Chapter 1143 1144 Great Development of Civil Aviation

In fact, at the beginning of the birth of modern aviation, the aircraft food was still very rich and delicious.This is really not a bragging, but a fact.And it's not just the plane meals, but all the supporting services are very advanced.

In the era when air tickets were very expensive, every flight attendant airline would carefully select them, and the quality was only higher than some current traffic stars.Each one is gentle and sexy, ensuring that the scenery that passengers see on the plane is absolutely eye-catching.

In addition, the supporting facilities of the airport were definitely better than that of the train station at that time, and the ticket buyers were all ex-stewardesses who had retired to the second line.

The food on the plane is even more exaggerated. Many people may not have imagined that smoking was allowed on the plane back then, and champagne, red wine, beer and even Moutai were also provided on the plane!right!You heard that right!Moutai!

Airplane meals on various routes include lobster, sashimi, snails, steak...some even exaggerated appetizers and desserts.No kidding, even a lot of food is fresh. In order to ensure the quality of passengers' meals, the plane even stops at the airport to ensure the stability of passengers' meals.

That's right, in that era, eating on the plane was indeed a kind of enjoyment. Now the airline's ordering service was not exclusive to VIP first class in that era, but belonged to all people who took the plane!
The problem is that in order to cut costs, the airlines cut off additional services, the easiest part to cut, and now flying by plane has become no different from taking trains at that time.

In fact, because of the cost reduction, civilians can also take off the plane, and the air ticket is already comparable to the train ticket when it is discounted. This is why more and more modern people choose to travel by air.

Now, in an era when an aircraft costs more than 2000 million gold coins, the service of the aircraft must be in place.Tang country's jet airliner is really too expensive, so expensive that ordinary people must not be able to afford it.

Since ordinary people definitely cannot buy air tickets, it is better to book more expensive air tickets.In this way, the quality of service can be improved, so that the actual consumer groups feel that the value for money is excellent.

No one would have imagined that a civil aviation airliner could compete with a warship in price.But in fact, when these reporters saw the plane, their first reaction was "not expensive"!
That's right, this plane is really beautiful, with a milky white fuselage equipped with two huge jet engines, swept back wings and a row of round portholes... It is like a swan spreading its wings in front of people, with its head held high.

It is so much bigger than the Type 47 that it needs a dedicated gangway. After its hugeness was presented in front of everyone, the reporters even forgot to raise their cameras.

When people walk into the interior of this plane, they realize how advanced this thing is: it has an independent kitchen and is equipped with 5 well-trained stewardesses to provide full service, and every seat is extremely spacious, sitting on it is simply a kind of enjoyment!
Compared with the past hours in the fuselage with even the wind leaking and the loud engine noise, the journey on this kind of aircraft is undoubtedly blissful and full of novelty.

Plus, it's fast!It can shorten a whole day's trip to a morning!It can fly at an altitude of more than 8000 meters, a height that most active fighters cannot easily control.

The brand-new aircraft is equipped with advanced search radar, altitude radar to ensure flight altitude safety, and advanced radio navigation equipment, which can realize "automatic flight" in a certain sense.

Its technology is too advanced, so advanced that it is not a product of the same era as the previous Type 47 airliner, which seemed to have a strong sense of cheapness.

Yes, they are in fact not a product of an era!The brand new aircraft is actually Boeing's most successful project, the "737" narrow-body airliner.It is more mature and safer than other companies' products at the beginning of its birth.

The Boeing airliner back then was really too powerful, and it had almost no rivals until the birth of Airbus!
It's a pity that in order to compete with Airbus, Boeing took the old path of McDonnell Douglas, and began to save costs and transform the mature airframe design, and finally changed the safe and mature 737 airliner into a "suicide aircraft" with plummeting safety performance.

But this does not mean that there is a problem with the early models of the 737. In fact, the early models of the 737 are still very safe and very classic airliners.

Datang Group seems to be very professional in how to use a seemingly ordinary plane crash to sell its products.

Airlines adopting brand-new aircraft will be given priority to obtain the industry's high-quality standards issued by the Civil Aviation Division of Datang Group, and will obtain safety certification.

Only such companies are eligible to maintain air routes to Datang Empire Airport: in other words, within the next three years, only jet airliners will be allowed to operate within the territory of Datang Empire.

Because if you do not actively purchase advanced and safe new passenger aircraft, you will be irresponsible for the safety of passengers!Irresponsible companies are not qualified to operate in the Datang Empire.

You can say that this is hegemony, it is unreasonable, the standard within the feasible is the case!Without the safety qualification certification issued by Datang Group, you are not a recognized company in the industry!
Top-notch companies set the standard!It's a pity that the standards of almost all industries are set by the Datang Group, and Tang Mo is the industry standard. Only the companies he approves can continue to survive in a certain industry.

……

On the new island, the bulldozers have not yet left. On a launch site that has just been built, 5 Scud missile launch vehicles are erecting the missiles on their backs.

Although it is planned to transport 200 Scud missiles to Niijima to participate in the war, it cannot be launched after all the missiles are in place, right?

In fact, after 10 missiles and 5 launch vehicles landed, the Datang Empire was already preparing to use these missiles to attack the capital of Mirage Kingdom.

"The coordinates are confirmed!" Frankly speaking, the use of Scud missiles in this era is still very troublesome.The Tang Empire did not intend to waste any more time on this backward missile model, so the investment was very limited.

After the complicated and cumbersome determination of the coordinates of the missile, the missile soldiers wearing gas masks began to fill the missile with liquid fuel.

The weather is already very hot now, and it is quite uncomfortable to wear a biochemical protective suit and a gas mask.But there is no other way, the work of refueling is full of dangers, and the biochemical protective clothing is the last layer of protection for these soldiers.

The scuds that arrived first were all equipped with cloud bomb warheads. This kind of warhead is so powerful that it is called the mother of bombs.

Before the birth of the atomic bomb, it was probably the most powerful bomb. Five missiles loaded with such warheads are almost ready to launch at this moment.

A few hours later, Feng Kezhi received a report that the missiles were ready, and he issued an attack order. The five Scud missiles almost all spewed out their tail flames, left the missile launcher, and flew towards the sea level.

Soon the warning radar on Mirage Main Island discovered these extremely fast targets: because the speed of these targets was too fast, the orbits had never appeared.

It is still very easy for radar to detect such high-altitude projectile targets, but it is not known what Mirage can do.

The Zero Fighter Unit, which had been trying to intercept the Tang Army's jet bombers, was indeed notified, but they were told that the operation had been cancelled, before they even flew near Mirage.

Because Mirage was hit by missiles, Mirage already knew what the things that needed to be intercepted were.So they no longer need Zero fighters to intercept, so the operation was directly cancelled.

Five powerful cloud bombs fell in Mirage City, destroying houses and buildings just by impact.The warheads that exploded sent flying the entire block, and those seemingly insecure civilian buildings turned into ruins amidst the shock.

The most unlucky thing was the mansion of Mirage Navy Admiral Mirage Ping: it was hit directly by a cloud bomb, and Mirage Ping's whole family died in the explosion.

Mirage Ping had to hold a meeting in the base camp and deploy a suicide speedboat in the headquarters these days, so he didn't go home, so he escaped unharmed.

But besides him, his old mother had a wife and a concubine. Seven or eight children were buried under the rubble, and they hadn't breathed when they were discovered.

Later that day, when the second batch of Scud missiles struck, Mirage seemed to be undefended at all, and was once again wiped out by 5 cloud bombs.

The huge explosion made the ground tremble. Even in the underground bunker, Mirage and his ministers could still feel the powerful power of the new bomb.

As the prime minister, Mirage Dabo urged Mirage to move the headquarters to a more secluded suburb, away from the big target of Mirage.

For security reasons, Mirage Ping and Mirage Wuke both support this suggestion.But Mirage is still very hesitant: once he leaves, the morale of the army and the people will be completely over.

You said that your king has run away, what about the princess and the royal family?Follow or stay?If you follow... what about the family members of the ministers?
In fact, if you put it in the past, it's nothing to take it away, it's just a little more troublesome.But now the problem is not so simple: the Datang Air Force has been investigating all the time, and the fleeing with the family can't hide it from the other party. Wouldn't it expose yourself in turn?
Fortunately, in the evening, the expected third round of blows did not come, which saved Mirage from worrying about whether to run away.

However, on the radio, the news that the Datang Group is committed to the development of civilian technology and does not want technology to be used in the military field first, still broke the defense of the mirage king.

He dropped the radio and swore until he nearly lost his strength before stopping.
