Chapter 852: Arsenal
Although Liu Zhenguo didn't understand, he still didn't say anything...... At this point, Liu Zhenguo is a little inferior, he thinks that he can't understand this issue, which doesn't mean that the French experts in Basille can't understand it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, he only needs to convey what Zhang Chi said to Basil as it is.
Liu Zhenguo only thought in his heart: There is still such a thing? Can you automatically follow the target and then hit? I don't think I've ever heard of this thing, but if this can really be made, it's not like you can hit wherever you want and you don't need anyone!
Liu Zhenguo returned to China with excitement and anticipation at the same time, but asked Basil and other experts...... They are also wide-eyed.
"It can't be!" Basil said: "Let the 'airplane missile' automatically attack the target? It may be a good idea, but it's impossible! ”
Other French experts and Chinese experts also had a lot of discussions, and at this time they all had a considerable understanding of the German V-series missiles and were even in the process of copying them.
This is not a difficult task for them, some of them have made this thing, and even obtained several physical V-series missiles through the Algiers government...... This is not difficult, Germany has a factory for V-series missiles in France, and because this thing is launched in large quantities to the United Kingdom, there are always some that have not exploded and have been well preserved.
Therefore, Basille and other experts are very well aware of the principle of the "aircraft missile", and they are confident that they can imitate it, but now they want to make this thing automatically track the target...... This is a bit beyond the capabilities of Basil and others.
After thinking about it for a long time, Basil decided to send a telegram to Zhang Chi.
"General!" "As for what you said about having an 'airplane missile' track the target and automatically adjust its direction...... We all thought it was impossible to do it, at least, we believe that there is no such technology at the moment, otherwise the Germans would have used it on these 'aircraft missiles' a long time ago. ”
"Maybe not!" Zhang Chi replied: "But can you only research the technology that already exists?" So where do those new technologies come from? ”
This telegram couldn't help but make Basille very ashamed, Zhang Chi was right, as a scientist, you should explore the unknown and walk in front of the world, instead of blindly copying after others.
Then Zhang Chi said: "This technology is just some improvements on the basis of the original 'aircraft missile'. I believe it works...... Or you can take it step by step, for example, install a camera on the 'airplane missile', build a remote control station on the ground, and then use wireless technology to transmit data and remote control, isn't this a prototype? ”
Seeing this telegram, Basil couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Zhang Chi is right, this is indeed the kind of prototype that can automatically track the target and destroy it, and it is completely feasible in theory, and it can even be said that it is not complicated...... It's actually the equivalent of a model airplane, a model airplane with a bomb.
"Now, tell me, is this possible?" Zhang Chi asked.
"Yes, General!" Basil replied, "It's doable!" ”
"Good!" Zhang Chi said: "I believe you can do it!" ”
After sending this telegram, Zhang Chi went about his own business.
What Zhang Chi didn't expect was that Zhang Chi's simple words would cause an uproar at the research institute in Okinawa...... No one thought that they could easily solve what they thought was "impossible" in this way.
Of course, this is still far from being able to automatically track targets by "aircraft missiles", but there is no doubt that a big step in this direction has already been taken.
In fact, it is not surprising that "invention" is sometimes just an idea, and the point is not whether it is difficult or not, but whether it can be the first to come to mind...... And Zhang Chi obviously has a lot of advantages in this regard.
At the same time that Basille and others were intensively researching and improving the "aircraft missile," a factory for the production of American-style equipment for the French army was also under construction.
In this regard, it is easier to relax and imagine.
Originally, Zhang Chi thought that there would be at least a few months of preparation time, because this was not a trivial matter, and it needed to transport all the machinery and equipment from Okinawa, and the expeditionary force at this time did not have such a strong transportation capacity, and even more so, the machines of the expeditionary force were not enough at all...... This is because the US military has a very large number of orders, and the machines are running almost day and night.
And now it has to devote a part, if not a large part, to Algeria.
But this problem was quickly resolved, and the reason was the support of the Americans.
"Major General!" When Eisenhower heard Zhang Chi talk about these difficulties, he replied: "We don't want to affect the supply of American troops who are fighting in the Philippines, which will cause casualties to our soldiers!" ”
"But what can we do?" Zhang Chi pretended to be helpless and said: "You know, the Zoaf Corps is waiting for the weapons and ammunition produced by these factories, and it will be more beneficial to the allies if they can be equipped one day earlier, right?" ”
"That's right!" Eisenhower nodded.
"If it goes on like this!" Zhang Chi said: "I'm afraid that when the Zoaf Corps is equipped with American-style equipment, the war will be over!" ”
After thinking about it, Eisenhower replied: "Well, the United States is responsible for the machinery and transportation, but you will have to bear the costs, agree?" ”
"Of course, General!" Zhang Chi didn't think about it, so he agreed.
Kidding, this is an arsenal, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it as a chicken that lays golden eggs, and it's worth a few machines and transportation costs.
The Yankees moved quickly, and in less than a month, machines and lathes were transported to Algiers by the "Victory Wheel", and there were even bulldozers, excavators and other mechanical equipment, needless to say...... This is used to build a factory.
The workers were partly Chinese technicians flown in from Okinawa and partly Americans...... This part of the Americans is mainly technical assistance and machine maintenance, after all, these machines and the weapons and equipment to be produced are all American goods, they are more mature in technology, while Chinese technicians have only been in contact with it for a short time, and there is still a lot to learn.
Giraud, Juan and other French officers couldn't help but be happy when they watched the factory be completed in Algeria.
"Major General!" General Giraud said: "Thank you for bringing this together for us, and I believe that by equipping the Zoaf Corps with more advanced American equipment, we will be one step closer to liberating France!" ”
