"Chief Engineer Liu, the dock has been filled with water, and the Type 003 No. 1 ship has floated normally." A staff member reported to Chief Engineer Liu.

"Well, notify the relevant operators to board the ship, and in twenty minutes open the dock gate and transfer to the test site." Chief Engineer Liu looked at the scene below and said.

"Yes, Chief Engineer Liu." The staff member replied and went to deliver the order.

After watching the staff member leave, Chief Engineer Liu turned his head and looked at Dong Chen and several staff members next to him, "How is it, is the calculation result out?" ”

"Come out, it's still your old man's big face, and I'm going to come over at once The details of the carrier-based aircraft they are developing. After detailed calculations of the information provided by them and computer simulation of catapult take-off, the new electromagnetic catapult system I designed can fully meet the full load take-off of heavy bombers, let alone heavy fighters. Dong Chen pointed to the computer screen for Chief Engineer Liu to see.

Then after speaking, he asked the two technicians next to him to turn their computer screens around, and continued to say to Chief Engineer Liu: "It's just that due to the relationship of time and the problem of supercomputing resources, the number of simulation experiments we have done is insufficient, but fortunately, the success rate is 100%, you see, these are the experimental data." ”

"Well, you don't have to worry about supercomputing resources, I will apply to the top, with your basic data, I think I will be able to apply for it soon, just now there is news from the carrier-based aircraft, the new carrier-based aircraft has been disassembled into parts, and it is being loaded and transported here, your most important task now is to improve and upgrade your new catapult according to the data obtained from this ejection experiment, and after the prototype of the new carrier-based aircraft is shipped, let's strive for a success and a perfect finish." Chief Engineer Liu clenched his fists and affirmed.

"Haha, Lao Liu, you are so confident, it's like being beaten with chicken blood." Director Sun, who was standing next to him, patted Chief Engineer Liu on the shoulder and said.

Chief Engineer Liu grabbed Director Sun's arm and dragged him directly to the office next to him, "Don't talk nonsense, follow me and call quickly, and apply for more supercomputing resources." ”

"Hey, let's go, what are you talking about?" Director Sun struggled as he walked.

It turned out that Director Sun's resistance was useless, and he was directly dragged into the office by Chief Engineer Liu, who was an old man, but there was still a difference in strength.

The people in the observation room didn't see anything, what should they do, the big guy's business is not something they can mix, and the thing is about to succeed, the big guys can relax and joke a little, but they can't relax.

Dong Chen continued to look at the data of the simulation experiment, he has been here for a long time, these two brothers are usually not in tune, but they are really good at work, and it is good to get used to their personalities.

After a while, Chief Engineer Liu and Director Sun came out and told Dong Chen that the matter of supercomputing resources was solved, and from tomorrow, the supercomputing quota in the institute would be doubled.

"Hehe, you two old people have face, one application is approved." Dong Chen gave a thumbs up to the two old men.

"Haha, that's right, but it's still related to the progress of the whole project, to be precise, it's your credit." Director Sun didn't boast about it this time, and put the credit on Dong Chen.

Chief Engineer Liu next to him seems to have this attitude, the rest of this aircraft carrier has been completed, but this electromagnetic catapult can't be handled, and at this time, the supercarrier that has been delayed for several years has been put into service, although there are many problems, but people do drive it.

That's it, this first has been occupied, and another faulty aircraft carrier has been launched on their side, which will definitely be faceless, so they will naturally have pressure on their side, so they can only desperately improve it, and strive to get it before the United States, and come to a complete version.

Fortunately, Dong Chen's arrival brought them the dawn.

At this time, the staff member just now ran over again and reported to Chief Engineer Liu: "Chief Engineer Liu, twenty minutes have arrived, and all the operators have been in place." ”

"yes, got it." Chief Engineer Liu said yes and walked to the microphone, turned on the microphone and said: "All personnel, please pay attention, open the dock gate, and the tugboat is ready to enter the operation." ”

With the order issued by Chief Engineer Liu, the warning light above the dock gate began to flash, the alarm sounded again, and then the heavy gate below began to open slowly, because the dock has been filled with water, the water surface and the water surface of the test site are level, just the space occupied by the gate was immediately filled with seawater, basically did not cause any waves to the water surface.

As the gate opened, the tugboat, which had been waiting outside the gate, came in and towed the aircraft carrier to a huge test site across the gate.

Thanks to the miracle of nature, such a large karst cave connected to the sea water has been formed here, otherwise the thief rabbit who slammed the door would not necessarily build such a large secret scientific research base here, and it is difficult to say whether there will be this aircraft carrier, but it will not be so early.

Dong Chen and they have already moved to the observation window of the test site, the tugboat and the aircraft carrier first came to the side of the test site, where the carrier-based aircraft to participate in the ejection experiment were hoisted onto the deck of the aircraft carrier, due to limited space, there were no super-large aircraft, just a few active J15 carrier-based aircraft and a few experimental UAVs, of course, they were all fully loaded.

When the carrier-based aircraft was loaded, the tugboat dragged the aircraft carrier to the predetermined position, the aircraft carrier staff first checked all the links, and then searched the flight deck in a carpet manner, and after no foreign objects were found, the new electromagnetic catapult shipboard experiment officially began.

The first to start the ejection experiment was the carrier-based UAV, although countless simulation experiments have been done, but the first experiment still has to be handed over to the UAV, such an experiment is the safest, and this is also the meaning of the invention of the UAV.

The first UAV is relatively small compared to other carrier-based aircraft, but it is also a big guy weighing more than a dozen tons, although it is only an experiment, but the process that should be gone is still to be walked again.

Since this is not on the ocean outside, but inside the test site, the aircraft carrier does not need to adjust its course to a wind speed of about 30 knots above the flight deck, and is suitable for a certain course of the aircraft to take off, and this condition is quickly completed after the mediation of the artificial wind.

After the deck crew conducted a routine pre-flight inspection of the drone, the command staff gave the command to start the engine and conduct a pre-takeoff test run.

After completing the test run, checking and adjusting the relevant controllers, the take-off guide of the carrier-based aircraft in yellow overalls guides the aircraft forward to the electromagnetic catapult, and at the same time, the aircraft engine jet air flow baffle on the aircraft carrier is erected from the deck behind the carrier-based aircraft that will take off to protect the personnel and aircraft behind the catapult.

Then, the docker, dressed in green overalls, connects the nose landing gear of the aircraft to the reciprocator of the catapult through the nose landing gear traction system and clamping device, so that the aircraft is fixed at the initial end of the catapult power stroke.

After the ejection preparations are completed, the deck instructors in yellow overalls give a signal, the aircraft releases the brakes and increases the power, and the aircraft ejection officer extends two fingers to give a turn signal.

After being confident that the plane is working properly, the pilot salutes to show that he is ready to take off.

Of course, ahem, there is no such thing, the drone does not have a pilot, and all the actions on it are done by the operator of the drone, including the invisible salute of the deck commander, and the operator told the deck commander through the intercom on the control platform that the deck commander is ready and can take off.

The aircraft ejection officer checked the readiness of the catapult again, and after another deck crew confirmed that the aircraft was ready for takeoff, the ejection officer left the catapult and signaled to the crew in the broadside, and the crew operating the electromagnetic catapult quickly pressed the catapult button after receiving the signal.

The charged electromagnetic catapult drives the carrier-based aircraft to taxi to the end of the catapult stroke, and the aircraft is driven by this huge power to reach the speed of take-off and departure, and the aircraft automatically detachs from the catapult, and at the same time, the energy stored in the front landing gear begins to be released, and the aircraft's angle of attack instantly reaches the take-off angle, and the aircraft is like an arrow, flying away from the aircraft carrier.

“Yes！ Perfect! Dong Chen shouted happily.

Dong Chen saw all this process clearly, the brightly lit test site and condescending line of sight provided him with a good perspective, Dong Chen's eyes were more than others', not to mention that his glasses were not ordinary, so he saw it more clearly than anyone else, he didn't need to look at any data, just looking at the beautiful arc of the plane flying out, he knew that the ejection test was successful.

Dong Chen's shouts also woke up the others, and everyone who reacted instantly cheered, and Chief Engineer Liu directly patted Dong Chen's shoulder and said, "Haha, boy, there is really you." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, but this first success is nothing, it depends on the data and the follow-up ejection." Dong Chen touched his shiny bald head and said modestly.

As they cheered, the drone had been successfully captured by the capture and recovery system on the cave wall, and was being quickly recovered, and the new interception net had been reopened, waiting for the arrival of the next aircraft.

At this time, the ejection data of the first aircraft also came out, and the ejection state was perfect, completely meeting the take-off requirements.

And the next situation really lived up to Dong Chen's high expectations, the ejection experiments of all experimental models were all a perfect success, and the data were also quite perfect, and the subsequent advanced blocker experiments were also very successful, and the performance was also quite perfect.

The next thing is to wait for the arrival of the real carrier-based aircraft of this aircraft carrier, but this time can not be idle, all kinds of aircraft still have to continue to eject, now we know that this catapult can be used, but how long it can be used, and whether there are other problems, these require a lot of experiments to verify.

But I already know that it can be used, which is much better than the previous one, with a success rate of only 50%, and it is much better than the goods that can not be fully loaded and taken off, of course, the one in the United States is not much better, and it has been in the experimental stage.

And this experiment can be regarded as a real success of the electromagnetic catapult.

After the first experiment, there is no need for a few bigwigs to stare at it like this, and the subsequent experiment status only needs to be reported once in a while, and then after the J20 carrier-based aircraft comes, they may come to take a look.

What they are now considering is whether to hold an internal party after the success of this project, which seems to be one of the ancestral customs of rabbits.
