Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

As the chief of the advisory group sent to the border area, Philip is undoubtedly a qualified military and diplomatic expert.

During the period of teaching in Weihai, he did not relax management because of the small number of people in the team. Instead, he insisted on implementing the basic principle of "to require others, you must first strictly require yourself", and always influenced every colleague with a formal and accurate work style.

In addition.

All members of the advisory group will also organize study groups for Chinese and modern history of the Republic of China in their spare time.

Everything is just to be able to integrate into the big collective of the North Sea Fleet as soon as possible, which is also the main reason why the two legendary captains appreciate each other.

······

Hearing the several special terms mentioned by Huang He, Philip's face flashed a trace of surprise, and that expression seemed to think of some interesting past events.

"The upgraded version of air and sea search radar is indeed the strength of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau. In this field, there should be no major force in the world that is stronger than you."

"But are shells using VT proximity fuses really reliable?"

"Huang, I don't doubt your scientific research ability. But as far as I know, the reliability of this type of weapon is very low, and the stupid British even made a big joke because of it."

As early as the beginning of this world war, Dai Ying, who was still well-off, had the idea of ​​studying proximity fuses to improve air defense efficiency.

Facts have proved that the British, who have not completely gone downhill, are really good at it. They took only two years to come up with mass-produced finished weapons.

The Royal Navy was even more ecstatic when it got the new weapons, as if it had found some anti-axis treasure.

There is no way, the Mediterranean is too cruel. Even a fleet with armored aircraft carriers as the core cannot withstand the joint attack of underwater villains and air villains.

Especially Malta, which is like a meat grinder.

In order to capture the Allied forces' important bases in the Mediterranean theater, the land-based fighters of Italy and Germany did not even spare the stray dogs on the roadside, causing RN to urgently need a powerful anti-aircraft weapon to break the deadlock.

Unfortunately, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. This highly anticipated proximity fuze failed in the first battle.

The entire support fleet, large and small warships, fought dozens of rounds, but the only confirmed record after the entire battle was a seafire carrier-based fighter of their own side.

When the battle report was passed to the Free French Navy, this matter once became a joke among senior commanders after dinner, and the straightforward Philip even laughed to death.

Because of this, he lacked confidence in the so-called VT proximity fuze.

Huang He nodded to show his understanding of the concerns and friendly reminders of his allies.

It was different from the situation in the previous life where the VT fuze was over-mythologized on major forums and almost blew it into a force field shield. Now even the parties involved, Ah Chou and Dai Ying, are skeptical about this new weapon.

But it's not a big problem. Since the founder in the original timeline has not made a name for himself, the border area will be the first to try it.

Leaving a name in the history of world weapons has always been one of Huang He's few hobbies.

"Air defense, whether in World War I or now, is a systemic operation. It is meaningless to discuss the combat efficiency and success of a piece of equipment without the system."

"The reason why the proximity fuze with the British is so weak is largely due to the ancient HACS anti-aircraft fire control."

"But we are different. The Weapons Experimental Research Bureau has specially developed a whole system. I will tell you the general principle now, and wait for the ugly country's trading fleet to arrive before boarding the ship for practical operation."

Take the most classic 127mm high-altitude and flat-aircraft dual-purpose gun as an example. The detection radius of the 127 shell equipped with a VT fuze is about 25 meters.

This one produced by the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau is a little stronger, but the limit is only 30 meters.

If there is no reliable fire control system guidance, there is no rangefinder and radar to obtain the position, height, speed and movement direction of the enemy aircraft relative to the main gun.

Then the shell's impact point will deviate from the target, and eventually the VT fuze will not explode and fall directly into the sea intact.

Huang He's explanation and teaching are easy to understand, and in a few words, everyone present has a general understanding of the working principle of the new equipment.

Of course, the VT proximity fuze is not without shortcomings. Otherwise, a certain C-series anti-aircraft gun in Magic Thunder would not have to rely on being a tank destroyer to survive.

If the reliability defect is not solved, it is really hard to say whether its air defense efficiency is higher or lower than the delay fuze.

"The reliability that Philip mentioned just now is actually a problem of the quality of the assembled parts. This thing uses vacuum tubes, batteries and a large number of circuit components, and it can be considered a precision instrument."

"As long as the difficulties of vacuum tube rupture and leakage, battery fluid deterioration and leakage, and circuit board short circuit and open circuit are overcome, the life and reliability of the new shells will be greatly improved."

"Ahem, I am not talented, but the Weapon Experimental Research Bureau I lead is the authority in this field. Even if the bureau stays where it is, it will take Chouguo and Daiying several years to catch up with us."

According to Ah Chou's summary after the war, the average detonation rate of the first wave of new shells they produced at the end of 1942 was less than half.

Even after repeated improvements, the air defense efficiency of VT fuzes within two years could not reach the average level of ordinary delay fuzes.

Even in the Battle of Okinawa in April 1945, Ah Chou and Dai Ying were still troubled by the failure and malfunction of the fuse. Some captains of battleships even refused to use unreliable equipment in public.

However, the above troubles are not unsolvable. A series of difficulties were almost all solved after the war. The continuous improvement of structural design and production process finally made the VT fuse complete.

Well, then the question is, what are the two old things that a certain 7+ coloring game small country starts with?

Isn't it the light bulb-electronic mechanical engineering and the wrench-machine tool.

With the assistance of the awakening brave tiger system, the electronic mechanical engineering technology of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau has long been the best in the world, so the border area version of the VT fuse is almost the World War II extreme version when it is born.

After the teaching was completely over, Huang He began to sort out the data files on his desk. Looking at the three old comrades who seemed to understand, he smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand the specific principles. You are users, not developers. There is really no need to be serious."

"By the way, no matter how powerful the new weapons are, they are only defensive equipment. I personally think that the best tactic for air defense is to directly attack the enemy's airports and aircraft carriers."

"After all, even if North Carolina or Richelieu led the team, she couldn't stand it."

Before Huang He finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the office. Seeing this, the four people temporarily stopped teaching and moved their targets outside the house.

After a while, the visitor pushed open the door directly. The visitor was the current political commissar of the Naval Academy.

"Everyone, something big has happened!"

"Just now, Chief of Staff Liu sent a telegram saying that the Ugly Country's trading fleet was attacked by the Japanese in the northwest corner of the Tsushima Strait. Their flagship was seriously injured in the battle and there is a risk of sinking."

"At present, the Air Force has sent a second wave of support troops, and Captain Wang Hai also officially reunited with the other side ten minutes ago. If everything goes well, the Ugly Countrymen will probably arrive at Liugong Island in the evening."

As soon as these words came out, several people in the office changed their faces, obviously frightened by the sudden news.

Among them, Director Xiao and Old Sa were mostly distressed, after all, the Fletcher-class destroyer was the only advanced ship that the border area could get at this stage.

Now that they were attacked on the road, they were naturally uncomfortable and angry.

"Okay, I got it! Inform the Naval Academy and ask the teachers and students to vacate the dock, and everyone should be prepared for emergency repairs. Apply what you have learned, and now is the time to verify the results of your learning!"

"Call 101 again and ask him to come to Liugong Island."

"As the highest-ranking commander in the entire Shandong Province, he must be here to manage the entire handover ceremony."

"Got it!"

In comparison, Philip's condition is obviously much better, and he already looks like he is mentally prepared.

There is no way. From the Russians' territory to Liugong Island, the straight-line distance between the two is thousands of kilometers. Considering the sea conditions and the strength of the Japanese Navy, this route is really not much safer than the Mediterranean.

Before this, he even made a plan to cut the transaction reward in half. Now that at most one destroyer is lost, it can be said that it is a complete profit.

"Huang, it seems that we still need to strengthen the air force. Without sufficient escort forces, our Toulon Fleet and North African Fleet cannot travel between the Republic of China and West Africa."

"Don't forget the Z Fleet. We must learn from the experience and lessons of the British."

After speaking, Philip looked at Huang He and even used his elbow to nudge his colleague.

Either explode in silence or perish in silence. Huang is obviously the former. He slammed the information on the table and then roared in a completely crazy tone:

"Damn, Fletcher is the new ship I just mentioned. I haven't even seen her in person!"

"Yamamoto Isoroku, you're dead! Ah Chou, don't even think about snatching a head from me! In two years, I will definitely get hundreds of cat sharks and archerfish to suffocate you to death on the small broken island!"

"Yamato, Musashi and Shinano, right? If these three big ships can sail into the deep Pacific, I will lose!" (End of this chapter)
