Chapter 346: Missiles and Rockets

The slow means of transportation made Fang Xiaoyu arrive at the Wild Continent until a month later, and the anxious Fang Xiaoyu secretly decided that he must hurry up and study the passenger plane with high stability, so as not to travel so troublesomely. Fu Mingcheng had already received the news of Fang Xiaoyu's arrival, and when Fang Xiaoyu had just landed from Moore Harbor, he was taken to the military headquarters building of the Iron Blood Army by Fu Mingcheng.

Looking at the thirty-five-story building of the military headquarters of the Iron and Blood Army, Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The military headquarters of your Iron and Blood Army is really magnanimous, I am afraid that there is no such a tall building in China." ”

Fu Mingcheng knew that Fang Xiaoyu was not a person who cared about these details, and he also replied with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that the scientific and technological level of the Savage Continent is higher than that of China, it would be impossible to build such a tall building, but this is not the highest in the Savage Continent." The city of Canberra is building a hundred-storey skyscraper intended to be a landmark in the city centre. ”

"Build that high?" Fang Xiaoyu was interested, he hadn't paid attention to the situation here for a while, he couldn't imagine that the development speed of the Wild Continent was so fast, and it had even surpassed the domestic in an all-round way. "I haven't been here for a while, and it seems that I missed out on a lot of good things, tell me about any new technology recently."

Fu Mingcheng knew that Fang Xiaoyu was always most interested in science and technology, and immediately explained excitedly: "The radar is a lot more advanced, the original radar is too large, it is two stories high, and it can't be assembled on a warship at all, and its power consumption is amazing, and it is not something that a warship can bear, but now it is much better." Not only has the power of the radar increased a lot, but the size has also been reduced to one-tenth of the original size, and the power consumption has been reduced to one-twentieth of the original. ”

"This is a good thing, it seems that not only will the radar stations along the coast be popularized, but we may also be able to put the radar on warships." Fang Xiaoyu said excitedly.

"Absolutely no problem." Fu Mingcheng said: "I heard Li Zhonggong say that the magnetron of the current radar has been produced, and now our radar is already a centimeter-wave radar, which can completely filter marine clutter and is very practical." In addition to radar, there are also rockets, that big guy, can actually fly more than 500 kilometers, if it is loaded with explosives, it is not even more powerful than those bombing airships. "Over the years, he has been exposed to all kinds of science and technology in the Savage Continent, and Fu Mingcheng is also a treasure of various technologies.

"Rockets?" Fang Xiaoyu listened even more excited, the rocket has actually been developed, as long as there is a rocket, there is hope for entering space, as long as the research and development continues, I believe that soon the satellite can be sent into space, manned spaceflight is no longer a dream, and it will not be far to go home.

With the rocket, Fang Xiaoyu had the idea of upgrading Xiaofeng again, but Fang Xiaoyu secretly calculated that he had collected a total of eight hundred tons of rough diamonds from the elves, dwarves and goblins, and recently exchanged nearly one hundred tons from the dwarven clan in the Zhanxi Kingdom, plus the recent output of the diamond mine that he had deliberately collected over the years, there were now nine hundred and thirty tons of rough diamonds available, as for the gap of seventy tons in the last seventy tons, Fang Xiaoyu had no choice. Unless we wait for the output of Jory's diamond mine.

If it is filled with gold, 70,000 tons of gold will be needed, and at present, the entire Chinese Imperial Imperial Family and the Bank of China have only less than 40,000 tons of gold reserves combined, not to mention that the more than 20,000 tons of gold of the Bank of China is a reserve for the issuance of Chinese dollars, and once it is misappropriated, it is easy to cause the collapse of the Chinese yuan system.

Fang Xiaoyu thought about it for a long time, the gap of 70 tons of rough diamond or 70,000 tons of gold is not impossible to meet, there are two plans, the first is to occupy the south of the southern subcontinent, because according to Xiaofeng's detection, there are a large number of diamond ore layers there that have not yet been developed.

If it can be occupied and developed on a large scale, it is believed that it can be made within ten years, but it is currently a colony of the Saar Empire, and if you want to get there, you will have to go to war against the Entente.

The second plan is the treasury of the national bank of the Saar Empire, as the world's largest power in the world for more than 60 years, with the largest colony, the plundered wealth is not something that any other country can imagine.

In particular, the national bank of the Sahr Empire is the national designated bank for the Saar Empire to find currency, and more than half of the gold in the entire empire is in several secret vaults in this bank, according to Xiaofeng's careful scanning, the total amount of gold exceeds 100,000 tons, it seems that no matter which plan is used, it is necessary for the Chinese Empire to start a war against the Saar Empire.

With such a plan, it does not mean that the Chinese Empire will immediately start a war with the Entente, and before the surplus value of the countries in the Western Continent is squeezed out, Fang Xiaoyu can only wait for a while.

Fang Xiaoyu's inspection of the new Asian country did not last long, and after inspecting the two major islands he occupied, he gave the two islands the names of Twin Star Island, the South Island and the North Island were called South Star Island and North Star Island respectively.

Fang Xiaoyu was very satisfied with the construction being carried out here, as long as the construction here could be completed, the safety of the Barbarian Continent would be very guaranteed, of course, this must be based on the fact that the Iron Blood Army had a strong enough fleet, so Fang Xiaoyu secretly decided that he must form a powerful fleet for the Iron Blood Army that is as powerful as the Chinese Empire, or even surpasses it.

After visiting the Twin Star Island, Fang Xiaoyu felt that he was on the way, and went to the Wild Continent to visit the rocket research base. "Young Master, why are you here?" Seeing Fang Xiaoyu, Feng Jingru was extremely surprised.

"I heard that you guys are making new progress here, so I'll come and have a look." Fang Xiaoyu smiled and picked up a model rocket on the table and rubbed it with his hand.

Feng Jingru was extremely excited to introduce the rocket model and said: "Young master, this is a single-stage rocket that we have just developed, using liquid hydrogen and oxygen as fuel, and the maximum range can reach more than 300 kilometers. ”

"Oh?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at the model in his hand in surprise: "It seems that you have made good progress, and you have actually made such a big breakthrough." ”

Feng Jingru suddenly remembered that this rocket didn't have a name yet: "Young Master, you can give this rocket a name." ”

Fang Xiaoyu took the rocket model and said with a smile: "Let's call it Long March 1, and if a new model comes out, it will be lined up." How about I give you some advice? Hearing that Fang Xiaoyu wanted to make a suggestion, Feng Jingru's eyes lit up. Fang Xiaoyu's suggestion was regarded as truth by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In Feng Jingru's eager gaze, Fang Xiaoyu pointed to the rocket model and said: "The thrust of a single-stage rocket is limited, you can increase the number of stages, but it is best not to exceed the third stage, once it exceeds the third stage, the complexity of the rocket will increase by geometric multiples, which is more than worth the loss." Listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Feng Jingru nodded vigorously.

Fang Xiaoyu continued: "There are two directions for rocket research, the first is to space, we can send satellites, spaceships, and even people into space. ”

"What is the concept of space and satellites?" Feng Jingru humbly asked for advice.

Fang Xiaoyu is also a novice in this aspect, but in the original era, there were Shen Jiu, Shen 10 and Tiangong No. 1, and he knew a little bit about the Tao, so he told Feng Jingru all the knowledge about aerospace that he knew, even if these shallow knowledge that everyone in later generations knew, Feng Jingru was fascinated by it.

Seeing Feng Jingru's longing expression, Fang Xiaoyu coughed lightly and continued: "There is a second aspect is the military aspect, what is needed in the military aspect is a weapon that is easy to use and can strike accurately, and in terms of ease of use, you can study solid fuel, although it may be worse than this liquid fuel in terms of cost performance, but it can be launched at any time, and there is no need to temporarily add fuel." ”

Fang Xiaoyu guided Feng Jingru to develop a missile: "As for accuracy, you can cooperate with Tesla and ask him to give you a rocket research seeker, which can guide your rocket directly to the target and explode, inflicting heavy damage on the enemy, I call this kind of guided rocket a missile." ”

The more Fang Xiaoyu spoke, the more energetic he became, and he couldn't help but longing: "Think about it, if you can launch a missile anywhere in the Savage Continent, it can accurately blow up the palace of the Boston Empire, what kind of concept is that. ”

Feng Jingru exclaimed: "Isn't that invincible?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "It can also be said, but it will take a long time to work hard to achieve this, what you need to do now is to work hard to develop in these two directions, and these two directions can learn from each other and improve together, which is very beneficial to the speed of our scientific and technological development." ”

Feng Jingru nodded and said, "Yes, young master, I will definitely study it as soon as possible." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a wit: "Ah, when your missile comes out, it will be called Dongfeng Type 1." ”

"Young Master, are you here too?" A person walked in from outside the door, and when he saw Fang Xiaoyu, he exclaimed. Fang Xiaoyu, who was chatting with Feng Jingru, turned his head to look and found that the person who came was Qian Huilin.

Fang Xiaoyu immediately greeted him: "Old Qian, why did you come here." ”

Qian Huilin said with a smile: "I just completed a big project recently, and I wanted to come to my eldest brother's place to drink some wine to celebrate, but I didn't expect to meet the young master." ”

Fang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Drink, okay, I'll drink with the two of you, but you have to tell me what the project is." ”

"Young Master drinking with us? That's great. Qian Huilin smiled very happily. Feng Jingru also wanted to discuss more topics about space launch vehicles and missiles with Fang Xiaoyu, and was naturally very willing.

"Hey, Brother Feng, your wine here is good." Fang Xiaoyu smelled the aroma of wine and couldn't help but sigh.

Feng Jingru said: "This is the highest-grade wine produced by the winery in our Wild Continent, and I am usually reluctant to drink it, and I only drink a little bit when I have a major achievement." ”
