Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

Tank Factory.

"Minister, please look, this is the light tank we copied from the LT-38 tank."

Tian Jinchen said happily, pointing at the light tank running wildly on the experimental field.

"This light tank is exactly the same as the LT-38 tank, except that the machine gun has been replaced with a Taihang Type heavy machine gun."

"very good."

Zhao Tianyang smiled and asked, "How difficult is the production? How many units can be produced in a month?"

"There is almost no difficulty. At the current production speed, we can produce 10 vehicles a month."

Tian Jinchen answered without hesitation.

"Then let's finalize the production!"

Zhao Tianyang thought for a moment and said, "Let's call this tank the Taihang Type 1 Light Tank!"

"Minister, Mr. Lavochkin wants to see you."

Just then, Li Yuncai walked over quickly and spoke in a low voice.

"Lavochkin?"

Zhao Tianyang thought for a moment and said, "Get the car ready. Let's go see what's going on!"

Soon Zhao Tianyang returned to Ningxia, the aircraft factory, from Yan'an.

"Minister, you are finally here!"

Lavochkin was very happy to see Zhao Tianyang.

Ever since he was thrown into the aircraft factory by Zhao Tianyang, Zhao Tianyang has never come to see him once.

Although being trusted is a good thing, for some reason, he always feels like a victim.

"Mr. Lavochkin, I'm sorry I'm so busy, I hope you can understand!"

Zhao Tianyang scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Okay, I understand!"

Lavochkin waved his hand helplessly: "Minister, please follow me. I will show you the results of my work over the past few months!"

A moment later, Lavochkin brought Zhao Tianyang and others to a huge indoor parking lot where three different-looking planes were parked.

"This is a reconnaissance aircraft that I modified based on the Taihang Type 1 transport aircraft. There are five circular camera windows on the entire aircraft, which can effectively observe most of the field of vision."

"This is a modified Taihang-1 bomber, with a button-type bomb rack added. In the future, there will be no need for manual force to push the bombs downwards."

"This is an improved model of the Taihang Type 1 fighter. I installed self-sealing fuel tanks in the wings and strengthened the firepower."

"It is also 82 kilograms lighter, and its speed is estimated to be about 46 kilometers per hour faster than the Taihang Type fighter."

After Lavochkin finished introducing them one by one, Zhao Tianyang looked at the last fighter plane and asked, "Do you have the specific data of this fighter plane?"

"not yet!"

Lavochkin shook his head: "Although we have designed the aerodynamic layout, we don't have a wind tunnel. I dare not let people take off rashly."

"This is easy!"

Zhao Tianyang stretched out his hand: "Bring the design drawings here, I'll help you modify it."

"it is good."

Lavochkin did not hesitate. He had long wanted to see Zhao Tianyang's ability to fly a plane without a wind tunnel, so he immediately took a design drawing.

Zhao Tianyang took a look and realized that this was Laqi!

It’s just that it hasn’t flown in a wind tunnel, so there are some differences in the details and data.

"All right."

An hour later, Zhao Tianyang completed the fine-tuning work and returned the drawings to Lavochkin.

"Produce it according to this blueprint. As long as the data of the produced fighter is the same as the blueprint, you can ask Huang Zhefu to send someone to test it."

Hearing this, Lavochkin took the drawing and looked at it with some doubt. He found that the structure was indeed much better, so maybe it would really work.

"Minister, you are amazing!"

Lavochkin put away the blueprint and joked, "If this really works, I'll draw the blueprint of the airplane and send it to you, and you can make some minor adjustments for me."

"So you think I'm a human-shaped wind tunnel?"

After saying that, Zhao Tianyang glanced around and asked in confusion: "Why don't I see Getkov?"

"He is the director of the newly built No. 1 Aircraft Factory!"

Lavochkin replied.

"Oh~!"

Zhao Tianyang glanced at Lavochkin and suddenly asked, "I don't know, Mr. Lavochkin, have you ever studied helicopters?"

"Know something."

Although he didn't know what Zhao Tianyang meant, Lavochkin answered honestly: "A flying machine that flies on rising air currents."

"Yuriev of our country once proposed the use of a tail rotor to balance the anti-torque and built a prototype in 1911."

"Later, with the emergence of engines with better performance, the helicopter power problem was solved."

"As far as I know, last year, Igor Sikorsky of the United States designed a helicopter called VS-300, which completed its first flight on September 9th."

"It's good to know."

Zhao Tianyang smiled and took out a blueprint from his arms: "This is the helicopter I designed myself."

"I plan to turn the first aircraft factory into a helicopter production factory. Please coordinate with Getkov!"

.............

Yan'an.

"Report."

A domineering man appeared at the door of the majestic man.

"I'm back~!"

The majestic man looked up and saw the person coming. He happily put down his pen, walked out, and welcomed the domineering man in.

"Come in and sit down. You must be exhausted from the journey!"

"Luckily, I took an armored vehicle in Xinjiang and a glider back to Yan'an. I didn't walk much along the way!"

The domineering man said with a smile.

"Hahaha, then you must have been quite comfortable along the way!"

The dignified man picked up a document from the table and handed it over: "But, now that you have come to Yan'an, you won't be so comfortable!"

"The development and planning of the Armored Division?"

The domineering man held the information and asked in confusion: "Don't we have a synthesizer?"

"Why do we need to develop armored divisions?"

"Strictly speaking, a combined-arms division is still an infantry division, and it is only equipped with armored vehicles, so its offensive capabilities are still insufficient."

The dignified man pointed to the information and explained, "The armored division we formed this time is mainly tanks, supplemented by armored vehicles, and the infantry only exists as tank companions."

"I see!"

The domineering man nodded and looked at it carefully.

"Taihang Type 1 light tank, Taihang Type 1 medium tank, Taihang Type 2 medium tank, armored vehicle, self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle."

The domineering man became more and more excited as he looked at it: "I didn't expect it! I've only been in Xinjiang for a short time, and we have added so many new weapons!"

"Haha, the Taihang II medium tank and the self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle haven't come out yet, but they will be soon."

The dignified man smiled and said, "According to Comrade Zhao Tianyang, he will be out in about a month."

"Ah."

The dignified man nodded and asked, "So you called me back this time to let me be the commander of the armored division?"

"Yes."

The majestic man picked up another appointment letter from the table: "The organization has revoked your title of commander-in-chief."

"Next you will go to Baotou and serve as the commander of the Armored Division."

"I obey the organization's orders."

The domineering man took the appointment letter and asked, "I just don't know who will take my place after I leave?"

"Your chief of staff will take over."
