I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Zhang Nuo was really happy for Xu Bowen and his group. They really used their own hands to create a miracle of this era.

This unnamed airship can be said to be a collection of Datang's most advanced technologies in physics, mechanical dynamics, chemistry and other fields.

Zhang Nuo patted Xu Bowen on the shoulder and said with a smile,

"Old Xu, if you can get this thing out, it proves that you're on the right track, and since you're on the right track, then find a way to keep going!"

"The future development discovery, I think you also understand, how to make it fly faster, carry more weight, make it cheaper to build, and make supplies more convenient, all of these need to be considered by you!"

"In addition, as the governor of Korea and also the person in charge of the Pyongyang City Research Institute, I will put the other rewards aside first, and I will give you the first reward first!"

"This is the world's first airship. I officially named it Bowen as a compliment to you!"

Xu Bowen burst into tears when he heard this, he was really happy!

Chapter 687 Advice to Xu Bowen

The conversation on the airship didn't last long, after all, the small town where Li Jing's troops were stationed was already under their feet.

The airship flies with the power generated by the propeller blades driven by a steam engine. Because of such a steam engine, the cargo warehouse is actually full of coal and water.

For this reason, Xu Bowen had the courage to come here because he was looking for Zhang Nuo. Otherwise, he would not have dared to fly so far directly. You must know that there are really not many places where coal can be replenished.

If the voyage distance is not so far, then he can still use the water and coal on the airship to fly a round trip, but flying from Pyongyang City to the cloud where Zhang Nuo is now is obviously not a round trip. distance.

So, if Xu Bowen hadn't thought about Zhang Nuo's miraculous ability to pull anything out of his pocket, he really wouldn't have dared to fly this way.Otherwise, it would be too painful to lie down when you come.

There is no doubt that the appearance of the airship on Li Jing's side obviously caused panic among the people on the ground, but Li Jing is obviously sensible. When he saw this incomprehensible thing, he guessed that it was probably that person. His Royal Highness King Qin's handwriting, so he hurried to appease the sergeant.

After all, it still seems a bit embarrassing to keep yelling at the bottom.

Zhang Nuo thought that the journey would not take long, but he forgot one thing, that is, Li Shimin can't come here so soon.

So, even though Zhang Nuo has been here for a long time, there are still only Li Jing, the guy he dislikes, and the old people from the investigation team.

Most of the hot air balloon operators in the reconnaissance unit came from the scientific research institute. They are very familiar with the airship. After all, they were all in the scientific research institute when it was first manufactured and tested. stay here.

Therefore, at this time, they were particularly proud to introduce the miraculous equipment of the airship to the sergeants around them. This information is not confidential, after all, the airship is like a conspiracy in the war.

You know all kinds of information about this thing, and you know its function, but you just can’t get it out, what can you do?

You don’t even have the means to resist this thing, the crossbow arrows can’t be shot, the catapult and so on are useless, and other means are useless, except that you can pray for a thunder from the sky to split the airship, take this thing There is no way to fart.

Because of this, Zhang Nuo only kept the craftsmanship secret from the very beginning, but he was almost defenseless about all kinds of information about the airship.

Seeing the commotion below, Zhang Nuo asked Xu Bowen to shut down the steam engine directly. The entire airship was suspended at an altitude of 200 meters without landing, and just stayed there quietly, waiting for Li Shimin's large army to come.

Zhang Nuo was simply too lazy to go down and talk to Li Jing, anyway, he looked uncomfortable, and everyone would be embarrassed to go down now, so why not float in the sky to see the scenery and chat with Xu Bowen, whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

For this, Xu Bowen can be said to agree with both hands and feet. As I said before, because Xu Bowen has a much better understanding of science than ordinary people, he can't find a suitable person to communicate with him.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to have a chat with the only candidate, His Highness King Qin, he was too happy.

As for General Li Jing, it's none of his business, not to mention that he is not a member of the military at all, and has nothing to do with Li Jing's family. So many.

Perhaps this is a common problem of technicians. The more energy invested in science and technology and the more obsessed, the more dull they will be in other aspects.

This seems to be a common problem of all excellent technicians. To put it a little bit further, the kind of people with high EQ and IQ can not only do scientific research well, but also handle interpersonal relationships and various affairs with ease. Maybe the real boss.

The communication between Zhang Nuo and Xu Bowen was very pleasant. For him, chatting with Li Shimin is nonsense between friends. The sky is high and the sea is wide and everything can be talked, but unless Li Shimin pulls him to talk about specific state affairs, otherwise the two of them are just Just bullshit to pass the time.

But in the chat with Xu Bowen, on the one hand, Zhang Nuo was resolving Xu Bowen's confusion. After all, many of Xu Bowen's confusions were actually blocked when he was doing scientific research, or his knowledge limited him. The imagination of scientific research road.

At this time, Zhang Nuo also remembered an article that he read somewhere, which mentioned a very interesting truth, that is, scientific researchers are rigorous, but they desperately need romance.

Because only romantic people can come up with some whimsical ideas and give themselves a light to move forward when the research is in trouble.

However, Xu Bowen is not because he is not romantic enough at this time, but purely because he does not have enough knowledge. After all, in this era of Datang, even though Xu Bowen has seen many things with Zhang Nuo, in fact, compared with life For Zhang Nuo in the era of knowledge explosion in later generations, he is still too ignorant.

Old people often say that we can understand by analogy, but if you don't even have the chance to "inference by analogy", or if you say it is very slim, then how can you "bypass"?

Zhang Nuo is just chatting with Xu Bowen now, using one idea after another to enrich Xu Bowen's mind.

Maybe these things can't solve any substantive problems.But sometimes, an inspiration is more important than the solution of a small problem, because it represents the direction.

Xu Bowen chatted with Zhang Nuo for several hours, and even the meals were snacks that Zhang Nuo brought out at random.

In fact, there is food on the airship, but for the sake of safety, all the food on the airship is cold, such as dry pancakes, fried noodles, and dried sweet potatoes, basically to ensure that people will not die of hunger.

Seeing this, Zhang Nuo was speechless. He hammered Xu Bowen's head, and led him directly to the cabin where the steam engine was located. He pointed to the big thing that was still steaming even when it was shut down, and said,

"Can your brain be used for other purposes? Such a big thing is constantly steaming, so you can't think of using it to heat something to eat? But making something is much more comfortable than eating dry or cold food, right? "

When these words came out, not only Xu Bowen was stunned, but even the staff on the side were stunned, yes, sir, this steam engine just boils water continuously, the steam can drive the machine, so why can’t it be used for steaming What to order, obviously the temperature is very high here, and it seems that steamed buns, buns, etc. are often steamed at home, and even rice is often heated!

Chapter 688 Li Shimin Comes Up Too

Xu Bowen really felt that His Royal Highness King Qin was in charge of this scientific research institute, and who else could come up with so many wonderful ideas besides him.

Don't look at it, it just pointed out a little idea to solve the problem of eating.But in many cases, if you don't investigate this point, you may have to make a lot of messy things, and the final effect may not be good.

Just like cooking and heating meals, it seems to be a small problem, but for the airship that will be put into normal operation in the future, especially the staff on it, it is simply too different.

After all, working on an airship requires concentration, and working for a long time will make people very hungry. If according to Xu Bowen's arrangement, they can only eat something cold, then ordinary people really can't bear it.

But according to Zhang Nuo's approach, it's different. Xu Bowen has already thought about it, and just install a small pressure relief device with a sealed box next to the steam engine.

At that time, this will become a steaming cabinet, which can cook rice, steam vegetables, and even steam buns and steamed buns if you don't mind. It will be a magic weapon for improving the physical strength and state of the airship staff.

And the most important thing is that this small change is not troublesome at all, it can be solved very simply!

Thinking of this, Xu Bowen also looked at Zhang Nuo with reverence. This is the brilliance of His Royal Highness King Qin. You can't help admiring everyone's admiration for seeing skill in inadvertently and seeing magic in ordinary places.

In fact, he knows what a fart. The reason why Zhang Nuo is very familiar with this trick is because when his parents worked in the factory, everyone knew that the boiler room was secretly modified, even when they were on duty in the middle of the night. They can use the small steam cabinets modified by the workers themselves to make some supper or something.

Several times when Zhang Nuo was on duty with his parents when he was a child, he was ordered to go to the boiler room to get meals.

However, it is not possible to install such a steaming cabinet on the airship in a short time. It still needs to be specially modified and customized in the research institute after flying to Pyongyang City. After all, all the things on it are specially designed Customized.

Afterwards, the two chatted in the cabin for a while, and Zhang Nuo also put forward his own thoughts on the future use of the airship.

First of all, Zhang Nuo made a request, that is, to get himself a boat that can run around. Li Shimin would go out with him every three days, and call him to Chang'an from time to time, but he was still in Pyongyang. There's a lot to do.

It would be a pity if he was asked to give up his job in Pyongyang and go back to Lantian City right now.

Therefore, in the past, Zhang Nuo could only drive and ride in a car honestly. Now that he has an airship, not to mention commuting by plane every day, there is absolutely no problem at all when he returns to Lantian City for two days this week.

In addition to Zhang Nuo's own use, in Zhang Nuo's view, the biggest function of the airship was surveying for Datang.

That's right, surveying is something that has to be done in all dynasties, but in the past, everyone can only walk on the ground honestly, recording the customs, mountains and rivers and landforms across the mountains and mountains.

But now, flying in the sky the whole time, the field of vision is wider and clearer, not to mention sleeping in the wind, sun and rain, and the survey speed has also increased a lot, which can be regarded as a survey work. Time has passed.

For the airship as a means of transportation, whether it is the transportation of personnel or goods, it is placed at the most important position. After all, the current airship is not to mention this one, and continuous testing and adjustments have to be carried out. Follow-up Even if it is produced, the output will not be too large.

So with a limited number of airships, how can it be possible to establish a stable transportation line? Instead of counting on this, it is better to count on Datang to build the railway as soon as possible.

After all, even in later generations, with the advancement of technology, air transportation is still the most expensive of all transportation methods.

Zhang Nuo was still enthusiastically chatting with Xu Bowen about some application scenarios of the airship, and at the same time told him that sometimes it is necessary to modify the airship according to these scenarios.

After all, there is always a difference between at least the most basic freight type and passenger type!

One is to focus on the comfort of passengers and the safety of members, and the other is to pay attention to the load and the balance of cargo, etc. The focus is completely different.

How to do a good job in the development between the completely different two, this is what Xu Bowen needs to work hard on.

Anyway, Zhang Nuo thought about it, this one is being tested and tried out. In addition, he has to customize one for himself, which is specially used for his surfing and commuting.

Thinking about it is also a face, mother, when others were still riding horses, he was already riding a car, and now he has evolved to flying to and from get off work, this is the face of the card.

If this were to happen in future generations, it would be impossible, not to mention the consumption of money, just a single route report can toss you to death, but at this moment, Zhang Nuo can fly however he wants, relying on his relationship with Lao Li, He flew directly to the palace and landed, probably that idiot could still be happy.

At this point, the conversation basically came to an end, and the two of them also saw from the window that there was a large army coming towards them with waves of sand and dust.

Now that Lao Li is about to arrive, there is no need for Zhang Nuo to stay on the airship all the time, he doesn't care, but if people like Xu Bowen know that the emperor is down there and don't go to see him, it is estimated that Lao Li will kill them. Have.

When Lao Li saw the airship before, his eyeballs almost turned green. At that time, Zhang Nuo knew that the old boy was also thinking about this thing.

But Zhang Nuo didn't care, at worst, he would take him out for fun, as long as he wasn't afraid of death, he could fly wherever he wanted, even after the battle, he could take Lao Li back to Chang'an in an airship first.

I don't know whether Li Shimin was stimulated by the Turkic news or by the airship. This time, he basically rushed here at the speed of a quick march, and just after he arrived, the people below were still arranging the camp, so he stood outside and watched. The airship in the sky only flows Harazi.

Zhang Nuo also understood the rules, he didn't use Li Shimin's urging, he directly arranged for Xu Bowen to land, but he didn't go down himself, instead he beckoned Li Shimin up.

How can I say that he is a good brother? When he saw Zhang Nuo calling him up, Lao Li was immediately happy, and came over in a hurry. He didn't feel that it was impolite for Zhang Nuo to just beckon him and run over. The place.

And Li Shimin is also worthy of his nickname of "One Hundred Thousand Whys".

Chapter 689 Looking for the Turkic Army

No wonder Li Shimin was so excited, unlike the semi-disabled hot air balloon that obviously couldn't hold a few people and had to be pulled by a car, or could only float away, he knew about this airship, which flew directly from Pyongyang City. In the cloud.

Besides, just by looking at its size, it is clear that this airship is definitely not just for a few people!

Sure enough, after coming in, while listening to Zhang Nuo and Xu Bowen's introduction, while walking around in the airship, Li Shimin instantly looked beautiful.

A good thing, definitely a good thing, with this thing, no matter how high the mountain is, the road will be dangerous, it will fly over and slap you in the face.

Li Shimin's tyrannical war nerves immediately thought of the use of this thing in war.Unfortunately, Zhang Nuo clearly told him that it was still not possible for the time being.

After all, the real load capacity of the airship is actually very limited. Even if it is all used to hold people, there are at most more than 100 people and less than [-] people. This also requires that the armor and weapons carried by everyone should not be too heavy. have to continue to decrease.

According to this calculation, unless dozens of airships take off and arrive at the same time, then one or two hundred people are typically delivering food to others.

However, just being able to patrol the sky to survey the enemy's situation is worth the fare. With this thing, unless the enemy is hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, they will not be able to see it at all.

Otherwise, no matter how you detour or avoid it, there is absolutely nothing to hide from on the airship.

Excited Li Shimin also excitedly pulled Zhang Nuo to fly for a while, but Zhang Nuo couldn't hold him back, so he nodded to Xu Bowen, and repeatedly emphasized that he could only fly for a while, because there were still things to do later.

After all, there is a war going on right now, so what if the grandson has to fly back to Chang'an to see his wife.

Don't think that Zhang Nuo is the only one who has such an idea. Lao Li is not much worse than him in terms of death and all kinds of troubles. After all, ordinary people are not qualified to die. Only Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo have power and authority Only those who have money and ability can make so many moths.

At this moment, Li Shimin's mind was full of coquettish maneuvers. If Zhang Nuo hadn't held back desperately, he really didn't know what he was going to do.

You must know that his identity is different from Zhang Nuo after all. No matter how much Zhang Nuo struggles, in fact, he only needs to be responsible to himself, but Li Shimin can't do it. He is the emperor, and his words and deeds represent Datang. It doesn't sound good, if something happens, Da Tang will have to go to war with other countries.

Li Shimin, who got off the airship, hadn't gotten out of that state of excitement, his whole body was flushed, and he even jumped up and down when he walked, wishing he could start with two springs on his feet.

Zhang Nuo was also speechless, but he didn't say anything. After all, this matter is really understandable. When he took the plane for the first time, he was as excited as anything.

He, who is well-informed, can be so excited. People of Lao Li's age are basically no different from experiencing the feeling of being a fairy.

Li Shimin didn't calm down until he sat in the newly established large tent of the Chinese army and saw the generals one by one.

On the other hand, Li Jing was very direct, asking the key point right away.

"His Royal Highness, may I ask if you can put this new flying artifact into the military investigation, and finally find that this flying artifact seems to be much more convenient to fly than that hot air balloon!"

Zhang Nuo has long been prepared for this. It would be fine if he didn't have the airship. Now that the airship is in his hands, if he doesn't make good use of it, wouldn't it be a waste of Xu Bowen's hard work?

So Zhang Nuo nodded very frankly,

"You're right, my airship is indeed much stronger in flight speed and altitude than hot air balloons!"

"The airship will naturally be used to detect the enemy's situation, but first I have to tell you that since General Li Jing has found the enemy's traces, then the king will naturally arrange for people to check in that direction!"

"If there is a large-scale gathering of enemy troops, then the rest of the work will be left to you!"

All the generals nodded their heads when they heard Zhang Nuo's words. It should have been like this. His Royal Highness Qin Wang had to do the things that couldn't be done to investigate the enemy's situation. His Royal Highness Qin Wang had to come back to do the rest of the work. So what happened to everyone?Wine bag and rice bag?

Zhang Nuo saw that everyone had no objections, and Lao Li didn't say anything else, so he directly started to make arrangements.

It was not the first time for Zhang Nuo to investigate the enemy's situation. He naturally knew that there were two main tasks in investigating the enemy's situation.

Only when the Chinese army can receive the news as soon as possible can the fighter planes be guaranteed not to be delayed.

But for this point, Zhang Nuo also has arrangements, first throw a vehicle-mounted radio with batteries on the airship.

Then, the pickup truck on the ground, which was equipped with a vehicle-mounted high-power radio station, followed directly on the ground and acted as a relay station.

Then set up the antenna and radio station in the camp, the three parties set up the frequency, and the rest is his business.

After asking Li Jing for directions and marking the approximate location on the map at hand, Zhang Nuo turned around and pulled Xu Bowen directly onto the airship.

Cao Xing did not go with Zhang Nuo this time. As the person with the best driving skills in the camp, he was arranged to drive the signal transit car on the ground.

The take-off of the airship is naturally much more troublesome than that of a car, but after all, it flew steadily under the gaze of everyone, adjusted its direction in the air, slowly began to accelerate and flew towards the predetermined direction.

When Cao Xing saw the airship set off, he naturally couldn't just sit idle. He really had to pay attention to the current road conditions, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he accidentally lost it.
