Chapter 246 Taihang Type 1 Short-range Anti-aircraft Gun, Taihang Type 1 Long-range Anti-aircraft Gu
"Hahaha, hello Minister Zhao, have you had breakfast?"
In Yan'an, Ribbent found Zhao Tianyang with a smile.
"Mr. Ribbent, it seems that you are in a good mood today!"
Zhao Tianyang looked at Ribbent curiously: "Did something good happen?"
"Of course!"
Ribbent excitedly took out a medal from his arms, held it in his hand as if showing it off, and showed it to Zhao Tianyang.
"Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross!"
Zhao Tianyang was a little surprised: "It seems that you have already got the results of the intelligence I gave you!"
"Yes."
Ribbent carefully took back the medal, stretched out a hand, brought his five fingers together, and then spread them apart.
"With a bang, just like fireworks, all the people and things related to the 'bomb' disappeared!"
"congratulations!"
Zhao Tianyang was sincerely happy for Ribbent. You know, more than 90% of Germany’s telegrams in World War II were deciphered by the "bomb".
The emergence of the "bomb" also made Germany's wolf pack tactics lose their original deterrent effect, allowing the Allied forces' sea supply routes to operate smoothly.
Now that the "bomb" is gone, and the key figure Turing is gone, he wants to see how the British will defeat the Germans.
"correct."
Zhao Tianyang remembered something and warned: "Be careful that the British give the information about the "bomb" to the Americans and ask them to help study it."
"As far as I know, the American cryptographer William Friedman and mathematician John von Neumann are the most likely to accept this task."
"Especially John von Neumann, a Jew who often wrote letters to the U.S. Congress asking the United States to join the war against Germany."
"What! Jews?"
Ribbent was keenly aware of the key words and immediately assured: "Minister Zhao, the information you provided is very useful. I will report it right away."
"Don't worry!"
Zhao Tianyang stopped Ribbent who wanted to leave: "Now that the accuracy of the 'bomb' has been confirmed, when will the things promised to us arrive?"
“It will be here next month!”
As Ribbent walked out, he said, "I'll tell you where to get it when we get there."
"Fine!"
"Minister, there is news from the rare earth laboratory."
At this time, Li Yun came in and spoke in a low voice.
"Prepare the glider."
Zhao Tianyang stood up, put on his coat and walked out.
Baotou, outside the rare earth laboratory.
"stop!"
Zhao Tianyang and others were stopped at the gate.
"Minister, wait a moment!"
Li Yuncai gave some instructions, got out of the car, took out an ID from his arms and handed it to the guard for inspection.
The guard checked the ID, walked around the assault vehicle twice with the Taihang dog, and waved to his companions in front.
"No problem, you can open the door."
"Squeak!"
With a sound, the iron door was slowly opened.
Li Yun then returned to the car, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and the assault vehicle drove into the laboratory.
"Minister, you are here!"
Zhao Tianyang and others had just parked the car when Lu Da, the person in charge of the rare earth laboratory, came over with his men.
"Engineer Lu, I heard there's been some progress on rare earths?"
Zhao Tianyang looked at the man standing in the middle of the crowd and asked.
"That's right!"
Lu Da nodded: "Come with me, I'll take you to see our results."
Soon, the group entered the rare earth laboratory. Lu Da pointed to a pile of yellow-brown substances on the test bench and introduced
"After research, we found that the rare earths in Baotou are mixed light rare earths. Of course, after mining, we also found a small amount of heavy rare earths."
“Rare earths are typical metallic elements, and their metallic activity is second only to alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.”
"It can also react with a variety of substances such as nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, phosphorus, etc., and is easily soluble in hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid."
"We also found that adding rare earth elements not only enhances the activity of the metal, but also removes oxygen, sulfur and other substances from the molten metal."
"It plays the role of tempering, refining grains, and strengthening the matrix."
At this point, Lu Da stopped explaining and looked at Zhao Tianyang standing beside him: "This is where we have studied so far."
"very good already."
Zhao Tianyang was very satisfied: "Rare earth can strengthen metals, which is very beneficial to the development of our artillery and missiles."
"I hope you can send a few technicians to the artillery factory to teach them how to refine rare earth steel."
"no problem!"
Lu Da nodded and agreed.
"correct."
Zhao Tianyang remembered something and reminded: "I remember that rare earth elements have the characteristic of large neutron capture area. You can try to study it."
"neutron?"
Lu Da touched his chin in thought: "Is the difficulty samarium, europium, gadolinium and other substances?"
"Rare earth is a very magical substance. I hope you can continue to study it in depth."
Zhao Tianyang patted Lu Da on the shoulder and said seriously.
"Do not worry."
Lu Da put aside his thoughts and responded with a faint smile: "I am also interested in rare earths."
"Then let's stop here for today!"
Zhao Tianyang was still relieved about Lu Da.
After all, this person is an outstanding student in the Department of Chemistry at St. John's University in Shanghai.
He also went to study at the Department of Iron and Steel Metallurgy at the Technical University of Berlin in Germany, and passed the Diprolon Engineer Preliminary Examination with excellent results.
Two hours later, Zhao Tianyang left the rare earth laboratory.
"Tell Niu Erli that the security of the rare earth laboratory needs to be strengthened. It would be best to deploy two heavy machine guns at the gate. Armored vehicles and mortars are also necessary."
Rushing into the car, Zhao Tianyang instructed Li Yuncai standing beside him, "Also, check the three generations of ancestors of those who deliver supplies to the laboratory."
"Is it necessary for the Minister to be so exaggerated?"
Li Yuncai was a little confused. Isn’t it just rare earth?
Although it is very powerful, it is not to the extent of checking three generations of a person!
"You do not understand."
Zhao Tianyang seemed very persistent: "This rare earth laboratory is not like a missile research base in the Gobi Desert. Normally, no strangers can be seen."
"This is Baotou, with a lot of people coming and going. If we are exposed, the loss will be huge."
"Fine!"
Li Yuncai replied while driving: "I will coordinate with the organization to dispatch some artillery and armored vehicles."
............
Tank Factory.
"Minister, these two self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are made from the chassis of the LT-38 tank."
Tian Jinchen pointed at the two air defense vehicles parked in the parking lot and introduced them.
"This self-propelled anti-aircraft gun uses a twin-mounted, vehicle-mounted Taihang Type 2 anti-aircraft machine gun for anti-aircraft weapons."
"Compared to the Taihang Type 1 anti-aircraft machine gun, the Taihang Type 2 anti-aircraft machine gun is specially designed for tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns."
"It has a short gun body, light weight, and its center of mass is moved backward, so its moment of inertia is small, so it is very suitable for installation on a moving vehicle."
Tian Jinchen paused for a moment and pointed to another self-propelled anti-aircraft gun: "I won't introduce this one in detail. It uses a twin-mounted 88mm anti-aircraft gun."
"With these two air defense vehicles, we don't have to worry about short-range air defense of 1,000 meters or long-range air defense of 8,000 meters."
"Very good, let's call these two anti-aircraft vehicles the Taihang Type 1 short-range anti-aircraft gun and the Taihang Type 1 long-range anti-aircraft gun!"
After deciding on the names of the two air defense vehicles, Tian Jinchen began to arrange workers to start production.
