54. Technological achievements
Jinyang, Dong Gong Ancestral Hall, Jinyang University.
Admiral Chen Shiying, commander of the North Atlantic Fleet, and Admiral Xie Zhaokun, director of the Naval Armament Bureau, followed Marshal Pei Yunsong to a building in the Royal North Garden on the side of this secluded university park. The security here is very tight, and if it weren't for someone from the Imperial Security Bureau to show them the way, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to get in smoothly even if they were told the location.
The building is clearly sealed, and all personnel entering and exiting are subject to strict scrutiny.
"Oh, that's dozens of times more careful than going through customs." Finally passed the security check, Chen Shiying couldn't help but complain, but the actual situation aroused his curiosity.
What the hell is it that makes it so mysterious?
Entering the hall on the first floor, Colonel An Jingting, dressed in a black dress, personally received them, and they had already met several times in order to prepare for this technical exchange meeting.
After entering the hall and seeing more than a dozen people sitting on the sofa chatting and waiting, Chen Shiying felt a little shocked.
Basically, they are all bachelors of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and they are authorities in physics, chemistry, metallurgy and mechanical engineering, and aeronautical technology.
"Well, gentlemen, welcome to this conference of military technology achievements organized by the National Defense Science and Technology Commission! I think you all knew all the precautions during our coordination and signed a confidentiality agreement. Again, I would like to emphasize that whether or not you have gained something in it, what you have seen and heard during this meeting is absolutely not allowed to be revealed to the outside world. Please keep it confidential. Of course, An Jingting has to say ugly things in front.
"That's fine, if we can't do it, we won't come." Professor Shi Yixiang, academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences and Luoyang Institute of Electronic Engineering, replied with a smile, and Professor Yan Yuqing and Professor Lu Ning, who were sitting next to him, also nodded.
'Well, guys, please go to the exhibition area first, the official bidding will begin in two hours, Major Linz, please accompany the gentlemen to the product hall on the second floor. An Jingting said to a young officer wearing an army uniform beside him.
"And they came!" It is not surprising to meet Mr. Tao Hanwen and Professor Li Yixuan here, but to Chen Shiying's surprise, the heads of the two giants of the empire's chemical industry, which are fiercely competitive, are sitting on a couch with the same person. It seems that the relationship between these people is still very familiar, and the deputies they brought with them are carefully observing and analyzing some of the samples displayed inside through the glass case in the exhibition hall.
Of course, the person sitting between them is also an important person. Lu Xinmin is the chief scientist of the Imperial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources and the chief consultant of the Imperial Gulf Oil Company. It was under his leadership that Gulf Oil discovered a super-large oil field in Kuwait the year before. The "luck" of the Imperial Gulf Oil Company was good, and it didn't take long for Kuwait to buy a large area of land to exploit it, and several oil wells were drilled one after another.
Marshal Pei Yunsong and other high-ranking people on the navy had to go over to say hello first, and everyone was a big man, so they shook hands politely at the beginning and greeted each other.
"What are you talking about? I see you're having a great time. Lu Ning said.
"Oh, Mr. Sanders is briefing us on the oil prospects of Sura Island, and the Empire is interested in investing in a new oil company, would you be interested in getting involved?" Tao Hanwen said, he looked at Mr. Li Yixuan of the United Chemical Company, "I heard that you have been in Rome recently?" ”
In the pharmaceutical field, United Pharmaceutical is the world's giant in this field, and the two of them are the real rivals.
Of course, Li Yixuan heard the schadenfreude in his words, "Well, it's a lawsuit, but I see that your company's troubles in Europe are not small." ”
"Of course, Prime Minister Lee Kum Tong has long said that Europeans are unruly bandits, and there are many counterfeits of our medicines in Europe. When we make too much money, the patent offices of European countries are bought off by their capitalists. Of course, Tao Hanwen also felt the same way, "So, we have to keep it secret." He pointed to the officers in the room.
The pleasantries lasted only a few moments, and then moved on to the topic.
The war began, and this technology release will naturally be linked to the military industry. Slowly, almost a quarter of the important members of the Imperial Academy of Sciences have gathered in this room.
"Is it a mature production process?" Tao Hanwen said.
"Most of them are not, but at least they point out the direction in which we invest in research, and as long as scientific research is in the right direction and there is sufficient research funding, the results can be produced quickly." "But there is absolutely no problem with the research directions offered here. ”
"Well, yes, there are a lot of times when science and technology only need to open a window, and the results of research will come naturally." Professor Lu Ning said with deep feeling that most of the people here are first-class scientists, and it is ten thousand times more difficult to grope alone in the dark than to have a road guided by lights.
A group of the top admirals of the Imperial Navy were introduced into the exhibition hall of naval equipment, only to find that Admiral Chen Wenqiang, the director of naval shipbuilding, was already inside with some major technical experts of the shipbuilding design bureau, and these people were gathering in front of a booth to discuss something enthusiastically.
Chen Shiying: After they walked over, they developed, and the booth was a model of an aircraft carrier with a strange shape.
“…… The class of ships is 316 meters long, 38 meters wide, with a draft of 12 meters, a flight deck width of 72 meters, a standard displacement of 62,000 tons, and a full load displacement of 81,000 tons. The power plant consists of 4 steam turbines and 8 boilers, the main engine is 4 reduction gear turbines, 4 shaft propulsion, with a total output of 210,000 kW and a design speed of 32 knots. The flight deck is equipped with four ZT-5 steam catapults and four lifts with a load capacity of 50 tons, which can carry between 196 and 218 aircraft. ……”
Chen Shiying suddenly opened his mouth in surprise after seeing the model of this aircraft carrier, and almost exclaimed.
Mainly because of its huge large beveled flight deck, as an expert on aircraft carriers, he saw at a glance the great advantages of arranging the flight deck in this way.
On top of it, even heavy bombers can take off.
"Are the flight decks and hangars of the aircraft carrier remodeled according to the new design?" Marshal Pei Yunsong asked, he had obviously seen this kind of design scheme in advance.
"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal, according to your suggestion, the flight deck of the newly built aircraft carrier has been widened again, extended outward, and a landing runway has been added, and now the width of the flight deck has exceeded twice the width of the hull, and after the transformation, the number of aircraft loaded on the aircraft carrier has increased by one-half, and its combat performance will also be greatly improved." Admiral Chen Wenqiang said.
