Chapter 349: "Thunder Dragon" carrier-based aircraft

Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng have no opinion on this, go to the aircraft carrier, they just can't wait to take people up casually, it is estimated that the two of them still want to take Liu Yiyi and Tang Jing over for a romantic trip.

So far, there is only one aircraft carrier in China, which is the one mentioned in the news.

To say that this aircraft carrier is really legendary.

It was not developed and built by our country, but designed and developed by Russia, and then modified by our country.

In the nineties of the last century, when the Russian Union was dissolved, in order to expand its naval strength, the aircraft carrier was designed and began to be built, but unfortunately, at the time of the plant's progress, the Russian Union disintegrated.

And at that time the aircraft carrier fell into the hands of a small country that had separated from the Russian Union.

At this time, the country has undergone a change in the political situation, so the domestic economy is also unstable, so that the aircraft carrier has become a complete burden when it comes to them.

If you want to complete the construction and launch, you must pay hundreds of millions of dollars, but the national finance does not have this ability at all, and if you want to sell it, the price of scrap iron is about several million.

So the country considered selling this thing to other countries, thinking about whether the countries that were interested in this technology could pay a high price.

At this time, the Celestial Empire had long had plans to develop aircraft carriers, but it was not implemented because of various restrictions.

When encountering such a good opportunity, the country naturally would not let it go, so it came into contact with this small country.

It's impossible for this kind of thing not to be known.

In order to prevent the Celestial Empire from obtaining relevant techniques and threatening their status as a great power, they threatened this country, saying that if the aircraft carrier was sold to the Celestial Empire, all the shipboard weapons and equipment must be dismantled, otherwise economic sanctions will be imposed on this country.

The small arms are always unable to dry the thighs, so all the weapons and equipment on this aircraft carrier have been dismantled, and it has become an empty shelf.

Finally, after layers of hard work, this aircraft carrier was finally bought by a patriotic businessman in our country and donated to the country.

After the aircraft carrier was towed back to China, relevant researchers used this empty shelf and spent ten years transforming it into the conventionally powered aircraft carrier that everyone sees and sees today.

As for its detailed data, because it has been in the secrecy stage, Xu Ziling accidentally took it, and of course he would not take the gossip on the Internet seriously.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yang Haisheng himself is a general, and there is such a big Buddha as Old Man Yang. But to get a few people who have nothing to do with the aircraft carrier to go up is not something that can be solved with a phone call.

So the next day, Xu Ziling went to the laboratory as usual, waiting for news.

At noon, when he went to the airfield behind him as usual to see the test results, he suddenly remembered that the "Thunder Dragon" could also make a carrier-based aircraft and then go to the aircraft carrier to sell it?

Carrier-based aircraft are nothing more than anti-submarine, escort and other roles, although the "Thunder" is now only available on land, but with the "Eagle Eye", if it is to be converted into a carrier-based aircraft, there is no need for such things as sonar.

As long as the radar system is modified, and then the propeller is changed to a folding rotor, which is conducive to parking on the ship without taking up too much space, and the weapon hardpoint is changed to one that can carry air-to-ship and anti-submarine missiles.

Carrier-based aircraft were originally available in the optimization system, but Xu Ziling was in contact with the army most of the time, but he never thought of the navy, if it wasn't for the aircraft carrier this time, he really didn't know when Lu Dao would think of getting a carrier-based aircraft.

As soon as he thought of it, he immediately picked up the phone and told Yang Haisheng that he was going to modify the "Thunder" carrier-based aircraft and then go to the aircraft carrier to sell it.

"The news is estimated to come down in a few days, can you get it done in a few days?"

Regarding Xu Ziling's sudden idea, Yang Haisheng tried not to be surprised, but just asked him if he could do it in a few days.

"No problem, anyway, it hasn't changed much from the land type, and a few days is completely enough."

"Okay, I'll go say hello first."

In this way, after a phone call, his sales plan was determined.

The mouth said that there is no problem, but in fact the time is still quite tight, although there is a ready-made design scheme, the production technology is not very high, but to re-make some parts, it still takes some time.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't stay at the airport, drove the car, and quickly returned to the factory.

As soon as he arrived at the factory, he immediately found his father Xu Haoran and asked him to quickly gather people.

Xu Haoran looked at him hurriedly asking for someone, and hurriedly asked him what was the matter, and when he learned that he was going to get the carrier-based aircraft of the "Thunder Dragon" and that it was only a few days to get it out, he immediately went to transfer personnel.

To convert into a carrier-based aircraft, the most difficult part is the propeller.

The propeller of the "Thunder" is not produced by the military factory itself, and now the carrier-based aircraft needs folding wings, and the original one must not be used.

However, fortunately, the "Thunder Dragon" land-type propeller technology is also authorized by the military factory to produce in other factories, and the related technology and production process are still here, and it is not difficult to produce a few temporarily.

As soon as the personnel arrived, Xu Ziling asked people to get the materials out first, and then used the most stupid way to hand over the design drawings to the people below, and let them follow the drawings, hold the metal blocks one by one, and directly use the machine tool to form them little by little, and then shape them at the end.

As for the modification of the weapon hardpoint, he also threw out the drawings and asked the people below to draw the gourd, while he himself began to work on the radar system.

Antisubmarine warfare is the most important role of carrier-based aircraft, and the land-based "Thunder" only has the function of scanning on the ground in terms of radar, but does not have the function of scanning underwater, so it must be redone.

In this regard, I used to have experience with the "Eagle Eye" system on the No. 051 ship in the South China Sea Fleet.

Due to the tight time, Xu Haoran transferred a large number of people over, and he was not in a hurry to do things, but looked orderly.

……

With the efforts of many personnel, the news from Yang Haisheng's side has not yet come, but the carrier-based aircraft of the "Thunder Dragon" has been made.

Because it is a heavy attack aircraft, it is impossible to change the engine room of the "Thunder Dragon" at once, and Xu Ziling did not change the engine room when he modified the carrier-based aircraft, thus giving up the possibility that the cabin could carry depth charges.

However, in order to make up for the combat effectiveness of the aircraft, he converted the original hardpoint into a torpedo load, and also installed four missile hardpoints.

These hanging points can be mounted with small anti-ship missiles, and can also be mounted with air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, of course, this is also taking into account some special battlefields, but generally speaking, helicopters mainly used for anti-submarine may never use these missiles, but this is also a rainy day.

The prototype is out, and the next thing is a series of tests, although the aircraft itself has not changed much, but the folding propeller is a completely new thing, if you don't test it, how can it be convincing.

And there are also weapons that need to be tested, otherwise once you want to use it, you find that you have a torpedo or something, but you can't send it, wouldn't it be a joke.

After testing the flight and getting that there were no problems at all, when everyone wanted to continue testing the weapon, there was finally a little trouble.

That is the weapons that carrier-based aircraft can carry, air-to-air missiles are there, but torpedoes and small airborne anti-ship missiles are not.

Later, it was Xu Ziling who called Huang Jiancheng and Huang Lao with the idea of giving it a try, and only then did he get two torpedoes and a domestically produced small anti-ship missile from the Weapons Research Institute of the University of Science and Technology.

The ammunition was obtained, but a new problem arose, Xinghai is an inland province, and there could be no sea, so there was a problem with this experimental site.

"Do you want to test it on the Xingjiang?"

When everyone was thinking about how to test, Yang Kaiming, who was watching the excitement, thought of a place.

Xingjiang is a tributary of the Yangtze River, the largest river in China, which runs through the entire Xinghai Province from north to south, and also happens to pass through Xingcheng.

"I think it can!"

It was Li Litian and Li Lao who answered him, and Huang Lao next to him also nodded, also agreeing with this method.

Huang Lao and Li Lao came over when Xu Ziling borrowed a torpedo.

"Okay, then I'll talk to Uncle Yang."

The two old men agreed, and Xu Ziling had no opinion.

There are fishing boats and cargo ships coming and going on the Xingjiang River, and there must be a blockade by the army to be able to conduct the test, after all, this test is all live ammunition, and if one accidentally injures ordinary people, no one can bear the responsibility.

If you want to take military control over a place in the city, you must communicate with the local zhèngfǔ department, otherwise it will be a trouble, Xu Ziling He understands very well that he definitely does not have this face, so he still needs Yang Haisheng to arrange it.

After receiving a call from Xu Ziling, Yang Haisheng learned of his intentions and immediately agreed to communicate with the local government.

And just two hours later, Yang Haisheng called and informed Xu Ziling, saying that the place had been selected for him, and the people from the special operations division had been dispatched to start blocking the reserved place in the name of the exercise, so that Xu Ziling could prepare.

After receiving this news, Xu Ziling immediately began to prepare.

Due to the urgency, he didn't go to prepare the target anymore, and told Lao Wang, who came to be in charge of the test, to hit wherever he saw an obvious target, as long as he didn't hit the target on the shore.

For Xu Ziling's explanation, Lao Wang couldn't cry or laugh, this is a test torpedo, and it is estimated that he can't get it even if he wants to get it ashore.
