"Nakasa."

Northern Review.

Wireless war room.

A staff officer walked in and woke up Shibata Ken, a radio expert who was sleeping on his desk.

"Tegaoke asked me to ask you."

The staff officer asked:

"Is it now possible to locate the enemy's navigation beacon signals?"

"Yesterday, eight more transport planes landed near Beiping, and more than 100 intellectuals of the Republic of China who rebelled against the empire were picked up by the Eighth Route Army."

"Tegaoke is still such a waste."

Shibata Tsuki, who was woken up, glanced at the staff officer and sneered.

However, with the battle of Zhizishan Bridge, the independent regiment took out a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, combined with tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells, and the best Type 97 medium tank of the devil became scrap metal.

No matter how good the machine and equipment are, it also needs people to operate, and people are the biggest loophole in this process.

Only these real technicians can know how big the technological gap between the locust army and the earth eight roads is today.

A tank, in the camp, with its huge size and long barrel, represents a new model that is very different from all the current tanks in Japan.

But obviously,

In the battle with the Tu Eighth Route Underground Party, the Imperial Special High Branch was obviously at a disadvantage, and after more than five months of fighting, it still failed to capture the navigation beacon of the Eighth Route Army.

"Technology!"

Operators even switch it on and off regularly.

This makes it more difficult to locate.

Eventually, with the arrival of a large amount of scrap steel, the arrival of machinery and equipment, and even the arrival of purchased technology, as well as the orientation of the southward strategy, the alliance of the Germans finally contributed to the birth of this new tank.

Otherwise, more than a hundred people would not be able to leave smoothly at the same time without triggering the vigilance of the empire.

January 41.

confirms the ancient saying of the Chinese,

A loss may turn out to be a gain.

How desperate.

Northern Review.

Because, the navigation beacon of the Dirt Eight Road is still 50 frequency hops per second, and the frequency spanning is so large that it once surpassed the most powerful radio pursuit instrument in the empire.

"We named it the Type 3 Medium Tank."

Although the Empire is unable to crack or even locate the enemy's signals, in the process of researching and conquering the enemy's technology, its own technology has been greatly improved.

The top brass of the devils deeply felt the weakness of the Imperial armored tank, and gave birth to the idea of developing a tank with thicker armor and stronger firepower.

The 27th Division was stationed.

Of course

And then came, at the beginning of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the Independent Regiment came up with a PAK 75 mm anti-tank gun, and quickly advanced this idea.

The only thing he can think of is to start with people.

However, there are many imperial people who have been bought recently.

Then, shaking his head, he replied:

"Locate navigation beacon signals?"

Due to time constraints, only five prototypes have been built so far.

An order from the top of the Imperial military,

All organs and departments were required to strengthen the supervision of the intellectuals of the Republic of China who rebelled against the empire, and when necessary, even arrest and guard them under house arrest, just to prevent these talents from falling into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Not even continuous discovery.

"Hey."

Under such strict orders,

In one day, more than 100 people were picked up by the Eighth Route Army.

The staff officer bowed his head and left.

After the Nomenkan, the rapid and firepower of the BT7 tank made the devil deeply feel the lack of the empire's armored force, so he strengthened the research and development and investment in armor.

"Tell the special high school that unless they can give me three to five physical navigation beacons, and then give me a few million dollars in funding, and go back to the country for three or five years to study, I can't locate the location of the navigation beacon on Tuba Road."

"This is the Empire's newest tank."

The devil technical officer was quite proud to introduce.

It must be that there is a loophole within the department.

However, at that time, the Soviet Union and Japan signed a non-aggression pact, and the pressure on the Republic of China was low, so this time to strengthen research and development, it was only thunder and rain.

There were even staff officers of the front army who complained that the Eighth Route Army obtained the secret information of the empire faster than their staff.

The Reich tried its best, even with the help of German technical experts, but it was still unable to locate the beacon signals used by the Eighth Route Army to mark the night navigation of transport aircraft.

In particular, radio encryption technology can be said to have increased by several years in just a few months, and the difficulty of deciphering has increased several times.

This technology, even applied by the Navy and the Army at the same time for the first time, can be called a miracle of the imperial military, which is enough to see the great improvement of technology.

After the staff officer left, Shibata Ken sighed silently.

Although the devil is called a Type 3 medium tank, as an emergency product, even if technology from Germany is used, its essence is still an improved product of a medium tank.

The engine was the same, still a 240 hp engine, with the same hull structure, but with an increased turret and a reduced speed due to the increased weight.

At the same time, the armor was strengthened, and the front armor came to 50 mm, which was enough to block 12.7 mm heavy machine gun fire at any distance, even if it was tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells, no matter how close the distance, it could not penetrate.

"The thickness of the front armor is fifty millimeters."

The introduction of the devil technician caused a wave of horror among the surrounding devils.

"Profit!"

"Fifty millimeters of armor?"

"This time, I finally don't have to worry about the heavy machine guns on the dirt road."

In the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the Devil Tank Force attacked from all sides, but the losses were great, and the core reason was that the troops were equipped with a large number of 12.7 mm heavy machine guns.

With a mere 25 mm of frontal armor and 12 mm of side armor, it is possible to penetrate the flanks at a distance of almost 500 meters with tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells.

Within 300 meters, it can also penetrate the front.

Even at a distance of five hundred meters, if covered with dense machine-gun fire, it is possible to destroy a devil tank on the front.

"Can you block the anti-tank guns of the Eighth Route Army?"

But a sharp question arises.

Suddenly

There was silence in the venue.

The new anti-tank gun of the Tubalu, the model has been investigated by the intelligence department, is the PAK40 anti-tank gun of the Germans, but because it is more technologically advanced, it is more powerful.

Fifty millimeters can be blocked?

"I can't stop it."

The devil technician answered honestly.

"It's not a big problem, the enemy has a good number of such artillery."

There were officers who saved the locust army.

The devils glanced at each other and were noncommittal about this statement.

The enemy's anti-tank artillery is indeed not much, it is estimated that there are only seventy to eighty pieces, but the new tanks of the empire cannot stop the enemy's shells, not to mention, the number is even less.

They haven't been put into service yet!

United States.

Massachusetts Biochemistry Laboratory.

"It's really... Incredible. ”

Dr. Fryce looked at the bottle of imported insulin in his hand, and his tone was full of amazement:

"How the hell is this done?"

Since the discovery of insulin and the determination of efficacy, preparation has been the number one problem in the medical community.

It was originally extracted from animal pancreas.

However, a ton of animal pancreas, which can only extract five grams of insulin, is low in production and expensive, while in the United States alone, more than a million people need insulin, which simply cannot meet the market demand.

Moreover, there are subtle differences in amino acid structure between animal insulin and human insulin, which can cause an immune response and reduce the efficacy of the drug.

As well as the purification process is difficult to remove all impurities, and the adulterated impurities in the extraction of insulin from animals may lead to allergic reactions and even cause animal-borne infections.

But even so, insulin is still hard to come by.

Since 1921, when animal insulin was extracted and used in medicine, Dr. Fryce and his mentor have been working on the synthesis of artificial insulin.

But until now, even the basic structure of insulin has not been able to be analyzed.

Not to mention synthetic.

So, at this time, when he saw the pure, perfect insulin medicinal crystal, Dr. Fleses was amazed - how the hell did this happen.

Dr. Fryce's shock was actually quite normal.

In fact

Later, it took 56 years to complete the analysis of the amino acid structure of insulin, and human beings really saw the structure of insulin.

And then

In 65 years, the chemical synthesis of bovine insulin was completed for the first time in China, so it almost won the Nobel Prize.

It was not until the late 70s that the big international pharmaceutical companies realized the industrial chemical synthesis of human insulin.

But

Chemical synthesis is still very inefficient, resulting in extremely high costs for insulin production, which simply cannot meet market demand.

It was not until the mid-80s, when genetic recombinant technology matured, that large-scale industrial mass production of insulin was realized, and since then, the price of insulin has been lowered and entered the homes of ordinary people.

So

At this point, Dr. Fracles was shocked to see the insulin in front of him.

"Hey..."

After a long time, Dr. Fryce let out a long sigh and looked down at a translation manuscript, looking stunned.

The translation is about the biological structure of insulin.

Subdivided into each amino acid.

And this diagram of the amino acid structure of insulin is a goal that Dr. Fracles and his mentor have pursued for more than a decade.

But now, this ultimate goal is in front of him.

That

So that he doesn't know what to do?

If it had been published a year ago, the Nobel Prize would have been his.

But now...

There is a copy in the package insert for every insulin package.

It's not something that can only be done one day.

This requires a complete set of advanced research equipment and systems.

It is the crystallization of ultra-advanced industrialization.

"No wonder."

At this moment, I understand why the top level of the government will relax the situation in the Pacific so much and relax the trade between the United States and Japan normally.

Take a peek at the leopard.

Through this insulin amino acid manual, Dr. Frales can see that behind this instruction manual is a complete set of advanced technology research systems that he can hardly imagine.

This is a biochemical research system that the United States cannot match.

Advanced technology that has been advanced for at least twenty years.

so

How powerful is it to research and produce such pure insulin, and 90% pure penicillin sodium salt, high blood pressure drugs, and antidepressants?

There is such a terrible force lurking in the world.

How can you not let the United States be like a man's back and a fish in your throat? (End of chapter)
