Chapter 98 98 Low keyIf it weren't for the hundreds of skilled workers armed with the magic ball of knowledge by Chris, if it weren't for Chris' complete The production process and design blueprint, if not for him, he can go off the field to solve those technical difficulties in detail, Alanhill's fighter wants to go to heaven, it is estimated that he will have to wait more than ten years.
Not now, because you don't need to fly like Wright's brother, you don't need to go out of your way to design a triplane or biplane. Alanhill started mass production of monoplane World War II fighters in one step, and directly completed a leap in development.
Because of the existence of the knowledge magic ball and Chris's technology tree cheat, the industrial civilization has developed an aircraft and a car together, and almost simultaneously entered the practical stage of the anti-sky spectacle.
While the car was being tested, the first fighter jet equipped with an engine was undergoing methodical experiments.
Chris was constantly choosing among many classic fighters of World War II, and finally because of technical constraints, Chris focused on the production line. He needs to produce the most fighters in a short period of time, so production speed and ease of production are the primary considerations.
That is to say, in order to produce a sufficient number of fighter jets simply and quickly, he can sacrifice the performance of some fighter jets, and he can also make some compromises in terms of use.
After a trade-off, the Messerschmitt ME-109 fighter was an option that fit his selection criteria very well.
While the Spitfire had comparable or even better performance to the ME-109, its production requirements were higher, so Chris dropped the famous British fighter.
Although the performance of the P-51 Mustang fighter is very superior and the range is very unbelievable, its technical requirements are higher, so Chris decided to choose the second-generation piston engine fighter, considering the United States. The pinnacle piston fighter.
Now that the Mustang P-51 fighter is in the future, there are not many advanced fighters left to choose from. Although the performance of the FW-190 fighter is equally outstanding, it is like the Spitfire, and it is not as easy to manufacture as the ME-109 fighter.
Another one that fits Chris's requirements very well is the Japanese Zero fighter during World War II. The engine of this fighter is very simple and easy to produce, and it is also the pinnacle of Japanese workshop production aircraft: it is very suitable for Alanhill's current workshop production conditions, which makes Chris very excited.
However, what restricts Chris' choice is the production mode: although the production conditions of the Zero fighter are very low, 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: under the harsh conditions of being bombed, Germany produced a total of more than 35,000 ME-109 fighter jets, which is enough to prove this The production line of fighter jets has strong production capacity.
Under the same conditions, only 10,000 Zero fighters were produced, which is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of production speed. Throughout human history, the Messerschmitt company focused on increasing the speed of production to win orders from the military and beat its competitors.
Therefore, in Chris' mind that the same production speed is required, the Messerschmitt ME-109 fighter, which is easy to produce and has a decent improvement potential, is a very suitable choice.
Of course, the ME-109 fighter jet is not without its shortcomings. Its stupid landing gear design will bring trouble to the training of novice pilots. However, Chris believes that such shortcomings can be overcome through training. Now Alanhill'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 of the Air Force aircraft in his mind.
There has never been a country that can put together all the advanced weapons in human civilization so defiantly. The road Chris is taking is an exciting development of fish and dragons mixed in together.
Started with German fighter jets, used American fighter jets to conquer the world, used Soviet fighter jets to link the past and the future, and finally developed into a powerful third-generation American fighter jet - no country dares to go through development like this, but Chris knows that he can!
As for Japanese fighter jets... With better German and American fighter jets, who would think about Japanese fighters with oil spills? 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 battle strength may be a better choice.
Using the magic ball of knowledge, he can copy and train a large number of pilots. As long as one Marceau is born in his army, he can give birth to tens of millions of Marceau within a few days; as long as one of his pilots is born. With a Hartman, you can copy a Hartman team, or a Hartman Air Force!
Even if such copying is only theoretical, but through such copying, his air force pilots will rapidly develop and grow, allowing almost everyone to skip the novice stage and become self-tasking. old bird.
One of the most annoying training sessions in the Air Force can be speeded up with the Knowledge Magic Ball, which allows Chris to build the Air Force ten times faster. And with the increase of experienced pilots, this expansion rate can even be ten times faster!
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 Alanhill pilots increased to hundreds degree in units.
In 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.
The choice of ME-109 is not just a matter of choice. The choice of weapons is something that must be done. German aircraft look good, but German aviation weapons are not very reliable.
Chris is of course impossible to have his pilot fly a fighter jet and take on the giant dragon with 7.92mm bullets. So what he prepared for the ME-109 fighter was a larger caliber 20mm caliber cannon.
Although the ballistic performance of the cannon is worse than that of the machine gun, the two are completely incomparable in terms of damage capability. Alanhill's current air combat needs, similar to those of Germany and Japan in World War II, are to face the opponent's heavy air targets for interception.
Obviously, a large-caliber cannon like 30mm is better at killing targets like giant dragon. And when the anti-aircraft gun was put into production, Chris also considered the design of the aircraft gun, so he directly adopted the 30mm caliber gun, at least in part of the production process, maintaining the versatility.
However, in the subsequent experiments, a series of problems were exposed: because the body of the ME-109 fighter was not large, the installation of the 30mm caliber cannon was obviously a bit cramped. Moreover, the recoil of the 30mm caliber cannon is also very serious, which makes the small ME-109 fighter somewhat powerless.
In addition, the amount of ammunition carried is too small. It is a pity that the ME-109 20mm caliber cannon carries about 70 shells, and the 30mm caliber shells will be reduced to about 50.
Although 50 shells are enough to damage the giant dragon, Chris still hopes that his air force can fight in the sky for a longer time after a takeoff. In addition, the power of 30mm anti-aircraft guns in actual combat is actually a bit overflowing. The experiment with giant dragon corpses confirmed that 30mm anti-aircraft guns are a bit overkill for attacking giant dragons.
So, in the future, Chris and Dez plan to adjust the production line to produce 20mm caliber anti-aircraft guns and cannons to increase the efficiency of the use of steel. After all, the 20mm caliber gun saves more steel in both the barrel and the ammunition.
After saving steel, anti-aircraft guns can be multi-mounted to increase their firepower density. Dual 20mm anti-aircraft guns have been designed, and experimental results show that it is more powerful and powerful than the senior single 30mm anti-aircraft gun.
On the other hand, Chris doesn't think the giant dragon's maneuverability needs to be restrained by the better-circling biplanes of World War I. Air combat this thing, to put it simply, is the competition of the single force subduing ten clubs.
In the face of sheer speed, all the fancy maneuverability doesn't work so well: that's why monoplanes finally made all the old biplanes obsolete.
Although the giant dragon has better performance at low altitudes, it can even take off and land vertically and hover in midair. But the flying speed of these giant dragons can't compare to monoplanes. Those flight performances such as turning radius, Chris believes that speed can be used to crack.
Because of the relationship with the cannon, Alanhill's air force has an absolute advantage in attacking distance. They can fire at a distance of 300 meters from the giant dragon, but the giant dragon cannot breathe dragon flames at the same distance.
The dense 20mm cannon shells will cause serious damage to the giant dragon at this distance, even if the opponent avoids the first attack and carries the ME-109 fighter with more ammo, You can continue to fight to shoot down the opponent.
After some trade-offs, Alanhill's first-generation Air Force fighter was freshly released: an ME-109 fighter equipped with three new 20mm caliber cannons, an all-metal fuselage, and a speed of more than 550 kilometers, almost three times faster than giant dragon!
While fighter jets and car manufacturing are booming, quietly, on the outskirts of Alanhill, on a huge newly built bastion tower, a metal steel woven from steel The rack is being erected by the workers.
This bizarre, cult-like Totem device consumes a surprising amount of power, but its presence has given Alanhill's sky an eye that clearly understands everything - the first-generation warning radar with experimental Nature, so low-key boarded the stage of history. ►
