Chapter 772 Rise 2

In the west of Yingzhou, in Ningguo, Zhang Quan hugged Ning Xiaolan, quietly looking into the distance.

In the sky, the latest propeller plane is roaring and flying freely. After a long period of exploration, Zhang Quan's "Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group" finally fully mastered the manufacturing technology of aircraft. However, it is only preliminary, but this is already a huge progress.

At this moment, Ning Xiaolan looked at the plane in the sky, her face glowing brilliantly. Although the current aircraft is just a start, it cannot pose a threat to the masters, and they are not even considered by the masters. But, after all, it started.

Ning Xiaolan can't forget the powerful appearance of Shang Kingdom last year, and the huge aerospace aircraft carrier showed the power of technology. This was a simple attack, and the country of Su was almost wiped out. If it weren't for Ning Guo's support, the current Su State might have been divided up by the surrounding countries.

Right now, Ning Xiaolan is even a little excited when she sees that her country has produced a real airplane.

But Ning Xiaolan was excited, but Zhang Quan was in a heavy heart.

It is exactly the same sentence - the ignorant is fearless, the more you know, the heavier you are.

Just the production and manufacture of a propeller plane, Zhang Quan understood the difficulty in it.

With the detailed technology and blueprints sent by Li Xian, it still took Zhang Quan less than half a year to actually produce the first 'complete' propeller plane.

During this period, Zhang Quan mobilized almost all his strength and used all the accumulation in the past. More than five hundred followers worked non-stop day and night, and only then did he achieve the current results.

Looking at the "slow" planes in the sky, Zhang Quan thought of the supersonic planes of the Shang Kingdom, the rockets of the Shang Kingdom, and the aerospace aircraft carrier like a flying fortress.

"How complicated are those technologies?" Zhang Quan suddenly felt timid.

A small propeller plane has thousands of data and tens of thousands of details; in addition to the plane itself, the processing of the plane's mechanical equipment and so on are all a series of troubles. In order to produce a propeller plane, Zhang Quan invested 70% of his wealth!

Fortunately, it worked! And this success is still because Li Xian handed over the most core technology to himself.

And because the knowledge of fluid mechanics sent by Li Xian is relatively complete, Zhang Quan applied a little bit of fluid mechanics to ships, guns and weapons, and locomotives.

"If I don't have the technology sent by my virtuous brother, I may not be able to produce a real aircraft in three years or even ten years!" Zhang Quan pursed his lips tightly, feeling the gap and pressure for the first time.

"No, I can't give up!" Zhang Quan embraced Ning Xiaolan, who is all over the country, and made up his mind again - gritted his teeth and wanted to develop.

Then Zhang Quan looked at the sea in the distance, where a shipyard was under construction. The first official shipyard belonging to the Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group is almost complete.

After a while, one of Zhang Quan's disciples came over, "Teacher, the inspection and acceptance of the first dock has been completed and we can start work."

Zhang Quan was overjoyed, "Let's go and have a look."

Ning Xiaolan also walked forward happily, as if she saw the strength and rise of Ningguo.

After a while, Ning Fangfang, who was next to her, also followed Ningguo Queen, Ningguo's prince, relevant officials, etc., and walked into the shipyard together. But the queen was a bit reserved after all, she just stood and watched from a distance. But Ning Xiaolan didn't, and walked into the shipyard by Zhang Quan's side.

A shipyard is a world of steel. The huge gantry cranes around are already busy, and the technology is not up to the mark for the time being. The cranes use not steel wire ropes, but ropes rolled from monster fur, which have been slightly refined; although such ropes are a bit more expensive, they are of good quality. For the time being, it is enough to meet Ningguo's initial needs.

The prince walked slowly, looking at the steel world around him, and listening to the sound of steel colliding around, he seemed to enjoy it very much. "Zhang Quan, do you know that if someone made noise in front of me before, I would definitely be furious. But now, I actually like listening to the sound here."

Zhang Quan smiled and said: "Your Highness, the noise in the past was a noisy voice. But the voice now is the voice of a powerful country, the roar of a country's rise."

"Ha..." The crown prince laughed out loud when he heard this, and the officials around him also laughed, and the voices of praise continued endlessly.

Enough laughing, the prince continued: "Now we can start building warships, right? The blueprint a few days ago has made my heart itch for a long time."

"Start immediately." Zhang Quan said, and told a disciple next to him: "Lu Shichao, you can start now."

Lu Shichao immediately got busy, and after a while, the dock began to make loud noises. The gantry crane started to work. First, pieces of steel plates that had been twisted were brought over, surrounded by Jindanqi'workers' busy.

These people used spells to place the steel plates, and then began to weld the steel plates. After a period of exploration, Zhang Quan also mastered the basic welding technology here, no longer kneading with real yuan, but using high temperature welding. These workers in charge of 'welding' are all young masters in the Jindan stage, and all of them have excellent flame spells.

But welding is not a battle. These Jindan masters only weld a gap of about ten meters, so they have to take a break; some places cannot be stopped, and even multiple people work together; or work alone, but the elixir in their mouths keeps coming.

Seeing such a work situation, the corners of the Prince's mouth twitched a little—it's too extravagant, isn't it!

But thinking of the strength of Shang Kingdom and the contribution of industry to the development of Ning Kingdom at this stage, he finally didn't speak, just watched quietly.

Ning Xiaolan was much calmer than the crown prince. Seeing that the 'workers' were still resting, Ning Xiaolan said to Zhang Quan, "If there are not enough elixir and spirit stones, I will send another batch."

Zhang Quan shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "That's enough. After the first warship is successfully launched, the group will be self-sufficient. Or after the aircraft production line is completed, the group will also be self-sufficient.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, Ningguo will get cramp from counting the money. "

Ning Xiaolan nodded.

But Prince Ningguo frowned: "I agree with the sale of arms, but I think it can be exchanged for some natural materials and earthly treasures, etc.? If you sell money, what is the use?"

Zhang Quan was a little stiff, and reluctantly explained: "Your Highness, as long as we have good things, we have the final say on how to price them. Zhang Quan just made a metaphor."

Only then did Prince Ning let out an oh.

But Ning Xiaolan looked at Prince Ning, something was wrong; but Ning Xiaolan just glanced at it, and then focused her eyes on the dock in front again.

The steel is colliding, the machinery is roaring, and these Jindan stage workers are very skilled in welding metal. Gradually, the outline of a large steel ship appeared. After all, this is the world of practice, and in terms of some production efficiency, it does have an unimaginable speed.

In the afternoon, the welding of the keel was completed, and the sealing cabin began to be covered.

Everyone stood here for a long time, but they still didn't leave. It seemed that they even wanted to wait until the warship was completed.

But until sunset, the airtight cabin was still covered.

Zhang Quan had no choice but to persuade everyone: "This warship will have to wait for about half a month if it is to be launched. This is already the limit speed. There will be a lot of details to be dealt with next, which is a waste of time.

But right now there is a step that you may be interested in. "

Everyone's eyes widened immediately, and they saw four golden core stage 'workers' walking towards them carrying a huge mechanical device with a very complicated structure. It looks like a fallen round tower.

"This is the engine!" Zhang Quan said, pointing to the mechanical equipment, very proud, "This is the core of the industry. This is an internal combustion engine that can reach 2,000 horsepower, which is enough to make the current warship reach 30 kilometers. speed.

If the surface of the warship is constructed with black iron wires to prevent water, the speed of the warship is expected to reach 80 kilometers per hour.

However, if we want to build a formation, we have to wait for our technology to mature further and be able to extract liquid aura from oil. Otherwise, just relying on the spirit-gathering array or spirit stones would be expensive and the effect would not be very good. "

Ning Xiaolan nodded, and began to observe and think seriously.

But at this moment, someone suddenly sent a letter, which was addressed to Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan opened it and looked at it, and read: "The Feitian Group of Liang Kingdom has developed an airplane, and in order to compete with Tiangong, we sincerely invite Zhang Concubine to watch the ceremony in Huizhou City, the imperial capital of Liang Kingdom, three days later.

Liang Guo, Liang Kai. "

After Zhang Quan finished reading, the surroundings were suddenly quiet.

This is... the challenge book!
