Chapter 778 Talent Reserve for World War (Second update, please subscribe)

This day is an extremely unforgettable day for everyone.

Many of them spent their entire lives recalling what they saw and experienced that day.

The next morning, all newspapers in the Ming Dynasty published photos of Emperor Zhu handing out diplomas to graduates of Nanhua University on their front pages. Emperor Zhu personally handed the diplomas to all the graduates, patted them on the shoulders and said some encouraging words.

Among them, many students are the first generation of Nanhua.

They may not have been born in Nanhua, but they attended primary school, middle school, and university in Nanhua. Where their lives will go in the future and what great achievements they will make, no one knows, but what is certain is that this graduation day on July 1, 1875 will be remembered by many people for the rest of their lives.

For the graduates of that class, they will hang the photo of themselves receiving their graduation certificates at home or place them on their desks for the rest of their lives.

How many people in this world have the opportunity to receive a graduation certificate from the emperor?

There are not many people.

Li Jingfang, an international student, is one of them.

Even until the next day, Li Jingfang felt a little like he was dreaming. Even now, he could still remember what the Emperor Shengde of the Ming Dynasty said to him when he walked onto the stage and received his graduation certificate from his hands.

"Congratulations, Li Jingfang. I hope you can live up to what you have learned in Nanhua and work hard for the rise of China!"

Recalling Emperor Shengde's words over and over again, Li Jingfang felt his heart beating faster.

What does your majesty mean?

Could it be, could it be...

The rise of China.

The Great Qing Dynasty... Li Jingfang muttered these words in his mind. He couldn't sleep last night. From yesterday until now, Li Jingfang had neither slept nor eaten. He just sat in the room in a daze.

How can I not be in a daze?

Because those few words of your majesty are so shocking, work hard for the rise of China!

Is it for the Qing Dynasty?

Definitely not. The Qing Dynasty... Everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that the Qing Dynasty was a foreign ruler who had secretly occupied the Central Plains. According to the common standards of this world, it was a colonial ruler.

"Oh my god, Your Majesty, you are not asking us to rebel!"

When this thought came to his mind, Li Jingfang was a little frightened, but he did not feel any discomfort.

After studying in Nanhua for several years, if he said that he did not want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely be fooling people. Even if there were books like "Ten Days in Yangzhou" in the bookcase of Mr. Li, once the seeds of hatred were planted... one day they would grow into a towering tree.

"rebel……"

After thinking about it, Li Jingfang said to himself.

"It doesn't seem to be that difficult. With the troops under my father's command, it seems that if we want to investigate the rebellion..."

While talking to himself, Li Jingfang realized another problem - there was more than one powerful official in the Qing Dynasty, there was another one in Huguang, and that official was his father's mentor. If that master was unwilling to rebel, wouldn't his father be betraying his teacher?

Given Dad’s temper, will he do it?

Li Jingfang couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He didn't think that rebellion was a big deal, but his father was different.

"Oh... this is a bit difficult."

Li Jingfang, who was worried about the affairs of his country and family, even forgot about his date - he had originally made an appointment with Peiyun. As a loyal bootlicker, he was determined to marry the goddess of his heart before returning to China.

Now... he had forgotten about it. Even when there was a knock on the door and Peiyun's voice came from outside, he didn't remember that he had stood up the goddess...

…

In any case, Emperor Zhu had no idea what kind of waves his instructions would cause in Li Jingfang's heart, but one thing is certain, the moment he saw Li Jingfang, Emperor Zhu knew that the young man in front of him was no longer the young man in history.

Will he rebel?

This is not important. What is important is that Governor-General Li will rebel sooner or later. Emperor Zhu has no doubt about this. After all, the Qing court has never been peaceful since Japan joined the Ming Dynasty. The powerful Qing officials in the court regard all Han officials as traitors. No matter whether he is Governor-General Li or Zeng the Barber, in their eyes... they are just traitors who may rebel at any time.

What if they follow the Japanese example and welcome the Ming Emperor?

The Manchu nobles could not help but think so. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that Li Zeng and other provincial governors who held heavy troops would rebel. With this in mind, even if Li Zeng and others did not want to rebel, they would be forced to rebel sooner or later!

Emperor Zhu couldn't care less about what was happening thousands of miles away. After all, he was determined to dominate the world. Besides, there were more important things to do right now.

Power test laboratory.

There are two in Daming, one is at the University of South China, and the other is located in a confidential area 70 kilometers south of South China. These two power test laboratories are actually engaged in aircraft research, or gliders to be more precise.

In fact, part of the technical data of the power test laboratory also came from the mall. The glider with wooden beams and cloth was designed and produced according to the teaching materials of the glider school. The scientific research flight team of the University of South China systematically studied the relationship between the design parameters and the sinking speed of the unpowered aircraft.

At the beginning, the power laboratory only studied aerodynamics, and the gliders they made were very simple. As they studied aerodynamics, a turning point came. They applied their research results to a completely new design of aircraft.

"The new design institute's glider has achieved a flight time of 30 minutes. The longest flight time reached two hours a month ago—"

Emperor Zhu said in surprise before Li Lin finished his introduction.

"Two hours!"

"Yes, sire,"

Li Lin explained.

"But this is achieved by taking advantage of the updrafts on the windward side of the Andes Mountains, where horizontal winds are turned upward by the terrain. Well, we also have a test site on the mountain, and we can fly longer and farther from the mountain, which is more helpful for us to study flight issues."

After thinking about it, Li Lin said.

"Recently we are studying new wood beam materials. We plan to use lighter balsa wood to make the glider, which can further reduce its weight. By further improving its model, we are confident that within a year, we can achieve a flight time of one hour."

One hour flight!

If Emperor Zhu remembered correctly, that was the normal flight time of the "Flyer 5" used by the glider school.

With similar gliders...we can almost set up a glider school and train a group of pilots in advance.

Establishing a glider school is the most effective way to train pilots. Before World War II, Germany and the Soviet Union relied on glider schools to train a large number of reserve pilots. They only needed simple training to master ordinary aircraft flying techniques.

Most of their ace pilots had the experience of learning to fly in glider schools. In addition, many teenagers in these two countries also received glider training in their middle schools. During the war, they quickly grew into pilots. It was precisely because of this supplementary system that they had sufficient pilots in the brutal war.

One can learn from others' experience, and of course we should learn from such an excellent physique. After all, the Ming Dynasty will fight a world war in the future.

World War...If a company doesn't invest tens of thousands of planes, it would be too embarrassed to go out and say hello to others.

Besides, there are no real airplanes yet, so training a group of pilots using gliders can be used as a talent reserve.

Emperor Zhu said after seeing the vast application space of the glider.

"Well, you can give it a try and try to improve the performance of the glider. Is there anything you can do for me?"

Facing the question from underground, Li Lin spoke almost without thinking.

"Your Majesty, I, I want to... borrow some money from Your Majesty."

I have set up a book club: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
