Chapter 299 Boiled Frogs in Warm Water
Professor Su felt a little strange when he looked at the pulse engine. He asked Wang Xuexin: "Batalion Commander, with a range of 200 kilometers, what do we want to do with something that can hit such a long distance?"
Wang Xuexin said nothing.
Then Professor Su understood: "Batalion Commander, it's better to stop talking. I shouldn't ask this question!"
Wang Xuexin nodded and said: "There are some things that it is not convenient for me to reveal too much. I hope Mr. Su and Mr. Su will understand!"
"Understand, understand!"
"Of course I understand!"
Professor Su and He Zhimin answered hurriedly.
It's not that Wang Xuexin doesn't believe in the two of them.
In fact, if secrets were to be leaked, Professor Su and He Zhimin already knew enough.
The problem is that they are scientific researchers and it involves military secrets. They don’t need to know too much, so it’s better to know as little as possible.
Wang Xuexin's idea is actually very simple.
Isn’t the x1 limited by the "Hawker 81" interception platform and unable to fight deep into the Japanese area?
On the other hand, it is basically impossible to import more advanced fighters from Yingjiang.
In this case, the only way is to change the way of thinking, that is, to start with "high fire".
During this period, a cliche was often spread on the battlefield, such as the best way to deal with snipers is to use snipers.
From this, a series of seemingly reasonable statements can be derived:
The best equipment to deal with tanks is tanks.
The best equipment to deal with fighter planes is fighter planes...
In actual combat, this is not the case.
For example, the best way to deal with snipers is actually conventional troops or artillery.
For another example, the best way to deal with tanks is actually RPGs or helicopters... although helicopters have not yet developed as advanced as anti-tank at this time.
Likewise, is the best way to deal with fighter planes a fighter plane?
This may be true in this era, because except for fighter planes, there are almost no other equipment that can effectively counterattack.
But things are different in modern times. Various radars and anti-aircraft missiles make fighter aircraft restricted at every turn, and they eventually have to develop in the direction of stealth.
Wang Xuexin's plan to use "high fire" to attack the Japanese airport actually broke the deadlock of "airplanes can only be dealt with by aircraft".
Aircraft do not necessarily have to be dealt with only by aircraft, missiles can also be used.
As long as the missile has a long enough range, such as two hundred kilometers.
The Japs' airport is only two hundred kilometers away from Yuncheng. As long as the "high fire" is set up in Yuncheng, the Japs' airport can be hit...
The Japanese fighter planes must have somewhere to park, right?
There is always fuel at the airport, right?
In addition, there should be many vehicles for transporting supplies, right?
If a bunch of these "high fire" bombs are blasted, not to mention half of the hit rate, as long as one or two out of ten shots can hit... The Eighth Route Army's side can shoot a hundred or two hundred, and the Japanese can't eat it in an instant.
.
Once the Japanese airport is suppressed, there will be only two options:
One is to locate the airport further away.
The second is to find ways to intercept "high fire".
But neither seems to be a good approach.
The former is actually to move the air control area back layer by layer... When the Japanese airport retreats, the Eighth Route Army will push the airport forward, so in the air control, it can form a step-by-step air-ground coordination between "high fire" and fighter planes.
force.
The latter, what good way can the Japanese intercept "Gao Huo"?
Wang Xuexin was still worried that the Japanese would not stop "Gao Huo"!
Of course, most of these are military issues and there is no need to explain them clearly to Professor Su and He Zhimin.
Wang Xuexin looked at Professor Su and He Zhimin who were flipping through the information as if they had found a treasure, and asked: "How about, can we produce this kind of engine?"
He Zhimin nodded firmly and said: "With such detailed information and drawings, and the principle of this engine is not complicated, I guess there will be no problems!"
Wang Xuexin asked again: "How long will it take?"
Professor Su and He Zhimin looked at each other, then each shook their heads and said:
"uncertain!"
“I’ve never made an engine before, and I don’t have the relevant equipment, so I can’t be sure!”
Wang Xuexin expressed his understanding of this. This is the embarrassment of not having an industrial base. No one knows whether something will suddenly appear that the Eighth Route Army cannot produce, so it is really impossible to be sure.
In the end, Professor Su could only give Wang Xuexin a promise: "We and the researchers will make every effort to complete the development of this engine as soon as possible, and it probably won't take too long!"
Wang Xuexin is very confident about Professor Su's team. He knows that they will try their best... People in this era have a different mental state, especially the intellectuals who are willing to defect to the Eighth Route Army in such a difficult situation. This is enough to prove that they are real
patriot.
A true patriot is one who is ready to sacrifice everything for China, and will certainly not slack off at work.
Wang Xuexin's guess was correct.
As soon as Wang Xuexin left, Professor Su immediately organized a meeting with key members of the research team and assigned tasks.
Professor Su divided the development of new engines into several parts:
Engine casing, combustion chamber, and fuel supply system.
The most important and difficult one is the combustion chamber.
Although the principle is simple, it is to continuously suck air into the combustion chamber to mix with the fuel and then ignite it with a spark plug, but this action needs to be completed 42 times per second.
Only in this way will there be no obvious tremors that will affect the flight of the "High Fire".
While holding this information, Professor Su also sighed: "Fortunately, we have already obtained the flight data of the 'High Fire', otherwise we would add this thing now..."
As he spoke, Professor Su shook the information in his hand and said, "I'm afraid it would scare people to death!"
He Zhimin smiled "hehe" and asked, "Isn't that enough to scare you to death?"
"What do you mean?" Professor Su asked puzzledly.
"Lao Su!" He Zhimin said, "Look back and think about it, what was our plan when we decided to join the Eighth Route Army?"
Professor Su was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "At the beginning, we thought that we could help the Eighth Route Army design some simple and practical machinery, and even repair rifles and artillery, that's about it!"
He Zhimin asked again: "What now? Have you ever thought that this is what we will do in the Eighth Route Army one day? One moment it will be 'high fire', another moment it will be x1, these are all unheard of equipment!
I said, Lao Su, do you look like a frog boiling in warm water?"
"What's the 'boiling a frog in warm water' method?"
He Zhimin said: "If the battalion commander had given us all this information and ideas in one go when we first came here, just like you said, he would have scared us to death! But the battalion commander didn't do that, he gave us bit by bit
We give a little today and a little tomorrow. Now we are all used to it and feel that everything is taken for granted."
