"A thousand kilometers..."
Liu Zheng murmured that the aircraft he designed could fly up to 500 kilometers. Of course, this was theoretical data from experiments.
With current technology, the best way to increase flight distance is to increase the fuel tank.
But apart from that, there are no other ways.
Liu Zheng's smile was very confusing in the eyes of the researchers. They couldn't help but ask: "Sir, although you can develop a hang glider, the flying conditions of a hang glider are extremely harsh."
"Such an iron lump is so heavy that it is completely impossible to lift it into the air."
The researchers tapped the wings of the aircraft, making a sound of steel clashing, as if to prove to Liu Zheng how heavy he really was.
"And the wings of this aircraft are too small. They should be larger..."
"But it doesn't matter."
These researchers are not optimistic about the aircraft proposed by Liu Zheng, even though it was Liu Zheng's invention.
Even though Liu Zheng had developed a hang glider and successfully sent people into the sky.
Even though Liu Zheng used the glider he developed to win the war.
But now...
After their research, it was confirmed that the only best way for humans to fly into the sky is to take a hot air balloon.
Although this is extremely risky, it is the only feasible way.
There are already countries in the world that are studying the possibility of using hot air balloons to carry soldiers. If possible, they can also be applied to war.
But no country succeeded.
Hot air balloons can take off, but people have no way to control the direction of the hot air balloon in the air. They can only control the height of the hot air balloon through valves.
As for where you will land, it all depends on the direction of the wind.
As for gliders and hang gliders, their distance and altitude have limited development.
These researchers also believe that the best solution for humans to fly in the sky now is to improve the hot air balloon so that it can control the direction of movement.
These researchers once again persuaded: "Sir, the top priority now is war, not research on this thing."
"Not to mention he's impractical."
Liu Zheng glanced at these researchers and ignored them.
These people who think that the knowledge they possess is already the truth have only spent a lot of time in a circle, and all they have done is just to expand their circle.
I don’t know how to jump out and see the world.
Liu Zheng had no explanation and no need for explanation.
The invention of airplanes has the same important attributes as tanks in war.
By mastering air superiority, you can basically control the changes in the situation on the battlefield, and the enemy's whereabouts will be clearly visible.
Moreover, when faced with mountains and rivers, such natural dangers are no longer a problem, and planes can fly directly there for bombing.
Looking back on what I have learned, there is an extremely powerful country that was once separated by a distance of 20,000 miles.
An army with hundreds of tanks, 7,000 submachine guns, and countless ammunition dropped in!
Such a force, at that time, was enough to sweep across a country!
This is the power of aircraft. Air transport can allow troops to appear anywhere in the world.
If powerful air transport develops, they can attack anywhere in the world.
This is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
After developing tanks, Liu Zheng began research on aircraft.
But after countless experiments, this little aircraft was the result of their research.
There is no way. Now the industrial conditions cannot meet the standards. There is no way to make steel lighter. We can only start from the volume.
But even so, Liu Zheng still has great expectations for this small aircraft.
It's a bit small, but it can be used, and there is no problem at all in carrying out air attacks.
The only thing that needs to be solved now is the flight distance. Five hundred kilometers is too little.
This number has at least doubled!
At this time, Liu Zheng already had a relatively clear approach in his mind.
…
At this time, on the battlefield at sea, Long Yan's battleships were advancing, and the anti-French alliance's troops were about to retreat.
No matter which fleet captain he is, he would not dare to fight head-on with the Longyan battleship.
The ships that dared to fight head-on could only salvage their remaining bodies from the sea.
They were really scared.
Loggins stared closely at the approaching Dragon Flame battleship, blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth. He was injured in the battle just now.
"Long Yan actually has such a weapon, retreat, we can't continue fighting!"
Loggins, who had always been the main fighter, was now convinced.
Just now, Long Yan's fleet launched an attack.
Loggins never thought that Long Yan's battleship had such a wide speed and range.
According to Loggins' previous estimate, the attack range of Long Yan's fleet was about one thousand meters, but now it seems that Long Yan can actually attack battleships 1,500 meters away.
Moreover, the Longyan Army's artillery shells were actually able to penetrate their British Dreadnought-class armor with one shell.
After experiencing the last war with Long Yan in America.
Britain has strengthened their Dreadnought-class battleships.
But now it seems that such strengthening has no effect.
If they don't retreat, a large number of their fleets will stay here.
If there are no ships, Long Yanjun will control the entire ocean.
Once control is lost, no one knows how long this war will last, but Loggins knows very well that they will be at an absolute disadvantage.
When Ling Chen saw Britain's battleships, they retreated and did not dare to continue the attack.
By now, the outcome of this battle must be determined.
Logins glanced at Long Yan's fleet with hatred. As long as their scientists cracked Long Yan's technology, they would make a comeback!
Using Long Yan's technology to defeat Long Yan's army, Loggins felt a little better thinking about it.
But when I saw Long Yan's fleet, they were heading this way.
"Go!" Logins ordered without hesitation.
The remaining anti-French alliance immediately retreated.
…
At this time, inside Saxon's research room.
A British researcher, holding the researched data, suddenly exclaimed: "That's it! That's it!"
"I figured it out!"
"Liangzhou Laboratory is really amazing, Liu Zheng is a great man!"
He said crazily, holding the drawing in his hand and staring at every word on it. This is from the structural research of the engine.
This thing can be said to subvert the steam engine.
The British scientist was breathing heavily. With this invention, his fame would be heard throughout the world.
However, at this moment, an explosion suddenly sounded.
The flames spread instantly.
