Chapter 469: Fishing in Debate
Huating Naval Academy, conference room.
When Stroh and Delano walked in, Delano was still a little excited: "Where is that big-haired pilot? Where is he?"
“He is over there, ready.” Qin Tao pointed to the rostrum.
Over the rostrum, two strange things appeared.
In appearance, it looks like a flat cylinder with a diameter of about two meters. It stands there with a track on the outside. It looks like the flat cylinder can rotate around the track.
"Flight simulator?" Delano looked over curiously: "Or Terminator-2?"
With the popularity of Top Gun, various major game companies have begun to launch combat-type games, such as Activision's "Apache Strike" and Lucas Studio's "Their Finest Hour" . Sid Meier's "F15 Assault Eagle 2", Sega launched their famous "AfterBuner" at this time, which was the first cabin-based body-sensing shooting game and was very popular in arcades at the time.
In "Terminator 2", this is what John Connor played in the arcade when he was a boy.
The current flight simulator looks somewhat similar to the AfterBuner.
"That's right, it's a flight simulator." Qin Tao said: "I think if you just talk with your mouth, it might not be realistic, so you might as well go to the flight simulator to compete. It's more convenient. Of course, After all, it is a flight simulator, so you have to do it alone to fly the plane and operate the radar."
"Then you have to make sure that the parameters inside are correct." Delano had already walked to the flight simulator and looked at the simple layout inside: the display in the front, the pilot's control stick in the middle, and the seat behind. Can things be perfectly integrated with the real situation?
“If the parameters are incorrect, you can raise it and our technical staff can modify the parameters accordingly.” Qin Tao said.
"Okay, in that case, I can give it a try." Delano nodded: "If it is too different from the real airplane, I will smash it to pieces."
Stroh's face looked a little ugly. You just like to resort to force. If you smash this thing, you will probably have to pay compensation according to the price!
Shepkov had been sitting there waiting for a while. When Delano sat on it, he showed a smile: "Mr. Delano, do you want to get used to it first?"
"Of course not, we'll start right away!" Delano said: "I will let you know what the real charm of a heavy air superiority fighter is!"
Stroh sat on a seat aside and looked at the people coming in one after another.
“They are?” Stroh asked in surprise.
"Some students and teachers from the Naval Academy." Qin Tao said: "The venue is rented from them, and the flight simulator is also rented from them, so they come to join in the fun. As you know, in universities, it is very common to attend classes. Common."
Stroh nodded.
Many people came in, not only from the navy, but even from the air force!
Mr. Lin walked up to Qin Tao, sat there, and began to communicate with him in Chinese.
“You kid, you carry out surprise attacks every time. We transported this flight simulator from Yanliang overnight by plane!”
Qin Tao smiled: "Your Air Force is very wealthy and has such a good thing, but the Navy doesn't even want it!"
Stroh stared at him. He didn't understand Chinese.
"Straw, this is a teacher from the college. He is negotiating with me about the rent." Qin Tao explained briefly.
Stroh nodded and motioned for Qin Tao to continue.
"Furthermore, this is also good for the Air Force. Here are the most elite U.S. Navy pilots who specialize in flying Tomcats. After flying the simulator a few times, he will be able to point out problems with the data in it. When the time comes, you can adjust the data and practice fighting Tomcats." It can be used in the confrontation of cat fighters."
This kind of professional simulator is certainly not the kind of arcade game. Although it looks very similar to Sega's game equipment, it is actually the most advanced flight simulator of the Air Force!
The cost of training pilots is very high. As early as when airplanes first appeared, flight simulators also began to develop.
At the beginning, it was just a wooden bucket sitting under the buttocks, which was very primitive. It was not until electronic technology developed rapidly that flight simulators began to become more and more advanced.
Domestic modern flight simulators were developed in the 1980s. Of course, the initial pilot training was very difficult. It even had to start with the simplest YES/NO training to practice human-computer interaction with the display.
However, by the 1990s, the development in this area was already very good, and there were many related programs that could simulate different aircraft types, and pilots could even use them to conduct paper confrontation exercises.
Equipment is very expensive, and some of it is even more expensive to purchase than a real machine. However, its use cost is very low. It just consumes electricity. Unlike real machines, tens of thousands of dollars are lost after one takeoff and landing.
Only Qin Tao had the nerve to ask the Air Force to bring over the most advanced flight simulator, and he did so so confidently.
Mr. Lin smiled: "You kid, you know how to make excuses."
Stroh, who was on the side, had been paying attention to the conversation between the two. Seeing Mr. Lin's face smiling, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the negotiation between the two had finally come to an end.
Qin Tao turned his head and glanced at Stroh: "I just discussed the request with him. As long as you allow these people outside to observe the next debate, we will not charge our fees."
“Debate? Do we still have to debate?”
Stroh was a little curious.
"That's right." Qin Tao said: "You'd better have a more exciting debate and let those old fools be convinced by you. After all, the old fools only have real aircraft carriers starting from the Kuznetsov. What about you? You have had a large number of aircraft carriers since World War II, so your experience is far superior to theirs, and you must not admit defeat!"
Stroh nodded: "That's right, we must not admit defeat!"
Qin Tao took out his briefcase with a smile and took out a few pieces of manuscript paper: "Here are some debate topics I thought of to help you defeat Lao Maozi in all aspects."
Stroll took it in surprise, glanced at it a few times, and then smiled: "Yes, that's right! The topics above are all good for us. Let's debate them one by one, and we must make the old man lose face. !”
As he spoke, the flight simulation was over.
Delano jumped out of it happily: "Humph, why are you bragging? I can easily beat him up, especially if he is within sight range, I can shoot him down with my machine cannon!"
Over there, Shepkov also came down.
"Comparing the Yak-38 with the Tomcat fighter jet is simply unfair. If we use our Su-33 carrier-based aircraft and our Kuznetsov, we will definitely defeat you!"
"Your Kuznetsov cannot compare with us." Stroh took over the words: "Our aircraft carrier has comprehensive advantages. In this field, you are still primary school students!"
"What? Elementary school students? We just took different paths!" Of course Shepkov would not admit it.
"Okay, then let's make a detailed argument. First, let's talk about deck operations." At this time, Stroh was very proud and had no idea that he was playing the role of a teacher. The people below began to take it seriously. The ground started to listen.
There is no aircraft carrier major in China, and neither does Lao Maozi. In this world, the most professional one is of course the beautiful country.
Now, Stroh, who once served as the acting captain on the beautiful aircraft carrier, came to give them a lesson. Of course, they had to listen carefully.
Some people brought their Walkmans, and some opened their notebooks directly, extremely seriously.
Li Yan sat there, feeling excited.
Li Yan was born in July 1961. He is now thirty-five years old. He is in the best years of a person. When he was 18 years old, he came to the Second Aviation Preparatory School of the Air Force through recruitment and became a pilot student. After three years of flight training, he was assigned to the Naval Aviation Corps with excellent flying results and became a naval fighter pilot.
Why did he fly from the Air Force to the Navy? Of course, this was because the Navy did not have a dedicated aviation academy at that time, so the Air Force had to help with training.
Li Yan trained seriously in the navy, was down-to-earth, and took one step at a time. He won third-class merit twice and was promoted to squadron leader.
Just when he continued to advance on the road of pilot into the fifth year, he ushered in a turning point. As a pilot, he changed his career to learn warship operation!
He joined the famous pilot captain class. From heaven to sea, everything is possible.
Everyone knows that the pilot captain class has only one mission: to reserve talents for aircraft carrier captains. Now, watching the Oriental Sea City Wall being refitted, all the pilot captain class members are looking forward to it. They Knowing that he might become the captain of the first aircraft carrier in the country!
They study very seriously.
This time, it was a rare opportunity to listen to the aircraft carrier captain of the beautiful country explain the operation of the aircraft carrier. Everyone listened very carefully.
"If I remember correctly, the deck workers on your Kuznetsov are wearing ordinary navy uniforms, right? This is an extremely unprofessional behavior!" Stroh began to explain.
Lao Maozi's navy wore uniforms and did not distinguish them by color at all. It was not until 2013 that they began to learn from the West and use different vest colors to distinguish them.
"Why is it unprofessional?" Shepkov certainly disagreed: "Does deck work need to be so complicated? Wearing different vests is not a stage show!"
"Stage show? You are really ignorant!" Delano started taunting mode: "However, your deck has always been a mess, which is in line with your usual style!"
"Delano, take a break and let me explain. There are many people sitting down below." Stroll said. He wanted to save face. In front of so many people, he could say something too harsh and affect the situation. It's not good, and it would be even worse if Delano's character was to do it later.
Tank drivers are always loud because the noise inside the tank is too loud, even if they are wearing tank hats. Therefore, the old tank commanders in the past liked to kick the driver on the left shoulder to turn left. , kick the right shoulder to turn right. The noise on the deck is definitely no worse than that of a tank.
“So, on our deck, gestures are commonly used for communication operations. We use vests of different colors to identify personnel in different positions, which can greatly improve the work efficiency of the crew.”
If there are no vests of different colors to distinguish, then the work on the deck will be messy. For example, after the plane has landed and needs to taxi to the parking area, a blue vest is needed. To refuel the plane, a purple vest is needed. If there is no Color differentiation would be very troublesome.
You need to tow the aircraft. Find someone. Find one person who is in charge of the arresting cable, and find another one who is in charge of refueling. It will take more than a dozen people to find the required personnel.
It is convenient to have various vests.
“Huh, tell me what gestures you have! How can we improve work efficiency?” Shepkov did his duty.
Everyone knows that vests of different colors perform different tasks, but only professionals know how to operate them. For the public, at most they only know the take-off posture. After all, the take-off style of the yellow vest, Everyone knows that, but what about the others? How to cheer? How do you decide whether to add half a tank or a full tank of oil?
"Let me introduce you." Delano stood in the center of the rostrum, allowing everyone to see clearly. At this time, he seemed to be facing a group of old haters. Hum, look at it. You guys are so ignorant!
“First of all, let me explain that after the carrier-based aircraft lands, if it reaches the parking area with the help of the green vest, this requires the pilot and the green vest to cooperate with the gestures, and we hardly speak.”
Everyone below was watching carefully. At the same time, a camera hidden in the control room also began to adjust the focus to clearly capture Delano's gestures.
As a spectator, Mr. Lin was extremely emotional there. He knew that the whole process was Qin Taodong's hand and foot, allowing these foreigners to pass on their valuable aircraft carrier operating experience without reservation. Qin Tao also said in the report, This is called fishing tactics.
What is fishing? At first, everyone didn’t understand it, but now they understand, it’s just using bait to catch these people.
What is bait? It is to defeat Shepkov and win, to show how mature the beautiful country's aircraft carrier is, and to belittle Mao's aircraft carrier as worthless, and in the process of belittling, all kinds of secrets are revealed.
Qin Tao was also very satisfied with his results. The training time for Shepkov was very short, but now it seems that Shepkov has mastered the essence of fishing. In later generations of the Internet, this is how foreigners come to fish, and even let him Domestic military industry experts are frustrated.
“So, what if you want to refuel? Can you just use gestures and communicate without words?” Shepkov continued fishing.
“Of course, we can be accurate to a hundred pounds.” Delano continued to popularize science.
In this way, from the landing of the carrier-based aircraft, to the take-off of the carrier-based aircraft, to the cleaning of the deck, without realizing it, we talked about it for a whole morning.
"How about it? Our deck operations are quite mature, right? This is accumulated over decades of experience." Stroh said.
"Of course I'm not convinced. After all I've said, it's all just talk on paper!" Shepkov said.
"Then what are you going to do?" Delano said: "Are you going to simulate it again like you just came in?"
“Simulation is a simulation, who is afraid of whom?” Shepkov finished speaking and looked at Qin Tao.
“Everyone, it’s already noon, do we want to have something to eat in the canteen? In the afternoon, we will put up two models with carrier-based aircraft on them to simulate various operations.”
“Okay, let Da Mao be convinced of his defeat!” Delano was very confident.
Does Damao have experience in operating aircraft carriers?
The previous Kiev-class was just a half-baked one. It only had a deck on one side and did not encounter complicated operating conditions at all. As for the Kuznetsov, although it was a large aircraft carrier with an angled deck, it was so big. Now they have just equipped the carrier-based aircraft, and they have never actually operated them. They don't even have an aircraft carrier training base. The carrier-based aircraft pilots have not undergone complete training and are not even qualified to land carrier-based aircraft!
How else to compare?
Delano and Stroh were both confident. After dinner, two large aircraft carrier deck models appeared in the same conference room in the afternoon.
One of them is the Saratoga, and the other is the Kuznetsov with a jump deck.
The model is hung directly on the wall and is made of iron. The carrier-based aircraft is equipped with magnets. This is of course done so that the people below can see it clearly.
Various problems, how to avoid interference during takeoff and landing, how to dispatch aircraft, these may seem like trivial matters, but they are the accumulation of decades of experience of the Chinese navy. In order to show their rich experience, Delano kept giving examples to explain how to solve various problems.
"With the maximum number of carrier-based aircraft, half of the aircraft are parked on the deck. In order not to affect the dispatch of carrier-based aircraft, we need to vacate the oblique deck. In this way, there are more than 20 carrier-based aircraft, directly It is parked in the take-off area of the bow. After taking off one after another, the take-off area of the bow is vacated, and you can continue to use the catapult on the bow. Does your half-baked Kuznetsov have this capability? ?”
Speaking of the number of aircraft carried, aircraft carriers with jump decks are inherently disadvantaged because the inclined jump deck cannot dock aircraft. Even if it is parked, other fighters cannot take off.
This is the huge advantage of catapult aircraft carriers.
So, when the British built a new aircraft carrier, because the displacement was larger, they simply placed the jump deck on the left, and there was a narrow horizontal strip on the right. This part of the area could also park several aircraft.
However, even if it can stop, the aircraft can only be used sequentially, which is completely incomparable with the US-made aircraft carrier.
"Our jump deck can be used in cold areas, can you do it? In cold areas, if your deck freezes, how can you still take off and land fighter planes?" Of course Shepkov would not admit defeat. He would just admit defeat. How could he continue fishing? ?
Lao Maozi uses the jump deck. Even on that nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, with steam catapults, the jump deck is still used. It is better to reduce the number of carrier-based aircraft. An important issue is fighting in cold areas.
Americans don’t care. After all, their latitudes are lower. Moreover, there are very few regional conflicts in the world that require Americans to send aircraft carriers to cold areas. But Lao Maozi is different. He is born in cold areas.
“We can use the engine’s tail flames to scorch the deck!” Delano said.
“Yes, you can do many things with the exhaust flames of the engine. It is said that you also use the engine nozzle for barbecue.” Shepkov said.
This sentence went beyond the limit. Qin Tao glanced at Shepkov dissatisfied. He quickly lowered his head. Wrong, wrong!
However, this sentence did not arouse Delano's dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he was very proud: "Yes, we use the engine nozzle to barbecue! We love life, and you will do nothing else but drink." Yes, it is said that you even stole the alcohol used on the plane to drink!"
This is not a rumor. When the MiG-25 was stationed in the army, alcohol was used to increase thrust. As a result, ground crews often drank alcohol secretly, even if their superiors told them it was industrial alcohol.
“It’s getting late today, and I haven’t convinced the other party. I think we can come back tomorrow. How about we go drinking and having barbecue today?”
At this time, several people nodded.
Of course we have to eat barbecue!
Of course you have to drink!
Qin Tao took the three people to enjoy life, while the remaining people in the conference room began to become lively.
“Zhang Zhen, how much did you understand just now?” Li Yan asked Zhang Zhen.
Zhang Zhen had no experience as a pilot, and he had been appointed as the captain of the destroyer No. 138. However, the warship was still being refitted, so after Zhang Zhen heard about what was going on here, he strongly requested to come.
He is also confident. When we have an aircraft carrier in the future, we must have an **** fleet. Although his No. 138 does not have a four-sided phased array radar, it has the largest displacement and will definitely join the aircraft carrier **** formation.
So, he came.
Zhang Zhen and Li Yan have known each other for a long time. They were sitting together just now.
“I don’t understand part of it, for example, about the cold zone catapult…”
The two of them started to communicate like this, and other people were also communicating. Some people even went up to get the model and started testing it. They continued to communicate until about ten o'clock in the evening, when the conference room closed, and they reluctantly left.
PS: I would like to recommend a book by a good **** friend. This guy is the one who led the way. He led the Heroes of East China on the path of online literature. This guy is also an experienced writer. If you like fairy tales, you can read it.
Title of the book: Living to the end of one’s life, do you think it’s a life simulation?
Author: Hua Dongjie
Introduction:
This is a world of fairy tales. Immortal-Mortal Miasma is rampant here, and all mortals are infected with the disease. Once an immortal is infected, his or her cultivation will be reduced at best, or return to the heavens at worst. Therefore, immortals regard mortals as snakes and scorpions, killing them at every turn, leaving immortals and mortals separated forever.
Li Chengfei came through time. As a mortal, he is determined to pursue immortality. In order to embark on the path of cultivating immortality, he makes every effort and always walks on thin ice.
Going to ancient ruins, he did not dare to walk into the fog;
A mysterious immortal was born, and he did not dare to approach and communicate with him casually;
The emperor felt that his achievements were so great that he suppressed and ostracized him, and wanted to confiscate his family. He felt that his life was short and did not want to waste it on meaningless worldly battles, so he tolerated everything...
A whole life passed like this, with endless regrets and longing for immortality, and he died.
result…
“Nankeyimeng, life simulation is over, ready to restart...”
Li Chengfei: “???”
When I was dying of illness, I sat up in shock. It was me hanging on the wall!
