Chapter 159 Offshore Floating Platform

However, the super extruded material successfully developed by Huanyu Company is fully able to meet various requirements in construction, and the performance is better than that of traditional building materials. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, this super extruded material has good air permeability, fire resistance, waterproof, corrosion resistance, light weight, low density, strong structural ability, and has only slightly weaker strength than steel after extrusion molding.

These good properties also allow this material to be used not only for architectural purposes, but also for military applications such as shipbuilding.

No matter what kind of advanced science and technology and materials in the world, as long as the research and development is successful, the first thing that comes to mind is whether it can be used for military purposes.

So now the material expert directly comes to mind that military ships, amphibious combat vehicles, and large offshore floating platforms like aircraft carriers can be used for military purposes such as this super-puffed material.

If military ships are built entirely from this super-puffed material, although the protection and strength are slightly weaker, as long as special armor and keels are added, these problems do not exist.

However, there are many advantages to building military ships from this super puffed material, such as the weight of the hull is much lighter than it should be, the buoyancy has increased, and the draft has been reduced.

Then because the weight of the hull itself is reduced, the buoyancy increases, it will be able to carry more weapons and equipment, and the speed itself will also increase with the weight reduction.

And if this material is used in the construction of amphibious armored combat vehicles, there is no need to worry about the buoyancy of the combat vehicle in the water.

And even later, all combat vehicles will be able to turn into amphibious armored fighting vehicles, amphibious armored tanks, and so on.

Because as long as some of this super puffed material is added to the interior of the original tank and armored vehicle, it can not only better ensure the fire performance of the armored vehicle, reduce some unnecessary steel frames, and then there is no need to install any inflatable and floating equipment inside the armored vehicle, which can ensure that the entire tank and armored vehicle can continue to drive in the water.

According to the buoyancy of this super expanded material has similar buoyancy as most foams, one cubic meter of this super expanded material can ensure that a 1-ton object does not sink in water.

Therefore, if a tank combat vehicle of more than ten tons or dozens of tons only needs to be slightly modified, it can have amphibious combat capabilities.

There is also the floating platform at sea for military purposes, that is, a kind of sea airfield that is larger than an aircraft carrier.

This kind of offshore floating platform has long been conceived by the United States and some European countries, and our country, and then the feasibility of this kind of offshore floating platform has been further studied.

For example, the floating platform at sea that the United States first envisioned is a floating fortress with a displacement of 650,000, and its cost is equivalent to several aircraft carriers.

Because the floating platform itself is still the same as shipbuilding, built with a large amount of steel, and also has to consider the power system and various other functions, similar to that of an earlier aircraft carrier.

And even if you don't think about the power system, just build such a hull, and then use it as a military airfield at sea.

But once a war breaks out, does this floating platform have sufficient defense capabilities, so people may only need a few million missiles to sink this 'live target' floating on the sea that you spent tens of billions or even hundreds of billions to build.

But now, if you use this super puffed material developed by Huanyu to build it, because it has the same buoyancy as foam, how can its cost be stronger than that of a live target made of steel, right?

Because such a floating platform at sea, as long as it is slightly larger, it can be used as a land airfield, and due to the characteristics of the material itself, even if it is hit by a missile, it will at most be a hole, and it will not sink to the bottom of the sea.

Then the floating platform is no longer just a live target that is completely beaten, but a combat system with good combat effectiveness.

And such a floating platform, if the power system is not considered, then its cost cannot be higher than building an aircraft carrier, right?

"Chief, if the super extruded material developed by Huanyu Company is really exactly as the information says, it will be of great significance to our national defense and military, and it can even directly solve our weaknesses in the navy. ”

"There should be no problem with the authenticity of this material, because I have confirmed it from Huanyu just now, and Huanyu has promised to sell us a part, but because of the complexity of manufacturing costs and processes, we can only be given 20 cubic meters for the time being, and the price of this material is not cheap, and the price of one cubic meter is as high as 50,000 yuan. ”

Yes, the price Yang Yu quoted to the above leaders before was the selling price of 50,000 yuan per cubic meter, according to the characteristics of this material, measured by volume, compared with ordinary steel.

A cubic meter of steel weighs almost 8 tons, and even if a ton of steel is calculated at 3,000 tons, a cubic meter of steel will cost 24,000.

The price reported by Yang Yu is 50,000 cubic meters, which means that it is twice as expensive as ordinary steel, and such a price is definitely not close to the people.

The reason is also very simple, for example, according to a large aircraft carrier with a length of more than 300 meters and a displacement of 100,000 tons, it takes almost 100,000 tons of steel to build such a large aircraft carrier, and even if it is calculated according to the national conditions of our country, it will cost almost 50 billion yuan to build such a large aircraft carrier of 100,000 tons.

And even if you just calculate the price of steel, it will be at least 40 to 5 billion, because the steel used in aircraft carriers is not ordinary steel.

The 100,000 tons of steel are calculated according to cubic meters, which is about more than 12,600 cubic meters.

However, if this amount of super extruded material is used, it is impossible to build an offshore floating platform that can meet the needs of aircraft taking off and landing freely at sea.

Because in order to meet the normal take-off and landing of aircraft at sea, at least a super large offshore floating platform with a width of more than 300 meters, a length of 3,000 meters, and a height of 2 to 3 meters must be required.

However, to build such an offshore floating platform with super extruded materials, even if some hollow designs are used inside, at least 2 million cubic meters of materials are needed to meet the requirements.

At such a cost, it is almost possible to build two 100,000-ton aircraft carriers.

Therefore, according to the quotation Yang Yu gives to the above now, it is impossible to build any offshore floating platform with this material, after all, the cost is too high and it is not cost-effective at all.

Unless Yang Yu is sold to the military at ten times the cost price, then the plan of this offshore floating platform may still be approved, but now that Yang Yu is sold to the military at a price of more than 100 yuan of the cost price, such a plan is naturally impossible to be passed.
