Chapter 472: Two Battlefields (End)

The group's footsteps were fast, and it didn't take long for them to enter a dry dock.

The Severodvinsk military port is located in the Arctic Circle, and the winters are particularly cold and long, with severe cold and heavy snowfall affecting the shipyard's production.

For this reason, most of the dry docks at the Severodvinsk shipyard are indoor docks with steel roofs.

The dry dock that Sun Cheng and the others came to was an indoor dock.

Some of the things that have been renovated here are all the same, and the equipment in the original dockyard has been dismantled and cleaned up a long time ago.

The Decepticon engineer who now runs the shipyard obviously doesn't like the dockyard, and the equipment that has been in use since the seventies and eighties and has only been updated in small quantities during this period has been packed up and sent to the cargo ship shortly after taking over the shipyard, so that Surprise himself picked up cheap hairs and shipped them away.

After dismantling the old equipment in the dockyard, this indoor dock, like several other docks in the shipyard, has been renovated to become one of the sub-base processing plants.

Should it be said that it is really worthy of being transformed by the Decepticons?

Because Sun Cheng was too lazy to ask about such a trivial matter, the dock has now been transformed into a science fiction color, from the original steel frame structure to the walls and ground in the dock, all replaced with a new alloy, ordinary shells and explosions, can not cause much damage to the dock at all.

Sun Cheng did feel a little wasteful at first, but after watching it for a long time, he is now completely used to it.

As he learned more about the Decepticons and the Autobots, he roughly understood why.

Cybertron is a planet rich in metals, which is why the Cybertrons, whether Autobots or Decepticons, have a lot of metal in their buildings.

Iron ore has good reserves on earth, and even more in the universe.

This is a common and extremely abundant metal ore, [Skyfire] memory, Cybertron still had an iron satellite only slightly smaller than the moon in the early years, but during the Senate period, with Cybertron's external expansion, it has been completely excavated, and the last wreckage has also left some craters on the planet Cybertron with the meteor shower that lasted for several years.

As soon as they entered the dock, the group soon saw five chariots lined up neatly in the dock.

On the wall on the side of the dock, there were also dozens of long ammunition boxes stacked together.

After Sun Cheng waited for [Colonel Vasilyevich] and the others to enter the dock, he only took a few steps to a chariot, stretched out his hand and gently patted the chariots that were not yet at the height of his waist, and took the initiative to introduce them.

"Colonel, the last time your country proposed, I hope that we can design an electromagnetic artillery shell that can be compatible with this self-propelled rocket launcher on the basis of your country's [BM-30 self-propelled rocket launcher]...... Through the efforts of my engineers, the design has been successfully ......"

"Colonel, look over here!"

The blue light in Sun Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, and a heavy handling robot on the side stepped forward to lift a heavy long ammunition box, walked quickly in front of them, and then lightly placed it on the open space.

[BM-30 self-propelled rocket launcher] is a follow-up improvement designed by the former Soviet Union's [Alloy Precision Instrument Design Bureau] in the eighties of the last century after summarizing the shortcomings of [BM-21 rocket artillery], and it is the largest caliber rocket artillery currently equipped in Russia, and has also been exported to many countries.

Although since the beginning of the 21st century, Russia has gradually overtaken its former disciples in the field of rocket artillery, but the [BM-30 self-propelled rocket launcher] is still regarded as one of the most powerful and advanced rocket launchers on the planet today.

From the former Soviet Union to Russia, a variety of rockets have been designed on the [BM-30] weapon platform, such as 9M55K fragmentation warhead, 9M55K1 submunition, 9M55K4 anti-tank mine-laying projectile, 9M55K5 conical charge fragmentation projectile, 9M55F detachable explosive fragmentation projectile, 9M55S incendiary air projectile and 9M528 explosive fragmentation projectile.

Mao Zi has always been very satisfied with his self-propelled rocket launcher, and their Tornado system is still one of the best 'salvo rocket systems'.

However, when the Autobots invaded Severodvinsk, although the Russian army finally repelled the invaders, because they could not leave a single invader, the Russian army conducted a detailed inventory that lasted for more than a month after the war.

Based on satellite imagery and field surveys, they came to a conclusion that made Moscow sleep.

Once the Russian army starts a full-scale war with mechanical life, the heavy firepower of the squad and platoon level equipped by its own side will almost no threat to mechanical life.

Although the heavy firepower of the land and air equipped by the Russian army can severely damage mechanical life, the accuracy of missiles, artillery or rockets is not enough.

Mechanical beings are not rigid robots, and they will constantly use their speed to dodge attacks during combat, as evidenced by the Autobots who tried to invade Severodvinsk.

More than ninety percent of the missiles fired by Russian fighters and the shells and rockets fired by heavy artillery and rocket artillery in the rear missed.

Unable to accurately hit the Autobots, the blast wave and shell fragments did not cause as much damage to the surface armor of the Autobots' body as much as humans.

After the report of the post-war investigation of the Russian army was sent to Moscow, it completely shook the Kremlin.

Along with this report, there was also a test report on some of the electromagnetic weapons that the Russian army had purchased from Sun Cheng.

The weapons test experts of the Russian army were pleasantly surprised to find that although these electromagnetic weapons are expensive, they are really powerful.

Those electromagnetic weapons were specially selected by Sun Cheng to trade with Moscow, and the issue of practicality was not considered from the beginning, and they were all built as powerful as possible, so there were many problems.

For example, the Russian army discovered after the test that the batch of electromagnetic weapons he took out and traded, covering a minimum area of three to five square kilometers, and the power is comparable to a small tactical nuclear warhead, which can cause a devastating blow to the electronic equipment in all weapons, but it is not too harmful to the human body.

As a result, Mao Zi became more interested in electromagnetic weapons.

Because the electromagnetic weapons purchased before were expensive and powerful, the Russian army sent all the rest to weapons research institutions in various places except for the invasion of mechanical life except for leaving part of the embankment, trying to derive the relevant manufacturing technology in reverse.

Originally, they studied step by step, but they were four or five years apart, and they really couldn't figure out something.

However, after the change of president of Russia last year, their iron-fisted president Vladimir made it clear in an interview with Western media that he would not violate the constitution to run for president again, and NATO began to play small tricks.

Georgia has continuously sent troops to stir up trouble along the border with South Ossetia, killing a few patrol soldiers today, blowing up sentry posts tomorrow, and shelling across the border the day after tomorrow.

Seeing that something is about to happen in the Caucasus, Moscow can't sit still, and they can't be sure whether NATO just wants to test its own reality in South Ossetia, or whether it is ready to touch Moscow's bottom line.

The former is not enough, at most it is enough to defeat Georgia's arrogance.

But if it's the latter, then Moscow will have to be prepared.

As for the concessions, Moscow has not thought about it at all.

The mastermind of the war against Georgia is none other than Russia's new prime minister, Vladimir, a strongman who has just stepped down from the presidency but has already begun to methodically plan for his re-election for president in four years' time, and he also needs a big victory to prove himself, and this war has been a foregone conclusion since Georgia was just provoked.

The batch of electromagnetic weapons that they ordered with Sun Cheng is just to ensure that they are correct.

After all, Moscow didn't know that there were Decepticons and Autobots on the earth, but with the appearance of Sun Cheng and the two invasions of Severodvinsk, the Russian army experienced and realized the power of mechanical life as a belligerent.

Although Sun Cheng has repeatedly assured that as long as they do not appear on the battlefield, the Autobots will not meddle in the war between humans.

However, it is not only the Chinese who understand that as the main battlefield of modern warfare, European countries have caught up with their understanding of national and military strategies.

The long ammunition box was quickly opened, and inside there were cylindrical warheads that looked no more than half a meter long, which were the matching electromagnetic artillery shells designed by Decepticon engineers for the [BM-30 self-propelled rocket launcher].

Through the intranet, Sun Cheng had already learned all the information about this batch of electromagnetic shells in advance, so he personally introduced them to [Colonel Vasilyevich].

“…… These electromagnetic shells can be launched through your country's [BM-30 self-propelled rocket launcher] platform, and each shell detonates with an area of 280,000 square meters, which can destroy all electronic equipment in the coverage area......"

This is already quite remarkable, [Colonel Vasilyevich] obviously knew about it in advance, and also knew that a salvo of his [BM-30 self-propelled rocket launcher] cluster fragmentation warhead rocket can cover an area of six or seven hundred thousand square meters.

What's more, there were several Russian military industry experts who came with him, and after communicating a few words with him in Russian, Sun Cheng saw him nodding with satisfaction, raised his head and asked: "The power is enough, but what is the cost of a warhead?" ”

In modern warfare, small countries generally do not dare to use heavy weapons at all, and it is not an empty word that a cannon is sounded and gold is ten thousand taels, such as the rocket equipped on the big guy [BM-30 self-propelled rocket launcher], a cheap cost of twenty or thirty thousand US dollars, and the expensive seventy or eighty thousand US dollars is not ambiguous, this is still the price of their own use, and it is a country that has doubled its exports, such as a South Asian power that is willing to be slaughtered.

The Decepticon engineers didn't think much of it would cost them a lot to make an electromagnetic projectile, around $30,000.

However, this price only passed in Sun Cheng's heart, and it rose more than twenty times in an instant.

"The cost is about $800,000, because you are in a hurry, and we have only produced 500 pieces so far. If Moscow needs it, on the same terms, we can continue to manufacture! ”

400 million US dollars is almost 24 billion rubles, which is by no means a small amount for the Russian army, which is tight on military spending, but Sun Cheng is at ease.

He is black, and Mao Zi's heart is not red.

The uranium ore used to be traded, Moscow can sell them several times more expensive than the uranium ore sold on the international market.

Both sides know that Moscow is bullying them that they have no other access to uranium mines.

Left and right Sun Cheng and they also have means to make money from other transactions, so they seem to be at a loss, but neither side is clear.

The price of $800,000 a piece only made Colonel Vasilyevich's face change slightly.

However, the offer was clearly within Moscow's estimates, so he did not offer to contact Moscow for negotiations, but directly asked to go to a former garrison exercise ground in the suburbs to test the power of weapons.

In this regard, Sun Cheng also agreed directly.

Unbeknownst to him, his name was frequently in a heated discussion in the Indian Ocean just as he had just negotiated a deal with Moscow.
