Chapter 712: Shock
Lin Mengsheng visually measured the height: "Almost, turn, set off, target range." β
Wang Jinbao and several deputies led in unison, as the right jet port spewed out two thick fogs, the airship began to turn, and then, the main thruster at the tail opened, with a phantom cloud floating, smoothly flying to the west shooting range, ten fog balloons followed, slowly accelerating, guarding the front and back of the airship, it looked quite easy to fight, and the visual impact was extremely strong.
The ground crew cheered and celebrated, and then rushed to their respective posts to test and record some of the test data of the airship, and those who did not have a task, such as Yang Xing's guards and accompanying craftsmen, went to the best observation point under the guidance of the base guards to witness the first test flight of the airship.
In the air, Yuqing shivered from the cold, but he still couldn't help but look left and right with his head probed, shouting excitedly, doing this, how could she still be like the female general who led thousands of troops and horses to face the enemy's calm and calm face and did not change her color, she was clearly a naΓ―ve little girl. Looking at Yuqing, who was screaming and jumping, a faint smile appeared on Yuan Fang's face, thinking to herself, this should be her nature.
Yang Xing was also excited, although it was too cold, he still kept urging this Sang Rou and Yuyue to speed up, keep up with Yuan Fang and their team, and repeatedly used the identity of the emperor to overwhelm people, ordering Sang Rou and Yuyue to increase their height, making Sang Rou and Yuyue a little crying and laughing, but they didn't dare to disobey, so they had to fly a little higher.
Da Mei has a calm personality, pulling the excited Xiao Mei to enjoy every scenery from an unprecedented overhead perspective, just like facing the boundless sea, after flying into the sky to know what is called vastness and their own insignificance, Da Mei's state of mind has changed at this time, it is a kind of sublimation, from an ordinary little person to the sublimation of mastering a big power, it is a broadening of horizons, and it is a change of mentality.
No one has noticed the change in Damei, she has broken the inherent obstacle of avoidance and stepped into the wider world.
A series of tests were carried out in an orderly manner, and Lin Mengsheng carefully controlled the airship to descend and climb, turn and brake, and all the items were cycled twice before the basic test of the test flight was completed.
Next, there is the most anticipated and exciting display of force, first of all, hovering and positioning bombs, that is, controlling the airship to levitate above the target's head to throw incendiary bombs at high altitude to hit fixed targets, then cruise bombing, then moving targets, and finally, the strongest strike means on display this time, joint saturation bombing.
When the craftsman acting as a soldier and the fog balloon on the airship as an escort dropped hundreds of incendiary bombs at the same time, turning the ground into a sea of fire, the deafening roar shook everyone's nerves.
Yang Xing, who was suspended outside the shooting range and watched all this, looked at the ground that was still burning after the bombing, and only said after a while: "It's really fucking strong, hahaha, with the Air Force, I don't think anyone would dare to come to us to spread wild." β
Xiaomei's eyes were full of little stars, and she looked at Yuan Fang, who was turning around in the sky: "Sister, eldest brother is really amazing, you can think of this way." β
Da Mei smiled gently, she couldn't see through this godly brother, from the never-before-seen medical skills, to the magical and novel bicycles, as well as the advanced concepts of baths and greenhouses, and then to the extremely powerful and versatile flying machines in front of her, all of them were from his handwriting, what kind of person can have such talent.
Yan Xiong shouted: "Damn, if this is thrown in the local camp, how many people will have to be killed, and now the ground army is about to take a back seat, and if it really starts, all the credit will be robbed by the air force, and it will be difficult for the army to be promoted in the future." β
Jieyue has a different view: "Uncle Yan, you can't say that, although there are fewer opportunities for meritorious service, but at the same time, the casualties of the army will be greatly reduced. β
Yan Xiong said embarrassedly, "I'm just saying it casually. β
Yang Xing, who had been silent for a long time, asked at this time: "Sister Da Mei, how much money does the Chamber of Commerce still have?" Lend me some first. β
Da Mei was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Yang Xing meant: "You have decided to form an air force?" β
Yang Xing nodded heavily: "Seeing is believing, of course you have to get such a good thing, not only do you have to get it, but the more the better." β
Da Mei reminded: "This matter still has to be discussed, the cost of airships and fog balloons is not very much, but daily maintenance and repair should also be a lot of expenses, I think we still do what we can, don't be greedy." β
Yang Xing was reminded by Da Mei and suddenly said: "Sister Da Mei is right, I was impulsive." β
Da Mei admires Yang Xing most about this, no matter when he can listen to the advice of others, he never sticks to his face and insists on going his own way.
After thinking about it in her heart, Da Mei said: "The Chamber of Commerce has just launched a few new projects, and the funds have consumed a lot, and there are some later investments, and the funds that can be used now are about thirty or forty thousand taels of silver. β
Yang Xing nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you Sister Damei." β
Da Mei smiled: "What you said, the merchant was originally yours, I just helped you take care of it, what is there to thank." β
Xiaomei pointed to the airship and shouted, "Look, what are those? β
Everyone followed Xiaomei's gaze, only to see black holes exposed on the left and right sides of the airship, and more than 20 air bags with a diameter of more than one meter were dropped on the fog balloon above the side, and there was a small amount of fog in the airbag, which slowly descended. Yang Xing picked up the telescope and looked at the airship, and before he could see what was going on, there was a swish, and there was a continuous sound of breaking the air, and a stream of metal streamers shot out from the airship.
Yan Xiong, as the chief officer of the military factory, is very familiar with these things: "It is a small heavy crossbow, this is the latest generation of products in the military factory, the important parts are forged with fine iron, and the other parts are all changed to hardwood, reducing their own weight, the bowstring has also been improved, the tendon tendon prepared by the spiral weaving method is stronger, and the range of the crossbow arrow is longer, but this crossbow arrow seems to be different, it is not an all-iron crossbow arrow, it seems that there is only a metal arrow, and the arrow body should be wooden." β
Yang Xing looked back at Yan Xiong in amazement: "You can see it so fast?" β
Yan Xiong said smugly: "I've been in contact for a long time, I've seen a lot, it's not me who blows, now I can tell the approximate range and the quality of the parts by just scanning it." β
Yang Xing gave a thumbs up: "You cow." β
Yan Xiong smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." β
Yang Xing rolled his eyes and teased: "What's the matter, Uncle Yan, do you also want to get a title or something?" β
