(Brothers, you are so awesome! Yesterday, you actually made it to the top 30 in the overall rankings and fourth in the rankings! It really shocked me. It seems that the posture for asking for votes should really be rolling on the ground. Then I am Just hit a few and roll!
Hey, just kidding.
To express my gratitude, there will be another outbreak in two days. Please support me as always. Thank you Morning Star! Let’s see where we can get on the monthly vote list this month!
Gentlemen, the gods and Buddhas are about to be slaughtered! )
apocalypse.
After more than half a month of hard work, the alien nests on the entire west side of Wanghai City have been basically eliminated. In addition, NAC soldiers also deployed eleven checkpoints along the Huangpu River, blocking all bridges from the West District to the East District to prevent the spread of alien species from the East District to the West District.
Now the entire Western District, whether on the surface or in the sewers, has been cleared of alien nests by mercenaries and NAC troops. Although alien species such as mutated cockroaches and rats are difficult to eradicate, highly aggressive alien species such as zombies, meat mountains and even death claws are basically invisible in the entire West District. Subdued by the force of the NAC, large and small survivor groups in the West District of Wanghai City submitted to the rule of the NAC.
The mercenary groups and raider groups that were originally unclean also changed their ways and moved out. After witnessing the overwhelming rain of rockets and bullets, they really couldn't bring up the slightest thought of resistance. NAC has used its force to declare its dominance over Wanghai City.
Even Liuding Town, which used to be on an equal footing with the Sixth District, now seems a little inadequate when facing the behemoth NAC.
Rather, they were completely convinced when they saw the Rod of God's bombardment of the city center. They didn't know that NAC was fighting the Supreme, but they just learned that they had a plan to wipe out the alien nest in the city center. Ever since, they mistakenly believed that the tungsten rod bullet was fired by someone from NAC...
In addition to establishing its dominance, the NAC also sent engineers wearing nuclear protective suits to the city center to clean up radioactive sources accumulated in the city center.
The radioactive materials that were difficult to remove were contained in lead barrels and thrown into the deep pits blasted by tungsten rod bombs in the city center. Lead-based cement was poured into the landfill. Areas with mild radiation will be sprayed with radiation cleaning fluid. It is believed that the gamma value of the entire city center will return to normal levels before long.
In addition, there are exploration teams sent to search for pre-war technology in the ruins of atomic energy companies, scientific research centers, and industrial bases. All collected technical documents will be sent to Camp 27 for summary and classification. The city center "protected" by radiation is like a treasure that has not been spoiled. Many technical materials hidden in underground bunkers are relatively well preserved and of high value. More than a thousand scientists in Camp 27 were immediately busy. got up.
The Huangpu River running through Wanghai City is like a Berlin Wall, and on the left is the NAC occupied area with stable order. On the right is a chaotic "reservation".
With the end of the alien wave, the survivor groups in the East District have returned to their homes built on the ruins from large survivor bases such as Liuding Town to start their lives again. But after witnessing the disparity between the two sides of the Huangpu River, there was no need for too much publicity. The survivors, who yearned for the safety and stability of the western urban area, moved to the west bank of the Huangpu River with their families.
The NAC checkpoint occupying the Huangpu River Bridge did not block their migration, but all survivors who migrated from the eastern urban area to settle in the NAC-controlled areas must turn in dangerous items such as nuclear grenades and mini-nuclear bombs in accordance with regulations. The policy of denuclearization has spread from the Sixth District to the entire NAC area.
At this moment, Wanghai City Airport.
More than a dozen construction vehicles are working on the runway at the airport, repairing the fragmented airstrip that was bombed during the war. The repair work was tendered by NAC. The Metal Shell Chamber of Commerce, the largest builder in the Sixth District, is doing the construction, and the Second Corps is responsible for ensuring the safety of the construction site.
This pre-war civilian airport has been requisitioned by the NAC. As the first military airport of the NAC, it is managed by the nearby Camp 27. At this moment, on the tarmac of the airport, a flat shuttle-shaped fighter jet, shaped like a petrel, named Aurora-20, was lying quietly.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was standing in front of the apron, visiting this new weapon developed by Vault 27 under the leadership of Fang Weixian.
"Aurora-20, a fixed-wing fighter, can take off in two modes: vertical take-off and landing and runway mode. It can carry 2 short-range anti-air missiles on the belly. And 4 medium- and long-range anti-air or ground missiles. The nose is equipped with 10mm cannon. According to your requirements, the firepower is absolutely reliable!" Fang Wei first patted the nose of the machine and grinned at Jiang Chen.
Including Hunter Tiger II and Yuzhi-51. The entire NAC's cutting-edge military products are basically produced by the technical team led by Fang Weixian.
Nodding in approval, Jiang Chen looked at the powerful fighter.
"What about stealth and speed?"
Concealment and speed are the lifeblood of a fighter jet. Armor thickness is of little significance at high altitudes. No matter how advanced a fighter jet is, it will be difficult for it to withstand a direct hit from two missiles.
"The outer shell of the aircraft is coated with radar signal attenuation coating. The display area on most radars is only equivalent to a sparrow. The radar signal detection system at the bottom of the aircraft can reversely track the coordinates of the ground radar base station. As for the speed, the maximum cruise The speed can reach Mach 4.5." Fang Weixian raised a proud smile on his lips.
Jiang Chen was also very satisfied with this number.
The top speed of Mach 4.5 has exceeded the record of Mach 3.2 set by the current MiG-25 high-altitude high-speed interceptor aircraft, and is approaching the speed limit that fighter jets can reach in the atmosphere.
Of course, when approaching combat, it is natural that the highest speed cannot be used for combat. Otherwise, let alone Mach 4.5, even at a speed of Mach 2, the acceleration of the plane at any turn would make the pilot faint.
In addition, according to Fang Weijie, this "Aurora-20" fighter jet can have a combat radius of up to 3,100 kilometers without the support of a tanker, which has far exceeded the record of 2,177 kilometers set by the US military's F22. On the one hand, this is because the new titanium alloy material used in the aircraft makes the aircraft much lighter than fighter jets in the 21st century. On the other hand, it is because the engines and synthetic fuel used in the aircraft are better than those in the 21st century.
"From the engine to the fire control system, they are all AC's military technology. From the aircraft's landing gear to the air-to-air missiles, they are all manufactured with 3D printing technology."
"How feasible is industrial production?" Jiang Chen asked.
3D printing is more expensive and wastes a lot of materials and energy. The cost of producing a fighter jet by 3D printing is about three times that of producing a fighter jet by an industrial production line. Although NAC has a lot of money, if all cutting-edge weapons rely on 3D printing technology, Jiang Chen still feels a little distressed by the money burned.
"It's difficult, the engine's heat-resistant materials. It's difficult to do it at the industrial level of the Sixth Block." Fang Weixian shook his head.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said.
"Give the production data of some simple parts to the military factory in the Sixth District, and outsource the production of these parts to them as much as possible. In this way, the cost should be much lower than 3D printing. It can also shorten the production cycle, you Do you think it’s feasible?”
Fang Wei first held his chin and thought hard.
"A part with a simple process? Strictly speaking, no component has a simple production process..."
Jiang Chen shook his head and said with a smile.
"When I say the process is simple, I don't mean the difficulty of producing it according to the production process we know. It means the technical feasibility. Don't underestimate the creativity of the wasteland people. As long as we offer the right price, it can technically be done Realize, they may be able to develop a more cost-effective production process than us."
Fang Weixian was obviously not very convinced by Jiang Chen's statement. After all, he came from a refuge and was part of the elite before the war. He really didn't believe that the survivors who dressed up like "beggars" had the ability to solve the production problem of fighter parts.
However, due to the status gap, he did not show his disdain for the survivors of the wasteland.
Seeing that Fang Wei didn't speak, Jiang Chen probably guessed what he was thinking. But he just smiled and didn't say much on this issue.
Fang Weixian is very arrogant. But this arrogance is not unreasonable arrogance, but stems from his rigor in technology.
"Science and technology are two different things. The former determines the development space of the latter, and the latter determines the practical value of the former. Being able to survive to this day in the cruel apocalypse has proven the creativity of the survivors."
"But you can't expect a bunch of refugees to do a technician's job... Well, if you insist. I think... screws, wings, canopies, ejection seats, operator interface shells, that kind of thing. Probably 60% basic parts. The technical difficulty is not very high." Fang Weijie said with a sigh as if giving up.
"Very good." Jiang Chen nodded and patted the technician on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Please make a detailed list of these parts. Give them to Xu Lu. The rest of the parts will still be produced by the 3D printer."
"Understood." Fang Weijie nodded slightly.
They are only responsible for research and development, building the first prototype, and providing drawings and production details. As for the specific matters of production, the military factory at the Fish Bone Base will be responsible for it, so scientists like them don't need to worry too much.
"About the next scientific research project," Jiang Chen paused. Looking at Fang Weijie, he said seriously, "I hope you will develop an airship that can stay in the air for a long time, has armor protection capabilities and basic firepower."
"Airship? Armor protection capabilities?" Fang Weijie was stunned and frowned slightly, "Is it still made of steel?"
"Is it technically difficult to achieve?" Seeing Fang Weijie's troubled expression, Jiang Chen asked.
"No, it's not technically difficult to achieve, it's just... I've never heard of a weapon like an airship." Fang Weijie said helplessly.
He had never heard of it before, so naturally it had to be before the war. Not to mention before the war, airships, air units with poor maneuverability and large targets, were eliminated as early as the early days of World War II. Although it is not very difficult to build a steel airship with the technology of the 22nd century, Fang Weijie has deep doubts about how cost-effective such a weapon is.
So he politely said that he had never heard of this kind of weapon and hoped that Jiang Chen would change his mind.
"It doesn't matter, there wasn't one before the war, just use the pre-war technology to build one from start to finish." However, Jiang Chen did not change his mind.
"But to build such an aerial fortress, the amount of steel, titanium alloy, copper, and aluminum required will be astronomical. From a cost-effective perspective, is this thing really meaningful?" Fang Weijie questioned.
"Of course it makes sense." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
As he spoke, he looked at the sky outside the airport.
It was sunny there, but further away, it was still cloudy.
Looking along Jiang Chen's line of sight, he asked without understanding Jiang Chen's meaning.
"What is it?"
"Spread our will, our order, and our ideas to further places." (.)
