Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#231 - Subsequent developments of the physical salvation of the Japanese devils

At Yanjing Airport, the six Japanese Zero fighter squadrons had just been transferred. The elite Japanese pilots, each with an arrogant expression, emerged from their warplanes. Looking at the Japanese at the airport who came to greet them, they strutted with bowlegs, ready to enjoy some delicious food.

They were completely unaware that in the sky, the Super Fire, arriving like three beautiful rainbows, was already close at hand!

"What is that?" A Japanese soldier, casually looking up, asked somewhat blankly, staring at the rainbow-like fire-breathing rockets in the sky.

"Nani?" The Japanese soldier next to him looked in the direction pointed out by his comrade, puzzled. When he saw the beautiful, almost妖异 rocket fireworks, his expression suddenly changed.

"That's an enemy attack!" the Japanese soldier yelled loudly.

However, it was useless. The rockets, flying like lightning in the sky, suddenly exploded in the air, a little over 100 meters above the ground, bursting out countless bomblets, which then sprayed open and triggered secondary explosions!

Instantly, within a few thousand square meters of the rocket explosion's epicenter, metal fragments flew everywhere!

Whether it was the running and shouting Japanese soldiers or the warplanes parked on the ground, being hit by these fragments meant a hole as thick as a finger!

The intelligence agent hiding in the cellar heard a deafening explosion. He did not get up to observe but silently counted the time, waiting for the second and third explosions to sound. Then, after waiting for more than ten seconds, he cautiously poked his head out to observe the airport two kilometers away.

Through the binoculars, the Japanese fighter planes, which had originally been parked neatly, were now almost all turned into junk. Some had even caught fire and were emitting smoke.

As for the ground, many Japanese soldiers were lying scattered all over the place.

The intelligence agent patiently counted the damaged fighter planes on the airport, counted all the warplanes on the airport, and then hid back in the cellar.

He began his last dispatch.

"54"

Then he went silent, waiting for the arrival of night. He needed to see if there were any gaps in the Japanese defense after dark. If there were no gaps, he would continue to lie dormant.

He would only try to leave after the Japanese defense was not so tight.

In this cellar, there was some simple food and water, enough to last for several days.

However, the intelligence agent had no reinforcements and had to rely on himself to escape. Obviously, this was an extremely difficult mission.

At the Bianqu (Border Region) Staff Headquarters, everyone jumped up with joy after receiving the message from the hidden intelligence agent.

Because this news meant that the Japanese reinforcements, including Zero fighters and other advanced warplanes, had been almost completely destroyed in one fell swoop. The Japanese would now have to start all over again.

Regardless of whether the Japanese would replenish their forces next, at least it had now been verified that Ren Zhong's remote unmanned attack could be put into practical combat conditions.

This was a secret weapon in the hands of the Bianqu. The Japanese had no room to resist in the short term.

Judging from the current actual combat, this was the best means of attacking the Japanese's heavily guarded airports.

Ren Zhong was not too surprised by this result. The combat mission, which could have been completed with two rockets, now used three. The accuracy was not enough, so the quantity made up for it. This could only be done after achieving ammunition freedom.

Now, destroying a Japanese airport was completely within Ren Zhong's expectations.

After all, technically speaking, the current generation of Dongfeng 1A rockets was completely comparable to the Dongfeng 2. The navigation method and propellant were almost the same. Even in terms of gyroscope accuracy, it now exceeded the level of the Dongfeng 2 era. Therefore, it was not surprising to achieve results comparable to the Dongfeng 2.

Taking advantage of this actual combat test, Ren Zhong felt that the Dongfeng 1A could be put into a certain amount of production, especially in terms of propellant and core components. It was now possible to calculate in the hundreds. The next attacks on Japanese airports and large barracks already had a very good foundation. According to the technical level of the Dongfeng 1A, it now had the ability to cover the entire North China.

If the Japanese had gathered troops, it would be perfect to send one shot to the soul, taking away the Japanese regimental-level garrison in one wave.

However, this would require the reconnaissance personnel lurking in front to have extremely strong latitude and longitude measurement skills, ensuring that the accurate latitude and longitude range of the Japanese garrison was measured clearly and sent to the Bianqu.

Without this ability, this thing would be like a blind man, unable to hit any useful target at all.

More importantly, the next rocket would need to evolve further, requiring more advanced technology to support it.

While considering this, Ren Zhong had already included the research and development of a new generation of theodolites into the plan. In the main world, the measurement of latitude and longitude was a very simple matter. A mobile phone could easily measure latitude and longitude with an error of meters.

But in this time and space, there were almost no intelligent devices, let alone relying on satellites for positioning and measurement.

The sextant researched by the Optical Research Institute could certainly be considered a very good tool, but its use was not convenient enough, and the entry threshold was relatively high. Ren Zhong was considering the feasibility of bringing modern photoelectric theodolites into the Liangjian (Bright Sword) world.

Although there were difficulties, it was not completely impossible.

As long as it doesn't rely on satellite navigation and is purely achieved through optical means, according to the current technical capabilities of the Optical Research Institute, it is already possible to produce everything from long-range infrared telescopes to laser positioning telescopes.

Many technologies have already surpassed this era, but high-end technologies like satellites are currently impossible to realize, so all satellite-based applications are currently unachievable.

Next, it's not just these things; Ren Zhong can't transplant many new computer-based gadgets right now, so in the next phase of key research, electronic technology is a very high priority.

The technological breakthrough in transistors has allowed Ren Zhong to overcome the most important aspect of transistor computers.

The original schematics and computer language of the first-generation "Divine Calculation" transistor computer have been brought to the Bright Sword world and are now under research.

Faced with a completely new field, Ren Zhong doesn't have much understanding and can only bring over the relevant information from the main world to the best of his ability.

The smartest mathematicians and physicists of our nation in this space-time are digesting and absorbing it, starting a difficult evolution. Only by realizing the function of computers can there be a foundation for a new generation of weapons.

Research on vacuum tube computers has already yielded results, but Ren Zhong has no plans to introduce vacuum tube computers.

Because Ren Zhong is very clear that the life of vacuum tube computers is short. Coupled with their large size, high power consumption, high heat generation, short lifespan, and low reliability, and the fact that the basic technology of transistors has now made breakthroughs, Ren Zhong doesn't need to invest in this backward technology.

From the invention of the first vacuum tube computer in 1946 to its elimination in the 1950s, the investment in such a short life cycle is simply too uneconomical.

Relatively speaking, the lifespan of transistors is longer, lasting until about the 1970s. Moreover, transistor computers are truly close to the concept of modern computers, introducing the concept of operating systems and developing and applying high-level programming languages such as FORTRAN and COBOL—these technologies can all be used in integrated circuit computers, which for Ren Zhong, is a field worth long-term investment.

As the cornerstone of the core technology of transistor development, a point-contact germanium transistor has been brought back to the Bright Sword world by Ren Zhong and reproduced, completing the initial industrial production.

This transistor has the characteristics of fast response speed and high accuracy and can be used in various digital and analog functional devices, including amplification, switching, voltage regulation, signal modulation, and oscillation devices, and is now being used to replace electronic products such as radios.

If transistor computers are realized, then we will have world-leading products in radar and decryption machines.

Now, the first-generation transistor computer schematics and high-level computer languages, and even the realization of key concepts such as the first-generation operating system, have all been forcibly transported by Ren Zhong.

The subsequent development of silicon transistors and germanium transistors is integrated circuits. And making integrated circuits smaller and smaller, and the circuit scale larger and larger, will form chips!

This path is inherited in one continuous line.

In this regard, Ren Zhong found complete evolutionary data in the main world, formulating a direct path to the ultimate goal for the Dawn Research Institute's electronic research team.

On the other hand, Ren Zhong has not forgotten how these things were made and is starting to prepare for the production of process equipment, developing the most basic technologies, such as optics. He is now constantly developing the manufacturing technology of optical glass and starting to research the generation and application technologies of lasers, infrared light, and far-infrared light.

There have already been many achievements in ranging and telescopes.

However, these achievements are far from enough, and the gap is still relatively large compared to Ren Zhong's desire to manufacture integrated circuits.

Even with a very clear technical roadmap to guide them, the research on these basic technologies still requires time to overcome the current technical difficulties bit by bit before progress can be made step by step.

But for the maturation of missile technology, in addition to electronic technologies such as vacuum tubes and transistors, the development of technologies such as radar and navigation is another branch.

With the development of transistors, the basic technology in radar will take a leap forward. After all, the reliability of vacuum tubes is far worse than that of transistors, and the performance is far inferior.

The first-generation radar system obtained from the Rogue Eagle, under Ren Zhong's technical guidance, did not completely copy the original plan but used a large number of transistor components for innovation and improvement.

The SCR-268 radar from the Rogue Eagle, equipped with the Sperry M-4 fire control system, is a rather outdated mechanical computer. It receives target direction, speed, and altitude data as input and can output azimuth and elevation data for aiming cannons or searchlights, directing anti-aircraft guns to fire and hit the target. It is relatively clumsy and slow to react.

If a transistor computer is used to replace it, it will not only be faster but also much smaller, and in the future, it can even be deployed as a mobile radar instead of having to be fixed in one place as it is now.

Now, the development of Dongfeng 1A has begun to force the development of radar technology.
