Bai Shujie deliberately used the Angry Dragon heavy long-range transport plane to send Wainwright and the others back to Australia, originally preparing to make good use of it and give full play to the residual heat.

For this "residual heat operation", Bai Shujie asked the aircraft assembly plant, which had just resumed production, to temporarily modify a transport plane to make it as luxurious as possible.

After the modification of this transport plane, there are three major differences with Bai Shujie's current "Air Force One":

The first was the replacement of four engines, using the first turbofan engine that the Munn group had planned to upgrade the B-17.

The purpose is to increase the carrying capacity of the B-17 from 8 tons to about 15 tons, and the practical ceiling from 9,500 meters to 12,000 meters.

At that time, a total of 320 "Raging Dragon I" turbofan engines were produced, but later after more Jewish experts escaped death from Germany and came to Pyongyang, they first comprehensively expounded the latest technological research results of the German "Manhattan Laboratory", and then put forward suggestions for improving the "Raging Dragon I" turbofan engine, that is, the final finalized Raging Dragon II heavy bomber.

The 320 "Nulong I" turbofan engines that have been produced have suddenly been downgraded from top treasures to chicken ribs, but they have not been abandoned. This time a buyer was finally found, and Bai Shujie and the Munn team were of course happy.

The second is to remove the latest autopilot and restore the operating system of the B-17, but with slight improvements. At the same time, the passive radar warning system was removed and replaced with active radar scanning.

The third is that the weapon has returned to the 23mm cannon, which is an upgrade from the B-17's 13mm machine gun. The belly armor has been increased, which is able to withstand the blows of 20mm guns.

What MacArthur saw was such a "restored" long-range transport aircraft. The maximum level flight speed is 980 km, the cruising speed at an altitude of 6,000 meters is 758 km, the ultimate transfer range is 12,500 km, and the combat radius is 4,800 km.

This combat radius is just not enough to directly attack the Japanese mainland from Australia. If MacArthur wants to teach the little devils a thorough lesson, he still has to fight island by island to gain a closer foothold.

Bai Shujie made this decision mainly because the Americans have spent a lot of money and energy on the basis of the B-24 to verify the B-29 bomber, which is the famous "Super Flying Fortress". The B-29 is undergoing finalized test flights and belongs to one of the most top-secret Air Force projects of the Americans.

It's a pity that Bai Shujie knows the development process of the Americans well, and although the Angry Dragon bomber has taken two big steps back, it just completely suppresses the B-24 and B-29.

According to the character of the Americans, as long as the Raging Dragon bomber is in the hands of MacArthur, the B-29, the "Super Flying Fortress" project, will be completely abolished.

If they want to completely suppress Bai Shujie's Angry Dragon bomber series, at least they should be able to compete, and the Americans must start again and reorganize the B-52 in advance.

However, in order to make the B-52 in this era, all the technology had to be started from scratch, which required a lot of money and human resources to concentrate many technical systems.

Let the Americans spend their lives on the arms race, and have no time to take into account the balanced development of other aspects, this is Bai Shujie's real idea.

Of course, if the Americans feel that the war is tense and it is impossible to confront the little Japanese devils from scratch, then they have to pay for it, and Bai Shujie naturally has no opinion.

Exchanging warships for planes is Bai Shujie's most basic idea, and it is also a top priority at present. At first, he thought that after the seizure of the Philippine Islands and the Brahman Islands, there would be a lot of high-quality steel available.

As a result, a thorough inventory of the family has now revealed that the current production capacity can only provide combat vehicles, aircraft, and guns. If three more aircraft carrier formations are added to the warships, all the steel will be consumed, and it will be bankrupt ahead of schedule.

was in a hurry to leave the Korean Peninsula because Bai Shujie was messing around there, and he had already ruined the family wealth that the little devil had worked hard to accumulate for 30 years. If he didn't open up a new plundering base, Bai Shujie would have to wait for death.

Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment.

Bai Shujie and the experts of the research institute, while studying nuclear reactors, have begun to plan the possibility of using nuclear power.

Therefore, "high-quality carbon steel", "manganese-nickel alloy steel", "chromium-nickel alloy steel", and "molybdenum-nickel alloy steel" are being studied, and preparations are being made to manufacture the second, third, and fourth heavy cruisers of the "founding class".

Among them, when the "high-quality carbon steel" was in Pyongyang, Bai Shujie set up a comprehensive research institute at the same time, and gave a top-secret task to the materials research laboratory, that is, to develop "high-quality carbon steel" as much as possible, and later 30,000 tons were reserved.

At the beginning, all the experts were not completely clear about Bai Shujie's true intentions. When the theoretical preparation of the "Qianlong Project" -- that is, Bai Shujie's atomic bomb project -- was completely completed, the experts knew what the "high-quality carbon steel" was for.

It turned out that as soon as the theoretical preparation of the atomic bomb was over, the first problem was the need to build a "nuclear reactor".

The purpose of the nuclear reactor is to collect plutonium-239, the most critical part of the atomic bomb, on the one hand, and to measure the fission efficiency and the controllable principle of the chain reaction on the other. However, to build a nuclear reactor, a "moderator" and a coolant are needed.

Bai Shujie is not a sophisticated physicist, and he does not know what nuclear reactors and atomic bombs are all about.

The only thing he is better than an expert is that he knows what is needed for each step, which is why he has become a "supreme genius" in the eyes of Jewish experts.

In order to ensure that his "Qianlong Plan" is foolproof, Bai Shujie proposed two kinds of decelerators for his nuclear reactor: the first is heavy water, that is, "deuterium oxide D2O"; The second kind of reducer is pure graphite sheet, and it is a graphite sheet with a length of 3 meters and a width of 0.6 meters.

In other words, Bai Shujie's initial plan was to build two nuclear reactors at the same time: a heavy water reactor and a graphite reactor.

To produce heavy water, Bai Shujie knows the electrolysis method, the exchange method, and also knows that the exchange method can obtain a purer "heavy water" (heavy water, that is, the specific gravity of ordinary water dà11%, so it is called "heavy water").

The exchange method is divided into "water-hydrogen sulfide exchange method" and "ammonia-hydrogen exchange method".

Among them, the "water-hydrogen sulfide exchange method" requires an exchange tower made of high-quality carbon steel. With a diameter of 6 to 9 meters, the tower is able to withstand pressures greater than 2 megapascals and operate normally under severe corrosion.

For his "Qianlong Plan", Bai Shujie is most concerned.

Because the Americans' "Manhattan Project" is also in full swing, and it will certainly be successfully tested on December 2, 1942, thus opening the door to controlled nuclear fission and paving the way for the United States to build an atomic bomb.

Bai Shujie put heavy water reactors first, mainly because heavy water reactors do not need to use enriched uranium to waste resources, and can directly use ordinary uranium. At the same time, the heavy water reactor will convert uranium-238 into plutonium, which can be used to make a nuclear bomb, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

There is no doubt that anyone who can build a heavy water reactor means that he has been able to produce an atomic bomb.

In the same way, whoever builds a heavy water plant is definitely not to "use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes", but to develop nuclear weapons.

Because of this, countries such as Pakistan, North Korea, Israel, India, and Little Japan were not allowed to produce heavy water.

You say you want to use nuclear energy peacefully, then you can use graphite reactors. If you don't have graphite, I'll supply you, and even help you build a nuclear power plant - that's how the Americans did with North Korea.

Now no one knows what a heavy water factory is, let alone what Bai Shujie's "tap water processing plant" wants to produce.

The benefits of dictatorship are expressed in two ways:

The first is that because there is no need to hold a bullshit coordination meeting, the people who know about this matter are limited to a very small circle, and absolute confidentiality can be achieved;

The second is that it does not need the consent of others, nor does it need to be argued by others, and can mobilize limited resources as much as possible to do things that others think cannot be done. In this way, it is guaranteed that the plan is implemented as scheduled, and that things are done strictly according to their own will, and no one dares to be slow.

As soon as Bai Shujie gave the order, a steelmaking plant specialized in the production of high-grade carbon steel, and a steelmaking mill specialized in the production of alloy steel, and there was no need to pursue output, purely the pursuit of quality.

A graphite production plant specializes in the production of graphite flakes, and is also concerned with quality rather than output. This is a raw material that will be necessary for the manufacture of nuclear power in the future, and it is necessary to accumulate experience and finished products now.

The so-called great man of later generations said nonsense, "Since it is cheaper to buy other people's things than to develop them yourself, then you don't need to develop them, and you can directly buy finished products!" ”

As a result, the "X 10" large aircraft project was forced to be discontinued, and then paid for other people's things.

As a result, when a certain country wants to develop airborne early warning aircraft, aerial tankers, and heavy transport aircraft for long-range troop delivery, others will not sell you the engine at all!

When they found out that the situation was not right, and then went back to develop a large aircraft from scratch, they found that two generations had been wasted, and they could not even reach the previous level.

Because the "X X" large aircraft has flown over the Himalayas many times 30 years ago.

And now trillions of yuan have been invested, and the result is still nothing.

If you want to talk about waste, this time it will be wasted to heaven.

Not only is money and time wasted, but the fate of the country is directly wasted.

In terms of engines, a certain country has lagged behind the United States by 15 years in the 60s of the last century and widened the gap between it and 50 years behind in the 21st century.

It has been proven by history that a certain great man committed an unforgivable sin against the scientific and technological development of a certain country.

What do you do with the money you make? The first is to fatten all his offspring and then run away abroad. At the same time, it fed a large number of corrupt elements, so that they "a few people get rich first".

In the end, he had a little money left, and he specially bought the national bonds of the American devils, and regarded the economic crisis of the American devils as stricter than his parents.

It's not okay not to buy it, because your offspring are all adding to the groove under the ass of the American devils.

Bai Shujie will never allow such a thing to happen, so he wants to eliminate a qiē interference, make his "Hidden Dragon Plan" a successful completion, and completely suppress the American devils.

As for whether it is a waste of resources and a lot of money, Bai Shujie doesn't need to explain at all, just one sentence: "Lao Tzu likes it, do you know?" Shut up, it's hard to buy what Lao Tzu likes! ”

It is precisely because of the implementation of this strategic plan that the Comprehensive Research Institute has organized special personnel to develop its own submarines, that is, real strategic submarines, as the real ghosts of future maritime formations, it is simply impossible to mass-produce steel for ordinary ships.

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