Chapter 980 Air Force One
The students of the military academy were all standing on the playground, stretching their necks one by one to see what the weird thing was parked on the playground. Although they had received professional training, they still couldn't help but feel curious.
Comrade Li, accompanied by a group of officials, stood next to the old piston propeller plane. Look, look, look, it's like a child encountering a new toy.
"Mingyue, is this thing also an airplane? Why is it very different from what I saw there?" Although Lao Li was very curious about the airplane, the appearance of the piston propeller plane that Zhang Nan replaced from the system must be more than the fighter plane that Lao Li saw in the cinema.
"This is an airplane, but we can't get the advanced airplane you saw there now, the emperor." Mingyue's lies came casually, and she just fooled Lao Li.
"So that's it." The most important thing is that Lao Li actually believed it.
"The end is so powerful that I want to give it a name." Old Li pinched his chin and became very interested at this time.
But after thinking for a long time, Lao Li didn't come up with a good name. After all, his experience could only ask him to name people. For a moment, Lao Li didn't know what it was called.
But the words were already said, and it seemed impossible to be able to say that if you don’t have a similar name, so Old Li turned his head towards Zhang Nan very considerately.
"Qingquan, I wonder if you have any good names for me to refer to?"
Zhang Nan was unhappy when he saw Comrade Li asking for trouble for him so quickly. Although he was unhappy, he was not afraid. After all, this kind of thing was too simple.
Originally, Zhang Nan wanted to give this piston propeller plane a domineering name like "Kunpeng", but Zhang Nan thought about it again, what if the Tang Dynasty's aircraft career started to take off, then all the good names would be used up.
So Zhang Nan casually said, "It's better to call it "Air Force One". This also represents the beginning of our air force's cause. Although the hot air balloon is barely considered, the air force will still focus on aircraft in the end."
When Lao Li heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Okay! Yes, it's called Air Force One. You've reminded me that the matter of establishing the Air Force should also be put on the agenda, otherwise the plane will be out, but if we haven't even established the Air Force, it will be a bit unreasonable."
Lao Li said nothing big of a problem. After all, the Tang Dynasty has basically begun to implement the recruitment system, and the military system reform has been basically completed. All that is left is some minor things, and the army and the navy are already in the formal organization of the Tang Dynasty.
Only the Air Force is just an empty shell. Although Lao Li also knows the great use of hot air balloons, in Lao Li's eyes, a big balloon cannot be regarded as the name of the Air Force no matter how you look at it.
Taking advantage of the appearance of the plane, Lao Li was determined to build the Air Force, although this Air Force probably did not have several aircraft.
"So that's the case, Mingyue, please take me up and fly around first." In fact, when Lao Li saw the plane for the first time, he was already itchy. After finally having the opportunity to experience it in person, Lao Li was naturally very excited.
"Your Majesty, your body of gold is not as safe as that thing. Why don't you let Lao Cheng go up first for you to make sure that you are foolproof? Your Majesty is going up." Cheng Yaojin was actually more excited when he saw the plane than Lao Li.
However, Lao Li directly chose to ignore Cheng Yaojin's "loyalty to the king and the country". After all, he, the emperor, has not tried it out yet, so how could Cheng Yaojin be the first to be the first?
After waved his hand, Lao Li gave Zhang Nan and Mingyue a wink, Zhang Nan asked Mingyue to enter the cockpit, and he accompanied Lao Li to the cabin.
The propeller tumbling up. Just as the ministers stared at how the big guy in front of him flew into the sky, the propeller turned and stopped slowly. Then Mingyue came out of the cockpit with an awkward look on her face, stood under the plane and shouted: "I can't fly! Master, you'd better get down."
After a while, Lao Li walked out of the cabin with a strange look accompanied by Zhang Nan.
"What's going on? Why can't I fly again suddenly? Could it be that something went wrong with this plane?" Old Li asked with a strange look on his face.
"No, no." Mingyue waved her hand.
"Why?" Old Li felt unhappy, as if he was eating a delicacy. The chopsticks were delivered to his mouth, but the delicacy fell to the ground with a snap, and anyone would feel unhappy.
"The playground is a little small and can't fly." Mingyue also scratched her head awkwardly. Although she was a system, she could only do whatever she wanted in Zhang Nan's head. After she brought things to reality, even she could do nothing.
After hearing this, Zhang Nan also covered her face, why did she suddenly forget about this?
"Xiao?" Old Li looked around the empty playground, and could not feel what the concept of Xiao in Mingyue's mouth was.
"In short, it still needs a flat road. The longer the better. Even if it is not flat, it must be at least long enough." Mingyue said truthfully.
The length of the airport runway is mostly three thousand meters above. A small playground like the military academy is indeed not enough to see. After all, this playground is for people, not for planes.
If the length is not enough, the speed of the plane cannot be increased and the wings cannot be pulled, let alone flying, even the chance of accidents will be much higher. Mingyue is a system, so she is naturally not afraid of any danger. The main reason is that Lao Li and Zhang Nan are still on the plane.
"Long enough? Let me think about it." Old Li thought for a while, and then a flash of inspiration flashed.
"How about in front of my Tai Chi Palace?" said Lao Li.
When Zhang Nan heard Lao Li say this, he remembered that if the floor is flat, and it must be long enough, it must be Comrade Lao Li's palace.
According to the standards of military-standard airports, different types of aircraft have different standard lengths, while primary trainers and small transport aircraft only need a length of 1,200 to 1,600 meters. This length can be achieved in front of Comrade Lao Li's Tai Chi Palace.
"But, how should this thing go?" Old Li was also in trouble when he looked at the piston propeller plane in front of him.
After all, this thing depends on flying. Now that it cannot fly, you can't push it into the palace. After all, this thing is still in the confidential stage, and Lao Li does not want the people of Chang'an City to come out to observe.
