The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Qin State Xianyang, inside an aircraft laboratory.

"This time the military's requirements are very high, and the carrying capacity is unexpectedly required to exceed 20 tons. This is a very large number, which may be difficult to complete." A flight engineer said worriedly.

"Well. There are also great requirements for flying distance. They require flying more than two thousand miles. This distance is almost beyond the limit of all airships. Even the latest airships used by the military, they carry two sets of fuel tanks and can add up to one thousand seventeen. Baili, two thousand li need large-scale weight reduction, only in this way, their airship can reach this limit." Another engineer said. For the new airship, the engineers racked their brains to solve this problem.

But this problem is difficult to solve, because all current airships have reached this limit. Two thousand miles technology is the limit of all airships, and it is difficult to break through.

"I think the only way to make the airship fly farther and increase its carrying capacity is to make the airship bigger. For example, my idea is to make the airship longer." The engineer Speaking of.

"If you make it too long, the airship's load-bearing beam will be difficult to bear. Moreover, if you make it too heavy, the weight of the airship itself will rise. This is really a difficult thing to solve." Another engineer .

The manufacturing of airships is very difficult. The manufacturing of airships requires advances in materials. The large amount of steel materials currently used in airships have already achieved a certain degree of difficulty. If the airship is made very long, the entire steel beam will be unbearable. In that case, the airship will be catastrophic.

This seems to be a very big problem, which makes them extremely difficult. However, Zhao Guo is cleverly solving this problem.

Zhao Guo, Handan, in an airship laboratory, this airship laboratory looks very dilapidated, but this is the base they initiated.

"This is the requirement of Qin's military bidding. This is a military requirement of the Zhao State Air Force. If we can meet this requirement, all problems will be solved," said a thin manager.

"More than two thousand miles. The load is more than fifteen tons. This. This is difficult." Engineer Marlowe said after seeing it.

"Yes, because of the difficulty, it is difficult to get the order. It is the difficulty of flying more than two thousand miles that shocked everyone." The manager said helplessly. It is difficult to maintain a flying laboratory like his. Because a large number of flying airlines carry some classic or smaller airships for transportation, because the manufacturing is simple and the cost is easy to control. Therefore, the business of the flight laboratory has not been very good. Only the large demand from the military will make the experiments of the airship laboratory easy, but the problem is that the military's orders are difficult.

"Flying for two thousand miles, with a load capacity of more than 15 tons, these indicators are difficult to achieve. First of all, the airship needs to be very long, and the airship's load capacity can be increased. However, if it is done very long, it will cause the airship to bear the weight. Liang couldn't bear it. In the end, during the flight, he would break when encountering some crosswinds. In that case, the situation would have a great impact on the airship's ability to withstand." Marlowe looked at the data in the tender and said.

"I know this, besides, Qin people use steel, and we use iron beams. There is a big difference between the two, and Qin people's airships can't do this further, we. It's hard, look. Now, it will be difficult for other airship laboratories or airlines to solve such a problem." The manager shook his head and said. And Marlowe just looked at the tender and fell into thinking. He felt that there should be some solution to this. Or, the airship can achieve a very high resolution.

Zhao Guo Handan Blue Sky Flying Company. This company mainly does some short-distance air transportation business. Their airships are small airships, but the speed is still fast. They mainly do some passenger transportation and freight transportation, but with a large number of railways , And the construction of road infrastructure, this company’s business may face great challenges. Therefore, the board of directors of this company decided to enter the airship manufacturing industry. In this way, their airships can solve such problems, or they can Make airships to earn higher profits. But it takes some money to enter such an industry to do this.

"The military's requirements are very high, more than two thousand miles, this is the limit of the airship." An engineer said.

"No, this is not the limit. I think the airship can go on." said a young engineer.

"What we worry about is only the supporting materials of the airship. If the airship cannot be supported by the flight, it will be difficult for the airship to fly a long distance. At this distance, the airship’s load capacity will also drop rapidly. However, we optimize the structure, such as , Using a large number of new materials. Using technologies such as aluminum alloy and steel pipe, the weight of the airship will be quickly reduced." The other party said.

"Is this feasible?" an engineer asked worriedly. He worried that doing so would cause the airship's heavy capacity to drop rapidly. Once it encounters a crosswind, the airship will be broken like a piece of paper.

"Triangular, we can use a large number of triangular brackets. In addition, using steel beams and steel support frames, using triangles, in this way, the stability can be increased a lot. It is not at this point." The engineer continued. To.

"We have another technological advancement, that is, we can drill holes in the steel beams of the airship to reduce weight. In this way, the weight of the airship will be reduced a lot. The load capacity of the airship is increased, and the airship is transported. The sailing ability will be greatly improved." The engineer said.

"Well, maybe we should give it a try. After all, we can still manufacture such an airship. If we want to reduce the weight and increase the sailing capacity of the airship, we must find a way to invest in new technology in the manufacture of the airship. With such technical support, I think it would be difficult for our airships to solve such problems. However, this requires a lot of funds. Only by solving more funds can we solve such problems." Some directors worriedly said .

If the airship wants to be made bigger, faster, and has a larger load capacity, the only way is to use new technology. This seems to be the consensus of everyone, in their opinion. This is the best method at present, but the demand for technology has big disadvantages. For example, they need to invest a lot of money to introduce new technology. At the same time, the new technology is unstable. Once the experiment fails, the loss will be very great. Big, the directors are worried about capital. Without financial support in this area, it would be difficult for them to complete it.

Inside Marlowe's personal office. The manager sat quietly on the chair and looked at Marlowe. Marlowe turned back and forth like a donkey that was being stoned, but then stopped turning. Then I picked up the pencil and kept writing and drawing. After drawing, I tore off the design drawings and re-drew. The manager knows that the other party must have an idea, but it may not be the time to take it out now. After all, the other party still lacks such experience. The manager can only wait patiently.

"Okay. My design is complete." The other party said excitedly.

"What do you mean?" the manager asked curiously. He knew that the other party must have new works.

"Double airship design, I noticed this problem when I was reading the bidding document." Marlowe said excitedly.

"Our airship cannot be made too large. If it is too large, it requires technical maturity. We do not have such a technology or such good materials. As a result, there will be a lot of problems. However, we There is an advantage, that is, the airships are all ready-made and can be manufactured on a large scale. This way we have an advantage in manufacturing." The other party said with a smile.

"Talk about it, I want to know your design ideas, or we can take the military orders." The manager asked anxiously.

"The principle is very simple. We combine the two airships. Connect them so that the airship’s load capacity will solve the problem. Half of the cargo’s load capacity can solve most of our fuel. In addition, there are also loads on the load. It’s a difficult problem, and the weight doesn’t increase much. We only need to change the propulsion system and engine, and the problem can be solved greatly.” Marlowe said excitedly. He didn't know how to come up with such a method.

Zhao’s airship cannot be made very large because their materials cannot allow them to do so. In this case, the only way is to develop horizontally, but in that case, the airship will be made flat and long. It is extremely detrimental to the airship. Especially when it comes to airships. However, if the existing airships are combined together, the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the airship will be reduced. At the same time, the two airships use one set of airship propulsion device and one set of airship propulsion engine. In this case. The weight is reduced a lot. This is of great help to the increase in the flight range of the airship.

This idea of ​​combining two into one is widely used in the later technological development. For example, the famous double Mustang aircraft has not only increased its range, but also greatly improved its combat effectiveness and aircraft performance. This kind of thinking can be quickly figured out in the limit of airships. It is definitely a genius idea, because it is in line with most of the current technology. Moreover, the dependence on technology is not very large, which is a very genius idea. There are a lot of things that do not need to be changed in the double airship, but the airship made can meet most of the current performance requirements.
