Warship of Great Power

"Why didn't you see Delano?" Qin Tao asked curiously.

Draenor usually likes to walk around on the deck, complacent, but it seems that he has not been seen recently.

"Arguing with Xiang Jing in the flight meeting room on the island." Wang Wei said helplessly, "I got a headache from hearing it, so I had to come out."

quarrel? Qin Tao became curious.

He knows Delano's character, he has always been very arrogant, and he will swear when he doesn't like it. It's also very normal, especially when landing, the pilot who hooked the first arresting wire will be scolded by him, and that's nothing to say.

However, Xiang Jing is not a pilot. When the early warning aircraft took off and landed in Huangdi Village, there was no electronic equipment behind it, and only the pilot had received the training of Draenor. Therefore, Xiang Jing and the others were not Draenor's apprentices. Not even Draenor.

It's just that they were about to quarrel, which made Qin Tao a little curious: "Draenor...what are Xiang De and Xiang Jing arguing about?"

He suddenly found it interesting, one named Xiang De and the other Xiang Jing. These two people argue, will there be sparks from the collision?

With this in mind, he left the deck. Anyway, there would be no problem with the supply test, it was just a formality, and he went to see what the two were arguing about.

If it is an aircraft carrier after delivery, no one else can enter the flight meeting room. This is where the pilots hold meetings, the problems in the usual carrier aircraft training, the scoring of the landing guide, and various exercises and tactical exchanges, etc. , are all carried out here, and it is also common to argue because of different opinions.

When Qin Tao went outside, he heard arguing inside.

"In modern warfare, the early warning aircraft plays a decisive role. Therefore, the pilots in front must listen to the command of the early warning aircraft. Only in this way can they better complete combat missions."

"No, no, the early warning aircraft is just an auxiliary force in the rear, to prevent our stealth aircraft from turning on the radar and exposing the target. The role of the stealth aircraft is to provide us with data through the data link. It belongs to the logistics support force. You are not qualified to order the pilots in front of us! "

In two simple sentences, the contradiction is clearly explained.

The air force in the East has always been used to fighting under the guidance of the ground. It can even be said that the pilots in the sky are puppets on strings, and they fight according to the instructions of the ground guidance.

Now that there is an early warning aircraft, it is equivalent to moving the radar station to the sky. Of course, we still have to listen to the guidance of the radar station. Of course, the early warning aircraft has to command fighter jets to fight.

Of course, Delano didn't agree with this concept. After all, he came from the West, where freedom is more advocated. Pilots are not puppets, but human beings, and human beings must exert their subjective initiative! The early warning aircraft in the back are just a substitute for their airborne radar, helping them perceive the airspace around them, nothing more.

The two have different ideas, and quarrels are inevitable.

What about Wang Wei?

Although Wang Wei is the captain of the carrier air wing, he has his own limitations after all. Listening to the argument between the two, he feels that both sides are reasonable. Whose plan is better? Wang Wei couldn't figure it out, so he had to fight, but he got a headache and had to go out.

There was no such problem before, because the 001 aircraft carrier only had ordinary carrier-based helicopters for early warning, which were only used to supplement low-altitude blind spots. Now it is the first time that the Navy has a professional carrier-based early warning aircraft, and it is also the first time that different fighters have been combined to fight together. , who listens to whom becomes a big problem.

Zhang Zhen couldn't participate either. After all, although Zhang Zhen was the captain, he couldn't fly and couldn't provide valuable advice.

In this way, neither side can convince the other, and they are in a stalemate.

When Qin Tao appeared at the door, Delano immediately beckoned: "Qin, come and tell them, isn't it very primitive and backward to use the conservative command method of the Red Empire era in the past? Shouldn't pilots play their role?" Subjectivity?"

Delano has been in the East for many years, and he can speak these Eastern words perfectly.

"President Qin, are you also a tactical researcher?" Xiang Jing was a little disbelieving.

"Of course, Zhang Zhong said that Mr. Qin planned the show, and he has a good understanding of tactics." Delano said, "You can doubt me, but you can't doubt Mr. Qin."

Qin Tao smiled: "I'm just passing by."

"No, Mr. Qin, there is no way here. How could you pass by? You came here on a special trip. Tell us who you support." Delano is sure that Mr. Qin will support him.

"I don't understand this either, but I know that practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

"That's right."

"So, when the aircraft carrier is in service, you will definitely participate in various exercises. During the exercises, can you get along well and make sure who is right?"

"Exercise? How long will we have to wait? We need to confirm it now!"

"Now, there is only one way."

"any solution?"

"Roll the dice to see who has the most points."

"Boss Qin, how can this be done? This doesn't comply with the regulations at all. Gambling is also prohibited in the army." Xiang Jing opened her eyes wide and looked at Qin Tao angrily.

"No, in many cases, people have to be selected in a similar way." Delano said: "For example, when carrying out dangerous tasks, everyone rushes to go. At this time, isn't it normal to use a similar lottery method to decide? How is it a gamble?"

"Hmph, strong words." Xiang Jing still refused to admit defeat.

"Nonsense."

"Cough cough." Wang Wei came back behind Qin Tao, coughed twice to attract attention, and then said: "President Qin is right, even if we are in the sea trial stage, we can conduct joint confrontation exercises with our brother units. We run in practice and find the best way. In the end, it is to win future wars. Now, let’s put aside this debate and discuss our next test. After the separate tests are over, we will use three catapults at the same time , to test the efficiency of the maximum attack, when the time comes, who will use the No. 1 catapult?"

"I!"

"I!"

Xiang Jing and Delano fought again.

Three planes, three catapults, all of which are exactly the same, so we have to fight over this, just because of the name of the No. 1 catapult? Wang Wei thought of Qin Tao's suggestion just now: "Then draw lots to decide."

The army is not a place for democracy, otherwise the chief will order his subordinates to charge, and the subordinates will vote with a show of hands? Those under his command will probably all object. If the aircraft carrier is already in service and the carrier air wing is fully staffed, then Wang Wei will definitely not indulge in this way. Just let him give the order directly, but now, you can still be a little bit Pamper it.

"I support it!" Delano was very happy. This method of drawing lots is to prove the correctness of his statement just now.

The results of the lottery will come out soon.

"Haipanzi uses ejection position No. 1, J-32 uses ejection position No. 2, and J-15 uses ejection position No. 3. Wild dog, which plane are you flying?"

"The test of J-15 taking off with a full load must be done by me, and the others don't matter." Delano said.

Xiang Jing glanced at Delano with complicated eyes. Although the two were arguing just now, Xiang Jing also had to admire Delano now. This man is very brave, and no matter what time it is, he always rushes to the forefront.

Carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing tests are risky. If the thrust is insufficient during take-off, it may fall into the sea. If it is not operated properly during landing, it may hit the deck and explode the ammunition it carries. The first one to do this This kind of test pilot, that is to write a suicide note.

"Everyone, the aircraft carrier has been resupplied. The captain hopes to start the next round of testing as soon as possible. I also ask the carrier air wing to arrange the latest takeoff and landing plan." At this moment, an officer ran over.

"Let's test the No. 1 and No. 2 ejection positions recently. After the simulated ejection, we will test the J-15 and Air Police 600." Wang Wei said.

The three planes took off at the same time. That was the last test, and it was also the grandest event. Now let the two catapults at the bow of the ship be run-in.

"These two catapults haven't been tested yet. This is the first test, and we need to dot the head." Delano said, looking down.

Wang Wei became vigilant in an instant: "Draenor, you can't think of me anymore!"

Delano nodded: "That's right, I really can't get your idea anymore, after all, I only brought two pairs."

His eyes continued to scan other people's shoes, and then stopped on a certain pair of little feet, it was you!

Xiang Jing's face was a bit ugly: "Draenor, what are you looking at?"

"Draenor, you can't do something outrageous to lesbians, or you'll be in big trouble." Wang Wei also hurriedly dissuaded her.

"Captain Wang, what are the wild dogs going to do?" Xiang Jing's face became even uglier.

"Ahem, I didn't do anything, I just want to hold a routine naval ceremony. When the catapult is used for the first time, it has to eject some special things." Delano said.

"Something special?"

"That's right, when the No. 3 catapult was used for the first time, the shoes worn by Team Wang were tied to the catapult by Draenor." A pilot next to him said, "This incident has already happened throughout our entire life." Word spread among the test team, just not within the Navy yet, that our catapult was tested for the first time and ejected a memorable pair of shoes."

"So? Draenor wants to eject my shoes?" Xiang Jing reacted.

"It is enough to hold this kind of ceremony once. It is a tradition, after all, it is also a tradition of the US Navy." Wang Wei said from the side.

"Okay, I can agree to catapult my shoes, but Draenor's shoes must also be put on it." Xiang Jing said: "Isn't there still two catapults that have not been used? Exactly one pair each. Draenor ,what do you think?"

Although Delano is the teacher of naval carrier-based aircraft pilots, Xiang Jing has not received his training. Now that he knows what Delano is going to do, he turns against the general. Don't you like doing this kind of thing? Then you come too.

"Xiang Jing, don't mess around with me!" Wang Wei continued to dissuade.

"I think it's feasible." Qin Tao said from the side: "It's also very interesting for two pairs of shoes to fly together. However, it can be added a little bit of fun. Whoever's shoes fly farthest will win, how about it?"

Xiang Jing was full of excitement.

My shoes are small and the resistance is small, so my shoes must be able to fly far. In this competition, I will definitely win!

"good!"

Wang Wei frowned, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, since you all have no objections, then I have nothing to say. We have sent two counterweight trolleys for this supply, and you hang your shoes on the counterweight trolley. Behind the heavy car."

The No. 3 catapult on the inclined deck was tested with a drone, and that was only because the test was rushed at that time. Now to continue the test, especially the heavy load test, a special counterweight trolley is needed.

Two hours later, the ejection area at the bow of the ship became busy.

Two red cars are fixed on the ejection slider, ready for ejection.

In fact, the test of the electromagnetic catapult should be a very complicated and scientific project.

First of all, after the construction is completed, it is necessary to conduct power-on and no-load tests. At this time, it is mainly to verify whether the catapult can work normally. The ejection slider actually gets stuck because of the slight rocking of the ship!

As a result, just such a problem has troubled them for several years.

After these tests are over, it is the load test, and the counterweight trolley is put on it for testing. After these tests are over, the carrier-based aircraft will be tested.

This catapult alone has plagued Ford-class aircraft carriers for many years.

However, Dongfang's technology is more advanced and the test is easier. During the mooring experiment, the test without counterweight has already been completed. When it is at sea, the ejection of the drone is light-loaded. Take off from catapult number three.

However, the J-32 is a medium-sized aircraft after all. Compared with the J-15, there is still a big difference in take-off weight. The risk of direct ejection with a full load is very high, and an ejection car is still needed to verify it.

"The trolley on the No. 1 ejection position is 36 tons, and the trolley on the No. 2 ejection position is 30 tons." Delano said: "I am a man, so I have to show some demeanor, so I use the trolley on the No. 1 ejection position." Bar."

Up to now, the two are still tangled on number one and number two.

Although the maximum take-off weight of the carrier-based aircraft is 33 tons, the catapult needs to have a certain margin, so the maximum ejection weight is set at 36 tons. However, Delano said that using the No. 1 catapult is definitely not Ladies first, show grace, just because of the number one.

Xiang Jing glanced at him: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

On the ship island, Zhang Zhen already knew about the competition between the two sides. However, it was just two pairs of shoes, and it was no big deal. It would not interfere with the test, so he acquiesced, and it might really become a tradition in the future.

"Okay, then if you lose in a while, don't deny it. By the way, what are the consequences of losing? Let me tell you first, I don't gamble."

"Whoever loses does twenty push-ups on the spot," Delano said.

"good!"

"Wait, can I make a suggestion?" Qin Tao said suddenly.

Everyone cast surprised eyes.

"Doing push-ups alone is too monotonous. The loser not only does push-ups, but also has another person riding on his back."

Wang Wei frowned. It doesn't matter if Delano loses, but what if Xiang Jing loses? As for Xiang Jing's small body, can he carry a big man like Draenor?

Just when he was hesitating, Xiang Jing nodded: "Okay!"

The ejection test, which was originally very ordinary, became more colorful because of this competition. Anyway, it was not a carrier-based aircraft taking off, and there was no danger. Soon, a group of people surrounded the deck, and everyone looked at the shoes hanging on the two red cars. .

They are all high-waisted pilot military boots with the same style but different sizes. After they are hung up, they will move forward with the catapult trolley and will be thrown out at the fastest speed. Whoever will fly further depends on luck. up.

According to previous experience, Delano tied up the boots, muttered a few words silently, and kissed the shoes, as if praying.

After finishing all this, Delano turned his head to look at the competitor, and was immediately amused. Xiang Jing actually put the two soles of the military boots together and tied them together. What effect would this have? A layman, must be a layman!

"Ejection ready!"

Each catapult is independent and has its own energy storage device. Just now, the aircraft carrier has completed the preparations for energy storage while it is moving forward.

If it is a catapult aircraft, the two catapults should be released alternately, so that the wings of the two aircraft may not touch when flying to the front, and at the same time, the airflow of each other disturbs the flight of the other party, but the catapult car is not needed.

"Start ejection!"

Whizzing!

The two cars accelerated together.

The 30-ton and 36-ton trolleys are moving forward with almost the same acceleration, and there is not much difference between them. After all, different tonnages are ejected, and the ejection force is adjusted differently. The big guy is staring at the two trolleys intently. Some people are counting.

"one hundred!"

"two hundred!"

"Two hundred and six!"

At this time, the catapult released its real strength!

For a carrier-based aircraft, under the condition of its own power and the thrust of the catapult, it can take off from the deck by accelerating to 2780 kilometers per hour. Now, the carrier-based aircraft does not need its own power, only the catapult You can accelerate the plane to this speed!

This means that the aircraft can be easily ejected even if the engine is not turned on, and it also means that the normal military thrust is sufficient, without afterburner, which can save a lot of fuel!

Dongfang's electromagnetic catapult is awesome!

"Oh, no!" At this moment, Draenor exclaimed: "How did this happen?"

The flight status of the two pairs of boots is different!

Delano's boots are already excellent, flying out with an arc, farther than last time, but what about Xiang Jing's boots? Actually gliding up!

The soles of the high-waisted boots become the fuselage of the aircraft, and the two waists become the wings of the aircraft. Although it is very simple, it can glide, so the flight distance is far longer than that of Draenor's boots!
