Volume 50 Chapter 31

Time is like a wheel without brakes, never stopping to wait for anyone. 906 of the Black Iron Calendar was a relatively peaceful year since Taixia entered the jihad. After the Sky Knights of the Demon Race and some Phantom Knights, the momentum of the Demon Race's eastward advance was contained. The armies of the human and demon races on the east and west banks of the Weishui River remained relatively calm for the whole year, entering a state of confrontation, and small-scale conflicts occurred every day. , the battle between the ground legions of the two sides in Helan Mountain has been in full swing, but in general, there are only a handful of battles involving more than a thousand knights.

Compared with the past two years, this situation can only be described as calm.

The battle in Weishui subsided for a while, but inside Taixia, this year was the year when candle oil caused Taixia to have a fever. Taixia, whether it is Xuanyuan Hill or the rich and powerful government in various places, has great expectations and expectations for candle oil. With the candle oil production bases blooming everywhere, under the banner of fighting against demons and defending Taixia, The wave of new industries, represented by candle oil planes and various candle oil weapons, officially swept through Taixia. The whole Taixia was like a machine that was suddenly started. After injecting candle oil, it began to explode with huge energy of.

In just one year, independent air cavalry regiments have been formed in each prefecture of Taixia, and the skeletons of those who move slower have been set up. The Fourth Army of Taixia has even started to form a brand new fully mechanized regiment. Perhaps only the few industrial revolutions of human beings before the cataclysm can be compared with it. Whether it is the rune alchemist of Taixia or the traditional mechanical engineer, many people want to dig out from the gold mine of candle oil. With a hoe, one by one racked their brains to make all kinds of candle oil equipment or weapons. In this case, all kinds of candle oil weapons and candle oil machinery have sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain in Taixia states, across the country. Come out, dizzying...

In just one year, the number of various dual-drive engines that appeared in Taixia skyrocketed to hundreds, and candle oil engines of various displacements and models to meet various needs appeared in large numbers. According to incomplete statistics , the types and numbers of various aircraft appearing in the summer sky of space have increased from a few a year ago to hundreds of types. All kinds of aircraft have come, and even in many states, the state military Basically, they are equipped with various types of aircraft produced in the state. Taixia's Upper Fourth Army, which has a strong system and production capacity, has begun to independently develop new types of candle oil aircraft and candle oil weapons.

Under such circumstances, in order to unify the equipment and logistics supply systems of the armies of each state, Xuanyuan Hill had to issue strict uniform supply standards for candle oil weapons and equipment to each state and the Fourth Army. Both the Central Army and the Fourth Army are not allowed to purchase equipment.

Zhulongling is the holy land of air cavalry, no one will deny this, but the industrial production capacity of Youzhou and Zhulongling is completely unacceptable in Taixia, and the things that Zhulongling can produce, once it is taken out Whether it's weapons or aircraft, it won't be long before Taixia's counties and families with strong industrial production capabilities will have the same, or even better, and more tricks.

The wave of candle oil is in the ascendant. In addition to candle oil, this year, the problems caused by the food shortage in the states and counties of Taixia began to divide.

It can be described as ice and fire.

In those states and counties that were severely affected by the food disaster, the government offices in various places have opened their official warehouses to provide relief, and officials from all over the place are devastated. Places like Hezhulongling had an unprecedented bumper harvest last year. Even the official land in Ninghe County rented by Zhang Tie brought the entire Ninghe County a bumper harvest. The big harvest has further stabilized and alleviated the food shortage in Yanzhou. Now the entire Northeast Governor's Mansion, even those rich and powerful families, are all eyes on Zhulongling and Ninghe County, Zhulongling and Ninghe County. As soon as the grain is harvested, most of the grain will be snapped up at a high price by the people sent by the rich and powerful families in the states before the grain is put into storage.

The Northeast Governor's Mansion was the first to recover from the food shortage that swept through Taixia. For this reason, Cheng Honglie, the governor of the Northeast Governor's Mansion, was also awarded by Xuanyuan Hill, and he was the only one among the governor's mansions in Taixia.

But also in this year, the Zhang family in Huaiyuantang was very disturbed. After Zhenjun Qianji returned to Youzhou from Xuanyuan Hill after recovering from his injuries, Zhenjun Qianji's "disappearance" first caused Taixia's uproar, and then The Huaiyuantang family advocated that Taixuan "practiced into a madness and died suddenly", and then Huaiyuantang split up, and the Zhang family of Jinwutang came out of Huaiyuantang on their own. Issuing sect black posts to the Iron Dragon Sect has caused even more turmoil in the world...

In the midst of all kinds of unease and restlessness, the 906th year of the Black Iron Calendar quietly passed by, and the unstoppable arrival of the 907th Year of the Black Iron Calendar...

...

On January 18, just after the new year, Xuanyuan Hill was still snowing heavily, and at the weapons testing ground in the Shence Army base of Taixia Upper Fourth Army to the east of Xuanyuan Hill, Xuanyuan Changying and several commanders of the Upper Fourth Army The military commander, and a group of Taixia governors who came to Xuanyuan Hill to report on their duties, were sitting in a canopy temporarily built on a hill in the weapon testing field to protect them from wind and snow, watching the prince give a speech to Taixia. The program brought by the officials of the frontier...

Xuanyuan Changying was wearing a prince's dragon robe and a cloak with fox fur at this time, looking heroic in the wind and snow.

"Down, here we come..." Hearing a reminder from a commander of the Frontier Shence Army, Xuanyuan Changying Changying picked up the binoculars on the side and looked into the northern sky. Like Xuanyuan Changying, they picked up the binoculars in front of them and looked over, while others had strange lights flashing in their eyes, and looked over together.

In the telescope in Xuanyuan Changying's hand, two rows of black dots could already be seen in the sky. They were flying towards this direction at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, braving the wind and snow. The image became clearer, and the two rows of black spots in the sky could already be seen, which were exactly two rows of planes flying in formation.

That is not an ordinary plane, and it is completely different from the first few types of air cavalry aircraft produced by Zhulongling. A frame of behemoths.

Each plane in the sky is more than 70 meters long, the wings are more than 60 meters wide, and the height is more than 8 meters. The body is wide, and each wing is equipped with four high-power engines.

There were a total of eight planes in those two rows, and they appeared in the sky like two rows of big birds. They were more shocking than the airships, and there was no doubt that those planes were faster than the airships, and they were also more impressive. faster.

Looking at the more and more obvious and clear plane in the sky, the expressions on the faces of the governors present have changed a little. For these Taixia ministers, everyone has seen airships and airships a lot. It's not unusual, but this is the first time everyone has seen such a large aircraft.

The two rows of planes flew over the weapon testing ground in a short time, and the roar of the huge engines came down from the sky, as if there were several trains running in the sky, deafening, and then, in front of everyone While watching, a hatch suddenly opened under each plane, and then, raindrops of bombs fell from the eight large planes like eggs, and fell into a valley with two mountains in front of everyone. Among them, in an instant, a fire dragon emerged from nothing, engulfing a valley with an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers in the blink of an eye...

The burning fire dragon melted the ice and snow, and burned the land red. The steel supports erected in the valley also turned red and softened in the fire dragon, melting like candles. Moreover, with the burning of those flames, a wave of The gray-black mist emitted during the burning, covering the area around the valley.

Even though it was far away, the burning fire dragon still made everyone sitting on the top of the mountain feel waves of people.

More than ten minutes later, when the fire dragon and the gray-black mist disappeared, the valley in front of everyone had already turned into a scorched black land without any vitality.

Seeing such a scene, the faces of all the governors were shocked. Everyone understood the meaning of those planes in the sky. Those planes carried more bombs than heavy airships. It is estimated that each plane can carry 50 bombs at a time. Tons of ammunition, but their speed is many times faster than airships. Such an aircraft is definitely a weapon of war on the battlefield. An air strike can deal a huge blow to the demon army on the ground. No matter how fast the demon legion on the ground can run, there is absolutely no such plane as fast as it can. It can make up for the biggest deficiency in airship air strikes. Even if it is not used for air strikes, it is used for transportation. This large aircraft can also give troops Logistically a huge convenience.

But this is not over yet. After a while, following the reminder of a general in the Shence Army, everyone's eyes turned to the far end of the valley.

At the end, a line of forty strange-looking half-tracked heavy trucks was coming.

The strange appearance of those heavy trucks is because there are several rows of huge pipes on the top of those trucks.

When driving to a distance of more than 30 kilometers from this valley, the forty strange-looking half-tracked heavy trucks stopped together, and then the rows of pipes on their backs began to rise, Aim at this valley.

After those pipes stopped rising and were quiet for half a minute, pieces of flames spewed out from those pipes, and amidst the spouting flames, huge "rockets" flew faster than airplanes. The speed was given by those huge pipes, and when it flew to this valley, it landed. It had already been burned, and Yu Wenyou's valley was once again shrouded in high-temperature flames...

"What do you think of these two sharp weapons?" Xuanyuan Changfeng put down the binoculars in his hand, and asked all the ministers with a smile...
