Will the war last long? Chen Xin didn't know this, but he felt that he should at least be prepared for a long-term war.
And by developing corrosion-resistant armor, even if the war is over and the armor is no longer useful, it can still be used as a technical reserve and will not be wasted.
What's more, Chen Xin, who was aware of the system's assistance, did not think that his development of a corrosion-resistant armor would need to be delayed until the end of the war.
After the tasks were assigned, the researchers under Chen Xin did not waste time and soon began the research and development of anti-corrosion coatings and corrosion-resistant armor.
Chen Xin himself was also involved and started the design of a new model of Titan.
At this time, the entire dome city was already operating efficiently, and all work was being carried out in an orderly manner. Although there were still many things that Chen Xin needed to deal with, after Chen Xin entrusted most of the work to Tang Tang, he You can put most of your energy into the design of the new Titan.
The large-scale application and actual combat testing of the general-purpose Titan on the battlefield has made this model of Titan very popular. At the same time, it has indeed exposed many problems.
First of all, just like the Iron Cross Zoo back then, although it is indeed advanced and easy to use, the maintenance of Titan is still a very troublesome thing.
So far, in the entire theater, only the Titan maintenance room left over from the original scientific research center and the Titan driver training base can provide complete Titan maintenance and maintenance services. In other areas, temporary maintenance points can only be set up to replenish ammunition and replace consumables. Easy maintenance.
However, this level of maintenance obviously cannot guarantee the use of Titan on the battlefield.
Running out of ammunition is very common on the battlefield against alien creatures. After all, when the overwhelming alien creatures are coming towards you like a plague of locusts, the only thing you can do is to either turn around and run, or dunk. Hold the trigger and don't let go, and send out all the bullets in the chamber.
But in addition to replenishing ammunition, the biggest problem for Titan is the loss of outer armor and wear of joint parts.
The wear and tear of joint parts was exposed when Chen Xin took Titan to the southwest for disaster relief and used them for the first time.
He has tried to solve this problem and indeed made a lot of improvements, replacing parts with better quality, adjusting the structural form, and reducing wear and tear as much as possible
But these parts are still easily damaged when used intensively, although this is only relative to other parts.
So in a previous improvement, Chen Xinhe researchers simply designed these parts to be cheap and replaceable. Once damaged to a certain extent, the entire component can be directly removed and replaced with a new one.
? And old parts will not be thrown away. The worn parts will be removed for repair, and the other parts that are still intact can be reused.
Just replacing damaged parts requires professional maintenance workers and a professional venue.
Because there were not many Titans in use before, and they were not used as intensively as performing combat missions. In addition, almost all Titans at that time were concentrated in the Titan training base and scientific research center. Overall, the two maintenance points were completely Enough.
But now the battlefield is fierce, and Titan also has heavy combat missions every day. Most of the time, the pilot can rest, and after the maintenance of the aircraft, he will be replaced and continued.
Although doing so maintains the number of Titans on the battlefield and ensures that there are enough Titans to fight on the battlefield, the consequence is that the wear and tear of Titans is much higher than that of normal use.
Replacement parts consume a lot of money, and a large number of replaced parts that can be recycled can only be sent to the training base and the maintenance room of the scientific research center that has now become the headquarters. This undoubtedly affects the maintenance efficiency of Titan.
Therefore, Chen Xin plans to adopt a more maintenance-friendly design in the design of the new Titan, not only to facilitate the replacement of parts, but also to set up simple maintenance points on the front line to complete the maintenance of a Titan without causing any damage. It relies too much on logistics.
Although so far, Titan's performance on the battlefield cannot be said to be "too" dependent on logistics.
The most critical problem that really causes this weak logistics maintenance is that Titan is a new equipment that is in the finalization, research and development, and trial stages. They do not have a large number of equipment armies, nor are they widely used, so they have not been established accordingly. Establish a complete logistics support system.
It is precisely because of all this that Titan performs well on the battlefield, but at the same time logistical maintenance is very difficult.?? situation.
In fact, for modern warfare, it is no longer about fighting for numbers, occupying space, or relying on the victory of one battle to win the entire war.
What truly determines the victory of a modern war is more about logistics. It can even be said that since the Napoleonic era, the key to military victory has become whether logistics support is successful.
This point is reflected even on the battlefield with alien creatures.
In fact, judging from the comparison of the combat power of the two sides, although the human army does not have an advantage in terms of individual strength, the military power and various advanced weapons at the disposal of humans are enough to defeat the alien creatures without even recognizing them.
But the speed at which alien creatures can replenish their offspring far exceeds the speed at which humans can replenish equipment consumed on the battlefield.
Humans can spend a week building a bomb and transporting it to the battlefield to kill a lot of alien creatures, but in this week, alien creatures can hatch the bomb and kill twice as many people. The above new sub-bodies and send them to the battlefield.
This is the most intuitive comparison of logistical supply capabilities between humans and alien creatures at this time.
Therefore, for Chen Xin, the design of the new Titan must consider whether the logistics can keep up, and whether the current national production capacity can meet the needs of mass production.
??And the more critical point is compatibility.
The design of the new Titan takes time. Although Chen Xin can quickly come up with a suitable final plan, arranging production, equipping the front line, and forming combat effectiveness will all take time. Before that, he will undoubtedly have to mass-produce the original Titan. The Universal Titan.
This will also lead to the fact that after the new Titan is designed, the army will be equipped with more of the original universal Titan.
If there are big differences between the two Titans, whether it is the driving style or the parts used for maintenance, as well as the maintenance methods, it will inevitably lead to various usage problems.
Although it does not mean that it cannot be overcome, as a designer, since you have thought about it, you should avoid these problems. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
