Chapter 44 Long-Range Bomber Program
Li Yunlong laughed and said: "That's great, if we use this kind of engine to make bombers, we will definitely be able to bomb the homeland of the little devils, right?" ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Of course it's okay, and if we build such a bomber, it flies faster than the devil's fighter, and the little devil has no way to intercept it even if he wants to." ”
Li Yunlong said excitedly: "No, Xiao Duan, are you still looking for a long-range bomber for us?" ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Yes, what's the matter, so that we can avenge the blood of so many sacrificed comrades and ordinary people, let's fly the bomber to the palace of the Devil Emperor and blow it up!" ”
Li Yunlong laughed and said: "Well said, there is such a good thing, when the time comes, we must let our new group complete this task!" Show me, is this long-range bomber all designed? ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "It's just a preliminary plan, but if you want to see it, of course there is no problem!" ”
Next, Duan Yunpeng took out a preliminary overall design drawing, which was a four-engine turboprop long-range bomber, which immediately attracted Li Yunlong.
I saw that this long-range bomber really looked much more beautiful than the devil's bomber, and it was very large, and the four big propellers looked very fierce.
Duan Yunpeng said: "Our long-range bomber, now the preliminary design is like this, I named it Kunpeng No. 1 bomber, 25 meters long, 29 meters wingspan, more than 15 tons of empty weight, the maximum take-off weight of more than 30 tons, the maximum bomb load can reach 8 tons, its maximum range can reach 4,500 kilometers, so that it can ensure that under the condition of two tons of bomb load, it can fly from Shanghai and other places to the sky over Dongjin of the little devil for bombing." From there to Dongjin, the straight-line distance is 3,500 kilometers round trip. ”
Li Yunlong said excitedly: "Really? This bomber is too strong, it can fly to the home of the little devil to bomb, and when the time comes, I will go straight to its lair, hehe! ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, because our Kunpeng No. 1 long-range bomber will have a maximum flight speed of 650 kilometers and a cruising speed of 550 kilometers per hour, and I have also equipped it with four 14.5 mm Gatling machine guns, even if it encounters devil fighters to intercept it, it can easily deal with it." ”
How fierce this Gatling gun is, Li Yunlong has personally experienced it, and no matter how many little devils come, he can kill it.
Duan Yunpeng continued: "Our bomber will use the world's first turboprop engine, with a maximum power of 1,600 horsepower and a total power of 6,400 horsepower, and a bomber crew of eight!" ”
Li Yunlong said curiously: "Great, what is the principle of our turboprop engine?" How is it better than an aviation piston engine? ”
Duan Yunpeng said: "The advantage is that the weight is lighter, and the vibration is small, but it is similar to the piston engine in terms of fuel consumption, and its flight altitude can be higher, our bomber can fly to an altitude of 12,000 meters, and it is impossible for the little devil's fighter to fly so high, so he is not afraid of interception." ”
Li Yunlong said: "Such a good engine, it can also be installed on a fighter jet." ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "Of course it can, and it can also be used on transport planes, so it will be widely used in the future." ”
Li Yunlong said: "Then did you start building this engine?" ”
Duan Yunpeng smiled: "Leader, do you want to see it?" ”
Li Yunlong smiled: "Of course I want to see it." Where is it? ”
Duan Yunpeng said: "It's not so fast, you can wait another month, you can see our turboprop No. 1 engine, but we have already made a new type of propeller." ”
Li Yunlong asked Duan Yunpeng to take him to the workshop, and when he saw this new propeller, he saw that it was six blades, which was different from the previous Fury fighter, which was three blades.
Li Yunlong said curiously: "Why, this is six paddles." ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "The more blades there are, the higher the efficiency will naturally be, and our six-bladed propeller is still torque changing, so it can make the engine produce higher pulling efficiency, head of the regiment, you see this, the root of this blade is round, much thicker than the tip of the blade, and the tip of the blade is like a blade." This is because when it rotates, the speed at the root of the blade is low, and the speed at the tip of the blade is very high, so it needs to be thin. ”
Li Yunlong said curiously: "Xiao Duan, aren't you a farmer, how do you know so much?" ”
Duan Yunpeng laughed and said, "Of course it's studying, head of the regiment, you should also study hard." Read more books, it's always true, you can learn anything! ”
Li Yunlong pondered, how is this possible, no matter how much he reads, he can't get these things out.
That is a smart scholar like Zhao Gang, hasn't he also made any inventions?'
Li Yunlong said: "Then let's say so, we have built a fighter bomber, I'm afraid that the old oar's side won't come and ask for it, right?" Shall we give it to him? ”
Duan Yunpeng said: "Well, we can also sell it to them, in short, they are all used to fight devils, and if we defeat devils as soon as possible, we can live a good life." But we also have to guard against the old oars, so I think we can keep the ones we sell them and not give them the best! ”
Li Yunlong gave a thumbs up and said, "High, really high!" ”
Duan Yunpeng said with a smile: "That's not all, when the time comes, like the Americans, the British, they will definitely come to buy our planes, I think we will be able to make more money then, and our Eighth Route Army will have a better life!" ”
It is true that during World War II, the consumption of combat aircraft in various countries was particularly large, so the production of combat aircraft at this time was very large, for example, the United States produced nearly 300,000 aircraft, and if the Eighth Route Army Arsenal could produce 1,000 planes and sell them, it would be at least 100 million US dollars.
And it's entirely possible that there will be more than 1,000 of them, and when the time comes, 10,000 will be even more amazing.
Li Yunlong is excited to think about it!
The aircraft manufacturing industry is the most profitable, and Duan Yunpeng is now going to make a great contribution to the Eighth Route Army.
Next, Li Yunlong followed Duan Yunpeng to the production workshop of the tank destroyer.
Now the first tank destroyer has also appeared, and in another month it should be able to roll off the assembly line and start testing.
Li Yunlong smiled: "When these new weapons are tested, I'm coming, don't forget to inform me 1"
Duan Yunpeng said: "Of course, how can this be without you, the head of the regiment." ”
The wheeled armored vehicle chassis used in the tank destroyer is very good, and it will slowly expand in scale in the future, and when the Eighth Route Army is equipped with these equipment, let alone the little devils.
