The plan the military came up with was crazy.
Even though as a network expert, he often had a lot of imagination and even joked that there was a black hole above his neck, Chen Xin was shocked by the military's whimsical plan.
The plan put forward by the military is more of a construction plan than an offensive plan.
Speaking of tunnel warfare, the Yan Kingdom military had never practiced this tactic before, and they still had some experience in how to clear out enemies in tunnels.
But these experiences have certain limitations.
After all, whether it is smoke and fire, flooding of tunnels, or underground bombs that move mountains and unload mountains, the effect is pretty good when dealing with small-scale tunnels, but when dealing with large-scale underground tunnels, especially this kind of downward digging The hundreds of kilometers of underground tunnels are useless.
Just like the caves under Dongting Lake now, even if the entire Dongting Lake is opened and all the water is poured in, the entire cave cannot be filled.
As for using smoke and other methods, it is not that they have never tried it, but the huge passages and the underground cave network extending in all directions ensure the ventilation of the caves below. Whether it is smoke or poisonous gas, it is not relevant at all. Instead, he let his own people do somersaults and was in a state of embarrassment.
Although the plan to use heavy bombs to blow up underground caves is feasible, after some research and analysis, the military still feels that this plan cannot completely eradicate alien creatures underground.
The military once used supercomputers and a virtual system designed by Chen Xin to conduct simulation experiments. Detonating a five-megaton nuclear bomb underground could indeed cause a large-scale collapse of underground caves in the Dongting Lake area.
Theoretically, the strategic goal is to cause all the caves and tunnels in this area to collapse in a chain reaction and eliminate the alien creatures underground.
But in simulation experiments, the military also found that unless they could bury the nuclear bomb deep enough, the power of the nuclear explosion could not be transmitted to the deep underground, let alone collapse the deep underground tunnels.
As for using more powerful nuclear bombs, it is not impossible, but the greater the power, the greater the impact will be, and it may also have an impact on surrounding cities.
Their purpose is to destroy alien creatures, not to cause a major earthquake in the entire Dongting Lake area.
Therefore, after much research, the military decided to adopt a steady and steady plan, advancing downward step by step, and building a stronghold as a strategic support point after each advance.
Stockpile supplies, rest and reorganize troops at the support points, and then launch a new offensive based on the support points. Continue to deepen, gradually and steadily, and completely clear the entire underground space.
The feasibility of this plan is very high, and the military is indeed implementing this plan.
Although the progress has been slow, it has indeed achieved certain results. Some shallow caves were cleared and captured in this way.
There are no other problems with the whole plan except that the investment is a bit high and the results are a bit slow.
However, with the speculation that alien creatures may move south to Africa and attack from the Middle East in the European battlefield, and as the military gradually deepens, various heavy weapons cannot exert their power, and the offensive becomes slower and slower, the military has to consider changes. own plan in order to speed up the attack and shorten the time to clear the Dongting Lake area.
This will undoubtedly require modifications to the entire plan, and it will also greatly increase the difficulty of marching and building in underground caves.
The modification of the plan was easy to say. It took a group of senior military staff members about half a month to complete the adjustments and modifications to the entire plan, shortening the originally expected three-year settlement plan to within half a year.
However, what follows is that the military must upgrade existing weapons and equipment and increase their clearance efficiency in underground caves by at least three times in order to ensure that the clearance task is completed on time.
Not to mention the increasing difficulty of construction of underground strategic support points. It can be said that many of the things proposed are difficult for even Chen Xin, who has a systematic approach.
However, in the view of the military, Chen Xin, who can create a weather controller that can purify the sky, a land-based aircraft carrier that can be used as an airfield, and a series of things that only appear in science fiction works, must have the ability to solve problems.
After all, the requirements they put forward are much simpler than purifying the sky and building a flying aircraft carrier.
But Chen Xin still had the urge to scold his mother when he saw these demands put forward by the military.
It is not difficult to upgrade existing weapons and equipment to increase the efficiency of the military's clearance of underground caves. It is nothing more than developing a new weapon.
As for the resource investment and cost issues caused by the introduction of new weapons, now that the country can obtain resources from Europe, it is also not a big problem.
What really embarrassed Chen Xin was the military's proposal to build strategic support points underground.
First, these strategic support points must have sufficient logistics and maintenance capabilities so that troops can be stationed, repaired and supplied.
This is what it should be. Although considering that the places where these supply points will be built in the future may be hundreds of meters deep underground, Chen Xin still feels that this is a problem that can be solved.
However, the military also requires that these support points have sufficient defense against attacks by alien creatures, so that they can maintain the existence of the support points when attacked by alien creatures, and even repel attacks from alien creatures, which is somewhat difficult to achieve. .
In particular, the military also requires that these support points must be quickly established and quickly form combat effectiveness. This really makes Chen Xin want to curse.
Are you kidding me? It’s difficult enough for the construction workers to build a logistics supply point hundreds of meters underground. It’s also difficult enough for the construction workers to have sufficient defense at the supply point, and it also needs to be able to be set up quickly!
This kind of request would have been met by anyone in the other construction or R&D departments on the spot. In other words, Chen Xin could still consider whether there is any means to achieve this.
After all, this kind of unreasonable request is comparable to a certain sharpshooter primary school student who thinks about blue cats all day long.
But perhaps it is true that only the blue cat's completely unreasonable black technology can achieve this requirement.
As for Chen Xin himself, after carefully studying the military's requirements and plans for three days, he came to the conclusion that the investment in this entire plan was too huge and very impractical.
Even if he can fulfill the military's requirements, the investment in this plan exceeds the current limit that Yan Guo can bear.
After all, the country needs to prevent possible wars in the Middle East in the future, and it is impossible to invest too many resources in this clean-up plan.
