Many times, a good idea just flashes through his head. Yang Mingzhi imagined that he currently owns future generations of air defense vehicles. When enemy planes appear, the anti-aircraft missiles can shoot them down as easily as mosquitoes. Can he obtain this?
High-efficiency results, one is a missile with active guidance, and the other is a radar.
Even the current air defense operations of the 63rd Group Army, not to mention the firepower, are very bad in terms of reaction speed. However, if enemy planes dozens of kilometers away can be discovered early, the troops can prepare in advance! Even if it is five minutes in advance,
The results of air defense operations are completely different.
Then build a radar!
However, this thought only passed by in a flash. Yang Mingzhi was also very clear about the principle of radar. This device can almost be described as adding an antenna to a microwave oven. The core component of the first-generation radar was a magnetron, which produced high-frequency
Microwaves conduct space exploration.
Microwave ovens became a new household appliance after the war, and radar also evolved from a large device in the early days to a compact phased array.
Telegraph machines and magnetrons emit electromagnetic waves, and they are essentially different from each other. Dozens of telegraph machines that increase their transmission power and continuously change their frequency can always touch the German army's communication frequency. German aircraft must be prefabricated in advance.
Using components from radio equipment and magically transforming them into radars is completely irrelevant.
Besides, even if I know the structural principles of radar very well, with the current manufacturing capabilities of the arsenal, I can only draw design drawings that cannot be manufactured. What is the point of this.
Being able to detect enemies before they appear is crucial to the air defense of the Guerrilla Republic. As for how to detect enemy planes without radar, maybe that Liguschkov has a way.
Yang Mingzhi ate the cold potatoes and left the noisy restaurant angrily, which also surprised his guards.
Abram quickly chased after him: "Commander! Where are you going?"
"Oh! If the deputy commander asks about me, just say that I went to the arsenal to find Liguschkov. That's it!"
What Yang Mingzhi did not detail was that the Soviet radar equipment achieved results on the first day of the war!
The radar equipment called the "Radio Aircraft Capturer" developed by the Soviet Union captured a large number of aerial targets 100 kilometers west of the Soviet-German border in the early morning of June 22, 1941. These were the targets of the German Air Force that carried out Barbarossa.
The first bomber unit. Because of this achievement, Tikhomilov, the designer of the radar, became famous and received a Stalin Medal for him.
The Soviet Union is able to manufacture such high-precision equipment because it has a complete production chain, even though the war caused it to lose half of its elite areas and half of its population!
In the guerrilla republic, the existing production capacity can only produce a few weapons and ammunition, such as thermobaric bombs and ultra-long-range rocket launchers, which is a miracle of the military industry. Apart from this, there is little high-tech equipment.
On the other hand, Liguschkov was worried about the enemy plane incident just now. What did the enemy plane mean? It was an air strike!
He still vividly remembered the German air raids a few months ago. When those damn bombers appeared, he was praying silently, hoping that the enemy would not discover the location of the arsenal. Even if the enemy did carry out bombing, he also prayed for those eight to arrive.
Crucial steam machine tools survived.
The steam machine tools in the arsenal play a huge role in the production of weapons. When the shell blanks are cast one by one, which one is not clamped on the triangular chuck and turned into a perfect cone shape! Especially the ammunition chamber, turning tool
Boring is a breeze!
It is these lathes that enable the arsenal to maintain a large ammunition production volume.
It can be said that these old lathes are the lifeblood of Liguschkov!
He had just summoned the cadres of his various workshops, and a meeting "on protecting important production equipment during air strikes" had just ended. After all, this was an internal meeting of the arsenal. As for what problems were solved, nothing was done.
Therefore, when Yang Mingzhi hurried over without any entourage, he was flattered.
"Comrade Commander, you suddenly came to my office. Is there something big going on?!"
"Yes! Something big happened!" Yang Mingzhi gasped, quickly moved a chair, and sat in front of Liguschkov who stood up hurriedly behind the desk.
It happened that the commander himself fell down, and Liguschkov was about to tell all his concerns about enemy aircraft, but the commander had already spoken out first.
Everyone's concerns coincided with each other, and Yang Mingzhi also knocked on the table and emphasized: "The appearance of enemy planes is a sign of danger. They will definitely come back for air strikes, and we must find a way to effectively curb enemy air strikes!"
In other words, the commander could not find any solution. Liguschkov sighed: "Alas! I thought you had a brilliant decision, but it seems that you are also at a loss."
Yang Mingzhi shrugged: "Of course, when I saw the enemy planes escaping, I also thought of you. The arsenal is more important than the fertilizer plant. Once ammunition supply becomes difficult, our combat effectiveness will plummet.
I first thought about whether the arsenal should take some important measures in the future, such as making the ammunition depot more stable and the production workshop more concealed.
But I thought about it, these measures are too passive, we must find a way to be the first to detect the enemy aircraft, and then use our anti-aircraft firepower to shoot down the enemy aircraft."
"So, you came here in a hurry?!"
"Yes!" Yang Mingzhi nodded: "As for how to detect enemy planes first, I first thought of radar. However, we can never make this kind of equipment. Therefore, I want to hear your opinion on how we can detect enemy aircraft early.
Spotted an enemy plane? After all, you were a soldier twenty years ago!"
Gushikov did not want to mention the past of more than 20 years ago. At that time, Blacksmith Village was indeed providing weapons to Soviet Russia. As for the aircraft of the White Army and foreign intervention forces, he had only seen them a few times. The aircraft at that time were too
It's too crude. The so-called bombs dropped by bombers are similar in size to mortar shells. They are thrown down by pilots, which is ridiculous, and their power is only that much.
He recalled: "At that time, we just set up more sentry posts. When we heard the roar in the air, we immediately reported it back to the village, causing all the workers to stop working. Sentinels who are qualified for air defense work must be guys with sensitive ears. And these sentries also have sensitive ears.
Some special tools." Recalling this, Liguschkov simply laughed.
"Hey! Why are you laughing?"
"Oh, that's it!" Liguschkov raised his hands and put them on his ears, making a naughty look: "Just like this, like a hare. You should know that rabbits have big ears.
This enables it to detect abnormalities as early as possible. At that time, our air defense sentries wore such big ears on themselves. As for the effect achieved, I understand. Some noises made by the enemy are amplified by the steel ears, and the sentries can
Make a judgment! This was quite common twenty years ago. But I heard that our country has now manufactured advanced equipment such as radar. Maybe Commander, you can think of a way. I think with your drawings, I
It can be made."
"You?!" Yang Mingzhi was grinning now. He wanted to laugh but couldn't. Obviously, this military worker only knew the term radar and knew nothing about its manufacture and use.
Yang Mingzhi finally explained helplessly: "Even if I can draw the design drawings, you can't complete it. Because the only equipment we have really can't do it."
Here, Yang Mingzhi completely gave up radar, and Liguschkov's memories represent a new type of air defense early warning model - that is, the air defense early warning methods of various countries before the birth of radar!
