Chapter 293 Tube Miniaturization and Transistors
"For example, at this stage, we need to carry out research on anti-aircraft radar and airborne radar." Cyric continued to provide advice along his own line of thinking: "If our anti-aircraft artillery can be equipped with radar, it can strike the enemy more accurately. fighter jets, and our fighter jets, equipped with radar, can also accurately capture targets at night."
Goering has no objection to Cyric's suggestion. It's a really good idea to put this kind of radar in the sky!
"General Cyric, our existing radar equipment is relatively bulky." Dr. Hollmann hesitated for a while, but still expressed his concerns: "If it is provided to anti-aircraft guns or fighter planes, the volume will be very large, The weight is too much, and the power consumption is quite large, I am afraid it is not suitable."
In this era, almost all electronic devices are extremely bulky, the most essential of which is the electronic tube of the glass bubble!
The electronic tube is one of the earliest electric signal amplifier devices. From the outside, it is a large glass bubble, and inside there are filaments for emitting electrons, as well as control grids, acceleration grids, and anodes. This device uses an electric field to inject electronic modulation signals into the control grid in vacuum, and obtains signal data of different parameters after signal amplification or feedback oscillation at the anode.
The discovery of electronic tubes has trans-era significance, representing the arrival of the electronic age. Until later generations, some music enthusiasts love to use tube amplifiers, which are composed of electronic tubes.
The electronic tube opened the door to the electronic age. All electronic equipment in this era, radios, radio stations, amplifiers, radios, etc., are made of electronic tubes.
However, this thing still has a disadvantage, that is, it is too big! In the beginning, a vacuum tube was a large light bulb. Later, after continuous evolution, an ordinary vacuum tube was about as thick as a cigar and about half the length of a cigar.
Also, the filament heats up, which takes time to work.
Hearing the complaint of the famous German electronic engineer, Cyric immediately thought of a lot of things.
In later generations, the East and the West took different paths. Faced with the size of the huge electronic tube, the Soviet Union took the road of miniaturization of the electronic tube, while the West took the road of transistors and integrated circuits. Facts have proved the correctness of the Western road, but transistors require technology.
In later generations, transistors were made in Bell Labs in 1947. Now, there are still nearly ten years.
Therefore, we have to walk on both legs, find some electronic experts, study transistors, and at the same time, start to miniaturize electronic tubes now!
Compared with the new theory of transistors, the miniaturization of electronic tubes is within Cyric's knowledge.
This is the Rhodes vacuum tube. The previous electron tubes came from the light bulb, so the electrodes were all at one end. The Soviet Union Valentine changed his mind and turned the vertical glass tube into a small one placed horizontally. The thin glass tube, the volume has been reduced by ten times!
This kind of electron tube is almost the same size as the original transistor, and although it is small in size, its performance is not bad. The electron tube with the thin rod grids arranged in parallel has higher efficiency, higher frequency range, and larger size.” mechanical properties" and "radiation resistance".
Cyric explained his idea in detail, and everyone present opened their mouths in surprise. This is indeed a genius idea. If this kind of electronic tube can be manufactured, the size will definitely be reduced. Many times, at the same time, the power consumption will come down!
For example, the equipment in this one room may be compressed into one box!
All the electronics experts were present, and they immediately began to imagine how to specifically design this kind of tube.
Cyric's transmigration, without golden fingers, the knowledge reserves of the later generations in his brain are his greatest treasures! And Goering, who was on the side, had long been surprised, and Cyric's head was full of strange things!
"General Cyric, the Prime Minister, please return to Berlin immediately." At this moment, Graf hurriedly said to Cyric: "General Goering, please return to Berlin immediately."
Back to Berlin? In an instant, Cyric's face changed, what happened, so anxious?
To be able to call him back in a hurry must be a major international event. Could it be the Soviet Union?
Last time, the non-aggression pact was signed with the Soviets. At that time, Cyric smothered the other side, and the two sides jointly divided Poland, but the Soviets made the first move.
Could it be that Stalin couldn't wait to start attacking Poland now? If they start now, they really can't do it right away. They haven't prepared anything yet. World War II is about to start?
To say that Lao Maozi and Poland are really deadly enemies, Stalin must be impatient.
Are English and French so easy to mess with? Now that they have occupied the Czech Republic, Britain and France have reached the brink of war, and they are just waiting for the last time.
With a complicated mind, Cyric returned to Berlin. As soon as he saw Hitler, Hitler angrily threw a newspaper to Cyric: "These reporters, damn it!"
reporter? When Cyric picked up the newspaper, he was stunned.
Germany deceived the whole world, the mysterious Libya contains a lot of oil!
Seeing this title, Cyric immediately felt a rumbling in his head, he was not the savior of the world, he could not predict everything, and the ancient Huaxia had a saying, there is no airtight wall, and he wants to keep it perfectly. A secret is impossible, and Libya's secret, which has been kept for more than ten years, is already quite difficult.
Things started from two days ago.
"Hey, Ernie, what do you think, you have to come to this kind of place!" an American man said to another man.
"In order to find the subject." A man named Ernie, with a camera on his chest, got out of the car and asked, "George, what, is this car not repairable?"
Here is the endless desert in Libya, desolate and uninhabited. The two of them drove a dilapidated classic car from a nearby city to this place where birds don't shit. As a result, the car broke down.
Ernie Pyle has a life full of legends.
Born in 1900 near Dana, Indiana, he studied journalism at Indiana University before working as a reporter and editor, working for several newspapers.
In 1935 he became a columnist after the Scripps-Howard newspaper department. But until now, he has remained silent.
He is famous for being the most famous war correspondent in World War II. His reports from Britain, North Africa, Sicily, France and the Pacific were reprinted at the same time by 310 newspapers with a total circulation of 12.5 million copies. Therefore, he is known as "the soldier's reporter" and "the spokesperson for the common American soldier who has established great achievements".
