Chapter 185 Flowers bloom together
Li Yunlong's blood boiled as he listened to these few plain words, which sounded deafening to his ears.
Driving out the Japanese invaders and achieving national independence are only the foundation.
If China does not quickly improve its comprehensive national strength, it will eventually be trampled upon by the great powers again, and the Chinese people will be enslaved again.
"Chief of Staff Wang, can you please take out your reward?"
As they were talking, the sound of a car rumbling was heard at the entrance of the Academy of Sciences auditorium.
"Professor Tang, let's go out and take a look!"
Tang Feifan returned the gold to the soldier in charge of awarding the prizes, then followed him out suspiciously.
More than a dozen large trucks covered with canvas were parked in front of the door of the auditorium. The tires were flattened, and it seemed that the trucks were loaded with a lot of things.
"Reveal!"
The soldiers of the transport battalion unveiled the canvas, revealing more than a dozen trucks loaded with penicillin production equipment and an advanced biological laboratory.
"Chief of Staff Wang, what is this?"
Wang Meng didn't say much and handed the penicillin production line information and biological laboratory instructions to Tang Feifan.
When Tang Feifan saw the cover, his expression became exaggerated. He read two pages, then climbed onto the truck in a panic and compared the books one by one.
In the end, he was standing on the truck, crying and laughing.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect we have such advanced equipment! I, Tang Feifan, swear to heaven that within ten years, Chinese biotechnology will catch up with the West!"
People from other research institutes who were watching also understood that this was a reward for the Institute of Biology.
"Professor Tang, and all my colleagues. I, Wang Meng, would like to thank you all for your outstanding contributions to China. Today, we have provided the Institute of Biology with a penicillin production line and a state-of-the-art biological laboratory!"
"What I want to tell you is that as long as the request is helpful to scientific research, you can ask it. However, between wanting and getting, there is another word: do it!"
Wang Meng paused and looked at these mainstays of China's scientific community.
"Professor Tang received this reward because he has made achievements and mastered the penicillin extraction technology! It was not intentional that we didn't give it to them before, but we didn't have the scientific accumulation. If we gave them these equipment, they would be nothing but junk!"
All the scientists present nodded frequently. How could they not understand such a simple truth?
Tang Feifan has now stated that he wants to achieve mass production of penicillin within three months and then develop more biological products.
"Professor Tang, if your penicillin production line can be put into operation sooner, we can use the penicillin to exchange for foreign exchange and gold to help the development of our other research institutes!"
Wang Meng then asked all the great masters to speed up the research work on radar, howitzers and aircraft.
These equipments are all ready-made. The first step is to dismantle them all, conduct reverse research and development, and then iterate and upgrade them on this basis, striving to develop independently developed self-propelled artillery, jet aircraft and phased array radars.
Following the example of the Institute of Biology, various institutes of the Academy of Sciences also accelerated their own research and, with the financial support of Li Yunlong, recruited many young researchers.
Another month passed, and it was September 1942.
Pingshun Military Airport was officially completed. Lu Tianlong and others finally bid farewell to the field airport that was covered in dust on sunny days and mud on rainy days, and moved to the runway with a concrete surface.
Led by the commander of the independent column's aviation division, Lu Tianlong, the commander of the first squadron, Huang Rongfa, and the commander of the second squadron, Xu Gun, they moved thirty training planes from the field airport to the new airport.
Thirty planes landed steadily on the runway and slid into the hangar.
Lu Tianlong, Huang Rongfa and Xu Gun trotted up to Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wang Meng and Lin Shubing.
"Reporting to all the leaders, the independent column aviation division has completed the transfer and is now preparing to begin F6F Hellcat fighter formation training!"
Li Yunlong couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the sixty planes neatly arranged in the hangar.
"do it according to plan!"
Lu Tianlong and the other two saluted, then boarded the plane, took off one after another with their respective squadrons, and began formation training.
Looking at the planes in the sky, Li Yunlong exclaimed that they smelled so good that he was almost dizzy.
"Mengzi, how is the progress at Qingyang Airport?"
"After Professor Shu Xingbei dismantled the radar at Pingshun Airport, he quickly built another one, and there were no problems with the equipment.
In addition, the ground staff in Pingshun will be trained one by one, and basically a team will be formed. In another month, with the combination of new and old, Qingyang Airport will be ready for use. When the time comes, we will dispatch a team to Qingyang!"
Li Yunlong nodded. He was not very familiar with the business of an aviation division, but he naturally understood the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket.
Even though checkpoints have been set up at every intersection in the base, armored vehicle rangers are conducting uninterrupted patrols.
The most important thing is that a battalion of infantry and an anti-aircraft artillery battalion were stationed near the airport.
However, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.
According to Li Yunlong, if you don’t manage a household, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. It is safer to separate the aircraft of the two squadrons.
Moreover, transferring another flight squadron to Qingyang can also protect the Qingyang Petrochemical Base. At the same time, separate training can improve efficiency.
After Lu Tianlong completed three takeoffs and landings, he gracefully stopped the plane and moved closer to Li Yunlong.
"Commander, any other instructions?"
"I just want to ask you a question. If the Japanese planes come, can you defeat them?"
"We are currently conducting formation training. Once the formation training is completed, combat training will begin."
Li Yunlong nodded. He knew even less about fighter jet combat.
"We are no match for fighter jets, you can handle it on your own. If you really can't handle it, ask Chief of Staff Wang, he knows a lot!"
After saying this, Li Yunlong gave a sly laugh and lowered his voice.
"Master Lu, have you recruited a few more brothers from Chongqing recently?"
The air battles in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions have been very fierce recently. Due to the poor performance of the aircraft and insufficient training, planes are constantly being shot down.
Fortunately, after the pilots parachuted, they all fell into the Chongqing-controlled area, so their lives were not in any danger.
However, the destroyed planes could not be replaced for the time being, so many pilots who lost their planes started repairing planes or picked up rifles.
Therefore, after Lu Tianlong extended the olive branch, he recruited another 30 pilots and is currently conducting training with trainer aircraft.
Except for Lin Shubing and Wang Meng, the theoretical training of the remaining 107 special forces members is also nearing completion.
After theoretical examination and evaluation, they will enter the training on trainer aircraft.
According to Wang Meng's plan, it would be great if these special forces members could fly the F6F Hellcat fighter jets, but if not, they could also be added to the bomber brigade to be established next.
"Captain Lu, after you finish your training, gather all the pilots and flight trainees. I, a layman, will teach you a lesson!"
