Chapter 48

Wang Yizhe did not blame the rudeness of the sentry arranged by Zhao Heng, but arched his hand and said: "Please redeem me, I don't know that Your Excellency's honorable name is added to that army?" Zhao Zhenfan didn't speak, but observed the very strange giant in front of him.

"Below is Zhao Heng, the operational commander of the China Socialist Unification League, abbreviated as the China Social League, with the rank of colonel, and my deputy, Deputy Commander Tang Lina, is not here. I think Chief of Staff Zhao should know. Zhao Heng replied with a standard military salute.

Zhao Heng didn't wait for the two of them to reply, but smiled: "Since the two of you are here, let's talk about this arsenal here." "Beckon your men to go out and bring the door to the room. After receiving this order, the clones left the house one by one, and closed the room by the way, and several clones stood guard outside the door. No one knows what the people in this house are talking about or negotiating. Afterwards, the people from the house were silent about the matter after they went out.

'Phew, it's not as easy as you might think. The two sides talked for two hours and ended at about 16 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Heng left the room under the pretext of having something to do after the negotiation, and then took the B-TR90 outside the factory gate to go to the warning area deployed by himself outside the city. And Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan were guests in the arsenal. The Northeast Army, which followed, guarded the arsenal with the clones guarding the factory under the orders of Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe.

"Well, what the hell are you going to use to pull those things?" Zhao Heng had a headache at this time what kind of machine was used to pull the things in the factory. As if his brain had slipped over something, Zhao Heng immediately opened the system mall and began to look for very suitable carriers one by one, and the result really made him find:

The first thing is actually the famous Dongfanghong-54 tractor! The tractor is based on the 'Stalin' type crawler tractor named after the Iron Uncle produced by the International Tractor Factory for Shovel. Length 3660 mm, width 1865 mm, height 2300 mm, ground clearance 260 mm. Equipped with an A.E-54 four-cylinder four-stroke water-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 54 horsepower, a rated speed of 1300 rpm, a cylinder diameter of 125 mm, a piston stroke of 152 mm, a compression ratio of 16:1, and a maximum traction of 2850 kg. There are five forward gears and one reverse gear, with a minimum speed of 3.59 km/h and a maximum speed of 7.9 km/h. Empty weight 5100 kg, service weight 5400 kg. This tractor can cultivate 8 hectares of land per day, which is more than forty times more efficient than cattle ploughing, and the purchase of energy points: 300, the cost of modification depends on the modification situation. Zhao Heng scoffed at this tractor, except for the kind of power that can pull the 203 mm BR4 tracked self-propelled gun, it can't pull the Meiji 45 240 mm heavy howitzer with a total weight of 38 tons, let alone the more than 10 240 mm gun barrels with a total length of about 3.9 meters. This thing can pull a cannon that is not too heavy at that time, and it is not bad.

The second thing turned out to be a bigger one: the giant crawling transport plane 'Creeper' produced by the United States imperialism was built by Marion Excavator Company in Marion, Ohio, with a chassis length of 39.92 meters, a width of 34.44 meters, and a height of 6.09-7.92 meters.

The Creeper is much larger than the shovel in the Kentucky coal mines, making it the largest transporter in the world. It is a box-like rectangular steel structure, 41.2 meters long, 34.7 meters wide, 6.1 meters high, with a dead weight of 2,722 tons, plus rockets, spacecraft, launch racks and launch platforms, with a total weight of more than 8,100 tons.

It has two cabs installed in a diagonal position, one front and one behind, so that it can be opened front and rear. The cab is equipped with monitoring instruments, operational control equipment, electronics, as well as the world's largest rain and snow wiper and the slowest speed meter. Only a specially treated road surface can withstand this behemoth with a weight of 2,750 tons, and each of the four corners of the "Creeper" has a "big foot" - four tracked vehicles with a length of 12.6 meters and a width of 7.3 meters. Each "big foot" is "worn" with two "iron shoes" - two 2.3-meter-long tracks, each consisting of 57 steel chains, each weighing one ton. Each "foot" can be rotated around a huge conduit to change direction and allow the "creeper" to complete a 152-meter radius at a speed of 10 degrees per minute. Each "foot" has a hydraulic jack on it, which can lift 6,000 tons of weight by 1 meter through computer control. With an engine mounted at one end of the steel chain and a set of speed control, the four "feet" provide the "Creeper" with three crawling speeds: 3.2 km/h when unloaded, 1.6 km/h when loaded, and 0.8 km/h when climbing the launch pad at a 5-degree slope.

The road also had to ensure that the metal tracks would not spark when they rolled over (the consequences of a spark in the event of a spark in the rocket fuel). These giant tracks consist of 456 steel track shoes 2.28 m long and 0.45 m wide, each weighing 1.1 tons. Driven by 16 traction electric motors, the electricity used comes from four 2050 kW generators 16V-A.l.co 1000 kW powered by diesel engines. With so much power, they should be going fast, right?

But in fact, it took six hours for this crawling transport aircraft to "climb" from the assembly shop to the launch tower. They have a top speed of only 1.6 km/h when loaded and 3.2 km/h when unladen. When in use, they consume 295.6 litres of diesel per kilometre. In other words, each liter of diesel can only propel them forward by 3.38 meters. These guys are huge, but their control systems are sophisticated. The two transport aircraft are laser-guided and are able to control the inclination angle of the rocket, which is several tens of meters high, within one-sixth of a degree by means of a set of hydraulic jacks. The last upgrade was in 2003. After the completion of the current upgrade work, the carrying capacity of Transport Aircraft 2 will be increased from 6,000 tons to 9,000 tons, which were determined at the time of the Space Shuttle project. The 1,500-kilowatt diesel engine, manufactured by Minnesota Cummins, was delivered last December and will replace the old engine that has been in use since the Apollo program. Twenty technicians began the upgrade in February this year, using a giant overhead crane in the assembly hall to replace the transporter's engine. In addition to the new engines, the aircraft will have 16 new jacks with more powerful performance, new roller bushings and roller shafts, and an upgraded set of power system components. In addition, the upgrade project included the replacement of old cables, cab control system, new power control system, modern programmable logic controller, new instrumentation system, track lubrication system, hydraulic valves and hydraulic lines. This thing is used to transport the space shuttle to the launch tower. Just convert the middle into a cargo compartment of the same size, and replace all the engines with special models of ultra-high-power Tesla reactors, just think about how great it would be to transport tens of thousands of tons of supplies to another place on the plains.
