Chapter 99 Cheetah Self-Propelled Artillery

So he then spent another 30,000 energy points to exchange for some oil-based machinery and equipment, preparing to find people to mine local oil from Germany and oil from the Alsace region in the eastern French territory.

According to later Deloitte estimates, so far, there are more than 650 oil wells in the Alsace area, and there are four refineries, which have produced about 80 million barrels of oil.

However, in recent years, France has been banned from using hydraulic fracturing to exploit oil and gas because it is afraid that oil extraction will cause earthquakes and pollution to the environment.

Of course, oil extraction in Germany and France is just Chen Yanlong's first step, because if he can turn defeat into victory, he may go to the Middle East to exploit more oil, because as we all know, oil in the Middle East accounts for 70% of the world, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries.

Of course, 20% comes from Africa, and 10% comes from Russia.

Therefore, the oil production equipment exchanged by Chen Yanlong include: such as surveying and mapping equipment, grounding equipment, drilling rigs, logging instruments, well recording instruments, directional equipment, cementing equipment, etc. required for early exploration; testing equipment, oil pumps or electric submersible pumps, oil pipelines, etc. required for later development.

Especially oil drilling rigs, because this is a common drilling equipment. In oil drilling, drilling tools are driven to crush rocks, such as drilling underground and drilling wellbores of specified depths for oil production machines to obtain oil or natural gas. The main components of the equipment are: power machines, transmissions, working machines and other auxiliary equipment.

There is also an oil pump, because it is a kind of machine and equipment for mining oil, commonly known as the "kowheader", which causes oil to exit the well by pressurization.

There are also pipe cleaning equipment and heating equipment:

"Pipe cleaning equipment refers to special tools that are driven by gas, liquid or pipeline conveying medium to clean the pipeline. They can carry radio transmitters and ground tracking instruments to form an electronic tracking system. Generally, there are six major series, including leather bowl pipe cleaners, straight plate pipe cleaners, wax pipe cleaners, rubber pipe cleaners, foam pipe cleaners and buckling detectors. Their main function is to clarify corrosive substances such as water accumulation in the pipeline, light oil, methane hydrate, carbide dust, etc., reduce the corrosion damage of corrosive substances to the inner wall of the pipeline, re-defined the pipeline direction, detect pipeline deformation, check the integrity of the valves along the line, and reduce the working back pressure."

"The heating furnace in the heating equipment is a heating equipment that transfers the heat generated by the combustion of fuel to the heating medium, thereby increasing its temperature. The key equipment for heating oil pipelines is also an energy conversion equipment and a main energy-consuming equipment. The heating furnace should have technical characteristics such as high thermal efficiency, low flow resistance, able to adapt to changes in pipeline output, and can operate safely for a long time."

The machinery and equipment for mining oil that Chen Yanlong exchanged was all learned from the Internet and some friends who were doing oil production before traveling through time.

But even with these mechanical equipment, he still needs to find a way to find people who understand how to use these equipment.

Otherwise, it would be a piece of waste tank and oil could not be exploited.

So once he exchanged these machinery and equipment, he was worried about the problem of oil exploitation personnel.

But soon he stopped thinking about this problem, but returned to the Prime Minister's Office in Berlin first, and then continued to pay attention to the war on Pantelleria Island.

"The current situation of the first fighter battle should be almost over! The eight "cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns I secretly rated to Gothard Heinrich should be time to appear! I wonder how powerful they are?"

As soon as he returned to the Prime Minister's Office in Berlin, Chen Yanlong suddenly remembered.

These 8 "cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were the 10th day after Chen Yanlong's redemption system was upgraded. The redemption system suddenly rewarded him with another super high added value-saving weapon and equipment.

In other words, even Chen Yanlong, who already has 300,000 energy points, has no way to exchange it for the life-saving cheating weapons and equipment.

Of course, unless Chen Yanlong's exchange system can evolve and upgrade in the future, that's another matter.

But who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe one day his golden finger will fail and stop.

When Chen Yanlong thought of these possible major risks, he felt deeply hurt and a sense of crisis.

Therefore, for safety reasons, he exchanged the energy points he obtained as soon as possible into weapons and equipment; then established a secret weapon storage place to store it to prevent it from happening.

In fact, when it comes to air defense firepower, Chen Yanlong originally wanted to create a new dual-mounted 35mm anti-aircraft gun similar to later generations, combined with a 25mm 4-consecutive gun, a new 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and a multi-barrel rapid-fire near-defense gun system transplanted from naval ships. Combined with an air defense missile system, a complete anti-aircraft firepower network covering all altitudes and ranges.

But unfortunately, his current redemption system cannot exchange for these air defense weapons and equipment, and he does not have so many energy points to exchange for so many weapons, equipment, ammunition, and spare parts of these weapons and equipment.

So he could only exchange the last eight "cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that he used to save his life and put them on Pantelleria Island to see how powerful they are.

According to the well-known online military data records in later generations, the Cheetah self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, its main weapon is two KDA-type 35mm machine guns manufactured by the Swiss Erliton Company, with a length of 3150 mm (90 times the caliber), and the theoretical fire rate of each gun is 550 rounds per minute.

At the same time, its ammunition base is 320 rounds to the air and 20 rounds to the ground. It can attack aircraft flying in medium and low altitudes, as well as light armored vehicles and other ground targets. The directional firing boundary of the artillery is 360°, the high and low firing boundary is -5°~+85°, and the life of the body tube is 2500~3000 rounds.

Moreover, the types of bullets it uses include combustion grenades, tracer burning grenades, armor-piercing combustion blasting bombs, tracer shell-removing armor-piercing bombs, etc.

When firing a combustion grenade, the maximum range is 12,800 meters and the effective range is 4,000 meters. The usual single shot hit probability is 15%. Using the knowledge of probability theory, it is not difficult to calculate that if you want to achieve an 80% hit probability, the two guns should fire 106 shells. If the single shot hit probability is increased to 2%, you only need to fire 80 rounds...

The occupants of the "cheetah" are three people: the commander, the gunner, and the driver.

Just as Chen Yanlong was thinking about the power of his eight "cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, Commander Gothard Heinrich also had no confidence in the combat capabilities of these weapons and equipment.

Although he knew at a glance that these "cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were very high-end weapons and equipment, Chen Yanlong also personally trained some chariot commanders, gunners, and drivers.

These personnel were pulled from the original Tiger tank and Leopard tank, and asked Chen Yanlong to conduct training secretly.

Although the training time is only half a month, under high-intensity training, I still know how to use some simple operations and gun attacks.

Although Gothard Heinrich once mustered up the courage to ask Chen Yanlong the origin of these weapons and equipment and why he knew how to operate and drive.

Chen Yanlong's answer was just like lying to Denitz and said, "This is a national-level secret in the war period, so I can't tell you now! After we win this war, I can tell you!"

As for the reason why Chen Yanlong knew how to operate these "cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, it was because when he was a special forces soldier in later generations, he also operated many types of anti-aircraft guns, and there were more advanced self-propelled anti-aircraft guns than it, and he also learned and used them.

"Commander! The Italian Air Force has been completely wiped out by the British and American Air Forces! What should we do now? Our Air Force has not arrived here to provide support?"

Just as Gothard Heinrich was pondering how powerful the "cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns given to him by Chen Yanlong were, a staff officer around him said anxiously.

"It's okay! This time the Head of State gave us a lot of new weapons and equipment, allowing us to perform in this battle! So I'm afraid that the victory atmosphere of the British and American allies will be eliminated by us!"

Gothard Heinrich took a deep breath and smiled.

On the Eastern Front, he tried enough hard battles without the support of the Air Force, especially in the face of the overwhelming air strikes of the Soviet army...

When he thought about this, Gothard Heinrich gradually changed into a bitter smile.

"I hope the new weapons and equipment given to me by the Head of State can kill me!"
