The generals of the Air Force were beaming, and Yang Rui thought about the money spent and the money that would be spent, and he couldn't help but hear in his mind again, about the argument that the Air Force only has 10 percent of the role of the modern warfare guide, if the role of the Air Force is only 10 percent, then the funds should only be given 10 percent, but now it is far more than that. ⊥ top novel,

When Yang Rui was distressed, Major General Pan Shizhong and Li Ruyan took him and Xu Huafeng to the test shed of the research institute. Li Ruyan pointed to something similar to a rural windmill, and said proudly: "Prime Minister, this is a wind tunnel designed and manufactured by the research institute!" ”

"Wind Tunnel?!" Yang Rui was a little surprised, he had heard a lot of this word, but he didn't expect it to appear now, and he didn't expect it to be as simple as a windmill......

When Yang Rui muttered in his heart, Li Ruyan said: "This wind tunnel is copied from the Wright brothers in the United States, and we learned about the intelligence department's information about the wind tunnel, so we started to copy one." The performance of this wind tunnel is better than that of Wright, the air flow in the wind tunnel can reach about 60 kilometers per hour, and many aspects of the shape design and structure of the aircraft need to be determined by the wind tunnel test. ”

The chief engineer said that the windmill was a wind tunnel, and Yang Rui, as a layman, could only admit it, although in his opinion, the wind tunnel must be a cave. "The plane has flown at least 120 kilometers, so the degree of the wind tunnel is not enough?"

"It's not enough." Li Ruyan said, and he immediately added: "If you want to build a higher wind tunnel, the investment required will be greater, especially the continuous addition of multi-stage motors." And the length of the wind tunnel should also be increased by ......"

'I want money again'. Yang Rui was only fooled in his heart, but he said: "The wind tunnel must be the best." The heart of the designer aircraft. The wind tunnel is at the heart of the design. ”

"Understood. Premier! Li Ruyan said happily. With this sentence, he has been thinking about it for a long time, and the Gao Feng Tunnel can be regarded as a shadow, and he only shouts long live the prime minister in his heart!

"What is this?" Yang Rui didn't expect that his wise decision would make another subordinate return to his heart. He saw a dive bomber next to him hanging erectly from the beam of the test shed, and many sandbags were hanging from the wings.

"Prime Minister, this is the strength test we did before." Li Ruyan said: "The wind tunnel degree is not enough, especially when the plane dives very quickly, many times the degree will exceed 500 kilometers, at this time the tensile force of the fuselage is extremely great, before the test flight, we first use the sandbag loading method to test the strength of the fuselage in order to ensure safety......

"Sandbag loading method?" Yang Rui asked, feeling that this was a solution. That must have a history.

"Yes, Prime Minister, this is the usual method of foreign aircraft manufacturers, and we will learn from it." Li Ruyan said. "In addition to testing the body, we also have to test the tensile force of various materials, the grain pressure, the transverse grain pressure, the shear force, and the bending force of the wood; Their physical properties such as density, humidity, specific gravity are also tested. After all, Li Ruyan is from an industrial school, although she is not a systematic aircraft major - in fact, there was no university with an aircraft manufacturing major at that time, but she still has a good eye for research. When Yang Rui praised him in his heart, he took an aluminum alloy sheet and said, "Prime Minister." In the future, the aircraft industry will be developed, and this material will be booming, and if the aluminum alloy can be rolled into wider sheets like steel plates, then the entire aircraft can be made of metal. It is possible to no longer use Irish numbness or plywood. ”

Seeing Li Ruyan say this, Yang Rui and Xu Huafeng looked at each other and smiled, Xu Huafeng coughed and said, "You can rest assured." The Prime Minister attaches great importance to aircraft, and he always thinks about problems ahead of us. At present, Lvliang Electrolytic Aluminum Factory not only purchases 5,000 tons of hydraulic presses for die-casting aluminum alloy parts. A German rolling mill with a roll width of 1,120 mm was also purchased, but it was originally used to roll steel plates. Now it will take some time to adjust to roll aluminum plates, but it won't be long, anyway, you can get aluminum plates with a width of 1,000 millimeters.

Aircraft design is actually just the tip of the iceberg floating on the surface of the sea, and the bottom is full of basic industrial technologies, such as smelting technology, metal processing technology, and motivation technology, which are the icebergs under the surface of the sea. Most of the Iron and Steel Plant Project in Shanxi Industrial Park and all of the Lvliang Aluminum Plant are built for aircraft manufacturing, and you can relax here, and the Ministry of Industry guarantees to provide the best conditions for aircraft manufacturing. ”

Xu Huafeng, who rarely said anything about the scene, suddenly changed his temper and began to emphasize the support of the Ministry of Industry for aircraft manufacturing, and he portrayed the situation so well that it only made everyone's eyes shine, but Yang Rui poured cold water a little, he said: "Seriously, the Air Force spends more money than I imagined before, and the pilots are simply piled up with silver and gold." The funds allocated by the government to the Air Force come from taxes, and the taxes come from the people, and it is not easy for the people to live. I want you to save some money, but I know that you can't just save money when you want to get things done...... Hey, I really don't know what to say...... I say that you should not be burdened with these things, and do your best to complete your work. Yang Rui was a little speechless at this time, in order to avoid embarrassment, he pointed to another test shed and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”

The first test shed is the entire airframe, and this test shed is a variety of components, which are reflected in Yang Rui's previous writings on the notepad, such as explosion-proof fuel tanks, auxiliary fuel tanks, glass transparent covers, parachutes, automatic fire extinguishers, bulletproof seats, ejection seats, shooting coordinators, etc., some of which have been used in aircraft, and some are just technical reserves.

Seeing these things become reality one by one, Yang Rui asked, "What are the ones that have been used in practice now?" ”

No one knows that the mysterious person who came up with these ideas is the current prime minister, Li Ruyan said: "Many have been used in practice, such as parachutes, bulletproof seats, shooting coordinators, which have been used in aircraft, and explosion-proof fuel tanks, glass cabin covers, etc. have also been developed, but have not yet been installed on the aircraft, mainly because the design of the fighter has been delayed......

In the original plan, torpedo bombers accounted for 80 percent of the total number of combat aircraft, and fighters and reconnaissance planes accounted for only 20 percent, but even so, fighters were still difficult to produce. Compared to the torpedo plane, which pursues range and does not care so much about flexibility. There are many problems with fighter jets, in order to pursue static and unstable dìng. Designers have even reinstalled rotary cylinder motors on airplanes, but high-power rotary cylinder motors often induce a gyroscopic effect. And once the plane is in the gyroscope, it is difficult for even an experienced pilot to change it; However, the use of low-horsepower rotary cylinder motor, the aircraft in terms of aviation and fuselage strength is difficult to compete with the aircraft equipped with high-power star motor, so after a detour for a while, sacrificing two test pilots, the design institute returned to the old road of star-shaped motor and liquid-cooled V-shaped motor, and began to strengthen the study of the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft.

"What about the tactics of two-plane formation and air rotation?" Yang Rui asked again, these are also what he sees from novels and movies, and he can't practice them. I had to hand it over to the following to handle the results of the re-inspection.

"Prime Minister, these have been put into practice." Major General Pan Shizhong said. "Later, I will ask the Prime Minister and Lord Xu to move to the reservoir area, where there will be a drill, and the Prime Minister and Lord Xu will review it."

There wasn't much to see at the design institute, but it wasn't long before Yang Rui and Xu Huafeng arrived in the reservoir area, where the air force was going to perform torpedo attacks, dive bombing, and fighter fights. These drills were carried out by the current batch of trainees, and only the dive bombing was an old pilot, after all, the plane had just been designed and had not undergone special training. It is difficult to ensure the safety of students.

The torpedo attack was not brilliant, especially because of the nervousness, the first group of torpedo attack sailboats was not successful, and the later groups swung at the appropriate level. The formation was neat, the flight was high, the torpedo was dropped, and the return to the team was carried out neatly. Because the dive bomber had already been manufactured, the vertical dive attack and the horizontal torpedo attack did not need to be mentioned by Yang Rui, so Major General Pan Shizhong arranged for the troops to begin to cooperate with each other. This overwhelmed the anti-aircraft fire on the sailing ship for a while, and the threat from above and from the flanks did not know what to choose. Coupled with the strafing of the fighters, many machine gun shooters on the sailing ship were hit by their rubber bullets and could not lift their heads.

The air was full of the roar of aircraft engines. On the water, there is a desperate struggle between the sailboat and the machine gun, although the attack is only two sailboats, but Yang Rui feels that he is watching a World War II movie, it is really enjoyable, only at this moment he feels that the value of tens of millions of dollars, let him damn ten percent hell!

After the attack ship drill was over, Yang Rui specially went to the airport to visit the planes of the exercise, and he didn't say much about the torpedo bombers, but was very concerned about the dive bombers. The length of the aircraft is 7.58 meters, the wingspan is 8.85 meters, the wing area is 27.87 square meters, the height of the aircraft is 2.** meters, and the maximum time can reach 260 kilometers. In order to make the aircraft withstand the height of the dive, the main beam is made of vanadium steel, and the other beams are made of aluminum alloy pipes, which adds 180 kilograms of weight to the aircraft, plus it is vulnerable to attack during the dive, and we have specially added armor to the pilot's seat, fuel tank, and motor, which makes the aircraft empty weight of 1,140 kilograms, which is 375 kilograms more than the fighter.

In addition to the increased weight, the structure of the aircraft has also been adjusted, the machine gun has been placed on the upper wing of the upper wing, and the pilot's seat has been raised so that you can get a good view when diving; In addition, a brake reduction plate is installed at the rear of the wing, and the pilot can control the degree of the aircraft through the aluminum reduction plate when diving. After several tests of the prototype, we believe that it has been able to withstand the impact of the dive, and the only drawback is that it carries too few bombs, and with reduced fuel, the aircraft can carry two 60-kilogram bombs, or three 40-kilogram bombs......"

Yang Rui had only seen Stuka's description in World War II Hardvin, and knew the function and usefulness of this aircraft, and according to the trivial but effective information he provided, the design institute basically mastered the key points of dive bomber design after hundreds of tests and the cost of human lives. But the story of the design process is endless for three days and three nights, so Li Ruyan just introduced the performance of this aircraft lightly, and only inadvertently in his will he sincerely love this semi-metal structure, single tail, and aircraft watch with reduced plates and bulletproof armor.

Yang Rui didn't know how many stories there were behind the dive bomber, but he knew that this was the core weapon of the blitzkrieg, and without the dive bomber, the tank would always be an infantry companion. He said to Major General Pan Shizhong and Li Ruyan beside him: "The dive bomber is good!" Although the bomb is not big. But as the power of the motor increases, the weight of the bomb can come up. In my experience, this model is actually a cannon. Because it can do the thing of artillery targeted killing, sixty kilograms of bombs. This is much heavier than a 150-mm cannon shell. However, I also have a suggestion, that is, all dive bombers in the future will have a kind of roaring sound when diving......"

"Howling?" Li Ruyan didn't understand a little, he was deeply afraid that the prime minister would guide the insider.

"Yes, the whistling must be sharp and terrifying, so that the enemy will be frightened at the first hearing of it." Yang Rui laughed inexplicably. "In the future, torpedo bombers can only be equipped with the Navy, and fighters and dive bombers, in addition to the Navy, are also needed by the 6 Army. This aerial artillery must be refined. Maximize your power. ”

"Xiaguan understands." Li Ruyan replied that he was a person who had never been on the battlefield, and he couldn't understand for a while that Yang Rui said that the fierce roar made the enemy tremble, but when this kind of dive bomber, which was called a 'powerful ghost', was widely feared by foreign enemies, he remembered the inexplicable cold smile on the face of today's prime minister.

When Yang Rui confessed that Li Ruyan imitated the sound of Stuka's whistle, the second stage of the drill had already begun, and this time they were all veteran pilots, all of whom had been baptized by data and hundreds of training sessions, seizing high positions, climbing, diving, grappling, rolling, spinning, and reversing in air combat. These things that Yang Rui saw from novels and movies were shown in front of his eyes one by one, and fortunately, the fighter at this time was light in weight and had high hardness in aluminum alloy, so the strength of the fuselage was poorer. Such a drastic movement was about to disintegrate the plane in the air.

At the end of the fighter drill, Yang Rui suddenly stood up and applauded, and others were surprised. He also applauded with excitement and joy. Yang Rui's applause was because he saw China's powerful air force in the future, and everyone applauded because the training results were fully praised by the prime minister. This was something they didn't expect. No matter how strong the fighter is, even if there is no opponent in the world. However, it was also useless to attack Japanese warships, and although the key torpedo bombers frequently concentrated on target ships during the exercise just now, they were only on reservoirs, and it was not so simple to hit target ships during sea training, especially when the torpedo attack just now, there were many torpedoes diving into the water, which made Pan Shizhong and other air force generals sweat in their hearts.

"I see that we are already at the forefront of the world!" After the applause stopped, Yang Rui began to speak, "This makes me very proud of you, but don't forget that the lead will only be temporary." We live in an era of technological explosion, aircraft performance is improving, materials science is changing with each passing day, and many situations are leading this year, mediocre next year, and falling behind the year after. What we are doing is actually an endless relay race, and if you want to win in the relay race, you need to improve the talent echelon: the pilots are abundant and good at fighting, the aircraft designers are experienced and can quickly respond to the enemy's new models, the air combat commander must be good at calculation and deployment, and the government and the Ministry of Industry, one will give you abundant financial support, and the other will give you a strong industrial base, only in this way can we finally win this relay race. Comrades, work hard, victory will definitely belong to us! ”

When he stood up and spoke, the officers and men of the Air Force sitting a little below could not see the look on his face at all, and only felt that there was a shadow with light there, and after the brief speech, the officers and men began to applaud when Major General Pan Shizhong and others who were standing near Yang Rui began to applaud, and the officers and soldiers applauded desperately.

On the way back to Yanzhou by boat, Yang Rui, who was affectionate and inexplicably excited, suddenly thought of the aircraft carrier being built in the United States, and asked Xu Huafeng: "How is that flat-topped ship built?" According to the efficiency of the Americans, this 10,000-ton ship should be launched. ”

"It's really going into the water." Xu Hua sealed. "The Americans wondered why we had built a ship like this, saying that it was a battleship with no cannons and no armor, and that it was a merchant ship with thirty knots. Actually, what the hell are you going to do with this ship? ”

"How?" Yang Rui laughed and said, but Xu Huafeng didn't know how to cooperate, and didn't ask 'Why did the Prime Minister laugh', he had to say stupidly: "What if you put all the planes we watched today on board?" ”

"Put it on the ship...... Xu Huafeng thought deeply, and suddenly said: "If the plane can really get on the ship, it would be great." But the ship is too small, how many aircraft bombs can be loaded with this 13,000 tons? Besides, it always takes a distance for this plane to take off, and a ship of 13,000 tons is only 170 meters long. ”

"Of course you can fly." Yang Rui smiled, "That's the reason for the Thirty Festival." Even if there is no wind, it can bring a relative degree of 54 kilometers to the aircraft when sailing at 30 knots, and the aircraft can generally take off more than 60 kilometers, so it does not need a long runway. The real difficulty is landing, the wind direction at sea is changeable, and if you want to land the plane safely within 100 meters, you must use a blocking cable. "I didn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, and I tossed for another day during the day, Yang Rui's body was extremely tired, but his spirit was flying." Mr. Hua Feng, the real yàn room and the Ministry of Industry are going to open a few more projects. The arresting cable for landing, the catapult for take-off, the elevator for lifting and lowering aircraft, the optical landing system, the information command system, the radar warning system, and ......"

Because he had paid attention to the first aircraft carrier Liaoning before, Yang Rui, the three knives of the navy, suddenly turned into the second knife of the aircraft carrier, and Xu Huafeng, who was bluffing, was stunned. At first, he was still surprised how Yang Rui could imagine so many things, and later as the description deepened, he felt that building an aircraft carrier was indeed a more difficult project than building a dreadnought, which not only involved shipbuilding, but also involved building aircraft, and the adaptation and management between the two, which made him listen to it with relish. After only a few hours of waiting, Yang Rui began to doze off, and the popular science course on aircraft carrier manufacturing was over.

Yawning, Yang Rui, who felt that he couldn't stand it for a long time, suddenly stopped and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Xu Huafeng, who was entering Hong Kong, said 'ah', and then said, "I'm afraid it's time." Then he took out his watch and looked at it, and exclaimed, "Ah, it's already ugly." It's done, let's sleep first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Dizzy, I didn't expect it to be five or six hours, Yang Rui was dizzy, his mind was cold, and he was going to sleep and remembered that the matter of the aircraft carrier had not been asked, so he said: "After talking for a long time, I still don't know what happened to the ship?" ”

"Oh. The ship, ah......" Xu Huafeng turned his thoughts to a few hours ago, and replied with a smile: "The ship has been launched, and now it is being outfitted, although we are very secret, but the appearance of the ship still attracted the attention of the US Navy, and they also frequently sent people to contact and visit us, wanting to know more about the ship, but this time they didn't treat us like they did to the submarine before, they just watched." ”

"Fence it out now?" Yang Rui was a little uneasy, but he also knew that such a strange ship would definitely attract the attention of others when it was outfitted, "What about the design and drawings, can the Americans imitate it?" ”

"Actually, didn't you say that this ship must be designed by ourselves?" Xu Huafeng was surprised and said, "Those people sent to study in the UK by the former Qing Dynasty still have real talents and real learning, Wang Pingxuan, Ye Zaifu, Ma Deji, Guo Xifen, Ba Yuzao, Wang Zhu, Zeng Yijing and others, these people have all been transferred to MIT under our arrangement, some of them continue to learn shipbuilding, and some ...... Like Ba Yuzao, Wang Zhu, Zeng Yijing, and Wang Xiaofeng, the four turned to aeronautical engineering. They were the ones who designed the ship. The drawings and everything are in our hands, and even if the Americans can copy them, they can't copy them all. ”

Yang Rui, the names of Ba Yuzao and Wang Zhu, was known, and he said strangely: "Now MIT actually has an aeronautical design major?" ”

"Yes, it was said to have just been opened. There were only six people in the entire department, two Americans, and the remaining four were them. Xu Hua sealed. This year, Tongji University also said that it would open this major, and it had already enrolled students in September......"

Xu Huafeng still wanted to mumble, but Yang Rui was sleepy, waved his hand into the house and fell asleep. (To be continued!)
