Magic Underachiever

With the continuous development of natural science and technology, there are also ideas for fixed-wing aircraft in this world, but no one has yet been able to build it.

Speaker Peters can understand the principles of aircraft and also knows that fixed-wing aircraft are easier to operate than silver wings and do not require too high a pilot. He just didn't expect that Black Fire Company would develop a technologically mature and safe... aircraft in such a short period of time.

If the Parliament can use aircraft to form a large-scale air force, it can well make up for the disadvantages in the number and weapons of the Parliament's troops.

"I want to know the various values ​​of Blackfire's production aircraft. It would be better if I could see the real thing or experience it myself."

Speaker Peters was in no rush to place the order. Although he can understand that an airplane is an aircraft that uses airflow to generate lift, he still has no clear idea of ​​what an airplane looks like. How's its load capacity? How is the speed? How high is the battery life? all determine its value to Parliament.

Da Liang replied: "There is a prototype at the Pier Magic Academy. According to our preliminary tests, this test aircraft, which I named 'Brigade Bird', has a top speed of 560 kilometers per hour and an economic cruising speed of 350 kilometers per hour. km/h.

The maximum flight altitude is 4,600 meters, and the cruising range at economic speed is 1,390 kilometers.

The empty load is 5.47 tons, and the fully loaded take-off weight is 6.54 tons.

I have registered Blackfire Airlines in Saroyan and assigned my aircraft designer the task of researching new aircraft models.

Soon, three models were developed based on the "Brigade Bird" test opportunity.

The Brigade fighter's duty is to fight for air supremacy. It is faster and more flexible. It can attack airships and threaten the Silver Wing with its onboard machine guns.

The Bird transport aircraft is responsible for transporting people and cargo. It pursues stability and greater transportation capacity, flying between two places at a faster speed than an airship. Blackfire Airlines will use Bird transport aircraft to lay out civil aviation routes in Marcellus. Of course, if the transport aircraft is modified, it should be able to carry four to six tons of bombs, and it will become a heavy bomber.

The third type is the Brigade dive bomber, which is responsible for carrying out precise fixed-point bombing of important enemy targets and investigating its penetration capabilities and dive and climb performance.

As for whether there will be other models in the future... we will design another one according to the needs of the battlefield after receiving feedback from users.

If the Speaker wants to take a test flight on the Passenger Bird test aircraft, I can immediately arrange for someone to take you to the aircraft testing ground at the Pier Magic Academy. "

Although the Passenger Bird test machine has not yet been seen, the data given by Daliang has already made Speaker Peters unable to sit still.

The speed and ceiling can already threaten the Silver Wing. Of course, it is only a theoretical threat. The people who fly the Silver Wings are all mid-level and high-level magicians. Their magical offensive and defensive capabilities and maneuverability allow the Silver Wings to still maintain an absolute advantage over the aircraft.

But the aircraft's load-carrying capacity is absolutely unmatched by the Silver Wing. One heavy bomber can carry four to six tons of bombs, and ten means forty to sixty tons. Speaker Peters has already imagined a formation of heavy bombers flying over the imperial army to drop bombs.

That is definitely more useful than dozens of heavy cannons.

A brand new war mode is about to start from your own hands.

Speaker Peters couldn't wait to ask: "When can Blackfire Airlines mass-produce fighter jets, heavy bombers and dive bombers, and at what price do they plan to sell them?"

The business was basically done. Daliang said: "With the Brigade Bird test aircraft, it will be relatively simple to study the other three aircraft. But if I want to mass-produce aircraft, I need to build an aircraft manufacturing factory."

Like the turtle-class multi-functional combat platform, the aircraft body is not complex in structure and can be built with ordinary wood and iron skins as long as the principles are mastered. The real key technology lies in the engine.

Therefore, I don’t have many requirements for the location of the aircraft manufacturing factory. As long as the transportation is convenient and the raw materials can enter the factory, it is best to be close to my steel factory. In this way, steel from steel mills can be used directly to make engines and aircraft. "

Regarding the choice of Blackfire aircraft manufacturing factory, Speaker Peters made different suggestions: "I think Master Liang, your aircraft manufacturing factory is best built overseas. I can come forward to buy a factory site for you. Because if the war comes, it will be necessary." During the war, your aircraft manufacturing plant may become a target for some people.”

Peters knew that when the Parliamentary Army flew planes and bombed the Imperial Army indiscriminately, the Imperial Army would definitely find ways to prevent the Parliamentary Army from continuing to obtain aircraft. If the Black Fire Company's aircraft manufacturing plant is built in Saroyan, and the Congress cannot occupy Saroyan immediately, their supply of aircraft will be cut off.

Then the Empire will have this air strike weapon all to itself.

And Daliang will never move away. He wants to make Saroyan the gateway to the great tomb.

He said to Speaker Peters: "I heard from the Speaker that you want to exclusively possess the aircraft produced by Blackfire Company. You seem to have forgotten my position again...

I am a businessman and have no interest in the politics you play.

The Blackfire Company's aircraft will not be exclusively supplied to anyone, just like the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform. Although the Fromink Imperial Navy purchased the Turtle-class, I can still sell such a warship to anyone who wants it. people.

It's just that at the beginning of limited production capacity, the Turtle-class aircraft will give priority to completing the orders of the Flemish Empire Navy, and the Bird-class aircraft will give priority to supplying the orders of the Marcellus Council.

As for the safety of the Blackfire Company's factory.

Speaker Peters, I formally submitted an application to the Marcellus Council: the Blackfire Company Industrial Park centered on the Saroyan First Steel Plant and all member colleges of the College Alliance centered on the Pier Magic Academy will be designated as a demilitarized zone.

The Blackfire Company and the College Alliance will remain neutral, and the Council shall not allow military units to enter my demilitarized zone for any reason or in any way, not even a bullet. "

Da Liang's words calmed down Speaker Peters, who was in a state of fantasy about airplanes.

The demilitarized zone is not as simple as Daliang said.

The form of a regime's ownership of a place is military presence. If your army cannot enter a place, it means that the place is not yours. The Black Fire Company wants to divide a demilitarized zone in Saroyan, which means that the parliament admits that it has no sovereignty over this land.

Speaker Peters said very cautiously, even vigilantly: "Master Liang... The establishment of a demilitarized zone is not decided by the parliament. Marcellus is still a province of Vlomink, and the parliament has no power to make such an important decision on behalf of the emperor..."
