Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 191 The Most Expensive
The signal of the short-haul transport plane is not very good.Shang Luo kept pulling Han Xingzhi's hand over so that the signal would be better.

"Let's go back on the 'Hercules'." He finished typing and sent Zhu Xianxi a flying letter.

He also didn't know what the Hercules was, but according to the request, it was "the most expensive".Titus himself said he highly recommends this for a good rest along the way - and a good bath, of course.

The Hercules departed from Constantinople on time at 12:[-] noon, but it was still too late to get there.Because there is a general aviation airport used by the Roman patriarchs for vacation next to Lake Nemi, they can get there in ten minutes by car.Now they are taking a medium-sized transport plane to Constantinople, and there are still about two hours before departure after arriving, so they are not in a hurry.This kind of military aircraft does not need to line up at Constantinia Airport, and will be released by air traffic control as soon as it enters the airspace.

But what is the Hercules?He asked Titus before, but he said it would be more worthwhile to keep it secret.As for Lu Huaiyang, the middle-aged old man couldn't stay up all night. He fell asleep without closing his eyes all night, and he is still falling asleep in front of him now.

But Zhu Xianxi on the opposite side seemed to know.After more than ten seconds, he wrote back:
"Then you won't be back until Tuesday afternoon. See you later."

"See you later." Shang Luo also typed "see you later".

"How is it? What does Your Excellency Danshou say?" Han Xingzhi still doesn't know who the chief Danshi is, but he knows that Shangluo has been in touch with him.

"He said he wouldn't be there until Tuesday afternoon."

"That's good, I avoided the classes on Monday and Tuesday. But what is it? It opens at noon on Sunday and arrives at noon on Tuesday. There are not so fast ships, but there are not so slow planes either."

"Could it be an airship?" Shang Luo asked.

Han Xingzhi thought for a while: "A compromise between a plane and a ship, maybe it's an airship? No, the airship is not that fast. I know, it's a seaplane."

"Eh???" Lu Liang who was sitting in the front row suddenly sat up, "Ah! I remembered. It's the Hercules seat!"

Shang Luo asked: "Have you seen it?"

"I've seen the ad. That's it! The Hercules that you can bathe in!"

The Pengzi 4 heavy-duty flying boat is berthed in the seaplane berth of Constantinia Airport.This type of heavy-duty seaplane was named after the "Pontianak Express" in the Java War. It was intended to undertake the long-distance high-speed transportation mission from Kinai to Nanyang, and was used to deliver heavy vehicles supported by Kinai.

But the war ended quickly due to the intervention of heaven and man, and the Pontianak Aeronautical Engineering Institute turned this type of military transport aircraft into civilian use.The huge double-decker airframe was found to have great potential for modification, so Lanfang Airlines put it into passenger business under the name of "Hercules", and used it to operate luxury long-distance routes between Rome-Kinai or Rome-Nanyang.

This is a decision Lanfang Airlines made after careful consideration.In the past 4 years in Shaoping, where the aviation industry is "not far from ancient times", the kingdom of aircraft research and development still reverberates with the surge of those crude aircraft of the aviation pioneers.Although the aviation industry has developed rapidly under the leadership of a series of advanced research and development, the construction of airports still lags behind the progress of aircraft design itself.

In this case, the seaplane has become a convenient choice for major airlines.Because seaplanes only need to land in flat waters, there is no need to plan additional large airports.

Hercules 1 in the berth has a terrifying wingspan of 97.82 meters and a terrifying mass of 113 tons. Its wings are so big that a flight engineer can walk directly in it.Obviously, such a behemoth has no way to stop at any conventional airport-mainly the problem of the aircraft itself, because so far there is no landing gear that can withstand the impact of a huge aircraft of more than 100 tons hitting the concrete floor.The Hercules was originally used to recover R&D cost products, so it can only be designed as it is, without making breakthroughs in the landing gear.

When taking off on water, the requirements for the strength of the airframe are much lower than those on the ground, and the aircraft is also easier to make bigger—at least the exaggerated wingspan of 97.82 meters is not seen in land aircraft.

Shangluo stood on the tarmac of the airport, and the Hercules was parked there like a big ship from a distance.She was so big that she couldn't even get close to the shore, so she had to rely on the ferry boat to get on board.

"Ah" Wen Yuan looked into the distance, "So there really is such a big plane, and it actually has two floors!"

"Do you know how much the air ticket costs?" Shang Luo asked.After arriving at the airport, the tickets have been issued to them.The hibiscus flower logo of Lanfang Airlines is printed on the upper left corner of the ticket. The logo is gilded like the edge of the ticket, and the face of the ticket is also a touch of gold.It's expensive just on face value, really expensive, very expensive.And their seats are not configured as first-class or second-class, but marked in red letters from "the first seat in Tianzi" to "the sixth seat in Tianzi".It is not printed out, but handwritten in pavilion style.

"I don't know, it seems very expensive, right? Lu Liang, how expensive? Haven't you seen the advertisement?"

"I think it was .259 taels."

"259 taels?" Wen Yuan calculated in his mouth, "That's 259000 renminbi, 3 renminbi for a bottle of Coke, which can buy [-] to [-] bottles of Coke! Are their hospitality funds so sufficient?"

[Jie Jie Jie. 】Apolonia sneered, 【The oracle is the three highest institutions parallel to the Senate. Let alone other things, there is still money to entertain you students.Although the oracle's funds are not rich enough to burn money, as long as it is valuable, it is not expensive for the oracle. 】

"Let's talk." Shang Luo thought for a while, "Why is this ticket so expensive?"

"I don't know." Lu Liang shook his head, "Perhaps people who can afford air tickets don't care too much about throwing out 259 taels at a time. And haven't you noticed that it runs for a day and a half? Other air tickets arrive in a few hours, You can play here for 259 taels for a day and a half, and the board and lodging for the day and a half are all top-notch, and it also comes with an intercontinental trip. Thinking about it this way, have you earned it?"

"Yeah, yeah, we've all made a lot of money, and the national surname is so bad that we have to take the subway."

"But, you can take a shower on it! There are suites and showers on it!"

"That's okay"

It has to be said that the business of showering in the sky also made him want to try it.If Rome hadn't entertained him once this time, he would never have bought this ticket.It is enough to sleep on a bed of three feet. It is too extravagant to spend so much money in the sky to widen one's own bed.

The Hercules still has a lot of preparations to do in order to take off.There are many traffic boats coming and going at the pier and the shore, transporting luggage and supplies.There is also a special Lanfang aviation refueling ship with the hibiscus flower logo parked beside it to refuel the Hercules.

These preparations will continue for some time, so they have to board the plane within an hour before takeoff.During this time, they first came to the apron.Ninghe is still waiting here.

"Alas~~~" Captain Lin shook his head and sighed, "It's too cruel. I came here to pick you up, but you didn't sit down. It's really sad. I said Lu Qianhu, is this how you treat old friends? Isn't it We have to sell the air tickets, so that you can appreciate the cost-effectiveness of the free flight. If you really want to sell it, it may be more expensive than the Hercules. "
