Chapter 857: Zhang Yi's Thoughts on Naval Warfare
Seeing Zhang Yi say this, Gu Mingjun's face softened, and he savored Zhang Yi's words. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]-
Yu Qiaqing on the side was also thoughtful.
Gu Mingjun replied: "President, when it comes to our naval warships, do you have any good ideas, but I know that from grenades to airplanes, there are your shadows behind them, and even some of them are designed by you yourself!" ”
Zhang Yi smiled and said: "First, in the future, our planes will fight at sea, that's for sure, last time, we were only used for offshore operations, and we could take off from land airfields, but in the future, we will conduct ocean-going operations, and the limited range of the aircraft will be limited, and the aircraft will only have a paid range of three hundred miles, which is not enough at all, and this is not something that can be conquered in the short term." Therefore, on top of the battleship, leave a certain amount of space for the aircraft, this idea is also desirable, but our current warships are limited in size, and the aircraft that can be carried are also very few, which seems to be unfeasible now, so I say that our warships are only used for verification, once a naval battle occurs, then we only have a few aircraft, which cannot form enough threat to the opponent's fleet, and at the same time seriously weaken the combat power of our warships, which is not worth the loss! ”
Gu Mingjun nodded understandingly.
Zhang Yi continued: "However, our aircraft has incomparable combat potential, and it will definitely shine in naval warfare in the future, with this battleship as the foundation, we can carry out certain experiments, and in the future, our development is to design a large ship, which is specially used for taking off and landing fighters, in the future naval warfare, the battleship itself has no combat power, and his only weapon is the fighter!" You can imagine that there are more than a dozen or even more than two dozen planes docked on a battleship, and once they take off at the same time, what a powerful combat power it will be, even if it is a fleet, it will have to retreat! ”
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this, and this president really dared to think of anything!
Liu Buyun on the side only frowned, and said, "Jianzhi, the idea you said is not realistic at all!" Let me ask you, there are no other weapons on your battleship, once you fall into melee combat in the future, then your battleship will become the target of the opponent, and any kind of battleship will be sunk by the opponent's heavy artillery! The risk is too great! ”
Zhang Yi smiled and replied, "Zixiang, what if we add an escort formation to such a warship?" As long as this formation can protect the battleship, those dozens of planes will be powerless to fight the opponent! Of course, this also requires us to have the ability to detect the enemy first, which requires our telescopes and reconnaissance technology to be improved accordingly, but I think this will be our direction in the future, it may be too early now, but in less than 20 years, this weapon will definitely shock the world! ”
In the future, that is, more than ten years after the appearance of aircraft, aircraft carriers have begun to take shape, and in 1918, Britain began to appear actual combat carriers, but at that time, a fleet had not yet been formed, and its power was limited. say
However, more than ten years of time, not short, not too long, especially I have promoted the early line-up of the aircraft, after all, to promote the emergence of future air battles and aircraft carriers, but no one can say the pros and cons.
If you don't instill such an idea in them now, maybe in ten years, aircraft carriers will appear in other countries!
Gu Mingjun on the side said in a loud voice: "Chief, what the president said makes sense, the fighter will be the decisive 'sexual' weapon in the future war, and it is definitely not a dream for the fighter to take off and land at will from the battleship, but we can't come up with the corresponding technology yet, what the president means is that we should start preparing this technology from now on, right?" ”
Zhang Yi laughed, this Gu Ming is worthy of being an expert in battleships, and he can understand it himself!
Zhang Yi replied: "Ming Jun, what you said is so right, you just have to take precautions!" No one can say whether England will have a full-scale war with us in the future, don't look at us defeating Tsarist Russia, but if Tsarist Russia does not have the containment of Germany, who will kill the deer, it is still unknown, not to mention England, which is several times stronger than Tsarist Russia? We have to do it! ”
Gu Mingjun nodded and replied: "Don't worry, President, I have taken your words to heart, and I will mobilize our core engineering experts to make every effort to carry out research and development in this area!" ”
Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "This plan can be carried out among Chinese engineers, and it is listed as a national first-class top secret!" If you want to take the lead, you can't do it without the protection measures in the newspaper, and all foreign engineers can't participate! Those who leak information will be sentenced to death for treason! ”
Yu Qiaqing replied: "Okay, president, I will make strict arrangements in this regard!" ”
Gu Mingjun said eagerly: "President, do you have any other ideas, your thinking is too broad, compared to you, I have checked too much......
Zhang Yi continued: "Well, back to our warships, as you know, there are two important data on the overall combat level of warships, one is the speed, and the other is the armor, which is fast, which means that our warships are more flexible and can better evade shells; Thick armor is its own defense strength, but thick armor will inevitably sacrifice our speed, this problem has been plaguing military researchers, what we have to do is to reduce the weight of our armor in the future as much as possible without reducing the defense force! Once we make a breakthrough in this direction in the future, it will be a fatal blow to the enemy! ”
Gu Mingjun carefully wrote down this question and waited for future research.
Zhang Yi continued: "There is also our artillery technology, the first enemy to discover, the first to strike, will be an important idea of our navy, the first to discover the enemy, the first to strike at the enemy, the enemy's 'firing' range of large-scale artillery bombardment, this is the key to our victory!" The 'firing' range of the cannon is directly related to the caliber multiple, and now the mainstream of research in various countries is still above the 45 times the caliber, in the future, this parameter will be eliminated, and the 48 times caliber and 50 times the caliber will definitely appear in a very short period of time, on the warships of the great powers, what we need to do is to carry out research and development in this area as soon as possible! ”
Gu Mingjun scratched his head and replied: "President, if it is a problem with warships, I can take care of everything, to say something proud, we Chinese, shipbuilding technology surpasses mine now, even in Britain and the United States, there are still not many who can surpass me!" But artillery technology, then forget it, this 'handover' to the military-industrial complex, hehe......"
