Chapter 408 Boudoir Jet Propulsion Laboratory

North of Baotou, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

After more than a month of air and rail transportation, all the large equipment needed by the Weapon Experimental Research Bureau was finally in place, and the relocation mission was successfully completed.

In order to allow scientists from afar to carry out research work as soon as possible, many infrastructure departments directly started the three-shift mode.

With the concerted efforts of comrades, a factory building complex and dormitory with brick and stone structure as the main body have risen from the wasteland of the past.

Considering the importance of the Weapon Experimental Research Bureau to the border area, the army reorganization experts also specially transferred a main force regiment to be stationed in the surrounding area, responsible for the security and trivial matters of the department.

Before the official start of work, Huang He held a small internal meeting with his junior, and finally decided to divide the bureau into five departments.

All matters of the first department are directly under the direct responsibility of Huang, and the current topic is to study the subsequent development models of non-guided rocket weapons such as Hongri and Hongjian.

The leader of the second department is still Shan Wenbao, and all designs and experiments related to piston aircraft are carried out here.

The business content of the third department has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to a year ago.

The original work of the department was to develop new infantry equipment based on French weapons that is more in line with our army's usage habits and tactics. After the overall relocation of the research bureau, the above business has been handed over to the military industry bureau, which is strong in crossing.

The reorganized third department has brought together the top talents in radio, sonar and radar in the entire TG, and they are committed to developing more cutting-edge equipment for the troops.

As for the newly established fourth and fifth departments?

The heads of these two new departments are naturally the deputy director of the Weapons Experiment Research Bureau, Huang's junior: knowledge is like a forest.

The core project of the former is nuclear physics, and the department code is Boudoir. Its ultimate goal is to cultivate a beautiful girl and send warm greetings to neighboring countries.

Well, warmth at the physical level.

The official name of the latter is the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the department code is Yueli Chang'e. They are currently developing a long-range ground-to-ground ballistic missile.

In short, the overall state of the current Weapons Experiment Research Bureau can be described as vigorous and full of vitality.

At 12 noon on March 13, 1942, the director's office.

After reviewing the summary documents of each department last month, Huang He put down his pen, rubbed his sore wrist, pushed away the chair and stood up from his seat.

Seemingly hearing the movement inside the house, the guard Wang Dexing who was on standby outside the door knocked gently on the door.

"Director, two telegrams were sent from the communication office this morning. One of them was from the Liugong Island Naval Military School, signed by Principal Xiao and Brigade Commander Li."

"The second telegram was sent by the army reorganization expert and the director of the Baotou No. 1 Machinery Factory. You need to check and deal with the specific content in person."

As soon as these words came out, Huang He's face immediately showed a hint of interest.

In the boring daily work, the telegrams sent from the outside world can be regarded as one of his few ways to have fun. What's more, the two copies in the hands of his own guards are likely to have explosive news.

"Come in!"

After getting the nod, Wang Dexing pushed the door and strode into the house. He put a folder on the desk, then stepped aside to wait for follow-up instructions.

When he opened the first telegram, the first thing that caught his eye was a dozen lines of text that revealed a happy atmosphere.

"Old Huang:

I miss you so much after not seeing you for so many days, hehe!

Brother, I have become rich recently, and I have the qualifications to secretly challenge the brigade commander. The seafood in Jiaodong area tastes really good. I will ask someone to airlift a portion to the army reorganization expert and you someday.

······

······

By the way, how is the night vision device? Comrades are waiting for it.

Brother, Li Yunlong."

For some reason, when Huang He saw the two words "hehe", he immediately thought of his fellow villager's big white teeth.

"Haha, this Li Yunlong is really not interested in the wine. I think the more than 100 words in the front are all paving the way for the last sentence."

Huang He shook his head, and the corners of his mouth that were raised have never been lowered since he opened the telegram.

"But it's true that we should prepare a batch of night vision goggles for the airborne troops and the main forces, so that our comrades won't be tied up on the battlefield."

In the current battlefield in North China, the Japanese army has realized one thing:

Whether it is a large-scale battle at the army level or a small-scale action at the regiment or even the battalion level, they are almost always suppressed during the day.

The gap in firepower and the loss of air supremacy make the devils more inclined to act at night.

After all, in the dark, the artillery, armored troops and air force of the Eighth Route Army will be weakened to a certain extent. If the tactics are used properly, they can even have a wave of night battles and close combat.

The 1st Marine Brigade encountered a similar situation in the military operations in the Jiaodong area some time ago.

Relying solely on the flares carried by the artillery support company has too many limitations. Tanks can turn on the lights to point the way, but doing so will inevitably expose their own position and whereabouts.

This is why Li Yunlong sent a telegram to ask his fellow villagers about the progress of night vision goggles.

Thinking of this, Huang He concentrated his mind, opened the Awakening Brave Tiger system in his mind, and found the target in the unlocked infantry technology.

"Night Vision Goggles Type 1: The enemy cannot see me, but I can see the enemy, which is the key to night combat. The invention of infrared technology has enabled our army to equip the troops with night vision equipment.

Research time required: 70 days.

Effect: Military factories within the system can produce vehicle-mounted night vision goggles."

Products from the system must be top-notch.

This vehicle-mounted night vision goggles, both in performance and portability, far surpass the Sparrowhawk equipped by Yu Desan for the Leopard G model in the later stages of the war.

In normal weather, its effective range is as long as one thousand meters.

Even in harsh environments, it can guarantee visibility of at least six hundred meters.

Perhaps compared with the new equipment after the war, the paper data of Type 1 is not outstanding. But against the Japanese who lack heavy firepower, the Marine Brigade equipped with it can definitely kill all around. (End of this chapter)
