Year 136 of the Star Era.
After two years of research and training, the Star Empire's first manned aircraft was born.
On an endless straight road.
Now it is surrounded by a large number of troops.
Every ten meters, there must be a soldier wearing a Star Empire combat uniform and holding a rifle, standing like an asphalt tree.
The people were also informed in advance that this road would be used as a military operations area.
Once discovered, they may be jailed or sentenced to death.
so.
No common people can be seen within one kilometer of this road.
The end of the road.
There were several cars and no less than a thousand soldiers from the Royal Forest Army, guarding the surroundings for fear that someone would be harmful to the emperor.
Emperor Yang Yu, as well as the current Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, Dean of the Academy of Engineering, etc., are looking forward to it.
The birth of the airplane is bound to bring changes to the Star Empire.
This is mankind's first exploration of the sky, and they are all looking forward to it.
Human flying is the first step. If it succeeds, will it mean that they can also leave the planet where they live in the future?
As for letting the emperor go up and test it?
What a joke.
How could the emperor do such a dangerous test?
Steam trains and automobiles are all things that run on the ground, but airplanes fly in the sky. Once they fall, there will be no bones left.
Moreover, Yang Yu would not do such dangerous tests when the technology was not very mature.
"Your Majesty, here you come."
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the sky, and a black spot was getting closer and closer. The dean of the Academy of Engineering quickly put down the telescope in his hand, excited.
What we are most looking forward to now is whether this plane can land safely.
If you land safely.
That officially means that the Star Empire begins to move towards the vast sky.
same.
Yang Yu's heart was lifted at this moment, and he kept praying that he would land safely.
This is related to whether the star empire's space dream can be realized.
As the wheels of the plane landed safely on the ground, everyone's hearts dropped a lot.
When they saw the plane parked smoothly 500 meters in front of them, everyone put their hearts back in their stomachs and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Let's go over and see our star empire, the first warrior to fly into the sky."
Yang Yu put down the telescope in his hand and walked towards the distance with a smile.
When the scientific researchers heard the emperor's words, they followed him one after another. They needed the parameters of this aircraft and to ensure the performance of the aircraft.
"Zhao Lizhen is here to see your Majesty. Your Majesty will live forever, and your empire will live forever."
Zhao Lizhen, who got off the plane and flew the plane into the sky, looked excited and felt like lightning. It was so refreshing.
The sky is so big and the earth is so vast.
It's much more magnificent than standing on the mountain.
"Excuse me! Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Yang Yu also saluted him with a military salute and asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal about my body."
"Okay, okay, you are indeed a good son of our Star Empire, but I still want the doctor to check your physical condition."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
…
Two hours later.
Yang Yu returned to the Imperial Palace, and the president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering immediately reported the parameters of the aircraft.
"The takeoff speed is 110 kilometers per hour, the maximum speed can reach 150 kilometers per hour, and the maximum climb is 658 meters. The aircraft's fuselage will vibrate..."
Yang Yu looked at the easy-to-understand explanation in front of him and looked at the new prime minister and finance minister beside him, "My dear friends, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, the role of airplanes is great. Needless to say, the speed is definitely the fastest in the world today."
"If it can be expanded and the speed remains unchanged, can it be used to carry people or transport people?"
“This will again be a quick way to ship.”
The Chancellor of Finance still has a very long-term vision, and he has almost seen through what role aircraft will play in the future.
Can someone who runs on the ground fly as fast as someone who flies in the sky?
When you run on the ground, you still need to take detours and run more. Winding mountain roads are the best example.
And what about in heaven?
Which one saves more time, you can calculate it casually and you will understand.
"There is no rush for commercial use. The empire is still in the exploratory stage regarding aircraft. We still need to ensure stability and train more pilots before we can use it commercially. However, we can build an aircraft site in advance."
"Moreover, the emergence of aircraft will inevitably affect the empire's military strength. Now that we already have two major branches, the army and the navy, why can't we add another branch?"
"National defense strength is the way to stabilize the empire and reform and strengthen the army. I suggest that things like aircraft need to be equipped with priority in the army, and they can be divided into two types, military type and commercial type."
The Prime Minister's thinking is clear. The empire is currently in the exploration and research period of aircraft, so it cannot be too anxious for the time being.
If you are anxious, things may happen easily.
"Well, that's true! The Ministry of Finance should not stick to the neck of the Academy of Engineering. They are all serving the development of the empire. Trying to stick to the neck of the Academy of Engineering is tantamount to digging one's own grave and hindering the development process of our Star Empire."
"Promise, I will not hinder the great cause of the empire!"
…
Soon, the news that the Imperial Academy of Engineering had developed a device that could fly into the sky like a bird was directly publicized by the Imperial Daily.
Human beings who could only live on the ground began to gradually move towards the sky.
This will definitely be a moment remembered by history.
It was also the highlight moment of the two engineers who developed the aircraft.
Due to the emergence of aircraft, the Star Empire began to form an air force. Zhao Lizhen, who was the first to fly in the sky, became the first commander of the air force and was responsible for teaching the students how to control and drive the aircraft.
With the passage of time, the Star Empire has gone further and further in the research of aircraft.
Various types of aircraft gradually appeared in this world.
It was not until the year 201 of the Star Era that the Star Empire finally reached its peak in the second industrial era.
In the electrical age, basically everything that can be studied has been studied.
In various aspects, it has reached its extreme.
The military, economy, politics and culture of the entire civilization are enough to defeat the civilization of the earth during World War II, before the atomic bomb appeared.
But in the year 201 of the Star Era, an X-ray and a radioactive theory article appeared on the desk of the Dean of the Academy of Engineering almost at the same time.
The appearance of these two articles immediately attracted the attention of the Dean of the Academy of Engineering.
This is very likely to be the step that the Star Empire takes towards the next era. .
He also wanted to be written into the empire's textbooks and into the history of the empire, just like the legendary dean who passed away on the same day as Prime Minister Zhou Paze.
This is the highest honor for their scientific researchers.
