Ye Xing called Bose to speed up the construction of the desert airstrip and prepare for an ultra-long-distance flight test.
It's just that an ultra-long-distance flight of 80,000 miles without stopping is still impossible. The fuel supply alone is a big problem.
Qi Ming said, "Build an airstrip at a suitable place in the nine northwest counties, and also serve as a base for supplementary rest. This can cover a distance of more than 10,000 miles, and then find several countries to build runways as well, so that you can rest midway." "
Qi Ming's brain is indeed very useful, and his suggestions are practical!
Ye Xing patted Qi Ming's shoulder and said excitedly, "This method is very good, but other countries cannot build airports for the time being."
Qi Ming said, "To build a runway based on the Tianxing Army's station, it doesn't have to be too long. It only needs a five-mile runway. Anyway, it has to be managed by someone. Besides, aircraft are mainly used for military purposes!"
Ye Xing nodded and said, "Well, in the future, we will deploy airplanes to all parts of the country at any time, making them civilian-friendly, and making flying by plane as convenient as taking a car."
Ye Xing immediately called Li Yishan with his idea and asked the staff to order an airstrip to be built at each of the thirty-five bases of the Tianxing Army. It must be of high standard.
Nowadays, a large number of quad-rotor aircraft are deployed at every Tianxing Army station, but the runways are different. They are used for take-off and landing of jet high-speed aircraft.
Regarding the construction of military airstrips, Ye Xing is not worried at all. Tianxing Kingdom has extremely strong financial resources, and the simultaneous construction of dozens of airstrips is not a problem.
The senior staff of the staff knew the huge military role of this aircraft. They immediately distributed the construction plan and engineering requirements to various stations, and started design and construction immediately. It should be completed within a year or two.
Ye Xing has another idea. Jets can reach Rouran by flying continuously for dozens of hours;
It's just that the engine can't stand such long-term operation. If it can take off and land at any time in a simple place, this problem can be solved.
In fact, there is a way, which is to add three downward-facing small and medium-caliber jet engines to lift the dozens of tons of aircraft into the air and then fly forward. However, in this case, the amount of fuel will be completely insufficient.
Moreover, the three newly added jet engines also occupy a large amount of space in the fuselage, making the interior extremely complex, and the loading capacity is significantly reduced.
What could originally seat 20 people can only have space for 10 people. The travel distance is also greatly shortened, and the cost-efficiency ratio is greatly reduced.
Ye Li said, "We can just use the storage bracelet to store the fuel. Let's produce and modify a few planes. These planes can quickly travel between the East and the West for our own convenience."
Qi Ming also said, "Let's just trial-produce a few of them first. This kind of vertical take-off and landing jet aircraft has excellent military applications. Building a runway is still too troublesome."
Ye Xing thought for a while and said, "This aircraft should be very good on a big ship. Let's trial-produce a few of them immediately. It is also a good plan for the navy."
Fortunately, quantum intelligence quoted Earth's technology, and the design plans were mature. It didn't take too much time, and Ye Xing came up with the design drawings.
After that, Ye Xing and Qi Ming accompanied the engineering and technical personnel for a whole month, mainly adjusting the internal layout of the aircraft, and the medium-caliber jet engine also had to be re-tested and verified.
Ye Li took her son to various places in Songcheng every day to learn about the various national and social management regulations of Tianxing Kingdom;
She took all the public legal system texts of Tianxing Kingdom, studied them carefully, and translated them into Rouran script with the help of computers.
Since Ye Xing couldn't leave for a while, Ye Li could use the long-wave phone to understand various situations in Rouran remotely in real time, so she wasn't too worried.
After staying in the suburbs of Songcheng for half a year, a brand new jet aircraft that could take off and land vertically was produced. Ye Xing and Qi Ming immediately led more than a dozen technicians in person to conduct rigorous testing.
After twenty days of continuous test flights, the Xuan Yue Sect has made dozens of trips back and forth to the grassland.
After a long trip to Donghai County, Ye Xing felt relieved that he could play with the plane like a toy.
Qi Ming also tried several times, but it was far less flexible and relaxed than Ye Xing's driving.
At the base, the Air Force has also received two ultra-high-speed aircraft that take off and land on the runway. More than a dozen Xuanyue Sect disciples are learning how to fly them. In fact, they don't even have flight manuals.
Ye Xing retrieved the jet's flight manual from his memory, started rewriting it based on his twenty-day test drive, and then handed it over to others to improve.
Seeing that there wouldn't be any big progress for a while, Ye Xing decided to conduct an ultra-long-distance high-speed flight test.
Qi Ming, Ye Li, Ye Ran and five technicians got on the plane. Ye Xing drove it himself, took off vertically, slowly rose to an altitude of tens of feet, and then moved forward, flying to the far west at high speed.
At extremely high altitudes, there is almost no air resistance and the flight speed is supersonic.
Ten hours later, the plane flew 30,000 miles at an extremely high altitude and saw that it was running low on fuel.
Over a relatively flat grassland in the Great Yuan Empire, Ye Xing turned off the forward engine and started the lift engine at the same time, allowing the aircraft to glide freely and slowly descend.
A moment later, the plane stopped on the deserted grassland. Everyone got off the plane. Qi Ming and Ye Li went to arrange food;
Ye Xing led five people, took out various testing tools and equipment, and began to conduct a comprehensive physical examination of the aircraft.
An hour later, after the test was completed and all the equipment was normal, everyone felt at ease.
A dozen large barrels of aviation kerosene were taken out from the space bracelet and the plane was filled with fuel.
Everyone then moved out the tables and chairs and started having a picnic next to the plane. The long high-speed flight was extremely tiring;
Especially when I was wearing a soundproof mask to protect my ears, the constant low sound coming into my ears was extremely uncomfortable.
Of course, what annoys everyone is that there is no entertainment on the plane. It is really boring for a long time.
Of course, what everyone was talking about was the experience of this ultra-long-distance continuous flight. Qi Ming was responsible for recording everyone's speeches, which will be the basis for future improvements.
After resting for two hours, the plane took off again, flying at high speed in the direction of the setting sun at an altitude beyond the reach of the eye.
They stopped again at the edge of the wasteland near Dayuan and Tiele. It was already the morning of the next day. This time, everyone rested for five hours before setting off again.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the plane flew near the Magical Instrument Sect. Ye Xing turned off the forward engine and turned on the lift engine. The plane slowly slid towards the Magical Instrument Sect's square.
Because he had contacted Shenshi early and opened the air defense ban in the sky, the plane easily entered the Magical Weapon Sect and then stopped safely in the Sect Square.
Shen Shi, Jin Qilang, Zi Ying and others who had been waiting on the side suddenly rushed up. They were all very curious about how such a huge aircraft could be so light and flexible.
After Ye Xing met with a few people, he didn't talk much. He took the technicians with him and began to inspect the aircraft again and record various parameters of the aircraft.
Everyone knew how Ye Xing did things, but it didn't matter. They just focused their attention on the young man following Ye Li.
Ye Li introduced Qi Ming to everyone, "Qi Ming is the eldest disciple of Ye Xing and the leader of the Xuan Yue Sect of the Tianxing Kingdom. He came to Rouran this time to seek a breakthrough in his cultivation."
Everyone was shocked and greeted Qi Ming politely. They learned that Qi Ming was Ye Xing's only cultivation disciple and Ye Xing's most capable assistant. Of course, they did not dare to neglect him.
Ye Li also introduced him solemnly. She knew that Qi Ming was her husband's disciple for decades, and he was a brother, so he must be respected very much.
Moreover, Ye Xing asked Qi Ming to come here precisely to use Qi Ming's intelligence and experience to make Ye Li's various tasks more efficient.
In fact, for decades, Qi Ming has been the boss of Xuan Yue Sect, but he can keep all affairs of Xuan Yue Sect in an orderly manner, which is absolutely impossible for others.
After listening to Ye Li's introduction, the judges immediately became excited. With the assistance of Qi Ming, who was like a great military advisor, they would be able to completely get rid of their daily affairs and concentrate on breaking through the foundation building perfection.
It turns out that several people in Shenshi have been in retreat frequently for short periods of time, and their cultivation has increased, but they are still far from the Great Perfection.
When Ye Li was away from the sect, several people took turns to look after the sect. On the contrary, Bose, who was far away at the second base in Lanbo County, gave full power to his wife Alina to manage it. He almost devoted himself to cultivation, and there were many A daughter was born.
Jin Qilang was extremely envious and 100% jealous, but his wife Ziying was determined not to have another child.
Besides, he was taking care of his youngest daughter all by himself, which made him complain even more. It was too difficult for the old and rough-looking Jin Qilang.
When Sect Master Ye Li returned, she immediately took several children with her, and then asked Shen Shi, Jin Qilang, and Zi Ying to go into seclusion.
Qi Ming was authorized by Ye Li to visit any place in the Magical Instrument Sect and check out existing problems from the perspective of a bystander.
His mission is to increase his cultivation. He has been stuck at the sixth level of foundation building for a long time. If he has any problems with his cultivation, he can go to Ye Xing at any time.
