Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

The introduction of 'positron' energy and 'positron' weapons onto ships has become inevitable.

It is worth discussing, that is, what type of weapons should be used.

...Now even this problem has been solved.

Then there are only some details left in front of everyone that need to be determined.

Even if it is limited to the range of 'less than 10,000 tons', there are still many types of ships that can be considered.

Even if we continue to use the 'Hurricane' design and cross out the 'high-speed destroyer',

These are only two types, why should there be more?

"Is there any way to build an aircraft-carrying cruiser within the 10,000-ton level?"

Su Wen looked at Akashi and Yubari,

In terms of hull engineering, he still had to consult professionals.

"It doesn't need to have a too high carrying capacity, as long as it can meet the take-off and landing needs and provide an aviation platform for the fleet."

Although he says every day that he is a big ship and artillery person,

But in fact, as a philanthropic industrialist,

Whether it's artillery or aircraft carriers, Su Wen likes them all.

The development path of the modern navy has revealed the importance of the 'aircraft carrier maneuver combat doctrine' to all human civilization.

Now comes the interstellar age...

Even if the gunboat line is re-strengthened, it does not mean that Su Wen can reverse the trend of the times and climb the gunboat line instead of the aircraft carrier line.

When I played in the Sea of ​​Wolves before, there were really no conditions.

After all, it would be a bit too sensational for a bunch of two-thousand-ton boats to be equipped with carrier-based aircraft.

But later when he started to launch tens of thousands of tons of capital ships, he immediately decided on the 'Glorious' class and the 'Legion' class.

Now...in the solar system, there will be a new shipbuilding base focusing on 'relatively light types of ships'.

The types of warships built here are undoubtedly different from those in the empire.

The limitation in tonnage prevents them from covering everything like a battleship.

Su Wen was wondering... could he write more articles to emphasize different functions?

10,000-ton class, small is a little too small, and it is a relatively light heavy cruiser with an incredible tonnage.

But if we don’t consider artillery battles and remove the large-caliber main guns,

In addition to shields and armor, it is only equipped with a point defense system or one or two small-caliber naval guns to protect itself.

Based on this premise, it should be no problem to stuff a hangar and a flight deck... right?

"Aircraft carrier cruiser..."

"Theoretically, it can be achieved."

Akashi was a little confused, but he still answered dutifully.

Isn't it just a smaller escort aircraft carrier?

The functionality of the aircraft carrier is there after all.

As long as the emphasis is on aircraft-based combat, no matter what size the hull is, the internal structure is basically the same.

Unless we have to do something worse and blindly change the structure, so as to reduce the take-off and landing efficiency of fighter planes,

Otherwise, no matter what the tonnage, it is basically a thin-skinned and large-filled dumpling 'dedicated to serving the hangar and flight deck'.

"There is no need to talk about an aircraft-carrying cruiser. Just design it according to the standards of a light escort aircraft carrier,"

Then she added,

“The commander’s thoughts are somewhat universal.

As far as we know, the Fijian civilization has this kind of light escort aircraft carrier with a few thousand tons and less than 10,000 tons.

Moreover, it is very easy to use and is widely used in their army. "

"That, that's different,"

Su Wen knew what she was talking about,

He has also read the technical information on the Fei family's light escort aircraft carrier.

I can only say that the design ideas are similar, but they have little reference value for his needs.

"He is the eternal eldest father, and he is different from those from a small sect like us.

It was equipped with a 'space compressor depot'. The number of aircraft carried by a small ship of less than 10,000 tons is almost as much as that of a regular aircraft carrier of 50,000 tons...

...Except for their gang of big bucks who don’t regard cutting-edge equipment as money, I can’t think of any other civilization that is rich enough to open up and use that stuff like a commodity..."

Not to mention it was okay, but Su Wen couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he mentioned this.

Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge will know that the combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier is largely determined by the number of aircraft it carries.

If an aircraft carrier is compared to a person, then the fighter planes it carries are his fists.

Everyone understands that two fists are no match for four hands.

If the 10,000-ton light escort aircraft carrier envisaged by Su Wen is regarded as a 'double fist'.

So, the same type of product equipped with a 'space compressor library' from Fizu...

Not to mention Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, at least it is at the level of three heads and six arms.

Eternal Daddy is Eternal Daddy.

No matter how slim the crotch is, the Eternal Empire cannot be compared to ordinary civilizations.

When Su Wen thought about these wealthy individuals who were so wealthy that they installed 'space compression/space distortion equipment' on a mere 10,000-ton light escort aircraft carrier, he felt that his liver was so angry that it ached.

There is no justice.

...It’s great to have money!

So what if you have money?

It was so wasteful to put this big treasure on the mass-produced light aircraft carrier. The appearance of the nouveau riche is really disgusting!

Helena looked at the commander who looked aggrieved,

He wants to speak but stops, he stops talking but he desires again.

"actually..."

"Commander, from the Life Ark we obtained last time, we found many references related to the 'space distortion technology' you just mentioned,"

"For example, those 'space bridges' installed in the Life Ark...have you forgotten it?"

"His Majesty's civilization, its technical strength in this field of science and technology is obviously at its peak,"

Helena added carefully,

"Their creations can greatly inspire our research in this field."

"The 'Glorious' class and 'Legion' class that have already started construction are probably no longer needed.

It is estimated that it is unlikely to be equipped with a 10,000-ton light escort aircraft carrier.

But if things go well, we might also hope to equip the next-generation aircraft carrier with a 'space compressor depot'..."

Her speech was already extremely tactful.

In fact, the core meaning is also very obvious: not only the nouveau riche can do this, let's not accidentally get ourselves scolded...

"Huh? Is there such a good thing?"

Su Wen was shocked,

"Let me just say, sooner or later we have to find a way to get something as good as 'space distortion technology'."

"I didn't expect you to move so quickly... Very good, I already thought the regular hangar was boring!"

"..."

..

..

No matter Su Wen likes this thing or not.

In a short period of time, it will not be able to board the ship.

Su Wen also understood this.

The 'Glorious' class and the 'Legion' class have not yet been launched, but they have been finalized.

Cannot be modified.

The new batch of mass-produced ships that are planning to be proposed are generally smaller in tonnage and are not worthy of such a good thing.

In addition, they have just started reverse engineering, so they won't be able to use it for the time being.

but...

He doesn't mind whether he uses it now or not.

As long as it's 'can be had', that's a good thing.

"The matter of the new space compressor depot can be put aside for a while, and then discussed again when the next generation of main aircraft carriers needs to be proposed,"

Su Wen stopped joking and said seriously, "I understand what you mean.

This batch of 10,000-ton light escort aircraft carriers needs to be built in the solar system. Of course, the cheaper the cost and the simpler the process, the better. There is no need to use that thing to force it up, otherwise it will become a small horse-drawn cart. . "

“My idea is that in addition to further optimizing the internal structure of the ship body, squeezing the space of several other subsystems as much as possible, and improving space utilization to expand the hangar capacity,

We now have a stable supply of positronium and can produce new, smaller and more efficient T4 positronium reactors.

Is it possible to start from here and try to use the positron reactor to design a new generation of conventional carrier-based aircraft in a smaller size and with a high energy conversion rate that far exceeds that of a cold nuclear fusion reactor? "

"After all, you have seen it too,

Compared with the three Cube-capable carrier-based aircraft on the Glory class,

At the corps level, we still have the same old stuff.

At most, there are one or two modifications, but generally there is no technological breakthrough. "

"I hope that after the new positron reactor is put into use, we can get a more powerful and more suppressive design of a new carrier-based aircraft,"

Su Wen made a request,

"The tonnage of our escort aircraft carrier is indeed a bit low.

This is circumstantial and there is no solution.

But if a wave of upgrades are carried out on carrier-based aircraft, will it have higher advantages? "

"And, to take a step back,

Even if we do not consider the combat effectiveness of these light escort aircraft carriers equipped with new carrier-based aircraft when they form a single formation,

After they are combined with another heavy thunder cruiser that we envision, will there be an effect of one plus one being greater than two? "
