After entering the heavily guarded hangar at the airport attached to the college, Lin Jun saw the Messerschmitt 109B2 that had caused him a "psychological disorder". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Although I have fought it in the air before, the feeling of touching him with my own hands is still quite shocking.

"This is 109, the pride of the Luftwaffe!" Lin Jun thought. It's featured in almost every movie about the European theater of World War II, and now there's a 109 in front of you, and it's so wonderful.

There were quite a few people in the hangar, and in addition to the technicians, there were more than a dozen guards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"This is an order from above, we must ensure the safety of this plane, and we must absolutely block the news." It was Alexander who spoke.

In the crowd, Lin Jun recognized two "celebrities", one of whom he had met before at the Zhukov Academy, when he came for training, but Lin Jun and he did not know each other, and the other had never met, only in the profile photo of his previous life: they were Anushawan Mikoyan (this is his official name, but everyone used to call him by his nickname: Artem Mikoyan) and Mikhail Grevich - the founder of the MiG dynasty! They are now working in the Central Design Bureau, and they have led other designers to form an independent design group -- this is what Polikarpov told Lin Jun on the way here: several design groups with young designers as the main body have been formed, and it is estimated that a new aircraft design bureau will be formed soon.

Pori Karpov also introduced Lin Jun to all the aircraft designers who studied here in the hangar, so that Lin Jun got to know not only Mikoyan and Grevich, but also Yarishanda-Segjevich Yakovlev, Lavokin, Gorbunov and Gudkov. Famous Soviet fighter designers from World War II are all here.

As the chief designer of the Central Aircraft Design Bureau and the oldest designer here, Polykarpov played the role of "narrator".

"It's not very dynamic, but the unanimous opinion of all of us is that there is a lot of room for development, this is completely just a prototype, and there are many things that can be improved. That Dr. Messerschmitt would also understand this, so once he had perfected all the flaws of this plane, we would have ten troublesome opponents to face. ”

"Is the plane repaired like this? Have you ever flown a test flight? Lin Jun asked.

"We've repaired all the broken parts and we've returned to flyable condition, but we haven't had time to test fly yet. And the captured German pilot was very uncooperative, and we could not get what we needed from him. ”

"Comrade Alexander, where is the German pilot now?" For the unlucky German pilot, Lin Jun is still relatively "sympathetic", and the most pilot, although everyone is an enemy, but there is still a taste of "sympathy".

"Comrade Andrei, he is still in the interrogation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we are working on the rebellion. But as far as I know, this German is very determined, we used all the humane methods, and he just didn't speak. And the orders from above don't allow us to use extreme methods, so there is no progress yet. Alexander looked a little helpless: they tried everything, but they just didn't work.

"How old is that pilot?"

“24。”

"Then you go with me to your interrogation office tomorrow, and I'll talk to him, I don't know if I can get him to speak. Also, even without the help of the Germans, we have to test fly this plane as soon as possible, and we also have good test pilots. I don't believe it, without the butcher, we have to eat hairy pigs! ”

How did Lin Jun get that German pilot to cooperate? But it is also a threat to gali inducement. The Germans should have understood that it was impossible for him to return to Germany after he was secretly sent to the Soviet Union, and even if he was released later, he would be greeted by the secret police and military courts. And he never tried to end his life, which shows that this young man still wants to live. And the Ministry of Internal Affairs' rebellion work has not made progress for a while, and it is very likely that he is hostile to these people, in fact, anyone would be like this, and few like them. It may be better to use people with "common occupations" to counter the situation.

"I hope that Comrade Andrei's method will work, and with the help of that German, the technical data will be obtained much faster and with a lot less danger." It was Polikarpov who spoke.

All the designers knew about the capture of the pilot, so there was no need to keep it secret here, and there was no need to worry about others in the hangar leaking it, they all had the authority to know the specifics.

Lin Jun inquired about the situation of the 301 Aviation Plant presided over by Lavocin, and Stalin introduced to him: The new design of the young designers of the 301 Plant is very good, and the aerodynamic shape is even better than the German 109B.

"We have now completed the overall design, and the fuselage and wings are all made of wood, except for the necessary parts, which can greatly speed up production and reduce the cost. Now we are waiting for the engine research institute to provide a suitable engine, and Comrade Klimov over there is designing an excellent in-line engine, and our design is designed for this engine in reverse. LaWalkin introduced Lin Jun.

"What is the damage resistance of an all-wood aircraft?" Although I knew that the pull plane had superior performance, it was always a little strange to fly the "wooden plane" to participate in the battle.

"We have considered this in the design, and the fuel tank of the aircraft is a self-sealing fuel tank, which is relatively good in damage resistance."

"You're going to use this kind of firepower?" This is also something that Lin Jun is very concerned about.

"According to the above design indicators, we chose a 20-mm ШВКА cannon and two improved 12.7-mm ШВКА aviation machine guns for the new design. Although the aircraft gun is one less than the existing I-16, the reserve ammunition has been increased to 150 rounds, and the two large-caliber machine guns fixed to the wings will have a reserve of 300 to 400 rounds, which will not be determined until the new engines are equipped. ”

"Did you try the cannon with coordination?"

"No, Comrade Andrei. The muzzle is in the propeller shaft, and Comrade Klimov's design allows us to do so. If new aviation weapons appear in the future, they can also be easily modified in the design, and we have already made technical reservations. ”

At this time, Polikarpov, who had been listening to the conversation between Lin Jun and Lawokin, interjected a few words: "I have also seen the all-wooden model of this aircraft designed by Comrade Lawokin, Gorbunov and Gudkov, and it is indeed a very good light fighter design. In particular, they have technical reserve space in the design of the aircraft structure, which can be easily modified later, and the design time required for the modification is very short. ”

Lin Jun knows that this is related to the volume ratio of the aircraft itself, for example, although the current 109B has an okay floor area ratio, it is more crowded after being equipped with large-caliber weapons.

"The biggest flaw of a light fighter is its short range, Comrade Lavokin, what is the combat radius of the aircraft you designed?"

"In the case of still having combat reserves, the use of in-flight fuel is about 300 kilometers, which can basically meet the needs of a front-line fighter. And now the Central Aircraft Design Bureau, where Comrade Polikarpov works, has recently designed several wing drop tanks made of cardboard, which will greatly increase the combat radius of the aircraft, and the cost of use is very low, and we are now making design modifications according to the scheme that can carry drop fuel tanks. ”

"Our newly designed paper fuel tank has been extensively tested on the Yi 16, and its reliability can meet the requirements, and it is stronger than the original paper fuel tank, and it is not easy to mold. We have designed a total of 200, 300 and 500 litre models, and the new aircraft can be selected according to your needs. The newly improved I-16-3 fighter has a range of more than 1,200 kilometers after carrying the auxiliary fuel tank. ”

Speaking about the new design of his own design bureau, Polikarpov was somewhat proud.

"The I-16-3 fighter was just finalized last month?"

"Yes, we've made changes to the engine, with 50 hp more power, a maximum level flight speed of 470 km, and improved handling. The configuration of the firepower was also modified, the two machine guns on the outside of the wing were eliminated, and two ПВ-1 coordinated machine guns were added to the nose, but the ammunition reserve of the machine guns was reduced to 500 rounds each. Because of the space in the wings, we increased the ammunition reserve of the two guns to 150 rounds each, and the size of the fuel tanks in the wings was also somewhat larger. In general, the firepower of the Type III remains at the level of the original Yi-16 model. ”

"500 rounds of 7.62mm machine gun ammunition for 60 rounds of artillery shells and more fuel oil, I think it is worth the comparison, but our pilots must learn not to blindly sweep, but to kill the enemy in one shot. But then again, 500 rounds of machine gun ammunition is enough, and it is definitely enough to make the enemy drink a pot in battle, not to mention that we still have 300 shells! ”

Lin Jun knew the great lethality of this 20mm cannon to existing aircraft, and this was what only the Soviet Union, which had always liked heavy firepower, would do: the Germans had only 2 7.92mm machine guns on the 109 so far, and even in the C type, there were only 4 7.92mm machine guns, and it was installed after the aircraft gun was developed to the E type. Although the French MS.405 fighter (the prototype of the MS.406 fighter) had already installed a 20-mm cannon, its cannon was too slow to fire and not to mention its low reliability. The existing fighters of the Soviet Union are absolutely superior in terms of firepower alone, and even the existing P-36 in the United States is armed with only one 12.7 mm machine gun and two 7.62 guns.

"Is there an I-16 Type III in the academy? At present, the new fighter is still in the development stage, and we still need the I-16 to defend the sky. ”

"Originally, a batch of shipments from the manufacturing plant had to be shipped over a few days ago, but because of its reasons, the time for the allocation to the academy was temporarily postponed." Polikarpov pointed to the 109 and said.

"I don't think there will be a conflict, so let's let the manufacturing unit send a few planes, and the number doesn't need to be too much." Lin Jun said.

Porikarpov pointed to Alexander next to him: "This can be agreed by our Comrade Alexander first." ”

He's in charge of secrecy, and of course he has to nod.

"Of course there is no problem, Comrade Andrei. It's just that the comrades who come to deliver the plane in this way need to stay in the academy for a while. For Lin Jun's request, of course, Alexander tried his best to meet it.

"There's no need to be so troublesome, when the time comes, find two flight instructors in the academy who know the situation here, and the comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will accompany them to the factory, and let the comrades here fly over directly."

"Okay, no problem, there are several excellent pilot comrades who participated in the research group."

"In fact, all the people in the plant now, except for the people from the department to which Comrade Alexander belongs, are excellent pilots. The Zhukovsky Academy may be lacking in other things, the only thing that is not lacking is good pilots. Arkhipov, who had not spoken for a long time, said this with a big grin when he heard that he wanted his people to accept the new plane. He was not afraid that Alexander, who had been going to arrest him, would be unhappy: the contact in the past few days had taught him that Alexander was not a "stingy" person, and that at the moment everyone was on good terms.

"Then Arkhipov will arrange the manpower. If I were a few years younger, I would also like to learn to fly an airplane, and it would be nice to be able to fly. "I didn't expect that Alexander, the Cheka, also had a "dream" of becoming a pilot.

"It's not too late, if you just want to learn general flying techniques, I guarantee that you can fly solo in a week, of course, only on the trainer plane." It was Arkhipov who spoke.

"Really?"

"I vouch for my party spirit!" Arkhipov patted his chest and said.

"It seems that our Comrade Alexander has the potential to become the oldest cadet in the history of the Zhukovsky Air Force Academy, of course, in terms of learning to fly aircraft." The only one who could "ridicule" him like this was Lin Jun, "Don't worry, Comrade Alexander, I will be your flight instructor when the time comes." ”

"Okay, that's it. When the time comes, I will come to the academy to learn to fly as soon as I have time, and Comrade Andrei will take care of the food! ”

"Yes, there are more good comrades who come to my house to eat!"

The people who had eaten at Lin Jun's house all laughed when they heard this, while the others who had not been there were a little puzzled.

"The dishes cooked by Comrade Andrei are definitely the best in all of Moscow." Polikarpov explained this to other designers.

"Forget it, tomorrow I invite the designer comrades to dinner at home, anyway, the raw materials will be provided by Comrade Alexander."

After a small episode about the dinner, a group of people returned to today's topic. Lin Jun also went into the cockpit to feel it, and he found that all the instruments and control devices in it had new Russian identification symbols next to the German identification symbols, and it should be said that the technicians were doing a very good job.

After closing the cockpit, the 109B cockpit gave Lin Jun the feeling that it was a little narrow, and the pilot's vision was really bad - this was the same as recorded in history.

After opening the cockpit, Lin Jun poked his head out and said to the people outside: "Comrade designers, you must not design a cockpit with such a bad sight, or I will definitely bring the pilot comrades to find you trouble!" I reckon you'll be strangled to death by the valiant fighter pilots! ”

Lin Jun's tone is of course comical, in fact, the designers have already gone in to feel the feeling of the pilot inside: the sight is not good, it is everyone's unanimous opinion.

Lin Jun's tone became a little serious again: "Also, I heard that the cockpit canopy of an aircraft designed by a comrade designer can only be opened from the outside with the help of a mechanic, which is not good: no matter how good the performance of such an aircraft is, the comrade pilot will not like it, and it will become a flying coffin!" If I had come across a canopy like this in Madrid, it would have been there. Of course, I won't name them here, just correct them. ”

Who is Lin Jun talking about? It was the famous Mikoyan and Grevich who would become famous: the cockpit of their MiG-1 was such a fatal play at such a critical moment.
