A few hours later, Conrad appeared in front of Qin Chuan, and at this time, Rommel went to the back room to rest due to his physical strength.

"Nice to meet you, Captain!" Conrad excitedly shook Qin Chuan's hand: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you wanted to see me!" And what about General Rommel? ”

"The general is infected with malaria, rest in the house!"

"Oh, then let him rest a little longer!" Conrad laughed, "I'm not here for him anyway!" ”

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "I asked you to come this time because we need a piece of equipment!" ”

"Of course, I know!" Conrad said, "Tell me and I'll produce it!" ”

"In fact!" Qin Chuan said: "General Rommel told me that you are in charge of this equipment!" ”

Conrad couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

At this time, Rommel heard the movement outside and got up.

"Colonel!" Rommel walked out with his steps floating like a drunk man while buttoning up his military uniform, and Qin Chuan hurriedly went up to help him.

"Thank you, Captain!" Rommel sat down in front of his chair.

"General, it seems that your malaria is very serious!" Conrad said.

"Yes!" Rommel laughed at himself: "I can defeat the Allied planes and warships, but I can't deal with the mosquitoes here!" ”

"That's why I don't want to come to Sicily!" Conrad replied.

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

"So......" After laughing for a while, Conrad said, "We're talking about 'target aircraft'?" ”

For the sake of secrecy, the V1 missile is called a "new anti-aircraft gun", and in the document it is named "anti-aircraft target equipment".

Therefore, people who know about this plan often call it a "target machine".

"Yes!" Rommel said, "Maybe you can't believe it, Colonel. In the case where I didn't tell the captain anything about the 'target plane', the idea that the captain came up with coincided with it! ”

"Of course I do!" Conrad smiled: "Captain made me understand a word, there is nothing that cannot be believed!" ”

"We need to bomb the island of Malta with it!" Rommel said: "You know, we have lost air and sea supremacy, which allows the Allies to store fuel and deploy aircraft on the island of Malta, and then use these planes to blockade and bomb, and we have nothing to do with them!" ”

Conrad nodded and said, "Good idea, but ...... Unfortunately, we don't think that's realistic! ”

As he spoke, he turned to Qin Chuan and said, "I'm sorry, Captain, I have to say that!" ”

"Why?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Because we can't make this device fly that far!" Conrad said: "It will encounter too many uncertain factors in flight, such as changes in wind speed, changes in air flow, etc., and any change will make the 'target aircraft' unable to react and crash!" ”

"Everything else has been solved, haven't they?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes!" "For example, with the engine, we use a cheap, disposable engine, which allows the equipment to be mass-produced, and it uses even very cheap gasoline instead of high-octane jet fuel," Conrad said. Another example is the altitude, we installed a barometric altimeter for it, and we also used gyroscopes to control autopilot, but here's the problem...... Mechanical automatic driving is not the same as manned driving with intelligence, people can deal with problems according to various different situations, but mechanical driving, there will always be mistakes for one reason or another, which makes it always fly a distance of about one kilometer before crashing, and it is also in the case of sunny weather and less fluctuation of airflow! ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan understood.

This problem is easy to solve if it is put into modern times, modern computers can simulate a variety of different situations and air flow fluctuation data, and then record these data for the navigation device to make corresponding actions to keep the "target aircraft" in a stable flight.

But in this era, there is no computer at all, and the "target aircraft" is an unmanned aerial vehicle, and the response of the navigation device to what situation it encounters is completely dependent on the imagination and guess of scientists on the ground, and even the size of the control amplitude, that is, how much the rudder and elevator should be adjusted, need to be set, as long as there is a little bit inconsistent with the situation encountered, it may crash.

Therefore, theoretically, there is no problem with this kind of equipment, it can be produced completely, and it is quite easy, almost to make a large model aircraft (note: after American scientists got the V1 missile, it took only three weeks to successfully imitate it, that is, **2).

The difficulty lies in the need for constant debugging and obtaining the correct response data...... But because it's a drone, there's no way to even know what went wrong when it fails.

And how did the Germans in history do this?

"We need a pilot!" Qin Chuan said.

"We've been looking for pilots for a long time!" "Our navigation devices are adjusted according to what the pilots tell us, but the pilots can't be sure how big the response should be, because it's hard to quantify," Conrad said. ”

"That's not what I meant!" Qin Chuan said: "I mean, we should produce a prototype, this prototype has two sets of control equipment, one is an automatic navigation device, and the other is a pilot manual driving device!" ”

"But what's the use of that?" Rommel was a little puzzled and said: "What we need is a drone, can we let a manned plane crash into the enemy with a bomb?" ”

"No, no......" Conrad heard the truth, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "This is very useful!" Yes...... Very useful! Why didn't we think of this before? Oh, God! ”

With that, Conrad slowly stood up and said thoughtfully, "Yes, Captain! The pilot flies together in the 'target plane', if there is no problem, he will not operate, only when the automatic navigation equipment is misoperated, he will make adjustments, as long as the pilot's adjustment data is recorded, we can know under what circumstances the navigation equipment has a deviation in response, so as ...... After adjusting again and again, our 'target machine', yes, our 'target machine' will soon be successful! ”

"Great, Captain!" Conrad screamed excitedly, he hugged Qin Chuan, and said excitedly: "Captain, do you know? You've solved a puzzle that we haven't solved in years, it's just amazing! Captain, General...... I'm leaving! ”

"What's wrong with him?" Rommel asked, looking at Conrad, who ran out of the room like a gust of wind.

"Everyone has something they love!" Qin Chuan said: "Colonel Conrad obviously loves his 'target plane'!" ”
