Chapter 1100 Modification
Countless people ran out and flocked to the carrier-based aircraft. This was their first time coming into contact with a stealth carrier-based aircraft!
The black fuselage, with the stealth design of folded lines, and the sloping vertical tail, looks so tall!
“Welcome, Eagle, you can land on our warship at any time in the future!” Hakim stepped forward and said to the pilot.
"This is just a test." Xiongying said with a smile: "After all, I am a pilot of the Goudahu Navy. It is best for you to have your own stealth aircraft."
“Yes, we’d better have our own aircraft, and we also need to purchase them from the East. As for the funds…”
Purchasing this kind of aircraft costs money, and the money must be supported by big investors. Therefore, whether they can purchase it and how much they purchase are completely decided by big investors!
“Let the big guys worry about the funding. We’ll just do the testing. I feel like it would be better if the warship’s hull had a slope.”
“That’s right, just like the Invincible, it can ski-jump and take off, and it won’t affect the operation of the deck. I think it’s okay!” Hakim nodded.
The capital of the big dog family.
“Our amphibious assault ship Nasser has been tested carrying the J-31A, and there is no problem in taking off and landing. It would be better if there was a ski jump deck.” Mamish said to the people in front.
Salman nodded: "Yes, based on the hangar area of your warship, this kind of carrier-based aircraft can be carried, but the number cannot be too many. Each warship can carry six."
"Six? Isn't that too few? We think we can carry twenty!" Mamish was anxious.
Salman smiled: “Come, take a look at this design.”
The slides were printed on the projector, with the hangar on the left and the deck on the right, clearly marked.
"If the hangar is full, it is true that more than ten aircraft can be crammed in, but then there will be no room for movement inside. Since the main elevator is designed at the rear, if you want to move the frontmost aircraft out, then Just need to move all the planes.”
General aircraft carriers will use side elevators. The standard configuration is one at the front and one at the front. This is not only to better lift the fighter aircraft, but also to facilitate internal movement and maximize utilization.
American amphibious assault ships also use side elevators, but because there is no space on the deck, they simply protrude outside. Anyway, there is no fear of friction at sea.
However, general amphibious assault ships do not have such a large space, and the main elevators are arranged at the back. This makes it difficult to dispatch aircraft inside.
After all, the body size of a helicopter is small and can be moved around. The main space it takes up is the rotor. As long as the rotor is retracted, space can always be made. However, the same is not true for carrier-based fighter jets. It's as big as it is. If it's blocked, you can't get out.
"So, the hangar below needs to be divided into two parts. The back is used for fighter planes, and the front is used for helicopters. Six fighter planes can be accommodated at the maximum limit." Salman said: "Even so, it is necessary to put The elevator behind the ship island will be enlarged to increase the external float."
Still have to use the lift in the middle!
This lift is long in shape, long in the front and back, and narrow on the left and right. It just needs to be widened. Anyway, widening is just an extension of the outside area. It won't have much impact, it just doesn't look good.
"Your Excellency Salman, it is true that you have an aircraft carrier and have rich experience. This opinion is very important. We will improve it according to this plan!" Hakim was very emotional. This thing will not work if you have not been exposed to it before. I just started using it, and I just thought about how many airplanes could be packed in it, but I never thought about how to transport the airplanes.
When I heard it now, I suddenly realized that there is still such a problem!
Then just six!
“By the way, in order to leverage the strength of this fighter, we also plan to install a jump deck on the bow of the ship.”
The deck of Dongfang 075 is a rectangle, but the French don’t know what they think. Both ends of the bow of the amphibious assault ship have cut corners, which looks nondescript. It just fills up the missing corners and installs a jump deck.
"Yes, but if you increase it, you need to make precise calculations to ensure that it will not be overweight and cause an unstable center of gravity." Salman continued: "In order to reduce the weight, it needs to be made of special high-strength steel. This is a big project. You guys I’m afraid I can’t build my own shipyard.”
The Pyramid State also has its own shipyard. Next to Alexandria is the Alexandria Shipyard. This shipyard has a long history. In the 1960s, it received suggestions from experts from the Red Empire for transformation. It is also ranked among the best in Africa. , second only to the shipyard of Rainbow Kingdom.
Of course they planned to build it in their own shipyard. However, when Salman said this, Mamish was stunned. Yes, he couldn't use the knife easily. What if it was damaged and the navigation was unstable? manage?
“What should we do? The Easterners must be skilled, but it is impossible for us to sail this warship to the East.”
To say that the ones that currently build the largest number of aircraft carriers and amphibious ships are Americans. There is no comparison. However, those that build the largest number of models are definitely the Easterners. Whether it is catapult take-off or ski-jump take-off, the two-ship island is still They have been exposed to single ship islands, boilers, gas turbines and even nuclear power. They have even modified many aircraft carriers. They have the richest experience.
However, the Pyramid Kingdom is too far away from the east. This newly acquired warship will have to sail far away, and I am afraid it will encounter many problems. What's more, the French will not agree.
Although the Nasser is the property of the Pyramid State and they have the power to do anything, the warship is produced in France after all. The key is that the second ship is being outfitted and has not yet been delivered. If this ship is sent to the East for modification , the French are so angry that they may find an excuse to refuse to deliver the second ship. When the time comes, a lawsuit will be filed, which will be protracted.
“There is no need to drive to the east, just renovate it at our Jubail shipyard.” Salman said.
The big dogs also have ideals. They want to build an industrial power and they want to develop the shipbuilding industry!
The Jubail Shipyard has been under construction for a long time. In the hands of the Eastern infrastructure team, the construction has been very fast. Now the dock is ready and can fully accept the repair and modification of ships, so they want to attract business.
Hearing Salman's words, Mamish nodded without any hesitation: "Okay, then we will bring the Nasser over and leave it to you for modification!"
This is a piece of pie-in-the-sky good news. If you refit it in your own shipyard, you have to spend your own money to send it to the Jubail Shipyard. Then the Pyramid State doesn't have to pay anything and just waits to receive the refitted warship. ! The big dogs are not short of money, so of course they will pay for it out of their own pockets. After all, they bought this warship with their own money. Big money has been spent, and small money won’t matter.
"In addition to these two modifications, we also have to modify the electronic equipment on the warship." Salman continued: "After all, we will conduct joint exercises in the future, and our unified data link system must be installed on the warship to facilitate command. .”
"Well, okay." Mamish had no objection. They would definitely have to conduct exercises with other brothers in the future. Even if there were other emotions in their eyes, they were still brothers.
The matter was settled just like that.
That night, the warship Nasser quietly passed through the Suez Canal, crossed the Red Sea, headed east, entered the Gulf of Rest, and sailed to the Jubail Shipyard.
The appearance of such a warship here should supposedly arouse the vigilance of the Parthian Kingdom. The people of the Pyramid Kingdom were still a little worried, but it turned out that they were too worried and nothing unexpected happened. It seemed that the Parthian Kingdom had no hostility towards this warship.
The huge warship finally entered the dock. It has not been sailing for long and has been remodeled again. This phenomenon is rare.
When the crew disembarked, they were provided with one-stop service for food, drink and entertainment under the arrangement of the big dog owner, leaving only a few crew members at the scene.
Hakim did not leave. As the captain, he must stay here so that if there is any accident, he can deal with it as soon as possible.
When his men dispersed, he was surprised to see many oriental faces appearing.
“Hakim, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Qin.” Salman introduced a young man to him with a smile.
Mr. Qin!
Hakim quickly reached out his hand and shook it enthusiastically.
“Our chief Mamish has been to the East many times and has a good relationship with the Mingzhou Group. He has also praised Mr. Qin as the most outstanding man in the world many times. I didn’t expect that I could see you here in person.”
“These are all compliments. I heard that you are not satisfied with this warship and want to modify it, so I brought people over to help.” Qin Tao said.
It is true that Qin Tao's help is not needed for such a small matter, but Qin Tao is really bored at home. After launching the amphibious assault ship built by Lao Maozi, there is nothing to do. He received a request from a big businessman to help transform the northwest wind. The invitation came immediately.
How could Salman know so much? The entire renovation plan was the idea given by Qin Tao.
Of course, this warship must be able to carry J-31A fighters, but it cannot carry more. A few of them can be maintained for training. If there is an emergency, more can be added temporarily. Moreover, the modification must be done at the Jubail Shipyard. This is also It can make big dog owners feel a sense of accomplishment.
Anyway, idle is idle.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. With your help, there will definitely be no problems with the modification of this warship." Hakim said, "We are absolutely assured."
“Then why are you still here? It’s so hard at sea. When we get to the shore, why don’t we find a place to play?” Qin Tao said.
Hakim was speechless. How do you answer this?
“Why, you still don’t believe us? This small amount of work can be completed in half a month. Wouldn’t you like to relax for half a month and then come back to take delivery of the new ship?”
Of course, half a month is bragging. If you just change the deck, half a month will be fine. But if you want to change the internal electronic equipment, it will take two or three months to start. But it doesn't matter, as long as these people leave, then I will be happy to forget about Shu. , come back in two or three months, or even half a month, everything that needs to be dismantled has been dismantled, what can they do?
Salman also said beside him: "Yes, Hakim, we will cover all your travel expenses. You can go wherever you want."
Hakim was tempted.
“Hakim, you haven’t seen snow yet, right? Do you want to go to the north and see the snow and ice?”
Hakim definitely doesn’t feel much about sunshine, beaches, and sunbathing. After all, they have it here every day, but as for snow, they probably won’t see it in their lifetime.
"Yes Yes."
"I have friends over there in Damao. Let me say hello and you go over there to see the snow."
“We’ll charter some planes for you,” Salman said.
"well."
So, all the soldiers from the Pyramid Kingdom left. When they all left, Qin Tao looked at the huge warship and said with a smile: "Tear it down, remove all the electronic equipment and combat systems produced in France." !”
If we just weld an elevator and a jump deck, of course there is no need to drive away all these people, but now, if these equipment have to be dismantled, the people of the Pyramid Country will feel distressed.
"They all have to be dismantled. We can't guarantee whether the electronic equipment inside will be left with a backdoor by the French." Qin Tao looked at Salman: "The warships of the Pyramid State will also become an important part of protecting the waters here in the future. , to fight in formation, we must protect the safety of the entire formation."
"Of course." Salman nodded: "The French are very bad. The war more than ten years ago was caused by a virus inside a printer in the air defense system, which caused the entire French technical command system to completely fail."
This is an old joke. When the Anxi Gulf War broke out, Yilak was beaten into disgrace and had no chance to resist. Especially the air defense command system was in a mess.
In fact, in front of the multinational forces at that time, everyone had to kneel, and there was no room for resistance at all, not even Da Mao. But Da Mao had mushroom bombs in his hands. If he couldn't win a conventional war, he would plant mushrooms. Silly Damu didn't have that. this ability.
Sha Damu was beaten badly and had to find an excuse, so he quickly locked on the computer virus. It was because a virus was built into the printer that caused the entire air defense command system to malfunction.
In fact, this statement cannot withstand scrutiny. If in the 21st century, network printers become popular, and printers can be directly connected to the network, equipped with cache or even large-capacity hard drives, it is indeed possible to steal secrets and convert printed data All ship out via the web.
However, printers in the 1990s still used a 25-pin parallel port, and there were almost no viruses that used this data channel to spread.
However, this does not prevent the big guys from speaking out, which can at least damage the reputation of the French military industry.
Salman fully supports Qin Tao’s statement. In order for this kind of super battleship to be purified, a combat command system from the East must be installed on it! Anyway, I have already told the people from the Pyramid Country.
Of course, when we talked about it at the time, they thought it was just for additional installations. Now, there is no room for additional installations. We can only replace the outdated equipment with new ones!
“We need to conduct technical inspection on the dismantled equipment.” Qin Tao continued: “We will take these equipment away directly. Do you have any objections?”
“Of course not, there’s no point in keeping it.”
Salman has great trust in Qin Tao.
Overhead, reconnaissance satellites flew by.
In the past few days, Duquesne has been feeling his eyelids twitching, as if something was about to happen. However, the shipyard was safe and sound, and there was no sign of any crisis.
"Dickena, we just received news from the navy." Lucas suddenly walked in.
"what news?"
“The Nasser has appeared in the dock of Jubail Shipyard!”
What?
Diquena stood up immediately: "What are they going to do? Find the people from the Pyramid Country immediately!"
The No. 2 ship was still being outfitted. Some people from the Pyramid Kingdom stayed to watch. After receiving the news from Duquesne, the leader Edelman ran in: "What's wrong?"
“Why did the Nasser we built for you show up in Goudahu’s shipyard?” Duquesne said angrily: “What are you going to do?”
"Oh, that's the case. During the voyage, we found that something was wrapped around the propeller. We had no choice but to drive it to the dock of the shipyard for maintenance."
“Propeller winding?”
“Yes, what do you think will happen?”
"Okay, that's okay. I thought there was something wrong with the quality of the warship. If there is a problem, I hope you will contact us as soon as possible and let us carry out the modification." Ducaina said with a smile.
“No problem, French build quality is good.”
DiCenna nodded. In that case, what else is there to say? It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Looking at Edelman’s leaving figure, Lucas still had an ominous premonition in his heart.
the next day.
“We got the latest photos and found that steel plates were being welded next to the dock. It looked like a slope.”
“Their shipyard needs to be renovated, right? Lucas, don’t worry.”
Diquesne has a big heart.
The next two days were fine, but on the fifth day, Lucas ran over anxiously again. .
“The radar on the ship island has been removed!”
"What?" Duquesne was no longer calm now. He took over the satellite photos, and the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.
“Edelman, where is Edelman? Tell us what’s going on!”
Edelman took it in surprise: "I'm sorry, I don't know either. I'll call you and ask."
A few minutes later, he came back slowly: "It's not a big deal. When we at the Jubail Shipyard were working on it, the crane hit the antenna and we needed to dismantle it for repairs."
The crane was damaged? This big dog owner is really unreliable! Duquesne thought to himself that they would definitely not be able to repair it and would have to replace it with a new one, which would earn them hundreds of thousands more!
