Entering 2020, the National Defense Force plans to expand its military to 5 million, mainly by increasing the establishment of the Air Force, Space Force, Missile Forces, Rapid Reaction Forces and Coastal Guard Units.

At the same time, Xinhua implemented a wartime economic system, all resources were tilted towards the army and coastal defense construction, and the relevant factories were operating at full capacity.

The purpose of the military expansion is not only to deal with the sea monster crisis, but also to alleviate the domestic unemployment pressure, economic recession, social unrest and other problems, anyway, Xinhua is now financially sufficient.

At present, the number of military aircraft of the national defense force has reached 17,000, far exceeding the army of the country of Lijian, which has suffered heavy losses, and 45% of them are new models that have only been put into service in the last three years, and the technology is very advanced, and a few models have even reached the peak level of the second-level civilization.

Such a huge fleet of aircraft enabled the Wehrmacht to mobilize hundreds of large electric transport planes and make thousands of sorties in a single day to airlift more than 50,000 officers and men of a group army and all their equipment to tens of thousands of miles away.

……

In today's global logistics and transportation, affected by the sea monster crisis, global shipping is almost paralyzed, and a small number of ships that are still at sea are only sailing in offshore waters.

Tempted by high profits, the crew goes to sea at the risk of being attacked by a sea monster, and every voyage feels like going to war, and there is a good chance that they will never return.

The share of land transport and air transport has been greatly improved, and land transport is limited by roads, and it is difficult to see immediate results in a short period of time; However, Xinhua's air transport has developed explosively, more than doubling.

With advances in batteries, new materials, and aerospace technology. Xinhua became the third country in the world to have the ability to develop large transport aircraft after Lijian and Rakshasa countries, and surpassed the two countries in one fell swoop. It became a new aviation power.

Large transport aircraft generally refer to transport aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of more than 100 tons and less than 200 tons, and transport aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of more than 200 tons are called super-large transport aircraft.

At the beginning of last year, Kyushu Aviation Manufacturing Company became a test flight of a Y-24 "Kunpeng" super large transport aircraft, which has a wingspan of 91.80 meters, a length of 86.50 meters, and a height of 19.40 meters. It has a cruising speed of 800 km/h. The maximum range is more than 20,000 km.

Because of the more concise state-of-the-art electric system and the extensive use of new aeronautical materials, it has a maximum load capacity of more than 380 tons. But the maximum take-off weight is only 660 tons.

With the advent of the "Kunpeng", it surpassed the An-225 "Dream" super large transport aircraft and became the largest aircraft in the world.

Xinhuaguo first opened up air traffic control, and then fully supported the development of related industries. It has given the aviation industry wings to take off.

From the point of view of transport capacity. Air freight is much lower than that of rail and sea, and the carrying capacity of an airplane is not as large as that of dozens of carriages and large transport ships.

But in terms of transportation speed, air freight is definitely the first.

If the cost of air transportation can be greatly reduced through technological innovation, it is not a delusion that air transportation can replace rail and sea transportation.

In the case of internal or external combustion engines, even the most advanced engines, the cost of air freight is ten times that of rail and twenty times that of sea freight. Moreover, the cost of large transport aircraft far exceeds that of locomotives and large transport ships.

Affected by this. The main value of air freight is in speed, which can only undertake urgent and rapid transportation tasks, and the large-scale transportation capacity is very limited.

Rare earth nanobatteries, which have an energy density that exceeds those of fuel, solve this problem.

First of all, the price of electricity is much lower than that of fossil fuels in terms of air consumption, and since Dongfang Energy conquered the technology of controlled fusion nuclear power plants, electricity has almost no cost.

A large transport plane flying back and forth on a 5,000-kilometer route will burn 70 tons of fuel, and the cost of this alone will be as high as hundreds of thousands of yuan.

If electricity is used, this cost can be reduced by more than 90 percent.

Secondly, in terms of platform costs, electric conveyors also have obvious advantages.

Not to mention anything else, the engine accounts for 30 percent of the ex-factory price of a four-engine large transport aircraft, while the price of a high-power permanent magnet motor is less than a quarter of that of a large turbine engine.

In addition, the maintenance cost of the electric motor is very low.

For example, the service life of large turbine engines is about 10,000 hours, and the better quality can reach 20,000 hours.

The design life of the fuselage of large transport aircraft is more than 50,000 hours, so a large transport aircraft often needs to provide three sets of power systems during its service life.

The service life of permanent magnet motors is generally more than 100,000 hours, and the motors using new materials can even reach 250,000 hours, and can be dismantled and maintained for life.

Combining these factors, the overall efficiency ratio of electric systems is several times that of turbine engines, and the efficiency ratio of large aerial platforms can be increased by more than two times.

Of course, electric aircraft use a propeller power system, and the biggest disadvantage is speed.

But even the slowest plane is faster than a ship.

By 2020, the number of passenger aircraft in Xinhuaguo reached more than 10,000, an increase of more than 7,000 from three years ago.

Because of the ultra-low-cost operation of electric aircraft, the air ticket price has been greatly reduced, which is completely within the affordability of ordinary people.

Airports have been built in various parts of the country in recent years, and every larger county or city has an airport.

Now most Xinhua people as long as they go far away, the first choice is to take a plane, and traveling by plane is no longer as tall as before.

The number of cargo transport aircraft has exceeded 33,000, more than three times more than three years ago.

Most of these aircraft were added after the invention of new batteries, and more than 70% of them were manufactured by Kyushu Aviation Manufacturing and Galaxy Aviation Manufacturing.

Only the fully automatic production lines of these two aviation manufacturing enterprises, which can produce 24 hours a day, will burst out such a terrifying production capacity, producing tens of thousands of aircraft of various types in three years.

These planes travel to and from countries in large numbers every day, transporting passengers and huge amounts of cargo.

If Lijian is a "country on wheels", then at today's speed of development, it will not take a few years for Xinhua to call itself a "country on aircraft tires".

Other countries do not have advanced technologies such as high-performance batteries, except for imported batteries or pure electric aircraft, so they have found another way to develop airship transportation.

The invention of airships predates airplanes, and it was once prosperous during World War I, but after the maturity of aircraft technology, it soon gave way to the mainstream in military and transportation due to slow speed and many accidents.

Under the pressure of the paralysis of shipping, many countries have refocused on airships, especially the progress of defense materials and architecture technology, which has greatly improved the safety of airships.

Compared to sea transportation, the slow speed of the airship is not a disadvantage.

Large airships, which are mainly hybrid airships and new-concept airships, still have many unique advantages compared to ordinary aircraft.

For example, low energy consumption, low noise, large load capacity, long endurance, stable flight, low cost, low technical threshold, flexible deployment and no need for a dedicated airport, etc., the new airship can completely replace helicopters, transport aircraft and other considerable market share.
