Chapter 159 Going to China Again
() In the following month, the research team conducted several more tests to test the high-altitude survival problem and jet lag problem of the bat bomb. During the high-altitude survival test, it was proved that after flying for one hour at an altitude of 8,000 meters, there was no
Insulation, pressurization and oxygenation measures
Without protection, bats have almost no survival rate at all. Even if high-altitude bats lose the protection of pressurization and oxygenation for only a minute or so, nearly half of the bats will fall into coma. In actual combat,
Once these guys are unconscious, they will definitely fall to death.
As a result, the cheaper magazine pressurization was rejected. The bomb had to be determined to be pressurized. This is actually not difficult, just make each small door on the bomb highly airtight, and then set it inside the bomb.
CO2 chemical collection unit adds slightly to cost
That's all. The new bombs have also successfully withstood the test of long-distance flights at high altitudes. A modified B-24 bomber carried several bombs equipped with bats and completed several direct flights from the continental United States to Alaska. Most of them
Some bats are safe in flight.
There have also been breakthroughs in microgravity fuzes. In recent tests, this kind of fuze has guaranteed a fire rate of nearly 60%. This fire rate is basically ready for use, but considering that this kind of bomb still needs
When traveling long distances to China, there may be bumps, high temperatures, low temperatures, and salt spray erosion along the way, so its reliability needs to go through more tests.
As for the jet lag problem, it has also been successfully solved by artificially controlling changes in brightness in a large dark room where bats are kept.
Now, there is no big technical problem with this kind of bomb, it is just waiting to become more and more perfect as time goes by. Then, another issue begins to become urgent. That is China's preparations.
Considering China's tragic counter-espionage capabilities and the fact that the KMT government has been penetrated by the Japanese like a sieve, this plan must be hidden from the Chinese government. Otherwise, the bat bomb may not have time to be dropped.
Japan is about to launch a nationwide bat eradication campaign.
However, it is very difficult for such a plan not to pass the Chinese government. Among other things, the source of bats is a big problem. Sichuan is a basin with many mountains and caves. Of course, there are more bats living in caves.
Catching bats on the ground is obviously much cheaper than transporting bats all the way from the United States. And considering the cost of labor, hiring is
It is obviously much cheaper for Chinese people to catch bats than to send a lot of Yankees to do this job. Moreover, you have to know that there were so many bandits in China at that time. If you get a large group of Yankees to crawl into the ravines, you will encounter
When it comes to bandits and something goes wrong, who will take responsibility? In addition, it would be best for the Chinese to stick incendiary bombs on bats.
Such large-scale activities are completely impossible without the cooperation of the Chinese government. Therefore, the Americans must find an excuse to make the Chinese believe that the targets of these activities are other types.
"How about the excuse of medicine?" When discussing this issue, Dr.
, which is very beneficial to the progress of the war. Therefore, we need to collect a large number of bats and transport them back to the United States after preliminary processing.
As far as I know, the Chinese people's level of medicine and biology is very primitive. They will believe it. In this way, there will be people who can catch bats and stick incendiary bombs on bats. However, we must put those
The workers who glued the incendiary bombs on the bats were strictly isolated from the outside world. Will this cause dissatisfaction among the workers and their families, as well as human rights issues?"
"'Dissatisfaction of workers and their families'? 'Human rights issues'?" Ron smiled, "Doctor, you don't have to worry about that, that's China, not the United States. There are no unions there. And most of the people there are struggling.
On the verge of starving to death. For them, not starving to death is the most important thing. Other things are just minor problems. I am worried about whether the reason that Bala Balaba can deceive the Chinese can deceive the Japanese.
.You know, there is not much difference between what the Chinese government knows and what the Japanese know."
"The level of the Japanese is higher than that of the Chinese. But in terms of medical technology, the level of the Japanese is not very good. They will believe it." Dr.
It greatly reduces the chance of trauma infection and promotes wound healing. Even we in the United States dare not say that it is definitely fake. Because in these two aspects, bats do have big advantages over humans."
"Then we will find a few people and make a plan. Then, we have to prepare an advance team to go to China to arrange some things. I will arrange the military people. In addition, I also need some bats.
Someone who is very familiar with caves. Do you have any good people you can recommend to me?”
"Yes, I have a friend named Bear Grylls. He is a very good cave expert."
"Holy crap! Why does this guy have the same name as Mr. Bei?" Ron said in his heart.
…
A C-47 transport plane flew smoothly over the dense rainforest. In the cabin, Ron and his expert team were chatting.
"Is this the famous 'Hump Route'?" asked a short man who looked to be in his fifties, "It doesn't seem to be as scary as the legend says."
"That's because we are taking the southern route now. Compared with the northern route, although the distance is much longer, there are also many fewer snow-capped mountains to fly over. So the risk of flying is naturally much smaller. As far as I know,
On this route, the biggest danger comes from Japanese fighter planes." Another officer replied.
"But now Japanese fighter jets are no longer a threat. Last time General Ron coordinated the 10th and 14th Air Forces here, and after a slap in the face, the Japanese aviation power in Myanmar was basically defeated.
Now, the Japanese airport in Myitkyina has always been under the suppression of the 10th and 14th Air Forces. There is no force to threaten this route anymore." An officer replied.
"Master Bei, even if the Japanese show up, you don't have to worry. If others parachute, they will starve to death below, but you won't. The jungle below is like a banquet hall to you. Isn't it?
"
That little man was the cave expert named Bear Grylls, who had the same name as the later Mr. Bei. Unlike the later Mr. Bei, who was 1.82 meters tall, this Mr. Bei was less than 1.7 meters tall. But as a
A cave expert, this Mr. Bei has little experience in the wild, especially in mountains and jungles.
He is worse than the later generations of Mr. Bei. Perhaps because he has been outside for a long time, this Mr. Bei looks a bit older. He has just forty, and he looks like he is fifty years old. So Ron's attitude toward him
The title "Bei Ye" was immediately recognized by everyone. Now "Bei Ye" has become the special name for Bell in the group.
"Chaucer, shut up you crow!" Ron said. Pilots are actually a bit superstitious. In fact, all high-risk industries have similar situations. They will believe it consciously or unconsciously.
Believe in omens, believe in lip gloss, believe in amulets, believe in various protective spirits or protective saints.
Before time travel, when Ron was watching Hong Kong police movies, there was a plot that always made him funny. That was a group of robbers planning to rob a bank. After preparing the big black star and ak-47, before going out
, the boss said hello: "Wait a minute, let's put incense sticks for Mr. Guan first. Please bless Mr. Guan that our brother's vote will be successful immediately." And the other side got it.
The informant note was also prepared with M-4 and MP-5. Before leaving the house, the police officer leading the team would also say: "Wait a minute, everyone first come over and put incense sticks on Mr. Guan..." Ron felt it was ridiculous at the time.
——Who do you think Mr. Guan should bless? But now, Ron has seen almost the same thing so many times that he doesn’t even feel that there is anything wrong.
For example, many pilots carry a small cross with them. Before going on a mission, many of them will take it out and pray to God devoutly. Praying to God to bless them and prevent the Germans from hitting them, so that they will not be able to hit them every time.
Every shot can make the Germans look like idiots... And over there, the German pilots will pray to the same God exactly before taking off.
So, after telling the crow mouth to shut up immediately, Ron added: "God, please protect us from encountering Japanese fighter jets!" As he said this, he took out an emerald Guanyin pendant from his chest.
This thing was given to him by General Zhou Zhirou, commander of the Chinese Air Force, when he came to China last time. It is said to be made of the best Laokeng glass material.
Maybe it was God or Guanyin Bodhisattva who blessed them. Anyway, they arrived at Kunming Wujiaba Airport without incident.
At the airport, Ron didn't see Chennault. It was reported that he had gone to Chongqing on business. But it didn't matter. Ron was planning to rush to Chongqing early tomorrow morning. So he sent a copy to the US military liaison department in Chongqing.
Send a telegram and ask them to contact Chennault. After all, Chennault is familiar with the KMT senior management, and it would be more beneficial for him to promote some things.
Soon, Ron received a call back. Chennault said that Mr. Chang Kaishen was very interested in Ron. He could introduce him to Mr. Chang Kaishen and his wife. Chennault told Ron that if he could get Mr. Chang Kaishen's
