Great warships

Chapter 912
For an ordinary warship, the groundbreaking ceremony, launching ceremony, and commissioning ceremony are all important. The commissioning ceremony must be held in the navy, but there must be a special delivery ceremony before the commissioning ceremony.

As for sea trials?

General sea trials do not require any ceremony, and the same is true for the 002 aircraft carrier.

The night before, the aircraft carrier quietly dismantled the sheds on the deck, and when the next day just dawned, a large number of people had already arrived at the pier.

How many people are needed for sea trials?

The answer is thousands!
There are many items that need to be carried out in the sea test. If you print out those electronic forms, the thickness is more than that of Cihai. So many items need to be tested one by one. If there is any problem in any item, it needs to be solved on the spot. Need to go to the shipyard to solve it.

This process requires the close cooperation of technical personnel. The shipyard's technical personnel dispatched more than 400 people, who are the technical backbone of each system built. At the same time, there are also more than 600 naval soldiers who need to conduct sea trials. Mastering the operation of the aircraft carrier, in essence, is equivalent to training them, allowing them to contact the aircraft carrier in advance and master the full set of operations. After delivery, there will be no shipyard technicians to teach them step by step.

Ordinarily, there should not be any ceremony at this time, but when the sleepy Qin Tao came to the outfitting dock, he still saw a large number of people. The old man was standing in the most conspicuous place, talking to Zhang Zhen.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" When Qin Tao walked over, Zhang Zhen replied loudly, and then saluted, it seemed that he had just finished his instructions.

"Dad, is it necessary to mobilize so many teachers?" Qin Tao was a little speechless: "This is just a sea test, and it's not the first time."

"However, this is the first sea trial of our domestic aircraft carrier." Wu Shengli said: "Everyone is looking forward to the good news of the sea trial, and our navy is looking forward to the early entry of this aircraft carrier. Are you coming? Elder Liu originally planned to come, but he was not in good health, so he did not come, but when he is serving, Elder Liu will definitely participate."

"Well, dad, we can definitely use video connection to let Mr. Liu see the grand occasion of our sea trial." Qin Tao also became excited when Wu Shengli mentioned Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu has been paying attention to naval construction all his life. The old man is still concerned about the 002 aircraft carrier!

"Well, we can have video connections here at the dock, but not at sea. Our precious satellite communication bandwidth has to be used to transmit more important information." Wu Shengli said.

"Yeah, this is really a troublesome thing. In the future, after our Starlink is developed, we will be able to provide low-cost and high-quality Internet access services."

The Starlink plan was once announced to the public, and then resisted by NASA. Later, an agreement was reached, but later, they broke up with NASA. Instead of letting others launch a large amount of space junk to occupy precious orbital resources, we should It's better to use it yourself.

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Wu Shengli nodded: "This requires your starship company to work hard. Well, the time is almost up, you can go up too. This sea trial is very important. If you go up in person, our navy will feel at ease." .”

The Navy trusts me?Qin Tao is a little guilty. Over the years, he has not devoted himself to his work. He often runs around, doing business everywhere, digging holes for people, and making strategic arrangements. This technology is actually rusty.

However, he must go up to participate in the sea test. After all, he can't go abroad, so he can only stay here. The sea test is more interesting than being on land. Moreover, he still has the memory of his previous life, so maybe he can really help. .

With this in mind, Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, then I'll go up, please believe in the strength of our Mingzhou Group, for us, this is just a normal sea trial."

We have not only tested one aircraft carrier, but this one is no big deal. People like Makarov and Babbage will also board the aircraft carrier and participate in the sea trials together. There will definitely be no accidents.

Qin Tao went up.

Others also went up, and the technicians took their positions, but the marine soldiers did not disperse immediately after going up. They gathered on the deck of the aircraft carrier and lined up neatly.

More than 600 people stood on the deck solemnly and solemnly.

Now, the 07-style military uniform has not yet appeared, and the 97-style military uniform is only distributed in a small number of troops. Most of the soldiers still wear the conventional 87-style military uniform. The sailor uniform of this ordinary navy soldier still maintains a strong Soviet style. It's always been a pullover with a V-neck, but it's white in summer and blue in winter, and the pants are always blue.

Now everyone is wearing autumn and winter all blue attire, wearing striped sea soul shirts, only the sailor cap is still white, the large shield-shaped cap badge looks heroic, and the streamer behind it is dancing in the wind.

"salute!"

Everyone raised their right hands in unison.

Everyone on the outfitting dock also raised their right hands one after another, saluting a standard military salute.

"Woo, woo!" The siren sounded, and there was a faint blue smoke from the chimney, which was much larger than the previous few days.

Although it was early in the morning, the boiler must not be ignited at that time. Although it was extinguished after testing the power system in the past few days, only the diesel generator was left, but at midnight, the hardworking marines ignited all the boilers , After several hours of burning, today's steam pressure has come up, ready to go at any time.

Of course, leaving the port cannot rely on its own power.

The tugboat that had been prepared a long time ago started to come up. Its small body was not conspicuous at all under the huge aircraft carrier, but it could slowly push the hull of the aircraft carrier away from the dock, half a meter, one meter, two meters...

As the hull left the pier, it turned slowly, with the bow facing the east, where a red sun was slowly rising, the golden sunlight flooded the entire land, and the water surface was also stained with a layer of gold.

On the ship island, Zhang Zhen was a little excited: "Attention everyone, four cars, one forward!" is no problem.)
The engineers got busy and turned on the switches of the various pipes. The surging water jetted to the steam generator of the boiler. The moment it touched the fins, the liquid water turned into high-temperature and high-pressure steam, and then along the pipes, it entered the steam turbine and drove the steam turbine. It rotates, then passes through the condenser, condenses into water and then enters the steam generator again, and the cycle repeats.

The steam turbine rotated happily, driving the huge propeller at the tail to rotate. Amidst the sound of rushing water, the 002-ton [-] aircraft carrier started to move under its own power for the first time!
Its acceleration was very slow, like an old man taking a leisurely walk. Seeing this, the people on the shore applauded again.

On the aircraft carrier, everyone took their positions and conducted various inspections.

"The drive shaft is well sealed!"

"The propellers turned normally and there was no additional vibration."

This is just a simple step forward, and there are many items to check. An aircraft carrier of a certain country turned off the propeller after sailing out, and some found that the propeller axis was not calibrated, resulting in excessive vibration, etc. These are all mistakes in the construction process.

The huge aircraft carrier slowly drove towards the sea. After walking for about half an hour, all the inspection items were finally completed. Zhang Zhen issued the second order: "Attention, advance two!"

The speed of the propeller increased, and the speed began to increase. Facing the strong sea wind and looking at the endless sea, everyone was excited, and they were looking forward to advancing five!
A nanny ship came up and followed the side of the aircraft carrier. This nanny ship transported a large number of parts. Once an accident occurs, it needs to be repaired immediately. In front of the aircraft carrier's route, a 054 frigate appeared. Vigilantly monitor the surrounding situation, ready to deal with any accidents.

The navy attaches great importance to this sea trial.

Qin Tao was in a good mood. When he accelerated to advance three times, he finally couldn't stay on the island: "I'll go down and see, and let me know when you test at full speed and full rudder."

This kind of smooth sailing is very safe on the deck, and it is even possible to hold a football match on the deck, except when the rudder is at full speed and full speed. In that case, the deck will quickly tilt to the outside. It is possible to be thrown into the sea.

Xu Zhengyang followed Qin Tao and came to the deck. Facing the strong sea wind, Qin Tao stood beside the catapult track with great interest, looking at the shiny track.

The outside is ordinary gray-black deck paint, but when it reaches the catapult, it turns into shiny stainless steel. On both sides of the slit of the catapult, there are one-meter-wide stainless steel protective covers with large rivets on them. Industrial beauty, in the center of the two guards, the slit is very narrow, and there is no sealing strip.

"If it is a steam catapult, it must be sealed with a filler strip or a zipper. That is because the piston is underneath, and it must be sealed to effectively use the energy of the steam and prevent leakage. In the slit of the electromagnetic catapult, there is a Ordinary trapezoidal shuttle runway, the electromagnetic ejection device below is completely separated from this runway." Ma Ming also followed behind Qin Tao, seeing Qin Tao looking at this slit, he immediately introduced: "In At the wasteland village base, our slit has been kept open all year round, and it has never failed, just blow it with high-pressure air every once in a while."

Qin Tao nodded: "In terms of maintainability, our electromagnetic catapult is far superior to the steam catapult. This kind of catapult is the greatest invention of this era!"

Qin Tao looked at the ejection traction slider again. It is very small and exposed on the deck. It can tow a drone of one or two tons, or a carrier-based aircraft of dozens of tons from the aircraft carrier. Its adaptability is very strong, and ordinary steam catapults are simply incomparable.

"After the sailing test of the hull is completed, the carrier-based aircraft test will begin." Delano also came out and looked at the catapult: "It is said that the first catapult to take off will be a drone, but As long as the first ejection is successful, the carrier-based aircraft can be ejected. I have already made a report. I will be the first to land on this aircraft carrier, and I will also be the first to take off from this aircraft carrier. No People dare to rob me."

Indeed, no one can compete with Delano for what he wants to do, because he is the instructor of all carrier-based aircraft pilots in the East, and even the instructor of instructors. In this era, qualifications are also important. Who If he dares to snatch it, he can call the other party a bloody sprinkler.

"Was it the J-32 that landed first, or the J-[-]?" Qin Tao asked curiously.

"J-32, after all, this kind of aircraft is a medium-sized aircraft. During the test, it will be tested slowly in order from light to heavy. After the J-32 test is completed, the J-600 will be tested. After the J-[-] test is completed, it will be the Air Police [-]. .”

Qin Tao's eyes lit up: "Air Police 600 is coming too?"

"Of course, this early warning aircraft has already completed all tests in Huangdi Village, and the radar and other systems have also been tested. We all agree that the take-off and landing characteristics of the Air Police 600 are the best, because the engine of this aircraft is too large. Powerful, the power far exceeds that of the E-2C early warning aircraft. This aircraft carrier will be equipped with an Air Police 600 squadron and four Air Police 600 aircraft. Its combat effectiveness will far exceed any previous aircraft carrier, even In my opinion, it is more powerful than the Kitty Hawk, after all, the Kitty Hawk does not have an electromagnetic catapult, and its dispatch efficiency cannot be compared with it."

The most unforgettable thing for the Orientals is the Kitty Hawk. This aircraft carrier has brought us too many bad memories. Now, our side finally has an aircraft carrier of the same type!
With the addition of Air Police 600, Dongfang's aircraft carrier formation finally made up for the last flaw, and has since become a powerful maritime steel Great Wall.

"Are there any other carrier-based aircraft?"

Delano thought for a while: "Currently, relevant units are developing J-[-] electronic warfare aircraft, which are still being tested, but in the future, they will definitely board our warships. In the establishment of our carrier-based air wing , there is an electronic warfare squadron."

The role of electronic warfare is very important, and it has been verified by many wars. Except for stealth aircraft, ordinary aircraft need the cooperation of electronic warfare aircraft when attacking. This can interfere with the opponent's radar and increase security for one's own side. coefficient.

Take the U.S. Navy as an example. It used an electronic warfare aircraft improved on the basis of the A-7 in the early days, expanding the two-person cabin to a four-person cabin. Except for one pilot, the others are electronic warfare operators. When attacking in large formations, they will fly with them to the left and right to carry out electromagnetic suppression.

Later, with the decommissioning of the A-7, the U.S. Navy improved the Super Hornet and turned it into the EA-18G "Growler" electronic jammer, which will continue to serve for decades.

What about domestic?
For a long time, there were no professional electronic warfare aircraft in China, and the electronic warfare aircraft modified with the body of a transport aircraft could not meet the needs of the carrier at all. The weight is small, the time to stay in the air is short, and it cannot cooperate with the Navy's fixed-wing aircraft. It is a tasteless existence.

Therefore, after the J-32 boarded the ship, they were thinking about developing corresponding electronic jammers. Even if the J-[-] was targeted by the navy, it did not affect the research and development of J-[-] electronic jammers. After all, electronic jammers need The external pod is just the weakness of the stealth machine.

At this time, after hearing about this electronic warfare aircraft, Qin Tao became interested: "What does this aircraft look like? Is it fully improved? Is there a bump on the vertical tail?"

The improved electronic warfare planes of the United States have a bulge on the vertical tail, and a special electronic warfare antenna is installed there, which looks very powerful. As for the domestic electronic warfare planes, it is not necessarily so.

"I don't know, probably not. This kind of electronic warfare plane should use more powerful electronic jamming pods on the wingtips. At the same time, it will also mount three sets of large electronic jamming pods under the wings and belly. , with these as the main force, but I don’t know if they will have their own generators like the U.S. Navy.”

The electronic pod needs a strong power supply, and the power supply capacity of the aircraft itself may not be enough. What should I do in this case?The U.S. Navy uses the simplest and crudest method: add a fan blade to the front of the pod. During the flight, the airflow will blow the blade, and then drive the generator inside to provide electricity to the entire pod. The advantage of this method is self-supplied power, which does not need to be provided by the carrier aircraft, and is easy to modify.However, this will definitely increase the flight resistance, which is equivalent to the engine jet, pushing the fighter forward, and also pushing the blades to rotate. This efficiency is definitely much lower than direct power generation.

What method is used in China is temporarily unknown, after all, he has never seen it before.

"If there are only electronic jamming pods, then this kind of jammer is meaningless." Qin Tao said.

Delano's eyes immediately brightened: "President Qin, do you have any other ideas?"

"Active phased array radar is also a very good means of electronic countermeasures. Therefore, this kind of electronic warfare aircraft should replace the original flat-panel gap radar with an active phased array radar. Even if the price rises a little, it is still acceptable. Yes." Qin Tao expressed his idea.

The function of active phased array radar is very powerful. It can scan in different areas, and can also concentrate radar waves to the same point. If the radiation power is strong enough, it can even burn through the opponent's electronic equipment. This is naturally a means of electronic countermeasures.

The price of this kind of radar is definitely still relatively high now, but for electronic warfare aircraft, it cannot be measured by price at all, it depends on the actual performance.

Delano nodded: "That's right, this kind of radar is relatively advanced and can be equipped. Considering the size of the nose of the J-[-], it should have a detection range of three to four hundred kilometers."

The Tomcat is about the same size as the J-9. When using the AWG-320 radar, it has a maximum detection distance of [-] kilometers. Although it only detects some large targets such as bombers, it is enough.

Now, with a more advanced active phased array radar, the detection distance will definitely be farther!
"Yes, we just need a radar with such a long detection range, and then combined with long-range air-to-air missiles, think about what a wonderful scene it will be."

Delano's eyes lit up: "You mean, deal with early warning aircraft?"

The early warning aircraft is a multiplier of air combat power, and it is also the target that the air forces of various countries try to deal with. If they can take the lead in destroying the enemy's early warning aircraft in air combat, they can make the enemy aircraft deaf and blind. However, how to deal with it is very difficult, after all The early warning aircraft is far away from the battlefield. In the safe area, the early warning aircraft also has a search distance of several hundred kilometers, which can detect approaching fighter planes in advance.

The old Maozi used the method of breaking ten thousand quickly, using the high-altitude and high-speed capabilities of the MiG-31 to approach the early warning aircraft. After the Yankees eliminated the Tomcat fighters, their fighters no longer have the ability to attack aircraft at altitudes above 31 meters. Well, the MiG-8000 can fly to an altitude of 2.8 meters, soar at a speed of Mach [-], get close to the American early warning aircraft, and then launch an attack.

It's absolutely impossible to fight.

However, the East does not have this kind of aircraft, nor does it have this kind of strike capability, so it has to be replaced.

The arrival of the J-2 electronic warfare aircraft with powerful electronic interference will greatly reduce the detection distance of the E-[-] early warning aircraft, for example, from [-] kilometers to [-] kilometers, so that the J-[-] can approach the target within [-] kilometers, and then use Carrying long-range air-to-air missiles to attack the early warning aircraft will definitely catch the opponent off guard.

This is a whole new way!

Thinking of this kind of scene, Delano felt his blood surging: "Mr. Qin, when you say this, I have an urge to pilot this electronic warfare aircraft myself, to dominate the air combat and kill the opponent's early warning aircraft. , this is equivalent to taking the enemy's general's head among thousands of armies, just like the overlord of Western Chu. Mr. Qin, I have always wanted to have an oriental name. I always had no inspiration before, but now I have it. How about just calling it Xiang De?"

Many people who come to the east will give themselves an oriental name, so that it is convenient to draw a line with the past self and start a new life, but Draenor and the others do not have it. The name of Draenor wild dogs has long been spread Well, the big guys usually respectfully call him Wild Dog Instructor, and discuss how crazy Mad Dog Instructor is behind their backs. Delano never thought about giving himself an oriental name, or thought about it, but didn't think it through.

This time it was different, he finally thought of a name for himself.

"Xiang De? Your name will be made fun of."

"What?"

"It's a beautiful idea."

When choosing a name, you must think of all kinds of homonyms, otherwise the child will be nicknamed by some mischievous guys from childhood to adulthood. Xiang De is not pleasant, and adding a beautiful word will change the meaning.

However, who would have thought that Draenor would not mind.

"Yes, I just want to be beautiful." Delano said: "No matter what I think, it is beautiful!"

Eastern and Western cultures are different. The East is reserved and reserved, while the West is exposed. It is like when an Oriental greets a female relative who has an improper relationship with another man. In the East, it is very shameful, but in the West, it means This female is very attractive!
Since Delano likes it, Qin Tao will not say anything.

The deck is getting windier.
