ballast water and taking off.
If you mix too much dough, add water. If there is too much water, add more noodles.
Airships rise and fall at high altitudes.
If the height is low, release water; if the height is high, release air.
If you let out too much air, you have to consider landing.
However, even though the Ministry of Industry's airship has various shortcomings, Daming can only come up with this usable airship now.
Some of them are useful, but there are so many opinions.
The Air Force could only enter the airship with tears at the corners of its mouth and began the test.
Zhu Zaiming is coming to participate in the test of the first practical airship.
As the lights of the control tower flashed, the ground crew who had been prepared untied the cables.
The bottom of the airship began to release ballast water.
After a while, the airship began to rise in the eyes of everyone.
Slowly, the airship gradually rose to an altitude of hundreds of meters.
Everyone in the air force base and at the Chongming Fortress construction site in the distance saw a huge object rising into the sky.
On the surface of the gray-white airship, a golden dragon is entwined. The dragon's head is just at the front of the airship, and the dragon's mouth is open, which is breathtaking.
"Fly, fly!"
Huge cheers came from the air force base, and Zhu Zaiming also waved to the airship in the sky amidst the cheers of the crowd.
On the airship, in the cab.
Li Siming held the binoculars and looked at the ground through the porthole of the cab, and saw Zhu Zaiming's kind smile.
Li Siming put down the telescope, took a deep breath, and returned to the command platform to start various tests.
Two soldiers passed through the corridor and entered the steel frame passage above the keel.
On both sides of the keel, dozens of huge air bags are connected to the steel frame, filling the entire space.
A soldier walked while checking the pressure gauge fixed on the steel frame channel.
Another soldier checked the bolts on the keel to see if they had become loose due to the overall tension change due to the airship taking off.
Under the keel, some soldiers were inspecting the water tank and the universal electric propeller.
everything is normal.
