457 Yellow River
In addition to the specific technical blueprint, the Shenzhou Research Institute also purchased a large number of complete technology trees from oracles, such as the preparation and application of [Metal Hydrogen].
Metal hydrogen is liquid, solid hydrogen becomes a metal-like conductor under a high pressure of millions of atmospheric pressure. It is a high-density, high-energy storage material, and its energy storage is 30 to 40 times that of TNT. It is also a room-temperature superconductor.
Metal hydrogen has very powerful properties and is widely used, but it is difficult to prepare for humans in the Earth Age and is still in the laboratory stage.
The metal hydrogen technology provided by the oracle is already very complete, and the most intuitive application is to use it as super explosives or high-energy compressed fuel.
A missile loaded with metal hydrogen can meet the performance standards of conventional large missiles with just a little charge and fuel, which undoubtedly makes the new missiles have a qualitative leap in power, speed, portability and concealment.
In addition, metal hydrogen has extremely important applications in fuel cells, superconducting characteristics, and controlled nuclear fusion. However, because Wang Fei dug back a large number of normal temperature superconducting ores, the Republic has temporarily had better alternatives.
However, once these non-renewable superconducting ores are exhausted, the metal hydrogen that can be prepared by itself will return to its dominance.
Now, the Republic, which has mastered the ability to prepare metal hydrogen, has applied metal hydrogen to cutting-edge weapons on a large scale, such as advanced missiles, superblock bombs, superconducting electromagnetic guns, superconducting electromagnetic propulsion systems, and superconducting particle beam weapons... all have a large number of applications.
This made Shenzhou, which could only buy high-priced weapons from oracles, have since gained the ability to mass-equip cutting-edge weapons by itself. The [Shenzhou Fleet] of the First Legion has gathered the essence of various cutting-edge weapons.
[Sandstorm-class mothership], this type of mothership is definitely not unfamiliar to everyone at the underground base.
In the past days, the engineers had dismembered one of them, and then dug out the second relatively complete sandstorm class from the landslide and dragged it back to the dock.
At this time, the paralyzed sandstorm-class mothership was parked in the center of a group of docks.
The Republic of China is determined to win this mothership, but there are also a lot of problems to face.
The most important thing is that the second-level dock deck does not have enough large docks with sandstorm-class levels.
The sandstorm-class ship is more than 500 meters long and nearly 300 meters wide. It is a giant ship produced by the first-layer dock deck. For the second-layer medium dock, it is difficult to set up an operating table, let alone performing surgery on the sandstorm-class.
For this reason, the Republic was all worried and white-headed, and in the end, Wang Fei and Xiu Pi provided a way to repair it.
Now the base has sufficient anti-gravity equipment. As long as a batch of anti-gravity engineering platforms are tailored first, and then combined with these platforms into an air dock, the sandstorm-class mothership below can be constructed under extremely high degrees of freedom.
The plan quickly passed the feasibility test and started construction by the engineering force of Xiaopeng.
The army of savage robots was very efficient. It took only a week before and the new home of the sandstorm-class mothership was built.
Xiu Pi first renovated several existing medium-sized docks around it as auxiliary facilities and supporting nodes for construction.
Then a large number of puzzle-like steel ships appeared over the mothership one after another, and a large number of steel cables, pipes, and robotic arms were hung from the engineering platform, and they performed surgery on the mothership below like a group of experts' consultations.
This overhaul project is undoubtedly a grand event for the Republic. Almost all participants are honored. Peng Guangjie has been nailed to the scene all the time, and he can be said to have to forget to eat and sleep.
It is important. This construction is mainly operated by precise robots. The blueprint was jointly created by Wang Fei, Xiu Pi and researchers.
Although the final project volume is even more terrifying than the new Hairy Crab, it is also terrifying to improve the industrial strength of the entire Republic after completion.
A month later, when the Republic of China was announced, this highly anticipated mothership had begun to take shape and entered the outfitting stage, and was named [Yellow River].
The Republic has upgraded and renovated the original damaged hull as a framework, and the size and appearance of the hull have been significantly changed.
Among them, the length and width change are not very obvious. The new size is 540 meters and 242 meters, but the ship height has risen from the original 98 meters to 120 meters!
The original 98-meter ship height included the chassis, ship island and antenna. Although the current 120-meter ship also included these, the improved ship island and antenna have become shorter!
In other words, the main body of the warship is more than 20 meters thicker than the original.
The entire mothership suddenly changed from a large flat plate to a brick, and looked much thicker.
This is done to strengthen the original hull strength, and to increase the capacity of the mothership so as to install more content. After all, this mothership is mainly used for moving, so if you can go to the battlefield, you won’t go to the battlefield without going to the battlefield.
The power system of the Yellow River is a repaired and strengthened giant tracking system, with a total of 8 groups.
In order to cope with the skyrocketing weight, four anti-gravity engines were installed on the keel of the Yellow River, which greatly reduced the weight of the warship, but unfortunately it could not fly at all.
The shell of the Yellow River uses a new layered armor technology, which can effectively protect the attack of energy weapons. Combined with the force field shield system that has extremely high restraint on kinetic energy weapons, its ability to resist beating is not as good as that of the Hairy Crab, but its mobility is completely incomparable.
There is no turret with a caliber of more than 120mm installed on the Yellow River. All firepower points are small-caliber rapid-fire cannons, all used for self-defense.
However, this self-defense firepower is a bit crazy because there are hundreds of these inconspicuous small-caliber naval guns!
Moreover, even small caliber electromagnetic guns are powerful, not to mention that these superconducting electromagnetic guns can fire metal hydrogen shells.
In addition to the vertical launch system on the ship, the Bifang rocket system, the laser interception system, and the particle beam weapon system that is still under test, it can be said that there are rare enemies in close combat.
Although the Yellow River cannot instantly shoot the enemy from a distance, if the enemy wants to get close to the mothership, you have to carefully consider whether its body is strong enough.
These powerful firepower points form the shield of the Yellow River, and the 500 carrier-based aircraft on the mothership are the sharp blades of the Yellow River!
Why has the Yellow River become thicker?
Those thickened parts are the additional hangar and ammunition storage!
In order to increase the long-distance capabilities of the mothership, the supporting fighter jets have been more than doubled, of which 300 are [Suhuque] air-optimal fighters and 200 are [Jinwu] ground attack aircraft.
The predecessor of this newly formed air force was the [Canglong Echelon] that made great contributions to the Gate of Hell!
This heroic unit, which originally had only 12 aircraft, can finally fly the fighter jets produced by the Republic itself.
Chapter completed!
