Chapter 1040: Aircraft Carrier (4)
Regarding the conversation between Yan Shao and Fumiko, although some people in the building heard it, they didn't pay much attention to it. Some even looked at the pair in front of them with a smile, after all, Fumiko's existence is not a secret, and many people know Fumiko, Yan Shao's adopted daughter.
Of course, there are also some people who look at Yan Shao and Fumiko with strange expressions, after all, Fumiko's background is also clear to them. Fumiko's biological father, who is now said to be in Japan, is gritting his teeth at Yan Shao every day.
Now that Yan Shao and Fumiko have such a good relationship, it seems a little strange to others.
However, Yan Shao didn't care about the gazes of others, and just walked towards a room in the building with Fumiko. After walking a long way, until the depths of the room, Yan Shao's two bodyguards pushed the door open, and then Yan Shao and the others walked in, and soon, Yan Shao and Fumiko and the others saw a huge thing in front of them.
A huge metal model, to be exact.
A metal model of a ship.
The reason for emphasizing the enormity is that this model is indeed very huge.
If the length of this room is about 20 meters, then the metal model in front of Yan Shao and the others is at least about 10 meters long.
On the metal model, it is painted with navy livery, which makes people feel that this is the ship equipped by the navyββββββ if not relatively small.
I have to say that a huge ship model of about ten meters suddenly appeared in front of me, which is definitely a very shocking scene. At least Fumiko, who was following Yan Shao, and several bodyguards next to him already looked shocked.
"Uncle, what is this!"
I looked at the model in front of me. Fumiko asked Yan Shao with some curiosity.
Before Yan Shao could answer Fumiko's question, someone on the side had already interjected.
"Miss. This is the [Kunlun] aircraft carrier currently under construction at the Dalian Shipyard, and the one in front of you is a metal model of the aircraft carrier. It's what the aircraft carrier looks like after it is completed and put into service..."
The one who spoke was a Ministry of Defense official who had followed Yan Shao all the way over.
Although aircraft carriers are a matter for the Navy, the Navy is also under the Ministry of Defense after allββββββ although the Ministry of Defense at this time actually has no rights at all.
In any case, this matter still has to be known to the Ministry of Defense after all, so it is not surprising that there will be people in the Ministry of Defense who will know about it, and at the same time there is such a model.
In fact, Yan Shao happened to be a little free today, and Fumiko happened to not go to school, so after thinking about it, Yan Shao decided to take Fumiko over to see the aircraft carrier model.
I have to say. If Yan Shao's character is in the next generation, it is definitely the kind of orphan life.
After all, men who are more romantic in later generations will never take women to see any metal models, and they are also military. After all, no matter what era it is, few women will like military things, and many people call these things weapons of killing, and at the same time stand on the moral high ground to accuse those who like these military weapons as war maniacs and a group of cruel guys.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
I have to say that in the later generations, there are actually many such very virgin guys. Always like to stand on the moral high ground and talk about others. But what kind of people are they in private?
And liking military is tantamount to a war maniac? I'm afraid not necessarily.
It is precisely because of the understanding of military affairs and the destructive power of these weapons that many people who like military affairs will be afraid of war, and they will definitely not like such a thing. After all, they know exactly how powerful these weapons are. Be more aware of the power these weapons can cause.
After all, they know too well the devastation of warββββββ if it happens in someone else's house, of course. Then there is no problem.
Not at all, to be exact.
The reason is also very simple. Anyway, it's not that your own home is damaged, even if you beat it hard, what can you do?
Yan Shao didn't cross over. It's a very standard military enthusiast.
It is precisely because he knows the damage that war may bring, so Yan Shao has never liked war, and he enjoys the kind of peace in later generationsββββββ maybe China at that time was not a perfect country in many places, but you can't help but admit that at least China at that time did not let us feel the fear of war.
We are unfamiliar with war, and it is precisely because of this that when wars break out in other countries, many Chinese people, including Yan Shao, usually have an attitude of watching the excitement.
Even if something special happens, the attitude of the Chinese people is usually onlookers.
It's like a police arrest of a suspect that happened before Yan Shao crossed over, and the first thing the people around did at that time was not to avoid it, but to watch the excitement.
Again, there used to be a joke that said. If there is a shootout in the United States, the Americans will definitely hide well, and the Chinese will watch from the sidelines.
It's not that the Chinese people are really lively to that point, it's just that the Chinese people have never understood the threat of firearms, so many times the freshness overcomes the fear of this kind of thing, and the reason is as simple as that...
After Yan Shao came to this world, the reason why he frequently made China participate in so many wars was not because Yan Shao did not understand the cruelty of war.
It's because Yan Shao knows that if he doesn't lead the people to fight now, then the country will need to pay far more blood and tears in the future than it does now.
In this case, it is better to have a long pain than a short pain, and the pain of one generation is exchanged for a long-term peace for future generations.
In this way, after the sacrifice is compressed into one generation, at least the future of China will be at peace.
No, it's not just peace...
There is also a qiΔ, territory, and resources that all the people of the country need to live a happy life. And all the others.
In later generations, what annoyed Yan Shao the most? Internally, Yan Shao is not clear. Because there are many things inside that annoy Yan Shao, but externally. What Yan Shao is most tired of is that those outsiders look at China with pity, thinking that the Chinese are so pitiful and always describe China as dire and dire as China.
Naturally, Yan Shao also admitted that China in later generations is indeed not called heaven, and it can even be said that except for a few people, the vast majority of people are not happy. But at least Yan Shao doesn't think that the China of later generations is really worse than that.
And people abroad will always be reported because of this or that. It is very pitiful to misunderstand China, and some even regard China as what it was fifty or sixty years ago.
This is true not only for foreigners, but also for people from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Yan Shao still remembers that in his early years, he once went to the Taiwan server to play an online game, but at that time, after the Taiwanese in the game learned that Yan Shao was a northerner, they once asked Yan Shao a question that could not be laughed and criedββββββ "When you go to the toilet in winter, isn't it cold to go to the toilet?" β
At that time, Yan Shao's first reaction was to be stunned, because he didn't understand what the other party meant at all. Finally, after thinking about it, Yan Shao replied with an answer that he felt was correct. That is, in the north there is heating. Well, even though this stuff costs money.
However, then Yan Shao realized that the reason why the person asked this question was because he thought that Chinese people lived in some houses without toilets. Wait until people have three urgencies. I will run to the toilet outside the house, inside the hut...
In this way, the winter is naturally very cold...
Wait until Yan Shao explains clearly. The other party didn't seem very happy, and later Yan Shao had a very fierce conflict with the other party. It also roughly comes from this, because the other party doesn't believe Yan Shao's words at all. He preferred to believe that China at that time was as 'miserable' as he imagined.
In this way, the other party can enjoy the sense of superiority brought by the depths of his heart, and at the same time pity the people of the mainland very much.
By the way, I heard that there are quite a few such people in Taiwan.
There are also a series of things that happened in Hong Kong before Yan Shao crossed over.
Although those Hong Kong people use one reason or another to oppose mainland tourists, Yan Shao feels that one of the most important reasons why they oppose it is because they can't stand that mainlanders can actually go to their place to spend.
In their concept, it seems that they should only go to the mainland, while enjoying the sense of superiority brought by their hearts, talking about what is going on on the mainland, and at the same time looking at each other with pity.
At least in the past, the city across from it has always been...
Isn't it even true of some old Hong Kong movies, although it is only to increase the comedic effect, they always like to portray mainlanders as ignorant and ignorant...
Naturally, in Yan Shao's time, it seemed that those people on the other side could no longer be like this...
And this is becoming more and more unbearable for them.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
I have to admit that China in Yan Shao's era was indeed not a perfect country.
Especially when compared to those developed countries, it shows how stressful it is to live in China.
Yan Shao is not ignorant of the cruelty of war, the reason why he has so frequently involved China in one war after another is to obtain a life that can make everyone happy.
In this way, at present, China and other countries are still in the same running line, at most it is about half a step behind, with these resources, Yan Shao can use the fastest time to bring China into the field of a developed country, and in this process, the cost of a qiΔ qiΔ, will be more efficient than the originalββββββ after all, although China in the past is rich in resources, but there are many people, on average, it is basically nothing, and after having the current qiΔ, China, however, also has the ability to be rich and capricious...
With so many resources and at the same time on the same starting line as other countries, Yan Shao believes that he can definitely let the people of this country live the same life as European and American countries in later generations.
They should have enjoyed this life.
After all, they are the best and hardworking people in the worldββββββ of course, there are some who are not very hardworking, such as Yan Shao and the like...
Nature. You don't need to talk about this with anyone else.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Anyway, look at this model in front of you. Except for Yan Shao, who had already seen it, including those bodyguards. Almost everyone felt a sense of shock.
This is also the purpose of Yan Shao bringing them here, after all, if there is no shock, it will be in vain.
And while letting Fumiko and the others admire the model in front of them, on the other hand, Yan Shao was thinking about another thing.
It has to be said that as the ancestor of all mountains, it is correct to use the name Kunlun to name China's first aircraft carrier in the true sense.
It's just that on the other hand, Yan Shao is not so satisfied with the performance of this aircraft carrier.
After all, in Yan Shao's view, an aircraft carrier also needs at least a hundred. Even more carrier-based aircraft will do, and only in this way can a strong combat effectiveness be formed.
And for now...
The Kunlun in front of him, although it also has quite strong combat effectiveness, but counting the deck, it only has a carrying capacity of more than 40 aircraft. If you only count the hangar, it is only about 30 aircraft, considering that the size of carrier-based aircraft will continue to increase in the future, this number is likely to be reduced to 20 aircraftββββββ which is not surprising, after all, the aviation industry is in its infancy, and the performance of all aircraft is very backward. At the same time, the volume of the aircraft is not very large.
But after a period of time, when the performance of the aircraft has been fully developed and the volume has gradually increased, the carrying capacity of an aircraft carrier will be very worrying.
"That's right. How long will it take for the Kunlun to be launched? β
"It's probably going to be a little over a month, President."
Hearing Yan Shao's inquiry, the staff member hurriedly whispered on the side.
Hear his answer. Yan Shao nodded slightly.
More than a month, although it is not a short time. But it's not very long, Yan Shao can wait.
It should be clarified. Since Kunlun is the ancestor of all mountains, then those who have become ancestors will inevitably have descendants, that is, those new ships that have developed according to Kunlun.
The same is true for now, although many people in the navy do not agree with the new aircraft carrier, but with Yan Shao's support, the YiqiΔ project is still going on smoothly.
At least on the part of the ship design bureau, the development of a new type of aircraft carrier has already begun.
The displacement of the entire aircraft carrier will reach an unprecedented 20,000 tons, and the full load displacement will reach more than 30,000 tons, and it will become the largest aircraft carrier in historyββββββ although the aircraft carrier does not seem to have a history of many years in this era.
Of course, there is nothing such as volume, the point is that this aircraft carrier will be equipped with a lot of very new technology and equipment.
Let's say something like a catapult...
Of course, the catapult referred to here is definitely not a steam catapult. After all, that kind of thing appeared around the fifties in the original history. At that time, because the early carrier-based aircraft had begun to lag behind in performance, and the take-off demand for jet aircraft was very large, so...
How to say it...
There is no way, only equipped with a catapult can make the plane take off normally ...
And ordinary catapults are not able to meet the very heavy weight of jet aircraft, so the steam catapult was born.
It should be noted that it is not said that the Russians were actually unable to build steam catapults, but because the environment in Russia was very cold, and a large amount of steam could easily freeze the deck, and this problem was difficult to solve. In addition, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that needed a steam catapult at that time had not yet been completed, and Soviet Russia had already collapsed, and this thing naturally could not be born ...
The catapults owned by China during this period were relatively primitive.
Since the 20s of the 20th century, there have been a variety of catapults with compressed air, gunpowder, rocket, electric, hydraulic and steam power. In addition to the steam catapult, other forms of catapult have been gradually eliminated due to the limitation of safety or catapult energy, which restricts the development and use of carrier-based aircraft.
In the original history, the earliest use of catapults for aircraft carriers was the "Langley" converted from a coal carrier in 1922, although the maximum speed was only 15 nautical miles, this aircraft carrier was a very successful test platform for the US Naval Aviation, and the most critical equipment in aircraft carrier technology, such as catapults, barrage nets and elevator technology, were tested on the "Langley". The experience and numbers gained from this aircraft carrier had a great influence on the design and operation of the aircraft carrier later.
However, it should be noted that during this period, because the take-off and landing distance of the aircraft is very short, this kind of equipment will inevitably seem a little frivolous.
At least for some periods, this kind of thing is listed as obsolete products...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
While Yan Shao was still talking with the staff, Fumiko on the side had already finished admiring the thing in front of them.
"Uncle, when will this aircraft carrier be launched?"
Maybe it's because he has been with Yan Shao for a long time, and Fumiko also knows a lot of things that he didn't know before, such as launching into the waterββββββ at least he already knows that a warship must be launched before it can be put into service.
And after hearing Fumiko's words, Yan Shao patted her head before replying.
"It's probably going to be a month or so..."
"Then can you take me then?" Saying this, Fumiko looked up at Yan Shao, and there was some light flashing in her eyes. (To be continued......)
