In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

"Besides the increased charging and discharging cycles, the battery capacity has increased by about 15% with the same volume due to the adoption of the latest electrolyte. This also means that the range and other aspects have also been greatly improved."

"At the same time, the usage conditions of the Pioneer II in extreme environments have also been greatly relaxed. The operating temperature can range from minus 80 degrees Celsius to plus 280 degrees Celsius, which will greatly improve the safety and durability of the battery."

Li Ming was overjoyed after hearing this. "Good, very good. You have not been complacent but are actively improving. Good!"

"Chief, we are currently conducting an experiment on the feasibility of all-electric propulsion for armored vehicles," said the expert, Mr. Hu.

Li Ming became interested after hearing this. "If it's all-electric propulsion, how will the armored vehicles be charged?"

"Chief, according to our current results, the Pioneer II battery is only being tested on a small number of armored vehicles, and testing has already begun."

"A 60-ton main battle tank, using only four large Pioneer II batteries, plus the power consumption of various electronic devices and instruments inside the tank, can travel approximately 600 kilometers."

"Light armored vehicles, such as wheeled vehicles, equipped with two batteries can travel approximately 750 kilometers. Assault vehicles or all-terrain vehicles, these types of light vehicles, can travel approximately 1000 to 1200 kilometers with one battery."

"Based on these tests, it proves that all-electric armored vehicles are feasible. Moreover, electric drive has an even better advantage, which is that energy utilization efficiency is higher, far higher than internal combustion engines."

"Even our latest diesel and gas turbine engines only have an energy utilization rate of about 55% to 60%, while electricity can reach over 90%."

"As for the battery charging issue, our latest tested armored vehicles have two solutions. The first is hybrid power, which we can absolutely achieve with our latest technology. That is, electricity is the main power source, and the internal combustion engine is the auxiliary power source."

"The second solution is to ensure range by replacing the batteries. With the support of logistics troops, a tank can complete the replacement of the battery pack in about 10 minutes.

For wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, the time can be shortened to within 6 minutes. As for assault vehicles and all-terrain vehicles, the time will be even shorter, basically comparable to refueling."

"So, my suggestion is that all light assault vehicles should be all-electric, while wheeled vehicles and tanks should wait until testing is complete before making a decision," said Mr. Hu, expressing his inner thoughts.

Li Ming carefully considered Mr. Hu's suggestion. All-electric power has many advantages, but military equipment is different from civilian equipment. Military equipment must ensure absolute reliability in extreme environments.

"Mr. Hu, I ask you, how reliable are these batteries in military equipment?" Li Ming asked with concern.

Mr. Hu knew that the chief was tempted when he heard this question. He said to his assistant, "Bring the test report!"

Three minutes later, the assistant brought a test report. Mr. Hu skillfully flipped through the test report. "Chief, according to our actual use tests, the biggest problem with electric drive is charging. For this reason, we have compiled test reports on the following military equipment under pure internal combustion engine, hybrid power, and pure electric drive."

"According to this report, for tracked vehicles, the reliability of internal combustion engines is the lowest, followed by hybrid power, and pure electric power is the lowest. Because internal combustion engine-driven vehicles need to ensure that the external pipelines of the internal combustion engine are unobstructed, and there are various mechanical wear, etc., so the reliability is the lowest."

"Compared to the complex pipeline system of internal combustion engines, the structure of hybrid power is the most complex, and it is the most troublesome to repair after a failure. However, if electricity is the main driving force on weekdays, and the fuel engine is used as a charging tool and auxiliary power, the reliability is also very high.

The structure of pure electric power is the simplest, and the reliability is the best. It is also the fastest to repair. After all, military weapons and equipment emphasize that things with simple structures are often more reliable. Compared to the pipelines of internal combustion engines, pure electric vehicles are all connected to batteries and motors by wires, so it should be very promising."

After listening to Mr. Hu's words, Li Ming thought for a while, "How is the application of these solid-state batteries in drones and other unmanned equipment?"

"Chief, it's very useful. The attack radius of the most ordinary civilian FPV drone has increased from about 10 kilometers to 85 kilometers. Military reconnaissance and strike integrated drones, under full load with pure electric drive, can fly around most of the planet, with an attack radius of approximately 8,500 kilometers."

"If we use our latest power system, the strike radius, range, and payload of the drone will continue to increase. In short, the prospects are very good.

In addition, we plan to upgrade and improve some well-preserved drones immediately after the existing drone batteries of the troops are scrapped, so that the cost will be much lower than producing new ones, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."

Li Ming was very satisfied with their progress. He looked at another military industry expert, Mr. Qian, "Mr. Qian, how is the development of the latest stealth fighter?"

"Reporting to the Chief, the matching engine has been officially produced, and all aspects of the fuselage have been manufactured. Only the final assembly process remains. By the way, the matching latest anti-G suit has also come out. This anti-G suit can reduce the overload of about 8 to 11 Gs and is specially used to match the Mirage fighter."

"Good, after these fighters are officially formed, I will reward and celebrate your achievements!"

"Thank you, Chief."

"How is the progress of bombers and transport aircraft?" Li Ming asked another military industry expert.

"Chief, the transport aircraft with a maximum load of about 85 tons has been successfully test-flown and is currently undergoing relevant tests. According to the performance currently displayed, this aircraft can be used as our main transport aircraft and can be modified in various ways, such as into tankers, early warning aircraft, etc."

Li Ming was very happy. "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. You must also pay attention to your health. For our base, you talents are all valuable assets. Are there any difficulties in scientific research that you need me to solve?"

"Chief, we have too few high-altitude test platforms and wind tunnel experimental equipment. We have to wait for several days each time before it's our turn!" Mr. Qian couldn't help but say.

Li Ming's expression became serious when he heard this.........
