The US Navy always likes to engage in some cutting-edge weapons and equipment that go beyond the needs of reality, such as the well-known Zumwalt-class destroyers, such as the Littoral Combat Ship, all of which are quite crumply designs, not that there is no need to do so, but that it is not a mistake to build a verification ship, and it will be troublesome to put it into practical use.

There is a saying that is good, if the step is too big, it is easy to pull the egg, and if it is too advanced, it is good, not equal to practical, and the combat effectiveness needs to be stable first, followed by the advanced, and it can't be used, and there is a fart for the ahead?

The Ford-class aircraft carrier is also guilty of this problem, this is definitely an epoch-making masterpiece in the history of aircraft carrier development, and it is not too much to call it the world's most powerful aircraft carrier, but there are too many advanced science and technology applications, Wu Chen believes that there is no need to make the current stage of operations so complicated, resulting in the delay of this class of aircraft carriers from entering actual combat.

The design of the Ford-class aircraft carrier began in the 90s of the last century, and until Wu Chen's soul traveled through time and space, it was not completely in normal service for 21 years, and the impact test was never carried out, and the cost reached an unprecedented cost of more than 15 billion US dollars, in fact, it was even more.

Wu Chen is not afraid of spending more than 10 billion US dollars to build a supercarrier, but he is afraid that he will not be able to do it in actual combat, and the only thing that interests him is the electromagnetic catapult. This is really a good thing, it is more efficient than the steam catapult with fewer people, it does not need to be maintained at a high frequency, the steam catapult is too troublesome, the pressure is unstable and can cause a threat, the temperature is too low to work, it accounts for about one-sixth of the personnel of the aircraft carrier, and it is especially impossible to catapult light aircraft.

"Boss, why did our electronic warfare aircraft choose the F-14 Super Tomcat as the basis, isn't the Super Hornet better?" Marcus said incomprehensibly.

In the storage equipment, Wu Chen made a plan for a new type of electronic warfare aircraft, and asked the R&D department to use the F-14 Super Tomcat fighter as the main body to redesign a fighter to make it have electronic warfare and air-ground integrated combat capabilities to replace the aging EA-6B electronic jamming aircraft.

"Practicality in war is higher than advancement, and in fact, even the generals of the US Navy do not understand that the Super Hornet will become the main carrier-based fighter. The F-14 Super Tomcat fighter, but it has not undergone modern upgrades and modifications, and its age is relatively long, and when it comes to actual combat capabilities, it is definitely stronger than the Super Hornet. ”

"The combat radius is large, the Super Hornet is only more than 700 kilometers, while the Super Tomcat has more than 900 kilometers, and the bomb load of the weapon is not much different, the Super Tomcat has a speed of Mach 2.38, the Super Hornet has only Mach 1.8, and the Super Tomcat has a range of several hundred kilometers more than the Super Hornet, therefore, regardless of the fifth-generation fighter, in the choice of the fourth-generation fighter, the Super Tomcat is no less than the Super Hornet in all aspects."

"I want the R&D department to modernize the design of the Super Tomcat and make it a model for the transition to the American standard fourth-generation fighter, and to use it as the main electronic warfare aircraft, our starting point is higher than that of the American electronic warfare aircraft." Wu Chen said.

Wu Chen believes that it will take a long time to enter the era of information warfare in an all-round way, and the fourth-generation fighter has not become the main fighter of various countries, and so far the United States has still not produced any results in the joint strike fighter project.

During this buffer period of more than ten years, the third-generation fighter can be used as a verification machine to test the modern technology that the scientific research department is constantly updating, and the actual combat will not be affected, and the price is still low, which is simply a plan to kill many birds with one stone.

It didn't rain in New York for a few days in the spring, but as soon as Wu Chen finished calling, he felt raindrops falling, and a gust of wind blew, bringing a hint of coldness. This is a temperate continental climate, the temperature is about 10 degrees, and there is even a tendency to decrease, and it is normal for it to rain and cool down, and it will not fall too much.

The most important thing in this park is trees, Wu Chen pushed his second-hand mountain bike, came to the bottom of a big tree, and did not panic, because at most a few minutes, the nearby guards would bring him an umbrella or raincoat.

"Sir, while the rain is light, you should hurry up and ride home at this time, instead of hiding under a tree to avoid the rain." Phoebe came to her side unexpectedly, she had an umbrella.

This rain came very suddenly, the temperature was not low when it came, Phoebe was just wearing a tennis suit, it was rain and wind, it was hard to say whether she would catch a cold.

"I'm nothing, but you have to pay attention to keep warm, just now I saw that you were busy packing up your things, your body was wet, the weather was a little cold, you were wearing a little less, beware of catching a cold." Wu Chen took off his coat and draped it on Phoebe very generously.

Although it was just a thin coat, Phoebe seemed to be able to feel that the clothes carried the body temperature and breath of the man in front of her, as well as some tobacco smell, and there was a trace of warmth in her heart, this is a man who knows how to care about women.

Seeing the steaming teacup handed in front of her, she thanked her and didn't think much about it, took it and took a sip, and then thought that the two actually shared a teacup! God, didn't he know that it was rude?

He stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops dripping from the leaves, and bent his fingers like a naughty child, and then bounced the raindrops away, this childish action seemed to make him very happy, Phoebe was actually a little fascinated by it, what is the story of this man?

"Next Saturday night, there is a community concert in the park, we organize it ourselves, anyone can participate, will you come?" Phoebe didn't care, she took the teacup and continued to drink, not to mention, this green tea tasted great, smelling fragrant and slightly sweet.

"I'll be in New York for two months, and as long as I have time, I'll be involved in your activities, and I'll have nothing to do at night anyway." The man said with a smile.

Phoebe doesn't know if this guy recognizes himself or not, but since he didn't take the initiative to mention it, he can't say this kind of thing, so he can't tell him that he is a star, right? Perhaps in the eyes of most people, it has long been a thing of the past.

"I'm really going crazy, so many things are waiting for the boss to decide, but what about him, but he is a pickle girl at ease in New York, and he is still an outdated actress, but to be honest, he is indeed very beautiful and very temperamental, but he is a person with a family and children, which is a bit unreasonable, right?" A frustrated Marcus grumbled.

"What do you care, the boss has borne too much pressure in the past eight years, and it is rare to have the opportunity to find a favorite woman by himself, to find the feeling of active pursuit, wishful thinking, if she is not tempted, the boss will not use those shady means, don't you know that modern love is popular to find feelings?" Hunter couldn't stop laughing.

"That's right, the boss is always chased by beautiful women, but he has never taken the initiative to pursue women, seeing that the big war is coming, he also needs to relax his spirit, the process is the most important, and the result is secondary." Thompson said.

For such a thing, a thousand people have a thousand opinions, as Wu Chen's old subordinates and old friends, they all know what happened first, starting from the dead woman, Wu Chen has never taken the initiative to pursue a woman again, with his current status, wealth, and power, there are girls who chase him, but this is a pity after all.
