Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

"A transport-type mobile base? That's a good idea."

It was still the leader who had a video call with Chen Xin last time, but this time Chen Xin had returned to the research center and was talking to the leader with the help of the research center's communication equipment.

In the face of the leadership's attitude, Chen Xin naturally felt that the possibility of passing the plan was a little higher, so he unfolded the nano-molecule in his hand and projected the transport-type mobile base he had designed in the past few days. Explained his entire plan to the leader.

"This is a transport-type mobile base that I designed. Compared with the previous model, I have made some adjustments to its internal structure." Chen Xin showed his design to the leaders, and highlighted the modified parts for illustration. : "The original vehicle garage at the bottom is retained, but a lift is installed here to facilitate the transportation and loading of materials, and the second deck connected by the lift will be transformed into a large warehouse for storing materials."

Since it is a transport-type mobile base, there must be space for loading goods.

When Chen Xin designed the transport-type mobile base, he naturally took this into consideration. The length of the original mobile base was lengthened, and the power compartment responsible for the function was moved backward to the rear of the hull and placed between the bottom deck and the second deck. .

Then move the personnel cabin and other living facilities to the top deck, so that the entire second deck is vacant and can be used as a cargo hold comparable to a warehouse.

In terms of personnel allocation, the transport-type mobile base is not as much as the field support type and the medical type. The corresponding personnel cabin can naturally reduce some space. After moving to the top deck, it can still be arranged. Even if this The hangar took up more than half of the space.

It took Chen Xin several days and the system upgrade to optimize the drawings. There are no loopholes or problems in this scheme itself.

"Because it is a transport type, the vehicles carried must also be adjusted accordingly. I adjusted the original all-terrain vehicle to a newly designed carrier, and the four helicopters with different functions carried in the hangar were reduced to one. A transport helicopter." Chen Xin continued to explain his adjustment to the mobile base to the leaders.

Listening to Chen Xin's explanation and watching the demonstration animation projected by the nano-molecule in front of him, the leader nodded with satisfaction.

Just as the leader nodded his head, he also frowned and said, "Although it looks really good, this mobile base should be more than 100 meters long according to your design, Academician Chen? We have the ability to make such a big thing. Build it? Is it necessary to build it?"

The leader's question seemed to have pressed the pause button, causing Chen Xin, who had been in high spirits, to stop explaining.

Can it be built, how much resources will be spent to build it, whether the country can afford such a resource investment, whether the final result can be proportional to the invested resources, and whether such a large investment is necessary...

Although these problems do not seem to be related to the mobile base itself, they are the key to restricting Chen Xin's plan and the practical application of the mobile base.

Are mobile bases useful? Of course it works.

Is the mobile base easy to use? Of course it works.

But is a mobile base necessary?

Not necessarily.

Mobile bases are not something that must be built. In the current state of Yan Kingdom, having mobile bases will certainly make the situation better, but not having them will not make the situation worse.

So building a mobile base isn't necessary, especially when the cost of building it isn't cheap.

It's like what the Suvians faced when they built the mobile base's predecessor, the Land Cruiser.

Does this thing work? Useful, but not that useful.

And it is too expensive. With this investment, it is better to build 180 more tanks and make up an armored division to do the same thing.

This is also the reason why the Suvians sealed the three Land Cruisers back then, because it was so tasteless.

The situation that Yan Guo is facing now is naturally not that bad. After Chen Xin's adjustment and upgrade, the mobile base can still be useful.

It's just that the cost is too high, making it less cost-effective.

After all, the current state of the Yan Kingdom can also be called precarious. Although the domestic situation in all aspects is still optimistic, the overall situation is still grim, and the country has not escaped the various impacts brought about by the disaster.

In particular, the previous Southwest Earthquake was a heavy blow to Yan Guo. Although there was no serious problem, it also greatly affected Yan Guo in a short period of time.

"I understand what you mean by the leader. From the current situation, I think the construction of the mobile base is necessary." Chen Xin did not use any words or deliberately exaggerate to persuade the leader, but took a practical attitude. In expounding: "The high investment and high cost of the mobile base itself is indeed its disadvantage, but relatively speaking, the maintenance cost of a transport-type mobile base is much lower than that of a region where materials are transported by traditional methods. consumption.

The investment is worth it in the long run, and as the mobile base is successfully built, the return on the investment can be seen quickly.

The only problem is the construction of the mobile base itself, and whether the country can dedicate enough resources to build the mobile base. "

"Yes, Academician Chen, your analysis is in place. The country is indeed facing difficulties now, and it will not be able to make such a large investment to build a mobile base for a while." The expression on the leader's face also became a little helpless.

If Yan Guo still has the industrial construction capacity before the disaster, then he can approve Chen Xin's plan without thinking so much, but now that the country's industrial production capacity is still recovering, he is really unable to implement such a huge plan. .

You must know that according to Chen Xin's plan, each province is equipped with a mobile base, and provinces with larger areas will be equipped with more according to the actual situation.

A single mobile base may not be very expensive, and the country can still afford it, but more than 30...

This is already comparable to the investment of two complete aircraft carrier formations, and it is not something that the country can afford now.

As for building one or two units first to improve the situation in some areas, this may be a compromise solution, but it is still not a trivial matter, and the impact and the things involved still need careful consideration.

Such a big matter is not something that can be easily decided even if the leader who talks to Chen Xin has a high weight, so he thought about it and said to Chen Xin: "Academician Chen, please improve the design of this transport-type mobile base first. How to build it and how much to invest in making a detailed plan, we need to seriously discuss it before making a decision.”
