Wang Xuchen said anxiously: "Brother, I'm not just playing around. I don't have a presence in the capital. Can it be like a big company? Las Vegas is talking to the Americans. It takes time, but I have to be in Beijing. Only after gaining some fame in the city can people take me seriously."

Wang Xudong took a puff of the cigarette, closed his eyes, leaned his head on the seat, exhaled the smoke carefully, and asked, "Father agrees?"

Wang Xuchen said, "Father didn't make a statement."

Wang Xudong took another drag on his cigarette before he said, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Wang Xuchen breathed a sigh of relief, and said hopefully: "It's nothing, the main thing is to get a piece of land. After the project is finished, brother, you can bring some friends from the political and business circles in Beijing to join us a few times."

Wang Xudong asked, "How big is the land?"

Wang Xuchen quickly reported the approximate area, and Wang Xudong thought for a while: "There must be no business within the capital, try to find one in the surrounding counties for you, and probably won't get it to Langfang."

Wang Xuchen was slightly disappointed and hesitated for a while: "Can't you be in Beijing?"

Wang Xudong was a little displeased: "I'm just the director of the planning department in the capital. There are so many officials like me in the capital. It's not easy for you to do this kind of business and take pictures. You have to look down to find a relationship. If you don't Satisfied, go buy the land yourself."

Wang Xuchen resentfully said, "Can't you let father speak up?"

Wang Xudong glared at him: "Tell father to speak, are you planning to go to Langfang to play? If you have the ability to tell father to speak, then go ahead and say it, anyway, I dare not."

Seeing that Wang Xuchen was a little depressed by the training, Lin Chuchu smoothed things over: "Xudong, you too, talking to your own family, why are you so serious? Xuchen doesn't know the situation in Beijing, so it's inevitable that he said something wrong. You You have a lot of contacts in Beijing, if you, an older brother, don't help, who will help?"

Wang Xudong had no expression on his face, and he hummed, which was his agreement.Wang Xuchen hurriedly sent a grateful look to his sister-in-law, Lin Chuchu smiled slightly, feeling overwhelmed, but sighed a little in her heart.

When the movie was about to end, Long Yun and Xiaoyue walked out of the gate of the cinema. Xiaoyue looked back, but luckily the group of people did not follow, so she let out a sigh of relief. When she was outside the cinema, Xiaoyue suddenly tensed up. face, stopped and stared at Long Yun fiercely.

Long Yun really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought that this princess was really unpredictable, his face changed as soon as he said it, so he smiled slightly: "Please get in the car, I will take you back to the palace."

Xiaoyue glanced around and said, "You...you have ignored everything I said..."

"what happened?"

"I said that there can only be one person who protects me. When you were in school, you arranged a large number of secret agents without asking for instructions. Now you have deployed so many secret agents around the movie theater. Don't you think I can't see it?"

Long Yun blushed, thinking that the princess's eyes are so poisonous that she could be a senior agent. Just now, he pretended to go to the bathroom in the movie theater and notified the security bureau to send more people to the Daguanlou movie theater. I told you to be careful about concealment, but I didn't expect that the princess would still spot it as soon as I came out.

Long Yun was about to explain, but he didn't expect that with a "slap", he was slapped heavily on the face, and the pain was burning. Xiaoyue's chest heaved and fell, with tears in her eyes, she said word by word: "From now on! , I want you to leave my side, I don't need your protection!"

Long Yun was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "How can this be done, Your Royal Highness, what if you are alone and in danger?"

"Don't worry about it! I'm warning you, from now on, you can't follow me anymore, or I'll kill you!" Xiaoyue's shoulders trembled in anger, and it seemed that what she said was true.

Long Yun still wanted to say something, Xiaoyue got on a tram without looking back, and quickly disappeared into the crowd of traffic.

Long Yun smiled wryly, remembering Zhao Bingjun's exhortation, he said that the princess has a stubborn temper, don't argue with her when things happen, you must follow her temper, otherwise no one can afford it.Long Yun turned around and got into the car, and followed the tram far away, thinking that the little girl was playing with her temper, and I will just catch up with her later and make amends.

The tram goes from Qianmen West Street to Beihai Park, then to Imperial University of Finance and Economics, then to Huilong Garden and Hongfu Park, and finally to Gulou West Street.

Long Yun said in his heart, I don't know what the princess is going to do. Seeing the crowds of people moving up and down the tram, Long Yun picked up the car and strode over, staring at the people getting on and off the tram until all the people on the tram got off. , and did not see the princess, Long Yun suddenly had an ominous premonition, he jumped onto the tram a few times, looked around for nothing, and asked the driver and the passengers who got off, they all said they hadn't noticed.

Long Yun got off the tram in a daze, the bell on the car rang, and seeing the tram slowly drive away, he felt a sudden blackness in front of his eyes...

Hall of Mental Cultivation in the Forbidden City.

Pu Yin is reporting to his father on the development of a large civil airliner.

"Empire attaches great importance to the protection of technology patents. As long as it is a design that it thinks is superior, it can make samples and submit all design materials to the Patent Protection Office to apply for patents. Those who thought they were world-leading back then can also apply for global patents at the same time. Patent, if the global patent application is approved, then the Patent Protection Office will send a special person to guide and assist the designer to apply for international patent protection, so if the design or technology has not been declared for patent, the designer or technology holder generally will not Publicize these designs or patents to others. You must know that a design or technology with a certain value represents money and benefits." Guan Xuqing taught his son the opportunity without losing the opportunity.

Pu Yin rubbed his nose, smiled and said: "Father, I was just messing around. This time I went to study with the aerodynamic experts of the Academy of Sciences, and many people said that this idea is a bit whimsical and has no practical value."

Guan Xuqing came to his senses instead, "The twentieth century was an era of technological explosion. Many technologies that affected the whole world were considered whimsical at the beginning, but later facts proved that the person who first proposed these ideas was not a lunatic. , but a bold creator. Hurry up and get it, my favorite is those technologies that seem impossible to achieve, and I support you."

Pu Yin nodded, and ordered his assistant to bring in some airplane models. Pu Yin went to a few folded drawings, first opened the large drawings, laid them on the ground, and then looked at the emperor and said: "Father, You see, this is the latest design from the Aviation Administration."

As soon as Guan Xuqing saw the top drawing, his eyes lit up. He bent down quickly and flipped through the next few drawings, but his expression was very excited. He read it over and over two or three times, and finally looked excitedly Pu Yin asked: "Have you done any experiments, and whether this design can be realized?"

Pu Yin shook his head and said: "It's just a design, and we need to consult with aerodynamics experts further. If the design is feasible, we will try it out. However, Father, it will cost a lot of money to do this kind of design. Many experts think that there is no such thing as feasibility."

"No, I think you have more insight than those experts. This design is absolutely feasible. As long as this design is successful, it will definitely become the most important means of air transportation in the future. It will turn the sky into a thoroughfare, and the distance of the whole world will be shortened. , this is an epoch-making and important design.”

Pu Yin stood up and pointed to the design drawing on the top, "It is an aircraft design drawing. From the paper, it looks not much different from a military aircraft. The difference is that the shape is wider and longer. The marked size is larger than Military bombers are much larger. The internal structure diagrams below are obviously different from those of military aircraft, because the interior is designed with a passenger compartment and a cargo compartment design. Isn’t this a transport aircraft, or a passenger aircraft and a cargo aircraft.”

Guan Xuqing smiled and asked Pu Yin, "How do those experts evaluate it?"

Will of the Empire Chapter 924 Airbus

Speaking of the expert's evaluation, Pu Yin was a little disappointed again, "The expert gave three reasons. One is that it is impractical. At present, there is no suitable material to manufacture such a large aircraft. The other is that according to our design, the power [-], the load-bearing capacity can not meet the practical standard, and the third is worthless, even the old-fashioned mosquito plane is better than a superfluous design, used for passenger transportation, no matter how many people it carries, it is not as good as one-fifth of a passenger airship First, plus fuel consumption and other reasons, the cost of air transportation is higher than that of passenger airships, so the transportation fare will be too expensive. No airline will use this kind of aircraft for transportation, and the reason for changing it to a cargo aircraft is the same. of."

The three aspects mentioned by the aerodynamics experts, judging from the current situation, are indeed pointing to the point. Historically, the real application of transport aircraft did not begin until the 20s.It is precisely because of the decline of airships that special-purpose transport aircraft have received more attention, and eventually made aircraft replace airships as the most important aircraft in the world. However, in comparison, airships still have certain advantages in some aspects. Now the world The main aviation tool is still the airship.In addition to being gradually replaced by lighter and more flexible aircraft in military affairs, airships are still dominated by airships in other aspects. Advantages that cannot be replaced by aircraft.

In China, the manufacture and use of airships has actually entered a relatively mature stage.There are five large companies specializing in the manufacture of airships, including Feilong Aircraft Company, and more than a dozen small and medium-sized companies that manufacture small and medium-sized airships. Forty percent of airships are made in China.

As for airlines and postal transportation, China is even more dominant.Ten large airlines including Northwest Airlines, and postal transportation companies including Northwest Post, have business networks covering the whole world, especially in China. Basically, cities and counties with more than [-] people have regular flights.This is also an important part of the empire's land, sea and air three-dimensional transportation network.If it weren't for the fare of airships being more expensive than trains, cars and ships, and the transport capacity not as good as trains and ships, airships might even become the most important means of transportation in China.

With such a mature air passenger transport tool and the world's leading military aircraft, and the take-off and landing conditions of the aircraft, such as the requirements of the airport are much higher than that of the airship, it seems that the design of the Northwest Aviation Bureau does not have much practical value.

"The experts' evaluation is not unreasonable, but it is only superficial. In fact, the three problems he mentioned are not the main problems, and it is not impossible to solve them."

When Pu Yin heard that there was a solution, he immediately regained his energy and said quickly, "Father, there is really a solution, how to solve it?"

Guan Xuqing pondered for a while, and asked Pu Yin first: "Yin'er, do you have the confidence to persevere? To be honest, the three problems they mentioned can be solved, but the most important problem is time. Then It is that this kind of aircraft cannot become the main model used by the Air Force and airlines in a short period of time, but as long as you continue to improve the manufacturing technology of this aircraft, one day, this aircraft can replace airships and become the most important means of air transportation .”

Pu Yin immediately nodded and said: "Of course I have confidence, father, please tell me how to solve these problems."

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "I have talked with the Wright Brothers before. In terms of power, it is estimated that based on this design, there will be no major problems with the current power technology, as long as some corresponding improvements are made. As for the load-bearing capacity, if all-metal power is used The design is also not a big problem, as for the third problem. In my opinion, I only see the disadvantages, but not the advantages."

"Advantages?" Pu Yin looked at his father, looking a little puzzled. Originally, the experts said so, but he himself didn't think this kind of aircraft had any advantages.

"Why did you come up with the idea of ​​designing this aircraft?"

Pu Yin immediately said: "The idea at the time was very simple. Since the plane is light, flexible and fast, why can't it be used for transportation? It is impossible for the plane to be made so big. Airships can be made so big, and the plane should be the same. "

Guan Xuqing clapped his hands and said: "That's right, the speed, no matter what, the speed of the plane must exceed the speed of the airship. This is one of his advantages. Another point, look at the airship, the pod used to carry it is actually only big. The airbag can travel more than tens of meters, and if the plane can basically reach the size of the pod, it can have a capacity similar to that of the pod. The take-off and landing conditions of the plane are higher than that of the airship, but it is not absolute. Because of its huge size, an airship occupies a larger area than ten airplanes, and the construction requirements for a large passenger airship takeoff and landing base are not lower than those of airplanes, and the airport used by ten airplanes with the same capacity may only be enough Take off and land an airship."

Pu Yin pondered for a while, and finally said with some hesitation: "My design can only carry a hundred people at most, which is far from being comparable to an airship. The capacity is low, but the maintenance cost is higher, and it cannot fly all-weather like an airship, and the sailing time is longer. Can't compare."

Guan Xuqing stood up, patted Pu Yin on the shoulder and said: "Son, every technology is constantly developing. I don't understand some problems very well, so I can't tell you more, but if you have confidence, you can persevere." , it will definitely be successful. Isn’t the airship slowly growing from scratch to become bigger and more mature? Airplanes can replace the main position of airships in military combat, why can’t they be used in other aspects? Unexpected, only unexpected, if you dare to do this kind of design, it proves that you are a person with ideas. How about it, do you have confidence? If you have confidence, I will help you. When it comes to home, it is still a question of money. I suggest that you carry out this project through public bidding. Not to mention foreign companies, even imperial companies will fight for this project. In this way, the government does not need to pay a penny, and your research funding is also available. After the design is successful It’s just to give them some commercial benefits, what we want is the core technology!”

Pu Yin nodded, with his father's encouragement, he was full of confidence.

"But I'm not satisfied with your design because you are too timid. Either don't do it, or make it the best, safest, and largest airliner in the world!"

The more Pu Yin listened to it, the more excited he became, his eyes flickered and he asked, "Please give me your advice, father."

Guan Xuqing picked up the stack of blueprints and looked at them carefully, pointing and said: "I won't say much about the all-metal design, I'm talking about a blueprint, as long as you can design it successfully, it will be a great achievement. "

Guan Xuqing picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on the back of the drawing. Pu Yin looked down and was stunned!
