Chapter 2523 Airship 1 Out of the World

August 19 of the lunar calendar, October 10 of the solar calendar, afternoon.

Yesterday, the first snow in Luoyang did not stand, and no snowman could be made. It all melted.

Fortunately, the road was well built and not muddy. The village was all cement roads.

The children who were preparing to build a big snowman were very disappointed. Why couldn't it be colder?

If it was cold, even if it didn't snow, the village could make snow artificially.

Li Yi, Li Longji and others ignored the snow. They came to the square. All the ministers were there, waiting for the largest airship in the Tang Dynasty to take off.

Airships had been tried several times in open areas before, of different sizes.

This one will set sail today, and it will not stay in the sky and move slightly like a hot air balloon.

Going to Guangzhou, bringing back bananas for everyone to eat, Li Yi wants to earn back the R&D costs.

"If I send back ten tons of bananas in winter, how much can I sell per pound?"

Li Yi calculated the price of bananas. According to the load, he could bring back 20,000 pounds, the kind of bananas that weigh 640 grams per pound.

He had to consider the consumption capacity. People at that time could buy Chilean cherries for hundreds of yuan per pound...

The purchasing power of currency is different. Bananas sold to the people of the Tang Dynasty cost fifty coins per pound. Can everyone buy a lot?

If they are sold for two hundred coins per pound, the consumption circle will be narrowed.

In fact, people in Henan Prefecture have never eaten bananas. It is 1,400 kilometers away from Guangzhou in a straight line. How many days in advance can they be picked and kept?

"Xiao Yi, transporting bananas back from Guangzhou is a luxury, right?"

Bi Gou watched the airship take off, thinking that he would retire to the second line next year, and planned to work harder.

"Ten coins per pound, that's it, what did you say just now, Lao Bi?"

Li Yi determined the price of bananas. It is cheap and the people can afford it with a little effort.

The R&D cost of Zhuangzi is 200,000 strings, which does not mean the manufacturing cost is 200,000 strings.

If this one is useful, build twenty of them and run to transport bananas every day.

It takes one day and a half to go and come back. One airship sells bananas for 200 strings, twenty for 4,000 strings, and 150 days for 400,000 strings.

That is to say, in less than half a year, the R&D costs and manufacturing costs have all been recovered. This input-output ratio and capital recovery period are scary.

"How can it be so low?" Bi Gou was dumbfounded. Isn't oil money?

"To give back to society, we shouldn't ship it back by airship. The first time we eat it, let the airship fly directly to Guangzhou. It won't be the case in the future."

Li Yi just wanted the people to taste fresh bananas, including those from Jingzhao Prefecture.

Green bananas can be stored for a long time without being ripened.

Ripening has its own technology, which is simple and easy.

He remembered something. The railway of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has been completed and is waiting for acceptance and opening to traffic.

The straight-line distance from Guangzhou to Luoyang is 1,400 kilometers, and the straight-line distance from there to Hangzhou is 1,000 kilometers.

At a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, it saves eight hours for one round trip.

If the train runs again, the time will be longer, but the cost will be low, the number of trains will be large, and the loading capacity will be high.

How many tons can a carload carry? The airship can refuel in Hangzhou, and the carrying capacity will be greater.

It will take half a year to build 20 airships and transport them from Guangzhou to Hangzhou?

In this way, the people of Henan Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture can afford to eat, and if they transport some other fruits and goods, they can earn back all the costs in three months.

Li Yi is not pursuing profits, he wants to provide cheap goods to the people, otherwise why is he doing this?

After the return of the investment, bananas can be five cents a pound, and if the people can earn thirty cents a day, it is no problem to eat them every few days.

"As long as there is a telegraph, the local people are bitten by venomous snakes, tell me what kind of venomous snake it is, and I will use the airship to send anti-snake venom serum."

Li Yi thought of another use of the airship, to send anti-snake venom serum and rabies vaccine, which can be made in this village.

The original mountain people in Guangzhou were bitten by a venomous snake, and they knew what kind of snake it was, so they sent people to the place with the telegraph to tell them, and the airship set off.

The bitten people were treated in advance and carried over.

When they arrived at the place, the airship also arrived, no more than twenty hours.

This is the correct way to open the airship, and there is another way during war.

"Li Lang, it works during natural disasters!" Princess Yongmu then thought of natural disasters.

When there is a severe flood or drought, the people can hold on for a while after the disaster, but they start to run away when the court's rescue is delayed.

At the critical moment, the airship flies over and tells the people not to be afraid, so the people will not flee from famine or disaster.

An airship can carry more than 20 tons of goods at a time. There are enough airships to provide food and drinks.

All the surrounding ethnic minority forces are good at singing and dancing to the Tang Dynasty, and good at fighting to the outside world.

Everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty has explosive packs. Whoever is not convinced will figure it out when the airship flies over his head.

The biggest difference between humans and animals should be understanding. For example, the post-Turkic people who stayed in Xiaohai have a lot of people.

They always think about enduring humiliation and waiting for the day to revive the Turkic people.

When it gets cold, a group of airships fly over to deliver charcoal and coal for heating.

When things are thrown from the sky, people will definitely understand what to do, and they will suddenly realize it!

"Just send troops to attack Silla! And Bohai."

When the airship accelerated and disappeared in the sky, Song Jing, who had previously opposed generals going to war, was tempted.

He was shocked. Airships are so fast? Hot air balloons should be eliminated.

"Wait for it to come back, make two more trips, and see if there are any deficiencies. If there are no problems, build twenty..."

"Two hundred, build two hundred, the court can pay for it."

Li Dan held up two fingers. He wanted to live a carefree life and never feel aggrieved again.

Li Yi looked at Li Dan's posture and words and thought of a game, Street Fighter, an arcade game.

The celebrities in the game used the same gestures. I miss it so much! He used to operate with his left hand and didn't use his right hand.

He was young and ignorant at that time. Later, he played with both hands, because after defeating the opponent with one hand, he might get beaten. In a coin-operated battle, you can still win with one hand.

Just because the opponent can't beat you in the game doesn't mean he can't beat you in a real fight.

Those who know their fate don't stand under the rock wall. They know the consequences and still provoke, unless they have enough confidence.

As for knowing that they might be beaten, but still looking for trouble to see if the opponent dares to fight and wait for compensation, Li Yi never does it.

What if the opponent wants to kill someone? It doesn't matter whether the opponent pays the money or not. Even if the opponent pays the life, he can't live again.

He shook his head and returned to reality: "Don't worry, father-in-law, we don't need the court to pay. If we can build Lijiazhuangzi, it will be early. There is no plan to build airplanes in the short term because there is a lack of airports."

Li Yi plans to vigorously develop the airship industry in the future.

Airships do not need airports, and they are also safe. With more of them, some problems are guaranteed.

People still fall when they walk, and it's a dream to expect airships to never have problems!

If something goes wrong, they still have to fly.

This is how society develops and progresses. Wherever there is a problem, we will find the cause and improve it.

It is not suitable to produce airplanes at the moment. Many airports are needed for transit. The combat radius is small and it is not used at the critical moment.

In the Tang Dynasty, hot air balloons were already popular, so airships shouldn't exist. Why do we need airplanes?
