5 min read1,360 words
Although Chen Xin expressed the impossibility of designing a larger mobile
base in a short period of time, both the military and high-level officials
delegated this task to him.
Faced with the entrustment of the military and high-level officials who were
half orders and half requests, Chen Xin could only agree to it.
After all, this is indeed related to the victory of mankind in this war
against alien creatures. If possible, Chen Xin also hopes to provide more
advantages for the country and mankind.
The design of a large-scale mobile base is naturally not as simple as the
previous mobile base.
It can even be said that because of the difference in function and size of the
two, it is almost completely redesigned.
After all, the size of the ship has been enlarged so much, the entire hull
structure and travel method must be redesigned, instead of simply enlarging
the original mobile base.
Although it is possible to learn a lot of technical experience from the
original mobile base, the large-scale mobile base still cannot copy these
experiences mechanically.
While thinking about how to design a large-scale mobile base, Chen Xin picked
up pen and paper and drew sketches on the paper.
According to the requirements of the military, an aircraft carrier is in fact
the most suitable for their requirements, but it is clear that the aircraft
carrier cannot be driven ashore, and the previous disaster also made all the
navy's ships useless, and the aircraft carrier is no exception. .
"So you are planning to design a land aircraft carrier?" Chen Xin looked at
what he drew on paper like an aircraft carrier with tracks, and shook his head
helplessly.
The drawing is simple, but if you really want to design, it is by no means
such a simple installation of tracks under the aircraft carrier.
Apart from other things, the displacement of a large aircraft carrier is more
than 70,000 tons, and the largest can even be more than 100,000 tons. Such a
huge weight does not matter at sea. It will not be a problem if it is
supported by sea water.
But on land, these weights are all pressed on the ground, and any uneven force
may cause the entire hull to tip over or even break.
Moreover, a runway that can take off and land fighter jets, even if it is only
a carrier-based aircraft, needs to be at least two to three hundred meters
long. A movable object of this size can move on the ground, not to mention the
problem of bearing and force, is it possible? The terrain passed is a problem.
However, now that I have accepted the job, I still have to do it.
The military's request is that fighter jets can be taken off and landed, but
it is not realistic to make a runway two to three hundred meters long like an
aircraft carrier.
However, the takeoff and landing of fighter jets is not the only method of
taxiing on the runway. The catapult or vertical takeoff and landing used by
the aircraft carrier itself to shorten the length of the runway are all
reference methods.
"Using vertical take-off and landing to shorten the length of the runway and
increase the missile silos..." Chen Xin gradually sorted out his thoughts, and
gradually got a general direction as his thoughts were clarified.
And as Chen Xin gradually found the direction, the sketch on the drawing
gradually became clear: "Vertical take-off and landing positions are set up on
the deck, the lifting platform is installed, the hangar is placed under the
deck, and the missile silo is installed on the side, which can be launched
obliquely. You can usually put it away..."
In this version of the design, Chen Xin did not lengthen the runway too much,
but changed the landing platform that protrudes from the side of the hangar of
the mobile base to be placed on the top deck.
And the vertical take-off and landing method is adopted, and only the top deck
is used as a take-off and landing stand, and it is not used as a runway, so
there is no need to extend the length too much.
As for the missile launch port, it was originally placed on the top deck.
Although the launch port of the mobile base can be retained after the top deck
is used for take-off and landing, it does not affect the take-off and landing
of the deck aircraft.
After thinking about it, Chen Xin placed it on the side of the mobile base and
made it at an inclined angle, with the bottom in the mobile base and the
launch port on the outside.
"This change is almost the same. Next, you need to make it bigger." Chen Xin
looked at the things he had designed and nodded in satisfaction.
Although it requires a lot of processes and verifications to actually convert
the drawings into real objects, and many places need to be modified according
to the actual situation, but at present this is only a conceptual design
drawing that can reflect the design ideas, but it does not need to be done.
Too detailed.
Therefore, it did not take long for Chen Xin to complete the blueprint of the
so-called large-scale mobile base.
The large mobile base on the drawing is indeed larger or longer than the
mobile base currently used by the military.
After comprehensive consideration, Chen Xin did not make the top deck a
runway, but extended the overall length of the mobile base, and installed
catapults and blocking cables on the top deck so that it can be used when
necessary. Used to take off and land aircraft.
Of course, despite the design of such a function, large mobile bases still use
vertical take-off and landing as the main method of take-off and landing.
Although this requires a redesign of a fighter that can take off and land
vertically, Chen Xin thinks it is worth it.
As for the lengthening of the hull, it is not only to allow the top deck to
have the function of a runway, but also to expand the hangar so that it can
accommodate more fighters.
After all, fighter jets are not the same as helicopters. They have stronger
combat effectiveness and larger body size, so a hangar large enough to
accommodate fighter jets is needed.
For this reason, the decks of aircraft carriers are actually very high.
Although there is a huge space inside, the largest space is always the hangar.
Therefore, when Chen Xin was designing a large-scale mobile base, UU Reading
www.uukanshu.com also removed a deck below the original hangar and turned it
into a part of the hangar, so that there is a larger hangar in the hangar. The
space can accommodate more fighters.
In addition, it is the missile launching port on the sideboard. Although a
part of the launching mechanism is extended out of the hull by using an
oblique placement method, most of the structure is still inside the hull. Chen
Xin has also made certain adjustments to this part. , But the overall change
is small.
Chen Xin did not make much adjustments to the other parts of the mobile base.
He just optimized the internal space structure and expanded the area used as a
battlefield hospital.
"It looks okay, but I am afraid that the power system and mobile mechanism
will have to be redone!" The structure of the superstructure is well designed,
but the mobile mechanism at the bottom is the focus of this large mobile base,
which makes Chen Xin feel that The headache part.
Fortunately, this matter did not require him to have a headache alone. After
reprocessing the completed conceptual design drawing and converting it into a
more detailed and formal design drawing, Chen Xin sent the drawing to the
relevant unit and asked them to follow it. A design drawing to propose a
design plan.
For Chen Xin, what he wants is not technology, but ideas. As long as ideas can
solve problems and are realistic, he can transform them into actual
technology.
