Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 1013: airship

"Why do you name the refugee team" Expeditionary Expedition "? Those poor guys will surely be scared to death." Sarah nestled in the duvet with her head resting on the man's thick chest and whispered casually.

The singer once used to the life of the canary. Her usual job is to perform some public concerts every week, so that the citizens of the army can enjoy some spiritual entertainment. In private, she and her four daughters were imprisoned by the Supreme Ruler, and all taboos were open to one person only.

On the large bed, there are several lazy bodies lying horizontally and vertically. Zhou Qingfeng reached out and carried the most mature and greenest two in his arms, comfortably enjoying the aftertaste of joy.

"For a group of black people, it is necessary to give them hope and inspire their fighting spirit to make them strong. For them, it is better to have an expectation of anything, and an emergency can easily cause confusion.

I just want to let those refugees know that being selected, trained, and asked to join my team is only the beginning, and the establishment of merit can complete self-salvation. Only in this way can they have the courage to fight in the face of life and death. "

"But I still feel that the name of this unit is terrible, and I must not dare to join it." Sarah's arms tightened, and she coveted the sense of security brought by the man's heart.

"You just need to be my woman obediently, always beautiful, beautiful, glorious, and leave everything to me." Zhou Qingfeng kissed the woman's forehead, but got up and got up from the bed. The morning exercise is over and it is time to get up and work.

To expedite Africa, complicated organizational work is needed. The most troublesome is the means of transportation. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean is not easy-the simplest, but also the most complicated, flight. Without reliable navigation, the situation at the airport ahead is even less clear, and the risk of flying out is too great.

"Although our planned advance team is not large, we can't cross the Atlantic with small planes and ships, and we must use transportation means with a range of 10,000 kilometers."

"Our C-17 transport aircraft has intercontinental flight and field take-off and landing capabilities, but it is also a risky act to go to Africa. The use of large ships is a more reliable way, but the cost is much greater."

"Our 'Aurora' is actually more suitable for such long-distance navigation, but this ship has been docked at the port for a year and has reached the point where it needs to enter the shipyard for maintenance. And if it leaves, our power supply will be extremely Great shortage. "

Raymond, who was promoted to Deputy Minister of the Interior, made a short report and concluded that 'Expedition to Africa' was costly and the benefits and risks were disproportionate.

Zhou Qingfeng did not say publicly that he was going to Africa to collect his compatriots, but only to establish diplomatic and trade links. And now the suggestion given by the Ministry of the Interior after the assessment is 'suspend'. If it is forced to go, it also needs a huge fleet.

But others can hold off, Zhou Qingfeng can't hold off. He had begun secretly operating his own African expeditionary force, and the arrow had been wound and he had to send. When organizing a huge fleet to Africa and finally gaining nothing, it will be a major blow to the current tight army.

"Before sending out a large fleet, I needed a light, simple, fast, and long-distance transportation vehicle." Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head, and his requirements were contradictory--the light and simple transportation vehicles generally ran far and far. Unhappy, but now the goal is to cross the entire Atlantic.

Just when this was a headache, there was a visit by Jiang Qian-Mr. Dave, a trade representative from Inkley, submitted an application to the Legion again. This time he was not here to talk about the right to issue banknotes, but to open A long-distance intercontinental transportation company.

"His Excellency, as far as the current world environment is concerned, aircraft and ships that require a lot of fuel are obviously not economical, and coal-fired freighters are too slow. However, there is an urgent need for commercial transportation among multiple forces distributed throughout the continent. , This requires a cheap, fast tool. "

The skinny Mr. Dave finally met the head of the Aurora Corps, and the meeting between them was a bit funny. The old Jewish man, with a small white hat, talked like a big monkey in front of Zhou Qingfeng.

"Have you heard anything?" Zhou Qingfeng was not impressed by the Jews, and was even more vigilant about the so-called 'business talent' of this ethnic group, but he still wanted to know what medicine was sold in the old man's gourd.

"I heard that Your Excellency Commander has the need for an expedition to Africa, and I am very willing to provide services for your expedition plan." After getting clear information from Marshall, Old Man Dave was no longer anxious to get the legion's currency right immediately, he Decided to be good for customers first.

"What services can you provide?"

"Dear Master, have you considered using airships for trans-Atlantic transportation?"

airship? Zhou Qingfeng didn't really think about it. He searched for a large number of ships and aircraft, but never thought about searching for airships.

"A hundred years ago, the Zeppelin in Germany could cross the Atlantic. The famous Hindenburg weighs more than 100 tons and has a maximum load of more than 360 tons. It can carry more than 100 passengers. They flew across the Atlantic in five or six days and have a range of more than 16,000 kilometers. "

Oh ... this is not exactly what Lao Tzu needs—Zhou Qingfeng's eyes are really bright ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Old Dave is getting more excited and spit.

"More than two decades ago, the U.S. Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency envisioned the development of an 'Walrus' class overweight airship. It was required to carry five hundred tons of supplies from the United States to Europe in two to three days, and it could withstand severe weather. Landing at an easy landing point. "

Five hundred tons? Intercontinental flight? This is simply black technology against the sky!

"The" Walrus "class was created?" Zhou Qingfeng asked with a frown, puzzled, as far as he knew the plan was eventually cancelled because of a series of problems.

"Uh ..., a 500-tonne-weight 'Walrus' could not be manufactured, but its five-ton-load technology verification machine was manufactured. It was jointly funded by NASA and the Department of Defense, and produced a total of two Test.

I have retrieved the information, and the current “Walrus” verification airship was dropped at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, and it can be used with simple maintenance.

It is 20 meters long, weighs 4 tons and has a load of 7 tons. It is made of lightweight and sturdy materials. Fully automated design, requiring only three people for simple training to drive, can easily cross the Atlantic Ocean. "

The load was reduced from five hundred tons to seven tons, which is really ...

Well, with a small transportation advance, seven tons is actually enough. The key is to be able to fly directly across the Atlantic Ocean in a short period of time without the need for resupply and docking.

Zhou Qingfeng was really impressed. He pouted and turned his head slightly to look at the old man Dave, and asked, "What kind of return do you need for your convenience?"

Dave bowed his head humbly and said, "Dear Lord Legion, I hope to have your friendship."
