Chapter 468 Floating Island Aircraft Carrier

'Sex' price ratio such a high cruise missile from their own hands. How can people not be proud?

'Private' Li Baoqiang asked Gao Zehao. This design concept was come up with by Gao Zehao himself or borrowed from others.

Gao Zehao smiled: "Of course it's someone else's idea. When I first came across a post on a 'mixed' military forum on the Internet. Talk about how to make cruise missiles in a 'private' workshop. It's just a few thousand words of text. I'm interested. I copied it. Studied it carefully. Figured it out inside and out. Fortunately, the calculated data is copied to a CD-ROM. Otherwise, it will be scrapped by a solar storm."

"Holy. You're a military otaku god."

Li Baoqiang admired it very much. gave Gao Zehao a well-known name. At the same time, he sighed. I was also an otaku myself before I became a soldier. But my biggest hobby is collecting photos of Japanese romance action movie 'female' actors. Hey.

Li Baoqiang secretly compared, and finally comforted himself: There are specializations in the art industry, and people are different, Gao Zehao is still suitable for scientific research, and he is still suitable for rushing to kill, and by the way, marry a few more wives.

A few days later, Gao Zehao and his parents took a boat back to Wuhan, China, where the Wuhan Institute of Marine Engineering was Gao Zehao's paradise.

It is precisely because of the superior scientific research conditions of Wuhan Offshore Engineering that Gao Zehao's dream of being a military otaku has been realized.

The whimsy in this guy's head, as well as his strong hands-on ability, as well as his strong ideas, have copied all the armament products in the world in his previous life, and used all the civilian equipment he can get at hand to create various weapons that are no less than regular military products, which greatly meets the combat needs of the civil defense forces.

It is worth mentioning. He based it on a concept in a military forum. The construction scheme of a giant floating island aircraft carrier base was proposed. It has been recognized by many naval experts.

It's another whimsy.

The floating island aircraft carrier base envisioned by Gao Zehao is a fixed structure. It is equivalent to building a small airfield at sea . The runway is about 1000 meters long. It can be used for all kinds of aircraft to take off and land safely. And the cost is only the cost of a large oil tanker.

It is envisaged to build a displacement of 500,000 tons. It is 900 meters long, 90 meters wide and 60 meters high. It can carry 300-500 land-based aircraft of various types. Speed 6 knots. Large semi-submersible floating island-style maritime airport. It is made up of 6 independent assembly modules. Its flight deck area is two or three times larger than that of a 100,000-ton Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Of course, the number of aircraft stationed in the station is also 2~3 times more.

This floating island aircraft carrier can be used as a sea advance base or a replenishment and maintenance base for ships and aircraft.

On a floating island-type aircraft carrier. Most aircraft, including the C-130, can almost take off and land safely. There is no need for complex ejection and blocking devices.

Based on Li Baoqiang's Civil Defense Force, it is necessary to pursue a global strategy. There are not a large number of naval and air bases. If you want to implement a global strategy. It is not so convenient to use naval and air forces to interfere in the affairs of other countries. It is precisely against this background that the floating island aircraft carrier concept was born.

It can be said that in the context of the end times. On the premise that the technology is gradually backward. This kind of cheap-cost maritime "aircraft carrier" is very suitable for Li Baoqiang's global strategy. Just in time.

The so-called floating island aircraft carrier is actually a floating naval strategic aviation base. Since a floating island-type aircraft carrier is just a concept of a platform or base. Therefore, other tactical and technical indicators are no longer forced in the design idea. For example, high speed is not required. Five or six verses are sufficient. As long as you can move slowly; It is not required to be equipped with strong offensive fire force and weapons. Because according to tradition. The safety of such platforms is guaranteed by escort ships.

Due to the fact that the aircraft taking off and landing on the floating island aircraft carrier have a long combat radius. So in terms of combat . Floating island aircraft carriers are the same as naval and air bases such as Okinawa bases. Stay away from the war zone. Do not enter threatened sea areas. Do not directly participate in combat missions . Therefore it should be relatively safe.

According to the calculations of Gao Zehao and naval experts. If you deploy 1 floating island aircraft carrier in the sea far away from the war zone. Its overall combat effectiveness is equivalent to 5 heavy aircraft carriers.

In accordance with the provisions of international law. Warships are the land of a country's mobility. It is a symbol of a country's sovereignty and rights.

Without permission. No one is allowed to enter the warship at will. No aircraft or ship can pose a threat to a warship at will. Any incident of attacking or destroying it is considered a formal aggression against a country.

Therefore. Those countries that want to build aircraft carriers but can't for various reasons . It is possible to develop some offshore platforms similar to floating island aircraft carriers.

In fact. As a coastal defensive naval state. Such a platform is very cost-effective. It is better to be able to sail and maneuver. In order to save money. It doesn't matter even if it's a fixed offshore platform that can't be maneuvered.

If in the exclusive economic zone and the frontier waters of the disputed zone of the continental shelf. Stationing some combat or support aircraft. At the same time, it can also provide some support for warships. In this way, the navy and air force can carry out normal patrols in the middle and distant sea areas. to defend national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. Its deterrent effect is quite obvious.

It is also possible to build or deploy several such stationary offshore bases using surfacing islands and reefs or coral reef disks that cannot surface. It's completely civil 'sexual'. It can be placed under the jurisdiction of a local government.

Civil vessels, civil aircraft, and offshore oil development departments can all use such floating islands for marine development. Fishery fishing. Air Shipping. Oil & Gas Exploration. Oceanographic Surveys. Sea Rescue. Supplies, food, fresh water supplies. Maintenance of machinery and equipment and medical care of personnel, etc. It can also open up sea and air tourism routes. Educate the people on the concept of the sea and the concept of national defense. Of course, the army can be requisitioned urgently when needed. It serves as a military base to support naval operations.

In short, both from a civilian and military point of view. This cheap giant offshore mobile platform. It is very suitable for the current global strategy of Li Baoqiang's civil defense forces.

As for the security aspect. Gao Zehao also has a special 'door' to consider.

Naturally, there must be ships on the periphery of the floating island aircraft carrier platform. Escort defense of submarines. Also in the construction of the platform. A lot of safety measures have also been taken.

First all compartments below the waterline. All of them adopt independent small spatial distribution. So that once hit by a torpedo etc. The damage surface is not very large. Extremely beneficial for damage control.

In addition, these small independent compartments are filled with a large amount of flame retardant foam. It can provide a certain amount of buoyancy. At the same time, it can also be flame retardant to prevent water ingress.

Also above the main deck. Because the space is huge. Suitable for placing all kinds of on the sea. Anti-aircraft weapons. Other words. This floating island-style platform is above the main deck. became a huge weapon platform. It's not an exaggeration to call it a fortress of weapons.

The premise of self-insurance is guaranteed. Then this slow-moving giant offshore platform. There is a need to exist.

It has been fully verified by some experts. There is also computer simulation verification. In the end, Li Baoqiang made the decision. Immediately mobilize a large number of ship experts to start designing and building.

In fact, for this kind of simple platform. The technology of building the main body is very mature. Steam-powered steam turbine technology is also very mature. So the construction of the platform did not encounter any difficulties.
