"Yes, this is the simplest diode we have ever made. Using the glass manufacturing equipment we obtained last time, we made repeated attempts, and the vacuuming can meet the standard. Now we are trying to make the internal structure More complicated triodes and tetrodes. When these are done, we can make radio stations ourselves."
"Good job Xiong Da!" Qin Baoshan was very satisfied with this achievement. If the regiment-level troops of the Eighth Route Army can be equipped with radio stations, then the communication between them will definitely be greatly facilitated in the future.
"At present, we already have glass manufacturing equipment, and we are about to obtain electrolytic aluminum equipment. In this way, we can manufacture the plates, grids and other devices inside the electron tube, but we still cannot make the tungsten wire by ourselves. So if we If we want to mass-produce this kind of equipment, then we need to have tungsten metal to make the filament inside."
The electron tube uses the principle of cathode discharge. By heating the filament, electrons are released and shuttled between different electrodes inside to achieve functions such as amplification and rectification. Without this filament, nothing can be done.
Qin Baoshan knew that Xiong wanted to ask him to help purchase tungsten to make filament. This is of course no problem, Qin Baoshan immediately agreed. In fact, if it is not because of the current state of war, then the domestic output of this metal should be the largest. The world's largest tungsten mine is in China. Qin Baoshan also knows where it is. He can take people to mine and smelt it. Now, it really doesn't work, I can only buy it.
If electronic tubes can be produced in large quantities, then it can also promote the progress of the Eighth Route Army's electronic technology! Qin Baoshan thought secretly in his heart. It's already a bit overkill just to make a radio station. If these things make up an electronic computerforget it, that thing is too complicated.
What kind of project do you think of? By the way, it seems that there is something like a radio proximity fuze, which only needs three electron tubes and one thyratron. Do you want to find a way to fiddle with this kind of thing?
The specific circuit diagram seems to have a vague impression in my mind. This thing was a top-secret thing during World War II, but to Qin Baoshan who came from another world, it was nothing. In another time and space, many things during World War II had been declassified.
The key is to first draw the basic schematic diagram of the radio proximity fuze, and then give it to Xiong Zheng to perfect. Qin Baoshan believed that Xiong Zheng, an expert, must be capable. The radio proximity fuze made of electronic tubes is too large to be used on small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Now the Eighth Route Army does not have large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. But if you want to get this kind of thing out, it is still very useful. For example, it can be used on howitzer shells. The grenade of this era will only explode when it falls on the ground and touches the ground. This is the most basic mechanical fuze. It can only explode when it hits the ram on the warhead, so some shells fall into the mud pit Do not fry. If this kind of radio proximity fuze is installed, the shell will explode several meters from the ground before it hits the ground. In this way, when it explodes on top of the enemy's head, the lethality will be much greater.
With such thoughts in mind, after Qin Baoshan returned to the room, he began to draw pictures. At this time, the child had fallen asleep on the kang. Wei Shuqin hasn't come back yet, and went out to work again. Qin Baoshan was constantly looking for something in his mind, and then drew the circuit diagram.
I don't know how long it took before there was a creaking sound at the door. Wei Shuqin came back, and Qin Baoshan started talking in her low voice.
"Our Eighth Route Army currently needs to solve the main problem of weapon production. You have a meeting this afternoon and want to produce engines. This doesn't seem to be the most urgent thing we need at present, and the superiors have not asked for it." Wei Shuqin said to Qin Baoshan.
Hearing Wei Shuqin's question, Qin Baoshan nodded: "Yes, these things are not what we are most urgent at present, so we are just doing research, and it is impossible to mass-produce such things. But the Research must be carried out. Because we not only have various rifles and cannons, but in the future we also need aircraft, tanks, and engines for these things.¡±
Qin Baoshan thought further. He has already thought of such things as airplanes and tanks. In the eyes of others, this is definitely too ambitious. You must know that in this era, there is no domestic factory that can produce aircraft and tanks. Qin Baoshan's talk of producing these things is purely a dream. But Wei Shuqin knew that Qin Baoshan could create miracles. Now Qin Baoshan also knows that the main task is to produce rifles and machine guns. Since Qin Baoshan wants to study this engine, let him do it. Maybe in the future, he can really produce planes and tanks for the Eighth Route Army? Even if you can't figure it out,It is also quite a good thing to produce some spare parts and help repair captured aircraft and tanks.
While talking, Wei Shuqin lowered her head, and suddenly saw the thing Qin Baoshan painted, and she was very curious: "What are you painting?"
"A design drawing of a weapon fuze." Qin Baoshan said: "Xiong Da has already produced the electronic tube. In the future, the military industry of our Eighth Route Army will also enter the electronic age. I want to use it in weapons."
Wei Shuqin looked at the densely packed circuit diagrams, but she really couldn't understand them. But this does not prevent her from admiring Qin Baoshan. This husband of mine really knows a lot. I can't understand it, but it looks great.
After Qin Baoshan stayed in the Huangyadong Armory for a few days, he received the news that Major Cromlin was coming again.
The Americans are really interested in how to bomb the Japanese mainland. After Doolittle's heroic troops returned, Doolittle reported Qin Baoshan's suggestions to the higher authorities. The other party was very interested and immediately got in touch with the Chongqing government. The Americans cannot be blamed for this. After all, Chongqing is still the main government of China to the outside world. As a result, there was a request from the Jinsui Army to come to the Eighth Route Army's territory to station. Fortunately, it was blocked by Qin Baoshan. After Chu Yunfei went back, he reported to Yan Laoxi. It is estimated that Yan Laoxi added fuel to the matter and reported the matter to the Chongqing government, which reached the ears of the Americans, so Major Kromlin came to coordinate.
