Chapter 126 The first defense transaction
Hugo 7 Eckner can be said to have truly inherited the legacy of Count Zeppelin and revived the declining "Zepelin" again and reached its peak in 1930. The "Zepelin spacecraft" he personally presided over and built has become a contemporary legend since its birth. It was described by media people who like to exaggerate it in various earth-shaking adjectives and appeared in various publications.
It has to be admitted that this spacecraft does have a proud capital. It is 2,366 meters long, with a maximum diameter of 305 meters and a height of 35 meters. The height of the entire airship is comparable to that of the building on the top floor. The hollow aluminum alloy skeleton supports the huge hull, and the multiple airbags inside can accommodate a total of 104,700 cubic meters of hydrogen, with a self-weight of 118 tons and a lift of 60 tons.
Her maximum speed is 128 kilometers per hour, the cockpit is located on the lower side of the front of the airship, and there are generators, radio stations, wired telephones and other equipment on the airship. Her double-decker cabin is located at the bottom of the airship, arranged like a luxury hotel, and can take 30 passengers. Compared with the simple and extreme aircraft at that time, it can be said that one in the sky and the other underground.
This advantage lasted until July this year, when Douglas China's DC1 passenger aircraft appeared. As the first luxury passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft that can truly make profits, DC1 marks the official arrival of the era of air transportation.
For this reason, Hugo 7 Ekner was depressed for a while, but soon became excited. He decided to design and build larger and faster airships, and never let those small and poor planes compete. At this moment, Zhu Bin's design came.
No wonder Mr. Doctor was surprised that what Zhu Bin gave was not a conventional airship creation. It seemed that she was like a flattened "Zeppellin", with a length of 276 meters, a width of 65 meters, a height of only 33 meters, which can accommodate 200,000 cubic meters of helium, but its own weight was only 160 tons, and its available lift reached an astonishing 150 tons.
The doctor originally disagreed with this data, but after carefully looking at the breakdown drawings, he knew that something amazing happened!
The entire airship's skeleton is made of high-strength aluminum alloy. The airbag is made of a closed textile and non-woven double-layer fabric made of high-strength "Stone Dragon" fiber to form 18** units. The shell is also made of thin aluminum alloy and overlapping this material. It is not afraid of general impact and scratch cutting. The most important part of the airship is empty!
The complete empty capsule is 30xj5 meters from beginning to end. It is a flat runway and a hangar that can accommodate 12 aircraft! Four elevators down to connect to the bottom pod.
In addition to the rear main thruster, two rotor-facing upward-facing engines are installed on both sides of the outer periphery of the central main skeleton, and equipment platforms for the warp and weft skeleton are reserved, which is obviously possible to install defensive weapons!
And those five engines are also extraordinary, with all-aluminum body, high-strength cylinder liner, and piston sleeve, which burn not gasoline or diesel, but methane!
This is not a flying ship, it is simply a super flying carrier flying in the air!
After reading all the drawings, senior engineers from Zeppelin unanimously agreed that this airship can be manufactured and can definitely fly! But a fatal question is, where do the airbag materials, methane and helium come from?
Methane is not easy to produce, and helium has always been controlled by the Americans. To be precise, the Rockefeller family has been extracting oil and gas from oil and gas for military and scientific research since the last century. For the Germans, it is prohibited to sell large quantities, because they are afraid that they will use it to conduct weapon research.
On the other hand, helium is too expensive! It can't be used! So, even though I know that hydrogen is dangerous, Zeppelin can only use this thing to fill it into the airship.
Zhu Bin's answer came immediately. methane and helium can be extracted from oil and gas fields mined from GD Group in Germany. "Shilong" fibers are provided by the group itself, produced and tailored in Germany.
Zeppelin and the doctors dared not neglect, and they welcomed representatives of the National Defense Forces and the Nazi Party with doubts, and learned some secrets of cooperation from them. At the same time, the general of the National Defense Forces learned with great interest that this giant could rise to 20,000 feet, and issued an order ~ If this big guy is really as clever and effective as designed, Germany must make and own it! Including the "stone dragon" fiber.
No one understands better than the Germans, and they have always been at the forefront of the world in this regard. When they found the bulletproof vests, fibers, titanium alloys and other high-strength material alloys exhibited by GD in Shanghai in July, they made up their minds to get them. So Zhu Bin went to Germany and they proposed it.
At the end of the month, when the German delegation went to Shanghai to sign the contract, it couldn't wait to organize a total of 12 10,000 tons of freighters, and the various machine tools, machinery, and equipment pulled away were blinded by the Chinese industry representatives attending the meeting. When they returned to the voyage, they all replaced the employed personnel and escort team of Zhu Bin's fleet. After pulling back ko 10,000 tons of gold ore from the Eastern Pacific, the Germans almost went crazy!
Hitler and the generals of the National Defense Forces issued an order to make every effort to ensure the transaction progress, even if the equipment was advanced first! The shipyards that had been shut down for a long time resumed work, and more than 20 standard freighters with 10,000 tons, 20,000 tons or even higher tonnage were opened at a time, and the high-speed operation was carried out according to the sectional manufacturing and assembly line manufacturing method provided by Zhu Bin.
Most of the German industrial system driven by this quickly resumed production. The original unemployed population of five or six million was decreasing a large number of days. The support rate of the Nazi Party’s public party, the Nazi Party, soared sharply!
In short, all transactions related to Zhu Bin were put first. Large offshore drilling platforms, airships, and 10,000-ton hydraulic presses were dismantled directly to China, and the huge industrial machines in Germany began to rotate wildly!
Zhu Bin was amused and crying when he learned about it, but he didn't have time to care about it too much, because just a few days after his test flight was successful, a big happy event came to him.
On November 5, when Zhu Bin was inspecting the construction of the group building at the construction site of No. 36 on the Bund, Zhang Guoshu, the manager of the defense company, came happily to report: "Both Zhu, there is a deal coming to the door! Mayor Shen from Shandong agreed to renting the Guzhenkouwan, Jiao County as a base, but there is a condition that he must do something for him."
"What's the matter? He should know that our defense company will not be able to help him fight a civil war. Besides, didn't Liu Zhennian join forces to drive him away?"
Zhu Bin was happy after hearing this, and then he began to frown.
