Chapter 486: Can't afford to build a mobile base

"Is it a transport-type mobile base? This is a good idea."
It is still the leader who made a video call with Chen Xin last time, but this time Chen Xin has returned to the research center, using the communication equipment of the research center to talk to the leader.
Facing the attitude of the leader, Chen Xin naturally felt that the possibility of passing the plan was a little bit higher, so he unfolded the nanomolecules in his hand and projected the transportation mobile base he designed in the past few days. Explained his entire plan to the leader.
"This is the transportation mobile base I designed. Compared with the previous model, I have made some adjustments to its internal structure." Chen Xin showed his design to the leader and highlighted the modified part to illustrate : "The original vehicle garage at the bottom is retained, but an elevator is installed here to facilitate the transportation and loading of materials, and the second deck connected by the elevator will be transformed into a large warehouse for storing materials."
Since it is a transport-type mobile base, there is naturally room for loading cargo.
Chen Xin naturally took this into consideration when designing the mobile base for transportation. The length of the original mobile base was lengthened, and the power cabin responsible for the function was moved back to the stern of the hull and placed between the bottom deck and the second deck. .
Then move the personnel cabin and other living facilities to the top deck. In this way, the entire second deck is vacant and can be used as a cargo hold comparable to a warehouse.
The transportation-type mobile base does not have as many personnel as the field support type and the medical type. The corresponding personnel cabin can naturally be reduced in space. After moving to the top deck, it can still be arranged, even if this is the case. Squeeze more than half of the hangar space.
It took several days for Chen Xin to upgrade and optimize the drawings. There are no loopholes or problems in this solution.
"Because it is a transport type, the vehicles carried must be adjusted accordingly. I adjusted the all-terrain vehicle originally carried into a newly designed vehicle, and the four helicopters with different functions carried in the hangar were reduced to one. A transport helicopter." Chen Xin continued to explain to the leader his adjustments to the mobile base.
Listening to Chen Xin's explanation and watching the demonstration animation projected by nanomolecules in front of him, the leader nodded in satisfaction.
It was just that the leader nodded and frowned slightly and said: "Although it looks really good, this mobile base should be more than 100 meters long according to your design by Academician Chen? We are capable of such a big thing. Is it built? Is it necessary to build it?"
The leader's question seemed to have pressed the pause button, and Chen Xin, who was originally enthusiastic, couldn't help but stop explaining.
Can it be built, how much resources will it cost to build it, whether the country can afford to invest in such resources, whether the final result can be proportional to the resources invested, and whether such a large investment is necessary...
Although these problems do not seem to have much to do with the mobile base itself, they are the key to restricting Chen Xin's plan and the practical use of the mobile base.
Is the mobile base useful? Of course it works.
Is the mobile base easy to use? Of course it works.
But is it necessary to build a mobile base?
Not necessarily.
Mobile bases are not something that must be made. In the current domestic form of Yan Country, having mobile bases will certainly make the situation better, but not and it will not make the situation worse.
So building a mobile base is not necessary, especially when the cost of building it is not cheap.
This is like the situation faced by the Suvias when they built the land cruiser, the predecessor of the mobile base.
Is this thing useful? Useful, but not so useful.
And it’s too expensive. With this investment, it’s better to build a hundred or eighty more tanks and assemble an armored division to do the same thing.
This is also the reason why the Suvias sealed up three land cruisers back then, because it was so tasteless.
The situation that Yan Country is facing now is naturally not that bad. After Chen Xin's adjustment and upgrade, the mobile base can still be used to great use.
It's just that the cost is too high, which makes it not so cost-effective.
After all, the country of Yan can be called precarious. Although the domestic situation is still optimistic, the overall situation is still grim, and the country has not gotten rid of the various impacts brought about by the disaster.
Especially the previous Southwest Earthquake was a big punch for Yan Country. Although it was not a major problem, it also greatly affected Yan Country in a short period of time.
"I understand what the leader means. Judging from the current situation, I think the construction of a mobile base is necessary." Chen Xin did not use any rhetoric here or deliberately exaggerate to convince the leader, but took a realistic attitude. Explaining: "The high investment and high cost of the mobile base itself are indeed its disadvantages, but relatively speaking, the maintenance cost of a transport-type mobile base is much lower than that of a traditional way for material transportation in an area. Consumption.
In the long run, this investment is worthwhile, and with the successful construction of the mobile base, the return on the investment can be seen very quickly.
The only problem is the construction of the mobile base itself, and whether the country can devote enough resources to build the mobile base. "
"Yes, Academician Chen, your analysis is in place. The country is indeed facing difficulties. It will not be able to put such a large investment to build a mobile base for a while." The expression on the leader's face also became a little helpless.
If Yan Country still has the capacity for industrial construction before the disaster, he can approve Chen Xin’s plan without having to think about it at all, but the country’s industrial production capacity is still recovering, indeed. Inability to execute such a huge plan.
You must know that according to Chen Xin's plan, each province is equipped with one mobile base, and provinces with larger areas will also deploy more based on actual conditions.
A single mobile base may not be very expensive, and the country can still afford it, but more than 30 units...
This is comparable to the investment of two complete aircraft carrier formations, and it is not something the country can afford now.
As for building one or two units first to improve the situation in some areas, this may be a compromise plan, but it is still not a trivial matter. The impact and the things involved still require careful consideration.
Even if the leader of the conversation with Chen Xin is of high authority on such a big matter, it is not something that can be easily decided. So he thought for a while and said to Chen Xin: "Academician Chen, you should first improve the design of this transportation mobile base. We need to discuss carefully before we can make a detailed plan on how to build and how much investment is needed to build a unit."
