Alchemy Greater China

No matter what you are sure of or not, you have to try any method now, it is better than sitting still and waiting for Zheng to be forced to death by those people!Kalanka thought so, so she also said: "Please use this method, Mr. Earl, we will definitely cooperate with you!"

Speaking of this, Kalanka bent her legs and knelt down towards Long Hao.

"Don't mind, isn't this a shame for me?"

Long Hao quickly helped Kalanka up, and said seriously: "Old Zheng is my good brother, you don't need to say, I will do my best to rescue him! Cough cough, this method can be complicated or simple, I want to ask, does any of you know about airships?"

airship?

As soon as this new term came out, everyone was stunned!

Speaking of airships, it was not the first time it was proposed in 1892. As early as 100, more than 1784 years ago, the French brothers Robert created the first human-powered airship in human history.Of course, the parameters of this airship are very crude, and it can only go up to the sky, and even frightened Brother Robert half to death during the test flight: because the airship rose higher and higher, the airbags were almost squeezed by the high-altitude pressure!

In the next hundred years, the progress of airships was not obvious, because the two major problems of power and lift could not be solved, so airships were like castles in the sky: they looked beautiful, but they couldn't live in them.

Due to the lack of use as a 'propellant', the research on airships has always been unofficial, which has resulted in its slow development and being unknown to the world.

To give an inappropriate example: airships in the late 19th century are like ufos in the 20s. People in high-level society may have heard of them, but ordinary people are completely blind to them.

"Airship?"

Arno asked stupidly: "A ship gliding in the air? Earl, did you use the wrong word? A ship can only float on water!"

Deschamps frowned, knocked his head and thought desperately. He seemed to have seen the word 'airship' before.But for a while, I couldn't remember it.

It was Princess Sissi who spoke first. She frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said, "Airship? Is it a big oval-shaped thing that flies in the sky? I saw it in a document. It seems to be a fresh invention invented by the French." It's a thing that can fly freely in the sky!"

If nothing else.Princess Sissi refers to the "France" airship jointly built by Judge Luard and Kribb in 1884. This airship has initially solved the above two problems and is the first airship that can be manipulated.

"Yes, I remember that too!"

At the reminder of Princess Sissi, Kalanka clapped her hands and shouted: "That airship is called 'France', and most of the construction funds were paid in advance by my father! After the test flight was successful, it was abandoned due to the high cost." Woolen cloth!"

After hearing this, Long Hao couldn't help but click his tongue secretly: The development of the airship is really related to these arms dealers!Fortunately, the technology of airships was not yet mature before Zeppelin (the father of airships), and its military value was not high.Otherwise, if the Ronaldo family continues to invest regardless of returns, maybe the sky over the European continent will be full of airships cruising now?Tsk tsk... maybe the plane will show up ahead of time!

"That's right. The airship I'm referring to is what Miss Kalanka said. If we have an airship that can be dropped from a high altitude and bombed, surely the encirclement will be easily defeated?" Long Hao raised his head, his face full of confidence. smile.

"Ah! Indeed!"

Kalanka vaguely had this idea after recalling what the flying boat was, and Long Hao immediately pointed it out.Can't help screaming in surprise: "High-altitude bombing, yes. In this way, we can avoid the disadvantage of not being superior in numbers, and when the airship appears, those 'bumps' who have never seen the world will definitely scare the hearts of the soldiers The one who broke down and fled in all directions! Zheng, you are saved!"

However, Kalanka was only happy for a while, and immediately thought of the difficulties in reality: "...But. We don't have an airship at hand! This big guy can't be made immediately!"

Kalanka's concerns are correct. The "France" is a huge monster with a length of 51 meters and a maximum diameter of 8.4 meters at the head. It cannot be built either.

And now there is only more than one day left before the end of the trial.Unless the gods came into the world, the airship project is just a dream!

Suddenly hopeful, and suddenly knocked down, Kalanka was disappointed. She even hated the two judges who designed the "French" a little: wouldn't you make the airship smaller?If the cost had come down, my father might have continued to invest in the construction back then, and there might still be one or two airships in stock in Budapest now!

But now, it's too late to say anything.

"I didn't say I wanted a big guy!"

Long Hao's smile has not diminished, and it is still as warm and hopeful as the afternoon sun. He smiled and said: "As long as it can carry a person to the sky, it will be fine. If you have materials and helpers, you should be able to make it in half a day." A small airship!"

"You can build an airship?!"

Not only was Kalanka surprised, but even Princess Sissy looked at Long Hao with wide eyes: "Are you kidding? In half a day, you can build an airship? And carry people to the sky?!"

Among the people around Long Hao, only Kalanka, Princess Sissi, and Deschamps had the concept of airships, so only a few of them knew how difficult and incredible it is to build an airship in half a day , It is no less than God created the world in six days?

And those who don't have a general idea of ​​airships, such as Breeze, Arnold... After Princess Sissy's "show off" explanation, they also understand what Long Hao is going to do: he wants to fly to the sky alone!Oh, too great, too dangerous!

A Nuo looked at Long Hao with a look of admiration, while Breeze's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Master, it's too risky! That airship, can it really carry people to the sky? ... Even if it does, it should I will go up instead of the young master!"

Breeze imagined the scene of himself flying up to the clouds by himself, his heart was both excited and frightened, his calf trembled uncontrollably, but for the safety of the young master, he still stood up and did not flinch.

"You can't do it, only I can!"

Long Hao took time out from the conversation with Kalanka.Turning to Breeze, he said, "Don't worry, young master, you still don't know my abilities? As long as the airship is built, I'm sure I can fly up and land safely!...Kalanka, think again, Budapest is really Is there no place that can provide airship building materials?"

The last sentence was addressed to Kalanka, Long Hao would take half a day to build the airship.Naturally, he would not fight alone and do everything by himself. What he discussed with Karanka just now was: how to find a suitable helper in Budapest.

With Kalanka's vast network of contacts built up over the years of arms sales, Long Hao thinks it should not be difficult to find such a helper!

And whether you can find it or not determines whether the small airship can be "released" smoothly, and also determines the fate of Zheng Gongxiao!This is also the only point that Long Hao is not sure about.

Build an airship in half a day!

Don't look at Long Hao's face of 'sure in the chest', in fact, he is also beating drums with anxiety in his heart!

"My requirements are not high. As long as I have a rough frame and a makeshift engine, I spend money and constantly adjust the construction materials of the airship. It is not difficult to support an hour of air bombing!" Long Hao thought in his heart Say to yourself.

Yes, Long Hao's "wishful thinking" is: find the power unit and airbag, and then he can carry a person to the sky. As for the strength and durability of the airship material, it is not a problem. Jinyuan' correct it!At most, it is just spending more energy.

So this 'Flying' candidate can only be him!

Who made him the only alchemist on earth?

Long Hao is not familiar with the fine structure of the airship, nor is he proficient in various manufacturing techniques, but this is similar to the 'Kongming Lantern'.A thing that can float up after being filled with hydrogen, as long as there is an expert or a small workshop who understands mechanical manufacturing to assist!In Europe with developed productive forces.Long Hao felt that finding such a person or factory should not be difficult.

However, Kalanka's answer just now somewhat disappointed Long Hao: Kalanka does not have a similar factory or workshop in Budapest. In other words, this is not a territory that Kalanka is familiar with. Airship candidate!

"This is a bit difficult. If I rely on me alone including materials, power, assembly, etc., I'm not sure how to make an airship in half a day!" Long Hao said with a headache, rubbing his temples.

Long Hao's embarrassment made Kalanka regret: If it was in Vienna or other cities, what kind of request is this, but why is it Budapest?Before the game starts.The factories here have been confiscated by the family and managed in a unified way. Even if I go there, I can't find anyone who will sincerely help!

It doesn't matter, let's take the Earl of Beihai. At worst, if there is another fight, it will be a foul. You can't just watch Zheng die!

Kalanka gritted her teeth and decided to tell about a processing factory set up by the Ronaldo family in Budapest!

There, there are hundreds of armed men guarding it. Although it is not difficult to capture it with lt, it is not realistic to start construction and manufacture airships immediately.

This is also the way to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"About three kilometers from here, there is a secret factory with all kinds of materials..."

Kalanka pointed out the address of the processing plant, which was on the outskirts of Budapest, surrounded by mountains and rivers, a good place to process and manufacture weapons.

"It's too far away, and you have to fight, I'm afraid it's not suitable!"

After listening to Karanka's introduction, Long Hao rejected the proposal to capture this processing factory: it is the stronghold of the Ronaldo family in Budapest, and it is no problem to capture it, but there will be too much trouble in the future!

Long Hao didn't want to be deprived of the gambling qualification because of 'foul' after working so hard to rescue Zheng Gongxiao.

Besides, making a small airship does not require many materials, so there is no need to take risks to capture the stronghold of the Ronaldo family. The risks and rewards are not directly proportional!

"Is there no smaller workshop?"

Long Hao suppressed Kalanka who was still about to speak up, and looked around: "Arnuo, your Dilong Gang is considered a local snake in Budapest. Isn't there a private workshop nearby that meets my requirements?"

A Nuo finally understood Long Hao's needs now, he beat his head vigorously, worked hard to stir his few brains, and finally stammered after a while: "I...I can't think of it!"

"If you can't figure it out, go out and ask, and tell your subordinates, whoever can provide clues will be rewarded with a thousand pounds!"

Long Hao scolded.Kicked Arnold out.

The Earth Dragon Gang took root in the train station with the densest crowds, so they should be the most well-informed about all kinds of gossip. A Nuo turned out to be a thug, so it's understandable that he didn't know about this aspect, but Long Hao believed that he would be rewarded heavily.The news he wanted was bound to surface soon.

Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, A Nuo ran in with a lean and skinny man who looked like a monkey, and threw the 'monkey' to the ground. A Nuo said loudly: "He knows, he knows There is a private workshop that usually does some mechanical welding work, and all your requirements can be met there!"

"What's your name?"

Long Hao was delighted.Kalanka and the others were also overjoyed, their eyes shining.

"My lord, the younger one's name is Snowden!"

The thin monkey lay on the ground and answered with its head raised.

Knowing that the people in front of him had good backgrounds, Snowden's nimble eyes twitched for a while, and he was more careful in serving them, so as not to easily offend them.

"Take us to that workshop, hurry up!"

Karanka was the first to throw out a thousand pounds, and the colorful banknotes were scattered on the ground, before Snowden could pick them up.A burst of force came, and Kalanka dragged the 'skinny monkey' Snowden out of the room quickly.

It cannot be delayed for another second.At this moment, Kalanka didn't care about Snowden's clean body. She just wanted to find a private workshop quickly, build an airship, and rescue her husband.

Kalanka moved, and Long Hao and the others naturally followed. The poor man was dragged by Kalanka as a cargo and could not resist.The ground was uneven, and Snowden lowered his head again in the gesture of 'picking up money', and immediately his chin and nose hit the ground at the same time. He didn't pick up the money, but he scratched his face with bloodstains.

"Woo, don't... that workshop... no, no one!"

Snowden was dragged about ten meters by Karanka who had a "divine attack".It was only then that he uttered a complete sentence with snot and tears, and suddenly looked back, along the way, there were a few big blood-stained teeth scattered all over the way.

What the hell is going on, I didn't pick up a thousand pounds, I'm disfigured!Kalanka finally stopped the car after hearing the words, but Snowden was about to cry.

"What did you say?"

Kalanka stared, "There is no one in the workshop? How dare you play tricks on me?"

As soon as he lifted his foot, Kalanka's big foot stepped on Snowden's raised face, and with a 'click', several teeth broke again.

"Don't kick him, keep your mouth open and let him talk!"

Long Hao and others rushed over and quickly persuaded Kalanka, who was showing signs of becoming mad.

Among them, A Nuo 'comprehended' Long Hao's meaning the most. His kick was aimed at Snowden's thin face, but when he heard Long Hao's call, he quickly changed direction and landed on Snowden. Deng's hind legs.

With a crisp 'crack' sound, the thin monkey's two legs broke immediately.

Woohoo, my legs, if I knew it, I wouldn't want that thousand pounds!Arno, you are an asshole!The thin monkey Snowden rolled his eyes and almost passed out from the pain.

"Skinny monkey, tell me! What do you mean no one? Here are all distinguished big shots, you bastard can just play tricks on me, it's a capital offense to play tricks on you adults!"

Arnold broke Snowden's legs with one foot, and he was still furious: You are a slicker, if you cause me to be punished by the Earl, I will kick your two balls in the crotch first!

Skinny monkey Snowden was originally an extremely slippery figure of the Dilong Gang, and Arnold had been deceived by him a lot in the past. Now, of course, Arnold thought he was a 'cheesy bitch'.

"Woo, don't, don't hit!"

The veins in Snowden's neck were throbbing with pain, and he opened his mouth hard to answer: "I really didn't lie to you adults... That workshop is empty now, and the owner there was captured by Jean-Claude Van Damme two days ago." Ah! Woooooooo..."

Under the pressure of everyone, the experience of this workshop was quickly sorted out.

This workshop is called "Schneider Repair Shop". The owner is of unknown origin and speaks a strong German accent. He and his son moved to Budapest less than a year ago. He is very low-key and only employs a local guy. As an apprentice, I usually help the neighbors repair various objects for a living.

The owner of this workshop is called 'Schneider'. He is usually quiet and eccentric. Every weekend, he closes the shop and disappears.According to the little apprentice in this workshop, Schneider has a warehouse outside the city, which contains many iron shelves, unnamed machinery, and parts. Every time Schneider 'disappears', he hides there There's something going on in the warehouse.

Compared with his father, Schneider's son is even more withdrawn. Schneider can still see his face to some extent, while his son stays in the room all day and rarely comes out. Even a young apprentice has never seen him The real face: Because every time Schneider's son came out, his face was covered with a veil, which was tightly covered up and down.

If things continue without waves, Schneider and his son, although weird, can still live in Budapest normally, because Schneider's craftsmanship is very good, repairs are fast and good, and the fees are not expensive. His reputation is still good.

But the bad thing was that little apprentice, by chance, he saw the real face of Schneider's son under the veil: Oh my god, 'he' turned out to be a beautiful and beautiful woman!

The little apprentice has never seen such a beautiful person in his whole life, and once he drank too much and chatted with his friends to brag, he leaked this secret.

The 'boy' who never sees anyone in Schneider's repair shop turns out to be a top-notch beauty! (To be continued..)
