Time goes back half an hour.

Tens of kilometers away from the Amale Oilfield.

A long runway is not conspicuous in the desert, and the small buildings and the painted exteriors are the same as those of the desert. If you don’t look closely, you will not recognize them at all, especially if you look from the sky, it is simply integrated with the sand dunes.

This is the secret military research base set up by Germany in Libya. The original Black Panther Tank project was taken offline from here, and now it is an important military research base in Germany.

On the runway, a special-shaped aircraft is undergoing preparations before taking off.

Judging from the appearance, this aircraft is different from previous aircraft. The biggest difference is that there are no propellers!

Judging from the size of a fighter, it is the size of a fighter. For an ordinary fighter, the nose should be huge. After all, the engine is installed there and there are propellers extending forward.

But now? The nose is not big and looks very smooth. On the wings on both sides, two cylindrical things are hung.

Some of the layouts similar to the double-engine. This cylindrical thing is not a piston engine, it is the most precious thing of this aircraft, the jet engine.

This is a jet!

There are many differences from propeller aircraft of this era. For example, its wings are swept. Compared with straight wings, it can achieve greater speeds and is the landing gear at the first three points.

At this time, a tall German man was patrolling the plane left and right, with pride on his handsome face.

He is the designer of this plane, Willy Messerschmitt, and this plane is already his greatest pride! This is the first jet aircraft in the world to enter the final final test flight stage!

This aircraft, the me262 fighter, is almost exactly the same as in history, except for the swept wing. The time is several years ahead of schedule.

Messchmitt was very excited.

The success of the bf109 fighter has given Messerschmitt a high reputation. This fighter has been ahead of other countries for several years and has left Britain behind far behind. When the bf109 is flying in the sky, there is nothing he cannot deal with.

Because of this contribution, Hitler commended Messchmitt, and the biggest reward was to rename the Bavarian Aircraft Manufacturing Company to Mercessmit Aircraft Manufacturing Company.

Therefore, the previous aircraft models were all named after BF, while the new aircraft were all named after me! This is the first letter of Dr. Messerchmitt.

(There are readers who have a big question before, isn't it me109? How did it become bf109? To be precise, the Bavarian aircraft factory was renamed in 1938. In the past, they used bf and later, they used me, so bf109 is correct.)

However, the bf109 has not dominated for a few years. Later, with the support of the Navy, the fw190 came out. This fighter with a high-power air-cooled engine surpassed the performance of the fighter.

Messchmitt was very unwilling to give up at that time. He wanted to continue to improve the bf109 so that the performance of this fighter could surpass the other side. However, at the suggestion of Cialek, he changed his plan.

Piston fighter jets are about to reach the limit of performance. Due to the limitation of propellers, the aircraft's speed cannot be too high, especially it cannot exceed the sound speed.

If you want to fly faster, you need jets! And Messchmitt, the next focus is on developing jets!

This is not impossible.

In history, as early as September 1937, Germany's first turbojet engine was designed by Professor Hans Joasim Pabest von O'Hein of the University of Göttingen.

Afterwards, von O'Hein went to work at Ernst Henkel's company. On August 27, 2019, the world's first plane that flew into the sky entirely on a turbojet engine made its first flight.

At the same time, Brandenburg Engine Manufacturing Factory is also manufacturing jet engines, the abbreviation of this site is bmw (not BMW).

The biggest difference between this site plan and O'Hein's design is that it uses an axial flow compressor. Such an engine has a small cross-sectional area and at the same time, the speed is low when the same thrust output is low, which is the most suitable solution under current industrial basic conditions.

Now, with Cialek's journey through time, these technologies have been several years ahead of history. Several domestic companies in Germany have been working hard to study jet engines, and the high investment from the Imperial Aviation Department is the basis.

Last year, the jumo 004 turbojet engine from Juncker Engine Manufacturing stood out from the competition for several engines and was selected as the power of the next generation of jet aircraft by the Imperial Aviation Department. The current me262, the huge engine on the wings on both sides, is this kind of jet engine.

In order to avoid people's eyes, the plane was tested at a base in Libya. The space here is vast. Even if it is a crash, it will not cause accidental damage or leakage.

Every test flight is one step closer to ideals. The aircraft has now entered its final stage. After flying for a while, it can be finalized and delivered to the Air Force slowly.

Next to Messerschmitt, test pilot Fritz Wendell, wearing a full set of flying gear, was ready to board the plane and conduct a test flight.

The weather in Libya is very hot, and Wendell didn't say much. After waving to Messerschmitt, he climbed up the gangway and entered the bubble cockpit to prepare for the takeoff.

At this moment, suddenly, a communication soldier rushed over and shouted loudly: "Emergency, emergency, please stop the test flight immediately. The British bombing is coming soon!"

After the long-range alert radar discovered the British bomber formation, it immediately transmitted the alarm to various places, including the bases here.

The British are coming to bomb, and the test flight is suspended to be on the safe side!

Hearing this, Messchmitt was stunned. Then, a bold idea popped up in his mind: "Release the plane immediately! This time, we can beat the British guys!"

This aircraft has entered the later stage of test flights and has also been equipped with weapons, but it has not loaded bullets. Now it is loaded immediately, just to catch up with the interception!

"But General Albert asked you to stop the test flight." said the Communications Soldier.

"Go to his Albert, I'm directly responsible to the Head of State." Messchmitt said: "Get away!"

This is a good opportunity! Messchmitt is already eager to try.
Chapter completed!
