PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

On September 30, 4620, Emperor Wu Haoxuan visited the Imperial Academy of Sciences on the outskirts of Beijing. The Imperial Academy of Sciences was founded five years ago and has thousands of top scientists working on various projects. The Academy of Sciences alone spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Fortunately, the Imperial Treasury is only responsible for a small half of the funding of the Academy of Sciences. For the rest, the Imperial Family is in charge. Otherwise, the empire's finances would have been dragged down long ago.

After the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, the empire began to catch up with the world's advanced level in scientific research. The overall scientific research strength of the empire is also constantly improving. More importantly, it provided the empire with a cradle for high-tech talent. Although, at present, many of the leading scientists of the Academy of Sciences are from Europe. However, the empire's own scientists are also growing rapidly.

During World War I, many scientists left Europe for the United States and China to escape the war. At that time, the empire received a large number of scientists. After the end of World War I, the defeat of Germany and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire led to a massive outflow of scientific research talents from these two countries. The empire took the opportunity to absorb a large number of scientists and technical talents, making the Imperial Academy of Sciences even stronger. In the same way, Russia collapsed and Soviet Russia was established. A large number of scientists from Russia also further increased the scientific research strength of the empire.

Russia is known as the weakest link in world capitalism. However, some of Russia's scientific research strength is still very strong. For example, heavy bombers. In World War I, Russia produced dozens of heavy bombers with advanced performance. It's just that the team now. Having fully joined the Empire, began to serve the project of a new generation of long-range heavy bombers for the Empire.

Emperor Wu Haoxuan was very concerned about scientific research, and would go to the Academy of Sciences several times a year to inspect the results of scientific research. At the same time, Wu Haoxuan also asked the Academy of Sciences. Focus on a few projects. For example, radar technology, sonar technology, rocket technology, and so on. All these have a great role in promoting the development of the military power of the empire.

Accompanying Wu Haoxuan to the Academy of Sciences were Marshal Shi Tianhan, Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Zhao Xifu, Minister of the Army, Marshal Sa Zhenbing, Minister of the Navy, and Admiral Zhao Lei, Minister of Armament. The focus of today's inspection. It's those projects related to the military field.

The president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences was already waiting for Wu Haoxuan at the door. The president of the Academy of Sciences, appointed by the Empire. Although, he is not a scientific talent. However, he mainly provides logistical support for the scientists of the Academy of Sciences, and can be called the logistics steward of the Academy of Sciences.

The entire Academy of Sciences, defense and security was under the responsibility of the Imperial Praetorian Guard. An infantry battalion of the Imperial Guard, stationed directly inside the Academy of Sciences. In addition, an armored regiment of the Praetorian Guard was only ten kilometers from the Academy of Sciences. Once the Academy of Sciences was attacked. They were able to arrive in twenty minutes. Any hostile force that wants to break through the defense of an infantry battalion of the Empire in another twenty minutes. That's undoubtedly impossible. In addition to the military, there are security officers of the NSA, intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Service, etc. The entire Academy of Sciences is completely under the strictest protection. Unless it is an army, it is not to be attacked. On the outskirts of the imperial capital, of course. It is also impossible to appear the armies of other countries. If the armies of other countries come here, then the empire is really not far from the destruction of the country.

"Your Majesty, the main person in charge of several projects, are ready." The dean of the Academy of Sciences said to Wu Haoxuan.

"Well, let's go. Go to the radar project department first. Wu Haoxuan said.

Radar is an electronic device that uses electromagnetic waves to detect targets. The radar emits electromagnetic waves to irradiate the target and receive its echoes. From this, the distance from the target to the electromagnetic wave emission point, the distance change rate (radial velocity), azimuth, altitude and other information are obtained. The emergence of radar was due to the fact that during the First World War, when Britain and Germany were at war, Britain urgently needed a radar (technology) that could detect metal objects in the air to help search for German aircraft in anti-air raid warfare. It's just that during World War I, due to technical limitations, the practical effect was not obvious.

The Chinese Empire was also one of the first countries to study radar. Compared with Europe and the United States, the empire has been at the forefront of them in radar technology.

"Your Majesty, this is the radar we have developed so far, and the detection range has exceeded twenty kilometers. However, the volume is still relatively large, and it also consumes a lot of electricity. The person in charge of the radar project said to Wu Haoxuan.

Wu Haoxuan nodded: "Has it been tested?" ”

"It's been tested. The Air Force dispatched five planes to cooperate with the test, and at a distance of 20 kilometers, the radar accurately detected them. However, the shortcomings of the current radar are also very obvious. The first is that the volume is too large, the second is that the detection distance is too close, and the third is that the stability and reliability need to be further improved. Said the head of the radar project.

"That's already good, and I hope you'll be able to do more research in the future. Ten years later, the Reich needed a large radar capable of detecting at least two hundred kilometers away. At the same time, it is also necessary to do a good job in miniaturizing the radar, so that the radar can be carried on warships and armored vehicles. In the future, radar will not only be a detection device, but also a guiding equipment for the main guns of the Imperial Navy, that is, artillery sighting radar. If it can be realized, then the Imperial Navy will have a greater advantage in naval warfare in the future. Wu Haoxuan said. 、

The Minister of the Navy, Marshal Sa Zhenbing, was even more eye-catching. At present, the distance of the Navy's capital ships is generally about 15,000 kilometers. If it is further away, the hit rate cannot be guaranteed. In addition, at night, the hit rate of the capital ship's artillery battle was also very low. If the radar can guide the main guns of the capital ship, then the hit rate of the main guns of the capital ship will undoubtedly be greatly improved. In night battles, the Imperial Navy was able to take advantage of it.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We will actively look into this aspect. Said the head of the radar project. Wu Haoxuan had already pointed out the direction of their research, and they only needed to study in those directions. In this way, you can also avoid many detours.

After coming out of the radar project department, Wu Haoxuan and others went to the sonar project department.

Sonar is an electronic device that uses the propagation characteristics of sound waves under water to complete underwater detection and communication tasks through electroacoustic conversion and information processing. As early as 1906, Lewis Nixon of the British Navy invented sonar. By the time of World War I, it began to be used on the battlefield to detect submarines lurking underwater, and these sonars could only be used to listen passively, which belonged to passive sonar, or "hydrophones".

Later, Britain and the United States and other countries began to study active sonar. And the Chinese Empire was no exception.

The Chinese Empire was originally a great and powerful country in the use of submarines. In future wars, it is very common to use submarines to attack the enemy's transportation lines, attack the enemy's ships, and reconnoiter intelligence. But at the same time, enemy submarines will become more and more rampant. While the Reich uses submarines to strike at the enemy, the Reich Navy also has to strike at the enemy's submarines. This requires the Imperial Navy to be equipped with weapons to defeat the enemy. And sonar is undoubtedly this kind of equipment that can detect submarines hidden underwater.

In the future, every ship of the Imperial Navy will be equipped with sonar for anti-submarine purposes. Especially in the aircraft carrier formation, anti-submarine warships are even more indispensable. Wu Haoxuan even planned to build an anti-submarine frigate in the future to hunt and kill submarines of various countries on the ocean, so as to ensure the safety of the empire's sea transportation lines.

In particular, the Empire will wage war against the United States in the future, and a large amount of supplies will need to be transported from the Empire to the front by sea. Therefore, these transport lines will inevitably become the focus of US submarine attacks. Protecting these transportation lines became a top priority for the Empire. This also made the Imperial Navy need to be equipped with more advanced sonar equipment than other countries.

Fortunately, the empire invested a lot in this area, and at the same time had the help of a large number of Western scientists. As a result, the empire has made rapid progress in this field, and has now far surpassed Britain and the United States to become the world's leading power.

At the Academy of Sciences, there is also a department for rocket projects. The head of the project department was the Russian Orkovsky. After the collapse of Russia, he was invited by the Chinese Empire to continue his research in China. In addition to him, there was also his student, Korolev, who was only 15 years old. The Empire provided them with a large number of assistants and a large amount of funding to allow their research to continue.

Of course, they are also in the service of the development of military technology in the Empire. Wu Haoxuan's individual rockets and multiple rocket launchers were developed under their auspices. Of course, as for more advanced missiles and sounding rockets, because of the limitations of science and technology, we can only think about it now. Only after the technical conditions are realized can we develop in these aspects step by step.

As for the other rocket genius, von Braun, is still a ten-year-old kid. However, the MIA is already focusing on this little guy. As long as he shows a talent and interest in rockets, the Empire will approach him and invite him to the Empire to work for the Empire's rocketing cause.

After coming out of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Wu Haoxuan was still very satisfied with the scientific research progress of the Academy of Sciences. In China, which is poor and white, it is already very good to be able to develop to this point. What's more, with a large amount of investment from the empire, the empire will gradually surpass European and American countries and become the leader in these scientific research fields. Of course, in the final analysis, these fields still have to serve the great cause of the empire to dominate the world.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
