From the current point of view, it is not so much that this Academician Xu is here to smash the field, but rather to die down.

The competition in the military-industrial system has always been result-oriented.

Obviously, now people's electromagnetic catapult projects can already carry out ejection tests of carrier-based aircraft, if you are not completely sure, how can you be so bold?

However, their steam catapult can only be ejected in the laboratory, and it is a big step behind others in terms of reliability and technological advancement!

Therefore, how dare Academician Xu use this to smash people's fields?

It's just that you won't die if you don't reach the Yellow River!

There was no extra greetings, and the group came directly to the parking garage.

"Academician Ma, how are you preparing, why don't we start directly?"

Commander Wu Bisheng looked up and down the entire hangar, and saw that the silver-white painted electromagnetic catapult was like a snake gathering momentum, lying in the center of the hangar against the warehouse gate, straight into the depth of more than 100 meters; its tail was a power supply module of the integrated power system composed of dense wires, and the belly of the snake was an electromagnetic emission module composed of an energy storage system, a pulse power system and a pulse emitting device; and the whole The door of the hangar was wide open, like a big snake's head with its mouth wide open, and the two J-15 fighters were like chickens in the mouth of a snake, eager to try.

Nodding, although he had already understood the structure of the electromagnetic catapult, to be honest, he didn't see anything, and the purpose of bringing so many high-ranking generals here this time was not just to inspect an electromagnetic catapult......

Save time and get down to business early!

"No problem, ready to start. Academician Ma nodded confidently, the test had already been successful thousands of times, and this time, it was just to turn the projectile into a fighter, and there was not much difficulty at all.

Calm and composed, without joy or sorrow, he turned around and instructed the staff around him: "Attention to all units, attention to all units, the test has officially begun, and irrelevant personnel please leave the site immediately, and irrelevant personnel please leave the site immediately." ”

Under the order, the on-site personnel evacuated in an orderly manner.

Under the arrangement of Academician Ma, Commander Wu and others also followed the large army and evacuated to a place with a wide field of vision.

A few minutes later, the site was emptied, leaving only a few staff members operating the instruments;

Outside the parked 'plane' hangar, the pilot of the J-15 carrier-based aircraft also boarded the plane, and from the binoculars, Liu Feng could clearly see the two test flight 'heroes' took a deep breath, instantly adjusted their state, and stared at the runway with a resolute expression.

Ejection tests are about to begin.

Liu Feng looked nervous.

Whether the electromagnetic catapult can successfully catapult the carrier-based aircraft is related to the technical route of the future aircraft carrier development.

However, the starting personnel were neither a few generals at the scene, nor Academician Ma Mingwei, the chief catapult engineer, but a commander wearing a yellow vest not far from the J-15 fighter.

As the commander's ready command sounded, the pilot tightened his expression and made a ready gesture - at this moment, Liu Feng held his breath, Academician Ma held his breath, and everyone present held his breath!

Subsequently, accompanied by a standard aircraft carrier style gesture, the word "start" in the commander's mouth fell synchronously, and under the pitch-black power supply module of the integrated power system, an electric arc flashed instantly, and the energy storage system instantly released a huge amount of energy, which continued, converted into a strong magnetic field through the pulse power system, and finally instantly emitted through the pulse transmitter, acting on the tow bar of the aircraft.

Everyone saw that the J-15 fighter plane was like an arrow from the string, instantly gaining a huge acceleration, under the continuous action of electromagnetic force, crossing a runway about 150 meters long, and then the nose of the plane stretched, and the entire fighter plane flew like an eagle with its head high.

The camera faithfully recorded this historic moment......

"Bang Bang!"

In an instant, there was a round of warm applause from the 'machine' magazine.

However, Academician Ma, who saw the successful take-off of the carrier-based aircraft, did not show the slightest look of joy, but turned around and ordered: "Real-time indicator report!"

"Maximum instantaneous acceleration: 5 g, average acceleration: 3 g, take-off speed: 101.5 m/s, ratio of maximum traction force to average traction force: 1.07, ejection energy: 125 megajoules, take-off cycle time: 45 seconds, take-off weight: 32.5 tons, supplementary energy requirements: 6,350 kilowatts. ”

"Very good!" Academician Ma nodded with satisfaction, everything - normal!

Relieved, he continued to order: "Make a second ejection!"

As a result, in less than 15 seconds, the electromagnetic catapult was fully charged, and the second J-15 fighter was successfully bounced, and the data indicators that came with it were all normal!

It worked!

The two warhawks took off one after another, and the data indicators of the aircraft transmitted back were all normal.

"Good!"

"We made it!"

"We successfully carried out an electromagnetic ejection of a fighter!"

At this moment, even if he was as calm as Liu Feng, he couldn't help but applaud excitedly; Fei Xiujin was so excited that he hugged Du Hong, screaming and jumping; and the other staff members didn't care, and some people were even more excited than him!

Looking at the fighter planes soaring in the sky, the generals present were also flushed.

They conducted an electromagnetic catapult test one step ahead of the M people!

Once again, they are leading the way in new technologies!

And the aircraft carriers of Huaxia are no longer short-legged shrimp that others ridicule, they also have reliable horizontal catapults!

It was truly an exciting day and a day that deserves to go down in history!

However, before Commander Wu Bisheng, who was excited, had time to express his excitement, a young figure instantly came into view, and the whole person was splashed with a cold heart as if a bucket of ice water had fallen from the sky in the winter moon.

If there is no such person, this moment is indeed a fortunate event worthy of his excitement and even drinking three glasses.

However......

Electromagnetic catapult?

Aircraft carrier?

hehe

It's just a pity to eat meat and abandon it!

With an even more exciting interstellar era, what is a mere aircraft carrier electromagnetic catapult?

Even the fact that there has not yet been a test launch of the electromagnetic cannon makes him more worthy of concern......

It's a bummer!

Shook his head.

However, no one noticed Commander Wu's expression.

Especially Academician Xu Lerong, the whole person has long been like a frosted eggplant;

At this moment, he is indeed excited, the country has such a sharp weapon, it is really a great fortune for the country!

But at this moment, his heart was even more cool, because his steam catapult project, their steam catapult project—it's over......

Whether it is the maximum ejection weight, average average acceleration, the ratio of maximum traction force to average traction force, take-off cycle time and other key parameters, or the economy, stability and convenience of follow-up maintenance of the catapult, the steam catapult they are developing is a complete failure compared to this electromagnetic catapult!

Mechanically clapping.

He was already mourning more than his heart was dead.

As for Academician Ma Mingwei.

Is he excited?

Agitated!

But it was not enough to set off a storm in his heart.

Because all the people's demeanor was in full view of him.

Except for a few lieutenant generals and major generals, Commander Wu, Political Commissar Qian, and several other generals did not show too much excitement.

In particular, Academician Xu Lerong's expression deeply stung him.

At this moment, it stands to reason that he should be very proud, but the moment he saw Academician Xu Lerong's sluggish expression, he couldn't be proud.

As the chief project engineer, he can fully feel the grief and even despair in the other party's heart!

For him, the electromagnetic catapult project is like his child, his own child could not be valued by the 'grandfather', and he had such pain; however, for Academician Xu, the steam catapult project is not the same?

Moreover, the result faced by Academician Xu was even more tragic - he died halfway......

It's just that, compared to Academician Xu, he Ma Mingwei, why isn't this the case?

Especially after having that person!

Seeing the young figure next to him who was still clapping wildly, a wry smile also appeared on Academician Ma's mouth.

……

A few minutes later, the two fighters were docked in the 'hangar', and immediately after that, they would continue to carry out the next round of catapult tests.

But the generals present did not have the nature to continue to appreciate.

After making a congratulatory and encouraging speech, Commander Wu hurriedly left the scene with his group amid the doubts of the other generals and came to the conference room that had been prepared long ago.

A major conference on the development of the Navy and the construction of aircraft carriers is about to begin here.

"Academician Ma, congratulations!"

On the way to the conference room, Liu Feng happily congratulated,

"The successful replacement of steam catapult by electromagnetic catapult is already a sure thing!"

Looking at Academician Xu's distant back, Academician Ma shook his head:

"Without your help, our electromagnetic catapult would not have succeeded, speaking of which, the person who should be congratulated is you. As for whether it can replace steam catapults, alas, in fact, it is no longer important. ”

Liu Feng nodded, he didn't know why, he always felt that the interest of these people didn't seem to be very high.

Academician Xu is just that, Academician Ma, Commander Wu, Political Commissar Zhang and others, why are they like this?

Could it be that the successful research of the aircraft carrier's electromagnetic catapult is not enough to make these people happy?

Or have these people already cultivated to the realm where joy and anger are invisible?

Shook his head.

Looking in the direction of Academician Ma's gaze, he also saw the back of Xiao Suo, and he was thoughtful.

Long.

"In short, no matter what, it was you who took the lead in fulfilling the dream of the catapult and take-off of the Chinese aircraft carrier, the century-old navy, at this moment, we can finally have an explanation for those martyrs who have passed away!"

"If China does not develop aircraft carriers, I will not be blind to death!"

Thinking of the old man Liu Huaqing's oath, Liu Feng sighed secretly in his heart.

It's a pity that the old general died last year, and he can no longer see the moment when China's first aircraft carrier was delivered to the Navy.

The two didn't say much, and followed the large group to the conference room.

"Next, in addition to our first aircraft carrier, our People's Navy will also have two domestically produced aircraft carriers in the next 20 years! And these two domestically produced aircraft carriers will be built directly with straight decks and electromagnetic catapults, do you have any specific opinions?"

Commander Wu Bisheng spoke first.

"Commander!" Rear Admiral Wang from the North Sea Fleet stood up with a puzzled face, "I have no opinion on the direct electromagnetic catapult, but two domestic aircraft carriers, plus a training Varyag, will not be enough, you know, the form that our navy will face in the future ......"

As the plan for country M's return to the Asia-Pacific region continues, the situation facing the navy in this period of time, and even in the next few decades, will be even more severe than in any other period, and Rear Admiral Wang cannot think of any other way to curb country M's aggressive attitude and respond to the constant provocations of other countries.

At least, it is enough to develop 6 aircraft carriers!

Of course, he didn't have his own careful thoughts.

The three aircraft carriers, divided into the three major fleets, cannot even be stuffed with teeth, but the competition in the navy has always been fierce, because there are often too many monks and too few people, and some people have no equipment, and even the old warships from several decades ago are still reluctant to retire and repair and repair for several years.

And if he can really develop 6 aircraft carrier formations within 20 years, he can't say that he can also compete for the position of commander of the aircraft carrier formation, after all, as a man, as a soldier, and also as a navy, who has not fantasized about the moment when he commands an aircraft carrier and crosses the ocean?

'Resentful' glanced at Liu Feng, how could he, Wu Bisheng, not know the truth in this?

However, the decision has been made above, and being able to keep 3 aircraft carriers is already the result of his 'argument based on reason'.

Not even to mention the vigorous development of aircraft carriers, even the entire navy may have to be completely dismantled in the future......

"The state has already made a decision on how many aircraft carriers to develop, and it is not something we can do," Commander Wu shook his head, "As soldiers, we must obey orders! As for the grim form we will face in the future, will we not dare to show our swords without aircraft carriers?"

Major General Wang could only be speechless.

As for what Commander Wu meant, Political Commissar Qian and several other commanders of the detachment completely understood, after all, they were also figures who had participated in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse meeting, and when they heard Major General Wang's doubts, they could only smile bitterly and look at each other without saying a word.

"Very well, since there are no objections, this is the end of the discussion about the construction of aircraft carriers. Commander Wu said with a final word.

Several other lieutenant generals and major generals were speechless, can this also be called a discussion?

However, seeing that their commanders had no objections, even if they had big questions, they could only hold it in their hearts.

"Next, I would like to announce an issue. Looking up at the other detachment naval commanders, Commander Wu sighed and said with a gloomy expression, "I have asked the Central Military Commission that starting from the second half of this year, our navy will set up a brand-new department, called the 'Navy Future Strategic Development Planning Department', which is directly responsible to the naval command and the Central Military Commission.

"As for the specific responsibilities of the new department and the ...... of the chief officer in charge of the new department" Speaking of this, Commander Wu glanced up at Liu Feng with a complicated expression, "Professor Liu, do you have any suggestions?"
