Guam is different from other islands. This is one of the two most important islands in China in the Pacific region. It is a special-class air force base. Even Iwo Jima near Japan is not as good as Guam. With more than 500 square kilometers, Guam in later generations had at least 120 square kilometers as a military base for the US military. Now that Guam has fallen into China's hands, there are more territories available. China will pay attention to it in advance, and even move the indigenous people away like Southeast Asia. Unlike the United States, China is far away from the distant Pacific Ocean. China's territory in Southeast Asia is only 2,400 kilometers away from it. As long as it is arranged, it will become one of the most important air force bases in the Pacific Ocean.

Because of this, Yang Yuanzhao has been waiting for news from the navy and landing forces. At the first time when Guam was confirmed, in addition to ordering surveying and mapping personnel to set off in the early stage, Yang Yuanzhao issued orders directly in Baotou. The most outstanding harbor design expert in the field of design in China and the most famous military air bases. They formed the highest-spec design team, and at least 200 various assistants and surveyors. After gathering in Baotou, they flew to the Philippines for a flight of more than 8,000 kilometers. After a rapid flight, they arrived in less than a day. Then they rested in Manila for a day and started taking a seaplane to Guam.

Entering the ocean, even if you take a slight step from the Philippines to the Pacific Ocean, it is a 2,400-kilometer flight. Nothing is most suitable than an aircraft. In China, airports have been laid out in most cities. Even cities like Lan Fang, which have just joined the Chinese sequence, have arranged at least 15 to 20 airports. Manila is the node city of the Philippines, and it has the largest airport.

There is no airport in Guam. The US military of this era did not even recognize the important role of aircraft. Even Guam itself did not care much about it. A larger island, a node from Hawaii to the Philippines, was only a frontier position. The US military did not build a large-scale project in Guam, and only had a temporary dock. Even larger merchant ships could not stop. If you want to arrive quickly, aircraft is the best, and China has the largest seaplane in the world. Seaplanes are utilizing the rate of use.

It cannot be compared with roadbed aircraft. It has a huge float. It has a lot of weight and volume. It can be used on this. Even in the air, there is no excellent aerodynamic system and the utilization rate is not high. However, it can easily take off and land and fly in most areas except land. This has become an important contact tool among the islands. When the island has not been constructed, some personnel, small tools, supplies and many other things are transported by aircraft.

Before the arrival of top experts, a group of people in Indonesia arrived in Guam on a seaplane. They needed to make preliminary preparations. At the same time, at least 300,000 tons of merchant ships carrying various machinery and equipment and personnel, carrying floating docks to Guam. Because they were at sea and had a slightly slower speed, they brought the necessary equipment and would build temporary docks and settlements on Guam in the shortest time to ensure that Guam would not be held back when construction started.

In the previous air force reconnaissance, in front of necessary personnel, there were enough pictures and information, the location and simple outline of the island, the altitude distribution of the land, the distribution of mountains, and the location suitable for becoming a port. Now a complete design is needed, and the most important thing is the air force base and the naval base.

An island with an area of ​​more than 500 kilometers can accommodate a lot of things if carefully planned. Yang Yuanzhao's purpose is very simple. Not only should we take this place, but we should also defend it with imperfection. The first thing we need to choose is airports and ports, and we should enter enough aircraft and warships to build Guam into the largest naval and air force military base in the southwest Pacific. On this basis, Yang Yuanzhao also put forward higher requirements. Without the help of aircraft, Guam's own defense must resist the attacks of possible battleships, that is, to arrange protective turrets.

Unlike the Japanese archipelago and the Ogasawara Islands, the turrets arranged in those places are slightly simpler, and the most important thing is to arrange airports. Those places are also very important, but not the largest military base. Even if there is a sneak attack, the losses will be small. In China's view, Guam will be a larger port than Pearl Harbor during World War II. The fleets in the southwest Pacific, and even the Australian fleet will be temporarily anchored here. The entire Southwest Pacific Air Force headquarters will also be here, and will accommodate at least 1,000 aircraft in the future.

Such a place will not only become an important node for China in the Southwest Pacific, but also a necessary target for enemy attacks. Once it is paralyzed, there will be major loopholes in the protection of the entire Southwest Pacific, so it is necessary to provide complete protection. Under Yang Yuanzhao's request, a complete turret here requires that it must resist the attacks of at least 8 Fantasy-class battleships without aircraft protection.

This is not a small number. A US city like Panama has a defense system of turrets and fleets. Faced with the attacks of four battleships, it collapsed in just a few hours. Even the sea dams and locks, which are the largest project in the world, only resisted the attacks of four battleships in less than 40 hours, collapsed and completely destroyed. Although destruction is easier than construction, it is enough to see how terrible the attacks of the four battleships against fixed targets are.

When the number of ships increased to 8 ships, the requirements for all have almost increased by two or three times. The reason why Yang Yuanzhao's demands are so high is very simple. The current level of aircraft is far from all-weather state. Even in later generations, all-weather fighter jets can take off in some extreme environments, but under war conditions, they will generally avoid combat under training or mission states.

Strong winds, heavy rains, thunder and lightning, and a series of things can affect the effect of the aircraft. Although China already has a night vision device, it has not been put into the aircraft yet. At night, the aircraft can basically test flights. However, that is something that will be chosen under a last resort and cannot be used as the main conventional combat method.

Before night sailing has become a routine behavior, it is necessary to strengthen the protection capabilities of islands and defense. It has always been China's strength. An island with an area of ​​more than 500 square kilometers can be arranged in many places. In addition, Guam is a mountain-type, rather than a coral reef-type island. As long as you spend your energy, you can arrange artillery at specific locations, and a specially designed fortress cannons are enough to protect everything.

Land-based artillery fire, because the height can be arranged to a relatively high place, and the relationship between enlarged artillery barrels and length, the shooting distance is above the naval guns. For special bases like Guam, China is also willing to place the best artillery here.

The existence of all-in-one machines has surpassed the world in materials science. It may not reach the average level of later generations in the overall world, but it may exceed some individual items.

In terms of the materials, it was originally a very accidental thing. For example, the sword unearthed in the ancient tomb can not be corroded for thousands of years or even thousands of years, and it is still extremely sharp when taken out. Of course, this is just a case. It may be that the sword-casting master got a very special meteorite, or that he accidentally completed an alloy. In the era without any industry, he could make such an alloy that far surpassed later generations, let alone Yang Yuanzhao, who owned an all-in-one machine.

With the support of materials science, the 10,000 different specimens completed every day may be better than the previous 100,000 or even 1 million. After countless arrangements and combinations, especially the complete data analysis, China is even better in the basis of materials science than in later generations. Among the 3 million specimens and nearly 20 million in five years, some relatively unique alloys are naturally born, especially on the cannon steel. China has already produced excellent basic materials.

The existence of all-in-one machines is not only to make some materials with low success rate and low yield rate, but also to perfectly add different materials to different metals, which is quite excellent in the proportion of materials. Among countless choices, China has made extremely rapid progress under the continuous confirmation of materials science.

There are a complete set of rules for the speculation of various material ratios. Unlike later materials science research, after a furnace of metal comes out, a systematic inspection will take a long time. If it is not effective, the furnace will be useless. Time, work, and the cost of the material itself are all problems, which is also the fundamental reason for the difficulty in material science to make breakthroughs.

Sometimes in order to find a suitable material ratio, countless technicians keep calculating, finding possible formulas, and then experimenting with a furnace of alloys. If they succeed, they will be happy, but once they fail, they will be completely ruined. Developed countries almost use a huge amount of money and a lot of time to find an alloy formula, which are almost their core secrets.

But for all-in-one machines, this is not a problem at all. As long as the material ratio is input, it is enough to synthesize a little at once. In metal scanning, all aspects of metal properties are fully reflected. With these precise numbers, many branches of materials science can be applied, but the cost is minimal. It is the huge progress in materials that supports the rapid development of the Chinese and social aspects.
