If it is said that the navy is in the limelight and the revival of the army is in sight, then it and the national air force will be in full swing. 【】

In fact, after the start of the third military reform, the Air Force was on a downward spiral.

Although at the end of the Chi years with the beginning of the years. Many people believe that the rapidly rising Celestial Force is unlikely to completely replace the Air Force as the most powerful strike force in the foreseeable future, but almost everyone believes that it is only a matter of time before the Celestial Force replaces the Air Force, and that in the foreseeable future, the Celestial Force will be able to do so at least in some cases. For example, it can replace the air force when striking high-value strategic targets that are protected by secrets. At the end of the era, with the acceleration of the space army exhibition, the status of the air force was challenged by Yin Jun.

As early as a few years after the Blade Era, the Air Force of the Republic began to adjust the structure of its forces.

In the Middle East war, the Republic Air Force did not perform most brilliantly not in tactical aviation or in strategic aviation, but in support aviation. It can even be said that the strategic aviation has only fulfilled its duty, while the tactical aviation has been abnormal, and only the support aviation is constantly wielding. To know. At that time, the Air Force's strategic transport aircraft group created a large-scale war of more than a month, sending a full eight fighters to the front line individually, defeating the United States, Turkey and Israel with superior forces, and laying the foundation for finally forcing the other side to sit down at the negotiating table.

The restructuring of the Air Force's forces became even more pronounced after the Middle East war.

From the strategic point of view, there is only one way out for the Air Force, that is, "Downward Merger In any case, the Air Force's strike capability is certainly not as good as that of the Space Army, and as long as the problem of firing costs is solved, the Space Force will be able to become a veritable main striking force, thus marginalizing the Air Force." "As a military force, if you want to reflect the value of existence, you can only make a fuss about firepower projection and force projection. Firepower projection is strike capability, while force projection is transport capability. Inferior to the Space Army in striking capabilities does not mean that there is no room for action in terms of transport capabilities. In fact, focusing on improving transport capabilities is the way forward for the Air Force. In other words, the purpose of the Air Force is not to suppress the Space Army, but to completely replace the Navy.

Imagine if the cost of the Air Force fell to the level of the cost of sea transportation, would the Navy still have the value of existing?

Theoretically speaking, the greatest value of the existence of the navy is to master the "sea supremacy" and pass the "sea supremacy." to enhance the strength of the country and serve the national interest. Strictly speaking, "sea supremacy" is most closely related to maritime transportation. In fact, even the exploitation of offshore resources, such as collecting manganese nodules from seabed deposits and opening offshore oil and gas fields, requires the extracted resources to be brought to land by sea. In this way, "sea dominance." The direct embodiment of shipping is shipping, and the benefits brought by it. All the wars in history involving sea supremacy are in fact wars between the protection of maritime transport and the destruction of maritime transport. As mentioned earlier, when human society no longer needs to transport goods by sea one day, even if the navy does not die, the value of existence will be greatly reduced.

On this basis, the direction of the Air Force's development is very clear.

After the cutting edge year, the Air Force took advantage of the great opportunity of the recovery of military spending to put forward two major projects, one is to jointly develop an air and space fighter with actual combat capability with the Space Force, and the other is to open a large tropospheric air combat and transportation platform with permanent endurance.

Needless to say, the former will definitely be taken seriously, but it is not the Air Force that plays the leading role, but the Space Army.

For the Air Force, the latter is the key to survival.

To know, for the sake of this project! The Air Force has been working hard for many years. Back in the early years of the force. That is, when the new aerodynamics based on electrical energy was in full swing, the Air Force invested a lot of money. Encourage relevant institutions in China to research new aviation motivations. The magnetic induction screw thruster used in the Tian 10,000 series of vertical take-off and landing transport planes and the series of low-altitude attack aircraft is a major research achievement. Relatively. More promising is a magnetically induction propulsion system with the help of the Earth's own magnetic field. Especially the energy system.

There is no doubt that this is also a larger scientific research project.

It wasn't until the end of the blade years that the magnetic induction propulsion system made progress and made it out of the laboratory. The new address of this site has been changed to: Talk about the fetus o waki, please read in vain!

In fact, the principle of the "magnetic induction propulsion system" is very simple, that is, the "magnetic field repulsion effect" of the conductor is used to suspend the conductor with an electric current in the air. Theoretically, as long as there is a fundamental magnetic field, and the current through is strong enough. can lift any object. In the atmosphere, the basic collision field is the Earth's own magnetic field. The key is in the current, and in the energy system needed to sustain such a high current. There are also two very important issues, namely the price of the conductor and the process difficulty of making the conductor into a strange type of wire coil. As for the other minor issues, the list goes on. For example, the high temperature problem caused by the low energy conversion efficiency is all the energy dissipated and eventually converted into internal energy, and the heat dissipation problem caused by the high temperature problem are all obstacles to the system.

It was not until the beginning of the century that the "magnetic induction propulsion system" gradually became practical.

After overcoming several key issues, the spread of the system was greatly accelerated.

At the old Riguchi River, the first propulsion system opened by the Physics Experiment Center lifted the thug car into the sky and suspended it for several minutes. In order to encourage innovation in scientific research institutions, the Air Force set up a pound at the end of that year. "Race against time." A symbolic prize of 10,000 yuan is awarded to the scientific team that lifts the heaviest weapon into the air and stays the longest. Of course, money is not the key, the key is the huge business plan behind it. You must know that if the "magnetic induction propulsion system" can be made practical, not to mention the military field, it can completely change the way of life and production of human society in the civilian field. From an economic point of view, the benefits brought by the "collision induction propulsion system" are definitely no less than the original composite battery and guide motor. In other words, the composite battery brings the car into the "electric age", while the "magnetic induction propulsion system" can bring the car into the "flight age".

With such a big stake, there is naturally fierce competition

Less than three months after the first practical test was completed at the Physics Experiment Center, the two records were broken eight times and eight times respectively in the following six months. By the end of the year, it was already possible to lift an object weighing an ugly kilogram into the air for minutes. It was also at this time that SAIC Motor Group decided to invest in Yiyao to mass-produce the first car using the "magnetic induction propulsion system" in Lishi, that is, the "maglev car". It is precisely in this way that the maglev car can be put on the market at the end of the year and become popular from the beginning of the period.

Although the purpose of the Air Force competition is for military purposes, the benefits of civilian use are very clear. That is, the cost of related equipment is greatly reduced. Not to mention, a successful car can produce hundreds of millions of units, and the resulting scale effect can reduce the price of mature equipment to a minimum, thereby reducing the cost of military popularization.

In fact, this is also the real purpose of the Air Force authorities.

If the cost is not brought down, the Air Force will not be able to convince the government to purchase large quantities of aircraft to replace ships.

Of course, compared to civilian equipment, the aircraft of the Air Force are much larger.

At the time of the 2nd year, the Air Force put forward a tactical target, that is, to increase the load capacity to the combat joint stew under the premise of ensuring permanent endurance. Moreover, the ratio of the load coefficient to the total weight shall not be lower than that of the maca, that is, the total mass of the system shall not be too warm. Actually, this catty. The most critical of the indicators is the requirement for the power system, that is, the magnetic induction propulsion system must be the main thruster. If there is no such index, the traditional power system, such as the magnetic induction screw propulsion system, is the main thruster, making full use of various advanced materials, coupled with reasonable design, it is fully capable of building a large air platform that meets the tactical indicators of the Air Force. It can also be seen from this requirement that the air platform of the concave stew class is by no means the ultimate goal of the Air Force. In other words, the Air Force just makes a sample first, and how much it wants to build, and whether to build a larger air platform, depends on the performance of the sample.

The sharp situation is that technology is advancing much faster than the Air Force's top brass had anticipated.

By the time the largest collision propulsion system had been able to lift heart-to-heart stewed objects. And continue to work out of hours. According to this exhibition, by the time of the year, the lifting capacity of the induction propulsion system will definitely be able to persuade the stew and continue to work longer than the time of the thug. In this way, as long as it is equipped with a guess propulsion system. It can make the air platform have permanent endurance.

It is precisely because of this "bright prospect and small encouragement" that the Air Force launched two sets of programs in the force and year. The first is to continue to complete the construction of the experimental platform proposed earlier, but to change it to a real experimental model, that is, to test various new technologies and equipment as an experimental platform. Second, according to the re-evaluated tactical standards, the first large-scale air platform with the ability to deploy and use in actual combat will be opened.

This new air platform has a very loud name: "Air Aircraft Carrier".

It's impossible to know who gave the project the name, but it's a very vivid name.

According to the tactical indicators of the Air Force, the load capacity of the large air platform is 10,000 tons, the load coefficient is spider, driven by two completely independent energy systems and completely independent propulsion systems, with complete permanent endurance, that is, it can complete all supply and maintenance operations in the air. Although in the entire index, there is no mention of the need to have the ability to support combat aircraft, but let it be said. The large aerial platform of the tun class supports combat aircraft, which is definitely a simple thing that designers will not bother much.

Of course, if large air platforms want to replace aircraft carriers, they will have to make greater efforts.

Among other things, if the susceptibility of collision-sensing propulsion systems to interference is not addressed, large air platforms will never be able to become real combat platforms, but at best support platforms.

Here's the problem, the Air Force wants a support platform, not a combat platform. The new address of this site has been changed to: Chat about the fetal o muscle mix, please read it!

You know, with a load capacity in the thug four times. If we take into account the permanent endurance and the tactics and strength of the combat units themselves, then the large air platform has more capacity than the strategic basket machine. According to the Air Force's estimates, combat units are to be delivered to any corner of the world within the time of delivery.

The civilian prospects of large airlift platforms are much brighter than for military use.

Because the power is supplied by controlled fusion reactors, the transportation cost of large aerial platforms has been reduced to the sea level, and even lower than that of sea transportation at the beginning of the century. corresponds to it. It is so powerful that the transportation efficiency can never be matched by sea transportation. Even though tall freighters have risen around the knots and are likely to replace other freighters in the future, they are still much slower than the large air freight platforms that fly around the sound. What's more, air transport is not limited by geographical factors, if the flight altitude is increased to more than the concave meter of the beater, it is not even affected by the climate, so in the absence of political factors. Large air freight platforms are able to fly along the shortest routes, significantly reducing transit times. Overall, large air freight platforms are twice as efficient as ocean freight. This means that carriers are able to perform the same tasks with less equipment, reducing maintenance and upkeep costs. And deliver goods faster to meet the customer's demand for time.

From this point of view, the Air Force's exhibition does have a bit of a "military-to-civilian" flavor.

In fact, the Air Force is not enthusiastic about the civilian sphere. To be precise, there is no need for the Air Force to meddle in the civilian market other than to earn additional fees by funding scientific research units to sell patents.

As far as the Air Force is concerned, the key is how to make good use of this cross-era product.

In the following year, the Shanghai Aircraft Company, commissioned by the Air Force, completed the design of a large air platform, and the Air Force also applied for construction costs that year.

Because the project is of great significance, Pei Chengyi still approved the construction application of the Air Force when the supporting magnetic induction thruster can only be successfully developed at the bottom of the knife, and in the fiscal year, the Air Force won the equipment of the thug era, the biggest problem of the large air platform is the construction cost.

Its tall and tall beaters kiss the estimated cost of 100 million yuan, and the actual cost is likely to double, not only past "Chongqing." Any kind of large warship other than the class. Even passed the Army's "Shadow Warrior" project. It can be said that if this is not the only large-scale equipment project promoted by the Air Force, let alone those delegates to the plenary congress, I am afraid that even Pei Chengyi will not strive for funding for it. In any case, at the time of the 24, the chief of the General Staff who took office was the commander of the Air Force, otherwise the Air Force would not have put forward the idea of building a large air platform at this time.

Of course, from the point of view of exhibition potential, the large aerial platform is absolutely immeasurable.

As far as Yuan Chenhao knows, at the beginning of the year, with a major breakthrough in the construction of magnetic induction thrusters with a thrust of up to a drop ton, Pei Chengyi had already approved in principle the construction of a second large air platform for the Air Force in that fiscal year, or to apply for a new fund for the Air Force. In other words, it is likely that large aerial platforms will move from exploratory construction to mass production within a few years. If this is the case, it is very likely that the strategic airlift capability of the Republican Air Force will far surpass that of the United States in the current year or so.

What's more, the Sky Force is also actively supporting large air platforms.

Interestingly, the reason why the Space Force supported the project was simple: the cost of launching a spacecraft four meters above the equator was half that of a spacecraft launched at sea level. If you can increase the shooting height to a frenzied meter, you can reduce the shooting cost by half. And so it goes. The cost of large-scale space launch will be reduced to an acceptable range, so that the space force's air and space combat forces will become the main striking force. In other words, large aerial platforms are in fact ideal transit points for connecting the ground with outer space.

Because the air and space strike is indeed very tempting, the Celestial Army will lend a helping hand to the Air Force in the Year of Lizhu. Become the second force to push large air platforms. The new address of this site has been changed to: Chat about the fetal o muscle mix, please read in vain!

Of course, the Celestial Forces have higher requirements for large air platforms.

According to the Sky Army's assumption, it is best to raise the flight altitude of a large aerial platform to four meters. Thus the pieces shoot adults down to one-tenth of sea level. More importantly, large aerial platforms must not only have the ability to support space launching, but also have the ability to recover spacecraft. That is, the ability to receive air-space fighters. Since it is a military platform, it must have the ability to make combat weapons reused, and it must also have the ability to support the operation of air and space fighters. In this way, the load capacity of large air platforms should be increased at least to the point of mouth, and the load factor should be more than gills. It's best to be able to. As for other aspects, it is necessary to fully consider the high-altitude flight

Title.

Of course, from the standpoint of the Celestial Army, large air platforms are certainly not the main project.

On the road to actual combat capability, what the space army needs most is an air and space fighter with actual combat value!
