Melt the sea and bow to him

The Huaxia Navy can be said to have always been a pain in Yang Weiping's heart.

In the previous life, most of his energy and hard work were spent on Laowa, China's first conventionally powered aircraft carrier. But until he exhausted the last drop of mental strength, he did not see the real combat effectiveness of Huaxia's aircraft carrier fleet.

It would be more accurate to say that Laowa is not so much an aircraft carrier as it is a test flight platform for carrier-based aircraft.

Now, the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai is also building a 20,000-ton light escort aircraft carrier.

This project was started when Taizu was alive. The plan is divided into 24 segments, and a light aircraft carrier is pieced together, which does not require good performance, and is mainly used for carrier-based aircraft pilot training.

This aircraft carrier, which has completed two-thirds of the engineering volume, is based on the British Giant-class light aircraft carrier and is an improved light aircraft carrier, with a displacement of about 20,200 tons. The carrier-based aircraft is planned to use an improved version of the strong 5.

Jiangnan Shipyard is directly under the jurisdiction of the Third Department of System Engineering of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (Shipbuilding Industry Management Office), and Yang Weiping originally kept a lot of brain cells for this project codenamed "202".

Although Project 202 manufactures the same glide jump take-off aircraft carrier as the Lao Wa, it is much behind the Lao Wa in terms of tonnage and design concept.

In the last life, this project was cut, and it is estimated that it was not of much significance to build this light aircraft carrier, so it was decided to stop work and change it to a container ocean-going vessel.

After thinking about it, Yang Weiping finally decided to keep the 202 project. At the very least, through the construction of this light aircraft carrier, Jiangnan Shipyard can accumulate experience in the manufacture of large ships.

Based on this idea, Yang Weiping combined his understanding of the design and layout of the Laowa aircraft carrier. It provided some suggestions for improvement to the Jiangnan Shipyard, and the right was to build a training platform for the Huaxia Navy to train carrier-based aircraft pilots.

The most important thing is that through the 202 project, it is also possible to carry out the modification plan of the carrier-based aircraft of the strong five at the same time. Lay the foundation for the next construction of an actual combat aircraft carrier in our country.

Presently. All the cadres and workers of the Jiangnan Shipyard shouted the slogan of presenting gifts for the 30 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and strived to complete all the perching and installation of this light aircraft carrier, which had been renamed the Lao Wa by Director Yang himself, by 1 October. Conduct sea trials.

For the modification of the Qiang-5 carrier-based type, the Huaxia First Aviation Industry Group is now also working together to race against time in full swing and strive to come up with a prototype as soon as possible.

Although China has now introduced the F14A heavy carrier-based fighter of the US Navy, this carrier-based aircraft is obviously not suitable for the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese Navy at this stage. Because the domestic shipbuilding industry does not yet have the ability to design and manufacture aircraft carrier platforms that can be used for the take-off of the F14A.

As the father of the first generation of carrier-based aircraft in China, Yang Weiping conducted in-depth demonstration and research in the previous life.

The Strong Five is well suited to be converted into a carrier-based version, however. However, it is not suitable for the development requirements of the 21st century. Therefore, Yang Weiping rejected this plan at that time and chose to redesign a new model.

However, for the era that Yang Weiping is in now, the development of the Qiang-5 carrier-based type to train carrier-based aircraft pilots. It's just a perfect fit.

Although Qiang 5 is a strong attack aircraft with two turbojet engines designed by Academician Lu Xiaopeng in the early 60s, Academician Lu designed the turbojet engine to the most classic extreme state. The aerodynamic design of this powerful aircraft has been perfected to the point of perfection.

Until the 21st century, the Qiang-5 was the best light attack aircraft in the world, and its combat performance met the basic requirements of naval aviation in this era. The main thing is that the fuselage size of the strong five is acceptable to light aircraft carriers. Moreover, the improvement conditions are relatively relaxed, and the amount of work is not large.

In Yang Weiping's eyes, the development of the Qiang-5 carrier-based fighter is very much in line with the current situation of China's aviation industry.

The two turbojet engines originally installed on the Qiang-5 had a heavy fuselage and occupied space in the fuselage, and there was enough space to modify and place small turbofan engines, which not only increased thrust but also reduced weight.

Secondly, the excess space of the new turbofan engine can be used as another auxiliary fuel tank, so that the aircraft has a larger combat radius and more air time, and the saved weight can be installed with an in-flight refueling system.

In addition, the air intakes on both sides of the strong five can be installed with duck wings to achieve a short distance to obtain a large lift take-off, and the landing gear can be changed to an external diagonal brace on both sides to expand the support torque.

The wing of the strong five can be folded at the steady flow wing, which does not affect the aerodynamic layout of the original horizontal wing surface. The landing gear adds a first-stage buffer to increase the height of the aircraft from the deck, so that the aircraft dares to "shoot" to the deck when landing.

The fuselage of the Strong Five can be fitted with an impact pull frame to house the pull hook when the aircraft lands. Moreover, the full weight of the fuselage is relatively light, so it is more convenient to adjust the center of gravity and facilitate structural improvements.

The aerodynamic appearance of the entire fuselage basically does not need to be changed, and the modification cost is quite low, which is conducive to the original production system to be put into mass production. Since the Qiang-5 is the lightest attack aircraft in the world today, its requirements for the technical support of aircraft carriers are relatively low.

After the Qiang-5 is converted into a carrier-based aircraft, the number of aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier is more than that of other aircraft, which is very beneficial to improving the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier. Moreover, the ultra-low-altitude flight performance of the attack aircraft is excellent, which is very suitable for fighting above the sea surface.

The bomb load of the Qiang-5 is also relatively large, and there are many types, from nuclear bombs to conventional missiles, which can meet the needs of global maritime operations at this stage.

The main thing is that the strong five carrier-based type also has a very prominent advantage, the cost of maintenance and parts is very low. As a fighter plane commonly used by the three armed forces of our army, it is conducive to training and reserving a large number of pilots and technical personnel.

Moreover, from the perspective of earning foreign exchange, after the Qiang-5 is converted into a carrier-based fighter, it will be possible to sell a new type of carrier-based fighter in the existing Qiang-5 exporting countries. It's a huge market.

It has to be said that the vision and creative thinking of China's aviation scientific research workers in this era still have their own unique features. The improvement plan for the Qiang-5 ship-based type they made was basically the same as the result of Yang Weiping's later demonstrations. The only thing missing was how to tailor a new type of smaller turbofan engine for the Strong Five.

In this regard, for Yang Weiping, it is not a problem at all.

In addition, the strong five carrier-based type, in the improvement process, a large number of Y2013 aluminum-lithium alloy can be used to replace the original fuselage material, which will further reduce the weight of the fuselage.

Therefore, based on the comprehensive consideration of all aspects, Yang Weiping received the support of the No. 1 chief, Xu Qianjian, Ye Jianxiong and other old leaders, and not only retained all the projects in the 202 project, but also increased investment.

Of course, the new project needs to have a new look, and out of political considerations, Yang Weiping renamed it HM No. 1 Project and included it in the key projects of the Seventh Five-Year Plan.

It's March 1979, and the Green Revolution in Iran is about to break out. Once Iran's Pahlavi Shah was overthrown by the Green Church, the four Kidd-class guided missile destroyers that the U.S. government had customized for Iran would become ownerless.

When the time comes, the US imperialists will take over these four relatively advanced missile destroyers and refit them, and they will basically be able to form a light aircraft carrier formation to deter the monkeys of Annam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the like, and obediently spit out all the big islands that can be inhabited by people in China's Nansha!

Thinking of this, Yang Weiping couldn't help but have a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Comrade Yang Weiping, you alone have not yet talked about your views on the next stage of the war situation in Annan. ”

Hearing the roll call of the No. 1 leader on the rostrum, Yang Weiping quickly gathered his mind, stood up, first saluted a standard military salute, and then said loudly: "I am engaged in scientific research and technical work, and I have limited knowledge of military affairs.

However, I believe that the Le Duan authorities' current request for negotiations is clearly a delaying tactic to buy time for them to transfer the main force from Cambodia back to Hanoi. My point is simple, since they want to die, we will fulfill them.

In addition, both the Army and the Air Force performed very well in this war, and I think it is time for our Navy to come out and shine. The South China Sea has been the domain of China since ancient times, and the Nansha Islands have always been China's territory that no one should infringe upon.

Due to historical reasons, China has so far not had a comprehensive consideration of ocean issues and formulated and implemented a marine development strategy. In my Tiangong laboratory in Switzerland, I once obtained a survey of China's marine resources in the South China Sea.

This information clearly records that there are 10 known major oil-bearing basins on the continental shelf of the South China Sea, covering an area of about 852,400 square kilometers, accounting for almost half of the total area of the continental shelf in the South China Sea.

As early as 1956, fishermen in Hainan Province discovered natural gas seedlings off the coast from Xinbao to Yingge, which opened the prelude to China's offshore oil exploration and development. However, due to China's backwardness in marine exploration technology, China's understanding of the oil and gas resources in the South China Sea is seriously insufficient.

According to the marine exploration and measurement and assessment of some western developed countries in the petroleum industry, only in the coastal area of Hainan in China, there are three Cenozoic sedimentary basins, including Beibu Gulf, Yinggehai and Qiongdongnan Basin, covering an area of 160,000 square kilometers, which are oil and gas resources exploration prospects, and 5.52 billion tons of oil and 12 trillion cubic meters of natural gas have been explored.

The entire continental shelf of the South China Sea has at least 23 billion to 30 billion tons of oil reserves under the sea, with an optimistic estimate of 55 billion tons and 20 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, which can be called the second 'Persian Gulf'!"

As soon as Yang Weiping's words fell, the whole venue suddenly "buzzed" like an explosion.

This is the first time in the lives of all members of the Central Military Commission, including the No. 1 chief, that there is so much oil hidden under the seabed of the South China Sea. (To be continued.) )
