Volume 40 Chapter 44

The land knight who followed Bai Suxian to the Candle Dragon Territory last year had already left the Candle Dragon Territory when Bai Suxian and Zhang Tie returned to Youzhou this time, and returned to southern Xinjiang, but those people brought by Bai Suxian stayed in the Candle Dragon Territory Some of them are on Jixian Peak, becoming Bai Suxian's people, waiting for Bai Suxian's orders, and some of them are in the hills and basins at the foot of Xuantian Eighteen Peaks, establishing manors and various workshops one by one. And the farm formed the first spontaneous market town within the Iron Dragon Sect. Among those people, there were a large number of skilled craftsmen, and these people also became the first group of people who attached themselves to the Iron Dragon Sect.

In any sect of Taixia, in addition to the roles of master, apprentice, and elder, there are also a large number of producers and service providers attached to this sect, such as Taiyi Xuanmen and Tianjimen. , There is almost nothing that they cannot produce, and there is no field that they have not involved in. Taixia's sect is a super armed interest group organized with economic interests, secret law inheritance, and even blood relationships. The suzerain and sect master of the sect is the head of this super armed interest group.

Such a group has a strong vitality in the land of Taixia, and it has survived for thousands of years. In the technological age before the catastrophe, due to various reasons, the existence and role of sects have been in a downturn for a while. But it still didn't feel the fire, and after the cataclysm, Taixia's sect organization ushered in a vigorous development again.

The area where the Tielongzong Xuantian Eighteen Peaks is located has a radius of tens of thousands of square kilometers. In addition to the Xuantian Eighteen Peaks, there are also large basins, hills and slopes at the foot of the mountain. The water source is also abundant. Zhang Tie's goal, Relying on the Eighteen Peaks of Xuantian, in this area, a unique first-class city in the territory of Zhulong, and even in the entire territory of the Northeast Governor's Mansion, was established.

Such a goal is not a one-day achievement. To build a first-class city and make this first-class city work, besides money, the most important thing is population resources, as well as the attraction of this first-class city. Zhang Tie is not in a hurry, anyway, now that the mountain gate of the Iron Dragon Sect's Xuantianzhu Peak has been built, the Iron Dragon Sect finally has a place and a face, and the next things will be done step by step. More and more prosperous, such a goal can be realized naturally.

After getting off the flying boat, Zhang Tie took Bai Suxian, Bai Zhengnan, Master Pengshan, Tang De and others to a warehouse not far from where the flying boat landed after just talking to Lu Yishan a few words.

Zhang Tie knew what everyone wanted to see when they came here, so he didn't waste time to whet everyone's appetite. There are some things that you can see without waiting until tomorrow.

Along the way, Lu Zhongming and his wife were obviously very interested in the fact that Bai Suxian and Master Pengshan could each lead a mountain in the Iron Dragon School, and asked Bai Suxian and Master Pengshan about the situation in the Iron Dragon School.

"Actually, his status as suzerain is relative to those disciples of the Iron Dragon School. In the Iron Dragon School, you have also seen that no matter whether he treats Master Pengshan or me, he is the same as when he was in Diyuan. Everyone in the world is in the same situation when they form a team, and they are all treated as friends, but this time the captain of the team has become him. We have already agreed that within the Iron Dragon Sect, as long as everyone does not violate the sect's laws, He, the suzerain, will not interfere in the internal affairs of the peaks on weekdays, so if you want to accept apprentices, you can accept apprentices, and those who don't accept apprentices can live in seclusion on the peak to practice!"

Hearing Bai Suxian tell the situation of Iron Dragon Sect calmly, Lu Zhongming and Lin Huanxi glanced at each other, and neither of them spoke.

In just a short while, Zhang Tie led a group of people to a closed warehouse, which was built with steel structures.

The outside of the warehouse is a piece of blue corrugated steel tiles, which looks very solid. The door of the warehouse is tightly closed. Opposite the door is an empty airship take-off and landing field.

"There is something here, it can't be an airship, but if it is an airship, this warehouse seems to be shorter!" Standing in front of the warehouse door, Tang De looked up at the height of the warehouse door, and said a little strangely.

Another individual also looked at Zhang Tie with doubts.

Zhang Tie smiled at everyone, "You will know soon!"

For Zhang Tie, even though he was separated by a gate, he could clearly see the things piled up in the warehouse at this moment.

The contents inside were transported here by Zhang Tie in an airship on February 3, the day after he completed the Land Knight's Wheel Ceremony. Except for Zhang Tie, even Daoist Pengshan and his disciples didn't have any information. seen this thing.

While talking, Zhang Tie clapped his hands, and the door of the entire warehouse was opened. Zhang Tie entered the warehouse first, and the others followed Zhang Tie in with great curiosity.

A fistful of crystal lens fluorite lamps are arranged in the warehouse. These fluorite lamps illuminate the entire warehouse brightly, like daytime. In the warehouse, there are three strange things with a layer of overalls parked. big

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhang Tie walked over directly, grabbed the smock with his hands, and lifted the smock with a bang, revealing the true contents of the smock.

A silver-white aluminum alloy shiny, with a pair of wings, more than 4 meters high, more than 9 meters long, and a strange aircraft with a wingspan of more than 11 meters appeared in front of everyone.

Under the illumination of the lights in the warehouse, the entire aircraft is dazzling like an artifact with a strange halo.

Except for Zhang Tie, everyone, including Feng Cangwu and Zhang Tie's disciples, more than a hundred people were stunned.

"This is a glider... Ah, no... The glider is too big, and there is no propeller in the front of the glider... Could it be an antique collected by you, but... why... why is it so new!" Bai Suxian, her elder brother, was the first After all, airships and gliders are not too unfamiliar to most people in this era. Anyone who has access to airship troops can have access to them. For those who understand the history and technology of the human race before the cataclysm, , it can be seen at first glance that this is a propeller plane similar to that before the cataclysm.

There are no propeller planes in this era, because with the depletion of petrochemical energy before the catastrophe, in this era, only airships and coal-fired aircraft are steam-powered aircraft, although there have been people who have been immortal for hundreds of years I really want to invent it, but this is destined to be a distant dream. The steam engine's efficiency, weight, volume, and the coal it carries are an eternal unsolvable problem. Such an airplane would not be able to fly even if the entire weight of the airplane was counted as air except for the weight of the steam engine and the coal it carried.

Someone once asserted that in this era, it is impossible for anyone to come up with an airplane.

And almost everyone believes that in this era, there are only three types of aircraft that humans can manufacture, gliders, airships, and airships. Strictly speaking, gliders cannot be regarded as operational aircraft.

But what appeared in front of everyone was indeed a real plane.

The plane in front of it uses a double-cockpit structure, and behind the drop-shaped cockpit, there is a steam crossbow that can flexibly change its direction.

Everyone was looking at the plane, and no one even noticed that in a corner of the warehouse, there were more than a dozen thick green tin barrels that were more than one meter high.

While everyone was still wondering what Zhang Tie was doing with an airplane frame here, Zhang Tie had already seen the inside and outside of the plane "transparently" - Zhang Tie himself was the best, experienced The most prolific glider pilot is familiar with the flight principles and operating skills of the aircraft. In addition, he designed the dual-drive engine. He also knows the working principle of the dual-drive engine better than anyone else. With such a foundation, Zhang Tie Then with the eye of Lianhua, he instantly understood every detail of the interior of the plane in front of him, and the function of every control lever and button in the cockpit of the plane.

He just took a look at the plane and already mastered the piloting skills of the plane.

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhang Tie nimbly jumped onto the wing of the plane, slid open the hatch of the cockpit, leaned in half of his body, pulled up the fuel supply button of the plane, and jumped again. Get down, run to the nose of the plane, grab the propeller of the plane with one hand, and turn it clockwise...

The dual-drive engine uses a mechanical stroke start of the engine. During the start-up process, the engine must be turned by an external force before the engine can start.

Zhang Tie didn't dare to use too much force on Zhang Tie's first push. With Zhang Tie's strength today, he was afraid that he would use too much force and the engine would be scrapped at once, so he only used a little force as a guess. After the plane's engine turned for two seconds, , stopped, did not move.

"Ah, what is this for? Could it be that this is a real plane? But what's the use of just a plane!" Lu Zhongming asked in surprise.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Tie grabbed the propeller of the plane for the second time and turned it clockwise again...

A huge roar and a heat wave from the engine exhaust swept across the surroundings instantly like a gust of wind. The positions of Bai Suxian and Lin Huanxi were not far from the head of the plane, and they were just next to the propeller. The propeller was spinning The air current blew up the skirts of the two women all at once.

The combustion of alcohol is different from other petrochemical combustions. The combustion of alcohol is quiet and pure, and only produces water and carbon dioxide, without striking black smoke and unpleasant smell...

"Impossible, I'm not dreaming!" Looking at the spinning propeller and feeling the strong cold wind brought by the propeller, Tang De opened his eyes wide and yelled in disbelief.

At this time, no one would think that Tang De was lacking in style, because almost everyone had the same sentence in their hearts that they didn't say... (To be continued. "")
