Chapter 97 The Mystery of the Disc
Chapter 97 The Secret of the Disc
Because he won the "Ark of the Covenant" that was enough to change the fate of the empire, and because of the appreciation of the head of state, Lin Neng turned from a low-level officer and "undercover Superman" to a senior auxiliary decision-maker in a blink of an eye. He received more than just spiritual honors and material rewards. After the special approval of the head of state, he could contact any level of confidential information and intelligence information in the base at will, and could enter any area except the mansion of military and political officials to visit, inspect and inquire, and all personnel had the obligation to answer truthfully. Although this privilege cannot mobilize a soldier and a soldier at will, it can satisfy Lin Neng's curiosity and enrich his information resources unprecedentedly.
In Linn's eyes, there are two core secrets of the "Sanctuary" base. One is the situation of the head of the empire, and the answer has been naturally revealed; the other is the truth of the disc aircraft, especially after going to the United States, which has become an important consideration for his strategic planning. Now, just looking at the information alone can no longer meet the needs, so General Linn waved his hand and asked the service officer to arrange himself to go to the core confidential area on the upper hangar - the Disk Laboratory.
The privileged status is extraordinary. In less than 30 minutes, Lynn took a tunnel line from the Imperial Base Camp to reach the cave library containing the highest secrets of the Empire.
In this comprehensive laboratory with an oval body that integrates research, assembly and maintenance, there is no hangar-style runway or advanced robotic arms, and most of the work is manually operated by technicians.
Six "disc aircraft" with slightly different diameters are parked here quietly. From a close distance, their bodies are not as full as they imagined. The smallest ones have the outer ring like super-large fans. The larger ones have a more streamlined smooth appearance, and there are transparent observation windows in the raised middle. Under the light, their silver-gray appearance exudes a dark and mysterious luster.
Endless reverie and endless speculation, one day suddenly became within reach, and Lynn stood in front of the glass window speechless for a long time.
"We built a total of twelve discs in front and back, divided into four batches, named Flywheel i, Vertical takeoff and landing ii, Bellown Woman War God iii and disc iv. Two Types i and two Types ii crashed in early tests. We conducted manned modification tests with some Iiii and IV models. One Type iii was carried to North America by a submarine to participate in the assault operation, and the other Type iv was transported to the Antarctic region for activities. At present, two Types of IV models are still undergoing the same type of manned modification. According to the instructions of the head of state, the rest are temporarily retained without manned original state."
Standing behind him and introducing the situation to Lynn was an aerodynamic expert without any doctoral title, the genius young man Stefan, who was jointly responsible for this aircraft project that was beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Recalling the rumors in later generations, Lynn turned around and asked, "Do they really use water as fuel?"
"Water?" Stefan and his assistant looked at each other, and then laughed unscrupulously.
Although Lin Neng was puzzled, he still looked at the Germanic scientists who were not old and smiled with a good temper. Finally, the genius scientist explained: "I'm so sorry, this is just a guise to confuse the enemy. I didn't expect to scare you too! Where can I use water as fuel in this world? If that's the case, do you still need to seize oil resources?"
This refuted Lin En speechlessly.
Stefan asked his assistant to bring a model of a disc aircraft. Judging from its appearance, it really made the world curious and confused for many years. In this way, in his own historical time and space, the remnants of the Third Reich were still active for decades after the war, and they were struggling to turn the tables but never got what they wanted?
Unfortunately, no one can answer Lynn's doubt.
Stefan introduced while demonstrating: "Here, it is mainly jet power and rocket power as the supplement. The difference is that we use the 'Coanda effect' and magnetic spiral flight mode to obtain sufficient lift and vector power. The effect is far beyond our initial expectations. The flight speed is far beyond the reach of any known aircraft. The test altitude of unmanned flight has reached 22,000 meters, and the manned flight altitude can reach 18,000 meters in a short period of time. It is impossible for the current air defense weapons of various countries to shoot it down!"
Poor middle school and university conventional physics knowledge is no longer enough to help Lynn understand these. He looked at the model on the table helplessly, turned his head to look at the huge discs with a diameter of twenty or thirty meters, and asked: "I heard before... a normal pilot can only fly it twice at most?"
This topic immediately made Stefan fall from the proud mountain to the bottom of annoyed, and his expression changes so quickly that he can be compared with the comedy master Jin Carrey.
"Compared with many animals in this world, the human body is too fragile. A high-speed dive of Junker-87 can allow the best pilot to defecate unconsciously, and the magnetic spiral flight exceeds the limit of the human body. For this reason, we have lost 4 pilots, oh, it should be said to be 5. The general, Major Salou, ace pilot sent to North America to perform missions, had left us a few days ago. He completed four flights... once training and three missions, which set a new record for the limit of human beings... Oh, may God forgive our sins!"
These guys who were dying against the will of heaven actually believed in God. Lynn was speechless. He also knew that Major Salou was an imperial hero who drove a disc aircraft to attract US air defense artillery around the Amos atomic bomb test base. If he had not endured the pain of life three times, he would not have led the commandos to complete unprecedented missions.
"So, wouldn't the disc that went to Antarctica to conduct bait activities only fly once or twice?" Lin En guessed according to his thoughts.
: "At present, the maximum effective distance for our radio remote control is 40 to 50 kilometers. As long as the disc and the operator do not exceed this distance, there is no need to risk using manned mode. The reason why Major Salou flies continuously is because the starting point is on a submarine located in the Gulf of Mexico. The distance to the destination is more than 1,000 kilometers. There is no way to implement unmanned remote control! Because of the repeated repetition of such tragedies, we really do not want to call the manned flight of the disc "success", and repeatedly asked our superiors to stop manned flight, but..." Stefan shook his head helplessly, not saying anything later.
"Is there a theoretical way to overcome it?" Lynn asked.
"There are some in theory, but in fact our anti-magnetic axis is far from the ideal level, and we cannot determine how much impact the magnetic spiral will have on the human body. These require time and continuous experiments." Stefan seemed very regretful.
Lin Neng thought about it and asked another very important question: "If the performance reaches a mature and stable state, can it load bombs and bomb?"
The genius scientist smiled bitterly: "Every kilogram of load is obvious, the impact on the disk flight performance is evident. If a bomb weighs a ton, I promise, it is not as good as a *** fighter!"
Although the answers that were not optimistic, Lynn firmly believed that as long as the opponent did not understand its true mystery for a day, the existence of the disc aircraft would still have great strategic significance.
Back in the office with a plan for the future, before Lynn could sit on the hot side, the Intelligence Department of the Strategic Staff sent a streamlined information, which excerpted newspapers, media and broadcast content from major countries such as the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France in the past week, as well as the encrypted telegrams that could be deciphered. At the beginning, Lynn had done such seemingly boring and interesting work in the Strategic Staff. Because the commando successfully attacked the Los Amos atomic bomb test base in the United States, the disc aircraft also visited the sacred airspace of the United States of America three times, and the responses in all aspects were very strong.
Multimedia and radio reported within two or three days after the incident. Some analysis and speculation were very close to the facts. In comparison, the official statement of the US government seemed ridiculous. They insisted that the military conducted an air defense exercise in Los Amos. An ammunition storage area of the anti-aircraft artillery unit accidentally caught fire and triggered an accidental explosion, trying to explain what happened in the noisy night in this way. Later, they announced that Dr. Oppenheimer was injured when watching the anti-aircraft artillery drill on site because of this bad accidental explosion, so he could no longer appear in the public's sight in the short term.
Although there are many speculations in the US media and newspapers, the spearhead did not point clearly to the Soviet Union. However, the British seemed too concerned after obtaining the news. They were worried that the Soviets created the incident and stole the core secrets of the atomic bomb. In order to deal with the potential military crisis, they strongly demanded that the government ask the United States for a full set of atomic bomb technology as an ally, so as to help Britain master this extremely strategic super weapon in the shortest possible time. In a deciphered encrypted telegram sent from London to the United States, the British government also clearly instructed itself to send it to the United States diplomatic delegation to strive for the sharing of information on the United States as much as possible. After all, in the later stage of the "Manhattan Project", the British official sent its own nuclear experts to assist in the research and development, and brought the British technical achievements in atomic bomb research since the end of 1939.
