Chapter 265 New Aircraft Carrier 6
At this time, Li Puyu turned to Zhou Yanfang, who was still in a nervous mood, and said, "Okay, let's just watch the aircraft carrier being dragged into the sea by those tugboats." Huoran? Wen??? ???. ranen`org”
The so-called launching is naturally to find a way to get the ship from the dock into the water. The impact force caused by the launch of the ship during this process will make a test of the whole ship, and check whether the ship is built to the quality of the ship.
Of course, with the continuous development of the times and the continuous innovation of the materials used in the construction of ships, this sense of the launching ceremony has become a ceremony that goes through the motions, especially in the 21st century, when Li Puyu crossed the era, it was basically a celebration ceremony. It must have reached a heyday in the shipbuilding industry at that time, and all the ship structures were already quite perfect, and shipbuilding was basically built in a modular way. There is no need to worry about the structural instability of the ship.
Some countries have even adopted some extraordinary measures to reduce the damage that may be caused to the hull of a ship when it is launched. For example, it seems to be a missile boat made by some small country. A missile boat is placed on rubber mats that look like rolling logs, and then the boat is slowly rolled down.
On the other hand, after listening to the impassioned military music, the military band not far from Li Puyu also stopped playing and turned its attention to the aircraft carrier.
Not only the military band, but also many soldiers and civilians who came from all over the world to visit also had the same expression. After all, for these people. They can be said to be really, very curious about the real performance of this aircraft carrier equipped by the People's Liberation Army.
At this time, the launching of the aircraft carrier had begun, and several inlet gates were opened on the walls around the sealed dry dock, and the surrounding sea water slowly began to pour into the inside of the dry dock, and the aircraft carrier began to rise slowly under the buoyancy of the water. at
After the water inside the dry dock was level with the sea outside, the main gate of the dry dock was slowly opened, and four small tugboats began to tow the aircraft carrier towards the sea.
It didn't take long for the aircraft carrier to slowly leave the dry dock where he was conceived and enter the ocean.
Naturally, at the time of entering the sea. The Nation is sure to make for a very striking sight. After all, this is a 10,000-ton aircraft carrier, not an ordinary cargo ship.
And the moment the Nation entered the sea, the magnificent momentum shocked almost everyone, even Li Puyu and Zhou Yanfang.
Especially Zhou Yanfang, she couldn't imagine that she was standing on such a behemoth just now.
I have to say, what is in the dock and what is in the sea. There is always a big difference.
Naturally, with the launch of the Kunlun, the military music that had been stopped sounded again.
And looking at the aircraft carrier that is swaying slightly in the waves. Recalling the scene just seen, some Chinese people began to sing the national anthem spontaneously. At first, it may have been just the spontaneous behavior of a few people, but after half a minute, the whole shipyard was singing. The sound resounded throughout the world and shocked people's hearts.
Look at the crowd around you. Those who have blended in, or foreign powers who have only been invited, have changed dramatically at the same time. I can't help but turn my eyes to the aircraft carrier that has already been launched. How did this Chinese kid bring the hearts of these Africans around him in such a short period of time.
This was followed by the launching ceremony of the first African-class battleship, and at this time the status of the battleship ranked first in the naval rankings of various countries, especially the battleships of this class naturally attracted more attention. Therefore, military attachés from all over the world are full of expectations for him.
According to the data published by the African People's Republic, the weight distribution of the entire fleet of African-class battleships was as follows: 20,212 tons of hull, 21,266 tons of armor, 1,629 tons of defense plates, 11,611 tons of weapon systems, 5,300 tons of main equipment, 1,756 tons of outfitting, 417 tons of stationary equipment, 641 tons of non-stationary equipment, and 75 tons of torpedoes (Africa is believed to carry 6-10 torpedoes of 610 mm diameter, but the ship does not have torpedo tubes, and 6-10 torpedoes do not weigh 75 tons), 95 tons of navigation, optical equipment, 1,108 tons of power equipment, 111 tons of aircraft, 297 tons of boiler water, 212 tons of prepared edible water, 4,210 tons of heavy oil, 61 tons of lubricating oil, 48 tons of light oil, total weight 69,100 tons (normal displacement).
The African-class battleship is equipped with 4 steam turbines, with a steam pressure of 50 kg/cm², a steam temperature of 415 degrees, a maximum output of 213,553 shaft horsepower, a maximum speed of 32.36 knots (sea trial), and a maximum endurance of 7,800 nautical miles/20 knots (maximum heavy fuel oil loading capacity of 6,300 tons). The Africa ship is also equipped with 10 generators with a total power of 6,000 kilowatts. The efficiency of the power system of the African ship is definitely much more advanced than that of the historical African-class battleships with the help of the Red Alert system, and because of the bulbous bow, the ship has little resistance, so it reaches an astonishing speed of 32 knots.
The bridge of the African ship is 45 meters high (counting from the keel), like a high tower, on the top of which is equipped with the main gun observation post (built-in Type 98 azimuth disk) and a large 15-meter rangefinder, and down to it is the air defense command post, the day battle bridge, the war room, the captain's lounge, the compass bridge (night battle bridge), the second chart room, and the command tower. Inside the bridge there is a straight-through elevator. The side area of the bridge of the African ship is 310 square meters, but the front area is only 159 square meters, which is only half of the side area, and its windward resistance is naturally relatively small
The "Yamato" uses a single chimney, and the flues of each boiler zigzag backwards to connect with a certain part of the chimney. The chimney is also tilted back as much as possible to avoid smoke exhaust affecting the bridge work. In order to ensure the safety of the opening of the hull chimney, a kind of honeycomb plate was installed in the opening, 380 mm thick, with many small holes with a diameter of 180 mm. The perforated area is 55% of the non-porous area, and a 50 mm thick protective deck is installed on the slope in front of the chimney and on the sides. In this way, the safety of the chimney is greatly improved.
After the chimney of the "Africa" was the rear bridge, which was the reserve combat command post. When the artillery is carried out before and after the fire is carried out, it plays the role of a rear command post.
The most terrible thing is his 460 mm main gun, what is this kid going to do?
