Chapter 476 Cement is also transported by air

Wang Buan has always been in charge of killing and buriing.

I've left the interface to you. Whether you use it or not is your business.

Inside the avionics system and fire control system. It's also already a modification. All interfaces are controllable.

All you need to do is attach the appropriate weapon, and it is a battle fortress in the air.

In terms of design, it's certainly not as advanced as the Apache.

Someone else Apache is a professional gunship!

Fundamentally, the Sword King Dragon was also a halfway monk. It's just that all the performances have been specially enhanced.

The two really fought, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer.

At the very least, the protective ability of the Sword King Rex is very strong. That's all grade 5 cemented carbide!

Even if you are hit head-on by the main gun of a 120-mm tank, you will be able to survive unharmed. RPGs in general, anti-aircraft missiles and the like, are not at all afraid.

By the way, after the fight, more weapons are needed......

Helicopter-to-helicopter, you have to rely on air-to-air missiles!

In addition, against ground armament, the best weapons, absolutely all kinds of rockets.

Especially dense rockets.

The Apache can carry a lot of rockets.

Wang Bu'an on the body of the Sword King Dragon also greatly increased the number of rockets.

Previously, there were only four rocket launcher interfaces. Now, that's 48.

You read that right, it's 48!

That's more than 12 times as much as before!

If you want, you can fire 48 rockets in one go!

Modern fighter jets have gradually eliminated weapons such as rockets. It just so happened to be used by helicopters against ground targets. The cost is low and the effect is good.

Missiles are very expensive.

Aerial bombs are also very expensive.

Relatively speaking, the cheapest weapon is, on the contrary, rockets.

Fighters flying at high altitudes, who want to accurately attack ground targets, either use missiles or precision-guided bombs, which are expensive.

If you use other weapons, the hit rate is very low.

Helicopters, on the other hand, fly at low altitudes and are very close to the target, and the hit rate is relatively high.

Rockets, a primitive weapon, are just where heroes come in.

A full 48 rockets can be fired to paralyze a fully formed tank battalion!

With powerful weapons, precise guidance is also required.

Wang Buyan also reserved a large radar pod. It is possible to install a high-power radar.

Relying on the powerful power of the ZM-100 turboshaft engine, there is no problem in installing a radar of 1000K. The detection range can exceed 100 km.

For a helicopter gunship, the detection range of 100 km is already completely sufficient.

It can fly at an ultra-low altitude of only ten meters above the ground.

At such ultra-low altitudes, the detection range of radar is actually very limited.

However, the research of radar has nothing to do with Wang Bu'an for the time being.

He just reserved the radar interface.

In order to strengthen the ability to attack the ground and ships, a large aircraft bomb interface is also reserved.

What kind of aerial bomb can be called "large"?

That is, the total mass is more than 500 kg.

The warhead charge was more than 250 kg.

If it explodes within a radius of thirty meters, it is possible to blow up the old Type 59 tank into a part state.

The King Tiger tank in World War II was known to have no opponent in the world. When encountering this kind of aerial bomb, it was directly blown up and flew up. When it landed, it was already automatically decomposed and disappeared.

Four special bomb attachment devices. It can carry four heavy aerial bombs. The maximum weight of each piece can reach 5000 kg.

If a bomb of this level unfortunately falls on the Shinno ship......

The Shinno ship will also be blown into a parts state......

"So many weapon interfaces?" Liu Zhenhua gasped.

"Is it a lot?" asked Wang Bu'an knowingly.

"Not much, you're going to wipe out all the ammunition depots!"

"It doesn't have to be all on. ”

"That's right. ”

There are pros and cons to a large amount of ammunition.

The advantage is that the attack power is strong and the firepower is endless.

The downside is ...... What if it's shot down by the enemy? All the ammunition is wasted.

If you don't do it, you will become a transport captain.

Ammunition is very expensive.

In particular, missiles and the like are often tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.

Even the cheapest rockets cost a few thousand yuan each. If it is a large-caliber rocket, such as a 223 mm caliber one, it will cost 100,000 yuan!

For example, the US imperialists' 227-mm rocket has a range of 70 kilometers, a warhead weighing 90 kilograms, a price of $100,000, and an accuracy of less than 10 meters. Note that this is still very cost-effective. If it's not cost-effective. That's more than $100,000. For example, the richest third brother is generally two or three times more expensive.

For another example, the unit price of a domestic 300 mm long-range rocket is 750,000 yuan. In this way, a salvo of a 12-barreled 300mm long-range rocket launcher will cost 9 million yuan, which is equivalent to 33 Mercedes-Benz C-200L sports sedans of the 2015 model year being shot out. A salvo of 4 rocket-made artillery guns cost 36 million yuan. A 12-gun rocket artillery battalion fired a salvo at a cost of 108 million yuan.

One salvo, it's 100 million.

Two salvos are 200 million.

If you fire a salvo ten times and eight times, that's a billion eight hundred million gone.

This is only the cost of ammunition, not counting the cost of surveying, meteorology, radar, reconnaissance drones and other supporting systems that need to be used when using long-range rocket artillery.

Wang Buan felt that the rockets were very cheap. There are 48 interfaces in one go. But I don't know that it's also money!

A salvo of 48 rockets is at least 480,000 yuan.

The air-to-ground rockets equipped with helicopters are more valuable than ordinary rockets.

Wang Buan was crooked.

He thought that Liu Zhenhua was worried that the Sword King Dragon would not be beaten.

"Minister Liu, do you want to try it with avant-garde?" Wang Buan said intentionally or unintentionally.

"Is it okay?" Liu Zhenhua frowned.

"I think so. ”

"Still don't. It's too dangerous. ”

Liu Zhenhua is very cautious.

He vetoed Wang Buan's suggestion.

After all, the power of the avant-garde series of anti-aircraft missiles is also very large. High hit rate. Destructive.

Even if Apache was hit, he would have to be seriously injured if he didn't die.

Wang Buan did not insist.

We'll talk about that then.

Now let's move on to testing the other performances.

After you have fully squeezed out the performance of the Sword King Dragon, it is not too late to try slowly.

He's going to the Western Frontier now.

The mission has changed.

The Mi-171 is no longer used for missions.

Switch to a Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopter for transportation. At the same time, it is also a test of the performance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopt

It was not Huo and his party who carried out the task.

He was going to continue testing the Sword King Rex gunship. Hanging bomb test.

Nie Chuan did not accompany him.

He also had to test the weapon performance of the Sword King Rex gunship.

This kind of bomb hanging test is definitely not something that ordinary people can carry out. It must be a master like Huo Yixing and Nie Chuan. Boldness of execution stems from superb skill.

Otherwise, if the helicopter has an accident and the bomb crashes, the consequences will be very serious.

Especially in the case of carrying aerial bombs. It's devastating.

This kind of test must be carried out in the Great Northwest.

It must be in the deserted Gobi Desert to have a sufficient safety factor.

Carrying out the transport mission was the army aviation regiment that formed a small mountain. His entire army aviation regiment was all reequipped with Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopters. The establishment remains unchanged. Or thirty-seven.

"Where to go first?"

"Jiangcheng. ”

"Oh. ”

The first stop of the mission is Jiangcheng.

It is necessary to load supplies in Jiangcheng. Then continue on your way.

Takeoff.

Cruise.

Three or four hours later, he landed at a base on the outskirts of Jiangcheng.

The logistics base has already prepared a large amount of supplies. Including grain, vegetables, clothing, ammunition, medical equipment, medicines, etc.

There are even thousands of tons of high-grade military cement.

"Cement is also airlifted?"

"Yes.

"It is estimated that this is the luckiest batch of cement. ”

"Hey, hey. ”

That's right, it's indeed the most glorious batch of cement, and it's actually qualified to fly.

Such heavy construction materials are actually qualified to be transported by air. If it is for outsiders to see it, they will definitely think that the commander's brain is in water.

However, cement is a must for all infrastructure.

The infrastructure of border posts is the most difficult. The main thing is the difficulty of transporting materials.

In order to transport construction materials for one dollar, it is often necessary to pay five yuan in transportation costs. Sometimes it's even higher. From an economic point of view, 100% is not cost-effective.

However, how can we simply use the cost calculation to meet the needs of national defense construction?

No matter how high the cost, you have to stick to it.

The officers and soldiers on the front line are gritting their teeth and insisting, are the logistics departments dragging their feet?

Well, now a helicopter can carry hundreds of tons of cement, which can be used for a long time. The cost is also completely acceptable.

Burning air from the ZM-100 turboshaft engine. Does air have a cost?

In addition, it is necessary to purify water.

The area where the outpost is located is arid and rainless, and needs to be replenished by melted snow.

Conditions have improved a lot over the years. But there are still shortcomings. We need to keep up the good work. It is necessary to do our utmost to improve the daily life of officers and men on the front line.

Then there are fresh green vegetables. It's all freshly picked.

There are a few other supplies. Including hydrogen storage alloys. Air conditioning included. Including water molecule synthesizers and much more.

With these materials, the living conditions of the outpost can be greatly improved. With the diligence and wisdom of the border guards, they may be able to transform the area around the outpost into a plug in the south of the Yangtze River.

In total, thirty-seven T-Rex helicopters. Each transports 220 tons of supplies. That's more than 8,000 tons of supplies.

If it is transported by car, it is estimated that more than 1,000 cars will be needed to transport 5 tons per car.

If it's to calculate transit time...... That would be completely pointless.

From Jiangcheng to the target post, the maximum range is 3500 km. It takes about 10 hours.

If you are traveling by car, it can take as little as a week due to road restrictions.

Cheng Xiaoshan personally planned the flight route.

In general, it is still a straight flight. But it is necessary to bypass the Kunlun Mountains.

Cheng Xiaoshan was worried that the Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopter would not be able to cross the Kunlun Mountains when it was fully loaded. It's not a matter of height. It's a matter of temperature and wind.

In some passes of the Kunlun Mountains, the temperature is very low and the wind is very strong. Wind gusts sometimes exceed force ten.

For a fully loaded helicopter, the main concern is the lack of engine power.

"No problem. Wang Buan said affirmatively.

"But ......" Cheng Xiaoshan wanted to speak and stopped.

He was still a little worried.

There was an accident in the Kunlun Pass.

It was a fully loaded Mi-171 helicopter that unfortunately crashed.

After the investigation, the cause should be insufficient power of the engine. As a result, when encountering a strong wind, it did not succeed in stabilizing it, and the result was unfortunately out of control.

Until now, the fallen pilot has not been found. The wrecked place is also very dangerous and difficult to access.

After that, several search and rescue teams were dispatched, but they were never able to complete the task.

"The superior said that if everything goes well, when we return home, I hope we can look for the crash site. Cheng Xiaoshan said slowly.

"Why?" Wang Bu'an was puzzled.

"Bring back the martyrs. ”

"Oh. ”

Wang Buan nodded.

He is not a military man. He does not understand the feelings of a soldier.

But since Cheng Xiaoshan said so, he will definitely go all out. Every martyr deserves to rest in peace. It should be respected.

It took a whole day just to load the goods.

Most of the pilots were resting. Only Cheng Xiaoshan brought people to personally supervise the loading.

The cargo hold was full and began to use the plug-in.

All cement is plugged in. If there is danger, they are discarded first.

In general, everyone still has a little concern about the weight carrying capacity of the Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopter. In some respects, preparatory measures have been taken.

After all, a helicopter with a load capacity of 220 tons is unprecedented. Definitely the best in the world.

The next day, everything was ready. Ready to go.

Each helicopter is equipped with three pilots.

One is driving, one is co-piloting. There is also a shift rest in the cargo hold.

Mainly considering the long flight, 10 hours is very tiring. Three pilot shifts are required. Each person flies for about three hours. Avoid drowsy driving.

No mechanics.

No maintenance staff.

There's no need for ground handling or anything.

Personnel can be greatly streamlined. There could be more people turned into pilots.

"Gone. ”

"Let's go!"

Takeoff.

Mighty westward.

The next stop is a military airport in Qamdo.

The purpose of the Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopter landing here was to change the pilot.

The helicopter had to land on the ground in order to be replaced.

This section of the voyage is about 1,600 kilometers. Expect to fly for five hours.

Since it was just departure, the energy of the first driver was still very good. Flying for five hours straight, it's not much of a problem.

Sure enough, the journey was safe. Five hours later, I landed at the local airport.

Take a break for an hour. Smoke. Refresh oneself.

Substitution.

Keep flying.

The next stop is a military station in the Ali area.

There is no airfield around this military station. But there is a lot of leveled permafrost. It can fully withstand the take-off and landing of a 250-ton helicopter.

Some of the supplies will be unloaded at this station. At the same time, it is a change of driver.

This section of the voyage is about 1,400 kilometers.

Four hours later, the Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopter formation arrived safely.

I don't feel any difficulty at all.

It's just flying and flying all the way, and then the destination is there.

It feels like the Tyrannosaurus Rex helicopter still has a lot of strength that hasn't been used. It's a bit overkill.

Landing.

Rest.

Unload.

Change the driver.

Then divide the troops into multiple routes. Towards different posts.
