Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Regarding the design of the aircraft carrier frigate on land, Chen Xin recruited weapons experts from both the army and the navy.

Aircraft carriers on land are of course vehicles on land. The army's weapons experts are undoubtedly the most vocal about how to design the frigate's defense and which weapons should be used for combat.

However, this kind of large-scale weapon platform has never existed in the Army. Even with a mobile base as a reference, it still needs naval weapon experts to provide some valuable experience.

After all, compared to the army, the navy is an old expert at playing such big guys.

"For a land frigate like this, I suggest not to design it too big." The first to express his opinion was a naval weapon expert. He said to Chen Xin: "As a frigate, its main purpose is to protect the aircraft carrier on land, so Everything should be done around this purpose.

In the past, the Navy built such a large ship based on actual needs. Ocean-going voyages have requirements for the size of the ship, and making it smaller will not work.

After all, the wind and waves on the sea are so strong, and the smaller the hull, the smaller the ability to resist wind and waves. When a wave comes, the whole ship is thrown up, so there is no need to talk about combat.

But if you use it on land, it is enough to be able to carry enough defensive weapons, and you don’t need to consider ocean-going navigation and self-sustainability, and you don’t need to make it so big. "

Listening to what the naval weapons expert said, Chen Xin was still nodding slightly. When he felt that what he said made sense, the army weapon expert beside him was not happy: "What do you mean our army doesn't need to build it so big? Your navy will be the one who co-authors it." It can make big guys, right?"

Of course, what the Army weapons experts said was just a joke, and they didn't really have any opinions.

But for the army, it is their dream to have the opportunity to build big guys.

After all, the navy’s ships of thousands of tons and tens of thousands of tons are just like making dumplings, and the army’s even less than a hundred tons of things, so it’s inevitable that they will sometimes be used as jokes, and sometimes the army itself will Just kidding about it.

Of course, jokes are jokes. During the serious discussion, the army’s weapon experts still said seriously: “I suggest to adopt a more mature design, first design a general-purpose chassis, and then install different weapons according to different functions on the chassis. Weaponry.

Such a design can adjust the formation of frigates according to different mission requirements to meet various operational needs such as air defense and land-to-land operations. The general-purpose chassis parts can also facilitate logistical repair and maintenance, which is essential for the continuous operations of the entire fleet. It can be greatly improved. "

It is indeed a good design idea to adopt a unified universal chassis and then replace different modules to achieve different functions.

A unified chassis means common use of parts, which can save a lot of energy and consumption in both production and logistical maintenance.

The benefits brought by the universal chassis are the replaceability between different functional modules. When necessary, damaged modules or chassis can be removed and replaced with usable spare parts, so that combat effectiveness can still be maintained.

If different chassis designs are used, there will be no such convenient functions, and one more model of parts will be an additional burden for logistics and production.

Not only do you need to prepare twice as many parts, but you also have to design another production line, which will cause more consumption.

So on this point, both the army and the navy's weapons experts agreed with this, but the two sides had a dispute over how big this chassis should be.

"I still don't think it can be made too big, not to mention inflexible, whether it is production, maintenance, or use itself, it is inconvenient to make it too big." Navy weapons experts still insist that the frigate should not be made too big.

However, the army's weapons experts argued hard, obviously not wanting the frigate to be built too small: "What's the use of making it too small? If it's too small, I might as well use 4-25 anti-aircraft guns and tank clusters directly with helicopters!"

The frigate of an aircraft carrier on land needs to act together with the aircraft carrier on land. It shoulders various combat tasks such as escort, obstacle clearance, air defense, and reconnaissance. How can it be competent for these tasks if it is too small? "

"Even so, such a large tonnage, not to mention how to build it, is such a heavy weight enough to move? And the land is no better than the ocean. Except for plain terrain, where can you find a place that can pass such a large tonnage? And It’s still a fleet trip, which is simply not practical on land!” After a quarrel, the naval weapon experts were about to slap the table angrily.

However, the army's weapons experts don't know this, but he still hopes to get a big enough big guy for the army.

Hearing the quarrel between the two sides, Chen Xin had no choice but to smooth things over, and said to the two weapon experts: "Both of you have eliminated the fire. In fact, I have already solved the problem of traffic. Land traffic capacity is not the limit of the tonnage of land frigates. factor."

"What? Solved?" The army and navy weapon experts looked at Chen Xin together. They didn't know that the land carrier had anti-gravity devices and could fly in the air.

This matter is also a secret within the military and high-level officials, and it has not been made public at present, so even the weapons experts of the army and navy do not know about this matter.

However, it is not impossible to tell the two weapons experts about this matter. After all, if they are asked to assist in the design of the frigate, the information that should be known must be revealed.

So Chen Xin explained to the two weapons experts and let them know about the anti-gravity device.

After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, the two weapons experts couldn't help being stunned, and it took a long time to recover and digest what he said.

"If that's the case... wouldn't the aircraft carrier be able to fly?" The Navy's weapon experts thought of the aircraft carrier that was preparing to sail.

"It is indeed possible to fly, but it still needs to be used with the propulsion system. The anti-gravity device itself can only realize the air energy of floating." Chen Xin nodded affirmatively.

Hearing Chen Xin said that he could fly, the eyes of the two weapons experts met, and their eyes shone with brilliance.

Army weapons experts said: "In this case, we should design the frigate on the premise that it is flying. There are more things to consider when flying in the sky than walking on the ground."

"That's right. If you fly in the sky, the shooting range of the weapon will be completely different. The overall structure of the platform and the arrangement of the weapon positions also need to be reconsidered." The naval weapon expert also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the two parties had reached a consensus, Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and discussed with the two weapons experts how to design this kind of frigate that is assigned to land-based aircraft carriers.
