Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 624: Landlander
In the small and closed bridge, the operators are sitting in front of the equipment, staring intently at the screens in front of them.
The officers sitting in the captain's position are slightly uncomfortable. Although they have been on the ship for a few days, as an army officer, they are still not used to this kind of naval bridge.
"Navigator, report our current position." Seemingly to ease the discomfort caused by this slight habit, the captain asked the navigator who was operating the radar.
Because of the narrowness of the bridge, there are not many people on the bridge. In addition to the captain himself, there are only four people: the helmsman, the communications officer, the chief mate, and the navigator who was asked by the captain.
"We are now at XX degrees east longitude and XX degrees north latitude. The radar shows that everything is normal." The navigator glanced at the radar and informed the captain.
Listening to the navigator's answer, the captain nodded clearly and asked, "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 captain gave an accurate reply.
This made the captain heave a sigh of relief. It was the first time that he had performed such a mission, but he was still a little nervous, but now that he heard that he would reach his destination in six hours, it gave him a lot of peace of mind. .
The vehicle, or warship, he was driving was the latest landslide to be equipped with the army.
However, this is not a newly built warship, but Chen Xin's reconstruction of those warships that were frozen in the naval port.
Its prototype is an old-fashioned naval warship, which has now become a land-based ship after being upgraded by Chen Xin.
The hull and the original hull of the naval ship have been greatly changed. There are four more tracks under the original hull as the traveling mechanism, and the part of the bow has also been transformed into a huge dock. It is used to accommodate vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles mounted on ships.
As for the part of the deck, the bow of the ship was changed from the original pointed to the flat because it did not need to break the waves, and the armament was strengthened at the same time.
The original naval guns on the foredeck have been upgraded with a twin-mounted 75mm electromagnetic gun, while the original missile launch port on the deck has been moved to the rear deck, and the bridge has been reduced and moved forward, Make the deck appear more compact and small.
In addition to the missile launch port, the rear deck also retains the original helicopter hangar and take-off and landing platform.
In addition, two single-mounted 75mm electromagnetic guns were added to the sideboard, and the original smoke exhaust pipe was removed.
After all, after the replacement of the new nuclear power system, there is no need for the original huge oil tank and engine room, nor the huge chimney.
As a result of this transformation, the original 100-meter-long hull was shortened a lot, and only 70 meters remained, and the hull became low and compact.
However, because the original type of this ship was a destroyer, after being transformed into a land-propelled ship, Chen Xin did not change its use, but used it as a small-scale vehicle for border maintenance that was discussed with the military before. Implementation of a mobile base.
The original helicopter hangar on the ship is still preserved, but Chen Xin also installed the 3D printing equipment here.
Usually this is the hangar to park the helicopters on board, but when needed, the helicopter can be moved to the landing platform at the stern, and then turned into a 3D printing workshop for printing the required thing.
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 has also reduced the volume and length. It is indeed impossible to set aside space specifically for 3D printing.
At the same time, after some upgrades by Chen Xin, the number of pilots required for this land-based ship has also been greatly reduced, and the number of necessary crew members has even been reduced to less than fifty people by Chen Xin.
However, according to the previous military requirements, in addition to the crew, the land-based ship also carries a reinforced infantry company for border patrol 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 patrol, and this land ship is the support for their implementation of this plan.
As for the mission assigned by the military, the captain did not have any other ideas other than completing the mission.
It is a duty as a soldier to obey orders, not to mention the task of protecting one's home and country.
Only how to better complete this task, the captain is still a little worried.
After all, whether it is the equipment, the mission, or the environment in which the mission is performed, it is the first time for the captain. He really doesn't know how to establish a permanent stronghold in such an icy environment.
Although the military had equipped the landwalker with a scientific officer who was in charge of this matter and an engineering team assigned to the ship before the departure, the captain had also had detailed discussions with the other party in the past few days. Communicate and understand that the 3D printing equipment equipped with them is the key to completing this mission.
But for the captain, facing a field he has never touched before, this still leaves him at a loss.
Just as a soldier, shrinking back in the face of difficulties is really not a qualified soldier, so although he has no bottom in his heart, he still firmly believes that the task will be completed successfully.
Just after the captain was thinking about whether to rotate with the first mate later~IndoMTL.com~ went to the science officer and asked about the establishment of a permanent base, the communication officer on the side suddenly opened a report: "Report. Captain, the No. 2 ship sent a communication asking if it is necessary to speed up the advance and arrive at the target location earlier."
Hearing the inquiry of the No. 2 ship, the captain thought about it and then said to the communication officer: "Reply to the 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 currently advancing at cruising speed, they can indeed increase to full speed to reach the target location about an hour earlier, but for the sake of safety, the captain decided to keep current speed.
This landwalker is not advancing alone, there are three other landwalkers around him, but only the No. 2 ship who sent the communication is to carry out border garrison like this landwalker. task.
The other two land runners have different configurations and will continue to advance, chasing after the land aircraft carrier that has already headed to Lucia, and will serve as the **** formation of the aircraft carrier to go to Europe with it.
So considering the requirements of the formation to advance, the captain does not intend to speed up, and everything is safe.
