Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 563: Logistics

Will the war last long? Chen Xin didn't know this, but he felt that at least he had to be prepared for a long-term war.

And the development of corrosion-resistant armor, even if the armor is developed and the war is over, the armor is useless, this can still be used as a technical reserve, and will not be wasted.

What's more, Chen Xin, who consciously has system assistance, does not think that he needs to delay the development of a corrosion-resistant armor until the end of the war.

As the task continued, the researchers under Chen Xin didn't waste any time, and soon began the research and development of anti-corrosion coatings and anti-corrosion armor.

Chen Xin himself was also involved, and started designing a new model of the Titan.

At this time, the entire dome city has been operating efficiently, and all the work is proceeding in an orderly manner. Although there are still many things that need to be handled by Chen Xin, after Chen Xin entrusts most of the work to Tang Tang to do it as an agent , he can focus most of his energy on the design of the new Titan.

The large-scale application and actual combat test of the general-purpose type of Titan on the battlefield has made this type of Titan very revealing, but it has also exposed a lot of problems.

First of all, just like the zoo of the Iron Cross, although it is indeed advanced and easy to use, the maintenance of the Titan is still a very troublesome thing.

So far, in the entire war zone, only the Titan storage room and the Titan driver training base left by the original scientific research center can provide complete Titan maintenance and repair services. Easy maintenance with replacement consumables.

However, this level of maintenance obviously does not guarantee the Titan's use on the battlefield.

The situation of running out of ammo is very common on the battlefield against alien creatures. After all, when the overwhelming locust-like alien creatures are coming towards you, the only thing you can do is to turn around and run. , or hold the trigger and don't let go, and send all the bullets out of the chamber.

But in addition to replenishing ammo, the biggest problem for the Titan is the wear and tear of the outer armor and the wear of the joint parts.

The wear and tear of the joint parts was exposed when Chen Xin took the Titans to the southwest for disaster relief and used them for the first time.

He has tried to solve this problem, and he has indeed made a lot of improvements, replacing parts with better quality, adjusting the structure, and reducing wear as much as possible...

However, these parts are still easily damaged during heavy use, although this is only relative to other parts.

So in a previous improvement, Chen Xin and the researchers simply designed these parts to be cheap and replaceable. Once damaged to a certain extent, the entire part can be directly removed and replaced with a new one.

And the old parts will not be thrown away, the worn parts will be removed for maintenance, and the other parts that are still in good condition can be reused.

Just replacing damaged parts requires professional maintenance workers and a professional site.

Because there were not many Titans in use before, and they were not used for such high-intensity combat missions, and almost all Titans at that time were concentrated in the Titan training base and scientific research center, as a whole, the two maintenance point is completely sufficient.

But now the battlefield is fierce, and the Titans also have heavy combat tasks every day. Most of the time, the driver can rest, and after the maintenance of the body, they will be replaced.

Although this maintains the number of Titans on the battlefield and ensures that there are enough Titans to fight on the battlefield, the consequence is that the consumption of Titans is much higher than that of normal use.

The replacement parts consume a lot of money, and a large number of parts that can be recycled can only be sent to the training base and the maintenance room of the scientific research center that has now become the headquarters, which undoubtedly affects the maintenance of the Titan. efficient.

So Chen Xin intends to adopt a more maintenance-friendly design in the design of the new Titan, not only the easy replacement of parts, but also the ability to set up a simple maintenance point on the front line to complete the maintenance of a Titan. Not to make it too dependent on logistics.

Though so far, Titan's performance on the battlefield is far from being "too" logistically dependent.

The most critical problem that really causes this lack of logistical maintenance is that Titan is a new equipment that is in the finalization, research and development and trial stages. A complete logistics support system has not been established.

It is precisely because of all this that the Titans perform well on the battlefield, but at the same time, logistical maintenance is very difficult.

In fact, for modern warfare, it is no longer about fighting for numbers, occupying space, or winning an entire war by winning one battle.

What really determines the victory of a modern war is more logistics. It can even be said that since the Napoleonic era, the key to military victory has become the success of logistics support.

This is reflected even on the battlefield with alien creatures.

In fact, in terms of the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, although the human army is not superior in individual strength, the military power and various advanced weapons at the disposal of human beings are enough to defeat alien creatures. know.

But the rate at which aliens replenish their offspring far exceeds the rate at which humans replenish equipment on the battlefield.

Humans can spend a week building a bomb and transporting it to the battlefield, killing a bunch of aliens, but in this week, aliens can hatch the bomb and kill it More than double the number of new daughters, and send them to the battlefield~IndoMTL.com~ This is the most intuitive comparison of logistics supply capabilities between humans and alien creatures at this time.

So for Chen Xin, the design of the new Titan must take into account whether the logistics can keep up, and whether the current national production capacity can meet the needs of mass production.

And more importantly, compatibility.

The design of the new Titan will take time. Although Chen Xin will soon be able to come up with a suitable finalization plan, it will take time to arrange production, equip the front line, and form combat effectiveness. Mass production of the original Universal Titan.

And this will also lead to the fact that after the design of the new titan, the military equipment is more of the original general-purpose titan.

If there is a big difference in the way of driving, the parts used for maintenance and the way of maintenance between the two Titans, it will inevitably lead to various problems in use.

Although it does not mean that it cannot be overcome, as a designer, since you have thought of it, you should avoid these problems.
