Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 621: Disputes over design ideas

For the design of the land-based aircraft carrier frigate, Chen Xin recruited weapons experts from both the army and the navy.

A land aircraft carrier is of course a vehicle on land. How to design the frigate's defense and use which weapons to fight, the army's weapons experts are undoubtedly the most powerful.

However, such a large-scale weapon platform has never been seen in the Army. Even with a mobile base as a reference, it still needs naval weapons experts to provide some valuable experience.

After all, the navy is a veteran at playing this big guy compared to the army.

"I suggest not designing too large a land frigate like this." The naval weapons expert who first expressed his opinion said to Chen Xin: "As a frigate, the main meaning of its existence is to protect the land. aircraft carrier, so everything should revolve around that.

The navy's previous ships were made so large, which was based on actual needs. Ocean voyages had requirements for the size of the hull, and it would not be possible to make them small.

After all, the wind and waves at sea are so big, the smaller the hull, the less ability to resist the wind and waves. When a wave comes over, the whole ship is thrown up, so what kind of battle is there?

But you are using it on land, so you can carry enough defensive weapons. You don't need to consider ocean-going self-sustaining, and you don't need to make it that big. "

Listening to the words of the naval weapons expert, Chen Xin was still nodding slightly. When he felt that what they said made sense, the army weapons expert on the side was not happy: "Why don't our army need to make it so big? Co-authored Only your navy can make big guys, right?"

Of course, the Army's weapons experts are just joking, not really opinionated.

However, for the Army, the opportunity to build a big guy is also their dream.

After all, the navy ships with thousands of tons and tens of thousands of tons, just like dumplings, and the army has few items of hundreds of tons. I would make fun of it myself.

Of course, joking aside, the army's weapons expert said seriously during the discussion: "I suggest to adopt a more mature design, first design a common chassis, and then design the chassis according to different functions. Install different weapons and equipment.

Such a design can adjust the grouping of frigates according to different mission requirements to meet various operational needs such as air defense and land operations, and common chassis parts can also facilitate logistical repair and maintenance, which is very important for the entire fleet outside. Continued fighting can greatly improve. "

Using a unified common chassis, and then replacing different modules to achieve different functions, this is indeed a good design idea.

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

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

If a different chassis design is used, there is no such convenient function, and one more model of parts is an additional burden for logistics and production.

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

So at this point, both Army and Navy weapons experts agree, but the two sides are arguing about how big this chassis should be.

"I still don't think it can be done too much. If it is too big, it will be inflexible. Whether it is production, maintenance, or use itself, it is inconvenient." Navy weapons experts still insist that frigates cannot be made too large. big.

However, the army's weapons experts argue that they don't want the frigate to be too small: "What's the use of making the frigate too small? If it's too small, I might as well use 4-25 anti-aircraft guns and tank groups with helicopters. !

The frigate of the land aircraft carrier needs to act together with the land aircraft carrier. 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, with such a large tonnage, not to mention how to build it, such a heavy weight is enough to just move it? And the land is no better than the ocean, except for the plain terrain, where can you find a guy who can pass such a large tonnage. Where? And it’s still a fleet trip, which is not practical on land!” After some quarrel, the naval weapons expert was about to slap the table angrily.

However, the Army's weapons expert doesn't know this, but he still wants to get a big enough guy for the Army.

Listening to the quarrel between the two sides, Chen Xin had to come out to mediate and said to the two weapons experts: "Both of them have extinguished the fire. In fact, I have solved the problem of traffic. The land traffic capacity is not a limitation on land. frigate tonnage factor.”

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

This matter is also secret within the military and high-level officials, and it has not been disclosed to the public, so even the weapons experts of the army and navy are not aware of the matter.

However, it's not impossible to tell the two weapons experts about this matter. After all, to find them to assist in the design of the frigate, the information that should be known still needs to be said.

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~IndoMTL.com~, the two weapons experts couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

"If that's the case... wouldn't the aircraft carrier be able to fly?" The Navy's weapons experts thought of the aircraft carrier on its way to set 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 achieve the air energy of floating." Chen Xin nodded affirmatively.

Hearing Chen Xin say that they can fly, the eyes of the two weapons experts met, and brilliance flashed from their eyes.

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

"Yes, if you fly in the sky, the firing range of weapons is completely different, and the overall structure of the platform and the arrangement of weapon positions also need to be reconsidered." The naval weapons 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 such a frigate for land-based aircraft carriers.
