Chapter 297 Development of Ground Units
After that, the intelligent brain said: "Commander, all the necessary weapons have been prepared. Should we immediately implement the plan to eliminate the alien beast tribe in Qing'an City?"
In order to eliminate the alien beast tribe in Qing'an City, Black Flag City has made a lot of preparations. Now that several months have passed, everything that should be prepared has been prepared. If there had not been this conflict with the new humans, the plan to attack the alien beast tribe in Qing'an City might have been put on the agenda.
Are we going to attack?
After thinking about it, Li Meng shook his head and said, "No, it's not the time yet. The situation on the new humans' side is unclear. Black Flag City has just been exposed to the eyes of the new humans. Once we attack the alien beast tribe, if the loss is too great, if the new humans attack again, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. Since the mother body of Qing'an City is still asleep, let her sleep. The longer she sleeps, the stronger the power of Black Flag City will be. In addition, we can't only develop air units, but also ground units."
At least it's not the time now. Li Meng knows very well that it is unwise to rashly attack the alien beast tribe animals in Qing'an City before the situation with the new humans has stabilized.
Now in Black Flag City, the air units include Valkyrie and Sky Eye fighters. Although there are only these two types, because the Valkyrie is a large platform, it is enough to deal with any situation.
But the ground force seems a bit weak, with only the "Sharp Arrow" class gunboat as a ground unit.
Intelligent brain: "You can design several warships, frigates, destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and multi-functional armored transport ships. The main purpose can be used to transport soldiers and armored units and be responsible for the ground battlefield."
The blue light flashed, and another picture appeared in front of the bust of the intelligent brain.
It is a warship, roughly the same size, but of different sizes, and there are several ground armored units.
Intelligent brain: "Unnamed frigate, energy comes from a small fusion reactor, main weapons are three 120mm 60-caliber twin magnetic accelerators and 50-caliber seven-barrel coil guns, can carry 200 soldiers, 10 Sky Eye fighters, two Vulture armed transports, five ground armored units, length: 92 meters, width: 20 meters, full load displacement 3500 tons, no intelligent AI, controlled by program AI, with a certain degree of intelligence."
"Unnamed destroyer, energy comes from a medium-sized fusion reactor, 192 meters long, 35 meters wide, main weapons are three 220mm 60-caliber twin magnetic accelerators, 8 20mm 50-caliber seven-barrel coil guns, 4 30mm 50-caliber seven-barrel coil guns, can carry 500 soldiers, 25 Sky Eye fighters, 4 Vulture armed transports, 10 ground armored units, Full load displacement of 27,500 tons, no intelligent AI, controlled by program AI, has a certain degree of intelligence. "
"Unnamed cruiser, energy comes from a medium-sized fusion reactor, 292 meters long, 45 meters wide, full load displacement of 61,500 tons, main weapons are 3 320mm 60 times caliber triple magnetic accelerators, 12 20mm 50 times caliber 7-tube coil guns 50 times caliber 7-tube coil guns, can carry 1,000 soldiers, 20 ground armored units, 50 Sky Eye fighters, 6 Vulture armed transport aircraft, no intelligent AI, controlled by program AI, has a certain degree of intelligence. "
"Unnamed battleship, energy comes from a large fusion reactor, 392 meters long, 60 meters wide, full load displacement of 112,500 tons, main weapons are 3 420mm 60 times caliber triple magnetic accelerators, 150 times caliber Seven-barreled coil guns, 8 30mm 50-caliber seven-barreled coil guns, 4 60mm 50-caliber three-barreled coil guns, can carry 2,000 soldiers, 100 Sky Eye fighters, 50 ground armored units, 8 Vulture transport aircraft, controlled by intelligent AI. "
"Unnamed multi-functional armored transport ship, energy comes from a large fusion reactor, 362 long, 65 wide, full load displacement 89,200 tons, main weapons are 8 20mm 50-caliber 7-barreled coil guns, 4 300mm 50-caliber 7-barreled coil guns, can carry 5,000 soldiers, 200 ground armored units, 50 Vulture armed transport aircraft, no intelligence, controlled by program AI, with a certain degree of intelligence. "
"Unnamed quadruped tank, using electric drive, energy comes from plasma batteries, endurance time is 12 hours, high-intensity combat endurance 4 hours, wireless charging, main weapon is a 150mm 60-caliber magnetic acceleration gun, no intelligent AI, controlled by program AI, with a certain degree of intelligence. "
"Unnamed troop carrier, electric drive, energy comes from plasma batteries, endurance time is 13 hours, high-intensity combat endurance is 5 hours, main weapon is a 30mm 50-caliber 7-tube coil gun. No intelligent AI, controlled by program AI, with a certain degree of intelligence. "
"The prices of the above military units are: unnamed frigates are about 3 million contribution points, unnamed destroyers are 10 million contribution points, unnamed cruisers are 30 million contribution points, unnamed battleships are about 70 million contribution points, unnamed multi-purpose armored transport ships are 11 million contribution points, unnamed tanks are about 200,000 contribution points, and unnamed armored personnel carriers are about 150,000 contribution points. "
It's really expensive...
Although contribution points are just a number, they contain a lot of things.
The price of resources, the price of casting, the price of assembly, the price of labor, all of these must be included.
Looking at the large and small ships and armored units in the picture, Li Meng said: "The warships are all the same color, and the appearance is not much different. They are all called "Revenge Class". As for the four-legged tank, since the model is from "Guard" The one copied from "Tank" is called "Guard" tank, and the armored personnel carrier is called "Warthog"."
Although it is a warship, the power system is the same as that of the No. 1 Trade Ship. It uses hybrid power. One is a crawler and the other is a propeller hidden inside. This is designed to be able to sail in the water in the future.
There is not much to say about the escort tank. It has four legs, a very low footprint, and crawlers under each foot. The four legs are moveable and can adapt to any terrain.
The Warthog armored personnel carrier is a boxy thing that looks like a box. It also has tracks. The top is triangular, and the middle is the highest. It is equipped with a turret. The sides are slightly shorter and curve downward, which makes the coil The gun has a certain depression angle.
Speaking of this, Li Meng said again: "Build a military base at the mouth of the canyon behind the city wall to store military units. The development cycle of armaments can be gradual. You can't be reckless because of speed. You can't just focus on the present, but consider the overall situation. Thinking about it from a perspective, no matter how anxious we are, we can’t let the development of Black Flag City fall behind.”
The production capacity of a heavy factory is limited. Scale is one of the reasons. The most important thing is the scarcity of resources. The resources required to manufacture a military unit are extremely complicated. For example, titanium alloy requires a variety of resources, and an armor Units cannot only use titanium alloys. They need to use some light alloys and flexible alloys. Some resources are rich and sufficient, but some resources are very scarce. The reason why the "Valkyrie" aircraft carrier and the "Globe King" airship were built It is so fast because Black Flag City does not care about the cost. As long as it is a mineral in short supply, no matter how small the storage capacity is, it will cost a huge price to mine. The manpower and material resources used during this period are staggering.
It was precisely because the cost of rapid construction was too high that Li Meng deliberately slowed down the development of armaments.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Li Meng understands this better than anyone.
