readx; The Chinese Air Force already has a lot of technology in reserve, and there is a whole lot of technology being studied. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As far as engine turbine exhaust gas boosting technology is concerned, the Chinese Empire has basically studied this technology clearly, but it has not yet applied this technology to the military.

In other words, the aircraft using this technology has not been mass-produced, but a large number of prototypes have been made, and there are various prototypes.

The main thing is the bomber prototype.

The Imperial Chinese Air Force Research Institute has created a five-engine heavy armored strategic bomber, which has already begun experiments.

At the beginning of the design, the Imperial Chinese Air Force wanted a long-range bomber that was more efficient than the Mosquito bomber.

Such a bomber would have a bomb load of more than 5,000 kilograms and a range of at least 4,000 kilometers.

This is indeed a big challenge for the research institute, but when the turbo exhaust gas boosting technology is applied, the results are extremely huge.

The range of this new bomber actually exceeded 5,000 kilometers, reaching the extent of 5,600 kilometers, and at the same time it was able to carry 5,000 kilograms of bombs. With a top speed of 530km/h, it has almost caught up with the Mosquito bomber, and basically in this era, no fighter can catch up with this new strategic bomber.

At the same time, the ceiling reached 11,000 meters, which meant that this bomber could bomb at very high altitudes.

The five-engine bomber was a great design success, for which the Red Army had adopted the design and renamed the bomber the 'Kunpeng 1 Strategic Bomber'.

At the same time, the designers are also modifying this type of aircraft, using this model to design a tactical bomber, that is, the part that is loaded with fuel will be used to load bombs, and the range will be shortened, but the bomb load will be increased.

Thus, a bomber with a bomb load of 9,000 kg and a range of 2,000 kilometers was derived, which was more powerful than the Heavy Hammer 4, and was named the Heavy Hammer 5 tactical bomber.

It can be said that the bomber technology of the Chinese Empire has developed extremely rapidly, and the swept wing technology and jet aircraft have entered the research sequence.

In terms of fighters, the Chinese Empire designed a long-range fighter that also used supercharging technology, but only using mechanical supercharging technology, the same as the 'Thunderbolt 1 fighter' that had been put into the battlefield, but the Thunderbolt 1 was a tactical fighter, that is, it was used to fight for front-line air supremacy.

And the newly designed long-range fighter is used to escort bomber formations. The model is therefore larger because it has more fuel capacity, so it can fly farther.

This fighter can fly 5,000 kilometers and reach a speed of 486 kilometers per hour, which is very close to 500 kilometers, which is already the fastest fighter of this era.

When the strategic bomber forces bomb the enemy's territory, they are not afraid of anti-aircraft fire, but of the opponent's fighters. It is very necessary to equip the Air Force with such fighters, capable of long-range escort, in order to cope with the fighter formations developed by other countries in the future.

This fighter was named the 'Longsword 1 Long-Range Fighter'.

Basically, the establishment of the Chinese Imperial Air Force is complete, but it is not completely complete.

At this time, the Air Force Research Institute of the Chinese Empire was focusing on the research of helicopters, air tankers, transport planes and other types of aircraft.

Helicopters are being studied very slowly in various countries.

There are some enthusiasts who are engaged in research in this area through the lifting principle of bamboo dragonflies, but the early helicopter research is full of dangers.

As for why it is dangerous?

This is mainly due to the fact that the propeller on the tail of the helicopter was not invented, resulting in the helicopter spinning in place after starting, and it is unbalanced, and if you are not careful, you will be swept away, and you will be severely disabled.

For Xia Jun, a traverser, it is basic common sense to add a propeller to the back of the helicopter to stabilize it.

In addition, the principle of the bamboo dragonfly is not complicated, so the research on helicopters is very fast, and the Imperial Air Force Research Institute of China has built the first model aircraft.

This model machine has been able to lift and lower, although many of the working technology is immature, but the technical principle is clear.

It's just that Xia Jun didn't want to equip the troops with helicopters so early, after all, as soon as the Chinese Empire used helicopters, other countries would follow suit.

Helicopters really don't have too much technical surnames.

Under such circumstances, Xia Jun naturally hid this technology first, and then suddenly put it into the battlefield on a large scale after the outbreak of a full-scale war, so that even if other countries had time to study it, there would be no event to produce large-scale equipment troops.

Helicopter is a kind of aircraft that appeared relatively late, so Xia Jun is not worried that other countries will get it out early.

I'm just worried that my own people have leaked secrets.

However, for such research projects, foreign technicians will not be allowed to participate, and the participants are all domestic researchers who will never be leaked.

These native researchers are worthy of absolute trust, and with confidentiality agreements signed, they won't go around talking about these things.

The strength of the Imperial Chinese Air Force has basically been at least twenty years beyond this era.

And the advantages are still expanding, after all, Xia Jun comes from later generations, and has a very clear research purpose, which will not make the research take a detour.

This makes the research very efficient.

The Chinese Empire has embarked on a large number of scientific research projects, including nuclear fission technology, which no other country has yet to begin researching.

The Chinese Empire, however, began to study this thing early.

But the research on this nuclear fission technology is very hidden, and the laboratory is built on the Gobi Desert in the west, and there are about 100,000 people involved in this experiment, but most of them do not know what research projects they are engaged in.

After all, the superiors only need to issue tasks, and there is no need to let the subordinates know why they are doing this, so after going down layer by layer, each layer does not know what happened to the previous layer, so although there are many personnel, the secrecy is still very high, especially if the laboratory is built on the Gobi Desert in the west, basically no spies will run there.

Moreover, the official documents on nuclear fission technology are kept very closely, and it is impossible for spies to steal them.

Large-scale research, large-scale construction, and large-scale military training.

During World War II, the war was fought with a combination of large corps, large laboratories, and large factories, and at the same time tested the will of the people and soldiers.

The new military aircraft of the Chinese Empire did not begin to equip the troops, and even excellent bombers such as the Kunpeng 1 and Heavy Hammer 5 were stockpiled as reserve models.

At this time, it is not yet the time of full-scale war, and there is not much pressure on other countries.

In addition to civilian aircraft and fighter planes, the Chinese Empire is even willing to see other countries equipped with bombers that are more advanced than the Empire's, and the Empire will still not replace bombers on a large scale at that time.

First paralyze other countries, so that there can be a sudden surname.

After the outbreak of the war, when other countries found that their military aircraft lagged behind China by a lot, it would be difficult to gain an advantage in a hurry.

Even if the imitation of China's new military aircraft succeeds, the Chinese Imperial Air Force still has more advanced reserves, so that other countries will always be in a state of catch-up.

And superiority in civilian aircraft and fighters must be maintained.

Civil aircraft could keep the Chinese Empire's aircraft industry running, while fighter aircraft had the advantage of keeping the Imperial Air Force safe.

Even if the bombers of other countries are better than the Chinese bombers, as long as the fighter technology is better than theirs, there is no problem.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of air supremacy.

Air supremacy is a prerequisite for the Air Force's freedom of bombing, and without air supremacy, no amount of bombers will be lost.

And at the Army Research Institute, several chassis have already been developed for the new combat vehicle.

The territory of the Type 13 tank is indeed good, but it does not mean that it will always be the best, and according to some defects in the territory of the Type 13 tank, the Imperial Chinese Army Research Institute designed a new chassis based on these defects.

In order to design and manufacture these chassis, the research cost is relatively high. But for a big country like China, that's just a drop in the bucket.

What really costs money is the re-establishment of the chassis production line, and for the production line that already has a Type 13 tank, it is not cost-effective to rebuild the production line if it is just a chassis with a similar surname.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a chassis with a leap in quality, and then to remanufacture a new production line.

There has also been a great breakthrough in the research of combat vehicle technology, and the turbo exhaust gas technology has been successfully used in the combat vehicle engine.

As a result, the vehicle's engine has more power, and at the same time, fuel consumption has not increased.

Heavy tanks were also designed for this, which weighed 60 tons and had very thick armor, and the 75mm anti-tank self-propelled guns were helpless against such armor.

Like some howitzer, it's even more ineffective.

This kind of heavy combat vehicle is not planned to equip the troops at present, after all, the Type 13 tank is still very advanced, and other countries have not caught up for the time being, and even if they catch up, it can be used for a long time, after all, the Type 13 tank of the Chinese Army has a large scale.

The Type 13 tank is also a medium tank, not a heavy one.

The Army Research Institute has designed a light combat vehicle, which is mainly used for patrolling, guarding, and dealing with guerrillas without heavy firepower.

The Type 19 light tank is a very fast tank, very powerful, and very lightweight, with a machine gun on it and a 75mm smoothbore gun, which is very useful against the guerrillas, so the Imperial [***] Ministry decided to start equipping the Type 19 light tank on the Western Front this year.

At the same time, the Chinese Empire also has rocket technology research projects, radar technology research projects, and guidance technology research projects.

Some research projects may not be very mature, but Xia Jun has also set up, and if the conditions are not mature, he will study the theory first, and at the same time improve the foundation of immaturity.

Tesla's electric circle research is very fast, and this technology Tesla has basically perfected, and it has successfully manufactured electric circles in less than a month.

As for the later research on power transmission and reception, it is very simple.

Whether this technology should be applied or not remains to be considered. But Xia Jun decided to build a power station on the southern coast.

It is used to produce hydrogen fuel specifically for use in rockets.

If you use thermal power to make hydrogen fuel, it will be very costly, and it is very cheap to use electricity generated by Tesla's electric ring to make it.

Electrolysis of seawater to produce hydrogen fuel, and the manufacturing plant is built in a relatively secluded manner.

With the Tesla electric coil, it is possible to produce hydrogen fuel in large quantities, which greatly reduces the cost of rocket propulsion fuel.

Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are relatively common rocket fuels, which are expensive to manufacture and difficult to preserve, but they are also relatively easy to develop.

Other fuels can be studied slowly.

And what problems these projects encounter in research, Xia Jun can better use the exchange platform to solve, so the speed of scientific research is very fast.

…… By this time, the Sino-Russian coalition had advanced to Volgograd, and the area around the Caspian Sea had completely fallen under the control of New Russia.

One of the main strategic implications is that the Baku region is back in contention for oil.

The Baku region was an oil extraction site that could compete with the American Mobil Oil Company before the rise of China's East China Oil Company, and there was the Baku Kerosene Plant Owners Alliance.

However, with the development and rise of China's East China Petroleum Company, a large part of the world's oil share has been occupied by the East China Petroleum Company. The alliance of owners of the Baku kerosene plant is not very good. Later, when the revolution broke out in Russia and the region was occupied by the Soviet Union, the capitalists came to an end, and the union of owners of the Baku kerosene plant came to an end with it.

Giving the USSR oil production was a very bad result.

If the Baku region had been occupied, the Soviet Union would have basically no oil producers.

Russia's oil production area, in addition to the Baku region, is the Far East.

The Far East was bounded by the Nale River, and the eastern part of the country was ceded to China. The oil fields in the west area have also been circled by China's East China Petroleum Company.

Oil in the Baku region is not as abundant as in the Far East, but there are many oil and gas fields under the Caspian Sea, but no one has discovered them for the time being.

At this time, the Chinese Empire had already claimed 70% of the Caspian Sea sovereignty, because the Chinese Empire had already reached the Caspian Sea and signed a direct agreement with Russia to divide the Caspian Sea. China has 70% sovereignty over the Caspian Sea, and Russia has 30%.

The Caspian Sea has little economic value, and this is true in this era, although there are still some fish, but in reality it is not worth a few dollars.

As for China and Russia, the Caspian Sea was directly divided, and Britain could not even intervene in the talk.

Although Britain occupied Iran, there was also a touch on the Caspian Sea. But it was inland after all, and the British Navy couldn't drive there.

The British Navy could not even enter the Black Sea during the war, let alone the Caspian Sea, which had no roads.

In the Caspian region, China and Russia are the hegemons.

Britain is not stupid enough to go there to fight for food, not to mention that there is no interest in seeing. And Xia Jun had the foresight to encircle the Caspian Sea region.

Just because there are no interests now does not mean that there will be no interests in the future.

The Chinese Empire's control over energy was already very deep, and China had three major oil and gas producing areas at this time, one was the oil fields in the Russian Far East and the Far East occupied by China, which had begun to drill wells and lay pipelines, and the oil fields in this area were the safest and would not be controlled by others.

The second is oil extraction in the Arab Kingdom of Rashid, which extracts the most oil.

The third is the oil and gas in the territory of the newly established 'Middle East Province' of the empire, formerly Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Now that the Baku region has been conquered, oil from the Baku region will also be sent to China.

At this time, China has embarked on a crazy construction journey, and the first thing to do in crazy construction is energy, and it is a large amount of cheap energy to achieve high-efficiency crazy construction.

If the cost of energy is too high, then construction will be limited.

Enterprises can use electricity as much as they want, construction vehicles can also be fuel-efficient, and individuals can buy a diesel generator to use it casually.

Shipping costs are therefore very low, which makes it possible for more goods to be circulated.

The result of having energy is very luxurious, everything is extravagant.

It can be said that the United States can be very prosperous in the future, one of the main reasons is that their oil prices are very low, although it seems that the oil prices are about the same, but the problem is the purchasing power of the dollar in the United States, one dollar and one yuan in China is about the same, so the Yankees can use energy very luxuriously.

And the more backward the country, the more they cannot afford to use energy, which is too expensive.

Those backward countries are sharing inflation with the United States, and there is exploitation in itself.

At this time, China basically did not have too high taxes on energy, basically no oil refining taxes, and the price of energy was so low that you could buy a large barrel of oil for one yuan.

If the current one yuan is equal to 50 yuan or 100 yuan in the future generations, that is, 100 yuan is put in the future generations to refuel, how many liters can be added?

Moreover, in terms of oil extraction and refining technology, the technology used by China is the most advanced in the world, and it spends very little on labor costs.

The main profit of the East China Petroleum Company is not in the sale of refined oil, at least in China, although there is price competition in the international market, but there is still a profit in the refined oil.

East China Petroleum Company's main profit is in the by-products.

Such as plastics, fertilizers, washing products, asphalt, etc., the profitability of these by-products is very good.

Although the East China Petroleum Company is not very rich, it is not bad either.

The East China Petroleum Company basically monopolized the supply of oil for the entire country, but it did not take the opportunity to raise prices and make huge profits from it.

This is a policy reason, Xia Jun wants to use cheap energy to build the country.

Only when the price of energy is low can the construction of the country be unhindered. In terms of energy, it is no longer possible for the Chinese empire to be seized on by other countries to exploit its weaknesses.

The oil fields in the Far East alone could be enough to supply China's consumption needs if they were to expand their production.

However, at present, it is mainly extracted from the Arab Kingdom of Rashid, and if the lines of communication are cut off, there is enough time to expand oil production in the Far East with the current oil reserves.

The USSR was more miserable, lost Baku, and there was no oil.

Now even the Yankees have to ask for fuel, because without much oil, the development of the Soviet Union will be blocked, but the Soviet Union is already a mess by the Sino-Russian coalition forces at this time.

For China, relations with the Soviet Union at this time were like a cat playing with a mouse.

The USSR was not so scary, and if it had been really strong, it would not have been made like that by Germany.

Moreover, at this time, the Soviet Union did not have a huge strategic buffer space, and although the territory controlled by Nicholas II's new Russia was very low in development and the population was not large, it made the Soviet Union lose the room for strategic buffer.

No matter how much the mouse jumps, only the cat wins in the end.
