Chapter 286 Dimensionality Reduction Strike from the Sky (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
"That is……"

Verne, who was holding a coffee cup, came to the window. He yawned first, then froze, blinked his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Is that... a balloon?"

But in an instant, Verne overturned this judgment.

"No, no, this is... cigar-shaped? It looks really big! What is this? Is it an airship? But why is the airship so big?"

As a well-known science fiction writer, Verne came to Nanhua half a year ago. The reason why he came to this "Paris" in South America was to find ideas for the novel - because this city is known as the "city that never sleeps". , the bright lights will light up the night sky.

electric light!

In the past few years, it has been widely used in this city. According to some newspapers, even in the homes of the most ordinary workers, kerosene lamps are no longer seen, and electric lights are used instead.As for gas, it has not been eliminated, but has replaced coal as gas in residents' kitchens.

In the past six months, this city has brought him so many surprises that it even made him feel like he was in the future, from trams that don’t need horses to gas stoves as soon as they are turned on, to connecting thousands of homes Thousands of lights.

The city always brought him many surprises, as it does now.

The cigar-shaped behemoth flying through the air now looks even more spectacular, at least the size of a building, which is why Verne feels extremely important and surprised.

Although as early as 1852, the world's first near-practical operational airship was designed and invented by the Frenchman Henri Giffard, and the first test flight was completed, but that airship was not large.

But the airship floating in the air now seems to be hundreds of meters long.

What is even more astonishing?
But it turns!You must know that before that, those airships were floating with the wind, and he would fly wherever the wind went.

As for controlling the course in the air?

How is this possible?But the airship in the air was adjusting its direction there.

"He, he's turning!"

Witnessing it turning slowly in the air, and seeing the looming figure in the cockpit as the airship passed over his head, Verne couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"Here, there is actually a small house under this airship..."

While talking to himself in astonishment, Verne hurried out of the guest room.

Whatever it takes to figure it out, what is that!
Even for a moment, the name of the new novel appeared in his mind - "Flying City", and he even conceived a simple storyline in his mind, that is, a city floating in the air and what happened in the city story.

In fact, it's just an airship!

As early as three years ago, the Nanhua Floating Research Laboratory had already trial-produced the first hydrogen airship. The airship was only 50 meters long and was driven by an electric motor.For the next three years, the Floating Research Office has been researching airships.

From the rigid airship with a keel made of balsa wood, a large number of longitudinal and radial suspension lines, and a tarpaulin outside the frame, to the current large soft-hull airship, it is definitely a leap forward.

"Commander, look, this is our FT-14 airship. It is a giant over 80 meters long. In addition to the three crew members, it can also carry 2.8 tons of supplies. It has two With a 30-horsepower gasoline engine, the fastest speed can reach 30 kilometers if the wind is down!"

Standing by the balcony, Zhu Xianhai looked at the slowly flying airship through binoculars. Although from the perspective of future generations, such a behemoth flying through the air at such a slow speed is simply a living target, but in this era , this is an extremely astonishing existence.

"2.8 tons..."

Nodding his head, Zhu Xianhai smiled.

"Almost 30 armed commandos can be transported. If we build more, it is also possible to carry out special aerial attacks!"

Almost subconsciously, Zhu Xianhai thought of air transportation.After all, in this day and age, commandos drop from the sky, that is absolutely amazing.Maybe it can play a surprising role.Even some special actions like decapitation can be carried out.

As long as there are suitable weapons, the soldiers will be trained in a targeted manner, and then the airship will be used to infiltrate from the air.It is not impossible to implement such an action.

"Master, it's not cheap!"

Li Fuguo said.

"Although the structure of this soft-hull airship is simpler than that of a hard-hull airship, its airbags use a lot of rubber. Unless the price of rubber comes down, it won't be cheap."

rubber……

Although the plantations in the Congo River Basin have started breeding rubber saplings with rubber seeds collected from Brazil two years ago, it will take at least six to ten years from planting to harvesting rubber. Purchasing from Brazil.The price is definitely not cheap.

"It doesn't matter if it's more expensive now. When our rubber plantations produce rubber in the future, the price will naturally drop."

Pointing to the airship in the sky, Zhu Xianhai said with a smile.

"Such a large airship can be used in many ways. Let's just talk about the military. As long as it rises to an altitude of 1000 meters or 2000 meters, the people on the ground will basically just stare blankly."

What is air superiority!

As long as you can fly into the sky these days, you must have air superiority!After all, there is only our airship in the sky. What kind of air superiority is this?

It is clearly monopolizing the sky!
"But Commander, why are we flying so high?"

Li Fuguo was a little dazed, he hadn't figured out what the use of this big airship was until now, not to mention the slow flying, and it was so big.

"Fu Guo, you said that if an airship flies over Nanhua, just like it, and then drops a bomb from a height of one or two thousand meters, what should we do then?"

Zhu Xianhai said with a smile.

"What, what?...Throw, throw the bomb?"

This time it was Li Fuguo's turn to be speechless, he stared at the airship in the sky, thinking in his heart.

He doesn't know how accurate the bomb is when the bomb is dropped in the air one or two kilometers away, but what is certain is that the guns on the ground will definitely not be able to reach it.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I will only be beaten, and I can only watch helplessly..."

"That's right!"

Zhu Xianhai nodded,
"It's just that I can only look forward to being beaten, and I can only open my eyes wide and let the bomb fall on my head."

What is a dimensionality reduction strike?
This is a dimensionality reduction strike!

Perhaps this kind of airship is extremely backward, but it must be seen from the perspective of future generations. In this era, such a powered airship is definitely an epoch-making existence, so what if its speed is very slow?

As long as he's in the air!

He is invincible!

As long as it is in the sky, it can bully anyone casually.

"It can commandeer in the air, bomb the city, and shoot the army with machine guns. With it, there will be no rear or front on the battlefield. If we fight the Argentines now, before our army breaks through Argentina Our airships can fly directly to Buenos Aires and bomb their cities, bomb their barracks, while they are laying down the trenches of the people."

Eyes narrowed into slits, looking at the airship slowly going away in the morning sun, the corners of Zhu Xianhai's lips raised slightly, at this moment he seemed to see the scene of airships flying over the enemy country,
Amidst the deafening sirens, bombs roared down one after another. In the violent explosion, the buildings of the city were destroyed, and the will of the people was also destroyed in the bombing.

That scene is extremely familiar, after all, there are many similar documentaries in Zhu Xianhai's memory. In those war documentaries, the city was razed to the ground and tens of thousands of people were displaced during the bombing.

Such a scene may be extremely cruel, but for the victor, such a scene is not cruel, but victory...
