Wilbur nodded and said, "dear general, I’m sure our plane can fly at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour, and it will be faster in the future!" And this time won’t be long! "
It really is a big killer! It really is a gift!
Wilbur Wright replied, "Yes, Mr. President, this is our present limit. Because the design and development of aircraft is a very comprehensive issue, we must consider its engine power, its heavy problems and its weapon configuration to ensure that the aircraft has combat effectiveness. We can guarantee the theoretical war radius of 120 kilometers, and only consider the war and other issues theoretically. I think it is best to limit our war radius to 10 kilometers."
Zhang Yi frowned, but the radius of the war was still a little small. Soon Zhang Yi laughed that his requirements were too advanced for a century, but it would take two years to build the plane. Even if it reached the current level, it was already very difficult. It was still his Wright brothers, and his support was very huge. He directly transferred 20 students with excellent grades from Fengtian Engineering University to be his assistants. Only now did he have the current achievements as experts in other countries. This matter is very important. He dare not come here in case he spread the technology, but he has no place to buy regret medicine!
Zhang Yi laughed. "Well, that’s right. What is the weapon configuration of the current aircraft, Mr. Wilbur?"
Wilbur Wright replied, "Mr. President, our plane is equipped with two improved Maxim heavy machine guns, and their firing rate remains unchanged. However, in order to maintain the stability in the plane, we have greatly improved the recoil problem of the heavy machine guns, which helps to maintain the tactical service life of the plane. At the same time, we have reserved a certain amount of bombs for the plane according to your requirements. Our customized bombs have been handed over to the arsenal for production. They have successfully developed our 20 coach bombs for training."
Zhang Yi nodded and then asked, "How much ammunition can we carry?"
Wilbur Wright laughed. "In order to ensure that the aircraft can attack us, he has reserved a capacity of 100 kilograms of ammunition. I just said that the maximum voyage is that the full situation can reach the level."
Liu Buchan asked, "Mr. Wilbur, President, I want to know what’s so powerful about this weapon? I still don’t know where their combat effectiveness is reflected? "
Zhang Yi laughed. "Brother Xiang, can you imagine how far the local ship is if you can see the farthest sea?"
Liu Buchan replied, "Now relying on our horizontal cruiser watchtower, we can find local warships at the farthest distance of 10 kilometers!"
Zhang Yi then asked, "What is the longest range of our cruiser cannon?"
Liu Buchan then replied, "The longest range of our cruiser Krupp heavy artillery is five kilometers. Of course, when we are fighting, the range will definitely not reach four kilometers!"
Zhang yi laughed. "It’s not married? If we suddenly find a local fleet ten kilometers away, our warships and planes can fly to enemy warships in an instant, approach them and throw bombs at them. If one bomb doesn’t sink them, two bombs won’t sink them. What about five or six? When the plane flies over them, there will be no room for artillery, and it is difficult for warships to shoot guns that high. Even if they are willing to give up that high, what do you think are the chances that they will hit the plane, even if they hit them, the bullets will penetrate the fuselage of our plane? These are all iron guys! "
Liu Buchan is instantly white, not to mention that the plane is 130 kilometers per hour, but the war horse is tens of kilometers per hour. Our pistols and rifles are also difficult to shoot, and it is a problem to aim in the air!
Those warships are living targets for these planes!
Liu Buchan laughed and patted Zhang Yi’s shoulder and shouted, "Ok! Brother, brother, with these planes, why don’t we destroy the imp fleet in an instant? I’ll see if these foreign ghosts dare to be so arrogant! "
Xu Huaijin and others are also surprised. This is a real treasure. Although cars are also very important, cars are transportation tools and do not have direct lethality. This thing is really deadly! The first time anyone saw a few big iron birds flying in, they could still attack, and they were scared silly at that time!
Liu Buchan’s face was full of excitement and shouted, "When will these weapons be equipped with our warships? I demand that they be installed as soon as possible. By then, I will always leave a warship for myself. I will have fun in person!"
There are some crazy demons in Liu Buchan.
Zhang Yi turned to ask, "Mr. Wilbur, I wonder if there are any hidden dangers in the current plane?" Wilbur? Wright laughed. "Mr. President, I know your mood. You want to put these planes into actual combat as soon as possible. Your country is often faced with the threat of war. These planes are all designed conservatively. If it is our experimental model, the speed of the aircraft is close to 200 kilometers per hour, but their performance is too unstable. We will definitely not put them into mass production. In that case, it will bring huge losses to China!"
Chapter six hundred and twenty Prepare to build an aircraft factory
Zhang Yi went on to say, "How many planes can we build and produce a year if we are producing now?"
Wilbur Wright bowed his head and pondered for a long time before saying, "Mr. President, if you want to start production now, you need to build a large factory first. This is difficult to achieve in a short time, and it will take at least half a year to complete it. Of course, we can also take the opportunity to train a group of skilled workers to assemble and produce it in this half a year, and then we can produce 30 such planes by this time next year!"
Zhang Yi frowned, which is a troublesome thing. At present, they are not allowed to produce for such a long time.
Zhang Yi asked, "Dear Mr. Wilbur, we urgently need aircraft as a weapon to participate in our coming Great Patriotic War. You should know that the western powers may launch a war of aggression against China in the next three months. If we have this weapon, it will definitely become the key to our turnaround. Do you have any other ways to speed up our progress?"
Wilbur shrugged and said, "Mr. President, this is unlikely. After all, our factory cannot be established overnight. When we need it, we need factories, equipment, debugging equipment and a large number of parts. We need a large number of ordnance enterprises or heavy industry enterprises to participate in it. These things are too complicated. Once it is put into mass production, your technology is too backward. To be honest, if it is the United States, it is possible to complete such things in two or three months. China? How far is it now? "
Zhang Yi smiled proudly and said, "Mr. Orwell, I understand that the United States is indeed more advanced than China’s powerful technology, but don’t underestimate us. Now your country, China, has helped us to build a huge heavy industry, especially the military industry. We have our own machine factory, our own machinery factory and our own automobile factory, which are the most important engine factories in aircraft production. Since your country can put into production in two or three months, there will be no problem in China. Zhang Yi must build the aircraft factory in two and a half months!"
Wilbur hesitated. "Mr. President, are you sure that China has such strength? Science is not a child’s play. Can’t there be any mistakes? "
Zhang Yi replied, "Mr. Orville, wait and see, but now we have people in our hands, but they are all amateurs in aircraft manufacturing. I need you to personally guide their factory construction, and I also need you to give us the list of materials we need to purchase to build our factory."
Wilbur replied, "Mr. President, this is not a problem. Now you have allocated 20 students to me, and they have been able to beat these jobs. What’s more, some people in this guard camp you sent to defend us have been selected by us as test pilots because of their frequent contact with airplanes, and they have become outstanding talents in this industry. They can know the factory builders! Moreover, when the time comes, I will temporarily hand over our development workers to my brother Orville, and I will temporarily pull out to coach and train those workers! "
Xu Huaijin said aside, "Instructor, since we are too tight at present, I think we might as well choose a place to clear a factory nearby and carry out large-scale transformation, so that we can quickly put it into operation and train technicians at the same time. Although it is difficult, we can transfer a group of key workers to heavy industry institutions such as heavy machinery factories and arsenals in advance. They have excellent mechanical manufacturing foundation and need to be given a preliminary training. I believe they can put them into production and recruit later workers slowly. We will talk about priorities after this period."
Zhang Yi nodded and smiled. "Huai Jin, what you said makes sense. What do you think is more appropriate for us to choose the address of the aircraft factory? Let me wake you up first. In the future, our aircraft factory will occupy a very huge area. His factory area may be even larger than that of the automobile factory, and this is our key project. We must carry out production in a relatively secret environment to guard against spies from all countries! "
Xu Huaijin frowned and said, "Instructor, I suggest choosing a military camp! Directly transform the military camp into a plane factory Xinmin! There are just two regiments stationed there to transfer all the troops received by the military camp of one regiment to Shengjing and arrange another regiment to take over the defense workers of the aircraft factory! "
Zhang Yi shook his head and replied, "No, if it is ten years later, your idea is very good, but not now. Xinmin now makes our economic development zone where there are many enterprises from all over the world stationed, and the intelligence security can be guaranteed!"
Wu Peifu replied, "Instructor, shall we arrange Jinzhou? It is close to the sea and can fly directly when it is installed, and it is not too far from our coal and steel complex. It is also very convenient to purchase raw materials and produce parts, and there are also two regiments stationed there. We can still adjust one regiment and then the other regiment takes over the defense! "
Zhang yi nodded and said, "well, then do it!" We will choose Jinzhou Huai Jin to make it as soon as you go back. "
Xu Huaijin hurriedly agreed.
Zhang Yi went on to say, "It seems that I have to extort a sum of money from that guy Qiao Yingxia again. Alas, this aircraft factory has invested more."
Xu Huaijin quickly asked, "Mr. Wilbur, the instructor, how much does this aircraft factory need to invest?"
Zhang Yi smiled and looked at Wilbur.
Wilbur mused, "It doesn’t need much money to build a small-scale factory. One million dollars is enough. If it is to build a large-scale factory, it may not be. I think we need three or four million dollars!"
They were suddenly taken aback for such a big investment!
Zhang Yi took a deep breath, but it is a little difficult to raise four million dollars. Even Qiao Yingxia Shengjing Bank may not be able to raise so much money in a short time. After all, the scale of Shengjing Bank’s lending has been too large recently. Just because the Fengtian government Shengjing Bank took away the funds, it should have surpassed more than twenty million and two thousand silver. Jiafeng Tianmin’s lending is close to the limit of Shengjing Bank. "Two million dollars!"
Chapter six hundred and twenty-one Big
Two million dollars!
This president is so generous!
Wilbur gasped, even if people in the United States have such handwriting, they don’t think much about their brothers. It is difficult for the United States to find a supporter, not to mention the government. Even those companies have no one to support themselves. Those tycoons have invested all their money in oil and cars, and no one cares about themselves.
Over the past year or so, Zhang Yi has invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in them, and now he will invest two million dollars at a time. This is waiting for them to believe!
Wilbur swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty
Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Mr. Wilbur, there are some difficulties in the cash flow of our bank. If not, I will give you two million dollars at a time. Now you can wait. Don’t worry, I will invest four million dollars this year, and I will continue to invest three million dollars in the next two years, or we will not do it, and we will make our plane the most advanced and largest in the world!"
Wilbur trembled. "Mr. President, are you telling the truth?"
Zhang Yi laughed. "It’s absolutely true. Of course, I will hire you and Mr. Orville as the chief engineer and deputy chief engineer of our aviation group! Specially responsible for the development and production of our national aircraft! "
