Chapter 300: Inspecting the Northeast (1)
It is impossible for people who have not experienced war to really understand war, and in these war years, everything in the entire Chinese empire seems to revolve around war, and among the nearly a million enterprises in the country, more than 70,000 enterprises are engaged in production projects related to military materials, and in the busy railway lines, at least 1/4 of the railway transport cars are in demand in the military field.
…… There are many different levels of warfare and tactics, and there are high and low levels in strategy and there are levels in tactics.
With regard to the Third Sino-Japanese War, from the very beginning, Song Biao determined within the Central Military Headquarters the leading strategic idea of "a long-term blockade war relying on the superiority of science and technology and national strength," that is, to use the scientific and technological strength of the empire and the country's industrial and agricultural strength to carry out a long-term blockade war against Yueben, to force Yueben to the point where there are no resources to fight, and to attack the native territory of Yueben when the mountains and rivers are exhausted and the people are struggling to make a living, so as to end the war at the minimum cost and fight Yueben to the point where it will not be able to turn over within 50 years.
This is due to the resource strength and geographical location of the two countries, and as long as China occupies the Korean Peninsula, the Ryukyu Islands, Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, and the Ogasawara Islands, it can block the Yumoto in an encirclement of the navy and air force, and use this encirclement to cut off the channels for the Yumoto to obtain war resources from the outside.
In this kind of encirclement and blockade, the most important force is the leading position in science and technology, and it is necessary to use military equipment of a higher scientific and technological level to suppress and blockade the capital under easier circumstances, and at the same time, it is also necessary to make full use of the strength of the country's overall strength to ensure the dual advantages of quantity and quality.
Once a blockade is formed, the empire will firmly control the initiative in this war, and the empire can fight if it wants to, and if it doesn't want to fight, it can also be blockaded for a long time, and it will contain the capital for a long time in this state of war.
At this stage, it is not difficult for the Reich to accomplish this goal, it is only a matter of time, but for the Reich, the real difficulty is how to deal with Germany later.
There will be a war between China and Germany.
Nazi Germany now has this hunch, but it thinks that China is not clear, in fact, China is also very clear that as long as Germany decides to attack Britain and France, China and Germany will inevitably go to war, because China cannot allow the birth of a German empire that is more powerful than China, and even if Europe wants to unite, it can only be a decentralized alliance like the European Union, not a unified country that can threaten China's goal and status as the world's hegemon.
As for the other problems of the Nazis, China does not care very much, it is not its own business, China really does not need to care too much, and this situation is also conducive to China's sustainable development.
After the Spring Festival, just two weeks before Nazi Germany was about to launch a large-scale attack on the Soviet Union, Song Biao, accompanied by Chen Qicai, a member of the National Defense Commission, traveled to northeast China to inspect companies under the China United Technology Industry Corporation.
Over the past 30 years, China's Beijing-Tianjin-Luan, Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou, Fujian, Guangdong, Huguang, Shanxi, Shandong, Xilanyin, and Sichuan have gradually established industrial zones, and China's industrial development has become more balanced, but the Northeast is still the most industrially developed and leading region in China.
The Northeast is also the most industrially dense area in China, and the Northeast has always had a very crazy plan, that is, to use the Manchu royal family under their control to split the Northeast, and to assign the Northeast to the Manchurian Empire, becoming a colony and protectorate of the Northeast, they are too eager to get the Northeast, even if they themselves know how low this possibility is.
The goal of Song Biao's inspection in Northeast China was to see clearly the Empire's technological reserves in the semiconductor industry, as well as the Empire's R&D level in the military industry and aviation manufacturing industry, so as to prepare for a full-scale war with Germany in the future.
At present, the empire has three very large semiconductor companies and private research bases, namely Northeast Semiconductor Company, Yanjing Semiconductor Company and Jiangnan Radio Company, among which the largest and most abundant technical reserves are the Dongdao Company, which is also the largest research and manufacturing company for shipborne radar and airborne radar in China.
This time it was slightly different from usual, when Emperor Song visited the Northeast, he specially brought his eldest son, Crown Prince Yuhua, with him as the adjutant of Chen Qicai, the National Defense Councilor, and went to the Northeast together.
Under normal circumstances, the empire is still the eldest son as the preferred royal heir, Yuhua Crown Prince Song Furen has also been receiving education to perform the duties of the emperor, after graduating from the Central Military Academy, he studied for a master's degree in international politics at the Central Imperial University, and then returned to the military department as a captain, only two years ago he was transferred from the grassroots army back to the Central Military Department General Staff to work.
Because the empire adopts the law of succession, as the eldest prince in line to the throne, Song Furen, the crown prince of Yuhua, was entrusted with the heavy responsibility of inheriting the throne from birth, which is obviously not a good thing for Song Furen, who has a generous and gentle surname.
From an early age, his education was entirely aimed at cultivating him to be a qualified heir to the imperial throne, he was not only required to have profound attainments in Chinese studies, but also to master two or three foreign languages, to have good and strict habits of life and rest, to have very high health standards through strict training and good medical care, and to be proficient in all etiquette and to have the gentlemanly demeanor of generosity and benevolence required in the culture of Chinese culture.
He was required to become a qualified modern soldier, required to study political economy, required to have a good academic foundation in many modern knowledge systems such as natural science, philosophy, history, biology, etc., and finally became an enlightened monarch with broad vision, a monarch who would not be deceived by others.
Being born in the royal family is a good thing that cannot be desired, but also a tragedy, as a substitute for Prince Yuhua, his half-brother Prince Yuqing and his younger brother Prince Yuchen have received the same education, and the other princes and princesses are much luckier, they do not need to undergo such rigorous and complex training, they can do what they like according to their preferences, but they also bear the responsibilities of the royal family, and the future is in the field that each of them is good at, They will all be responsible for handling a portion of the Royal Charities Fund.
Unlike his father's hatred of Yueben, Song Furen was born in an environment where he had been suppressed for a long time from the beginning, and Song Furen did not approve of this long-term war against Yueben, and he preferred that the war could end as soon as possible like the Second Sino-Chinese War and restore normal order in the country.
After arriving in Shenyang, Song Biao and his entourage first lived in the old military headquarters of the Northeast Military Region, which was naturally very familiar to him in the past, and now there is also a sense of strangeness.
Back in the Northeast, Song Biao did not rush to visit the Dongdao Company, but first went to Tanglin Park to take a look at the landscapes that were once the most familiar, and two days later, he took Crown Prince Yuhua and Chen Qicai and others to the Dongdao Company to inspect.
In cooperation with the Central Computer Research Institute, the company is currently stepping up the improvement of the first generation of 4-bit and 8-bit monolithic microcomputers, and the pre-research of microprocessors with more excellent unipolar integrated circuits is also accelerating.
Unlike other fields, the empire's semiconductor industry has always been dominated by domestically trained talents, on the one hand, due to confidentiality factors, and on the other hand, there is a lack of such professionals overseas.
According to the Empire's support plan in the semiconductor industry, in the next ten years, the Central University of Science and Technology, Aurora University, Northeastern University, Jiangnan University, and the Central Computer Research Institute will successively expand the scale of doctoral training in the field of semiconductors and electronics to ensure the Empire's R&D strength in this field.
At present, almost the entire semiconductor industry is serving the military industry, 4-bit, 8-bit MOS microcontrollers are widely used in the military field, imperial tank fire control computers, rangefinders, ship radars, fire control computers are eager to make breakthroughs in this field and constantly improve practical value.
In the East Conductor Company, a new infrared detection device with indium sulfide as the temperature control source has been successfully developed, and before that, the Reich and Nazi Germany are using lead sulfide as the infrared sensitive source, the price of indium sulfide is more expensive, and the industrial production is more difficult, but its sensitivity is also dozens of times higher than that of lead sulfide, making the whole set of infrared observation devices more sensitive, and the weight of the whole machine is lower.
Based on the gradual maturity of the indium sulfide infrared detection device, the Great Wall Corporation also officially launched the research and development of small missiles for air defense missiles and air-to-air missiles last year; with infrared sensitive devices and 8-bit single-chip microcontrollers, the new type of air defense missiles can directly adopt the program-controlled navigation of anti-infrared detection, instead of relying on radio guidance as originally planned, and the combination of the two can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the new air defense missiles.
China's United Computer Corp. is unveiling a new computer based on an 8-bit processor that will have more power than any previous mainframe computer.
Although the semiconductor industry has not yet entered the stage of civil industry that can be made public in the country, under the strong demand of the military industry, as well as the joint organization of the Central Secrecy Bureau and the Ministry of Science and Technology Industry, China's automated industrial system research has been carried out in the Central National Defense Industry Research Institute, the Central Computer Research Institute, the Central Machinery Research Institute, the Northeast Industrial Research Institute and other institutions and major large technology companies, China United Machinery Corporation and Jiangnan Electromechanical Company are carrying out research and development in the field of CNC machine tools. General-purpose computers and microprocessors for both military and civilian use are also developing rapidly.
If there are still two years left before the end of the war and the full opening of the entire industry, these two years will be the time for China's semiconductor industry to accelerate in an all-round way.
It is undeniable that although it took 30 years for the entire empire to gradually digest the technology of a certain base in Northeast China under the silent and quiet arrangement of the Song Emperor, the benefits to China are endless, and the gap between Europe and the United States in many fields is nearly 30 years ahead of Europe and the United States in the international world.
Since 1921, the empire has been researching the purification and production process of semiconductors and single crystal materials, and at that time the closest to this area in the field of international theoretical and chemical research was the Polish chemist Jan Jan Brown. After Dr. Tchaikrsky was invited to teach at the Central Polytechnic University, the empire accelerated the investment of long-term research and large-scale R&D funds in this field, and in 1925 initially completed the industrial straight-pull production of single crystal materials, which were applied to semiconductor materials, platinum metals such as gold and silver, high-purity salt alkali, synthetic gemstones and other single crystal materials.
On this basis, the Central Institute of Materials Technology and the Central Computer Research Institute under the Central Academy of Sciences have studied more than 1,000 kinds of semiconductor materials, the most important of which are gallium arsenide, gallium antimonide, aluminum antimonide, etc., these semiconductor single crystal materials are produced by industrial multiple straightening wafers, and finally obtain semiconductor materials with high purity for the production of diodes, transistors, electrocrystals and other semiconductors and integrated circuits.
With a wide variety of referential parts, and the huge amount of R&D funding and hundreds of classified research projects that the Empire has invested in over the past two decades, the Empire's breakthroughs in this field have been extremely fast.
Since 1833, when the British scientist Faraday discovered the first semiconductor material, silver sulfide, mankind has been slowly exploring the application and research of semiconductor materials, while China has basically established and improved the basic framework of the modern semiconductor industry from the 20s to the 40s of the 20th century.
At the same time, under the huge demand of the Chinese industry, China's semiconductor industry has formed a situation of three giants in the early 40s, maintaining a leading edge in the world, in China, there are currently more than ten semiconductor professional research centers, in addition to the three major companies such as Dongdao, the Central Computer Research Institute, the China Academy of Defense Science and Industry, the Central University of Science and Technology, Aurora University, Shanghai University, Northeastern University, Northwest University, Southwest University, China Jiaotong University has set up a professional semiconductor research laboratory.
Although Song Biao still has some long-term worries about this, he still saw the first generation of general-purpose commercial microcomputers jointly developed by the Central Computer Research Institute and the Dongdao Company, which is a simple microcomputer with a black screen and green code equipped with Chinese character picture cards, which can use Chinese characters, and the system was written by Neusoft Company, which is controlled by the Northeast Computer Company, in six years.
Because it uses an eight-bit processor, it is not only large in size, but also has a low surname, which even brings new hope to the world.
It is an epoch-making masterpiece.
Materials determine the development space of the industry, this is an impossible to change the conclusion, there can be no breakthrough in the material process can not have a series of breakthroughs in China's semiconductor process, this is a very simple inheritance relationship, just like the relationship between the tree and the root.
Before the international world could not understand this sufficiently, the empire not only established this new industry, but also soon established a completely different new empire, in the military field, new ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, fire control computers, radars, power control computers, wireless telephones, numerical control and program-controlled devices, infrared detectors.
The Empire's huge investment in this field not only brought great advantages to the Emperor's affairs, but also produced a lot of interesting things. The Nikola22 airborne produced by Tesla Radio was successfully developed in 1937, and it was the most advanced small radar at that time, equipped on the J5 Tiger Shark fighter-bomber, with a radar detection range of 30 km, while the Nikola23 airborne radar developed simultaneously for the P-2\J-6 jet fighter, the radar detection index in the initial design parameters was only 20 km, but in 1938, in many improved designs, The Nikola-23 airborne radar not only halves the weight and volume of the Nikola-22, but the effective detection index has been increased to 50 km.
These technologies continued to be applied to the improvement of the Nikola22B airborne radar, which increased the radar detection index of the J-5E Tiger Shark fighter-bomber to a range of 80 kilometers, which was actually higher than the shipborne radar data of the cruiser Luoyang.
With the rapid breakthrough of radar technology and computer technology, as well as the gradual improvement of the first generation turbofan engine and the start of the research and development project of the third generation turbojet engine, the empire has decided to start the development of the J-7 \J-8 two models of jet fighters at the same time, the J-7 is the first generation of turbofan fighters, and it is also a replacement model of the J-6 fighter with medium altitude speed, and the J-8 is a high-altitude and high-speed fighter using the third generation turbojet engine.
J-6\7\8 three types of fighters are twin-engine fighters, J-6\7 belongs to twin-engine medium fighters, and J-8 belongs to twin-engine heavy high-speed fighters, the development of J-8 is carried out in Jiangnan Fudao Company, and the development and improvement of J-6\7 are carried out in the Shenyang Aircraft Company in Northeast China.
After inspecting Shenyang's microcomputers, chips, semiconductor materials, radars, and radio communications companies related to the semiconductor industry for half a month, Song Biao went to the Shenyang Aircraft Company on the morning of early March to inspect the development of J-7 fighter planes, S-20 large turbofan transport planes, and Su-5 high-altitude and high-speed reconnaissance planes.
The parent company of Shenyang Aircraft Company is China United Aviation Industry Corporation, which is also one of the six sub-groups of China Liaison Group, and the full name of Shenyang Aircraft Company is China Shenyang-Curtis Aircraft Joint Manufacturing Company, which is called Shenyang Aircraft Company in China and Curtiss Company in the United States.
Since 1930, Curtis has become the largest aviation industry company in the United States, and also has the largest aviation industry research and development center in the United States, through the company's technical exchanges on both sides of the Pacific Ocean to maintain the world's leading aviation position, due to the low cost of production in China, Curtis company in addition to the engine engine, wings and other main components in the United States market, the rest are directly imported from the Northeast parts assembled in the United States.
Before Roosevelt came to power, in order to avoid being hit by the New Deal, Curtis began to gradually increase the production rate of its own market, but after 1934, with the re-signing of the strategic cooperation agreement between China and the United States, Curtis Company re-maintained the original policy, focusing on the production of engine engines, and is now the largest engine manufacturing company for aviation, ships, and automobiles in the United States, as well as the largest aircraft manufacturer.
Shenyang-Curtis United Company accounts for half of the total annual production of large aircraft and fighter jets in the world.
As the first-class high-tech industrial enterprise supported by Shenyang, Shenyang Aircraft Company owns the entire land of the former Xinjiaji Town in the northwest of Shenyang City, and in order to ensure the development of this company, Shenyang Prefecture originally relocated nearly 10,000 local residents, leaving a broad enough space for the development of Shenyang Aircraft Company, adjacent to the nearby Northeast Military District.
Here, Shenfei has the world's largest wind tunnel center.
In the past 30 years, relying on the financial resources of the parent company and the national financial subsidies, and the military research subsidies of the Ministry of National Defense, Shenfei has developed more than 400 types of aircraft and test models, and has extremely rich design experience in the fields of propeller aircraft, jet aircraft, turboshaft helicopters, large aircraft, etc., through cooperation with Northeastern University, Aurora University, Central University of Science and Technology, with the company's own world's largest wind tunnel center and super-large computer, Shenfei's research in the field of aerodynamics is also the deepest.
