Chapter 1628: Radar Weight Reduction

To a certain extent, the war between China and the United States is probably more tragic than the war between the two major European blocs, the two countries are very similar, China is based on the allies, just like the United States is based on the Entente, they all support all the logistical needs of the two blocs, the United States has done business all over the Entente, and China is the same, without the United States, the Entente will not be able to play at all, and the same is true for the Allied Powers.

Although the two countries do not have a border, they will not fight a large-scale land war, but the naval war is more cruel, under the premise that China and the United States are both manufacturing powers, a million, or even four or five million fleets, a failure, completely thrown into the sea, is not impossible.

Compared with the narrow North Sea and the English Channel, the Pacific Ocean is a real battlefield, as long as China and the United States carry out a naval battle, it is almost inevitable that it will be used as a battlefield in the Pacific Ocean, because of the early development of aircraft, occupy an advantage, and the islands in the entire southwest Pacific are built, it should not be said that after almost 3 percent of the construction, the entire southwest Pacific will become impregnable, even if it is China, with a strong aircraft carrier force, it is difficult to uproot them one by one.

With such a strong defense line, there is no replication, and in the whole world, whether it is this time and space, or the future time and space, only China in this time and space has such manpower and material resources to be able to build in an all-round way on the islands of the southwest Pacific, you must know that there are at least 1,000 runways, hundreds of airports of various kinds, and even the location of temporary airports has been reserved.

During World War II, at the peak of the US-Japan war for islands, the really fully developed islands, that is, more than a dozen, the United States did not even build Guam at that time, the entire support was the Hawaiian Islands, the focus of the contention was in the Central Pacific, and this cost a lot of energy from both the United States and Japan, in the early stage, the competition for one or two islands decided the course of strategy, the Battle of Midway, if the Japanese won, Japan could directly threaten Hawaii, as long as Hawaii was taken, even if the American industrial power exploded, The war in the Pacific would drag on for at least two or three years, and even longer once Japan integrated the resources of Southeast Asia and China.

However, China, not only can use the national strength, far above the United States and Japan in World War II, the productivity brought by various advanced machinery, is also amazing, just like China in the 21st century, the establishment of Sansha City, the development of islands and reefs, not to say that the 21st century has money, can be built at will, at any time to build islands and reefs is a very difficult thing, the reason why China does that on the one hand is for strategic reasons, but on the other hand, the reason is very simple, a special for the seabed soil to absorb the ship caused, the cost of this ship is very high, I heard that the cost of a ship is billions, or even tens of billions, but once it is built, it is much easier to build an island, and there is no need to transport soil from the distant mainland, but only to choose a suitable place around the island to dig, and only the cost of the ship and energy are consumed, so the cost is greatly reduced.

China in this time and space can't build that ship for the time being, even in the future, after the 21st century, in the whole world, there are only a few countries that can build such a ship, and the vast Pacific Ocean does not need to build a large number of islands.

China is currently building a large number of strategic fortresses in two super A-class islands, Guam and Hawaii, which can station 2,000 aircraft, and the limit can even reach 3,500, such a fortress, with a large number of naval guns and land forces, is almost impregnable, the Japanese army in World War II attacked Pearl Harbor of the United States, and after killing almost all the American planes and warships, there is no way to completely destroy itIn less than 3 days, part of the runway has been restored, and the planes transferred from mainland China have been deployed to Pearl Harbor, otherwise Pearl Harbor would have been Japanese.

In addition to 2 super A-class, there are 24 A-class, 60 B-class, A-class is to accommodate more than 800 aircraft, B-class is 300, even if it is the lowest B-class, it is at least equivalent to the number of aircraft owned by 2 fleet aircraft carriers, land-based aircraft are more than a grade more than sea-based in terms of combat effectiveness and strength, after all, the runway of an aircraft carrier can only be a few hundred meters, and on the island, even if it is a B-class island, it can have a standard runway of at least 500 meters, and it can take off medium-sized aircraft, Both the loading capacity and the take-off weight are much higher than the carrier-based type.

The carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier can follow the aircraft carrier, increasing the maneuverability and strike range, but it has to sacrifice performance, which is also a helpless thing, even in later generations, there is no way to make the carrier-based aircraft have the power of land-based aircraft with the same configuration, let alone this era.

As far as the entire southwest Pacific Ocean is concerned, not to mention some of the areas below the B level, but simply leveled, in the future, field airfields with 80-100 aircraft can be formed with equipment, but on the western Pacific side, in the extreme state, 15,000 aircraft can be deployed, and just this point, it is impossible for any sea force to break through this defense.

At the beginning, the Americans will definitely start from the southwest Pacific Ocean, where there are many islands, and they can also attack Australia and open up a second battlefield, but once they encounter a major obstacle here, they will definitely start from another way, the Central and North Pacific, where is the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean, not only has the most trenches in the Pacific Ocean, but also has few islands.

The scarcity of islands, no supplies and nodes, is the biggest drawback of the US military to attack China, but because of the change of aircraft, it has become the only choice for the US military, the entire central and northern part of the Pacific Ocean, there are too few islands, and there are no relatively large islands, avoiding Hawaii and the Aleutian Islands, at least a few roads can be attacked by the US military, in that case, the aircraft carrier will definitely fight out of the land-based range.

Although with strategic bombers, you can have a combat radius of 5500 km, between Aleutian and Hawaii, There are no more than 11,000, theoretically, strategic bombers with Hawaii as the core, can cover a considerable area of the entire Pacific Ocean, and can even cover the west coast of the United States, but this combat radius only represents flying over, specific operations and searches, can not be used to fly over, must be a period of time and hovering and fighting, in most cases, the real absolute control of the area is only in 50%, some more extreme environments, only in 4 percent, this is the real threat, the scope of prohibiting traffic.

The sea is vast, there is no accurate intelligence, you can't scatter all the strategic bombers to find it, the strategic bomber's protection ability is strong, this protection ability is built on the dense group of aircraft, with the formation of crazy firepower in the group, shoot down all the ******** who dare to challenge, but a single one does not have such great power, multiple fighters besieged, it is enough to kill him without sacrificing themselves.

If there is a fleet scattered in millions of square kilometers of sea, it is too difficult to find it, unless it is a satellite, relying only on airplanes and the naked eye, and at most using some optical tools. Whether it is the need for aircraft carriers in the future or the Pacific showdown between China and the United States in the future, radar is necessary, which is also the fundamental reason why the investment in air-based radar is much higher than that of land-based and sea-based, and Yang Yuanzhao still does not hesitate to invest.

Using the combination of Doppler and single pulse, the radar is a new system, there are many aspects that can reduce weight, everything is carried out quickly at the beginning, the shell of the radar is reduced at the beginning, for the sake of the solid relationship, the shell of the radar is built with steel, the protection is strong, but the main role of the radar is not to protect, he starts from the production, it is produced for the performance of combat missions, the main role is to detect, not to defend, even if it is equipped with a steel shell, It doesn't need to provide much defense, so replacing the metal of the shell with lightweight plastic reduces the weight a lot, and the specific gravity of plastic material is much smaller than that of steel.

It's just that similar tricky things, can't do more, even if it's radar, it also needs to have performance, strength, some places metal can't all be changed to plastic, which needs to do a little bit of experiments, in the laboratory, relatively light materials are specially prepared, some are suitable for integration into the radar, but more are not suitable, specific fit is not suitable, it depends on the specific experimental results,

I have to say that the more advanced things are, the more expensive they are, because experiments, there will inevitably be consumption, especially when using inappropriate materials, radar is a delicate thing, and many things in semiconductors are almost like this.

An inappropriate experiment, it is possible to make a normal use, the radar malfunction, from the experiment to the present, has been broken, has more than 30 sets, the break here, is completely broken, may most of the parts can not be used of the kind, according to the cost of each radar about 3 million, hundreds of millions of funds are gone, not to mention the personnel and conventional consumption in the middle, even some researchers with a big heart, are a little frightened, but Yang Yuanzhao did not hesitate, the radar made two or three at a time, one was damaged, and the other was on top, delaying the time of the institute, and 10 planes were not enough, and there were more.

When the experimenters were a little unconfident, Yang Yuanzhao has always supported this project, and even when there are some problems with funds, let the foundation access, because this project is too critical, if Yang Yuanzhao wants to ensure that the navy is foolproof and that the war does not involve the territorial scope of his country, he must get this radar, which is a strategic weapon that changes everything.
