On the morning of July 20, Lin Jun got up early in the morning as usual, and Vuginskaya would have gone to the hospital. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info and a few staff officers had a casual breakfast, and then went to the study to make a phone call.

Today he will be busy, his schedule will be full, and Gusev will be on the phone: ask about the readiness of the airport.

Lin Jun's call was made to a secret research institute on the outskirts of Moscow, and the head of the institute replied only three times in a one-minute conversation: "Yes, Comrade Marshal." ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Jun hung up the phone: this institute was established with his own direct intervention, and it was directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Commission. Since it was a secret department planned by himself, he naturally became the direct leader of this institute, and there were no more than 10 leaders in the entire Soviet Union who knew about the existence of this institute.

What kind of institute does that need to be so secretive? Because its research project is a completely new drug, antibiotics, the current focus of research is on penicillin. After two years of research, the institute has successfully trial-produced products that can be used in the human body, but has not yet overcome the technical problems of mass production, and the output has not been high, and experts are trying to find a breakthrough.

The small number of them shows its preciousness, because the actual use of this new drug has a miraculous effect on the treatment of infections, and many of the wounded who were basically sentenced to death by the original treatment method have recovered after using penicillin!

Lin Jun called this time to ask the institute to work overtime and prepare an additional 500 single-injection doses of penicillin in three months.

His old friend, Dr. Bethune, died in the battle he loved - he fought with his scalpel until the last moment of his life. Lin Jun only learned the details of Bethune's death yesterday: if there had been a shot of penicillin at that time, the great internationalist fighter might not have fallen.

500 copies of the potion is not much, but this is already the limit of what the Soviet Union can produce at present. In the military hospitals of several large cities, those senior military doctors who have signed strict confidentiality agreements are waiting every day for this miraculous drug, and the patients who need him are in too much of a situation to produce enough now.

Three months later, Lin Jun would send a plane to secretly send these special medicines and a large number of other medicines and physiotherapy equipment to Yan'an by special plane -- this was what he thought of before going to bed last night. Vukinskaya could not imagine the hardships of the Eighth Route Army on the anti-Japanese front, and there were not even basic disinfectants in the hospital. This made Lin Jun feel a little ashamed, he couldn't do more, but he still had this right, he only needed all the medicines without labels, which was easy to do, and the central government would not trouble himself for this.

He can do it without informing the Central Committee, and now the entire Air Force is completely under his control, and Comrade Air Force Commander is in fact just the spokesman for his subordinates, but Lin Jun still plans to report this plan to the Kremlin, and Stalin will not be right.

The penicillin obtained by the doctors of the Eighth Route Army would be bottles without any identification, and the method of using them was an envelope with the word "top secret" written in Chinese characters by their own hands. The 500 vials will be handed over by their own envoys to guarantee the secrecy of the 500 vials - doctors do not need to know what they are, only that they need to know that they are a cure-all for serious infections.

500 copies, maybe 500 brave warriors can save the lives, and the doctors in Yan'an will understand their preciousness.

Yan'an was within the radius of activity of the Soviet long-range aviation, and Lin Jun also wanted to use this to support Yan'an as he had supported Nanjing three years ago, using transport planes to transport equipment and weapons and ammunition. But he has to think about more, and sometimes it's very helpless. If we do not consider all aspects, it is very likely that good intentions will do bad things, and let Germany and Japan once again unite strategically with the Soviet Union, which will not be good news for either China or the Soviet Union.

After making the call, Lin Jun left his home in Moscow with his entourage, and the guards were already ready to go downstairs. The convoy headed straight for the central airport, and two brand-new Ry-2 transport planes were waiting on the runway, along with the aircraft designer and Lin Jun's old friend Polikarpov.

Lin Jun's current physical condition has allowed him to take a transport plane, but the doctor requires that the flight altitude should not exceed 4,000 meters, so the flight altitude of the Li-2, which flew eastward after takeoff, has been maintained at 3,500 meters.

"The technology of the Americans is really good, comfort first, hehe." Lin Jun joked with the designer.

"I have to admit that the Americans are still very advanced in aviation technology. We have obtained its manufacturing technology and production license, which can be produced in large quantities for use in civilian passenger transport and military transport. As a veteran Soviet aircraft designer, Borikarpov did not mean to belittle others at all, which is one of the reasons why he can be called a "world-famous aircraft designer".

The Li-2 is actually an imitation of the Douglas DC-3 passenger plane in the United States, which is a high-performance passenger aircraft with advanced performance and medium range in various technologies. This was of great value to the Soviet Union, which had a vast area and many remote areas without land passages, and met the needs of the Soviet civil aviation, which had made great progress in the past two years.

More than an hour later, a huge airport appeared in the field of vision of Lin Jun and others, through the porthole Lin Jun could see several old Tebo-3 heavy bombers on the tarmac, and a new four-engine heavy bomber that had only been seen on the drawings, which should be the Pe-8 that he was going to inspect today.

The airport has several huge hangar-style buildings, as well as a number of auxiliary buildings on the side, all of which indicate that it is an important aviation base. As it was, this was the most important Soviet bomber test base.

Petryakov and the base personnel were already waiting by the runway, and Lin Jun was warmly welcomed as soon as he got off the plane.

"Hello, Comrade Marshal."

"Good work, Comrade Bertryakov."

The gray-haired aircraft designer in front of him can be said to be the first person to design a Soviet heavy bomber, and Stalin once said in history: "If you want a big plane, look for Tupolev." ”

Although Betriakov is now affiliated with Tupolev's design bureau, he has an independent design group, and if he had not died in an accident in 1942, Stalin might have said in the future: "If you want a big plane, look for Bertryakov." ”

Petryakov was the first person to design large aircraft in the Soviet Union.

"Andrey, shall we go to the office first, or shall we?"

"I've seen enough of the materials and drawings, you know what I like."

As an old friend who became a good friend when Lin Jun was a major, Polykarpov was probably the only person in the whole Soviet Union who could call Lin Jun Andrei, and the others had to respectfully address Comrade Marshal no matter how high their status was.

No amount of reading on the drawings has not seen the feeling of seeing a real aircraft, let alone entering its interior.

It was a simple, slender four-engine heavy bomber with a very modern look (for the 40s). If you compare it with it, the "Lancaster" heavy bomber that the British are still trying to produce is like a big grasshopper with teeth and claws, let alone the two Tebo-3s on the side.

Lin Jun's intervention made the Soviet bombers also enter the era of strong firepower early, and this trial production of the Pi-8 is exactly the same as the production type, with first-class self-defense firepower all over the body, like a big hedgehog armed to the teeth.

"Comrade Marshal, during the preliminary design, we originally planned to use the overall sealed cabin mechanism in the experimental stage on the Pi-8, and we also wanted to use remote control control for the self-defense fire system. However, because there are still several key technologies of the remote-controlled weapon system that are not mature, it was finally decided to use relatively mature existing technologies. ”

Lin Jun looked around the plane, and Bertriakov on the side introduced.

"Your decision is very good, waiting for technology is not the way, sometimes we have to use the existing mature technology in a timely manner, and get the equipment we need as soon as possible."

Nonsense, the world's first really successful use of those two technologies on airplanes was the B-29 a few years later by the Americans, and it was not a way to force it on.

"If the technology matures in the future, can it be changed?"

"Yes, Comrade Marshal. It would be a big change, which would greatly improve the performance of the aircraft, reduce flight resistance, and reduce some dead weight. ”

In fact, the Pi-8 in front of me is already very good, not "the kind of problematic Peter-8", the advanced double-row fourteen-cylinder star-shaped air-cooled engine, which can send out a single 1530 horsepower of strong take-off power, and it does not cost much fuel.

With a strong and reliable power guarantee and good aerodynamic shape, its maximum bomb load reaches 5,300 kg when a full set of self-defense weapons are ready, and if it only carries 1,500 kg of bombs, the range can exceed 5,000 km!

The longbow of the Soviets is powerful and has a long range. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
