Chapter 1561 Soviet Nuclear Experts

Of course, the United States will not hand over their latest fighter jets to the Soviets. The P-39 is difficult to operate and is not considered by the United States, so it is supported to the Soviets. The submarines continued to make trouble at sea, resulting in very few supplies to be transported there.

The U.S. Navy itself uses the latest fighter jet developed by the Water Company for the Navy. At the beginning of its development, it was aimed at the FW190 of the German Navy.

This aircraft uses a high-horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-2800 with a power of 2,000 horsepower. Even when needed, through an additional water injection device, the engine's horsepower output can be as high as 2,450 horsepower, which is extremely powerful.

At the same time, it is also the fastest fighter jet of the U.S. Navy. The maximum speed exceeds 640 kilometers per hour, and its performance is comparable to that of the FW190. In extreme cases, it can reach more than 700 kilometers per hour. It can be said that this aircraft is the Looking at the Germans.

Historically, the U.S. Navy has another excellent carrier-based aircraft, the F6F Wildcat, but this aircraft mainly achieved results when it fought with the zero-type of the island country, that is to say, it is an aircraft that attaches great importance to medium and low altitudes. Fighter aircraft, and F4U Corsair, is a fighter aircraft that attaches great importance to high altitude.

The ceiling of the pirates is as high as 12,600, which is already the limit of the German bomber flight. The United States will never let the tragedy of the Soviets repeat itself. At the same time, if it is further optimized, the flight of this fighter will The height can also be higher.

From the appearance, the wing of the inverted seagull is one of its prominent features. This method can make the landing gear shorter, which is convenient for deployment on the aircraft carrier, and also causes the pilot to not easily see the shortcomings of the landing gear.

Moreover, the nose is too long, and the forward vision will be greatly limited. (I really don't understand, how can a fighter jet with an air-cooled engine have such a long nose like a liquid-cooled engine?)

In any case, the equipment of this fighter has greatly increased the confidence of the US Navy, as long as they have enough aircraft carriers to engage the Germans in the Atlantic.

"Today is our first day of flying." The flight captain said in front of him: "Everyone knows that the Germans are about to conquer Moscow, and there is not much time left for us. Even if the Germans have tens of thousands of warships coming, we Don't be afraid, God will bless our land, we firmly believe that justice will prevail!"

"Today is mainly for take-off and landing training, and the squadron leader will fly first."

Roy, who was wearing a full navy flight suit, ran into his fighter jet. When the engine was started, his heart was also excited with the surging engine.

Anyone who loves flying will not resist the temptation of advanced aircraft to him. This is the reason why elite pilots still stay in the fighter force although they will make money from civil aviation in later generations.

Thus began Roy's era of naval aviation.

Moscow, Institute of Physics and Technology.

As the footsteps of the Germans approached, many institutions in Moscow began to relocate, moving in the direction of the Ural Mountains, where a large number of industries have gathered, such as the Aircraft Design Bureau, the Small Arms Design Bureau in Tula, and more importantly The tank factories have been relocated to the Ural Mountains and have begun to prepare for production.

The Institute of Physics and Technology had planned to relocate to the Ural Mountains as early as a month ago, but their relocation was not as fast as those of the weapons industry.

the reason is simple.

Those weapons manufacturing industries are related to whether or not to win this war. Even if Moscow falls, as long as the industry is still there and can continue to manufacture various weapons, there is still hope for the Soviets. If the industry is lost , Unable to make weapons, unarmed warriors, are they going to bite the Germans with their teeth?

The load of railway transportation has reached its maximum, and there are countless trains passing through the vast land of the Soviet Union every day, transporting industrial equipment.

The Institute of Physics and Technology was dragged to the end.

A middle-aged man was standing on the window of the research institute, looking out. At this moment, his heart was full of anxiety.

Igor Vasilievich Kurchatov, the leader of Soviet nuclear physics research, in later generations, it was under his leadership that the Soviets' first nuclear weapons were created.

Throughout the 1930s, nuclear physics was still in its infancy. Historically, in 1932, the German physicist Heisenberg revealed the principle that the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons, and in 1938, the German scientist Otto Hahn and his assistant Strassmann were in the French scientist Jorio On the basis of Marie Curie's experiments, it was further found that when a neutron hits a uranium nucleus, a uranium nucleus can split into two lighter nuclei after absorbing a neutron. This is the world-famous nuclear fission reaction.

And now, because of Cyric's journey, these discoveries have been made in the laboratory a few years ago, and at the same time, they have become extremely secretive projects, and the outside world does not know any progress in nuclear physics at all.

But, in this case, Kurchatov started from scratch in 1934 and built a proton accelerator in his own institute. This test played an important role in promoting the construction of the first cyclotron in the Soviet Union.

However, the overall situation turned against him, and a vigorous purge campaign began.

Just two years ago at a regular meeting of the Academy of Sciences, Kurchatov and one of his colleagues were inexplicably slammed. Officials have accused him of squandering state funds on "irrelevant" nuclear physics.

If it wasn't for the protection of his teacher, Jofee, he would probably have been shot.

Just last year, Kurchatov, who continued to study under pressure, released the research results of the chain nuclear reaction: nuclear fission can generate huge energy, which will play an immeasurable role in the development and destruction of the world.

At the beginning of this year, he published a report on the spontaneous fission of uranium, and at the same time wrote to Stalin, expounding the necessity and prospect of studying the nucleus.

It is said that the above is likely to approve his report. However, with the start of the Great Patriotic War, his research institute has not been allocated funds for a long time, and his research has been interrupted.

If you think about it with your ass, you know, when the Great Patriotic War was at its most tense, how could the Soviet Union allocate funds to study this so-called nuclear weapon that I don’t know when it will be realized?

Kurchatov in history, at this time, can only shelve nuclear research and go to the Black Sea Fleet to degauss the ship.

At this time, standing in front of the window, Kurchatov was lonely. He didn't know that a brand new door had appeared in front of him. If he walked over, he would become a person standing at the peak of nuclear physics science.
