Chapter 358: Nirvana Project
At this time, the turbine engine that Xiong Dazhen was responsible for manufacturing had been the result of more than two years of improvement, and compared with other powers, he had accumulated considerable experience. The industrial base of the Republic of China at this time was still quite weak, and even if it won the War of Resistance in advance, it would be difficult to compete with the Soviet Union on an industrial scale, so Jiang Li could only use the advantages of the traverser to lay out some weapons in advance, in order to face the Soviet Union not so weak after the victory of the War of Resistance. It won't take long for the jet aircraft in the Northwest to be developed, but another plan makes Jiang Li feel very tricky, using scientists recruited from the Jews, as well as overseas students who have returned from graduation, although the Northwest has secretly set up a uranium group, and even can produce a small amount of heavy water, but it still takes a certain amount of courage to fully activate the plan inside the drawer. After all, once the Nirvana Plan is launched, it means that a lot of manpower, material and financial resources will be invested in it, which will inevitably affect the investment in other aspects in the northwest, and even affect the process of the War of Resistance because it occupies a considerable part of the resources.
"I hope sharpening the knife will not cut firewood by mistake!" After a long time, Jiang Li sighed and lifted the phone, "Start the Nirvana Project!" ”
There was no reply on the phone, but Jiang Li hung up the phone directly, because that person couldn't speak, it was Dou Yuren, the chief instructor of the special operations brigade that Jiang Li was cultivating. The development of electricity in the northwest is the fastest, compared with the booming industry in the northwest, all aspects of resources are insufficient, but there is a considerable surplus of electricity, and this surplus electricity was originally paved for the Nirvana plan. These include the establishment of heavy water factories, the dispatch of expedition teams in Xinjiang, and even into Central Asia to collect uranium ore. The amount of money that has been laid has also reached tens of millions of dollars. Although it is more than a notch lower than the luxurious lineup of the Manhattan research team. But compared to the first atomic bomb program after the founding of the country. At first, there were only two or three tents, and the conditions in the northwest were relatively comfortable at this time. Roads and airports have been built to the selected experimental bases, and experimental and daily necessities will be transported by car for the time being, and within two years, the railways dedicated to the experimental bases will also be repaired. In terms of talents, a number of international students have returned one after another since the year before last, and now there are more than 1,000 people returning to China every year. In recent years, the cooperation with Germany, including the research of some physics laboratories, has cultivated a large number of physics talents for the northwest, and with the Jewish physical scientists received from Germany, such a project can already be launched. Although the conditions were also a little more difficult, it was not completely unprepared.
The nail phone rang again.
"Hey, I'm Jiang Li!"
"Commander, the improved bazooka has arrived, do you want to take a look?" Wang Tiehan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Naturally, I'm going." Jiang Li smiled when he heard this, and went out with his military coat.
The car soon stopped at the rake yard at the station of the Guards Regiment. There was only Wang Tiehan on the huge field, and Ma Zhanshan and two or so young guards were present. Not far away there is also a tank that is close to being scrapped.
"The commander will not come again. Humble duty should be tried first. Ma Zhanshan said with a smile, since entering the northwest, all kinds of weapons have emerged in an endless stream, and Ma Zhanshan has also been involved in the same hobby as other high-level officials, but whenever there are any new weapons, he always likes to come and see in person. In the past, when I was in the Northeast Army, as a side branch of the Northeast Army, most of the weapons I received were eliminated from the lineage, and it was difficult to get any good goods.
However, in the northwest, it is not uncommon to see some new weapons, which are not purchased from foreigners, but manufactured in their own arsenals. This mentality is like a poor man who always likes to count his newly earned money. Just as some time ago, when Jiang Li went to Sichuan, the new tank named "Tomahawk" newly developed in the northwest was much better than the Avenger 2 tank in terms of performance, with a mileage of an astonishing 136 kilometers on dirt roads and an off-road speed of more than 23 kilometers per hour. The equipped 47MM tank gun replaced the previous 37mm tank gun of the Avenger, and at this time the countries were still dominated by 37MM tank guns, the caliber of the "Tomahawk" tank gun was enough to penetrate most of the tanks in service of the great powers head-on. FOR THE KIND OF SMALL IRON SHEET OF THE JAPANESE, WHETHER IT IS HIT ON THE FRONT OR THE SIDE, IT IS BASICALLY A SHOT TO DEATH, WHICH IS IMPROVED FROM THE AVENGERS, THE PREVIOUS TANKS ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO TYPES: MACHINE GUN TYPE AND ARTILLERY TYPE, AND THE CURRENT TOMAHAWK IS NOT ONLY EQUIPPED WITH A 47MM GUN, BUT ALSO EQUIPPED WITH TWO MACHINE GUNS, WITH 3,000 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION, WHICH INTEGRATES THE ABILITY TO STRIKE AT THE INFANTRY AND THE TANK. Every time he sees this big guy weighing more than twenty-three tons, Ma Zhanshan always likes it from the bottom of his heart, and these generals, who are used to living a hard life, will attach great importance to these things. Seeing that the tanks in the northwest were able to overwhelm the Japanese, Ma Zhanshan always had a feeling that it was not very real. In the past, the Northeast Army could only select the Japanese leftovers, although the Northeast set up an arsenal, but many of the technicians hired were Japanese, and they also imitated Japanese weapons, and many of the artillery produced by the original Fengtian Arsenal were imitations of the Japanese 38 type. And now all the guns produced are German-style, and the Feng Type 918 semi-automatic rifle is more practical than the German-style Mauser in terms of rate of fire and ammunition load.
In front of him, the arsenal had come up with this kind of strange-looking weapon, how could it not attract Ma Zhanshan's attention.
"That's not going to work, I'm the boss, I've got to look at this thing first." Jiang Li laughed when he heard Ma Zhanshan's words.
Ma Zhanshan, Wang Tiehan also smiled when he heard this, I heard that Chairman Jiang of Nanjing was a very dignified person, and as long as the commander in front of him did not move the collective interests of the northwest, he would still get along very well.
"Let's start the test launch, and let's see how powerful this new weapon is." Ma Zhanshan urged.
"Okay, Commander, Chief of Staff, wait a moment." The guard quickly carried the bazooka on his shoulder, ran to the shooting position, aimed at the place where it was parked 100 or so meters away, and pulled the trigger for firing. With a whoosh, the warhead on the rocket launcher flew out and hit the steel plate of the tank, followed by a loud bang, and the flames scattered in a cloud and were visible everywhere. Although the original tank did not explode completely, a large hole had been blown out of the place where it was hit, and if there were people inside, it was estimated that they would not have been spared after this blow.
"The experimental tank is similar to the Avenger's defense, and the firing distance is about 135 meters, that is, the tank that can also kill the Japanese with one shot at this distance, but the distance is too close, can't it be farther?" Wang Tiehan stared at the weapon in the guard's hand and asked with a glittering gaze. (To be continued.) )
