In fact, Lin Jun's memory is still a little different, probably because the Western world calls those Soviet ground-effect aircraft that they don't understand "Caspian Sea monsters". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the strict sense of the word, the designation "Caspian Sea Monster" is more appropriate for the KM ground-effect vehicle designed by Roskislav-Yevgenyivich Alekseev. However, from the concept of "monster" alone, the water anti-submarine VVA-14 medium vertical take-off and water-land aircraft designed by Robert Orozdi Baltini is even more "monster"!

Why is it more like a monster? One is performance: it can be used on land, on water and snow, and even at sea. And one of the most important design indicators is the ability to take off and land vertically!

The second reason is its appearance: strange to the point that it is difficult to describe, not like an airplane, not like a ship, but like a product of science fiction or a "super flying machine" drawn by a child! If you have to describe what it looks like, the VVA-14 shape can be called a combination of an airplane and a catamaran! A whole super monster that can fly!

The title "Caspian Sea Monster" is given to ground-effect aircraft, but in the strict sense of the word, VVA-14 is not a ground-effect aircraft in the true sense: the original intention of the Soviet Union was to be a heavy-duty vertical take-off and water-land aircraft for water anti-submarine warfare, with combined wings, which can take off and land on land, snow and water, and even sail on water, which is a revolutionary aircraft.

But because the manufacturer responsible for supplying the engine was unable to come up with a product that met the standards, Baldini was forced to change it to a seaplane, which made its first flight in 1972. But like most of the designer's work, the plan was aborted due to the lack of support from the Soviet Navy.

But in that respect, VVA-14 is definitely a "monster", and it is unknown whether it has ever appeared in the Caspian Sea.

This time, Lin Jun did not hesitate to "shoot" the designer's somewhat idealized liquid rocket-powered fighter design plan, which seems to be a bit ruthless, but it should be correct in terms of the actual changes in world aviation -- jet power is the correct development direction of fighter power for at least a century in the future, and the use of liquid rocket engines is not in line with the development of aviation technology and technology.

Several aviation powers have basically engaged in the design of liquid rocket-powered aircraft, but they are either "emergency" designs like those of Germany in the late World War II, or technical verification machines or test machines purely for speed: liquid rocket engines have a flaw that is always impossible to solve, that is, endurance!

Early flying anti-ship missiles powered by liquid rockets had a limited range and were replaced by jet power, not to mention fighters – successful fighters were not "bantams" that "jumped off the rack and broke away and returned to airfields after an attack."

The combat radius is very important, and liquid rocket power is not only dangerous, this "combat radius" is definitely intolerably short in actual use: liquid rocket power, or leave it to the technical verification machine after the war, at least through the most brutal period!

However, talents like Baltini can't be wasted, Zhukov's original technical strength plus Gorky's "transition" technicians are still a little weak for "Ghost" to let him play the technical strength.

Although the "Ghost" is in a flyable state, it needs to be modified in many ways to form combat effectiveness, and the design of adding one member alone is enough for Nikolai Triteljevich Gaidar and others to rack their brains in actual operation!

The design team of the "Ghost" is either novices or academic researchers of the academy, and Baltini, a designer with a lot of practical design experience (although not much in mass production), just leads a group of designers who are brave enough to perfect the "Ghost".

Pressing the electric bell on his desk, Gusev quickly walked in. walked to Lin Jun's desk and stood upright, but did not speak.

As soon as he looked up, he picked up the folder and handed it forward: "This will be transferred to the Aviation Committee immediately, and they will do it immediately." ”

"Yes, Marshal."

Taking the folder, Gusev turned to leave.

Lin Jun picked up the telephone again, "Pick me up from Dean Arkhipov of the Zhukov Academy." ”

After finishing speaking, he put down the earpiece and continued to read the documents, and the switchboard room would call.

The Kremlin's telephone switchboard immediately moved quickly and connected to the computer room of the Zhukov Academy; They first picked up the president's office, and after learning that Comrade General had gone to the airport, they connected to the airport duty phone.

As soon as Arkhipov heard that it was a call from the Kremlin, he immediately left what he was doing to answer it.

As soon as the Kremlin switchboard heard that the person had been found, he connected to the deputy commander's office again, and the phone in front of Lin Jun rang.

This call needs to be manually transferred, and Lin Jun is still a little unaccustomed to it over the years: it seems that he has returned to a very young age, and he will have to manually transfer the call. Accustomed to the convenience of digital mobile phones, back to the era of manual phone transfer, this most advanced communication method is so awkward in my eyes!

But what's the solution? Before the relative maturity of computer technology, not to mention mobile phones, even program-controlled telephone exchanges could not appear, let alone what an electronic computer was, no one even knew what an electronic computer was: the world's first program-controlled telephone exchange did not appear until 1965 -- Sagasana in the United States opened 2,000 air-division program-controlled telephone exchanges.

"Vasily Afaevich, how are the test flights of the Ghost going?"

"Andrey, everything is going well with the prototype, we have measured its parameters, and the second prototype has been assembled. However, the two-seater conversion work encountered some difficulties. In addition, we were unable to communicate with our brother units to seek technical support, and we encountered some difficulties. But it will be overcome, the technicians are very motivated and work very hard. ”

Because the level of secrecy of the "ghost" was high enough, so high that it was impossible to find designers from other design bureaus to consult them, Zhukov could only complete the modification and testing relatively independently, and at most get the following contacts with Gorky.

However, the test flight of the I-20 is in full swing over there, and the help that can be given to Zhukov is really limited.

"That's right, I've got you guys a good aircraft designer as a technical reinforcement. For the change of the two-seater, let him be fully responsible, and you see if those young people will have fluctuations in their thinking. ”

"There will be no problem, Andrey, Gaidar is very humble in his current work, and in many ways he will ask for advice from my technician here."

"That's fine, I've signed the appointment. Do you have an impression of Robert Orodisi Baltini? ”

"Yes, the designers of the Steel-6 fighter, talented comrades."

"He should be here for you in the next few days, you can arrange it."

"Okay, Andrei." There was a pause in the phone, "When can you come back, the two little ones always miss you." ”

"Hehe, as soon as possible."

After speaking, Lin Jun hung up the phone, continued to pick up a document at the bottom and continued to look at it.

Most of this pile of documents is about troop movements and rear production, and when he was waiting for the phone just now, Lin Jun flipped through the last one, and the result was the same as the third one, which belonged to the development and production of new weapons, but it was not like Baltini who was engaged in research and research on what kind of "high-precision" technology.

Although it is not as advanced as a liquid rocket engine-powered fighter, the creativity is unique enough: the development of the two weapons is really "not afraid of not being able to do it, but afraid of not being able to think of it"!

The report was sent to the Armament Department by the former Moscow Canning and Packing Factory, now the Moscow Grenade and Mine Manufacturing Plant, and their technicians have developed two new weapons in accordance with the actual combat needs of the troops.

The armament department is directly in charge of the deputy commander, but the report on the two newly developed weapons will not appear on Lin Jun's desk, probably because his office director thinks that the deputy commander of the two new weapons will like it, so he puts it at the end.

Lin Jun's liking for small inventions is known to the entire Soviet high-level, and those two new inventions are really distinctive!

War is a catalyst for the development of new weapons, but how many people know that a lot of creative research will disappear in the war - if there is a defense of Moscow "as always", these two designs may not appear, because the designers will not be given that time to think, and just producing as many original products as possible will drain all human energy!

"Landskozy, prepare to go to the Moscow mine plant."

The Captain of the Guard replied, "Yes, Marshal." ”

But the Cossacks still have something: "Marshal, Chinese food is ready, you see?" ”

"Then half an hour late, let's eat first."

Now the comrades showed the ability to gobble up in the trenches, and on the whole, the deputy commander was still very humane and very good to his subordinates.

、、、、、、

Just as the workers of the mine factory were eating, Lin Jun's motorvoy arrived.

For the visit of the deputy commander, the comrades of the workers were enthusiastic about production: Lin Jun saw that the factory did not rest at noon, and many comrades just made a piece of bread for themselves by the machine and drank some hot soup from the trolley in the canteen to solve the problem of eating.

For Lin Jun's sudden visit, Comrade Factory Director did not have the good psychological quality of ordinary workers, and he was almost shocked! Especially when he got the news and rushed to the grenade assembly workshop No. 2 and saw the deputy commander talking to the workers.

Although it is guaranteed that eating will never interfere with production, eating lunch in the workshop is a violation of basic factory safety regulations! In order to increase production as much as possible, the factory privately decided to solve the problem of eating in the workshop, but what if the deputy commander is not happy?!

The teacups were on the edge of the workbench, and the bread.

Finally "verifying the body" was allowed into the workshop by the deputy commander's guards, Lin Jun's words made the factory director comrade let go of the big stone in his heart, "Comrade factory director, we usually have to do a good job in the logistics of safe and efficient production to ensure that the comrades can eat enough and eat as well as possible." I've already tasted the hot soup in your canteen, it's not bad, if it can be delivered hotter, it would be better, let the comrades in the canteen try to wrap the insulated bucket with sack slices. ”

"Yes, Deputy Commander-in-Chief. We will definitely do a good job in logistics, produce more reliable weapons to support the front line, and fight the fascists hard! “

In fact, Lin Jun had long noticed those teacups and various soup containers, which violated the production regulations, and he also knew that this violated the production regulations, but he was not picky when he saw that the workers were very responsible in putting the Chinese rice in a position that would not affect production.

"I heard that you have developed two new weapons, take me to see them."

"Yes, Deputy Commander."

As they walked, a group of people said that they were going to the small test workshop on the other side of the factory, which was also the scientific research center of the mine factory. In addition to providing technical guidance on factory production, several technicians transferred from the original mine and grenade production enterprises also carried out some technological innovations, all in order to save raw materials.

However, the research on the two new weapons was not the idea of a professional technician, and although the prototype production technicians contributed, the original idea was of a disabled soldier who had recovered from the army.

Ivan Grigorievich Lasslov, former warrant officer of ordnance of the troops directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was responsible for the storage and maintenance of explosive weapons such as mines and grenades for the infantry. Participated in the defense of the Brest Fortress, made meritorious contributions, was seriously wounded in battle, and was treated in the field hospital and in the hospital in Moscow for 4 months!

Unable to continue serving in the army due to physical reasons, the warrant officer had no choice but to recover. Because he is a Muscovite, he was assigned to work here according to his personal requirements and comprehensive considerations.

Raslov was unable to participate in front-line production, and the factory originally arranged for the combat hero to work in the office, but he insisted on doing some actual production.

"I had the technology, I had experience in the maintenance of ammunition, and finally I got to the test workshop. We did not arrange any practical work for him, but Comrade Warrant Officer still tried his best to give full play to his strengths, and he not only went to the equipment workshop to see and guide the new workers, but also used his time to engage in scientific research. ”

It seems that Raslov still likes to be called a warrant officer by others, and nothing else: although he has left the army, he is still a soldier in his bones.

When he saw Raslov, Lin Jun understood why the factory did not arrange actual sex work for him: his right hand was gone, and although he was wearing a thick winter coat, he could also see that he should have a prosthetic leg below the knee on his left leg, and there were terrible scars on his face! “

"Injuries from close range explosions!" Lin Jun knew at a glance how seriously Comrade Warrant Officer had been injured at that time.

"Comrade Marshal, Ivan Grigorievich Raslov, former warrant officer of the 17th Frontier Corps of the NKVD of the Brest Fortress, technical worker of the Moscow Mine Plant, reports to you."

When he saw Lin Jun about to talk to him, Raslov stood up and saluted the marshal with his left hand.

"Take a break, Comrade warrant officer."

Lin Jun was also upright, returned a standard military salute, and addressed him by military rank.

The guard brought over a few stools, and Lin Jun asked Lasslov to sit down first, and then sit on the stools himself.

Comrade Warrant Officer has engaged in two new designs, designs that are ahead of the times!

The trial production workshop has already trial-produced samples, and when the two weapons with slightly rough craftsmanship were sent to Lin Jun, he felt that time had been accelerated?!

The first weapon is like a short stick, properly called a rocket grenade! And the second weapon is more distinctive, the real one is "not afraid of not being able to do it, afraid of not being able to think of it": low-speed grenade launcher!

He is not familiar with rocket grenades, but what grenade launchers mean to infantry Lin Jun is clear in his heart! Although it will not be the main battle weapon in the Soviet-German battlefield where tanks, artillery and dive bombers fight large-scale in-depth assault warfare.
