Chapter 165 Try Our Bomber

On April 4th, the battle ahead was in full swing, and the government representatives who sent orders and secretly negotiated with the Japanese army were unable to make a decision. The Japanese representatives were very dissatisfied and walked away. Many troops waiting for the end of the negotiations were caught off guard

Among them is Shang Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Army.

For the Japanese army, he has always had a fluke mentality, thinking that it is almost enough. After the Japanese army was unable to attack for a long time in early April and was a little weak, he would of course obey any orders. The troops stayed where they were, and the fortifications were still in the special forces. The traces built before were hastily repaired, even though so many explosives were transported up, they were not willing to use them, and they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them. They harassed at night and let the Japanese army come back every time they had a rest. The result was that the frontline troops were exhausted. On the verge of collapse.

But this time the Japanese army suddenly launched a frenzied attack. Lengkou, which was the key point of breakthrough, was opened several lines of defense in a row. The Japanese forwards once killed Liujiakou and Baiyangyu, only one step away from the Jianchang camp, all relying on the frontline troops to fight back desperately , Paid huge casualties to barely hold on.

Shang Zhen was so frightened that he quickly used all the artillery fire to bombard him, and finally regained the lost ground and stalled the Japanese offensive again.

After Zhu Bin found out the details through the contact group, he had nothing to say but to sigh, these people were completely hopeless.I was so breathless, I just found an excuse to go back to Peiping, and quietly flew back to Shanghai.

When they arrived at the aircraft factory, Wang Zhu was taken aback when he saw it, and asked anxiously, "Why did you come back? The war is so tense. As the chief officer, you leave your post without permission. Be careful that you will be accused of running away. Go back quickly."

Zhu Bin waved his hand in annoyance: "Don't mention that I'm uncomfortable for them to hang out and look aggrieved. Why don't you come back and find something new to relieve boredom. How about it? Are you ready to go to the United States to participate in the World Expo?"

Wang Zhu was worried, so he asked about the situation first, and sighed, "Forget it, I've seen through the faces of those people over the years, so I won't mention him. Most of the products that went to Chicago to participate in the conference are good. It is waiting for you to come back to discuss whether it is appropriate to take it out."

In July last year, it was decided to participate in the World Expo. Zhu Bin was entrusted with the heavy responsibility to produce some technological products that can be admired by all Western countries. Naturally, the Sea Decoration Institute was duty-bound, and the aircraft factory received several tasks.

The old products that have already shown their faces in Shanghai and made a mess of Boeing are no longer good. There must be something new.

Wang Zhu and the older generation of aircraft designers were divided into several groups. He personally took charge of the chief executive and was in charge of Zhu Bin’s secret aircraft; Wang Xiaofeng was in charge of twin-engine transport planes and passenger planes; I was transferred to be the supervisor of Hangzhou Central Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, and I ran back and forth part-time for a reconnaissance aircraft project.

In the past year, with sufficient funds and equipment support, the entire aircraft factory has produced a lot of achievements, two types of amphibious aircraft, four types of seaplanes, three types based on x211, and dc-1 as the model In addition, there are many experimental Zhu Bin who did not intervene randomly, so the progress is a bit slower.

Wang Zhu made the list, and said excitedly: "Look, in addition to the enhanced DC-21 new aircraft, which can increase the passenger capacity to 2000 and has a range of 2 kilometers, we also have a special The small airliner developed by the rich uses the mature r-1830-1 engine, streamlined all-metal fuselage, fully enclosed cabin and cooling and heating system, can reach a maximum speed of 420 kilometers and a maximum range of 2550 kilometers. There must be a market, but it is the best The most important ones are the several engines and aircraft you designed.”

Zhu Bin first took a look at the small plane. It is shorter and shorter than the DC-1, but its lines are more beautiful. It has a tapered and inclined nose, a smooth fuselage, and a sky blue painting. It is very elegant and very suitable for bosses The flying mount, good

Let’s look at several products that Wang Zhu focused on. One is an enhanced version of the r-1820-cw turbocharged engine with an ultra-pure iron-chromium alloy and a pure aluminum casing. It can provide a normal power of 1100 horsepower, but it will explode after using methane. Increased to 1800 horsepower or even higher.The second is a hybrid version that integrates the r-1830 double wasp type, that is, the version used by "Dark Arrow", but it is made of ordinary aviation materials. It can reach 2000 horsepower when burning high-grade gasoline, and more than 3600 horsepower when using methane. will die quickly.This number is r-1933-1, which is different from the two products.

Zhu Bin rubbed his chin and thought about it, but he still rejected the idea of ​​taking it out.After all, the two American products are enough now, and I am also in the honeymoon period of cooperating with them. If I rush to produce more than their core products, the Yankees will definitely tear my face. There is no need, just make a fortune in silence.

Wang Zhu also thinks this is the case. It is the best policy to keep a low profile. If you have a little bit of wealth, you will let it out in a hurry.

Then there's the plane.To say that their group of aircraft designers are really not covered, with the support of engines, the development capabilities have increased rapidly, and the displayed ones include single-engine two-seater bombers, twin-engine single-seat attack aircraft, twin-engine two-seater bombers, and A twin-engine reconnaissance plane, an experimental four-engine large transport plane, and a special high-speed reconnaissance plane that stunned Zhu Bin

He directly skipped the first three, which are basically the deformed products of x211 and dc-1. The key point is that the latter two are four-engine large transport aircraft code-named "Tianfeng", which use four r-1820-cw engines and have a wingspan of 6.53 meters. , the length of the aircraft is 14800 meters, the wing area is 25800 square meters, the empty weight is 429 kilograms, the maximum take-off weight is 358 kilograms, the maximum level flight speed is 8200 kilometers, the cruising speed is 4550 kilometers, the ceiling is 42 meters, and the flight range is [-] kilometers. km, with a capacity of [-] passengers.

The shape of this aircraft is obviously the result of combining the products of Boeing and Douglas, especially the front half is completely like an airship, the slender fuselage is gracefully folded at the rear, and the huge straight monoplane Curved up and up naturally, it looks beautiful when you look at it

Zhu Bin doesn't know much, but he knows a principle, as long as the flying object is well designed, it must look beautiful. The length and height of this aircraft are not much higher than the old version of DC-1, but it is more beautiful and more aggressive.

"Old Wang, will this work? Have you tested it?" Zhu Bin was a little excited. This thing is very useful. It is convenient for commercial and military use. The key is that it is not strong enough to stimulate foreigners. After all, everything has a foundation. The design ability of Wang Zhu and his group is unmatched in the world.

Wang Zhu was very proud and said with a smile: "It should be no problem. The full-scale model has been made, and the scale model has already been taken by your little buddy Liu Banxia, ​​and passed to your gd laboratory for testing. The data is still brought by him. here."

Zhu Bin felt relieved.For a long time, it was Wang who helped them design? Grub 』Pomelo garden 欤菥Eight gauntlet YoukebeiguanShaQudhuo Ci flute jacaranda toad鍪net?br>

It seems cumbersome to do this, but it is much better than other aircraft factories in this era. Like Douglas and Boeing, when designing an aircraft, it is necessary to repeatedly calculate, make a model, and then evaluate it according to various professional standards such as aerodynamics. Judgment, because the wind tunnel is too primitive, and there are few evaluations of various airflow velocities and changes, so whether the aircraft will work or not depends first on professional knowledge, second on feeling, and finally depends on continuous test flight after the prototype is built , often the design flaws in the early stage are too big, and if you can’t fix it no matter what, then all previous efforts will be wasted. In this regard, Douglas has experience, Curtiss has experience, and Boeing has experience.

For Zhu Bin, this problem does not exist here. If the aircraft is working, you will know after the model is blown. At least there will be no problem with the aerodynamic layout. If the material is good, you will know after scanning and analyzing the sample in the machining center. It's more than ten times faster

"Okay, we are finally the first to manufacture a large plane that can truly travel around the world haha, let foreigners open their eyes, this must be taken out"

Traveling around the world in flying objects has always been a challenge. The last success was American pilot Charles Lindbergh flying the "Spirit of St. Louis" across the Atlantic Ocean in 33 hours and 30 minutes without landing, setting a new world record.

But this is only used as an aircraft, without safety or guarantee, and has no real economic value.

Flying around the world needs to cross several obstacles, among which the vast Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean are the largest.The nearly 4000 kilometers from the west coast of the United States to the Hawaiian Islands, the more than 6000 kilometers from Hawaii to Japan, and the nearly 6000 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean are boundaries. not enough.

The "Tianfeng" is different. The theoretical range of 4550 kilometers still has great potential to be tapped. One is to replace the engine with a higher power, and the other is to reduce the carrying capacity. But as long as this data increases, it can easily fly from San Francisco. To Honolulu, Hawaii, via Midway Island to Tokyo or Wake Island, Guam, then to China, the Philippines, around South Asia, West Asia, Europe, and then fly from the Azores to the east coast of the United States

This is a serious round-the-world route! Think about it, traveling around the world in 24 hours will no longer be a dream. How many people will be crazy about it? Time and speed are money! fight with

You must make a blockbuster in Chicago in front of the whole world, and see how powerful your foreigners' inventions can be in the hands of Chinese people

After deciding on this one, and looking at the other one, Zhu Bin was indeed a little dumbfounded. Without a reference point, it is impossible for him to create a brand new good model with his level of two knives. In the hand, the old hen immediately turned into a phoenix

Wang Zhu couldn't hide his pride, and explained to him: "This is inspired by your 'back arrow'. Don't you want to pursue the highest speed and range? I thought, why not make the plane bigger ?The fuel capacity increases, and the voyage will inevitably increase.”

This is an improved twin-engine model compared with the "Dark Arrow". The fuselage has been lengthened to 4.36 meters, the wingspan has reached 8220 meters, and the height has increased to 18500 meters. The tail is slightly raised, and the whole body is pitch black.The empty weight of the aircraft is 1933 kg, and the maximum take-off weight is as high as 1 kg. It uses two r-4000-7200 engines with a basic power of 1 horsepower, and an astonishing [-] horsepower with methane, plus four sets of superconducting magnetic fluid behind the engine. Stimulator, which can provide up to a terrifying [-] horsepower

Such a monster can easily reach a speed of up to 550 kilometers per hour, and can fly at full speed up to 950 kilometers. If it is loaded with a total of 8 tons of gasoline, it can fly 8000 kilometers. If it is replaced with methane and flies at cruising speed, it can reach 18800 kilometers and almost circle the earth. Half a lap and the ceiling is approaching 1 meters

Zhu Bin is so happy, this is what I want! With the speed and range, it can carry at least six people on board. If you add a few tons of weapons or electronic equipment, it will simply not fall into the air. platform

Wang Zhu is happy. This aircraft can be regarded as the brainchild of a group of their veteran designers, and it is reliable and feasible.They have calculated that even without the special materials and power provided by Zhu Bin, with normal engine, airframe materials and gasoline, this aircraft can still have at least half the performance, that is to say, it can guarantee at least 8000 kilometers. With a range and a ceiling of [-] meters, it is no problem to be used as a reconnaissance aircraft

Zhu Bin patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "Old Wang, I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for having this guy, it's much more convenient."

Wang Zhu was also modest: "Without the conditions you provided, we can only stare blankly, and we will not achieve results so quickly. However, if you really want to create, you have to dismantle the 'back arrow', are you willing?"

Zhu Bin waved his hand: "Why don't you disassemble it and keep it? I built the high-strength frame by myself in sections. I will handle the welding. I will arrange the manufacture of the skin engine. The rest is up to you."

"Leave it to me," Wang Zhu assured with a pat on his chest. They, a group of designers who started out by screwing screws, wrenches and playing with machine tools, can basically do decathlon. "In addition, I got some inspiration when designing this aircraft. I made a light bomber with two engines and two seats. A prototype has also been produced. Can you check it?"

It is an airframe similar in shape to the new "Dark Arrow", with slightly smaller length and wingspan. It uses two r-1820-cw engines, with an empty weight of 5800 kg, a maximum take-off weight of 10200 kg, and a maximum level flight speed of 430 km/h. The range is 8300 meters, the range is 2880 kilometers, and the bomb load is 2 tons.

With a series of guidance from Zhu Bin, the aircraft is well-proportioned and streamlined, with extremely low wind resistance. It can be equipped with four advanced 20mm cannons, two of which rotate backwards, and the bottom can be set downwards if necessary.

Said to be a gatekeeper, Zhu Bin was a little self-aware, the Great Master Wang was better than him, he praised him very modestly, then blinked and asked: "I am Lao Wang, I remember meeting at the beginning of last year, I said, create After we can fly Japanese planes, we will avenge Bayuzao."

Mentioning this, Wang Zhu's eyeballs became bloodshot, and "Gaba" cracked his finger bones: "I thought about it all night long, and I never forgot why, are you planning to...?"

Zhu Bin pointed out that the new aircraft hadn't even been painted: "Since you have already built it, you can't actually verify how the performance is? I will be a pilot, and the two of us will fly to Japan to throw something on the little devil's head." "

"Is this okay...?" Wang Zhu hesitated for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh, "Go and let the Japanese devils kill and set fire on our soil, why not allow me to fight back? I don't care about restraint."

Zhu Bin patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "That's right, you hurry up and get ready, let's set off at night, fuck the fuck" That's my biggest motivation.)
