It was said a long time ago that Tang En was interested in aviation.
In the magical world of Prandal, even people could fly, so how difficult would it be to fly?
Not difficult.
It was very simple to fly. The universal alloy was light enough to be used as the material for the outer shell of the plane. Now that the silicon ore had been found, the refined glass could be reinforced with magic, and it would be no problem to use it as a flying windshield. The power of the plane was even simpler. It could directly use the same technology as the Comet Motorcycle, but the scale could be enlarged.
As for the problem of load, the interlayer in the middle of the plane's outer shell could use a large number of floating stones to reduce the weight, which could greatly increase the engine's thrust-to-weight ratio and solve the problem of load.
But what about after flying?
Did he have to rely on visual inspection to drive? There was no radar in this world. If he relied on visual inspection to control the plane during high-speed flight, he was afraid that there would be more than one or two air accidents.
In addition to the problem of driving, there was also the corresponding airport, which was the airport. The construction of the airport in each city was also a big project. At the same time, a large number of corresponding talents needed to be trained, such as pilots, waiters, ground crew, and so on. Tang En even had to formulate a set of universal aviation laws from scratch, such as dividing civil and military aviation channels, setting up aviation control areas, and so on …
There were a lot of troublesome things. Otherwise, why would Tang En build the highway first and not directly get on the plane?
Don't forget that Klotto had a ready-made dwarf aircraft!
Ever since they understood the principle of optical refraction and restored the Master Engineer Glasses, according to Clotho, the experimental gnome aircraft could now fly very stably. Once there were no problems with the final test, they could mass produce it.
Although the dwarf aircraft was a direct-lift multi-axis propeller aircraft, which was closer to an airship and was different from the supersonic fighter aircraft and large passenger aircraft that Tang En thought of, an airship was also an aircraft, right? And it was more fantastical, right?
Unlike land and water, although the load capacity of air transportation was relatively weak, it was fast!
So after the construction of the highway and railway network, Tang En wanted to do the air transportation industry. At that time, airships and large passenger aircraft would be seen in the sky of Prandal.
But …
There was an essential difference between an airplane and a spaceship!
Now, not only did Reeves want to fly, he also wanted to rush out of the earth … Bah! It was like rushing out of the Prandal and into the sea of stars!
Even though it was normal for Tang En to fly between the Earth and the Moon when he was on Earth, and the rich could even spend their holidays on the Moon, the problem of interstellar migration had yet to be solved in his era. Even a manned landing on Mars would take many years before they dared to start work. Speaking of which, the technology on Earth during his era might not even be comparable to that of the ancient gnomes and goblins!
How was he supposed to lead the way?
"Reeves … Do you have walnuts here?"
"Walnut? What's that for? "
"It's nothing … If there is, eat more. It's good for you."
Tang En roared in his heart. You have to eat more walnuts to nourish your brain!
"About the aircraft, I know it's going to be difficult."
You also know how difficult it is?
"So I have a five-year plan …"
Five years of college entrance exams and three years of mock exams?
"I think that Prandal's current transportation efficiency is too slow. You should have the same thoughts as me."
Reeves looked at Tang En and said, "That's why you researched things like highways and Harley-Davidson motorcycles."
Ha, Jia Lian's intelligence work is really good. The information about the Harley-Davidson motorcycles has already been sent over.
Originally, Tang En had intended to sell it to Reeves for a thousand gold coins and take advantage of him. But who would have thought that he would have made a deal with Oscar before Reeves? Two hundred thousand gold coins per unit … Tang En did not dare to calculate how many times the profit would be.
"You flatter me."
"But I think that the potential of highways shouldn't stop here. There should be more potential worth exploring. I think that you should also be developing a large-scale vehicle, right?"
Reeves was worthy of being the big boss of the Star Diamond Bank. He immediately noticed Tang En's plan.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because from the bicycle at the beginning to the Harley-Davidson motorcycles now, you are gradually changing people's travel patterns."
Reeves smiled very slyly, "But motorcycles have basically reached the limit of what a single person on the ground can bear. If there is a next step, it should be a vehicle that replaces carriages."
"What makes me more certain is that with the excellent performance of highways, if used for heavy freight, it will greatly reduce the consumption and time. It is impossible for you to give up such a large market."
"So I think that what you will be producing next should be a high-speed vehicle similar to carriages. At the same time, there will also be a freight vehicle that will replace the freight carriages. At that time, the potential of highways will completely burst out."
Reeves pinched a fruit to moisten his throat and then said, "It is because I guessed your plan that I agreed to the contract. At the same time, I also have an idea, which is to expand the scope of cooperation with you. If we cooperate, we can build a highway network all over Prandal!"
"In the first year of my five-year plan, the construction of the highway network will be done."
"In the second year, highways will be popularized. The funds will be used for research and development and production of flying vehicles."
"In the third year, flying vehicles will be tested."
"In the fourth year, flying vehicles will be officially put into use. At the same time, funds will be used to develop spaceships."
"In the fifth year, we will be able to fly out of Prandal!"
Looking at the excited look on Reeves' face, Tang En really didn't want to give him a blow.
F * ck, if we only need a five-year plan to rush into space, then what is the use of NASA!?
"You are thinking too simply. If you want to go into space, there are too many things involved in a spaceship. It is not that simple …"
"I know, that is why I have a five-year plan."
"Five years …"
Tang En looked at Reeves as if he was looking at a pure idiot, "Do you think that going to space is as simple as going from Nanilla to Alinx? Okay, you don't have to mention this matter anymore. At present, we don't have such conditions. For the time being, you can just think about it. But the matter of cooperating to build a highway network, we can really cooperate. "
Reeves was obviously very dissatisfied, "Only a highway network? Are you selling Harley motorcycles? "
"You want to buy Harley motorcycles? Of course, I can sell them to you. "
Tang En spread his hands, "Harley motorcycles are highly praised by Clotho and the others. In the morning, His Majesty Oscar also purchased a batch."
"Of course I will buy them! There is another reason I called you here this time! "
Reeves said, "Gary has reported to me that the performance of Harley motorcycles is very superior, and they are extremely fast, especially on the highway. From Ellington to Bein, we can go back and forth in a day without using magic. This is really incredible."
As the big boss of the Star Diamond Bank, of course, he understood how meaningful a fast and convenient means of transportation was to them. Although they were now going back and forth between major cities very quickly, that was because there were Dragons stationed there to help open the door, so it was so fast.
But if the distance was not so far, it would not be worth it to ask Dragons to open the door, and the carriage was very slow, which would be very awkward.
The appearance of Harley motorcycles just supplemented the mid-distance travel options.
"How many do you need?"
Reeves smiled slightly, "How many do you have?"
I hate rich people!
Tang En coldly snorted, "I won't cheat you. The price of the Harley motorcycles that I discussed with Oscar in the morning is 200,000 gold coins. I will give you the same price."
"What!? 200,000 gold coins!? "
Reeves' eyes suddenly widened, "But Gary clearly said that it was only five-"
Reeves suddenly closed his mouth.
F * ck!
Tang En stared at Reeves with an unkind expression. Damn, who leaked the previous price? This group of stinking brats' mouths are too unreliable!
"200,000!"
Tang En decisively said, "Not a single copper coin less!"
Tang En was very vengeful. He still hadn't forgotten how Gary had cheated him when he bought the firearms from him. It was really raising the price!
The corner of Reeves' mouth twitched. He also guessed what Tang En meant.
He clearly wanted him to spit out all the gold coins he had taken before with interest.
"In any case, we are partners in the future, right? How about Ellington's internal price? "
Reeves put on a smiling face and tried to play the family card.
"No."
Tang En decisively said, "Not a single copper coin less."
"You are too stingy … And the price is too high," Reeves muttered.
Reeves muttered to himself. He clearly knew that within Ellington, the Harley-Davidson motorcycles were priced at 500 gold coins. Furthermore, it was said that Tang En's confidants could obtain them at an even lower price.
Selling something that cost 500 gold coins for 200,000 gold coins, a profit of 400 times. This was even more ruthless than the main product of their Enclave Risk Control Company.
Was Tang En a real Goblin?
"How about I send you a few beautiful Goblin girls?"
"If you want to buy, then buy. If you don't want to buy, then scram!"
Tang En rolled his eyes and didn't move at all. Fiona next to him blinked and laughed in her heart.
Gary had cheated Tang En before, and now that he finally had the opportunity to return the anger he had suffered, how could he back down?
Besides, Oscar had already signed a large order, and the Datang Chamber of Commerce didn't have to worry about income in the near future. It didn't make much of a difference whether Reeves sold it or not.
Seeing Tang En like this, Reeves could only admit defeat, "Then let's start with 2000 units."
What the hell!? 2000 units!?
Tang En and Fiona were stunned again. Was this guy crazy? He knew that the market price was 500 gold coins, but now he was selling it at 200,000 gold coins. He was the one who cheated him, but he still wanted to buy 2000 units!?
That's four hundred million gold coins!
"How is it? Am I sincere enough? Next time, remember to give me an internal price. Even if it's not an internal price, give me a partner price! "
Although he had spent 400 times more to buy a batch of Harley motorcycles, Reeves didn't have much heartache.
Sure enough, he should write the words "I am a tycoon" on this guy's forehead!
