In the conference room, several people who had come to the meeting waited for more than ten minutes before officially starting to report work.
The main mission of Wang Qi's visit was to confirm the results of magic improvements.
This matter was being done before the floating island took off. Even because of this project, the institute has not had a particularly successful finished product for several years. Some of the military's needs can only be improved according to needs with a fixed project team.
The basis of the magic improvement comes from the Caroline-Lava formula, which refers to the length scale, which is equivalent to increasing the scale from the millimeter level to the silk (10 micron) level.
Improved cognitive accuracy does not mean that the device can be reduced to negative cubic times in applications. It only has the ability to customize magic. Of course, some devices that do not require much magic can indeed be made slightly smaller.
Caroline gave an example in the report: "We have improved the lift magic array. The current lift magic array will not affect the airflow around the body. By controlling the lift output, the glider can achieve a smoother flight."
In the original glider, the lift module cannot be turned on during the gliding process. Gliding and rising are two separate actions.
Now the lift module can be turned on all the time to maintain the glider's flight altitude descent rate with a smaller output, which allows the glider to approach the flight attitude of a normal propeller aircraft.
The reason why it is just close is because the glider has its own shortcomings after all. Since it has no power, it still has to climb to a high altitude when it first takes off, and then dive at a small angle of attack to increase its speed. If you then use level flight, air resistance will gradually slow down the flight speed.
Therefore, gliders can actually only improve the gliding ratio. For example, the Manniu glider with only three gliders has a glide ratio of only 1:15. Through the new lift module, the glide ratio can be increased to about 1:30. The specific value depends on the flight speed and Where is the balance point of resistance.
The new lifting magic array is only one of the results of the magic improvement project, and it is complete when combined with another new type of spell.
[Condensation airflow] is actually the gas surface insulation technology used by Academician Lava in turbojet engines.
This spell can also be used on airplanes to maintain a solidified gas layer less than two centimeters thick. Its aerodynamic effect is to avoid direct friction between the air and the surface of the aircraft, effectively eliminating the aerodynamic heating effect.
Aerodynamic heating mainly occurs on supersonic flying objects. For flying objects with an altitude of 10,000 meters...250 hPa and 2.5 to 3 times the speed of sound, the main friction area of the head will heat up to about 300 degrees, which does not seem to be high. In fact, at this temperature on an aircraft, due to flight vibrations, the test of materials is very great. No aluminum alloy can withstand it, so stainless steel or higher-grade materials must be used.
Obviously, Blue Sky Heavy Industries is still a long way from being able to fly at speeds above Mach 2.
If you change your thinking, it can actually be used on ordinary airplanes, but instead of using its thermal insulation effect, it is used to slightly reduce flight resistance.
Already on the application agenda is the improvement of fast-attack anti-magic aerial bombs.
Utilizing the [solidified airflow] boundary layer, the fast-attack projectile can further break through the aerodynamic shape limitations and exceed the original critical speed. If the bombing position is high enough, there is even the possibility of unpowered supersonic speed!
There is also a temporary enchantment application under development, which adds a layer of [solidified airflow] to 20mm artillery shells. However, there are still certain problems for the time being. The shell materials may need to be changed so that the enchantment effect can be maintained for a few seconds after the projectile comes out of the chamber. .
Weird new spells are still being added. This is the first time magic has tried to be integrated with the existing industrial ecology.
When the report was completed, Wang Qi asked what he was most concerned about: "How long will it take for the new results to be used to comprehensively update existing weapons and equipment?"
Wang Qi has a sense of crisis. The Three Realms War is called the War of Gods, and so far the only ones that have appeared are cats and dogs. The only floating tentacle monster that is suspected of being a summons can be called a threat, and it has not played its role due to the command gap between the enemy and ourselves. effect.
In fact, at that time, the floating tentacle monster did not need to worry about the anti-magic bullets that flew in the sky for a few seconds. It would cause certain damage if it directly charged into the position, because once it entered the combat zone, the probability of accidentally damaging friendly forces by bombers dropping bombs at a height of 10,000 meters was very high. Lowering the altitude would cause a certain amount of damage. It might be shot down directly by the tentacle monster's laser. Without the concentrated attack of the air force, it would be quite difficult for the ground troops to kill something over twenty meters tall.
The floating tentacle monster only has a stronger range, and may have unknown abilities that cannot be used in the face of anti-magic aerial bombs, but after all, it can be defeated by quantitative conventional spells and physical attacks, and it is probably not that strong.
The existing military equipment system can effectively suppress the overwhelming little devils and the gangsters mixed in. This is considered the first stage. The second stage requires the elimination of those small numbers in the absence of air support, but the individuals are extremely powerful and can even A thing that is immune to anti-magic strikes.
The person who answered the question was the dean: "Your Majesty, the size of our army will still need to be expanded. At the current rate of increase, it may take eight to ten years to complete development and popularization of production."
Although he is not in the army, the dean is still in charge of the manufacturing bureau, and the production volume and damage return amount cannot be deceived.
Wang Qi thought for a while and decided to reveal some plans: "The size of the army will not expand without limit. If there is no risk of collapse in the war, the final size of the conventional army will be around 80,000 people. For other research and development work that does not involve core secrets, you can entrust it to Let the college do it.”
The small army of the kingdom he envisioned in the future would become a mixed force of brigades.
The three regiments of the Blade Legion and the 12th and 13th regiments of the Night Clan Air Force were upgraded to brigades. The brigade-level establishment size is about 5,000 to 6,000 people. They mainly fight overall battles. Among them, it will take a long time for the two regiments of the Night Clan to be converted into brigades. The population Some cannot keep up with demand.
The Mixed-blood Legion and the Slime Mold Legion still maintain regiment-level establishments, performing tasks including supply, engineering, regional garrisoning, and key line sentinels. Depending on the development of the intensity of air combat, one or two weaker air legions may be formed, with a total of about fifteen to fifteen Sixteen regiments. Among them, the slime mold army accounts for 10, and the mixed-blood army can be organized up to 26 regiments.
The reserves after the 51st Regiment are not considered for new equipment. Their confidentiality and training intensity are quite different, and they can only use next-generation weapons.
Xiu often chats with the army's quartermaster. Although there is a confidentiality policy, as a major equipment supplier, he can indeed get some outdated information.
His Majesty did not set a limit on completion within a few years, so the situation is probably not particularly serious.
"If we prioritize one or two weapons, we should be able to complete the replacement within two to three years. However, we still have many types of weapons. Replacing them all is a lot of work, and there is no way to shorten it too much."
Wang Qi pondered for a moment and made a choice: "Then replace the cannon first. After completion, consider helping the automobile factory to modify the armored vehicles."
The garrison has a large number of machine guns installed, taking the Heavy Rain Type 2 as an example.
The 24th regiment has the smallest number of equipment in the battle order. Its regimental artillery company is equipped with 24 guns, the regiment headquarters guard platoon has 4 guns, and the five battalion-level unit artillery platoons have 3 guns, for a total of 43 guns.
This is only the Heavy Rain II type. Not counting the Styx mortar, the 43 mortars are only a regular configuration. The headquarters warehouse responsible for the 23rd Logistics Regiment and the 3rd Regiment Logistics Battalion has long-term reserves of 200 mortars for temporary deployment, excluding the 11th. By the 13th regiment, there are now more than a dozen regiments plus the headquarters, and there are nearly a thousand heavy rain type IIs.
A thousand doors may not seem like a lot, but it is important.
The main function of the machine gun is to use large projectiles and more powerful projectiles to eliminate key threat targets in areas where the hit rate of infantry firearms is insufficient.
It is obviously easier to increase the power of the cannon than to ask the soldiers to improve their long-range hit rate.
As the war continues, both the enemy and ourselves will learn from each other and improve. Just like the demons will use the stinky fish as an air defense balloon, and will also use the range advantage of the floating tentacle monster to threaten the air force. Sooner or later, after hitting the wall a few times, they will get used to the current situation. Military status, come up with a way to crack it.
"The machine gun... in terms of materials... well, change it first. The projectile problem can be solved after the weapon is installed."
Wang Qi agreed that there was no need to replace the cannon and ammunition at the same time.
