Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 270: : Airship

The National Policy Discussion Conference is in full swing and is still being discussed intensely.

As for Laoshan, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences has made the latest breakthrough.

In the sound of "Boom" all over the sky, in the year 10002 of the new calendar, the first aerospace airship in the history of more than 10,000 years ascended to the sky...

Dafengtai, Skydiving Mountain.

The sky is completely cleared, and paragliders are not allowed to take off today.

People from all over Qingdao County came to watch and witness this historic moment.

An oval-shaped airship with a volume of more than 100 cubic meters made of oilcloth began the final engine test.

People from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences took professional tools and tested the final data.

"Report."

"Speak."

"The total weight of the airship is 1,600 kilograms. After being filled with hydrogen, the estimated load capacity is 1,800 kilograms."

Fang Hanxian exclaimed: "So powerful? Can you pull more than a ton?"

"No, it's not. It's the estimated payload, including the airship's own weight."

"Ah? Then... wouldn't that be able to lift two hundred kilograms to the sky? Four hundred kilograms? Two people?"

Fang Hanxian sighed, then there is a bird for this.

Villagers in Dafengtai volunteered to work as laborers, using steam trucks to transport tanks of hydrogen prepared in advance.

With a command to 'inflate'

Everyone began to fill the deflated airship with hydrogen in an orderly manner.

'Srustling'

As the hydrogen gas continued to pour into the airship, the hull of the airship began to expand.

When the airship began to shake, the people from the aviation academy shouted hysterically: "Win up the chain. Hurry up, wind up the chain."

"What? On what chain."

"If you don't catch it with the chain, it will fly away. You can't even pick it up."

Everyone wakes up like a dream, yes, the airship is filled with hydrogen, and it will lift off by itself. If it is going to float into the sky as soon as it leaves the ground, who can hold it?

Although everyone has designed the safe operation of the airship, the problem is... Some people are afraid to try to pilot the airship.

It's not because I'm afraid of heights.

The main thing is that the hydrogen inside the airship is flammable and explosive. And there is an internal combustion engine working inside, and the high temperature generated is very likely to detonate the airship.

As for the people of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, they have no confidence in the safety of the airship built in such a hurry. Those who have personally participated in the production must not be at ease...

Someone quickly tied the airship with an iron chain, and then the other end of the iron chain was tied to the steel frame of a large steam car.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up.

But the airship shook twice and suddenly floated up.

"Hey hey!"

A villager on the airship who was holding a hydrogen tank to inflate the airship exclaimed, hugging the guardrail of the airship tightly with both hands. Looking at the ground farther and farther away, I screamed: "Help me, save me."

With a sound of 'collapse', the iron chain suddenly tightened.

The steam car wobbled a bit, but it pulled the airship.

The people below all breathed a sigh of relief, this airship is too dangerous...

The villagers above were also paralyzed from fright, and were almost thrown into the sky like a kite.

"I want to come down. Help me tighten the chain, and I will slip down with the chain in my arms."

He didn't dare to delay for a moment, and he was about to come down.

The villagers shouted: "What are you afraid of?"

"If you come down, it will be difficult to send someone up."

"You just stay up there, it can't fly because of the iron chain."

"What if? What if?"

"There is no chance. The power of the airship is not enough to break the chain."

“…”

Fang Hanxian also shouted: "There is not enough hydrogen in it, we will pass you the tank, you can fill it up and then come down."

"Alright then."

“…”

Then, the villagers began to inflate the secondary airbags again.

The entire airship has two airbags, one is the main airbag and the other is the auxiliary airbag.

The main airbag is in charge of generating some lift, and the auxiliary airbag is completely responsible for the conditions for the airship to rise.

By releasing the hydrogen in the auxiliary airbag, the airship can be lowered or suspended at a certain height.

There is nothing too complicated about it.

Part of it is learned from hot air balloons, which is to load the airship with ballast. The weight of these things can increase the weight. If you drop the ballast, the airship will lose weight and continue to rise.

These ballasts will be phosphorus bombs, or bombs.

The people of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences understand that they understand it. It is not a big deal to know this principle, but the main problem is actually that one-hydrogen is flammable.

Too flammable.

When the airbag material inside the airship was determined, a little hydrogen gas leaked, causing a fire. The airbag exploded immediately, and as long as one person was burned off by the fire, there were no major casualties.

But that explosion was too powerful, leaving a psychological shadow on people. No one from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences dared to try.

This thing is not a paraglider, a hot air balloon or something like that. I'm not afraid of falling, it's a big deal to skydive. The problem is... there's a direct chance this thing will explode in mid-air.

Moreover, Li Chen once said that there is an atmospheric pressure at a certain altitude. After entering that altitude, the airship will directly explode by itself, and the internal pressure collides with the external pressure or something, and it immediately disintegrates.

But what is that height, where is that height, and what is the specific situation. No one knows...

When the main and auxiliary airbags were inflated, Fang Hanxian muttered: "It shouldn't be. Did you make a mistake in your calculations? I feel that this airship seems to have a larger load than you estimated."

Have students immediately to recalculate.

They used a tension scale to loosen the tight iron chain, and then hung the two ends of the tension scale on the two ends of the iron chain. The iron chain was straightened again, and an intuitive data came out.

"Report, the current pulling force of the airship, that is, the lift force is 260 kilograms. There is still a person on the airship, and his weight should be around 75 kilograms according to visual estimation. Therefore, all the weight of the airship except its own weight The load should be 335 kilograms."

Fang Hanxian took a breath of cold air: "More than six hundred catties~IndoMTL.com~ This can go up to two people. And several hundred catties of phosphorus bombs, bombs. Weapons of war, this is definitely a weapon of war!"

After hesitating for a while, Fang Hanxian said: "Who is that. Come down."

"Okay."

The villagers came down.

Fang Hanxian asked: "Does anyone want to be the first pilot in history?"

Everyone took a step back.

Fang Hanxian chuckled: "I'll do it."

When people from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences saw Fang Hanxian taking the lead, they were not afraid:

"I'll come, Dean."

"President Fang, you are from the Institute of Electromagnetics. This should be done by someone from our Aviation Institute."

"Let me do it."

"I'm coming."

“…”

The people in the aviation academy feel that they have no face, even if it is for the sake of face, they have to take risks.

Finally, it was decided that a staff member of the aviation academy named Zhang Zixiao would conduct the first test flight.

After Zhang Zixiao boarded the airship, he first entered the cockpit and walked around to check whether the instruments were normal. Then he shouted: "Pull the iron chain down, lower the height, and then you deliver the ammunition up to me. If I am alone, I need ballast. Otherwise it is not safe."

"Zi Xiao, don't use bombs for the test flight. It's not safe."

"Get some rocks for you."

“…”

"That's not okay, since I should test the flight, I'll do it once and for all. Hurry up."

"The main reason is...it's not easy to get you a bomb right now."

Zhang Zixiao rolled his eyes: "Get me a sandbag weighing 300 kilograms."

"Good!"

When everyone brought the sandbags, Zhang Zixiao moved them all into the cockpit.

But at this time, everyone found that the iron chain was not so tight anymore. The airship is even somewhat suspended, and seems to have a tendency to descend.
