Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 373: : The latest transportation

Hearing the news, Li Zhen also saw the shadow of the Grasshopper roaring in the distant sky from the balcony, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, he turned and said to Qi Lengzi who was staring at the sky obsessively:

"Jinghong has an explanation for himself."

Lengzi Qi nodded foolishly: "It's so chic."

Li Zhen patted him on the shoulder: "Don't yearn for it. Before long, the Grasshopper will be industrialized and mass-produced."

Lengzi Qi sighed silently: "It has nothing to do with me. I don't know how to fly a plane. Even if I could, I wouldn't dare."

Li Zhen laughed loudly: "Who told you to drive it? Without a flight license approved by the armed forces, even if you know how to drive it, no one would dare to let you drive it. Do you think anyone can drive it? Be responsible for your own life, for the plane, and for the safety of the ground. It doesn’t matter if you die, what if the plane crashes and hits someone?”

Lengzi Qi shrugged in dismay: "The airship is really boring. It's smooth and slow. It's not as exciting as the Grasshopper."

Li Zhen said: "After mass production, this kind of small grasshopper will not be of much value. The new Kyushu government will definitely issue a document to develop a large grasshopper. According to the current engine level, not to mention being used as a shuttle bus That kind of airliner. At least it must be able to hold about five or six people, right? There will be a chance to sit on it then."

Lengzi Qi widened his eyes excitedly: "You said, will you build a big plane?"

"This is inevitable. In terms of military applications, the potential of the Grasshopper is unlimited. If it is not squeezed out, it will be a waste of research and development? At that time, the Grasshopper dedicated to air combat will be developed, and a small airliner dedicated to attracting important VIPs will also be developed. .”

Li Zhen sighed: "It's a pity, the engine power is still not enough. We can't develop a large passenger plane that can carry one or two hundred people at a time."

"One or two hundred people!"

Lengzi Qi exclaimed: "How is this possible."

"Nothing is impossible. Solved the engine problem, these are incidentals."

"How big is the engine? Can the propeller handle it?"

Li Zhen said with some fascination: "Naturally it can't be such a propeller engine. It's a turbojet engine, and only a turbojet engine can do it."

"What is a turbojet engine?"

Li Zhen was silent for a while, and patted him on the head: "Don't ask. Hurry up and pack up your things and go to the airport. Liping has been here for a long time."

"Got it."

“…”

After arriving at the airport, he had a meeting with Liu Jinghong. Li Zhen didn't stay long and boarded the airship immediately.

Jia Liping, Yuan Bing, Qi Lengzi, and Ding Zhenzhen were also on the airship. But three airships took off.

Because there are more than a dozen members of the Institute of Biology, these are members of Yuan Bing's small hybrid rice research and development team.

Invited by Prime Minister Xun Shifei, Yuan Bing and Xun Shifei were invited to visit the grassroots and inspect Xizhou, the least developed economy. The development of hybrid rice has been put on the agenda, and the state has approved that within three years, hybrid rice will be planted throughout the country.

Inspection is the most important thing. The dignitaries who live in the capital of Dongzhou must be aware of the real situation below. In order to prevent state governors from falsely reporting data in order to compare with each other and not fall behind.

After Li Zhen knew about it, he felt that he should follow along.

He made his fortune all the way from Dongzhou, and he has never left Dongzhou. Li Zhen also wanted to go to the poorer areas of the country to see the real situation of the people. You can't be a dean who has to listen to the reports of the people below and doesn't know what to do, right?

It is also necessary to go down and have a look.

On the airship, Li Zhen asked Jia Liping to sit beside him, and asked softly, "Have you done what I asked you to do?"

Jia Liping quickly said: "I have already sent invitation letters to the 67 known countries in the world. As for how many people will be able to come by then, I am not sure. Because some places are very feudal, The king of a country will certainly not take risks abroad."

Li Zhen said again: "The one I told you is to invite everyone to build the 'Human Co-Prosperity Federation' and to talk about the benefits of the United Nations. Have you written the invitation letter for those regulations?"

Jia Liping nodded and said: "It's written. I also polished it up and wrote many benefits. But it's a bit embarrassing. When I think about it, I think it's actually impossible."

"Why?"

"Traffic problem."

Jia Liping said sternly: "To establish a Federation of Common Prosperity for Humanity, the king of a country must personally attend and sign the treaty. Mr. Li, you said that the ones who are close are fine, but those who are far away, come to light in New Kyushu." It takes several months to sit on a boat. Such a long journey, even if some emperors are very excited, but they will definitely go on strike on such a long journey. The risk is too great, not to mention whether they will encounter bad people, just say The wind and waves on the sea are not a small danger. I guess, only the countries around New Kyushu will be in place as promised."

Li Zhen was silent for a while: "Jinghong's Grasshopper flight test was successful. After landing, send them a telegram and ask them to start developing a manned aircraft as soon as possible."

Jia Liping took a breath: "Mr. Li~IndoMTL.com~You mean..."

"Yes. Use the plane to solve the traffic problem."

"This...isn't this unbelievable? The Grasshopper just succeeded in its test flight, so I'm in a hurry."

"The safety of the Grasshopper is no problem. The only thing that needs attention is the supply problem along the way."

Li Zhen summed up the language and said: "After you go back, you can send some teams of envoys to those countries, and tell their monarchs that the transportation is very convenient. The Kyushu Academy of Sciences is responsible for picking up and dropping off. If possible, When the plane arrives in their country, give the plane directly to their country as a gift. At that time, they will train their own pilots, and their own country will be responsible for picking up their own emperor. This will eliminate a lot of their doubts.”

Jia Liping exclaimed: "Send it..."

"Yes. Send it away. The plane is worthless. Once it is mass-produced, it will be like a car. The technical content of the Grasshopper is not high, and it will be sent as soon as it is sent. It can be regarded as helping the world to start the space age together. The voyage is too far away. Now, it would be nice to have us take the lead in bringing the world closer.”

"Of course, the most important thing is the issue of supplies along the way. Send more emissary teams to travel. At that time, they will need to stop and land in some countries for supplies. Discuss with those countries along the way, and then help clear a road as a temporary airport The runway. Our technicians also have to prepare fuel supplies in advance and make preparations in advance. Those countries will not refuse this request, let alone give up a road. They are willing to give up a city. This is their experience. Airplanes, the best time to familiarize yourself with this new type of transportation, airplanes, will only be missed by fools.”

Listening to Li Zhen's rambling, Jia Liping kept taking notes. As soon as he landed, he immediately sent a telegram back to Laoshan to assign these tasks as soon as possible.
