NOVEL WEB Chapter 144
The second-generation Apocalypse tank has a tonnage of 80 tons.
It has heavy armor and a huge turret.
It is equipped with a water-cooled supercharged diesel engine with a horsepower of up to 1,200.
The unit power reaches 15 horsepower per ton.
This also allows this Apocalypse tank to have a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
The tank's fire control electronic technology basically has what the Guardian main battle tank has.
Its biggest advantage is its protection and firepower.
After all, there are two 120mm caliber tank guns.
The front-line combat troops can be equipped with some Apocalypse tanks.
However, Jiang Fan is not equipped too much. Each armored division is equipped with one battalion.
Then there is the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle.
The second-generation multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle is divided into many models.
There are tracked versions, as well as large eight-wheeled and six-wheeled versions.
In terms of tonnage, it has increased to 22 tons, with thicker protection capabilities and more complete models.
There is also a great improvement in mobility.
Equipped with a 500-horsepower supercharged water-cooled engine, the maximum highway speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour.
The weapons equipped include twin 20mm machine guns, 30mm machine guns, 75mm low-pressure howitzers, and 105mm anti-tank guns.
And these models can be equipped with quadruple anti-tank missile launchers. It also has day and night combat capabilities.
In addition, it also has air defense versions, airborne infantry fighting vehicle versions, and amphibious vehicle versions.
The multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle is worthy of being the panacea weapon of the Red Alert base.
Most of the infantry fighting vehicles equipped by the army are variants of multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles.
Then Jiang Fan looked at another tank.
Tank killer.
This is also one of the Red Alert units.
Tank killer is also a general term for the entire self-propelled artillery system.
There are 155mm self-propelled howitzers, 203mm self-propelled cannons, and 240mm self-propelled mortars.
These are all equipped with advanced fire control electronic systems.
The range exceeds 20 kilometers.
For example, the range of the 203mm self-propelled cannon is more than 30 kilometers. If the rocket bottom discharge is used, the maximum range can even reach 50 kilometers.
There is also the V2 self-propelled rocket launcher.
It also has many versions, which are generally divided into tracked versions and wheeled versions.
They are all based on multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles.
The tracked version is mainly 50-mounted with a caliber of 132 mm and 20-mounted with a caliber of 200 mm.
The wheeled version is the same.
In general, the army's tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery, self-propelled rocket launchers, etc. have all undergone a major update.
Of course, the price is not cheap.
If the entire army wants to replace it, it is estimated that it will cost billions of funds.
Take a Guardian main battle tank as an example. The price of a single vehicle is as high as 20,000.
The number of tanks equipped by a mechanized group army is basically about 1,500.
It will cost 30 million yuan to replace all the tanks of a mechanized group army alone.
Basically, it will cost at least 100 million to replace all the weapons and equipment of a mechanized group army.
The cost of refitting the entire army is basically between 2 billion and 3 billion.
Based on the current daily income of 10 million,
3 billion will take 300 days to accumulate, which is nearly a year.
"It's not enough, far from enough. It seems that we must deploy sub-bases as soon as possible."
After returning to the base, he thought about deploying sub-bases.
Currently, there are three sub-bases in the Red Alert base.
One is in Bei'an, Heilongjiang.
One is in Fangchenggang, Guangxi.
The other is in Borneo in Southeast Asia.
The number of sub-bases is limited.
A total of 12 sub-bases can be built in the fourth-level base.
Now that three have been sent out, there are nine sub-bases left.
First, one must be deployed in the Middle East.
He has already thought about where to deploy it.
One must also be deployed in Australia.
The mineral resources there are extremely rich.
And Jiang Fan still has some ideas about Australia.
So deploy one It is necessary to have a sub-base.
It can be used as a pure resource sub-base.
Then two can be deployed in Africa.
One in southern Africa and one in North Africa.
Africa is also a place rich in natural resources.
Although Jiang Fan has no idea about the land here.
But he has ideas about economic colonization in Africa.
In addition, one should be deployed in North and South America. The North American base is located in the border area between the United States and Mexico.
The sub-base in South America is located in Venezuela, which has rich oil resources.
You can even stir up the relationship between these countries and the United States here.
Let the Americans The back garden is in chaos.
Jiang Fan has some concerns about whether to deploy in Europe.
Considering that one has already been deployed in North Africa.
It is also very close to Europe.
If the sub-base is deployed in Europe, there are still some risks.
So the sub-base in North Africa is enough.
In this way, a total of 6 vehicles have been sent out, and there are only three sub-bases left.
Jiang Fan is not in a hurry to deploy them, and can be used as backup.
The sub-base is still very useful.
It can be used as an extension of the base.
These bases will be transported there in various ways.
Basically, the deployment of these 6 sub-bases can be completed within three months. Apart from anything else, the daily capital of 20 million can be guaranteed.
Counting the three branch bases and the main base.
There are a total of ten bases, and two million for each base is not a problem at all.
Even thirty or fifty million a day is not a problem. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Anyway, he will not feel bad about collecting foreign resources. If they are hollowed out, just look for the next vein.
While building the branch base, Jiang Fan began to think about another thing.
Tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery, self-propelled rocket launchers and other main battle weapons have all been replaced.
But the army's individual weapons are still the same old ones.[]
That is, the STG-44 assault rifle plus the MG34/42 general-purpose machine gun, etc.
Although these two weapons are very good and fully sufficient.
But other weapons have been replaced, how can individual weapons not be replaced?
Jiang Fan originally wanted to use the AK rifle, PRK light machine gun, PKM general-purpose machine gun, etc. directly.
After all, this is the world's first series of squad weapons of the gun family.
The performance is simple and reliable, and it is also very mature.
But the AK gun family is not very suitable for China.
The reason is also very simple. The Chinese are thinner.
And the Russians are basically tall and strong.
Since the base has the function of customizing weapons, why doesn't he design a set of squad weapons of the gun family himself, and he can also use it to test the water and see how this function works.
So Jiang Fan plans to use the AK gun family as a blueprint, improve its design, and then form a localized gun family.
So Jiang Fan directly produced the AKM rifle, PRK light machine gun, and PKM general-purpose machine gun.
Then all of them were split and studied.
Since you want to design, you must understand some of the principles of the weapon.
Although the rifle looks simple, it is not simple in reality.
It has a sense of simplicity.
After studying for a few days, Jiang Fan has some ideas.
Open the base interface and do it.
The first thing is to determine the caliber.
STG-The 44 rifle uses a 7.92mm bullet.
Although it uses an intermediate power bullet, this caliber is still���It is too big, which also causes the recoil of this assault rifle to be very large, and it is basically impossible to shoot continuously.
The trend of future rifles is to be small-caliber.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, a small caliber bullet means that it has low power and short range.
If you think so, you are wrong.
If this is the case, why do all major countries start to make small-caliber rifles?
Small-caliber rifles can completely replace large-caliber rifles because they can surpass their predecessors in performance.
The caliber is small, and the power is indeed not as good as the large-caliber intermediate power bullet.
But small-caliber bullets also have their advantages.
That is, the initial velocity is high.
This is very critical.
The high initial velocity makes up for its shortcomings in power.
In addition, it also brings more benefits.
For example, it can carry more ammunition, has less recoil, and has a longer direct shooting distance.
Jiang Fan once saw a set of data comparisons.
The comparison is between the Type 95 rifle and the Type 81 rifle.
The Type 95 uses 5.8mm bullets, and the Type 81 rifle still uses 7.62mm bullets.
The 5.8mm bullet is two-thirds the weight of the 7.62mm bullet.
In terms of muzzle velocity, the 95-type is 960 meters per second and the 81-type rifle is 710 meters per second.
At a distance of 500 meters, the kinetic energy of the 5.8mm bullet is significantly higher than that of the 7.62mm bullet.
Moreover, the 5.8mm bullet only starts to fall at a distance of 370 meters.
The 7.62mm bullet starts to fall at a distance of 280 meters.
The advantages and disadvantages of these two bullets are clear at a glance, and these have passed strict data comparison and actual combat.
Besides, soldiers in modern time and space all wear various bulletproof vests.
But now countries do not have this condition.
Whether it is 7.62 or 5.8, basically one shot can make the opponent lose combat effectiveness.
After all, small-caliber bullets will produce a cavity effect when they hit the target.
And the 7.62mm bullet will only be produced after entering a long distance.
The bullet uses the cavity effect to make the opponent lose combat effectiveness.
If the power is too strong, it will directly penetrate the enemy's body.
The Japanese Type 38 rifle suffered this loss.
It was precisely because of these factors that Jiang Fan decided on the caliber of 5.8 mm.
Since the Chinese of later generations all use this caliber, there must be no problem.
After determining the caliber, the AKM rifle was improved.
Then....Then just wait.
Jiang Fan only needs to determine some approximate data, and then determine the caliber and blueprint of the rifle.
The rest can be left to the base weapon customization function.
But this thing also costs money.
The larger the weapon, the higher the charge.
After the base is upgraded, why does it feel like everything costs money.
Soon, a brand new rifle appeared in front of Jiang Fan.
This rifle has many similarities with the AKM rifle.
After all, this thing is improved on the basis of the AKM rifle.
Then Jiang Fan began to design light machine guns and general machine guns.
In many parts, they have a high degree of versatility with rifles.
Only in this way can a gun family be formed.
However, for general machine guns, 7.92 mm full-power bullets are still used.
After all, machine guns are about power, and the caliber of 5.8 mm is too small.
There is no such concern for light machine guns.
Then the semi-automatic sniper rifle was also made.
These firearms took Jiang Fan more than a week in total.
The specific performance still needs to be tested for a long time.
