Chapter 557 Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers
Keelung's infrastructure construction started later than Taipei, so it was relatively rudimentary, so Wang Yue was still used to staying in the dock landing ship, which was the No. 1 landing ship and the flagship of the Nanyang detachment.
"My lord, it's time to eat." Dong Xiaowan said.
"Oh, it's hard work." Wang Yue said politely. Dong Xiaowan is worthy of being one of the top ten famous chefs in history, the ingredients within the starting point city are more abundant, and her cooking skills have been brought into greater play, Wang Yue has become accustomed to eating her dishes. There was no suitable restaurant on the street in Keelung, so Wang Yue returned to the landing ship to eat.
Dong Xiaowan is now a multi-talented, a reporter, a chef, and a doctor, and he can't describe it in his wisdom.
"Your Excellency is always so polite." Dong Xiaowan said. If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab her stomach, although Dong Xiaowan has not heard this sentence, she already understands its essence.
Wang Yue sighed secretly, of course he understood Dong Xiaowan's intentions, this was a versatile and good girl.
Wang Yue here does not have the poor and exquisite of those officials in the Ming Dynasty who women can't share the same table, and there are Li Xuezhu, Dong Xiaowan and Liu Rushi who dine together, and he feels that eating with beautiful women is in a happy mood.
Today's meal is still very exquisite, Wang Yue eats very comfortably, and when he is about to finish eating, PHS sounds.
"Report to the commander, reinforcements have arrived." Zhuang Suwen, commander of the Nanyang Detachment, said on the phone.
Wang Yue looked at the time and said, "Let them eat and rest first, and inform them that I will take them to visit our new warship at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Zhuang Suwen said: "Yes! ”
Wang Yue hung up the phone and said to the third girl with a smile: "Aren't you curious about the new battleship?" We'll visit in a moment. ”
"That's great!"
This new type of warship is docked at the special pier of Keelung Port, this battleship is so big that it can be regarded as the largest warship of the Tiance Army, and the product tanker has been classified as a civilian ship.
This special pier was built for aircraft carriers, of course, only a small part was built,
Everyone boarded this new warship, and they were all dumbfounded, especially the army officers, who were even more envious, and Wang Yue's attention to the navy was vividly and exquisitely.
Navy Commander Wei Xiaoliang had long heard that the Nanyang Detachment had purchased a large warship, and he only got a glimpse of it today.
"Division, commander, is this a warship?" Although the battleship of the Tiance Army is already epoch-making, seeing the shape of this warship still subverts Wei Xiaoliang's cognition,
Wang Yue walked to the side of a carrier-based aircraft, patted the fuselage, and said with a smile: "This is a warship, to be precise, this is an aircraft carrier." ”
This is the latest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States, the USS Ford, which was officially launched in 2017.
At present, the Tiance Army does not need an aircraft carrier in its current operations against the enemy, and the main purpose of this aircraft carrier by Wang Yue is actually to provide industrial and civil power for Keelung and Taipei.
The Ford-class aircraft carrier cost $13 billion and is the most expensive aircraft carrier in the United States, with a standard displacement of 100,000 tons and a full displacement of 12,000 tons. The ship is 337 meters long, 77 meters wide, and has a speed of more than 30 knots. The crew is 1,150 crew members and 600 flying people.
The ship has a fully automatic unmanned function and has satellite navigation in another plane, so it is not difficult for Wang Yue to get him over. This nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is a combination of modern technology, and in order to fully master its use, at the current level of the starting city, it will take at least years to calculate the cycle.
It has been half a year since the aircraft carrier arrived in Keelung, and all the Europeans who were captured in Taiwan, as long as they knew English, were escorted here by the Tiance Army to do a job, that is, to replace all the English signs with Chinese. There is a certain difference between American English and British English, and after more than 300 years of changes, many places have to use English-Chinese translation dictionaries. This work alone involved two battalions of security forces and more than two hundred European prisoners.
And that's not the hardest, the aircraft carrier is completely operated by computers, and the English operating system is a big problem.
Therefore, its biggest use now is power generation, the power system of the aircraft carrier is two high-power integrated A1B reactors, equipped with a 13,500-volt transmission and distribution system, with a power supply capacity of up to 200,000 kilowatts, which is one-third of the Shijingshan power plant, which can supply sufficient power for a city of 300,000 people, operate at full capacity, and do not need to replace fuel within 50 years.
This is the amount of electricity used by 300,000 people in the electrification era in the previous life, and with the current level of electricity consumption in Taiwan, there is no problem in supplying electricity to more than 600,000 people. There are coal mines in Keelung, and after the power plant is established in the future, it will be possible to get rid of dependence on aircraft carriers.
Therefore, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier can be regarded as a mobile nuclear power plant, which can solve the initial power supply for the development of the coastal area controlled by the starting city.
Generating electricity is only temporary, otherwise it would be a huge waste. The United States has 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and they will all get them in the future, and after mastering the performance of the aircraft carriers in the future, they will also become a combat platform for the Tiance Army to reconnoiter and attack the enemy from a long distance.
First installed on the platforms on the sides and stern of the ship, the two MK15 20mm 6-barrel phalanx guns, with a maximum rate of fire of 10,000 rounds per minute, will be used by the current batteries in Keelung Military Port.
The advanced phased array radar on the aircraft carrier can be temporarily used as a land-based radar in Keelung Port, and its electronic navigation system can also provide navigation services for ships and helicopters in Keelung Port.
The USS Ford aircraft carrier is fully loaded with 75 F-35C stealth fighters, the actual number of the aircraft carrier F-35C is 27, with a combat radius of 1,000 kilometers, and the X-47B unmanned combat reconnaissance aircraft is 8, with a reconnaissance radius of 1,500 kilometers.
Advanced carrier-based aircraft do not have targets worth striking at in this time and space, but their reconnaissance function is the most practical. The ejection system for the take-off of carrier-based aircraft is a very expensive device, so the aircraft carrier take-off platform can be used by armed helicopters first, and in the future it can also be equipped with propeller aircraft, and the take-off distance of propeller aircraft is much smaller than that of jet aircraft.
The power system of these four battleships is composed of eight heavy oil water-tube boilers and four sets of General Electric electric gear-driven steam turbines, with a total power of 156,000 kilowatts, slightly lower than that of the Ford-class.
However, due to the fact that the battleship is of conventional power and has high energy consumption, it is not suitable for the current starting point city.
Of the four battleships, the Iowa and Wisconsin were well maintained, but they needed to be refueled, and the 406 mm shells severely limited logistics, and the starting point city was not capable of manufacturing, and there was no fortress on the planet of this time and space worthy of such a huge artillery bombardment.
