The weight of the Hunter Mech was generally around 2,000 tons and was usually deployed by six heavy-duty transport helicopters. Each helicopter had a load capacity of more than 300 tons.
Currently, the world's heaviest helicopter was the Mi-12 that had not been mass-produced since it was successfully developed. It was also the world's largest helicopter with a maximum load capacity of 30 tons, which was less than one-tenth of the Pacific Rim's heavy-duty transport helicopters.
Other mass-produced helicopters in active service, the Mi-26 with the heaviest load capacity was only 20 tons. The famous Chinook and Super Stallion helicopters in the United States only had a load capacity of 10 to 15 tons.
Not only was the load capacity high, but the advanced engine and fuselage structure design made the Pacific Rim's heavy-duty transport helicopter have a range and speed comparable to fixed-wing transport aircraft. At the same time, it was very resistant to bad weather and environment, and its flight safety was much higher than ordinary helicopters.
The helicopter's vertical take-off and landing ability allowed it to be unrestricted by the terrain. In the absence of an airport runway, it could take off and land on any open space.
This kind of four-rotor heavy-duty transport helicopter used to hoist the Hunter Mech in the Pacific Rim world beat all helicopters in the real world. Even those large military fixed-wing transport aircraft had no advantage in front of it.
Whether it was the load capacity, flight speed, range, or the requirements of the venue, flexibility, and safety, it was not inferior to the main military transport aircraft of various countries. It was even superior in many aspects. Especially in a complex environment like the battlefield, the four-rotor heavy-duty transport helicopter's ability was particularly strong.
It was foreseeable that once this helicopter was manufactured, it would inevitably attract the attention of the military of various countries around the world, and they would want to equip their troops with it.
If it was in the past, Chen Mo would never have taken it out. After all, it was too eye-catching and could bring a lot of trouble.
However, Chen Mo no longer had to worry about it. He now had enough strength to protect his own things. If anyone dared to touch it, Chen Mo would not hesitate to chop off their claws!
Moreover, Chen Mo did not plan to build a complete version of the helicopter. After all, he did not need to hoist the heavy Hunter Mech.
In fact, the purpose of Chen Mo building this heavy-duty transport helicopter was not to sell it to the outside world, but to use it within his own company.
While Chen Mo was building the 3D holographic cinema, he had also established Shendun's own logistics network all over the world. He was responsible for the transportation of products such as holographic smartphones and portable projection equipment. He would deliver the products purchased by users directly to them through drones.
After a period of development, the terminal logistics network had been fully opened. After placing an order, Divine Shield users all over the world could receive products delivered by drones in a very short time.
However, the focus of Shendun's previous logistics network development was mainly focused on the logistics centers in various large, medium, and small cities, as well as the intelligent drones that could automatically deliver goods as the core, directly reaching the downstream terminal network of users.
The upstream logistics from Divine Shield Corporation to the major cities in China and around the world still relied on the traditional logistics system. It was carried out through airlines, land passenger transport companies, and shipping companies.
Previously, Shendun's main products were holographic smartphones and other smaller products. Although there were a lot of them, the upstream logistics requirements were not very high.
However, with the continuous increase in sales of the mid-range and high-end Divine Shield vehicles, not only in China and the United States, but also around the world, the demand for these powerful mid-range and high-end vehicles was also very high. Even if they had to pay extra import tariffs and the price was much more expensive than in China and the United States, the demand still could not meet the demand. It was similar to the momentum of the Huaxia tycoons buying a large number of imported luxury cars in the past.
However, the mid-range and high-end vehicles in Shendun were obviously not comparable to those ordinary luxury cars.
This eventually led to the continuous increase in Shendun's demand for the upstream logistics network. Although the traditional logistics system composed of major airlines, shipping companies, and road transportation companies could barely meet the needs of Shendun, on one hand, the cost was high and the timeliness was poor. Car owners all over the world usually had to wait for a while before they could get a car. On the other hand, Chen Mo did not want the company's logistics network to be choked by other companies.
If someone targeted Shendun and blocked them at a certain point, it would have a very big impact.
Chen Mo did not intend to waste time to set up a dedicated shipping, air, and land transportation company, so building a transportation tool that could perfectly solve the upstream logistics needs of Shendun was his best choice at the moment.
It just so happened that the Pacific Rim's four-rotor medium-size transport helicopter just met Chen Mo's needs.
Since the new mid-range and high-end vehicles had factories in China and the United States, they could just radiate to the surrounding eastern and western countries. There was no need for long-distance transportation across the entire world. The furthest transportation distance was only a few thousand kilometers, which was completely within the range of the heavy-duty transport helicopter.
Moreover, with its close to the speed of sound and its super-fast flight speed of up to 900 kilometers, it only took half a day at most to reach the destination. The timeliness was stronger.
Because there were not many requirements for the landing site, it could directly reach the logistics center, sales center, or any other designated location. There was no need to change any other transportation tool midway, which greatly reduced the complexity of transportation and increased the efficiency.
This kind of heavy-duty transport helicopter could completely cover the entire upper, middle, and downstream logistics network, making up for the shortcomings of the original logistics network and completely perfecting it.
In fact, in addition to this kind of four-rotor heavy-duty transport helicopter, Shao's vertical take-off and landing jet aircraft was also very good. It could completely replace helicopters and become the new vertical take-off and landing aircraft, which would definitely be very popular with the rich and the military.
However, the technology of this kind of jet aircraft was a bit too advanced, and the gap between it and the technology in the real world was too big. At least for now, it was not suitable to be used.
Moreover, for the transportation of goods, the four-rotor heavy-duty transport helicopter of the Pacific Rim Joint Military Defense Force was more suitable and relatively easier to accept.
In addition to the heavy-duty transport helicopter, Chen Mo also took out the mechanical armor nerve connection technology and handed it to Shendun Technology Company for research. Chen Mo asked Bradley to use this nerve connection and simulation feedback technology, combined with Shendun Machinery Company's mechanical hand technology, to develop mechanical prosthetics that could allow disabled people who had lost their hands and feet to move and sense normally.
Chen Mo's vision had never been limited to making money.
