Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

But Zhang Nuo would not put the air force school here, let alone put the air force base here, because unlike the navy, it must rely on the sea, and it would not be called the navy if it went to land.

But the Air Force is different, where there is no sky, right?

Moreover, in Zhang Nuo's eyes, this force equipped with at least fifty airships in the future is far from being as simple as a strategic rapid strike force. They will be involved in various tasks such as material transportation, personnel deployment, and disaster relief. bear extremely important responsibilities.

Then, in order to grab time, it is inevitable that the troops cannot be deployed to the city of Pyongyang, which is thousands of miles away, but must be placed in the hinterland of the pass.

Only in this way can the imperial court be able to mobilize the power of the air force as soon as possible when there is any urgent matter.

Of course, it's impossible to put it in Chang'an City or Lantian City. Just think about it, how much space does it take to park at least fifty airships?

There are also necessary barracks, warehouses, and even large workshops that can accommodate airships for maintenance. The area occupied by these alone is a bit scary.

Not to mention that when dozens of airships dock in the future, the distance between any two ships must be far apart. This is also for insurance and safety, so the need is even greater.

Moreover, Zhang Nuo, whether it is based on the principle of military secrecy or for security reasons, the entire air force base must be a closed and secret unit.

Perhaps everyone is already familiar with the airship, but there is no need to let others know about how it is built, maintained, and used.

Even if the secrets are leaked in the future, it will be partial at most. As long as the air force base here and the manufacturing base in Incheon do a good job of keeping secrets, there is almost no need to worry about someone being able to expose the core technology.

In fact, to put it bluntly, what is the real core technology of the airship?

Could it be the big black steam engine used as the power source for flight?of course not!

The real core technology is the preparation and storage of hydrogen, which is the key to the ability of airships to fly into the sky, but this thing has no certain foundation, even if it is placed in front of you, you can't understand it.

Even if you know the technology in it, it is impossible to prepare it on a large scale. Without the production conditions, if you produce it rashly, the only result will be a small bomb and a big bomb.

However, even if he knew this was the case, he still had to keep it secret. Not to mention anything else, Zhang Nuo was worried about people outside when he just talked about preventing danger.

The current cost of airships is really expensive. If one is blown up by someone with ulterior motives, not to mention the impact, the light loss will be enough to cause headaches.

Zhang Nuo has carefully calculated that even if all the resources are in place and the manpower is sufficient, it will take more than a year and nearly two years to produce the fifty airships currently needed by Datang.

As far as this is the case of using a large number of manual parts regardless of cost, otherwise, the expenditure will be even greater.

As for the universal popularization of machine tools, this is a bit unrealistic at present, not because of other reasons, but because the current machine tools are actually very simple, and many things cannot actually be manufactured.

There is no way, don’t look at the machine tool, especially the early machine tool is basically a mechanical structure, compared with the electric multi-axis intelligent machine tool of the later generation, it looks like a stupid, clumsy iron fool.

But in fact, it’s like this, and it’s already sold like crazy in Datang. Who doesn’t know that with this thing, coupled with a steam engine, the productivity of the workshop will increase dozens of times as if it’s turned on?

However, it has to be said that such a machine tool, which is as precious as an artifact in the eyes of Datang people, actually still has many flaws.

Say the simplest thing, the knife head!

You must know that the cutter heads, drill bits, etc. on the machine tools of later generations can easily drill and cut various metals, but now, machine tools for processing wood have come out, and they are sold everywhere.

However, the machine tool that can process metal is still in the research institute. The main technical problem is that it is stuck on the problem of metal materials.

This is no longer a problem for one or two families. The Changsun family is actually very concerned about this problem, because once this problem is solved, the consumption and value of minerals will inevitably increase.

This is a life-saving medicine for the eldest grandson's family who are dedicated to being mine bosses.

It's a pity that Zhang Nuo's research institute has such a rich boss like Zhang Nuo, so it doesn't need external capital investment at all. All the investment is arranged by Zhang Nuo, so the eldest grandson's family can't intervene at all.

It's not like they haven't tried to poach people with courage, but everyone refused without hesitation. Only those who have been in the research institute can find out how good it is.

Chapter 744 New Changes in the Tang Dynasty

Sometimes time is really inconspicuous. Zhang Nuo always felt that yesterday he had just returned from Korea with a bunch of kids who graduated from the Naval Academy, but today he told him that the first batch of air force cadets had completed basic military training. , You can go to the airship for training.

Is this Nima a bit too fast?

However, Lao Fang nodded and told him that the fact is that it is the autumn of the third year of Zhenguan, half a year has passed.

After struggling with Lao Fang and his own memory for a long time, Zhang Nuo finally collapsed on his sofa like a puddle of mud.

Mother, why is it that more than half of the year has passed in the blink of an eye, why don't I feel anything.

Li Shimin, who was sitting across from him, was holding a cup of tea and looked at Zhang Nuo with distaste as if looking at a pile of rubbish.

"Stop moaning and moaning there, I really don't understand, how can a person with such a great ability be so tired as you are!"

"Think about it yourself, how much has changed in the Tang Dynasty in the past six months, and how many things you have missed while hiding in Lantian City and Pyongyang City!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words of hating iron for nothing, Zhang Nuo rolled his eyes angrily, but fuck you, it's true that Datang is developing rapidly, but there's no need for us to take up the pole to find a job. , can't we develop at a high speed if we are not in Datang? Isn't this developing very well now?

If we say the biggest change in the Tang Dynasty in the past six months, it is that the railway from Dengzhou to Chang'an has finally opened to traffic.

On the day of opening to traffic, the city of Chang'an was really lively. Since countless civil servants and military generals disagreed with the plan of opening a hole in the city wall to let trains in, the train station was eventually placed in Lantian City.

At that time, Zhang Nuo was almost killed. These idiots really couldn't imagine how much a train station can pull a city.

But since they gave up, Zhang Nuo naturally took over cheerfully. The warehouse area, freight wharf, and passenger transport area are all clearly divided into a train station covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres. built.

On the opening day, nearly 10 people flocked to Lantian City to see the grand occasion. After all, trains are not uncommon in Pyongyang. Many people who have been in Pyongyang have proudly boasted about it when they came back. The magic of trains.

What a train can easily pull away hundreds of thousands of tons of goods, what a train can pull hundreds of thousands of people running day and night non-stop, what trains need to be It took a lot of fine iron, this is still good, at least I know some real news, even if there is some bragging, but what I said is still true.

And some people have seen it at least once or even never seen it at all. If it is rumored, it will be completely irrelevant. The train is actually an artifact that can only be moved by His Highness King Qin. The direction of the railway must be in line with it. Feng Shui, all kinds of strange rumors have come out.

Zhang Nuo had also heard some of it at that time, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he accidentally became the protagonist in a myth that people circulated, but he couldn't say anything.

Only after several decades, when the national quality of the entire Tang Dynasty has been continuously improved, and people have gained more and more knowledge, will people gradually become familiar with all kinds of new things that continue to appear around them.

In fact, it is as if many old people in later generations did not understand what the Internet is, nor did they know anything about computers. This is the limitation brought about by knowledge and experience.
