Chapter 1591: The Overall Layout of the Floating Island Fortress
As a large mobile artificial island, the Floating Island Fortress needs to take into account many things in order to satisfy its complete strategic position.
Strategic strike capability is inevitable, but it also requires strong conventional tactical strike and defense capabilities.
The most important thing is that since it is a large island, it must have its own complete ecosystem on it, which is quite critical.
Otherwise, if there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed above, the food consumed every day needs to be transported to the island, which will consume a lot of resources.
And since the Korean base vehicle is to be launched, that is to say, a complete base system must be established on it.
It must be able to conduct ocean-going operations self-sufficiently, ensuring that it does not need to rely on most of the supplies.
Desalination of seawater is an inevitable step, agriculture and animal husbandry and all facilities related to life must be completed.
In short, as long as it is something that is needed for human life, the above should have it.
Therefore, the layout and planning of the entire floating island fortress must be strictly prohibited to ensure that even without any supplies on the floating island fortress, it can always be self-sufficient and maintain combat effectiveness.
And for some things that cannot be produced on the island, the required supplies must also be completed, such as fuel oil and nuclear fuel, all of which need to be supplied.
However, if a 500,000-ton tanker is used to replenish oil at sea, it can also be used for a long time.
Of course, in order to save fuel consumption, the vehicles on the floating island fortress should all be electric. The power provided by the two nuclear fusion reactors is inexhaustible for all the equipment on the island.
Therefore, the most indispensable thing on the island should be electricity, and the most lacking thing is oil resources.
"Base, how many troops do you think a floating island fortress should control?" Cai Ruichen asked after thinking for a while.
"It is kept at about 200,000 in normal times, and it can be expanded to between 500,000 and 800,000 during wars. The overall personnel should be controlled at less than 1.5 million people." The base replied.
"It's exactly what I want." Cai Ruichen nodded upon hearing this.
Since the floating island fortress is a comprehensive base, it is impossible for it to be completely filled with soldiers. There will also be family members of soldiers, as well as a large number of engineers and personnel from other arms.
There will be a hospital on it,
There will be schools, and there will be most of the living facilities that the city should have, so the control of the number of people is very important.
The index suggested by the base is about the same as the number that Cai Ruichen envisioned. When the floating island fortress is normal, 200,000 combat personnel should be kept. Including the wives and children of the soldiers of the Red Police Corps, the number of personnel in this area should be controlled at 600,000. to eight hundred thousand.
The situation of other personnel also needs to be controlled, and the total cannot exceed 600,000 people. When necessary, troops can be added at any time.
Most of these extra populations are used to maintain resource training on the floating island fortress. Farms need people, ranches also need people, and there are a lot of worker positions, so life on it will not be boring, everyone will have their own jobs.
In addition, the navy will also dock at the floating island fortress at any time, so it is also necessary to prepare the navy rest area, carrier aircraft maintenance area, and business circle.
When all these ideas emerged, Cai Ruichen had a feeling that if the floating island fortress was fully built, it would be an unsinkable city floating on the sea.
However, it would be a huge task to perfect all these, so Cai Ruichen also had a new idea, and said to the base: "In addition to the key layout of the base, the floating island fortress, can other spatial layouts be made according to The requirements are directly perfected at the time of construction.”
"Yes." Base replied.
"Then continue to prepare for the construction of the floating island fortress, but don't start the construction yet. At the same time, extract the complete drawing of the fifth-floor space of the floating island fortress, and attach the requirements we discussed. I need engineers to redesign the space plan above. " Cai Ruichen ordered decisively.
The construction of a super unit has never been said to start immediately. The base also needs a period of preparation time, and the on-time time is also counted within half a year.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen still has time for engineers to make design changes, and strive to make the floating island fortress built without any modification, and can be used directly.
"Understood, finish it now."
The base immediately extracted the layout data of the floating island fortress, Cai Ruichen did not wait, but immediately contacted the hero engineer Qiu Mingxu.
"Commander, I am Qiu Mingxu."
"You immediately receive the space data of the floating island fortress. There are overall layout requirements on it. I want you to complete the redesign work as soon as possible. After the design is completed, submit it to the base for evaluation." Cai Ruichen immediately ordered.
The base that had just extracted the data sent it directly to Qiu Mingxu without Cai Ruichen's order, and soon Qiu Mingxu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I have received it, and I will try to complete it in the shortest possible time."
Without any further explanation, Cai Ruichen hung up the communication. Qiu Mingxu had never let him down, in the past, and he believed that it would be the same in the future.
As a century-old naval base, the floating island fortress has received unprecedented attention from Cai Ruichen.
Of course, he was more excited. The appearance of the floating island fortress would change the overseas combat mode of the Red Police Corps.
It's just that this is not good news for many countries, and it means Cai Ruichen's overseas expansion ambitions.
The floating island fortress can reach most of the seas in the world. With the troops deployed above, it can completely fight anywhere in the world. How can this reassure all countries.
That is to say, in the future, there will be no place beyond the reach of the Middle East Federation. The transportation of huge troops and the speed of twelve knots will reach any battlefield, and the latest time is one month.
This also means that in the future, on any battlefield in the world, the Red Police Corps will be able to deploy large-scale military forces to fight within a month, and the supplies will be quite convenient.
Of course, under this huge deterrence, once a war breaks out, the floating island fortress will definitely become a key target.
Twenty-four large electromagnetic railguns can only defend against warships approaching at sea, or attack land targets. Air defense and anti-submarine are the key to defense.
Such a huge target is completely impossible to hide, so it is necessary to have the most robust air and underwater defense system, as well as the ability of electromagnetic shielding and communication interception.
As for pure air defense, Cai Ruichen's idea is very simple, let Guangling towers spread all over the floating island fortress.
