Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 251 The ultimate ghost, construction begins (please subscribe!)

So what is the role of the medieval swept-wing technology reserves?

Clicking on the second-level page, Xia Yu began to study the details carefully and found that it could provide the ability to deduce the direction of the swept wing design when the fighter aircraft was modified and upgraded.

He used the system's fighter modification function, mostly by integrating and dismantling parts to improve the offensive performance of the aircraft, and did not involve modifying the fuselage structure to improve the performance of the aircraft.

After all, if a bug is corrected in a vehicle, it will be a strike at most. If a flying vehicle is diverted, it will lose control and crash.

Xia Yu has always been relatively conservative. Apart from adding normal pods and upgrading radar fire control, he has not forcibly changed the aerodynamic layout of a fighter jet.

Now that he has the medieval swept-wing technology reserves to help him out, he seems to be able to do things that he didn't dare to do in the past.

For example, Xia Yu has always been thinking about the F-4 (FV)S - the ultimate ghost.

This was a project that almost edged out the F-14 Tomcat. Although there was no competition, it was still a pity that it was stillborn.

Now, he seems to have the ability to promote this project alone and transform a real swept-wing ghost.

There are still two versions, the F-4J(FV)S based on the F-4J, and the F-4K(FV)S Ultimate Spey Phantom based on the F-4K.

Back then, McDonnell Douglas also used this project to deceive the navy of the Ying Kingdom and the Ying family, but Angsarao was so shrewd.

I worked on the AFVG project together with the people from China, and even though they parted ways in the end, they got back together and created a mass-produced wind.

The Gallic Chicken, who was fighting alone, did not go well, and he created Dassault's broken-winged angel-Phantom G.

To be honest, Xia Yu, who shot down all French fighter jets, is not very interested in the Mirage 2000 of the Mirage Dynasty, but who makes him a fan of swept wings?

So as long as I have the chance, I still want to buy a twin-engine single-seat Mirage G4 and a twin-engine two-seat Mirage G8 (sub-model 01 two-seat, 02 single-seat).

The performance of this Gallic Tomcat was very good at the time, but unfortunately the cost was too high and it could not compete with the single-engine Phantom F1. The entire project was canceled in 1975.

Since then, after the complete failure of the Dassault-Balzac project, the Chinese have been unable to have their own vertical/short takeoff and landing fighter jets, nor their own variable-sweep wing fighter jets.

This is exactly the opposite of what the Magnesians did, giving up the Ultimate Ghost, which saves money, and launching the more expensive Tomcat.

How can I put it, if you don't have money, don't do fancy things? This has become a truth in the world. It's better to just play delta wing.

Xia Yu is different. He has a system and plays with scarcity. Only in this way can he be strong.

Time flies very quickly once a person starts to get serious. By the time he roughly browses through the contents of these technical reserves, the little antelope has already arrived at the cave sub-base.

This time he came to Xiayu for more than just flying. He had read the almanac before coming out and said that today was the day to break ground, pray for blessings, and offer sacrifices.

That happened to happen. He entered the cave and put the shield machine that had been idle for a long time into the No. 1 garage with a wave of his hand, and put it into the modification laboratory together with the heavy oil boiler, steam turbine unit, and oil storage tank.

[Discovered vehicle × 1, effective modification parts × 3, can be modified]

"Modification!"

Xia Yu chooses OK, and a progress bar pops up.

[Estimated remaining man-hours for modification: 3.5]

It's not a major overhaul and integration, it's just an energy supply adaptation, so it doesn't take much man-hours, but the amount of copper material will be relatively large.

Taking advantage of this period, he moved the tanks and aircraft in the center of the cave to the entrance of the cave, and covered them with tarpaulins.

After finishing all these tasks, almost two hours passed.

Xia Yu took a sip of water and took a rest before returning to the little antelope and taking out a big rooster with wings tied from the passenger side.

These are the three-yellow chickens that Lao Yu raised freely in the village. He specifically asked to keep a few roosters without castration.

Needless to say, it goes without saying that breeding chicks with hens also has special uses.

In traditional Chinese culture, it is best to offer sacrifices before breaking ground. Xia Yu believes in science, but he is not resistant to metaphysics.

But forget about kowtowing to yourself. The main thing you worship is the land god and the mountain god.

If there is no corresponding one here in Afika, then worship the vegetation and tell them that the big one is coming.

In the deepest part of the cave, standing in front of the excavation point that had been marked long ago, Xia Yu lit three cigarettes and inserted them into the gravel, then took out the dagger on his leg and stabbed the big rooster directly in the neck.

"Oh~oh~oh~~~"

Amidst the shrill cries, warm chicken blood spurted out and seeped into the earth and stone. The rising smoke covered Xia Yu's face, which looked strange and solemn in the wide, deep, and quiet surroundings.

A bow!

Two bows!
Three bows!
After bowing, he straightened up.

"Okay, now that the sacrifice has been enjoyed, I'll treat it as if you all agreed."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he directly picked up the MG-34 that was removed from the later Tiger.

He forgot to bring the firecrackers, but it seemed that he could use a machine gun instead. He broke off 100 more rounds from the 12-round bullet chain, then pulled the bolt and loaded the gun.

"Crack~~"

"哃~哃~哃~~"

Xia Yu pulled the trigger to the end, fired 88 shots in a row, and started work!
Ignoring the bullet casings all over the ground, he directly released the adapted and powered hard rock excavation system.

To start a heavy oil boiler in normal steps, you must first inject diesel to preheat the heavy oil, and then boil water.

Heating dozens of tons of cold water to high-temperature steam of 400 degrees Celsius can support the operation of the steam turbine, but to be honest, such a process cannot be stopped even after 10 hours.

Fortunately, Xia Yu took a trick. He started the test machine directly in the laboratory module, heated the heavy oil, and the steam in the pipe became more powerful. After entering the impeller from the guide vane, it pushed it to rotate and perform work.

The steam turbine unit operating at low power began to output continuous and stable electric energy through the power generation auxiliary engine, awakening the tunneling beast not far away.

At this point, he can still get by on his own, but it will be a bit difficult to do it further. The good news is that Xia Yu also has an auxiliary driving module.

Quickly came to the control room of this compound shield machine. According to regulations, as long as the machine is running, there must be someone in the control room, but the same is true as long as the auxiliary driving module is inserted into the interface of the console.

"Om~~"

The cutterhead with a diameter of 15.6m is pressed against the rock wall, just like a giant insect opening its ferocious mouthparts, and the densely packed hobs are wedged into the rock mass under the squeeze.

The extremely hard basalt is directly "gnawed" and ground into fine rock powder. Only the rock mass on both sides of the knife tip is peeled into pieces of slag, which are then dropped into the screw conveyor and sent to the rear.

Under normal circumstances, all this debris would have to be hauled away by heavy trucks. But here in Xiayu, as long as there is a pile, it can be directly collected into the storage warehouse and the printing mode can be turned on to replenish the shield segments.However, it is only necessary to lay this thing after the shield machine has completely excavated into the rock mass, so the amount of work at the beginning was not bad.

It will be really troublesome to lay the shield segments and pour concrete mortar into the lifting holes later.

However, because it is hard rock, you don’t have to worry about the tunnel being dug out for a while. Unlike the paving work in soft soil, you have to keep up with the speed of excavation, otherwise you will be buried alive in minutes.

Then there is the issue of waterproofing.

Mountain excavation is fine, but if you encounter water-bearing strata underground in a plain, not only will the grouting equipment have to be modified, but the construction team will also have to deploy two divers to cope with the need for pressurized cabin operations.

This is also the reason why Xia Yu did not choose an open hard rock boring machine. The rock conditions at the cave sub-base are very good, there are no large broken zones or faults, and there is not much fissure water. However, he will not be able to dig bunkers in the future. .

Compound earth pressure balance is very good. It can be upgraded as new technologies and new functions are introduced. Xiayu will have plenty of time when the time comes.

In addition, if there is really no good location, the recently released "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" gave him inspiration.

After watching several movies, many people only saw that the hive was the source of the T-virus leak, but little did they know that there was another world beneath the hive.

The rich people and the executives of the Umbrella Company directly played a trick under the light. They dug another shelter underground in the hive that was already an underground base.

Even more ruthless than Thanos, they released the virus and brutally wiped out 99.9% of the world's humans. They entered the cryo chamber to hibernate, waiting for the virus to "purify" the world before restarting human civilization.

Regardless of this abnormal way of thinking, Xiayu can also dig down several thousand meters from the cave sub-base, just like the Mbonige gold mine in Xuanfei.

At present, the depth of this gold mine has exceeded 4000 meters, and it takes miners three hours to go back and forth from the surface to the bottom of the mine.

Except that the temperature below is a bit high, over 50 degrees Celsius, everything else is fine.

Xia Yu felt that 2000 meters would be enough, so he would change the entrance and go down diagonally. In this way, even if the cave sub-base was exposed, no one would be able to discover the bunker hidden directly below, which would give him a sense of security.

But don't worry, he has at least half a century to slowly dig out.

Imperial tombs are usually built after the emperor ascends the throne and continue until the emperor's death.

Xia Yu is still far from being the king of the PMC world at the moment. His personal wealth is not even comparable to that of many wealthy locals in Afika, so he has to continue to work hard.

"Om~~"

There is an auxiliary driving module that monitors the shield machine's hydraulic transmission, cutterhead excavation, and energy supply... Xia Yu felt at ease for a moment.

After all, the rated speed of the Bella cutterhead is only 2 revolutions per minute. Even if the machine is not afraid of loss and the performance is deliberately improved by 10%, it is only 2.2 revolutions.

By doing this, an average of 12 meters can be dug every day. After almost 30 days of work, 90% of the tunnel's engineering volume can be completed as planned.

It's a bit slow, but we can let the St. Paul set off first. The towing speed of the tugboat is less than 10 knots. In the past few days, he could make a round trip to the cave sub-base and the aircraft carrier every day.

After collecting a load of dirt, Xia Yu left the TBM, which was as tall as a small building, and returned to his collection.

The system now has spare man-hours and raw materials are readily available, so we can try to modify the ultimate ghost.

Xia Yu waved his hand and put the F-4J he collected into Hangar No. 2.

We have to go back to the Yingguo people and buy another batch of F-4Ks and F-4Js from them. The renovation and renovation of the St. Paul is calculated on an annual basis. The same goes for the number of fighter jets. Xia Yu can prepare in advance.

Buy two of each type of carrier-based aircraft. First gather a squadron of Phantoms. They can handle it whether it is carrying passengers or performing performances.

He had asked Alexei to help find the two-seater MiG-29. It had to be in good condition and of a new year.

The price can be a bit more expensive, Xiayu has checked online recently.

Ellison, the boss of Oracle, spent more than $90 million on a MiG-600 in the 29s.

Microsoft's Paul Allen, a well-known tycoon (who is willing to spend money) also bought a MiG-2011UB at a similar price in 29.

In recent years, the price has become even cheaper, and you can buy a two-seater MiG for only $465 million.

Of course, this is minus the weapons systems.

The modernized old pivot is still worth 1000 million.

For a plain machine that has not been modified and needs major repairs, Xiayu can price it at most 120 million to 180 million.

With an aircraft in this price range and in good condition, you should be able to make a profit of about 50 to 100 million if you buy it for about the same price as buying an airplane.

If you want to make more money, you must find a backer who can endorse you. Fighters are much more sensitive than ground equipment, so Xia Yu sells some arms part-time to avoid going into this muddy water anyway.

The number of MiG-29s is also 4, but due to the need to change to carrier-based aircraft, this MiG squadron will be launched half a year to a year after the third phase of the museum opens.

Although the goods are not available yet, Xia Yu has asked his hometown to reinforce the machine body, and a factory in the southwest will be responsible for it.

Compared with their counterparts in the north of the mainland, they are more familiar with the MiG series and can be said to be professional counterparts.

Furthermore, there is no need to participate in actual combat, and the requirements for many indicators of carrier-based aircraft are not high.

Xia Yu even gave up folding the wings. Anyway, the hangar of the St. Paul is large enough, and there are about 20 fighter jets on board. It can be loaded without folding.

Just think about it, at least 8 pilots must be hired. This is not an ordinary challenge. If you can support or ask for support, the St. Paul can also share the training pressure.

Before it was decommissioned, the two sides had such cooperation. Xia Yu was able to make the St. Paul move again, which was actually a surprise to his hometown.

Maybe this is commercialization!
Just because Basi people can't handle this ship doesn't mean that the business model is not feasible. Xiayu is exploring more possibilities and deserves support.

Behind the scenes, it is also inseparable from the support of the system.

F-4J was selected to start the modification deduction. A three-dimensional image of a fighter with variable swept wings and a MiG-23 style appeared in Xia Yu's mind.

The lower wing became a variable-sweep upper wing, the dihedral angle of the tail also disappeared, the position of the landing gear was also changed, and the engine was replaced.

This is a visible change, consistent with McDonnell Douglas's historical aerodynamic layout design for the Ultimate Phantom.

The expandable rear beveled air inlet and the trimmed nose give this F-4J (FV) S a bit of an F-14 flavor.

The bloodlines were all mixed together, and it just looked good. No matter who made the mistake that night, it gave the ultimate ghost a lot of mobility.

If he had been given this Phantom, Xia Yu would have dared to fight with the white-hatted Mirage 2000... no, the Mirage F1.

Persimmons need to be picked softly, and as long as they can reach beyond visual range, they will never fight with each other.

　Kavin, like Kuhn, loses his hair. . .It's time to change the map.
