Chapter 1044 The army is under pressure, the sleepless night of the Southern Suburbs Alliance!
Historically, airships were a strategically important weapon before jets took center stage in the military.
As the 'king of barrier-free military transportation', the biggest advantage of airships in transportation is that the required infrastructure and geographical constraints are the least.
Vehicles need flat land and repaired roads, trains need pre-laid rails, ships need suitable sea routes and ports, and even planes with the least obstacles need to take off and land from an airport with simple erection.
And what about the airship?
This thing doesn't even need a flat ground.
From the beginning of the 20th century to the eve of World War II, it was the golden age of airships and became popular all over the world.
The technology left by Zeppelin was inherited by his good friend Dr. Aikenna, who built the first super airship and completed the first record of traveling around the world from the sky in human history.
Subsequent humans have rapidly expanded the airship on the basis of it, and even evolved into an arms race.
However, just when everyone thought that the airship was about to develop to another height, with the appearance of the airplane, this momentum stopped abruptly.
It took less than ten years for it to completely withdraw from human vision.
The reason is that there are three main pain points that cannot be solved.
Slow speed, fuel consumption, and inflation issues.
Since the specific gravity of the airship is lighter than that of air, the reaction to the wind is too intense, and it basically floats with the wind.
This makes it basically impossible to control the take-off and arrival as well as the specific route, and sometimes the route cannot be determined.
For military requirements, such uncontrollable precision tools are obviously not as good as more dexterous aircraft.
Secondly, the helium gas used in airships is expensive, and it is easy to cause an explosion if it is replaced with cheap hydrogen gas.
Hindenburg's tragedy was caused by a hydrogen explosion.
Coupled with the limitation of airship fuel, in order to promote steering or acceleration, the fuel carried on the boat will continue to decrease as it sails.
Once the weight of this thing is reduced, the height of the airship will easily get out of control.
"However... we have solutions to all problems."
"The speed is too slow, the precision is not enough, and we don't need to be that fast."
"For the fuel problem, we can directly replace it with the energy stone engine, and even recharge it during the flight"
"The rest of the inflation is temporarily replaced by hydrogen, and the problem is not big."
I have to find a way to solve the long-distance transportation problem, otherwise I can only stare blankly when I encounter such a similar problem of asking for help.
Su Deben was silent for a while, and he didn't know whether he was immersed in the prospect of the airship's success, or was seriously thinking about the feasibility of the airship.
After a while, he nodded slightly and gave his opinion.
"I think it's a risky thing to do, but it's worth a try."
"Even if those aborigines have anti-aircraft weapons in their hands, the aging metal may not be able to threaten the airship."
"But if it works, it will help us a lot!"
Not only can support to places outside the territory.
It can also pose a certain air threat.
Su Mo nodded slightly.
Just like the real world was developed before, the airship cannot be made and put into use immediately.
But as long as there is an idea, someone will study it.
One day in the future, a giant airship engraved with the word "Tianyuan" will finally be able to take off.

The information about the Western Suburbs Alliance is not hidden from ordinary residents. After all, after the previous fights, most people have already learned about the general information of these two "neighbors" in private, and they know that the products they sell are ultimately Where did it all go.
But this kind of official announcement still allows everyone to see the results of the development of the territory today.
Not only has it become stronger, but it has a certain influence in the surrounding area.
However, even today's territory announcement is suddenly longer than the duration of the fog.
Not only the news about the new 'Pumpkin Kefu Bunker', the reform of monetary policy, the sale of residents' houses, the crowdfunding of new camp berths and so on, but also numerous advertisements, but the focus of residents' attention is still not These.
For the first time, he saw the announcement of Tianyuan Dungeon among dozens of messages.
The territory chat channel exploded!
No one understands better than me: "Fuck, you can live in a dungeon with only 300 contribution points?!"
Taoist Kongkong: "Epic level update, this is definitely an epic level update, let alone, I will buy one now!"
Fluttering moth: "Damn, old man, when did you sneak around behind my back and save enough points? Did you go out and steal people?"
Mousse Cake: "Strictly investigate the old way, cake asks to strictly investigate the old way!"
Fluttering Moth: "Get out, this is the reward I got for almost dying in Qinggang City last time, okay?"
It's bad, right? "It's bad. Doesn't that mean that three places have already been reserved?"
The old electrician: "Damn it, why do I have 60 contribution points, and I have to save up until the year of the monkey to get them together."
Doomsday madman: "Hey, I never thought I would live in the dungeon one day earlier."
Let's go to the pier to order French fries: "It's broken, even the crazy brother has saved enough, it seems that I can't make up the 500 places."
Qi Jie: "Brothers, what is this contribution point and how can I get it?"
Juicing the ramen: "I'm so stupid, why is it so unlucky to spend a lot of money on advertising, his grandma's, give me ramen, today it's only half price!"
Nuclear Rifle: "I said 8, if you didn't say it earlier, I'll come over and eat three bowls at half price!"
Painful: "I suggest you check to see if the ramen has changed the price first. This ramen guy is not honest at all, he only cheats his own people."
Although looking at the chat channel of the territory, it seems that many people have already accumulated enough 300 contribution points, and the 500 places released will be snatched up soon, but there are only about 50 people with this point in the background statistics.
Among them, Chen Shen and the management team must be counted. Apart from them, only 30 people will be eligible to buy in the end.
Of course, there are many people who are close to this number.
At least one thousand people's points have exceeded two hundred, and they will reach this number soon.
The excited residents rushed to the General Administration of Work, and soon, the logistics office, which had been shut down for nearly a month, was crowded with people again.
There are people who are eager to find a job and save points everywhere, especially those jobs with low daily wages and high points are being snapped up like crazy.
It took less than five minutes for the 300 places to go to build the outpost camp before it was declared full.
There is no need to worry about manpower for the remaining positions in the construction camp, and the speed of registration is astonishingly fast.
In addition, pre-purchasing camp berths also has construction support rewards, giving some additional contribution point rewards.
Because the price was not cheap, they were not sold out immediately.
But after less than four hours, it was still bought up by wealthy residents, and every bunk had an owner.
I wrote my name on the registration office at the entrance of the dungeon, and saw that the contribution points on the account disappeared by three hundred.
The old man, the male gun brother, and the dreamer chose the room with a smirk.
Both are located on the second floor near the manager's office.
Although it is safer to go down, if the enemy invades, it is impossible to hit the bottom directly.
But almost all the people who came to buy chose the second floor, and they all know that only the second floor will have the highest price in the future.
Even if you can't buy or sell, it's worth it if you can get closer to the lord!
"Tsk tsk, it's just that the space is so small, it can only fit a bed now."
Walking into the room marked '2-1-101', looking at the space of only ten square meters, the old man made complaints about it.
But looking at the unconcealable smile on his face, this guy is not really complaining, he is obviously showing off.
Many nearby residents who couldn't afford to come in for sightseeing cursed secretly, and couldn't help but speed up.
"Come on, this is a private space. It's still underground. I'm already satisfied with ten square meters."
Brother Male Gun is pragmatic, he already moved an iron frame bed and put it in the corner when he came in, and he also stuffed his precious iron box under the bed board and buckled it up.
In addition to the place to live, a table and chairs can be placed at the door.
Even if you have friends here on weekdays, as long as there are no more than six people, you can basically move around in it.
"Hey, where is Taomeng, he didn't come down?"
"He's gone to ask about the Pumpkin Bunker, and we'll set off after we get it clear."
Since the last sewer incident, the friendship between the three has grown rapidly, and they always compete with each other on weekdays.
If there is nothing, the Viagra of the four heavenly kings of the scavengers is excluded.
But Viagra didn't care, he didn't like to take risks in the first place, and he chose the scavengers just to improve his level faster.
Recently, an alliance of scavengers has been established in the village, and he has become the leader of the alliance.
With the lifting of the ban, a group of people have already been called to go to the western suburbs to practice leveling, and they have no intention of going to the remote pumpkin bunker to join in the fun.
"Okay, five people. Counting the three of us, we have to find two more people."
The old man tilted his head and thought for a while: "Is there anyone on your side?"
"There is one, which can be regarded as the direction of combat. Our team lacks a real frontal firepower."
"That's just right, we can set off with another scattered person!"
It was not difficult to find an adventurous scavenger. After tidying up the room, the two hurriedly locked the door and left.
The last time they went to the southern suburbs, they couldn't even break through the fifth ring, and they didn't even go inside the building to check.
But this time, he tightened the straps on his back, and with a chill coming from his back, the male gun brother's eyes were full of confidence.
Not to mention the radiation beast, even if he encounters the so-called gopher army, he has the confidence to touch it.
Street fighting, the main thing is sneak attack.
As long as they don't enter the encirclement, is it possible that they can push down the obstacles and attack?
However, what the male gun brother would never have thought was that he was in the southern suburbs at this time.
A Qinggang army with a number of more than 50,000 people has already marched into this area through Gaohuan with high spirits!
