The place where they are located is mountainous and the terrain is high, which has a natural advantage for the heavy industrial areas at the foot of the mountains.
Although a series of ultra-long attack range weapons such as the Dragon Flame Cannon are obviously not enough in the face of such a distance, they cannot launch effective artillery strikes on the heavy industrial area at the foot of the mountain.
However, this does not mean that there is no way to attack the heavy industrial area at the foot of the mountain.
Liu Zheng remembered a book he read in his last life, which introduced the use and research of gliders.
For this kind of glider, which is closely related to the kite invented in human history, there was no so-called power device when it was first researched and invented.
The structure is also very crude.
It still needs human power to fly, and it is extremely unstable, and the distance it can fly is also very short.
After all, after the original glider prototype was produced, its only purpose was to send people into the sky and let them fly in the air, but this goal was successfully achieved.
It was only after the invention of the engine and a series of improvements that the airplane was officially invented.
However, the glider did not disappear from the stage of history.
Instead, it became an extreme challenge sport and survived. Liu Zheng once read about the manufacturing of gliders.
The manufacturing structure of a glider is not very difficult, but the invention process is difficult.
This process requires constant trial and error in order to gain success through mistakes and maybe a little bit of experience, but for Liu Zheng, there is no need for such a complicated research process.
What is recorded in his mind are all success stories.
He just needs to let his scientific research team present these successful cases again.
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng immediately summoned the weapons manufacturing and research department of the Long Yan Army.
Long Yanjun experienced Liu Zheng's reforms.
Among his requirements, every Longyan Army must have a maintenance and research team.
Weapons used to maintain Dragon Flame and the possibility of discovering and exploring more combat weapons and equipment.
This unit is no exception.
Soon, Liu Zheng summoned his troops and told them his thoughts.
"We need to drop strikes from the air and attack the heavy industrial areas of Saxony."
"But we can't fly, so do you have any good ideas for this matter?"
When everyone heard Liu Zheng's thoughts, the first thought in their minds was that Liu Zheng was talking nonsense, but the next thought was, no, if the person standing in front of them was someone else, they could think like this.
But it was Liu Zheng who proposed this idea!
He is the legend who single-handedly pushed Long Yan into a new era, Liu Zheng, the first assistant of the dynasty, Master Liu!
His ideas were too wild and wild, but none of them were unrealized.
As the captain of the scientific research and maintenance team of this army, Wang Congyang thought for a while and said: "According to my understanding, in the history of Long Yan, there were talented people and strangers who once invented a paper lantern to transmit messages."
"Some people also invented paper kites to deliver messages."
"But I have never heard that they can send people to heaven."
Liu Zheng nodded. The first thing Wang Congyang mentioned was the Kongming Lantern, which is launched using the principle of hot air rising. There is no hot air balloon invented yet.
Otherwise, Wang Congyang's words would definitely be slapped in the face.
The Kite is the original prototype of a glider. The two are inextricably linked, as they both use airflow to fly into the air.
But a glider is many times more complicated than a kite.
After all, it is about sending people to heaven.
"You are right. Have you ever thought that if you combine a paper kite with a bird, you can invent an object that can send people to heaven?" Liu Zheng guided them.
Everyone thought for a while and found that they had never had such an idea.
You may have fantasized about humans soaring in the sky, but those are all fairy tales.
After Wang Congyang thought for a moment, he pondered: "With all due respect, Mr. Liu Zheng, this idea is too crazy. We have never done such research."
"But if you have experiments to do, we are very happy to do this research." Wang Congyang's eyes flashed with enthusiasm.
This was a fanatical expression from the scientist. Liu Zheng looked at his expression and nodded with great satisfaction.
He threw out a piece of information, which was an imaginary glider based on his memories.
Liu Zheng is not clear about the specific details and parameters, but these details can be figured out through repeated tests.
Wang Congyang picked up the document, which showed the model structure drawn by Liu Zheng, as well as the assembly and completion of various parts. His mind was suddenly filled with excitement.
"This is my idea last night. Can you see if it can be realized according to our current situation?" Liu Zheng said calmly.
Wang Congyang's face was startled. He looked at the information and then at Liu Zheng, his eyes filled with passion!
"Sir, if there is such information, I think it can definitely be produced."
"However, the only difficulty now is that we are in the mountains of Saxony and lack the necessary materials."
"Without the steel structure, it is estimated that there is no way to manufacture this kind of glider."
Liu Zheng shook his head: "With the current technology, there is no way to make lighter steel. Let's use bamboo instead."
"After all, the most important thing we do now is not to ensure the safety of the glider. What we need is a weapon that can load a large amount of gunpowder!"
"A weapon that can destroy Saxony's heavy industrial area."
"We will discuss other matters after returning to Long Yan." Liu Zheng said in a deep voice.
Wang Congyang nodded, it was true. Although using bamboo would reduce the reliability of the overall structure, it was indeed the only choice now.
The bamboo on Halle Mountain is totally sufficient!
"I understand, let's start preparations now." After saying that, Wang Congyang took the design drawings and bowed to leave.
Liu Zheng nodded. Although he lowered his requirements, Liu Zheng understood that making a glider was still not a very simple matter.
After Liu Zheng's improvements, it was impossible for these gliders to transport people.
In Liu Zheng's idea, he would use these gliders to carry large amounts of gunpowder from Mount Halle to hit the Saxon industrial area.
Use this to cause destruction.
Long Yan has mastered the technology of gunpowder being violently impacted and exploded, and the revolver is realized based on this technology.
This is not difficult at all.
The key is whether the glider can stably deliver the gunpowder to the place where it explodes?
This is the most difficult.
Liu Zheng shook his head, getting rid of the idea of continuing to think about it. The plan had already begun, and there was no point in thinking about it now.
Now it depends on when Wang Congyang and his research and development team can produce the glider.
