Chapter 144 Technology Research and Development Center
The continuous evolution of war depends on the development of science and technology. Whoever leads the development of science and technology will be invincible in the war! ————"Quotations from Kongchen"
In fact, not only Schroeder was riding with him this time, but also several domestic scientists from all walks of life. They were all scientists searched by the Military Intelligence Division from all over the world. For example, the mathematicians Chen Jiangong and Su Buqing were found by Li Weidong one after another.
Moreover, Li Weidong had earlier invited physicist Wu Youxun and geologist Li Siguang here in the name of "the country and the nation need you!" They have been engaged in research here for a while.
They also thought for a long time along the way. Several of them were scientists from different disciplines. Could it be that Li Weidong asked them to come here because there was some important experiment that required these different scientists to gather together?
After thinking for a long time, they still couldn't figure it out. When they came to a mysterious place, the level of martial law that was like a military restricted area only added to their doubts.
After getting off the subway, everyone was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. The dazzling things made them dizzy. There were many things here that they had never seen before.
After arriving at this destination, they planned to let Li Weidong clear up their doubts!
"Come! Come! Let me introduce to you, this is Liu Rongzhi, the head of the Science and Technology Center!" Li Weidong introduced to everyone a scientist who is over fifty years old.
He is the engineer of the base system and is mainly responsible for the mutual coordination of various departments in the science and technology center. He does not need to have much scientific knowledge, but he must know how to coordinate and manage.
At the same time, Li Weidong secretly asked Xinhua, the base assistant, what level of scientists these people were. Xinhua didn't know exactly how to test it. He just told Li Weidong that they could almost reach the level of second-level scientists.
It is enough to make up for the manpower needs of the technology research and development center.
"General Li! Can you let us see the research equipment here?" Schroeder asked first.
For him, many of his studies require the help of large machinery, so he is also most concerned about research equipment.
Li Weidong would not stop the thoughts of several people. After most of them had adapted, he would take them to the technology laboratory inside the center.
In the science and technology research and development center, many research and development subjects have come to a standstill due to the lack of hosts. Now with these people, Hainan Army's science and technology research and development capabilities will be greatly improved.
Then Li Weidong led several people into the secret laboratory. Unlike the laboratories outside, many of the research equipment here cannot see the light of day because they are too far beyond the technological capabilities of this era.
Of course, a secret experiment must look secret. Li Weidong took everyone on the elevator, passed through several defense levels, and came to a glass door. Liu Rongzhi, who was leading the way, swiped the magnetic card, then pressed the password, and there was a puff of air.
, the tempered glass is opened to everyone.
"Oh my God! It's incredible!" Everyone felt incredible. If the technology above only surprised them, then the things here finally amazed them.
"It's really unimaginable! And how could there be such a thing here?" Physicist Wu Youxun couldn't help but marveled after seeing a large machine!
The machine in front of you is simply a particle collider. It applies a force to the ions and causes the two ions to collide with each other to study the collision phenomenon.
It was said that only half of its body was exposed outside, and the rest of the main body was still a few floors underground, but Wu Youxun had already recognized it. And I had only heard of this machine, but I didn't expect to see it in my own country.
Soon everyone also found various instruments and equipment they needed in the academic branch. There was endless exclamation from each other, and some almost jumped with excitement.
Originally, Li Weidong planned to let these scientists rest for a few days to adapt to the environment here before allowing them to engage in research work. But when he saw that several people were very interested, Li Weidong did not bother them and asked Liu Rongzhi to assist them in their work.
"Schroeder, come with me!" Li Weidong called to Schroeder and asked him to come with him.
You must know that the Science and Technology Research and Development Center is not a simple name. It actually condenses the most advanced level of science in an era.
Although due to the limitations of the Space-Time Management Bureau, the technological capabilities cannot reach the space technological capabilities of later generations. But as the provider of Tianming Base technology, how bad will the technological capabilities here be?
After entering another scientific research area, Li Weidong said to Schroeder behind him: "You will work here from now on, and I will introduce you to an assistant!"
With that said, Li Weidong called an engineer wearing glasses and introduced: "He will be your deputy from now on. If you need anything, just tell him!"
Schroeder's attention did not stay here now. From the moment he entered here, his eyes stayed on the numerous research equipment here.
In the past, because there was no funding shortage due to sponsorship, it was possible to save money on research and development equipment. There were even a few pieces of research equipment here that he had only seen in foreign academies of science, but now he saw so many advanced experimental instruments.
Can you not feel excited?
"Okay! That's great! As long as the general allows me to study my subject here, I can sit anywhere you want!" Schroeder was speechless, he was so excited.
No one knows the capabilities of these equipment better than him. In this large-scale laboratory, these high-end instruments can not only make his current research transparent, but can even take his scientific research results to a new level.
It is impossible to say that he has no ideas. He even has his own ambitions. He wants to create a new era of metal development and leave his name in the history of science.
"This is for you, open it yourself!" Li Weidong handed an information packet to Schroeder and asked him to open it himself.
The more Schroeder looked at it, the more shocked he became. It was full of technological research and development techniques related to alloys, and there were even some smelting methods that he had never heard of.
All of this information was extracted by Li Weidong from the base system. Although it is in a complete state in theory, you must understand these technologies thoroughly if you want to put them into use.
It's like climbing a science and technology tree. Only when you climb high enough can you access higher science. Just like if you can't walk, how can you learn to run?
Only by mastering this scientific and technological knowledge can the Hainan Army put it into widespread use. This is also a limitation of the system's scientific and technological research and development. In fact, if it weren't for Li Weidong's lack of metal scientists, such a good thing would not have been his fault.
Schroeder couldn't help but ask. He couldn't figure out what Li Weidong meant: "This is...? General, are everything in it true?"
"Yes! Your current enthusiasm is to lead your group to thoroughly understand this information! I need to see the real substance!" Li Weidong said decisively.
The information he gave was research information on superalloys. The reason why the base tank factory has been unable to break through the manufacturing of heavy tanks lies in the smelting of metals.
Don't think that heavy tanks simply increase the tank's defense and its own quality. This is actually a misunderstanding.
As we all know, the greatest use of tanks on the battlefield is to attack the enemy's defense line and cover the advance of infantry, so they will be the focus of the enemy's attack on the battlefield.
Increasing the thickness of steel to a certain extent can indeed improve defense. But if faced with heavy artillery, unless the tank's armor is extremely thick, it will still be unable to withstand the attack.
But if the tank armor is too thick, it means that the weight of the tank itself will increase significantly. If the weight increases by hundreds of tons, how can the tank be used? How fast can it run? And will it crush the bridge?
Besides, if ordinary steel is used to defend against armor-piercing bullets, if it is shot at close range, even with thickened armor, it may not be able to defend against it.
Therefore, the development of tanks lies in the development of armor strength. For example, the defensive power of those fourth-generation tanks of later generations is not equivalent to 1000mm of ordinary steel.
After explaining Schroeder's tasks, Li Weidong suddenly felt free. He was usually busy at work and felt uncomfortable when he suddenly stopped.
After wandering around the base for a while, Li Weidong finally came to the base command center. He was the only one who could enter and leave freely here. Of course, Xinhua, who was a system assistant, was not included. There was nothing in Tianming Base that she could not go to.
place.
"Xinhua! What are the conditions for the next level upgrade of Tianming Base?" Li Weidong asked.
In order to seek a suitable proportion of base system soldiers in the army, to expand base capabilities, and to lift the ban on weapon systems, it is imperative to upgrade the Destiny Base.
"Your Excellency, Commander! If you want to upgrade the base, you must control an area that meets the requirements and have initially mastered the level technology!" Xinhua's three-dimensional projection body appeared in front of Li Weidong with a swish, and then replied.
"What's missing?" Li Weidong asked. He always had to ask clearly about this matter, so that he could have a clear idea in his mind.
A virtual screen popped up in front of Xinhua, showing the completion status: "The area under control is still short of 150,000 square kilometers, and the scientific and technological capabilities are short of 11.7%! Other requirements have been met!"
"Well! With the technological capabilities of Schroeder and the others, they can complete it very quickly! But this notification area is the difficulty of the game!" Li Weidong said to himself.
The area under control is indeed a problem. The Hainan Army can no longer provoke foreign wars, nor can it annex the territory of the National Army. Now Li Weidong does not want to fall out with the Nanjing government, so the plan to seize the territory of the National Army can only be terminated.
After thinking about it, Li Weidong suddenly thought of a solution. Why did he always think about seizing the territory from the National Army, but why did he forget that he could regain the lost territory from the Japanese army?
If those lost territories were recovered by the Hainan Army through independent fighting, Li Weidong didn't believe that Chiang Kai-shek could still snatch them from him? And now it seems that the plan to march westward to Guangxi must be accelerated.
