By the time the airships took off from Lake Ladoga in Petrograd by the Bolsheviks, the secret base on the shore of the lake below had been completely abandoned, and enough explosives had been installed in the "wall" of the base, built using the cement modules of the "fast front". Even in order to reduce weight, the armored vehicles used to rescue scholars in various rebellious cities were abandoned.
Everything in the base has been planted with enough explosives that at least the special forces who left have no intention of leaving more traces here.
The three airships were all well-known scholars from Russia, including royalist officers, who were proficient in physics, chemistry, mechanics, etc., and had long been investigated by the Chung Hwa Association in Western Europe, and they were going to leave here along with their families.
A significant number of people do not intend to live in war-torn China for a long time, but simply use China as a place to rest. The ultimate goal of a significant number of scholars is France or the United States.
In their eyes, only those places where academic research can be carried out with peace of mind, and which are also the places with the most scientific research facilities, cultural bases, and sufficient funds.
But Sikorski didn't think so, because he had been keeping an eye on the straight-lifting rotors in the middle of these huge "H" airships. Even from his research experience, he could see that the rotors were only really powered when they took off, and then they relied on the speed of propulsion to get power from them.
"It's a really clever design, especially those huge rotors that are articulated straight in, and it's a very useful design for a helicopter. I'm afraid that their research on helicopters has been at the forefront of the world! ”
The 23-year-old was always with Ilyushin, a 23-year-old who was also interested in the rotors that were used to boost the lift of the airship, but the chatty mood of the young man made him forget his sorrows.
Especially, when the night is far away, the airship comes to the Mongolian steppe.
At this time, if you look down, you can see a charming scenery of "wind blowing grass and low cattle and sheep". At this time, when the people in distress on the airship began to cheer for the escape from danger, Sikorski, who had watched the rotor for most of the night, fell into a deep sleep.
"Look, how beautiful these scenery are!"
Ilyushin admired, and then he looked out at the young man with him by the porthole.
"Yes, it would be even more beautiful if these wonderful scenery could be seen by people from afar!"
Ilyushin heard the approving exclamations of others, and he turned his head away. It can be seen that the other party is also a young man, and he doesn't look very old.
"Why, sir, do you have a camera with you? If we can, we can take a few pictures of him, or we can sell them to other newspapers, and we can definitely sell them for a good price. ”
The young man looked at him and shook his head. In the flickering eyes, it seems to be imagining something wonderful.
"Why the photo, haven't you ever thought about letting people from afar see the event? It would be a wonderful thing if these scenes could make people from afar see the picture of the beginning and the movement. But I have to draw your attention to the fact that I don't intend to let them watch a movie, and if I could, I'm afraid it would be a new science and technology! ”
"A new science and technology, oh friend, in my eyes it is only the things that fly in the sky that are the most fascinating, don't you agree?"
The young man shrugged and looked like he didn't agree with him, but he didn't intend to argue with him any longer, but reached out to him.
"Hello, Vladimir. Zorikin, it's a pleasure to meet you! ”
"Ah, hello, I'm an aviation mechanic, and if something goes wrong with your car, I'd be happy to help you!"
"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance!"
Since then, even if the two of them have been dealing with each other, they don't know that this interaction will be decades to come. Because, if they also lived in Qingdao, which was later called the capital of oriental science, then it would not be too difficult to become friends.
After another 24 hours, the three airships rendezvoused with airships from other parts of Russia, and their target was the city of Qingdao, where the flames of war had been completely extinguished.
In just a few days, Qingdao City came back to life, and the traces of the war in the city were quickly eliminated, which was planned before coming. At the same time, it also shows that the work of the revival team under the leadership of Gu Weijun is extremely effective.
Originally, many Japanese-run businesses in the city were in the hands of the highest bidders. For example, the "Tsingtao Brewery", which the Japanese had just updated its equipment, was in the hands of businessmen from Batavia who were determined to start a business with the Chinese Renaissance Party.
At the same time, more enterprises began to build on the confiscated land of Japanese agricultural immigrants. As mentioned earlier, the machinery and equipment are both from Batavia and from equipment and personnel that have long been on standby in Truk.
Even, some base construction has begun to be carried out. They were not built by Qingdao locals, they were also businessmen from Batavia. For example, desalination equipment, and wind turbines that will one day be installed all over the coast of China.
And the speed of transportation of these equipment is very fast, if the airship group takes off from Batavia, as long as the weather permits, it will reach Qingdao in 48 hours. If the airship swarm takes off from Truk, it will take less than 30 hours.
If, for a hundred airships, the amount of one air transport is 3500 tons of supplies. And that's not even counting the supplies brought in by the merchant ships that accompanied the fleet on the first landing.
Therefore, supplies are not a problem, but to the delight of the vast majority of Russians on the airship, not far away, a Qingdao scientific research city is being built, including world-class physics and chemistry research facilities.
The ultimate goal of the construction there is to build a science city with the most comfortable and convenient life, the most beautiful environment and the most advanced experimental facilities. Of course, behind these "most" there is also the tightest protection.
So, the construction here is carried out by the skilled craftsmen from the European city of Nancy. Here, they will start their own entrepreneurial process with the technology, money and friends they have acquired in Europe.
In order to double the speed of construction in Qingdao and its vicinity. A number of small airships were illuminated with intense lighting to shine over the hot construction sites, driving the night away from them.
When the airship landed outside Qingdao City, an airfield that was still desperately built by Japanese prisoners of war, Tang Yunyang had been waiting there for a long time.
Beside him at this time was Wang Zhu, who was busy in Science City, where he now had his own aircraft design studio. Now his designers, in addition to Wang Zhu, Ba Yuzao, and Wang Xiaofeng, also have a considerable number of talents in mechanics, electronics, materials and other aspects who have completed their studies in various European universities.
The aeronautical design company was still partnered with the same Solnière's company, but his men were still in France at the time, and they would not arrive here until the construction was completed.
"Chairman Tang, we are here to greet that helicopter designer from Russia!"
In Tang Yunyang's hands at this moment, he already had a list of Russian scholars and royalists who had been taken to China. But he didn't pay much attention to anyone in his heart, just hoping that the scholars would be fascinated by the list of experimental equipment they saw. And the only two people who must stay, one is Sikorsky, and the other is Ilyushin, who is still unknown for the time being.
"Yes, in addition to him, there is also a Russian mechanic, his name is Ilyushin, I will train you to train this mechanic well, I think he may give us unexpected results in the future."
"Really? Are you so sure? ”
Wang Zhu looked at Tang Yunyang with some suspicion, and sometimes he always felt that this party chairman seemed to be too forward-looking for the development of aircraft. Whether it was the "oil tanker aircraft carrier" of the Germans or the "improvised aircraft carrier" used by the British, how would he know that the plane must be able to beat the battleship, and he was so sure.
This kind of thinking, especially among those who are engaged in research and technology, there is a common speculation that it is estimated that their chairman Tang has a fairly good educational experience, otherwise there is absolutely no way to distinguish these things in the fog of war, but it is a pity that he has lost his memory and cannot remember it himself.
Among the people who disembarked from the airship, Sikors and Ilyushin were rescued by the man who knew Russian and brought them to Tang Yunyang and Wang Zhu.
"Sir, this is Sikorsky and Ilyushin mechanics!"
Tang Yunyang stretched out his hand to the two.
"My name is Tang Yunyang, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and this is Mr. Wang Zhu, our Chinese aircraft designer, and the 'Tomcat' heavy air supremacy fighter used by the Germans is from his hand."
In the profession of aircraft designer, the aircraft model, especially the record of the model, is more resounding than the name. The Entente were now fighting to the death with German pilots with their "Tomcat" heavy air supremacy aircraft.
On the Russian side, due to the small number of Tomcat heavy air superiority fighters, there was little hope of survival under the attack of the German "Knight" fighters.
There was almost no air cover, which also made it impossible for Sikorsky's four-engine bombers to attack Germany. Hearing that he was facing the designer of the "Tomcat-type heavy air superiority fighter", Sikorski's hand let go of Tang Yunyang and Wang Zhu shook together.
"Mr. Wang, the Tomcats you designed are remarkable, especially when they fly over the Russians, almost everyone can settle down!" Chapter 15: New Designers
