Chapter 203 Daqin Airship

No one could have expected that the First Emperor actually agreed to Li Chen's recommendation, and Han Xin, an unknown son, went to fight against Xiang Yu. After Li Chen recommended Han Xin that day, Feng Quji's party naturally jumped out and sarcastically. Li Chen knew in his heart that if the entire Qin Dynasty led the army to fight, the only ones who could compete with Xiang Yu were Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben and Han Xin. Meng Tian and Wang Ben were not to be moved when suppressing foreign races, so Han Xin became the best choice.

"What, I am the commander of suppressing the rebellion at this time?" Han Xin looked at Li Chen with incredible expression.

Although Han Xin is very confident in his talents, he has never had actual combat before coming to the Shenwu Army. Even after coming to the Shenwu Army, he has been training soldiers, doing the work of the chief in charge of the Shenwu Army, and has never been exposed to actual combat. What an honor is this to command the army to suppress the rebellion and actually regard him as the commander.

"You are the commander-in-chief, but I only got it. Although you have never experienced actual combat, some of the marks of war are engraved in your bones. You, Han Xin, are such people. Remember not to be careless. Zhao Kuo's hatred for talking about war on paper was still in front of you. Remember, you are allowed to win or lose in this battle, and the fate of your Qin Dynasty depends on this battle." Li Chen solemnly reminded.

Originally, according to the First Emperor's consciousness, Li Chen was the head coach and Han Xin was the deputy head coach. However, on the one hand, Li Chen had more important things to do, and on the other hand, if Li Chen was the head coach, there would be some checks and balances about Han Xin. Moreover, Li Chen knew his military talents.

"Han Xin, remember that Xiang Yu is brave enough to be brave. When facing him, you must be very concerned." Li Chen reminded him this time.

In Li Chen's impression, in the Chu-Han battle in the previous life, Han Xin always suffered more defeats and won fewer defeats when facing Xiang Yu. Finally, he defeated Xiang Yu with a battle of ambushing on all sides. Of course, the soldiers under the two men of the army were completely replaced in this life. Xiang Yu was in a mob, while Han Xin was in his hands with elite Qin soldiers.

The showdown between Han Xin and Xiang Yu is a showdown between the brave warriors and the military strategists. Both of them are the best in their respective fields, and it is really hard to judge who loses and who wins.

Defeating Xiang Yu's rebels is hard. Solving the food problem is soft. This time, only by using both soft and hard can the enemy be defeated.

Han Xin received the military card and command arrows and had already begun to prepare for war. It was no longer necessary to suppress the rebellion. Everyone under the jurisdiction was watching the performance of Daqin. If Daqin used iron-blooded means to suppress the rebellion, then the rest of the waiters would not dare to shoot the anti-flag. But if they could see another little bit of Daqin's intention of being strong outside and doing the middle, they would inevitably respond.

Under Li Chen's guidance, folk scientists of Daqin were fiddling with Daqin's first airship. Although this airship was simple, it devoted all its efforts. After Li Chen explained the theoretical knowledge in detail, everyone did not encounter any technical barriers when they acted. The airship can be an advanced version of a hot air balloon and belongs to a floating aircraft. Although this type of aircraft is simple to make, its shortcomings are also obvious, with slow speed, poor air cannot fly, easy to explode, etc. These are all his shortcomings.

"Is your skin glue good? If it flies up and leaks, it will be troublesome?" Big Niu asked in a muffled voice like a guy.

"Don't worry, I promise that there will be no leaks. My girlfriend has not leaked until now?" The man said dissatisfied.

The airbags of the airship are sewn together from hundreds of pins. The joints of the cowhide are first sewn with dense stitches, and then paste them with boiled leather glue to avoid air leakage.

The lower airbag is a combustion device and a rudder, and at the bottom is a huge hanging basket. The milled toner of the fuel of the airbag. Theoretically, the fuel carried by each airship can support the airship to load ten tons of cargo and head to three thousand miles away.

"Marty, how can this thing fly?" Daniu looked at the airship in front of him, and countless embarrassment appeared in his eyes.

The airbag of this airship is exactly cylindrical. After it is full of air, it is round and rolling. The hanging compartment hanging under the airbag is like a big ball hanging down under the rod.

"You can fly, you can fly." Li Chen said confidently.

Since the Westerners in the 19th century were able to make airships, the Qin people must be able to do it. As a result, the Westerners in the 19th century had not been civilized for many years. The Qin people must be the best race in the world, and the Qin people must be able to do what Westerners can do.

"Then let's try flying." The big bull's eyes were full of desire.

Flying in the air like birds has been a wish in human hearts since ancient times. Now you can fly in the airship immediately, how can these people not be excited or excited?

Soon, the airship had heated to a certain level and could be tested immediately.

"Let's try it with three people first, who will get there first?" Li Chen asked, looking at the scientists eager to try.

The airship needs at least three people to operate, one turns to the helmsman, responsible for regulating the flight direction of the airship. One is responsible for controlling the combustion device and regulating the airbag height according to the air pressure. The other is the observer, responsible for observing the flight environment.

"I'll do it."

"I made the rudder, I'll get it."

"I invented the leather glue, so I have to put it first."

"Why, you go, I'll go first."

"I'll go first."

Looking at the people who were arguing over the first flight quota, Li Chen sighed in his heart, and scientists are all crazy. This thing has just been invented. I can be sure that I can fly on this, and I can definitely get off if I can get off. It’s just that it is a kind of slow and safe way down, or a kind of one step in one step, so this cannot be guaranteed. After all, you can encounter any dangerous situation. If you really encounter danger, you can rely on the performance on the spot.

"Get lots."

Li Chen knew that if they could fight, there would be no result. Drawing lots was obviously the fairest way.

After a while, the result of drawing lots came out. Big bull, the guy who invented the skin glue, a strong man in his forties. These three of them looked at the people with their heads raised and their faces of envy.

The strong man was responsible for turning the rudder, the man was responsible for burners, and the big bull was responsible for observing. When the burner was ignited, the hot air in the airship also reached the critical point and began to slowly rise into the air.

"ah."

"Go."

"It's going to fly."

The three people on the airship couldn't calm down their excitement, and each sighed. The airship staggered towards the air, and soon everyone on the ground could only see a black dot.

"If this tm falls, it should be a three-pack." Li Chen thought to himself as he looked at the black dots in the air.

Soon, everyone could no longer see the black spots. After waiting for an hour in anxiety, the long-lost black spot appeared again.

“Refresh, refreshing.”

"I, the big bull, actually have one." The airship slowly landed on the ground, and the big bull said excitedly.

"How." Li Chen asked.

"Safe, quite safe. We flew all the way around Xianyang City. We controlled the burner and air valve to control the flight altitude, and the rudder to control the flight direction. As long as there are no operating errors in our eyes, it is absolutely safe." Daniu published his flying queen blessing

Yet, the reason why airships were unsafe in later generations was that there were too many weapons that could jeopardize the airships, and nothing in the Qin Dynasty could threaten the airships.

The test flight of the airship was successful, and the people of Daqin took another step away from the dream of flying into space per capita. Li Chen's step was a big step in the development of Daqin's technology.
