My client Li Yunlong

"Lieutenant Colonel."

Northern Review.

No wires war room.

A staff officer walked in and woke up the radio expert Shibata who was sleeping on the table.

"Tekko asked me to ask you."

The staff officer asked:

"Can we locate the enemy's navigation beacon signal now?"

"Yesterday, eight more transport planes landed near Beiping, and more than a hundred Republican intellectuals who resisted the empire were picked up by the Eighth Route Army."

"Tekko is still such a waste."

Shibata, who was woken up, glanced at the staff officer and sneered.

The order from the top of the imperial military,
All agencies and departments were required to strengthen the supervision of the intellectuals of the Republic of China who resisted the empire. If necessary, they would even arrest and place them under house arrest, just to prevent these talents from falling into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Under such strict orders,
In one day, more than a hundred people were picked up by the Eighth Route Army.

There must be a loophole within the agency department.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for more than a hundred people to leave smoothly at the same time without triggering the empire's alert.

However, an overwhelming number of Imperial people have been bribed recently.

Some front army staff officers even complained that the Eighth Route Army obtained the empire's confidential information faster than their staff.

Then, he shook his head and replied:
"Location navigation beacon signal?"

"Tell the Special High School Class that unless they can give me three to five physical navigation beacons, and then give me millions of dollars in funding, and return to my hometown for three to five years of research, I will not be able to locate the navigation beacon on Tubal Road. Location."

Only true technicians like them can know how big the technological gap is between the Locust Army and Tubal Road.

How desperate.

The empire tried its best and even invited German technical experts for help, but it still could not locate the beacon signal used by the Eighth Route Army to calibrate the night navigation of transport aircraft.

Even continuous discovery is not possible.

Because the navigation beacon on Tubal Road still hops fifty times per second, and the frequency span is so large that it once exceeded the empire's most powerful radio tracking instrument.

Even, the operator will turn it on and off regularly.

This makes positioning more difficult.

All he could think of was to start with people.

No matter how good the equipment is, it still needs people to operate it, and people are the biggest loophole in this process.

But obviously,
In the fight with the Tubal Road underground party, the Imperial High-Tech was obviously at a disadvantage. After more than five months of fighting, it still failed to capture the Eighth Route Army's navigation beacon.

"Hi."

The staff officer bowed his head and left.

"Technology!"

After the staff officer left, Shibata sighed silently.

Although the Empire cannot decipher or even locate the enemy's signals, its own technology has been greatly improved in the process of researching and conquering the enemy's technology.

It confirms the old Chinese saying,
If you lose your horse, you will know no blessings.

Especially for radio encryption technology, it can be said that in just a few months, it has improved by several years, and the difficulty of deciphering has increased several times.

This technology was even used by the navy and army at the same time. It was a miracle for the imperial military, which showed how much the technology had improved.

January 41.

Northern Review.

The headquarters of the 27th Division.

"This is the Empire's newest tank."

A tank is in the camp. Its huge size, thick and long barrel means that this is a new model that is very different from all current tanks in Japan.

After Nomenkan, the combination of the BT7 tank's speed and firepower made the Japanese feel deeply about the insufficiency of the empire's armor, so they strengthened the research and development and investment in armor.

However, at that time, the Soviet Union and Japan signed a non-aggression treaty, and the pressure from the Republic of China was low, so the strengthening of research and development this time was just a big deal but not a raindrop.

But with the battle of Zhizishan Bridge, the independent regiment took out a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, combined with tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets, and the Type medium tank, which was the best against the Japanese, turned into scrap metal.

The Japanese senior leaders were deeply aware of the weakness of the Empire's armored tanks, and came up with the idea of ​​developing tanks with thicker armor and stronger firepower.

Then, at the beginning of the Hundred Regiment War, the Independent Regiment took out the PAK 75mm anti-tank gun and quickly advanced this idea.

In the end, with the arrival of a large amount of scrap steel, machinery and equipment, and even purchased technology, as well as the direction of the southward strategy, the German alliance finally led to the birth of this new tank.

of course,

Due to time constraints, only five prototypes have been built so far.

"We named it Type 3 medium tank."

The Japanese technical officer introduced it with great pride.

Although the Japanese call it a Type 3 medium tank, as an emergency product, even if it uses technology from Germany, it is still essentially an improved product of the Type 1 medium tank.

The engine is the same, still a 240-horsepower engine. The body structure is the same, but the turret is enlarged. Because of the increased weight, the speed is reduced.

At the same time, the armor has been strengthened. The front armor has reached 12.7 mm, which is enough to block mm heavy machine gun fire at any distance. Even tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets cannot penetrate at any distance.

"The front armor is fifty millimeters thick."

The introduction of the Japanese technicians caused a panic among the surrounding Japanese.

"What's at stake!"

"Fifty millimeters of armor?"

“This time we finally don’t have to be afraid of Tubal Road’s heavy machine guns.”

In the Hundred Regiment War, the Japanese tank troops attacked from all sides, but suffered heavy losses. The core reason was that the troops were equipped with a large number of 12.7 mm heavy machine guns.

With a mere 25mm of frontal armor and 12mm of side armor, tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets can penetrate the sides at a distance of almost 500 meters.

It can penetrate the front within three hundred meters. Even at a distance of five hundred meters, if dense machine gun fire coverage is used, a Japanese tank can be destroyed from the front.

"Can it block the Eighth Route Army's anti-tank guns?"

But a pointed question was raised.

Suddenly,

The venue was quiet.

The model of Tubal Road's new anti-tank gun has been investigated by the intelligence agency. It is the German PAK40 anti-tank gun, but it is more powerful because of its more advanced technology.

Can fifty millimeters be blocked?
"Can't stop it."

The devil's technical staff answered honestly.

"It's not a big problem. The enemy has a good number of artillery pieces like this."

Some military officers defended the Locust Army.

All the devils looked at each other and expressed no doubt about this statement.

The enemy's anti-tank artillery is indeed not many, probably only seventy to eighty. However, the empire's new tanks cannot stop the enemy's artillery shells, not to mention the number is smaller.

They haven’t even served yet!

Massachusetts Biochemistry Laboratory.

"It's... incredible."

Dr. Frecles looked at the bottle of imported insulin in his hand, his tone full of wonder:

"How on earth is this done?"

Ever since insulin was discovered and its efficacy was established, its preparation has been the number one problem in medicine.

Originally extracted from animal pancreas.

However, one ton of animal pancreas can only extract five grams of insulin. The yield is low and the price is expensive. In the United States alone, more than one million people need insulin, which cannot meet the market demand at all.

Moreover, there are subtle differences in amino acid structure between animal insulin and human insulin, which can cause immune reactions and reduce drug efficacy.

And the purification process is difficult to remove all impurities. When insulin is extracted from animals, impurities mixed with it may cause allergic reactions and even cause animal-borne infections.

But even so, insulin is still hard to find on the market.

Since 1921, when animal insulin was extracted and used in medicine, Dr. Frecles and his mentor have been working on the synthesis of artificial insulin.

But so far, even the basic structure of insulin cannot be analyzed.

Not to mention synthesis.

Therefore, when he saw the pure and perfect medicinal crystal of insulin, Dr. Frecles was extremely amazed - how on earth could this be done.

Dr. Frecles's shock was actually quite normal.

In fact,
Later, in 56, the amino acid structure analysis of insulin was completed, and humans could really see the structure of insulin clearly.

then,

It was not until 65 that China completed the chemical synthesis of bovine insulin for the first time, and it even came close to winning the Nobel Prize.

It was not until the late 1970s that major international pharmaceutical companies achieved industrialized chemical synthesis of human insulin.

but,

The efficiency of chemical synthesis is still very low, which makes the cost of producing insulin extremely high and cannot meet market demand at all.

It was not until the mid-1980s, when genetic recombination technology matured, that large-scale industrial production of insulin was achieved. Since then, the price of insulin has dropped and it has entered the homes of ordinary people.

Therefore,
At this time, Dr. Frecles was shocked when he saw the insulin in front of him.

"Why··"

After a long time, Dr. Frecles let out a long sigh, looked down at a translation manuscript, looked dazed, and let out a long sigh.

The translated manuscript is about the biological structure of insulin.

Broken down to each amino acid.

This chart about the amino acid structure of insulin is a goal that Dr. Frecles and his mentor have been pursuing for more than ten years.

But now, this ultimate goal is right in front of him.

So that
He doesn't know what to do?
If it had been published a year ago, the Nobel Prize would have definitely gone to him.

but now···

There is one in the instructions on every insulin package.

This is not something some genius can do.

This requires a complete set of advanced research equipment and systems.

It is the result of ultra-advanced industrialization.

"No wonder."

At this moment, I understood why the top government officials would relax the situation in the Pacific and relax U.S.-Japan trade as normal.

Peep a leopard with a tube.

Through this insulin amino acid instruction manual, Dr. Frecles could see that behind this instruction manual was a complete set of advanced technological research systems that he could hardly imagine.

This is a biochemical research system that the United States cannot match.

Advanced technology that is at least twenty years advanced.

Then,

How powerful is the research and production of such pure insulin, 90% pure penicillin sodium salt, high blood pressure drugs, and antidepressant drugs?

There is such a terrifying force lurking in the world.

How can we not let the United States be like a thorn in the back and a lump in the throat? (End of chapter)
