After the explanation of the two, Chen Xiu couldn't cry or laugh, because his name was also discussed by these two, of course, the evaluation was unbelievable.

But in this era, there are many such fools who don't know the height of the sky.

It is precisely because of these fools that there is a future.

"This is not derogatory, in fact, I hope that we can have more fools like you in China." Wang Shoujing smiled helplessly, of course, he had already told the two of them about Chen Xiu's intentions, including the things that Shangfeng had already agreed to.

"I see." Chen Xiu was also very helpless.

"Haha, okay, just kidding. However, state affairs are difficult, and it is rare to meet people like you. Shi Boan smiled, Shi Bo'an is the person who is ready to serve as the director of a branch factory.

Mr. Shi laughed. Chen Xiu said helplessly, "However, just saw the discussion between Mr. Shi and Mr. Zhang?" ”

"Oh, we're talking about the engine. You also know that now whether it is an airplane or a warship, it is inseparable from the engine. However, in terms of fighter engines, I think the engine should not be too large, otherwise it will definitely affect the overall performance of the fighter, including the maximum speed and endurance. Shi Boan smiled, "Lao Zhang, Zhang Baoling, old engineer, you have to fight with me." ”

"The engine is too small and the horsepower is not enough, and you are all behind in speed by then, how can you fight? Your plane is a target for others! Another middle-aged man with glasses snorted coldly and spoke unhappily.

Chen Xiu felt that he still had some say in this issue, because he had seen the choice of engines for the Japanese "Zero" fighter during World War II, and when the Zero was developed, there were also two engine options. One is called Venus, which is larger and has a power of 1000 horses, and the other is called Rising, which is small in size and has a power of 900 horses.

For the sake of high speed and range, the Venus should of course be chosen, but it seems too heavy for a fighter: the Venera 40 is about 1,200 mm in diameter and weighs 560 kilograms, which is 254 millimeters larger in diameter and 34 kilograms more than the Rising in diameter. On paper, the difference between the two may not seem huge, but the difference has a profound impact on the fuselage: if you use the "Rising", the weight of a single aircraft can be maintained at about 2,300 kilograms, while the weight of a single aircraft with the "Venus" will increase to 3,000 kilograms, and if you choose it, you will have to enlarge the fuselage, and you may lose the flexibility to climb and dive, and rotate.

As a result, the Japanese chose the Rising and the smaller one.

Of course, the performance was excellent at first, until the Americans put into the battlefield in 1943 the F6F Vixen fighter with a 2000 horsepower engine, which had the ability to fight with a Zero fighter, and was faster and more protected, immediately shattered the myth of the Japanese Zero fighter.

The Japanese R&D personnel who got the news certainly regretted it.

"The speed and endurance of the fighter are very important, and I think the power of the aircraft must be high." Chen Xiu smiled, "Think about it, if we design a fighter with only 900 horsepower, a light fuselage, and relatively excellent data, at least, ahead of most of the fighters on the market, do you think this fighter is a success or a failure?" ”

"Of course it was a success!"

"But if the enemy develops a large 2,000-horsepower aircraft, the speed and endurance will far exceed ours...... And with such horsepower, our planes simply cannot catch up with the enemy's planes...... So what? Chen Xiu assumed for a moment.

Several people were silent.

"2,000 horsepower! That's a big engine! Zhang Baoling sighed, and then made a gesture.

"Okay, don't think about it, this assumption, what kind of monster should the fighter plane come out of?" Shi Boan rolled his eyes.

Chen Xiu smiled and didn't comment, because the future would tell them that this matter existed, and indeed, it was difficult for them to imagine a 2,000-horsepower fighter now...... What a monster it should be.

"Mr. Shi, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang." Chen Xiu looked at the three of them, "I came to Kunming this time, the matter has been decided, and I plan to go back in two days, I don't know how the gentlemen plan?" ”

"In this case, I will let Professor Shoutai go back with you and preside over various matters, and I still need to arrange follow-up work on my side." Wang Shoujing spoke, "How?" ”

"Yes." Chen Xiu nodded, Wang Shoutai is also a big family at this time, the director of the fifth branch of the Central Machinery Factory.

"In that case, I'll let you know then, but Lao Wang should go and see the others now."

"Hmm." Chen Xiu nodded, as long as he could talk about it, everything would be fine.

The Central Machinery Factory still has some achievements, and these achievements are also the result of the efforts of these lovely people. Of course, what Chen Xiu wants is not only the results, but also the industrial streamlining of these achievements.

Only in this way can China's national defense be taken to the next level.

……

Taiyuan

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, command order." Han Song held a telegram in his hand and looked at Sakata Xiangyuan.

"Oh? What was said? ”

"Your Excellency the Commander ordered us to bypass the other divisions while they were attacking, and attack them behind the Eighth Road." Han Song opened his mouth, and now Sakata Xiangyuan has been promoted to the commander of the major general brigade, and in another year or two, it is not impossible to be promoted to lieutenant general.

Sakata Xiangyuan frowned slightly, and then nodded, "In that case, Shinmura, you go and arrange it." ”

"Hey!" Han Song bowed slightly and responded. Since becoming Sakata Xiangyuan's personal guard, Han Song has gotten some good news. Of course, it was not so simple to get the news back, because he couldn't go back to Custom Street frequently.

After all, he was also considered a "soldier" at this time.

In the past few months, he has also witnessed the cruelty of the Japanese.

Anger has been pent up for a long time.

But in his current position, he can't do anything.

And be careful not to be noticed.

It was only now that he understood why Chen Xiu had no way to stay any longer after staying in Taiyuan for a few months. Because, the closer you get to the center of power, the more likely it is to be exposed.

Turning around and walking out of the room, Han Song began to go to the other two wings to give orders.

As the weather warmed up, the Japanese offensive in the Luliang area and Shaanxi Province instantly began to become fierce again. So, there was this telegram just now.

Han Song's expression was dark, his brows furrowed, in fact, this plan on the telegram would make Jin Suijun and Balu suffer a big loss, what should he do?

How do you get the word out?

……

"It's finished." Wang Yanran looked at the cave in front of her, exhaled, the clothes on her body had already become gray, she came here in the winter, helped them install the production line, and now, all the equipment has finally been debugged, and the raw materials are ready.

"Wang Gong, do you want to start production?"

"Try it!"
