Immediately afterwards, a 6.7-meter-long truck using a 6x6 high-mobility off-road chassis appeared on the screen.
"Hmm, is this the chassis of a truck-mounted artillery piece?"
Looking at the overall layout of the truck, Bai Jin felt inexplicably familiar with it.
"Not entirely. I adjusted the overall dimensions of the vehicle, and the parts compatibility reached 98.7%."
Immediately afterwards, Lorraine projected the data of the entire drone system onto the screen.

The vehicle is equipped with an adaptive hydraulic-pneumatic suspension system and shock absorbers to ensure maximum vehicle stability.
Both the front and rear of the vehicle are equipped with a drone take-off and landing platform with tethering and extension capabilities. The robotic arm responsible for maintaining the drones and loading ammunition is installed behind the power compartment, between the two take-off and landing platforms.

Maximum load: 200 kg
Maximum flight altitude: 8 kilometers
[Powertrain: High-performance solid-state battery]
This aircraft employs a coaxial twin-rotor design, using counter-rotating rotors to counteract the anti-torque effect, eliminating the need for a traditional tail rotor structure and effectively shortening the fuselage length.
The blended wing-body design with short wings increases internal space, allowing for additional power supplies and equipment modules.
【该机的模块化挂载系统兼容50公斤级空地飞弹(最大射程8公里,载弹量4枚)、70毫米航空火箭弹(载弹量8枚)以及50公斤级以下的各型制导炸弹。】
The aircraft's modular mounting system can also carry a 4th-generation infrared thermal imaging pod (detection range of 8 kilometers), a laser rangefinder (accuracy ±0.2 meters), and a high-definition television channel (resolution 1.5K).
This aircraft is equipped with a day/night all-weather reconnaissance system, capable of continuous monitoring of an area of 50 square kilometers, with data transmission latency of less than 200 milliseconds.
[This vehicle, serving as a collaborative combat node for 10-ton unmanned combat vehicles and firepower units, can share target information with firepower units within 10 seconds and coordinate attacks on 15 moving targets.]
After carefully reviewing the data of the entire drone system, Platinum nodded in satisfaction and incorporated it into the organization of this combined arms unit.
In this way, reconnaissance units, assault units, fire support units, combat support units, and air units are all in place, and the organization of the entire force is nearly complete.
However, the most troublesome thing is the organization of the air defense forces.
If there is a need, all unmanned combat vehicles now have electromagnetic cannons as their weapon systems, which are fully capable of performing air defense missions.
Platinum would still feel a serious sense of unease if a military unit did not have a dedicated air defense unit.
After a moment's thought, Bai Jin decided to equip the unit with six twin 30mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and the design of these vehicles was handed over to Luo Lin and Ouyang Nian.
After confirming that there were no further defects in the troop organization, Lorraine and Ouyang began their respective design tasks.
Luo Lin was in charge of designing the drones, while Ouyang Nian was in charge of designing the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.
The design of the reconnaissance drone required for Platinum was relatively simple. By referencing drones in the database, Lorraine quickly completed the design.
This drone does not have a vertical tail or a separate horizontal tail. Instead, it adopts a classic flying wing layout, with the fuselage and wings completely integrated to form a continuous lifting surface, which reduces drag and greatly improves the lift-to-drag ratio.
Meanwhile, the drone also adopts a high aspect ratio, and the wingtips extending to the fuselage end help reduce induced drag and improve range efficiency.
The forward section of the fuselage is streamlined and wedge-shaped, smoothly transitioning with the main wing to form a complete integrated lifting body structure, which can effectively enhance longitudinal stability and aerodynamic efficiency.
The wingtip has a blunt, rounded cross section with a slight upward curve (anhedral tip), which reduces vortex shedding, suppresses roll coupling, and integrates an energy management device.
Lorraine thickened the wing root area, leaving space for energy equipment, electronic equipment and landing gear compartments, embodying the integrated "structure-function" design concept.
To ensure radar stealth performance, there are no protruding parts on the entire surface of the aircraft, and all seams and doors use conformal sealing technology with aligned edges to ensure that radar waves are scattered in the direction of non-detection.
Meanwhile, the fuselage surface is also coated with a radar-absorbing coating, which, combined with the polygonal skin structure, can further reduce the radar cross-section.
To enhance its low observability, Lorraine equipped the aircraft with a simplified version of the optical camouflage system, which, combined with a light gray low-visibility paint, ensured that the aircraft would not be detected by television detection systems at an altitude of 1000 meters.
To avoid compromising stealth performance with the sensor array, Lorraine also equipped the aircraft with intelligent radar skin and a built-in sensor array similar to that of a space battleship.
The device still uses the familiar high-energy-density solid-state battery, which can ensure that the device has a battery life of more than 10 hours.
The aircraft has a cruising speed of 432 km/h, a maximum cruising altitude of 1 meters, and a maximum service ceiling of 2 meters, enabling continuous monitoring of an area of 140 square kilometers.
[Note: This drone can be adapted to different mission requirements by changing the pods inside its fuselage.]
On the other hand, Ouyang Nian's design speed was not much slower than Lorraine's, and she quickly provided a preliminary design plan.
For the sake of commonality, this unmanned unit still uses the unmanned combat vehicle chassis that is an improvement on the Type 21 wheeled armored vehicle family.
In designing the turret, Ouyang Nian referenced the turret of the twin-mounted 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun originally equipped by the Great Yan.
The core area of the turret is a square box, which is equipped with an active phased array radar, a fire control tracking radar, and an electro-optical observation and aiming system. The search radar has a detection range of up to 20 kilometers.
The main armament consists of two improved 30mm electromagnetic railguns, each with a rate of fire of 550 rounds per minute and an effective range of 8 kilometers. Its ammunition consists of 30mm cluster pre-fragmented programmable submunitions with programmable capabilities, and each anti-aircraft gun carries 3000 rounds of ammunition.
This type of artillery can also work in conjunction with drones, enabling it to attack enemy targets using pre-stored ballistic data without radar lock-on.
In addition, to deal with the extremely dense flying zombie creatures, Ouyang Nian also installed two airburst thermobaric rocket launchers. However, due to the limited space in the vehicle, these two rockets had to be loaded from the outside by the supply vehicle.
Once the design work is completed, a highly intelligent land-based combined arms brigade is assembled, and the next step is the unremarkable production phase.
Seeing the warship nearing completion, Lorraine called out to Platinum, and together with his guards and mechanical dogs, boarded the tactical transport plane, preparing to head to the resource storage facility to find the pilot.
On the way to the resource repository, Platinum wondered why Lorraine wanted that pilot to join the fleet.
Faced with this question, Lorraine took out his data panel, pulled up the flagship's design blueprints, and highlighted the power system equipped on it.
Platinum curiously took Lorraine's data panel, looked at the adjusted design drawing, and then froze on the spot.
After a long while, she swallowed hard, looked at Lorraine with the eyes of someone looking at a monster, and asked again.
"What are your thoughts? I don't think we can withstand such high G-force maneuvers."
Lorraine smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he had already considered this issue.
"Located below the armored bridge, I have reserved a spherical space. When the flagship enters combat mode, the cockpit will retract and enter the spherical space. Through some mechanisms built into this spherical space, the G-force can be greatly reduced."
"Moreover, the upgraded power armor has a certain nuclear resistance capability, which can completely reduce the high G-force generated during maneuvering to a range that is acceptable to the human body."
"Then why did you design it this way?"
Hearing Platinum's extremely excited tone, Lorraine explained with a wry smile.
"Because the current flagship can be called a glass cannon, it can only barely withstand the attack of the frigate's 1200mm main gun."
"Currently, the main gun calibers of ships that can be directly used in the database are between 200 mm and 800 mm, and the various types of armor stored in it can only withstand cannons of this caliber."
"Since I couldn't find any usable shield technology in the database, I could only improve the ship's maneuverability to avoid enemy fire as much as possible."
"That's why I need that pilot; I hope her flying skills can help us improve the flagship's survivability."
After he finished speaking, a long silence fell over the cabin.
"Alright. But what about Ms. Lin's vegetable garden?"
"Ouyang Nian and I have completed the preliminary design of the dedicated ship, and her vegetable garden will be directly moved to the planting module within it."
Having already confirmed the situation in the surrounding area, the three tactical transport planes hovered directly above the mine pit, and Lorraine, Platinum, and the mechanical dog team jumped off the transport planes using the propulsion system.
The guards, on the other hand, used ziplines to slide down into the pit through the open bottom hatch.
Meanwhile, a small convoy had arrived at the bottom of the mine, and three slender humanoid robots emerged from armored transport vehicles.
Leaving a squad of guards to guard part of the mine, Lorraine and Platinum walked along the passage towards the resource storage vault.
This time, the Royal Guard used Lorraine's identity information to open the final door to the vault.
Xu Ling, who was organizing the data, also received a notification from the main control program.
As soon as the three met, Bai Jin handed the data tablet containing electronic orders and information about the outside world to Xu Ling, who was walking towards them.
After she finished browsing the information displayed on the data panel, she saluted the two men.
"We guarantee the mission will be completed."
When she finished packing and returned to the entrance, the three robots had also arrived.
To allay Xu Ling's concerns, Luo Lin briefly introduced the functions of the three robots.
"The black robot on the far left is mainly responsible for organizing supplies, while the white one in the middle is a medical robot with a backpack on its back containing a complete set of medical equipment and sterilization devices."
"And the blue robot on the far right is a guard robot, equipped with vibration sensors to explore the surrounding underground environment."
Xu Ling's tense heart, which had been strained from reading the intelligence, relaxed. She then picked up her backpack and left with Lorraine and the others.
Using the propulsion system on its back, Bai Jin carried Xu Ling directly into the transport plane that was hovering in the air.
Once inside the cabin, Xu Ling suppressed her curiosity, sat on a nearby stool, and secured herself with her seatbelt.
Platinum, sitting opposite her, quickly noticed her curiosity and nudged Lorraine with his elbow, signaling him to explain the aircraft to the newly recruited pilot.
Lorraine understood, then pulled up the 3D model of the aircraft on the data panel and handed the data panel to Xu Ling.
Lorraine then began to explain the various specifications of the aircraft.
After the three of them came to a stop on the deck of the amphibious assault ship, Xu Ling was no longer as nervous as she had been at the beginning of their meeting.
Next, Luo Lin asked Lin Shu and Bai Zhi to check Xu Ling's physical condition. As long as there were no major problems with her body, then the adaptive training would begin.
While waiting for the report to be generated, a light truck carrying a two-meter-long capsule arrived next to the amphibious assault ship. After the code was identified, the ramp for vehicles to enter and exit was lowered, allowing the light truck to drive into the ship's cabin.
Upon receiving the message, Lorraine and Ouyang Nian left the infirmary and, wearing their respective power armors, went to the garage deck.
The two then worked together to move the capsule, which weighed several hundred kilograms, into an empty room next to the medical room.
At this moment, Xu Ling, who had just finished her physical examination and was feeling rather bored, followed the two into the cabin and curiously looked at the capsule placed in the center of the cabin.
When she learned that it was a highly realistic AR simulation cabin, she immediately jumped up and prepared to go inside and try it out.
Having already learned about her physical condition, Lorraine and Ouyang Nian did not stop her, but instead informed her of the aircraft she needed to pilot and related details.
Through the physiological data monitoring device in the simulator, Lorraine understood that the female pilot in front of him was in a state of extreme excitement.
After connecting all the pipes to the simulator, Lorraine let the female pilot, who was already dressed in her special suit, enter the simulator.
Meanwhile, the white paper in the adjacent medical room will monitor Xu Ling's physiological data in real time.
The three members of Platinum went up to the command center, ready to watch her simulation on the large screen there.
[Neural connections complete. Entering simulation interface.]
[The interface has loaded, and the task summary has been generated.]
After the prompt, Xu Ling appeared in the flagship's cockpit.
After carefully reviewing the mission briefing, Xu Ling activated the flagship, preparing for takeoff to practice basic air combat maneuvers.
