For more than 10 years, the new DPRK Navy of the second plane did not build a single battleship for itself, and all the research and engineering personnel concentrated on one thing -- building an aircraft carrier.

It is not the jet fighter aircraft carriers that are so complicated that they are dead after the eighties of the 20th century in this world, but the horizontal propeller aircraft carriers of the World War II era. The route taken is not the same as in this world, not all of them are rebuilt from the base of battleships, but they are completely redesigned from the ground up.

Of course, they have all kinds of aircraft carrier data collected from this world as a reference, and they also have supercomputing power from this world to help with drawing calculations, ship type testing, segmentation design, production process decomposition design, and so on.

In order to cultivate the ship design ability of the B plane, the whole work did not let Liu Fatzi and others in this world interfere, and completely relied on Jiao Hai and his gang to start from scratch, pick out subsystems one by one, and finally get the whole design.

In the whole process of design and research work, a whole generation of ship design professionals has been trained, and they have integrated industrial production capacity from scratch, learning and practicing at the same time, and slowly and solidly step by step. With the support of almost unlimited financial allocations, and with the assistance of supercomputing centers, the conditions are even better than those of the Chinese navy 2,000 years ago.

Ten years of sharpening a sword is really not a waste of fame.

After thoroughly understanding the design concept of the world's naval power, and understanding all aspects of the aircraft carrier's tactics and strategies, in the past three years, it has begun to move from the final lofting model to the formal construction.

In fact, as far as the level of China's industry in the second plane is concerned, all the industrial capacity and basic equipment and parts production for the construction of aircraft carriers are ready-made. Able to build 40,000-ton battleships on their own. Everything an aircraft carrier needs is available.

Something new. It is also equipped only with carrier-based aircraft. But. It was also a decade-long research project, and with the support of the technical information provided by the world, they crossed the difficult stage of the first thirty years from the beginning to the middle of World War II.

The training of pilots is quite troublesome, and they must be practiced continuously for many years, from the land simulation platform to the sea ship modification platform, and test take-off and landing little by little. Ultimately. The formation of the combat capability of the whole ship.

The most troublesome thing is the management and command of aircraft carriers.

An aircraft carrier is a small moving town, and at the same time, it is also a large factory that requires the close cooperation of thousands of people.

In this world, a considerable number of military fans only know how to pay attention to the displacement, ejection system, power, speed, etc. of the aircraft carrier, and compare the data one by one, but they do not know the real key, but the overall management and operation.

in this regard. Due to its congenital defects, the Chinese Navy in this world did not have experience in the use and command of large ships until the 90s. Therefore, even if a complete set of Varyag aircraft carrier materials is obtained, and the half-crippled hull is obtained, it will take more than ten years from thorough understanding to successful refit, and then to the formation of combat effectiveness.

Many people only know that if you look at the superficial data of the Western powers, such as the United Kingdom and the United States during World War II, they built aircraft carriers like dumplings, and they could be put into battle in ten months, and so on. But I don't want to think that in addition to the US Navy, the traditional naval powers in Europe also have at least one or two hundred years of experience in naval construction and use.

From the era of sail warships, to the era of neat warships, and then to the era of dreadnoughts, hundreds of years of experience in maritime operations, from more than 100 people to thousands of crew management and command experience, are the solid foundation for their ability to finally complete the command and combat of aircraft carriers.

The Chinese Navy in this world, from the Beiyang period, was basically cut off to the difficult start after the 80s of New China, and there are too many homework left in between. If you want to learn from scratch, the level of World War II is useless, and during the Cold War, people didn't give it to you, so you could only try to get information and steal the teacher, while rubbing and summarizing it yourself.

And the navy is a very expensive service, don't play the navy if you don't have money, this is a hard indicator.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the Chinese Navy has developed greatly and the military expenditure has been sufficient, so it has begun to launch all kinds of animals into the water. Full of calculations, it will be more than ten years.

Therefore, the century-old navy is really not something that can be crossed casually.

The new navy of the second plane started in the 70s of the last century, and by the end of the first decade of the 20th century, it had a total of nearly 40 years of ups and downs. Although the early progress has been slow, the foundation has been solid. The qualities they showed in the First Sino-Japanese War were certainly qualified, if not comparable to those of the British and French powers.

In the past ten years, the older generation of the navy and the new generation of young people have worked together to carefully manage the blue wisps of the road, and finally bear fruitful results today.

Against this background, the first "Kunpeng-class" aircraft carrier was finally born.

Under the dictatorship of the head of state, the "Kunpeng-class" aircraft carrier was designed and built as soon as it came up. It has a length of 258.1 meters (waterline length), 267.4 meters (flight deck length), a width of 33.2 meters, a draft of 7.63 meters, and a standard displacement of 37,924 tons and a full load displacement of 43,200 tons. It adopts eight heavy oil boilers and four gear-driven steam turbines, with a total power of 144,000 shaft horsepower. Maximum speed: 33.45 knots, endurance: 15000 nautical miles / 15 knots.

The hull steel is made of high-strength special steel for ships researched and produced by the B plane, and the related technology comes from the world, which is equivalent to the level of Western powers in the early days of the Cold War, and the performance index is second only to the HY-80 series modulated steel of the United States.

From the perspective of design concept, the aircraft carrier has departed from the battleship protection concept that still existed during World War II, and directly started from the post-war Western aircraft carrier design and construction foundation.

Without relevant experience, the whole process is bound to stumble and be extremely difficult, but the Grand Führer is not in a hurry. He knows very well that China still has a long way to go, but the pace of expansion in its periphery can be slowed down. Even if there is a war pressing, with the current strength of the Chinese navy, it is enough to deal with it.

As long as you don't take the initiative to open the sea to attack, it's more than enough to let go. Its confidence also comes from its huge advantages in aircraft.

Since 1900, China has quietly established an air force in the second plane. The development of fighter aircraft for the Army and Hainan Airlines was carried out simultaneously. It adopts a multi-purpose strategy. That is, to develop a basic type. On this basis, modifications were carried out for land and air battles, respectively.

In this way, it is possible to avoid the dispersion of the already small number of researchers, and to concentrate the relevant forces of the whole country to tackle key problems.

In fact, this is still a process of learning and practicing at the same time.

Without the accumulation of aerospace technology that has developed for a hundred years in this world, and without the leadership of Qian Xuesen and other scientific and technological giants in the world as soon as the country was founded, the research of the new dynasty of the second plane is much more difficult.

If nothing else, all researchers need to learn all kinds of aviation-related knowledge from the 19th century to the mid-to-late 20th century. Without a living professor, they can only learn on their own through video footage and various lesson plans.

Fortunately, there are a variety of publicly available paper journals to refer to. After stumbling for more than ten years, I finally have some solid foundation.

There has never been a shortage of geniuses in China, and with a population base of up to four or five billion, there is always a sufficient number of genius brains. As long as they are provided with the right conditions, amazing achievements can be created.

The point is, with the right outcomes in the world to look at, they can avoid wasting too much time on the wrong path. Every scientific and technological achievement in the world means thousands of wrong experiments and countless wrong products. By avoiding these wastes of time, cost, resources, and energy, the efficiency of the scientific research process in the B plane can be imagined.

Yang Hao did not have the strength to sell advanced equipment to the second plane. However, since the first five-year plan, we have steadily promoted the learning and research and development of all scientific research fields.

The beginning of the world of China. In terms of scientific research, they are almost poor and white. Later, the Soviet Union assisted the construction of the industrial system in an all-round way, but most of them were carried out without knowing the reason for it. When they have exhausted the potential of those equipment and materials, they find it extremely difficult to go further.

Basic materials science, various power fields, including internal combustion engines, motors, aerospace fields, all of which are called the industrial heart, are all shortcomings that cannot be made up in a short time.

Especially in the field of materials science, the materials accumulated by Westerners in one or two hundred years will not be open to you at all, and you can't buy them with money. Even, people don't tell you how the experiment is done, just knowing the principle, you can't even get a proper laboratory and R&D process, let alone the product.

There is no shortcut in this regard, and we can only hope that the economic conditions are enough, and then make up the class.

As a result, the Chinese in the 21st century were shocked to find that suddenly China's scientific and technological forces were blowing out, and the number of papers was constantly increasing, as if they appeared overnight. In fact, it was only around the second decade that the economy developed, the funds were sufficient, all kinds of laboratories were established, and the scientific research army had work to do, so that the previous theoretical things could be put into practice.

But even so, if China wants to make up for its shortcomings in materials and power, it will still take at least one or two decades to force into the developed countries of the West. Beyond whatever, don't think so much just yet. People are not stagnant, the more they go to the high-tech field, the more difficult it is to force in. Moreover, there are only two countries in the world - China and foreign countries, and the result that the Chinese people want is to surpass foreign countries in terms of thousands of categories and tens of millions of products.

Even if Chinese have lice on their bodies, they must have double eyelids, which are more beautiful than foreigners.

Therefore, for Chinese researchers in this world, it is not a matter of a lifetime to transcend these two words.

The conditions in China on the second plane are much better. From the very beginning, they have at least the laboratory conditions of the 80s of the 20th century, and they have a complete set of research systems for learning and reference, and they will not go down the wrong path. There are near-complete successful products to refer to, and there is no need for thousands of trial and error. Their research conditions far surpassed those of China in the 80s.

Based on this, we conduct research on various basic materials, starting with an apprenticeship, and then accumulating little by little, and enriching the database with some of the results in exchange for the information that Westerners have already obtained. In just a few years, it has a foundation that is on par with the West, but on the way forward, it is like a plane and a walk, and those who are speeding should not be abandoned.

In addition, the Great Führer tried his best to expand his territory, including the land rich in various mineral raw materials into the target to be conquered. It is expected that in the near future, China will become another country in the second plane that may be supported by global resources.

To engage in scientific research, the basic conditions are very important. Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries in the world are all supported by resources similar to those from all over the world. This is true of the United Kingdom, which has colonies all over the world, the United States, which has military bases everywhere, and the Soviet Union, where the red frenzy has swept most of the world.

In contrast, China's hard-working country is locked in place and cannot move, and the minerals on its own territory are barren and difficult to mine, and it is even more difficult to smelt, and it is particularly difficult to get some high-quality steel. If it weren't for the fact that rare earth materials could be used as a panacea, it would be difficult to manufacture qualified products in accordance with Western technical indicators.

This is especially evident in the case of engines.

In the final analysis, engaging in scientific research requires accumulation, and it is a work that requires unremitting investment.

The aircraft carrier of the new dynasty in the second plane, every part and every screw is made by itself, the radar and computer are also assembled by themselves, and the oldest large-scale integrated circuit chip comes from a production line that does not know how many hands, but to go one step further, they can study and manufacture lithography machines and the like, and some of them are tossed. It is conservatively estimated that within 20 years, if you can eat the information thoroughly, even if it is high-speed.

Possessing an aircraft carrier means an all-round transcendence in the field of naval construction, and at the same time, it is also a major change in the operational thinking of the navy.

A generation of naval officers who have just gotten acquainted with battleships is very unfamiliar with this, but it is an inevitable step. Because at the same time, Britain and the United States and other countries have begun to test the landing and take-off of aircraft, and try to carry very primitive aircraft on battleships. With the catalyst of a single war, the Great Powers could quickly make a major breakthrough in this area.

The appearance of specialized aircraft carriers was only a matter of a few years later. China seems to be much ahead, but in fact, it is because the foundation is too weak, and it has to fly first.

In any case, in 1910, the appearance of two aircraft carriers with a full row of up to 43,000 tons was a very surprising thing. All countries are still desperately trying to get the battleship to this tonnage, and it will be very sad to find out that it is outdated.

Yang Hao was also unwilling to let them return to the right path so quickly, and he had to mislead the powers to take more time on the black road of battleships, and the farther they went, the better.

In October 1910, two aircraft carriers loaded with warplanes quietly sailed into the Pacific Ocean, heralding the dawn of a new era for the entire B-plane world. It's just that when exactly it will come into play, no one knows.

At the Wake Island Air Base, patrol planes are constantly taking off to search and alert the surrounding area within a radius of 500 kilometers to ensure that the aircraft carrier formation is docked without fail.

More than 2,000 nautical miles away, on the Hawaiian Islands, a group of restless guys are preparing to make big news, and an unprecedented atmosphere of tension hangs over the sky over this strategic center of the Pacific. (To be continued.) )
