The selection of talents is not something Wang Xuexin can decide. After all, he lives in a military camp most of the time, and the people and things he comes into contact with are all related to the military. He has no idea about China's talents at this time, so he can only leave it to the headquarters.
What Wang Xuexin could do at this time was, on the one hand, to arrange a laboratory for Skinny, and on the other hand, to continue to manage the airport.
Skinner's laboratory was set up in a bomb shelter two miles from the airport.
This air-raid shelter was built when the stubborn troops were stationed here. It has a reinforced concrete structure, complete living facilities, and a complete generator. It is both safe and confidential. It can be said to be a perfect laboratory... except that there are no equipment and components.
outside.
Skinny had to take care of that.
Wang Xuexin didn't care, because he knew that this project was destined to be a failure, so he just followed Skinner's lead.
Later I thought about it, this is good. This project may not be successful in a few years, and even if it proves that it is not feasible, it will not be achieved in a short time.
So Skinny's team should stay here. Although they, as Eagle Sauce R&D personnel, cannot be used by China... but there are many similar technologies. Wang Xuexin has made up his mind that if the Chinese R&D team encounters them in the future,
Whenever any difficulty arises, the problem is thrown to Skinny on the pretext of improving the accuracy of rockets.
Then, in order to achieve his goal, Skinny used Eagle Sauce's resources to solve these problems for the Eighth Route Army.
Thinking about it, it felt perfect, which made Wang Xuexin feel a little ashamed of Skinner.
But having said that, Skinner himself enjoyed it, and he was even as happy as if he had discovered a treasure... From this aspect, it's not a shame!
Wang Xuexin was right. After hearing what Wang Xuexin said, Skinner was as ecstatic as Columbus discovering the New World, and at the same time he felt a little ashamed.
The reason why he feels ashamed is because he has been interested in rockets since he was a child. Whenever he has free time, he is thinking about rockets. This makes Skinny admit that although he dare not call himself an expert, he still uses the word "professional".
Still well deserved.
but……
He was actually defeated several times by an Eighth Route Army battalion commander!
What's even more annoying is that this Eighth Route Army battalion commander is usually busy with the war, either attacking Yuncheng or directing air combat to bomb enemy airports. Occasionally he comes to "pay attention", "give guidance" and "analyze" the development of rockets when he has time.
Even so, the ideas he proposed were far more advanced than his own, especially this creativity, this thinking, this idea... If he hadn't heard about it face to face, Skinny would have thought it was alien technology.
.
In fact, Yingjiang doesn't really believe in this plan, because it sounds a bit too mysterious... From a modern perspective, this is a normal thing, because this technology has been implemented in modern times and has even been
It has been eliminated, but from the perspective of people during World War II, there is actually a kind of artillery shell that can automatically adjust its attitude after being fired. I dare not even think about it. My first reaction is that it is a lie.
This is not surprising at all. When an epoch-making new technology or new technology appears, the voices of doubt can always overwhelm the voices of support.
For example, Turing invented the most primitive computer in order to decipher the enemy's secret messages. This idea was also regarded as a madman... How could a machine automatically decipher the secret messages?
Doolittle was on Skinny's side, but he didn't know much about the Rockets and couldn't reply to other people's inquiries, so he had to send Sun Erwei to bridge the gap and conduct a "air-distance debate."
"Do you think this project has any chance of success?" the Admiral asked.
"I'm not sure, General!" Skinner was more honest. He didn't dare to say too much about anything he wasn't sure about: "But this is a completely new direction. I can only say... it may succeed, or it may not.
success!"
What Skinner said was nonsense.
But there was no way, scientific researchers usually lacked eloquence, which made Doolittle, who was watching the telegram on the other end, anxious.
Doolittle even cursed in his mind: "If you are not sure whether it will succeed, why not just say 'it may succeed'? And add 'it may not succeed'! Damn it, 'Bazooka' actually
This idiot developed it!"
However, what Doolittle didn't know was that it was Skinny's way of speaking that put the Admiral at ease.
The admiral has read countless people and has reached this position in politics and the military. No bells and whistles or tendentious tone can escape his eyes.
The admiral thought for a moment and asked again: "However, you still think we should support this project?"
"Of course, General!" Skinner replied: "We can't guarantee that any project will succeed, but we still have to give it a try. In addition, this is a brand-new technology. If we can succeed, we will
It means that we have a technology that leads the world, which is very important to us, isn’t it?”
These words hit the admiral's heart directly.
At this time, Eagle Sauce’s strategy at the national level is actually not about doing business, making money, or anything else. In this regard, Eagle Sauce is already number one in the world, far exceeding the sun never sets.
However……
At this time, the Sun Never Sets was still the world's largest empire, although it was only on the surface.
Therefore, Yingjiang needs to defeat the sun in all aspects and pull it from the world's number one throne, whether it is military, economic, or technological.
This is also one of the reasons why Yingjiang took active actions after participating in the war.
It just so happens that the sun never sets gives Yingjiang another opportunity... If the sun never sets and a big country takes on the responsibility, Yingjiang may not have much chance to perform.
But as the world's number one Sun Buluo, it's really ugly to see how he feels in this war.
There is a saying that "If God wants to destroy someone, he must first make him mad."
Sun Bu Luo proudly thought that he had taken advantage of what he had done, but in fact he had completely lost his reputation. The final result was that Eagle Sauce successfully climbed to the number one position in the world.
Just when the admiral hesitated, Doolittle added: "General, I don't think this project will cost us much money..."
"You are wrong, Commodore!" The admiral interrupted Doolittle: "If it were before, maybe not much money would be needed, but after the China Highway was cut off, every bit of weight we transported in was based on pilots.
At the cost of his life!”
Doolittle was speechless because what the admiral said was true.
Then, the admiral sighed and said, "It would be great if we could recruit the Chinese battalion commander to Yingjiang!"
