However, the Qi army quickly adjusted the specific tactics. The Qi army asked the guerrillas to use campfires to guide the airships in the air raid on the night of the air raid, and then five piles of campfires were arranged to form an arrow to indicate the target direction for the airships in the air.

And the Qi National Air Force is also conducting night air strike training. They will conduct a flight at [-] paces in the air, and after crossing the front line, they will quickly descend to a height of [-] paces so that they can clearly see the ground indicating targets.

At the same time, in order to form better formations at night, the Qi State Air Force specially imported a batch of flashlights. This batch of flashlights will be used for the first time on the airships of the Qi State Air Force. Some glass mirrors are specially installed on the airbags of the airships to use the reflection of these glass mirrors. The pilots who maintain a certain flight distance for air strikes have a hundred hours of mature pilots to complete it

The Air Force of Qi State is in the midst of intense preparations, but the Army of Qin knows nothing about it. The fifth airport used the flexible special field between airports to attack opponents. This situation was quickly caught by espionage.

The news comes from the change of the chef's logistics and the construction of the airport. The Qi army must act quickly to carry out air strikes. Otherwise, the longer the time delay, the more disadvantageous the Qi army will be. Because at that time, the air combat troops of the Qin army will become more and more scattered, and the airship attack will be more difficult. increase

A squadron of the Qin army is often divided into three squadrons. There is always a squadron of three squadrons that is split up and dispatched to other areas for support. The remaining one is kept on alert and ready. Air power exists but cannot be carried out against the side of the air attack

But this problem was finally solved by the Qi army, that is, the night air raids. The aircraft equipped by the Qin army are not all-weather fighters. In fact, the Qin army has some examples of night battles, but it has not developed all-weather fighters, especially the existence of night fighters. It is very important to know the technology. The same is true of night flight, which is difficult to break through. The Qin army needs to find a suitable technology to solve this problem, but it is precisely this that allows the Qi army to fully grasp the weakness. Night air strikes have become the top secret tactic of Qi's air force operations. Night battles will be fought in the air. staged in

667 Liquid Rocket Technology

The state of Qin not only developed radio technology, but also made a new breakthrough in one technology

As early as the beginning of the use of gunpowder, Qin State had already started to use rocket technology as a weapon, but at that time the main use was military rather than aerospace, but with the development of Qin Guotian, some scientific researchers have begun to explore a technology that can ascend into space

But with the understanding of the atmosphere, some flying enthusiasts and astronomers initially thought that the Qin State could directly reach the moon with an airship aircraft. This idea is very simple, but it simply means that the maximum ceiling of the aircraft is only more than 4000 steps and it is specially modified. The ice at the high altitude of the plane prevents the plane from reaching higher places, and the engine is also turned off because the high-altitude oxygen is getting thinner and thinner. The plane can't reach it, so it can only use hydrogen airships. The airship is too large, so it uses lighter hydrogen balloons as the atmosphere. Persistence is not only courage, sometimes it has to pay some price

The Tian family simply believed that as long as they ascended to the sky without a gun, they could understand space, which directly led to their reckless ascension. Even though Shang Wen and explained the distribution of each atmosphere, they still hoped to tell each other about hydrogen through their intimate knowledge. The ball finally lifted more than [-]. At that time, the two scientists who took off were unconscious, but a mechanical device recorded their final high-altitude record. In the end, the hydrogen balloon burst and the two fell down together with their scientific instrument flight record book. On the ground, Qin State mobilized tens of thousands of troops to search for their remains as much as possible, but in the end they did not find them. In the end, only the above two things were found.

Research always has a price of one kind or another. After that space exploration, the researchers of Qin State finally realized some preliminary analysis of the space atmosphere based on the final records of the flight log book. patient research

On the other hand, weapons researchers in Qin State are worrying about one thing, that is, the development of rocket technology has encountered an unprecedented bottleneck. Qin State is currently equipped with artillery of various calibers, and the range of these artillery has greatly exceeded that of rockets. However, the range cannot be increased again because rockets still use gunpowder as the propellant, and at the same time, there is a big difference in the choice of materials for the rocket body. The body is used as a rocket material, but the actual effect is that the propulsion effect of the gunpowder is not very good. The main reason is that the combustion control of the gunpowder is not easy to master, and the material selection of the projectile body is too heavy. The cast iron material is used, and the lighter aluminum material is used in aviation aircraft. Rocket tech show stalls

However, in the state of Qi, the artisans of the state of Qi developed a large-scale offensive weapon for the Qi army. The Qi army has a large amount of guns and equipment, but it is seriously lacking in artillery. In terms of firepower, the Qi army has always been suppressed by the opponent. Although the Qi army wants to There are many ways to make up for the lack of artillery, such as the development of the simplest "wooden cannon", but in fact the actual offensive effect of this "wooden cannon" is not very obvious. Wooden cannon is not very powerful and the shooting distance is very limited. Usually Only [-] to [-] ranges, this distance is within the range of rifle shooting, so it is easy to be shot by opponents. In addition to wood cannons, craftsmen in Qi also made bronze cannons, but because they did not adopt any pressure casting method, the weight of bronze cannons is usually It takes two oxen to pull

However, the newspapers of the State of Qin gave the artisans of the State of Qi another way of thinking, that is, rockets, a surface-shaped weapon that is launched intensively at one time, made the artisans of the State of Qi ecstatic. They thought they had finally found another lethal weapon.

However, the results of the experiment were somewhat unsatisfactory. The craftsmen of Qi boldly chose the paper tube as the rocket body. The front was made into a conical shape, and the rear was a square mouth. The nozzle craftsmen didn't notice that they didn't see the entity of the Qin rocket, so they didn't know that the Qin rocket used a tapered and widening nozzle technology. The application of this technology made the Qin rocket It has reached a longer range, but the Qi people don't know it

Just when the Qi people were starting a relatively primitive rocket development plan, the Qin people made great progress. Like the Qi people, the Qin people also used gunpowder as a propulsion device, but the chemical reaction of gunpowder as a solid fuel is really difficult to control, which has caused great damage to rocket technology. big obstacle

Since the reaction of solid fuel is too intense, can we find another fuel that can control its combustion reaction?

The answer is yes. Bai Ge was the first scientific researcher in Qin State to propose liquid rocket technology. He is extremely fascinated by rockets, and he is also an astronomy enthusiast. His ideas are somewhat unconstrained and he would rather conquer those lands The vast universe is because the existence of celestial bodies such as Mars and Jupiter can be clearly seen in astronomical telescopes

But how to allow humans to land on these celestial bodies is his concern

As chemical reactions usually take place in liquids, he thought of using liquids as rocket propulsion

Combustion requires fuel and oxygen. Qin State’s liquid oxygen technology only exists in laboratories, hospitals, and large iron and steel chemical companies, but only a few are enough to carry out research progress. The cost of Qin State’s rocket research system will be supported until the experiment is successful.

The rest is the fuel. Vehicles in Qin State are gradually becoming popular. The price of gasoline is also very cheap. This is definitely rocket fuel that is cheaper than gunpowder.

The experiment began. Bai Ge carefully crafted a rocket engine using various metal tubes and metal nozzles. Two tanks filled with gasoline and liquid oxygen were exposed outside. He used a large iron frame as a support.

Due to the use of liquid as the propellant, the rocket can be ignited by electronic ignition

"Three two one ignition" Bai Ge excitedly pressed the electronic ignition device

The fuel is quickly ignited by the electronic lighter, and the jet is ignited, and then the size of the valve is controlled remotely. The rocket jet makes a "whoosh" sound. The force meter of the test shows that the thrust of thousands of stones is generated in an instant. It is successful.

Although Qin State has made a breakthrough in liquid rockets, it still takes some time to enter the actual orbit, but if war factors are added, war is like a very strange catalyst, he can always give birth to some terrifying weapons, and these weapons can gradually change. battlefield

The situation on the battlefield on the Eastern Front has quietly changed. The Qi army has gradually narrowed the gap in weapons, especially some light weapons. The Qi army has even surpassed the Yan army. On the contrary, the Yan army is only equipped with some single-shot valve rifles and has no achievements in artillery. The technology is still at the same level as a year ago, but the number of artillery pieces has increased, and other things have not changed.

The number of artillery self-developed by the Qi army has exceeded the timing of the Qi army's counterattack. The most important thing is that the Qi army has its own air force, while the Yan army only has the army's air force. After solving the air support of the Qin army, the Qi army's counterattack can begin.

The Air Force of Qi State has already launched a plan to attack the Qin Army's airfield, and there are still a large number of counterattacks to match it.

The Qin Army's air force attendance has reached saturation, and it is impossible to send enough forces to conduct ground reconnaissance. When problems arise, the reconnaissance always goes wrong first, because the judgment of the enemy's situation always comes from here.

The Qi army began to assemble on a large scale without the Qin army's air reconnaissance force, but the Yan army and the Qin army observation group on the front line subjectively judged that it was a normal mobilization of the front line. very normal

The mobilization of the Qi army brought in almost all the forces, even the bulky bronze curved gun and a kind of heavy mortar. This artillery can fire a heavy ten-stone shell. The shell is made of parchment and paper. There are more than nine stones of black powder in the barrel package, which is powerful enough to blow down the blockhouses of civil structures. Although his range is a little close to only about [-] steps, he can deploy trenches in trenches, which can provide effective concealment.

The balance of war has shifted and the stalemate pattern of the battlefield is about to change

"Take off" a Qi Army ground crew untied the cable and the airship slowly lifted into the air

"Bombing the Qin Army" "Bombing the Qin Army" The ground crew and pilots didn't know until the last moment that their goal was to bomb the Qin Army's airfield, but they were not surprised at all for the simple reason that their training has always been night flight training training on the ground There must be fires to show them where to go and finally focus on the bombs under a huge circle of fire

For this air raid on Qi State, about 92 airships of various types have been assembled. This number is already quite large. These airships will be divided into three formations to attack the Qin State Airport located within the control area of ​​Yan State.

In order to be able to accurately find the ground targets on the opposite side of the Yan State-controlled area, the Qi army lit up the ground marks consisting of five piles of bonfires on the road where the airship passed.

"Sign to tell them to pay attention to the formation." After speaking, a Qi army pilot took out a flashlight and shook it up and down, and then the other airships used kerosene dots to signal with the help of the weak reflection of the lens. This is the method of communication for the Qi army to maintain formation.

It took half an hour for the airship to cross the front line. After entering the front line, it didn't take long for them to find the ground signal mark composed of five bonfires, which meant that the guerrillas had already started their mission.

Don't look at this is the area controlled by the Yan Army. In fact, the scope of activities of the Yan Army is very limited. Supply bases, supply roads, front-line county towns, and other places, they will not take the initiative to enter, because guerrilla organizations, large and small, are spreading everywhere. These organizations are always elusive. The ambush of the Yan army caught the Yan army by surprise, especially the morale of the recruits and their formal appearance, which would cause these recruits to be defeated and hunted down one by one. The Yan army had no choice but to adopt a large formation, otherwise they would be eaten by the opponent one by one

Bonfires of different sizes and sizes began to appear in the controlled area of ​​Yan State. These bonfires are like stars guiding the airship to its target.

The Qin army’s airfield and the Qi army’s defenses on the periphery have independent trenches and barbed wire systems, while in the core area is the Qin army’s airfield, and barbed wire mines are arranged around the airport. The airport has independent power generation equipment, which provides the entire airport with night The lighting mainly provides the lighting of the Qin Army's dormitory, the airport grid and four small searchlights. It is these searchlights and lighting systems that expose Qin Jun's position to the opponent.

Qin Jun doesn't know what blackout is. Who would have thought that Qi Jun would boldly attack Qin Jun's airport with fighter jets equipped with machine guns? Didn't expect that there would be a chance to form a surprise attack.

"What's that?" A corporal of the Qin Army Marine Corps vigilantly looked around the dark surroundings with a telescope. He suddenly found something unusual around him, and then he used the telescope to look around.

"Looks like fire," a second-class soldier replied.

"No, it seems like a will-o'-the-wisp," the second-rank soldier changed his words in fear

"No, it's definitely not a will-o'-the-wisp, but there seem to be several piles of flames." The corporal checked other locations vigilantly.

"It seems that there are more and more, so there must be some kind of attack." The corporal is definitely very abnormal, and his vigilance is right.

The guerrillas have already started to ignite all the fires that have been prepared around the airport. After these fires are lit, a huge fire circle will be formed. Inside the fire circle is the airport of the Qin people. Of course, this has to be seen from the air.

"Quickly report to the officer," the corporal immediately ordered, and soon Qin Jun ordered Yan Jun in the periphery to check the situation of those fires. Even if Yan Jun was killed, he would not take the initiative to attack in the dark, because the possibility of being attacked by the opponent in the dark night is very high. They just To symbolically shoot those fires with rifles is already a duty to them

"Did you see that big circle? We're here and ready to drop the bomb." After speaking, the pilot flashed five quick flashlights with the flashlight to pay attention to the bomb

"What to do, those flames are getting more and more," said the sergeant major

"What do the people of Qi want to do? Are those damn guerrillas eyeing us?" The Qin army officer still couldn't figure out what Qi wanted to do.

"Use machine guns to shoot all those places where there is fire," the officer gave the order hastily

The "chug chug" machine guns started to fire
