Chapter 159 Buying a Property in Mi Lijian(1/2)
Taking advantage of the fact that the vault was stolen without being discovered, Lin Hao went directly to Tokyo Bend, found a heavy cruiser, and put the three seaplanes on it into the space.
Another barge was collected into the space, and soon this thing would be of great use.
Then, Lin Hao ran to a nearby uninhabited sea area and released one of the Hengchang-type water reconnaissance aircraft. However, Lin Hao seemed to turn off the engine, but he was disappointed.
"The engine only has 300 horsepower and the top speed is 155 kilometers per hour. This thing seems to be from the 1920s!"
He shook his head. Although this aircraft looked very backward and obviously not suitable for long-distance flights, Lin Hao used its water take-off and landing function.
Lin Hao then put away the seaplane.
Release Type 95 fighter jets on the road. This thing is a bit ugly, but it can fly 400 kilometers per hour!
Then Lin Hao got into the cockpit and closed the glass hatch, "There's no need to put on the windshield now."
Yes, when Lin Hao was in Jinling, he used his fitter skills to make a glass hatch cover. Again, it's ugly, but it can be used.
As the plane slowly took off, Lin Hao was fortunate that radar had not yet become popular.
The world's first practical radar was invented by the Great Empire this year, and the first radar station was established next year, in January 1936.
In the next three or four years, Lin Hao can still fly in the sky unscrupulously.
After entering the 1940s, when radar stations were established in various countries, Lin Hao did not dare to wander around the capital of a country so leisurely in Tokyo.
After checking the time, it was already 6:30 in the morning, but the sky was still as dark as ink. Lin Hao drove the plane in the sky, adjusted the direction, and then headed east.
Next stop, Los Angeles!
When the plane flew to the east coast of Milijian, two full days had passed.
There is no way, the distance from Tokyo to Los Angeles is too far, more than 8,800 kilometers. If you start from Shanghai, the distance reaches tens of thousands of kilometers.
Every time Lin Hao flies for more than four hours, he needs to retract the Type 95 aircraft into space in the sky, then take out the seaplane from the space, and then teleport in, so that he can rely on the seaplane to land.
After landing safely on the sea, we released the barge we brought from Tokyo Bend, then boarded the barge and rested on it for an hour before continuing our journey.
At night, Lin Hao still had to sleep on the boat. After all, flying a plane over the vast Pacific Ocean at night without any reference object might cause the plane to crash and everyone to die while taking a nap.
Therefore, in one day, Lin Hao could only drive for about 10 hours during the daytime, and could probably fly less than 4,000 kilometers, so it took him two full days to arrive.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Lin Hao was flying the plane circling in the sky, because he didn't know the specific location now, whether he was flying north or south.
There are no lights on the coastline, so even if you want to ask someone, you can't.
After thinking about it, the latitudes of Los Angeles and Shanghai are a little higher, and the dimensions of Tokyo are higher.
And I started from Tokyo and flew all the way due west. In other words, excluding directional deviation, I should fly south.
So Lin Hao turned the plane and flew south along the coastline. He also saw many towns on the way. Half an hour later, Lin Hao saw bright lights on the land, so he did not hesitate to find a place to land in the suburbs.
"It seems that my character is pretty good!" After Lin Hao entered this city, he immediately realized that this was Los Angeles.
In this case, what else is there to say? Just let Nerna go!
At this time, Nerna had already recovered from his injuries. Wearing the suit Lin Hao bought for him, he looked like a human.
Lin Hao found a hotel and asked Nerna to register his name, because the whole country was not very friendly towards Chinese people, and the Chinese Exclusion Act would not be canceled until December 1943.
Lin Hao doesn't have enough time and doesn't want to waste time here, so having such a French person as a shield can avoid a lot of trouble.
In the following months, Lin Hao was so busy that his feet never touched the ground, and there were footprints in the sky.
First, with the help of Nerna, he applied for an identity in Milijian. Leisen, whose English name is Leisen, is a genuine identity that allows Lin Hao to travel and do things normally in Milijian.
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
Lin Hao first asked Nerner to acquire a small bank in Los Angeles, and then changed its name to Rayson Bank. Then Lin Hao purchased most of the shares, and then deposited all his gold, US dollar bills and cash into it.
Rayson Bank, which had a large amount of cash, began to acquire a medium-sized pharmaceutical factory and then purchased equipment related to the production of sulfonamides.
At this time, sulfonamides had just completed clinical trials, and many pharmaceutical companies had begun to invest in production, but most of them still used laboratory preparations, so the output was very small and the price was comparable to gold.
It was not until 1940 that Mi Lijian mastered industrial preparation and mass-produced it for every soldier.
Moreover, the current drug management of Milijian is basically non-existent. It is the same as in European countries, where drugs and food are as laissez-faire as they are.
The famous Food and Drug Administration (FdA) is now just a small bureau-level department under the Ministry of Agriculture, with only a hundred or ten people.
Therefore, in terms of drug management at this time, we only need to check whether the labels of the drugs are accurate or meet drug standards. The main work is to manage food transportation.
"En..., it feels so good!" The drugs at this time don't even need basic toxicological testing.
What else is there to say? Sulfonamides are inherently safe and reliable drugs. As long as no weird things are added to them, there is basically no risk.
So after Lin Hao directly took over the pharmaceutical factory, he updated some of the equipment, then adopted the preparation methods of later generations, quickly started mass production, and then started selling to the outside world.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At the same time, Lin Hao also found several equipment manufacturers and customized three sets of production equipment, two of which Lin Hao put into his own space.
There are also upstream raw material suppliers who purchase a large amount of raw materials, and Lin Hao also packs most of them into his own space.
As for the issue of penicillin, Lin Hao didn't pay much attention to it. Now that food and clothing are a problem in the liberated areas, where can the corn be used as culture medium?
Moreover, suitable strains are not easy to obtain. It is better to wait for them to spend a lot of financial and material resources to screen out strains and develop large-scale production technology.
Then Lin Hao handed over the pharmaceutical factory to Chen Minzhang to take care of it. Part of the sulfonamide produced was used for external sales, and part was shipped to Xiangjiang.
After arriving in Hong Kong, the medicine will be handed over to Chen Minzhang and sold by Leisen Trading Company.
The pharmaceutical factory's sulfonamide issue was resolved, and Lin Hao set his sights on telegraph equipment manufacturing again.
Although Lin Hao has the technology to improve the telegraph machine, improvement requires not only technology, but also an industrial foundation.
In terms of current technology, Lin Hao needs to spend a lot of time researching in order to reduce the size of the telegraph, increase the hertz capacity, and increase the sending and receiving distance.
Lin Hao feels that there is no need for this at all. The functions of the currently produced telegraph machines are sufficient, and there is no need for him to develop them in depth!
Therefore, Lin Hao still let Leisen Bank hold the controlling stake, and planned to directly purchase a production license, introduce a production line, and start manufacturing directly.
Lin Hao had already thought about where to go for the finished products. At this time, both the party-state and the Red Party were continuing to make telegraph machines, so Lin Hao had no worries about selling the telegraph machines he produced.
Now that the communication problem is solved, the next step is the ordnance.
The ordnance Lin Hao wants to make is not a rifle, submachine gun, or artillery.
Instead, they manufactured this batch of anti-aircraft weapons that are currently in short supply in the country, and the first thing Lin Hao thought of was: the M2 Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun.
Equipped with a tripod, this thing can be used directly for air defense. It is definitely a good thing for China that has lost its air defense advantage.
The gun fires 12.7x99mm caliber bullets, including ordinary bullets, armor-piercing incendiary bullets, armor-piercing bullets, tracer bullets, armor-piercing tracer bullets, armor-piercing incendiary tracer bullets, sabot-piercing bullets, hard-core armor-piercing bullets, training bullets, etc.
When the gun is empty, the total weight of the gun is 38.2 kg, and 58.2 kg when equipped with a tripod. The effective range is 1800 meters, and the maximum range is 2500 meters. The bullets are fed by belts.
As we all know, anti-aircraft weapons are used to fight infantry, and their final destination is armored vehicles and aircraft.
This thing has been in service since its birth until modern times, with a total of more than 3 million produced. Like the Browning m1911 pistol, it is known as a generation of sharp guns.
Thinking of the m1911 semi-automatic pistol, Lin Hao felt that it could also be introduced for production. After all, it has a long life cycle and this thing is definitely profitable.
As for the bullet it uses, it is a 0.45-inch (11.43mm) pistol bullet, so there is no need to worry, after all, Yan Laoxi has already produced it himself.
Besides, as long as you are here, you will have as many bullets as you need.
By the way, there is also an m1935 automatic pistol that I ordered from the Belgian FN company. This gun is also a long-lived firearm. It was used until the 1990s before it began to be replaced by other pistols.
M1935 automatic pistol, Guo Preserved once ordered thousands of this type of pistol from FN Company, but soon after the European War broke out, Belgium directly ran out of them, and the supply was interrupted.
Later, Guozhi negotiated with the Ghanaian government and improved and supplied more than 20,000 such pistols.
As for the concentrated pistols that were popular in the country at this time, they had one gun, two horses, three mouths, four snakes and five dogs.
They are Browning m1900, Browning m1903, Browning m1910, Sauer m1913, Spain's fast pocket pistol, Mauser m1934, and a four-inch gun, which is Browning m1906.
These types of pistols are quite famous, but they are just famous. As for why they are so famous, of course it is because there were no choices in China before.
Firearms are basically like this. Even if we want to develop other ordnance, we will have to wait until later, such as Mark grenades.
This little thing will soon be derived from the Mark 2A1 hand grenade. After removing its fuse, it will directly become a rifle grenade.
Finally, there is the issue of the aircraft, which is also the aircraft that Lin Hao has been thinking about for a long time.
It was also controlled by Raytheon Bank, and then Lin Hao poached people with high salaries to form the Raytheon Aircraft Manufacturing Company.
Lin Hao directly drew the appearance of a P-51 Mustang fighter jet, and then asked them to produce a shell, but it was not the original size, but a reduced version of the P51.
Then Lin Hao asked these aircraft engineers to use the R-1820-80 engine on the Hawker 2 aircraft, superimpose four layers of cylinders, and directly increase the engine to 3100 horsepower.
Of course, such a large engine cannot be installed in the P51, so Lin Hao made a semi-open hollow cylinder with a diameter of 30 cm, a wall thickness of 5 cm, and a length of 40 cm.
Then, put the 3100-horsepower engine in, extend the main shaft, and install the propeller, perfect!
Because the engine has become a 30 cm cylinder, a large amount of auxiliary equipment has been reduced, so the aircraft weighs only 1.4 tons.
So Lin Hao installed a 5-centimeter steel plate in the cockpit, mounted six M2 heavy machine guns on the wings, and built them into the cylinder, and a bomb release port was made on the belly of the aircraft.
In the end, this smaller version of the P51 has unlimited speed (fake), unlimited ammunition (fake), and a bulletproof cockpit.
The maximum speed exceeds one thousand kilometers per hour, and it took more than three months to finally complete the aircraft.
After repeated test flights and confirmation, Lin Hao ordered the production of two more aircraft and a seaplane based on this as his own backup aircraft.
Thinking about the take-off distance, it only takes more than 20 meters to get into the sky. Any large warship can be used as its mother ship as long as it has a deck of more than 20 meters.
