Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 210 Kill three birds with one stone

"You mean you have a weapon that can hit most of Germany from Eagle Island? A weapon that can carry a 1-ton warhead? Oh, no, it's unbelievable. It's so ridiculous that it's hard to believe you said it."

When General Shi heard the news about Dongfeng I-Generation Express, he couldn't believe it at all.

However, he was soon attracted by a stack of photos.

These are the on-site photos taken when the missile was launched, when it landed, and when it was flying in the air. These were all sent to the temporary capital by express horses.

The desert at the launch site, the grassland at the landing point, everything really showed that what he said was an irrefutable fact.

"General Shi, we never joke about serious matters." He said to General Shi seriously, "We are pragmatic and always keep our promises. General Shi, we never deceive our allies. We have fulfilled all our promises in the past two years, no matter how incredible they are."

"It's the same with this matter. General Shi has sent people to the scene to verify that we don't just have one round. Our second round will be tested soon."

Minor modifications are nothing more than adjusting local components. In today's world where most things are made by hand, Ren Zhong popularized the mechanized processing model at the Liming Research Institute, breaking the problem of the difficulty in implementing manual standardization. So when producing the first Dongfeng Express, Ren Zhong had people conduct a trial production of ten at a time. He could afford this waste.

So not only the second one, but even the third and fourth ones are not difficult.

Ren Zhong had already predicted the results and was not afraid of failure at all. Even if the first one failed, he was able to ask Professor Qian and others to analyze the results and immediately start the second test.

Compared to historical processes, this pattern is obviously much faster.

This is the benefit of having deep pockets.

Ren Zhong, who now has an exclusive monopoly on the penicillin business, not only made money domestically, but also traded more than a ton of penicillin with General Shi and his men!
A full ton of gold (US dollars) was exchanged for it!
Because General Shi had seen this miraculous anti-inflammatory medicine in Kuncheng and the secondary capital.

So I specially commissioned Office 8 to order one ton!
For the rogue eagles fighting bloody battles in the South Pacific and the Pacific, this ton of penicillin saved a lot of lives.

"In this case, I think it is very necessary for me to go to the border area in person." General Shi thought about it and finally couldn't resist the temptation and prepared to go and see this miracle in person.

When the C-47 landed at the temporary airport in the border area, General Shi suddenly discovered a fact, that is, the airport in the border area had unknowingly expanded by more than twice compared to the last time he came!

Suddenly, an ominous feeling arose in my heart.

He shook his head, got off the plane, and walked quickly to the staff officer who came to greet him.

"General Shi, welcome to visit the border area again." He said with a smile, "I hope you will have a pleasant trip to the border area next time."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye. I think there is no need for us to waste time. Let's go directly to the test site."

General Shi said impatiently.

"No problem, General Shi, please!" He had long been accustomed to the other party's working style, and without being polite, he directly invited General Shi to get on the Red Star F1 pickup truck produced by the border area.

This is the most impressive car in the border area now.

General Shi took a look at the familiar car model, with a look of doubt on his face, but said nothing.

This area is a place that is good at creating miracles. It seems that the technology and factory equipment that have been taken from him are now fully put into use. This efficiency is something he can't see in the secondary capital.

Therefore, General Shi obviously has a better impression of the border area than the accompanying ones.

After all, they are the ones who really do business.

Now, even cars can be produced. This industrial progress cannot be said to be great, it can only be said to be a miracle!

The speed of the Red Star F1 is not very fast, probably just over 50 kilometers per hour, which is already very fast on a dirt road.

Thanks to the fact that this kilometer-long road has been in use for a long time and is also one of the main routes to the north, it is one of the best-built main highways.

In less than 3 hours, General Shi arrived at his destination.

This is another place for experimentation.

It is more than 20 kilometers away from Houyi Base.

After all, the current Houyi base is a top-secret place.

Of course we can't let General Shi know. This is a big desert anyway. There is plenty of space. As long as we build the road, we can find a place to conduct the experiment.

After all, there are not many local requirements for weapon test-firing experiments. All you need to do is to have roads available to transport the rockets to the destination, and then put up a rack and assemble the rockets.

It had been more than ten days since Ren Zhong received the news, so naturally he had plenty of time to handle all of this.

So, when General Shi arrived at his destination, he saw a huge cylinder standing in front of him, which was almost exactly the same as the one in the photo he had seen!
"Oh! Cake seller!" The first sentence General Shi said after getting off the car revealed his true reaction at the moment.

This big gun is not easy to deal with. Among weapons, the big one is the truth.

So when he saw how thick it was, General Shi basically believed it.

"Welcome General Shi! I'm the person in charge of the test base, Jiang Chunwang. General Shi can let us know if you have any needs. We will do our best to solve all your problems." General Shi was greeted by Jiang Chunwang, the person in charge of the test base and an important researcher of the 101 project. Well-known figures like Professor Qian and Ren Zhong would not appear in the eyes of outsiders now.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, if there are no problems, let's get ready to start the experiment." General Shi didn't want to waste time. After all, he was now the chief of staff of a war zone. Even though his power had been largely hollowed out, he still had a lot of things to do.

If this matter was not of great importance, I would not have come here to witness it in person.

"Wait, since your current test load is a counterweight that won't explode, I'll write down a few sets of numbers and put them in. Then when it lands, please send the numbers to me immediately after the monitoring personnel at the landing site find it."

Before the rocket was launched, General Shi quickly stepped forward and asked for a different verification method.

There really is nothing better than this kind of confirmation.

Now all the tests here are ready, and there is no way to temporarily change personnel and venues. General Shi wants to see how long it will take for this thing to be transmitted back.

Based on his visual estimation of the rocket's speed after takeoff and the landing time, the approximate range can be confirmed by calculating the two.

"General Shi, I must explain in advance that our test target point is 450 kilometers away from us. That's because the test point is only that far away. In fact, our theoretical range is 650 kilometers, so the return information received is probably about 4 to 5 minutes." Jiang Chunwang understood General Shi's intention, but he was not afraid of the test.

More than 20 days have passed since the last launch, and all necessary adjustments have been made. The only difference is that the range of the launch vehicle cannot be expanded too far.

"It doesn't matter. For me, 450km and 650km are the same. I need to see the real performance."

General Shi waved his hand and said.

"can we start?"

"No problem, General Shi, we can start anytime!" Jiang Chunwang said.

"Order operator, prepare to ignite!"

"Countdown to launch!"

"10"

"9"

"8"

"ignition!"

As the countdown ended, the operator immediately pressed a button, and a flame suddenly emerged from the bottom line of the rocket. Then the huge rocket left the bracket and began to fly towards the blue sky. Soon, it soared into the sky with a long flame and continued to accelerate towards the distance.

Fly straight towards the north.

When General Shi saw the momentum of the take-off, he realized that it was indeed the first time in his life. He flew straight into the sky, and his speed was getting faster and faster. It was not like a cannon, where the speed of a shell would decrease after being fired.

He took out a telescope and observed the taking-off rocket for a long time. Only when he could no longer see any trace of it in his field of vision did General Shi put down the telescope.

Waiting for the target location to send back the results for verification.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, more than 4 minutes had passed. The target location immediately received the "gift" sent by General Shi. After getting the number, they immediately telegraphed the received number.

Sure enough, the numbers were exactly the same as on the backup list that General Shi wrote down himself and handed to Staff Officer Ye.

"Oh, incredible, you really did it!" General Shi exclaimed in amazement when he received the telegram code written on the payload warhead by himself.

"Tell me, we need at least 100 rockets of this kind. If possible, tell us the production method. US dollars, gold, or something else we can exchange for it." General Shi was already familiar with the routines in the border area, so he spoke directly.

I just hope that the people in the border area won’t ask for too much and make things difficult for me.

"General Shi, we are allies. Logically, there should be no problem in giving this thing to you, but we do have great difficulties. How about this? We can use this kind of rocket, 5 for a P51D Mustang fighter, 100 for 20 Mustang fighters. It will be very beneficial to protect the sky of our border area, and it can also help us better hold back the Japanese invaders in North China." Staff Officer Ye listed the prices that had been negotiated long ago.

"If you want production process design, that's not impossible. Just give us the production process design for the C-47 transport aircraft plus five transport aircraft. We will never embarrass our friends!"

Staff Officer Ye said lightly.

"Our weapon can deliver a ton of explosives to the German III's head without the need for a pilot. It is much cheaper than a fighter plane and has a high speed, so it won't be blocked by their air defense weapons. At the same time, you won't suffer any casualties. It really kills three birds with one stone!"
