Chapter 67: A New Cannon
Lin Lin nodded when he heard this: "I don't have any problem, anyway, where I work, it's all work, and I also have plans to go underground to walk around, that is, to select personnel, I will definitely pick those subordinates in my past, but I don't know if there are any people who are good at this kind of thing in Beilian." ”
"Don't worry about this, I will let Yang Miao connect with you, he is our Minister of Industry, and now the research station of Beilian is also managed by him, and you will take over this research station when the time comes, and I will give you a position as the Minister of Scientific Research."
Therefore Xia said very casually, anyway, Yang Miao is busy to death now, and he told himself a long time ago that he hoped that someone could help him divide some things.
Now that there is Lin Lin, there is naturally no problem in handing over the scientific research to him.
By the way, Gu Xia also plans to put Lin Lin in the system to the slot, how much can he eat some bonuses, but it's a pity, so Xia's political points have been used up on Ning Mu, and there are still dozens of points missing to install Lin Lin.
It's not easy to be shy in your pocket......
……
Sent Lin Lin away, so Xia called the origin, before he said that he found some good things in the underground facility, and he didn't tell himself before when he didn't speak, but now that the battle is over, he can finally know the origin of what he found.
According to the Origin Report, they found ten interstellar Federation cannons in a warehouse in an underground facility, and they were not ordinary gunpowder-propelled cannons, but electromagnetic cannons powered by electromagnetism.
After knowing the news, so Xia was directly shocked, knowing that the rifle he had been using was the product of the application of some electromagnetic rifle technology, and the electromagnetic rifle seemed to be not mass-produced because the cost was too high.
So what is this electromagnetic cannon?
According to the origins, electromagnetic rifles are extremely expensive due to the miniaturization of electromagnetic equipment, but electromagnetic guns are different in that they are larger in size, do not require too small electromagnetic equipment, and are easier to manufacture and install power storage equipment.
Therefore, during the interstellar federation period, they were already included in the regular army.
Compared with ordinary artillery, electromagnetic guns no longer need to propel charges, so the warhead can be made larger, and the range can also be changed by adjusting the electromagnetic energy supply.
And there is also a very powerful feature that the barrel of these electromagnetic guns is not a conventional fully wrapped round barrel, but a track composed of multiple rails.
In this way, each electromagnetic gun can be adjusted by the built-in rail scaler to achieve the firing of ammunition of different calibers.
That is, they may have been 88 guns one second, but 152 mm howitzers the next.
It can be said to be very powerful.
In short, Gu Xia was very fascinated by what he heard, and he already wanted to go directly underground to see these electromagnetic guns.
Compared with them, the dozen or so artillery pieces of all kinds captured in this Blue River City seemed to be directly dim.
It's really more damned than people, and the goods should be thrown away.
The only thing that makes Gu Xia regret is that the ammunition of these electromagnetic guns is only more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition of various calibers combined.
Moreover, it is mainly less than 100 mm, and only 500 rounds above 100 mm.
It seems that you will have to try to rub the cannonballs by yourself in the future, but there is a technology for making ordinary cannonballs here in the Blue River, and if you want to improve it, you should be able to make electromagnetic cannonballs.
At the same time, Gu Xia also thought about the different uses of these electromagnetic guns and those conventional guns in the future.
Based on the scarce number of electromagnetic cannons and the temporary irreproducibility, as well as their versatility, Xia plans to equip them with the standing army, which can strengthen the firepower of the standing army, and at the same time, the elite soldiers can also better exert the combat effectiveness of the electromagnetic cannon.
And now that the Blue River City has been taken, the vehicle problem has been solved, and it won't be too difficult to transport the electromagnetic cannon.
As for the conventional artillery, Xia planned to equip it with the reserve troops, because the reserve forces could be expanded at any time, so the artillery had to be manufactured more intensively in the next time, and even if it was not used, it would have to be stored there.
The only question now is how to get those electromagnetic cannons out......
There is definitely no way to pass through the small ladder that goes out and out, and it doesn't feel very reliable to use the elevator of the underground facility, but there is no other way.
Anyway, in the future, the situation in the underground facilities will be investigated in depth, so Xia plans to take this opportunity to directly repair the power supply system in the underground facilities, at least let them not turn off the fire at a critical moment.
As for the repairers, this one is better solved.
You must know that the origin is that they are all engineering robots that have worked in underground facilities for a long time, and this little thing is completely difficult for them.
After making up his mind, Soxia let the origin prepare by himself.
Therefore, Xia himself continued to arrange the next work.
……
Unlike the first census of the last Beilian, this time it did not take too long to count the population of Blue River City, after all, they are all working hard now, and it basically doesn't take much time to calculate the number of people.
It's more specific data, which needs to be investigated later.
According to the results of this investigation, after removing some high-level personnel who will definitely be shot, there will be 3,178 people who will join Beilian, which is more than the population of the entire Beilian.
If you count the original population of Beilian, it can basically hit the 6,000 mark.
The harvest this time is still very large, so in order to defend the fruits of victory, but also for the next step of the plan to be better implemented, Xia plans to start a new round of conscription plan.
If it is calculated directly according to the population, Xia can directly expand all the troops to double the original size, but the real situation is not so simple.
A simple expansion of the armed forces will lead to a decline in combat effectiveness.
And it could also bring down the economy of the Northern Union.
As far as the army that we have now is concerned, it is basically enough to protect our own security, but it is powerless to expand externally, because there is now another Blue River City that needs to be protected, so the troops are a little stretched.
But blind expansion is not a good thing, so Xia's headache now is whether he should mainly increase the number of standing troops to increase the strength of the elite, or should he prefer to increase the number of reserve troops to ensure the sufficiency of the overall strength.
This is a headache, because the expansion of the army is not only a matter of numbers, but also the number of equipment and the degree of training that need to be considered.
Of course, this kind of headache moment, so Xia knows that he will definitely not leave the system alone, and will always give himself some small suggestions, such as the two national policies that suddenly appeared when he thought of how to expand the army.
