Chapter 358: Gathering the Stars
Liu Feng is not a military expert, he can only be regarded as a pseudo-military fan at best, and his views on the development of battleships and aircraft carriers have always been hearsay, let alone any lofty theories, and he can only try to interpret them from a technical point of view.
"On Earth, we have always heard of spears and shields. The reason why aircraft carriers can replace the dominance of battleships is because the attack of aircraft carrier-based aircraft is far greater than the defense of battleships, so battleships are eliminated, but if the defense materials are improved, and the airborne weapons that can break the battleship's defense cannot be miniaturized, then battleships will always be the mainstream. ”
"So, whether our 'spaceship' is more powerful in spears or stronger in shields depends on who is more rapid in the development of our weapons and materials science in the future. At least, for now, I think the spear is sharper. ”
The old expert nodded: "I think so too." There is no doubt that the space carrier will definitely become the main battle weapon in the interstellar age, and with the gradual breakthrough of the miniaturization of energy weapons, it will definitely be able to replace the position of missiles in the future space, but compared with the miniaturization of energy weapons, the miniaturization of carrier-based aircraft may not be so easy......"
Liu Feng also nodded: "What you said is very reasonable. At least until our space fighters cannot be miniaturized, if we encounter an 'enemy', the 'battleship' is likely to become our main weapon in a war......"
Absorbing the high-minded talk of the two experts, the other experts couldn't help but nod.
Subsequently, someone raised a few targeted questions, and Liu Feng also gave detailed answers.
Through non-stop questions and counter-questions, the sparks of knowledge continue to collide in such brainstorming, and for a while, everyone present feels that they have gained a lot.
In this happy situation, this temporary lecture was also declared a complete success.
"Professor Liu, to be honest, it's too condescending for you not to come to our military industrial system to engage in weapons research. ”
On the way back to the accommodation, Academician Ma and Liu Feng chatted.
Liu Feng smiled: "Oh, how can you see it?"
Ma Mingwei shook his head: "The development of science and technology has always been the first of the army and then the people. As for you, you have first made a breakthrough in civilian use, whether it is water treatment super materials or antimatter technology, your first consideration is how to be promoted, although it is also of great help to the military, but the ordinary people have benefited more. It's just that, with your talent, if you can focus on the development of national defense science and technology, you will definitely achieve greater achievements! Seriously, after the antimatter order is completed, have you ever thought of joining our military industrial system?"
Liu Feng was stunned, he really hadn't thought about how to develop in the future, and until now, he was still a 'scattered person' and did not belong to any department.
To be honest, the military industrial system is still very attractive to him, whether it is the support of the state or the talent system, it is not comparable to ordinary universities.
As far as the Naval University of Engineering is concerned, it is a little-known university to the outside world, and it is even far worse than the reputation of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, however, the talent strength, abundant resources, and policy support are compared with Beijing University of Chemical Technology, which is simply one in the sky and one in the ground, and it is not even worse than Shuimu, Beijing University and other top universities in China!
If he hadn't established the Fenghua Research Institute, maybe he would have really pushed the boat along the river and agreed to Academician Ma's temptation.
After thinking about it, he still joked and said: "I'm so talented, once I join the military industrial system, won't you people be unemployed!"
Academician Ma also smiled: "We still wish we were unemployed? Then the burden is on you, and the sky has fallen and there is a high top, just so that we people can relax and relax." How's that, are you interested in joining our naval system?"
Liu Feng: "That's not what you meant, right?"
Ma Mingwei nodded and shook his head: "This is what those people in the navy mean, of course, I also hope that you can join our navy, but with my understanding of you, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
Talented people are fragrant and sweet everywhere, and the previous Boss Duan, Principal Tan, Zhang Qin, Great Elder and others, aren't they just attracted by Liu Feng's talent?
To be honest, Liu Feng has always been quite satisfied with his talent.
The Navy's invitation to him was also expected by him.
Jokes, such a big piece of fragrant bread is in front of him, and it is absolutely impossible for no one to drool; not to mention that the two sides have had a pleasant cooperation, and Liu Feng is also quite interested in weapons research, and those people in the navy have ideas about him, which is absolutely a matter of course.
"Yes, it's a pity that I'm used to being a wild person, I just can't be restrained, and the environment of the army is ......" Liu Feng sighed regretfully, "Don't talk about this, I heard that tomorrow's electromagnetic catapult test, one of your old opponents will come to smash the field?"
Academician Ma scolded with a smile and said: "What old opponents are smashing the field, they are all for the development of the national defense cause, how can there be so many twists and turns as you said." Our military-industrial system has always been very united, but well, there is indeed a conflict of will......"
Liu Feng laughed: "I'll just say, there are no factions in the party, and we'll slap him in the face tomorrow!"
Academician Ma: "......"
He shook his head helplessly.
The next day, the sun rose in the east, the wind was smooth, and it was indeed a good day.
Early in the morning, in a weapons test site of the Naval Engineering University.
The electromagnetic catapult device had been disassembled from the laboratory to the test site two months earlier, and at this moment, researchers are putting the finishing touches on it.
At around 8 a.m., two J-15 fighters painted in sci-fi attire landed in the test site from a short distance away, and under the command of the pilot and ground crew, they were 'tied' to the ejection device of the electromagnetic catapult.
That's right, this time Academician Ma is going to do the experiment - direct catapult of the J-15 carrier-based aircraft!
Some time ago, he had already done thousands of ejection tests, although the ejection was not a carrier-based aircraft, but it was also a sample comparable to the weight of the J-15 carrier-based aircraft;
Finally, it was time for the mule to come out and slip away, and when he was sure enough, he naturally had to 'play' a machine to be satisfied, and moreover, it was more convincing!
At least
Are your steam catapults so reliable?
Did you steam catapult the J-15?
Who is better than whom?
Our Ma Weiming is not muddy!
To be honest, Academician Ma is not a person who has no temper at all.
Before begging grandpa to tell grandma, he couldn't ask for many resources to support the research of electromagnetic catapults, but on the steam catapult side, it was for money for money, and it was for people to give people, just like the illegitimate child of the navy.
Let me see now that he is a great stepfather, or your illegitimate son is powerful, hum!
Academician Ma led a group of technicians to do the final inspection of the electromagnetic catapult;
And Liu Feng, who was wearing a hard hat on his head and a white coat, also took three baby apprentices in the same costume to point around the catapult;
He was also very emotional when he finally saw this electromagnetic catapult prototype that embody a lot of his efforts.
I still remember that a few months ago, this prototype could only be placed in a dilapidated warehouse to 'eat and sleep', and a few months later, the shotgun was replaced with a fully equipped 'big field', and a 'splendid' big house, which really received enough attention from above.
The change of circumstances is nothing more than that.
"That's the general structure, is there anything else you don't understand?"
Inside the parking garage, Liu Feng introduced the apprentices while stroking the cold electromagnetic rail shell of the electromagnetic catapult.
The principle and structure of the electromagnetic catapult are actually quite simple, and there are a lot of drawings on the Internet, but whether you can make things qualified or not is two different things.
Zhou Yue and the three of them also made up some knowledge of electromagnetic catapults last night, and they are no strangers to this.
"Boss, we all understand the principle and structure, and it's very simple, but why are the only countries that can make electromagnetic catapults are us and country M?"
Miss Zhou Yue stared at Professor Liu with wide eyes and expectation, and asked knowingly.
No one noticed the hint of cunning that flashed in the young lady's eyes.
I heard that the reason why this electromagnetic catapult was successfully developed in advance was that the boss played a pivotal role in it, at this time, he should be very proud in his heart, right?
Sure enough, Liu Feng immediately raised his head.
In front of the apprentices, although he wanted to behave lightly and be a teacher, he inadvertently showed a smug smile:
On the one hand, only China and country M in the world have the most complete industrial categories, and with these industrial bases as the backing, they can smoothly manufacture the design capability of weapons, and this is the premise!
On the other hand, even if you have manufacturing capacity, but without the corresponding production materials, no matter how good the design drawings are, they can only end up being just a castle in the air.
For example, the electromagnetic guide rail and pulse power conversion system of the catapult, due to the previous material intolerance, the problem of overheating and overload will occur after dozens of uses, and now it is solved after replacing it with new materials. ”
"Therefore, the harsh requirements for the industrial base and materials of the aircraft carrier's electromagnetic catapult device have limited the production capacity of the vast majority of countries; the only countries that can really make this thing are us and country M! Of course, the entire European Union or the woolly bear may have this ability, but one of them cannot integrate the energy together, and the other has no money, so they will naturally be left behind by China and M. ”
Zhou Yue kept nodding his little head, and the small notebook in his hand kept recording, with a suddenly enlightened look:
"Wow, I see, boss, you're so good!"
Watching the young lady's sycophant shoot the boss comfortably, next to him, the two big boys who failed to 'compete for favor' could only glance at each other helplessly.
Fei Xiujin was unwilling: "Boss, I heard that you have made a lot of efforts in this catapult and helped Academician Ma solve a lot of problems, is that so?"
Liu Feng waved his hand, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "What kind of strength? But just use your mouth! It is mainly the credit of Academician Ma, in addition, Professor Du Bochao has researched new materials to solve the problem of intolerance of electromagnetic guide rails and pulse power conversion systems, and these two are the biggest contributors to the instrument." ”
"But I heard that Professor Du is also a new material researched under your guidance!"
Fei Xiu put the small book on the cover, trying to show the appearance of a little star with small eyes.
"Boss, you are really amazing, you know the materials, you know the controlled nuclear fusion, you also know the electromagnetic ejection, you are simply an all-round......er!
"Okay! It's not a good guy!" Liu Feng looked at this guy speechlessly and exaggerated sycophants, even if we are indeed so good, but you are really 'boasting' like this, is it really good?
"With this time for sycophancy, why don't you learn from Zhou Yue, who has been taking notes carefully?!"
Fei Xiujin: "......"
It's all about patting the horse's ass, and let's shoot the horse's leg together?
Is that guy taking notes? Obviously drawing some kind of unknown 'comic', okay!
You don't see it!
accidentally saw the smug eyes of Miss Zhou Yue passing on the country, this guy was almost crazy......
Finally, the master and apprentice were in the 'hangar' until about 10 o'clock in the morning, looked up at the window, and the sun was already shining outside.
Only then did a group of convoys come to the weapons test site of the Naval Engineering University.
From afar, I saw a group of people coming over, and under the greeting of Academician Ma, Liu Feng also led the three apprentices to greet him.
"Hello, Professor Liu, let's meet again!" Commander Wu Bisheng of the Navy walked towards Liu Feng with a group of officers and stretched out his right hand.
"Yes, Commander Wu, let's meet again. Liu Feng stretched out his hand without humility or arrogance.
If Liu Feng is not mistaken, Academician Ma's previous temptation of him is probably what this means.
After a brief greeting, Commander Wu took the initiative to introduce Liu Feng to the other officers who had come to inspect.
Among them, Admiral Zhang Haiyang, the political commissar, is already familiar with him, as well as Commander Wang of the East China Sea Fleet, Commander Zhang of the South China Sea Fleet, and Commander Liu of the North Sea Fleet.
A group of people shook Liu Feng's hand with smiles and kindness.
Following behind Liu Feng, seeing more than a dozen generals with stars on their shoulders taking the initiative to shake hands with their bosses, they looked reverent, and the three apprentices were also extremely proud, but more of them were trembling.
"One, two, three, I damn it, Lao Du, what did I see, 5 generals, 3 lieutenant generals, 8 major generals!" Fei Xiujin couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said tremblingly.
As a veteran military fan, when has he ever seen so many generals of the Republic with his own eyes!
Moreover, they all have such respect for their boss!
"You guy, aren't you a general, what's there to be excited about. Du Hong's body also shrank behind him, "We, our boss is someone who has seen the Great Elder......"
The two of them muttered softly, but they both knew the shock and excitement in each other's eyes.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a navy uniform stepped forward and shook hands with Liu Feng with a complicated face: "Professor Liu, I have admired your name for a long time, I am Xu Lerong, the chief designer in charge of the steam catapult project, you must have heard of me from Ma Mingwei, right?"
This is the chief engineer of the steam catapult project, Academician Xu Lerong?
Seeing Academician Ma next to him nodding, Liu Feng didn't know what attitude he should use to deal with it, but he thought in his heart that he had finally met the main master.
"Hello Academician Xu, I have also admired your name for a long time. ”
Academician Xu glanced at Academician Ma with a complicated expression, his eyes were full of tiredness and unwillingness: "Is it?
It seems that he is really full of resentment!
Liu Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart......
