Of course, the United States will not hand over their latest fighter to the Soviets. The P-39 is difficult to operate and belongs to those that the United States does not look up to, so it supports the Soviets. However, in addition to some aircraft in the early stage, in the later stage, because German submarines continue to make trouble at sea, few materials can be transported.

The U.S. Navy uses the latest fighter developed by Walter company for the Navy. At the beginning of development, it is aimed at the fw190 of the German Navy.

This aircraft uses the high-power Pratt Whitney r-2800, with a power of 2000 HP. Even when needed, the engine can output up to 2450 HP through additional water injection device, with incomparable performance.

At the same time, it is also the fastest fighter of the U.S. Navy, with a maximum speed of more than 640 km / h and performance comparable to fw190. In extreme cases, it can soar to more than 700 km / h. It can be said that this aircraft is aimed at the Germans.

In history, the U.S. Navy has another excellent carrier based aircraft F6F wildcat, but this aircraft mainly achieved results in the zero type struggle with island countries, that is, it is a fighter that attaches importance to medium and low altitude, while F4U pirates are a fighter that attaches importance to high altitude.

The ceiling for pirates is as high as 1260, which is already the limit for German bombers. The United States will never let the tragedy of the Soviet Union repeat itself. At the same time, if further optimized, the flying altitude of this fighter can be higher.

From the appearance, the wing of the inverted seagull is one of its prominent features. This way can make the landing gear shorter and facilitate the deployment on the aircraft carrier. At the same time, it also leads to the disadvantage that it is not easy for the pilot to see the landing gear.

Moreover, if the nose is too long, the forward vision will be greatly limited( I really don't understand. How can a fighter with an air-cooled engine have such a long nose like a liquid cooled engine?)

In any case, the equipment of this fighter has greatly increased the confidence of the US Navy, as long as they have enough aircraft carriers to fight the Germans in the Atlantic.

"Today is our first day of flight." The flight captain lectured in front: "we all know that the Germans are about to conquer Moscow. We don't have much time left. Even if the Germans have tens of thousands of warships, we won't be afraid. God will bless our land. We firmly believe that justice will prevail!"

"Today, we mainly carry out takeoff and landing training. First, the squadron captain will fly first."

Roy, wearing a full set of navy flying clothes, ran into his own fighter. When he started the engine, his heart was excited with the surging engine.

Anyone who loves flying will not resist the temptation of advanced aircraft. This is why although future generations make money by opening civil aviation, elite pilots still stay in the fighter force.

Roy's era of naval aviation began.

Institute of physical technology, Moscow.

With the approach of the Germans, many institutions in Moscow have begun to move towards the Ural Mountain. There have gathered a large number of industries, such as the aircraft design bureau, the light weapons design bureau in Tula and more important tank factories, which have been moved to the Ural Mountain and began to prepare for production.

The Institute of physical technology began planning to move to the Ural Mountains as early as a month ago, but their relocation is not as fast as those of the weapons industry.

The reason is simple.

Those weapons manufacturing industries are related to whether they can win the war. Even if Moscow is lost, as long as the industry is still there and can continuously manufacture all kinds of weapons, the Soviet still has hope. If the industry is lost, can't make weapons and unarmed soldiers bite the Germans with their teeth?

The load of railway transportation has reached the maximum. Countless trains shuttle across the vast land of the Soviet Union every day, transporting industrial equipment.

The Institute of physical technology was dragged to the end.

A middle-aged man stood on the window of the Research Institute and looked out. At this time, his heart was full of anxiety.

Igor vasiliyevich Kurchatov, the leader of Soviet nuclear physics research, created the Soviet's first nuclear weapon in later generations under his leadership.

Throughout the 1930s, nuclear physics was still in its infancy. Historically, in 1932, German physicist Heisenberg revealed the principle that the atomic nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons. In 1938, German scientist Otto Hahn and his assistant strasman further discovered that when the meson collides with the uranium nucleus, based on the experiment of French scientist Mrs. Julio Curie, A uranium nucleus can split into two lighter nuclei after absorbing a neutron. In this process, the mass is lost, thus releasing huge energy. This is the world-famous nuclear fission reaction.

Now, due to the passage of Shrek, these discoveries have been made in the laboratory a few years ago. At the same time, they have become extremely confidential projects. The outside world does not know any progress in nuclear physics.

However, in this case, Kurchatov started from scratch in 1934 and built a proton accelerator in his own research institute. This test played an important role in promoting the construction of the first cyclotron by the Soviet Union.

However, the overall situation was unfavorable to him, and the vigorous cleaning campaign began.

At the regular meeting of the Academy of Sciences just two years ago, Kurchatov and one of his colleagues were attacked for no reason. Officials accused him of wasting state funds on "meaningless" nuclear physics.

If it hadn't been for the protection of his teacher joffy, he might have been shot.

Just last year, Kurchatov, who continued his research under pressure, released the research results of chain nuclear reaction: nuclear fission can produce huge energy and will play an inestimable role in the development and destruction of the world.

At the beginning of this year, he published a report on spontaneous fission of uranium and wrote to Stalin on the necessity and Prospect of studying atomic nucleus.

It is said that the above authorities may approve his report, but with the beginning of the patriotic war, his research institute has not allocated money for a long time, and his research has been interrupted.

We all know that when the patriotic war was at its most tense, how could the Soviet Union allocate funds to study such so-called nuclear weapons that we didn't know when they would be realized?

Kurchatov in history, at this time, can only shelve nuclear research and run to the Black Sea fleet for ship demagnetization.

At this time, standing in front of the window, Kurchatov was lonely. He didn't know that a new door had appeared in front of him. If he walked past, he would become a person standing at the peak of the scientific community of nuclear physics.
