Red Alert 1895

Chapter 985 – Air Show

Wang Guorui’s son’s 100-day banquet officially started soon, and the scale of this banquet was obviously not too large. It’s just a 100-day banquet for a couple of princes and princesses, so naturally it won’t be anything special, so it’s not suitable to hold it too grandly. That is to say, it is enough to invite some ordinary senior officials and some nobles with titles, instead of directly making it known to the world. However, this banquet is still small and refined, and there will actually be various dance performances to follow.

In fact, most of these dance performances were arranged by the director, and Wang Guorui did not directly ask. Even then they all started performing, but Wang Guorui actually didn’t like to watch these performances, especially since he wasn’t very elegant, but he didn’t arrange them at the right time either. Because of this kind of royal banquet, of course it is not suitable to order it casually. Just like the Spring Festival Gala of later generations, although most people are not very interested in various dances, in fact there are still various dances. This kind of performance is actually a hodgepodge, and there are many things to balance. Otherwise, it won’t work if you focus exclusively on one art form. If it is said that language programs are for ordinary people, some of them are for the upper class in society. In fact, there are all kinds of programs. Wang Guorui is also not suitable for arranging programs directly according to his own ideas, otherwise other types of programs will survive like this in the future? The above is good and the bottom is effective. Once I deliberately click on a certain type of program, then there will definitely be a wave of imitation, so that the development of other programs will also be worrying. So although Wang Guorui actually doesn’t like many dances, he has to make some embellishments, otherwise these types of programs will not be able to develop.

“Your Majesty, we have a special program coming up. Would you like to watch it? It was arranged by the equipment department. Your Majesty must have never seen it or even heard of it!” the director said immediately.

“Oh? I haven’t seen or heard of something?” Wang Guorui asked.

The director immediately arranged for the command in the distance, and after a few minutes, a burst of mechanical roar sounded immediately. The people around obviously didn’t think of this situation, and they checked everywhere to find out what it was. And when everyone was fast, a lot of electric lights flickered around. However, these electric lights were directly reflected into the sky with reflected light, and they were immediately illuminated as if they were daylight within a local area. This made everyone quite curious as to why. So many lights shine directly into the sky, isn’t this a waste of electricity?

However, when Wang Guorui heard the roar, he immediately thought of something.

“Is this an airplane?” Wang Guorui asked.

“Oh? Your majesty is wise. A few days ago, someone from the equipment department came to me and said that there had been new progress in the research and development of the aircraft. In this way, let me perform for the emperor. It can be regarded as a performance for the emperor’s princes and princesses for a hundred days. This time, it is really good. This is the first time in the world, performing in the air, this is a human flying a plane like a bird, this is really the first time in the world!” said the director.

The director was also quite excited, because this time he directed the performance, and this director joined the air show. We must know that the ancient people in the past could not really control the flying performance by manpower, although some people could perform so-called performances by relying on kites or other things to sway some things on high buildings. But this is involuntary, not really flying into the sky to perform. This is the first flight show for human beings. Although he is not a professional director, it is enough for him to be recorded in history, enough to be famous in history.

“Look, the sky, the sky! What is that? What is that?” Someone immediately pointed to the sky and asked.

Everyone saw the sky, and there were actually three planes flying in the sky. Except for a very small number of senior military officers and senior government officials, it was the first time for others to see this plane, which shocked them all. Human beings can actually fly in the sky. Although this plane can only fly at a height of tens of meters, it is enough to make people feel extremely shocked. Especially on this flight, it seems that there is still a special performance, which makes everyone feel surprised.

“Your Majesty, the current aircraft can stay in the air for more than 20 minutes, and the reliability has also increased a lot. Don’t be afraid of any accidents. The aircraft diesel engine has made great progress, the power has been increased, and it will not be easily damaged, etc. Problem. And we have adopted dual-engine technology, so that the life safety of the pilot can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. And our aircraft can already complete several important duties, such as close-range reconnaissance of the enemy. Tactical reconnaissance of the enemy, If there is any enemy move in the opposite position, then we can conduct tactical reconnaissance. Of course, we have another important reason, we can conduct artillery calibration. If the artillery conducts calibration, we can save shells as much as possible, and we can start as soon as possible Time to attack the enemy!”

Wang Guorui nodded. This plane is actually ready for initial use. Although it is not widely used at present, for example, the tactics are really bad, but the strategic reconnaissance is still beyond its capabilities. This reconnaissance plane not only has a small load, but also has a very short range, so it cannot be used for long-range reconnaissance. Another reason is actually the artillery school shooting. This artillery calibration can improve the accuracy of artillery shooting. This method of calibrating in the air was also used in hot air balloons back then. So it’s not surprising that the plane’s calibration is even safer, and it won’t be easily hit by the enemy. Moreover, this aircraft calibration can be observed from many aspects and angles, so it does not have many limitations like a hot air balloon.

“woo woo woo woo…”

Immediately, bursts of silvery metal foils floated down from the plane, and this silvery metal foil made the light shining in the sky be reflected by the metal foils, so that Let everyone see it too.

This light shining towards the sky not only ensures that there is enough light in this airspace, but also ensures the safety and navigation of the pilots. On the other hand, there are also reflections from the inside of the metal foil, which makes everyone feel silvery and full of luxury.

“Your Majesty, this is not silver foil, but tin foil. We know that the emperor is thrifty and won’t waste it at this time, so we used tin foil. Tin foil is not expensive, the price is relatively low, and the effect is almost as good as silver foil. Foil, so I used tin foil in this way, which is full of luxury!” said the director.

And then, after the three planes sprinkled the tin foil, they sprinkled some flower petals. The petals made everyone feel like they were scattering flowers from the sky, like a celestial girl scattering flowers, as if they were in a fairyland.

“Good! Good, great! Great! Wonderful, wonderful!”…

When did the guests present see this, and it made them all feel wonderful. In this era, you have never seen any aerial performances at all, and you have never really felt any flying aerial performances. Now, although this is just some flowers in the air and some ordinary tinfoil, it is enough to make everyone feel happy. It also felt very exciting. The most important thing about this air show is a “novelty”. No one has seen it before, and this is the most important thing. If there is no novelty, then this performance is actually nothing, similar to those high-altitude swaying various things.

“woo woo woo woo…”

Finally, the three planes suddenly separated, and then two of them were grouped together, and the other was grouped alone. And which one is a group of aircraft, and starts to fly in the air according to a certain direction. The exhaust port at the back of the plane suddenly ejected some golden smoke, and this smoke formed a skim, which seemed to be a special wake.

And when everyone didn’t know what was going on, the yellow smoke stopped spouting, indicating that the smoke could be controlled by itself. But soon, the smoke gushed out again, this time it was Yiheng. Only then did everyone understand that this plane is actually going to write in the sky?

“They actually want to write in the sky~www.mtlnovel.com~ It’s amazing! Yes! They can actually write in the sky? Look, those two planes are also writing. One wrote a word ‘mountain’, and the other wrote What does the word ‘Xi’ mean?”

“The other plane, which was a single group, suddenly accelerated, then changed course, turned 45 degrees, and then started spraying this yellow smoke again.

And the last stroke was written, and then everyone understood what the word was.

“Thousands? Oh, they are the word “thousands”, so it is for the prince and princess to celebrate the hundredth day!” Only then did everyone understand.

In ancient times, princes and princesses were often called “Thousands of Years”, and these two words were not difficult to write, so they were also very shocked that this plane was made out in the air. They never thought that this plane could be played like this. Even those who saw this kind of plane for the first time were very excited. This is definitely the first group of people who saw the air performance of the plane. Even this kind of novelty is enough to make many people find it interesting, and even more people have begun to speculate about the usefulness of this aircraft besides performing. Even some well-informed foreigners sent the news back home by telegram. (To be continued.)
