    Academician Zhao explained to Qi Yiming with a smile: "As you can see, bombardment with cruise missiles with large warheads cannot penetrate the Iron Curtain at all. This defense mechanism using a special force field is extremely resistant to damage."  The anti-penetration ability is extremely impressive. In fact, let alone the cruise missile with high-explosive warhead, even if it is bombarded with tactical nuclear weapons, it will not penetrate the Iron Curtain. Well, energy weapons such as radiation and lasers and their associated effects  It can't defend, because it is a force field shield after all, not a real shield."

    Even if there is no way to protect against radiation, there is no way to protect against energy weapons, but it is quite an achievement that chemical energy weapons cannot penetrate it. Qi Yiming continued to ask: "The size of this thing will probably be very large.  Well, that¡¯s why you installed it in such a large hull. Isn¡¯t the energy consumption quite high?¡±

    Sun Jingnu said: "Yes, if you want to use ordinary diesel power as the energy source of the Iron Curtain Device, it is almost impossible, because burning a ship of oil will not necessarily produce enough energy to supply the force field of the Iron Curtain Device.  Shield. Only large weapons platforms equipped with nuclear reactors can carry this thing."

    "So, can aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines use this Iron Curtain device? Oh, and arsenal ships can also use it." Qi Yiming asked.

    Academician Zhao said: "Theoretically, these ship types can be equipped with Iron Curtain, but the tonnage of nuclear submarines, especially attack nuclear submarines, is still a little smaller. If they want to install an Iron Curtain generator, the minimum tonnage must be 10,000 tons. In fact, the aircraft carrier  If you want to go to the Iron Curtain, it must be at the expense of its hangar space. It is probably not cost-effective to equip the existing ships with the Iron Curtain. I suggest that we develop new large platforms to use it."

    Sun Jingnu also interjected: "Weapons such as nuclear submarines are actually not useful in the Iron Curtain. They are hidden in the ocean and have less chance of being attacked by the enemy. If there is a war, they definitely don't want to defend it.  The enemy attacks, but how to attack the enemy first, so there is no need.

    And large aircraft carriers are likely to become the target of enemy fire, so it is necessary to equip the Iron Curtain.  However, we have calculated that a nuclear aircraft carrier with a size similar to the Nimitz class of almost 100,000 tons is required to ensure the attack capability of the current Type 62.  If it were to be upgraded to a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, it would probably have to be at least 10,000 to 20,000 tons.

    Relatively speaking, I think it is most necessary for the arsenal ship to be equipped with the Iron Curtain. As a mobile weapons depot on the sea, the risk of being attacked by the enemy is too high. In fact, it is somewhat similar to the battleships of World War I and World War II in pursuit of defensive capabilities.  It is better to attack the enemy, so the Iron Curtain has a huge effect on arsenal ships.

    Academician Zhao also said: "Although the Iron Curtain is easy to use, it cannot be used all the time. Putting aside the large size and high energy consumption of this device, the time it can last for a time is only about five minutes, so  Commanders are more particular about when to activate the Iron Curtain, which they still need to explore on their own. On the other hand, after the Iron Curtain is opened, it takes at least three hours for a round of cooling before it can be activated again, so the Iron Curtain does not need to be activated again.  It¡¯s equal to complete invincibility.¡±

    Qi Yiming was not surprised by this. Every weapon has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of the Iron Curtain is extremely obvious, that is, it is invulnerable, but the disadvantages are also obvious and the durability is not enough.

    He asked again: ¡°For such a complex equipment, I¡¯m afraid a large maintenance team needs to be left on board, right?

    Sun Jingnu nodded and said: "This is inevitable. The Iron Curtain device is a product of our advanced technology development. Instability exists. Only by keeping an eye on it can we ensure its reliability."

    This is not surprising to Qi Yiming, because the Iron Curtain is considered a super weapon in Red Alert, and the Black Technology Research Center has turned it into a specific actual combat auxiliary weapon, which is too far ahead.  This technology is different from other advanced and unstable technologies. Even if it is unstable and has poor reliability, the effect it produces once it is used is so outstanding that no one is willing to give up this trump card, even if  This is when he may not be functioning properly.

    In battles in naval battles, I will kill you before you kill me. Damage control is also a very important task. As long as the ship does not sink, I still have hope of defeating the opponent. Therefore, as soon as the Iron Curtain is mounted,  It is bound to be very popular among the naval faction.

    In fact, there is still a small flaw in the Iron Curtain, that is, when the force field shield is opened, not only the artillery shells and missiles from outside cannot be fired in, but also the artillery shells and missiles inside cannot be fired out, completely isolating the inside and outside. This must have an impact.  For combat purposes, equipment such as an aircraft carrier has no combat capability itself. As long as it protects itself, it provides the carrier-based aircraft with the ability to continue fighting.

    Furthermore, Qi Yiming is also stepping up the development of light prism weapons. For example, after the arsenal ship is equipped with the Iron Curtain device, although it can no longer fire artillery shells and missiles, it can still destroy enemies at relatively close range by using the light prism cannon.

    Qi Yiming then negotiated with Academician Zhao and others to redesign a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with an Iron Curtain device. However, the country currently does not have the ability to build an arsenal ship. Qi YimingMing planned to bring the Iron Curtain device, get the light prism cannon, and hand it over to the Red Alert Base and Red Alert engineers for integration to create the 2.0 version of the Arsenal Ship.

    The Iron Curtain can not only be used on large naval ships, but can also protect some important land bases, headquarters agencies, etc., such as some very important nuclear facilities. It is very suitable to have an Iron Curtain for protection. In the event of war, the other party  Attacking one's own civilian nuclear facilities without mercy can be regarded as a precaution.

    Dividing line

    While Qi Yiming was observing the Iron Curtain, the Navy was also inspecting a new piece of equipment. This equipment also came from the Red Alert Base, but because it was somewhat non-mainstream, it had not been on the Navy's radar for a long time.  In recent times, the Navy has been busy developing overseas bases, and its requirements for offshore operations have become more stringent and require new improvements, so it has invited tenders for some relatively new and specific weapons.

    The Thunder submarine they observed was obviously one of them.

    The Thunder Submarine is the only naval combat unit used by Yuri¡¯s camp in Red Alert 2. After being realized, it will be a small submarine with a displacement of less than 30 tons.  This submarine is very different from ordinary submarines. Its shape is not drop-shaped or whale-shaped, but shark-shaped.  This shark shape is literally a shark shape. At first glance, this submarine really looks like a huge shark floating on the water.

    The appearance of this submarine is highly in line with bionics, and it uses a lot of advanced technologies and is extremely quiet. What¡¯s even more rare is that its underwater maneuverability is not comparable to that of ordinary submarines.  The maximum submersible speed of the boat can reach 6 knots, and it can perform very complex direction changes underwater, with excellent maneuverability.  In addition, because of its small size, this kind of submarine can move in extremely shallow waters. In order to move in shallow water, this submarine is also designed with wheeled maneuverability. In theory, it can rush directly to the beach from a dive with a small slope. In this way, she  There is no fear of being stranded at all.

    Also because of its beach-washing characteristics, the Thunder submarine can be used as a landing and infiltration equipment for special operations forces, and can send special operations forces to enemy territory without anyone noticing.

    In terms of weapons, the Thunder submarine is not equipped with anything particularly powerful because of its small body. It has a pair of light torpedo launch tubes that can attack ships of smaller tonnage. In addition, it also has four small vertical launch units.  It can launch light anti-ship missiles, and even this vertical launch system can launch a medium and short-range submarine-launched anti-aircraft missile.  The missile is called Thorn 6 and has a range of 3 kilometers, but it can be launched from underwater, making it impossible for ordinary aircraft to predict in advance where it will be attacked on the sea.

    Small size inevitably has poor endurance, and it is impossible to obtain a relatively large shallow depth. Even the underwater sonar detection capability is not as good as that of larger submarines. However, if a large submarine encounters a Thunder submarine at close range, it will suffer. The Thunder submarine is worse than  Ordinary large submarines are more than twice as fast, and they are good at hiding and can hide in shallow water. If enemy submarines are active near the sea, they will only be hunted by a group of thundering submarines.

    Since the pL navy has a large number of landing ships, as well as a large number of nuclear submarines and conventionally powered submarines, there is no urgent need for weapons such as thunder, which are mainly responsible for base defense and landing and penetration weapons for near-shore activities. However, as the navy's overseas bases become more and more  There are many, and they are not like operating too many large-scale inshore defense forces. The small but powerful Thunder submarine obviously meets their requirements.

    A base equipped with 6 submarines, coupled with 056 corvettes and helicopters, can defend the base like an iron barrel.

    However, the manufacturing process of Thunder submarines is still a bit complicated. Although the technology has been transferred to the military ships, the military ships will not be manufactured for a while. Therefore, the Navy currently places an order for 2 Qi Yiming submarines and is preparing to obtain them for experimental training, and then  Equipment is located at naval bases in Gwadar and Hambantota ports.

    The global strategy formulated by Qi Yiming has begun to take shape. At the same time, China's overseas bases are mainly in the Indian Ocean, and may gradually spread to the Atlantic region.  In addition, there are Chinese naval and air bases in Romania on the Mediterranean. Next, in Yugoslavia, China is also interested in building an army barracks to station thousands of Chinese soldiers.

    China is advancing its grand strategy step by step, while the United States is eagerly preparing to invade Peru. After more than two months of preparation, the US military fleet consisting of three aircraft carrier battle groups set off from the US Naval Base in San Diego and headed south.  Crossed the equator and came to the southern hemisphere, and began their combat mission on the coast of Peru.
