The Yunlong ship was launched on April 17, and the day turned around, on April 18, Ling Xue came to find Lin Fei early in the morning, and said with a smile as soon as they met: "Brother, I have good news for you." ”

Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "What good news?" ”

Ling Xue smiled and said, "Guess." After Ling Xue finished speaking, she pursed her pink lips, her lips were very delicate, glowing with pearl-like light, Lin Fei looked at her pink lips, his heart was slightly confused, he shook his head and said, "I can't guess this." ”

Ling Xue laughed and said, "Since you can't guess, then I'll tell you hello, our Blue Bird Machine has been successfully tested for the first time." ”

Lin Fei couldn't help but exclaim: "Really? That's great... Hurry up and take me to see it. As the two spoke, they walked to the factory where the Blue Bird Project was carried out, and when it was not long before they walked into the factory, the communication equipment technicians from Cotabato and Zamboanga immediately surrounded Lin Fei, and an old craftsman walked up to Lin Fei, bowed and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the Blue Bird Machine is in our warehouse, please come with me to have a look." ”

The old craftsman then led Lin Fei and Ling Xue to an empty room, Lin Fei saw that there were two wooden cabinets more than one person high and two meters wide in the empty room, and the gaps in the cabinets were sealed with rubber used to prevent moisture, the old craftsman opened the cabinet, and the blue bird machine appeared in front of Lin Fei.

The blue bird machine is a behemoth, the fuselage made of cast iron shell is more than one person high, the console is full of rough and simple buttons, the left side of the fuselage is placed to disassemble the antenna, the antenna is only the most basic line antenna, the more advanced antenna is left for later manufacturing, there are a lot of batteries on the right side of the fuselage, like a wall, and the batteries are connected by spider web-like wires.

In Lin Fei's era, radio communication equipment was very small, such as mobile phones, but at this time, Lin Fei's Jade Bird machine was a behemoth, this was because Lin Fei didn't even have an electronic tube, he could only use electronic components such as capacitors, and as for more advanced transistors, Lin Fei didn't even dare to think about it.

In Lin Fei's era, some complex chemicals will be added to the lead-acid battery, which can greatly improve the discharge capacity of the battery, at this time Lin Fei did not have the ability to produce these chemicals, so the discharge performance of the lead-acid battery he produced was not strong, and if you want to supply power to the bluebird machine, it must be connected by multiple batteries to form a battery pack.

Lin Fei thought about the tubes, transistors and high-energy batteries, looking at the big guy in front of him a little unhappy, Ling Xue hurriedly said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Fei reacted at this time, and hurriedly smiled: "It's nothing, I'm too happy..." Lin Fei said and called the technicians together, praised everyone, everyone was very happy, Lin Fei let everyone disperse, called Ling Xue to him, and whispered: "Gather the core technicians who developed the Blue Bird Machine, I have something to say." ”

Ling Xue agreed, and after a short time, he gathered the ten technicians in the conference room, and Lin Fei said to the technicians: "Since we have developed the Jade Bird Machine, you have the ability to carry out the next step of pre-research." ”

The word "pre-research" was often used in Lin Fei's era, but it was not commonly used in this era, and all the technicians asked: "Your Majesty, what does 'pre-research' mean?" ”

Lin Fei said: "It is to conduct research on more advanced equipment. ”

The technicians were surprised and said: "The Blue Bird Machine is already a world-leading thing, and there are even more advanced things?" ”

Lin Fei smiled helplessly, reached out and took out a small notebook from his arms, tore off a few pieces of paper from it, and said: "The thing on the paper is called an electron tube, which is a thing that can make the Jade Bird machine more advanced. ”

"There are still a few key processes for the manufacture of electron tubes, I haven't thought of a solution, you don't have to worry, I will solve it later. The code name of the pre-research tube plan is 'Jade Bird No. 2', and everyone must pay attention to confidentiality. The technicians looked at the piece of paper and let out exclamations.

After Lin Fei finished arranging the pre-research work of the electron tube, he came out of the conference room, and on the way Ling Xue asked, "Brother, I just saw that your little notebook is full of words, what are they?" ”

It turned out that the small book was Lin Fei's "high-tech research and development book", as the scale of the Chinese Empire became larger and larger, Lin Fei needed to deal with more and more things, and the whole period of time became less and less, so Lin Fei used a scattered time to think about weapon development, and then recorded the things he thought of in the notebook. When Lin Fei saw Ling Xue asking, he simply explained two sentences, but Ling Xue didn't understand, "uh-huh" twice and stopped asking.

After the successful development of the Jade Bird Machine, Lin Fei asked Ling Xue to organize people to send the Jade Bird Machine to the outfitting dock and load it onto the ship. The official name of the Jade Bird in the army is "QN-1 Machinery", and Lin Fei did not mention the word "communication" in the name for the sake of secrecy.

Lin Fei's weapons and equipment have a large number of English letters, but Lin Fei's soldiers all know each other, this is because Lin Fei promulgated the "Hanyu Pinyin Plan" in the process of literacy eradication, which basically copied the pinyin that Lin Fei was familiar with, which accelerated the process of literacy eradication, and by the way, let Lin Fei's subordinates know the English alphabet.

The first is the underwater equipment, the oxygen cylinder, diving suit and fins have been successfully developed, and the underwater gun is also roughly formed, followed by the HP-2 75 mm howitzer, which has been successfully trial-produced at this time and is in the final debugging.

The only fly in the ointment is the telescope of the sniper rifle, the glaze craftsmen have worked hard to finally fire the optical glass, but after grinding into small lenses, 90% of the lenses are unqualified, so the manufacturing speed of the telescope is quite slow.

At the same time as the equipment was successfully developed, the expansion of the army was also carried out very smoothly, because Lin Fei set up garrison units in various places, and these garrison units often conducted training and provided Lin Fei with sufficient soldiers.

Time blink of an eye came to May 8, on this day, the Qing court representative Wu Tingfang and the Japanese representative Ito Daiji exchanged the text of the "Shimonoseki Treaty" in Yantai, Shandong, and the "Shimonoseki Treaty" officially came into force, at this time the troops of Lin Fei's two brigades had been organized, including an artillery regiment equipped with HP-2 75mm howitzers.

During this time, Wang Yao also reported the defense deployment of Manila to Lin Fei one by one, but unfortunately, the design parameters of the fortress that Lin Fei had always wanted were not available.

At 2 p.m. on May 8, an attendant suddenly came in and reported to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, the people sent by the 'Dark Sword' are back again. ”

"Dark Sword" was Wang Yao's code name, and when Lin Fei heard the news, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite him in." ”

The attendant promised to go out, and after a while, he brought in a person who looked like a businessman, who looked to be in his twenties, with handsome eyebrows, and when he saw Lin Fei, he bowed down and said, "Hello, Your Majesty, I am an agent trained by Master Wang Yao, my name is 'Liu Ying', and my code name is 'Ghost Shadow'." ”

Lin Fei praised Liu Ying a few words, and then asked, "I urged your master a few times ago to let him find a way to get the design parameters of the fortress, did your master get it?" ”

Liu Ying's expression darkened, and said: "The Spaniards kept their fortress strictly secret, and no one who had anything to do was allowed to approach the fort, my master tried several times, but it was useless at all, and my master didn't dare to try too much, for fear that the Spaniards would be suspicious." ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "That's right, tell Wang Yao, you must ensure safety, there is still a lot of information he can provide, don't put yourself in danger because of the matter of the fortress parameters." ”

Liu Ying said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely convey your words to Master." ”

Lin Fei asked, "Did you bring any information with you when you came back this time?" ”

Liu Ying said "um", and then took out a stack of Wen Jiàn from the bag he was carrying on his shoulder, Lin Fei frowned, and said, "Do you just put the important Wen Jiàn in the bag casually?" ”

Liu Ying hurriedly said: "Don't worry, these texts are written in secret language, and people who don't know the key can't understand them at all, if they fall into the hands of others, I will say that they are trade secrets." ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "That's okay, what are these texts?" ”

Liu Ying replied: "That's right, the Spaniards bought a large number of Maxim heavy machine guns, we don't know the specific number, anyway, there are quite a few, they want to deploy these Maxim machine guns into the fortress, I hope you will be more careful." ”

Lin Fei frowned and said, "The Spaniards don't just have fortresses? Still deploying heavy machine guns inside the fortress? ”

Liu Ying said: "That's right, that's it, Brigadier General Raceno thinks that your army is charging very strongly, so he thought of a way to suppress the charge with heavy machine guns." ”

Lin Fei's face was solemn and he didn't speak, Liu Ying knew that Lin Fei was pondering, so he said tentatively: "If there is nothing wrong, then I will leave first." ”

Lin Fei said "um" absentmindedly, Liu Ying said goodbye, Lin Fei paced in the room, and secretly thought in his heart, the fortress of the Spanish army is definitely the biggest obstacle to the land offensive, I must find a way to blow up their fortress, deal with the fortress, especially the fortress designed by professional military engineers and made of reinforced concrete, grenades will not work, and they will not be blown up at all.

Lin Fei searched for the military knowledge in his mind, and suddenly thought of a weapon...... Armor shattering bullets, this weapon has been specially designed, can stick to the fortress and explode, the explosion can collapse the stones on the inner wall of the fortress, this kind of falling stones are very fast, can cause fatal damage to the people in the fortress, is a killer weapon against reinforced concrete fortifications.

Lin Fei thought of the armor shattering bullet and immediately thought, with my current strength, can I make an armor fragmentation bullet?
