Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 127
Seeing that the two of them were still whispering to each other, it didn't look like it was going to end for a while.

Cheng Nuo simply looked away, took back the plane design drawing again, and read it carefully.

It's a pity that an amateur is an amateur after all, and it seems that he can only understand the performance data, but this does not affect his inner excitement. After all, no man can resist the charm of flying to the blue sky.

More recently, if the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of China really has such a seaplane, it can fly directly from Shanghai to Tianjin, and the rescue supplies can be quickly transported to the disaster area without having to go around the sea for so long.

In the long run, when the Academy of Sciences establishes scientific research institutions in Shaanxi and Sichuan in the future, it will be more convenient for Cheng Nuo, the dean, to travel around, and at the same time, his personal safety will be more assured. We can't always rely on foreigners' cars. As a hero in the green forest, it is not impossible to slap the handle of the car when the vehicle is lying on the road.

Although it is clearly stated on the design drawing that this type of aircraft is only suitable for primary trainer aircraft, if it is forcibly used for other purposes, it may affect the performance and service life of the aircraft, but judging from its various paper data, It has far surpassed our "good" neighbor Japan in the same period.

Different from the development of aircraft directly in our country, after Japan realized the military value of aircraft, the first thing Japan started to do was not aircraft, but to imitate European and American countries. It first started with military balloons. Research off the ship.

It was not until September 1914 that the Tokyo Artillery Factory of the Japanese Army successfully imitated and produced a 9-horsepower aircraft-specific engine. In December of the same year, it was installed in the imitation French-style Mo-type 70 machine, which was officially used as the Japanese standard machine.

"Little devil, you have 70 horsepower, and grandpa and I have 100 horsepower. What do you use to play with me? If you don't beat you all over the floor, it's because we are out of shape." Holding the aircraft design to the sky, as if this Domestic aircraft can really fly freely in the sky: "Don't forget that grandpa is just a trainer plane now. When we develop a piston-powered fighter jet, the good days are still to come."

However, when we thought of the first-mover advantage in aircraft design, we were harmed by some people who were dead, and had to rely on other people's aircraft in the end, and some old-fashioned biplanes barely formed an air force, allowing little Japan to be on top of us. The rage caused the sacrifice of senior pilots headed by Gao Zhihang, and the ground battlefield fell into a passive state.

Thinking of this, Cheng Nuo spat fiercely on the ground: "What kind of nonsense zero type, that is, the Nancun group of children deceived me to be old and powerless. It's just a false name. In this life, you must be strung together into candied haws!"

Isn't it just that he has no territory? Since Cheng Nuo traveled to the Republic of China through the past, he didn't come to enjoy the blessings. He must make up for the historical regrets one by one. What he fears is that if he can do it and not do it, who will save his compatriots at that time? Our lives and this broken mountain and river.

Although the Sichuan warlords have been fighting for 23 consecutive years without a leader, it is precisely an opportunity for the Academy of Sciences to grasp the pulse of historical development, which is enough to allow it to survive this period of time and successfully usher in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

At the same time, it was also the rear of China, the last strategic fortress that we could enter and defend at that time. The achievements of the Academy of Sciences' development were also continuously supplied to the Sichuan Army, so that it would be less shabby and less bloody when it went out to war.

As for the matter of money, it seems to be easier in comparison with Tesla and others, plus the support of the Academy of Sciences.

Just as he was holding up the design drawing of the plane in mid-air and imagining the future through the paper, Bayuzao and Wang Zhu had already quietly walked over from behind.

Seeing Cheng Nuo's appearance, Bayuzao instinctively wanted to pat Cheng Nuo on the shoulder from behind to wake him up.

Unexpectedly, he was grabbed by Wang Zhu, waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Shooting people from behind is not very good, let's tell him from the front."

Bayuzao thought about it, it was really impolite to shoot people from behind. After thinking about it, he was only impatient and didn't think about it. Help move forward.

Walking in front of Cheng Nuo, he happened to see the scene of Cheng Nuo looking at the blueprint of the aircraft. Wang Zhu clenched his fist and coughed.

"Cough~hmm."

However, Cheng Nuo couldn't hear the cough at all, and was still immersed in the tragedy of the Sichuan army coming out of Sichuan, humming their military song when they came out of Sichuan:

"A man rides the wind and travels thousands of miles. It is best to die on the battlefield. How can the country become famous before the country is humiliated? You can go out with a treasured sword.

Resisting power, eradicating national thieves, sweeping barbarians and conquering Yuyu, the vast Great Wall, entering and exiting freely, broadcasting the voice of heroes on the earth.

......"

Wang Zhu and Bayuzao looked at each other, trying to get an answer from each other's eyes, but unfortunately they got nothing.

Bayuzao thought they were taking too long and the other party was already a little angry, so he deliberately let them go, so he said directly: "Professor Cheng! Professor Cheng? Are you okay?"

Hearing someone yelling, Cheng Nuo was startled suddenly, and reacted from his fantasy, seeing Bayuzao and the other two approaching, he replied enthusiastically: "You two gentlemen, you are done with your work... ouch, ouch, my arm .”

It turned out that Cheng Nuo had been holding up the design drawing in mid-air for too long, and he had been immersed in his imagination without realizing it. Now that he was awakened by Bayuzao, his arms were sore and sore, drooping on his arms like noodles, and he couldn't lift them up at all. .

Under the sun exposure, people are also a little wobbly.

Seeing this, the two quickly supported Cheng Nuo on the left and the right to prevent him from falling down.

"Professor Cheng, take a look at this... well, it's all our fault. You've been waiting there for too long. If you finish the matter in a few sentences, you don't need to stay here to suffer." Wang Zhufu Holding his right arm, he looked around for a bench on the street, and prepared to carry him there to rest.

"That's right, I can hardly lift this arm. If something goes wrong, the two of us will just..." Bayuzao was worried about Cheng Nuo, but the words got darker and darker when he spoke, and Wang Zhu's meaningful gaze Next, he quickly covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Look at my mouth, Professor Cheng, please sit down and rest quickly, you must be fine."

Here, Cheng Nuo changed from his usual kindness and generosity, and instead looked at the two with a serious face. The cannibalism made people feel creepy.

In the end, Bayuzao couldn't hold his breath, looked into Cheng Nuo's eyes, and said forcefully: "Professor Cheng, don't worry, although I was born in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, my ancestors are descendants of the imperial family of the Yuan Dynasty. Doctor Meng can definitely cure this arm, if not, I will cut off my arm and put it on for you!"

Although Wang Zhu didn't dare to look directly because of his temper, he said, "I also know a few good old Chinese doctors in my family..."

Cheng Nuo, who was sitting in the shade, suddenly burst out laughing when he saw the two of them.

It is true that the arm is sore, and it is true that the sun exposure caused heatstroke, but the weak appearance at the back is indeed false. I just want to take this opportunity to see the temperament of the two.

If you have a good temper, you can naturally confide in your heart, and you can arrange some special tasks in the future, such as being sent to Shaanxi.

If the temperament is average, it is natural to deal with business. As long as it does not violate the original intention of the Academy of Sciences, everything is easy to discuss.

Looking at it now, Cheng Nuo was very satisfied with the performance of both of them. "Tough" raised his arm and said with a smile, "To be honest, my arm really has to be blamed on you, even if you don't take responsibility."

"But you may have misunderstood." Under their suspicious gazes, Cheng Nuo moved his arms and said, "Look, this aircraft design drawing has a 'tremendous power', and the meaning it carries It's extraordinary, if I had explained it clearly earlier, I wouldn't have used so much strength to hold it up and look at it so hard."

The words were already so clear, how could the two of them not understand what was going on, it was just a joke Cheng Nuo played on them.

While feeling relieved in my heart, the word "Qianjun" was pressed on my shoulder again.

"Professor Cheng, we are a little ashamed of what you said." Bayuzao blushed, a little embarrassed.

"Hey, why did you use 'you' to address you before you went over there, but why did you use 'you' after you came back? We are all of the same generation, so it's a shame." Cheng Nuo shook his head with a smile and raised his head. The eyebrows said: "But having said that, what are the difficulties in aircraft design at present, why don't you talk about them together?"

Bayuzao was overjoyed and said excitedly, "So, Professor Cheng is willing to invest in our plane?"

Cheng Nuo made a serious face on purpose, and corrected, "It's not you, it's our plane. At that time, I still want to take the plane made by our country and see the great mountains and rivers of the motherland from the sky."

Hearing this, Bayuzao's eye circles immediately turned red, and he felt a sense of hard work and reward. God knows how much they have suffered along the way, from being full of hope to facing disappointment, regaining hope and then on the verge of despair. Criticism and incomprehension, now that the dawn is in sight, it is inevitable to be a little emotional.

Wang Zhu, who is another party involved, restrained himself as much as possible while being excited, pursed his lips and said, "Actually, when we came back, we had already expected some difficulties, but we never expected that the biggest obstacle would come from the public authorities." , if Professor Cheng really wants to invest in us..."

Cheng Nuo coughed on purpose when he heard this: "Cough...um."

Wang Zhu understood instantly, and the feeling of being one of his own was very useful, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face again: "Without funds, technology, talents, and materials, it can be said that we have nothing now, but as long as we can give We can break the situation by providing some basic materials and workers’ wages.”

Bayuzao closed his eyes fiercely and rubbed them a few times, then said with bloodshot eyes: "We don't need the salaries of the few backbones, as long as we recruit workers, buy machines, and give us enough time for development, we will definitely let Cheng The professor touched the white clouds in the blue sky with his own hands."

Cheng Nuo said with a smile in vain, "You two gentlemen can rest assured. Although I can't help you with the technology, talents and materials you mentioned, you can rest assured that the funds are convenient. You can definitely guarantee them." of."

Bayuzao was puzzled: "Professor Cheng, although I now know that you are the dean of the Academy of Sciences, you are knowledgeable and have a lot of talents under you, but this also means that everyone needs research funds, and the cost of aircraft manufacturing is higher than theirs. If we add it up, there will be more, can we sustain it?"

Wang Zhu also said: "Both of us understand Professor Cheng's kindness, but because we understand your kindness, we have to plan carefully and spend all our money wisely. In the face of righteousness, personal gains and losses are nothing."

Scientific research is not accomplished overnight, it is boring for a long time in the middle, and there are even hardships and dangers, especially in aircraft manufacturing, Cheng Nuo is even more sloppy: "In my opinion, you alone can stand up to thousands of troops Kazuma is a strategic talent of our Academy of Sciences, how could we let you be in such a bad environment, it would be too short."

Among them, the situation of Bayuzao especially affected Cheng Nuo's heart.

In history, this great talent became famous because of the outstanding performance of Chinese aircraft, which also attracted the coveted hearts of others.First, Japan secretly sent people to lure Bayuzao with a lot of money and titles, and then fabricated various reasons to try to sow discord and poach Bayuzao away, but Bayuzao always insisted on the righteousness of the nation and remained unmoved.

Later, Bayuzao returned to Shanghai by boat from Europe.Unexpectedly, he started to vomit and his face was swollen as soon as he landed, but he didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was caused by long-distance fatigue, and he was still busy reporting the results of the investigation, and then returned to Mawei to rush to design a new machine.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for me to have an inexplicable high fever, which lasted for many days, and severe pain in the middle waist.At first the doctor thought it was kidney disease, and later thought it was enteritis. However, after searching all the famous doctors, they were all at a loss. Finally, he died at the age of 37.

The cause of his death is still a mystery until now, and there is no conclusion yet.Some people say that he was unrecognized for his talents, and died of depression because his ambition to develop the aviation industry could not be realized.Some people also said that when they rushed to the European International Air Show, they were infected with a disease called psittacosis.Of course, more people think that he was poisoned to death.

It is said that the famous French doctor Xie Bi finally diagnosed brain poisoning. At the same time, Bayuzao had suspicions before his death. He said that on the ship returning home, there was a German woman dressed as an Arab lady who tried every means to get close to him. Left and right, he thought this person was suspicious.

Combined with the contradictions between China and Japan at that time, they lived a good life and had a tradition of assassination. People directly pointed the finger at Japan, presumably by instigating the Germans to do it.

Considering this alone, Cheng Nuo couldn't let these great talents go, especially when it came to the military field, he had to be [-]% careful.

Hearing Cheng Nuo's caring words, Bayuzao was very moved, but he still insisted on his words: "Professor Cheng, it's okay, this little hardship is nothing."

"I'm not opposed to suffering, but I'm opposed to unnecessary suffering. In our situation, the material conditions don't have to be so harsh." In order to dispel the other party's concerns, Cheng Nuo gave an example: "You know Mr. Nikola Tesla Wardenclyffe Tower?"

After all, they have studied abroad in Europe and the United States. Although they don't know why Cheng Nuo asked, Wang Zhu still replied: "I heard that Mr. Tesla spent more than [-] US dollars to study transatlantic radio transmission. It's a pity. Marconi rushed to complete the experiment ahead of time, investors withdrew their funds, and then it was so deserted.”

Bayuzao also said: "It's a pity. It would be great if so much money could be used to build our airplanes. It's just wasted like this. But it's strange to say that Tesla has come to us. , although I don’t know where it is for the time being, but what I can know is that the tower also fell when he left the United States, and it is quite spiritual.”

Cheng Nuozhe smiled and said, "If I were to tell you that Tesla is a member of our Academy of Sciences and your future dean, how would you react?"

"Not only that, we are going to rebuild a Wardenclyffe Tower in China. Of course, the name does not have to be this, but the $25 has already been allocated to him, and we have money."

"In addition, Dean Tesla also designed a brand new aero engine, which is smaller than your Curtiss engine and has more power. I don't know what will happen when it is replaced?"
