Are you touching me in the military industry? I sell fishing rods!

Chapter 247 Drone Mothership! Nantianmen concept!
After listening to what Qiao Zhenhai said, Qian Zhizhong looked at each other with Qin Shan and others next to him.

Then they all nodded slightly.

Yes, if the Black and White Eagle really dares to blow up its feathers, then with their current strength, they can indeed pluck all of the Black and White Eagle's feathers!

Not to mention anything else, just the swarm of bombers equipped with Judge drones that Su Heng proposed just now can easily destroy the defense force of any village!

Even the black and white eagle is like this!
Black and White Eagle's unparalleled fleet that roams the world may be powerful, but so what?

There is no need for twin tails to take action. Thousands of Thunder drones are equipped with three thousand Judge drones. Under a single salvo, any fleet will be scrapped!

An attack 800 kilometers away, regardless of whether you can detect it in advance, even if you detect it, it will be of no use!
If you are poor, you can use tactics to intersperse, if you are rich, you can cover it with firepower!
Tactics + firepower, specializing in treating all dissatisfactions!
……

While Qiao Zhenhai and others were busy preparing to combine the brigade.

On the other side, in the underground laboratory of Jiuding Group——

"almost……"

Even though these equipment are all developed and produced by Su Heng...

And below the deck, there are huge drone warehouses!

And if you want to meet the needs of electromagnetic ejection, you can only strengthen the body of the Judge.

The judge itself relies on low cost and quantity to accumulate value!
If the cost goes up, what's the point?
If you have the skills, wouldn't it be nice to just create a bunch of Thunder Gods and Twin Tails?

The electromagnetic ejection system on the freighter is equipped for these thunder and twin-tail drones.

It’s almost equal to the price of four twin-tailed drones plus three smart biological helmets!
The cost is not high.

Approximately similar to an amphibious assault ship.

The cost of a carrier-based version of a twin-tailed unmanned early warning aircraft is as high as 18 million dragon coins!

As well as a total of fifty drone launch systems and two electromagnetic ejection systems!
These drone warehouses are designed to carry a total of 10,000 Judge drones!

Whether it is the drone mothership or the judge drone on the drone mothership, it is initially positioned as a consumable.

Of course, because it only carries a small disposable drone like the Judge, the deck of this cargo ship is not as strong as an amphibious assault ship.

This behemoth is the product of Su Heng's research based on the concept of drone freighter proposed by Qin Shan during this period.

However, after verification, this idea was abandoned by Su Heng.

The cost of these ten drones is much higher. The basic model of the Thunder UAV Su Heng is sold to the National Defense Force for only 800,000 yuan and costs 700,000 yuan. However, the Thunder UAV is equipped with a large number of additional Reconnaissance and observation equipment, the value of these things is much higher than the thunder drone itself.

In general, after the upgrade and modification, the freighter has now completely turned into a drone mothership.

Even the deck can be opened directly!

However, the cost of these twin-tailed unmanned early warning aircraft and thunder unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is much higher than that of the Judge.

As for the UAV aircraft carrier itself, because there is no need to consider the design and development costs, the only basic costs that really need to be invested are labor and materials.

The drone launch system below the deck is directly connected to the drone warehouse, and can launch all 10,000 Judge drones within half an hour!

Otherwise, even Thunder and Twin Tails will not be able to take off and land on the freighter.

The reason is very simple. The body of the Judge is not strong enough, and the huge load brought by the electromagnetic ejection can destroy the Judge in an instant!

But the number was only ten.

After calculation, plus some supporting equipment, the total cost is just over 100 million!
And it’s also a dragon coin!
In other words, the total cost of all drones added up is more than 300 million dragon coins.

This is already more than the price of a basic model of Twin Tails plus a smart biological helmet, plus a basic model of Thunder!
This is especially true for twin-tailed unmanned early warning aircraft.

Su Heng murmured to himself as he looked at the giant creature that was one hundred and eighty-seven meters long and twenty-nine meters wide.

Not to mention the Judge, even the Thunder, twin-tailed unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and early warning aircraft currently on the ship were only able to meet the requirements of shipboard and electromagnetic ejection after Su Heng redesigned and strengthened the main body.

According to Su Heng's estimate, the cost of building a drone aircraft carrier will not exceed 400 million, dragon coins!

In addition, on this modified freighter, Su Heng is also equipped with six Thunder unmanned reconnaissance drones that have been modified and strengthened to be able to fold their wings, and four double-tailed foldable twin-tail aircraft that have also been modified by Su Heng. Unmanned early warning aircraft.

After modification, the surface of the current freighter has been replaced with a flat through deck. There is also one more ship island.

As for the Judge, Su Heng originally planned to use the electromagnetic ejection system to launch the Judge.

In addition, this is a carrier-based model, and the airframe needs to be upgraded to meet the space and take-off and landing requirements of the ship.

This is completely a waste of time!

However, after comprehensive consideration, Su Heng gave up this idea.

The reason is simple, it's not necessary.

The total cost of 10,000 drones is only 100 million. Even if you include gunpowder and later installed navigation and positioning equipment and basic intelligent programs, the cost will not exceed 200 million, and it is dragon coins!
Then there are the Thunder reconnaissance aircraft and twin-tailed unmanned early warning aircraft above.

This is after adding the cost of electromagnetic ejection, necessary communication control and other messy equipment inside.

The main body is a 27,000-ton cargo ship that has been built by Yongyuan Shipyard.

Su Heng originally wanted to install some electronic countermeasures equipment and electromagnetic weapons on it.

The only flaw is that this drone carrier does not have much defensive capabilities.

This also caused the cost of the Thunder unmanned reconnaissance drone to skyrocket from 700,000 to 6.3 million!

But in that case, the cost of the Judge, who is only a disposable item, will increase significantly.

In total, the cost of such a drone mothership will not exceed 800 million dragon coins.

It’s the price of an ordinary destroyer or even a frigate!
What kind of defense does this thing need?
Even if it was really bombed, I wouldn’t feel bad at all!
Not to mention that there are knife-wielding guards like the Longyuan battleship beside this drone aircraft carrier!

The Longyuan battleship is almost a master of defense!
Whether it’s electromagnetic weapons or electronic countermeasures weapons, we have them all!
As long as Long Yuan is there, it doesn't matter whether the drone aircraft carrier has defenses. Without Long Yuan, it would be meaningless even if the drone aircraft carrier is equipped with electromagnetic guns.

You can’t also upgrade the drone aircraft carrier’s armaments to the level of Long Yuan, right?

Enough support?
So Su Heng simply gave up equipping the drone aircraft carrier with a defense system.

Dedicate people to do specific tasks, and use consumables to do their job. Don’t worry about anything else.

Of course, if we insist on speaking, drone aircraft carriers are not completely defenseless.

Those unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and early warning aircraft can completely monitor a radius of hundreds of kilometers around the clock!
Once any dangerous target approaches, the judges on the drone carrier can immediately launch a fatal strike on the target!
If you want to threaten the drone aircraft carrier, you must first avoid the warning of the drone reconnaissance aircraft and early warning aircraft!
A defense circle with a radius of 800 kilometers. To a certain extent, this is absolute defense!

Ten thousand drones that are comparable to heavy-duty anti-ship missiles, let me ask you whether you are moved or not!

what?
Are you saying that the Judge cannot hit underwater targets?

Are there any big black fish underwater?
Then we're back to square one.

I knew I had no underwater defense, so why would I go out alone? I'm an ADC and I'm going to have a face-to-face fight with a warrior or assassin?
Is there something wrong with my brain?
Take ten thousand steps back.

Leave aside Long Yuan.

Do you want to know about the Chikiss attack submarine, which has a full load displacement of 13,000 tons, eight torpedo tubes and twelve missile silos, and can carry one hundred torpedoes and twelve submarine-launched ballistic missiles when fully loaded?
Even if it is really necessary, the drone aircraft carrier can carry a few more FQ-1 anti-submarine drones from Longyuan!
FQ-1, this is the rotary-wing anti-submarine drone that Su Heng equipped Long Yuan with.

The maximum ceiling is 2,000 meters, the maximum range is 400 kilometers, the maximum endurance is 40 hours, the maximum flight speed is 230 kilometers per hour, and the maximum load is 1,500 kilograms. Anti-submarine cranes with different modules can be mounted as needed. cabin.

Even if such drones are placed on the deck of a drone aircraft carrier, it is no problem to place dozens of them at a time.

Anti-submarine radius of two hundred kilometers!
In this case, what kind of big snakeheaded fish dares to get close, and what kind of big snakeheaded fish can get close? ?

……

After conducting another technical verification test.

Su Heng directly looked away from the drone carrier in front of him.

Then he continued to look at a very illusory and almost completely transparent data model next to him.

From the appearance point of view, this is an oversized version of an aircraft with a flying wing layout.

There is also a string of data information next to the model.

According to the data, this model is 300 meters long and has a wingspan of 800 meters. It is an out-and-out behemoth.

However, this model is now very illusory, even more illusory than the raptor model that Su Heng simulated based on the few raptor data provided by the National Defense Force!
In other words, this model is basically not supported by actual technical data!
It's just an empty shell with nothing but appearances!

"The air platform is a bit troublesome..."

Looking at the illusory model in front of him, Su Heng murmured secretly.

During this week, in addition to studying drone aircraft carriers and transforming Thunder, Thor, and twin-tailed drones.

The rest of the time was spent tinkering with the "Nantian Gate" proposed by Qian Zhizhong.

However, until now, a week has passed, and he still has no clue.

If you want to build an aerial strategic platform that forms a group like what Qian Zhizhong said, you are destined to not be able to do it in a small way like drones like Lei Ming carrying judge drones.

That has no value at all, let alone meaning.

But if you want to expand, how to make this platform fly, how to make this platform continue to fly at an altitude of thirty or forty kilometers, how to control flight costs, etc., etc., are all problems!
Su Heng had previously tried to use pulse detonation engines and variable cycle engines, but after verification, both ideas failed.

Without it, the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low!

You can fly, but taking off once will cost hundreds of millions of dollars!
And the consumption of every minute or even every second is an astronomical figure!
That is an out-and-out gold-swallowing beast!
Every second is pounding gold into it!
No village can afford this thing...

Therefore, whether it was a pulse detonation engine or a variable cycle engine, Su Heng gave up.

And now it is like this, after a week of research, nothing came out except an empty shell with a superficial appearance.

Looking at the model in front of him, Su Heng frowned, and thoughts kept passing through his mind.

I don’t know how long has passed——

"correct!"

A flash of light suddenly flashed through Su Heng's mind!
"Two or thirty thousand meters won't work. The air resistance is too great. It's difficult to fly such a large platform. What about two to three hundred thousand or three to four hundred thousand meters?"

Satellites and space stations quietly emerged in Su Heng's mind.

As we all know, satellites and space stations do not require power to fly.

In other words, only a weak power is needed to maintain flight in space.

The reason is simple. At an altitude of 100,000 meters or even 20,000 to 300,000 meters, the air is very thin!
Correspondingly, the resistance encountered by the aircraft is also greatly reduced!
Then under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, the satellite can fly at high altitudes with very weak power or even no power.

The same goes for the space station.

"If I transform the Origin into a large spaceport, and then deploy space vehicles on it, can I achieve the same effect as the 'Southern Gate'?"

Su Heng's eyes flashed when he thought of the Origin.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

The biggest problem restricting "Nantianmen" is gravity and air resistance.

Needless to say, gravity, planet gravity, knowledge in junior high school.

As long as it is on the planet, no object can escape the control of gravity.

The same goes for airplanes.

The reason why an airplane can take off depends on the lift generated by the difference in air velocity. When the upward lift is greater than the downward gravity, the airplane will naturally fly.

In other words, to overcome gravity, you must create a force that can resist gravity.

The lift brought by the air is not enough to meet the needs of a super-large aircraft like the "Nantianmen".

In other words, even if it is satisfied, the cost-effectiveness ratio is so low that it is unbearable!
Su Heng has also tried to develop anti-gravity equipment, but he has no clue yet!
Such as the anti-gravity engine in the movie. This thing is too advanced and it is impossible to build it in a short time!
As for air resistance, this is also knowledge in junior high school.

To expand, just refer to the sound barrier encountered when an airplane is flying.

The so-called sound barrier is actually air resistance!
Like gravity, any object on the Blue Star that wants to move quickly will encounter air resistance.

To give a simple example, you encounter strong wind while running. When the strong wind reaches a certain level, you cannot run even if you want to, or even be pushed in the opposite direction by the strong wind!

This is resistance!
The sound barrier is the result of the aircraft compressing the air in front to an extreme level after it approaches the speed of sound, which is equivalent to an invisible membrane!
If the aircraft can break through this barrier, then the so-called supersonic aircraft will be born...

The larger the aircraft, the greater the resistance caused by high-speed flight!

For a behemoth like the "Nantian Gate", its resistance is so huge that ordinary people can hardly imagine it!

To obtain the lift to escape gravity, "Nantianmen" must fly at high speed!
In this way, resistance becomes a chasm in the "Southern Gate"!
But high altitude is different.

For example, the origin is operating at an altitude of 400 kilometers, and the air at this altitude is extremely thin.

There is almost no corresponding resistance!

If the "Nantian Gate" is placed at this height, then the problems of resistance and gravity encountered by the "Nantian Gate" can be completely solved.

Thinking of this, Su Heng's mind suddenly became active.

He originally had plans to build the Origin into a large space station or even a spaceport.

Now, doesn’t “Nantianmen” coincide with his thoughts?
