Volume 5: The Battle of Britain Chapter 94: The Longest Day (7)
The German Military Industry Alliance was established in 1936. It is composed of fourteen military industry leaders. Its main purpose is to divide planned production internally to increase production capacity to avoid competition and unnecessary consumption. Its appearance has added an accelerator for the prepared war behavior. Good communication not only avoids competition, but also initiated many cooperation in scientific research. Many weapons of the armed forces were born under joint research and development. Facts have proved that the power of the joint is powerful, and the weapons studied and produced are invincible in war.
The Stark family originally had its own military factory. As the Stark family began its political journey, the military factory was decomposed into military leaders such as Messerschmid, Siemens, Henkel, Crowber and others. Stark exchanged the stocks of various military leaders' companies and their support. This is not a reason for giving up, but the existence of the military factory has become a stumbling block in the political journey. Its existence greatly threatens the interests of other arms manufacturers, which is not allowed. Therefore, it is very necessary to take spin-offs and mergers in exchange for unity of a rope.
The Institute of Stark belonging to was supposed to be split up under the operation of Hal von Stark, but was eventually stopped by Kahn von Stark. At his suggestion, the joint research of the institutes belonging to each company was proposed in February 1939. This proposal was not immediately accepted by each company because science is confidential and no one is willing to contribute selflessly to the research results for everyone to share. Later, it was because of the outbreak of war that the relationship between military control and compromise between multiple parties was considered to be an understanding. Of course, the sacrifice of the interests of the Stark family is absolutely indispensable.
All the examples that happen repeatedly show that sometimes thinking about compromise and sacrifice can bring greater benefits, and this benefit seems to be absolutely happy.
The Joint Research Institute has many achievements, including black panther, assault tiger, glazed rat, groundhog, otter and other tanks and combat vehicles, which have been proven to be excellent land combat weapons. In terms of aviation research, those aircraft that should have been born many years later have proved everything. They are currently throwing bombs at the British over the British Isles. The only regret is the navy. With weak accumulation, there are almost no new products. It is gratifying that further scientific research on submarines has finally played some role.
In other aspects, the achievements made by the Joint Research Institute are also amazing! Of course, Xu Yang, who knows the role of weapon development, plays an important role in prompting, after all, it can avoid delays or errors in the research route.
After nearly three years of research, Germany has basically mastered nuclear fission after nearly three years of research. Of course, the atomic bomb has not been created yet, but the things that come up with the idea are full of variety, and there is one of them that is impossible... or it is to produce a super bomb that I don’t know how to use. Of course, I won’t mention the matter about the “super bomb”.
At present, Germany has been obtaining necessary research materials from Norway, one of which is called "heavy water".
What is "heavy water"? Heavywater - deuterium oxide, which is a compound composed of deuterium and oxygen. The molecular formula d2o, with a molecular weight of 20.0275, is about 11% higher than the molecular weight of ordinary water (h2o), so it is called heavy water. In natural water, the content of heavy water accounts for about 0.015%. Due to the difference in properties of deuterium and hydrogen, it is 10-15.
In short, heavy water is a research material for studying nuclear weapons.
As a veteran, Xu Yang attaches great importance to the "Manhattan Project" and pays much attention to it. He even distributes funds and resources from other projects in order to increase the research of the "Manhattan Project". After all, whoever researches the atomic bomb first will have the qualification to win, even if the conventional war was bad at that time.
Germany has too few resources, so it has occupied so many countries. They are still too few for Germany's war materials requirements. In this way, it is difficult to avoid the impact of conventional wars over time. At present, Germany is fighting countries with relatively small populations, using sudden attacks to achieve a series of victories, and the losses in the war are minor. However, when you go to the east, there is a red polar bear! This country is very large in terms of population base and land area. Once Germany starts war with it, it will be impossible to defeat it in a short period of time, and then it will be inevitable to fall into long-term combat.
If the demand for military materials in long-term combat cannot be calculated and solved quickly, losses in the form of confrontation will be inevitable, and soldiers will be destined to continue to die in battle. This is very unprofitable for the German population.
Among the new types of bombs, two types proved to be extremely excellent. After testing, they were rushed to the front line, intending to make Britain the first country to be bombed.
The former capital of France, Paris, is now occupied by the Third Reich of Germany. At an airport outside the suburbs, dozens of huge horizontal bombers were parked in the hangar. After maintenance and inspection, they found that the aircraft shell was not damaged. This phenomenon shows that during the previous waves of bombing operations, the British anti-aircraft guns did not hit a height of 10,000 meters.
The technicians checked in detail, and they carried out complicated maintenance of almost all major parts and machines, with more attention to the engine than all.
On the side of the huge group of big guys, dozens of ground crew members carefully disassembled the boxes with the words "highly dangerous". Some strange bombs appeared later, and they were bombs painted red - that is, cloud explosion bombs!
Although they have been told about the danger, they have never seen a bomb painted with such a color, and they are inevitably stunned when they see it for the first time.
"Be careful, be careful!"
With a call, the ground crew finally came to their senses. Perhaps their thoughts were: "It's indeed an extremely dangerous guy, no wonder he needs to paint it."
High-explosive bombs are not a special guy. For example, the gun bullets used by infantry and the artillery shells used by tanks are in the category of high-explosive bombs. The high-explosive bombs used for bombing are enlarged and enhanced versions.
As for the cloud bomb, no matter how intelligence personnel investigate, it has not been found in any corner of the world except Germany.
Since it is the only owner, the confidentiality measures for it are of course outrageously strict.
Cloud explosion bombs are also called air bombs and fuel air bombs. As the name suggests, their charge is not ** but fuel, that is, fuel air ammunition. The main charge of this bomb is cloud explosion agent, also known as fuel-air**. Cloud explosion agent is a high-energy fuel, not **. ** relies entirely on its own oxygen supply when a detonation reaction occurs. When a cloud explosion bomb explodes, it makes full use of oxygen in the atmosphere in the explosion area: under certain detonation conditions, the cloud explosion agent is thrown away, mixed with the air and explodes violently, which is called cloud explosion.
Because the detonation is dozens of times longer, it has a great destructive effect on the target. The destructive effect of fog detonation on the target mainly relies on the overpressure and temperature field effects generated by the detonation, as well as the erosion of high-temperature and high-pressure detonation products. Because cloud and fog detonation consumes the surrounding oxygen, it can form an oxygen-deficient area within the range of action, causing organisms to suffocate and die.
The cloud explosion agent releases much higher energy than the average mass of **, and the explosion shock wave generated can destroy large areas of military targets. The explosion wave reflects and superimposes between walls, and the overpressure value is much higher than that of open space, so the killing effect of the cloud explosion bomb is more effective in confined space. Therefore, the individual cloud explosion bomb is particularly suitable for attacking living targets in houses, buildings and bunkers. The power of the cloud explosion bomb is comparable to that of the 120mm grenade.
The experimental process found that early cloud explosions can be divided into the first detonation used to explode the fuel contained in the container, so that it mixes with air to form aerosol clouds. The second detonation is used to detonate the clouds and fog to form a bombing effect.
In addition to the overpressure field, the destructive effect of the bomb also has a temperature field and fragmentation. Although the maximum detonation overpressure value of the detonation wave produced by the cloud explosion bomb is lower than that of ordinary **, its detonation reaction time (including the detonation reaction time) is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary ** and the lasting time is long, the destructive effect of the shock wave is much larger than that of ordinary **, and its action area is also larger. Experiments have shown that the tnt equivalent of ethylene oxide is 2.7 to 5.0 times, that is, 1 kilogram ring
The shock wave effect generated by the ethylene oxide explosion is equivalent to the shock wave effect of the 2.7-5.0 kg TNT explosion. The shock wave action area is 40% larger than the TNT explosion of the same mass, and the shock wave duration is much longer than the TNT explosion. Fuel and air bombs have great damage power for living forces, soft targets, and light armored targets. It can be seen that the emergence of cloud explosion bombs is a major innovation and development of conventional weapons, which adds a series of conventional weapons.
Of course, it is completely different from tnt**.
The explosion process of the cloud explosion bomb is: when the cloud explosion bomb is dropped or launched above the target, it detonates the carrier bomb under the action of a special fuse, disperses the fuel in the bomb evenly in the air, mixes it with the air to form a suspended aerosol, and gathers over the target to form a covering, like thick fog. When the aerosol reaches a certain concentration, the fuse is detonated for a second time in the air, and the entire fog explodes, releasing a large amount of heat energy in an instant, forming a high-temperature and high-pressure fireball, whose temperature is usually around 2500c, and it expands rapidly at a speed of 2000 to 2500 meters per second, achieving the goal of destroying the target.
tnt is a strong**, and the reaction occurs during explosion = 4tnt+21o2=28co2+10h2o+6n2. The constituent elements of tnt are c.h.n.o, and the ratio of atoms is 7:5:3:6, and the relative molecular mass is 227.
