Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 939 940 New Commodities
In the Linshui Port of the Tang Empire, a new World Technology Expo was held.This conference has always been the most advanced technology conference in the world, so it can attract a large group of technicians and scientists from all over the world.

They will come here to find inspiration, exchange their research and development experience, and inform each other of the latest technology research and development.

Just like a group of pilgrims, they will find the inspiration they want here in the Tang Empire, see the latest technology research and development direction, and see the long-awaited... truth.

At this moment, a group of dwarves are surrounding a Mi-1 helicopter, looking at this brand new aircraft curiously.

For technicians in any country, this brand-new aircraft represents a future that they have not yet imagined.

In fact, helicopter technology is not a new technology. After the birth of propellers, normal designers will start to explore the technical field of vertical use of propellers.

But the technology in this world is deformed. Except for the Datang Empire, technicians from other countries have been passively accepting the leaked technology from the Datang Group. They have not had time to fully understand the existing technology in their hands. to conceive offshoots of these technologies.

Therefore, when these technicians saw the helicopter for the first time, they were shocked. Some of them did think about such a design, but many of them were stopped by some difficulties.

Helicopters are actually not a symmetrical design. Except for special types of helicopters such as the Chinook used by the Datang Empire itself, most of the helicopters are actually asymmetrical in design.

At the rear of the helicopter, a tail rotor is specially designed to counteract the force deflection problem caused by the helicopter's main rotor.And this problem actually exists on propeller fighter jets as well.

Such problems on propeller fighter jets are usually solved by trimming. To put it bluntly, when the aircraft is flying forward, the slight difference in adjusting the rudder surfaces on both sides is used to offset the deflection.

This method is feasible on a faster piston aircraft, but it is completely unfeasible on a helicopter that emphasizes hovering and vertical take-off and landing.

Therefore, the helicopter needs a tail rotor to counteract the deflection, so that the fuselage will not rotate with the rotation of the rotor-this design cannot be thought of by engineers from other countries who have not fully digested the propeller design.

They are still in the design idea of ​​learning propeller aircraft and using different rotation directions of the rotors to offset force deflection-so the helicopter they imagined is actually shaped like the Osprey V-22.

It's a pity that this design was too complicated for early helicopters, and the structural weight was too high, which affected the practicability of the aircraft.

This made technical engineers from various countries engaged in such research wonder whether the helicopters they developed were completely useless.

Such doubts disappeared as more and more helicopters of the Datang Empire appeared in front of people. The excellent performance of the UH-1 helicopter gave hope to all engineers engaged in such designs.

So, this time, everyone traveled thousands of miles to gather in Datang Empire again, and visited the new helicopter sold by Datang Empire in Linshui: the Mi-1 multi-purpose helicopter.

The newly designed Mi-1 helicopter can carry 3 passengers and take off and land vertically at a suitable location-this performance is indeed attractive enough.

When the helicopter pulled up on the spot, blown away the dust on the ground, and hovered in front of everyone, everyone let out a gasp of wonder.

A plane that can take off without an airport is really too tempting for the rest of the world.It has characteristics that normal aircraft cannot possess, and these characteristics are enough to support many special purposes.

Looking at the helicopter flying cautiously in the sky, everyone present was stunned.No matter how clumsy the plane's attitude was, it was light enough for them.

For these people, this helicopter is really beyond imagination. With this aircraft, it seems that many missions that were completely unimaginable before have new options.

Leaving aside other things for the time being, the vertical take-off and landing capability alone is absolutely irreplaceable in the function of transferring important personnel.

In the past, only cars and carriages could be used for transportation. The process of transporting personnel to the airport and then taking a DC-3 plane can be completely transformed into a helicopter to fly directly to the airport.

This kind of transportation seems to have a higher guarantee both in terms of speed and safety: people who want to enjoy such services do not need to build an airport in their own homes, they only need to reserve a large enough open space. Okay, how convenient is it?
The engineer of the Dorne Empire looked up at the Mi-1 helicopter and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the helicopter that was rumored before. I heard that someone in Chu State has seen it."

The entourage standing next to him was also full of longing, nodded and said: "Even if it's not the same model, it's almost the same. It's too exaggerated, and it can take off in place!"

It is impossible to keep a weapon secret all the time, so the best way is to take it out directly and replace it with a sufficient number of gold coins while it is still valuable.

The Datang Empire has spent too much energy on securing aircraft carriers and jet fighters, so they really have no way to completely hide the helicopters.

Helicopters were used in the previous operations of Chu State and this time in the transportation mission to Fengjiang, so it is impossible to keep it completely secret.

Many people have seen this kind of aircraft without wings, so the Tang Empire simply no longer hides the existence of this type of aircraft.

The UH Huey helicopter is definitely not for sale as the private version of the Tang Empire, so selling the Mi 1 helicopter with slightly inferior performance has become Tang Mo's best choice.

Of course, the more powerful Chinook helicopter is naturally still kept secret. In the eyes of many people, it is just an enlarged version of the Huey helicopter.

"We should purchase some of these helicopters, at least 20!" The representatives of the goblins were very curious about this kind of helicopters, and they were also very rich recently, so they didn't need to worry about money.

This is the case in many countries. Since the end of the last anti-Tang war, they have not been so rich for a long time.The Tang Empire paid a lot of employment fees for Fengjiang, and the countries got a lot of money by relying on mercenaries.

For these countries, the Fengjiang civil war is simply their gospel: they have absorbed a lot of war experience in this mercenary war, trained their troops, and at the same time wiped out their debts. Earn extra money.

It is no exaggeration to say that the fiscal deficits of these countries have been alleviated all the time, and they even realized part of their profits by relying on the export of ammunition to Fengjiang.

The Tang Empire was rich, and Tang Mo would not default on buying arms from these countries and hiring mercenaries from these countries to fight, and sometimes even generously paid in advance.

This is also a way for Tang State to achieve economic cycle. Tang Mo uses this method to feed back the world and let the world economy continue to develop in a more favorable direction.

"The dwarves of the Frozen Empire have already placed an order. They bought 100 Mi-1 helicopters. They are very interested in this type of aircraft." Representatives from other countries on the side whispered about the order that the Frozen Empire had just signed. .

So many countries are willing to send their own soldiers as "mercenaries" to participate in the Battle of Fengjiang, which is actually related to this technology exhibition.

The Tang Empire secretly notified many countries that they will exhibit many advanced weapons and equipment at this expo, and only those countries that are willing to help Feng Jiang are eligible to participate in this expo.

As a result, everyone expressed their attitude of cooperation with great interest, and then everyone saw a lot of technical equipment that they had never imagined in the past at this expo.

For example, the helicopter in front of them, for example, the Leopard tank parked in the square not far behind them.

Yes, Datang Empire has placed all the Leopard tanks on the export booth this time: As more and more Type 59 tanks are mass-produced, the Leopard tank and No. 4 tanks are in the equipment sequence of the Datang Empire It's becoming less and less popular.

Although the second-line troops are still equipped with a large number of No. 4 tank chassis, it is already expected to eliminate a small number of Panther tanks.

Therefore, the Tang Empire plans to provide tanks with very advanced performance, at least more advanced than similar tanks from other countries, to other countries.

Chu State is the beneficiary of the military aid this time, but the number of Leopard tanks given to them for free is still too small. Tang Jun himself has a large number of second-hand Leopard tanks, which are ready to be put on the international arms market.

Many countries are interested in this brand new tank, including the Elven Poplar Empire, which is almost fully equipped with German equipment.

At the same time, the Tang Empire also began to sell the Katyusha rocket launcher, which was affectionately called Ma Cuihua by the soldiers, and its performance really opened the eyes of many countries.

This is the first time for everyone to see such a powerful "artillery" weapon. Its advantage in fire coverage is completely incomparable to artillery units.

After seeing such terrifying weapons, all countries have purchased relevant technologies back, and they also hope to develop similar weapons to gain greater advantages on the battlefield.

In fact, some prototypes of these weapons have appeared in various countries. After all, the principle of rockets is actually very simple. Everyone has made some attempts and conjectures in this regard.

It's just that everyone's technology and theory are immature, so we can't come up with mature products for a while.Now that the Tang Empire has directly released it and started selling it, of course everyone will buy it back immediately to see if their thinking is right.
