"Director, there is news from Chu Hua that the first phase of the Sky Eye Project has been successfully tested."
Gao Zhihang looked at Jiang Li who opened his eyes, with a look of reverence on his face.
At this time, the Air Force Staff Department was reorganized, and he became He became the commander of the Air Force, and Jiang Li was the deputy director of the Northern Theater Command.
Gao Zhihang couldn't change his words for a while, but this did not affect his respect for Jiang Li.
"What's the result of the experiment?"
Jiang Li asked.
"The movement of the aircraft can be successfully captured at a distance of about thirty-five kilometers."
As an air force commander, Gao Zhihang knows better than anyone the significance of the emergence of this new type of non-combat machine.
The detection range may not be far enough, but it is definitely a ground-breaking invention for the entire aviation industry.
Previously, Northwest's defense model against the Japanese army mainly used manual monitoring of the movements of Japanese aircraft.
However, manual labor is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and many directions cannot be monitored at all.
The loopholes are quite large, and due to the mature construction in the northwest in recent years, some important facilities such as oil plants, power plants, dams, and steel plants must be protected.
At this time, the scale of northwest military production cannot produce high-quality weapons in large quantities.
Cannons and other anti-aircraft weapons protect all parts of the northwest.
But this thing called radar will make future defense against the Japanese Air Force simpler.
This has far-reaching implications for the air defense of the northwest.
"Thirty-five kilometers, it still needs to be improved."
Jiang Li answered ambiguously, although Jiang Li had laid out the radar in the early years, and even started to develop it in the laboratory in the United States two years earlier.
When conducting experiments on detecting ships at sea, the United States did not pay serious attention to these technologies in the early days, but recently it has attached great importance to them.
Even Jiang Li's laboratory there was also affected.
Although it was laid out early, the detection of aircraft there can only reach a distance of more than 20 kilometers.
A lot of energy and financial resources have been invested, but only such an almost useless result has been obtained.
But given the importance of radar.
Jiang Li had to invest more year after year.
"Professor Tesla is indeed capable, but he is just too stubborn.
Can't he still see the Japanese ambitions and the ugly face of the invaders?
We have provided him with so much money over the years to let him go out.
If he had developed this project earlier, our radar might have been fully used for northwest air defense."
Speaking of Nikola Tesla, Gao Zhihang's tone was somewhat inconsistent.
If it weren't for the fact that this guy's prestige was so high, that he brought many students with him in Northwest China, and that he was secretly protected by guards directly provided by Jiang Li, Gao Zhihang would have had the urge to tie him up in the laboratory to work for Northwest China.
The U.S. side, as a branch of the Sky Eye Project, has been going on for several years, but has still not made much progress.
The northwest side started even later.
Not long after Nikola Tesla began to preside over the experiment, significant progress began to be made.
If Nikola Tesla had no technology, Gao Zhihang would not believe it.
"Scientists love peace.
If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese army massacred cities and villages several times, Professor Tesla might not be willing to help."
Jiang Li shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He also didn't expect Tesla to be an all-around scientist, conducting authoritative research not only on alternating current systems but also on radio systems.
He is also so good at radar.
I remember a saying about him that was passed down in later history.
He said he had the ability to split the world but was unwilling to do so.
Jiang Li didn't know if Nikola Tesla really had such an ability.
At least unless he was willing to show it himself, no one could force this stubborn person to do so.
Old guy.
However, it is precisely because of such a resolute character that he can go on the road of science for such a long time.

It is a pity that the Republic of China has a population of 40 million, which is definitely the largest in the world.
However, due to the backward system, such great scientists have not been born yet.
"Commander, as the saying goes, the human heart is made of flesh.
It's impossible to arrange for the people around him to be subtle to him."
Gao Zhihang asked tentatively.
"Don't think about these crooked ideas.
If Professor Tesla was really a fool, he wouldn't have achieved such an achievement.
He also saw that the murderous intent of the Japanese army was really serious, so he was willing to use defensive weapons such as radar against him.
No matter how much the northwest helper asks for, he still understands that he may not be able to help.
The key is to cultivate our own scientists in the Republic of China, otherwise we can only rely on people's faces in this matter. " Jiang Li waved his hand.
With Nikola Tesla's character, the other party would not join the Sky Eye Project originally.
Fortunately, several atrocities committed by the Japanese army also helped Northwest a lot, saving him the trouble of persuading Tesla.
However, Nikola Tesla’s contribution to the Northwest is by no means just radar.
It can even be said that the northwest industry can achieve its current results because of Tesla’s contribution.
The electricity industry in the Northwest was originally almost a blank slate.
Although Nikola Tesla was not involved in the specific affairs, the power layout of the northwest was completed based on his sketches.
Therefore, electricity can produce considerable output with the same input, so that under Jiang Li's deliberate action, there is a large amount of surplus, and this surplus electricity has basically become the driving force of the Nirvana Plan.
This is probably something Tesla didn't expect.
His original intention was not to create terrible weapons of war, but he became the promoter of the most terrifying weapons in human history.
"Send someone from the lowly position in the laboratory to urge you," Gao Zhihang asked tentatively.
If Tesla was offended and made angry, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
He had to get Jiang Li's permission first.
"No, let's see later.
If there are any atrocities committed by the Japanese army on the battlefield, collect more and use some propaganda campaigns.
I will let people spread the news to Tesla's ears."
Jiang Li waved his hand. , had a correspondingly big temper, and did not like to be controlled by others.
Wherever the Japanese army marched, they burned, killed, and looted all the way, so there was no need to spend any effort to fabricate it.
At the moment of the Songhu Battle, it looked like Nanjing would not be able to hold on for long.
Once the Songhu side collapsed, hundreds of thousands of troops were crowded on the retreat.
If they could not withdraw in an orderly manner, Nanjing would not be able to hold on for long.
I don’t know if the Nanjing tragedy in history will happen again.
If it does happen, Nikola Tesla will not remain indifferent.
At this moment, in order to seize the initiative in Henan as soon as possible, Jiang Li could not avoid temporarily having an enmity with Nanjing.
Although the Northwest Army still had certain trump cards, it was indeed beyond its reach against Nanjing.
At this time, even British and American radar research had not gone very far.
Although the Northwest Sky Eye Project has had many twists and turns, it has not been easy to get to this point.
Besides, with Nikola Tesla, a genius in the scientific world, he will not be far behind the great powers
