Warship of Great Power

"The Orientals are so abominable. They want to deliberately create pressure on us!" On the other side of the ocean, a group of people held information about the 150,000-ton aircraft carrier, and they were all very angry.

"Yeah, 150,000 tons, they really dare to think about it!"

"They think we are as easy to deceive as the old fools we used to be. Well, this strategic deception bureau only knows how to deceive!"

"Everyone, isn't this a good opportunity? We have another excuse to ask for more military spending. Those guys are really reluctant to increase our military budget. Now with this imminent threat, we need more This way, our F22 carrier-based aircraft and our new aircraft carrier can start construction as soon as possible!"

"That's right, we can't wait any longer!" Swift's face was gloomy: "Our CVN-21 aircraft carrier must start construction as soon as possible! Prove to the world that our US Navy has the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world!"

They have been considering future aircraft carriers since 1975. In the 1990s, they officially started the CVN-21 future aircraft carrier plan. However, due to the large number of advanced technologies on it, this brand-new aircraft carrier has always stayed in the PPT stage.

The CVN-77 they are currently manufacturing is equipped with some advanced technologies and is considered a verification ship, but the real aircraft carrier has not yet started construction.

Can't wait any longer!

Work must start immediately!

"However, the current progress of various projects is slow, especially the most critical electromagnetic catapult. The experimental results at the naval base are not ideal. If we start construction now, we may not have mature and reliable catapults available by then!"

"It will take four or five years to start building an aircraft carrier. With such a long time, can the technology of electromagnetic catapult be immature? If so, I will personally take those technicians to court. They are wasting taxpayers' money. Money!" Swift gritted his teeth and said: "Most of the 003 aircraft carrier in the East has been built, and we can all analyze that it will be a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with more advanced performance than our Nimitz class. Our aircraft carrier is already lagging behind and cannot be delayed any longer!"

"If we start construction now, we already have a lot of technical reserves." A person in charge said: "For example, in terms of power systems, we already selected Betis Nuclear Power Laboratory in 1999. Only two A1B nuclear reactors are needed to increase the output power by 25% compared to the Nimitz class. Moreover, our 13,500-volt ship-wide integrated power system has also been developed. The warship’s power system is complete, but considering stability issues, we have no plans to use all-electric propulsion for the time being.”

In recent years, the Americans have been studying the next generation of aircraft carriers and have accumulated a lot of technical reserves. The most important nuclear reactor has a brand-new model.

"Yes, our dual-band radar has been successfully developed and used on the DDG-1000. It can now be transplanted to our aircraft carriers. Our radar and other electronic equipment are no worse than Dongfang's!"

The guys talked about various technologies, and they seemed to be mature and more advanced than those in the East. But for some reason, Swift had a special feeling in her heart. In the past, would the guys compare like this? If we compare with Dongfang everywhere, it already means that we are at a disadvantage!

The British still want to compete with the East everywhere. In fact, even the United States cannot compare with it now!

Swift had mixed feelings.

"Should we expand the tonnage of the aircraft carrier to 150,000 tons?" At this moment, another voice sounded.

If the tonnage can be increased to 150,000 tons, it will surpass Dongfang. After all, Dongfang has only proposed this idea and has not yet taken action.

"No, absolutely not!" Swift shook his head repeatedly: "We have never had a design plan for a 150,000-ton aircraft carrier. Now we are starting from scratch, which will inevitably waste time."

At that time, the U.S. Navy made many design plans, including a 60,000-ton aircraft carrier with a single nuclear reactor, and a 120,000-ton aircraft carrier. There were many new and bold designs, but in the end, they decided to return to tradition and created The design plan is an enlarged version of the Nimitz class. For them, this is also the safest. Apart from moving the ship island to the rear, there are almost no major changes.

Now, the sudden increase in tonnage to fifteen tons means that many designs need to be restarted. For example, for power, two nuclear reactors are definitely not enough. We need three. What about steam turbines? The steam turbine cannot be changed, but the number can only be increased, from four-axis propulsion to five-axis or even six-axis propulsion? Just thinking about it is enough to make your head spin.

Therefore, the tonnage cannot be changed.

"That's right, no more changes can be made. All designs are frozen. We need to apply to the White House immediately and start construction! We also need to announce to the outside world immediately that our aircraft carrier is about to start construction!"

In this way, the new generation aircraft carrier was finally launched in a hurry. One day later, the US Navy officially announced the news to the outside world.

Facing countless cameras, Swift looked calm.

"I announce that the Navy is about to build the next generation of brand-new aircraft carriers. We have named the first one CVN-78. This aircraft carrier is the first aircraft carrier we have used computer-aided design. It has applied virtual imaging technology. During the design, It has been able to accurately simulate every detail, which is the most advanced design method in the world. At the same time, we have used a lot of new technologies on this aircraft carrier. Simply put, they include a new island and flight deck, a new power system, A power distribution system is adopted to meet our needs, and now I will introduce them separately. Our A1B nuclear reactor has a thermal power of up to 700 megawatts!"

Swift introduced it in detail, and he wanted to compare every system with the East to illustrate the advanced nature of the United States.

"Our carrier-based aircraft will be mainly modified versions of the F22. This will be the world's first heavy-duty fourth-generation stealth carrier-based aircraft. It will give our navy the most powerful combat capability. With the electromagnetic catapult, With cooperation, this kind of fighter can obtain more advanced interception capabilities than the Tomcat fighter!"

The United States' new generation aircraft carrier was launched in such a hurry. A few days later, the famous Newport News company began cutting the first steel plate.

What's so great about the Oriental's aircraft carrier is that it's only 100,000 tons. Our aircraft carrier is already 110,000 tons. We still have decades of experience in operating aircraft carriers and have the most advanced carrier-based aircraft in the world. Could it still be worse than the ones in the East?

They don't know how many pits are waiting for them inside.

East, the capital, Huilou courtyard.

The warm spring breeze blew in the small courtyard. Qin Tao and his father-in-law were playing chess under the big tree while chatting about the recent situation.

"As expected, the Americans have deployed the F22 on the aircraft carrier, and the construction of a new aircraft carrier is about to begin. This is really a new era coming."

"Of course, the Americans will find out how pitfalls the brand-new aircraft carrier has." Qin Tao said: "They rashly started construction before the electromagnetic catapult technology was mature. Even if it is ten years later, this aircraft carrier will not It won’t have combat effectiveness, and when the time comes, you won’t be able to change it to a steam catapult.”

Electromagnetic catapults need to lay cables, leave space to store energy storage devices, etc., while steam catapults need to lay pipes, etc. The two are different. Now that the Yankees have built an electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier, Then it is destined to be impossible to switch to steam catapults. By that time, they will be very painful.

"Are you so sure they're going to have trouble with their catapults?"

"Yes, Dad, we have horse workers in our country, which makes our aircraft carrier technology ahead of the United States. I'm not looking down on the Americans. They really won't be able to handle electromagnetic catapults in ten years."

"Yes, the development of our military technology depends on these scientific researchers. The Ma engineers are great!" Wu Shengli nodded: "The others are also great! Although the threat of F22 is great, we already have We have defeated twenty, so we still don’t have to be afraid of them. Fortunately, we are prepared for a rainy day! General!"

After saying that, Wu Shengli's horse took a step forward and stepped directly on the handsome man. He was blocked from both sides. Qin Tao looked at it and said, "Dad, you are still the best. You won this round again!"

"Dad!" At this moment, a little girl's voice rang outside. Qin Xue came home from kindergarten. Suddenly she saw Qin Tao and immediately ran into Qin Tao's arms and kissed him on the face several times. Qin Tao picked up Qin Xue and said, "Xue'er, were you good in the kindergarten today?"

"Of course Xue'er is good, but, Dad, there are always a few uncles in the kindergarten who look at me and make it boring to play with. Can you remove these uncles?"

"Of course not. Dad said that these uncles are here to protect you. You are very important to Dad... After the summer vacation, Dad will take you and your brother to ride horses on the grassland. How about it?"

"Okay, Dad, you can't go back on your word!"

"Of course not. When did you fail to fulfill what dad promised you?"

"Hook!"

"Hook!"

Wu Shengli lamented on the side that due to various reasons, Qin Tao's children are destined to not be able to grow up as freely as others. I don't know how many people are watching secretly, but the children will understand and they will definitely grow up!

Zhao Ling appeared behind her. Seeing Qin Tao making out with her daughter, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Xue'er, let's go in. Your father and grandpa still have something to talk about."

"Okay." Qin Xue said, jumping forward and walking inside, carrying a big schoolbag on her back with a small doll dangling from it.

"Xue'er, there doesn't seem to be a doll on your schoolbag, right?" Qin Tao asked.

"Yes, when I was in school today, I saw a stall selling them on the roadside. I liked it very much, so I begged my uncle to buy one for me."

"Well, can you give this doll of yours to Dad?"

"Of course. Dad, Xue'er is yours, and everything about Xue'er is yours."

Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao's face and then at the doll: "You mean, there might be something wrong with this thing. Isn't this just a coincidence?"

"Secretary Xu, take the instrument to check." Qin Tao said.

Without using anything else, he directly put the handheld metal detector on, and there was a beeping sound inside. So, Xu Zhengyang cut open the doll with a saber. Sure enough, a small circuit board, a camera, and a sound pickup appeared inside. head.

"Quick, bring someone immediately and arrest the stall keeper!" Wu Shengli looked serious.

"He should have run away. You can't find such a person." Qin Tao said: "However, the people who set up stalls like this are not necessarily coming for us. Check the children of other families in the compound to see if there are any. Those who have also bought such dolls, if so, check to see if their dolls also have eavesdropping devices.”

Xu Zhengyang quickly checked and came back half an hour later: "Three children in the compound bought them, but there was nothing in their dolls."

This shows what? People are indeed here for themselves!

"I have to dig three feet into the ground to find this guy and dig out the person behind him!" Wu Shengli said, "I'm going to make a call now."

Qin Tao looked at the cut doll in his hand and slowly tightened his grip. If he dared to target his precious daughter, then don't blame yourself for being rude!

"Zhengyang, call Wang Mazi."

At first, four people drove a tractor and went to Mingzhou Shipyard to steal things. Then, those people became Qin Tao's subordinates.

Some are already single-handed CEOs, such as Kong Laoer and Zhao Laosi, but some are unknown and seem to have disappeared. Among them is Wang Mazi.

Xu Zhengyang took out his mobile phone and found a call coming in.

"Wang Mazi called."

"Give me the phone."

Qin Tao pressed the answer button, and Wang Mazi's voice came from inside: "Secretary Xu, tell Mr. Qin that there was something wrong with the person who sold Qin Xue's dolls during the day. After he sold them, he closed the stall and ran away. Now he has gone to the north. I am planning to apply for a short-term passport to go to Damao."

"Well done!" Qin Tao's voice sounded: "Since we are going to Damao's side, we should go to Damao's side! Keep an eye on him, when we get there..."

Putting down his phone, Qin Tao let out a long breath. He must protect the people around him and never let any accidents happen to them. Fortunately, he has this ability!

Qin Tao looked at the doll in his hand again, and then said, "Secretary Xu, buy another one. It's exactly the same as this one. You can't let Xue'er know."

In the room, Qin Xue was lying on the window, pouting, looking at the situation outside.

Dad, Xueer knows that Xueer is wrong and will never buy random things again.

In fact, if it is something from a large shopping mall, there will be no problem. The key is that there is no way to trace the source of this kind of street stall, which is what arouses Qin Tao's vigilance.

As night fell, the family was having a lively meal in the room, with news programs playing on the TV.

"Now playing some international news, the South Kimchi Country announced today that it will develop a fourth-generation stealth fighter, named KF-21."

Kimchi Country wants to develop a new stealth fighter?

Wu Shengli couldn't help but look over. The TV was already LCD and the screen picture was very clear. However, there were only news reports and no graphics or videos.

"This Kimchi country is really awesome. They can actually develop their own stealth fighter jets. They are even better than Europe."

Europe is so awesome and can only produce three and a half generations of Typhoon fighter jets at most. It has no ability to develop stealth aircraft at all. They rushed to jointly develop it with the Americans, and then found that they were cheated and the development progress continued to be delayed. They had no choice but to do so. However, they They also knew how much it would cost to develop a brand new stealth machine, so no one said anything.

Now, the little-known South Kimchi Country wants to develop its own!

Qin Tao smiled and said: "The Anxi Kingdom can also develop stealth fighter jets. Of course the South Pickle Country wants to join in the fun."

Wu Shengli reacted instantly: "They are developing fighter jets and just changing their shells?"

"It goes without saying that at their level, it is difficult enough to develop a training aircraft, let alone develop a stealth fighter." Qin Tao said: "But with the Americans on their back, everything they do goes smoothly, and , now Americans are definitely willing to support them."

The aviation industry of the South Kimchi Country is not worth mentioning at all. Apart from a few propeller trainers, the only real jet aircraft is the T-50 trainer. The appearance of this trainer looks similar to the F-16. It's just that the air intake was changed to a two-rib air intake. During the design, Lockheed also helped. Even the engine is American F404, just like a smaller F-16. .

Of course, the purpose of the Kimchi Country manufacturing such a training aircraft was to allow pilots to better familiarize themselves with the F-16 as a transitional aircraft for flight change. However, due to its advanced performance, the Kimchi people quickly became interested. This aircraft was changed into a fighter jet, and the prefix was changed to FA.

The FA-50 is currently the most advanced fighter jet in South Korea. It made its first flight in 2002. In 2003, it received an order from its own air force. After that, it started exporting. Although its performance is mediocre, it is Successfully exported to many countries.

The success of this aircraft stimulated the Kimchi Country. Their confidence swelled again and they decided to keep up their efforts. This time they would go big and build a fourth-generation stealth aircraft!

Like last time, they continued to choose their old partner Lockheed Martin. After all, this company is the only company that has created the F22, which is currently the only heavy-duty stealth fighter in the Western world. Other projects are in difficulties.

When they come up with the KF-21, it also has a lot of shadows of the F22 in appearance. Of course, it cannot have the strength of the F22. After all, they can't get advanced technology. Take the engine as an example, that is, they will get an upgraded version of the F404. That is, F414 is still a mid-range recommendation. It has no supersonic cruise capability, no super maneuverability, and no advanced avionics. Apart from stealth, everything else is mediocre, but it is also a fourth-generation aircraft.

Thinking about the success of this aircraft, Qin Tao couldn't help but shake his head: "One of our domestic aviation companies should catch up, otherwise, even the South Kimchi Country will not be able to compare!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Tao sighed, hating that iron cannot become steel.
