Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 414 United States Report
Then he drew the wing on the top view, and drew ailerons and flaps, which were very avant-garde at the time, and then pointed to the position of the wing and said: "The plane wing shape of the wing adopts a straight wing. , but the shape of the wingtip, I tend to use a certain radian, and the circular wingtip should also be considered eliminated. Of course, this still requires you to carry out continuous wind tunnel tests and precise calculations. This piece is the flap, the main function It is to increase the lift of the wing. This piece is the aileron, which plays a role in controlling the roll."

Then, Guan Xuqing ignored their terrified eyes, and asked for another piece of paper, and drew several plane and cross-sectional wing shapes.

Particular emphasis is placed on laminar airfoils and the most suitable high-lift airfoils on transport aircraft.At the same time, the working principle of the flap is also drawn, not only that, but also the leading edge flap.He pointed to the various wings on the paper and said: "Look, in addition to the current straight wing, the planar wing should also have a swept wing, a delta wing and a trapezoidal wing. A lot of research has been done on the flat wing. Wings are mainly used for various low-speed transport aircraft, etc., because of their high lift. Swept wings and delta wings are mainly used for high-speed aircraft, and the use of such wings can effectively reduce drag."

Everyone involuntarily gasped.Guan Xuqing continued: "Look at the profile of the airfoil. The laminar flow wing has proved its excellent performance on Air Force 1. It will be the standard airfoil used by high-speed aircraft, especially fighter jets. The high-lift airfoil is more suitable for transport aircraft. No country is currently researching such an aircraft, so you must hurry up, at least in this respect, you must be far ahead of your opponents. Look at the function of the flaps. When the flaps are lowered, you should be very clear about what will happen. Such an effect."

The Wright Brothers on the side suddenly understood.Guan Xuqing continued proudly: "This is just the simplest single-piece wing facing down. We can also design more wing surfaces and place them layer by layer. The lift effect generated by them will be more obvious. Also, on the wing For the leading edge, if the flaps are set, what effect will it have? Under different angles of attack, the leading edge flaps can be lowered at different angles to keep the wing in the best aerodynamic state. What I will tell you today , must be kept strictly confidential." Finally, Guan Xuqing reminded.

All the people present were dumbfounded. They never dreamed that the emperor of the empire would have such a profound understanding of aircraft. In fact, how did they know that this was all learned by Guan Xuqing from military magazines when he was young. They did not expect that this knowledge would be handed out today Useful.Most cutting-edge technologies will have an insurmountable obstacle at a critical moment, but this is also like a layer of window paper. As long as someone pierces through it, the next thing will be much easier.Guan Xuqing pierced through this layer of window paper for the empire's aerospace industry today.However, in the eyes of the Wright brothers, His Majesty the emperor has become a god at this moment!

They fell to their knees and shouted long live.Guan Xuqing waved his hand and said, "I'm just talking on paper. The empire's aerospace industry needs you to realize it step by step. I want you to remember that the aerospace industry is the future of the empire. Please work hard!"

After inspecting several important bases of the empire, Guan Xuqing returned to Beijing and immediately called Wu Tingfang and a group of important officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.As soon as Guan Xuqing came up, he said to Wu Tingfang: "There is a big event, and it's time to do it."

Everyone is unclear, so, you look at me and I look at you, and you can't guess what the emperor's words are referring to.

Guan Xuqing said indifferently: "Wen Jue, what are you talking about most about me and the people of the empire?"

Wu Tingfang immediately understood what the emperor meant, and said respectfully, "Is the emperor referring to the issue of Hong Kong between China and Britain?"

Guan Xuqing nodded and said, "The three-year deadline originally agreed with the British has arrived. I can't wait any longer, and neither can the people of the empire. Do you understand?"

Seeing the emperor's stern expression, Wu Tingfang didn't dare to neglect, and said respectfully: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has notified the UK many times about this matter, hoping to put this matter on the negotiation agenda as soon as possible, but the British people's answers are always ambiguous. resignation, and has been reluctant to agree on the negotiating agenda.”

"Hmph, I have already stated China's position to Crown Prince Edward. Presumably Victoria also knows it. Now it is not a question of whether Hong Kong can be taken back, but when and how Hong Kong will be taken back. Back in my name Send a telegram directly to Victoria, urging them to resolve the Hong Kong issue." Guan Xuqing's tone was extremely firm, beyond doubt.

"Cha. The British seem to want to confuse this matter, so I'm worried that sending this telegram will go nowhere," Wu Tingfang said anxiously.

"This is natural, as if someone else forcibly occupied a house of ours and lived in it for many years. Now we ask him for it, and of course he will not give it back to us easily, but don't forget that the empire provided him with 50 billion yuan. The loan amount has only been paid out at 10 billion yuan, and in the past three years, our industrial and mining enterprises have controlled most of the road, bridge and railway construction projects in the UK. We have the capital to sit down with them and discuss this issue. Now they intend to I avoided this question because we didn’t put enough pressure on it. My patience is limited, and the Hong Kong issue must come to a conclusion this year. Do you understand?”

"I would like to obey the holy order." After receiving the order, Wu Tingfang said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I have to say."

"Go ahead."

"In the past one or two years, I have been in contact with the US foreign affairs department and signed a series of economic assistance agreements. I dare to ask the emperor to pay special attention to this matter."

Guan Xuqing frowned and said: "I know this. The Americans watched the fire from the other side during the World War. Now that he sees that the empire has firmly controlled Europe, he finally can't sit still and wants to come out to get a share. He just wants to make it his front station."

Wu Tingfang said: "However, the United States developed very rapidly after the war. We must guard against such a country."

Guan Xuqing hummed, but did not answer, and fell into deep thought.

After the end of World War I, the U.S. economy grew rapidly, but China took decisive action during and before the war, and through a series of correct and appropriate decisions, seized the opportunity for development, causing the United States to lose most of its opportunities. Surprised, why China's decision-making can be ahead of the United States every time, and the timing of implementation is always so just right. In the eyes of Americans, China is a country full of mystery, and the Chinese emperor is a person who can use magic. People who have become a reality, for such a country and such a leader, apart from being surprised and jealous, they even have the idea of ​​worship.

"Before the First World War, the United States' industrial output was already at the forefront of the world. In the early days of the First World War, China conducted arms transactions with the warring parties as a "neutral" and made a lot of war fortune. In view of this, the Americans could only be in the cracks of China Even so, the arms trade with some small countries participating in the war has achieved rich returns. At the same time, because the United States is far away from the European battlefield, although it participated in the war at a later stage, its direct losses were very small compared with European countries, and it became one of the participating countries in the Eastern Aid Plan. First, it has also become one of the creditor countries after the war. Therefore, after the economic depression in Europe after the war, the U.S. economy has begun to recover. The early accumulation of economic strength has laid the foundation for the prosperity of the U.S. economy. The promotion and application of scientific and technological achievements, emerging The development of industry and the movement to rationalize production are the main driving forces for the rapid development of the US economy after the war." Wu Tingfang reported.

Guan Xuqing knew that after the assassination of US President William McKinley, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt became the first person in American history to succeed the President as a Vice President.After Roosevelt became president, he mainly established resource protection policies in the country, protected forests, minerals, oil and other resources, established the Fair Trade Act, and promoted labor-management reconciliation.Pursuing the Monroe Doctrine abroad, implementing a policy of expansion, building a powerful army, and interfering in American affairs.He emphasized that the United States should protect the interests of big capitalists.He believes that "the business of the United States is the enterprise." Officials do not get involved in matters such as business mergers, portfolios, and stock issuance, abandon plans to control prices and regulate production, and let capitalists do everything.

"Under the guidance of Roosevelt's series of enlightened policies, the economic development of the United States grew at a relatively rapid rate and gradually tended to prosperity, with annual productivity increasing to 4%. During this period, the industrial production of the United States nearly doubled. National Total income increased from US$ 246 billion before the war to US$ 528.1 billion after the war, an increase of about 53%. The average labor productivity of workers increased by about 3.8% per year, and the per capita income increased from US$ 220 to US$ 681. The proportion of the United States in the total industrial output value of the capitalist world has increased from 8 percent before the war to 13.5 percent after the war. At present, the United States has a gold reserve of 10 billion US dollars, accounting for 9 percent of the world's total gold reserves. More than 10, approaching [-] percent."

Guan Xuqing nodded, signaling Wu Tingfang to continue.

"The economic prosperity of the United States is mainly manifested in the rapid development of industrial production. The production of the electrical industry, the steel industry and the construction industry have all experienced high levels, especially their automobile industry. The automobile industry has directly and indirectly provided employment for 500 million people. Opportunities, and contributed to the huge growth of oil, tire manufacturing, road construction and steel industry. The production of steel and pig iron reached 3700 million tons and 2300 million tons respectively, creating the highest level in history. The most important industry after automobiles is electrical appliances Manufacture of machinery and implements and the electric power industry. One of the main causes of economic growth in the United States is the increase in labor productivity stimulated by the technological revolution. The use of new machinery and advances in the management of technology.

In the United States, output per worker per hour in manufacturing rose by 32 percent in the postwar years.The overall industrial productivity increased by 40 percent and that of agriculture by 26 percent.Many industries underwent technological transformation.Assembly line technology is widely used in automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding and munitions and other departments.
