A discussion was held on how to solve the problem of how to solve the problem of China's bottleneck catapult in the construction of aircraft carriers. Deng Feng put forward the bold idea of directly developing an electromagnetic catapult. was denied by Li Dawei. But Deng Feng's proposal was supported by Liu Jun.

"Dawei, your statement is untenable." Liu Jun said: "I agree with Deng Feng's proposal for leapfrog development, and it is true that the United States has spent nearly 30 years developing electromagnetic catapults, but these 30 years have been a process of continuous exploration and research, and our development has been carried out on the basis of their completion of this exploration and research process." At least we don't have to argue that it's technically feasible. In this regard, I communicated with Zhang Hengshan and the comrades of the original base doctoral station, and the heart of the electromagnetic catapult is a linear induction motor more than 100 meters long, which pushes the armature connected to the aircraft. And the armature is basically a U-shaped aluminum block, which is mounted on 3 sides of the stator.

Liu Jun clicked on the laptop in front of him and said, "The principle of linear motor is not complicated. Imagine a rotating induction motor split and flattened along the radius, resulting in a linear induction motor. In linear motors, which are equivalent to the stator of rotating motors, are called primary; It is equivalent to the rotor of a rotating machine, which is called a secondary. The primary is connected to communication, and the secondary is moving in a straight line along the primary under the action of electromagnetic force. At this point, the primary level needs to be very long, extending to the point where the movement needs to be, while the secondary level does not need to be that long. In fact, linear motors can make both the primary and secondary very long; It can be both primary fixed and secondary mobile, and secondary fixed and primary mobile. ”

Then Liu Jun switched the picture of the large screen to the picture of the schematic diagram of the electromagnetic catapult and said: "The electromagnetic catapult does not work only by linear motors, it is composed of forced energy storage devices, high-power power control equipment, central microcomputer industrial control and linear induction motors. I remember that in later generations, there was a project team led by Ma Mingwei who completed the whole process of prototype development and testing in only 5 years, and all 43 key technologies of electromagnetic catapult were overcome by Ma Mingwei's project team and 32 national defense patents were declared. So don't be too superstitious about the so-called high technology of Lao Mei. If the Chinese really make up their minds, they will be no worse than them. Therefore, I think Deng Feng's idea is correct and feasible. ”

The supreme leader liked to hear this, and he took the lead in applauding and said: "Comrade Liu Jun said it well! The Chinese have the ambition and ability, and will certainly catch up with and surpass the world in the near future. ”

During the three-day meeting, the participants discussed the "Outline for the Development of China's National Defense Construction for the Second Five-Year Period" and made necessary adjustments to some projects. At the meeting, the supreme leader made important arrangements for China's future development strategy, he said; Mr. Peng is right when he says that China has now become a maritime power straddling the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. If I didn't have a strong people's navy, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well. In order to oppose imperialist aggression, we must build a powerful people's navy.

With regard to the second five-year program for the development of national defense construction, we have made some necessary adjustments this time, and such adjustments are necessary. In everything we do, we must grasp the main contradictions, we must have a key point, and nuclear submarines and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers can be carried out simultaneously. It's better for Nie Shuai to be in charge. Nuclear submarines should be prioritized, why? Because nuclear submarines are an indispensable means to ensure that we have a full nuclear strike capability, and they are a strategic surname. Without it, our words would have no weight, and no one would listen.

There are still some technical problems in the construction of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and this is a huge systems project, and we must also do it, don't be in a hurry, we have to eat one bite at a time, and if we can't get it out in five years, we will use it for eight years, ten years, ten years, and eight years, and there will always be a result. All in all, it's going to be done.

The supreme chief took a puff of cigarette, paused slightly, and then said: Before we build an aircraft carrier, in order to maintain our security in the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca, this sea corridor, we will first build several airports on the islands in the South China Sea that can echo each other, so as to maintain the safety of our deterrent force in the region and the fishermen fishing there. Xiao Jinguang of the Navy is responsible for this matter, which is a major matter and must be grasped well.

Then the supreme chief pointed to the prime minister and said very wittily: The prime minister is still your boss, and if you lack money, materials, and people, you will find your boss.

Then I looked at Deng Feng and said, we must strengthen the work on Singapore and Indonesia, and we should not go too far on the issue of Singapore and Indonesia, and let the South Asian [***] alliance take the lead to do a good job. Have you explained all these to Wang Xiaoyi?

Deng Feng nodded and said, "It's all clear." ”

The construction of China's aircraft carrier has always been a lingering dream of Deng Feng and other soldiers from later generations. Since coming to this era, this group of republicans who have been crushed by American aircraft carriers in later generations have begun to plan for future opportunities and aircraft carrier projects. Since then, they have paid attention to collecting information from all sides, even on the CD-ROMs of feature films depicting aircraft carriers during World War II. When Liu Jun set out to draft the "Outline for the Development of China's National Defense Construction in the Second Five-Year Period," he found Zhang Hengshan, general manager of the original base Blue Sky Aircraft Maintenance and Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and those people who were originally stationed at the postdoctoral workstation in the factory to discuss the feasibility of building aircraft carriers. To be honest, it is not easy to find these people together now, most of these people are not the absolute main force in major scientific research institutes or the chief engineers of major factories. However, after all, the base is everyone's hometown, and they are all visiting professors of "Blue Sky University of Science and Technology", so they can still come back if they make a move.

In this era, everyone's political status is high, and when everyone gets together, they are naturally full of pride, "Engage!" If you want to do it, you have to build a heavy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a high starting point! Zhang Hengshan, the deputy minister of the 3rd Aircraft Department, took the lead in expressing his position.

"That's right! Just refer to the old American Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. Peng Jiahui, a researcher at the Blue Sky Research Institute, said. I have information on the American aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt.

Zhang Hengshan asked with a look of surprise: "The information of the Roosevelt!" Full? ”

"I don't dare to say anything, but the main things are there," Peng Jiahui said, "The 128G USB flash drive is full of information about the Roosevelt aircraft carrier."

"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier," Liu Jun also said excitedly, "I thought the Air Police 2000 mainframe computer had the most complete information." Then he asked, "Where did you get there?" ”

"In '07, when I was doing my PhD in the United States, I downloaded it on my mentor's puter." Peng Jiahui replied calmly.

"You kid can do a great job now!" Liu Jun patted Peng Jiahui on the shoulder and said, "Why didn't the CIA arrest you?" ”

"Scratch a fart, do you think the old American CIA is so powerful. There are a lot of these things in the United States for decades," Peng Jiahui said disapprerovingly: "I didn't want to serve the motherland when I came back, and by the way, I would exchange some money to buy a house or something." I was afraid that there would be too much content, so I deliberately went to buy a relatively large USB flash drive. I didn't expect to come back and no one took JB seriously. I'm so angry that I haven't deleted it. ”

"Thank God, thanks to you for not deleting it" Liu Junle's mouth couldn't close, and said: "Okay, you make a few more backups immediately, ha, ha, I'm in a treat tonight, what do you want to eat, drink and talk!" ”

"However, if you want me to see that the aircraft carrier's own defensive firepower is too poor, the defense task is mainly carried out by the destroyers of the aircraft carrier formation and the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier, and the self-defense firepower of the old Maozi's 'Kuznetsov' aircraft carrier is relatively fierce, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of ordinary cruisers. Shall we learn from it and build an aircraft carrier with Chinese characteristics?" Zhang Hengshan said imaginatively: "Lao Maozi's Kuznetsov is equipped with a total of 12 SS-N-19 vertical-launch anti-ship missile installations under the flight deck. The missile can receive target information through satellites and carry out over-the-horizon strikes, with a maximum range of up to 550 kilometers. In addition, the anti-aircraft firepower of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier has far surpassed that of the US "Nimitz" class aircraft carrier, which is sufficient to effectively resist the opponent's 'saturation attack' in large numbers, in multiple batches, and in multiple directions. In addition, the Kuznetsov's anti-submarine capabilities are also very strong, in addition to being equipped with anti-submarine helicopters, there are two 10-tube RBU-12000 rocket depth launchers, which can destroy underwater targets at a depth of 12,000 meters. ”

"Mr. Zhang, you said that set is not good. The main armament of an aircraft carrier is the various carrier-based aircraft it is carrying, including fighters, bombers, early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, etc. Carrier-based aircraft are the best offensive and defensive weapons of aircraft carriers, and the entire aircraft carrier battle group can, under the overall control and command of the aircraft carrier, search, track, lock, and attack hostile targets hundreds of kilometers away, and carry out over-the-horizon strikes, and what missiles with a maximum range of up to 550 kilometers can be used? The Soviet Union did this because its early warning aircraft could not keep up with it and the degree of informatization was low. The Soviet aircraft carrier model was also a product of the mechanized era. ”

Peng Jiahui immediately denied the statement of his former boss: "The aircraft carrier we want to build and the aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union must be two concepts, and we should refer to the 'Ford' class aircraft carrier in the late period of the United States." First of all, it is an information contact platform. The ship should have a phased array radar with high tracking accuracy, strong anti-jamming ability, and multi-function ability to detect, identify, and track multiple batches of targets. The command and control capability of the early warning aircraft on it should also be very strong, so that the sea area controlled by the entire fleet will be very large. In addition to the aircraft airborne radar on the carrier-based aircraft, tsk. Tut. How big do you think that's that? In my opinion, it is at least 5 or 600 times more capable of aircraft carriers. In addition, it is necessary to equip special electronic aircraft, as well as anti-submarine aircraft, and these carrier-based aircraft are all information-based combat aircraft. There is also an electromagnetic catapult system that is to adopt a new concept of low-carbon environmental protection on the aircraft carrier, which has relatively high efficiency. It can launch both large aircraft of thirty or forty tons, as well as small UAVs. If the American steam catapult is adopted, the small drone is too light to launch"

Liu Jun interrupted Peng Jiahui's bold idea, and asked with some concern: "Can the current personnel, technology, and materials keep up?" ”

"Stationmaster, as long as the central government is determined to do it, these are not problems, and they will definitely be able to do it. Isn't the current slogan that if there are conditions, we must go up, and if we don't have the conditions to create conditions, we must also go up. You haven't worked with the older generation of scientists, you don't know them, these people are not like us. They give us a little sunshine and a little penetration, chase it to the end, often ask us 'no electricity' and they can immediately come up with a solution that you can't even think of. The head is so good. The main thing is that they don't have any distractions at all, and they think about the projects they take on all day long. I now really know how we came up with two bombs and one satellite under unimaginable and difficult circumstances in history. It's really not okay if you don't convince me, I'm ashamed of myself. ”

Peng Jiahui thought about it and said with some concern: "Now that the information is available, no one has actually worked on an aircraft carrier, and there are some problems in some processing technology."

"Don't worry about this, many of the people in Komoto's labor have participated in the design and production of aircraft carriers, at the Kawasaki Kobe Shipyard and the Yokosuka Naval Yard. More than 18,000 engineers and technicians have worked in China, such as the Mitsubishi Nagasaki Shipyard and the Kure Naval Factory, and half of them have obtained Chinese nationality. Zhang Hengshan continued: "There are more than 100 engineers and technicians in our department, and in terms of their own personal quality, they are really first-class. ”

Liu Jun looked at these old comrades-in-arms and said: "Lao Zhang, to be honest, it is not easy for us to get together now, this time we will stay at home for a few more days and get out this draft of the second five-year national defense construction and development outline." What do you think? ”

“ok，noproblem.” (Okay, no problem) Zhang Hengshan still has the stinky problems brought by later generations and replied.

Soon after the enlarged meeting of the military, New China officially launched the 591 Project, a development plan for developing a new generation of aircraft carriers, and the 591 Project task plans circled by the top leaders were issued to the central ministries and commissions.

Project: Project 591 Category: Ship - Aircraft Carrier Model: Julong 59 Class Purpose: Used to fight for sea supremacy and air supremacy in combat sea areas, attack sea, underwater and land targets, support amphibious operations and implement strategic deterrence, etc., equipped with anti-submarine control center and a corresponding series of anti-submarine facilities, can comprehensively carry out attack (sea and air dominance) and anti-submarine warfare multi-purpose aircraft carrier, is the main surface warship of the Chinese Navy in the future.

Surname can requirements: 1, the power system is advanced, and the airworthiness surname can be excellent. The reactor has a core life of 13-15 years and can sail 80-1 million nautical miles with a single fuel change. It can stay at sea for months without resupply, and it is self-sustaining.

2. The structure is sealed and has extremely high survivability. The project required the use of a closed flight deck, the hull below the hangar is an integral sealing structure, divided into 8 floors from the double bottom to the hangar deck, and provided with multiple horizontal watertight bulkheads. The underwater protection of the Julong 59 aircraft carrier requires that the underwater parts of the hull on each side are equipped with five anti-torpedo attack compartments that can withstand the explosion of 300 kg of ordinary bombs, and there are more than 2,300 watertight compartments below the waterline of the whole ship. Even if a small part of the compartment is flooded, the aircraft carrier will not sink. The Dragon 59 class aircraft carrier is required to be equipped with an ammunition depot protection system to combat missile attacks. Each side has an armor protection layer. In addition, there are sealed doors at the openings of each lift on the flight deck to prevent the release of radiological, biological and chemical contamination.

3. Large control range and strong combat capability. The Dragon 59 class aircraft carrier can travel 650-700 nautical miles a day and night at a sustained speed of 30 knots. It can be far away from the base and quickly reach any sea area in the world to carry out combat missions. It can carry about 10,000 tons of aviation fuel, and if each aircraft sorties twice a day, it can ensure that 90 aircraft can fight continuously for 16 days. The ammunition load of the Dragon 59 class aircraft carrier is not less than 2500 tons. The number of carrier-based aircraft is 6 anti-submarine helicopters; There are 68 fixed-wing aircraft, 4 medium-sized early warning aircraft, 2 air refueling racks, and 10 unmanned aerial vehicles, of which the hangar can accommodate 70% of the fighters.

4. Basic data: standard/full load displacement 80,500/90,390 tons, length× width× draft 332.9×40.8×11.3 meters; cruising / maximum speed 30/33 knots; The flight deck has a total length of 332.9 meters, a width of 76.8 meters, an inclination angle of 237 degrees, a power plant of 4 gas turbines, × A4W/AIG marine reactors, and 4 × emergency generators, with a total power of 280,000 horsepower. 3,186 crews; Electromagnetic catapult: DC101A type 3 seats; Weapon system, 4 groups equipped with HQ16 ship self-defense missile weapon system are arranged on 4 broadside platforms on both sides of the flight deck, controlled by four of the four corners of the middle of the bridge and two front cover radars in the middle of the hull, and the other 4 broadside platforms are each equipped with 2 artillery guns with a range of 2500 meters, and the HQ artillery integrated air defense system with a missile range of 8000 meters, and the tail is equipped with 2 AK-1030 with a range of 2500 meters and a firing rate of 3000 rounds / min, and a naval artillery phalanx weapon system. One 10-pack rocket depth bomb launcher with a range of 12,000 meters is arranged on each side of the stern; The main search radar adopts the "Yuanwang" active phased array radar, and the backup radar is the top plate, which is installed at the top of the main mast. Underneath it is the antenna of the aircraft's tactical navigation command and communication system, and a short-range air/sea search radar is equipped at the front and rear ends of the bridge, which is the same as the radar on the main mast
