Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Although Chen Xin expressed the impossibility of designing a larger mobile base in a short period of time, neither the military nor the high-level officials entrusted him with this task.

Facing the entrustment of the military and high-level officials, which was half an order and half a request, Chen Xin could only agree.

After all, this is indeed related to the victory of human beings in this war against alien creatures. If possible, Chen Xin also hopes to provide more advantages for the country and human beings.

The design of a large mobile base will naturally not be as simple as the previous mobile bases.

It can even be said that because of the difference in function and shape between the two, it is almost a complete redesign of one.

After all, the size of the ship has been enlarged so much that the entire hull structure and mode of travel must be redesigned instead of simply enlarging the original mobile base.

Although it is said that a lot of technical experience can be learned from the original mobile base, large mobile bases still cannot apply these experiences mechanically.

While thinking about how to design a large mobile base, Chen Xin also picked up a pen and paper to draw a sketch on the paper.

According to the requirements of the military, an aircraft carrier is actually the most suitable for them, but it is obvious that the aircraft carrier cannot come to the shore, and the previous disasters also made all the ships of the navy lose their usefulness, and the aircraft carrier is no exception .

"So you want to design a land carrier?" Chen Xin shook his head helplessly as he looked at what he had randomly sketched on the paper, which looked like an aircraft carrier with tracks added.

Drawing a picture is simple, but if you really want to design it, it is by no means as simple as installing crawlers under the aircraft carrier.

Among other things, the displacement of a large aircraft carrier is more than 70,000 tons, and the largest can even be more than 100,000 tons. Such a huge weight does not matter at sea. With sea water supporting it, there will be no problem.

But on land, these weights are all pressed on the ground, and any uneven force may cause the entire hull to overturn or even break.

Moreover, a runway that can take off and land fighter jets, even if it is only a carrier-based aircraft, needs to be at least two to three hundred meters long. Such a large movable object can move on the ground, not to mention the problems of bearing and force. Passing terrain is a problem.

However, since he took over the job, what should be done is still to be done.

The requirement put forward by the military is to be able to take off and land fighter jets, but it is unrealistic to make a runway of two to three hundred meters long like an aircraft carrier.

However, the takeoff and landing of fighter jets is not the only way to taxi on the runway. The catapult or vertical takeoff and landing used by the aircraft carrier itself in order to shorten the length of the runway are all reference methods.

"Using vertical take-off and landing to shorten the length of the runway and increase the number of missile silos..." Chen Xin gradually sorted out his thoughts, and with the clarification of his thoughts, he gradually had a general direction.

As Chen Xin gradually found his way, the sketches on the blueprint gradually became clear: "Vertical take-off and landing positions are set up on the deck, lifting platforms are installed, hangars are placed below the deck, and missile silos are installed on the side, which can be launched obliquely. Usually can be put away..."

In this version of the design, Chen Xin did not lengthen the runway too much, but changed the landing platform protruding from the side of the hangar of the mobile base to be placed on the top deck.

In addition, the vertical take-off and landing method is adopted, and only the top deck is used as a take-off and landing position, and it is not used as a runway, so there is no need to increase the length too much.

As for the missile launch port, it was originally placed on the top deck. Although the launch port of the mobile base can be retained after the top deck is used for take-off and landing, in order not to affect the take-off and landing of deck aircraft.

After Chen Xin thought about it, he still placed it on the side of the mobile base, and made it at an oblique angle, with the bottom inside the mobile base and the launch port outside.

"It's almost the same after changing it like this. Next, we need to make it bigger." Chen Xin looked at the thing he had designed, and nodded in satisfaction.

Although it takes a lot of process and verification to convert the drawings into real objects, and many places need to be modified according to the actual situation, but at present this is only a conceptual design drawing, and it is enough to reflect the design idea, but it does not need to be done too detailed.

Therefore, it didn't take too long for Chen Xin to complete the blueprint of the so-called large mobile base.

The large mobile bases on the drawings are indeed larger or longer than the mobile bases currently used by the military.

After Chen Xin thought about it, although he didn't make the top deck a runway, he still lengthened the overall length of the mobile base, and installed catapults and arresting cables on the top deck so that when necessary, he could Used to take off and land aircraft.

Of course, although such a function is designed, large mobile bases still use vertical take-off and landing as the main method of take-off and landing. Although doing so requires redesigning a fighter that can take off and land vertically, Chen Xin thinks it is still worthwhile.

As for the lengthening of the hull, it is not only to allow the top deck to have the function of a runway, but more importantly, to expand the hangar so that it can accommodate more fighter jets.

After all, fighter jets are different from helicopters. They are more powerful and larger in size, so a hangar large enough to accommodate fighter jets is needed.

Also because of this reason, the decks of aircraft carriers are actually very high. Although there is a huge space inside, the largest space is always the hangar.

Therefore, when Chen Xin was designing a large-scale mobile base, he also removed the deck below the original hangar and turned it into a part of the hangar, allowing more space in the hangar to accommodate more fighter jets .

In addition, there is the missile launch port on the side. Although it is placed obliquely, so that part of the launch mechanism protrudes from the hull, most of the structure is still inside the hull. Chen Xin has also made certain adjustments to this part. , but the overall change is not significant.

As for other parts of the mobile base, Chen Xin didn't make much adjustments, but just optimized the internal space structure and expanded the area used as a field hospital.

"It looks okay, but I'm afraid the power system and moving mechanism need to be redone!" The structural design of the superstructure is easy to do, but the moving mechanism at the bottom is the focus of this large mobile base, which is what makes Chen Xin think The headache part.

Fortunately, this matter does not require him to have a headache alone. After reprocessing the finished concept design drawing and transforming it into a more detailed and formal design drawing, Chen Xin sent the drawing to the relevant units and asked them to A design drawing to propose a design proposal.

For Chen Xin, what he wants is not technology, but ideas. As long as ideas can solve problems and are practical, he can transform them into actual technologies.
