Chapter 172: Supercarrier
In the huge mountain space, a group of high-tech workers are busy nervously on the aircraft carrier, and what they are now installing is the final catapult plan finalized by Dong Chen a few days ago.
Since this is a secret scientific research base, in order to minimize the possibility of exposure, there are generally complete industrial production equipment in this kind of place, and the equipment is currently the top in China.
Therefore, after Director Sun issued the order, a large number of technicians worked in three shifts, and in just a few days, a prototype of a new electromagnetic catapult was produced, and now the skilled workers on the aircraft carrier are doing the final debugging to prepare for the upcoming catapult experiment.
Dong Chen walked around the aircraft carrier with a tablet, walked here for a while, said a few words to the technicians who were inspecting, then scratched a few times on the tablet, and then walked to another place for a while, said a few words to the technicians who were debugging the machine, and then made a few strokes on the tablet.
Sometimes Dong Chen will personally debug the equipment, after all, this is his design, until Dong Chen crossed out the last item to be checked on the tablet, then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Whew, finally all the checks have been completed, and the ejection experiment can be carried out at any time." ”
After checking it again, and after confirming that it was correct, Dong Chen signed his name with an electronic pen on it, and then turned on the intercom on his ear and said, "Director, the various systems of the electromagnetic catapult have been checked, and you can proceed to the next item." ”
As soon as Dong Chen finished speaking, Director Sun's voice came from the intercom: "Confirmed?" ”
"Well, I've signed the inspection report." Dong Chen confirmed.
"Okay, then you leave the ship, I'll announce the next order."
"Hmm." Dong Chen hummed, turned off the intercom and began to pack up his things and leave the ship, and at this time, the sound of the radio sounded in the entire dock.
"Attention all construction personnel, please pay attention to all construction personnel, please leave the ship immediately, the dock will be filled with water in twenty minutes."
"Attention all construction personnel, please pay attention to all construction personnel, please leave the ship immediately, and the dock will be ...... in twenty minutes"
After hearing the announcement, all the construction crews on the aircraft carrier quickly packed up their tools and disembarked from the aircraft carrier through the various connection exits.
Dong Chen also took the tablet computer to the observation room above, which is located just above the dock gate, there are observation windows on both sides of the observation room, you can observe the dock and the test site respectively, here as the command center of the dock and the test site, a large number of technicians are busy in front of their respective computers.
Several bigwigs sitting in the observation seat saw Dong Chen coming, and Director Sun smiled and said to him, "How is it?" Have faith? ”
Dong Chen put the tablet in his hand on the table, with a confident expression on his face, "It's no problem at all, it will definitely succeed." ”
"Haha, okay, then I'll wait to accept the praise of the big chief." Director Sun smiled happily, and the others also laughed happily, Dong Chen's new electromagnetic catapult system they have already carefully understood, and it is indeed very feasible.
"Director, all the construction personnel have already left the ship." While the two were talking, a staff member came over and said to Director Sun.
After listening to the staff's report, Director Sun turned his gaze to Chief Engineer Liu, "What's the matter, Chief Engineer Liu, you can announce it." ”
"Me? Haha, that's okay, since you're so humble, then you're welcome. Chief Engineer Liu did not shirk at all and said happily.
"Look at it, this Lao Liu, obviously thinking about this in his heart, he was still sitting there just now, as if he had nothing to do with him, and he was exposed all of a sudden." As if he had exposed something, Director Sun turned his head and said to the other bigwigs.
Everyone else knew about the relationship between the two brothers, and they didn't speak, just watched happily from the side.
However, Chief Engineer Liu didn't care about this ridicule, stood up and walked towards the window facing the dock, and everyone saw that Chief Engineer Liu ignored them and was about to issue an order, so they also got up and followed.
Everyone looked at the giant supercarrier below, and couldn't help but feel proud, this is a supercarrier on a par with the most advanced aircraft carrier in the United States, how many years have passed, and it has finally caught up.
No, if this test is successful, this aircraft carrier will officially surpass the newest aircraft carrier of the United States and become the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world.
Chief Engineer Liu turned on the microphone on the console, leaned forward slightly, "Attention everyone, the dock is starting to fill with water." ”
With Chief Engineer Liu's words, the alarm in the dock sounded, and the yellow warning lights in all directions flashed one after another, reminding people to pay attention to the situation, and the observers were all in place, watching the sea water slowly pouring in, monitoring possible emergencies.
Seawater slowly pours in through the inlet and drainage system of the dock, and the seawater flows slowly to the aircraft carrier in the dock under artificial control, which will hardly bring impulse to the ship, and the impact on the hull structure and superstructure is also minimal.
It's just that these people have time to wait, filling the dock with water is a slow job, in order to minimize the impact on the ship, the water filling process is as little as a few hours, as many as a few days, so wait slowly.
Dong Chen also looked at the water flow below through the window, and saw that the water flow slowly spread across the entire dock bottom, and then began to slowly raise the water surface, and finally Dong Chen's eyes were fixed on the aircraft carrier in the middle.
As Dong Chen stayed here longer and longer, he learned more and more about this aircraft carrier, which is also something he needs to know about his work.
This aircraft carrier is indeed the fourth step of the aircraft carrier program, that is, the continuation of the Ningliao, the domestically produced Type 001 and the Type 003 after Type 002.
The aircraft carrier in front of them has not yet been officially named, so they usually call it the Type 003 No. 1 ship, this aircraft carrier is 340 meters long, 80 meters wide, 12 meters draft, standard displacement of 105,000 tons, full load displacement of 120,000 tons, the overall faintly larger than the "Ford" so lost, here you can see the rabbit's bad intentions.
Alas, for a minute of silence for Eagle Sauce, I met such a rogue rabbit.
In addition, this aircraft carrier is equipped with three domestic nuclear reactors, which is also a helpless thing, domestic material technology has always been a weakness, so only three reactors can be equipped to basically reach the energy supply level of the "Ford".
However, fortunately, the domestic reactor is better at miniaturization, and the space occupied by the three reactors is not much more than that of the "Ford", and the surging power provided by the three reactors can also allow the Type 003 aircraft carrier to reach a speed of more than 30 knots.
Then there are the radar systems, weapon systems, integrated power management systems, stealth performance, etc., which have major breakthroughs on the aircraft carrier, and can be said to be on a par with the "Ford" aircraft carrier.
Due to the comprehensive networking and computerization of the equipment in the ship, the overall degree of automation of the Type 003 is extremely high, which effectively reduces the manpower demand, and it is estimated that all the manpower will add up to 1,800 people, otherwise the training of the Ningliao and 001A aircraft carriers is really not enough. You know, the two aircraft carriers of the Type 002 are also about to be launched.
And Dong Chen has now completely solved the electromagnetic catapult system, and at this point it can be said that he has gone to the front of the United States.
Electromagnetic catapults and advanced interdiction systems, the weight range of ejection and interdiction carrier-based aircraft is greater and more flexible. It can catapult heavy carrier-based aircraft and larger early warning aircraft and bombers, as well as carrier-based UAVs of more than ten tons, and can take off with full loads, which is Dong Chen's credit.
This made sufficient preparations for the "Black Ribbon" fighter that had been preparing to go on the ship, and it was said that there was not much prepared over there, thanks to the secret transactions that Dong Chen and them had made.
