Although this attack by the giant fire-breathing monster had a great impact on the human defense line, the outstanding performance of the mobile base in this attack also successfully made the military pay more attention to the mobile base.
Originally, the country did not allow the mobile base to be included in the mass production plan because of its high cost and its not very practical functions in peacetime and war. It just decided to master the relevant technology.
Although Chen Xin later used various methods and new usage plans, especially the successful installation of the weather controller on the mobile base, which caused the senior management to have a certain interest in it and decided to produce it, there was no large-scale production after all. One or two were trial-produced to master the technology.
And even one or two of these prototypes have not officially entered service so far, but are still being outfitted and tested.
However, now the military suddenly feels good about this thing, so the two mobile bases in the rear that have basically completed outfitting and debugging were urgently deployed to the Dongting Lake area to support the defense line.
At the same time, the mobile base equipped with a weather controller was also transferred over. The military built a new defense system based on these four mobile bases.
In this defense system, mobile bases are mainly used as missile launch platforms and battlefield airports, and at the same time provide field medical services and battlefield intelligence nodes.
Through the information collection and communication network support of the mobile base, there are mobile radar stations and missile launch sites around the mobile base. Through the deployed radar and the intelligence obtained from frontline and aerial reconnaissance, it not only provides intelligence support for the entire battlefield, but also shoulders the responsibility of Fire strike mission.
After all, simply relying on mobile bases as missile launch platforms will still not deliver enough firepower, and the coverage area is not enough.
After this system was established, relying on the cooperation of mobile bases, dynamic radar stations and missile launch sites, the defense line was indeed stabilized and achieved excellent results.
But this also raises another problem, which is that the military wants more mobile bases.
"If you want more mobile bases, then build them! Why do you want to ask me? Haven't the drawings and production technology been handed over to the relevant departments?" Facing the military representatives and high-level representatives who came to see him, Chen The new look looked confused.
It did make Chen Xin feel very strange. After all, the military needs more mobile bases, and the country already has the ability to manufacture mobile bases. It can be built directly. Why did it come to him?
Put yourself in charge of production at a mobile base? All this requires is an order from the top management.
Could it be that you feel that the current mobile base production consumes too many resources and the production cost is too high, and you hope to improve the design and reduce the production cost?
Chen Xin was wondering when the military representative had already explained: "Academician Chen, you have misunderstood. In fact, we came to you because we hope you can design a new mobile base that can be better used for regional defense." support."
"Are the existing mobile bases not enough to complete this task? What are your specific requirements for the new mobile base?" Chen Xin looked at the military representative and wanted to hear his specific requirements.
Hearing what Chen Xin said, the military representatives and high-level representatives looked at each other and said directly to him without being polite: "Actually, it's like this. The existing mobile base has indeed played a very good role, and we have also responded to it." We are very satisfied with this large-scale mobile facility, but we feel that the firepower delivery capability of the existing mobile base is still a bit low."
"A little lower? Do you want stronger firepower delivery capabilities and battlefield support capabilities?" Chen Xin somewhat understood what the military representative meant.
Seeing that Chen Xin had understood, the military representative also showed a smile on his face: "That's what you mean! The existing mobile base, Academician Chen, was originally built for the main purpose of logistics support. It was used in this war In the process, they also played a very good role in logistical support.
But now the main purpose of the mobile base has changed from logistical support to battlefield support. We need the mobile base to serve as a defensive support node on the battlefield to deal with existing and more powerful combat units from alien creatures.
Therefore, accordingly, the existing mobile bases are somewhat insufficient in terms of firepower and battlefield support capabilities. "
"I understand, the current mobile base is somewhat similar to the amphibious landing ship of the previous Navy, but now you think this can no longer meet combat needs and requires a heavy aircraft carrier, right?" Chen Xin thought over the words of the military representative and re- Another way of saying it.
"That's what I mean. The country hopes that Academician Chen, you can redesign a new mobile base and build it into something similar to a heavy aircraft carrier to better support battlefield operations." A high-level representative met Chen Xin at this time. He already understood the purpose of their coming, so he told him the requirements of the military and high-level officials.
Chen Xin nodded clearly, but fell into thinking: "To improve battlefield support capabilities, the firepower delivery capabilities of the mobile base must be improved. At the same time, it is not only used as a helicopter landing platform... If you want to exist similar to a heavy aircraft carrier, how about taking off and landing fighter jets?"
"I have this idea. After all, the current military airports that the Air Force can use are still some distance from the Dongting Lake theater. Although we are also building new military airports and making deployment adjustments, it is true that a fixed airport is not as good as a An airport that can be moved at will." The military representative nodded and expressed his affirmation to Chen Xin.
"The thing created will be very big. It needs to be redesigned in all aspects of movement and deployment. I'm afraid I won't be able to come up with a good plan in a short time. If you want to use it immediately, then I'm sorry. I'm afraid I really won't be able to do it for a while." Chen Xin looked at the military representative, hesitated, and chose to express tactfully that he couldn't do it.
