If it weren't for the hundreds of skilled workers who were armed by Chris with magic balls of knowledge, if it weren't for Chris's complete production process and design drawings, if it weren't for the fact that he could handle all the technical difficulties in person, down to the smallest detail, Landseer would
It is estimated that it will take more than ten years for a fighter jet to take to the skies.
There is no need for it now, because there is no need to fly like the Wright brothers, and there is no need to take the trouble to design a triplane or biplane. Landseer immediately started mass production of the monoplane World War II fighter in one step, and directly completed a leap in development.
Because of the existence of the Magic Ball of Knowledge and Chris' golden finger of the technology tree, industrial civilization has seen the incredible miracle of airplanes and automobiles being developed together and entering the practical stage almost at the same time.
While the car was being tested, the first fighter jet equipped with an engine was also undergoing methodical experiments.
Chris continued to choose among many classic World War II fighter jets. Finally, due to technical limitations, Chris focused on the production line. He needed to produce the most fighter jets in a short period of time, so production speed and simplicity were the key issues.
the primary consideration criterion.
In other words, in order to produce a sufficient number of fighter jets simply and quickly, he can sacrifice some of the fighter's performance and make some compromises in terms of use.
After making a choice, the Messerschmitt Me-109 fighter jet became an option that very much met his selection criteria.
Although the Spitfire has comparable or even superior performance to the Me-109 fighter, its production requirements are higher, so Chris gave up on this famous British fighter.
Although the P-51 Mustang fighter is very superior and has an incredible range, its technical requirements are higher, so Chris decided to consider this top piston fighter from the United States when choosing a second-generation piston engine fighter.
Now that the Mustang P-51 fighter is placed in the future, there are not many advanced fighters left to choose from. Although the fw-190 fighter can be equally outstanding, it is the same as the Spitfire in terms of ease of manufacturing.
Not as good as the me-109 fighter jet.
Another one that fits Chris's requirements very well is Ben's Zero fighter from the Second World War. The engine of this fighter is very simple and easy to produce. At the same time, it is the pinnacle of the aircraft produced by our workshop: it fits Landseer's current design very well.
The production conditions of the handmade workshop made Chris very excited.
But what restricted Chris's choice was the production model: Although the production conditions of the Zero fighter were very low, it also lacked the production technology support of a large-scale production line.
This can be easily seen from the total aircraft production and surprise: Germany produced a total of more than 35,000 me-109 fighter jets under the harsh conditions of being bombed, which is enough to prove the strong production capacity of this fighter production line.
.
Under the same conditions, only 10,000 Zero fighters were produced. This is the huge gap between the two sides in production speed. In the history of mankind, Messerschmitt focused on increasing production speed and won the victory.
received orders from the military and defeated its competitors.
Therefore, in the mind of Chris, who also needs production speed, the Messerschmitt ME-109 fighter jet, which is easy to produce and has decent improvement potential, is a very suitable choice.
Of course, the me-109 fighter jet is not without its shortcomings. Its awkward landing gear design will cause trouble for novice pilot training. However, Chris believes that such shortcomings can be overcome through training. The biggest headache for Landseer now is not
Personnel training, but low production capacity in military production!
"The new fighter will use the me-109, the next generation will use the p-51, and the next one will be the MiG-15!" Chris was happily thinking about the development path of future air force aircraft in his mind.
There has never been a country that can piece together all the advanced weapons in human civilization in such an incredible way. The path Chris is taking is an exciting and unparalleled development path.
We started with German fighter jets, conquered the world with American fighter jets, inherited the past with Soviet fighter jets, and finally developed into powerful third-generation American fighter jets. No country dares to develop like this through time, but Chris knows that he can!
As for this fighter... With better German and American fighter jets, who would consider the one with oil leakage? Chris doesn't care about the huge range of the Zero fighter. When he needs the range, it will have a longer range and combat effectiveness.
The stronger P-51 fighter would be a better choice.
Using the magic ball of knowledge, he can copy and train a large number of pilots. As long as one Marcelo is born in his army, tens of millions of Marceliu can be born in a few days; as long as a Hartmann is born in his pilot,
You can copy a Hartmann team or a Hartmann aviation army!
Even if such copying is only theoretical, through such copying, his air force pilots will rapidly develop and grow, allowing almost everyone to skip the novice stage and become an experienced bird who can perform tasks on their own.
The most annoying training link in the Air Force can be speeded up by using the Magic Ball of Knowledge, which speeds up Chris' formation of the Air Force ten times. And with the increase in experienced pilots, the expansion speed can even be ten times faster!
The novice pilots trained through gliders quickly spread their training results to other novice pilots. Within ten days, the number of pilots in Landseer increased to hundreds.
At first, everyone was worried that the insufficient number of pilots would affect the construction of the air force, but now everyone is beginning to worry that the production speed of aircraft cannot keep up with the training speed of pilots.
Choosing the me-109 is not just a casual choice. Weaponry trade-offs are something that must be made. German aircraft look good, but German aviation weapons are not very reliable.
Of course, Chris couldn't let his pilot fly a fighter jet to fight the dragon with 7.92 mm caliber bullets. So what he prepared for the me-109 fighter jet was a larger caliber 20 mm caliber aerial cannon.
Although the ballistics of aircraft guns are somewhat worse than that of machine guns, the two are completely different in terms of damage capabilities. Landseer's current air combat needs are similar to those of Germany and Japan in World War II. They have to face the opponent's heavy
Interception of air targets.
Obviously, large-caliber aircraft guns with a caliber of 30 mm are more effective against targets such as dragons. Moreover, when the anti-aircraft gun was put into production, Chris also considered the subsequent aircraft gun design, so he directly adopted the 30 mm caliber aircraft gun.
Millimeter-caliber aircraft guns, at least in part of the production process, remain common.
However, in subsequent experiments, a series of problems were exposed: Because the me-109 fighter aircraft body is not large, it is obviously a bit cramped to install a 30 mm caliber aircraft gun. Moreover, the recoil of the 30 mm caliber aircraft gun is also very serious, which makes
The small me-109 fighter jet is somewhat powerless.
Moreover, the amount of ammunition carried is really too small. The me-109, which is also equipped with a 20 mm caliber cannon, unfortunately carries about 70 rounds of shells. If it is equipped with a 30 mm caliber shell, it will be reduced to about 50.
Although 50 rounds of artillery shells are enough to damage the dragon, Chris still hopes that his air force can fight in the sky for a longer time after taking off. In addition, the 30mm caliber anti-aircraft gun is actually a bit powerful in actual combat.
The experiment with the giant dragon's corpse proved that the 30mm caliber anti-aircraft gun was overqualified to attack the giant dragon.
Therefore, Chris and Des intend to adjust the production line in the future and switch to the production of 20 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns and machine guns to increase the efficiency of steel use. After all, 20 mm caliber artillery saves more steel in both guns and ammunition.
After saving steel, anti-aircraft guns can be mounted in multiple units to increase their firepower density. Dual 20mm-caliber anti-aircraft guns have been designed, and experimental results show that it has greater firepower than its predecessor's single 30-mm-caliber anti-aircraft gun.
The power is also more powerful.
On the other hand, Chris didn't think that the dragon's maneuvers needed to be restrained by the better-circling biplanes of World War I. Air combat, to put it simply, was a competition in which one could defeat ten enemies with one force.
In the face of the absolute speed advantage, all fancy maneuverability is no longer so useful: this is the reason why monoplanes eventually eliminated all old-fashioned biplanes.
Although giant dragons can perform better at low altitudes, they can even take off and land vertically and hover in mid-air. However, the flying speed of these giant dragons cannot be compared to that of monoplanes. For those flying abilities such as turning radius, Chris believes that speed can be relied upon entirely.
to crack.
Because of the aerial cannon, Landseer's air force also had an absolute advantage in attack range. They could open fire and attack at a distance of 300 meters from the dragon, but the dragon could not breathe dragon fire at the same distance.
The dense 20mm caliber cannon shells will cause serious damage to the dragon at this distance. Even if the opponent evades the first attack, the me-109 fighter jet carrying more ammunition can continue to fight and shoot down the opponent.
After some trade-offs, Landseer's first-generation Air Force fighter was released: the me-109 fighter equipped with three new 20 mm caliber aerial cannons, using an all-metal machine, with a speed of more than 550 kilometers per hour, faster than the Dragon
Almost three times faster!
While fighter jets and automobile manufacturing are booming, quietly, on the outskirts of Landhill, on a newly built huge bastion tower, a metal steel frame made of steel is being woven by workers.
Set it up.
This weird, cult totem-like device consumes an astonishing amount of power, but its appearance has added an eye to the sky of Landseer to see all things. The first-generation warning radar, with the quality of experiment, quietly boarded the
