Chapter 653: Burning airship

"Woo" a Qin fighter jet whizzed past. This twin-engine "Eagle" fighter flew quickly past one of Qi's latest hot airships.

The "Tututu" machine gun fired three bursts. The machine gunner at the back aimed at the hot airship of the Qi State Air Force and fired incendiary bullets.

it is a pity. Three rounds of bullets did not stop the hot airship. Qi Guo immediately conducted research after accidentally acquiring an aircraft. The main result is that they have mastered the secret of the propeller. Know the use of airflow as a forward force. But their aerial vehicle is still a spherical hot air balloon.

The airship crew captured subsequently greatly improved Qi's flying skills. That is, they also began to pay attention to the external shape of the airship. It is made into a cigar type. At the same time, cross-wings are installed for easy control.

Although the crew introduced Qin’s use of hydrogen as the filling gas for the airship. However, Qi people still don't know how to make this kind of hydrogen. The crew concealed the fact of electrolysis. People in Qi also don't know what electricity is. They only know that it was mentioned in the newspaper.

But none of these matter. The people of Qi have made great progress on the airship. It's not just shape. There are also propulsion devices. Their airbags began to have stents. The main frame is wooden. The rest of the support is bamboo. This can greatly reduce the effective load of the airship.

In the choice of fuel for the airship. The people of Qi have chosen kerosene, which is easier to burn. However, the air bladder is used to blow in air to accelerate its combustion in order to quickly provide enough hot air to lift off. In this way, Qi State has a hot airship with a longer combat distance.

The appearance of this kind of airship brought great trouble to the Qin Kingdom's heavenly army. All of Qin's aerial "gunboats" were grounded and returned to China. Only the aircraft can fight. But there are only two squadron fighter formations on the front line. There is only one main airport. There are two temporary airports. Fortunately, during this period, the aircraft did not have great requirements for landing at the airport. However, the Qi State Air Force adopted a multi-faceted offensive approach.

I don't know how Qi Guo did it. The number of their airships has increased a lot. If the Qin Army sends a reconnaissance plane to some counties in Qi State to take photos, you will find out how these airships came.

Qi State in order to mass produce this kind of airship. The government organized nearby women to participate in the sealing of airship airbags. In order to speed up the manufacturing speed of airbags. Qi State adopted the division of labor contracting system for the first time. That is, a certain piece of the airbag is specially processed for a group of several women. Separate processing of the airbag in this way greatly speeds up the manufacture of the airbag. Of course, this also has certain standards. This standard allows a certain margin of error. But it can be processed in general. To encourage women to process quickly. Qi Guo pays these women some wages.

And a few women mostly appeared in the form of workshops. Most of their jobs are undertaken by a representative female. Then divide the work to do it. This leads to an employment-to-employment relationship. Although it is composed of several families. And mostly small workshops. But this is, after all, the seeds of capitalism spawned under the conditions of war. Some enterprise management methods of Qin Guoshangwen also indirectly affected Qi.

Except for women. There are men from Qi. Especially carpenters. The construction of the frame is not a simple task. In order to greatly increase the production speed of the airship. Qi State also began to implement a workshop-style processing framework. Thus. The handcraft workshop has great opportunities for development. In particular, the handicraft industry represented by woodworking has developed rapidly.

The Qi State Air Force also made some adjustments. That is to keep some capable flight teams. Pay attention to the importance of talents. The training of Qin's pilots has taught Qi's air force a lot. For example, flight hours calculation. Some technical training courses have also begun to be compiled. In order to accelerate the formation of the air force's battle. They established the Qi State Air Force Flight School. This is Qi's own flying school. The future pilots of the Qi State Air Force will all go to the battlefield from here.

Weapon innovation. Qi Guo still did not master the technology of trigger fuze. Qin Guo strictly sealed this. Although the State of Qin has reached the point of double-base charge. But still afraid that the opponent will get the technology they knew before. In particular, Huo Luo has technically blocked it. As a result, Qi has great resistance in weapon innovation. However, Qi craftsmen invented the fuze bomb based on the principle of the flintlock gun.

The bomb uses a well-sealed wooden barrel or a clay pot. Then adjust according to the position of the center of gravity. The adjusted position is to be able to drop head down suddenly when dropped from a high altitude. This means that the front charge is very large. Use a bamboo pole as an ignition fuze at the charge position.

An iron pipe is inserted into the front of the ignition fuze. Place an iron sand ring where the bamboo pole is inserted into the gunpowder. The gunpowder charge part is also specially processed. That is from relatively sparse to compact installation. In this way, there is a certain space reserved for oxygen to ignite the explosive powder. This is the early aviation bomb of the Qi State Air Force.

The Qin Heavenly Army could not control the air supremacy on the entire front. Although they are effortless to blow up such an airship. But it couldn't stop the incredible airship strikes.

With hot airships, the guerrillas secretly provide more accurate battlefield intelligence. And the use of flintlock aerial bombs. In particular, the clay pots exploded by aerial bombs caused shocking damage. It is equivalent to a grenade attack. The Qi State Air Force, which has repeatedly bombed successfully, began to gradually take the initiative in the air. Qin's air force pilots complained a lot. Their flight time is increasing. The time for rest is getting less and less. Many pilots are exhausted. However, the Yanjun positions were frequently attacked. The Qin Army could only dispatch planes to patrol in vain.

They can only try their luck to catch the other's hot airship and attack. But sometimes it is difficult to shoot down an airship with a bullet. The reason is that their bullets have strong penetrating power. But this is even a hundred bullets for the hot airship. That means at most one hundred small holes. The airship can still rely on a certain amount of heat to provide safe lift. The pilot of Qin Guo, who got it for a while, hurriedly threw away the toolbox on the plane. Some flying shooters were even more angrily lighting up a shrapnel and then throwing the shrapnel at the opponent. The reason is that the airship is still floating in the sky after so many guns.

Not only Qin Jun was discouraged. Even Yan Jun looked annoyed. This big fat guy is too hard to fight.

"Tututu" was another burst of three machine guns. Three bullets accurately focused on the huge airship airbag. The airbag of the airship started to burn after hitting it. Saw the airship on fire. The machine gunner seized the favorable opportunity to pull the trigger.

"Suddenly" another series of continuous shooting. The bullet ignited a fire after it hit. The airship burned quickly.
