Chapter 2751

The principles and designs of aircraft are not a problem for the time-travelers who have mastered a large amount of black technology. The information in the Fort Victory database is enough for their descendants to use until the aerospace era. Especially after successfully manufacturing an internal combustion engine

After that, realizing the dream of flying seems to be just around the corner.

But things are not as simple as expected. Even if the time-travelers have mastered the required technology, there are still many difficulties in putting it into practice. To put it simply, there are no experts in aviation technology among the time-travelers.

There are many people who have flown in airplanes, but there are no professionals who can build airplanes or fly airplanes.

Therefore, it took Haihan much longer than expected to achieve this goal. The Ministry of Industry spent several years building several single-wing propeller test machines, which were piloted by a few bold time travellers.

The apprentice successfully flew it into the sky, but its performance and reliability are still very worrying. For the sake of safety, it can only fly in the airspace near the airport.

Of course, it is not impossible to achieve long-distance flight. It is just a matter of adding enough fuel and flying thousands of miles in one breath. However, long-term working engines and weather conditions in unknown airspace will also make the risks greater.

Increasing. And all the time-travelers have distinguished status, and there are a few who are willing to risk their lives to save time by taking a plane with immature technology.

Therefore, although the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Transport continue to invest resources in aviation projects, and even plan to build an airport in Hangzhou in the capital relocation plan, it may take a long time to make it a safe and reliable way of transportation.

The Executive Committee is counting on the practical application of aviation technology to effectively solve many problems existing in the current power structure, allowing the highest authority to better control the empire's increasingly large territory. By then, it will reach Liaodong in the north and Java in the south.

The Executive Committee no longer has to worry about its authority being beyond the reach of these remote areas.

After Bai Letong listened to Bai Kesi's explanation of the progress of the aviation project, he could not hide his disappointment. He had seen a test aircraft flying in the sky in Sanya, and he also thought that one day he could fly on such an aircraft and fly thousands of miles a day.

It can reach distant destinations at high speed, but according to what Baikes said, it seems that it will take several years before it can truly enter the stage where it can be widely used.

Bai Kesi saw what he was thinking and comforted him with a smile: "Why are you anxious? Even if my father's generation can't catch up, your generation will definitely be able to fly. In a few more years, the relevant technology will mature, and there will be

By recruiting the first batch of experienced pilots, we will be able to promote this project to various places."

Bai Letong sighed: "I hope this day will come soon, so that I won't have to spend so much time traveling between places in the future."

Bai Kesi smiled and said: "Even if you have a plane, there are only a few places that you can go to. You can't go wherever you want... By the way, if you have no other work at hand, follow me to Jiande County tomorrow.

Just a trip?"

Bai Letong listened to the meeting today and knew that his father wanted to see the industrial projects that were to be settled there. He immediately nodded and said, "I will go with you. But if the Japanese envoy comes to Hangzhou in two days, will there be any delays?"

Negotiated?"

Bai Kesi said: "It doesn't matter. With your Uncle Shi here, he knows what to do. And he wants to control the Japanese. The negotiation process will not be fast. When we come back from Jiande County, maybe the negotiations will still be completed."

Didn’t get to the point.”

Bai Letong said: "Is Uncle Shi planning to raise the price and give the Japanese a hard blow?"

Bai Kesi shook his head slightly and said: "It's not that simple. The first thing to do is to see how eager the Japanese are to buy arms, and the second thing is to leave room for other operations. What we want is long-term business, not a one-time deal.

"

The next day, Bai Kesi and his son left their base and headed for Jiande County, southwest of Hangzhou.

Although the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions have all pledged their support to Haihan, Jiande County is under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou Prefecture and is not under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Prefecture. Haihan officials have limited control over it, so they naturally dare not relax their security work. Therefore, in addition to Bai Kesi's own security guards,

In addition, Shi Diwen specially allocated a company of troops to escort this trip. There was also a company of infantry stationed in the area earlier, which together was enough to ensure safety.

Zhang He, the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture, who rushed to Hangzhou for a meeting yesterday, had already rushed to Jiande County overnight to make preparations in advance for Bai Kesi's inspection. Huang Zhichang, the foreman in charge of the construction of local industrial projects, stayed behind and joined Bai Kesi today.

Before setting off, you can also make some more detailed reports to Baikes on the way.

Huang Zhichang was originally from Zengcheng, Guangdong. He came to Sanya as an immigrant 20 years ago and was chosen as an apprentice by Yu Feng from the Ministry of Industry. He has been working in the field of mechanical processing and is now a professional who can stand alone.

Huang Zhichang is affiliated with the Ministry of Industry and is mainly responsible for supervising infrastructure related to industrial equipment in projects in Jiande County, which is equivalent to project supervision. However, he does not have the final say alone. There are several local foremen affiliated with the Ministry of Construction.

They are real construction workers.

The group of people took four sailboats on the Qiantang River, then went upstream along the river and passed through two large bays. They arrived at the confluence of the Fuchun River and the Puyang River. The downstream after the merger is the Qiantang River, heading towards Jiande.

The county is about to enter the Fuchun River.

From Hangzhou to Tonglu County upstream, the navigation conditions are relatively ideal. The widest part of the river is more than two miles, and the narrowest part is about a hundred feet. The water channel is six or seven feet deep, which is enough to pass ships with a displacement of more than 100 tons.

It was already dark when the fleet reached Fuyang County that day, and they had walked nearly a hundred miles on the river. Bai Kesi was not in a hurry and ordered the fleet to rest for the night at the dock outside Fuyang County.

After hearing the news, the magistrate of Fuyang County, the county magistrate and others came to the riverside to ask for a meeting. However, these local officials knew that they were of low status, so they did not rush to send gold and silver. Instead, they brought a few skilled cooks over in a pragmatic manner.

I also brought all the ingredients and condiments myself, so I set up a scene on the dock and took the time to make hot dinner for Bai Kesi and his party.

Half of the ingredients for this meal come from the river. As the saying goes, "You can't throw Fuchun away, but half of it is fresh from the river." This shows the richness of local aquatic resources. It's a pity that Bai Kesi and his party didn't come at the best time.

The distinctive aquatic product is undoubtedly the anchovy, which was listed as a tribute to the Ming Dynasty. However, this fish only goes up from the ocean to the river beaches in Tonglu County to spawn around the Dragon Boat Festival. It is not available in this season.
