Chapter 705: Test Flight
Sang Rou was sleepy-eyed, squinted at Yuan Fang and said listlessly: "Brother-in-law, when you wake up, I'll go get you water and wash your face." ”
Yuan Fang felt distressed for a while, and gently patted Sang Rou's back: "You are lying down for a while, I'll go fetch water." As he spoke, he got up and put the blanket on Sang Rou's thin body, looked at the other women who were still sleeping, with a faint smile on their faces, and gently pushed open the door and walked out.
Standing at the door, looking around, he didn't find a single worker, Yuan Fang was at a loss, and he didn't know where to fetch water, these things were all done by Sang Rou and them before.
Finally, a team of guards appeared around the corner not far away, and Yuan Fang waved his hand and shouted, "Hey, come here." ”
Seeing Yuan Fang's eagerness, the guards thought something was wrong, and hurriedly ran over, after learning that Yuan Fang just wanted to find some hot water, the guards had strange expressions, and then, and then they were requisitioned by Yuan Fang to help fetch water together.
In Lin Mengsheng's room, Yuan Fang woke up Sang Rou and the others one by one, pointed to the pot of steaming water on the coffee table and said proudly: "Let's get up and wash your face, breakfast is ready, wash your face and hurry over to eat, otherwise it will be cold for a while." ”
Only then did Sang Rou and the girls find the water basin in front of them and the breakfast on the dining table, they were moved for a while, they were so moved that they almost burst into tears because of their feelings, they were really easy to satisfy, a little bit of love is the touch of a lifetime.
Washing, after eating, Yuan Fang originally planned to let Sang Rou and the others go to their room to rest, but Sang Rou and they didn't agree, they must follow Yuan Fang, after all, this is not at home, there are so many workers and craftsmen, who knows if those people will be unfavorable to Yuan Fang, their duty is to protect Yuan Fang's safety, and they must always be by their side.
Yuan Fang couldn't help it, so he had to take them out together, and when he found out where Lin Mengsheng was, the group went straight to the assembly workshop.
In the assembly workshop, it can be described as a sea of people, Yuan Fang was startled as soon as he entered the door, and he couldn't understand what these people were doing here.
Gradually, a voice came from inside, and after listening to it for a while, I realized that it was Lin Mengsheng, the kid, who was arranging the division of labor among various departments.
didn't bother, let alone steal Lin Mengsheng's limelight, Yuan Fang and his party stood in the corner of the door and listened quietly, although they couldn't see the situation inside, but from Lin Mengsheng's orderly arrangement, it can be seen that this kid has really changed, no longer the second ancestor who has achieved nothing, and has become a qualified leader, uh, the title of foreman may be more appropriate, who knows.
In the next few days, Yuan Fang wandered around the assembly workshop and several other parts workshops, hardly leaving except for eating and sleeping, even if Yang Xing sent someone to find him back to the imperial capital, Yuan Fang also turned a deaf ear and ignored it, and devoted himself to the development of the fog balloon and the airship.
Yuan Fang and Lin Mengsheng were in charge of technical issues, Sang Rou and they gradually got used to the atmosphere here and began to help, others were not good, but they all knew some female workers, and a few people discussed it, and went to learn the sewing of airbags in batches, planning to work together to make a fog balloon that belonged to them.
Yuan Fang didn't have any opinion on this, anyway, the materials here were enough, so they were left to toss.
On the fifth day of Yuan Fang's visit to the base, two brand-new fog balloons were transported to the open space outside the workshop, today, is the day of the test flight of the latest generation of fog balloons, almost all the workers came out to watch, this is not only the masterpiece of Lin Mengsheng and Yuan Fang, but also the common brainchild of everyone.
This fog balloon was named by Yuan Fang as the first woman, is a generation of military fog balloon products, after these days everyone's efforts, basically improved some of the previous shortcomings, not only the volume expanded, the hanging basket was changed to a mixed structure of metal and thousand silk vines, and the thruster also made a lot of adjustments, changed to a twin-propeller mode to increase or suppress the flight speed.
Another very important change is the addition of an exhaust hole in the front and rear of the huge airbag headquarters, left and right directions, with rope traction control switches to assist in adjusting the direction and altitude of the flight, and most importantly, this design can provide enough braking capacity to complete the braking process from hard speed to stop in less time.
In addition to the pilot, they will also carry Sang Rou's cameo throwing female soldiers and flame live ammunition, and at the same time, the defenders on the periphery of the base will also cooperate according to the requirements to test the defense and safe flight altitude of the fog balloon, the error prediction of the battlefield bomb and so on.
As the technical advisor of the fog balloon, Yuan Fang naturally will not fall, and Lin Mengsheng each drove a fog balloon, Sang Rou, Yuyue, Ouyang Xianxue and Xia Yi rode with Yuan Fang, Yu Jingqiu, Ye Qingru, Lin Menghan and Huo Bingyan rode with Lin Mengsheng in a fog balloon, in addition, there were two maintenance craftsmen with tools to deal with some emergencies.
The fog stone has been strictly controlled and secretly mined by the Empire, and after the exploration of senior miners, the reserves of that fog stone mine are very rich and huge, enough for the air force expected by Yuan Fang to be used non-stop for many years. In order to more accurately test the consumption of fog stones, all the fog stones sent are reprocessed into cubes of uniform weight and nail size, which are stored in boxes fixed on hanging baskets.
There are four iron boxes of the same size on the four sides of the hanging basket, no box can hold fifty pieces of fifty, each hundred pieces is called a unit of measurement, this test flight needs to test more items, the flight time is longer, so, Yuan Fang will fill all four boxes, with a full two units of fog stone for test flight.
The weather was cold, but when he didn't know everyone's enthusiasm, Yuan Fang was wearing a thick leather jacket, a dogskin hat, a scarf wrapped around his neck several times, and a dust towel for cavalry on his face, only two eyes leaked out, looking like fat guinea pigs, Lin Mengsheng and Sang Rou were almost dressed like this, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and divided into two teams to board their respective fog balloons in the expectant eyes of the workers.
After the workers checked the facilities and ropes for the last time, everything was ready, Wang Jinbao was worried about checking the iron ring inflators fixed on the top of the metal frame of the hanging basket again to ensure that they were firm, and then waved the order flag, and the two fog balloons began to inflate.
Ten foggy stones were thrown into the goal-shaped power compartment, a certain volume of water was added, and suddenly, a thick fog gushed out of the power compartment and poured into the airbag along the inflatable port.
As the fog became more and more, the slightly heavy cowhide airbag gradually expanded and floated up, and when the airbag was completely erected and pulled the hanging basket to slowly rise into the air, Wang Jinbao looked at the hourglass on the side, and shouted to Yuan Fang and Lin Mengsheng with joy on his face: "One-fifth." ”
