mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1115 Digestion and Upgrade

Zhao Chuanxin installed the third teleportation array in Heping College.

Benjamin Goldberg was entrusted with an important task and boldly asked, "Master, since I am the dean of the Peace College, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Zhao Chuanxin installed the teleportation array and handed him two keys: "What does it mean?"

Benjamin Goldberg said as a matter of course: "Teach me some more magic."

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly had an idea.

He had already prepared reaction shoulder straps for Zhao Lingjun, Yao Bing and Benjamin.

But I haven't had time to give it to Benjamin yet, and it's a good thing I haven't given it to him yet.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the anti-force shoulder strap with a serious look on his face: "I don't have any magic spells, but I have prepared a magic weapon for you."

Benjamin Goldberg was delighted.

Wearing the reaction shoulder strap, even a clumsy man like him can easily climb walls and fly over rooftops.

Zhao Chuanxin thought to himself: You little brat, you are being controlled by your master.

When Zhao Chuanxin came to fly in the sky, in addition to these trivial matters, he also had to do research with Benjamin and Nikola Tesla.

But since Benjamin Goldberg was given the key to the teleportation array, Yao Bing and Zhao Lingjun soon came and flew into the sky.

Wherever Zhao Lingjun goes, there will be chaos.

She took the lead and worked hard. Wherever she went, she was surrounded by crowds of people, all of whom were there to watch the fun. She attracted more people than the monkey show under the overpass.

"Dad, you gave Senior Brother the key to the Skyflying Teleportation Array. Can you give me one too?"

"Nothing."

"Then I'll ask my senior brother for it."

"Go ahead."

Zhao Lingjun went to see Benjamin Goldberg, who refused: "Junior sister, you know that I love you, but I am the dean of Peace College and I have a heavy responsibility. I cannot let you do whatever you want."

Zhao Lingjun tried his best to persuade him, but Benjamin remained unmoved.

After Nikola Tesla solved the problem of the motor and control system of the new heavy machine gun, he looked at Zhao Lingjun, who was always busy, and said thoughtfully: "Zhao, you have a way to make people take shortcuts, right?"

Zhao Chuanxin knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he nodded.

Nikola Tesla stuttered, "Zhao, you know, some of my words will be regarded as crazy. But if I tell others about you, they may think you are even crazier. Some pictures will appear in my mind out of thin air, which cannot be explained. I believe you can't explain it either, right?"

Zhao Chuanxin: "I can explain."

"..." Nikola Tesla was speechless: "Can I ask you to take me around?"

Zhao Chuanxin thought that all the necessary designs had been completed.

The rest is time for his handicrafts.

I said, "Let Benjamin take you there. Nowadays, there are many airplanes flying in the world, and I need to upgrade my means of transportation."

Nikola Tesla went to discuss with Benjamin: "Benjamin, your master has agreed. In my opinion, you should take me for a tour regularly every month from now on."

Benjamin Goldberg pointed at Zhao Lingjun and said, "Nicholas, if you want to go to The Hague in the Netherlands, you have to discuss it with my junior sister. I can only take you to Lubin Prefecture and Lugang Town."

Nikola Tesla actually went to find Zhao Lingjun. He did not use his seniority to pressure others, but spoke calmly as an equal: "Juliana, I have to ask you a favor..."

The old friend has been flying in the sky for many years. The farthest place he has been to is Lanzhou Prefecture, and the closest one is Liangzhou City.

Fortunately he could stay.

Zhao Chuanxin also felt a little embarrassed.

Nikola Tesla had no place to spend the money he earned.

He loves gambling and has cultivated a group of gamblers in the flying restaurant.

Flying restaurants are now almost as popular as casinos.

Life is like this. Some people think that a sparrow cannot understand the ambition of a swan, while others think that a swan cannot understand the ambition of a sparrow. Both answers are correct.

Nikola Tesla went to Lubin Prefecture with Benjamin Goldberg, Yao Bing and Zhao Lingjun. The moment he saw the endless grassland, the almost sixty-year-old old man showed the purest smile.

Yao Bing was hospitable and took him to watch a group of snotty kids wrestling from a child's perspective. Zhao Lingjun always came out on top, and Nikola Tesla was delighted to see the wrestling.

Yao Bing took him to see their classroom again.

Li Shutong was playing the piano when he noticed someone was paying attention to him. He tilted his head, stopped playing, stood up and asked, "Yao Bing, Zhao Lingjun, Benjamin, who is this..."

Benjamin Goldberg introduced the two parties.

Although Li Shutong was keen on literature and art, many domestic and foreign newspapers reported on Nikola Tesla. Especially recently, Zhao Chuanxin deliberately promoted his fame and even printed Nikola Tesla's portrait on some electrical appliance packaging.

Li Shutong had heard of this before and was surprised and said, "Ah, I remember now, Mr. Tesla, I saw your image on the radio box, but..."

Nikola Tesla smiled: "It's just that I didn't expect that I would be older, right? Those photos were taken by me in my early years, and now I am old. Mr. Li, I have also heard your music on the radio. You are an amazing artist."

The two praised each other's business, but Zhao Lingjun and Yao Bing were not interested and just stood aside scratching their heads.

Li Shutong was sensitive and noticed that the two naughty children were getting impatient, so he quickly said, "Since Benjamin has invited Mr. Tesla, I will be the host. Let's go to the best restaurant and treat you to Russian food."

Nikola Tesla readily agreed.

Nikola Tesla stayed in Lubinfu for three days. Accompanied by Li Shutong, he rode a camel cart, a tram and a car. When he found the neat asphalt road hidden in the grass, he was as surprised as a child: "It's amazing."

One is an artist and the other is a scientist. If it weren’t for Zhao Chuanxin, perhaps they would never have met each other in their entire lives.

One is sensitive, the other is calm and innocent, but both of them have some wild ideas in their minds, and they unexpectedly became good friends.

This was something Zhao Chuanxin had never expected.

On the fourth day, Benjamin Goldberg took Nikola Tesla to Deer Hill Town.

Nikola Tesla praised the construction of Lugang Town highly: "I never thought that I could see such a modern and large library in China. Here, I can see books in English, German, Spanish and French. There is an academic atmosphere here, which is amazing. Shit, I should have come here earlier."

Benjamin Goldberg spotted Nikola Tesla showing an expression of genuine happiness.

He suddenly had an idea, and while Nikola Tesla was flipping through books in the library, he quietly walked out and called Zhao Chuanxin.

"Master, are you busy?"

The structure of the fourth-generation dragon to be upgraded is becoming more and more complicated. Zhao Chuanxin is busy with this matter with the black puppet craftsmen and puppet slaves.

"What's going on?"

"Master, I think Nicholas needs to meet more outsiders."

Zhao Chuanxin put down the wrench and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Why are you saying this suddenly?"

Benjamin Goldberg said: "I took him to Lubinfu and Lugang Town, and he was very happy. I thought, why not call in the reporters and give him a special interview?"

People cannot live in isolation.

Communication has absolute significance.

This might have inspired Nikola Tesla to be more creative.

All Zhao Chuanxin was worried about was losing this ace scientist.

But it's not a good idea to keep hiding it all the time.

You can't restrict people's freedom, right?

If Nikola Tesla asked to return to the United States at this time, Zhao Chuanxin asked himself, would he let him go?
If you don't let go, what if people don't work hard?

I'm struggling.

Benjamin Goldberg spoke up: "Master, are you worried that he will run away? Don't worry. The three of us are the best combination in the world. His creativity, my imagination, and your hands-on ability. Without Tianfei, many of his ideas will be difficult to realize."

Benjamin Goldberg is right.

The radio invented by Nikola Tesla is fundamentally different from that in Europe and the United States.

Perhaps future communications technology will produce at least one more branch.

Zhao Chuanxin not only has hands-on skills, but he also has many special materials that are not available elsewhere.

Benjamin Goldberg was ready to completely dispel his master's concerns: "He is old and has very few desires. As long as he is happy, he will not go anywhere. Besides, don't we have a teleportation array? If he wants to go to the United States, I think the master will have a way, right?"

Zhao Chuanxin really no longer had any concerns: "Okay. I'll have someone gather reporters for a press conference. Since the domestic radio depends on him, let's do a radio interview."

After Benjamin Goldberg hung up the phone, he suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting in the corner of the library.

That's fucking--Rachel Kervis.

Benjamin Goldberg pushed the door open and walked over there.

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

Rachel Kvis looked up and asked in surprise, "Benjamin? Is your master here?"

"..." Benjamin Goldberg was very dissatisfied: "Why did you ask my master first instead of your son?"

Rachel Kvis blushed slightly and said, "Since your father and I divorced, and I saw that Lugang Town was changing with each passing day, I realized the importance of learning, so I studied to prepare for the adult college entrance examination."

"Are you serious?" Benjamin Goldberg was inevitably a little shocked.

"You mean divorce?"

"No, that was expected a long time ago. I meant to study and go to college."

"Of course I am serious. Could it be that you underestimated your mother?"

"Hehe, I dare not..."

Benjamin Goldberg introduced her to Nikola Tesla.

As they talked, he went to the library shop to buy a bottle of jasmine tea.

Rachel Kvis hurriedly asked: "Mr. Tesla, do you know where Zhao Chuanxin is now?"

"In the lab, he's doing research."

"Oh..." Rachel Kvis' eyes turned: "When will he return to Lugang Town? Or where will he go next?"

Nikola Tesla was confused and said: "I don't know about that."

Zhao Chuanxin came and went without a trace, and no one knew where he would go next. Disappointment crept onto Rachel Kvis's face.

After the divorce, she was free.

Nikola Tesla saw that she was disappointed and immediately took out his mobile phone: "But I can ask him for you."

While talking, he had already dialed the number.

Rachel Kvis panicked and tried to stop him, but Nikola Tesla had already spoken to Zhao Chuanxin: "Zhao, when will you return to Lugang Town? Where are you going next?"

Rachel Kvis thought that the old man was too direct.

"Soon, I will gather reporters in Lugang Town for you and hold a science conference to talk about your research achievements in recent years. By the way, I will also be a guest on the radio station."

Nikola Tesla immediately forgot about Rachel Kervis and asked happily, "When?"

"I'll go after I upgrade my transportation and make new guns."

"I'll go back and help you."

Nikola Tesla hung up the phone in a hurry and went to find Benjamin Goldberg: "Let's go back to the sky."

"Now?"

"Correct."

"..."

……

No one expected that the world's first regular civil airliner route would be opened in Lugang Town.

At Lugang Town Airport, aircraft designers Feng Ru, Zhao Zhongyi, Liu Baogui, Gao Li, Zhang Daquan and other prominent figures all came.

In addition, many reporters took photos and recorded the event.

Everyone wanted Zhao Zhongyi to give a speech on stage.

Zhao Zhongyi smiled and pushed Feng Ru: "You are the father of Chinese aviation, you are the hero, you go up and speak."

According to the original history, Feng Ru unfortunately died during a flight show last year.

But since he was hired by Zhao Zhongyi as the Minister of Aviation, Zhao Zhongyi has not allowed him to participate in either performances or test drives.

Moreover, Lugang Town bought parachutes from abroad and provided insurance for the pilots, and all measures were in place.

Feng Ru pursed her lips and went on stage with some excitement.

He straightened his suit, cleared his throat, and spoke in Cantonese: "When I was 12 years old, I traveled across the ocean with my relatives to San Francisco, USA to make a living. As you all know, Chinese people will suffer discrimination when they go abroad, and I have also experienced this. Later, I studied machine manufacturing, and after I had the basics, I considered manufacturing airplanes so that we Chinese can fly our own airplanes..."

At this time, the leader's speech was full of practical information.

Especially in Lugang Town, Zhao Zhongyi took the lead and set an example, never allowing nonsense.

Zhao Zhongyi kept in mind the warnings given by Zhao Chuanxin.

If you take the first step crookedly, the rest of the steps will become more and more crooked.

So he put all his energy into it and was careful in what he said and did.

So he has gray hair at the temples.

As Feng Ru spoke, the reporters and the others listened with fascination.

Du Lisan said to his guard Liu Ai: "Minister Feng said it very well."

Liu Ai has a pistol on his waist and a Guanshan knife on his back. He looks very cool, but his movements are a bit awkward.

He said: "Mr. Feng is very knowledgeable and I admire him very much."

"Then let's take the plane on its maiden flight later and try it out together."

Liu Ai's expression changed slightly: "I may be very knowledgeable, but I have said it beforehand, I don't want to sit down."

"..."

Du Lisan sneered: "Isn't my wealth much greater than yours? I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid?"

Liu Ai crossed his arms and said, "What does it matter if you are wealthy? Once you die, both the soldiers and the generals will be buried in peace."

Du Lisan turned around and said, "Hey, what are you afraid of? What do you have to lose?"

“Haha.” Liu Ai sneered: “There is only one old item that our Liu family has passed down from generation to generation - stupidity. By my generation, it has been lost. I have nothing to lose, but I just don’t want to sit on it.”

Liu Baogui pushed the two of them aside and said, "Stop arguing and listen to Minister Feng."

After Feng Ru finished speaking, Zhao Zhongyi simply did not go on stage.

He just shouted: "Who wants to take the first flight? This is the world's first civil airline route. The plane departs from Lugang Town, a distance of 80 miles, and arrives at Dongbiandao Airport for refueling and returns! Whoever takes it will be published in the newspaper."

The whole place fell into silence.

No one dared to sit...

Liu Baogui bared his arms and rolled up his sleeves: "What's the big deal! Isn't it just going to heaven? I have to go to heaven to take a look!"

He still feels bad about the time when he wet his pants during the fight against bandits.

So, he tried hard to prove his courage.

Everyone was stunned: "Baogui, are you really going to do it?"

"So you think I'm joking with you?"

The reporter of Lugang Town Journal puffed out his chest and said, "Can our reporters get on the plane? I want to be the first one to take this flight so that my name can go down in history!"

A group of reporters applauded and cheered to show their praise.

What a commendable courage!
Du Lisan stamped his feet and said, "Zhao! You should show off your talents, but others will take the lead! I, Du Lizi, dare to board the plane!"

Having said that, he dragged Liu Ai towards the plane.

"Hey, hey, why are you pulling me..." Liu Ai was panicked.

"You're my fucking bodyguard. I've already gone upstairs, what are you still doing here?"

Liu Ai was not afraid of fighting with a Guanshan sword or a knife. He killed people without blinking an eye. He had experienced several battlefields full of bullets and guns. But when it came to getting on a plane, he got cramps in his calves and was terrified.

"I, Liu Ai, would rather die on the ground..."

"Shut up, you coward, what unlucky words are you saying?"

It is taboo to say words like "capsize" or "sink" when on a boat, and I guess there are also taboos when on a plane.

Liu Ai was forcibly dragged onto the plane, feeling as if she had lost her parents.

Others advised Zhu Jianye to board the plane, but Zhu Jianye shook his head like a rattle.

Feng Ru didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't be afraid, everyone. I, a designer, am also on board. You will feel relieved, right?"

"Don't try to trick me into going up there."

"Absolutely not!"

In the end, not many people went up.

Fortunately, the plane took off and landed successfully.

When the plane returned to Lugang Town, everyone present was shocked.

This is too fast!
……

Zhao Chuanxin’s fourth-generation dragon is strictly speaking also an aerial vehicle.

This time he brought back a lot of living rocks, extracted a large number of living rock organs, and made a rainbow particle jet engine.

Zhao Chuanxin installed the rainbow particle jet engine all over the chassis and tail of the fourth-generation Youlong.

The fuel tank is a square box that can hold 400 kilograms of smelly liquid.

Xingyue used a small amount of sound-absorbing cold iron and soft gold to cast an alloy to thicken the outer cabin wall.

The front and rear wheels are widened and thickened.

The shock absorption system has been upgraded.

The handle is changed to a vertical position.

There are three hand-hook controllers, two of which control the throttle of the rainbow particle jet engine, and one controls the reaction rune fragments and the central control rune fragments.

The operation is more complicated.

The size is also bigger.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that it was necessary to create a daily short-distance transportation tool, such as an electric scooter?
Anyway, we have the weirdo's blue crystal electric energy conversion device, and one gem can last for half a year if used properly.

After the overall upgrade, the fourth-generation Youlong weighs up to 1.4 tons when fully fueled. Fortunately, the two tires only play an auxiliary role.

After the upgrade, Zhao Chuanxin test drove the car in the Badain Jaran Desert many times and made continuous adjustments based on feedback.

This upgrade increased the load significantly, and the Misty Traveler's engine seemed to have reached its limit. Zhao Chuanxin used the Old Sacred Fire to drive it to maximum, and with the rear rainbow particle jet engine at full throttle, the speed only stopped at 1580km/h.

Xingyue suggested: "If you are willing to contribute your cyclone kitchen knife, I can grow you a rainbow particle supercharger to break through the current limit."

Zhao Chuanxin was naturally happy.

After further improvements, the maximum speed of the fourth-generation Youlong increased to 1830km/h.

Now, and for decades to come, no ground transportation can reach this value.

But in the 2900s, there were already fighter jets that could fly at kilometers per hour.

The fourth generation of Youlong runs at full power and circles along the edge of the desert, returning to the starting point in just 25 minutes.

Zhao Chuanxin has conducted more than ten test flights.

The maximum flight speed can only reach 560km/h, which is far lower than the ground speed.

But one thing is that Zhao Chuanxin discovered that the rainbow particle jet engine has no ceiling, and theoretically it can fly into outer space.

In space, there is no air resistance. If we continue to accelerate like this, I wonder if we can reach the speed of light...
