Chapter 183: Building an Aircraft Carrier

With a series of orders from Wu Chen, the aircraft carrier Minsk set off for Angola to replace the aircraft carrier Gorshkov, which had just arrived there, and the two aircraft carriers sold would be refitted at a dock near Chittagong, Bangladesh. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Saudi Arabia is in the form of advance payment, so Wu Chen did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately arranged for Marcas to quickly organize the R&D team to design the first Saudi conventionally powered aircraft carrier. With the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier as a standard, there is not much difficulty in designing, there are ready-made styles to compare, but having said that, things are not simple at all.

This is thanks to Marcas, since he arrived in Ukolan, he has insisted on carrying out Wu Chen's intentions, and has never interrupted the search for talents, up to now, there have been thousands of senior engineers and researchers in the former Soviet Union, working in various departments, this number can envy the average country to death.

Some of the engineers from countries such as Russia and Ukolan remain in Ukolan, mainly in the aerospace sector, such as specialists from six or seven specialized departments, such as the Sukhoi Design Bureau, the Miri Design Bureau, and the Kamov Design Bureau.

Rainbow Machinery Design and Manufacturing Bureau, Rocket Research Institute, Radio Research Institute and other major experts in the Golden Triangle, mainly on radar, computer systems, missile electronic systems, engines and power systems, including a variety of missiles from the former Soviet Union, but also nuclear energy.

As for the experts in the field of ships, in addition to the original personnel of the original Black Sea shipyard, a large number of technical personnel of Russian shipyards have been excavated, and the Red Somovol Shipyard, the St. Petersburg Shipyard and the Severodvinsk Shipyard have almost dug up the bottom of the sky, including the design talents of various warships and submarines, such as the three major submarine design bureaus of ruby, malachite and lapis lazuli. These people are mainly concentrated in the office area of the Black Sea Shipyard, which is known as the Rainbow Shipping Company Ship Design Institute.

After the restart of the Black Sea shipyards, shipbuilding began, but the bulk carriers and tankers had little technical content and did not need such expert figures. Look at the experts in aerospace, already busy, making planes and missiles again, and bringing huge profits to the company!

This group of people was a little flustered and embarrassed, and the price offered by Rainbow Shipping Company was an annual salary of 120,000 US dollars, which was really not low.

Rainbow Shipping Company never arrears wages, the design is very comfortable, what instruments to buy what equipment, and there are special security guards, service personnel and cooks, and there are additional benefits in the event of festivals.

Everyone was really idle and had nothing to do, so they began the research and development of gas turbines and various types of ships for conventionally powered aircraft carriers, because there were still three old aircraft carriers of the former Soviet Union that needed to be refitted, and various warships and submarines would be required to form a formation in the future.

This group of people are all really talented and learned, otherwise they would not have been able to get such a high salary, and in two years they actually designed two aircraft carrier engines, two missile destroyers similar to the Aegis combat system and a frigate.

"Everyone gather in the conference room, we have a big order, an aircraft carrier with an empty load of 60,000 tons!" The director, who was burdened with the pressure of a mountain, jumped to his feet and yelled in the corridor.

The doors of each research room were opened almost at the same time, and a group of people ran out like crazy, gaffes, which is not a shameful thing, everyone is too eager to work, people are often like this, they feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable when they don't work with money!

"Naval experts, on behalf of the third party, I would like to announce to you the good news that the Saudi Navy and Rainbow Shipping Company have signed an agreement to officially order a 60,000-ton aircraft carrier, to be manufactured by the Black Sea Shipyard, and the drawings will be handed over to the design institute for completion." Marcus said with a smile.

Suddenly, I received a big order, and a lot of people almost quarreled, all trying to get the task of the design drawing. This is a new aircraft carrier ordered by Saudi Arabia, and the other party is notoriously wealthy, and many dreams may become reality.

"The boss's basic requirements for this aircraft carrier are that the main body imitates the Kitty Hawk style and is divided into 11 layers, and the ship island is 8 layers, but the bow of the ship must be equipped with a sliding deck, and the design must be different, so as not to be held accountable by the United States. The flight deck is about 330 meters long and 80 meters wide, and is powered by eight boilers and four steam turbines with four-axis propulsion and a speed of 32 knots. ”

"The deck and hangar have a capacity of no less than fifty carrier-based fighters, twenty anti-submarine helicopters and transport helicopters, as well as two AWACS aircraft. Three eight-mounted anti-aircraft missile launch systems, three Phalanx anti-air defense melee systems, and four electronic decoy launch systems, among others. ”

"The boss specially asked me to tell everyone that the layout can be imitated, but to make your own creativity, there are many countries that may place orders in the future, blindly follow the Americans, and will always be a follower, and the internal must be completely changed, by the way, it is very important to reserve the position of the steam catapult system." Marcus said solemnly to a group of project leaders.

It is undeniable that the United States has the most powerful level of science and technology in the world, and the facts are the facts, and Americans are smarter than people from other countries in the world. ! If the former Soviet Union does not disintegrate, it will be almost the same as the military industrial strength of the United States, and in some places even surpass the United States.

Why couldn't the former Soviet Union build an American aircraft carrier? This is the concept of the former Soviet Union is different, the aircraft carrier has not been elevated to a strategic angle, look at the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, which was called an anti-submarine cruiser in the former Soviet Union, and it is not called an aircraft carrier at all!

If you don't build it, it doesn't mean that you can't build it, this is the secret, the mercenary corps that recruited nearly half of the essence of the experts of the former Soviet Union can naturally be built, and it is so beautiful that the Americans have nothing to say, the appearance may be similar, but the appearance of the aircraft carrier is the same.

However, anything that involves aircraft carriers will naturally attract the attention of the United States, and maritime hegemony is the country that attaches the most importance to it, and the CIA is not a vegetarian, so the general structure of aircraft carriers will definitely be able to inquire about it, and then it will be silent.

"Mr. Marcus, we have also achieved some technical achievements in two years, do we all have to equip this aircraft carrier?" The director said with a frown.

"Needless to say, use this aircraft carrier for experiments, and dismantle it when it is finally delivered, how can our advanced technology be sold to outsiders casually." Marcus said as a matter of course.

In addition to the fighter production line, there are also two missile production lines, and the Hunting Bow 1 air defense missile system, which draws on the advantages of the Patriot missile and the S-300 missile, is being produced in a secret workshop of the Southern Machine-Building Plant, which specializes in the manufacture of nuclear missiles.

Missile and radio experts located in the Golden Triangle Research Institute combined the advantages of the two missiles to make design drawings, basically using the S-300 air defense missile system, but also absorbing the advanced technology of the Patriot radar system design drawing, further improving the accuracy, after all, it is the American fighter to deal with.
