Doesn't the defense of the city walls do much?How is this going.

Kong Huan, who was frowning tightly, did not feel too dissatisfied because of these words.

The experience from human society made him more aware that city walls began to be replaced by various temporary or permanent fortifications after humans entered the era of artillery fire.In many cases, the city wall has become a symbol, or an internal tool, rather than an external fortification.

But these things, he didn't say when he designed the city wall, he just mentioned the interaction effect between the current weapon and the city wall.

Not to hide, but not to need.

After all, this is the double-moon star, not human society. The enemies everyone faces are also many Zerg that focus on melee and short-to-medium range combat, instead of being equipped with long-range thermal weapons because of their frail bodies. of humans.

If you really want to fight, a dog can deal with more than a dozen ordinary human soldiers who have lost their guns and weapons. With their sabers and other weapons, it is difficult to cause damage to the dogs; but a human can deal with two or three dogs. The siege.

Of course, this does not mean that the original people among the friends can fight against dozens of people with the strength of one person when fighting against human soldiers. This is not the case.

In the same way, who can tell clearly that a city wall that can't hold many hot weapons and artillery can't produce useful effects when facing bugs?
At least in the analysis of the Military Academy, after considering the current situation of the bug specimens, it was concluded that when the city wall faced the attack of the bugs, the defenders on the city wall could gain a great advantage.

However, as front-line soldiers, most of the time their thoughts are even more accurate than the experts who stay in the rear most of the time and only come out to see if they need it. Therefore, Kong Huan did not stop Lieutenant Chen Xiao, but asked the other party to explain.

"Elder, please take a look..." It was no surprise that Kong Huan allowed him to continue talking. The lieutenant who didn't want to talk nonsense lightly patted the wall of the city wall passing by, and started his own explanation while leading the way.

"Our city walls, because of their size, couldn't be built with reinforced concrete at all from the very beginning. The steel consumption is astronomical. Even now that the cement is consumed, it is said that many large pits have been dug and disappeared. There are many mountains, and N rivers are widened."

"Ahem, after all, our clan's steel output is limited, and many of them are used for other purposes, and the original design purpose of the city wall was to isolate the inside and outside and keep animals out, so there is nothing we can do about it."

As an elder, Kong Huan certainly understood this aspect, because although he didn't need his instructions, he had read many documents.

Pengzu has only developed for such a short time. While the iron and steel industry is developing equally with other industries, because the development of science and technology and industry are integrated, it is impossible to favor one over the other.

Based on the calculations of the various industrial zones and G01 steel industrial zones that have been built, among the annual steel production, the output of crude steel has barely expanded to 100 million tons, and the output of various alloy steels is only about 7 tons.

However, construction everywhere needs steel support, especially the special alloy steel used for floating fortresses and warships.

Nowadays, the alloy steel needed for a single second-generation warship requires tens of thousands of tons, not to mention the floating fortress, which is calculated based on the six-figure demand for special steel.

And there are not a few other fragmented steel needs. Territorial floating islands need reinforcement, electromagnetic weapons need materials, and permanent buildings need steel bars... Although the output of 100 million tons seems to be okay, it can be divided into east and west. Move it a little, and it's gone almost in the blink of an eye.

It is conceivable how big the gap in Pengzu's existing steel production is.

But the current steel output is obviously not enough to satisfy everything.

Even if the production factories in various places work overtime, the construction of the factory takes time and cannot be completed overnight.

Of course, Pengzu is aware of these problems and is actively seeking solutions.

However, because each industrial area needs to be expanded, it is too busy. If the training system for the Moon Spirit technicians has not been established, so that there will be no shortage of personnel in the Pengzu, otherwise many managers of the government may jump to the floating island in a hurry.

"Today's industry is a whole. The problem of steel needs to be solved, and the problems of other industries must also be solved..."

After talking nonsense for a while, after mixing the core content once, Kong Huan said the real content: "G01's iron and steel industry is expanding, and it is expected to reach the design level of annual production of 150 tons in the middle of this year. I am afraid that some of the output will also..."

To give the lieutenant an expression that you have to understand, Kong Huan seemed very helpless.

The first model of the second-generation warship that needs to be refurbished because of the many problems exposed by Swordfish now requires nearly 3000 tons of special steel; Models also require nearly 6000 tons of special steel, as well as other raw materials that would like to be consumed.

But looking at these, Kong Huan knows that most of the steel production will probably be transferred to the construction of warships; even the important floating fortresses may only be ranked second, after all, the steel demand for that product is too great .

Therefore, the city wall consumes a lot of steel, but the actual effect is not very big. I am afraid that it is impossible to obtain a sufficient amount of steel in the short term.

Therefore, Kong Huan could only shake his head.

"I'm afraid there is no way to use steel bars for the city wall in the short term. Let's talk about your current situation, or there may be some practical methods."

Although he was probably prepared to draw such a conclusion in his heart, Lieutenant Chen Xiao still showed a hint of disappointment on his face.They serve as the city wall defense force, and it can be said that the city wall is their life support.

The better the walls, the safer they are.But sometimes, it's really not a question of who is right and who is wrong.Still the same sentence: It is not me who is wrong, but the world!
Why does this hateful world bring a bug here, so that the friends can develop slowly?
Shaking his head to shake off these regrets, the lieutenant adjusted his mood and continued to explain.

"The current city wall is purely cemented for defense, and its defensive performance is only a little stronger than that of rocks. Even if some materials such as: bamboo tendons, ductile waste residue, solid cement columns, etc. are added, and special building structures are designed to improve The defensive power of the city wall. From a distance, the city wall looks like a stretch of neat mountains."

"However, the actual defensive power of these tall city walls in the test can only withstand 200 consecutive shots from a certain point of the 5mm city defense gun; as for the 500mm super gun, although I don't know the specific strength of that gun, it is probably only one shot It's over."

(500mm, I really disappoint you, now my family can't make it.)
Kong Huan turned his head to look at it depressedly, because of the problem of energy output power, the energy demand of the 500mm gun is too large. This is not a question of how many electric cores to provide, but the need for materials such as circuits that can withstand such a large energy impact, Pengzu Haven't been able to make it yet.

Now the highest level of Pengzu is only 251mm gun, the 1 is still an error value added inexplicably.

But he didn't notice Kong Huan's expression, and at the same time didn't wait for Kong Huan and the others to ask, the lieutenant had already consciously explained what he said before.

"Actually, it is mainly because of the size and steel bars. The current city wall is actually a body without bones. It is close to the limit when it is built to this height. If it is taller, the width must be higher, but the slope must also be slowed down. , otherwise once a certain area is broken, it will affect a large section of the whole."

"Ignoring the astronomical demand for cement that increases in width, the mere slowing down of the slope will cause the meaning of the city wall to disappear. Although it looks like it, what we are building is not a mountain, but a city wall."

Whether it was Kong Huan or Chu Xia, after hearing this, they all began to frown.

I really don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. This looks like a towering and powerful city wall, but I didn't expect it to be more like a tofu project.

What's even more depressing is that the reason why this project has become tofu is not because corruption and cutting corners can be avoided, but because it is limited by the current overall industrial level of the Pengzu.

To put it simply, the city walls of these industrial areas of Pengzu, because of the height, the consideration of the enemy against them, and the length, have actually exceeded the level that Pengzu's current industrial level can achieve.

But, calm down and think about it carefully, how many things in the Pengzu are not like this now?
For the floating fortress, a group of people carefully calculated the impact of every tael added to the fortress, and even with this level of care, there were still problems;
Floating battleship, as the core pumice stone, its driving principle, in fact, no scientist has found a clue, people just know how to use it, not understand it.And as the provider of the mobile power of the warship designed by the friends, the magnetic field engine can only drive the warship to move laterally, but cannot support the spaceship to float in the air without the power of the pumice stone, and its strength is insufficient;

Electromagnetic gun, this thing seems to be the most known to everyone, but in fact, the existing electromagnetic gun design is more derived from the energy drive experience summed up by high-energy friends and individuals when using electromagnetic guns. External version, although the principle is simple, but the material limit is very high;
……

However, even with such and other problems, in the face of the current Zerg pressing every step of the way, the Friends have no choice but to stand up and use everything available to prepare for war against the Zerg.

Problems, as long as they are not urgent, as long as they will not create trouble after the bug appears, can be postponed.

Regardless of whether those strange things can be understood by the friends, as long as they know how to use them, as long as they will not cause real harm to the friends, as long as they can enhance the strength of the friends when fighting against bugs, they can be used.

One of the data: 60% of the industrial production of Pengzu, or 60% of the industrial production of Shuangyuexing, has turned to military industry.

This shows the preparations made by the Pengzu for the War of Resistance.
