Chapter 503: New Military Transformation

In the past year, the National Defense Forces have completed a new round of "military reform" through measures such as speeding up the updating of weapons and equipment, raising the level of informationization, and renovating the military structure, as well as breakthroughs in the fields of information technology, precision guidance technology, aerospace technology, new energy technology, biotechnology, intelligent technology, and stealth technology, and the national defense strength has been enhanced by leaps and bounds.

The increase in military spending has enabled the army, navy, air force, Second Artillery Corps, and space forces to keep up with the trend of the world and begin to make great strides, thus truly gaining the strength to compete with any country.

The biggest change in the army in recent years is the electrification transformation and the service of a large number of all-electric equipment, such as tanks, armored vehicles, transport vehicles, transport planes, etc., all of which are electric, simplifying logistics support work and improving mobility and combat effectiveness.

The power of army aviation has also risen sharply.

Before the advent of rare earth nano batteries, the entire national defense force only had more than 500 helicopters, which can be called shabby, and after the new batteries entered mass production, the original more than 200 helicopters of various types were electrically modified.

More than 400 helicopters were in service in 2017 alone, and the number more than doubled in 2018.

Entering 2019, the National Defense Force has reorganized several air assault divisions, and in terms of the number of helicopters, it is second only to the Lijianguo army in the world, and in terms of performance and efficiency, it has surpassed the Lijianguo.

In order to reduce the casualties of soldiers, army units make extensive use of battlefield robots, which are divided into several categories according to their combat use.

The first is a "hunting robot" with both tracking and shooting capabilities, equipped with rifles, machine guns, and rocket launchers.

These robots have an all-terrain chassis and can easily pass through stairs, rock piles, and barbed wire. It can also walk in the snow and rivers. It is battery-powered. It can maintain 8 hours of operation.

The robot is equipped with optical reconnaissance or aiming equipment such as video cameras, night vision goggles, and zoom equipment. It can guarantee that it can play a role at any time and in any weather conditions, and carry out intelligence reconnaissance missions at critical times.

Soldiers can remotely control robots from a distance of 2,000 meters.

The second is the "advanced soldier robots" and "insect robots" that reconnoitre and detect buildings and caves.

The third is a "transport robot" that can carry several tons of ammunition and materials and perform reconnaissance tasks, such as the six-legged all-terrain machine platform developed by Galaxy Intelligent Technology, which is commonly known as the "spider" robot, with a battery life of more than 10 hours, and the largest transport type can carry nearly ten tons of materials.

Fourth, "flying robots" that carry out aerial reconnaissance and precision bombing missions, including unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned helicopters, and miniature reconnaissance aircraft.

Fifth, through bionic technology. A guard, mount-type robot.

Now, the most elite soldiers of the Wehrmacht's mountain combat units are equipped with a "whirlwind wolf" robot, which can be ridden on to quickly maneuver in complex terrain; It can also carry materials up to 250 kilograms and accompany the advance; Camping in the wilderness can also play a vigilant role.

There are also heavy robots like the Spider Platform, like the latest "Spider 10" combat platform, which weighs 8.6 tons and is equipped with heavy machine guns, machine guns, anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles.

Because it is equipped with more power, it has a maximum road speed of 90 km/h. The off-road speed exceeds 70 km, taking advantage of particularly complex terrain. It can be used to hunt tanks, armored vehicles and other mobile targets.

The lightest "Spider 8" unmanned combat platform, weighing less than a ton, has a maximum speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour.

This is an original technology provided by Galaxy Intelligent Technology.

This year, through the purchase of the Black Dragon Army's "Awakened" gene enhancer, as well as self-developed similar products, the number of strengthened fighters in the national defense force has exceeded 250,000, and individual combat equipment has also developed greatly.

It is in service with new gun families such as digital rifles, the latest third-generation "Immortal Bird" individual combat system, as well as the "Storm" 2 large power mecha and the "Warrior" exoskeleton armor.

The "Storm 2" large mech is an experimental weapon, and only a very small number of them are in service, and the goal is to use it on the battlefield.

The "Warrior" exoskeleton armor envelops the soldier in steel, and in addition to the disadvantage of slow movement, the attack protection is very strong, and it belongs to the hoplite.

The "Immortal Bird" combat system is produced by the Oriental Security Protective Products Company, and most of the credit for the service of the latter two types of individual equipment belongs to the scientific research institutions of the Dragon Group, and there is also a "Scorpion" biological nano combat suit that cannot be mass-produced, which already has a three-level civilization level and is only equipped with the most elite Xingtian warriors.

In terms of the navy, two "Tianjing"-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have already formed combat effectiveness, and two of the second batch of "SAR"-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have been launched, namely the "Pengcheng" and the "Tiannan," and two more are under construction.

The "SAR" class aircraft carrier has a standard displacement of 78,560 tons, a full load displacement of 98,540 tons, a total length of 349.5 meters, a flight deck width of 76.6 meters, and is powered by two pressurized water nuclear reactors, second only to the "Nimitz" class and "Ford" class of the Lijian Navy.

The aircraft carrier has a cruising capacity of more than 1 million nautical miles and can carry 84 fighters of various types.

Relying on a powerful power system, the Pengcheng is designed to have a maximum speed of 33.5 knots. During the Navy's acceptance test, the top speed was 34.5 knots, and the light load speed is expected to reach 35 knots.

Because of its abundant power supply, the "Kunlun Mountain" is equipped with five sets of air defense systems and three electromagnetic rapid-fire guns in addition to electromagnetic catapults, becoming the world's first aircraft carrier equipped with electromagnetic rapid-fire guns.

As the main terminal interception method of the aircraft carrier, the maximum rate of fire of the electromagnetic rapid-fire gun is as high as 18,000 rounds per minute, and the rate of fire can be automatically adjusted according to the incoming target, so as to maximize the interception efficiency of the rapid-fire gun.

Its interception efficiency is ten times that of traditional rapid-fire guns, and with an average consumption of thirty shells, it can shoot down an anti-ship missile.

The escort fleet is generally 3 destroyers, 4 frigates, 1 nuclear-powered submarine and 1 integrated supply ship.

Because of the large number of new technologies, the comprehensive combat capability of the "Pengcheng" aircraft carrier has surpassed that of the "Nimitz" class. Comparable to aircraft carriers of the "Ford" class.

Other than that. 10,000-ton Type 055 all-electric destroyer. and brand-new submarines equipped with "superconducting magnetofluid propulsion" have been launched in large numbers.

The two sides of the submarine and the inner shell of the enclosure and rudder are made of the latest high-strength dark blue alloy, which has a bearing capacity more than four times higher than that of the current submarine steel, and the deepest depth can reach less than 1,000 meters.

The hull is covered with an elastic skin made of a special material developed by the Eastern Bloc, which makes the hull almost non-reflective to sonar waves, greatly enhancing its invisibility.

Compared with traditional mechanically rotating thrusters, magnetohydrodynamic thrusters differ in that the former uses mechanical power as thrust, while the latter uses electromagnetic force.

Because of this. The magnetofluid thruster does not need to be equipped with propeller blades, gear transmission mechanisms and shaft pumps, etc., which fundamentally eliminates the vibration and noise caused by mechanical rotation, and is a completely stationary equipment.

The magnetofluid thruster can travel in almost absolute silence and reach speeds of up to 150 knots, which is not possible with any mechanically rotating thruster.

The breakthrough success of the ground-effect aircraft has comprehensively improved the strength of the Wehrmacht Navy, especially the landing combat capability and transportation and supply capability, which almost ranks first in the world.

The Air Force's J-20, J-31, new intelligent UAVs, Y-20 large electric transport aircraft and new large bomber "H-9" have been put into large-scale service.

Galaxy provided a flight simulation training system, which saved the Air Force a lot of money. Moreover, the time for new equipment to form combat effectiveness has been greatly shortened.

The Space Force has been in the limelight for the last year, with the exception of aerospace aircraft and space stations. The "Beidou" satellite system has been upgraded, and its performance has surpassed that of Lijianguo's GPS system.

In the past few years, the Space Force has added a large number of ground-based and space-based early warning, reconnaissance, and surveillance equipment.

It has also improved the space radar network and developed the satellite's guided missile capabilities; It has strengthened the satellite's real-time reconnaissance capability and resolution, established an anti-missile interception system, passed dozens of tests, withstood tests, and has begun to cover the entire territory and become a solid defensive shield.

The space force is mainly composed of three major systems: intelligence and early warning, command and control, and interception and strike.

The command and control system is the nerve center of the space forces, which is responsible for collecting and processing intelligence from the intelligence and early warning system and other services and the information needed for space warfare, organizing all kinds of space warfare weapons to carry out space operations in a timely, accurate, rapid, and coordinated manner, directing the defense of anti-ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, and making overall arrangements for the logistical support of various launch bases.

Another duty of the association is to conduct joint operations with other branches of the armed forces and to provide comprehensive reconnaissance, communications, early warning, navigation, and meteorological support for the other services.

The interception and strike system is the "strong shield and sharp sword" of the Space Force, which not only strikes at enemy space targets, but also selectively destroys the enemy's ground weapon system.

It is composed of various space warfare weapons, which can be divided into land-based, sea-based, air-based, and space-based weapon systems according to their launch positions.

Among them, breakthroughs have been made in the research and development of a large number of space-based equipment, such as air-space fighters, air-space bombers, high-energy laser strike satellites, space kinetic weapons, and space mines.

The air-space fighter is equipped with a light anti-satellite and anti-missile weapon system, which can flexibly attack air and space targets, and the air and space bomber has 20 times the speed of sound, which can carry out global rapid strike missions.

Kinetic weapons are weapons that fire warheads that move at ultra-high speeds to directly destroy targets.

Space mine is a kind of anti-satellite satellite with a combat charge, which is equipped with a detection and guidance device for identifying and tracking targets, has a limited maneuverability to approach the target, and is mainly used to attack satellites and various strategic defense systems deployed in space.

For the Wehrmacht, the possession of the Space Force is equivalent to having a global real-time strike capability, and as long as an order is given, no corner of the world will be attacked immediately.

As a strategic attack force, the Second Artillery Corps has replaced all types of missiles with new brains -- intelligent chips, which have improved their accuracy and anti-jamming capabilities. Significant results were also achieved in the engine, the newly entered service missile, which increased the flight speed and strike range.

The military industry has also undergone a radical transformation, and key breakthroughs have been made in the fields of electromagnetic, laser, intelligence, stealth and other weapons, so that the performance of various equipment has caught up with or even surpassed the world's top level.

This aspect is manifested in arms exports, where last year, Xinhua's share of global arms exports was second only to Hualong and Lijian.

The target of exports is no longer the poor third country in the past, but some developed countries, as well as countries in the Middle East, South America, and Central Asia, where military spending is relatively high.

The commissioning of the aerospace aircraft, the completion of the space power station and the "Tiangong" space station, and the smooth implementation of the lunar landing program have made Xinhua a leader in the aerospace field.

The invention of rare earth nano batteries has made the country prosperous; The realization of controllable nuclear fusion power stations has allowed mankind to see a bright future

All this has made the government and the people feel that their backs have hardened and they have become more confident. (To be continued......)
