Chapter 1430 Hovercraft

After Cyric crossed over, the biggest golden finger was the various military knowledge in his brain. He knew the whole process of World War II, was familiar with every celebrity in World War II, and was also familiar with the trend of various weapons. After Rick came through, he has been taking shortcuts, all kinds of weapons, as long as he gives a little guidance, he will develop by leaps and bounds.

And in terms of transportation, Cyric certainly won't miss the hovercraft.

When it comes to hovercraft, most of the information may mention Christopher Cockrell. In 1959, British Cockrell built the world's first hovercraft. It departed from Calais, France, within two hours. He successfully crossed the English Channel in five minutes, and caused a sensation in the world.

However, the emergence of any kind of equipment cannot come out all at once. It is like saying that Watt is the inventor of the steam engine. The most accurate statement is that Watt just improved the steam engine.

Before Cockrell, someone had begun to develop this kind of tool. If it was earlier, Dagobert-Mueller had developed this kind of device, but unfortunately, it was born at an untimely time.

Due to his long-term contact with torpedoes, Muller was obsessed with torpedoes, which are "weapons of weak countries" and "magic weapons for small ships against large ships". Experimental glider" to serve as an effective vehicle for torpedoes.

His plan is to use the "three plus one" power configuration scheme. Three large 120-horsepower engines will be used to provide propulsion, while a fourth 65-horsepower one will provide lift. The lift-generating engine is an air compressor that can theoretically operate at a flow rate of 450 cubic meters per minute. The scheme design is expected to have a maximum speed of 32 knots.

When it came out, he was sent to Dubrovnik. However, when he returned to China, he was annoyed to find that his precious rowing boat had been dismantled into iron plates.

At that time, he was depressed, and that was how it felt to be suppressed. But he didn't stay depressed for long, and then the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated.

Later, the Soviet man Levkov, he went further, his ship has a fully enclosed cockpit and powerful self-defense firepower. Unfortunately, it still didn't bear fruit.

When Cockrell succeeded, it was because he proposed a new model of the full-cushion hovercraft. Since the hull can be completely out of the water, the speed can be greatly improved.

However, it was already the Cold War.

In terms of technology, there is no obstacle at all. In this era, Germany already has high-speed high-horsepower diesel engines and advanced processing technology. What Germany needs is ideas.

The so-called hovercraft refers to the boat sailing on the air cushion. The ordinary boat sails in the water, and the water resistance is very large. Moreover, it is not simply proportional to the power of the boat. With the increase of speed, the resistance will appear. It increases geometrically, so no matter how much power the ship has, there is a limit to the final speed.

Those who can go to more than 30 knots are the strongest in this era.

The hovercraft uses a blower to create an air cushion, so that the boat sails on the air cushion, so that it is completely separated from the water, there is no resistance, so the speed is quite fast, and how to create an air cushion is the technical difficulty of the hovercraft.

Because it sails on an air cushion, it can not only sail on water, but also on land. It is definitely a weapon for landing on the beach!

If we talk about the shortcomings, it has high requirements for sea conditions, and it is impossible to navigate when there are strong winds and waves, but in the calm Caspian Sea, it is simply too easy!

Compared with the ground effect aircraft of later generations, it is still a pediatrician, but in this era, the hovercraft is definitely a cross-generational equipment, just like the German rocket and the tiger tank!

And this new equipment was actually sent directly to Iran to help Iran cross the Caspian Sea and make a cross-sea landing!

Iranians are absolutely grateful.

On the coast of the Caspian Sea, the small town of Chalus.

The Iranian army is waiting here quietly. Most of them are light infantry, and all kinds of weapons are almost all made in Germany. After driving away the Soviet invaders, Iran was almost completely Germanized.

The Iranian army already has an advanced weapon such as the Black Panther 2 tank, but it is not in their queue now. They only have one wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, which is completely based on the opinions provided by the German side.

At this time, in front of the queue, Prince Pahlavi in ​​military uniform was in high spirits. Unlike others, he also had a sword hanging from his waist, making him look more like a knight in the past.

King Reza Khan was also here, looking at his son with a fatherly light.

In this operation, Prince Pahlavi is the commander-in-chief. Normally, he only needs to stay in the rear headquarters, but Prince Pahlavi resolutely decided to go to the battlefield.

A commander who has never been on the battlefield is unqualified. Prince Pahlavi tries to train himself through the battlefield and let himself grow up!

I heard that the son of the head of Cyric also went to the front line and became a glorious imperial soldier. The prince himself should be like him!

The big cake-faced princess is full of unhappiness. She has repeatedly persuaded her brother. On the battlefield, bullets don't have long eyes. Prince Pahlavi is actually going to the battlefield this time. It's too dangerous, and this is not mature. the behavior of politicians.

It's a pity that Prince Pahlavi insisted on doing it.

She looked at her watch again, the appointed time had come, what about those mysterious transport devices promised by the Germans? Why haven't you come yet?

There is only a small river nearby, and it is still the Broken Head River, which is not connected with other rivers. The Germans' tools for cross-sea landing must be equipment such as ships.

Moreover, the speed of the ships is very slow. They must have entered Iran long ago before they can reach the coast here, but they have not been notified.

At this moment, from the desert behind him, there was a huge roaring sound, which was quite dull, as if there were huge bison advancing.

When they looked at the sound, a unique piece of equipment appeared in front of them.

Unlike a boat, it does not have any streamlined design of the boat. It is rectangular as a whole, with a whole circle on the side, all of which are black rubber-like things. It seems to be bulging with air inside, and the air is constantly blowing outwards. See how the nearby weeds are swaying.

Not like a ship, but like a plane, it can fly, but it has no wings!

The two huge fans at the rear are even more noticeable.
