Chapter 725

In the narrow and closed bridge, operators are sitting in front of the equipment, staring at their screens.

The officers sitting in the captain's position are slightly uncomfortable. Although they have been on the ship for several days, as army officers, they are still not used to this naval bridge.

"Pilot, report our current position." it seems that in order to alleviate the discomfort caused by this small habit, the captain asked the pilot who was operating the radar.

Because the bridge is small, there are not many people on the bridge. In addition to the captain himself, there are only four people: the helmsman, the communication officer, the first mate and the navigator asked by the captain.

"We are now at XX degrees east longitude and XX degrees north latitude. The radar shows that everything is normal." the pilot glanced at the radar and reported to the captain.

Listening to the pilot's answer, the captain clearly nodded his head and asked, "how far are we from our destination?"

"According to the radar, we are still about 80 kilometers away from the destination. At our current forward speed, we will arrive in six hours." the pilot just measured the distance on the radar and gave an accurate reply to the captain.

The captain could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was still a little nervous about carrying out such a task for the first time, but now he was relieved to hear that he would arrive at his destination in six hours.

The vehicle he was driving, or warship, was the land ship newly equipped to the army.

However, this is not a newly built warship, but Chen Xin transformed it with those warships frozen in the military port.

Its prototype is an old navy warship. After Chen Xin's upgrading, it has now become a land ship.

The ship body and the original ship body of the navy have been greatly changed. There are four more tracks under the original ship body as the traveling mechanism, and the bow part has been transformed into a huge dock to accommodate the tanks, armored vehicles and other vehicles carried on the ship.

As for the part of the deck, because the bow did not need to break the waves, it was also changed from the original pointed head to flat head, and the armament was strengthened at the same time.

The original naval gun on the front deck has been upgraded and a double mounted 75mm electromagnetic gun has been installed, while the original missile launch port on the deck has been moved to the rear deck. At the same time, the bridge has been moved forward after shrinking, making the deck more compact and compact.

In addition to the missile launch port, the original helicopter hangar and take-off and landing platform are retained on the rear deck.

In addition, two single mounted 75mm electromagnetic guns were added on the side, and the original smoke exhaust pipe was removed.

After all, after the replacement of the new nuclear power system, there is no need for the original huge oil tank and engine room, nor for the huge chimney.

As a result of this transformation, the original 100 meter long ship body has been shortened to only more than 70 meters, and the hull has become low and compact.

However, because the original ship type of the ship was a destroyer, after it was transformed into a land ship, Chen Xin did not change its purpose, but took it as an implementation plan for a small mobile base used to maintain the border discussed with the military before.

The original helicopter hangar on board is still reserved, but Chen Xin also installed the 3D printing equipment here.

Usually, this is the hangar for parking the helicopter, but when necessary, you can move the helicopter to the take-off and landing platform at the stern, and then turn this into a 3D printing workshop for printing what you need.

The reason why the two are combined is also to save space. After all, the whole ship is so large. In order to travel better on land, Chen Xin has also reduced the volume and length. Under the limited space, it is really impossible to set aside space for 3D printing.

At the same time, after Chen Xin's upgrading, the number of pilots required by the land ship has also decreased greatly, and the number of necessary passengers has even been pressed down to less than 50 by Chen Xin.

However, according to previous military requirements, in addition to the crew, the land ship is also equipped with an enhanced aircraft company for border patrol and other combat tasks.

According to the original plan, they will arrive at the border area of Inner Mongolia, establish three permanent strongholds in the border area and resume border patrol, and this land ship is the support for them to implement this plan.

For the tasks assigned by the military, the captain did not have any ideas other than completing the tasks.

As a soldier, obeying orders is a bounden duty, not to mention the task of defending the country.

But the captain was still worried about how to better complete the task.

After all, whether it's equipment or mission, or the environment in which the mission is performed, it's the first time for the captain. He really doesn't know how to establish a permanent stronghold in such an icy and snowy environment.

Although before departure, the military equipped the land ship with a scientific officer specially responsible for this matter and an engineering team assigned to the ship, the captain also had detailed communication with each other these days and learned that the 3D printing equipment provided to them was the key to completing this task.

But for the captain, in the face of areas he had never touched, he still had no bottom in his heart.

Just as a soldier, he retreated in the face of difficulties, which is really not a qualified soldier. Therefore, although he has no bottom in his heart, he still firmly believes that he will successfully complete the task.

Just after the captain considered whether to rotate with the chief mate later, he went to the science officer to ask about the establishment of a permanent stronghold, but the communication officer on the side suddenly opened his mouth and reported: "report to the captain, ship 2 sent a communication, asking whether it is necessary to speed up the progress and arrive at the target site earlier."

After hearing the inquiry of ship 2, the captain thought about it and said to the communication officer, "reply to ship 2 and maintain the current forward speed."

The captain did not agree to the proposal of ship 2. Although they are advancing at cruising speed, they can indeed advance to full speed to reach the target site about an hour in advance, for the sake of safety, the captain decided to maintain the current speed.

This land ship is not advancing alone. There are three other land ships around him, but only ship No. 2, which sent communication, is on the border garrison mission like this land ship.

The other two land-based ships have different configurations from them and will continue to move forward to catch up with the land-based aircraft carrier that has gone to Lucia and go to Europe as the escort formation of the aircraft carrier.

Therefore, considering the requirements of formation advance, the captain does not intend to accelerate and everything is safe.
