The airship's initial takeoff was very smooth. Under the control of two intelligent robots, the huge Yufeng airship easily rose to the ultimate height of five thousand meters, and circled the Feng family's horse farm lightly and quickly. The ground went around a few times.

I don’t know whether it was because of the provocation, or because they really wanted to personally test the feeling of riding an immortal weapon, or whether they had to do this. Cheng Yaojin and Feng Zhengqian did not show any hesitation when faced with the invitation to board the boat. Withdraw.

What shocked the two of them was that if they could not easily see the Feng family's horse farm shrinking outside the porthole, they would not have felt that they had unknowingly arrived in the air, completing the reverie and legend of the ancients flying into the sky. .

Li Anran, who had even gone to space, could not understand the excitement of Cheng Yaojin and Feng Zhengqian at all. After only caring that the two of them would not vomit on the spot due to airsickness, he took Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun to the tourist attraction. In the view cabin.

Unlike other places where there are only portholes, the observation cabin, including the ground, is made of large pieces of tempered glass. If you are not the kind of courageous person, it is easy to get scared standing here.

The only thing that dissatisfied Li Anran was that the weather that night was not good, it was gloomy and pitch black. After reaching high altitude, except for the area covered by the airship's own lighting system, nothing else could be seen. It was such a good view. The cabin was completely in vain.

Fortunately, apart from this point, the Yufeng i-type performs very well in terms of flight speed, flight altitude, stability and safety. However, after thinking about it, this is actually considered a black technology, and its performance It's weird if it's not good.

After a few rounds of repairs, and by the way, I admired the rapid-fire electromagnetic cannon on the airship when it landed, which blasted the startled night birds into pieces to avoid causing harm to the airship, and then the airship landed back to where it took off. within the area.

Li Anran was quite satisfied with this flight. Especially after entering the completely isolated cockpit with its own emergency escape system and confirming that the control system of the Yufeng i-type was simpler than that of the subway, he was even more secretive. Breathed a sigh of relief.

With this test flight experience and Li Anran's previous intention to have an in-depth understanding of the technology and application of airships, it is basically certain that for the Tang Dynasty, airships are the best means of transportation.

Because China's terrain is quite ugly, two-thirds are mountainous and hilly, and half of the remaining area is either dense forest or water network. There are not many decent plains. Therefore, transportation construction rarely makes people cry without tears.

Needless to say, let’s take the railway with the widest coverage in modern time and space as an example. To say whether the railway is good or not, it is indeed good. Regardless of whether it is transporting goods or carrying people. Once a complete line network and operation model are formed, it will indeed be in the field of transportation. Can play a huge role.

But the problem is that this thing is not only expensive but also takes a long time to build. Coupled with terrain restrictions, it cannot be repaired everywhere. What troubles Li Anran the most is that the number of personnel required for the railway network is quite huge.

Not to mention the staff on each train, but also the maintenance, management, logistics and other aspects of each station. Even if the demand for personnel at those small stations is not that large, the number of stations that cannot support the entire land of China is terrifying!

In comparison, although road transportation is relatively less affected by terrain restrictions, it is not much better. In modern time and space, China loves to build roads, but it took more than 70 years to build most of the country's roads.

Roads in towns and villages are repaired.

Not to mention the aircraft, not to mention the cost issues, just vertical take-off and landing, simple control, carrying capacity, and the ability to completely ignore the terrain, etc. are enough to throw out other incomparable aircraft except for the advantage of speed.

Go n streets.

Especially in the southwest region, where the terrain is so complex that it makes people vomit, airships are simply an artifact of transportation. As for safety, Li Anran has never worried about it, because airships are safer than airplanes from every angle.

In fact, after reviewing air crash records collected from modern time and space, Li Anran discovered that even very unsafe hydrogen airships are much safer than airplanes. This point is reflected in the famous crash of the Hindenburg in history.

It can be proved.

In fact, in Li Anran's view, the reason why the Hindenburg fell can be regarded as a miracle of losing all his character. In terms of probability, there is only one "lucky person" in a million.

But even so, when the Hindenburg had an accident, only about 36 of the 97 passengers and crew died. Damn it, you think this death rate is already very high? Come on, it is

Something happened in the sky of a hundred, dear!

What if the plane suddenly took off and exploded at this altitude? Well, even if it didn't catch fire and explode, it just fell from a hundred meters in the air. According to the analysis of Intelligent Brain Cortana, these ninety-seven passengers and flight attendants,

I'm afraid no one will survive.

Not to mention the Yufeng I-type airship, the safety design adopted is far beyond the comparison of airship technology in modern time and space. Take those frightened night birds as an example, in fact, there is no need to bombard them with rapid-fire electromagnetic cannons, they will just hit them.

There will be no problem if you get on it.

Even if the fire-proof, explosion-proof, and bullet-proof airbags are penetrated and the honeycomb-like inner bag is instantly deflated, the airship's built-in electromagnetic pulse engine is enough to allow the cabin to land safely.

Not to mention that the airship is equipped with complete emergency life-saving equipment. If this is not as safe as an airplane, then Li Anran has nothing to say other than despising the unreliable black technology owned by his cheap brother-in-law.

.

In addition, if the airship is only used to transport more cargo and less people, then even if there is a big accident that destroys the character, there is no need to worry about too many lives. Of course, this does not mean that

All other modes of transportation except airships must be abandoned.

In Li Anran's plan, ground transportation construction cannot be abandoned. However, under normal circumstances, when building a road when the basic conditions are very poor, you can usually only start from the starting point and then build it all the way to the destination.

.

If the conditions at the end point are good enough and there are enough manpower, it is possible to start repairs at both ends at the same time and then proceed in opposite directions. As for the middle section, due to problems such as transportation of construction materials, management and placement of personnel, etc., it is difficult to do so at the same time.

start.

This problem is also the reason why the earlier and the more desolate the roads are, the slower they are built. But if there are airships to transport these materials and personnel, the situation will be very different.

.

It is absolutely possible to start construction on multiple sections at the same time. As long as there are sufficient manpower and materials, and the management system is complete enough, the construction progress of a highway can be ten times faster or even higher. If it is still too slow, then start construction at these points again.

Just increase it.

As for the railway, after letting Zhi Nao Cortana calculate the input cost and operation data, Li Anran decided to forget about it. If he had the time and energy to do this, it would be better to toss around the inland river ship.

Meaningful.

After experiencing the alternative feeling of spending the night on the grassland, early the next morning, under the supervision of Li Anran, the Feng Family Racecourse began to classify the previously prepared batches into upper, middle and lower grades according to quality.

The horses drove to the airship.

Although Li Anran was not satisfied with the situation that the Yufeng I-type airship could only carry 20,000 kilograms, based on an average of 300 kilograms per horse, it could only carry about 70 horses.

disappointment.

After all, the Yufeng I-type airship recommended by Intelligent Cortana is mainly used to carry people. Don't look at the fact that it can only carry so much horse, but based on the average weight of 100 kilograms, it can carry a lot of energy at one time.

Pretending to be two hundred people is not a small amount.

Who makes Li Anran be in a hurry this time? Fortunately, the Tengyun I-type cargo airship has been arranged into the construction sequence of the multi-functional exploration spacecraft. For the time being, we will use the Yufeng I-type to make do, and it will not take long for the island to be built.

The gun was replaced with a cannon.

However, the biggest gain for Li Anran from this visit to Fengjia Racecourse was not the large number of horses with good quality, nor the Yufeng I-type airship that successfully passed the test flight in one go.

It’s a sentence from Su Xiaomei:
