Chapter 333 333 Expensive Training

Tang Mo actually believes in metaphysics recently. Now he is a little apprehensive about titles such as principal and island owner. After all, these things are really not very auspicious to be honest.

However, he could only endure it, because all his direct descendants came from the Datang Military Academy, and it didn't seem right not to call him the principal.

There is no way, they are all following the path of confidants, and they are all taking the path of talent cultivation, so they can only accept the title of principal honestly, can't they?
But with the addition of dragon lairs, buildings, etc., Tang Mo felt that he had been fully stacked with debuffs recently, which belonged to the kind of people who wanted to die...

He tried hard to change something, but finally found that he couldn't change anything. He couldn't let all his subordinates call him master. He wasn't so narcissistic yet.

But what not to call the master?If I had to choose another majestic word, I would call it head of state... Well, this address Tang Mo is just a casual thought, and I think it is not as comfortable as the principal.

Really, the word head of state is not a big deal in another world nowadays, but in the world Tang Mo is familiar with, if it is not used in conjunction with the country, it will be creepy.

On Long Island, Tang Mo once again devoted himself to the busy technology research and development activities. Under his personal leadership, the engineers gathered here in advance are busy designing various types of gliders.

Aviation is not like the technology on the ground and on the sea. Although these technologies are avant-garde and advanced, there are still some talent reserves.

For example, although car drivers only appeared after the birth of cars, there were definitely many coachmen and coachmen before.

They have the feeling of driving a car, what they lack is just some proficiency.In this case, as long as a simple training, reform their habits, you can quickly get a car driver.

Almost the same, although the ship has not been born for a long time, there are still many sailors. Those old sailors who have been traveling at sea all the year round can continue to work on the new ship as long as they adapt a little.

But airplanes are different. Airplanes are definitely a new thing. There is no superman who flew in the sky in advance in this world.

What Tang Mo knew was that although there were dwarves, elves, orcs, and even ugly half-human, half-monster creatures like demi-human goblins in this world, they really didn't have superpowers like magic.

These species can only learn physics and mathematics honestly, master technology and rely on their own labor to work.

In Tang Mo's memory, the kind of magician who flies against the wind and can shoot fireballs with a wave of his hand in film and television works does not exist at all.

And the legendary giant dragon was completely extinct tens of thousands of years ago because of the rise of mammals.That ancient creature relied on laying eggs to reproduce, but when they went out to forage, those eggs became the easiest food for small mammals.

In the end, there were fewer and fewer monsters that used to live alone, and they were hunted down by early human elves and other species, and their complete extinction became history.

Tang Mo also tried to find a real dragon, but in the end he only got some souvenirs such as claws and scales... Of course, there are also fossils, and there is a complete dragon skeleton in the collection room of his dragon lair.

It's a pity that this thing has nothing to do with the dragon Tang Mo is familiar with...even the western dragon.It is more like the Fengshen pterosaur, with a huge wingspan for flying, but a relatively small body, and it doesn't have the aura of a magical dragon at all.

As for dragon knights, magicians, etc., it can be confirmed that they are all jokes compiled by bards, and there is no such thing in the real world...

Since it is certain that magic does not exist in this world, Tang Mo can only accept the reality honestly: in this world, there is no one who knows how to fly!
He can only train pilots himself, which is a long process, a process that makes people extremely anxious but can't get up at all.

Tang Mo could only use the most primitive method to establish an aviation school on Long Island, teaching the young people who came to learn the basics of aviation from the most basic place.

Becoming a pilot is much more troublesome than becoming a driver of a car.The standards for entering flight school are too strict for most people in this world.

There is no way around this, they must be able to rotate hundreds of times on the rolling ring device to ensure that they don't spit it out, and walk out in a straight line after turning dozens of times in place.

In short, these game-like assessments are really not easy, and these assessments are only the most basic things.

Because the plane must have been kept absolutely secret for a long time, Tang Mo's secret weapon.Therefore, these pilots must also be loyal, so the identity investigation of the selection assessment is relatively strict.

It is not enough just to have high loyalty and meet the physical standards, because as an early pilot, you must also have special abilities such as distinguishing the heading and dealing with aircraft mechanical failures.

In other words, they must be smart enough to learn modern cultural knowledge, be familiar with mechanics and understand the principles of aircraft...

Among these people, Tang Mo still had to select the best, and finally found a group of top talents who were particularly familiar with the aviation force, and trained them into the first batch of air dispatchers and commanders who were like fire.

Training such a group of professionals is definitely expensive.As wielders of the most advanced weapons, their bodies are as heavy as gold.

These people have to eat the best food and use the most advanced things every day to ensure a keen sense, maintain body consumption, and ensure their peak state.

They need to be familiar with the high-altitude environment, often train in the clouds, and learn to skydive before boarding the real plane.

Tang Mo couldn't afford to consume these precious pilots, and he had parachute skills, so it was naturally impossible to waste these precious talents.

So, before the plane was actually manufactured, Tang Mo had already started producing parachutes to equip his aviation school.

In the most mysterious central area of ​​Long Island, above the teaching area of ​​Datang Aviation Academy, there are several expensive hard-hulled airships hovering there every day.

This kind of useless and expensive airship is specially prepared for training pilots to parachute.

Although there is no way to completely simulate the parachuting of an airplane in terms of speed, it can still allow these pilots to master an unreliable escape skill in advance.

It is too expensive to raise a pilot. These selected talents have not yet touched the real plane, and each of them has cost Tang Mo hundreds of gold coins.

Do you know what this concept is?The concept is that the money spent on them, the money spent on each of them, is enough to save the original Datang Group.

The monthly gross profit of a textile factory cannot support a pilot!This is the status quo of this world, and this is the price Tang Mo must pay if he wants to figure out the pilot ahead of time!
When these pilots took off in a hot air balloon and started a day of pre-aircraft experience training, in the experimental site next door, a static test aircraft was parked in the hangar.

It is more accurate to say that it is more like a lumber factory than an aircraft manufacturing factory - the factory building is full of wood, and most of the early aircraft were made of wood.

Of course, Tang Mo hoped to build that kind of low-wing metal-skinned aircraft from the very beginning, but the reality is that his pilots should start training from earlier aircraft that are easier to learn and safer.As a result, Tang Mo had to start production from old-fashioned aircraft, and he couldn't take any shortcuts.

All the designs of an airplane are complementary, and it’s not just a matter of changing it casually: because it’s a wooden airplane, the horsepower of the engine should not be too high, otherwise the fuselage structure will be easily damaged, so only a low-horsepower engine can be used.

And because the engine performance is average, the fuselage is made of wood so it is very heavy, so the speed of the aircraft basically does not go up.

The plane produced by Tang Mi is not German, but the famous British advanced plane "Camel".

In the late period of World War I, the United Kingdom continued to launch fighter jets with better performance. To be honest, the aviation technology of this era, including aero engines, is actually very top-notch in the United Kingdom.

This British-produced "Camel" fighter has good maneuverability and powerful firepower.In the last year or so of World War I, it shot down 1294 enemy planes and became the best fighter at that time.

The "Camel" aircraft was designed by the British company Sopwith, the military name is Sopwith F.1 biplane, the maximum level flight speed is 195 kilometers per hour, and the ceiling is 5800 meters.

Two machine guns are installed side by side on the upper part of the aircraft engine, and a firing coordinator is used.Because there is a raised bulge on each cover above the machine gun, like two humps, it is named "Camel".

Coincidentally, this water-cooled machine gun is basically a replica of Maxim, and Tang Mo can easily install this mature equipment on this kind of aircraft.

Design work on the aircraft began in 1916, when the aircraft came to prominence in World War I, where intense air combat required highly maneuverable fighters.In this context, the "Camel" fighter made its first test flight on February 1916, 2, and was soon put into production, and participated in combat in July 22.

The "Camel" type is a single-seat fighter, equipped with 2 boat machine guns and a 45 kg bomb.At that time, the ace pilots Tololope and Urlet, relying on the agile hovering performance and powerful forward firepower of the famous aircraft, created a record of shooting down 6 enemy aircraft in one day.

At that time, the British Air Force and Naval Aviation were equipped with such aircraft, with a total of more than 3000 aircraft. A total of 5490 "Camel" aircraft were produced. In addition to the United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, Greece, and the United States have all used this type of aircraft.

Its handling is very good, and its comprehensive performance is very good. It is very suitable for Tang Mo to train his pilots.
