The rise of nanometers

On a remote beach in Sanya, Feipeng 001 made a U-turn directly on the open sea by climbing, and then used reverse mode to park the rear cargo door on the beach and open it.

When the hatch panel hit the beach, inside the cargo hold, Sea Scorpion mechas and heavily armed soldiers rushed out quickly, followed closely by King Crab mechas, and finally armored vehicles and special supply containers.

Several satellites in the sky captured this scene clearly, making several other gangsters involuntarily feel afraid.

The Feipeng class looks like an enlarged version of the Caspian Sea monster, but there is a huge difference between the two. The Feipeng class not only overcomes the traditional shortcomings of ground-effect aircraft, but can also be equipped with a small canopy defense system.

As a result, the Feipeng-class will have a wide range of uses with its ultra-low-altitude penetration capabilities, speed, transportation capacity, adaptability, and defense capabilities.

The endurance capability can be enhanced by adding fuel tanks within 24 hours, and the troops can be delivered within a range of 9,600 to 12,960 kilometers.

The distance between Shanghai and San Francisco is approximately 9,900 kilometers.

This means that the Feipeng class, if necessary, can cross the Pacific Ocean from eastern Asia to the west coast of America within twenty-four hours.

As for Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Ceylon Ocean, they are also within the 24-hour delivery range.

Even if the United States sets up a base in Malacca, it will be of little use, because the Feipeng class can fly. To enter the Ceylon Ocean, it can fly over the Malay Peninsula and jump directly from the South China Sea to the Ceylon Ocean.

As for whether the locals agree to the overflight, they won't make any sense in an emergency.

A group of soldiers who came down from Feipeng 001 were setting up a temporary camp on the coast, while Feipeng 001 went to the Feipeng branch in Sanya Port to replenish fuel.

Colonel Li Xuan of the inspection team looked at Feipeng 001, which was gradually disappearing on the sea level, and wrote some inspection information in a small notebook.

"What do you think?" a middle-aged colonel with a round face asked.

Li Xuan raised his glasses: "The value is very great. If it is covered with a layer of absorbing material, it will basically not be detected during ultra-low altitude ground effect flight."

The middle-aged colonel smiled bitterly and said: "The price is just too high. The total price of the 10 ships ordered by Feipeng Group from China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation is 16.4 billion, and the unit price is as high as 1.64 billion."

"You get what you pay for. The Feipeng-class is worthy of the price, and the profit of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation is only about half." Li Xuan gave a fair evaluation.

Others in the inspection team are also thinking that given the current situation, it is very necessary to equip a batch of specially made Feipeng-class weapons.

What's more, China has gained half of the world's currency hegemony, and funds are not as tight as before. It can spend tens of billions to customize a batch of Feipeng-class.

Li Xuan continued: "In terms of flexibility, even amphibious assault ships are not as good as the Feipeng class. If we can equip 10 Feipeng class, we can deliver a mechanical brigade to thousands of miles away in a short time." Inside."

"10 ships?"

"This scale is a bit small. It should be equipped with about 30 ships!"

"Thirty ships is too many. About 15 ships is more suitable."

Everyone started discussing in a hurry.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, was silent for a moment and then said: "Actually, it is enough for us to have 10 standing ships. Don't forget that Feipeng Group will also purchase a large number. We can borrow their Feipeng-class transportation in an emergency. Boat."

"Huh? This is also a way."

"It's indeed a good idea. I guess Feipeng Group will have a lot of equipment."

According to Feipeng Group's long-term plan, they plan to invest 20 to 30 Feipeng-class transport ships in domestic coastal areas around 2015 to transport express delivery, fruits, vegetables, and seafood.

The domestic coastline from north to south is about 4,000 kilometers long. Even if you transport pineapples from Xuwen County, Zhanjiang, to Dalian Port, it is only about 3,090 kilometers.

The transportation cost of 1 ton of pineapples is about 1,860 yuan, with an average of 1.86 yuan per kilogram.

Feipeng Group offers a 40% discount on bulk agricultural products, which is a great support for agricultural products.

Similarly, the price of air freight from Sanya to Dalian starts at two yuan per kilogram, which is still quoted for weights of more than 500 kilograms. Airlines usually adopt weight-tiered prices and have minimum charging standards.

In terms of cost competitiveness, airlines really have no way to compete with Feipeng-class ground effect transport ships. There is a very obvious gap between the two parties in terms of comprehensive cost per 100 kilometers.

If ground effect transport ships were not turbulent and unable to transport passengers, there would be no need for civil aviation in coastal areas.

In addition, the supporting infrastructure requirements for the ports and coastal cities where the Feipeng class is anchored do not need to be too high.

Even on beaches and shallow seas, cargo can be loaded and unloaded without the need for special airports or ports.

This feature can effectively reduce investment in infrastructure for cash-strapped cities or special regions.

For example, among the various islands in Sansha City, many of them are not large in area. If a port or airport is built specifically, it would be obviously a waste.

But considering the importance of these islands, these infrastructures had to be built.

Now that we have the Feipeng class, we can use the Feipeng class for transportation. We do not need ports and airports to transport materials.

In the future, Feipeng-class transport ships will have great potential in cargo transportation domestically, as well as in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia.

That's why Li Xuancai suggested that when necessary, Feipeng Group's transport ships could be leased to reduce the financial pressure on the military.

And he has another plan, renting a transport ship from the Feipeng Group, and fishing in troubled waters. Satellites can observe the Feipeng class sailing on the sea, but cannot observe what is transported inside.

If the obstruction of clouds is added, it will be more difficult for satellites to lock on the Feipeng class. Especially as the number of Feipeng class transport ships increases, the effect of fishing in troubled waters will be further enhanced.

The Feipeng class is running around on the sea all day long. Except for those within the Feipeng Group who know what those ships are transporting, the outside world is basically in a state of fog.

Li Xuan and the members of the inspection team quickly discussed some contents.

This includes preparing to purchase 10 specially-made Feipeng-class ships and establishing a liaison group with the Feipeng Group to facilitate quick communication and leasing in the future.

On the other side, Meng Luochuan drove Feipeng 001, filled up the fuel at the Feipeng Group branch in Sanya Port, and stuffed 2,200 tons of pineapples, bananas, longans, and mangoes into the cargo hold.

Then Feipeng 001 set sail again, preparing to transport these southern fruits to the north for sale.

Feipeng 001 was racing all the way again. Eight and a half hours later, Meng Luochuan drove Feipeng 001 to the unloading area of ​​Tianjin Port. Feipeng Group's branch in Tianjin City had dispatched a container tractor to come. Meet these fruits.

Then, except for some of these fruits that stay in Jin City, the rest are transported to Peiping. These fruits are of good quality and relatively cheap.

Soon these fruits were eaten by fruit shops and supermarkets.

In the next more than a week, Feipeng 001 underwent high-intensity testing before returning to the Dalian Shipyard for a comprehensive inspection.

On the other side, the emergence of the Feipeng class has been reported by various news media and is now basically known to everyone around the world.

In particular, the surrounding areas have become more "hospitable", "win-win cooperation" and "cautious".
