The exploration team near the grassland swamp plate has not yet evacuated. With the assistance of the 12th Regiment's air support strike, they found an opportunity to go to the island and set up a temporary camp for further research.
The swamp dragon has a bad temper and knows two magics, but it has no habit of collective action, so there is no need to be afraid if it stands firm.
As the Pangxun Plate and the Dark Land Plate took off one after another, the research value of the Prairie Swamp Plate is increasing.
The institute also sent a small team there to try to figure out why this sector flew earlier and higher.
After a series of flight visual searches and ground sampling analysis, no abnormalities were found. If the natural magic content of each substance is similar, and the anti-gravity field brought about by the magic burst is sufficiently uniform, then the only possibility left is that some kind of mineral is widely present here to provide additional buoyancy support.
The concept of anti-gravity field here is a concept proposed by the institute in the study of Xincheng and Hongshi sections.
The excavation process of this concept is relatively complicated. It mainly eliminates the source of buoyancy through sampling analysis and on-site investigation. The conclusion is that "there must be an anti-gravity magic array, or something similar, in the core of the earth, and it mainly acts on the magic itself."
The elevator-like lifting ability of the magic aircraft comes from the anti-gravity magic array. Its threshold is not high, and after the grassland swamp plate officially took off, it can be observed that in a few months, the energy consumption of the magic array module on the aircraft On the contrary, it has decreased, which means that the effect of the anti-gravity magic array has become stronger.
But the effects of the two are actually different. The anti-gravity magic array used by the magic glider mainly acts on itself. The aircraft only achieves overall climb through structural conduction force, while the earth's core magic array acts on foreign objects, or in other words It changes the rules of gravity to a certain extent.
While research on floating islands continues, the development of floating islands is also gradually accelerating.
Two months after the Dark Land tile took off, the Wind Valley tile took off.
After half a month's delay, the plate height has stabilized and transportation across the country can finally gradually resume.
The period between the Black Land and the Wind Valley plate taking off can be said to be extremely uncomfortable.
By this time, the giant cableway platform had been built, but because the height difference between the plates was more than one thousand meters and the width was less than 200 meters, the angle was so great that the cableway cars could not go up and down at all, and the containers could only stare at it, so small cargo containers were temporarily used. , plus an auxiliary ropeway for elevator-like transportation.
The section from Fenggu to Pangxun is even more outrageous, because that side is the squeezed side, and even the platform cannot be repaired before breaking away. After Pangxun took off early, he could only use a magic plane to transport a small amount of cargo. Or use a wooden man to transport light items such as wood products up there, and then load oil back up.
Half a month after the Fenggu plate took off, there is still a gap of several hundred meters between the three plates, but it is enough to alleviate some transportation problems.
After the drop is reduced, the distance and angle from the new city to the Hongshi Cableway platform are reduced, and the standard container clamp can be loaded. The height difference on the other side is reduced. The plane can also save some effort when traveling up, improve transportation efficiency, and give up enough space. The space is used to build the cableway platform.
It's just that the junction between Fenggu and Pangxun plates is in the wilderness, stuck at one-third of the way from Black Mountain to Hongye Lake. It's still a certain distance from our own North Pangxun, and there are management problems.
Considering that Pang Xun's administrative transformation has not yet started, and there are many new bandits in this section, we will not consider the ropeway platform for the time being, and use the plane to support it first.
When things have developed to this stage, aircraft must also be distinguished between military and civilian aircraft for easier management.
The airline industry is closely related and cannot be completely handed over to the private sector. It is recommended that the railway bureau be operated by a government-owned company that issues licenses and leases to the private sector.
Parts of the aircraft.
Except for the parts delivered to the exploration team, the eliminated Tornado IIs were not dismantled and were directly transferred to the aviation bureau for low-cost leasing.
The load capacity of the Tornado II is also one ton. In this era when the magic level is increasing and the power consumption of the anti-gravity magic array is decreasing, it is actually no worse than a wooden man carrying several tons. It is just that the pilot loss per ton is relatively large, and the early model is In order to cooperate with aviation management, it is also necessary to install indicator lights and the like.
The Tornado Type 3 still maintains purely military use, and the military airport has been pushed outwards and thrown into the no-man's land east of New Pettus, which is closer to the central meridian (longitude) of the dark land.
A total of eighty wooden low-wing monoplanes (gliding type) currently in service have been converted to civilian use. The high-wing propeller type is still used by the military.
The speed of the propeller type is more than three times that of the glider. The disadvantage is that the loading ratio is low. It is more suitable for air combat and bombing. If used for transportation, deducting the round-trip fuel cost, it is basically a loss-making business.
The wooden man is limited by the strength of the wooden main structure, and the cargo capacity of the gliding model is actually not high. If there is no emergency, the general transportation does not exceed three tons, and eighty racks are still not enough.
It plans to expand to 300 aircraft within the next year.
The fuselage and wings of the wooden man are grown from trees, and there are many manual processing parts. However, compared with the normal hurricane type, the workload is still reduced by more than 60%. This is also a first-hand product prepared for private aircraft manufacturers. Of course, if no one takes over, it will still have to be done by Blue Sky Heavy Industries, but that will slow down the production of other models.
Finally, there is the bull type.
The development of the bull type is relatively bumpy.
When Wang Qi visited the central airport, Blue Sky Airline engineers were talking about completely remodeling it.
To put it into words, this thing has indeed been changed to the appearance of a high-wing transport aircraft. Both the magic power type and the propeller/magic hybrid type use high single wings to facilitate production, and do not replicate the wooden man's way of separating the airfoils.
The height of the bolded Manniu model has also climbed from 4.5 meters to 7 meters. The original fuselage length of 20 meters and wingspan of 28 meters have also been increased. The length has increased to 21 meters. The wingspans of the two models are respectively. It is 29.8 meters and 28.2 meters.
Type A (magic-powered type) is also involved in civilianization.
Manniu has a strong load capacity. The total weight of the standard passenger and cargo layout is slightly heavier than the thin stick prototype with a propeller engine, at 11.5 tons. The maximum load limit for takeoff is increased to 27 tons. It can be removed without the need for fuel. With over twenty guests and luggage, it can hold at least ten tons of cargo, making it an absolutely practical model.
It's just that the Manniu type has been revised due to revision, and the Type A has just passed the verification not long ago, including the prototype, there are only three in total.
And because Wang Qi was worried about the prototype's memory from his past life, the prototype could not be put into normal use and could only continue to be used for modification and test flights, so only one official model could be used.
This thing is very troublesome to produce. If someone takes over the manufacturing of the wooden airfoil, Blue Sky Heavy Industry can barely guarantee the delivery of thirty aircraft per year.
Of course, thirty is not the limit of Blue Sky Heavy Industries. The main reason is that they have to bear the production of Tornado III and Manniu B, especially the latter, which is more complex and also has derivative models such as aerial gunships and bombers. Production requires a large amount of technical manpower from Blue Sky Heavy Industries.
Wang Qi made arrangements, and suddenly thought that the technology decentralization license issued by Wooden Man for single airfoils had been issued for a long time. He asked people to go to various cities to check the latest company registration information, and found that someone was indeed planning to build an aircraft manufacturing plant, and it was an aircraft factory. A lot of people, that's good, they got the production license for the wooden man.
