Chapter 51, Nimitz

"Drip, drip, drip~" Under the water, 10 submarines gathered in the Coral Sea sailed quietly, they were searching for Japanese submarines, but there was no harvest in the Coral Sea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Isn't the devil in the Coral Sea?"

"I don't know, I searched all the way, but I didn't find any trace of them."

"Could it be in some other seas?"

"Other seas?"

"I remember that next to the Coral Sea is Lord Howe Sea, and Brisbane is also in Lord Howe Sea."

"In that case, let's continue to search south.

The submarines were still searching for the Japanese fleet aimlessly, and the Japanese fleet didn't know where to hide, so they were easy to find.

In Dawang Village, the airport is empty, and all the planes are being transported to Guangzhou, ready to be disassembled and loaded on airships to be transported away, or transported to aircraft carriers, at present, the No. 2 aircraft carrier can barely fight, and the helicopter carrier is used to pull helicopters.

As for transport aircraft and bombers, the transfer of the B-45 is about 4000km, and from Guangzhou to about 7000km, it is not enough at all, but if you add auxiliary fuel tanks, you can make it to the Northern Territory. The Il-76 can have a range of 4,500km without auxiliary fuel tanks, which is already comparable to the B-45 bomber with auxiliary fuel tanks.

However, now Australia's Northern Territory is in the hands of the Japanese army, and it is not a matter of two times to recapture it, so I can't rush to come, so I will stop at Guangzhou Airport for the time being.

Recently, Lu Qiang has been thinking about whether to get Nimitz out and use it to transport planes, although it is a bit overkill, but it is convenient, the deck plus the hangar, you can stuff hundreds of Wuye, if you squeeze it again, it is not a problem to stuff in nearly two hundred, after these planes are transported to Australia, you can immediately participate in the war, no need to assemble.

After thinking about it, Lu Qiang still decided to get the legendary Nimitz out. But such a huge thing will definitely frighten people, but Lu Qiang doesn't care, let's transport the plane to Australia first, now the 10 divisions in Brisbane are being bombed by the Japanese air force, and the air force must be brought over.

On Hong Kong Island, an aircraft carrier catapult platform was built, which was used to test catapult aircraft, but the aircraft has not yet been built and is still under development, and the J-5 is used as a land aircraft. It is not suitable as a carrier-based aircraft, the take-off distance is too long, and the low-speed and low-altitude performance is not too good.

Based on the J-5, the shape of the newly developed carrier-based aircraft has changed a lot, after all, Lu Qiang came from later generations, and there are many models of carrier-based aircraft in his mind, and he personally prefers the double spray, but the double spray is too heavy and can only be used as a heavy carrier-based aircraft.

At present, there are two design schemes, single spray and double spray, some people like single spray, some people are more optimistic about double spray, simply, Lu Qiang separated them, set up two research teams, like the single spray on the study of single spray, optimistic about the double spray on the study of double spray.

Optimistic about the single spray, Lu Qiang also has a model in his head, that is, the F11F/F-11 Tiger, this jet aircraft that the US military equipped with ships in 52 years until it was replaced by the F-14 Panda, the model is still reliable. As for the double spray, there are many, and throughout the future, carrier-based aircraft are almost all double spray.

In terms of technical simplicity, the maintenance cost of single spray is simpler than double spray, but double spray is more safe, more high-loaded, more bomb load, more fuel load, larger range, and high salt and high humidity at sea, easy to damage the engine, double push bad one can also force landing, single spray will not work, so double spray at sea is better than single spray.

However, in terms of dog fighting, the single spray is a light fighter with better performance, and now there is no over-the-horizon, and the aircraft are all close-range dog fights. So choose both to develop, but the double push must be used on the aircraft carrier, and the single push is used on land, to see how the performance is, if it is better than the fifth master, then use it to replace the fifth master, if not, as a technical reserve, continue to develop better.

I'll talk about this later, and I haven't even figured out the design of the plane yet.

Because of the move, Lu Qiang had to keep going back and forth between Guangzhou and Dawang Village, so he went to Guangzhou once, Lu Qiang went to the sea, released Nimitz, took a cruise ship, came to the sea, and confirmed that there was no one within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, Lu Qiang took out the Nimitz aircraft carrier card, used it silently, and the card turned into stars, and then, a huge aircraft carrier suddenly appeared on the sea, different from airships, transport planes, all of which flew from the sky, this aircraft carrier completely appeared suddenly, like a trick, and scared Lu Qiang.

But soon he was relieved, the system is a comparison, there are all kinds of strange things, and he is not surprised.

"This is Nimitz!!" Lu Qiang looked at the huge aircraft carrier with emotion, such a huge thing would one day fall into his hands.

The Nimitz aircraft carrier has its own crew and air crew, and Lu Qiang does not need to train him, but the pilot or something has to be done by Lu Qiang himself, and the system is not a good person, so he will do everything well.

Lu Qiang brought the cruise ship closer to Nimitz, and then the entire cruise ship was shrouded in shadows by Nimitz.

"Good fellow, that's big." Lu Qiang looked at Nimitz and sighed again.

At this time, a rope ladder was suddenly thrown down from Nimitz, which made Lu Qiang slightly surprised, but he quickly reacted and climbed up along the rope ladder.

At a distance of more than ten meters, Lu Qiang used both hands and feet, climbed up, and when he was at the top, two people pulled him up on the side.

The first time he had such a close contact with an aircraft carrier, Lu Qiang stood on the aircraft carrier, stomped his feet vigorously, and felt that the soles of his feet were extremely steady, this was not a dream.

"Ah, the aircraft carrier!" Lu Qiang looked at the vast deck and sighed thoughtlessly. Compared with the British Invincible, Nimitz doesn't know how much bigger, first of all, one is a light aircraft carrier with a displacement of 20,000 tons, and the other is a heavy aircraft carrier with a displacement of 90,000 tons; One is conventionally powered, and the other is nuclear. So, the Invincible doesn't know how many streets it was dumped by Nimitz.

Nimitz's deck is 332 meters long, but now the deck is empty, but there are no planes, only four trailers with tow planes parked there, and nothing else.

Lu Qiang doesn't mind, he believes that soon, there will be a full of planes parked on it!

"Report to the commander, the captain of the USS Nimitz nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Wang Fucheng will report to you!" A man with the rank of rear admiral stood in front of Lu Qiang and saluted him.

"Uh-huh, excuse me!" Lu Qiang returned the salute and waved him not to be polite, but he complained in his heart, as a rear admiral, he actually took such a local name, or did the system give him such a name, is it considered a bad taste of the system? (To be continued.) )
