864. The cost of life

The Feilong FL38G (P82) all-weather fighter ordered by Bai Shujie, that is, the ultimate improved version of the P51, has an empty weight of 3.2 tons and a maximum take-off weight of 5.3 tons. After the redesign, the take-off distance of the shipborne version is 219 meters, and the landing distance is 207 meters.

This is a carrier-based aircraft specially prepared by Bai Shujie for the British British-class aircraft carrier, because the flight deck of the Brilliant-class aircraft carrier is 238 meters long and 48 meters wide.

The Wyvern FL36G (P38) attack aircraft has a total weight of 5.8 tons, a maximum take-off weight of 8 tons, a take-off distance of 265 meters, and a landing distance of 238 meters, which can be directly used on Wasp-class aircraft carriers. Because its flight deck is 295 meters long and 41.5 meters wide.

The real thing that blocks the rope is not just a matter of words, because there is a huge risk, and it is a huge risk that directly threatens the safety of life.

In order to verify the development of the tail hook, Bai Shujie personally supervised the "carrier-based aircraft land training ground" in the southeast of Jiufeng Mountain for three months. Two of the 96 carrier-based attack planes were quickly destroyed, one pilot died heroically, and the other was seriously injured.

However, in the face of the danger of their lives at any time, none of the pilots flinched, and they all went forward and fought bravely.

The pilots are very plain and have no grandiose words. They had only one request for Bai Shujie, and once the new planes and aircraft carriers returned, they must be allowed to participate in the battle as the first carrier-based aircraft pilots.

As the commander-in-chief, what else can Bai Shujie say when he sees such subordinates?

The expert group of the research institute was also completely moved when they saw the soldiers' spirit of sacrificing their lives and forgetting their deaths. Every detail that followed was made after a lot of complex calculations before it dared to be put into experimentation.

Even so, all 16 96 ships were scrapped, and 11 of them were completely smashed into parts and became an exhibit in Pyongyang's "Pilot Meritorious Hall."

Because the new aircraft was about to return, Bai Shujie ordered the aircraft factory to immediately assemble the remaining 24 BF108/H, and then continue to put them into training.

After three months of desperate work, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhao Jinxi said with sadness: "There are 91 pilots who can take off and land on the ground!" ”

The expert group is also an on-site research office, and problems are immediately dealt with. The pilots and technicians cooperated with each other to determine the instantaneous prestress distribution law of the tail hook on the aircraft, and finally obtained more than 20,000 groups of jΓΉ.

During this period, in addition to the death of one pilot, 10 pilots were permanently disqualified from flying because they became disabled.

Including the pilot who died, the first batch of meritorious pilots of the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force was born.

For this reason, each wreck of the "Pilot Meritorious Hall" has a pilot's name on it.

The busts of these meritorious pilots are located at the Pyongyang Pilot Meritorious Museum. It has become a base for moral education for primary and secondary school students, and they must receive patriotic education here after the beginning of each semester.

In order to pass on this iron-blooded spirit, Bai Shujie immediately announced the establishment of a "carrier-based aircraft pilot training school," and these 10 pilots were the first batch of instructors.

After the tail hook and blocking cable have completed the test, the next step is to prepare for the change and reinforcement of the main beam structure of the future carrier-based aircraft. These things were not Bai Shujie's control, and he turned his head to ponder the problem of quick repair of the flight deck.

At the beginning, Bai Shujie took it for granted that he had not changed his thoughts and concepts from his previous life. In his opinion, the flight deck of an aircraft carrier is welded directly with steel.

As a result, I visited three steel mills in North Korea, and found that the rolling equipment and technology in this era are far from being as good as that.

It turns out that the flight deck of an aircraft carrier can only be welded longitudinally, not horizontally, otherwise, the impact force of the carrier-based aircraft landing will crack the welds, and the flight deck will immediately become unusable. Even if the weld is cracked, the crack direction is along the runway and does not affect the emergency take-off or landing.

However, the length of the flight deck is at least more than 200 and 300 meters, and it is impossible to roll out the coiled steel plate of this length in this era.

Because of this, a layer of planks needs to be laid on the deck of the aircraft carrier. Even if the weld underneath is cracked, the planks can be replaced at any time.

When Bai Shujie found out about this problem, other people didn't know, so they didn't understand Bai Shujie buying mahogany everywhere.

The first question of nerve-wracking: if you want to quickly repair the damaged deck, should you arrange for sailors to learn carpentry? Or train a carpenter into a sailor?

There is no answer to this question, Bai Shujie can only use a two-pronged approach, recruiting a group of young and middle-aged carpenters from the society to join the army. At the same time, select suitable people in the army, immediately transfer them to the navy, and then form an aircraft carrier deck maintenance group to serve as the fixed personnel of the aircraft carrier in the future.

Nerve-wracking second question: Is there a way to make the wooden deck less susceptible to fire? A bomb catches fire, and this loss is too great.

As soon as the wooden planks caught fire, it was very likely that the rescue would not be timely, and the planes parked on the deck would also be directed, and the fuel tanks of the guide would explode, and it was very likely that an aircraft carrier would be sent directly to the bottom of the sea.

In order to cooperate with Monne's research group in designing the engine's high-temperature tail nozzle and the thermal insulation material between the engine and the engine room, Bai Shujie took the lead in proposing asbestos fiber and graphite composites. Now it has been widely used in the heat insulation and sound reduction of ship engine rooms.

And for the next production of our own aircraft, to ensure that the fuselage is heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, fire-resistant, and to use lightweight asbestos composites, it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

However, the boards must be fire-resistant and can withstand compression, and Bai Shujie has now found a way to dissolve water-soluble refractories in water and then put the wood in it to soak.

The results showed that the soaked planks were poured with gasoline and ignited, and after the fire was extinguished, the planks could be preserved intact. Moreover, the toughness and strength of the soaked wood planks have been improved to a certain extent.

Bai Shujie was pondering the material problem of the future aircraft in his real room, Xiao Lamei came over in a small car, and shouted without getting out of the car at all: "Big brother, hurry back to the headquarters, someone is looking for you!" ”

"Who's in such a hurry?" Bai Shujie's face was full of black smoke and miasma, his nose and mouth were black, and he just wanted to jump into the car, but was blocked by Xiao Lamei: "Slow!" Look at you monkey, don't get this car of mine dirty. Someone bought it back from the UK! ”

"Yes, I'll get myself a car back when I go abroad, and I haven't thought about your big brother. Especially when you become a big lady, you actually dislike your eldest brother. Bai Shujie didn't care about that, and directly stuffed his body into the co-pilot's position.

When he returned to the office, Bai Shujie was taken aback, it turned out to be the personal representative of Horst, Germany: "Miss Ge Huilan, you are not staying in the villa area, what is the matter with me?" ”

"Commander-in-chief, I want to say that this time the one who came back with the fleet is also Horst!" Ge Huilan stared at Bai Shujie and said, "I have received a telegram that his fleet should be able to reach Pyongyang the day after tomorrow." However, he is wearing makeup, so no one should know him. ”

Bai Shujie was a little dizzy when he heard this: "Miss Ge, Mr. Horst is not staying in Berlin to serve his FΓΌhrer, what is he doing in Pyongyang?" ”

Unexpectedly, Glen's words were shattering: "Because Horst is Jewish!" And not an ordinary Jew, but an executive member of the Zionist Executive Council! ”

"Well, even if what you say about Horst's identity is true, what about yourself?" What does Bai Shujie think, the Ge Huilan in front of him is like a person from Vietnam and Burma, and she can't get along with Europeans: "You are Asian, how can you get involved with Horst?" ”

"I'm half Asian." Glendi nodded: "My father is Burmese and my mother is Jewish, so according to the teachings of Judaism, I am also Jewish." And my mother was Horst's sister, which is why Horst kept me in Pyongyang and didn't go back to Germany. ”

Bai Shujie nodded: "I don't understand, why did Horst suddenly come to me, did he come to pick you up?" ”

"No, it's because his identity has been revealed." Ge Huilan's feelings were a little depressed: "Half of the antibiotics he got from you were given to Hitler, and the other half was sent back to Israel." However, as the batch grew, the quantity he shipped back to Israel naturally increased. ”

As Hitler continued to expand and demand increased, the pressure on Horst naturally increased, and the eyes became tighter and tighter. At the beginning of this year, Horst arranged for a group of people to deliver medicine to Israel, only to be found by the SS, and more than 70 people were killed. Then Shun Teng found Horst, and he could only get out urgently. ”

"I'm still a little confused." Bai Shujie was a little puzzled: "Since you already have a foothold, why doesn't Horst return to Israel and what is he doing when he returns to Asia?" ”

"British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Hitler had a secret deal, and there was a danger of betraying not only Czechoslovakia, but even Israel. Because after Hitler annexed Czechoslovakia, Horst had already discovered that the governments of Bulgaria and Yugoslavia had begun to turn to Hitler, and the attitude of the Turkish government wavered. ”

"Germany is the main buyer of Turkish minerals such as chrome ore and iron ore, and Turkey's other raw materials such as leather, goat hair, cotton, oils and tobacco, etc., are also mainly exported to Germany. In exchange, Germany supplied Turkey with light and heavy industrial products. ”

"If Turkey renounces its position of neutrality and seeks asylum with Hitler, the situation in the Balkans will inevitably change dramatically, and it is likely to threaten Israel's very existence. Moreover, Israel is only a British jurisdiction and has no autonomy at all, which is why the Restoration Committee has appeared, hoping to seek to establish an independent government. ”

Bai Shujie still didn't understand: "As far as I know, millions of Jews have already fled to the United States. It's far away from the war, so why don't you go over and develop? ”

"Those Jews who came to the United States were elites in academia and finance, who just wanted to make money and had no special interest in building a nation." Ge Huilan said with a wry smile: "If you want to be independent, you must rebel against Britain, and for now, if you want to rebel against Britain, you will be suppressed by the United States." ”

"The main thing is that in order to be independent, you must have an army, and if you have an army, you must have a source of weapons. Under British control, Israel had no way to blatantly develop its army. Now, your European office has made a statement that is basically a declaration of war on Britain, so Horst wants to find a way to get it from you. ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
