"Tell me, how about this one?" Marshal Li Han looked at Zhang Cheng and asked softly.

The Navy, which has always paid little attention to aviation technology, is finally feeling the great threat posed by the new aviation technology. If what Zhang Cheng said is true, then aviation armor-piercing shells and aviation torpedoes will bring revolutionary subversion to the navy.

"The engine used in this torpedo machine is the same as the previous two, because this is the best aero engine that can be found now." Zhang Cheng said with a smile, "Because it has to carry a heavy aviation torpedo, this plane is very heavy, and it is estimated that it will not be able to take off on the Qinghai Lake." ”

"And what else is this plane for?" The representative of Hans immediately lit up his eyes and hurriedly said, "What kind of carrier-based aircraft is it called if you can't board an aircraft carrier?" ”

The representative of Hans Company understood that judging from the performance of these aircraft designed by Zhang Cheng, there was no hope of competing with him. Now that Zhang Cheng has a plane that cannot be boarded, it may be the last chance for Hans.

Marshal Li Han glanced at the representative of Hans Company coldly, pursed his lips and did not speak, but turned his gaze to Zhang Cheng again. Marshal Li Han believed that Zhang Cheng was not a person with no purpose, and since he took the initiative to say so, he must have already found a solution.

Sure enough, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "I have a new technology. I designed a hydraulic catapult for aircraft carriers. This auxiliary catapult device allows a fully loaded and heavier aircraft to take off smoothly on an aircraft carrier. Heavier and larger aircraft mean more fuel load, more bomb load, and stronger bulletproof armor under the same conditions. These performance advantages are of great significance in real combat. ”

"You're such a genius!" Marshal Li Han nodded vigorously, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Raised his hand and patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder, squinted his eyes and said, "I want to award you a medal!" ”

The surrounding naval high-ranking people looked at Zhang Cheng with complicated eyes. They knew very well that Marshal Li Han was usually a serious soldier who did not smile. Gestures such as patting on the shoulder to show closeness are basically impossible for him to appear.

As for whether Zhang Cheng is bragging, these things he said can't be taken out at all, and it is impossible to do them.

What is this place? Who are some of them here? There is a heavy price to pay for bragging on such occasions! Zhang Cheng doesn't look like this kind of fool with no vision.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Zhang Cheng smiled and began to introduce the performance of this torpedo machine: "The length of the torpedo machine is 9.3 meters, the wingspan is 11.3 meters, the height is 3.7 meters, and the maximum take-off weight is 5.5 tons. The maximum flight speed is close to 380 km. The maximum flight altitude is 8000 meters. When carrying an 800-kilogram aviation torpedo, the maximum combat radius is more than 300 nautical miles. There were two collatorial machine guns on the wings and a 12.7 mm self-defense machine gun in the rear of the rear cockpit. If the torpedo is not attached to the auxiliary fuel tank, it can be used as a long-range reconnaissance aircraft, with a maximum reconnaissance radius of nearly 400 nautical miles. ”

Zhang Cheng paused slightly, and then said, "This plane is heavy and sturdy. The ultra-low altitude flight performance is excellent, and the heavy fuselage can improve the stability of the flight, so that the aircraft can fly more smoothly on the rough sea. This facilitated the throwing of torpedoes by torpedo machine formations. These three aircraft use new technologies such as full-motion flaps, electric auxiliary control, high-strength aluminum alloy, new enclosed cockpit, retractable landing gear, short-wavelength wave airborne radio, etc. A smile flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes, "The cost is not low." ”

"Hahaha~~~" Marshal Li Han raised his head and laughed, squinting at Zhang Cheng with a smile, "As long as your aircraft performance is good enough, the navy has money!" ”

Marshal Li Han's words, the representatives of other arms companies on the side were all hot, and they were eager to go back and redesign the brand-new aircraft now to compete with Zhang Cheng. It's a pity that everyone knows that this opportunity has been missed. Once the Navy has selected an armament, it is impossible to easily re-equip it with a new type of aircraft without the development of breakthrough technology.

"Tell me about yours too." Marshal Li Han glanced at Lieutenant General Liu Bin, who was silent, and said with an indifferent expression.

What Vice Admiral Liu Bin did is not a secret in the navy at all. If Zhang Cheng hadn't been born, then this would have been the case. But now that he has a better choice, Marshal Li Han naturally doesn't need to save face for him.

Lieutenant General Liu Bin's face turned red, and he turned his head sideways to look at the representative of Hans Company on the side. The representative shook his head with an ugly look.

What kind of performance is in your hands, you must know best. After listening to Zhang Cheng's introduction, the representative of Hans Company had already issued a death notice for his company's products in his heart. The gap is too big, and it is only a shame to say it. In this case, it doesn't make sense to exaggerate performance data. These things are to be tested by the navy!

"How is your company's production capacity?" Marshal Li Han motioned for Zhang Cheng to follow him, turned around and walked in the direction of the convoy.

"I own a large aircraft factory." Zhang Cheng's eyes were full of smiles, and he replied softly, "As long as the navy is not in wartime mode, it will definitely be able to meet the needs of the navy." ”

"Okay." Marshal Li Han nodded with satisfaction, and said softly as he walked to his car, "I can't wait to see the actual effect." ”

The army has always been resolute in doing things. Especially when the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy personally pushes something to happen. Originally, it was just a performance demonstration, but in the blink of an eye, it became a live-fire target.

When Vice Admiral Yunmo reported to Marshal Li Han that he had ordered the Lushun base to send a target ship, Marshal Li Han immediately said, "Americans can use an old dreadnought to do a live-fire test, are we more stingy and poorer than the Americans?" ”

Vice Admiral Yunmo, who understood it, immediately replaced the target ship with an old dreadnought that had been transformed into a training ship, and soon sailed into the Bohai Sea.

Two days later, a large group of people boarded the heavy cruiser Hanzhong and went to a test area in the middle of the Bohai Sea under naval siege, ready to test the power of the new aircraft with their own eyes.

"How? It's okay, right? Vice Admiral Yunmo came to Zhang Cheng, who was standing next to the side of the ship on the back deck and was smoking, took the cigarette handed over by Zhang Cheng, and asked softly.

"You'll soon be able to see it for yourself." Zhang Cheng smiled, spit out the smoke ring, and answered softly.

"How did your kid's head grow?" Vice Admiral Yunmo's eyes were full of curiosity, "So many advanced technologies and epoch-making tactics can be thought of, and they are all in the navy and army." You kid is a natural soldier. ”

"Huh." Zhang Cheng shook his head and chuckled, sighed lightly, then turned his eyes to the rough sea, and whispered to himself, "Actually, I really want to go to an era of abundance and security. Live a good life of eating and sleeping all day long, and waking up to eat. It's a pity that I came here, so I can only work hard. ”

"Say what?" Lieutenant General Yunmo asked with a puzzled expression.

"Everyone." At this time, the captain of the Hanzhong broadcast his voice throughout the battleship through the radio, "The preparations are over, please get ready, the live-fire drill is about to begin." ”

Zhang Cheng smiled and walked with Vice Admiral Yunmo to the viewing platform on the foredeck. Dozens of high-ranking military personnel and some important people from all walks of life have already taken their places and are ready to watch this important live-fire drill on the spot.

The test pilots recruited by Zhang Cheng are all veterans who have retired from the army, and they all have a lot of experience in piloting.

Although they used to fly biplanes, after nearly two months of practice, they quickly mastered the skills of operating the new aircraft.

In fact, the operation of the aircraft with a piston engine is not difficult. The training of science college students can go to the sky for a month or two, not to mention these experienced old birds to shoot targets. But if you change to a jet plane, you will be foolish, and you can't practice it in such a short time.

Through radio contact, it was learned that 12 new fighters were about to arrive at the scene after a period of flight after taking off from Qinhuang Island. A few nautical miles to the left of the Hanzhong's side of the ship, an old dreadnought was quietly moored there. All the people on board had already been evacuated to a nearby destroyer. At this moment, the dreadnought is about to witness the dawn of a new era.

"Twenty years ago, we started the era of dreadnoughts. At the time, they were complacent about having a new weapon that could sweep away all enemies. But I didn't expect that with the proximity of the scientific and technological and industrial strength of various countries, this new weapon that pulls everyone back to the same starting line will do more harm than good to us. Marshal Li Han said softly: "The Ming Navy was a large number at that time, and the former dreadnoughts, which cost a lot of money, were all swept into the ashes of history as garbage. The countries of the world are building dreadnoughts on a large scale. If it weren't for the profound heritage of the Ming Dynasty, and the countries did not work together, there would be all kinds of dirt in private. Maybe the war has already broken out. ”

"Yes." Zhang Cheng, who was standing next to Marshal Li Han, didn't understand what His Excellency the Marshal meant by this, so he had to nod in response.

"Twenty years have passed, and the development of science and technology has become more rapid. This time it was the Americans who ushered in a new era of aviation, and their new planes had already sunk old dreadnoughts during live-fire exercises. Now it's our turn to follow in the footsteps of others. Marshal Li Han looked sideways at Zhang Cheng, who was straight, with a smile on his face, "Fortunately, there are talented young people like you in Daming." This allows us to catch up with our opponents in the shortest possible time, without panicking to the point of being at a loss. You are a man of great merit. ”

"These are the things I should do." Zhang Cheng lowered his eyelids and replied softly.

Marshal Li Han smiled noncommittally and said softly, "Let's take a look at the actual power first." ”

As soon as Marshal Li Han's words fell, a huge roar of the engine could be heard in the sky above the clouds in the distance. Looking up, a dozen small black dots pulled out a long line and whistled from behind the clouds!
