Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 454 A Super Big Piece of Cake! (First Update!)

To stay far ahead, this ship needs to be a well-rounded vessel, with all its attributes enhanced.

Speed ​​is essential to maneuver at sea and to be able to fight and move freely.

Firepower must be fierce; the goal is to wipe out the entire enemy force as soon as you see them. Only when the enemy is dead can you better protect your teammates.

You need to have sharp eyes, able to spot the other party from thousands of kilometers away, and keep track of their every move, whether it's in the sky, on the sea, or underwater.

We must also make ourselves invisible to the enemy's radar!
Only when you can't see someone can you silently walk up to their face, pull out a knife, and quietly stab them, or you can just follow them around and watch without pulling out a knife!

Just ask if you are afraid!
With a clear direction, Lin Yi stood up, went to the window, and began to move his body in the light from outside.

I need to draw a sketch later, which requires my full attention. I must be focused!

After exercising for about 10 minutes to get himself into peak condition, Lin Yi returned to his computer, took a deep breath, opened the software, and began drawing ship blueprints.

He was drawing while muttering to himself.

The ship must be long and big!
But it can't be too big either, because if it's too big, it won't be easy to turn around on the sea.

A standard displacement of 1.5 to 2 tons is sufficient.

arms……

Missiles, naval guns, close-in weapon systems, laser weapons, drones, and biomimetic unmanned equipment—all of these must be installed.

Install it first, design a top-of-the-line configuration, and then gradually reduce the configuration based on the top-of-the-line configuration.

missile……

All of them are hypersonic missiles. I don't need anything else. All I need is to be powerful enough to fly. As long as I'm fast enough, no one can defeat me.

Naval guns...

125mm is sufficient. Too large, and it wastes shells and storage space; too small, and it lacks deterrent power.

The 125mm gauge fits perfectly, not too much, not too little.

Close-in weapon system (CIWS)...

Old Tan said that the laboratory responsible for the close-in weapon system research was very successful. When the time comes, ask them for a design drawing and directly replace the materials. This will greatly improve the strength and power of this thing.

Laser weapons...

This thing must be configured. In Han Feizi's philosophy, the spear and the shield are two incompatible problems, but in modern times, they are two completely compatible problems, and very compatible at that.

Drones: are they your own spear, or the sharpest spear?

Therefore, the strongest shield must be made by oneself, and even if it is made by someone else, it must be the strongest shield.

With a spear in his left hand, a shield in his right, and a helmet on his head, he would be invincible.

After compiling the information here, Lin Yi added six more words next to the laser weapon.

Electromagnetic pulse weapons

In the decades before, a few years earlier, during the military parade, the country would display some advanced weapons to show our international friends what it meant to have no side to lose.

But I don't know when it started, those weapons...

It has never changed since.

Every year it's the same weapons, they look pretty much the same, the colors are pretty much the same, as for what's inside, I have no idea what they are.

I've never seen that thing used in actual combat.

Electromagnetic pulse weapons are one such type.

This thing first appeared in a military parade. It didn't have a separate formation; it was mixed in with the army's electronic warfare battalion and was completely inconspicuous.

If it weren't for the separate shot, no one would have guessed that it was an electromagnetic pulse weapon.

Since that incident, the electromagnetic pulse weapons that have appeared in every military parade seem to be the same vehicle, with the same shape and similar color. They are still mixed in with the army's electronic warfare battalion, inconspicuous and unnoticed.

There are no combat records of this thing outside, and its power is unknown.

This thing is said to be a special weapon against electronic products, an invincible electronic product killer. In the face of this electromagnetic pulse weapon, arrogant drones are just a piece of cake.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yi grabbed an A4 sheet of paper, took a pencil, and drew the electromagnetic pulse weapon from his memory on the paper.

Fortunately, he wasn't good at much else, but he had a good memory and hadn't lost his skill in using a ruler, which he had developed over the years.

In less than half an hour, the wheeled electromagnetic pulse weapon I remembered was vividly depicted on the paper.

I stared at this thing for a long time, went over the relevant technical points of electromagnetic pulse weapons in my mind twice, and then typed the information into the blueprints.

Finally, the compiled data arrived at the drone.

A large, long-endurance fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle is a must-have for a qualified missile destroyer.

We need to make two models.

One is fully electric, and the other is powered by gasoline.

The payload capacity should be strong, and you should carry as many bombs as possible to kill all the targets so you don't have to protect your teammates.

In addition to large fixed-wing drones, small swarm drones are also needed...

Having compiled the information, Lin Yi was faced with another problem.

Due to their size, swarm drones cannot guarantee sufficient battery life. Even with high-performance batteries, their size still limits their ability to operate over long distances.

We need to add a carrier.

He wasn't worried about not finding a suitable medium, but rather because he had too many mediums to choose from.

Swarm drones can be loaded into missiles, allowing the missiles to transport the drones to enemy territory and detonate them like cluster bombs. However, instead of small, free-falling bombs, the drones that fall are small, freely flying drones.

Just thinking about that scene is terrifying.

Besides missiles, it can also be mounted on unmanned speedboats.

A fully enclosed unmanned speedboat sped across the sea. As it approached the enemy, the cover on top of the speedboat suddenly opened, and a dozen or even dozens of drones flew out from under the cover and crashed into the enemy target.

Even more terrifying.

If you were to modify the engine of this speedboat to match the configuration used by smugglers, just thinking about it would make you break out in a sweat and shudder.

Of course, this isn't the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing is that drones emerge from underwater.

A ship was sailing along peacefully when suddenly several drones emerged from the water, landed directly in the cockpit, and exploded.

Who can bear this?
After thinking it over, Lin Yi wrote down all three configurations.

Anyway, this ship is 2 tons, so there's plenty of space. We can load everything together, and at worst, we can reduce the specifications later.

When the words "unmanned bionic device" appeared on the weapons configuration list, Lin Yi rolled up his sleeves.

Unmanned bionic devices are more insidious and ruthless than drones.

Because underwater, you can only see things within a few dozen meters most of the time.

Imagine the terror of something that looks like a shark on radar turning out to be a bomb when it's right in your face.

After setting up the fixed weapons, Lin Yi's attention turned to the ship itself. The best steel had to be used; only in this way could it withstand the extremely high maneuverability, withstand the enemy's weapons, and kill more enemies.

The paint on the outside of the skin must be able to absorb electromagnetic waves; only in this way can the entire ship be concealed.

Antennas shouldn't protrude; protruding antennas are like "wind-catching ears," which easily attract enemies...

window……

Windows shouldn't protrude, nor should they have excessively large glass areas; otherwise, the paint job will be wasted.

As for power... the power system is fully electric, which eliminates the need for the large shafts inside the cabin, creating enough space to accommodate more equipment.

We need to improve the efficiency of gas turbines and the power generation efficiency of generators.

As for the rest, just do whatever you want with the space.

Those who can work on the ship are the most elite warriors. Pigs can run away, vegetables can fall, but my friend, as the most elite warrior, must learn to hold onto his bed even in his sleep.

Working late into the night, Lin Yi finally finished organizing the general data and drawings, took a deep breath, and opened the system.

New project number 0001, destroyer.

The project was created successfully, and the data and rough drawings were imported with one click.

[The project has been successfully established. Based on a comprehensive evaluation, it is determined that the project requires an investment of 3.2 million RMB in research and development. Should this research and development funding be allocated?]

Lin Yi did not confirm, but instead closed the system panel, stretched, and began to organize the data.

It's late, time to sleep.

Just as I finished organizing the documents, I heard a series of light footsteps and conversations at the door.

The voices are from both a man and a woman.

The female voice is Ji Shuangshuang, and the male voice is Gao Hai.

As the door opened, the two people arrived at the doorway. Upon seeing Lin Yi, Ji Shuangshuang held up the thermos she was carrying.
"Shrimp and crab rice porridge. I noticed you hadn't gone home yet and were still working overtime, so I asked the cook to help me cook it."

"Do you want it hot, or cooled down a bit?"

As they spoke, the insulated container was opened, and the steam that had been trapped inside burst out instantly, spreading the aroma of the shrimp and crab rice porridge everywhere.

Lin Yi touched the temperature and nodded gently: "Let it cool down a bit!"

He pushed the thermos aside and then turned to look at Gao Hai:

"Are you very free?"

Gao Hai shook his head slightly, "I'm not free!"

"Then what are you doing here?"

Lin Yi's question made Gao Hai roll his eyes. He pointed to the ground beneath his feet and loudly reminded him:

"Brother, this shipyard is nominally under the jurisdiction of the 80515 Research Institute, which in turn belongs to the General Armament Department."

"I'm here to conduct an inspection!"

"Understand?"

"However, I did come here to talk to you about something." Gao Hai instantly regained his composure, opened his briefcase, and took out a document:
"We know you're short on funds, and we also know you're short on staff."

"The General Armament Department helped you coordinate a sum of money, not much, 1.2 million RMB. Then, they also helped you coordinate a group of people who can help you set up the initial framework of the shipyard."

"As for whether you want to replace him later, that's your decision."

"These two documents, one is the receipt, and the other is a list of people we can coordinate with. Take a look, and if you're sure you need these people, just one phone call and they'll all be delivered to you."

Gao Hai had two documents in his hand, both sealed in brown paper bags. The payment document was on top, and the personnel list was on the bottom.

The payment documents were flimsy, while the list of personnel filled a bulging brown paper bag, looking like it was about to burst.

After receiving the two documents, Lin Yi handed the payment document to Ji Shuangshuang for her to handle, while he himself took the personnel list, sat down at the computer, and carefully reviewed it.

While he was looking at the documents, Gao Hai wandered around, looking around like a curious child. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the documents on the table and the computer screen that was still on.

The diagrams in those documents clearly depict a warship, and the software open on the computer screen further suggests that it is a destroyer.

Xiaomi Heavy Industry Group's first guided-missile destroyer!

This……

This is interesting no matter how you look at it. Given Lin Yi's personality and their technology, the ships they want to build will definitely be highly capable, leaving existing ships far behind, and perhaps even surpassing the new missile destroyers being researched by various research institutes, as well as their subsequent pre-developed new ships.

He leaned against the desk, placed his right hand on it, and then his five fingers seemed to grow their own consciousness, each tapping incessantly as they slowly moved toward the pile of documents on the desk.

When Gao Hai actually touched the pile of documents, he quickly turned his gaze to Lin Yi.

Finding that Lin Yi's attention was entirely on the list, he gently bent two fingers, pinched the top document, and withdrew his hand, the top document fell into his hand.

This document is a rough layout of the bottom of the ship's cabin. At a glance, Gao Hai noticed that the bottom of the cabin did not have those large shafts.

The original location of the main shafts has been replaced by several evenly spaced generators. Without those main shafts, the space inside the cabin looks exceptionally spacious.

These spacious areas were also furnished with other things.

Gao Hai slowly put down the documents, glanced back at Lin Yi who was still looking at the list: "All-electric drive?"

"Ok!"

"Have the technical issues been resolved?"

"It can be solved!"

"Oh—" Gao Hai responded with a long sigh, picked up another document, and casually flipped through it.

This document happens to be about electromagnetic pulse weapons, and at the very top is a hand-drawn electromagnetic pulse truck by Lin Yi in pencil.

The art style is very science-oriented; a fairly well-drawn sketch is filled with various data annotations.

It leaves one unsure whether to appreciate the painting or focus on the data first.

Gao Hai paid no attention to anything else; he only noticed the sentence written in pencil in the lower left corner of the drawing:
Electromagnetic pulse weapon!

This time, he lost his composure. He turned around abruptly and waved the draft in his hand at Lin Yi: "You can even make an electromagnetic pulse weapon?"

"You're telling me this is just something you scribbled on a whim, right?"

"Your vehicle looks to be at most 6 meters long, and I estimate its maximum weight is only 20 tons. 20 tons, I'll give you 10 tons for these shells, and the remaining 10 tons, tell me, if you put them all in batteries, how long can they last?"

"If it won't last long, what's the point of this electromagnetic pulse weapon?"

"Also, I have learned some basic knowledge."

"The simplest, most direct and effective way to cripple equipment on a large scale and burn out the enemy's electronic components is a graphite bomb."

"As for electromagnetic pulses, that would require nuclear weapons, but even the battery pulse from a nuclear explosion can't last long."

"And now you suddenly tell me that you designed this thing, that you have the ability to make it."

"You're definitely joking, right?"

"You're definitely making empty promises, not actually making them, right?"
