Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

After everyone finished their conversation, Liu Guifu continued to take Zeng Jiwen and his party to see the situation in the Huangyadong Military Factory.

Finally at night, the group arrived at the final destination.

The night was deep, and the mountains of Huangyadong were outlined in silver by the bright moonlight.

Between the towering stone walls, a hidden cave is brightly lit and the roar of machine tools is heard everywhere.

This is their military region's current secret research and development base, and also one of the most core technical research institutes of their Eighth Route Army's entire anti-Japanese war front.

When Zeng Jiwen and his team stepped into the cave, they were shocked by the heat waves and the roar of machines.

The workers were busy in front of various precision instruments, debugging the new equipment with great concentration.

A middle-aged man came up quickly, his face stained with oil, but his eyes were filled with determination.

"Secretary Zeng, comrades, welcome to Room 062!"

After Wang Ning arrived at the front line, radar was a cutting-edge confidential technology at that time.

For this purpose, Zeng Jiwen set up a research laboratory specifically for radar research under the Taihang Military Factory, code-named 062.

At the beginning, I specialized in some theoretical and equipment manufacturing work.

When the full support began in the north, Room 062 moved to a secluded mountain near Huangyadong.

"Wang Ning, the commander and his men are here.

Mainly, I want to see the progress of radar research."

Liu Guifu smiled slightly, glanced at the busy workers in the workshop, and took the initiative to speak to Wang Ning.

Wang Ning nodded and turned his gaze to the researchers beside him. "Division Commander, Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, come in and let's talk while we walk."

As a group of people entered the workshop.

"Secretary Zeng, Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, we have made significant progress in our radar research.

The technology, which was originally expected to be realized the year after next, has now entered the experimental assembly stage ahead of schedule with the help of North Face experts."

Zeng Jiwen and Zhou Xi looked at each other, surprise flashing in their eyes.

"What is the specific situation?" Zeng Jiwen asked.

As Wang Ning walked forward, he explained, "What we are currently testing is the early warning radar, which is mainly used to monitor enemy movements.

One of the core components of the radar is the magnetron, which was originally our biggest challenge.

But not long ago, the technical equipment support provided by The North Face enabled us to achieve a breakthrough in the design of electron tubes.”

When I walked into the experimental area, I saw several technicians surrounding a tall instrument to carry out the final debugging.

The instrument housing has basically taken shape, and the dials and knobs on it show a simple and practical design style.

"We have conducted several tests, and the radar's detection range is currently around fifty kilometers."

Wang Ning patted the device lightly with his hand. "Currently, many countries are researching this technology, and we should be in the first echelon."

"That's great!" Zeng Jiwen clenched his fists excitedly.

A smile appeared on Wang Ning's face.

"We have to thank you, Commander, for importing all kinds of equipment and materials for us. Together with the experts in this field from the north, we have been able to make such rapid progress."

"Does the radar have actual combat capabilities now?" Wang Zhuo asked hurriedly.

"It can be used in theory, but the signal processing system still needs to be further improved and the anti-interference capability needs to be increased."

Wang Ning answered seriously.

"Also, power supply and device miniaturization are still issues we need to address."

“There will always be difficulties, but you have already created miracles.”

Zeng Jiwen said firmly, "Next, we will fully support your research work to ensure that the radar can be put into the battlefield as soon as possible.

Don't worry, the prototype is out and practical application will be available soon.

After all, not many countries are equipped with it now, except for the other side of the ocean.

Although the Japanese army is still there, it is estimated that they are about the same size as us, and they are on the navy side.
