In Ye Chen's expectations, Chief Lei began to explain the gas turbine to Ye Chen.
"When it comes to gas turbines, we have to mention Germany." Chief Lei was a little surprised.
If anyone hears this, it will be very strange. What is the relationship between gas turbines and Germany? Ye Chen is a military fan. Of course, it is not surprising to know this relationship.
"Germany was defeated in World War II, but Germany left two technologies that had a great impact on the post-war period, one was a missile and the other was a jet aircraft." Chief Lei continued: "Missiles were called by Germany at the time The V bomb was used by Nazi Germany to bomb London and prepare to level London to force Britain to surrender. It did not achieve the goal but also caused huge casualties to Britain. At the time, British Prime Minister Churchill had to order the country to carry out War insurance. "
Having said that, Chief Lei smiled and said, "Everyone knows that war is without insurance, and no one wants to do war insurance. It can be said that this is the first of its kind in Britain. In this regard, Churchill is proud and special Written into his memoir. "
The destructiveness of war is too great, and no one has such a large family for war insurance unless the state acts.
"Although the V bomb was used by Germany for actual combat, its technical reasons were not very destructive, so it did not achieve the intended purpose." Chief Lei added.
At the beginning of the advent of the missile, it can only be said that it can be used in actual combat. As for the size of the battle results, it is really hard to say. If the missile technology at that time could reach the current level, only Germany had missiles, and if Britain did not, it would be hard to say whether Britain would surrender.
At least, the strategic agencies and heads of government in Britain are bound to be in big trouble.
"Despite all these shortcomings, all countries are very optimistic about the future of missiles, and they have invested heavily in research after the war. So far, which big country has no missiles?" Chief Lei smiled, with some contempt, saying: "The United States occupied West Germany, captured a large number of German scientists, and with the help of these German scientists, the US missiles have advanced by leaps and bounds. Without the help of so many German scientists, would American missiles make such a huge progress?"
The answer is obvious. At that time, the United States attached great importance to this group of German scientists, both hard and soft, forcing these German scientists to serve the United States.
Now, it can be said that missiles are flying all over the country, and some countries with a little power have missiles. Can't make it, won't you buy it? It can be said that missiles are one of the most important things now.
"Jet aircraft also appeared in Germany. The reason why this is the most important scientific and technological heritage left by Germany is that its power is gas turbines. This is the first gas turbine in the world to enter the practical stage." Road.
A gas turbine is actually a general term that refers to a rotary power machine that uses a continuously flowing gas as a working medium and converts thermal energy into mechanical work. This kind of machinery is divided into many types according to different uses. Aircraft uses aeronautical equipment and ships use marine gas turbines.
The theory of gas turbines was proposed by the British Barber as early as 1791, and subsequently, different types of gas turbines appeared. However, due to technical defects, either the energy consumption is too high or it is not applicable, and it has not entered the practical stage.
The actual use of gas turbines in Germany is Germany. Prior to World War II, Germany's science and technology were very developed, and it was arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world at that time. This was far from the comparison between the United States and Britain.
This can be seen in the number of scientists who have won the Nobel Prize.
Before World War II, German scientists were the countries that received the most prizes. After World War II, it became the United States.
It is because of so many outstanding scientists that Germany took the lead in using gas turbines in practice, and this is the jet aircraft.
The emergence of jet aircraft can be said to be a milestone in the history of aviation. One of the most important reasons is the use of gas turbines.
Chief Lei paused and said an anecdote saying, "Although Germany has built jet planes, it can also be said to be a German nightmare. Because Germany uses a lot of human, material, and technological strength for jet planes. Research, thereby ignoring nuclear weapons. "
If Germany had mastered nuclear weapons, what would happen to the end of World War II would be intriguing.
"What made the Germans unexpected was that although Germany produced a large number of jet planes, it was difficult to use them in the war because Germany lacked oil, these jet planes could not get into the sky and were bombed in large numbers at the airport. If At that time, Germany had no shortage of energy. If so many advanced jets could get into the sky, the end of World War II is also worth pondering. "Chief Lei thought about it and said," You know, jets were the most advanced fighters at the time. . "
The jet was the most advanced fighter at the time, and it was known for its outstanding performance, which was far beyond that of allied aircraft at that time.
However, Germany is oil-poor and doesn't have enough fuel to get these advanced planes to the sky. It can only watch such advanced jets blow up at the airport.
If Germany has enough fuel to get these advanced jets into the sky, it will be difficult to say whether the results of World War II will change, but it will definitely delay the end of World War II for a long time to come.
Air dominance has been particularly important since World War II. Germany's "blitz" is not based on air dominance? To launch an attack, the German army first dispatched a large number of bombers to carry out indiscriminate bombing, destroying the enemy's targets of great value. Wait until the time is almost up, and then invest a large number of well-established elite armored troops.
These armored units are not necessarily equipped with advanced tanks and armored vehicles. However, they are well-trained, flexible in command, capable of good combat, advanced in tactics, and brave in combat.
Therefore, the enemy's army will soon be overwhelmed by a large number of German armored troops, attacking Poland, attacking France, and attacking fur bears.
If German jets can go to the sky and regain air dominance, it will definitely cause great trouble to the Allies.
In order to solve the fuel problem, the head of state and his general Guderian had been arguing for years, and no one could convince anyone.
Goodrian is known as the father of modern armored warfare. Germany can possess a large number of elite armored troops, and his credit is great. Of course, another part of the credit goes to the head of state. Neither was optimistic about the prospects of the armored forces, but the head of state was optimistic. He also reused Guderian and made Guderian the director of the armored forces to form the world's first large-scale armored force.
At that time, the German military circles objected, the head of the government was angry, and all the opposing generals were dismissed. Even the chief of staff was also dismissed, which cleared obstacles for Goodrian.
It is precisely because the two of them have such a special cooperative relationship that Guderian can speak a lot of things. What others dare not say, he can say that the head of state has to endure.
When the Germans lost, Guderian proposed that they could bring the army together and form a powerful assault cluster to devastate the enemy. The head of state disagreed and repeatedly rejected this opinion.
The reason for the head of state's refutation is: my dear general, do you know what it is to fight? It hits resources, it hits oil. Can the tank drive without fuel? Can the plane still go to the sky?
Goodrian's reason cannot be said to be unreasonable, but the reason of the head of state cannot be said to be wrong. In this way, the two have been arguing for years, and no one can convince anyone.
The reason they argue so is that Germany is poorly resourced.
"After the war, gas turbines were no longer limited to airplanes. The British took the lead in the use of ships. The British improved the aviation gas turbines. This greatly inspired all countries. The United States came later, and GE made gas turbines with good performance and stability. "People are praised." Chief Lei was very emotional, said: "Our country imported gas turbines from the United States, built two warships, more than ten years, the use of gas turbines has been very stable."
In the 1970s and 1980s, the Heavenly Dynasty and the United States had common enemies, and their relationship was quite good. It was called the "honeymoon period" and they could import advanced equipment from the United States. Gas turbines are one of them.
This kind of friendly relationship has not existed for a long time. It did n’t take long for the relationship between Tianchao and the United States to plummet. The United States banned the export of gas turbines to the Tianchao, which made it impossible to rebuild warships of this type in our country.
"When it comes to gas turbines, many of us are always saying that our country made a mistake at that time and we should not exclude Rolls-Royce. Otherwise, after the United States embargoes on our country, we can still buy it from Britain." Ye Chen After taking the conversation, shaking his head, he said, "People who hold this view are very naive and do not refute them rarely. Many people believe it. Do they not know that Britain is the younger brother of the United States and the boss of the United States has spoken? , The little brother of the United Kingdom dare to disobey? Do they dare to risk the anger of the United States and sell us gas turbines? "
"You're right." Ye Chen's words resonated with Chief Lei.
The entire western world is headed by the United States, and the United States is the boss. The United States wants to ban things exported to our country. Will the little American brothers dare to sell?
Just look at Europe's arms embargo on our country.
European countries are eager to sell to our country, but the United States is not allowed. So far, the arms embargo has not been lifted.
On several occasions, European countries have met in order to lift the arms embargo on our country, and the United States has thrown down a stringent order. Shouldn't European countries just have to give up?
"Our country attaches great importance to gas turbines. However, due to the country's weak strength, lack of funding, and not much investment, progress is not very fast. With the improvement of the country's real state, the country has invested more in this area. Our days Finally it's better. "Chief Lei felt it.
"I heard that our country has purchased a large amount of such technology from a Western country. Is it true?" Ye Chen asked a little gossip.
This news has been circulating for many years, but I don't know if it is true or false.
"You can't say no, you can't say yes." Chief Lei's words were a bit intriguing.
Ye Chen was unwilling. What do you say is like the old monk, playing the Zen machine, is it true or not? (To be continued.)
