The Air Force generals were in joy, and Yang Rui thought about the money he spent and the money he was about to spend, and what he heard came to his mind again. The conclusion that the Air Force only had 10% role in the modern war guide said that the Air Force only had 10% role. If the Air Force only had 10% role, then the funding should only be 10%, but now it is far more than that. ⊥Dingdian Novel,

When Yang Rui was worried, Major General Pan Shizhong and Li Ruyan took him and Xu Huafeng to the experimental shed of the institute. Li Ruyan pointed to something like a rural valley-blowing windmill and said proudly: "Prime Minister, this is a wind tunnel designed and manufactured by the institute!"

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

When Yang Rui muttered in his heart, Li Ruyan said: "This wind tunnel is imitated by the Wright brothers in the United States. When we learned about the information about the wind tunnel by the intelligence department, we started to imitate one. The performance of this wind tunnel is better than that of Wright. The airflow speed in the wind tunnel can reach about 60 kilometers per hour. The appearance design and structure of the aircraft need to be determined by the wind tunnel test."

The chief engineer said that the Chugu Windmill is a wind tunnel, and Yang Rui, as an amateur, had no choice but to admit it, although in his opinion, the wind tunnel must be a cave. "The speed of the aircraft can fly at least more than 120 kilometers. So the speed of the wind tunnel is not enough?"

"It's really not enough." Li Ruyan said, and he added: "If you want to build a higher-speed wind tunnel, the investment will be greater, especially the need for continuous acceleration of multi-stage motors. And the length of the wind tunnel must also be increased..."

'I want money again'. Yang Rui only thought he was fooled, but he said: "The wind tunnel must have the best. The designer's plane is the core of the design."

"I understand. Prime Minister!" Li Ruyan said happily. With this sentence, the highway wind tunnel he had thought about for a long time had a shadow. He only called in his heart that long live Prime Minister!

"What is this?" Yang Rui did not expect that his wise decision made another subordinate reciprocate. He saw a dive bomber next to him hanging upright on the beam of the test shed, and many sandbags were hung on the wings.

"Prime Minister, this is the body strength test we did before." Li Ruyan said: "The wind tunnel speed is not enough, especially when the aircraft dives very quickly, and often the speed will exceed 500 kilometers. At this time, the body is subjected to a huge tension. Before the test flight, we first use the sandbag loading method to test the body strength to ensure safety..."

"Sandbag loading method?" Yang Rui asked. He felt that since this was a method, it must have a history.

"Yes, Prime Minister, this is a common method used by foreign aircraft manufacturers, so we have learned from it." Li Ruyan said. "In addition to testing the fuselage, we also need to test the tension of various materials, the grain pressure, transverse pressure, shear and bending force of wood; they are also tested for their physical properties, such as density, humidity, and specific gravity." Li Ruyan was from an industrial school after all, although she was not a system aircraft major. In fact, there was no major in aircraft manufacturing at that time, but she was still very good at doing research. When Yang Rui praised him in his heart, he took an aluminum alloy thin plate and said, "Prime Minister. In the future, the aircraft industry will develop, and this material will prosper. If the aluminum alloy can be rolled into wider sheets like steel plates, then the entire aircraft can be made of metal. It can no longer be made of Irish numbness or trim."

Seeing Li Ruyan say this, Yang Rui and Xu Huafeng looked at each other and smiled. Xu Huafeng coughed and said, "Don't worry. The Prime Minister attaches great importance to aircraft, and he always walks ahead of us if he considers the problem. Now, Luliang Electrolytic Aluminum Factory not only specializes in purchasing 5,000-ton hydraulic presses for die-cast aluminum alloy parts, but also specially purchases a German-made rolling mill with a width of 1,120 mm, but that thing was originally a steel plate. Now it takes some time to adjust it for rolling aluminum plates, but it won't take long. Anyway, you can get an aluminum plate with a width of 1,000 mm.

Aircraft design is actually just a corner of the iceberg floating on the sea surface. The bottom is full of basic industrial technologies, such as smelting technology, metal processing technology, and engine technology. These are the icebergs under the sea surface. Most of the steel plant project in Shanxi Industrial Park and all of the Luliang Aluminum Factory are built for aircraft manufacturing. You can relax here, and the Ministry of Industry guarantees to provide the best conditions for aircraft manufacturing."

Xu Huafeng, who rarely speaks scenes, suddenly changed his mind and began to emphasize the Ministry of Works' support for aircraft manufacturing. He described the situation so well, which only made everyone's eyes shine, but Yang Rui was a little cold. He said: "To be honest, the Air Force spends more money than before, and the pilots simply piled up silver and gold. The funds allocated to the Air Force come from taxes, and taxes come from the people. Life is not easy for the people. I hope everyone will save some money, but knowing that they can't just save money if they want to get things done... Alas, I really don't know what to say... I say that everyone should not have a burden to do this, do their best to complete their jobs." Yang Rui was a little unsatisfied at this time. In order to avoid embarrassment, he pointed to another test shed and said: "Go over there and take a look."

The first test shed is the entire body model, and this test shed has various components. The things Yang Rui wrote in his notepad before are reflected here, such as explosion-proof fuel tanks, sub-fuel tanks, glass transparent covers, parachutes, automatic fire extinguishers, bulletproof seats, ejection seats, shooting coordinators, etc. Some of these have been used on aircraft, and some are just for technical reserves.

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

No one knows that the mysterious person who proposed these ideas is the current Prime Minister. Li Ruyan said: "Many of them have been actually used, such as parachutes, bulletproof seats, shooting coordinators, etc. have been used on aircraft, and explosion-proof fuel tanks, glass cabins, etc. have also been developed, but they have not been installed on aircraft. The main reason is that the design of fighter jets has been delayed..."

In the original plan, torpedo bombers accounted for 80% of the total combat aircraft, and fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft accounted for only 20%. However, even so, fighter jets were still difficult to produce. Compared with torpedo aircraft that pursue range and do not care so much about flexibility, fighters have many problems. In order to pursue static instability, designers even reinstalled the rotary cylinder engine onto the aircraft, but high-power rotary cylinder engines often triggered the gyro effect. Once the aircraft entered the gyro, even experienced pilots could not modify it; and using a small horsepower rotary cylinder engine, the aircraft was difficult to compete with aircraft equipped with high-power star engines in terms of speed and body strength. Therefore, after taking a detour and sacrificing two test pilots, the design institute returned to the old path of star engines and liquid-cooled V-engines, and began to strengthen the research on the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft.

"What about the tactics of the two aircraft formations and rotation in the air?" Yang Rui asked again. These were also what he saw from the novel and movies, and he could not practice them himself. He had to leave them to the lower level to handle and then check the results.

"Prime Minister, these have been actually applied." Major General Pan Shizhong said. "I'll ask the Prime Minister and Lord Xu to move to the reservoir area later. There will be a drill there, and I'll ask the Prime Minister and Lord Xu to review it."

The Design Institute did not have much to visit, so Yang Rui and Xu Huafeng arrived at the reservoir area soon, where the Air Force was going to perform torpedo attacks, dive bombing and fighter jets. These drills were performed by the students of this class, and only dive bombing was an old pilot. After all, the aircraft had just been designed and did not undergo special training. It is difficult to ensure the safety of the students.

Torpedo attacks are not outstanding, especially because of the tension. The first group of torpedo attacks was not successful, while the next groups performed their due level. The formations were neat, flying high, dropping torpedoes, and returning to the team were neatly carried out. Because dive bombers have been created, vertical dive attacks and horizontal torpedo attacks do not require Yang Rui to remind them, Major General Pan Shizhong arranged the troops to start to cooperate with each other. This made the air defense firepower on the sailboat at a loss for a while, and the threats on the upper and side were not known how to choose. In addition, the fighter fired a strait, and many machine gun shooters on the sailboat were hit by their rubber bullets.

The air was full of the roar of aircraft engines. On the water was the sailboats that changed directions and the desperate struggles of machine guns. Although only two sailboats were attacking, Yang Rui felt that he was watching World War II movies, which was really satisfying. Only at this moment did he feel that the value of tens of millions of flowers would make him 10% go to the hell!

After the attacking exercise, Yang Rui went to the airport to visit the aircraft. He didn't say much, but was very concerned about the dive bomber. Li Ruyan saw this and introduced: "This dive bomber is equipped with the latest Kunlun 3 eleven-cylinder star engine, with a power of up to 290 horses, and is stronger after pressurization. The aircraft is 7.58 meters long, with a wingspan of 8.85 meters, a wing area of ​​27.87 square meters, and a height of 2.

At a point **m, the maximum speed can reach 260 kilometers per hour. In order to enable the aircraft to withstand the high speed of dive, the main beam is made of vanadium steel, and other cross beams are made of aluminum alloy pipes, which adds 180 kilograms to the aircraft. In addition, it is vulnerable to attack during dive. We have specially equipped the pilot seats, fuel tanks, and engines. These efforts have made the aircraft's empty weight reach 1,140 kilograms, which is 375 kilograms more than fighter jets.

In addition to increasing weight, the structure of the aircraft has also been adjusted. We placed the machine gun on the upper end of the upper wing, and the pilot seat was particularly raised, so that we can get a good vision when diving. In addition, a brake deceleration plate is installed at the rear of the wing, and the pilot can control the speed of the aircraft through an aluminum deceleration plate during diving. After testing the prototype many times, we believe that it can withstand the dive impact. Now the only disadvantage is that it carries too few bombs. With the fuel reduction, the aircraft can carry two 60 kilogram bombs or three 40 kilogram bombs..."

Yang Rui only saw Stuka's description in World War II Hardwen, and knew the functions and uses of this aircraft. According to the trivial but effective information he provided, the design institute basically mastered the key points of the dive bomber design after hundreds of tests and the cost of life. However, the story of the design process can be said to be endless for three days and three nights, so Li Ruyan just underestimated the performance of this aircraft. Only inadvertently did he show his sincere love for this semi-metal structure, single tail wing, speed reduction plate and bulletproof armor. After all, this is not a copy of the mysterious information sent by the laboratory, but a correction design bit by bit during the experiment.

Yang Rui didn't know how many stories there were behind the dive bomber, but he knew that this was the core weapon of blitzkrieg. Without dive bombers, the tank would always be an infantry companion. He said to Major General Pan Shizhong and Li Ruyan beside him: "Dike bombers are very good! Although the bomb is not big, as the engine power increases, the weight of the bomb can be raised. In my experience, this model is actually a cannon. Because it can do the task of artillery removal at a fixed point, a sixty-kilogram bomb. This is much heavier than a 150-mm cannon shell. However, I have another suggestion, that all dive bombers will have a sharp roar when dives..."

"Li whistle?" Li Ruyan was a little confused. He was very afraid that the Prime Minister and the layman guided the insiders.

"Yes, the roar must be sharp and terrified, and the enemy will be terrified when they hear this sound." Yang Rui smiled inexplicably. "In the future, torpedo bombers can only be equipped with the navy, and fighter jets and dive bombers, besides the navy, the army also need them. This air artillery must be kept improving and exert its power to the maximum."

"The official understands." Li Ruyan replied. He was a person who had never been on the battlefield. The enemy was frightened by Yang Rui's roar. But when this dive bomber, known as the "ghost", was widely afraid of the foreign enemy, he remembered the inexplicable cold smile on the Prime Minister's face today.

When Yang Rui told Li Ruyan to imitate the sound of Stuka, the second exercise had already begun. This time he appeared, they were all old pilots. They were baptized by information and hundreds of trainings. They seized high positions in air combat, climbed, dived, fought, rolled, rotated, and reversed. These things Yang Rui saw from novels and movies were displayed in front of him one by one. Fortunately, the fighter jets were light in weight and high in aluminum alloy hardness. If the strength of the body was worse, such violent movements would cause the plane to disintegrate in the air.

After the fighter jet drill, Yang Rui suddenly stood up and applauded. Others were surprised and applauded in excitement. Yang Rui applauded because he saw the powerful Chinese air force in the future, and everyone applauded because the training results were completely praised by the Prime Minister. This was something they did not expect. Even if the fighter jet was strong, there would be no opponent in the world. However, it was useless to attack Japanese warships. Although the key torpedo bombers frequently concentrated the target ship during the drill just now, it was only in the reservoir. It was not that simple to hit the target ship during sea training, especially when the torpedo attack just now, multiple torpedoes had dived, which made Pan Shizhong and other air force generals sweat.

"I saw that we were at the forefront of the world!" After the applause, Yang Rui began to speak, "This makes me proud of you, but don't forget that leading will only be temporary. The era we are in is an era of technological explosion. Aircraft performance is improving rapidly, and materials science is changing with each passing day. In many cases, this year is leading, next year is mediocre, and year after year is behind. What we do is actually an endless relay race. If you want to win in the relay race, you must improve the talent echelon: pilots are abundant and good at fighting, aircraft designers are experienced and able to quickly deal with the enemy's new models, air combat commanders must be proficient in calculations and good at allocation, and the government and the Ministry of Industry, one gives you sufficient financial support and the other gives you a strong industrial foundation. Only in this way can we win this relay race. Comrades, work hard, victory must belong to us!"

The sun sets, Yang Rui, who is backing the setting sun, looks like a statue of a god. When he stands up and speaks, the air force officers and soldiers sitting below can't see the expression on his face at all. They only feel that there is a shadow with light there. After the brief speech is over, Major General Pan Shizhong and others standing near Yang Rui start to applaud, and the officers and soldiers will applaud desperately.

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

"It's indeed launched." Xu Huafeng said. "The Americans are wondering why we built such a ship, saying it was a warship without cannons and armor, and the merchant ship had a speed of thirty knots. So, what exactly is your ship?"

"What should I do?" Yang Rui laughed, but Xu Huafeng didn't know how to cooperate and did not ask 'Why did the Prime Minister laugh?' he had to say angrily: "What would happen if you load all the planes we watched today onto the ship?"

"Pack onto the ship..." Xu Huafeng thought deeply and suddenly said, "It would be great if the plane could really get on board. But the ship is too small. How many aircraft bombs can be loaded for this 3,000 tons? Besides, the plane takes a distance. A 13,000 tons of ship is only 170 meters long. Can it fly?"

"Of course you can fly." Yang Rui smiled, "This is why we build thirty knots. Even in the windless state, thirty knots can still bring a relative speed of 54 kilometers to the plane during thirty knots. The aircraft can usually take off in more than 60 kilometers, so it does not take long runways. The real difficulty is landing, the wind direction at sea is changing. If you want to land safely within 100 meters, you must use the blocking cable." Last night, I didn't sleep in the middle of the night and went tossing for a day during the day. Yang Rui was extremely tired but was full of energy. "Mr. Huafeng, the laboratory and the Ministry of Works have to open several more projects. The blocking cable used for landing, the catapult for takeoff, the lifting aircraft, the optical landing assistance system, the information command system, and the radar warning system..."

Because he had paid attention to the first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, Yang Rui, the three naval swords, suddenly transformed into two aircraft carriers, which made Xu Huafeng stunned. At the beginning, he was still surprised how Yang Rui could imagine so many things. Later, as the description deepened, he felt that building an aircraft carrier was indeed a more difficult project than building a dreadnought. This not only involved shipbuilding, but also aircraft construction, and the adaptation and management between the two made him listen to it with relish. After only a few hours, Yang Rui began to doze off, and the popular science course on aircraft carrier manufacturing was over.

Yang Rui, who was yawning and talking 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 midnight." Then he took out his watch and looked at it in surprise: "Ah, it's already ugly. It's already done, so let's go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow."

I was dizzy, but I didn't expect that after five or six hours, Yang Rui felt dizzy and his mind was cold. He was going to bed and remembered that the aircraft carrier had not finished asking about it, so he said, "After talking for a long time, I still don't know how the ship is?"

"Oh. That boat..." Xu Huafeng then turned his thoughts to a few hours ago and replied with a smile: "The boat has been launched and is now being installed. Although we are confidential, the appearance of the boat still attracted the attention of the US Navy as soon as it appeared. They also frequently sent people to contact our people and visit them to learn more about the ship. However, this time it did not treat us like the submarines before, and they just watched it."

"Now you're here?" Yang Rui was a little uneasy, but he also knew that such a strange ship would definitely attract others' attention when outfitting. "What about the design and the drawings, can Americans imitate it?"

"It turned out, didn't you say that this ship must be designed by us?" Xu Huafeng said in surprise. "The people sent to study in the UK in the Qing Dynasty still had real talents. Wang Pingxuan, Ye Zaifu, Ma Deji, Guo Xifen, Ba Yumao, Wang Zhu, Zeng Yijing and others, these people have already transferred to MIT under our arrangement. Some of them continue to learn shipbuilding, some... like Ba Yumao, Wang Zhu, Zeng Yijing and Wang Xiaofeng turned to the aviation engineering major. The ship was designed by them. The drawings and other things are in our hands. Even if the Americans can copy them, they cannot copy them all."

Ba Tamamo, Wang Shu’s name Yang Rui knew, and he said strangely: “Now MIT has a professional aviation design design?”

"Yes, it is said that it was just opened. There are only six people in the entire department, two Americans, and the remaining four are them." Xu Huafeng said. "This year, Tongji University also said that it would open this major. Students have been recruited in September..."
