Chapter 98: Low-key

If it is not for hundreds of skilled workers armed by Chris with the magic ball of knowledge, if it is not for Chris to have a complete production process and design drawings, if it is not for him, he can go to the field to solve the technical difficulties in person, Lanhill It is estimated that it will take more than ten years for the fighter jets to go to the sky.

I don't need it now, because I don't need to fly like the Wright brothers, and I don't need to tire of designing triplanes and biplanes. Lanhill started mass production of single-wing WWII fighter jets in one step, directly completing the leap-forward development.

Because of the existence of the magic ball of knowledge and the golden finger of Chris's technology tree, the industrial civilization has developed an anti-sky spectacle in which airplanes and automobiles have developed together and have entered the practical stage almost simultaneously.

While the car is being tested, the first fighter jet equipped with an engine is also undergoing methodical experiments.

Chris continued to choose among many classic fighters of World War II. In the end, because of technical constraints, Chris focused his attention on the production line. He needs to produce the most fighters in a short period of time, so production speed and simplicity have become the primary considerations.

In other words, in order to be able to produce a sufficient number of fighter jets simply and quickly, he can sacrifice some fighter capabilities or make some compromises in use.

After making a choice, the Messerschmitt me-109 fighter became an option that met his selection criteria very well.

Although the Spitfire has the same or even better performance than the me-109 fighter, its production requirements are higher, so Chris gave up this famous British fighter.

Although the p-51 Mustang fighter can be very superior and has a very high range, but its technical requirements are higher, so Chris decided to choose the second-generation piston engine fighter and consider this American pinnacle piston fighter.

Since the Mustang p-51 fighter is placed in the future, there are not many advanced fighters left to choose from. Although the fw-190 fighter can be equally outstanding, it is as easy to manufacture as the Spitfire, not as easy as the me-109 fighter.

Another one that meets Chris’s requirements is Ben’s Zero fighter during World War II. The engine of this fighter is very simple and easy to produce. At the same time, it is also the pinnacle of aircraft production in this workshop: it is in line with the current production conditions of Lanhill's workshop, which makes Chris very excited.

But what restricts Chris’s choice is the production model: Although the zero-type fighter requires very low production conditions, it also lacks the production technical support of a large-scale production line.

This can be easily seen from the total amount of aircraft production. The surprise is that Germany has produced more than 35,000 me-109 fighters under the harsh conditions of the bombing, which is enough to prove the strong production capacity of this fighter's production line. .

Under the same conditions, only 10,000 zero fighters were produced. This is the huge gap in production speed between the two sides. In the history of mankind, Messerschmitt has focused its attention on increasing the speed of production before winning orders from the military and defeating its competitors.

Therefore, in the eyes of Chris, who also needs production speed, the Messmit me-109 fighter, which is easy to produce and has a passable improvement potential, is a very suitable choice.

Of course, the me-109 fighter jet is not without its shortcomings. Its awkward landing gear design will cause trouble for novice pilot training. But Chris feels that such shortcomings can be overcome through training. Now Lanhill's biggest headache is not personnel training, but the low production capacity in military production!

"The new fighter will use the me-109, the next generation will use the p-51, and then the MiG-15!" Chris was thinking about the future development path of the Air Force aircraft.

There has never been a country that can put together all the advanced weapons in human civilization so defying the sky. The path Chris is taking is an exciting and mixed development path.

Starting with German fighters, fighting the world with American fighters, using Soviet fighters to connect the past and the future, and finally developed into a powerful third-generation aircraft of the United States, no country dared to develop through this way, but Chris knew that he could!

As for this fighter... With better German fighters and American fighters, who would even consider the ones that leaked? Chris doesn't care about the huge range of the Zero fighter. When he needs the range, the p-51 fighter with longer range and stronger combat effectiveness will be a better choice.

Using the Magic Ball of Knowledge, he can replicate and train a large number of pilots. As long as a Marseiu is born in his army, millions of Marseiu can be born within a few days; as long as a Hartman is born in his pilot, You can copy a Hartman United team, or a Hartman Air Force!

Even if this kind of copying is only theoretical, but through this kind of copying, his Air Force pilots will grow rapidly, allowing almost everyone to skip the novice stage and become a veteran who can do their own tasks.

The most annoying training link in the Air Force can be accelerated by the Magic Ball of Knowledge, which allows Chris to build the Air Force ten times faster. With the increase of experienced pilots, this expansion speed can even be ten times faster!

The novice pilots trained on gliders spread their training results to other novice pilots in a blink of an eye. Within ten days, the number of pilots in Lanhill has increased to the level of hundreds.

At the beginning, everyone was worried that the insufficient number of pilots would affect the construction of the Air Force, but now everyone is beginning to worry that the production speed of aircraft cannot keep up with the training speed of pilots.

Choosing me-109 is not just a matter of choosing casually. The choice of weapons is a must. German aircraft look good, but German aviation weapons are not very reliable.

Of course, it is impossible for Chris to let his pilot fly a fighter jet and use 7.92mm bullets to fight the dragon. So what he prepared for the me-109 fighter was a larger-caliber 20mm cannon.

Although the trajectory of the aircraft cannon is worse than that of the machine gun, the two are completely different in damage ability. Lanhill's air combat needs, similar to those of Germany and Ben in World War II, are to face volleys against heavy air targets.

Obviously, a large-caliber cannon like the 30mm caliber is more effective against targets like the dragon. And when the anti-aircraft artillery was put into production, Chris also considered the design of the subsequent aerial cannon, so he directly adopted the 30mm caliber aerial cannon, at least in part of the production process, maintaining the commonality.

However, in subsequent experiments, a series of problems were exposed: because the me-109 fighter was not large, the installation of a 30-mm cannon was obviously a bit cramped. Moreover, the recoil force of the 30mm cannon is also very serious, which makes the me-109 fighters with small boards somewhat inadequate.

Moreover, the number of ammunition carried is really too small. The same 20 mm caliber me-109 cannon carries about 70 rounds, and it will be reduced to about 50 when it is replaced with a 30 mm caliber cannon.

Although 50 shells are enough to damage the dragon, Chris still hopes that his air force can fight in the sky for a longer time after one takeoff. In addition, the 30 mm caliber anti-aircraft artillery is actually a bit overpowered in actual combat. Experiments with the dragon corpse have confirmed that the 30 mm caliber anti-aircraft gun is a bit of an overkill to attack the dragon.

Therefore, Chris and Desaier intend to adjust the production line in the future to produce 20mm caliber anti-aircraft guns and machine guns to increase the efficiency of the use of steel. After all, a 20-millimeter-caliber artillery saves more steel, whether it is gun or ammunition.

After saving steel, the anti-aircraft artillery can be multi-mounted to increase its firepower density. The dual 20mm caliber antiaircraft gun has been designed, and the experimental results show that it is more powerful and powerful than the predecessor single 30mm caliber antiaircraft gun.

On the other hand, Chris does not think that the maneuvering of the dragon needs to be restrained by a biplane that circulates better in World War I. Air combat, to put it simply, is a competition of ten fights.

In the face of absolute speed advantage, all the fancy maneuvers are no longer so easy to use: the reason that the monoplane finally eliminated all the old biplanes is here.

Although the dragon is better at low altitude, it can even take off and land vertically and hover in mid-air. However, the flying speed of these giant dragons is incomparable to that of a monoplane. Chris believes that flying energy such as turning radius can be solved by speed.

Because of the air cannon, Lanhill's air force also has an absolute advantage in attack distance. They can fire up to 300 meters away from the dragon, but the dragon cannot breathe dragon flames at the same distance.

The dense 20mm caliber cannon shells will cause serious damage to the dragon at this distance. Even if the opponent dodges the first attack and carries more ammunition, the me-109 fighter can continue to fight and shoot down the opponent.

After some trade-offs, Lanhill's first-generation air force fighters were freshly released: the me-109 fighters equipped with three new 20mm cannons, using all-metal aircraft, and speeding more than 550 kilometers per hour, are better than the dragon It's almost three times faster!

While fighter jets and automobile manufacturing are booming, quietly, on the outskirts of Lanhill, on a newly built huge bastion tower, a metal frame made of steel is being used by workers. Set up.

This weird, cult totem-like device consumes astonishing power, but its appearance gave Lanhill an insightful eye in the sky. The first generation of warning radar with the quality of experimentation, so low-key boarded. The stage of history-
