Canteen System Assistance Notes

I would also like to trouble Mr. Hou to give me some advice.

"However, whether you decide to expand the Hou's alkali production line or join the research on urea synthesis, we will fully support you.

However, I personally still hope that you will join the research and development of urea synthesis process.

go with. "

Then, Mr. Hou Qirong was completely "led astray" by the consultant named Liu.

Through that book-like document, he learned about a radically different approach to industrializing urea synthesis. This approach, leveraging both soft and hard methods, essentially solved two unresolved challenges in traditional urea synthesis: recycling unreacted raw materials and ensuring the core equipment withstands highly corrosive environments. The remaining steps were essentially just streamlining the specific process and adjusting the actual parameters.

Once Hou Qirong was completely captivated by this highly practical process, he suddenly discovered some things that seemed to have been planned. For example, how come the vacant lot next to the ammonia plant seemed to be just the right size?

How come there is only so much installed capacity left at the nearby thermal power plant?

How come the carbon dioxide and nitrogen sources needed for urea synthesis, and the oxygen source for corrosion mitigation, are found in other nearby factories or in the by-products of the process itself?

Even the stainless steel materials and manufacturing capabilities for the core reactors and pipelines seemed... seemed to be found in the border areas - a newly developed high-chromium stainless steel was obtained through the alloy furnace in the steel consortium, and corrosion-resistant seamless pipes were obtained through the seamless pipe factory or the artillery factory... In short, everything seemed "just" enough, "just" enough for Hou Qirong to put together several sets of small-scale trial production equipment for experiments.

He was surprised at first, then a little skeptical, and then a little moved with emotion and a feeling of "As expected." With the start of construction of the two pilot urea synthesis towers, this mixed feeling gave way to excitement. Large-scale, low-cost urea synthesis, a hurdle that had once stood in the way of European and American chemical giants, was about to be overcome in his own hands, like building blocks.

The route is clear, and all that remains is the specific work, which will likely lead to ultimate success - this is a great motivation for a Chinese chemical practitioner who is struggling: starting in 1941, Hou Qirong has devoted himself to the research and development of the urea synthesis industry.

After more than six months of construction, two sets of "aqueous solution full-circulation" urea production equipment, each with its own distinct principles and processes, were successfully put into production and entered the pilot production phase. Although one set proved inferior to the other in terms of yield and cost after more than six months of trial operation, and its limited cost reduction led to its elimination without further modification, these two small pilot lines, each with an annual capacity of 500 tons of urea, have still enabled several cooperatives and model rural communities surrounding the plant to enjoy bumper wheat and corn harvests.

考虑有效氮对作物增产效率、吸收率、转化率等因素，1公斤尿素基本能够变为6.8公斤、5.4公斤和6.4公斤的水稻、小麦或者玉米:那么即便是实验装置的产能，也能够让解放区至少获得5万余吨额外的粮食。

The electricity, coal, and synthetic ammonia production capacity reserved specifically for urea production is sufficient to allow the border region to build a 5-ton/year aqueous solution full-circulation urea production line. This means that relying solely on this newly produced fertilizer, the border region can once again increase grain production by over 20 tons!

It’s all fine grains!

"...it's equipment for a 5-ton factory. Much of it exceeds our current manufacturing capacity. We can only order it from abroad, Mr. Hou."

Huang Jingzhai, Chairman of the Central Industrial Committee, stood beside the rumbling urea plant, looking at the cooperative tractors waiting with their delivery slips.

The team scratched their heads and said, "It is this 5000-ton pilot equipment...Mr. Hou, you said

Is it worth promoting as a small fertilizer plant after improvements?"

"This...may be a bit difficult. After all, although urea has good fertilizer efficiency, the equipment operates at high pressure and needs to be operated at both pressure and decompression, which not only increases the construction cost but also

It is also difficult to train workers - the small ammonium carbonate plant we have now is quite good.

The cost is right, it can be built nearby and used nearby, and it can also increase food production."

Hou Qirong turned his gaze away from the fertilizer granulation tower, as if he were looking away from his own daughter. "At the time, Consultant Liu had the same opinion. He felt that small fertilizer plants were mainly used to solve the problem of availability. Once we stabilize here and have the conditions, it would be better to build a large fertilizer plant with centralized production: not only would the production efficiency be high, but the factory benefits would also be good."

"I wonder if this 5-ton plant can be completed in the next few years," Huang Jingzhai said suddenly with emotion. "I don't know how much longer the Japanese can hold out."

A bustle erupted around them. Workers wearing protective masks at the prilling tower wheeled out a cart of red and blue snakeskin bags from the workshop. The cooperative driver at the front cheered and quickly called for several members to help. They quickly loaded the urea onto the tractor truck, then stepped in front and began cranking the handle.

"Yes... The Japanese invaders are still entrenched on our Chinese territory, and we can't build factories or develop the country freely. To develop the chemical industry, we must first recover the lost territory and drive out the invaders." Hou Qirong nodded and added.

The two stopped talking and started thinking about their own things.

In the distance, the driver successfully started the engine of the tractor. The restless single-cylinder diesel engine spewed out a puff of black smoke, and then he turned to the factory gate with the freshly made urea and several happy members, and rushed to their lives.

Chapter 767: Intro (3) Goose Transport Ship

"I'm 90% or even 100% craving for noodles, Chinese noodles."

"Me too. I just realized now that rice noodles made from Indian rice are as bad as wine from Australia." "Why, both of you, doesn't this rice noodles taste amazing? It's a million times better than a corned beef sandwich."

Following this question, aboard the whaling carrier Pandaria, the flagship of the Eighth Route Army's Indian Ocean Gulf of Aden Squadron, former Fleet Vice Admiral Major Jimeos Clayden and Fleet Navigation Elder Captain Haddock turned their heads toward another naval officer in the dining room.

Even Captain Chen Baiqing, who was drinking hot fermented glutinous rice wine, turned his head with a look of disbelief. This made the gentleman who was stirring the beef noodle soup with a fork look puzzled and confused.

"My dear Captain, the difference between Chinese rice soup and Indian rice soup is like the difference between American English and the English we speak." Major Clayton considered his words, "unless you think there are French people who hate boasting, Dutch people who are generous, Belgians who are imaginative, and Germans who are flexible and adaptable.

"Otherwise, the gap between Indian and Chinese rice noodles would be too big to ignore."

puff....

Captain Chen Baiqing's fermented glutinous rice wine spurted out, and Navigator Haddock laughed so hard that he almost couldn't catch his flat kettle of rum. The 46-year-old middle-aged man, Colonel Mr. Frederick Johnny Walker of the British Navy and anti-submarine hunter, spread his hands without "grace" and continued to cut large pieces of braised beef with a knife and fork and put them into his mouth.

"Oh, that's all right—it's a million times better than a corned beef sandwich."

However, at this moment, Captain Chen Baiqing received a report from the sailors. He took a look at it, put away the fermented glutinous rice in front of him, and turned to report to Johnny Walker.

Captain Walker, we have entered the territorial waters of Goa. The boys have just hoisted the Portuguese and Turkish flags on the mast and stern - we are now the Aziaki, a transport ship coming from Turkey to Goa.

The Eighth Route Army's fleet in the Aden region of the Indian Ocean made considerable progress.

After the "Brothel Chase" in early 1941, this small squadron left its name in the history of naval warfare in World War II. After handing over the prisoners to the British, the "Pandaria" which was hit by one bullet and the "Eighth Street" and "Shanwei" which were hit by some 20-gun shells were repaired and improved in India. The cold storage on the ship was repaired, and the 12.7mm Vickers machine guns that were of little use on the ship were replaced with quadruple "R-bang" guns and Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns.

There is no way. Outside the waters around the United States, the 40 Bofors is a scarce item.

The squadron subsequently participated in the Battle of Madagascar and logistical support for the Battle of El Alamein, effectively participating in the Allied conflict on an overseas battlefield. During this time, captured Italian fast transports, the hospital ship "Rambu IV," the Norwegian tanker "Katie Brufeger," and two "Flower"-class frigates joined the squadron, providing new vessels for the crews undergoing dual-post training aboard the Eighth Route Army's "old three ships."

However, the squadron at this time still did not meet the standards of a proper "British and American naval squadron." With only four armed fast transports, one tanker, and two frigates or armed fishing boats, the Eighth Route Army still lacked what could be called a main battleship of the squadron.

This situation did not improve until 1942, when the Eighth Route Army officially became a force and sat down at the conference table with the Allied powers.

According to the agreement with the United States and France, between mid-1943 and 1944, three C2 standard freighters modified with lateral supply equipment, two light cruisers and one escort aircraft carrier will join the squadron; and according to the consultations between the Eighth Route Army and Canada and the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth countries will deliver an additional three "Jianghe" class frigates, four "Hunting" class escort destroyers and one Black Swan Satin destroyer before 1944, so that the size of this squadron will reach the basic scale, capable of carrying out tasks such as convoy escort, aircraft transportation, personnel and material supply, and participating in formal naval battles.

Even for such a small fleet, the British Eastern Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet actually quarreled over its command.

Because according to geographical divisions, the Eighth Route Army's Aden Squadron operating on the east coast of Africa should be under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Fleet; but considering most military missions, the Eighth Route Army, which often went to Alexandria to sell coconuts, beer and frozen meat, and even went to Turkey to transport goods under the flag of a third country, should obviously be deployed under the Mediterranean Fleet. This situation was not resolved until the British Naval Command sent a "Sea Dog" commander, Colonel Frederick Johnny Walker, and defined "the Chinese are fighting in the Far East", which was considered to be the end of the dispute.

The Eighth Route Army respected this British colonel who fought from World War I to World War II.

He did not have the inexplicable arrogance and strange sense of superiority of most British officers. He did not care that there was no officers' dining room on these Chinese ships, nor did he care that these Eighth Route Navy officers and the other two British officers had no airs of being officials at all. Instead, it was the staff brought by Colonel Johnny who protested and demanded at least a separate set of wooden tables and chairs in the dining room.

He also possessed exceptional professional skills. Upon arrival at the fleet, despite being quite demanding and unsympathetic during training, he was otherwise able to get along well with the communists. It can be said that Captain Johnny played a significant role in helping the Eighth Route Army Navy learn the tactics of regular naval formations.

However, what the Pandaria was doing now had nothing to do with regular naval formation operations. This huge armed whaling mother ship now used wooden boards, tarpaulins and prefabricated parts to cover the ship's main guns, anti-aircraft guns and depth charge launchers, replaced the ship's name and national flag, and even returned the seaplanes on the catapult to the hangar: all of this was to make her look like another 1-ton Turkish oil and water bulk carrier.

"We visually observed the port pilot vessel approaching and the other party had already issued a light signal."

Well done, boys! From now on, we Englishmen need to get the hell out of here—… Colonel Johnny glanced at his watch and nodded. He waved to a group of people at the other end of the restaurant and shouted, "Old wild geese of Calcutta! Get ready! It's time to go to work!"

"Okay, sir. Although you shouldn't give us orders, we are still willing to follow your instructions."

At the other end of the restaurant, a group of old British men in plaid beach shirts and canvas slacks, but wearing Chinese-style rifle chest mounts, stood up. They nodded to Colonel Johnny, then looked at the unfinished, makeshift beef rice noodles on the table with a hint of regret, and slipped out of the restaurant in an orderly manner.

Together with several British commanders on board, they followed the guidance of the Chinese crew and went to the deep compartment of the cabin, where they needed to change out of any clothing and accessories that could identify them as British naval personnel and remain hidden so as not to be discovered by anyone.

"What's on our ship? Ah! Walnuts, hazelnuts, dried figs, dried pistachios, olive oil, and beer! Dried fruits from Istanbul, olive oil from Greece, and IPA beer!" "Armament? None! Aside from kitchen knives and ritual daggers used for ancestor worship, you won't find anything else if you check casually."

"We're the completely harmless neutral freighter, the Aziaki—and we even have an ice cream maker on board. Authentic Turkish ice cream! Would you like some?"

Navigator Haddock had completed his disguise, donning a beard and a captain's uniform, transforming himself into a British-born South African captain employed by a Turkish shipowner but with a long history of trading in the eastern Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean; Lieutenant General Jimeos Clayton, a former auditor, had transformed himself into a shrewd and harsh accountant from Gibraltar, arguing with the pilot over the relevant port entry procedures; and Chen Baiqing, China's first ocean-going captain who was fluent in multiple languages, took on the role of a Chinese first mate, a common sight in the Indian Ocean at that time. He spoke loudly in Cantonese and directed the group of "submissive" sailors to prepare anchors, prepare boats, and so on.

Because the Pandaria had frequently docked at ports along the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean coast under other nationalities and identities, and the Aziaki's identity could be traced back to its registered ship number and hired shipowner, it was an officially endorsed "good guy." Therefore, the Goan pilot, carrying two beers and with a mouth full of butter, quickly completed a pretentious inspection of the entire ship and announced that everything was normal, and the Aziaki could enter the port.

The "Pandaria", oh no, the "Aziaki" successfully anchored in the outer harbor of Goa Port.

Small barges hired by shipping companies began berthing with the whaling mother ship, receiving various dried fruits and beer hoisted by the ship's cranes. They then connected pipelines to extract olive oil from the refrigerated tanks and transported it to the ship's owner on shore. The Chinese crew, led by the first mate, also disembarked at the port and began their usual "delightful life" for ocean-going sailors. They drank and chatted in the bar, even renting it out, and even used the kitchen to make their own rice noodles. It felt like a perfectly normal docking.

The other "South Africans" and "Spaniards working in Gibraltar" on the ship were as racist as ever. They seemed to never move around with the yellow crew members. Instead, they took a few personal servants to the high-end consumption areas and spent money in some pink-lit red-light places. Previously, they met several German captains, first mates, and navigators stranded in the area due to the war. Because the two sides had a good chat, the South African captain generously gave everyone some money and invited them to "have fun."

But no one knew that as night fell, two motorboats quietly lowered from the side of the Pandaria assault ship, the Aziaki*. Aboard the boats, a dozen middle-aged British veterans fumbled with their AR-1 submachine guns in waterproof bags and determined their targets by the moonlight.

In the cargo hold of the Pandaria, in addition to dried fruits, olive oil and beer, there was also a group of "Wild Goose Commandos".

"We previously tested the direction-finding equipment and found that the transmitting station was on the German freighter Ehrenfels, which is anchored at berth 9. This should be your target this time." "No, no, no, Mr. Zhong, it's 'our' target."

Captain Frederick Johnny Walker shook his head. "Its communications room has a radio installed, and it hasn't been completely dismantled in accordance with the neutral detention regulations. The Germans are using it to send merchant ship schedules to their submarine fleet. And the German submarine fleet could also attack the ships transporting supplies for you—so, we must destroy that radio!"

"It's a pity that Goa Port is a neutral port. Our Marines can't take action directly, and neither can your British Navy. We can only use this kind of sneaky... cough, covert means to let retired veterans who are not officially active in the army come forward to act.

war. "

On the Pandaria, China's "acting combat captain" Zhong Lihua shook his head. No matter from which angle he thought about it, he still felt that the British plan was too risky.

"Sir, I prefer to call it 'flexible and convenient special means'."

A leading British veteran smiled, patted the submachine gun magazine stuck in his chest, and said,

"Rest assured, Commanders. We will defeat those Germans reveling in the brothel just as we did the High Seas Fleet, and then return to the ship quietly and peacefully at the appointed time." "I hope there'll still be some delicious 'Chinese noodles' in the dining room to warm us up by then. Thank you."

Chapter 768: Introduction (4) Shirai-san's Egg Basket

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Always be prepared for both situations and have a backup plan.

This was one of Mr. Shirai Yukiyuki's long-held beliefs, and he consistently adhered to them. From the moment he arrived in Vietnam, Shirai believed that this cautious yet not conservative approach, leaving room for error but not going overboard, would allow him, the "deep sea," to excel.

In fact, he did a very good job in this position - both the CCP's intelligence front and the Japanese had a high opinion of him.

The first task to be completed was to cooperate with comrades from the fraternal party in Malaya to deal with Wright, an agent planted by the British in the party organization.

In early 1942, before Singapore was occupied by the Japanese army, this secret agent secretary, who had served as a French spy during the French occupation and later worked for the British, and led the British police to raid the Malayan Communist Party meeting in 1940, embezzled a large amount of funds from the Malayan Communist Party, exchanged them for gold and fled to Saigon, where he was subsequently captured by Japanese intelligence personnel under Shirai.

Afterwards, the expected "loyalty and unyieldingness" of the Communists did not appear. As soon as Wight was interrogated, he quickly surrendered to the Japanese army. He told the people in the Shirai Agency that he could use his position as the secretary of the Malayan Communist Party to convene a meeting of the executive committee members of the Malayan Communist Party and cooperate with the Japanese army to capture these "red bandits".

At this point, Shirai Yukiyuki could have easily eliminated Wwight, using the common practice of lynching within Japanese intelligence organizations, or through his own trusted underlings within the organization, to prevent future trouble. However, ever cautious, Shirai opted to use his "cane radio" to report the matter to his superiors, rather than resorting to brutal execution.

He displayed the cunning expected of a Japanese intelligence chief. After using various tactics to teach Wight a lesson and confirming the authenticity of his "intelligence," Shirai followed Wight's instructions and issued a secret message, demanding that the CPM executive committee members still active in Southeast Asia travel to Singapore to convene an executive committee meeting on a designated date. Shirai personally led the Special High Police and the Army to capture them.

Of course, the Malayan Communist Party, having already received the news, did not show up. They only witnessed and filmed the "grand spectacle" of Wight and his Japanese troops surrounding the meeting site, only to find nothing, witnessed by Chen Qingshan, a special commissioner of the Chinese Communist Party and head of the Organization Department of the Political Department of the Qiongya People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Independent Column.

Subsequently, the Executive Committee of the Malayan Communist Party, headed by Executive Committee member Chen Ping, gathered all the Executive Committee members who could be contacted and held a meeting in another hidden location. They passed a resolution to conduct a thorough investigation and disposal of Wight's betrayal and threat to the Central Committee of the Malayan Communist Party, and authorized members of the fraternal parties to "eliminate" Wright, the former secretary of the Malayan Communist Party, traitor and spy.

Naturally, the task fell to Communist Party member Shirai Yukiyuki. Of course, as a deep-sea undercover agent and "chief of Japanese military intelligence," Shirai couldn't and didn't need to personally take action. He simply expressed his rage and handed over the "fake surrender" to the Japanese military police in Singapore, who had "deceived the Imperial Army and used a code to transmit information to the Malayan Communist Party bandits in Singapore to evacuate." He also assigned a stationed officer to follow up on the matter.

Following the Japanese logic of "reading the air", the British agent Wright, who had humiliated Lord Shirai, soon lost his life at the Japanese military police headquarters in Singapore.

However, simply helping allies eliminate traitors might leave a hidden legacy for Shirai Yukiyuki, but it wouldn't make him a "legend" worthy of his name. To continue expanding his influence within the Japanese navy and army, developing his own intelligence network and gaining access to more information and higher authority, Shirai Yukiyuki needed to develop his skills in other areas.

So, he had to "do some side job".

Officially the head of the East Asia Shipping branch, with the backing of a "national policy company" and a "Special Letter of Appreciation" from the Chief of the General Staff, and with plenty of cash in his pocket, Shirai Yukiyuki found it convenient to start a side business. From the end of 40 to 43, through collaboration with business partners in Wan Chai, China, his side business flourished.

For example, attempts to cultivate rubber in Qiongzhou Island, China, have yielded fruitful results.

After purchasing Hevea brasiliensis seedlings at low prices in Southeast Asia, the officials of Shirai Trading Company effectively introduced the species to Qiongzhou Island. Wielding an order and letter of introduction signed by Shirai Yukiyuki, they partnered with Sumitomo, a chaebol with limited knowledge of the rubber industry but eager to capitalize on it, to establish Qiongzhou Rubber Co., Ltd.

Although the Sumitomo Group holds a controlling stake in this trading company, all of its rubber-related businesses were directly acquired from Dunlop's Japanese operations. Therefore, the Sumitomo Group has no experience in operating rubber plantations. Instead, Shirai Trading Company, which owns the Malayan plantation team, is able to hold the actual say.

With the cooperation of the Southern Army, they acquired a large area of ​​land in Nada Town, Dan County, Qiongzhou Island, and began constructing water conservancy facilities. To balance the influence of the army, Shirai also tactfully recruited Hatoyama Ichiro, a son-in-law of the Ishibashi family and a naval officer, to manage the rubber plantation.

With the problems at the top solved, the lower levels became much freer to act. Shirai Trading Company was able to establish its own independent kingdom in Dan County, Qiongzhou Island. They went deep into the mountains to "capture laborers" and "brutally abducted" a wave of laborers to work on the plantations. However, because caring for saplings and harvesting rubber is very physically demanding and requires specialized skills, and the working environment on Qiongzhou Island is poor, Japanese workers could not withstand such an environment. Therefore, Shirai ordered that all the forcibly conscripted laborers receive skills training, provide them with good food, and provide them with medical treatment as a "friendly" act.

These "workers" were surprisingly "obedient" and were "deeply grateful" for the Imperial Army's preferential treatment. In order to guard against the surrounding Nationalist and Communist armies, they even actively requested the organization of the "Liangya People's Self-Defense Army" to protect the Imperial Army's property. After they received weapons and equipment, the security conditions around Dan County actually improved a lot. The Nationalist and Communist guerrillas were no longer allowed to operate in the surrounding area and cause damage to the Imperial Empire's cause. If everything went well, Japanese agronomists estimated that by around 1948, these rubber trees could be harvested and contribute to the Imperial Empire's cause of common prosperity.

Apart from the fact that the Qiongya People's Self-Defense Force trains diligently, fights frequently, consumes a lot of bullets, and has a large loss of firearms, which requires frequent replenishment, this is really a good thing!

For example, to provide his "workers" with food that would last for a long time, Shirai Yukiyuki had the ingenious idea of ​​developing instant food. Under his direction, the Shirai Agency established the "He Ziwei" Convenient Food Company in Hanoi, which used locally grown Vietnamese rice and a low-pressure drying method to produce "instant rice noodles."

This convenience food is packaged in waxed paper or tinplate cans, pre-filled with seasoning powder and dry broth, and is very convenient to eat by just mixing it with hot water. The three flavors of Tom Yum Goong, pepper pork, and Japanese curry are very effective in boosting appetite and relieving fatigue in the hot Southeast Asia. Rice noodles, as a carrier, are a long-standing dietary tradition in southern China and Southeast Asia, and are widely loved by customers.

For a time, this rice noodle was widely sold in Vietnam, Malaya, and Indonesia (without the pork flavor), generating significant profits. It even appeared in Japan, Guangdong Province in China, and Shanghai. It was even purchased by the Japanese Army and sent to Southeast Asia as part of its rations. However, with changing maritime transport conditions, most of the "He Zi Wei" instant rice noodles ended up on the seabed during their journey to Southeast Asia, becoming a snack for marine fish.

By the end of the war, this product, which was originally not very popular in the Japanese market - the Japanese believed that rice could only be used to cook white rice - became one of the few supplies that could be transported to Japan by sea. It became a necessity for many people struggling to survive on the brink of starvation, and was even sold at a sky-high price of "one bag per pack" on the black market.

However, Shirai is not satisfied with this.

Through "souvenirs", intelligence, rubber plantations and instant rice noodles, Shirai was able to grasp the schedules of all Japanese military and civilian ships passing through Vietnam and even the Malayan defense zone, as well as the army's sea transportation and mobilization intelligence. However, as the highest-level "deep sea" in the CCP's Nanyang intelligence network, he also hoped to obtain some naval intelligence.

Especially the information about the transport fleet escorted by the Japanese Navy.

In 1941, after communicating with the intelligence front through the usual means of "cane sending" and "code language monitoring", Shirai Yukiyuki chose the electronics field as a breakthrough.

Following a tip from the central government, he acquired a set of electron tube production equipment from a freight forwarder in Vietnam, acquired from Shanghai, China. This equipment, likely originally used to produce neon bulbs, had been modified to produce standard electron tubes. Using this equipment as a foundation, he established the Saigon Telecommunications Industry Co., Ltd. in Saigon, Vietnam.

This facility could produce electron tubes, which were only mediocre in the Allied camp, but excellent in the Axis camp. These tubes were supplied to the Japanese Navy and Army radio stations in Southeast Asia as spare parts. These tubes indeed improved the attitude of the Navy officers who had once mocked Shirai as the "Spider of Annam" towards him.

However, this alone was not enough to allow him to enter the navy's "circle".

At this time, good news suddenly arrived from the Saigon Communications Industry Corporation: a breakthrough had been achieved in replicating the British M-type searchlight radar previously delivered to the factory by the army. Around May 1942, the factory's overseas Chinese technicians and workers had produced a radar based on the same principle. Although larger and more energy-intensive than the British original, it was capable of tracking small groups of low- and medium-altitude aircraft at a range of approximately 30 kilometers. Its continuous wave transmission and S-band transmission capabilities also enabled it to determine the angular velocity and heading of aerial targets within 15 kilometers.

Although this radar's ability to detect sea surface targets is terrible, during sea tests using explosives, the factory's outsourced Japanese technician Masaru Ibuka discovered that water columns splashing on the sea surface can also trigger the radar's echo indication.

Hmm...this is interesting.

Chapter 769: Intro () Comrade Hammer Pro Max

A soldier lay on the ground.

His legs were "severely injured" and he was "unable to move any further", so he could only lie in a shallow pit on the ground like a zombie. In the smoke-filled battlefield, such a shallow pit could hardly provide him with much cover, so he could only shrink into the pit for some protection.

At this moment, a vicious Japanese "97 medium-sized war" was rumbling towards him.
