As a symbol of a country's comprehensive national strength and an indispensable weapon for maritime operations, aircraft carriers are what all military powers in the world want to possess and vigorously develop.

Aircraft carriers are high-tech products, with carrier-based combat aircraft as their main weapon, and can mobilize a large number of carrier-based aircraft to carry out combat operations without relying on local airport facilities when they are far away from the country's homeland.

But to build an aircraft carrier, it is not a simple matter at first sight, so there are only a handful of countries that can build aircraft carriers independently.

This is true even in the 21st century.

Although not many countries have the industrial capacity and technology to build aircraft carriers independently, many countries have come up with ways to deal with these aircraft carriers, such as using bombers to dive bombing at high altitudes, and missile attacks; Or use surface ship fire attacks and send underwater submarines to launch torpedoes and other proven methods to sink these carriers.

Of course, there is another very cheap and effective method of attack, which is to use mines.

Mines have the characteristics of low price, tremendous power, easy to deploy, and difficult to discover and clear up and other operational flexibility; moreover, the technical content of mines is higher than that of mines, and the cost of dismantling a mine is generally 10 times that of laying a mine, and some people even say that the cost of removing a mine is 10 to 200 times that of laying it.

A mine is an explosive weapon laid in water, which can be detonated by the mechanical collision of a ship or by the action of other non-contact factors (such as magnetism, noise, water pressure, etc.), which is somewhat similar to a ground mine, which is used to damage enemy ships or hinder their activities.

Due to the low production cost and high lethality of mines, they are deeply liked by many countries that do not have aircraft carriers, and are produced and used in large quantities.

Because a single mine can sink a medium-sized warship or damage a large warship, and mines are arranged on the bottom of the sea and are difficult to detect.

Mines can be cast in a variety of ways, from specialized minelayers to aircraft, submarines, etc., or by hand in ports under their control.

Moreover, with the development of science and technology, the detonation methods of mines are becoming more and more varied, such as contact, electromagnetic, voice-controlled, hydrostatic and hybrid reaction mines, as well as remote-controlled mines, as well as rocket ascent mines, and self-propelled mines and other automatic triggers to strike the enemy's ships.

As for the types of mines, there are countless types of mines, such as the sinking mine, the Type 66 anti-landing mine, the "Stonefish" mine, the M70 mine, the Iraqi Sigee 1400 mine, the "Sepia" anchor mine, the "Osprey" class minehunter, and the "Oxey" class minehunter......

The classification of mines includes magnetic mines invented during World War II, non-triggered mine acoustic mines, hydrostatic mines, "storm" remote-controlled mines, modern sinking mines with multiple sensors "Stonefish" mines, as well as submersible self-propelled mines that can penetrate the enemy's anti-submarine facilities, and PMK-1 anti-submarine mines that will actively attack, as well as rocket floating cable anchor mines, which are a new type of directional attack mines that are successfully applied in the successful application of missile technology in mine weapons, and finally equipped with very advanced micro-information processing machines and sensitive sound and magnetism, water pressure sensor, the program can be controlled, so it can be on standby at all times to "kill the enemy"; and the convenient, concealed and safe "sea urchin" mines.

For such a dazzling variety of types of torpedoes, Chen Yanlong was also dazzled by the exchange system of his mobile phone mall, and even the more he watched, the more excited he became, and he wished he could have them all.

Because if he has these powerful mines, then he will be able to reduce the recruitment of many naval soldiers and logistics personnel, and he will also be able to kill enemy ships and aircraft carriers invisibly, which is simply the weapon that a poor country will say in later generations to deal with aircraft carriers and ships, and it is also the kind of cheap and amazing effect.

Therefore, after Chen Yanlong dispatched a large number of submarine troops of the Yi 400 series, he hurriedly opened the mobile phone exchange system, and after some selection, Chen Yanlong exchanged for the M70 sinking mine used to attack surface ships and submarines, with a service life of 4 years and a destruction radius of 20 meters, and the M70 sinking mine used to block ports and sea passages, and to strike ships with a displacement of 5,000-20,000 tons, and can also hit submarines.

and the -01-Anchor II trigger mine, which is specially designed to block shipping lanes and ports, and can be laid by surface ships or submarines at a water depth of 15-120 meters, with a service life of 1 year and a radius of destruction of 10 meters.

Of course, there are still many mines, and Chen Yanlong also wants to exchange them, but because of the authority of the exchange system and the lack of energy points, he can only temporarily exchange these three kinds of mines in large quantities.

Originally, when Chen Yanlong wanted to exchange for Iraq in 1991, he laid out the KMD-500 and KMD imported from the former Soviet Union

- Type 1000 Sinking Mine, UDM Sinking Mine, aM Small Trigger Anchor Mine, 08/39 Medium Trigger Anchor Mine, and Italian Manta Mine;

As well as the A1-Muthena-35 and -45 defensive mines, the LUGM145 trigger anchor mines, the Sigee 1400 and the Sumailer series of sunken mines.

Of course, if it is the H/MTC-05 non-triggered sinking water pressure induction mine (formerly known as: Shen 5 mine), and the H/MTC-06 non-triggered sinking acoustic-magnetic combined induction mine (formerly known as: Shen 6 mine), and the first vertical floating rocket mine successfully developed in 1989 is called the "special one" type mine, codenamed T-1 or EM-52, as well as the special two remote-controlled sinking mines, the special three intelligent mines, the special five self-propelled mines, and the 02-Anchor four non-triggered deep-water ultrasonic mines, and the 01-Drift-1 and -02-2 and other advanced mines to deploy and build a large number of minefields to blockade British ports and sink their aircraft carriers and ships.

Of course, for Chen Yanlong, it would be even better if he could exchange for the nuclear submarine, which poses the greatest threat to aircraft carriers, and weapons and equipment such as anti-ship missiles, nuclear missiles, and heavy high-explosive mines [torpedoes].

Just like the world's largest and most advanced aircraft carrier in the future, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the United States, with a full load displacement of more than 100,000 tons, but even such an advanced aircraft carrier, once it encounters a sneak attack by a large group of nuclear submarines, it is also very dangerous, and the chance of being sunk is almost 100%.

Because according to the network data of later generations, it can be seen that among the weapons that pose a great threat to aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines bear the brunt, and these nuclear submarines also carry a large number of submarine-launched anti-ship missiles and torpedoes, and their attack power is extremely strong. Even if only one or two ships break through the aircraft carrier's anti-submarine warning circle and reach the attack position, it is enough to pose a considerable threat to the aircraft carrier.

Because the aircraft carrier's own defense capability is relatively insufficient, under certain conditions, many nuclear submarines can launch a saturation attack on the aircraft carrier with only the anti-ship missiles and torpedoes they carry, making the aircraft carrier defenseless.

However, even if these advanced weapons and equipment can be exchanged, no one can use them, so Chen Yanlong is also very helpless.

Because the world's first nuclear submarine was the American "Nautilus", which began its first sea trials on January 24, 1954, that is to say, Chen Yanlong can still exchange some early nuclear submarines for combat.

However, in the face of these nuclear submarines with large endurance, no need to surface, and can avoid air attacks, as well as powerful combat capabilities, Chen Yanlong is now very short of naval personnel who know how to use them, so he can only find a way to redeem them for training and combat after the end of the Sicilian Campaign.

Because if he forcibly exchanged the nuclear submarine, if it is not qualified, or if it has not undergone strict professional training, then it is easy to have a fatal accident.

Just like later generations, from 1963 to 2011, countries also suffered many casualties due to nuclear submarine accidents.

After exchanging the mines, Chen Yanlong only thought about the difficulties of exchanging nuclear submarines, so he did not think about exchanging nuclear submarines, but tried to find a way to deploy these mines in the vicinity of the British port where the US aircraft carrier fleet was moored in the vicinity of the British port for minefields.

As for whether these mines can be successfully deployed in British ports and how many British and American ships can be blown up and sunk, Chen Yanlong does not have much confidence in this question.

Because the first aircraft carrier fleet has minesweepers, destroyers and other ships to carry out minesweeping, and escort.

Second, mines were laid in the vicinity of British ports, and their whereabouts were easily detected by British reconnaissance planes.
