"Dear General Helmut Johannes Ludwig von Moch, what you see next will be a weapon that can change history. From the moment it was born, on the battlefield The fight will be free from the **** of the earth. A weapon that can soar in the sky will rule the battlefield and dominate the earth! And the German Empire must not be left behind in this new military revolution."-Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria Your Highness.

When Xiao Maoqi saw this letter, he was a little surprised. Although he had seen each other several times and discussed military issues, there were not many exchanges. After all, the two sides were not in a system. And neither the prince nor the little Mochi disliked the complicated social activities of the nobles. Although Prince Ruprecht didn’t need to get benefits from being in vain and conspiracy, even the famous Tirpitz in history should be beaten. Just beat and never show mercy.

Although Xiao Maoqi cannot be called a nobleman in the sky, he is also a top aristocrat in Prussia by virtue of his reputation. The acquisition of various reputations seems to him even more like an insult, Xiao Maoqi once said. The words: "My uncle Jun Ma won the honorary title of the Black Hawk Knights for a lifetime, and I only obtained it through one exercise. I think this is a blasphemy of glory!"

This time, the prince suddenly wrote a letter with a package weighing 35kg, which surprised Xiao Maoqi, "It seems that there is nothing between us that needs such a heavy package to hold, right?" Xiao Maoqi hesitated, but still The servant opened the package, and there was a sealed box inside. After opening the box, hundreds of photos were placed in different categories!

"This..." The first photo caught Xiao Maoqi's eye. A winged aircraft took off from the ground. The shooting distance should not be far away. Xiao Maoqi could even identify the plane. A machine gun is fixed next to the seat!

"This is a brand-new aircraft that combines the great achievements of industrial technology and aerodynamics. This is the first successful test of an aircraft with a density greater than air! It will have a very important military role." Below the photo, these lines Fine print.

Afterwards, Xiao Maoqi immediately put these photos on the table and flipped through them, and screened the others. He needed to digest everything he saw before his eyes. The new aircraft in this photo showed its great power! Whether it is shooting a ground target with a machine gun, or diving and throwing bombs (well, this angle is a bit too much to modify the word dive.) It makes Xiao Maoqi a little refreshing and even a little amazing! These are simply amazing to him!

What attracted him in particular was the technical data of this new aircraft, but the 440kg empty-weight aircraft could carry a fully armed 80kg person and 50kg weapons and fuel to fly 100km away. This performance is simply amazing! The carrying capacity is not excellent, let alone the airship, a hot air balloon performs better than it, but the key is that the thing itself is light!

Just last year, Earl Zeppelin built the first rigid airship lz-1, which is 129 meters in length and 11.6 meters in diameter. It is composed of a piercing keel, 24 wooden bridge bars and a large number of horizontal and vertical tension lines. At that time, Xiao Maoqi visited this behemoth as a distinguished guest, and his huge body like a cigar left a deep impression on Xiao Maoqi.

This airship has a total of 16 airbags, with a total volume of 22,500 cubic meters, and a maximum lift of 13 tons. In addition to the airbags, it has a weight of 8.7 tons to install pods, power equipment and other accessories. The maximum ceiling is 2500 meters. Almost everyone was shocked by the giant in the sky. The designer of the airship at the time, Earl Zeppelin even smiled to Little Maoqi and said that his airship can be used as a flying heavy artillery with bombs, and he learned that the airship After the details, Xiao Maoqi could only laugh, because he knew this thing was not easy to use!

Leaving aside other things, the expensive cost of this airship determines that it cannot be mass-produced. The production of 22,500 cubic meters of hydrogen for an airship alone is a problem. An airship needs a huge The hydrogen plant is responsible for providing it! Moreover, the airship needs repair and maintenance. This must be carried out on the ground. The open air is definitely not acceptable, so a huge warehouse is needed.

Think about it, a warehouse that can hold an airship... A huge warehouse with a length of about 180 meters and a height of at least 25 meters, and the warehouse must be rotatable. Yes, you read that right, this warehouse must be able to rotate, because the airship is too big and the power is too small, it is too difficult for the airship to enter a warehouse by itself, so the airship must be fixed, and then Let the airship warehouse rotate, and when the gate is aligned with the airship, the airship is moved in again...

Think about it, such a huge airship warehouse still needs to be able to rotate, what a **** thing! Take the giant twin airship garage in Nordholz in history as an example. This huge guy has a length of 200 meters, a height of 30 meters, and a total weight of 4,600 tons~lightnovelpub.net~ It takes one for one revolution. About hours, and the surrounding is very flat, there are no hidden objects! There is no shelter, after all, the airship is so big, if there is something next to it, how can the airship get in?

Of course, the airship still has a very important problem, that is, it is too easy to damage. According to Xiao Maoqi, a single shot of a 37mm gun can turn the airship into a mass of ashes. After all, it is full of hydrogen. And it is impossible for an airship to have armor protection!

Although Earl Zeppelin has repeatedly emphasized the huge bomb load of the airship, and said that the airship can hold hundreds of kilograms of bombs, but little Moqi is still unmoved, because it seems that the load capacity of 8.7 tons is very large, but it must accommodate the crane After the basket, engine compartment, fuel and ballast, there are very few bombs that can be accommodated. Is it too expensive to use such an expensive thing to drop hundreds of kilograms of bombs?

"The deterrent effect is far greater than the actual effect." This is what Xiao Maoqi said about the airship!

But the airplane in front of you is different. How big is this thing? And the airplane can approach the speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour, in fact, this speed is no longer slower than the airship. Although the things reflected in these photos are debatable. Yes, you read that right, Xiao Maoqi has already seen the problems in these photos. Some things are too deliberate, but he did not intend to expose all of this, because in his opinion, it is necessary, he even I want to remind the prince how the cost can be better...
