After coming out of the nuclear power plant, Chen Shao did not stay, and went directly to the scientific research laboratory of the "Bamboo Dragonfly" research project.

The helicopter research project has been established for some years. Like many weapons and equipment, Chen Shao did not count on everything on the Red Police. No matter when the Red Alert's weapon comes out, Chen Shao will not waste his time waiting. If you have time to wait, you might as well have more time to develop your own weapons. Even if the weapons and equipment produced are not as good as those of the Red Police, they can at least lay a solid foundation for various technologies. Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and only a solid foundation can build a skyscraper.

It's the same with technology, if you don't understand the principle of a weapon, how can you produce and use it? For example, now that the Red Alert weapon can be built, you have made a missile car, but you don't know anything, what the principle of the missile is, what matters need to be paid attention to, and how to use it better. Even if you figure out how to use it, whether you have the ability to research more powerful missiles, you don't even know the principle of missiles, how to upgrade them.

Chen Shao knows very well that even if the red police weapon comes out, it is very advanced. But how long can it be advanced? Chen Shao has no bottom on this. Even if you are strong for twenty years, what can you do, can you kill the whole world? This is obviously impossible. And once twenty years later, other people's weapons and equipment have developed, and you are still at the level of twenty years ago, then what to do?

Without a solid foundation, without a large amount of foundation for scientific and technological development, and without a foundation in scientific and technological capabilities, even if it is given a large amount of advanced weapons and equipment, it will only be able to use it. Only by digesting these advanced weapons and equipment for our own use and being able to thoroughly understand every piece of science and technology can we improve and upgrade them on the original basis. And it will not be because the leap in science and technology is too large, and the scientific and technological level of the whole country will not be up to the bottom, and this is the most dangerous.

And Chen Shao is planning to do this, even if the Red Police weapons are equipped in the future, it will not make Chinese scientists unclear about the principle of these weapons. Only when China's own scientific and technological level has reached can it learn from the Red Police's weapons and scientific and technological units, so as to serve as the foundation and experience for developing its own more powerful weapons and equipment in the future.

Chen Shao felt that there was something terrible. That is, to hand over a bunch of high-tech weapons and equipment to a country that can't even build artillery. Just teach the country how these weapons are used. And how these weapons are made, why they have this effect, what kind of knowledge is used in them, how to maintain these weapons and equipment, all of this does not matter. Then the country has only two choices, one is to study these weapons and equipment, spend decades researching, understand the principles of these equipment. The other option is to be fooled by the apparent strength and use these weapons and equipment to fight the world. When these weapons and equipment were exhausted, I realized that I couldn't even build a cannon. And by this time, destruction was not far away.

Just like in later generations, when the United States gave a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to an African country, there was only one result, and the aircraft carrier would be paralyzed in a short time. Because you, Africans, will maintain it? You can use it, it's good, teach it a few more times. But you don't know what this aircraft carrier is all about, then the result is obvious.

However, if an aircraft carrier were given to China, the result would be different, because China itself has a certain level of science and technology, and it is not very difficult to figure out the problems involved. Moreover, with such an aircraft carrier as a reference, China's ability to build aircraft carriers will definitely be greatly improved.

This is also the reason why Chen Shao is committed to developing his own science and technology, nothing can be good overnight. The same is true for helicopter research projects, only by laying a good foundation can we better understand more advanced theories. Chen Shao doesn't expect much to achieve much in many research projects, but he must lay a solid foundation.

The difficulty of the helicopter lies in the engine, if Chen Shao does not set up a project research at the beginning, even if the Nighthawk helicopter and the Hind attack helicopter come out, if there is a mechanical failure, then who will repair it?

Chen Shao didn't want to become like many small countries in later generations, who imported advanced fighters from the United States, but he couldn't even repair the planes and produce parts. If there is a bad relationship with the United States, once the plane breaks down, it can only dismantle the east wall to make up the west wall, and disassemble parts from other planes to replace them. As a result, there will only be fewer and fewer planes. And they can't produce it themselves, they can only watch their own defense forces, which are getting weaker and weaker.

Only when a country has its own intellectual property rights can it be regarded as truly owning a weapon. After all, the purchased weapons and equipment are not researched and produced by themselves, and they can be used for reference, but they cannot be relied on. Once dependence is formed, not only will it be controlled by others, but it will also slack its own research on self-produced weapons and equipment.

Chen Shao also didn't want to let himself rely too much on the Red Police Base, and the same was true. The Red Police Base is not like a family property that can be inherited, once Chen Shao is a hundred years later, then China's weapons technology must be able to follow its own path and must have its own technology tree. Chen Shao does not want a short-term prosperity, but a powerful country that will still stand in the east of the world after a few hundred years.

Not only should we develop our own weapons and equipment, but we should also be able to quickly understand the scientific and technological principles of these weapons and equipment when the red police weapons and equipment appear. And have the ability to upgrade and improve it, so that it can really become its own use. Chen Shao set a minimum goal for his scientific research team. After the Red Alert weapons came out, they were able to carry out mass production without relying on the Red Alert base.

The "Bamboo Dragonfly" project is to prepare for future helicopters, and before the Red Police Base comes out, it is necessary to make its own helicopter, even if it is a junior helicopter, it is enough. Because as long as you can build a helicopter, you already have a lot of research data, and when you see those advanced helicopters, at least you won't be smeared, and you won't understand anything.

After several years of research, the helicopter "Bamboo Dragonfly" project has already yielded great results. When Chen Shao walked into the test flight site, he saw more than a dozen scientific researchers, watching a skeleton hovering at a low altitude. The propellers on the skeleton are rotating rapidly, and the lift generated by the skeleton when the propellers rotate is slowly pulled off the ground and hovered at a height of ten meters.

The sound of the engine, and the rapid rotation of the propellers, is not small. However, they couldn't hide the cheers of the underground researchers, and when they saw Chen Shao coming to the test flight site, several scientific researchers greeted him. Before they could wait for Chen Shao to speak, one of the big fat men said: "We have succeeded, the first helicopter is already ready to fly." ”

"Very good, how many prototypes are these?" Chen Shao was also very excited, the role of helicopters on the battlefield is very huge, and it is not something that can be replaced by those fixed-wing aircraft. Attack helicopters are the best means of attack against tank clusters. The lethality of a tank group by a few hundred attack helicopters is greater than that of a thousand artillery pieces.

Moreover, helicopters can not only be used as fire support for ground targets in the air, but also play an irreplaceable role in battlefield projection. Moreover, it can also play a great role in landing warfare. In the future, once the Marine Corps is equipped with helicopters with powerful transport capabilities, it will change the previous form of landing warfare. In the future, landing warfare will evolve into a three-dimensional rapid projection of landing forces by sea and air.

And in the battlefield rescue, it also has a great effect, which can quickly transport the wounded soldiers to the rear and increase the survival chance of the wounded soldiers. Not only battlefield rescue, but also if there is any natural disaster in the future, it can also arrive quickly and participate in the rescue more conveniently.

"The fifth one, three fell in front, and one succeeded, but it didn't fly high. The helicopter has already achieved the desired effect, but it is still very rudimentary and will take a lot of time to study. After the fat scientist was excited, he said with some regret.

"It's already very good, and we have to take it one step at a time. Don't be too ambitious, wait until you have overcome a high mountain before you can face a new peak. Chen Shao patted him on the shoulder and said.

"There's still a lot of room for improvement in this prototype, and in a few more years, we can definitely build a helicopter that satisfies you." The fat scientist looked confident.

"In the future, our helicopters will not only have attack capabilities, but also strong transport capabilities. After a while, I will send my first batch of flight cadets here for training. Can such a helicopter meet the flight training requirements of cadets? Chen Shao is most concerned about this issue, no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, they also need people to drive them. And helicopter pilots, they must be trained from now on.

"The flight speed and altitude of this prototype are not very powerful, but the stability is okay. If you make some minor changes, it will not be too much of a problem to use it as a training machine. ”

"I'll give you half a year to build at least twenty of these training planes. Half a year later, the first batch of flight cadets will report here, and the training will start immediately. Chen Shao said.

Chen Shao's plan was to train a large number of helicopter pilots before the start of World War II. At the Air Force Academy, this discipline was established three years ago. There are also a lot of trainees, and now they need practical training. After all, the study of books and the actual operation are two different concepts.

"No problem."

After looking at the flight status of the helicopter again, Chen Shao left here. His first goal was the "Rocket Train" project, which did not go very well. Chen Shao just asked about the specific process and left.

In the afternoon, Chen Shao and Hitler boarded the plane to Hanjing, and both of them were very satisfied with this trip for several days. In particular, after Hitler's efforts in the past few days, many German soldiers in China have moved closer to him.
