    A large group of men stared at the woman's thighs, and several of their eyes were still shining, which really made the first lady blush a little.  Miao Luo knew about nylon stockings because someone sent several pairs in the summer.  Yan Yuqiu even told her quietly that the stockings were designed by Yang Qiu from style to color, right down to the suspenders of the pantyhose!  If a dignified president designs things for women, if it is revealed that all the people will lose confidence, right?  Building a hundred battleships is irreversible!  Fortunately, this matter was kept strictly confidential. Even the three sisters only wore it at home, or covered it with a pair of pants, unlike now when they expose their entire thighs to men in broad daylight.

    There are also short skirts. Although I know they are designed to be so short to show the stockings, but they almost reach the thighs, right?

    Miao Luo secretly patted her chest. Fortunately, these girls were all Russian girls selected from the descendants of immigrants. Although they had become nationals, they were still foreigners in the eyes of others. It didn't matter if they were bolder.

    The president¡¯s wife was worried that others would know that the stockings were designed by her husband, but Yang Qiu was secretly happy. Looking at the wide-eyed eyes of the diplomats¡¯ wives around her, she knew that the first generation of stocking lovers would soon take the world by storm.

    The girl in charge of the introduction was very smart. When she saw the ladies, their eyes widened. She immediately introduced the new material nylon to everyone. She also asked someone to bring out a box of stockings of various colors for the ambassador¡¯s wives to choose from. In the end, even the wives of Wang Zhengting and Yue Peng were  Unable to resist the temptation, I dragged him behind and secretly stuffed a few items into my bag. As for whether the Prime Minister and the Chief of General Staff would be able to go to work tomorrow, it was not a matter of concern to outsiders.

    With the little stocking tidbits, everyone¡¯s enthusiasm for visiting was aroused.  For this World Expo to be a success.  In order to promote the capabilities of "Made in China" to the world, the Prime Minister's Office specially sent a delegation of experts to inspect exhibitors.  In addition to traditional industries, we also carefully select thousands of distinctive products.  In addition to silk stockings becoming famous in one fell swoop, there are also handmade mechanical watches comparable to those of Switzerland, convenient and simple tea bags, artemisinin, tiger balm, automatic embroidery machines, automatic carpet weaving machines, civilian centrifuges, medical oxygen concentrators, jeeps, pickup trucks,  Motorcycles, a complete set of agricultural machinery, car wipers, circulating central air conditioners, 100,000-ton oil tanker models, large icebreakers, 50,000-ton ore bulk wheel models, etc.

    The science and technology museum at the back was even more eye-opening for ambassadors and reporters from various countries. The first thing they saw at the door was a robot dog that could speak simple words, stretch, squat, sit up, and even wag its tail to beg for mercy from guests.  Several loving ladies wished they could take them home.

    Pipa-sized metal base tube, backpack-type shortwave radio smaller than ordinary radios, multi-threaded telephone shunt, Tesla coil display, resonant cavity magnetron, microwave radiation furnace, high-temperature sintering furnace, fully automatic universal milling machine  , 30,000-ton free forging model, 25,000-ton hydraulic press model, 1-meter seamless pipe extruder model, various engine models, and three-core compressed air insulated cable that can transmit 132,000 volts of high voltage.  An electron microscope capable of magnifying 6,000 times, a book-sized portable radio, a titanium alloy forging machine model, aviation wear-resistant tires, new polyethylene (PVC) pipes, etc.

    After the Rhineland Plan, the improvement and special development of data machines, and the 3010 Plan launched four years ago, technological strength has quickly reached a critical point.  Although many of them are technologies from old factories and school laboratories, and there are still too few innovative companies and individuals, every Chinese official who comes to visit can feel the progress and strength of the country, and for those who are thousands of miles away,  For the foreigners who came here.  His face doesn't look so good.  Open forging, hydraulic press, die press and large diameter extrusion press, titanium alloy forging machine these are all industrial pearls!  Several products are currently only produced by the United States and the United States, but I never expected that they would appear in China, which was still poor and backward 24 years ago!  Although they are all civilian products, they still look ugly.

    ¡° Robot dogs, ultra-high voltage insulated cables, and small metal base tubes are technologies that even Europe and the United States are salivating over. As for new materials such as polyvinyl chloride and nylon, I have never even heard of them!

    Especially when the last engine model appeared, the ambassadors of various countries immediately panicked!

    Hakan¡¯s eyes turned green!  The engine is actually just a high-horsepower diesel engine.  It is similar to the MB518 diesel engine developed by Mercedes for the S-class speedboat, but the full-size tank model placed next to it for introduction purposes is really incredible!  The square turret, which is 10 meters long, more than 3 meters wide, and has a huge top, actually has two 85mm gun barrels inserted into it!  What¡¯s even more incredible is that this tank actually has four tracks!  Oh, God!  Amaterasu!  This thing weighs at least 60 tons, right?  Can it be opened?  If possible, those dozens of tons of small toys developed by ourselves.  I'm afraid it's over just after we met, right?  !

    "How did you get it here?"

    President Yang¡¯s expression suddenly changed, and he pretended to pull Yue Peng and several officers to the side.  It seems like a huge secret has been revealed.  This scene made Wang Zhengting and other government officials secretly wonder, has this thing been leaked?Only Yue Peng and the generals were laughing, but their faces showed a solemn look.

    They really want to laugh, because this tank is a waste.

    In fact, this tank was the result of Yang Qiu's mistake when he copied the miniature photos from the data machine. He accidentally took a few photos of the Soviet Project 279 tank. Unexpectedly, after Hanyang got the drawings and photos, he thought it was a great secret weapon and immediately took care of it.  Lu Huadian launched research and once alerted the General Staff to allocate 3 million to mobilize military experts to participate.  Later, when Yang Qiu learned about this, he couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't stop him. He even deliberately suggested that it would be nice if he could install two 85mm cannons.

    Of course we should take the President¡¯s advice seriously!  Hanyang Group and the National Defense Forces Tank and Armor Research Institute worked together and finally came up with the product three years ago. However, after testing, everyone was disappointed and finally gave up completely six months ago.  But this waste is not fruitless. The Kunlun 500 560-horsepower turbocharged diesel engine specially developed for it has become the standard power for the new generation of tanks. Even the Kunlun 3000 high-speed diesel engine used by torpedo boats and warships was developed by it.  Come.

    But at this time, the ambassadors were still in charge of the engine, and their eyes were all green.  Reporters also took photos.  In particular, the Soviet delegation wanted to pounce on it and take a closer look. It would be best to transport it back to Moscow and cut it into pieces.  "Everyone, let's go visit the aviation museum?" After the reporters had finished taking pictures, Yang Qiu pretended to be bluffing and took everyone to the outdoor aviation museum. Just as the ambassadors turned back three times, several specially arranged staff immediately brought  The tank was covered with canvas, and the next day the four-track tank and its engine disappeared completely.

    But the more this happens, the expressions of some people become solemn.

    They are indeed solemn, because if this tank is really a finished product, then I am afraid that the current tanks in various countries will be outdated.  Especially the Soviet Union.  Tens of thousands of BT series tanks were all turned into scrap metal overnight.

    Hakan and Falkenhausen also wished they could immediately buy tanks and return to China for research, and their desire to ally with China became even more intense.  "Now let me introduce two new aircraft to the president and ambassadors." The sweet-sounding commentator finally brought Yoshiakimi, Hakan and others back to their senses. When they turned around, they realized they were in an outdoor aviation museum.

    The layout here also surprised the two of them. First of all, there were two slender sounding rockets with a height of 5 meters standing next to them. However, when the two pretended to squat down and wanted to take a look at the bottom engine, they found that they had already been dismantled.  net.  Dai Yunong behind him sneered when he saw the two of them acting like this.

    The canvas in the open space behind the rocket has not been opened yet.  But judging from the appearance, they should be two very huge aircraft.  Sure enough, after Yang Qiu and Wang Zhengting came on stage to kick off the show, even US Ambassador Johnson, who was already developing the B17 bomber, frowned.

    Under the sunlight, two shiny silver metal models of four-engine full-size passenger aircraft shone with dazzling luster.  Both aircraft have a single vertical tail and wide cabin design.  The first one is the Meteor Company's Meteor-5 Stratosphere Airliner, which has a bubble-shaped cabin.  The second aircraft is Airbus' latest model KC-3 civilian passenger aircraft, with a slightly slimmer body than the former.  But the overall appearance is slightly larger.

    The former is similar to the Boeing 307, but is much larger than the Boeing 307.  The cockpit protrudes forward, also uses a pressurized cabin, bicycle-style wheels, and four 1,600-horsepower Comet air-cooled engines. It can carry up to 72 people and has a maximum speed of 490 kilometers per hour.  The maximum range is 6,200 kilometers and the ceiling is 8,970 meters.  The second one looks exactly like a DC-4 passenger plane.  It also uses four 1,600-horsepower Twin Mustang engines, a compact 86-seat fully enclosed cabin, a speed of 480 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 6,500 kilometers, and a ceiling of 7,200 meters.

    Simply put, when carrying 50 passengers or 5 tons of cargo, both planes can fly directly from Shanghai to Lake Balkhash.  If you bring two tons of cargo, you can go directly from Shenyang to Singapore, or Urumqi to Cairo!  Moreover, due to the adoption of new technologies such as cabin pressurization, engine two-stage pressurization, and airframe de-icing, they are currently the only two types of passenger aircraft in the world that can fly over the Himalayas and take off and land at the Lhasa Plateau Airport.

    ????????????????In addition to the efforts of the data machine and technical staff, it is also necessary to mention the 1,600-horsepower engine that has been listed as military standard.  Historically, the United States has mostly used 1,200-horsepower air-cooled engines for both bombers and transport aircraft. This is because this horsepower consumes less fuel and is more economical. A total of 230,000 units were manufactured throughout World War II.  Originally Yang Qiu also wanted to follow this standard, but later found that this horsepower could not meet the requirements of some large aircraft. In addition, the Air Force was not satisfied with the kc-2 at the time and felt that the carrying capacity was still too small, so several domestic manufacturers simply joined forces.  Research on 1,600 horsepower 20-cylinder radial piston engine.  In the end, after six years of gathering thousands of technical personnel and spending a total of 10 million in research and development costs, which slowed down the development progress of a larger horsepower engine, this general-purpose engine was finally produced.  It not only has high horsepower, but also uses two-stage pressurization. Its fuel consumption rate is only 5% more than that of a 1,200-horsepower engine. Its reliability and trouble-free time are evenEven higher than the former.

    After the technical breakthrough, Airbus and Meteor came up with their own models based on the standard model. Although Northern Thor also participated in the development, their main project was piston water cooling, so they did not participate in subsequent manufacturing.  The Ministry of National Defense has also listed this horsepower engine as a standard power equipment for bombers and transport aircraft since last year. Whether it is the current Comet-5 or KC-3, or the military twin-engine or four-engine bombers under development, this power will be used.

    ¡°The Boeing 307 and DC-4, which are their templates, are still on the drawing board. In the parallel world, they were also tested in 1938, which is still three years away. It is unknown whether they can be advanced in advance.

    Of course, none of the data ambassadors knew about it, not even the introducer who explained it to everyone. Not only was the data of the two aircraft very blurred, but what was displayed was only a technical model.  But only Yang Qiu and a few people know that both aircraft have actually been tested at the Langshan base, and if everything goes well, they will be delivered for use in 2037 at the latest.

    Even though the delivery time has not yet arrived, in order to encourage the development of domestic aviation, Yang Qiu, on behalf of the central government of the Republic of China, officially purchased 2 Comet-5s and 5 KC-3s from Meteor Company as government planes, one of which will become the presidential plane.  With this encouragement, major domestic airlines took action after the exhibition.  It was later learned that when the two aircraft completed test flights and went into production, they had already received orders for 88 and 92 aircraft respectively. The Ministry of National Defense even ordered 300 military-type aircraft in one go, and officially gave the Y-8 and Y-9 military serial numbers.

    Everyone is surprised by China's aircraft development capabilities, but Britain and the United States are not too surprised. After all, the development of the B17 bomber in the United States has been started for three years, and the United Kingdom is also developing the same engine, and they have reached the point where they can come up with similar models.  But Jiro Kagotsu stood blankly in front of the plane with a pale face!  Others didn't know it clearly, but he could tell from the full-size metal models that the design of the two aircraft had been completed and were in the final engineering and manufacturing stage even if they had not yet flown.

    The gap is really huge. Japan has just copied the engine of the White Shoulder Eagle and is still complacent about increasing the power to 750 horsepower, but they have already built a large passenger aircraft with four engines.  Even if you don¡¯t know the detailed data, you can deduce from the size and other factors that a single unit must have at least 1,200 horsepower to fly.

    Ambassador Yoshiaki Minoru also felt weak at his feet, so he pulled Jir¨­ Gakutsui: "Kikitsu-kun, you are an aviation expert, can you design such an aircraft empire?"

    design?  no problem.  But engine technology cannot be completed by design. Unless you get all the drawings of the other party, even if you reverse imitate the actual product, it will take three to five years to fully understand it.  So he shook his head and said with certainty: "Mr. Ambassador, I'm not saying that I'm discouraged. We can't build this kind of engine at the moment. Of course, if the empire can increase investment and gather more technical personnel, I think we can catch up as soon as possible.  "

    "So how many people are needed and how much funding is needed?"

    "At least, 1,000 engine talents, and at least 20 million yen in funding!" Kugoshijiro swallowed his saliva, not paying attention to Yoshiaki Minoru's pale cheeks, and turned his eyes to the two planes.
