However, some people think that as a strategic weapon, the delivery distance is actually more important than the firing speed, so someone immediately asked, "So what is the range of the main gun and the secondary gun?" ”

Chen Chen looked back at the big screen: "The effective firing range of the secondary gun should be more than 400 kilometers, and the effective firing range of the main gun should be more than 1,000 kilometers." If a greater range is required, a booster power unit can be added to the magnetic field generator in the core.

"In fact, the range of the main gun can be farther, just because the earth's surface is curved, and the trajectory of this main gun shell is almost a straight line, if you want to hit a target far enough, you need to increase the firing height as much as possible.

"To hit a target 1,000 kilometers away, you need to rise to an altitude of 80 kilometers, which is the outermost edge of the stratosphere."

Listening to Chen Chen's explanation, the scholars and high-level officials couldn't help but nod slightly, although they were quite surprised by such a long range, they didn't show too much surprise.

Some people even sighed and said: "After all, it is not an aircraft carrier, there are no aircraft, limited by the shape of the earth, rising to an altitude of 80 kilometers and hitting targets of 1,000 kilometers should already be the limit."

"No matter how high it is, it will be out of the atmosphere, the volume is so large, to reach a higher altitude, the fuel consumption will be very exaggerated, it would be nice if this ship were an aircraft carrier......"

Hearing this person's sigh, Chen Chen couldn't help but say, "There are actually planes......

"Huh!" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they couldn't help but start speculating and discussing, "This is a battleship, not an aircraft carrier, where did the plane come from?"

Some people also looked at the structural diagram on the big screen and analyzed: "From the appearance, there is no take-off runway and landing blocking cable at all, how can this plane take off?" ”

Then one of the people said weakly: "Since it is a battleship, then...... The plane above him, is it a reconnaissance plane? Or a helicopter? Or a VTOL aircraft? ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately reacted that there are generally helicopters used for reconnaissance on the current warships.

Before the introduction of helicopters, seaplanes were used on warships, and cranes on the bow of warships were used to recover and release.

Chen Chen listened to everyone's discussions, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's a reconnaissance plane, but it's not a helicopter, and it's not a vertical take-off and landing plane."

"Because when patrol ships release reconnaissance planes, they fly at high speeds of more than 10 kilometers, so as soon as the planes go out, they fly in the air, and there is no need to think about how to take off and land."

As soon as Chen Chen said this, everyone understood that there was once a country on the earth that used airships to release planes at high altitudes without a runway.

Chen Chen also did not ink, and instructed Xingchen to zoom in on the image, showing the internal structure of the patrol boat:

"Look here, in the belly of the patrol ship, there are four rows of suspended engine rooms, and in each row, there are eight reconnaissance aircraft."

Before Chen Chen zoomed in, everyone stared at the image for a while, but they didn't notice where the plane was.

Seeing that Chen Chen specially enlarged the part and specially pointed it out, everyone found out that it was here!

The main reason is that everyone didn't expect that these planes were stored upright, and the storage space was very narrow and dense, and the space of each plane was just put into it.

Then add the shape of this aircraft, which is slightly different from the existing ones on the earth, and the lines are very simple, basically a long and narrow triangle.

These very simple-looking planes, hung on shelves and connected to the surrounding mechanical structure, at first glance will be regarded as a triangular mechanical structure, and they will not be thought of as airplanes.

The earth's modern military equipment is overwhelmingly superior to aircraft carriers, so although these are only reconnaissance planes, reconnaissance planes are also airplanes, and they may be able to be transformed into fighters or bomber fighters.

With this in mind, everyone has a little more expectation and curiosity about these reconnaissance planes.

And Chen Chen's next words once again hit everyone's curiosity.

Chen Chen clicked on the image of the plane again, and Xingchen enlarged a single plane structure diagram to the full screen.

Chen Chen continued: "First of all, we must explain a premise, in a civilization that can carry out long-distance and ultra-high-speed inter-space navigation with technology, the all-attack aircraft carrier of the earth has been eliminated.

"Therefore, aircraft is no longer the main means of attack of future warships, but is only used as an auxiliary reconnaissance means and is retained in other types of warships, and the space has also been compressed to the limit."

Listening to Chen Chen's words, the high-level officials, soldiers, and scientific researchers present were all stunned.

It took Donghua a lot of effort to finally toss out his aircraft carrier, but Chen Chen said in a word, this weapon will be eliminated in the future, is this so possible?

The military and high-level officials, as well as the scientific researchers, all looked puzzled, and many people thought that Chen Chen was joking.

After all, they know that whether it is the current technology and theory of the earth, or the prediction of the medium- and long-term future, it shows that carrier-based aviation is still the most powerful and effective means of attack.

Chen Chen said that if you are eliminated, you will be eliminated, when those of us who do research, are we all eating dry rice?

So someone immediately questioned: "With all due respect, Mr. Chen Chen, you are responsible for speaking like this."

"Now the decision-making level of the country is listening, please be cautious about such remarks that affect the future strategy and direction of our national defense forces."

This is still a relatively euphemistic statement, and at the same time, there are others, who may themselves be researchers related to aircraft carrier technology, and they directly said loudly:

"Mr. Chen Chen, regarding your statement, I hope you will give a reasonable explanation, otherwise, I can think that you are slandering all those who are fighting for the cause of aircraft carriers."

Chen Chen smiled helplessly when he heard this: "Don't worry, everyone, think about it, what is the premise of what I just said." I'm talking about civilizations that can travel long distances and at ultra-high speeds.

"The so-called long distance is at least light-year, ultra-high-speed, at least one hundredth of the speed of light, in the universe, that is, the range of space, not in the earth's atmosphere.

"In a battle between civilizations of this level, airplanes are no longer useful.

"Because the civilization level of the earth is a period when the spear is larger than the shield, and according to the information I got from the metal seed core, in the era when the speed can reach one hundredth of the speed of light and the cosmic voyage at the level of light years can be carried out, it should be the era when the shield is larger than the spear, so the plane is not very effective.

"As for why the shield is greater than the spear, we will talk about the defense system later, and now let's talk about the reconnaissance aircraft first."
