Compared with the "Brahma", which has attracted much attention, several other new weapons and equipment have attracted people's attention. 【Reading.com】

At the same time as the "Brahma" technology verification machine, the project was also approved by the "Xingtian" ground weapon system platform of the Sixth Army.

As the "system platform" that the 6th Army is most concerned about, Xingtian is also an unmanned combat platform based on the "neuroelectronic computer system". According to the assumption of the 6th Army, the "Xingtian" is not a single weapon system. Rather, it is a collection of main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, airborne combat vehicles, amphibious combat vehicles, the subsystem is funded and developed by the 6th Combat Team, and the self-propelled artillery is precise. It should be an electromagnetic gun, an armored reconnaissance vehicle, a mobile counteroffensive system, a logistics support vehicle, a future 6 combat system platform that can quickly change roles and has the significance of the times.

There is no doubt that the demands put forward by the 6 Army were too high.

Although at the time of development, the difficulty of development was reduced by adopting a "modular" design. However, with the technological level of Li Feinian, no country, whether it is the Republic or the United States, has sufficient technical reserves.

Taking the main battle tank and infantry fighting vehicle as an example, according to the requirements of the 6th Army, the versatility of the research and combat platform must reach more than paste, and the role change can be completed within minutes by replacing the subsystems that determine the nature of the operation such as the main gun, ammunition loading system, and protection system, as well as the control software; Although the individual who participated in the design did their best, in the computer simulation design at the end of the concave year, the versatility was only a kia, far from meeting the requirements of the 6th Army.

The excessively high technical difficulty did not discourage the 6th Army.

In the eyes of the vast majority of people, the "Xingtian" system or a similar unmanned combat system will sooner or later replace all the existing main battle equipment of the Sixth Army and become the well-deserved king of the Sixth War. Even Xiang Linghui has such an opinion, otherwise he would not have spent tens of billions of military funds to open the "Xingtian" system. It's just that in the eyes of more people, the Sixth Army of the Republic spared no effort to open the "Xingtian" system, not to obtain an unmanned combat platform as soon as possible like the "Brahma", after all, the environment of the Sixth World War is more complex, and the requirements for the intelligence of equipment are higher, unless the technology of the neural network computer makes leaps and bounds, otherwise the "Xingtian" system can only stay in the primary stage of development. The real purpose of the 6th Army is diametrically opposed to that of the Air Force and Navy. Through the development of the "Xingtian" system, the most basic technical reserves have been completed, laying the foundation for the development of a real unmanned combat platform for the Sixth Army. Other words. "Xingtian" is not the ultimate goal of the 6th Army, but only a means to achieve the end.

No matter what the purpose of the 6th Army is, the "Xingtian" system, which does not even have a verification platform, will definitely not be able to enter the battlefield.

When the General Staff Department let the technical verification platform and the test unit participate in the war, the "Xingtian" was still in the process of basic design.

Relatively speaking, in addition to participating in the opening of the "Brahma" technology verification aircraft led by the Air Force, the Navy's enthusiasm for unmanned combat platforms is not high, mainly because the Navy has a higher degree of systematization, whether it is a surface warship or a submarine. It will require dozens, or even thousands, of officers and men to operate, and until the intelligence of neural network computers is improved, the navy will certainly not be willing to allow "brains" at the level of locusts to dominate the ocean battlefield.

The main focus of the Navy was on "energy weapons".

This decision is more or less related to Navy Commander Lin Xiaolei.

After the Japanese War, the Navy of the Republic was the first to carry out military ideological reforms. Although many people think. The fact that the Navy of the Republic was at the forefront of ideology had a lot to do with the "Shikoku Sea Basin Naval Battle", because that naval battle made the main striking force of the Navy an ornament, but it was not a far-reaching naval battle that really promoted the reform of the Navy's military thinking. Rather, it is a new mission for the Navy of the Republic.

For the republic to outdo the United States, it must build a strong enough navy. And the construction of the Navy must be carried out in advance.

Although human beings have already stepped out of the atmosphere, and some people have even proposed to establish colonies on the moon and Mars, until another planet suitable for human survival is found, the earth is still the only home of human beings, and no matter how high and far they fly, they will have to return to the earth sooner or later.

In the oceans, which occupy more than seventy percent of the earth's surface, the navy is the absolute dominant power.

It can even be said that in the absence of large-scale migration to outer space, the ocean has become a new home for human existence.

Tian Nian. The global population has exceeded 100 million. According to UNESCO's assessment report, six places around the world can only feed thugs. To make matters worse, although the temperature increase has decreased after the gradual rollout of controlled fusion nuclear power plants, sea levels will rise by meters in the coming years, and much of the coastal land suitable for human habitation and cultivation will be flooded. If you can't find a solution before then. For example, reducing sea level rise, producing more productive crops, changing the basic farming patterns of agriculture, and so on, the hope of mankind can only be the vast ocean.

In abundance, there are already countries that have taken action.

Year of the craftsman. The Dutch parliament has approved a 10,000-year plan to ensure that nearly half of the country's seawalls are not flooded by the sea because the climate becomes worse.

The Netherlands is reinforcing the "courtyard wall", and some countries can only relocate the whole country.

Fourth, after a number of countries rejected immigration requests, the Maldivian government announced that it would use the national wealth to order the old set of displacement of 10,000 tons of Yamada "maritime mobile city" within the year. "So that the people of the whole country can have a place to live when the land is flooded by the sea.

The Maldives' actions are somewhat tragic.

Facts have proved that the ocean is not only the carrier of human interaction, but also the hope of human survival.

The sea is so important that the republic must have a strong navy.

The reform of military thinking carried out by the Navy of the Republic is precisely in the service of the overall strategy of the country.

Because the construction period of the Navy is decades long, the exhibition of the Navy is relatively conservative. Historically, the show of any strong navy has been conservative, but those rising stars have been more radical. For example, when Britain was dominating the world, in order to challenge Britain's hegemonic position, France was very radical in its thinking on naval construction, not only the first to develop breech guns, but also the first to equip torpedoes. Although the Navy of the Republic is not yet the most powerful. But in the long run, the Navy of the Republic cannot afford to make any mistakes in the direction, and therefore cannot be too risky.

Not being risky does not mean rejecting new technologies.

Compared with the 6 th Army and the Air Force, the biggest feature of the Navy is that it taps the potential of existing technology.

In other words, when the 6th Army and the Air Force are fully developing unmanned combat platforms, the Navy is focusing on "energy weapons".

With the construction of as few large combat platforms as possible, the Navy pays special attention to the combat capability of the system.

In order to improve its striking capability, the Navy's enthusiasm for developing electromagnetic guns has even surpassed that of the Sixth Army. When the 6th Army was still complacent, the Navy had already thrown billions to open a new generation of "coil electromagnetic guns". In addition, the Navy also pays special attention to the development of various new types of ammunition.

From a technical point of view, the coil electromagnetic cannon is much more advanced than the orbital electromagnetic gun, which not only has higher energy conversion efficiency, but also has a larger load and muzzle beginning.

In the year of captivity, the first coil electromagnetic cannon for technical verification was fired at the naval aviation base in Qinghai. Although affected by the initial design, many performance indicators are not as good as the orbital electromagnetic gun that has been equipped with the Navy, but the results of the test have greatly increased the confidence of the Navy, and the Navy increased its investment in research and development the following year, requiring the relevant individual to complete the test work in the technical verification stage as soon as possible, and carry out the manufacture and testing of the prototype gun.

In order to launch a new type of treble anti-ship missile, the Navy's investment is quite staggering, and the performance indicators have also been changed again and again, resulting in repeated changes in the basic design. For example, in terms of ballistic selection, it was initially determined to be a cruise missile, and later changed to a ballistic missile. In the end, a "cruising trajectory" scheme came out.

Because the navy did not participate in the Sino-Indian conflict, Xiang Linghui did not attach much importance to the navy's test equipment.

What's more, Lin Xiaolei is a guy who doesn't eat oil and salt, except for opening his mouth to ask for funds, he never cares about Xiang Linghui's attitude towards the navy. In his opinion, sooner or later, the navy will have to surpass the 6th Army, and sooner or later it will become the number one service of the republic. When the time comes, the Chief of the General Staff will not be the commander of the 6 Army, but the commander of the Navy!

To be honest, Xiang Linghui was very annoyed with Lin Xiaolei.

If it weren't for Wang Yuanqing who had been protecting Lin Xiaolei, I'm afraid Xiang Linghui would have changed the commander of the navy long ago.

Of course, the Navy is not without new weapons to participate in combat tests.

At Pei Chengyi's request, the Navy Command sent several new missiles to the air base in the West Curtain area. Although Lin Xiaolei repeatedly demanded that the naval aviation force participate in the war, Pei Chengyi resolutely asked the air force to carry out combat missions, because the missiles sent by the navy were also jointly developed with the air force. There is no such thing as an Air Force that cannot be played.

Pei Chengyi did this, which somewhat meant to suppress Lin Xiaolei, because Lin Xiaolei was a competitor to the next chief of the General Staff.

After Xiang Linghui finished reading a few documents, Pei Chengyi handed over a cigarette.

"Generally speaking, the main test is the unmanned combat aircraft Pei Chengyi lit a cigarette for himself. "Including us and the United States, we all believe that future wars are unmanned combat weapons. If we can prove the capabilities of unmanned combat weapons in actual combat, we can speed up the development and rearmament. If the opposite is true, we will have to find another solution as soon as possible and lead the United States astray

"Are all the combat operations arranged?

"It's all arranged. The battle order has been issued to all participating troops, Pei Chengyi glanced at his watch. Said "the thug strike force has been out, and the round strike will begin in five minutes." ”

"Let's wait and see. Hatchet man. Xiang Linghui stood up. "It's a great opportunity."

Ji Chengyi also stood up.

In his opinion, this is more than an opportunity. It will also determine the direction of the development of military power.
