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

Li Ming's heart surged as he listened; indeed, professional military industry talents understood his thoughts best.

The significance of solid-state batteries was truly immense.

"Elder Qian, if our current conventional submarines used this latest type of solid-state battery, how long could they stay submerged?"

Elder Qian adjusted his glasses and said, "Chief, the most common method for current conventional submarines is to surface and use diesel engines to recharge.

In this case, they can travel approximately 2700 nautical miles on a full charge, of course, this also depends on the liquid batteries used."

"If solid-state batteries are used instead of liquid batteries, the endurance of solid-state batteries of the same volume is at least 4 to 5 times greater.

If we also use our latest silent diesel engine, our conventional submarines will have an endurance comparable to nuclear submarines and can operate underwater for extended periods."

"Solid-state batteries have enormous military application prospects and are a direction for development..."

Conventional submarines possessing endurance comparable to nuclear submarines was simply incredible, but in reality, it was achievable.

Of course, this was only for conventional submarines.

Now was the end of the world, and in the apocalypse, ordinary submarines were not enough, but specially customized doomsday submarines were!

After listening to their assessment of solid-state batteries, Li Ming made some decisions. Next, he asked the second question: "Two experts, what do you think of this Hurricane-class doomsday submarine?"

Elder Zhao said, "Chief, this Hurricane-class doomsday submarine is a very special piece of equipment, specifically designed for doomsday survival.

To some extent, it is already a highly specialized piece of equipment. It can be said that this Hurricane-class doomsday submarine can completely allow people to live inside for a long time."

"This submarine, purely from the data, still has great reference significance for our existing naval vessels, such as the submarine's hull material, special sound-absorbing tiles, and various other facilities."

"Of course, purely in terms of the submarine's performance itself, it is a submarine that combines survivability and combat capability, with an underwater range of up to 15,000 nautical miles."

"Although it falls within the category of conventional submarines, its fuel efficiency is also very superb. To some extent, it can compete with strategic-class submarines.

We must develop this submarine to lay the foundation for building our navy in the future!"

Li Ming nodded. Apart from anything else, the doomsday survival capability alone was enough for Li Ming to develop and put it into production.

After discussing these issues, Elder Qian asked a question, "Chief, you've even proposed the design方案 for a doomsday submarine. Is the situation really going to deteriorate to this extent?"

"Elder Qian, who knows when this apocalypse will end? Who can guarantee what natural disasters will happen in the future? We must ensure that the organization has sufficient survivability and military strength."

"It's always good to be prepared!" Li Ming said meaningfully.

"Yes, Chief. I estimate you'll see our results within a year. Once we have a naval shipyard, we can truly produce surface ships! However, due to our technological advancements, we've come up with a design方案 for a transport aircraft and a bomber," Elder Zhao suddenly said about their design方案.

"Hmm?" Li Ming was puzzled. "Transport aircraft and bomber?"

"Yes, Chief. The data from the Mirage fighter has greatly improved our industrial capabilities. Therefore, we have drawn on the engine design concept of the Mirage fighter and special alloy materials to produce transport aircraft and bombers with better performance at the same cost!"

Li Ming's interest was piqued by Elder Zhao's words. "Elder Zhao, tell me about the situation!"

"Yes, currently, the transport aircraft we designed, according to our calculations of the engine and new alloy materials, can reach a deadweight of about 120 tons, a maximum takeoff weight of 750 tons, and a maximum payload of 300 to 400 tons."

"Of course, this is just a theoretical calculation. The actual application may be affected by the aircraft design, but overall, such a transport aircraft can deploy approximately a fully armed light composite battalion or a light infantry regiment of about 1,500 people at a time."

"Our setting for the range of this transport aircraft is 21,000 kilometers without aerial refueling."

Li Ming was confused by the performance of this thing. "You two, are you sure this thing can really be developed and manufactured? This thing is a huge test of industrial manufacturing capabilities!"

"Chief, currently, our problems in terms of production and manufacturing are not significant, after all, there are the world's most advanced industrial equipment here.

Including a 200,000-ton terminal hydraulic press, various wind tunnel testing equipment, etc., so we have no problem in production, mainly in design."

"However, this Mirage fighter has provided us with many good ideas, allowing our technology to be upgraded, so we dare to propose building this super giant aircraft!"

Elder Zhao's words were not nonsense. To know that the largest transport aircraft that can be produced with the current industrial production capacity of Baltan Planet is this level, but the range and other aspects of performance are discounted.

However, because Li Ming has system data and various advanced material treatments, they dare to engage in this kind of thing.

"You two, let me ask, although we can produce it, how many of these large transport aircraft do you plan to produce?"

"About 20, of course, we will also carry out corresponding other more practical designs for this transport aircraft, which can take off and land in a short distance. Also, there are about 20 strategic bombers!" The two experts said.

The number of 20 is acceptable, Li Ming can accept it.

However, Li Ming is more inclined to some medium-sized transport aircraft, such as those of the Il-76 level, which are the main force.

Moreover, the production and manufacturing difficulty is not so great, the technology is more mature, the application is more extensive, and the production and maintenance costs are lower.

"You two, I feel that we should produce more transport aircraft with a maximum load capacity of 80 to 120 tons. This type of transport aircraft has more mature technology, lower production and manufacturing costs, and wider applicability.

Military equipment emphasizes practicality and cost-effectiveness, don't you think so?" Li Ming also put forward his own ideas.

"Chief, that's right! We are currently only producing a small number of these super-large transport aircraft as a technology reserve. The mainstream is still this type of transport aircraft!" The two experts agreed on this point.
