Chapter 525 - Aurora
(Brothers, you are really awesome! Yesterday you actually rushed to the top 30 in the overall list, ranking fourth! It really shocked me, it seems that the gesture of asking for tickets should be rolling all over the floor, so I am here Hit a few rolls!
Hey, just kidding.
To express my gratitude, there will be an outbreak in two days, please continue to support me, thank you Morning Star! Let's see where we can reach the monthly ticket list this month!
Gentlemen, the slaughter of gods and Buddhas is imminent! )
end times.
After more than half a month of hard work, the alien nests on the west side of Wanghai City have been basically cleared. In addition, NAC soldiers also deployed eleven checkpoints along the Huangpu River, blocking all bridges from the western urban area to the eastern urban area to prevent the spread of alien species from the eastern area to the western area.
Now the entire western district, whether it is the alien lairs on the surface or in the sewers, has been cleared out by mercenaries and NAC troops. Although mutant cockroaches and rats were difficult to eradicate, aggressive mutants such as zombies, Roshan, and even Deathclaws were basically invisible in the entire West District. Subdued by the NAC's force, the survivor groups in the west area of Wanghai City surrendered to the NAC's rule one after another.
The originally dirty hands and feet of the mercenary group and the predator group also resigned from the good, and moved out. After witnessing the overwhelming rain of rockets, they really couldn't bring up the slightest idea of resistance. NAC has used its force to declare its dominance over Wanghai City.
Even Liuding Town, which was originally on an equal footing with the Sixth Street District, now looks a bit unsightly in the face of the behemoth NAC.
Rather, when they saw the bombardment of the rod of God on the city center, they were completely convinced. They didn't know that the NAC was fighting the Supreme, only that they had a plan to wipe out the alien nest in the city center. Ever since, they mistakenly believed that the tungsten rod bomb was fired by the people of NAC...
In addition to establishing its dominance, the NAC also sent sappers in nuclear protective suits to the city center to clean up the radioactive sources that had accumulated in the city center.
The hard-to-remove radiation was contained in lead drums and thrown into pits blasted by tungsten rods in the city center. Pour lead cement for landfill. The lightly irradiated areas are sprayed with radiation cleaning fluid. It is believed that the gamma value of the entire city center will return to normal levels in a short time.
In addition, there are exploration teams sent to atomic energy companies, scientific research centers, and ruins of industrial bases to search for pre-war technology. 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 the underground bunker are well preserved and of high value. More than a thousand scientists in Camp 27 are busy up.
The Huangpu River across Wanghai City is like a Berlin Wall.
On the left is an orderly and stable NAC-occupied area. On the right is a chaotic "reservation".
With the end of the tide of alien species, the survivor groups in the East District have returned to their homes built on the ruins from Liuding Town and other large survivor bases to start their lives again. However, after witnessing the gap 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 stop their migration, but all survivors who migrated from Dongcheng District to the NAC ruled area must hand in dangerous items such as nuclear grenades and mini-nuclear bombs in accordance with regulations. The policy of denuclearization has been pushed outward from the Sixth Street and spread to the entire NAC area.
At this moment, Wanghai City Airport.
Dozens of engineering vehicles are working on the runway of the airport, repairing the fragmented airstrip that was bombed during the war. The refinishing work was tendered by NAC. The Metal Shell Chamber of Commerce, the largest builder in the Sixth Street District, undertook the construction, and the Second Corps was 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 placed under the management of the nearby Camp No. 27. At this moment, on the tarmac of the airport, there is a flat shuttle-shaped fighter jet, named Aurora-20, resembling a Haiyan, lying quietly.
At this moment, Jiang Chen is standing in front of the tarmac, and under the guidance of Fang Weixian, he is visiting this new weapon developed by Vault 27.
"Aurora-20, a fixed-wing fighter, can take off in two modes: vertical take-off and landing and runway. Two short-range air-to-air missiles can be mounted on the belly. And four medium- and long-range air-to-air or ground-to-ground missiles are installed on the nose. 10mm machine gun. According to your requirements, the firepower is absolutely reliable!" Fang Wei patted the nose of the machine first, and grinned at Jiang Chen.
Including Tiger II, YZ-51. The cutting-edge military products of the entire NAC are basically produced by the technical team led by Fang Weixian.
Nodding approvingly, Jiang Chen looked at the powerful fighter.
"What about concealment and speed?"
Concealment and speed are the life of a fighter, and the thickness of the armor does not mean much at high altitudes. No matter how advanced a fighter is, it is difficult to withstand the direct hit of two missiles.
"The aircraft shell is coated with a radar signal attenuating 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 reverse 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 smiled smugly.
Jiang Chen was also very satisfied with this number.
The maximum speed of Mach 4.5 has surpassed the record of Mach 3.2 set by the MiG-25 high-altitude high-speed interceptor in the present world, and it is approaching the speed limit that fighter jets in the atmosphere can achieve.
Of course, in the case of close 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 aircraft turning any corner will make the pilot faint.
In addition, according to Fang Weijie's introduction, this "Aurora-20" fighter can have a combat radius of up to 3,100 kilometers without the support of tankers, which has far exceeded the record of 2,177 kilometers set by the US F22. On the one hand, it is because the new titanium alloy materials used in the aircraft make the weight of the aircraft much lighter than that of fighter jets in the 21st century, and on the other hand, it is because the engines and synthetic fuels used in the aircraft are better than the level of the 21st century.
"From the engine to the fire control system, it is all PAC's military technology. From the landing gear of the aircraft to the air-to-air missile, it is all manufactured by 3D printing technology."
"How feasible is industrial production?" Jiang Chen asked.
3D printing is expensive and wastes a lot of materials and energy. The cost of producing a fighter jet by 3D printing is about three times more than that of an industrial production line. Although NAC is rich and powerful, if all cutting-edge weapons rely on 3D printing technology, Jiang Chen, who has spent so much money, still feels a little distressed.
"It's hard, the heat-resistant material of the engine. It's very difficult to do it at the industrial level of the sixth block." Fang Wei shook his head first.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said.
"Give some of the production materials of simple parts to the military factory in the sixth street, and outsource these parts to them as much as possible. In this way, the cost should be much lower than 3D printing. And it can also shorten the production cycle, you Do you think it's possible?"
Fang Wei pinched his chin and thought hard.
"Is it a part with a simple process? Strictly speaking, no part 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 according to the production process we know. It's the technical feasibility. Don't underestimate the creativity of the wasteland people. As long as we ask the right price, we can technically Realized, they may be able to develop a more cost-effective production process than ours."
Fang Weixian was obviously not convinced by Jiang Chen's statement. After all, he came from the shelter and belonged to the elite class before the war. He really didn't believe that those survivors who were dressed like "beggars" had the ability to solve the production problem of fighter jet parts.
But due to the status gap, he didn't show his disdain for the wasteland survivors.
Seeing that Fang Wei didn't speak first, Jiang Chen probably guessed what he was thinking. But he just smiled and didn't say much on the subject.
Fang Weixian is very arrogant. But this arrogance is not unreasonable arrogance, but stems from his rigorous technology.
"Science and technology are two different things. The former determines the development space of the latter, while the latter determines the practical value of the former. Being able to survive the cruel apocalypse to this day has proved the creativity of the survivors."
"But you can't expect a bunch of refugees to be qualified technicians...well, if you insist. I think...screws, wings, canopies, ejection seats, operator interface housings and stuff like that. Like 60% The technical difficulty of the basic parts is not very difficult." Fang Weijie said with a sigh as if giving up.
"Very good." Jiang Chen nodded, and patted the technician on the shoulder with satisfaction, "You should list these parts in detail and hand them over 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, as well as building the first prototype, providing drawings and production details. As for the specific matters of production, the military factory at the fishbone base will be responsible, and 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?" Fang Weijie was stunned, and frowned slightly, "Is it still made of steel?"
"Is it technically difficult to achieve?" Seeing Fang Weijie's perplexed expression, Jiang Chen asked.
"No, it's not difficult to achieve technically, but... I've never heard of such a weapon as an airship." Fang Weijie said helplessly.
What he said has never been heard before, so naturally it must 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 manufacture a steel airship with the technology of the 22nd century, Fang Weijie deeply doubts how cost-effective such a weapon is.
So he euphemistically stated that he had never heard of this weapon, and hoped that Jiang Chen would change his mind.
"It's okay, there wasn't one before the war, just use the pre-war technology to build one from start to finish." However, Jiang Chen didn't change his mind.
"But to build such a sky fortress, the steel, titanium alloy, copper, and aluminum required will be astronomical. From the perspective of cost performance, is this thing really meaningful?" Fang Weijie questioned.
"Of course it makes sense." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
As he spoke, he looked towards the sky outside the airport.
It was sunny there, but in the distance, it was still cloudy.
Following Jiang Chen's line of sight, he asked without comprehending Jiang Chen's meaning.
"What is it?"
