Chapter 1154

Xiao Ming stands on the left side of the runway and looks at the forward taxiing monoplane.

Whether it's a Blitzkrieg against tsarist Russia or against Britain, there are frontline generals in command. They are thousands of miles away, and the transmission of information is backward. As an emperor, he can only focus on production, science and technology, construction and logistics.

Now the monoplane that is in test flight is one of the projects he has been focusing on for more than half a year.

With the improvement of the imperial industrial system and the continuous development of chemical industry and materials science, the scientific and technological level of the Empire has reached the level of the early 20th century.

Because of this, the imperial machinery factory was able to turn the tank on the drawing into reality. Now, the high-tech machinery of monoplane is successful again in a period of time.

It can be said that the explosion of science and technology in the Empire today is entirely due to the accumulation of talents in the past 20 years.

At present, the majors of imperial colleges and universities are basically in line with the contemporary scientific research system. In addition to the traditional chemical engineering, materials and physics majors, there have been more computer majors and atomic energy majors in the past two years.

The reason why he only added these two majors to colleges and universities now is that only when the technology has accumulated to a certain stage can the research of these two majors be qualified, and the development law of science from simple to complex can not be violated.

Of course, in addition to his new major, he also released a lot of new knowledge from his old major, such as steam turbine, aeroengine and so on.

"I never thought that people could fly into the sky. Now it's really eye opening." Fijian said that with the passage of time, the veteran of the three dynasties has turned grey and his back is a little rickety.

Two days ago, he had formally resigned from office to Xiao Ming. He lived in Qingzhou for the rest of his life. At the age of 65, his health has become increasingly unable to support the current intensity of government affairs.

In this regard, Xiao Ming did not retain. In recent years, the Empire went to the East and the west, and the development of science and technology was booming. However, he has been improving his government affairs.

For the first time in the Empire, it was proposed that an official could resign at the age of 55 and return to the imperial court at the age of 60.

After all, people at this age, both physically and mentally, are already a little slow, so they are not suitable to continue to hold positions in the imperial court.

In his opinion, only new officials can lead the Empire to a more brilliant future.

It is reasonable to say that Fijian should resign five years ago, but Xiao Ming thought that he was still more prestigious among the old officials, so he left him for five years to be responsible for supervising all officials and deposing those old officials who were corrupt, bribed and did not do anything. It is also considered that people make the best use of their talents and materials.

"It's not only Fei Ge Lao, we never expected to see such a magical machine. "Said Pang.

All of a sudden, Fiji wanted to resign and return to the field. He was reluctant to give up. Without such an opponent, the court was lonely.

However, he also understands that today is different from the past. Nowadays, it is not fashionable to fight in the Empire. The atmosphere of the whole empire is consistent with the outside world. Moreover, he is not young. In a few years, he will be the same as Fiji. All of them have the same feelings.

Xiao Ming's eyes looked back and forth on them, and he couldn't help laughing: "you are making a fuss. The blowout period of imperial science and technology has just begun. You will see it later."

”Ha ha ha In this way, I must live longer. "Fijian laughed.

While the three were talking, the monoplane began to take off at the end of the runway and rushed into the sky like a bird.

In an instant, the whole machinery factory erupted into thunderous cheers.

”It's flying! It's flying! "

the technicians of the machinery factory danced, while the workers lifted the technicians of the aircraft and threw them into the sky to express their excitement.

For the people of the Empire, the significance of aircraft is not comparable to that of tanks and cars, because in the long history, human beings have always been in awe of the sky and thought it was the residence of gods.

But now the success of monoplane means that human beings can fly freely in the sky, which is not comparable to the hot air balloon moving with the wind.

Xiao Ming can not help but be infected by this enthusiasm. This is his empire, a thriving superpower.

"Lin Wentao, you have done a good job. You can say that you have completed the test flight ahead of time. But now is not the time to be proud. Next, the military industrial production of aircraft should be put on the agenda, especially the development of bombers and transport aircraft." Xiao Ming said that at present, no country in the world has an air force.

Therefore, fighter planes are of little significance to Xiao Ming. What is really useful to the Empire are bombers and transport planes. The former can carpet bomb the enemy's positions, while the latter can speed up the deployment of the imperial army.

"Don't worry, Emperor. We have accumulated experience through this plane. It's easy to follow." Lin Wentao nodded. He already had the design drawings of bombers and transport planes. This monoplane is just to start the aircraft manufacturing industry.

The Empire will soon be established in the northern aircraft design and manufacturing center in Jinzhou, the eastern aircraft design and manufacturing center in Qingzhou, the southern aircraft manufacturing center in Chengdu, and the Western aircraft manufacturing center in Chang'an.These manufacturing centers will design and manufacture all types of aircraft for the future of the Empire.

"Well, I hope to be able to fly between the cities of the Empire one day earlier. "Xiao Ming looks forward to it.

For him, transportation and information transmission are the most important things in this era. Only by solving these two problems can the Empire effectively control the overseas colonies and avoid the estrangement between the colonies and the Empire due to the distance.

After ten laps around Qingzhou City, the plane landed at the airport. The test flight ended perfectly.

After rewarding the technicians and workers who participated in the aircraft manufacturing, Xiao Ming led the ministers back by car.

On the way back, Xiao Ming asked Pang Yukun to plan the airport construction of the empire from now on, instead of waiting for the plane to come out.

At the same time, he also asked the Empire to remove all the meaningless walls except some valuable walls, so as not to affect the traffic road construction.

In addition, they discussed the welfare system of the Empire.

Over the past 20 years of industrialization, in fact, the biggest change in the Empire was the living standard of the people. From the past when they were short of food and clothing, to now when every family in the empire is not short of fish and new clothes every year, the overall living standard of the Empire has already surpassed that of Europe, even a hundred years ahead.

After all, in addition to military industry and heavy industry, Xiao Ming also brought modern food industry and all kinds of light industry here.
