Chapter 390: Whirlwind-100 and Engineering Mecha

"Commander Xu, how's the situation going?"

Tianming walked quickly to Xu Guoyuan's side and asked.

"The situation is very urgent, Xiao Xu, the country needs your help!"

After the earthquake, the first thing to solve was the transportation problem, but now the traffic in the eight counties has collapsed, becoming eight land "islands", and air relief personnel and materials are the best solution.

At present, the state has urgently mobilized more than 100 transport planes to participate in the transportation of personnel and equipment, including 60 large strategic transport planes, of which 48 are Y-20 ...... that have just been put into active service in recent years Combined, these air transport capacities were able to deliver more than 70,000 troops from six formed divisions to the disaster area within 36 hours.

In addition, helicopters play a greater role in earthquake relief than large transport aircraft, it does not need a long runway, can be parked anywhere, transport the wounded, materials are very effective, the country has mobilized 80 helicopters to rush to the disaster area, the implementation of rescue.

"Why are there so few helicopters?"

"The earthquake occurred in the plateau area, with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters, the air pressure is 70% of the plain area, and the height of some mountains exceeds 5,000 meters...... The number of transport helicopters that our country currently has that can adapt to the plateau environment does not exceed 150. ”

Tianming is puzzled, hasn't the country already solved the engine problem? Last time, it was said that a new helicopter capable of carrying 25 tons of heavy goods was manufactured, and the test flight was successful, so why not take it out and use it?

"It takes a while for the equipment to be developed and put into practical use, and it will take a while to establish a production line for mass production, we have solved the problem of the engine, but it is impossible to produce hundreds of helicopters immediately, the time for us to make a breakthrough is too short, and the earthquake came too suddenly."

Tianming came to the base the year before last. The time to come adds up to no more than one and a half years, in this year and a half, the country has made a huge breakthrough in the field of high-precision, but to transform into specific production capacity and products, it will take a while, take the Y-20 large transport aircraft as an example, although Tianming has helped them produce hundreds of engines, but now the number of Y-20 in service is less than 50.

From this, it can be seen that the military strength of country H seems to be very strong. However, at the critical moment, the problem of insufficient accumulation was immediately exposed, thus revealing a kind of true appearance that seemed to be big and real.

"What help does the state need from me?"

"It's the 60 Whirlwind-100 helicopters that the country helped you assemble last time, you quickly bring these helicopters from Blue Mercury, which will be of great use for disaster relief!"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

……

Blue Mercury, a bay.

The 60 Tornado-100 helicopters were assembled more than a month ago and placed in the hangar of the Nuanchun and Zhiqiu aerospace aircraft carriers, and Tianming put these helicopters into the alien space. Then he summoned all the pilots who could fly such helicopters and told them what was going on outside.

"An 8.1 magnitude earthquake?" Wang Hui, the pilot who stayed behind in Blue Mercury, was shocked, how many people had to die here?

"Commander, take us out. A second of delay will kill a lot of people. ”

Returning to the base with the helicopter and pilots, Tianming hurriedly put another group of pilots who had returned to the base into the ability space, and then left the base. Went to a military base less than 300 kilometers from Jinxi County, where there is a large airfield that can park 60 Tornado-100 helicopters.

There were about 260 pilots. But those who can operate the Tornado-100 helicopter, only more than 80 people who have worked in Blue Mercury, the others are pilots in the base, they have never driven the Whirlwind-100, Tianming brought them here so that they can learn to fly this helicopter in a short time. Because a Tornado-100 requires at least 4 crew members to operate safely, the 80 people on the Blue Mercury can only control 20 aircraft.

The fuel used for the Tornado-100 is hydrogen, and it is no problem to use kerosene or diesel, as long as it can be burned, Tianming brought several fuel tanks from the base at one time, and there are 7,8000 tons of various types of fuel in them, enough for these helicopters to use thousands of sorties.

……

Back at the base, Commander Xu gave Tianming another task: to make engineering mechas.

Mecha Research Institute.

Commander Xu pointed to a mecha about 5 meters high in the warehouse and said to Tianming:

"Xiaoxu, after the earthquake, in order to rescue the survivors buried in the ruins, our soldiers used tools such as sapper shovels, steel bars, and hydraulic tongs, which were planed by hand, which was inefficient and extremely simple, sometimes a company of soldiers worked for three days and three nights, and there was no time to sleep, and after the survivors were dug out, there were still many people who died because the rescue time was too long and they couldn't hold on."

The Tangshan earthquake in 76 and the Wenchuan earthquake in 07 buried under the rubble of the building have more than thousands of survivors, but less than 10% have been successfully rescued, and most of them have either not been found or found too late, once the 72-hour golden rescue period has passed, basically the probability of survival has become very small.

Commander Xu rubbed twice on the black shell of the mecha and said: "This mecha is an engineering mecha specially developed by us for earthquake relief, and at the end of its two mechanical arms, there are flat and hard mechanical fingers, which can be as flexible as a human hand, and can move, chisel, and break things, and some cement blocks weighing more than 5 tons or 10 tons can also be easily moved, and the disaster relief efficiency of an engineering mecha is equal to that of a battalion of soldiers." ”

The number of soldiers in a battalion of 33 is about 400 people, and one engineering mecha is equal to 400 soldiers.

"This mecha is so good, why don't you take it out and use it?"

Tianming doesn't understand, why does the country always like to hide and tuck good things, as if they can't see the light, afraid of being stolen or what?

Ouyang Director of the Mecha Research Institute said with a wry smile: "We also want to take it out and use it, but this engineering mecha is too bulky, more than 60 tons, it is difficult to transport it, and the technical level of the mecha is very low-level, it can only be driven by a cylinder engine, a tank of gasoline can't even burn for half an hour, and the fly-by-wire device is very outdated." It's far inferior to the 'Gonggong Type III' mecha that we have recently developed, so I'll take you to see it. ”

Gonggong is the god of water in the myths and legends of country H, with infinite strength, and in a fit of anger he knocked down the Buzhou Mountain that supported the heavens and the earth.

Gonggong III mecha is a mecha used for war purposes, 3.5 meters high, weighing 6.5 tons, controlled by fly-by-wire, using nuclear fuel cells, and can last more than 70 hours.

Director Ouyang sighed: "If the disaster is relieved." This mecha is the most suitable, but it is too light and small, and it is full of weapon systems, and it must be modified to develop an engineering mech suitable for disaster relief. ”

"What's the point? Just let me modify it. ”

Tianming knew what Commander Xu and Director Ouyang meant, and originally wanted to ask him to help modify the mecha, just say no, this is a big circle.

Director Ouyang coughed twice in embarrassment and explained, "This Xiaoxu. Engineering mecha first requires that the body size is large enough, at least more than 6 meters, the bigger the better, and the other is some load-bearing components. If you use ordinary materials, it is easy to cause metal fatigue, because it is too heavy, and the weight of tens of tons acts on some thumb-sized parts for a long time. Even high-strength titanium alloys can't stand it...... And silver steel can withstand this pressure for a long time, so we also want you to provide more silver steel. ”

"The mecha is all made of silver steel, okay?"

"Ahem...... Okay, totally! ”

……

In order to speed up the development of engineering mechas. Tianming took a group of people and equipment to Blue Mercury.

Two days later, according to the style of the engineering mecha I saw before, after endless imitation and improvement, with the help of hundreds of engineers, a new engineering mecha was manufactured.

Engineering mecha model name: Rescue Angel

Height: 7.2 meters

Weight: 32 tons

Mode of control: Telex

Driver: 1

Propulsion system: nuclear power

Work tools: robotic arm (flat sharpened palm), a 15KW laser gun

Sustainable working hours: more than 100 hours

The two days of Blue Mercury are almost equal to the past day of the earth, and the engineering mecha has only built one, which does not play much role at all. Tianming must make more engineering mechs in a short period of time.

He didn't care about the huge consumption of divine consciousness, and directly used the two abilities of "creation" and "copying", and in a short period of time, he created 100 "Rescue Angel" engineering mechas.

To create a "Rescue Angel", it will probably consume 10,000 magazines of divine awareness, and Tianming's own divine consciousness can only make 60 units at one time, and the other 40 units, he asked nearly 6 million Blue Star people to make a temporary prayer and transmit the divine consciousness he needs, which ensured that the task of 100 units was completed.

The next step is training, and all the soldiers in the base who have experience in driving mechas, tanks, vehicles and other equipment have all been brought over by Tianming, and there are thousands of people.

Among the more than 1,000 soldiers, the first batch of 200 soldiers were selected for 10 hours of short-term mecha driving training, and after the training, Tianming made another 100 engineering mechas, and then took 200 mechs and 200 soldiers out, and immediately rushed to the disaster area to participate in earthquake relief.

……

The Nuanchun Aerospace Aircraft Carrier, in the empty hangar, the lights are as bright as day.

The weather was cold, and the fiery training drove away the biting cold.

Zhang Yu quickly boarded an engineering mecha and manipulated the behemoth forward, backward, bent over, and moved things...... Since it was his first operation, his movements were very clumsy, and several times due to the unstable center of gravity, the mech almost fell to the ground.

"Bump!" A mecha next to him fell, hitting the ground with a loud click, and the instructor held a loudspeaker and scolded angrily: "Get up, if you can't drive, let me come!" ”

"Zhang Yu, hurry up."

"Yes!" Zhang Yu clenched the operating lever with both hands, his eyes flashed with light, the people in the disaster area are in danger, I, I will definitely be able to!
