Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

In the narrow and closed bridge, the operators are sitting in front of the equipment, staring intently at the screens in front of them.

The officer sitting in the captain's position was a little uncomfortable. Although he had been on the ship for a few days, as an army officer, he was still not used to this kind of naval bridge.

"Navigator, report our current position." As if to alleviate the discomfort caused by this slight discomfort, the captain asked the navigator who was operating the radar.

Because of the narrowness of the bridge, there were not many people on the bridge. Apart from the captain himself, there were only four people, the helmsman, the communications officer, the first officer, and the navigator who was asked by the captain.

"We are now at XX degrees east longitude and XX degrees north latitude, and the radar shows that everything is normal." The navigator glanced at the radar and informed the captain.

Hearing the navigator's answer, the captain nodded knowingly, and asked again: "How far are we from our destination?"

"According to the radar, we are still about 80 kilometers away from our destination. At our current forward speed, we will arrive in six hours." The navigator only briefly calculated the distance on the radar, and then gave the captain a gave an accurate reply.

This made the captain heave a sigh of relief. He was still a little nervous about carrying out such a mission for the first time, but now he was relieved to hear that he could reach the destination in six hours.

The vehicle, or warship, he was driving was the latest land-ship equipped to the army.

However, this is not a newly built warship, but Chen Xin remodeled it with those warships frozen in the military port.

Its prototype is an old-fashioned naval ship. After Chen Xin's upgrade and transformation, it has now become a land ship.

The hull and the hull of the original naval vessel have been greatly changed. There are four more crawlers under the original hull as the traveling mechanism, and the bow part has also been transformed into a huge dock for accommodating the ship. Vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles carried on board.

As for the deck, the bow of the ship was changed from a pointed one to a flat one because it does not need to break through the waves, and the armament was strengthened at the same time.

The original naval gun on the front deck has been upgraded, and a double-mounted 75mm electromagnetic gun has been installed, while the original missile launch port on the deck has been moved to the rear deck. At the same time, the bridge has been shrunk and moved forward to make the deck appear More compact and smaller.

In addition to the missile launch port, the rear deck also retains the original helicopter hangar and landing platform.

In addition, two more single-mounted 75mm electromagnetic guns were added to the side, and the original smoke exhaust pipe was removed.

After all, after installing the new nuclear electric power system, there is no need for the original huge oil tank and engine room, nor the huge chimney.

Therefore, after such a transformation, the hull that was originally more than 100 meters long was shortened a lot to only more than 70 meters, and the hull became low and compact.

However, because the original ship type of this ship was a destroyer, Chen Xin did not change its purpose after being transformed into a land carrier, but instead used it as a small mobile base for maintaining the border that he had previously discussed with the military. implementation plan.

The original helicopter hangar on the ship is still preserved, but Chen Xin also installed the 3D printing equipment here.

Usually this is a hangar for parking helicopters, but when necessary, the helicopter can be moved to the take-off and landing platform at the stern, and then turned into a 3D printing workshop for printing what is needed.

The reason why the two are combined is also to save space. After all, the whole ship is so big. In order to better drive on land, Chen Xin also reduced the volume and length. Given the limited space, it is indeed impossible. Then set aside a space for 3D printing.

At the same time, after some upgrades and modifications by Chen Xin, the number of pilots required by this land carrier has also been greatly reduced, and the number of necessary pilots has even been reduced to less than fifty by Chen Xin.

However, according to the previous military requirements, in addition to the crew, this land ship is also equipped with a reinforced machine infantry company for border patrols and other combat missions.

According to the original plan, they will arrive at the border area of ​​Inner Mongolia, establish three permanent strongholds in the border area, and resume border patrols, and this land cruiser is the support for their implementation of this plan.

For the task assigned by the military, the captain didn't have any other ideas other than completing the task.

Obeying orders as a soldier is a bounden duty, not to mention that it is the task of defending the country.

It's just that the captain is still a little worried about how to better complete this task.

After all, it was the first time for the captain whether it was the equipment, the mission, or the environment in which the mission was performed. He really didn't know how to establish a permanent stronghold in such a icy and snowy environment.

Although the military equipped the land carrier with a scientific officer in charge of this matter and an engineering team assigned to the ship before departure, the captain has also had detailed exchanges with the other party in the past few days to understand The key to completing this mission is to equip them with 3D printing equipment.

But for the captain, facing a field he had never touched before, this still made him feel uncertain.

It's just that as a soldier, if you shrink back in the face of difficulties, you really can't be called a qualified soldier, so even though he has no confidence in his heart, he still firmly believes that he will successfully complete the task.

Just when the captain was considering whether to go to the scientific officer to ask about the establishment of a permanent base after he would rotate with the chief mate later, the communications officer on the side suddenly reported: "Report to the captain, No. Come to the communication and ask if you need to speed up your progress and reach the target location earlier."

Hearing the inquiry from No. 2 ship, the captain thought about it and said to the communication officer: "Reply to No. 2 ship and maintain the current forward speed."

The captain did not agree with the proposal of the No. 2 ship. Although they are now advancing at cruising speed, they can indeed advance to full speed to reach the target location about an hour earlier, but for the sake of safety, the captain decided to maintain the current speed. .

This land cruiser is not advancing alone, there are three other land cruisers around him, but among them, only the No. 2 ship that sent the communication is going to perform the border garrison mission like this land cruiser.

The other two land-ships have different configurations from them, and will continue to move forward, chasing the land carrier that has already gone to Lucia, and going to Europe with it as the escort formation of the carrier.

Therefore, considering the requirements for the formation to advance, the captain does not intend to speed up, and everything is safe.
