Chapter 1121 Norton Scope

"Well, science has no borders. If we should learn from others, we have to learn humbly!"

Yang Fan was very at ease to find an excuse for himself. As for copyright, patent, etc., I'm sorry. Mr. Yang also spent real money to get this technology!

"What the chief executive said is very! This set of technology is really timely. We are worried about anti-submarine affairs. Now, we will open our thinking and horizons in an instant!"

The director of the research institute, Tang Jiangan, was also excited and quickly gave a series of praises.

As the saying goes, an expert reads the tricks. He instantly understood the powerful military value of this anti-submarine gun that looked not complicated, and immediately asked Yang Fan:

"Master, when will this technology be introduced? I can't wait to see the physical objects and specific technical information!"

"Hehe, don't worry, hedgehog anti-submarine guns and production lines will be introduced to our Shandong Peninsula in the past few days, and there will be experts responsible for guiding the installation and trial production!"

After a smile, Yang Fan continued: "

Okay, next I will introduce to you another epoch-making new military technology: Norton scope,…”

Norton scope is known as the "hidden hero of World War II" and is a bomber aiming equipment widely used during World War II. This kind of inconspicuous equipment rarely appears in the public's sight.

However, its influence on war is no less than that of star equipment such as m4, which greatly improves the bomb drop accuracy of horizontal bombers. In the past, people have been boasted that it can drop bombs into "ketchup buckets".

When the Norton sight is used, the bomb thrower first looks for the target through the eyepiece, then aims the target at the crossbar, then turns on the power switch, and the gyroscope system starts to work. At this time, the sighting device is always aimed at the target, and the bomb thrower starts to manually enter parameters.

After all this is ready, the aircraft's flight control is handed over to Norton's sight. This is true until the bomb drop is completed. The computer will calculate various parameters, and then "automatically drive" the aircraft to fly to the target and drop bombs. In theory, the bomb can be dropped within 30 meters of the ground target at an altitude of 7 kilometers.

According to actual combat statistics, the accuracy of the Norton sight to drop bombs is only about 10%, and it basically depends on the dense drop of bombs in the aircraft group to meet combat needs. Moreover, bombers need to fly at high altitudes to drop bombs, and are often blocked by clouds. The most famous one is the time when atomic bombs were dropped.

However, directly increasing the original high-altitude bombing hit rate from 1% to 10% can still be regarded as a revolutionary achievement.

"Chief, is it really the Norton scope developed by the US government with all its might? Has it been successfully developed now? Can we also introduce such top-level high-tech technology? Wow, it's really incredible!"

After listening to the introduction, Wang Yongchen, chief engineer of Dongxing Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, stood up immediately and looked at Yang Fan with admiration. His little eyes were so amazing.

This Chinese expert who graduated from MIT in the United States is also a person who knows the goods. He had heard of this research topic when he was studying in the United States and was very clear about the value and technological value contained in it.

Although Norton sights seem ordinary, they actually represent the high-tech level at that time. The entire project cost about $1.5 billion, compared with the "Manhattan Project", which is the US Army's atomic bomb project, it cost $3 billion.

Compared with this, this Norton sight is really not cheap, and its cost is nearly as expensive as the atomic bomb.

Therefore, the confidentiality of Norton sights is done very closely. US bomber crews usually receive basic training for 12-18 weeks, and before receiving training, relevant personnel will be asked to conduct a oath ceremony to keep their lives confidential.

In fact, the development of Norton bombing sights began in World War I, and the original purpose was to attack ships by naval aircraft.

However, the Royal Air Force bomber corps initially considered relying on indiscriminate bombing of metropolis as an important means to combat the morale of the enemy country.

The US strategic bombing idea is very different: it attaches great importance to and trusts the performance and precise bombing of bombers, and focuses on bombing in the key areas of the enemy country from a height that cannot be reached by enemy aircraft and anti-aircraft guns.

So this is why Norton sight was born.

"Yes, this technology is indeed one of the latest research results of the United States. We have used some special channels and means, and spent a lot of funds and manpower to get this military technology."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "And it will be introduced in the near future. We will study and research slowly at that time."

Yang Fan really didn't open his eyes and talked lies. The Norton sight production line in the system mall is priced at 200 million wealth points, which is really not cheap.

Of course, this has to be compared with whom. Compared with the Norton scope that has been created by the United States, which has spent countless manpower, material resources and time costs, Yang Fan only needs 200 million wealth points to pack and take it away. It is obvious that it is really too cost-effective and cheap.

Although Yang Fan is still on the defensive position now, if a person has no ideals, wouldn’t it be different from a salted fish? Yang will definitely not always be passive in defense. As long as the capital in his hand is enough, he will definitely have to fully move into an offensive state. At that time, Norton’s scope will be of great use.

Then, Yang Fan continued to shake his jokes and said, "Next, I will briefly introduce the other three Air Force technical equipment: aircraft enemy-friendly identification device, Vicks 40mm S-type air cannon, and Il 2 ground attack aircraft."

Aircraft enemy-friendly identifiers refer to electronic devices installed on the aircraft to identify the enemy-friendly attributes of the targets discovered by the radar, and electronic devices installed on the aircraft to identify the enemy-friendly attributes of the targets discovered by the radar. They include two types: answering machines and question-and-answer machines.

It combines with other aircraft, ships, tanks and radar stations with inquiries or question-and-answers, forming a cooperative target enemy-to-we-recognition system.

With this thing, air combat and ground air defense can be targeted in the future, greatly improving air combat capabilities and air defense capabilities. There is no need to worry about letting the Japanese Air Force take advantage of the troubled waters.

The Vickers 40mm S-type air cannon is a new air cannon currently being researched by the British. It can not only kill enemy aircraft with one blow, but also has extremely strong lethality against armored vehicles on the ground.

According to needs, the Vickers 40mm S-type air cannon can fire two types of ammunition: armor-piercing shells (ap) or high-explosive grenades (he), with a firing rate of 100 rounds per minute.

Currently, the 40mm armor-piercing projectiles unlocked simultaneously in the system are divided into Type 1 and Type 5. Type 1 projectile weighs 2 pounds and can penetrate 50mm armor at a 30-degree angle.

The armor-piercing bomb has a 5-type weight of 3 pounds and its armor-piercing ability has also been improved by 10%.

Using armor-piercing bombs, Vickers 40mm S-type cannon can cause damage to most German armored targets except Tiger tanks.

Because the high-explosive grenade is lighter and has a high initial launch velocity, its ballistics are close to the machine gun trajectory used by the British army to shoot, and the hit rate can reach 25%, which is twice the hit rate of the armor-piercing bullet.
