Chapter 1069(1/2)
A "buzz" and "buzz" sound began to appear in the sky, and the sound was not loud at first.
But just a few minutes later, the roar of the sound was enough to make people's brains hurt.
Li Xiao felt that it would be good to use the airplane as a sonic weapon. At least, he could not hear what Master Ao was shouting in his loud voice.
It was his own fault that caused the disaster. If he hadn't come here, it would have taken hundreds of years for airplanes to appear.
Piston engines have various problems due to manufacturing process problems.
Noise is only one of the problems, and now the problem of engine stability has been solved.
At least, an airplane can fly for a hundred hours without changing its engine without refueling, and it will not fall from the sky.
In this day and age, being able to do this is already the ultimate.
If he wanted to go further, Li Xiao couldn't do it. After all, he didn't graduate from the aviation academy.
With just a little bit of knowledge about flying, it is the result of my best efforts to achieve what I am now.
Ming Dynasty's aircraft are divided into two types, one is large bomber.
This bomber has a wingspan of 20.08 meters and a fuselage length of 14.36 meters.
The maximum take-off weight is 14.9 tons, and it requires three pilots to control it.
During World War II, this bomber would have been the famous all-purpose bomber Junkers 88.
In addition to being able to load bombs, the aircraft also carries a single-barreled 25mm cannon.
In addition to bombing, it can also carry out precise strikes against ground targets at an altitude of more than one thousand meters.
The other type has two members.
It has a wingspan of 13.8 meters and a maximum takeoff weight of five tons.
Its main combat weapons are a 12.7mm machine gun and two 500kg bombs.
Of course, it can also be hung with four 250 kilogram bombs.
This kind of thing is considered a tactical bomber. It needs to dive when dropping bombs, so as to greatly increase the accuracy of bomb delivery.
If it were during World War II, this thing would be the famous Stuka. That’s it!
Junkers 87!
As for fighter jets, Li Xiao thinks there is no need. Although Stuka is not a specialized fighter jet, its attack on airships will be devastating.
As long as it is raised and then attacked from the top, with the speed and size of the airship, there is no possibility of escape.
Flying from the sky now is Stuka.
Sure enough, when the Stuka dives, it will make a sharp roar that can shatter the eardrums.
That sound was like the howling of evil spirits in hell.
When the Stuka reached its lowest point in the dive, the co-pilot dropped the bomb.
Driven by the acceleration of gravity, the bomb flew straight towards the target like a cannonball.
Inside the ten-meter-diameter white ash circle, thick smoke suddenly billowed out.
Li Xiao could see clearly that the bomb hit right in the middle of the white gray circle.
This kind of accuracy is already remarkable in today's world. The precision guided bombs of later generations will only reach this level.
No wonder the Stuka is called a tank killer.
“I’m fucked!
This thing is so fast, I feel like it flies faster than a cannonball."
Ao Ye held up the telescope and sighed.
"This thing is too fast. It is difficult for anti-aircraft guns to shoot it down." Man Ye also said while holding up the telescope.
"With the capabilities of Chechen anti-aircraft artillery, it is basically impossible to defeat it. Even our army has to be an excellent shooter to defeat it."
The person who said this was Shi Dewei. As the chief of general staff, he was most familiar with the training of the troops.
"Haha! This time when I go to Chechnya, I have to bring this thing with me." Li Xiao put down the telescope, thinking that he finally had an air force.
To be precise, airships are just a transition of the air force.
When the airship was first developed, it was considered a high-tech weapon.
Although it doesn't fly very fast in the sky, it is still faster than a galloping war horse on the ground.
At the same time, as a strategic transportation tool, airships are still irreplaceable at present!
Currently, there is no such thing as a transport aircraft in the Ming Dynasty.
Air transportation still requires airships with relatively stable technology and mature operations.
The Ming Dynasty has established an airline company specializing in freight and passenger trade.
It has to be said that one of the advantages of airships is that they do not need to build airport runways.
All it takes is a place where the huge body of the airship can land.
Airships land vertically and are much less difficult to land than airplanes.
With the use of airships, it only takes people from the Ming Dynasty to get from the capital to Guangzhou in about eleven or twelve hours.
Although the speed is much faster than that of an airplane, it is also more comfortable and safer.
Li Xiao looked up at the planes in the sky. He felt that flying in these days was no different from being sentenced to prison.
If nothing else, this huge noise can kill people.
These days, piloting may not be a career that everyone aspires to.
The working environment is so bad!
However, if we want to further improve the processing technology, it will take time to perfect it.
These two aircraft are already the world's top technologies.
In order to keep these two types of aircraft secret, Ming Dynasty even emptied the entire Liaodong of foreigners.
Koreans are the most unlucky group of people, even though they have lived in the Ming Dynasty for many years.
But the Ming Dynasty's border guards burned down their houses and destroyed their farmland without mercy.
Using bayonets and whips, they were driven directly across the Yalu River.
Although the process is very violent, the effect is not bad.
Since there are no foreigners in Liaodong, it has become much easier to keep Ming's various high-tech projects confidential.
"Commander, didn't you say that this thing will be used in the war against Israel in the future? How come it was used on the heads of Chechens so early?"
After hearing what Li Xiao said, Shi Dewei felt a little puzzled.
The Ming Dynasty went to great lengths to protect the secret of the aircraft, and even slaughtered many Goryeo people for this purpose.
Isn’t it worth it to expose the Chechens just to fight against them?
"This kind of thing always appears on the battlefield, and this thing flies in the sky.
It is impossible for us to cover the eyes and ears of all Liaodong people. The Hebrews probably already know that we have a machine that can fly."
Li Xiao looked at Shi Dewei helplessly, even though the entire Liaodong was cleared of foreigners.
But Li Xiao didn't expect that the noise of the plane would be so loud.
Even if you can't see it, can't you still hear it?
Do you think the people in Liaodong are all blind and deaf?
Nowadays, aircraft training is frequent, and it is basically impossible to keep it secret.
"I heard that the Navy has also built a ship on which aircraft can take off and land. Now the Navy has begun experiments to train pilots. If this thing flies at sea, more people will see it, and keeping it secret is simply impossible.
Could it be said that you can still seal the sea?"
Stewie nodded helplessly. The naval training base is in Lushun.
That place is a military port, but there are many fishermen nearby. There are also North Korean fishermen at sea. The planes fly so high and the sound is so loud, it is really impossible to keep it secret.
After the Stuka performance, it was time for the Junkers 88 performance.
To match the accuracy of the Stuka, the Junkers 88's bomb delivery accuracy is slightly worse.
There are two types of aircraft, one is for dive bombing and the other is for level bombing, the difference is not the slightest bit.
However, the Junkers 88's oblique artillery impressed Li Xiao deeply.
This thing is like the two whips of the god of death, which can easily plow two furrows in the ground.
People or any creature above this ditch will suffer a devastating blow.
After being hit by a 25mm artillery shell, Li Hao didn't think there was a chance that this man would still be alive.
I held the telescope and watched it on the slope all afternoon.
To be continued...
