Chapter 107: A life-saving straw
Two water molecule synthesizers.
One has already been placed.
One is applying and waiting to be placed.
The application for a water molecule synthesizer is subject to limitations.
Twenty other machines are required to apply for a water molecule synthesizer.
Now, the number of machines owned by Wang Buyan is twenty-five.
To apply for a third water molecule synthesizer, the number of machines would need to be increased to forty-one.
Faith is worth it, faith is worth it!
He needs a lot of faith!
If there is a modifier, it would be nice to be able to modify the faith value.
Change hundreds of millions in one go......
Wang Bu'an suddenly remembered something. What about the hydraulic press that Cheng Kailong needed before?
I said I needed it before, why didn't I want it later?
He brought it up vaguely.
"Don't say it. The other party didn't believe it. Cheng Kailong shook his head and said.
"Don't believe it?" Wang Buan frowned.
"yes! I told them, and they said I was bragging. ”
"I see. ”
"However, the Northern Shipbuilding Heavy Industry should be needed. Jiangnan Shipbuilding Heavy Industry also needs. ”
"Jiangnan Shipbuilding Heavy Industry?"
"The task of several shipbuilding heavy industries is very heavy, and this year we will start construction of fifteen new 052Ds and twenty-five 054A. It had to be to add some large equipment. ”
"So many dumplings?"
"There are too many historical debts. It must now be made up. The number of carriers cannot increase quickly, destroyers and frigates can always be. Ants bite elephants to death!"
"That's right. ”
Wang Buan nodded approvingly.
Indeed it is.
The combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier, of course, is beyond doubt.
But modern destroyers and frigates can also play a great role. Especially when the number is super high.
If there are three or five hundred ships, it is estimated that even the US imperialists will tremble in their hearts.
How many ants bite and kill elephants!
052D, the most advanced destroyer in our country. The displacement is about 7000 tons.
054A, the most advanced frigate in our country. The displacement is about 4000 tons.
In recent years, the two models have been like dumplings, and the number has been increasing.
Now, the speed of dumplings has been greatly accelerated. Dozens of ships will be started a year. The national strength is strong, and it is really awesome.
If you can add a boost......
Provide better quality raw materials at a lower price. Hydraulic presses and machine tools with more powerful processing capacity are available. Plus pointers on key technologies. Will you be able to make 50 dumplings in a year? Just thinking about it, I'm a little excited! Fifty warships can be built in one year!
As long as it takes three years, no foreign warship will dare to run rampant in the South China Sea. Including eagle sauce.
Otherwise, you come to an aircraft carrier formation, and I will dispatch hundreds of warships.
Not to scare you.
Even if it really fights, I'm not afraid of you.
"I heard that you gave Han Xuewei a notebook?" Cheng Kailong said, "I was almost thrown away by her as a wind flower and snowmoon." ”
"Thrown away?" Wang Buan said in surprise, "she won't be so reckless, right?" ”
"Thankfully, no. Otherwise, she will go to court-martial. ”
"So serious?"
"What do you say?"
Wang Buan shook his head slowly.
It's not against Cheng Kailong's opinion. But I feel that Han Xuewei is indeed not very mature.
When she was at the weapons test ground, she actually didn't have any conflict with Han Xuewei, nor did she have any private interactions, so there was no need for her to have some thoughts of resistance to herself.
I gave her a notebook, and she should have opened it to see what was inside, not a preconceived idea.
The first time we met, you are from the research institute, how can I have a relationship with you?
I don't know what her brain is thinking.
Could it be that I have read too many novels?
Or do you feel more handsome and think too much?
"If the engine thrust can really reach 30 tons, hehe......" Cheng Kailong suddenly became a little excited.
"100 per cent. Wang Buan said affirmatively, "33 tons are fine." ”
"No wonder the 406 Research Institute is also going to grab it. ”
"J15 carrier-based aircraft?"
"yes!"
Cheng Kailong was very emotional.
He simply pulled over to the side of the road and got out of the car to smoke.
Seeing that there was no one around, he also told Wang Buan about something. The superiors instructed that there was no need to keep it secret for Wang Buan.
The Y-20 transport aircraft needs a strong heart.
The J15 carrier-based aircraft needs a strong heart even more.
In other words, the latter is more needed than the former. The engine thrust of the latter almost became a lifesaver.
Domestic aircraft carriers do not have catapults. It is possible to take off only on the skid deck.
This is a big constraint.
The J15 was originally designed to be able to carry 6 tons of ammunition.
However, due to the limitations of the glide take-off, it can only carry a little more than 1 ton of ammunition at most.
Obviously, a little more than 1 ton of ammunition will greatly affect the combat effectiveness.
An air-to-air missile, it is already a few hundred kilograms.
If it is an air-to-ship, air-to-ground missile, cloudburst bomb, etc., the weight will be greater.
Without enough weapons, even if the J15 flew into the sky, it would be a target for hitting. There is no ability to fight back at all. Or maybe they don't have compound attack capabilities.
The problem is that if there is more ammunition on board, the weight will exceed the standard, and it will not be able to take off, and it will fall into the sea.
This is true for fighters, but what about other aircraft?
Bombers? Don't even think about it.
AWACS? It's hard, it's hard.
Aircraft carrier catapult, we can't solve it for the time being. So what to do?
The only way to do this is to increase the thrust of the engine.
The greater the thrust, the more ammunition can be mounted, and the more combat effectiveness will be.
There's no way around it.
Theoretically, as long as there is enough thrust, the bomber can also take off at a short distance of 200 meters.
The point is, this thrust must be large enough.
It's bigger than you think.
"It would be nice to be able to lift it vertically. Cheng Kailong said with emotion.
"It seems that you are a fan of the ascent. Wang Buan said with a smile.
"That's right. That's true. ”
"Vertical lift is a good idea. ”
"It's a pity......"
Cheng Kailong still feels deep regret.
Vertical lifting, it seems, has always been the preserve of the British. Only they are the ones who are best versed in it.
The original Harrier fighter was made by the British. It is the only fighter that can take off and land vertically in batches. Almost none of them.
Eagle Sauce's latest F-35 fighter jet also has vertical lift capability. This technology is from the United Kingdom.
Wang Buan also knows this. Britain and the United States are one after all!
Royce-Rawls again.
The lift system equipped with the Fei-35 is provided by Shuangluo.
In the Falklands War in 1982, the Harrier fighter made a big splash, shooting down several Argentine Mirages, and became famous in one fell swoop.
In the movie "True Lies", the Harrier fighter piloted by Arnold also shot the terrorists to the bare skin.
VTOL.
Skid deck.
It is also a better solution in the absence of a catapult.
Then, in the development of vertical lifting, the first thing to solve is the thrust problem. It must have a very high thrust engine to be able to pull the aircraft up.
Of course, the shortcomings of the Harrier fighter are also very obvious.
Slow. The fastest is only Mach 0.87.
Short legs. It can only fly up to 2200 km.
Weak combat effectiveness. Still limited by the take-off weight, there is not much ammunition to carry. But compared to the J15, it's definitely more than the J15.
Logistical maintenance is difficult. The lift system is special. There are no common parts.
It's expensive. In 1991, $23 million was needed. It's just scary. The F-18 Hornet carrier-based aircraft of the same period, costing $94 million. But a single Hornet can kill dozens of Harrier fighters. Therefore, the Harrier fighter is not cost-effective.
If it is compared with the cheap and sufficient F-16 light fighter, it is even more miserable. In 2005, the F-16 was priced at $20 million per unit. An F-16 can easily sweep a squadron of Harrier fighters. Or even heads-up all the quilts. The two sides are not on the same level at all.
In fact, Wang Buan's thinking is more extreme.
He felt that land-based fighters were the real kings and real killers.
As long as there are land-based fighters that are powerful enough, they can also dominate the seven continents and four oceans. It's just a few more overseas bases.
If the combat radius of the J20 can be increased to more than 3,000 kilometers and the speed exceeds Mach 3, it will basically be able to cover the entire South China Sea. There is nothing to do with other countries at all.
If there is a military airfield on Fiery Cross Reef, then the whole of Southeast Asia will be under the shadow of the "fangs of fire".
The key is to have a lot of them.
Ten and twenty are not a great deterrent.
One hundred, two hundred is a bit of a deterrent, and ordinary people dare not approach.
If there are 1,000 or 2,000 of them, then I'm afraid Eagle Sauce will have to retreat. Even their base in Guam is very unsafe.
Of course, such extreme ideas cannot be talked about.
"Actually, you can consider electromagnetic ejection......" Wang Buan said slowly.
"The gas turbines of our aircraft carriers are not powerful enough to provide enough power. Cheng Kailong frowned and said, "Electromagnetic catapult requires a lot of electricity. ”
"Consider using hydrogen storage alloys!"
"What do you mean?"
"If 10 kilograms of hydrogen storage alloy can contain 5,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity. It is entirely possible to use hydrogen storage alloys as the power of electromagnetic catapults. ”
"Tell me?"
"I've already calculated. Even if the J15 carrier-based aircraft takes off with a full load, it will be 35 tons at most. A single ejection consumes up to 500 kWh of electrical energy. That is, one hydrogen storage alloy unit, capable of completing 10 catapult takeoffs. If it is 100 hydrogen storage alloy units, it is capable of completing 1000 catapults. ”
"Go on. ”
"I think it's perfectly fine to accommodate tens of thousands of hydrogen storage alloy units in the space of an aircraft carrier. Their total weight is only a few hundred tons. But tens of thousands of ejections can be done. That's enough for an aircraft carrier to make a year's worth of sorties. Moreover, the replacement of the hydrogen storage alloy unit is also very fast. There is no need to worry about running out of electricity. ”
"There's a head!"
Cheng Kailong clenched his fists hard and smashed his fists fiercely.
