And there is no need to change weapons during combat. You can switch seamlessly with one click, allowing you to adapt to the battlefield more quickly.

At the same time, as the size of the army increases, battalion-level units are not enough. According to the current deployment of 20,000 people, there will be twenty battalion units.

Later, when the number increases to 50,000, there will be fifty battalion-level units. This will cause certain inconveniences in command and control, so command units at the next level will also be deployed accordingly.

Above the normal battalion level are regiment-level units. However, considering that the Qingyuan Army is not organized according to normal standards, the normal regiment level only has about a thousand people, but now there are more than a thousand in a battalion.

Therefore, the directly superior units are divided into brigade levels, with five battalions and one brigade. If they continue to be upgraded later, they will be three brigades and one division. The final establishment of 50,000 people will be three divisions and one independent brigade.

The mission of this independent brigade is to be permanently stationed in Qingyuan City to perform defense work, and other troops are assigned to other front areas.

The current 20,000 people are divided into four brigades, and there is no division-level unit.

At the same time, at the end of March, the first batch of production tanks, assault vehicles, and self-propelled artillery rolled off the assembly line, and a total of more than 30 vehicles were incorporated into the combat team.

This quantity can barely equip a company. According to Gudern's organization arrangement, the fully mechanized battalion will need at least twelve tanks, thirty assault vehicles of different types and twelve self-propelled artillery. as an upgrade.

There is a slight adjustment to the original combat scale, but judging from the current production speed, it will take at least four and a half months to complete the upgrade task of a brigade.

Although this speed is slow, the improvement is also exponential.

At the same time, during the upgrade period, good news also came from the military research institute. The battery was successfully developed and the aircraft's first flight mission can begin!

Chapter 225 Test flight, the beginning of war

The birth of the battery and the readiness for the first flight, these two good news came together, which made Gooden a little happy.

Immediately sent a message to the Academy of Sciences, asking them to go to the test site of the Military Academy to inspect and check the operation of the experimental aircraft.

Although the battery is important, the first flight of the aircraft is also very meaningful, and you still need to go there first.

With the increasing development of Qingyuan City, the area within the city is no longer enough for new buildings to be developed.

At the same time, the same is true for a research institute that requires a lot of production and space. Fortunately, the surrounding terrain is relatively gentle, and expansion can be done by simply removing the woods and shrubs.

For example, the large-scale testing grounds for development and production are not in the city, but in venues outside the city.

In order to facilitate the interaction between the city and outside the city, Gudern also asked Chaofan to help dismantle a section of the city wall and replace it with a steel movable city wall. The two sections of the city wall were ten meters long and weighed thousands of tons.

It can be closed when there is danger to resist the enemy, but it is open under normal circumstances. During this period, there are liftable rails and roads that connect the inside and outside of the city to keep the transportation of materials smooth.

After receiving the news, Gooden arrived at the testing venue as soon as possible.

In the center of a test platform with a circular radius of ten meters, a simple and extremely simple 'Shi'-shaped aircraft is parked at the moment.

As for how crude it is, it can be said that except for the main frame, all other parts of the experimental aircraft are exposed, and even the cockpit is exposed and open.

After all, this is an experiment to test engine-controlled flight. It does not require a whole body. As long as it can fly and be controlled, then subsequent filling and modification will naturally be no problem.

Seeing Gudern's arrival, Eden stepped forward to report.

"Master, all inspections of the first flight test mission have been completed and can start at any time."

After looking at the aircraft in the field, Gudern nodded and responded.

"let's start."

"yes!"

With Gudern's permission, Eden signaled the ready flight testers to board the aircraft and begin the first flight mission.

Where in this world can there be such directness as a pilot? As someone who is participating in a flight for the first time and a researcher selected from the institute, after all, it is the first time to fly. No one knows how unreliable this thing is, and it is different from the simulator on the ground. The feedback is different.

If the pilots were not protected by various magic props, this kind of uncertain test mission might really cost their lives.

After putting on the protective helmet, the flight tester entered the cockpit with the guidance and help of other researchers, fastened the seat belt, activated the power unit engine, and was ready to start testing.

Since the magic structure is irreversible during operation, it has brought some difficulties to the research. However, subsequent researchers also found a solution, which is to control the output and frequency of the magic elements. In this way, combined with the mechanical structure, it can perfectly Achieve 'real-time' control and change of magic equipment.

This kind of technology makes the design of flight control much easier.

With the help of machinery, magic charging began to proceed slowly, and was supplied to the engines one by one under the operation of the pilot.

The knight-shaped aircraft has a total of eight magic engines. Under special mechanical fixation, these eight magic engines can rotate 180 degrees, and each engine weighs less than 200 kilograms. It can be said that the entire aircraft Even if the skin and other structures are added together, the weight is probably less than fifteen tons at most.

But this is a version driven purely by magic without the installation of technological equipment.

At the same time, each of the eight engines can be moved forward and backward 180 degrees, and the left and right changes can be up to 15 degrees, which can provide the aircraft with unparalleled special capabilities, that is, vertical takeoff and landing, without the need for an extremely long runway to taxi. take off.

Even with such a design, the engine can be pointed forward for rapid deceleration, and it can even fly backwards if necessary. Of course, these are theoretically possible data. As for the actual situation, we have to wait until the end of this experiment. Only then can we know.

As the pilot activated the eight engines, a special buzzing sound came from the inside of the engine. It was the inner blades that were rotating under the blessing of wind magic. This design is to ensure that the subsequent magical thrust can be faster, and it is also behind In order to ensure that when the magic is lost, it relies on electricity to drive the important core of deceleration and landing.

After everything is confirmed to be ready, the test pilot gives instructions from the magic communication.

"Everything is normal. Do you want to proceed with the next takeoff and hover test?"

"Agreed, the flight hovering height is five meters."

"clear."

The next command target was also given on the test bench. After receiving the agreement, the pilot took a deep breath, slowly pushed the throttle lever on the left hand side, and continued to increase the engine output until it took off and hovered.

The eight magic engines with downward nozzles emit a faint blue light when the throttle is increased, but this thing is not a real flame, but a jet wake after various magic blessings.

Even the people who were about ten meters away from the test bench could still clearly feel the impact wind that spread out after the wake of the magic jet hit the ground.

Under the strong wind, no one at the scene avoided it. They stared at the aircraft with wide eyes, watching how it took off.

Under the watchful eyes of a circle of people, the ten-meter-long experimental aircraft began to slowly lift off the ground. As the height above the ground became higher and higher, when it reached nearly five meters, the pilot slightly reduced the engine's throttle. Ensure that it can hover stably at this height.

At the same time, four of the engine ports on the two wings were slightly adjusted inward to ensure that they could be stable in one position without being moved by external interference.

Seeing the successfully hovering aircraft, everyone's eyes were filled with joy, and when the pilot heard from the cockpit that it would be okay, they almost shouted in excitement.

"Reporting the flight situation, everything is normal at present, the operation is normal, the flight altitude is stable at five meters, please request instructions for the next mission."

As the general person in charge, Eden was very excited when he saw this scene. He directly passed over the correspondent and personally issued the next task to the test pilot.

"The next test is to hover and move five meters to the left."

"clear."

As the command was issued, the pilot slightly reduced the output power of the inwardly tilted engine on the right side. As a result, the thrust on the left side suddenly increased, and the test aircraft suspended in mid-air began to slowly drift to the left.

Although the entire cockpit is very simple, there is no shortage of necessary equipment, such as altitude detection or distance detection equipment.

After the test pilot reached the designated position, he left the operation of the right engine to increase the power to maintain a balance between the output on both sides and continue to hover stably.

After all the simple flight tests are completed, some more difficult task arrangements will follow.

For example, increase the height to ten meters, turn off the engine to trigger fall protection, or hover at a difficult tilt angle to ensure transportation in extreme environments, etc.

However, after one lap of testing, the aircraft did not enter the next stage of long-distance flight testing and some maneuvering tests.

This part of the test task needs to be done later after adding skin to the whole body. However, judging from the current test situation, the control of the aircraft is very suitable and there are no problems.

Watching the end of the test from the beginning, and watching the behemoth in front of him slowly land again, Gooden was very excited.

As a cross-era vehicle, this thing is even more abnormal than combat vehicles and tanks.

Gudern looked at Eden aside and began to ask about the next arrangements.

"The first flight test has been completed, and the next step is the wind tunnel test task. How is the construction status of the underground wind tunnel site now?"

"The construction of the wind tunnel has basically been completed. Now we are doing the final debugging work. It is expected that after the test machine is covered with skin, it can be directly put into aerodynamic experiments."

As an overall task, Eaton is responsible for everything related to serving the aircraft, including some test sites and construction.

"The structural design will be completed as soon as possible so that the complete first flight mission can be completed as soon as possible."

"clear."

During the test, Buck had also come to the venue to watch.

After assigning Eden the task, Gooden looked at Buck.

"How does it feel?"

"It's very shocking. Although I already knew the function and principle of the aircraft in advance, I still have an indescribable feeling when I see the birth of the real thing."

"This is the charm of the combination of machinery and magic, and with the power of technology added later, the potential of this thing will exceed your imagination."

Gudern looked at the re-landing and docking aircraft in front of him, explained with a smile on his face, and then turned the topic to business.

"Please report the battery condition."

"Okay, Master." Buck nodded and began to report the battery data and test results to him.

"After the magical high-frequency transformation material inside, the battery storage density is increased by as much as 167 times compared to the previous first-generation version."

"According to the magic engine sent by the Military Research Institute, after modification and conversion, a one kilogram battery can provide it with up to three minutes of operating time without affecting the original data."

"And the maximum duct thrust of a single engine can reach 120 kN, which translates into a thrust of 12.24 tons."

This data was also very surprising to Gudern, who was not fully involved.

After all, there is bound to be energy loss in the process of power conversion. Compared with the magic engine, the full thrust of a single engine is only 210 kilonewtons. It can be said that an engine driven by electricity can achieve nearly half of the thrust.

With such efficient conversion and output, even Gooden could not have expected such excellent data.

And the most important thing is the battery life. One kilogram of battery can provide three minutes of operation. Eight engines, even if one ton of batteries are installed to provide power output, can provide eight engines with up to three thousand minutes of operation. of power operation.

Even on average, each engine can run for more than six hours.

“Can the engine upgrade and modification process be streamlined and mass-produced?”

"It should be no problem, but it will take a certain amount of time to study and prepare."

"Yes, try to complete it before the next first flight of the aircraft and directly participate in the test mission."

Regarding the arrangement of these tasks, Gooden also hopes to complete them all during the next official first flight, and complete all test tasks at once.

Seeing the busy engineers and researchers on the tarmac nervously checking the conditions of various parts, Gooden was even more looking forward to the emergence of this powerful vehicle.

However, he was not happy for long. The troops who were conducting reconnaissance and surveillance outside the territory's borders sent a piece of bad news.

"Master, urgent communication from the frontline reconnaissance force. The rebels have three vanguard armies of more than 200,000 people who have passed through the buffer zone and gone straight to Yunquan City, Jinbei City and other border cities."

Faced with this news, Gudern had already expected it, and immediately returned to the military camp command room, summoned personnel, and began to prepare to deal with the rebels.

With a mighty team of more than three million people, as long as they are not blind, they can basically find each other.

The God's Family were not fools either. After understanding that Qingyuan was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, they directly used manpower to divide their troops and attack Qingyuan from three directions.
