Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

In the Nantianmen plan, the most difficult thing to complete is of course the large-scale aerospace strategic carrier platform.

After all, it is more than 200 meters long and 600 meters wide, which is equivalent to the huge size of four aircraft carriers. Even if it has an anti-gravity generator, it is not a problem to fly. If you want to build such a huge thing, it is still a huge challenge for human industry. Rigorous test of capacity, material science and structure science.

Building an aircraft carrier is already a huge test of a country's overall industrial strength.

Just like the joke circulating on the Internet, it needs "the State Planning Commission, the Military Industry Commission and nine defense industry ministries, 600 related specialties, and 8,000 supporting manufacturers". This is not a job that can be completed by a shipyard. It is a powerful country with strong national strength.

And it is almost impossible to build an aerospace carrier platform that is several times larger than an aircraft carrier.

This is not only a technical problem, but also a problem of industrial production capacity.

Not to mention, the hundreds of thousands of tons of qualified high-performance steel produced by this thing alone, for many small countries, it is impossible to produce it even if it is sold.

Not to mention that the materials used in some places are much rarer and more expensive than high-performance steel. Some small countries may sell the entire country, and these materials may not be valuable.

But this time, all the countries that human beings exist in are involved in the construction this time, so there is no problem in terms of materials.

Especially Chen Xin's previous efforts in Europe, the mining and smelting of various mineral resources, and the synthesis of high-performance materials are not too big of a problem.

Those mining sub-bases all over Europe provide sufficient raw materials for the construction of the carrier platform.

But there are only materials, and these materials need to be processed into parts.

You must know that the carrier platform is more than 200 meters long and 600 meters wide. In order to ensure sufficient structural strength, the size of many parts is also surprisingly large.

For example, the main support structure of the carrier platform, some components are even more than 100 meters long!

Such a huge component has never been manufactured in human history, because nothing needs to use such a large part.

Even if components hundreds of meters long were needed in the past, they were manufactured by splicing multiple parts instead of making such a huge part as a whole.

If it is not for 3D printing technology, I am afraid that it is necessary to study how to manufacture such a large part.

And even with 3D printing technology, to manufacture such a large component, the printing equipment still needs to be redesigned, and the existing printing equipment is difficult to complete its manufacturing work.

What's more, even if it is manufactured, how to ensure the structural strength of such a huge part meets the requirements is a headache for the project team.

And all of this requires Chen Xin, the chief person in charge, to coordinate and coordinate, which will test his ability even more.

If it wasn't for Xiyao, an artificial intelligence, who assisted him and helped him deal with a lot of trivial matters, I'm afraid he would really be exhausted to death.

Fortunately, the country also knows the difficulties of this project, and has deployed a large number of experienced administrators and technicians.

These people may not be able to help much with the improvement of the theoretical foundation, but for the actual construction of the aircraft platform, these people can play a great role.

Experienced administrative personnel can coordinate the cooperation and communication between various departments to make the collaboration between various departments smoother, and can also solve "small problems" that arise in the mass production process.

The technicians can better complete the manufacturing work, and some problems that may not be realized or not found on the drawings, these on-site technicians can find and deal with them during the manufacturing process.

It's just that even with these conditions, it is still not easy to build a large-scale aerospace strategic carrier platform.

In order to avoid waste and to verify the technology, Chen Xin decided to build a scaled-down small airborne platform for technical verification, and also to accumulate experience for the real design and construction of large-scale aerospace strategic airborne platforms.

This plan was quickly recognized and supported by all parties, and everyone also felt that it would be more reliable to do a technical verification first than to start building a big guy directly.

After all, those large parts of more than 100 meters are really difficult to manufacture, and there is indeed no relevant experience.

If you can build a smaller one first, verify whether the structural design is reasonable, or find out the possibility of changing large parts into small parts, it will be very beneficial to the construction of the entire aerospace carrier platform.

Therefore, when each project team has almost perfected the basic theory, a small carrier aircraft platform that has been reduced by nearly ten times has been built.

This airborne platform is not a scaled-down version of the large-scale airborne platform expected to be built. Although it is similar in structure, its drawings have been carefully designed.

And this airborne platform also has the same performance indicators as the large airborne platform, and can also launch drones for combat.

It's just that the UAVs carried on this small carrier platform are not aerospace aircraft that can basically enter the design and finalization stage, but some specially designed small UAVs.

This small carrier platform is only more than 20 meters long and 60 meters wide, and looks like a passenger plane with particularly long wings.

The main part of the fuselage is the crew cabin and control center to accommodate personnel, as well as a drone maintenance workshop specially prepared for the carrier platform, while on both sides of the fuselage, there are two drone launch tubes.

This is a new technology specially developed for the aerospace carrier platform, which can quickly launch drones at high altitudes, recover and maintain them, and is an important basis for the combat concept of the carrier platform to take shape.

As for the huge wing whose wingspan has completely exceeded the design of ordinary aircraft, this is one of the focuses of this technical verification.

Because of the demand for the use of a large aerospace strategic carrier platform, the design of such a large wingspan is in line with its positioning, but this design of a large wingspan is also a torture to the wing structure and materials.

After all, we all know that longer things are easier to break, and the same is true for wings.

It is not a simple matter to make it long enough and strong enough to meet the needs of aircraft flight.

Fortunately, the entire Nantianmen project has concentrated the world's top scientists and scientific research teams, and a wing with a wingspan of more than 60 meters is not a problem for them.

As for the energy and power of this small aircraft platform, it is relatively simple.

A small nuclear reactor was installed on this carrier platform, and together with it, there were anti-gravity generators and shield devices, which provided it with abundant energy and a more convenient way to ascend to high altitudes. and adequate protection.
