Chapter 479: Design transformation

Such things as mobile bases are actually a very common setting. Large-scale movable vehicles or buildings appear in many games, movies and TV works, or novels.
Science fiction and magic are very common settings, and there are many derivative settings or related works.
Take the land cruiser made by the Suvias as an example. In fact, this can be regarded as a kind of mobile base, but the Suvias obviously used this thing as a combat vehicle in the development instead of designing it as a mobile base.
As for the difference, all land cruisers developed as combat vehicles exist for combat purposes. They are limited by the level of technology at the time and the Suvia’s consistently stupid and thick design style. The internal space is narrow and basically all It is a cabin used for combat.
In addition, there is also a place to accommodate the ammunition bay and the transmission mechanism of the entire double-mounted 305mm turret. When the soldiers are driving this land cruiser, they can certainly play a strong combat capability, but they themselves don’t want to have any comfort at all. Up.
Chen Xin has seen it in the prototype. Although this land cruiser does not involve the crew compartment, its space is basically just a narrow single bed, which can be used for soldiers to lie on it and sleep for a while.
Moreover, these beds are all designed to be stacked in two or three, which is smaller than the space between the upper and lower berths in the sleeper compartment, and all the berths are basically near the combat position, which seems to be for the soldiers to be able to fight in the first time. .
As for the other functional cabins, they are all served for combat. In addition, a large amount of sound insulation and shock absorption materials are also laid inside the entire land cruiser to prevent the internal members from being directly shaken to death when the gun is fired. The entire interior of the land cruiser The space is even smaller.
But the mobile base is not the same. It has more complete functionality and can exist as a "base" to provide logistics, material and other guarantees.
And as a base, although it is not necessary to emphasize the comfort of living, there is still enough living space, and even kitchens and restaurants should be equipped.
After all, it is a base. Although a mobile base may not be as large as a regular fixed base, at least it must be able to cope with various situations.
According to Chen Xin's design, the scale of the mobile base should be larger than that of the land cruiser, but there is no need to pack it so full inside, like the traditional structure that the Suvias forced in to install the twin 305mm turret. And the buffer structure used to support the shelling can be completely removed.
As for the sound insulation and shock absorption materials, these can be replaced with more modern materials, and the design structure can also be optimized.
After all, the mobile base still has to run on the road. For such a big thing, shock absorption and sound insulation must be done, otherwise the table can be turned upside down when running.
"So the artillery must be dismantled, and there is no need for the original design of the nuclear reactor..." Chen Xin used nano-molecules to project a three-dimensional image of the land cruiser, making adjustments bit by bit.
The two very conspicuous and very deterrent barrels were removed along with the entire turret, which not only freed up a lot of load, but also made a lot of space on the entire chassis.
Although the artillery should be installed as a self-defense weapon or road barrier, the 305mm caliber is still too large and it is very inconvenient to use, and it is completely unnecessary.
It is as if modern warships have only installed artillery with a caliber below 150mm, and only one gun is installed. The main attack method has been replaced with better-used missiles. Even if Chen Xin wants to install weapons on the mobile base, he will also install at most one. A 130mm naval gun will never use such a large caliber.
The entire interior space of the Land Cruiser must also be redesigned.
Although the original designers of Suvia were very talented and were able to design such a big steel monster, Suvia has been disintegrated for more than 30 years. Although many designs are very exquisite today, there are also many designs. They are all outdated and need to be adjusted in many places.
And now this thing is not used for combat, so many parts of its internal can be removed, and new functions must also be added.
According to Chen Xin's idea, the dining room and bathroom are definitely necessary, and the cabins should be changed to independent compartments instead of just a few single beds as before.
In addition to these, Chen Xin also plans to add a hangar and apron on the mobile base.
This is the result obtained by referring to the mobile bases in warships and many sci-fi works. If there are helicopters, the mobile base can quickly deploy the action team, and there is no need to drive over the entire base to be so exciting.
With helicopters, vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles are naturally indispensable, so a garage has to be added.
Following Chen Xin's thoughts, the three-dimensional images projected in front of him are gradually changing.
The barrel and turret disappeared, the body was elongated, and a pair of tracked chassis was added to the bottom, which increased from the original four tank chassis to six, with six pairs of twelve tracks.
At the same time, the entire power system was replaced by Chen Xin. The original nuclear reactor was still a very old-fashioned design, not to mention the actual position. Now Chen Xin simply replaced it with a fusion furnace of his own design.
Smaller size and stronger output, enough to provide surging power and abundant electricity for this mobile base. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com
In addition, Chen Xin added a garage to the rear of the chassis, filling the middle part of the original (type bracket structure).
Although this may reduce the capacity of the car on uneven ground, considering that the crawler chassis on both sides is not particularly high, it is actually possible to add a garage.
And where the turret was removed from the top, Chen Xin also added a hangar in the same way, and built a retractable apron on the side for helicopters to take off and land.
In terms of size, four helicopters can take off and land at the same time, which is quite sufficient.
The interior cabins are naturally all re-planned to make them more reasonable and comfortable.
Although the interior space of a mobile base is of course impossible to talk about as spacious and comfortable, the planning is reasonable, the functional facilities are complete and modern, so that the occupants will not feel depressed and aggrieved when living in it. This should be Did it.
Coupled with functional facilities such as kitchens, dining rooms, bathrooms, toilets, and auxiliary facilities such as water supply tanks, the entire mobile base is now considered to be adjusted.
