An Unscientific Mechanic
Chapter 65 R u0026 D work begins
Ian paused for a moment, looking at the old men who gave surprise glances.
"In addition, the location and energy pipelines for carrying large-scale weapons are reserved under the bow of the ship."
"Large armed?"
"That's right, the mega particle main gun has its limit after all. At the current stage of the mega particle cannon, a single Magellan-class main gun can't even sink the Salamis class in one shot, and using the main gun to hit large objects, Such as large meteorite space fortress, the effect is not very good. And the effect of using nuclear weapons is not good, so I think we need some large equipment for demolition.”
"Do you have any ideas about these large-scale equipment for demolition?"
"There are some, such as the 15-meter-caliber large-scale mega-particle cannon, the 6-meter-diameter electromagnetic gun and the large-scale plasma cannon. I think that in about two years, the Federation should be able to develop related products. If temporarily No, that reserved position can also be hung on a large anti-ship missile or install another main gun."
Several old men looked at each other, knowing it in their hearts.
"How complete is the new cruiser you designed?"
"Less than 50%, I don't have permission to read many technical documents."
"Then which side do you want to take charge of the design of the new hull and the development of the demolition equipment you mentioned?"
"The design of the new hull. I found the three large-scale armaments in the base information. I think they should be able to be used after modernization and upgrades."
"Very well, then we will arrange other research teams to tackle key problems. The new turret you designed will also be installed on the next batch of cruisers after the test is completed. In addition, regarding the new cruisers, we hope to see the finished drawings within half a year. We can see new cruisers launched in two years, no problem."
"no problem."
"Disband, Lieutenant Varsity."
"Yes! Huh?"
"Your two merits are enough for you to move up, go."
Ian saluted again and left the meeting room.
"I didn't expect that the big guns of the Federation's ships were so serious. The old men's eyes lit up when they saw the new cruiser." Ian thought to himself.
"How?" Tim Ray waited at the door of the meeting room.
"It is said that the test has passed, and it will be applied to the next batch of cruisers. I was transferred to carry out the design work of the new cruiser. Director Lei."
"The new cruiser? Did you just go back and get it?"
"Well, the design I made in my spare time, I didn't expect that the old gentlemen hoped that this design could be completed."
"That's really congratulations to you, Director Vasti, if the new cruiser is adopted, your days of rising to the top are just around the corner."
"Accept your good words, Director Lei."
"Let's go, take you to eat something good, today is a good day for your promotion."
Then Tim Ray drove Ian to...another cafeteria on the base. Seeing Ian's shocked expression, Tim Ray didn't care, "Do you think there will be any restaurants in this South American jungle? And this base is a secret base, it is impossible to open restaurants around it. This canteen is for senior military officers. The master's craftsmanship is not bad."
"Ian-jun, what do you think the future war will look like? I don't know why, but I always feel that the future war will be completely different." Tim Ray put down the beer in his hand.
"Who knows, since the discovery of the Minovsky particle, the technology in the military has changed rapidly. I heard that there is an organization demonstrating the Minovsky particle flying device. Is it true?" Ian put down Steak in hand.
"It's not a pleasure to inquire about federal secrets, Ian-kun, but I did hear that there is a device that allows warships to fly in the atmosphere. Why do you want to participate?"
"No, I just want to install it on a new ship, then I can design an air-space dual-purpose warship, and the aviation combat power of the Federal Army should be greatly strengthened."
"It is also possible that there will be no federal army in the future... This design may cause trouble. It is not a day or two for the space army to annex the army. If you build a dual-purpose ship, the generals of the army may kill you. Don't mention this , but remember to reserve room for upgrades.”
"Hmm... I heard that Director Lei's teacher is Dr. Minovsky. What do you think about future equipment?"
"Doctor, he admires large-scale robots." Tim Ray took a sip of wine. "We students don't support him very much, and the Federation just regards his idea as a big waste of money. I heard that Zeon has already A mobile weapon named MS has been developed, but there is no substantial evidence."
"ms?" Ian revealed a puzzled expression very cooperatively. "what is that?"
"If the doctor develops according to his plan back then, then MS will be about 20 meters high, equipped with a Minovsky reactor, a humanoid mobile weapon using large-caliber machine guns and rocket launchers as weapons. However, Zeon will really produce this Is it a human weapon?"
"The particle discovered by Dr. Minovsky has changed many existing mechanisms. Maybe he has his reasons for admiring large robots." Ian looked for a barely reliable reason. "And as long as Dr. Minovsky can prove that a large robot can outperform the Swordfish space fighter in actual combat, then Zeon will definitely use that robot called MS."
"That's right, Zeon, you won't miss any chance to strengthen yourself, that country is going crazy."
"Zeon..." Ian didn't want to see a crazy one-week war, let alone a frenzied one-year war.
It was a tragedy that killed more than 6 billion people.
"Don't mention that, Mr. Yi'an, do you have any arrangements now, including personnel and equipment. I will get you some more resources so that you can complete the new project as soon as possible."
"Thank you very much, Director Lei. I don't know the personnel here. Please help me recommend some experts on radar and observation equipment. I don't know much about this. In addition, there are experts on mega particle cannons. I am very familiar with this I don’t know much about it either. In addition, I need the calculation resources of the supercomputer and the information of the Federation’s previous ships. There are some structures that I need to refer to the previous ships.”
Otherwise, I can't explain the fact that I cheated...
"No problem, leave it to me."
Half a month later, the Federation's new letter of appointment came down, and Lieutenant Ian Vasti was appointed as the development director of the Federation's new generation cruiser, and a development team of 50 people was established to carry out the development of the new generation cruiser, and ordered Lieutenant Ian Varsity must submit finished blueprints before January 1, 0076, and produce new cruiser prototypes before January 1, 0078.
"Everyone, this is a daunting task." Ian held the letter of appointment and looked at the 49 scientists from the Federation who came to report along with the letter of appointment. Ian Alexander also felt that the working arrangements within the Federation were simply fucked up. How can a lieutenant lead this group of military scientists above the lieutenant colonel?
"Don't be pressured, Director Vasti, we will follow your orders to carry out research work. No one here cares about the issue of military rank. There are only two types of people in a research team, the development director and the researcher."
I believe you are a ghost... This group of people have expressions like "Little boy He Dehe can lead me, I want to make trouble." on their faces.
"Then trouble everyone, I need to have a general understanding of your abilities before I can assign work. Now, please go back and rest first, we will officially start our development work in three days."
There was no answer or salute, and everyone left in twos and threes.
And you said you don't care about rank? That's what got me here?
Ian resisted the urge to put on sacks one by one, turned and left, and called Tim Ray on the way.
"Director Lei, the military ranks of my research fellows are all higher than mine, how should I fix it..."
"Don't worry too much, Mr. Yi'an, this kind of situation often happens in this base. Four years ago, the development environment of the Swordfish fighter was even worse than yours this time. At that time, a newly graduated researcher proposed the idea of the Swordfish fighter. The prototype, and then the committee asked him to bring several general-level researchers to conduct research. This is not the perfect completion of the task.
After all, they are just not convinced by your age, as long as you show enough ability, they will not reveal your attitude today. In the research team, the director's order is absolute, and there really is no such thing as a situation where military rank is overwhelming. Moreover, they stopped many of their own scientific research projects this time to achieve your results, please be considerate. After that, your rank will be higher than most of them. . "
"Well, thank you, Director Lei, am I still worried about how to talk to this group of superiors, I probably understand."
"It's good to understand, and strive to produce results as soon as possible."
Ian returned to the room, pulled out the information of the 49 people who came today, and checked them carefully.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lee Perry, an expert in thermonuclear rocket engines, was in charge of the development of Magellan-class engines."
"Colonel Charlie Edward, an expert in spaceship structure, once presided over the development of the Salamis class and Magellan."
"Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Deakin, expert in high-energy particle weapons..."
Ian was taken aback when he saw the introductions of this group of bigwigs. Has the Federation brought all the bosses involved in the new cruiser here?
Two days later, Ian finally sorted out the work arrangement and was waiting for the assignment. Ian sent a group notice to his team members to start work the next day and then went to rest.
The next morning, Ian woke up early, took the file folder to the large research room assigned by the base, and waited for everyone to arrive, but when he opened the door, Ian found that all the team members had arrived.
"Morning, everyone, you're here so early." Ian was a little embarrassed. He wanted to wait for the team members to come, but he didn't expect this group of people to be so enthusiastic about their work.
"Director Vasti, we have been idle for two days, and we are also looking forward to the birth of a new cruiser." Ian finally knows who the one who keeps talking is, Colonel Edward, the current capital ship of the Federation, the Salamis class and Magellan A top designer, no wonder he can speak on behalf of this group of bigwigs.
"Understood, I will assign work now. Colonel Edward, this is the draft of the ship I have designed and the upgrade draft of the Magellan class. The structural part has been basically completed. Please check for omissions and fill in the gaps." Ian gave Colonel Edward The task book, marked with the data codes required for his work.
"Lieutenant Colonel Deakin, Lieutenant Colonel Nolan, I hope you will develop two new main guns, a triple-mounted main gun. The power of a single barrel is at least equal to that of the existing Magellan-class main gun, but the rate of fire is increased by at least 20%. A dual-mounted main gun requires a single round of fire to sink the Musai class that Zeon is about to serve. In addition, Major Niu Wenjun will work with you to develop both live ammunition and beam barrels."
"live ammunition?"
"Live ammunition, I think there may be devices that can neutralize Mega particles in the future, and we have to plan ahead."
"clear."
"Lieutenant Colonel Tanaka, go develop a device to counter particle beams. The current armor is too weak for the Mega Particle Cannon."
"yes."
"Major Yang, you have developed a sufficiently good optical device. I remember that Minovsky particles can interfere with electromagnetic waves. We need to assume that the radar has completely failed to search for the environment."
"yes!"
"..."
It took a long time for Ian to finish assigning the work. There were 49 people involved in almost every aspect of the battleship.
"Emmm... It seems that there are no experts in paint. Forget it, anyway, the radar can't be used, and the invisible paint is also a waste."
Then Ian started his own research and development work - gravitational radar and charging armor. The radar can’t be used. I can scan your gravity. No matter how powerful your Minovsky particles are, they can’t interfere with gravitational waves.
Then Ian suddenly remembered that the Minov particle aircraft...is an anti-gravity aircraft.
"Damn... don't overturn the car then."
"Director Vasti, I basically read it. Is the new cruiser you designed based on the Magellan class?"
"That's right." Ian looked up at Colonel Edward who was beside him now. "The design of the Magellan class is very classic, and the shape is very beautiful."
"Excellent, but I don't think the improved version of the Magellan class needs to be considered."
"Huh? Why?" Ian was denied the plan for the first time.
"Because of cost issues. It is very tempting to remove the side bridges on both sides of the Magellan class, add two box-shaped gantry hulls, and install two more main guns. However, the transformation cost has exceeded the reproduction cost of two The construction price of a Salamis-class plus a Columbus-class is too high. Moreover, the upgrade and renovation project of the facilities inside the ship is too large. If it is newly built as a brand-new aircraft carrier cruiser, this is a good comprehensive battleship, but, The cost of building a new and improved Magellan class is estimated to be close to 80% of the new cruiser, but the combat efficiency may only be 50% of the new cruiser."
"Really... I thought the cost of installing two additional storage compartments would not be too high..."
In the 00 world, the application of 3D printing technology does make the cost of this additional hull not too high. But it seems that uc does not have such a convenient technology...
