Chapter 1039: Aircraft Carrier Attack!
Morning light, the rising sun.
On the vast sea, superships cleave the waves.
The bow of the ship split the waves, and the waves rolled in.
Under the escort of three large destroyers, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Huhai," a giant at sea, has entered a new day of integrated training in sea and air synthesis.
On the wide deck, the crew wearing various vests began to line up, and then slowly walked from the stern to the bow of the ship to carry out manual cleaning operations.
When the fighter takes off and lands, the flight deck should be very clean to avoid small metal parts such as screws and nuts being sucked into by the engine, resulting in the blades of the high-speed rotating fan being broken.
Around eight o'clock in the morning.
The high-speed elevator works continuously, sending up the fighters that are stored in the hangar below the flight deck at night, and then pulling the fighters to the designated position with a tractor to mooring and staying in accordance with the standard operating procedures.
8:23 a.m.
Two J/G-01 Shadow Unmanned Combat Attack Aircraft, under the instructions of the flight guide, slowly drove to the bow of the ship to the No. 2 catapult and No. 3 catapult to the diagonal deck to get ready.
The munitions manager, dressed in a red vest, began the final check, unplugging the safety pins of all weapons, including air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface missiles, and then closing the built-in bomb bay hatch.
At the same time, the fuel manager in an orange vest used a tractor to pull the pipeline and fill the fighter with high-quality aviation kerosene through a high-pressure fuel pump.
After completing the preparations for takeoff, the fighter slowly stepped forward, the catapult shuttle was connected to the hook of the electromagnetic catapult, and the spoiler was slowly raised to prevent the hot current of the engine tail from burning the personnel and the flight deck.
The flight director came to the front of the fighter, raised his left hand high, and drew a circle in the air, and the intelligent system of the unmanned combat attack aircraft immediately increased the throttle to test that the left engine was normal.
Subsequently, the flight director raised his right hand to draw a circle, and the fighter tested that the right engine was normal.
The ejection officer picked up the microphone, confirmed the status of the fighter and the ejection weight with the aviation information center, and after setting the data, the catapult automatically adjusted the output power and was ready to go.
The flight pilot immediately came to the front of the fighter plane, then visually confirmed that the ejection area was open and unobstructed, and then pointed forward in a standard "walk you" kneeling position.
Moment!
The ejection officer pressed the ejection button, and the abundant power supplied by the nuclear power energy was transmitted to the electromagnetic catapult after high-voltage rectification, and in a ten-thousandth of a second, the electromagnetic coil generated a huge thrust, which will be pulled through the ejection hook, and the heavy unmanned combat attack aircraft was accelerated for a short distance with a bang, as if it was ejected with a huge slingshot.
Poof~Boom!
The fighter plane suddenly accelerated forward, and within a catapult distance of less than 100 meters, it accelerated to a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, dragging a dazzling tail flame, and suddenly lifted into the air.
And almost at the moment when the first ejection took off, the second one was also ejected, and immediately after, a carrier-based early warning aircraft also slowly went to the ejection position, and the pilots of the two J-20C stealth heavy carrier-based fighters were also ready to go.
Bang~Bang~!
One after another, the fighters were ejected into the air, and after a short time, they assembled in formation in an airspace of 3,000 meters, about 50 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier battle group.
Subsequently, two J\/G-01 Shadow unmanned fighters took the lead in accelerating forward to an altitude of 200 kilometers and 20,000 meters, and two J-20C stealth heavy carrier-based fighters escorted left and right under the control of the pilot, protecting the carrier-based early warning aircraft to carry out air alert in the designated airspace.
For the 'Huhai' super nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which only joined the active service in early February, it only took more than seven months for it to begin to take on combat effectiveness, and such a rapid progress is not only related to the high quality of the crew, but also because the highly intelligent aircraft carrier battle group, compared with traditional ships, has fewer crews, a higher degree of automation, and the development of combat effectiveness is naturally faster.
Of course, the price of such a highly intelligent super-powerful aircraft carrier battle group is also extremely expensive.
As the core of the battle group, the 'Huhai' nuclear-powered aircraft carrier cost 17.5 billion yuan to develop, with a cost of up to 65 billion yuan, plus 64 J20C with a unit price of 200 million yuan, 12 J/G-01 with a unit price of 700 million yuan, 5 carrier-based early warning aircraft with a unit price of 200 million yuan, and a multi-purpose anti-submarine rescue helicopter with a unit price of 55 million yuan...... Just one aircraft carrier and its carrier-based aircraft have a total price of nearly 100 billion yuan.
In addition, the aircraft carrier battle group will also need at least three large air defense destroyers, three antisubmarine frigates, one rapid integrated supply ship, and two attack nuclear submarines, and the purchase cost of the entire aircraft carrier battle group formation will be nearly 200 billion yuan.
When going to sea once, a nuclear-powered ship can consume no fuel, but other ships powered by gas turbines start with more than 10 or 20 tons of fuel per 100 kilometers, plus the consumption of living materials for various personnel, which means that the aircraft carrier battle group does not practice anything every day, and sails on the sea, spending several millions.
However, in order to make the aircraft carrier battle group capable of combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the entire 'Huhai' aircraft carrier battle group has been intensively taking off and landing carrier-based aircraft for more than seven months, and personnel subsidies, fuel expenses, exercise ammunition consumption, and fighter life wear and tear have been converted into training expenditures of more than 1 billion yuan.
Some people say that the aircraft carrier battle group is a 'gold-swallowing beast at sea,' but this sentence is really not nonsense; maintaining a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group costs at least 1.5 billion yuan a year, and this is not counting the nearly 200 billion yuan that has already been spent on the purchase of the battle group formation, and ordinary small countries simply cannot afford such a large national defense expenditure.
Therefore, it is not a lie that a weak country has no navy.
However, China, which has gradually become the world's number one power, needs at least four battle groups of the same size to defend its homeland and defend its maritime frontiers, and at the same time safeguard its international maritime rights and interests.
After all, the aircraft carrier battle group can only be ready for combat for eight months at most, and the other four months are either for sailing training or repairs in port, and every few years they have to be repaired or overhauled.
Therefore, the five aircraft carrier battle groups can meet the needs of two on combat readiness patrol duty, one on base maintenance, one on offshore navigation training, and one on port for recuperation.
Of course, compared with the local tyrants on the other side of the ocean, it is not too much for people to have 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle groups, and it is not too much for China to have 5 aircraft carrier battle groups in the future.
……
The sun is shining and the sea breeze is hunting.
With the increasing difficulty of the training subjects, today's training subjects are 'Maritime Synthetic Attack Drills'.
At the same time, it relied on its own 'condescending' superiority to repeatedly search the sea and air with multifaceted phased array radar to search for targets.
After discovering the target, the early warning aircraft will make reasonable arrangements for the 'Huhai' nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to catapult and dispatch carrier-based aircraft to carry out the sea attack according to the target data information; of course, today is the background of the exercise, so a large air defense destroyer will launch cruise missiles vertically to carry out the sea attack.
After the cruise missile is lifted into the air, it will first enter the inertial navigation stage, and then the early warning aircraft will provide target data correction, and finally enter the terminal attack, and the missile will change to an autonomous homing ......
According to the normal drill schedule, it was time for the destroyer to launch cruise missiles, and at this time, an emergency order suddenly came.
The 'Huhai' nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group immediately ceased all exercises, switched to third-level combat readiness, and urgently sailed southward.
At first, the carrier battle group thought it was a special emergency drill to test their ability to respond to unexpected situations.
However......
Near noon, a transport plane roared across the sea and landed on the flight deck, and the communications officer, who flew straight from the headquarters, personally delivered paper orders to the commander of the battle group.
Actual combat!
It's actually a real battle!
It has been less than a year since they entered the ranks, and less than six months after the synthetic training of the battle group, they are about to fight in real combat!
10:34 a.m.
The combat command center of the aircraft carrier "Huhai".
"The latest information has been received, after calculation, the target is far from our battle group, a straight-line distance of more than 4500 kilometers, which has exceeded the combat radius of the J20C stealth fighter, so this mission, will be carried out by 3 J\ / C-01 Shadow unmanned fighters, the international high seas over the high-altitude high-speed flight, before entering the target area, switch to stealth penetration mode, after the attack is completed, immediately return home, no need to do damage assessment!"
"The task requires that the use of heavy ground-penetrating missiles for precision strikes, the error of the CEP circle radius shall not exceed 5 meters, in order to achieve the best penetrating explosion effect, the speed of the missile at the moment of touching the ground must reach at least Mach 10, 3 combat attack aircraft are launched at the same time, and 6 missiles are distributed in a fan-shaped attack landing, and strive to destroy the underground experimental base with one blow!"
"It is expected that after 15 minutes, the latest satellite reconnaissance information will be transmitted back, and then there will be data updates every 2 hours, and the synthetic aperture reconnaissance satellite will provide a more accurate underground building structure map, so after our unmanned attack aircraft departs, it will also modify the attack plan according to the latest intelligence!"
……
After the battle readiness meeting, the ground crew quickly went to prepare.
Three Shadow unmanned fighters in the best condition were selected, and one by one heavy ground-penetrating missiles were mounted into the internal bomb bay, and after pulling out the weapon safety pins and filling up the fuel, they quickly went to the three ejection positions.
The time quietly came to 11 o'clock.
With the order of the commander of the battle group, the flight deck of the aircraft carrier became lively in an instant.
Boom...... Woo...... Airplanes~
Boom...... Woo...... Airplanes~
Boom...... Woo...... Airplanes~
The three J/C-01 Shadow unmanned combat attack aircraft were rapidly accelerated into the air with maximum ejection bearing capacity, without allowing the engine to be turned on afterburner, so as to facilitate a greater degree of fuel economy.
After the catapult lifted off, it completed the triangular formation at an altitude of 6,000 meters and slowly climbed to an altitude of 20,000 meters.
At this time, the pulse detonation engine switches from low power to high power.
In an instant, the three fighters suddenly increased their speed, like rockets bursting out, and at an altitude of nearly 25,000 meters, an earth-shattering sonic boom broke out, and then like a meteor piercing the sky, the speed continued to soar and soar.
Mach 3!
Mach 5!
Mach 10!
……
In manned fighter jets, pilots simply can't withstand such a rapid acceleration overload, and overloads of more than 9G will make pilots have black vision, insufficient blood supply, dizziness, etc., and a slight carelessness will lead to the destruction of the plane.
However, unmanned combat attack aircraft, there is no such problem at all, they use artificial intelligence management system control, Shadow series fighters in the test of almost actual combat, has made 50G super overload, the body structure and airborne equipment are no problem, enough to prove its excellent performance.
Of course, at speeds above Mach 10, it's almost like a meteor.
At 3,400 meters per second, you can really fly hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye, and the seemingly distant distance of four or five thousand kilometers is really killed in ten minutes if you don't change the route or flight mode.
Half an hour to go all over the world, this is not an empty word!
However, in order to ensure a safe and meticulous operation, the three Shadow drones will not rush into Africa like a 'rampage', and will slow down and enter stealth mode before flying over the international high seas.
In addition to the use of ultra-high temperature resistant materials, the ionizer at the nose of the aircraft will generate ultra-high voltage current to ionize and decompose the water molecules in the air, and then form a cone-shaped protective cover, commonly known as the ion protective layer.
Although the ion protective layer has the functions of heat preservation and isolation of electromagnetic waves, it is equivalent to putting on a 'stealth suit' for the fighter, but this 'stealth suit' cannot be used at too high a speed, otherwise the ion protective layer will not be able to keep up with the advancing speed of the fighter, and then lose the stealth effect.
This technology successfully developed by Weile Technology has brought a super stealth effect to the fighter penetration, and countless previous exercises have shown that at 5 times the speed of sound, the ion protection layer still has a certain stealth effect, and the best protection effect is 5 times the speed of sound, which was almost completely invisible at that time.
This time it is a real battle, so the three combat attack planes, after passing through the middle of the Indian Ocean, will cut off the fuel supply, let the fighters from more than ten times the speed of sound at an ultra-high speed, under the action of air resistance, and then at a constant speed to penetrate the defense.
From leaving the aircraft carrier battle group to arriving over the target area, the whole process will last nearly 30 minutes.
And just after the departure of the three combat attack planes, Qin Tian, who was far away at the headquarters of Weile Group, received intelligence information transmitted by satellites.
Qin Tian had long known that the Shadow Unmanned Combat Attack Aircraft would carry out this mission, but he didn't expect that the hand would be so big, and three planes were sent over at one time, with a total yield of nearly six tons of ammunition, which was enough for Matsushima Shixiong and the others to explode.
But Matsushima apparently didn't realize the danger was coming, and after sending a video of the experiment to Qian Hao's e-mail, he waited twenty minutes before calling again, with only one purpose, that is, to ask for money.
Qin Tian just fast-forwarded the video, and the analysis of the artificial intelligence system showed that the video was cut and synthesized, and such a fake video can only prove that the Songdao family has not conquered the antiviral vaccine so far.
However, Matsushima Shio said that it had been successful, and it was up to clinical trials to prove that it was suitable for all people.
Isn't it just for money?
But Qin Tian didn't want money, he wanted a heavy ground-penetrating missile, but he could give six free to Matsushima Shixiong to enjoy, so that they could have a good time at one time......
