"Of course there is no problem." Sun Dahai replied confidently, "The Antarctic base is built with the highest strategic base, which is why it took so much time to complete. Its defensive capabilities are also unmatched by the Kilimanjaro base. Defense goes up, natural camouflage and jamming capabilities will follow, this is a key construction project, now the Antarctic base, can cover our aircraft directly to low earth orbit without anyone to find out, of course, with the world's technology can not be discovered. With regard to aircraft transportation, we have specially strengthened the airfield within the base so that it can take off and land 25 standard transport aircraft at the same time. Oh, by the way, the Antarctic base will only be able to use the standard transport aircraft of the global defense force in the future, and the An-124, the equipment of this time and space, can no longer be used, after all, the standards used are different. ”

"Standard transport plane?" Lin Hai said with some concern, "They don't have enough capacity, right?" The transportation capacity of the ordinary single frame is 100 tons, and the transportation capacity of the reinforced type is 120 tons. At first glance it's not bad, but if we want to transport heavy equipment, let's say 500 Riemann Ruth tanks, we need 250 sorties at two each. With the current throughput of the Antarctic base, it will take off ten times. Wouldn't that be too much of a movement? Can a camouflage system shield such a flight operation? ”

"It was taken into account from the beginning." Sun Dahai replied, "The holographic camouflage system we have set up at the Antarctic base is enough to cover a range of 100 kilometers in the base and its surroundings, and the air coverage altitude can also reach 25 kilometers. Moreover, we have already done 10 tests in advance, and not only the scientific research stations of various countries in Antarctica have not found it, but even the satellites of various countries have not noticed our aircraft. Because we control them all. ”

"That's fine." Hearing Sun Dahai's reply so affirmatively. Lin Hai was relieved, "In this way, I basically don't have any problems." I'm going to go to Wang Hammer to ask about the situation and results on his side later, and if you have anything else, contact me. In short, help me remind Zhao Wu, when the auction is held. Strengthen our defenses, we can't guarantee that the Sijing people or the Holy Brotherhood people won't come to cause trouble. ”

"Please rest assured, Zhao Wu's side has strengthened its defenses, and my side will also provide corresponding technical and military support, and there will definitely be no problems in the auction."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Pillar tank?" Looking at the giant tank with a double-barreled main gun and four tracks that appeared on the holographic projection, Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said to Wang Hammer, "Are you planning to sell our annihilator?" ”

"Of course not. Sir. Wang replied solemnly, "This is an extremely weakened version of the Annihilator. ”

"Weakened version?" Lin Hai glanced at him, "If I don't remember, it seems like we talked about this kind of thing before, right?" I once asked your technical department to provide a weakened version of the Annihilator for export, but you rejected my suggestion because this tank, made with modern technology, is too bulky. The defense power is not necessarily higher than that of the Riemann Ruth tank, and it is easy to become a target for air force? ”

"Yes. I did say that before. Wang Hammer said calmly, "What I said at the time: The advantage of the Annihilator is that its heavy armor and powerful firepower are not taken into account. If we want to make a weakened version, then we have to make it from the armor materials of this era. But in order to ensure that it has sufficient defense, the armor will definitely be thickened, and the mobility will be even worse, which is the first problem! In order to protect our engine technology from leakage, the weakened version of the Annihilator engine must only be available from this era. But if we want to drive hundreds of tons of hulls, don't we need ship engines? That's the second question! Both of these issues affect the tank's mobility, making it a slow target. Moreover, the excessive weight of the hull also affected the deployment and use of the tank, and there were no roads and bridges in this era that could withstand hundreds of tons of heavy loads. Therefore, the weakened annihilator is simply useless. ”

"That's right, that's what you said, so I dismissed the idea of a simplified version of the Annihilator at the time." Lin Hai said, "So, why did you bring up this idea that you once vetoed again?" ”

"Because of our technical department, there are some new discoveries." Wang Hammer said as he replaced the image of the tank on the holographic projection with another, which was the image of an engine, "This is the most technologically advanced engine model that we recovered from the heavy equipment we destroyed after our previous battle with the Holy Brotherhood, which is one of the engines used in the giant multi-legged combat vehicle destroyed by the Annihilator MK2 Super Heavy Mecha in Yasen City. The multi-legged vehicle weighed 250 tons, but it had only two engines, and it wasn't too big - in terms of engine-to-body ratio. At that time, the two engines were also damaged to varying degrees after their bodies were destroyed by the Destroyer MK2's railgun, so we didn't study and analyze the wreckage of the multi-legged body in the first place, in fact, we were really busy at the time. ”

"I know that you are understaffed and have a heavy task." Lin Hai nodded, then pointed to the three-dimensional drawing of the engine and said, "So this engine is a diesel engine?" Or something else, say, a gas turbine? Or is it an engine with a newer operating principle? ”

"It's a gas turbine with 3,000 horsepower each." Wang Hammer replied, "This shows that the technical aspects of the Holy Brotherhood are much more advanced than the current mainstream technology of various countries. So after discovering this engine, I had a new idea. What I mean by that is to apply this engine and power a simplified version of the Annihilator. 3,000 horsepower is enough to drive a tank of more than 100 tons, and it won't be much slower, and for armor defense, we can use titanium, which is our latest simplified armor material, at least it's stronger and lighter than the material used by Riemanrus today. According to my preliminary calculations, a simplified version of the Annihilator weighs 125 tons, which is only 5 tons heavier than the original; The speed can also be maintained at 60 km/h. Of course, it still has disadvantages, that is, the fuel consumption is much greater, and the road bridges of most countries cannot bear its weight, even if we increase the length and width of the tank's tracks. So I estimate that the countries that will buy this kind of tank should be countries with more domestic plains. ”

"The weight is controlled under 120 tons." Lin Hai rolled his eyes again, "125 tons, our plane can't transport this thing, and we can't transport the reinforced special type." And the fuel consumption is too great, the new Guardian tank of the M people has now been replaced by a diesel engine, and even they are a little unable to accept the fuel consumption of the gas turbine, let alone other countries. And you also have to design a set of special bridge erection vehicles and transport vehicles for this thing, so that the matching can be regarded as keeping up. Not any country would let such a heavy tank drive itself all the way. More than 120 tons, even a train cannot transport such a heavy thing, and one car is more than the weight of two wagons. In this case, you may also need to design a new carrier train. ”

"Of course, I've already thought about that." Wang Hammer replied proudly, "The technical information of the Guardian main battle tank obtained by Master Chief from the Holy Brotherhood and Future Technology Company also contains tips in this regard, so when I designed this takeaway tank, I also included the transportation and bridge building tools, I directly used the high-speed erection system specially designed by Future Technology Company for the 85-ton Guardian, which can erect a 100-meter-long bridge with a load of 200 tons in half an hour, of course, the price of this system is more expensive than the tank." ”

"Pillar Tank." Lin Hai muttered the name that had been chosen by Wang Hammer in advance, and reviewed the information of this new equipment again, "Two 150 mm main guns, two remote-controlled weapon stations, 7.62 mm machine guns and 12.7 mm machine guns, and two twin anti-aircraft missile launchers. The frontal armor reached 2500 mm homogeneous steel armor, the sides - 1500 mm, the rear and the roof - 1000 mm steel armor. The firepower and defense are not bad, and you can even go head-to-head with our full version of the Stalker. However, I always feel that for such a thing, to achieve such a defensive power, is 125 tons really enough? Speed still up to 60? Although it is said that new materials are used, look at this head, 150 tons are available, right? ”

"Absolutely not!" "Unless you add external armor, it will reach 150 tons." ”

"Who would buy such a thing? Now many people think that the era of super-heavy main battle tanks has passed, and no matter how heavily armored a tank is, it can't withstand a bomb dropped by an airplane. ”

"That's why we are equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, which are anti-aircraft missiles with a range of 20 kilometers. And its own defense is also enough to withstand the shooting of the mainstream anti-tank weapons currently equipped by various countries! ”

"But don't forget, Sijing's Devourer Tank can't even be confronted head-on by our original Stalkers. And we don't know how many new weapons the Holy Brotherhood still hasn't come up with, and how can you be sure that this tank will withstand the attacks of those things? Lin Hai finished speaking a little hurriedly, and then he gasped again, and said a little helplessly, "Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now, you can build ten cars first, and I'll let Su Wen try if anyone wants this kind of thing." In any case, until those two enemies come up with more powerful weapons, the combat effectiveness of this thing is still worth looking forward to. And this thing has another advantage, which is that it can allow our annihilators to appear on the battlefield in the open. (To be continued.) )
