After listening to Qiao Zhenhai, Qian Zhizhong and others beside him, including Qin Shan, cast a glance at each other.
Then everyone nodded slightly.
Yes, if the black and white hawk really dared to be combative, with their current strength, they could indeed directly pluck the hair of the black and white hawk!
Not to mention anything else, just the formation of bomber planes carrying JUDGMENT drones proposed by Su Heng just now could easily destroy the defense forces of any village!
Even black and white eagles are no exception!
The fleet of the black and white eagle, which has dominated the world and is unparalleled, may be powerful, but so what?
Even without the intervention of the twin tails, with thousands of Thunder drones carrying three thousand Judgment drones, a single salvo would render any fleet obsolete!
An attack from eight hundred kilometers away, let alone whether you can detect it in advance, even if you do, it would be of no help!
When in trouble, use tactics for infiltration; when wealthy, use firepower for coverage!
Tactics + firepower, a cure-all for any disobedience!
...
A series of data information are located next to the model.
A chaenops attack submarine with a full load displacement of 13,000 tons, equipped with eight torpedo tubes and twelve missile launch wells, capable of carrying 100 torpedoes and twelve submarine-launched ballistic missiles under full load. Would you like to know more about it?
Even if there is a real need, the drone carrier can accommodate several FQ-1 anti-submarine drones on Longyuan!
FQ-1, this is the rotorcraft anti-submarine drone that Su Heng equipped to Longyuan previously.
Thinking of these things, Su Heng's thoughts immediately became lively.
Of course, because it only carries the JUDGMENT type of small disposable drones, the deck of this cargo ship does not have the strength of an amphibious assault ship.
That's of no value at all, and it's also without any significance.
The biggest problem with "Nan Tianmen" is gravity and air resistance.
Otherwise, even Thunder and Twin Tails cannot take off and land on the cargo ship.
To achieve lift to overcome gravity, "Nan Tianmen" must fly at high speeds!
In this way, resistance has become a formidable obstacle for "Nan Tianmen".
But that's different in high altitudes.
Su Heng directly shifted his gaze away from the drone carrier in front of him.
However, the cost of these twin-tail unmanned aerial early warning planes and Thunder unmanned reconnaissance planes is much higher than that of the Judgment drones.
I'm not sure how long it has been——
This is already more than the cost of one basic model of twin tail and an intelligent biological helmet, plus one basic model of Thunder!
The twin-tail unmanned aerial early warning planes are even more so.
Even the Judgment drones are not considered, let alone now the Thunder, twin-tail unmanned reconnaissance and early warning planes that have been re-designed and reinforced by Su Heng to meet naval and electromagnetic launch requirements.
I know very well that I have no underwater defense capabilities, so why would I go out on my own?
How could I, an ADC, go hand-to-hand with you, a warrior or an assassin?
Am I crazy?
Even if we take one step back.
In terms of appearance, it is an ultra-large version of a flying wing aircraft layout.
Or, with just a slight amount of power, it can maintain flight in space.
The lift provided by air is not enough to meet the needs of such an ultra-large aircraft like "Nan Tianmen".
Maximum lift limit: two thousand meters, maximum range: four hundred kilometers, maximum flight time: forty hours, maximum flight speed: two hundred thirty kilometers per hour, maximum load capacity: one thousand five hundred kilograms, and different anti-submarine modules can be hung according to needs.
However, even now, a week has passed and he still hasn't found a lead.
...
What are you talking about?
So Su Heng decided to abandon the idea of equipping the drone carrier with a defensive system.
After a round of technical verification and testing.
Longyuan battle ship is almost the supreme defender!
Whether it be electromagnetic weapons or electronic countermeasures weapons, there's a comprehensive collection!
As long as there is Longyuan, the drone carrier's defense is of no importance. If there is no Longyuan, even if electromagnetic cannons are installed on the drone carrier, it would still be of little significance.
During this week, apart from researching the drone carrier and refitting Thunder, Lightning, Twin Tail drones, he...
What?
The JUDGMENT drones cannot hit underwater targets?
Space stations are also the same.
"Airborne platforms, a bit of a trouble..."
But if you want to expand, how to make this platform fly, how to keep this platform flying at an altitude of thirty or forty kilometers for a long time, how to control the cost of operation, and so on and so forth, these are all problems!
Previously, Su Heng tried to use pulse detonation engines and variable cycle engines, but after verification, both ideas failed.
The platform can fly, but each takeoff would cost billions of funds!
Moreover, the cost per minute or even per second is a astronomical figure!
That's a real money-sucking monster!
Every second is pouring gold into it!
Any village cannot afford this thing...
The same applies to airplanes.
While Qiao Zhenhai and others were busy preparing for the formation of the Composite Brigade.
Then it's like this now. After studying for a week, except for making a hollow shell with no real content, nothing has been accomplished.
Even the deck can be directly opened!
A spark of inspiration suddenly flashed through Su Heng's mind!
"More than 20,000 meters is not good, the air resistance is too big. So it's hard for such a large platform to fly. What about 200,000 to 300,000 meters?"
"Close enough..."
For a colossal object like "Nan Tianmen," the resistance is even more immense than one can imagine!
Looking at the huge object in front of him, which is 187 meters long and 29 meters wide, Su Heng muttered to himself.
The cost of ten thousand drones would amount to a hundred million, and even including the fuel, additional navigation and positioning devices, and basic intelligent programs added later, the cost wouldn't exceed two hundred million—in Dragon Currency!
Then there are the Thunder reconnaissance planes and the twin-tail unmanned early warning planes on top.
But this model is now quite illusory, even more so than the F-22 Raptor model that Su Heng simulated based on the limited information provided by the national defense force about the stealth fighter.
In other words, this model now has almost no actual technical data to support it!
Just a hollow shell with no real content!
Putting Longyuan aside.
In other words, to overcome gravity, one must create a force that can counteract gravity.
It's not possible to upgrade the weapons of the drone carrier to the level of Longyuan.
However, after verification, Su Heng abandoned this idea.
And a full fifty drone launching systems and two electromagnetic launch systems!
These drone warehouses will carry a full one hundred thousand Judgment drones!
The unmanned reconnaissance and early warning planes can certainly cover the hundreds of kilometers around for 24 hours!
Once any dangerous target approaches, the Judgment drones on the drone carrier can launch a deadly strike at the target immediately!
If you want to threaten the drone carrier, you'd better first avoid the surveillance of the unmanned reconnaissance and early warning planes!
The defense circle of hundreds of kilometers around is, to some extent, absolute defense!
If "Nan Tianmen" is placed at this height, the problems of resistance and gravity that "Nan Tianmen" would encounter can be completely solved.
A hundred thousand drones capable of carrying heavy anti-ship missiles, just ask you if it's moving!
This is simply chasing the tail of a rabbit!
The reason is simple: the body strength of the Judgment drones is insufficient, and the immense load from the electromagnetic launch can instantly render them unusable!
Simply put, the cost-effectiveness is too low!
This massive object is the product of Su Heng's research over the past period based on the concept of unmanned aerial freighters proposed by Qin Shan.
Are there big black fish underwater?
Then we are back to the starting point.
"Oh, yes!"
The so-called sound barrier is actually air resistance!
Like gravity, any object moving quickly on Blue Star will encounter air resistance.
"If I modify the origin and turn it into a large spaceport, placing spaceflight vehicles on it, can we achieve the same effect as 'Nan Tianmen'?"
As for the Judgment drones, Su Heng originally planned to use an electromagnetic launch system to launch them as well.
To construct an air strategic platform like Qian Zhizhong described, it cannot be done in small increments like the Thunder drones carrying Judgment drones.
Then he continued to look at the virtual data model beside him, which was almost completely transparent.
The reason is simple: there is no need.
The bigger the flying machine, the greater the resistance brought by high-speed flight!
Approximating to amphibious attack ships.
But the number is only ten.
The Judgment drones are valuable because of their low cost and the value they bring through sheer numbers!
If the cost is raised, what's the point?
Why not just build a bunch of Thunder, Lightning, and twin-tail drones when you have the time?
According to the data display, this model is 300 meters long and has a wingspan of 800 meters, making it an undeniable behemoth.
As for the drone carrier itself, since there is no need to consider design and development costs, the only real expenses are labor and materials, which are basic costs.
That's the resistance!
The sonic barrier is the result of compressed air in front of a flying vehicle as it approaches the sound speed, which is equivalent to an invisible barrier!
If the flying vehicle can break through this barrier, then the so-called supersonic aircraft is born...
On the other side, in the underground laboratory of the Jiuding Group——
Gravity is a no-brainer, planetary gravity, knowledge from middle school.
A multitude of ideas flashed through his mind.
The remaining time was spent tinkering with "Nan Tianmen," the concept proposed by Qian Zhizhong.
Airplanes can take off because of the lift generated by the difference in air flow, and when the upward lift is greater than the downward gravity, they naturally take off.
For example, at the height of 400 kilometers that the Origin is running, the air is already incredibly thin.
After modification, the surface of the cargo ship has been replaced with a flat, straight deck. There's also an island added to the ship.
That's just the price of an ordinary destroyer or frigate!
What's the use of this thing to have any defense?
Even if it's really bombed, I wouldn't feel sorry!
Much less than that, there are Longyuan warships like bodyguards!
So whether it's the pulse detonation engine or the variable cycle engine, Su Heng gave up on them.
Whether it's the drone carrier or the Judgment drones on the drone carrier, their initial positioning was as consumables.
Looking at the illusory model in front of him, Su Heng muttered to himself.
Thinking of the Origin, Su Heng's eyes shone with insight.
However, after comprehensive consideration, Su Heng abandoned this idea.
The cost of a shipborne version of the twin-tail unmanned early warning plane is as high as 18 million Dragon Currency!
Even if all these devices are Su Heng's self-researched production...
The main body is a cargo ship of 27,000 tons that has been manufactured by the Longyuan Shipbuilding Factory.
And if you want to meet the needs of electromagnetic launch, you have to strengthen the body strength of the Judgment drones.
That's roughly equivalent to the price of four twin-tail drones and three intelligent biohelmets!
The cost is not low by any means.
In summary, after upgrading and modification, the cargo ship has become a fully functional drone carrier.
According to Su Heng's estimation, the cost of a drone carrier would not exceed four hundred million Dragon Currency!
Su Heng had originally wanted to add some electronic countermeasures and electromagnetic weapons to it.
The cost of these ten unmanned aircraft is quite high. The basic Thunder drone sold by Su Heng to the national defense force only costs 80 million, with a cost of 70 million, but the Thunder reconnaissance drone has been equipped with a large number of observation and detection equipment, the value of which is much higher than the Thunder drone itself.
In other words, even if it meets the requirements, its cost-effectiveness is too low to be tolerated!
Su Heng also tried to develop anti-gravity devices, but so far, there is no breakthrough.
Things like anti-gravity engines found in movies are too advanced, and it's simply impossible to develop them in a short time!
And air resistance, this is also basic knowledge from middle school.
As is well known, the flight of satellites and space stations does not require propulsion.
In total, the cost is only over one billion!
And it's also in Dragon Currency!
That means the total cost of all the drones is over three billion Dragon Currency.
The only drawback is that this drone carrier has little defense capability.
Beneath the deck, there are huge warehouses for drones!
To expand on this, you can refer to the sound barrier that aircraft encounter during flight.
The electromagnetic launch system on the cargo ship is for these Thunder and twin-tail drones.
A 200-kilometer anti-submarine radius!
In this situation, what big black fish dares to get close, and what big black fish can get close??
The reason is simple: the air is extremely thin at altitudes of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of meters!
Correspondingly, the resistance encountered by the flying vehicle is significantly reduced!
Then, under the action of gravity and centripetal force, satellites can fly at high altitudes with extremely weak power or even without power.
As long as it is on the planet, any object cannot escape the control of gravity.
This is the cost after adding electromagnetic launchers, necessary communication controls, and all sorts of other gadgets inside.
In total, the cost of such a drone carrier will not exceed eight billion Dragon Currency.
In addition, on this converted cargo ship, Su Heng equipped six Thunder unmanned reconnaissance drones that have been modified and reinforced to allow for wing folding, as well as four twin-tail unmanned early warning planes that have also been modified by Su Heng and can be folded.
Of course, if you really must say so, the drone carrier is not without any defensive capabilities.
Looking at the model in front of him, Su Heng's brow furrowed, and various thoughts kept occurring to his mind.
Moreover, as it is a naval model, upgrades to the body are required to meet the spatial and takeoff/landing needs of the ships.
Such drones can even be placed on the deck of a drone carrier without any problem, with dozens of them at once.
Quietly, the figure of satellites and space stations appeared in Su Heng's mind.
But this would dramatically increase the cost of the Judgment drones, which are originally disposable items.
The drone launch system under the deck is directly connected to the drone warehouse, and it can launch all ten thousand Judgment drones within half an hour!
For example, when you run and encounter a strong wind, the wind can push you towards the opposite direction, making it difficult for you to even run!
Dedicated people do dedicated tasks. Just let the consumables do their job and don't worry about anything else.
The corresponding resistance is almost non-existent!
This has caused the cost of Thunder unmanned reconnaissance planes to directly increase from 70 million to 630 million!
He originally had a plan to turn the Origin into a large space station, or even a spaceport.
Now, with the "Nan Tianmen" and his ideas, it seems like they are a perfect match.
