2500: C2500 Airship

C2500 Airship

Qin Guan's life in the country had once again returned to normal.2

Although the situation in Coconut Jujube Country was getting more and more tense, in the country, at most, it was just a few words in the news. It was just a topic that people talked about after meals. All of this was because of one thing, and that was... The power and stability of the motherland!

War was the most terrifying thing. When a country entered war, it would inevitably be accompanied by turmoil and pain. The people in war were the most tragic. If there was no war, then the motherland must be strong!

When Qin Guan thought of this, his heart was overwhelmed with emotions. My motherland will be strong to the point that it is impossible to even touch it. And I am the guardian of this powerful motherland, the catalyst of high-tech technology!

"President Qin, what we are going to go today is an ordinary equipment developed by an ordinary low-level company. You don't need to trouble yourself to go there personally, right?" In Qin Guan's column, the Elementary Scholar asked Qin Guan.

It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but after Qin Guan heard about it, he couldn't wait to come. This caused the Elementary Scholar to have doubts. President Qin, you don't have any other intentions, do you?

"That's right. It's now the era of high technology. However... Some very ordinary equipment can also be used in the field of high technology... Take this airship for example, although it had a few hundred years of history, even now, it's still valuable."

That's right. The project that Qin Guan was going to visit was the first flight of the airship. The Elementary Scholars could not understand this. What was so good about that kind of thing? It was there hundreds of years ago.

Before inventing the airplane, humans could also fly in the sky. The earliest was using hot air balloons, but hot air balloons couldn't control the direction. They could only rely on the wind in the sky to float with the wind. After that, there was a fish-like airbag that relied on people to row and move forward. Later, the paddles were changed to propellers, and the airship had its current basic structure.

Airships were once very popular, and they were a tool for people to travel. The huge Zeppelin brought the airship to its climax. Later on, they even started intercontinental travel. Unfortunately, good times did not last long, and the hydrogen inside was easily combusted. After a few accidents, it fell into a low tide.

Now, the airship could be considered a kind of equipment that was marginalized. That was why the Elementary Scholar didn't understand. Where did President Qin's interest come from?

"Compared to planes, airships do not need power to produce lift. That's why it stays in the sky for a long time. This is the greatest value of an airship." Qin Guan said to the scholar, "Don't think that this big guy seems to be lagging behind. But in some aspects, instead, it is the most suitable low-cost equipment. Let me give you an example. Our mobile communications are very extensive now. If a natural disaster happens in a certain place, the mobile communications will be cut off. At this time, we can send a airship over. The airship will carry a communication transmitter, and it will be able to quickly restore the area's mobile communications. It will allow the victims to communicate with their families to tell them that they're safe, and it will also be useful for the disaster relief at the scene. "

Low-cost equipment has a unique advantage over low-cost equipment. Airships are still useful in modern society. Other than allowing people to ride in the scenic area, in other areas, for example, traffic commands, television broadcasts, aerial patrols and remote detection could also be expanded to the military. For example, anti-stealth reconnaissance, aerial command and so on were all useful.

The first large-scale airships were all hard shell structures. However, it was not convenient to keep those big things, so modern airships... They were all soft. After releasing the gas, they could be directly stored in the cabins below. Using a tow truck to drag them away, they were more flexible.

"If necessary, we can even put the millstone on top. It will be used as an alarm airship." Qin Guan said, "You, don't underestimate the airship, if you don't want to see it. You can have a vacation. You and the Lu can take a look around. It's been a long time since you've had a two-person world. "

The scholar quickly shook his head. "President Qin, you still don't understand what I mean. When we arrive at the scene, you have to promise me that you can't board the airship."

Nothing else mattered. The scholar was most worried that Qin Guan would not be able to resist his curiosity and want to go up and take a look. Such a thing absolutely could not happen.

If it was in the sky, it would be terrible! The Elementary Scholars couldn't bear this responsibility.

"Elementary Scholar, we've known each other for so long. Do you think I'm this kind of person?" Qin Guan asked. Where is the trust between people? Will I be willful and make things difficult for you?

Looking at Qin Guan's doubtful eyes, the scholar nodded seriously. That's right. President Qin, you are really such a person. You have to promise me that you will not go up when the time comes!

After the swaying train ran for a day, the next morning, they arrived at the test flight location of the airship. Qin Guan saw the excited expressions of the technical staff. Right now, North Industrial Company was a famous company in the country. Many university students had graduated. They were all looking forward to working in such a company. As for President Qin... Such a big boss was able to come and see their airship. To them, this was a great encouragement.

"President Qin, this is the first helium-carrying soft airship that we designed ourselves. We call it CA-80, which uses the latest international technology, new equipment, new materials, and new technology. Also, we designed it ourselves, and we own all of our intellectual property rights. " The designer of the airship said to Qin Guan.

Qin Guan nodded. "That's right. Nowadays, we all pay attention to original works. It would be best if everyone could calm down and do research. Now, what are we waiting for?"

"President Qin, we are waiting for the helium." The designer said, "When the helium is delivered to us, we can start the test flight."

Anything that wanted to fly had to overcome the gravity. The theory of anti-gravity was nonsense, in the air, it could be overcome by the lift, which was the principle of aircraft. One could also rely on buoyancy to overcome it. This was the airship.

The buoyancy was determined by the ancient Archimedes principle, the size of the buoyancy. It was the same as the gravity of the surrounding air. So... In order to make the buoyancy overcome the gravity, one had to fill the airship with a lighter gas.

Heat air was a type of air. In the past, hydrogen was the most commonly used. This thing was very light, so it was not difficult to extract it, even now. A child's toy balloon, the kind that could fly into the sky the moment it was released. It was filled with hydrogen.

Although hydrogen is very convenient, there is a disadvantage, which is that it is easy to burn. And it was the most efficient fuel. Just look at the liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen engine inside the rocket and you'll know. So, many of the previous accidents were caused by hydrogen. The modern airship no longer used the gas of hydrogen. Instead, it's another type of helium.
