Chapter 1062 A 150,000-ton aircraft carrier?
"Hello everyone, welcome to today's Zhang Zhong Talks program. Our program this time is called Zhang Zhong Talks about the God of Thunder and Lightning." On the TV screen, host Zhang Zhong's camera switched and a rendering of an airplane appeared. .
"This is the God of Thunder fighter recently launched by the British. They claim to build this fighter into a carrier-based unmanned attack aircraft. Now, let's analyze this aircraft." Zhang Zhong said: "We invite I asked Mr. Zhao Xiang, a well-known domestic drone expert, to analyze this drone for everyone, hello Mr. Zhao!"
The camera turned to a fat middle-aged man. He raised his hand and waved to the audience in front of the TV: "Hello everyone, I am Teacher Zhao. Now, let's analyze this drone in detail. First, , we have observed that its design is very advanced and adopts a flying wing layout without a vertical tail. This layout is a great test for the writing of flight control programs, and it also tests the reliability of a large number of sensors on the aircraft. As long as one of them is damaged due to moisture, If it fails, it may provide erroneous sensor signals, causing aircraft control systems to malfunction."
“Flying wing layout flight control is the most difficult thing to program, right?”
"Yes, the structure of the flying wing layout existed during World War II, but it has never been applied. This is because of the inherent instability of the flying wing layout. It is difficult to control this layout. Of course, we have paid attention to By now, the United States already has flying-wing bombers, and if the United Kingdom obtains relevant technology from the United States, it may still be possible."
The British have always boasted that they developed this drone themselves, but now, for the first point, for flight control, they have to ask the Americans for help because they don’t have any technical reserves!
“Yes, Britain and the United States have a good relationship, so there should be no problem with this kind of flight control.” Zhang Zhong nodded and continued to confirm the matter.
"However, the American technology is only for manned bombers. If the British want to transition to unmanned pilots, this technology needs to go further. We are not taking off what kind of flight control chips the British plan to use now, but... It requires powerful computing power, and only our Loongson can meet this requirement."
“In other words, the British need to install brains produced in the East on this kind of drone?”
"It's like this. In terms of intelligence, we are already at the forefront. It is said that Loongson is already developing special intelligent chips to provide a smarter brain for artificial intelligence. Therefore, I suggest that the British directly purchase such chips, so that It should be easier."
Can the British purchase it? Of course it's impossible! This kind of chip will not be exported, but here, the two introduced it like this, leaving the British to jump and curse.
“I hope the British side can hear our suggestions, then let’s talk about the appearance. How about this appearance?”
“The appearance looks okay, but there is a big problem with this appearance.”
"what is the problem?"
"The wings cannot be folded." Zhao Xiang introduced seriously: "Generally speaking, the wings of a stealth aircraft need to be carefully designed so that the stealth cannot be destroyed when folded. However, the aircraft in front of us obviously uses the wings as a whole. It is used for fuel tanks and is very thick. In this case, the wings must not be folded, which means that when used on an aircraft carrier, this kind of aircraft will take up a lot of space."
The photos taken by the Americans are top views, and of course they will not see the thickness of the wings. The British took the photos and modified the shape of the B2, and of course they will not notice this problem. They only focus on the science fiction effect and not on feasibility. Sex, is it okay for a carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier to not fold its wings?
There are also such aircraft. The Tomcat fighter does not fold its wings, but it can be retracted directly to the rear. The Rafale fighter does not use it and can stagger the aircraft head to tail. However, how does the God of Thunder in front of us solve this problem?
They didn’t even think about it!
“There are many issues to consider for carrier-based aircraft used on aircraft carriers, not to mention salt and moisture resistance. It is important to fold the wings to reduce the deck area. Of course, there is another important point.”
“Which point?”
“The take-off and landing methods of carrier-based aircraft.”
The British want to deceive the whole world with a PPT, so let’s crack down on the fakes!
"We can see that it is impossible for the British aircraft to have vertical take-off and landing capabilities. It has no vertical take-off and landing mechanism designed at all. Moreover, for an aircraft with a flying wing layout, the flight control is inherently difficult to program. , conventional takeoff and landing will be very difficult, and it is even impossible to have the ability to take off and land vertically, otherwise it will be a crash king. Therefore, this aircraft must be a conventional takeoff and landing plan. At this time, we have to ask our British colleagues, What do you think, do you think the runway of the Queen-class aircraft carrier is enough?"
The deck layout of the Queen-class aircraft carrier appeared on the screen.
"We can see that the runway length of the entire deck is 280 meters. Even if the flight control system of this drone is very advanced and can ensure that the landing gear touches the deck at the rear of the aircraft carrier, the taxiing distance left for it is only 280 meters. It is only 280 meters. For a fighter plane of about 20 tons, it needs to brake at this length, which is a great test of the braking ability of the wheels. Perhaps, for the British, they want to use the jump of the bow of the ship. Come to the flight deck to slow down."
Animation has started!
I saw a carrier-based aircraft codenamed Thunder God flying from a distance, landing gently on the deck, gliding forward to slow down, then rushed onto the jump deck, stopped at the top of the slope, and then fell back!
This animation will soon be spread all over the world, allowing everyone to see this weird landing method.
“In other words, the Queen-class aircraft carrier needs to be modified with an angled deck?” Zhang Zhong said.
"Yes, it's best to modify it according to the plan of our No. 16 aircraft carrier. The bow of the ship becomes a large jump deck, which can allow two carrier-based aircraft to take off at the same time. Then an angled deck is arranged on the port side, and behind it Put down the arresting cable and let this God of Thunder land in a conventional way. At the same time, the take-off area and landing area will not interfere with each other."
"Yes, our plan is the best one. I hope that after seeing it, our British colleagues can seriously absorb our plan introduction and not refuse it because of face issues." Zhang Zhong said: "Of course, if you think this This solution doesn’t look good, but you can also add a catapult. You are welcome to purchase electromagnetic catapults from the East.”
Snapped! Benjamin turned off the TV and was about to hit the screen with his fist.
“It’s too much, it’s too much. From the beginning to the end, they are making fun of us!” Benjamin said: “Our aircraft carrier will not be modified, and our God of Thunder will also take off and land from the aircraft carrier!”
The people around me didn’t speak, and the muscles on their faces twitched. Are you kidding me? Even aliens couldn’t do it without modifications and a normal landing!
Benjamin looked at the person sitting below him: "Boyce, what do you think?"
"Our best plan is to modify it according to the method of Dongfang's No. 16 aircraft carrier. Since the construction has not been completed yet, the modification is the easiest. We modify the bow of the ship into a large-area jump deck and add an angled deck to the port side. , so that carrier-based aircraft can perfectly take off and land, and we even don’t need to purchase carrier-based aircraft from the United States, we can just use our own Typhoon fighter jets.”
"Modify according to the Eastern aircraft carrier plan? Boyce, what are you talking about? If we modify it like this, it will become a joke to the whole world! Orientals will even laugh at us! How can we use the Eastern modification plan! "
Of course Benjamin would not approve of this plan. The construction process was just delayed. After the construction was completed, he found that the appearance was the same as the one in the East? Isn't this plagiarism? No, absolutely not!
"The displacement of our aircraft carrier is similar to that of the Orientals, and the length and width are similar. It is the easiest to modify. Although I also think this is a bit bad, I still want to say that this is the most suitable modification plan for us." Bo Iss still insisted: "We can't wait for the US carrier-based aircraft, which is far away, and we can't wait for the self-developed God of Thunder. Not to mention how long it will take to develop this aircraft, and whether there are R&D funds, even if it is Even after it is developed, it will still not be able to become the main force of the fleet and will not be able to perform tasks such as air defense interception."
“Yes, only the Typhoon fighter jet is our best choice.”
“However, if the entire bow of the ship becomes a jump deck, it will greatly reduce the parking area for carrier-based aircraft.” Some people began to raise new questions.
The British also use a jump deck, but it is so narrow in order to free up more area to park fighter planes. This has been the case since the Invincible-class era. Even if carrier-based aircraft cannot be parked, deck operation vehicles can be parked. ah.
Now, if the bow of the ship is sloped, the entire bow will not be able to accommodate fighter jets.
“The U.S. electromagnetic catapult still has many problems and is far from mature!” Boyce quickly stopped him.
“That’s not necessarily true. The United States has the most advanced technology in the world. The Easterners have already figured it out, and the Americans must be faster. I believe they can catch up with the progress of our aircraft carriers!” Benjamin said:
"Renovate our aircraft carrier according to the plan of electromagnetic catapult take-off and arrested landing!" Boyce stood up: "No, no, we can't do this! I don't want to see our advanced aircraft carrier destroyed in the hands of amateurs!"
“What do you mean, I’m a layman?”
“That’s right, you are an amateur!”
The two started to quarrel.
Others looked ugly and didn’t know who to support.
Dongfang, the third shipyard of Mingzhou Group.
“Mr. Qin, our big dock is finally completed!” Kong Laoer said to Qin Tao excitedly: “It’s the same as our Mingzhou Group’s, it’s a 400,000-ton big dock!”
Wu Shengli and Qin Tao stood on the construction site together, looking at this huge shipyard. Although both were 400,000 tons, the size of this shipyard was still somewhat different from that of Mingzhou Group. This shipyard was 580 meters long and 139.5 meters wide. , the depth is 12.2 meters, the width decreases and the length increases.
At this time, the shipyard has just been built, and the gantry crane and other equipment have not yet been installed, so it is not capable of starting work immediately.
“This dock is very large. Even if we build an aircraft carrier with a displacement of 150,000 tons, it will probably be more than enough, right?” Wu Shengli asked.
“Yes, of course it is more than enough, but does the navy really have to make up its mind to build one with a capacity of 150,000 tons?” Qin Tao asked with a smile.
For aircraft carriers, the greater the displacement, the higher the cost-effectiveness. Therefore, the United States will build larger aircraft carriers, from 80,000 tons to 100,000 tons. However, this is already the limit. It has never been done before in human history. Aircraft carriers with larger displacements have been built.
“Do you think our navy needs an aircraft carrier of this level?” Wu Shengli asked.
Qin Tao swallowed and said: "Need it."
From the perspective of a shipyard, it is definitely needed. The bigger the aircraft carrier built by the navy, the better. Our Mingzhou Group has not built an aircraft carrier of this level, so of course it is impossible to challenge it.
"If it is an aircraft carrier with this displacement, then our catapult can be increased to 150 meters in length. It should be able to catapult a carrier-based aircraft weighing 40 tons. Not to mention fighter jets and bombers can come up, and the attack power will be further improved. Increase." Qin Tao said: "The larger the deck, the more efficient the operation. The combat capability of a 150,000-ton aircraft carrier may be twice that of a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier. Moreover, we already have a mature nuclear reactor system. Taiwan’s nuclear reactor is enough to propel a 150,000-ton aircraft carrier to a high speed of more than 30 knots.”
“It seems that you are really an aircraft carrier faction.” Wu Shengli said.
"Then what else can I be, a useless aircraft carrier?" Qin Tao asked back: "That kind of statement should have gone to **** long ago."
“Currently, the Navy is applying for funds from its superiors. After the dock here is completed, we may start construction of the fourth aircraft carrier here simultaneously, but the displacement should not change and remain the same as the one of your Mingzhou Group.”
Qin Tao's eyes lit up: "The navy wants to build another one?"
In the past, the navy would never have dared to take such a big step, but now, all technical reserves are already available.
The 002 aircraft carrier is a super aircraft carrier with a displacement of 80,000 tons. Technologies such as electromagnetic ejection and electromagnetic interception have been verified on this aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier is currently in good condition and the navy is very satisfied.
The 003 aircraft carrier just replaces the power system with nuclear power. Moreover, there are already floating nuclear power plants and nuclear-powered icebreakers at sea, which proves that there is no problem with the design of the nuclear reactor. Therefore, although the 003 aircraft carrier is under construction, there should not be any big problems. , in this case, the Navy will of course seek a fourth aircraft carrier, and the dock here cannot be left empty!
The era of naval explosives has arrived!
"Yes, the Navy is going to build another one of the same model, also called Type 003, with hull number 19." Wu Shengli said: "After the construction here is completely completed, the project should be approved. Don't worry about whether the funds are in place, you guys Let’s build this warship first.”
Don’t worry about whether the funds are in place? Does this mean we still need to pay in advance? Qin Tao looked at his father-in-law, you are so kind to your son-in-law!
"It's better to call it 003A. Although the size is the same and the equipment is the same, there will still be some modifications in the details." Qin Tao said: "This aircraft carrier will carry more J-20 and G-11 drones. This will naturally be done in Corresponding improvements should be made on the aircraft carrier, such as adding more drone operation rooms, etc."
Wu Shengli nodded: "Okay, then it's settled. Your Mingzhou Group will design a 150,000-ton aircraft carrier by the way. Let us review it in advance."
“Approve review?” Qin Tao smiled: “You want to imagine the majesty of this aircraft carrier in advance, right?”
“What, can’t you think about it?”
“Of course, let’s dream this dream together and turn this dream into reality.” Qin Tao said.
While Qin Tao and Wu Shengli were thinking about the future, a special program was being broadcast on a domestic TV station.
“Hello everyone, this is the Pan Pan Talks program. This is the first episode. This episode is called Pan Pan Talks about the Aircraft Carrier.”
Zhang Zhong said that the program was very popular, and other TV stations were also interested. A certain TV station also decided to do this kind of program. The name of the program is Pan Pan said.
Different from Zhang Zhong’s military image, Pan Pan is a young man with thick makeup on his face and deliberately thick eyebrows. He looks like an idol-level host promoted by a certain TV station.
“For this program, we have specially invited the famous bricklayer Mr. Wu Youde. He is a professor at Huating University of Foreign Studies and a well-known domestic expert and scholar. He has researched in various fields. Welcome Mr. Wu Youde!”
The camera turned to Wu Youde, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a high-end suit, and a gleaming luxury watch on his wrist.
"Dear viewers, hello everyone, I am very happy to be a guest on Pan Pan Talks. This first episode is called Pan Pan Talks about Aircraft Carriers. Let's first discuss aircraft carriers. We all know that aircraft carriers are offensive weapons and aggressive weapons. "
This first sentence alone already made his position clear!
"The aircraft carrier is a giant on the sea. It carries a large number of carrier-based aircraft and has very powerful attack capabilities. We can see that the United States is the most powerful country in the world because they have ten aircraft carriers. Every time they encounter When it comes to questions, their president will ask, where is our aircraft carrier?"
"The United States has the most powerful military strength in the world, and this time it effortlessly defeated the former world's fourth most powerful military power." Wu Youde continued: "We can also see that the main role of aircraft carriers is to attack , is to maintain global hegemony, but what about us? We are pursuing a defensive policy. In this policy, aircraft carriers have no meaning and will only waste the country’s wealth.”
"Now, our country's navy has developed too much. It is not necessary at all. We don't need aircraft carriers. After all, we don't need to invade other countries. In order to maintain the aircraft carrier fleet, we have to spend a lot of money. These Isn’t it good for funds to be used for national development?”
