Chapter 2383: 1,000 tons

Amphibious landing ship, Qin Guan immediately reminded everyone that there is still a very important mission for the current Han country, which is to complete the reunification of the motherland. Many of the current naval constructions are based on this. The purpose is, for example, the 203 mm naval gun that made the limelight in this naval battle is actually specially prepared for the Navy's future landing operations. Using this thing to bombard the ground is definitely quite enjoyable.
And now, what kind of ground-effect aircraft we want to build, that kind of small anti-ship warfare is not appropriate, because we already have a large number of stealth missile boats and many fighters that can fly at ultra-low altitudes, so ground-effect aircraft The missile attack is a waste of repeated equipment.
If none of these are useful, it is a different way of thinking and build it as large as possible!
What are the benefits of being older? It can carry main battle tanks.
When the troops went up, the first ones were definitely light, amphibious tanks and the like. This kind of tanks were thin-skinned and had good firepower, but their protection was too poor. They were all used by the Marines and consolidated. The beachhead position is enough. After the beachhead position is consolidated, the main force can be moved up.
At this time, how should the main force go up? Transport ships can be used. In fact, in the face of large-scale battles, civilian ships must be recruited. For example, in the war of Niu Guoren on Donkey Island, almost all Niu Guo cargo ships were mobilized to provide maritime transportation lines, and there was no long It’s impossible for them to win that war.
However, the ship is too slow. An ordinary cargo ship has a speed of more than ten knots. It takes more than ten hours to go back and forth, which is too unacceptable.
What if there is a ground-effect aircraft? The flying speed of this thing is about the same as that of an airplane, but its load capacity is much larger than that of an airplane. It can transport main battle tanks in large quantities to meet the needs of the battlefield.
Take the current Caspian monsters, with a total weight of 500 tons and a carrying capacity of 200 tons. Three tanks can be transported at one time. If there are ten Caspian monsters, 30 vehicles can be transported in one day. Flying ten times, that's three hundred vehicles. The size of a group army can go up in one day. This kind of transportation capacity is beyond the reach of other equipment.
No one had thought of this kind of use before, and now Qin Guan immediately pointed it out.
"If our ground-effect aircraft is a thousand-ton class and has a load of 500 tons, then ten main battle tanks and thousands of fighters can be transported at one time." Qin Guan said, "So, we How about setting our goal as one thousand tons?"
Is it a thousand tons? In fact, this is not a great leap forward, flamboyant wind, you know, future generations have more flamboyant plans than this, this is the "Pelican".
Although the Caspian monster finally disappeared into the dust of history, many countries have demand for this giant aircraft, especially the Eagle Nation. In previous wars, the Eagle Nation people have been troubled by their own ground reloading. Troops cannot be mobilized efficiently, so even if they have hundreds of giant transport planes, the huge troops on the ground still need to be slowly transported to the target area by ship, which seriously delays their deployment.
Therefore, they wanted a giant aircraft with the speed of an airplane and the transportation capacity of ships. Boeing accepted the Pentagon’s R&D requirements and designed such an aircraft.
How huge is it? Looking at a few simple data, the fuselage is 110 meters long, with a wingspan of 152 meters, a total weight of 2,700 tons, and a deadweight of 1,270 tons. It can carry 17 M1A2 main battle tanks at a time, or 3000 fully armed soldiers.
If you still can’t feel its hugeness, you can compare it with the largest existing transport aircraft in the world, the An-255. In order to transport the space shuttle Blizzard, Xiong Guo Antonov Design Bureau designed the largest in the world. The six-engined transport aircraft has a fuselage length of 84 meters, a wingspan of 88 meters, and a load capacity of only 250 tons.
All the aircraft in the world, in front of this transport aircraft, are dwarf-like existences.
Speaking of the Great Leap Forward, it was also the Great Leap Forward for the people of the Eagle Kingdom. Qin Guan had reduced this index by half, and the total weight was only 1,000 tons. Let's make a breakthrough first.
When I heard Qin Guan say a thousand tons, a hot flame appeared in Akseleyev’s eyes. As the developer of ground-effect aircraft, Aksereev has built this kind of device for decades. Of course Sereyev wanted to build a larger device, but in the Xiong country, they did not have this opportunity at all. For decades, they have been on the edge and can only use some remaining resources to study. He didn't dare to yearn for such a monster of thousands of tons.
May I?
There are difficulties. For such a huge ground-effect aircraft, whether it takes off and landing on land or on the sea is a problem. If it is on land, how many tires must there be under it, and how big a runway is needed? If it is in the sea, its abdomen should be strengthened accordingly to withstand the force of the landing, and how powerful and abnormal its engine should be?
However, these are all secondary. Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good guys. Akseleyev heard that he was going to develop a 1,000-ton ground-effect aircraft, and his chest suddenly surged with pride.
"Mr Qin, as long as the funds and personnel are allocated in place, I think that in one year, we can build this kind of aircraft!"
A year's time? Qin Guan was a little unbelievable when he heard it: "So fast?"
"Yes, in Xiong Country, we have already had many kinds of plans, but unfortunately, because we did not invest, we can't continue to study at all. We have done research before for this kind of 1,000-ton level. Now it’s just time to test the research results. We have the previous 500-ton level construction experience, and now we are building a 1,000-ton level, and we have great confidence."
Qin nodded his opinion: "Well, as long as it can be built in one year, everyone will get an extra bonus of two months' salary."
It is the best to give them a monetary stimulus. After all, they are all afraid of poverty. Now that they come here, Qin Guan has paid a lot of wages, and just now, Qin Guan promised a bonus!
In fact, if they know something about this place, they should know that as long as they work hard and get two months' salary at the end of the year as a year-end bonus, it is absolutely fine. Now, Qin Guan's promise is very attractive to them, what else to say, do it hard.
