Chapter Seventy-Five: Encountering a Problem
Again!?
When Ed heard the intelligence officer's report, he was shocked.
According to the photos taken by satellite.
In that super industrial park in Great Xia, there are a total of three giant workshops.
Looking at the dimensions of the workshop, it is more than enough for the construction of an aircraft carrier.
Suddenly!
A terrible thought crossed his mind!
In addition to the aircraft carrier that has exploded now, it is possible that there are two other aircraft carriers under construction!??
Previously, Great Xia already had two aircraft carriers, and today another never-before-seen supercarrier broke out!
If it was an aircraft carrier that was built in those two large workshops.
Then the number of aircraft carriers in Great Xia has reached an extremely dangerous critical point!
At that time.
At least three aircraft carriers will be sent to missions around the world!
For Amelica, who has pushed aircraft carrier supremacy for more than a century.
This is undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge and threat!
"Damn it!"
"When did Great Xia quietly start building so many aircraft carriers!?"
"Haven't all their previous energy been on astronautics!?"
"Can anyone tell me what's going on over there in Great Xia!?"
"What about our intelligence officers!? Why didn't our intelligence officers tell us in advance!? ”
Ed roared loudly in frustration.
"Sir, are we going to use the intelligence agents who have already broken into the industrial park!?"
"One of the intelligence officers who has penetrated the most has been quite trusted and can enter and exit the Aerospace Industrial Park!"
The suggestion of his subordinates calmed Ed down.
Although he was desperate to know everything about the huge industrial park.
But reason told him.
If you rashly use the intelligence officer who has already broken into the aerospace industrial park.
It is likely to increase the risk of exposure to that intelligence officer.
A hidden intelligence officer is useful.
If a valuable agent were to be exposed for a trivial matter, it would be a very cost-losing thing!
"Wait."
"Other intelligence officers can use it, but the one that has already penetrated the interior of the Aerospace Industrial Park, don't act rashly!"
"Although the aircraft carrier of Great Xia has been exposed."
"But they've just built one, and it's still too early to really form a combat force!"
"Not to mention anything else, the problem of carrier-based aircraft on aircraft carriers, they basically haven't solved it now!"
"Although the aircraft carrier that broke out last time is very powerful, it is always an unmanned aircraft carrier."
"The compatibility of the carrier-based aircraft above with this side is a big problem."
"And a supercarrier with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons cannot use some UAVs as the main fighter!"
"Anyway, I haven't seen any new aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft exposed over there in Daxia."
"The only aircraft carrier aircraft is still a flying shark that glides and jumps off, although the catapult flying shark is also being tested."
"But this fighter alone is on par with us!"
……
The situation that Ed said.
On the side of Great Xia, it exists objectively.
Director Cheng also reflected this problem with Su Che.
"Director Su, I have seen the new aircraft carrier through satellite images!"
"It's really domineering! Ha ha! ”
"The combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier is probably more than twice as powerful as the previous sliding aircraft carrier!"
"It's just...... Such a powerful aircraft carrier will not be able to enter service as soon as possible......"
"Oh? Director Cheng said, is there any trouble? Su Che asked suspiciously.
"There must be trouble!"
"For such a huge giant aircraft carrier, there must be at least three types of carrier-based aircraft!"
"But let's not talk about three kinds of Daxia, even if it's one, it's still used to make up the number......"
"The Flying Shark can't adapt to the needs of a giant ship like a supercarrier!"
"We have already begun bidding for new carrier-based aircraft for various units of the space industry."
"However, from the establishment of the project to the test flight, the time to go through is too long, and it often takes ten or eight years!"
"Now the aircraft carriers have been built and are about to be launched, but the carrier-based aircraft have not yet landed."
"You can't let the aircraft carrier soak in the water for ten or eight years and wait for the carrier-based aircraft, right!?"
After Su Che listened, he was a little silent.
Director Cheng is right, carrier-based aircraft have now become a checkpoint that cannot be ignored in the new aircraft carrier.
But he didn't have a good idea right now.
Because he has not drawn technical drawings about carrier-based aircraft at the moment.
The supporting carrier-based aircraft on the unmanned aircraft carrier last time were all matched with the aircraft carrier.
That's all there is to it.
And it's all drones.
Even if there are UAVs whose performance is no worse than that of manned fighters.
However, due to the lack of relevant technical information.
Therefore, high-volume manufacturing is not possible.
At most, it is to select some of those drones for dismantling and reverse research and development.
But it's also a long process.
"What a headache......
Thinking of this, Su Che sighed secretly in his heart.
"Director Cheng, I think we still have to look at the existing fighters to see if there are any fighters that have the potential to be converted into carrier-based aircraft."
Director Cheng paused slightly and said, "Now it seems that this can only be done......
"At present, the subordinate units of the aerospace industry have set off for you!"
Su Che nodded: "Don't worry, Director Cheng, as long as I can help them, I will definitely try my best to help them!" ”
……
Inside the aerospace industrial park of the super industrial park.
In order to facilitate mutual exchange and learning.
Many workshops have been vacated to entertain the soon-to-be-settled aviation industry brothers.
The aviation industry has basically sent all the researchers who are capable of it.
The fighter design and construction units of Great Xia are nothing more than two in the southwest and northeast.
At present, most of the fighters in service in Great Xia are also designed and manufactured by these two units.
However, there are several other units that are good at special aircraft.
In order to equip the new aircraft carrier of Daxia with a new generation of carrier-based aircraft as soon as possible.
Daxia Shipbuilding Industry and various aerospace units all gathered together to carry out a seminar.
Before the start of the meeting.
Researchers from the two aircraft groups in the southwest and northeast, as well as the other two special aircraft groups, couldn't wait to come to the new aircraft carrier to inspect and experience.
In addition to satisfying the curiosity in my heart.
I also want to take a look at the aircraft carrier first, and then use this as a reference standard to carry out the research and development of a new generation of carrier-based aircraft.
But when they set foot on the aircraft carrier.
I was immediately blown away by the huge and vast deck!
Although the data on the specific parameters of the new aircraft carrier were informed in advance.
But data is data after all.
There is no way to intuitively feel the shock of the real thing.
The length is almost 400 meters, and the deck is more than 90 meters wide at its widest point.
And the ship island occupies only a little bit, and the rest of the place is the parking area and the runway!
The huge deck space makes people feel small when they stand on it.
"This ...... That's too big! ”
"There are six aircraft lifts, and more than a dozen ammunition lifts......"
"It's ...... Electromagnetic catapult!? ”
On the deck, the researchers of the two major aircraft groups were as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, and they were both novel and excited.
No way.
The aircraft carriers before Great Xia were just ordinary glide jump take-off aircraft carriers.
Whether it is the size of the aircraft carrier or the advanced degree of the aircraft carrier, it is not the same.
At that time, the Ford-class of the Eagle Sauce family was still an unattainable supercarrier.
But now.
Daxia's new aircraft carrier is even more powerful than the Ford-class one!
Whether in size or performance, it is far beyond the Ford class!
For them, this would have been unimaginable before.
But now it's a reality.
Moment!
The researchers felt a rush of blood boiling at this moment!
Such a powerful warship now belongs to Great Xia!
Be sure to equip this aircraft carrier with the best fighters!
A researcher from the Northwest Special Aircraft Group examined the width and length of the runway and couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
"With such a large deck area, even a tactical transport aircraft like the C130 can take off and land normally!"
His words woke up people from several other aircraft groups at once.
Oh, yes!
With such a large deck space, it can accommodate more types and models!
Models that were unimaginable before can be tried on the ship!
Before the Great Xia, there was only one Flying Shark that could be used as the main fighter.
The rest of the functions are pressed on several helicopters with limited performance.
It is difficult to bring into play the true strength of the aircraft carrier formation.
But now, they can bring more types of aircraft to ships, such as tactical transport aircraft like the C130, AWACS platforms like the Y9, and anti-submarine aircraft platforms.
It is even possible to develop a bomber platform for this aircraft carrier.
The combat means of the new aircraft carrier will be further enriched and an all-round strike system will be formed that can attack the sea, the air, and the ground!
After visiting the new aircraft carrier.
Almost all the experts are excitedly discussing various feasibility.
One by one, the plans were released one after another at the seminar.
"In terms of fighters, our J20 and J16 can meet the standards for ships, not to mention the J35 that has been overhauled in the later stage!"
"When it comes to the choice of fighters, there is basically no need to worry."
"In order to quickly form a new aircraft carrier into combat capability, we don't need to redesign and develop a new fighter, it will be too time-consuming!"
"What we have to consider now is how to remodel the existing fighter to meet the requirements for going on board!"
"In terms of fighters, J20, J35, and J16 will be selected for the time being."
"With J20 as a heavy air superiority fighter, J35 forms a high and low match with it, of which J35 can be used for multi-purpose use."
"These two are stealth fighters, and the role will be very huge after they are on the ship!"
"In addition, the J16 can be used as an electronic warfare platform, as well as a multi-purpose platform for performing a variety of tasks such as sea and ground."
"Judging by the payload of the J16, it can even be used as a small bomber!"
"As for the special operations aircraft, for the time being, it is based on the Y9 platform, whether it is a tactical transport aircraft, an early warning aircraft, or an anti-submarine aircraft, it is capable of doing the job!"
"As long as it is based on the current Y9, it can be deeply improved and optimized."
"When the more advanced Y30 platform matures in the future, a series of special fighters based on the Y30 platform can be reequipped."
"In addition, helicopters such as ZH20 and ZH10 can also be on board at any time."
"Coupled with some UAVs for various purposes, the carrier-based aircraft of the new aircraft carrier are basically fully equipped."
After discussions at the workshop, the plan was quickly finalized.
The rest of the matter is to re-optimize and improve the original fighters according to various data of the new aircraft carrier.
The workload is much easier than directly designing a completely new fighter.
According to conservative estimates, it will not take a few months to complete the work on the ship.
Even a few of these models can be put on board with almost no changes.
After finalizing the matter of carrier-based aircraft.
All units began to devote themselves to the intensive work.
……
Aerospace Industrial Park.
After the seminar on carrier-based aircraft, which involved top secrets.
A teacher from Jinghai University came to the industrial park with more than a dozen aerospace students.
"Teacher Xu, I'm bringing students to class again."
The doorman of the Aerospace Industrial Park greeted a slender female teacher with a smile.
Teacher Xu smiled and replied casually: "Yes~!" ”
"By the way, master, why was the park locked down in the morning?"
"At the usual time, we've all gone back from class."
The doorman shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, but I heard that it was a seminar and exchange meeting, and it was over just now." ”
Teacher Xu smiled and nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go in first." What is the matter...... you call me?"
After speaking, she led the students and walked towards the aerospace industrial park.
The aerospace engineering major of Jinghai University and the aerospace laboratory of Jinghai University have a deep cooperation project with Daxia Aerospace Group in the industrial park.
Therefore, the aerospace teachers of Jinghai University, under the condition of obtaining approval, can openly and honestly bring aerospace students to the aerospace industrial park for learning and exchange.
The slender woman quickly led the students to a research room.
"Teacher Xu is here~!"
"You're bringing more and more students!"
"In the future, it is very likely that a group of aerospace experts will be trained for Great Xia!"
The researchers in the research room, after seeing Teacher Xu's figure, greeted her with a smile.
The convenience brought by appearance is still very great.
"Tutors have worked hard, this has just finished the seminar, and I want to trouble you to help teach the students......"
The woman mentioned the seminar as if unintentionally, and then said apologetically.
"Teacher Xu is polite~!"
"We are also all teaching some things by the way, no trouble~!"
The researchers' response, avoiding the topic of the seminar, made the woman keenly aware of the hidden nature of the dispute.
