"Knock knock—"

Dong Chen, who was calculating the data of the electromagnetic catapult, heard someone knock on the door, changed the page of the laptop to a movie page, and the sketches of the graffiti on the table were also sorted out a little, and then went to open the door.

He looked at the door and said, "Yo, why are you guys here free?" As he spoke, he let them in.

"Why, can't we come in? It's like you're as busy as we are. Luo Ya first answered Dong Chen's words, but at the same time, he also defeated Dong Chen.

"Haha, Dong Chen, you shouldn't ask this sentence, no matter how you answer, you can't answer it well." Doudou, who was following behind, teased.

Then the pigtails in the back came in and said, "Don't bother with buckteeth, we're just here to ask you for a drink, and we're idle in the dormitory anyway." ”

"Yes, wait a minute, I'll move the table." Dong Chen brought them in and asked them to sit on the bed first and clean up the table by themselves.

"I'll help you", the pigtails came up to help Dong Chen get the computer, and when he saw the movie screen paused on Dong Chen's computer, he turned back to the two and said, "I'll just say that Dong Chen is as idle as us, and you don't want to come yet." ”

"Okay, I said to help Dong Chen clean up the table, what are you babbling about there, throw the computer on the bed, and move the table to this side." Doudou said to the somewhat smug pigtails.

The pigtail closed the computer and put it on Dong Chen's bed, then came over to clean up the sketches and manuscripts with him, looked at Dong Chen's sketches and sighed: "If you don't admire it, it's not okay, people are not really as idle as us, you see that people have drawn so many sketches, no wonder they can get the unanimous favor of several bigwigs in the base." ”

Dong Chen only smiled at this, "I'm also lucky, I just thought of an idea, it's not certain whether it can be successful." ”

Dong Chen took the draft in the pigtail's hand, put it in the drawer with the draft he had cleaned up, and then swept some small things into the drawer, and moved the table to the side of the bed with the pigtail.

Originally, it was a single dormitory, with only one chair, and if you wanted to sit together and drink, you had to move the table to the side of the bed and let them sit on the bed.

Brought some appetizers and canned beer from the canteen on the table, and each person shared a pair of chopsticks, Bucktooth first picked up the beer and opened it and took a sip, "Ha~, although this base is not allowed to go out, but the various materials prepared are abundant, and there is no restriction on drinking, as long as you don't make trouble after drinking." ”

"Yes, I used to have a task, it was really strict, not a drop of wine can be touched, and all kinds of rules are simply too many to die, it's better here, come, let's drink one together first." The pigtail opened two cans of beer and put them in front of Doudou and Dong Chen respectively, and then opened a can for himself and said.

Dong Chen, who was dismantling the chopsticks, thanked them, took a sip with them, and then listened to them talk about the tasks in various places, of course, at most, some interesting or unlucky daily life, and some specific tasks were to be kept secret.

Speaking of which, this came to this mission, and Dong Chen also had a topic to chat with them, "Hey, do you think that the supercarrier we are building is actually about the same as the completion progress of the supercarrier newly launched in the United States." ”

"Yes, I also feel this way, although a few months ago, the United States Navy announced that the "Ford" aircraft carrier has completed all the sea trials and is about to be handed over to the United States Navy, but the problems in it can be seen at a glance, not to mention that this has been delayed for several years before the results, so anxious to open out, not to occupy the first place in the world. Bucktooth also had this idea, and said a lot of things.

"There are signs of grabbing the first, but it is also possible that the urging will not work, after all, it has been delayed for several years compared to the original plan, and many aircraft carriers have reached the age of retirement, and new aircraft carriers are needed." Doudou took a sip and said.

"This goods is already 13 billion yuan, but if military contractors want to make money, they must be fooled and lame, and there is nothing wrong with it." The pigtail took a bite of the dish and said, "It's still our Huaguo things that are good and cheap, although we don't know how much it costs, but the cost is definitely much cheaper than theirs." ”

"That's it, and the technical demonstration is also quite strict, step by step, we won't create that kind of unreliable guy for a while, and if Dong Chen's new electromagnetic catapult plan is successful, then we will have a technology that is more advanced than the aircraft carrier of the United States, come, do one for our supercarrier." Doudou proposed loudly.

"Okay, dry this can."

"It's done, Dong Chen wants to drink more, haha."

"you, you want me to drink more, no way."

"Hahaha......"

A few months ago, the latest supercarrier of the United States was finally put into service, and it was originally scheduled to be completed in 2015 and launched into service, but there have been problems in the process of construction and experiments, and it has been delayed again and again, and it has not been delivered to the Navy until this year.

However, this super aircraft carrier, which claims to be invincible in the world, is now plagued by many technical problems.

Although the "Ford" aircraft carrier has been officially put into service, there are still a large number of defects and unfinished parts, and it will not be able to carry out its first combat deployment mission in the next four years, and it will still have to be tested and revised.

The "Ford" aircraft carrier adopts a redesigned small ship island and a new all-electric propulsion system, is equipped with the latest carrier-based aircraft, and plans to be equipped with unmanned combat aircraft, electromagnetic railguns, high-energy laser weapons, and other conceptual weapons at the present stage.

It is true that the large-scale application of high and new technology has brought about a leading edge in military weapons technology, but the "side effects" brought about by the large-scale application of high and new technology are not small. Due to the blind pursuit of technological superiority in weapons and equipment, the United States often applies a large number of new technologies that have not been fully tested and are not very mature to the research and development of weapons and equipment, resulting in the technical indicators of weapons and equipment that have been developed have gone up, but the reliability has dropped significantly, and more importantly, the price will increase exponentially with the upgrading of technology.

The idea of this "Ford" class aircraft carrier is that if everything is advanced, it will go up and down to one piece, and as a result, it will not be able to do any work, and this is a big problem. A lot of money was spent, the original budget was $8 billion, but now it has spent $13 billion, and when it really enters service and forms combat effectiveness, it will cost $16 billion.

Serious technical problems due to immature technology have always been the "common problem" of the new generation of weapons and equipment in the United States, which is the development of high-tech military equipment in the United States, and most of their technology comes from private companies, but private companies must make money, so the cat here, you know.

According to the report provided by the audit department of the United States Congress, although the "Ford" aircraft carrier, which was delayed by 32 months from the original plan, has completed "all the test work" in May this year and has been officially handed over to the Navy, there are a large number of "intolerable" technical defects and unfinished parts, including mandatory impact tests, navigation certification, and network security inspections.

What is even more intolerable is that there are also many technical defects in the electromagnetic catapult system of the "Ford" aircraft carrier, which has not yet been able to catapult a fully loaded aircraft, which will directly affect the sortie efficiency of the carrier-based aircraft.

In addition, the report claims that the new generation of turbine generators used on the USS Ford has been found to have significant flaws in the design of the entire system and has already led to multiple failures. The newly designed electrical wiring, nuclear reactors, arresting equipment, and radar configurations also have major hidden dangers.

Then when the aircraft carrier finally comes out, the reliability and stability are still not guaranteed, and the navy did not dare to accept it for a while after it was brought out, because this is a thing for war, not a weapons and equipment expo for you to see, just show it. It has to be used to fight wars, and to fight wars is to pay attention to reliability, reliability is the first thing, you have to be easy to use, effective, able to fight, and able to have combat effectiveness.

The application of new technologies will enable the United States to maintain its leading advantage in the world's leading position in the new generation of weapons and equipment, but the ensuing technical defects and price problems will become important factors restricting the scale and even combat effectiveness of the US military. At the beginning of his presidency, the new president of the United States confidently announced that he would build 12 new-generation aircraft carrier battle groups for the navy, and for this reason, he also strongly demanded that Congress increase the military budget by a large margin.

However, the cost of a single "Ford" has reached $13 billion, and if we add the allocation of personnel and equipment and the cost of several decades of use, it will have to be hundreds of billions, and it is an astronomical amount to build 12 aircraft carrier battle groups.
