Chapter 465: Preparing for the Airplane
Everything Li Weiguo did was purposeful, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and one by one is indispensable. Chinese website
Once the Three Gorges Project is completed, it will benefit hundreds of millions of people, and the electricity costs of residents will drop significantly, and the cost of industrial electricity will drop significantly. This is of great importance to the national economy.
Li Weiguo left Yichang and rushed directly to Tokyo Shanghai. Because in Zhabei District, Li Weiguo invested 50,000 yuan to build the world's largest aluminum factory.
Aluminum, a metal, has become a household name in later generations and has become a very ordinary building material.
But in this era, aluminum products are still luxurious.
Napoleon invited envoys from all countries to feast, and they used golden forks and bowls for the envoys, but he himself used aluminum forks and aluminum bowls. This shows that things are precious because they are rare and the scarcity of aluminum products is scarce.
First, it was difficult to find aluminum ore and refine. Although French chemists achieved electrolytic aluminum in the 1980s, due to the high electricity price (DC), the industrial production cost of electrolytic aluminum was high, and only a few nobles could afford aluminum products.
Of course, in this era, they did not know that pots and pans made of aluminum products are harmful to health.
The high market price of aluminum products allowed Li Weiguo, who had no profits to get up early, to see huge business opportunities. If he could not make a huge sum of money from his mother, he would be sorry for his identity as a time traveler.
Of course, Li Weiguo is not short of money, but he has many women and many children. A huge imperial family, even if Li Weiguo is worth one billion yuan (equivalent to 100 million US dollars in later generations), he will be divided into hundreds of women and children. He will have more wolves and fewer meat. Two generations later, he will be in vain.
So, Li Weiguo still has to make money!
But he cannot compete for profits with the people. This is his promise as the emperor to the people of the world. In the future, the children of the royal family will not compete for profits with the people. This is the key to ensuring the rule of the royal family and cannot be careless.
History has proved that any royal family that competes for profit with the people will eventually perish. The people have envied the emperor and the royal family's life. If the royal family is competing for jobs with the people, it will be nowhere to die.
Li Weiguo doesn't do that stupid thing!
Therefore, Li Weiguo set his sights on the aluminum industry, which was a huge profit. Li Weiguo wanted to make him bigger and stronger and make the whole world collapse.
The Three Gorges Power Station is one of the links, providing cheap electricity to reduce the production cost of electrolytic aluminum.
Next, aluminum ore resources.
Li Weiguo goes to Sydney, Nandu every winter. Of course, he not only goes to eat, drink, play and pick up girls, but also has more important things to do.
For example, he "revealed" the world's largest diamond mine, which was mined by Royal Mining Corporation, making a profit of a lot of money.
At the same time, in Weipa, Queensland, the exploration team sent by Li Weiguo easily found the largest aluminum mine in the world.
How easy it is, the members of the exploration team only need to dig a meter of cover to find aluminum ore resources.
In the aluminum ore in Weipa, it is about 1 to 10 meters thick, with an average of 3.5 meters. The upper part is composed of large iron sanhydrate aluminium stone containing 10% to % kaolinite. The lower part is soft sanhydrate aluminium stone with a diameter of 3 to 5 mm. One feature is that the content of boehmite is as high as 10% to 20%. Bauxite contains a12o352% to 58%, fe2o37%, and %. The ore reserves are more than 100 million tons, making it the largest aluminum ore in the world. The ore bodies are basically exposed to the surface and are also the easiest open-pit aluminum ore to mine.
Li Weiguo set an exhibition target for Royal Mining Company, with the mining scale reaching 200,000 tons within three years, one million tons within five years, and ten million tons in ten years.
The reason why this goal is set is entirely based on the production capacity of the aluminum factory in Tokyo and Shanghai, one by one.
Once an aluminum factory is put into production, the first target is the global aluminum product market. It uses cheap aluminum products to impact aluminum factories in countries around the world and force them to go bankrupt. Then the aluminum factories in the Chinese Empire dominate, monopolize the whole world, and then raise prices to plunder the world's wealth.
The second goal is highly confidential, and Li Weiguo is preparing for the future air force cause of the Chinese Empire.
The Chinese Empire is conducting the development and testing of various secret weapons at the secret military base in the 51st area of the Mongolian desert. The aircraft is progressing rapidly. Now it has achieved a record of a 500-meter-high altitude area, with a smooth flight of 10 hours at a 80-kilometer hour.
Of course, since the power of the motor is still low, you can only rely on increasing the cross-sectional area of the wing to obtain sufficient lift to maintain flight.
However, history has undergone tremendous changes. The butterfly effect brought by the Chinese Empire affected the Wright brothers in the United States. They smuggled from third-country middlemen to obtain more advanced motive equipment from the Chinese Empire and installed it on the aircraft they developed.
At the end of 1893 AD, the Wright brothers tested the plane they developed in San Diego, a biplane propeller aircraft with a flight degree of kilometers per hour and a flight time of 7 minutes.
Therefore, the American media reported on a large scale, claiming that this was a miracle in the United States, and that the Americans achieved the world record of flying into the sky for the first time in human history.
Just as the American people were happy and the entire Western world was celebrating that they finally passed the Chinese Empire in terms of aircraft, the Chinese Empire took off the Chinese Empire's f4 aircraft the next day on the Beijing Racecourse.
Famous media from all over the world were invited to visit. At first, they didn't know what it was, but they suddenly realized it when they saw the F4 aircraft.
"It turns out that the Chinese Empire's aircraft technology is already very advanced!"
"Yes! I didn't expect that they started to develop planes ten years ago. I saw the data of this f4 aircraft. It was so advanced, and it was many times more advanced than the aircraft tested by the Wright brothers in the United States yesterday!"
"It's really awesome for people than people! Why is the Chinese Empire so prescient? Why are we Westerners always lagging behind?"
"I saw that the F4 aircraft can fly a distance of 200 meters, with a maximum of 50 kilometers per hour, and can stay airborne for 10 hours. This is simply amazing. Compared with the F4 aircraft, the Wright brothers' plane in the United States is simply a mess, weak!"
"Hey, you didn't see the faces of the American media people, like a slap!"
"Hey, the Chinese Empire is so shameless. It has been hidden in such an advanced plane. Until the United States tested the plane yesterday, the Chinese Empire immediately released their F4 plane the next day, several times more advanced than the United States. This is a slap in the face. The United States probably vomited blood in anger. It's so embarrassing!"
...
The media staff from various countries were gloating, and the staff of major newspapers in the United States were so angry that their faces turned green.
The Chinese Empire then conducted a public flight performance, which attracted cheers from media from all over the world. Journalists from major American newspapers left the stage halfway, and they really couldn't stand the embarrassing scene of being slapped in the face.
On the third day, the American media collectively silenced and stopped reporting on the Wright brothers' planes. The American government even directly banned the Wright brothers.
Brothers Wright are so bitter!
It is obvious that the plane should be commended and praised by the American government, but it was irritated by the American government.
The American government believes that if it weren't for the Wright brothers' show of their power, they wouldn't have become the laughing stock of the whole world and were slapped in the face by the Chinese Empire.
Therefore, Roosevelt personally ordered the ban on the Wright brothers. All American businessmen who originally planned to invest in the Wright brothers were persuaded to withdraw by the government and dared not have any connection with the Wright brothers anymore.
However, the advent of the plane broke the tranquility of the whole world.
Especially the Chinese Empire began to research aircraft ten years ago, which immediately caused high panic among the Allies.
As we all know, the new things hidden in the Chinese Empire are often killer weapons.
Governments from all over the world are paying attention to the aircraft industry, secretly allocating funds, and conducting related research.
Some countries also wanted to obtain the F4 aircraft from the Chinese Empire, but they were rejected by the Chinese Empire. The Chinese Empire had no intention of publicly selling the F4 aircraft. However, the Chinese Empire allowed the Chinese Empire to develop aircraft by itself and set up an aviation club. Only by obtaining the pilot pilot license issued by the aviation club can it be allowed to take off and test flights.
This is also to ensure the safety of the Chinese people. After all, airplanes are not cars, and they are 360 degrees in the air. They can easily lose their sense of direction and cannot tell whether the ground or the sky, resulting in planes and deaths, and even rushing into the downtown area to cause more people and property losses.
However, this cannot dispel the craze for aircraft research by the Chinese people. Thousands of people from all over the country invested in aircraft research projects, and many large companies intervened. They all realized the huge market potential of aircraft and wanted to get a share of the pie.
Since the Chinese Empire has the most advanced f4 aircraft in the world, this aircraft has actually already had practical value, flight enthusiasts from all over the world have traveled across the ocean to come to the Chinese Empire, wanting to learn the flight technology of the Chinese Empire.
Therefore, the Chinese Empire Flying Club has become an international flight club invisibly and has a strong international reputation. In the future, it will inevitably become the leader of the international aircraft flight industry. This is a later story, so there is no need to explain it in detail.
In short, with the Chinese Empire revealing the F4 aircraft, all major military powers in the world began to develop aircraft.
However, they still don’t know what the purpose of the aircraft is. They want to obtain information from the Chinese Empire, but unfortunately the Chinese Empire is still strictly confidential and exposed the F4 aircraft, just to slap the United States in the face, disgusting America and boost the reputation of the Chinese Empire. Then the F4 aircraft disappeared from the public eye again, and countries could not get any valuable information and could only explore it themselves.
Of course, governments all know that the aircraft developed by the Wright brothers are simple in structure, and the wings and motivations are the key, but they do not have a complete aerodynamic theory after all, and there is still a long way to go to truly develop a practical aircraft.
This is not the case with the Chinese Empire. It has long improved the aerodynamic theory. Li Weiguo even built a wind tunnel for the Air Force to conduct wind simulation tests, which made the Chinese Empire lead the world in aircraft for ten years or even longer.
The f4 aircraft exposed are all models from a few years ago.
Now the Chinese Empire's aircraft model in Zone 51 has reached the sixteenth model, namely the f16, which is more advanced than the f4. The aircraft has installed an air combat-type thunder and lightning heavy machine gun. If it is taken out, it will be enough to kill all directions and become the Chinese Empire's Shen Ce Army with an unparalleled killer weapon.
However, Li Weiguo was not satisfied with the status quo. He knew that the plane was showing too quickly.
In history, aircraft were launched in 19o3, and they officially joined the war from 1914 to 1918, playing a huge role in war. Since then, the aircraft exhibition has been even more rapid and almost changing with each passing day. Biplane fighters and three-wing fighters have quickly evolved into monoplane fighters. By World War II, jet fighters appeared, which is extremely fast.
In particular, the Wright brothers actually successfully developed their aircraft in advance at the end of 1893, which made Li Weiguo more aware that the butterfly effect after historical changes had become a huge storm effect, and the future world became more confusing.
Therefore, Li Weiguo had to prepare for the future, improve the defense strength of the Chinese Empire as much as possible, and deal with possible huge variables in the future.
At present, the aircraft structure is still woody, and even the F16 fighter jets are all woody.
However, Li Weiguo knew that the future aircraft would be the world of light metals, and among light metals, aluminum is especially the main material.
Therefore, Li Weiguo spent a huge amount of money to build the world's largest aluminum factory. His second purpose was to be revealed, which was to prepare for the future aviation industry of the Chinese Empire and lay a solid foundation in advance. Once necessary, quickly arm the aircraft with aluminum materials, improve protection capabilities, and make it easier to survive in air combat.
The Americans were just slapped in the face by the Chinese Empire, and the Allies were sarcastic.
Even the British couldn't help but tease the Americans for a few words.
However, soon, when the Chinese Empire emerged the world's largest open-pit aluminum mine in the Wepa area of Queensland, Australia, with a total reserve of over 100 million tons, the British suddenly couldn't laugh.
Australia was once a colony of the British Empire. Since it was taken away by the Chinese Empire, the British Empire was quite painful. Especially a few years ago, when the Chinese Empire announced that the world's largest diamond mine was discovered in Australia, the British were even more painful.
At this moment, the Chinese Empire once again discovered the world's largest aluminum ore in Australia, with a reserve of at least 3 billion tons, which made the British Empire grit their teeth in hatred.
What made the British Empire even more confused was that the largest aluminum ore was actually an open-pit aluminum ore, which was very easy to mine.
With a reserve of 3 billion tons, the price of aluminum is now more expensive than gold, comparable to the price of diamonds. The Chinese Empire is equivalent to getting another huge source of wealth, which makes the whole world envious and jealous!
Why? Why didn’t the British Empire appear when it ruled Australia?
Why is the Chinese Empire so lucky?
Damn it, is it even more annoying!
British Prime Minister William had just won re-election for the general election. After learning about this, he was so angry that he vomited three times blood.
"As sooner or later, our British Empire will take back Australia, so wait!"
The Times couldn't help it and made a bold statement.
As a result, the next day, the Chinese Empire filed a solemn protest, and the British Empire had to rectify the Times, detained the editor-in-chief of the Times, and published it in the newspaper to publicly apologize to the Chinese Empire.
The British Empire's people were full of criticism about the actions of the British Empire government.
Still can't beat the Chinese Empire!
The British Empire can only continue to practice ninjutsu! (To be continued.)8
