Chapter 70: Preparations for the Great War
This early warning communication airship was prepared by Fan Bufan for the upcoming battle.
Inside the airship, not only a large radar is installed.
A communication base station is also installed to increase the communication range.
There are also a variety of entertainment and living facilities to ensure the life of the people inside the airship.
The director of the Airship Institute, named Pasharu, was a German.
Pashalu introduced Fan Bufan with a German seriousness: "Sir, this is the first generation of early warning communication airship that we have developed together with the Radar Research Institute. It can warn the whereabouts of enemy aircraft, and it can also establish a communication network and become the control and command center of the army. ”
Fan Bufan looked at the behemoth in front of him and asked, "Then how about its parameters, speed, and protection." ”
"The airship has a total length of 240 meters, a height of 60 meters, a maximum diameter of 50 meters, a payload of 60 tons, a cruising speed of 149km/h, and can be lifted to an altitude of 9,000 meters for cruising, and the interior is enough to carry various communication and command systems." There are also solar panels on the back, so as long as there are enough supplies, it is completely possible to stay in the air for a long time. ”
Fan Bufan was very satisfied with what he heard, this thing was invincible in the era of World War II, although the planes of World War II could fly more than 10,000 meters high, but who would fly so high if nothing happened, you must know that the oxygen on it is very thin.
The load of the airship is so large, it can completely produce oxygen through the oxygen generator inside, plus some living facilities, it is completely able to let people live on it for a period of time.
"Yes, what a big airship." Fan Bufan praised.
Turning around, Fan Bufan said to the soldiers of the Eagle Battalion behind him: "The operation of the first-generation early warning communication airship will be handed over to you. ”
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. Rest assured, we won't let you down. ”
"Chang Yuanshan, you are their commander." Fan Bufan said.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Chang Yuanshan was very excited.
"Get ready, get acquainted with the airship as soon as possible. Soon, we're going to get moving. Fan Bufan reminded.
"Understood."
Leaving the Airship Research Institute, Fan Bufan came to the nearby Artillery Research Institute again.
"Damla, is this a new artillery?"
When he came to the test site, Fan Bufan saw a group of people who were test-firing artillery.
"Yes sir, this is a 75mm field gun. It is possible to tow trucks, jeeps, armored vehicles. Damra said.
"Field artillery! It seems that there is no need for it now. Fan Bufan reminded.
Damra shook his head: "Nothing happens all at once, there is no accumulation in the early stage, and there is no outbreak in the later stage. ”
"I see what you mean. So, what about the performance. ”
"The total weight is 653 kilograms, which can be disassembled into nine large parts. The accessories of the artillery are highly standardized, which is convenient for maintenance and repair. The effective firing range is 7500 meters, and the rate of fire is about 3~6 rounds per minute. There are boosters on the gun, which reduces recoil. One gun requires 5 people to operate, is armed with grenades, armor-piercing shells, smoke shells. ”
"Very good artillery, are there any other artillery?" Fan Bufan asked.
When Damra heard this, he took Fan Bufan to another place in the test site.
Then he introduced: "This is a mortar of our design, with a caliber of 60, 80, 105 calibers. ”
"These three correspond to company, battalion, and regimental firepower." Damra continued.
Fan Bufan picked one up casually and weighed it, and said, "It's more than forty pounds, it's quite heavy." ”
"Yes, although the use is mainly a matter of material. If we had better light alloy materials, I guess the weight could have been a little lighter. Damra said.
"It's okay to urge the alloy lab, the materials can only find them." Fan Bufan was also very helpless.
Damra sighed, "Go, now the major research institutes are about to trample Pasley's laboratory." ”
"Okay, I'll figure it out as soon as I can." Fan Bufan said.
"Okay."
"Let the arsenal produce these artillery and ammunition as soon as possible, I don't want to run out of weapons and ammunition when there is a war." Fan Bufan reminded.
"No problem, sir."
Then, Fan Bufan came to the Armored Vehicle Research Institute.
"How's it going, is there any progress now?" Fan Bufan asked.
"Sir, we still haven't made much progress on large diesel engines. Instead, we looked at a versatile field jeep. Clem said.
"Oh? Show me! Fan Bufan was very interested when he heard this.
When he came to the test site, Fan Bufan saw the jeep.
The jeep is very rudimentary in appearance, and it doesn't even have doors.
"This is a jeep designed by us to be used as a reconnaissance vehicle, a command vehicle, and a small arms transporter. The horsepower is 70P, the payload is 400 kg. Use low-pressure tires, four-wheel drive. Clem said.
"Have all the people in the army experienced it?" Fan Bufan asked.
Clem nodded: "I've tried them all, and they think it's very good." At their request, a machine-gun mount was followed on the frame of the jeep. If necessary, a machine gun or a grenade launcher can be mounted on it. ”
"This design is good, and it has directly become a firepower rush vehicle." Fan Bufan appreciated it.
"The only pity is the production, because the production of engines is too low, so the production of jeeps is not very high." Clem said with pity.
Fan Bufan also understood the various problems in the industrial zone, so he didn't say anything.
"Let's produce as much as we can." Fan Bufan can only say this.
Coming to the Aircraft Research Institute, Fan Bufan saw Willy Schmidt who was experimenting in the wind tunnel laboratory.
"How's the new fighter, Dr. Schmidt?" Fan Bufan asked.
"According to the classification of Mr., the second-generation fighter has been successfully developed by our joint radar research institute and Braun's rocket research institute." Schmidt replied.
Fan Bufan looked at the fighter jet in the wind tunnel and asked, "So, what is this?" ”
Schmidt said: "This is the third generation fighter that we are experimenting with, but whether it is the engine or the radar, the missile has a big problem. ”
"This is not in a hurry, how is the second-generation combat production." Fan Bufan asked.
Schmidt replied: "Well, at the moment it can produce six aircraft a month. ”
"Why so little?" Fan Bufan was very dissatisfied.
Schmidt was also helpless: "No way, whether it is radar or not, the output of the engine and titanium alloy fuselage is very low." Moreover, the accompanying missiles could only be made through Braun's laboratory. According to the current situation, there is no way to form combat effectiveness without a year or two. ”
Fan Bufan understood, in the final analysis, the reason why his industrial base was too weak.
If there is an industrial base like Huaxia or Laomei, these equipment will not be built in minutes.
When he went to the Industrial City, Fan Bufan saw large factories.
And these factories are the foundation of all Fan Bufan's future foundations.
Leaving the industrial city, Fan Bufan came to Zola's laboratory.
"Doctor, how is the research of the Power Stone now?" Fan Bufan asked.
Zola saw that it was Fan Bufan, so he said, "I already have a way to control the power stone, but there are still a lot of materials missing. Therefore, it is not possible to make large-scale energy conversion equipment. ”
"What's missing?"
"Something that can resist a lot of energy changes." Zola tract.
"What about titanium?" Fan Bufan asked.
Zola said, "Yes, yes, but with the current industrial output, the pace is a bit slow." ”
"Slow is better than nothing, so design the design and make the equipment as soon as possible. We have more and more factories now, and if this continues, I am afraid that there will not be enough electricity. Fan Bufan said worriedly.
Dr. Zola nodded, "Okay, I'll push for the construction of a new power plant." ”
Thinking of something, Fan Bufan asked, "By the way, has the detector of the power stone been made?" ”
Hearing this, Zola took out a detector and said, "This is it, this is a detector I made based on the magnetic field of the power stone. ”
With that, Zola took the probe and came to a power stone.
As soon as it got close to the power stone, the detector made a sound.
"Yes, give me the blueprints and the finished product, and I'll have people install these devices on those robots right away." Fan Bufan said.
Hearing this, Zola picked up a hard drive and handed it to Fan Bufan.
