Chapter 459: A Sci-fi Dreadnought

PS: A new day, ask for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket!

——————

After a little distressed to point down the construction of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, choose a slipway, and make the final confirmation, Li Lan glanced at the amount of funds that were being reduced at a faster pace, and repeated the sentence in his heart: "Still in the famine class." ”

If this sentence is heard by other heads of state, I am afraid that they will vomit blood with anger. Not to mention anything else, if this base car is obtained by the heads of state of those advanced countries, then what they are worried about is no longer about funds, but when they can stand at the top of the world.

A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, or the use of electromagnetic catapult technology, not to mention the cost of 400 million base funds, even if it is the cost of 1 billion base funds, is completely acceptable.

According to the current capacity of the base to recover funds, the recovery price of 50 tons of refined iron ore is 1550 base funds (25% increase in ore refiners), and the value of 50 tons of iron ore is 4850 US dollars according to the current international price of iron ore, and the price per ton is 97 US dollars. This is the most affordable transaction Li Lan has calculated, and the most beneficial means of turning ore into capital is the most beneficial to himself.

The cost of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is 400 million base funds, and if it is exchanged for the value of iron ore, it is equal to a little more than 1.2 billion dollars. Using $1.2 billion to build an aircraft carrier with a price of up to $7 or $8 billion can make every country in the world go crazy.

In other words, for the price of that aircraft carrier, you can build six or seven aircraft carriers of the same class. If such a powerful side of the base had been acquired by other countries in the world, the aircraft carriers would have been gone all over the place. However, it is impossible for outsiders to know about this kind of thing. Even if it was Lin Meiqi, Li Lan didn't plan to tell her. Because it's the biggest secret of his life. The existence of the base core, with the exception of Natasha and Tanya, will not reach the ears of the fourth person.

If it weren't for such a strong and cheap manufacturing capacity at the base. Li Lan can't get to the point where he is today. A little more than one to three converts the funds of the base, and then sells them dozens or even 100 times the profit, which is the profit from arms sales brought by the base.

To give a very simple example, the cost of a Black Hawk fighter is 800,000 base funds, and the weakness is calculated by three times the cost, which is 2.4 million base funds, and the sale price he determined is 48 million US dollars per aircraft, which is 20 times the profit. In the future, the purchaser will have to pay for the training. The maintenance and replacement of fighter parts and components all need to come to Li Lan to buy, which is also an extremely objective profit.

The price of a V-1DD medium-range ballistic missile is only 20,000 yuan of base funds, and if you convert it, it is only more than 60,000 US dollars a piece, and if such a missile is sold, it will cost at least more than 20 million US dollars a piece, and the profit will be more than 300 times.

According to Tanya's words, that is after this war. Li Lan is really going to get rich. There will be too many people who will look at Somalia's military equipment, after all, in actual combat, it can fight a tough opponent like the US military, and how many countries can endure it?

Future Technology Group's customer service system already has a lot of new customers activating accounts and binding bank cards. And they have also placed some relatively small orders. Many of these clients have asked to come to Somalia in person.

Li Lan has only one answer to the prospect of good arms sales in the future, and the small orders will be decided by herself. When I am busy with large orders, I will determine the time for negotiation.

This is not a bully of other stores, but according to their own needs. Small orders are not worth much, and there are multi-million dollar deals. At most, it is one or two hundred million, and these things can be handed over to the Future Technology Group to deal with. If the total price of those orders is very high, they also hope to find a time to talk in person, after all, face-to-face conversations are more reliable. During this period, it will also involve some national political matters, and it is too hasty to rely on a software for the first transaction. How to enhance the feeling, promote the relationship, and see if you can get a discount or something.

At present, Li Lan's main goal is to focus on the big countries, and for those relatively small customers, the time will naturally be postponed, and it is also necessary to show a normal appearance, so as not to show too enthusiasm and be mistaken by the other party for the fact that he attaches great importance to it.

At present, the above is still far from Li Lan's current work plan.

Once he decided to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, he set his sights on another warship that had never been built before, the Senseless-class warship.

Compared with the constraints of the air force, the base has a fairly comprehensive range of weapons and equipment in terms of the navy and the army. The Senseless-class battleship, as the ultimate maritime weapon of the Soviet camp in the Red Alert series, has two missile launchers in the game, and is definitely a powerful weapon for land attacks. Once the air defense facilities are destroyed, or the power is cut off, it will cause great damage to buildings on land.

As long as three dreadnoughts, in the case of the opponent's power outage for ten seconds, they can give the opponent an extremely heavy blow, and it is not impossible to end the game. Of course, the premise of this is that the opponent's building must be within range. However, there are also a lot of limitations to how the Needless Ship can be used in-game, and not everyone likes to use it.

In reality, the dreadnoughts given by the base are very sci-fi, and if you have to use one word to describe it, it is sci-fi. Compared with the US military's DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyers, it is not too much. It is also full of science fiction.

Senseless-class ships:

The main surface combat ship of the Navy, the construction price - 150 million, the construction time - one year. (625,000 consumed per day)

Description: This is an extremely advanced surface combat ship, with a super sci-fi strong stealth appearance, capable of absorbing arbitrary radar waves. The attack firepower is extremely strong, and it can fight alone in the ocean.

Simple data: full load displacement of 17,000 tons, maximum speed of 33 knots, two 155-mm 62-diameter advanced stealth naval artillery systems, two 57-mm near-mortar systems, two anti-submarine helicopters, forty side-by-side quadruple vertical missile launchers. Only 128 people were needed.

Configuration: X-frequency multi-function phased array radar, integrated photoelectric detection, emission control system. Integrated dual-frequency active and passive bow sonar, lightweight wide-frequency variable depth sonar. Multifunctional towed array sonar, integrated defense system, naval ground-to-ground weapon control system, integrated underwater combat system.

Special note: After the technical skills reach the standard, the naval gun system can be replaced with an electromagnetic gun system.

Suggestion: There's nothing to say, it's an offense.

Senseless-class warships, Li Lan often turned them out to look at them, and often compared the appearance of the U.S. military's Zumwalt renderings with them.

The Dreadnought also has advanced technologies such as the wave-piercing gunwald hull, the vertical launch system around the hull, the integrated composite ship island and aperture, the infrared model, the integrated electric propulsion, the dual-band radar, the integrated underwater combat system, the advanced naval gun system, the common computing environment on the ship, and the automatic fire suppression system. At the same time, the Senseless class is only a first-class warship. There are two more levels in the back. According to the characteristics of the base's weapon level, the latter two levels are definitely more advanced than the previous one.

If you compare the appearance, the Senseless class battleship also looks more distinctive than Zumwalt, first of all, it does not have many bulges on the Zumwalt bridge, but all the integrated electronic equipment is completely accommodated into the bridge material, tightly fitted, without the slightest protrusion.

Compared to Zumwalt's single bridge structure, the Senseless class bridge is a towering giant conical structure that incorporates a long-range phased array radar system. Due to the increase in the height of the radar, the center of gravity of the hull was also too high, and the result was that the Senseless class had a displacement of two thousand tons higher than that of Zumwalt, and the displacement increased in the width of the hull. The number of vertical generating devices has also been increased.

The effect has been mixed, but the advantage is that the radar has risen in altitude and can detect at least forty nautical miles farther than Zumwalt. The disadvantage is that the hull is slightly bloated, and in the process of sharp turns. Not as flexible as Zumwalt. In terms of stealth, the Senseless class is no worse than Zumwalt.

In terms of power. Both warships use integrated electric propulsion, also known as all-electric propulsion (IEP), in which the power of the main engine is converted into electricity through generators, and then supplied to all secondary systems on board through power distribution facilities. The propulsion system under the IEP architecture is the electric motor used to drive the thruster, which is regarded as a draft load in the system, and is no longer directly driven by the main engine through the transmission gear. Thanks to the significant advancement in power management and distribution technology, under the integrated electric propulsion system, the AC power generated by the main generator can be distributed directly through the management system through the transformer voltage to all different loads, instead of being supplied separately or converted to DC in the past.

Through the control of the modern computerized power distribution transmission and distribution control system, the integrated electric propulsion system can arbitrarily adjust the power distribution of all systems on the ship at any time; For example, at some point, when some systems do not need to operate at full power, some of the main engine can be switched off or power can be transferred to other systems. By precisely regulating the electrical load, ships equipped with an integrated electric propulsion system are able to control the engines to operate at optimal fuel rates.

If the navy adopts the integrated electric propulsion system, it can save 10~25% of fuel consumption and reduce logistics maintenance costs by 15~19% compared with traditional mechanical systems. With the adoption of the all-electric system, the lack of power of the air conditioning on the ship in the past will not be repeated, and the electronic system can also obtain more power.

In addition, for equipment that requires instantaneous high power output and even high energy density pulse power supply, such as electromagnetic guns, laser guns, etc., the integrated power system also provides better setting conditions, which can meet the needs of such high-power new systems without drastically changing the usual power consumption. Power generation, control, transmission and distribution systems can also be easily designed into modular, so that various types of ships with different functions and tonnage of the fleet can use the same series of modules, so that the logistics components and system standards can be unified as much as possible, unlike in the past, every time a ship is designed, a set of propulsion transmission and power supply systems often have to be redesigned.

In terms of advancement, the Senseless-class battleship is the highest embodiment of the Red Alert weapon unit in the entire base, and it is not inferior to any warship in the whole world in terms of stealth performance or attack power. Even the Russian nuclear-powered cruiser, the Peter the Great, known as an arsenal ship, is not weaker than it at all.

However, such an advanced and expensive warship should be given an independent combat mission. Or it is not impossible to take the lead and form a fully stealth fleet. After all, the ships of the Red Alert Navy unit all have the same characteristic, that is, they are fully stealthy.

Combined with the Needless level, the stealth effect of the Needless level will not be wasted.

Like a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Li Lan was also deterred by this price at the beginning, and the value that such a warship can play will also be very weak. Therefore, he directly chose several more Aegis ships and destroyers to increase combat effectiveness.

Now, this situation has changed, and when he came to the base console today, he chose to build two conventionally powered submarines, an attack nuclear submarine, and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and the construction of these four ships at the same time alone would cost 1.68 million base funds per day.

If you add in the construction of the vehicles that have already been determined, the amount of base funds that need to be consumed per day has reached two million per day. However, he did not stop, he had been waiting for two years for this sci-fi warship in front of him, and in the strategic plan for the development of the navy, he decided to build at least three such warships in the next five years, and if the funds allowed, it would be one after another.

In addition to taking into account the needless combat effectiveness, this kind of construction plan is also intended to create pressure on the United States. After consuming 625,000 base funds every day, he can join the navy in eight months, and he can afford this price.

At present, the number of Zumwalt ships in the United States has been reduced to three because of the cost of the project, and Li Lan will not let the United States back down like this, and when the time comes, as long as he takes out a few useless ships, he will see if the United States can still sit still. When the powerful arms race during the Cold War led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Li Lan also wanted to push the United States into a desperate situation step by step.

As a matter of fact, Li Lan has already begun to plan to fight hard with the United States in his future naval strategy, otherwise he would not have raised the daily expenditure of combat vehicles and ships to the level of more than 2.6 million yuan in one go. Compared with the original construction of the navy, the consumption of this naval construction is even greater. And the number is two or three times less, that is, the price ratio has made him only now have the ability to build these expensive naval units.

However, compared with the price of base construction, once the United States can no longer sit still and starts to build the same number of warships with Li Lan, then the military expenditure that the United States needs to invest will be even greater. In order to maintain its global military superiority, the United States has no way to do so, because once it is unable to maintain the technological advancement of its weapons and equipment, it must strive to be inferior in numbers to its competitors in order to maintain the strength of its global navy.

Once this arms race is in place, it will be very difficult to break free. (To be continued......)
