Chapter 532 Catastrophe
After two years of collaborative research and development by experts who had developed fighter jets and bombers, Liu Jintang's helicopter assembled from bicycle parts has undergone a major transformation.

The weight was increased to one ton, the power was changed to a 160-horsepower turbine engine, and it became a single rotor with a tilted blade, so it could move forward. The rotor on the tail was used to control the direction.

A fully loaded one-ton helicopter can carry 240 kilograms and can seat two people, or a pilot and more than kilograms of bombs or key supplies.

Hua Hengfang, the new director of the Hailing Arsenal, is very proud. "This helicopter can replace hot air balloons or airships to calibrate artillery fire, and can also replace airships for anti-submarine warfare."

"The speed is 150 kilometers per hour and the range is 300 kilometers."

"It can be parked directly on the cruiser. A 4-meter square area is enough. It is much more convenient than airship anti-submarine warfare."

"This helicopter is easy to use and lightweight, so we named it the 'Hummingbird' helicopter."

Shao Quanzhong didn't comment and waved his hand, "Sixth Lady, send one copy to Waldersee."

Hua Hengfang felt that Shao Quanzhong was not satisfied, so she came over and said, "Marshal, both the army and the navy can be used, which is already very good."

Shao Quanzhong frowned, "It can be used, but you guys lack courage. This thing is not fun, and the firepower is not strong enough."

Hua Hengfang and Liu Jintang scratched the back of their heads together, thinking that the Marshal's demands were too high.

Shao Quanzhong closed his eyes and thought, he only has this much ability, I can't force him to do anything. He should talk about his wild and unconstrained ideas - "Come on, go to Qinhu Lake and invite Tesla to me, and ask him to give me some advice."

Tesla came with great interest, "Let me see if there is anything worth my while."

After circling the Hummingbird, Tesla curled his lips and said, "What the hell is this? This idea of ​​being able to hover and fly is a waste. The firepower is far from enough, and your brains are limited."

As soon as Tesla stretched out his hand, the doctors from the "Layman Group" who followed him like a shadow immediately handed him pencils and paper.

Tesla quickly sketched a diagram and said, "According to this, the power needs to be increased. Even more, at least two 1600-kilowatt aircraft engines are needed."

Liu Jintang felt aggrieved, "It's not that big—"

"Stupid, you can't design one specifically for this? With my bladeless turbine, is this a problem?"

Well, to design an airplane you have to design the engine first. This concept did not exist now, but it existed when Tesla proposed it.

"You don't understand. Power is the core of an aircraft. With powerful power, everything will be easy."

"Add fire control radar, optical aiming system, Doppler radar navigation system, and armor. After adding these, this helicopter can have at least three tons of cargo capacity."

"You can add machine guns, bombs, whatever you want. I suggest that you carry a few missiles or rockets on this rack I drew."

"I'll tick this rough sketch. You need to adjust it appropriately. Go to the wind tunnel. The speed should be at least over 300 kilometers per hour and it should be able to rise 5 kilometers in height."

"This will become an air tank. Shao, your soldiers can just bomb it."

Shao Quanzhong was very pleased. Hehe, well, no matter how smart Tesla was, he was of Slavic descent and quite admired the aesthetics of violence. The sketches he drew were rough and scary, which was exactly what he wanted.

The killing weapon is called "Hummingbird", which sounds too lame. "You guys just design it according to Tesla's instructions. Everything Tesla makes is scary. I named this helicopter he designed 'Catastrophe'..."

Tesla threw down his pencil. "That's it. You guys do it. Shao, you're such a fool. You asked me to do such a simple thing."

Hua Hengfang and Liu Jintang left with Tesla's sketch with sad faces. This was actually a completely new project that had to be redesigned starting from the engine.

Moreover, Tesla did not consider the difficulty of design at all, and added radar, fire control, navigation system, and armor. He just sketched a rough draft and gave a few instructions, and everyone estimated that it would take at least several years to complete it, and it might not be completed.

Tesla grabbed Shao Quanzhong and said, "Come on, come and see my anti-gravity aircraft. Don't look at these simple things all day long, or your IQ will drop."

Shao Quanzhong was pulled by Tesla into the Maybach and drove towards Renzhu Lake.

Only Tesla dared to grab the emperor and forcibly drag him away like this. Following Tesla would not lower your IQ, but you would most likely go crazy.

The gadgets designed by Tesla are indeed advanced, on a whole different level than helicopters. According to Shao Quanzhong, they are so advanced that they cannot be used - embarrassing.

A straw hat-shaped disc-shaped anti-gravity aircraft has been designed, which can theoretically seat two people, but no one is willing to take the risk of life, including Tesla himself. Therefore, the current aircraft is wirelessly controlled.

Four powerful nozzles were pointed toward the ground, and with a rumbling sound, the UFO slowly rose up.

Historically, Tesla had no money, so there were only blueprints for this thing, but it was never built. But later, the British designed the Harrier aircraft based on the blueprints, using Tesla's idea - vertical take-off and landing.

The disc-shaped object can rise up without shaking back and forth and falling over, making use of the gyro stabilizer designed by Tesla previously, which was later widely used in the aerospace field.

How to say it, the things Tesla designed later on cannot be used directly, but the "small" technologies that Tesla invented to support his "great inventions" are used everywhere, and any one of them is still irreplaceable.

Tesla's ground control system looks high-tech, with both radar and radio control equipment.

Shao Quanzhong was very puzzled. You can see something like this with your eyes, so what is the use of radar?

He soon realized that the UFO no longer needed jet power to hover in the air. It relied on Tesla's specially made complex coils and permanent magnets to balance gravity and just stay in the air.

Then, the tail nozzle turned, gently sprayed out a little flame, and the UFO disappeared with a "whoosh".

Shao Quanzhong was full of questions. Where did this thing go?
Looking at Tesla, Tesla didn't even know and was just looking at the radar screen.

On the radar screen, a bright spot jumped forward rapidly, its movement trajectory was quite irregular, and it moved instantly.

After a few seconds, the bright spot suddenly stopped moving and then disappeared from the radar.

Tesla scratched the back of his head and said, "Shao, send the Hummingbird to check what happened to my aircraft."

The newly developed Hummingbird helicopter began its first mission, helping Tesla find his own flying saucer.

An hour and a half later, the Hummingbird pilot called back, "Reporting to the Marshal, we found the wreckage of a UFO 200 kilometers away from Qinhu Lake. Do you want to bring it back?"

Debris? What did the UFO hit?

"Xiao Te, you designed this thing to fly incredibly fast, why can't you control it?"

Tesla scratched his head. "The coil I wound makes the most of the energy of the Earth's magnetic field and the cosmic gravitational waves. The cosmic gravitational waves and the Earth's magnetic field affect each other, so I can't predict the movement of the UFO. Look, it's going back and forth so fast that it exceeds the speed of a missile. Isn't it amazing?"

Ahem, it's not that great. It's a good thing that the enemy can't tell where the UFO appears, but what's the point if you can't even control it? If you're not careful, you'll end up in the enemy's lair.

The next day, the wreckage of the UFO was pulled back to the Chenhu Research Laboratory by a truck. After studying it, Tesla concluded that the UFO crashed because it was flying too fast and the surface iron sheet melted.

Tesla is full of confidence. "When new high-temperature resistant materials come out, I will make some improvements and there will be no problem."

Shao Quanzhong has lost confidence in Tesla's self-designed gadgets. Even if you improve it, it's still uncontrollable, right? You can play with it by yourself, I have to get back to work.

…………

A temporary intercontinental missile base on the outskirts of Quanzhou.

Shao Quanzhong came to Quanzhou to see the real and authentic national weapon.

Here stands a 30-meter-high giant, installed on an iron frame, with a diameter of 8.5 meters and a weight of 300 tons. It is a several-fold enlarged version of the V2 missile.

This is the intercontinental missile team led by Tan Yaoxun. It took five years to design a big guy based on the V2 rocket. It has a range of 8000 kilometers and a warhead weight of 3 tons.

This is just the foundation of Dr. Tan’s great three-step plan. Even the first step of sending a satellite into space has not been achieved yet.

However, Shao Quanzhong was not very interested in sending satellites or people into space, but was interested in missiles that could hit a range of 8000 kilometers.

The rocket ignited, slowly rose into the air, and soon disappeared in the southeast sky.
