Chapter 879: Airport

"It looks like I'm going to quarrel with those old men who read books blindly again. I hope they won't say that I don't care about propriety and integrity behind my back." Princess Junru touched the landing gear of the bomber and said helplessly. Now Princess Junru has many laws that allow women to show their faces in public, which seriously hits the self-esteem of those pedantic people. It can be said that Princess Junru will definitely be recorded in the notebooks by these scholars.

Mofang shrugged his shoulders and said that he could not help. It would take at least 50 or 60 years to change the pedantic and backward customs and thinking. Don't get me wrong, it's not about changing the ideas of those pedantic people who read books blindly, but after 50 or 60 years, all the fools who refuse to accept new changes will die...

"Many bombers have been completed. Now I'll take you to see what these bombers are used for. Let's go to the airport apron." Mofang found a flatbed truck for transporting goods, and Princess Junru and Fangfang got on it, and drove to the apron.

The reason for choosing to manufacture classic World War II aircraft is that this type of aircraft has a simple structure, is fast to manufacture, and is easy to repair and does not require much maintenance. For example, it can be placed directly in the sun without a hangar, and it does not need to be taken care of in the wind or rain. If it is scrapped, it can be thrown away directly. Anyway, it is simple to manufacture and has no trouble. There are great benefits.

When Princess Junru came to the apron near the airport, she saw that the apron was full of silver-gray bombers, and many workers were painting and maintaining them.

When he came to a bomber, the Cube turned the four propellers one by one to check, and then looked at the landing gear. It was okay, at least it was much stronger than the Type 29 Sky Fortress bomber produced during World War II on Earth. If there were no accidents, it would be almost no problem to use it for decades. Fortunately, there were energy collection panels made by the Mechanical Empire to collect energy so that it would not have to refuel and pollute the environment.

A flatbed truck loaded with bombs drove to the bomber. The mechanical soldiers and human students responsible for hanging the bombs hung the bombs into the bomb bay together. The Cube took this opportunity to conduct a simple pre-flight inspection of the bomber.

To be honest, this is the first time that Mofang has played with a propeller plane in his life. Helicopters are not included. Propeller planes are the real antiques in the universe. All kinds of warships in the mechanical fleet have super engines. When have they been equipped with propeller engines? Mofang plans to test the performance of the bomber himself, on the one hand to check the craftsmanship, and on the other hand to feel the special charm of propeller planes.

After the bombs were hung and the bomb bays were closed, Mofang waved to Princess Junru.

"Let's go, come up and feel the unique charm of propeller planes. You will like that feeling."

"Great, I was just about to try it."

Princess Junru looked at Mofang and said happily, as for Fangfang, forget it. This child's legs and feet are a little weak when riding a helicopter. If she flies higher than a helicopter, she will faint.

"This dress is very inappropriate for you. I've prepared a pilot suit for you. Go change into one in the car over there."

A mechanical soldier took out a green flight suit and gave it to Princess Junru. Curious Princess Junru walked into an armed off-road vehicle and changed clothes in the car. Fangfang was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. In broad daylight, the princess and future queen of a country actually hid in the car to change clothes? Oh my God! So embarrassing!

While Fangfang was blushing and covering her face, the car door opened, and Princess Junru, wearing a green flight suit, walked out heroically.

Princess Junru tied her hair up behind her head. The professional pilot suit looked much more energetic than the previous dress. Two mechanical soldiers helped to sort out the various functional equipment on the flight suit, and finally took out a pair of earphones and microphones and handed them to Princess Junru. Princess Junru also knew how to use this thing in the helicopter.

In addition to the Rubik's Cube and Princess Junru, there were three mechanical soldiers traveling with them. The crew was configured with five people, two pilots, a navigator and bombardier, a communicator, and a machine gun operator.

The bomber is equipped with a machine gun operator because there is a turret on the belly and the top of the aircraft, equipped with two machine guns, which can deal with simple air threats in an emergency.

Mofang sat in the main driving position, Princess Junru sat in the co-pilot, and the other three mechanical soldiers were responsible for other tasks. When Princess Junru sat in the co-pilot position, she saw the densely packed instrument switches on the dashboard in front of her. There were switches on the head, the side of the body, the front and even the back. The first feeling was dizziness, and the second feeling was that she could never do this job. It was too difficult.

Snap! Snap! Mofang quickly turned on the engine control switch above the head between the main and co-pilot, and then turned on other switches one after another. The other three mechanical soldiers were also busy, and only Princess Junru was staring blankly.

The four propeller engines on the wings outside began to rotate slowly, and then the speed became faster and faster. Not long after, Princess Junru, who was sitting in the cockpit, felt the plane tremble slightly and roared outside. Mofang reached out to close the porthole to quiet the cockpit. The sound insulation effect was good.

The Rubik's Cube pushed the handle to increase the propeller thrust and released the brake system. This classic World War II bomber roared and slowly slid forward...

"I like this feeling..." the Rubik's Cube muttered.

After turning the steering system, the bomber turned a corner and drove along the taxiway to the head of the airport runway. The roar of the propeller attracted the attention of the workers outside the factory. Everyone stopped their work and looked at the taxiing bomber with incredible faces. It was the first time for many of them to see the iron monster they assembled by themselves move.

Under the attention of many people, the Rubik's Cube controlled the bomber to taxi to the end of the runway and turned to the runway.

"Your Highness."

The Rubik's Cube shouted to Princess Junru while wearing sunglasses that he didn't know where he got them.

"What?"

"Have a farewell ceremony to the land you love. You will miss it."

After saying that, the Rubik's Cube smiled and then lowered the wings, released the brakes and pushed the push rod to increase the engine thrust. With a slight shake and roar, the bomber slid forward faster and faster...

Normal airplanes and helicopters are different. The feeling of riding a helicopter is not as exciting as riding a normal airplane. The faster and faster speed will make people who fly for the first time feel a little uncomfortable physically. Fortunately, the human physique of the Shenwu Continent is stronger than that of the earthlings, and Princess Junru did not vomit on the spot.

In the factories around the airport, the workers were surprised to see that the bomber was getting faster and faster. Even the nose landing gear had left the ground, leaving only the main landing gear at the back still gliding on the runway, and the sound of the engine propeller was deafening.

In the cockpit, the speedometer on the dashboard showed that the speed had reached the take-off requirements. The Rubik's Cube pulled the joystick...

The main landing gear left the ground and got higher and higher!

It took off, and the bomber left the ground with a loud roar. The people in the factory near the airport were stunned. When they looked at the bomber they had assembled again, their eyes were suddenly different, with fear, shock, excitement, and disbelief.
