Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 229 Prototype Sirius
The next day, we went to Shendu County, Yiyang.

Two Kuilong horses were running on the muddy mountain path, like flying flames.

Qin Huai, wearing scarlet armor, led the way, followed closely by Xiao Guizi and Wu Shu. They soon saw the majestic Funiu Mountains before the sun set.

This time when he came to Tianrui Division to do business, he kept everything simple, so he only brought Zuo Guoyi, Xiao Gui, who were also well-versed in talisman armor machinery, and Wu Shu, a technical craftsman of the Shenwu Army.

Going deeper and deeper along the cave corridor, the three men and two horses boarded the boat at the underground river pier and began to move towards the darkness.

After a few cups of tea, the boat sailed out of the dark waterway and entered the huge underground space. Qin Huai felt the faint smell of burning in the air, and after a quick sniff, he realized that this was the smell that would accumulate from the long-term and large-scale burning of high-fuel coal.

Looking at the huge super furnace in the distance, the black ripples in Qin Huai's eyes flickered.

[The Great Leap Forward Super Melting Pot]

Builder: Zhan Yuejin

Quality: Special

Category: Foreign matter

characteristic:
【Birth and Death of the Five Elements】: Contains the five elements, and can add corresponding characteristics to different alloys based on the material ratio of smelting metals.

[Taixu Furnace]: This super furnace is growing every moment. Every time it is opened to smelt iron, [Great Leap Forward] will passively absorb the energy of gold and iron, increasing its toughness and endurance limit. This process is irreversible.

Note: The super furnace left by Yingwo Zhenren Zhan Yuejin a hundred years ago almost monopolized two-thirds of the high-end alloy output of the mighty Tang Dynasty.

"Using all the power of the country to raise treasures, this is a great move"

Qin Huai looked at the blue flames that spewed out from time to time, raised his hand to push away the thick steam that filled the pipes in front of him, and took Xiao Gui and the other two through the various departments under the Tianrui Division, and stopped in front of the mysterious and ancient bronze door.

He raised his hand and took out the dragon head talisman made entirely of fine gold, and inserted it into the huge yin-yang fish etched on the mechanical door. With a light press, the huge bronze door cracked open, and a large amount of white steam spilled out.

The incandescent lights in the corridor lit up one after another, and the three of them walked along the corridor as if they were going home, passing several forks and corners, and arrived at the end of the narrow road.

Not far away in the narrow path, there sat a sixty-year-old Zen master wearing a dark monk's robe.

Daming Temple, Jianzhen.

"Master, how come you have time to meditate outside today?"

Qin Huai and the other two looked at Master Jianzhen, whose eyes were closed, and stepped forward to salute him.

"Master Luofu is studying the various armors brought back by the Heavenly Riders and has no time to be on duty. I will take over today."

Hearing the familiar voice, Jianzhen stood up without opening his eyes and led the three people in. His pace seemed slow but was actually fast, and soon he walked several meters in the darkness.

After walking in the darkness for a while, Master Jianzhen reminded them calmly, "Go in, Luofu Zhenren is inside."

Qin Huai nodded, watched Master Jianzhen leave, then pushed open the two-inch thick steel door.

When the three of them came in, Ye Fashan, the white-haired and youthful Luofu Zhenren, was examining a mostly destroyed [Nemia's first-generation power core].

Ye Fashan, the abbot of Jinglong Temple, was the Duke of Yue who was personally conferred by Emperor Xuanzong. He was 134 years old at the time. He was the oldest and most mysterious master in the Tianrui Division, except for Master Zhang Guo.

"Uncle Master, Jingbo is back."

Seeing Qin Huai's greeting, Ye Fashan, with rosy lips and white teeth and a calm expression, smiled slightly and put down the broken core in his hand.

"I heard about your work in the Western Regions. It's very good."

"I don't dare to be called the Fallen Knight."

Qin Huai looked at the black light that was evenly thick and steadily radiating from Ye Fashan's body, but his eyes glanced around.

This workshop was neither big nor small. In addition to a few wooden racks containing high-level alloys, there were all kinds of armor and weapons. But after observing for a while, Qin Huai found that this place was different from the outside. There were no parts processing machines such as grinders or turret milling machines.

"Could it be that this master craftsman only relies on hand rubbing to study machinery?"

Qin Huai looked at the piles of drawings neatly stacked on the workbench, which were half a person's height, and his thoughts were a little distracted.

"I read the secret letter that A Jing sent back years ago. What do you want those junks for?"

Ye Fashan's opinion was exactly the same as Zhang Guo's. He jumped off the chair and walked to Qin Huai's side.

"Years ago, I was inspired by the magic of the gods, and on a whim, I developed a little gadget."

Qin Huai smiled, took the iron box from Xiao Gui, put it on the workbench and opened it.

In the pitch-black iron box, lying quietly was a wooden miniature piston propeller plane.

As early as when he received the worldview information of Ghost Dinghai Ninety-four, Qin Huai realized that the sky of this world might not have been touched by humans yet. The airship he encountered on the battlefield later further confirmed his guess.

Although Messiah and Sheng Tang pointed out the mobile armor technology which can be regarded as black technology, they did not delve too much into aircraft technology. This is why the Papal States was helpless against him who had the ability to fly alone.

"In a war between nations, the strategic significance of aircraft is much greater than that of land forces. They can not only clean up the enemy's territory, but also conduct reconnaissance and are more maneuverable than airships. Where else can you find such a cost-effective war weapon?"

Qin Huai's eyes flashed, and he introduced Ye Fashan the principle of the airplane's take-off and his flying ability disguised as Tianrui's strange magic.

With Qin Huai's 69% physical expertise, it was not difficult for him to build an airplane. Taking into account the cost-effectiveness and stability, the object he finally chose to replicate was the Mosquito bomber, which was known as the "Wooden Miracle" in Tian Jiazi Jiu.

The main body of the British Mosquito bomber is made of wood and glue, and only the engine, landing gear and connecting parts are made of metal. Any furniture factory in Tianjiazijiu can make it. Although it is simple to manufacture, its parameters are quite good. It can carry nearly one ton of bombs and has a speed of 600 kilometers per hour.

Although the twin engines required for the Mosquito bomber are somewhat troublesome, Qin Huai has calculated that by installing three power cores with a single-core output of up to 1000 horsepower, the effect should be similar to that of two 1500-horsepower piston engines.

buzz~
Seeing that the wooden model airplane on the workbench really flew up after Qin Huai fiddled with it, Ye Fashan's face turned strange. After thinking for a while, he pulled Qin Huai out.

"Go to the workshop and build a big one for me to see."

When everyone arrived at the workshop, Qin Huai looked at the complete processing equipment and the craftsmen who were eager to try, and did not refuse. After informing the craftsmen of the required wood board parameters, he picked out a sufficient amount of high-end alloys, intending to copy the [Grayback] double-row cylinder liquid-cooled V-12 engine used in the Mosquito bomber.

"Don't bother. Just give me the blueprint, specify the parameters and the metals to be used, and I'll make this large power core for you."

Ye Fashan spoke in a light tone and stretched out his arm to stop Qin Huai who wanted to rebuild the prototype of the engine from scratch.

"Here."

Although he didn't quite understand what Ye Fashan was trying to do, Qin Huai still spent half an hour drawing the blueprint of a double-row cylinder liquid-cooled V-12 engine.

"The cylinder layout and spark plug position of the steel body, crankcase, four valves, fork-plate piston connecting rod are quite unique, but the efficiency of using a torsionally elastic sleeve shaft to complete the intake supercharging is still too low."

Ye Fashan, who had disassembled many mechanical parts, talked eloquently with the drawings in hand, and his extensive knowledge surprised Qin Huai.

What did Zhan Yuejin teach these Taoists a hundred years ago?
"No wonder you want to find a different way to manufacture airplanes. Although the power core of this design has a good output horsepower, it is indeed difficult to miniaturize it. But since it is not used by Fu Jia, this defect is not important." Ye Fashan's evaluation after reading the drawings was very pertinent. Just when Qin Huai wanted to learn and see how this Luofu Zhenren rubbed the engine by hand.

Suddenly, Ye Fashan's eyes glowed with golden light, and fine scales shaped like dragons and snakes appeared in the corners of his eyes. The temperature around him began to rise sharply, and the invisible field enveloped the high-level alloy on the workbench in the blink of an eye.

The metal melts and gathers into a stream, and a glimpse of feedback emerges in the field of vision at the right time.

[Word Spirit: Heaven and Earth as a Furnace]

Category: Yamabu Secret Treasures

effect:

[Ruyi Furnace]: The caster can smelt metal out of thin air and assemble it into new forms at will in a field centered on himself.

[Samadhi True Fire]: It can be used for large-scale metal smelting. It can purify metal ores in a short period of time and produce giant metal parts without welding or electroplating.

Note 1: For ordinary casters, this word spirit can only smelt a small amount of metal elements in a limited area, but in the hands of experienced casters, it is equivalent to giving the caster a huge furnace with no restrictions.

Note 2: "Heaven and earth are the furnace, nature is the craftsman; yin and yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper."

Note 3: Without a doubt, this is the word spirit that the alchemist has always dreamed of!
The boiling golden water was bound by an invisible force and fitted into the shape drawn on the blueprint. In just a dozen breaths, the huge engine had taken shape.

Looking at the miraculous scene in front of him, Qin Huai suddenly had some enlightenment. He seemed to know where the power core of the prosperous Tang Dynasty's Fujia [Flying Cavalry Guard] came from.

"It's the Seventh Palace after all. Even though he's just a native, his creativity is truly terrifying."

Qin Huai looked at Ye Fashan deeply, and the idea that was originally wavering in his mind suddenly became firmer.

After an unknown amount of time, two freshly-produced double-row cylinder liquid-cooled V-12 engines stood quietly on the workbench.

"Some materials that are not on the drawings have been replaced by alloys with similar properties. Is that okay?"

Qin Huai took a screwdriver and took it apart to check it. After installing the remaining components, he nodded.

"It's okay. With the help of my uncle, the stability of these two power cores is sufficient."

On the other side, the craftsmen cut and dried the boards needed by Qinhuai, and piled them together waiting for Qinhuai to take action.

Well, it’s time to start integrating.

Qin Huai rolled up his sleeves and started to pick and choose. There was no resin synthetic glue for bonding the boards, so he used Tianrui's soaked fish maw glue. There was no press and mold, so he asked Ye Fashan to rub it by hand.
After a long construction period, Qin Huai finally used extraordinary means to polish and paint the boards and assembled them into the wooden fuselage of the Mosquito bomber.

Then he connected the motor to the twin engines. After Qin Huai tinkered with the circuit with a screwdriver, he installed the propeller blades and bomb launcher that Ye Fashan had made by hand.

Taking two steps back and looking at the two streamlined wings and the flat belly, Qin Huai actually saw a kind of beauty that only works of art could have.

“It’s so enjoyable~”

Qin Huai's eyes flickered as he turned his gaze to Ye Fashan who was resting on the side. The exhausted Luofu Zhenren was holding two Yin-Yang fish and resting with his eyes closed.

"General, can this thing really fly?"

Wooden body with oversized power core.

Xiao Gui had never seen such a strange combination.

"It should be possible. Tianrui's energy density is many times that of refined kerosene. Moreover, the thrust-to-weight ratio is the same. If the small one can fly, there is no reason why the big one cannot."

Qin Huai patted Xiao Gui on the shoulder and signaled the workers wearing auxiliary machinery to transport the plane outside the dark city via the elevator.

Looking at the bumpy ridge trail on Fulong Mountain, Qin Huai measured it and found that even if all the potholes were filled, the runway would still not be long enough.

"Fill this area and shovel it, build it up to the same height, and then lay the steel plate on top."

"Here"

Qin Huai thought about it and felt that this epoch-making aircraft should complete its maiden flight in a completely new way.

A few hours later, Qin Huai looked at the simple runway and pulled Ye Fashan into the cabin.

As the fuselage was pushed toward the runway by the workers, Qin Huai felt a little nervous.

It’s not that he was afraid of a plane crash. It’s just that although he designed this thing himself, the difference between a fixed-wing aircraft and a quadcopter is too great, and he has never flown a propeller plane, so he is very unfamiliar with it.

What if the propeller breaks or the wing falls apart due to improper operation?
Qin Huai asked himself, but found that apart from the embarrassment, he had to fly back on his cloud wings, and there seemed to be no other loss.

"Uncle Master, sit tight!"

Qin Huai flipped the switch, released the brake, and pushed the accelerator to full throttle.

Listening to Tianrui's full combustion in its twin engines and the roar like an angry dragon, Qin Huai's eyes flickered with green light, and he used his full strength to [Control the Wind]. The high-speed wind collided with the wings, and the lift gained by the entire fuselage suddenly climbed to a peak!

As the plane continued to accelerate on the runway, Qin Huai pulled the joystick, the main wheels retracted, and the entire fuselage began to climb rapidly.

"It's done!"

The feeling of being pushed back by the overloaded fuselage slowly dissipated, and the Mosquito bomber under Qin Huai successfully took the first step to conquer the sky!
The propeller began to increase power.

The output of up to 3000 horsepower carried the Mosquito bomber towards more open airspace.

"Although I can fly, the feeling is definitely different from flying a plane."

Inside the cockpit of the bomber, Qin Huai gripped the joystick tightly with both hands, as if he had regained the feeling of flying a fixed-wing aircraft when he was young.

Yiyang County, Shendu County, Yanshi County
The bomber roared down, flew over the city wall, and after circling around the capital, it began to turn sideways, stabilize the fuselage, and increase altitude in preparation for the return trip.

The fuselage tilted and shook for a long time before it slowly straightened out under Qin Huai's control.

Ordinary people probably can't control this plane, so it still needs to be optimized.

The prototype bomber did not have a gyroscope or pitot tube, so Qin Huai could only rely on his extraordinary keen perception to judge whether the fuselage was balanced.

"Jingbo, what is this kind of weapon called?"

Hearing Ye Fashan's question behind him, Qin Huai laughed, but for no reason he thought of a line of poetry.

"Look northwest, shoot the wolf in the sky, it's called [Sirius]!"

After forty chapters, I finally came up with the special forces aircraft for Lao Qin.
