Ninety-Eight Low-Key
If it weren't for the hundreds of skilled workers who were armed with knowledge magic balls by Chris, if it wasn't for Chris' complete production process and design drawings, if it weren't for him, he would have gone off to solve those technical difficulties in person. Er's fighter wants to go to the sky, it is estimated that it will take more than ten years.
No need now, because you don't need to fly like the Wright brothers, you don't need to go to the trouble of designing a triplane biplane. Ailan Hill directly started mass production of the monoplane World War II fighter in one step, and directly completed the leap-forward development.
Because of the existence of the knowledge magic ball and Chris's technology tree Goldfinger, the industrial civilization has developed a sky-defying spectacle in which airplanes and automobiles developed together, and entered the practical stage almost at the same time.
While the car was being tested, the first engine-equipped fighter jet was undergoing methodical experiments.
Chris continued to choose 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 be able 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 became an option that very much met his selection criteria.
Although the Spitfire had the same or better performance as the me-109 fighter, its production requirements were higher, so Chris gave up the famous British fighter.
Although the performance of the p-51 Mustang fighter is very superior and the range is very anti-sky, its technical requirements are higher, so Chris decided to consider this peak piston fighter of the United States in the choice of the second-generation piston engine fighter.
Now that the Mustang P-51 fighter is placed 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 the same as the Spitfire, and it is not as easy to manufacture as the me-109 fighter.
Another one that fits Chris' 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 fits the current workshop production conditions of Ireland Hill, 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 large-scale production lines.
This can be easily seen from the total amount of aircraft production: Germany produced more than 35,000 me-109 fighter jets under the harsh conditions of being bombed, which is enough to prove the strong production capacity of this fighter jet production line. .
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, Messerschmitt has focused on increasing production speed to win orders from the military and beat its competitors.
Therefore, in the mind of Chris, who also needs production speed, the Messerschmitt me-109 fighter, which is easy to produce and has a passable improvement potential, is a very suitable choice.
Of course, the me-109 fighter is not without its shortcomings. Its stupid landing gear design will bring trouble to the training of novice pilots. However, Chris feels that such shortcomings can be overcome through training. The biggest headache for Ireland Hill is not personnel training, but the low production capacity of 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 path of the Air Force aircraft in his mind.
No country has ever been able to piece together all the advanced weapons in human civilization so defiantly.
The road that Chris is taking is an exciting and mixed road of development against the sky.
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 the powerful third-generation American fighter jets - no country dares to cross and develop like this, but Chris knows that he can!
As for Japanese fighter jets... With better German and American fighter jets, who cares about Japanese fighters with oil spills? The huge range of the Zero fighter Chris doesn't care at all. When he needs the range, the p-51 fighter with longer range and more combat power 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, tens of millions of Marceau can be born in a few days; as long as one Hartman is born in his pilot, You can copy a Hartman team, or a Hartman Air Force!
Even if this kind of copying is only theoretical, but through this kind of copying, his Air Force pilots will grow rapidly, allowing almost everyone to skip the novice stage and become a veteran who can do tasks on their own.
The most annoying training session in the Air Force can be accelerated with the knowledge magic ball, which makes Chris's formation of the Air Force ten times faster. And with the increase of experienced pilots, this expansion rate can even be ten times faster!
The novice pilots who were trained by gliders spread their training results to other novice pilots in a blink of an eye—within ten days, the number of pilots in Airland Hill increased to the level of a hundred. .
At first, everyone was worried that the lack of pilots would affect the construction of the Air Force, but now everyone is worried 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.
Of course, Chris couldn't have his pilot fly a fighter jet and take on the 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 different in terms of damage capability. Airland Hill'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 with a caliber of 30 mm is more effective against targets such as dragons. And when the anti-aircraft gun was put into production, Chris also considered the design of the aircraft gun later, so he directly adopted the 30mm caliber gun, at least in some production links, 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. And the recoil of the 30mm caliber cannon is also very serious, which makes the small me-109 fighter somewhat powerless.
Moreover, the amount of ammunition carried is too small. It is a pity to install the 20mm caliber cannon me-109 to carry about 70 rounds of shells, and the replacement of 30mm caliber shells will reduce it to about 50.
Although 50 shells are enough to damage the dragon, Chris still hopes that his air force can fight in the sky for a longer time after one take-off. In addition, the power of 30mm anti-aircraft guns in actual combat is actually a bit overflowing. The experiment with dragon corpses confirmed that 30mm anti-aircraft guns are a bit overkill for attacking giant dragons.
Therefore, Chris and Des intend to adjust the production line in the future and switch to 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. The dual 20mm caliber anti-aircraft gun has been designed, and the experimental results show that it is more powerful and powerful than the predecessor single 30mm caliber anti-aircraft gun.
On the other hand, Chris does not think that the mobility of the dragon needs to be restrained by the better circling biplanes of World War I. This kind of thing in air combat is simply a competition of defeating ten guilds with one force.
In the face of sheer speed, all the fancy maneuverability doesn't work so well anymore: the reason monoplanes finally made all the old biplanes obsolete is this.
Although the dragon has better performance at low altitude, it can even take off and land vertically and hover in mid-air. But these dragons can't fly at the speed of a monoplane. Those flight performances such as turning radius, Chris thinks that they can be cracked with speed.
Because of the cannon, Ailan Hill's air force also has an absolute advantage in attacking distance. They can fire at a distance of 300 meters from the dragon, but the dragon cannot breathe dragon flames at the same distance.
The dense 20mm caliber cannon and shells will cause serious damage to the dragon at this distance. Even if the opponent avoids the first attack, the me-109 fighter with more ammunition can continue to fight and shoot down the opponent.
After some choices, Ireland Hill's first-generation Air Force fighter was freshly released: a me-109 fighter equipped with three new 20mm caliber cannons, using an all-metal fuselage, with a speed of more than 550 kilometers per hour, faster than The dragon was almost three times faster!
While fighter jets and car manufacturing are booming, quietly, on the outskirts of Ireland Hill, on a huge newly built bastion tower, a metal steel frame made of steel is being woven by workers. They set up.
This strange, cult totem-like device consumes a surprising amount of power, but its appearance has added an eye to all things in the sky of Ailan Hill - the first generation of warning radar has an experimental nature, so it is so low-key entered the stage of history.
