Regarding the exploration plan of ocean exploration, Mu Feng made two preparations from the beginning.

When Mu Feng designed the ocean-going carrier, he also arranged for Liaoning to test the safety of the Air Police 3000 for long-distance flights in sudden bad weather.

In this ocean time, the weather changes more drastically than the earth, and it is normal for the weather to suddenly flash and thunder and rain downpour, so it is necessary to test the safety in sudden rainstorm weather.

According to information from Hood, Bismarck, Richelieu and Veneto, it is at least 10,000 nautical miles from the IJN and USN.

10,000 nautical miles is 18,520 kilometers, and the 3,000 air police, who have the farthest range, can't reach it, so it's impossible to fly directly over by plane.

Moreover, for safety reasons, even if the flight range is sufficient, you can't rush to the plane without knowing the status of the IJN and USN.

Therefore, Mu Feng plans to let the Air Police 3000 fly to about 10,000 kilometers close to the limit, find a suitable island, parachute with the ship's girls, and the plane will make a forced landing or simply crash in the nearby sea.

Let the command construction robot build a temporary airfield and base on the island, put a new set of planes on this temporary airfield, and take off from this airfield again to explore.

10,000 kilometers at a time, but every time a temporary base has to be built, of course it takes time to build the base, and since it is a temporary base, there is no need to think about the environment and conditions.

Finally, it is necessary to consider the safety of long-distance flights in the event of thunder to heavy rain.

In comparison, the conditions on the ocean carrier are much superior, and going out on such a large ship is basically equivalent to going to sea on the most advanced armored cruise ship.

If an ocean-going carrier continues to sail at a speed of 30 knots, it will only take 7 days to reach 10,000 kilometers, and even if it is at a cruising speed of 20 knots, it will only take 11 days to arrive.

This kind of exploration speed is slower than the way of forced landing of planes and the construction of temporary bases, but it is not a few days in total, and the living conditions and safety of the two are far apart.

A week later, the design plan of the ocean-going carrier was finally finalized after nearly 100 large and small revisions in the repeated testing and reminders of the scientific research system, and was handed over to the construction robot to start construction.

At present, the basic industrial facilities of the First Military Port and the fortress area have been basically improved, and iron ore in good condition has been found, and a large amount of steel has been stored.

The special elements required for refining special steel are not complete, but they can be transformed by the manufacturing center with resources, and this technology is very mature.

The large shipyard has also been prepared in advance, and the construction robots are very efficient to get busy.

At the same time, Liaoning's test data for the Air Police 3000 has also accumulated almost.

On this morning, next to the brand-new 200,000-ton dock of the First Military Port, Liaoning took a stack of printed documents and handed it to Mu Feng, and at the same time explained it briefly and concisely:

"In general rainy weather, large aircraft like the Air Police 3000 can fly normally, but it is very dangerous when there are violent rainstorms, thunderstorms, and windy weather.

"The plane can suddenly lose altitude or even lose control completely, which in turn can lead to a crash.

"In the past, the airborne tactics that we often carried out were carried out in the internal waters of several major commands, and each flight lasted only more than two hours at most.

"If the weather is bad, you won't take off, and if you encounter bad weather after takeoff, you can quickly find a place to land.

"In the future, it is necessary to continue to explore the real open ocean, each time it is more than 10 hours of continuous flight, and in this case, the danger will increase exponentially."

Speaking of this, Liaoning paused for a moment and said with a serious face:

"If the plane that our ship is riding in is an ordinary crash, it will be seriously injured at most, and Commander, as a human being, if you crash in a thunderstorm, it will really be nine deaths. So I absolutely did not allow the commander to risk flying long distances by plane. ”

Mu Feng exhaled: "I...... So I'm holding back......"

Liaoning couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "I didn't mean that, didn't the commander have other methods?" ”

Mu Feng nodded and said, "I'm building a big ship here, and then I'm going to implement it on both sides." ”

Liaoning was stunned for a moment: "The two sides will implement it together?" ”

Mu Feng smiled and said: "Yes, it will be a long time for us to officially go to sea, even if this big ship is built with robots, it will take two or three months to build, but the plane can be released first." ”

…………

In the afternoon of the same day, Mu Feng took Sirius, Taiyuan, and Liaoning to the fortress area and rushed to the new airport that had just been completed.

Mufeng controlled 256 construction robots, plus a large number of resources, as well as some necessary facilities and materials, and installed 6 air police 3000 respectively.

At five o'clock in the morning of the next day, in the control room of the new airport, Taiyuan controlled six Air Police 3000s, and Liaoning controlled six H-6Ks full of missiles and aviation auxiliary fuel tanks and flew towards the east together.

With a cruising speed of more than 800 kilometers per hour and a cruising altitude of more than 10,000 meters, the Air Police 3000 and H-6K have few aircraft that can affect them in this world.

In order to save fuel, the radar systems of both aircraft work in turns, at low power.

The weather was fine that morning, the flight was very smooth, and the ocean below occasionally had deep sea haunts, but Mu Feng didn't bother with them.

At noon, there was a large area of rain clouds in front of the plane, which was very slightly affected, but it was fine after passing through.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the group had reached the sea area 9,000 kilometers away from the First Military Port.

The range of the H-6K is about to reach its limit, and the Air Police 3000 will turn on the radar of the early warning aircraft and begin to observe and search the islands and hydrological environment below to find a suitable forced landing point.

After another hour, Liaoning found an island roughly in the shape of a soybean and about 100 kilometers long.

There is an extinct volcano at one end of the island, and a gentle grassland in the middle.

"That's it!" Liaoning pointed to the island on the picture to Mu Feng, "It's too late to find a more suitable one." ”

"Hmm." Mu Feng nodded and agreed, "The first offshore stronghold will be here." ”

Liaoning immediately launched missiles with the H-6K to destroy more than a dozen deep-sea missiles roaming in the deep sea within a radius of 100 kilometers around, and then exchanged control with Taiyuan.

Liaoning, which is more proficient in controlling aircraft, controls 6 air police 3000s with cargo, and Taiyuan, which is relatively unfamiliar, controls 6 H-6Ks.

The planes of the two men distanced themselves from each other and made a forced landing on the sea near the island.

Of the 6 air police 3000, 3 made a near-perfect forced landing and floated smoothly on the water.

Two were slightly injured, but not a big problem, and one broke its wing, but the aircraft itself was not seriously damaged.

At the same time, almost all of the six H-6Ks controlled by Taiyuan were more or less damaged, and two of them were directly broken into two.

However, the H-6K did not bring any key facilities, and most of the equipment inside could be used if it was broken.

After the successful forced landing, the 256 construction robots immediately landed on a hovercraft in accordance with the preset orders and the reserved resources.

They began leveling the grasslands, collecting stone and ash from the nearby mountains, and building runways that could accommodate the landing of Air Police 3000 and Y-20 aircraft.

Dismantle the equipment on the Air Police 3000 and H-6K that were forced to land, and build radar early warning facilities and communication facilities.

In this oceanic time, the environment is almost equal to that of the Earth in classical times, and there is hardly any electromagnetic interference in the sky and on the surface of the sea.

Modern radio equipment can basically achieve communication of tens of thousands of kilometers through proper tuning.
