    Hearing what the other party said, Qin Baoshan was a little strange.  Of course he knew that the other party must have a purpose in coming to find him, but he didn't expect it to be for this purpose.  It turned out to be disgusting that the speed of refueling in the air was not fast enough!  This is a bit unreasonable!  Now he has solved the technical problem of aerial refueling.  The other party should be very satisfied, why would he dislike slowness?

    Seemingly knowing what Qin Baoshan was suspecting, a wry smile appeared on Cochrane's face.  She said to Qin Baoshan: "Although I have begun to recruit women into the army and become pilots in the army, the army does not particularly trust us. So now although we have formed two women's flying teams, the army only allows  We fly planes from factories to air force bases and that doesn't allow us to go directly into combat."

    It is not easy for people to change their views on women. Even though Cochrane has made a lot of efforts, there are still many problems.  Now, after these women with lofty ideals of serving the motherland and fighting the enemy join the army, they find that they can only fly the planes from the aircraft factory to the airfield of the aviation army, and they cannot really go to the battlefield at all.  You must know that in the UK, there are already female pilots flying bombers over the heads of the Germans to drop bombs, and there are still many obstacles waiting for them here in the United States.

    She is also thinking of various ways.  One of the opportunities for their female pilots to serve in the frontline troops is to fly an aerial tanker to refuel various aircraft that are about to go to the battlefield.  Although he still didn't go to the front line, it was still a step closer.  That's why she participated in Doolittle's aerial refueling experiment.

    But if these aerial refueling planes of theirs are refueling fighter jets, they can be completed quickly.  After all, a fighter jet only has one or two tons of fuel. If the bomber is to be refueled, the bomber may need several tons of fuel.  Danger.

    Since this aerial refueling equipment was designed by Qin Baoshan, maybe he has other ways to increase the speed of aerial refueling!

    Now she ran over eagerly, but actually wanted to ask Qin Baoshan to solve this problem for them.  Major Cromlin called Qin Baoshan over because he wanted Qin Baoshan to help solve a lot of technical problems. He didn't expect that the first question was actually raised by a female pilot in the United States.

    Facing the other party's question, Qin Baoshan thought for a while, and then said: "There are ways. For example, the power of the oil pump can be increased."

    The oil delivery pipe of the air tanker does not rely on gravity to refuel. There is a special oil delivery pump inside the tanker.  The fuel in the fuel tank is pumped out, and delivered to the fuel tank of the oil receiver through the oil pipeline.  The higher the efficiency of the oil pump, the higher the efficiency of oil delivery.

    Hearing Qin Baoshan's words, Cochrane nodded: "We have already practiced your idea, and we are using the most efficient oil pump that can be found in China. You still have ways to continue to improve this oil pump."  efficiency?"

    Qin Baoshan shook his head, of course there is no such way.  Qin Baoshan is just talking about it, he only understands various basic principles, and if it comes to practice, he has to leave it to others.  This kind of thing that can only be obtained purely by industrial progress, Qin Baoshan can't make it by himself.

    If you can't do this, then you have to think of other ways.  Qin Baoshan rolled his eyes, and then said: "If you want to improve the efficiency of refueling, you have to use a thicker fuel pipe."

    Cochran nodded: "This is what we have tried. We have used thicker pipes, but this also means that the weight of the oil pipeline is too large. Under the premise of ensuring a certain length of the oil pipeline, the thicker the pipe, the more  When refueling in the air, it is easier to break and break apart."

    It is impossible for the tube to be thicker without limit, and it will cause a series of problems later, so they tried this method, and it failed.

    Qin Baoshan nodded and continued: "When it gets thicker, the hose method won't work, but this tube can be made into a stretchable hard tube."

    There are two types of mature aerial refueling technologies, in Qin Baoshan's original time and space.  Most national armies in the world use the hose refueling method, and only the U.S. Air Force uses the hard pipe refueling method.  This refueling method is more efficient, and the thick pipe can meet the refueling needs of various aircraft in a short time.

    Of course, its principle is completely different from hose refueling.  Hose refueling does not have high requirements for the tanker, as long as the tube is dragged to fly in the sky, the rest depends on the pilot's driving skills of the tanker, the air tanker needs to be poked into the fuel tubeGo inside the tapered sleeve.  If the technology is not high, it may lead to the failure of aerial refueling.

    The way of hard pipe refueling has nothing to do with the oil receiver.  After flying to the exact position behind the tanker, the tanker only needs to keep its position relative to the tanker, and then at the tail of the tanker, there is a special air tanker who operates the telescopic tube until it reaches the tanker.  The fixed oil receiving position on the back of the machine.  Refuel after docking, because this is a hard pipe, so there can be higher pressure and faster flow rate inside.  This pipe will also be thicker, but this aerial refueling technology is very complicated, and only the US Air Force of later generations can master it.

    Now that Cochran strongly wants to increase the speed of aerial refueling, then Qin Baoshan has nothing to hide. Anyway, it is just a theory, so Qin Baoshan said his idea.

    Cochrane's eyes slowly filled with surprise.  When he first heard about Qin Baoshan's contribution, Cochran was actually somewhat skeptical.  She doesn't believe how highly skilled you are, a person from the East who has never been to school.  But because Cochran was originally born in a humble background, she was also very curious about the mud-legged army of the Eighth Route Army, and she also had some expectations for Qin Baoshan.  Now Qin Baoshan really lived up to her expectations, and proposed this new idea, which can solve the problems she encountered.

    Qin Baoshan gestured while talking.  Since it is a refueling pipe protruding from the tail, it can directly use the position of the gunner at the tail of the bomber and transform it into the position of an air refueler.  This aerial refueling officer must be quick in his hands and feet, and must be skilled.  Otherwise, refueling failure may occur.

    Cochrane listened carefully to the idea.  After Qin Baoshan finished all these contents, she raised her wine glass and said to Qin Baoshan: "Your idea is really excellent. Thank you very much for what you said to me. I hope we can complete these preparations as soon as possible  , we can fly to your base in the future and fight side by side."
