Chapter 381: It’s finally the Air Force’s turn to develop carrier-based aircraft
But it’s one thing to fully understand these technologies.
Trial and error, engineering manufacturing, repair and renewal is another matter entirely.
All of these require a lot of time.
Currently, the aircraft carrier has not yet entered the large-scale renewal process, and there is no certainty when it will be released. However, Su Dingping is already seriously considering the issue of aircraft carrier-based aircraft.
For a while, Liu Huaming and other navy chiefs felt that they were somewhat incompetent as chiefs. There were not as many people as Su Dingping who worked hard on technology in terms of the development of this kind of weapons and equipment. Naturally, they didn't think so. He is profound.
Actually, we can’t blame them.
It can only be said that the development of naval equipment is too rapid. Often they have just finished understanding a generation of warships, and a new generation comes out, and future warships have also entered scientific research.
Of course they cannot compare with people from the future like Su Dingping who have already seen through the future, not to mention that he knows the future development of Long Xia's navy, army and air force.
The chief of the Air Force on the side was extremely happy. Once Su Dingping developed a carrier-based aircraft, the Air Force would also benefit greatly.
Although he now wanted to know what the aircraft carrier-based aircraft looked like and how advanced it was, he finally held back and waited for the end of Su Dingping's research.
Seeing Su Dingping staring at the wreckage of the U2 reconnaissance plane so seriously, and rummaging around from time to time, everyone just stood aside and watched quietly.
No one spoke, for fear of disturbing his train of thought.
After continuously touching the wreckage of the Extremely Fast Large, Su Dingping set out again to the Military Industrial Illustration to forge air force fighters. The related technology of the U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft emerged in the virtual panel in his mind.
"The second generation high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft - U2, completeness (55%), note: cannot be upgraded yet!"
"Full version of hydraulic control resistance technology (analysis progress 43%, analysis time 189 days); full version of synthetic aperture radar technology (analysis progress 88%, analysis time 99 days); J57 turbojet engine technology complete version (analysis progress 43%, analysis time 99 days) Analysis time: 474 days); full version of resolution photography and multispectral analysis combined system technology (analysis progress: 68%, analysis time: 106 days) "
" Full version of interference metal foil technology (analysis progress: 88%). , analysis time 22 days); new aviation fuel technology analysis complete version (analysis progress 56%, analysis time 140 days); high-altitude pressurized suit technology complete version (analysis progress 45%, analysis time 138 days); high-altitude electronic reconnaissance technology complete version (analysis progress 76%, analysis time 201 days)..."
After staring at the various technical data on the virtual panel in his mind for a long time, Su Dingping couldn't help but sigh secretly.
High-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and warships belong to two completely different fields. Although there are some technical overlaps, most of the fields are completely new.
Even for him, who owns the virtual space of military illustrations, it is still a big challenge.
Therefore, even if there is a nearly 45% analysis progress bonus of touching the real object, the analysis time of the U2 reconnaissance aircraft will still take a long time.
But comparing it to another virtual panel in his mind, "The third-generation top-end version of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has a capacity of 150,000 tons. Note: it cannot be upgraded yet!", but Su Dingping breathed a sigh of relief.
“The 150,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is the real dream ship of the Longxia Navy.”
“As for the renewal of the Varyag, that only solves the problem of the aircraft carrier. No problem, let’s realize the Longxia tribe’s century-old aircraft carrier dream!”
“It seems that the renewal of the Varyag aircraft carrier needs to be accelerated.”
Su Dingping murmured to himself. He suddenly felt that the progress of the renewal of the Varyag aircraft carrier was a little slowed down. The research and development of Cheng Yiqiang's engineering team was really too slow.
Anyway, he has conquered almost all the core technologies and made detailed annotations, so it should not be too difficult.
But he still underestimated that these difficulties were indeed a bit high for Cheng Yiqiang and the others. What he did was completely counterproductive.
No matter how advanced the U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft is, it is still far behind compared with the third-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
In addition, he also discovered that in the virtual panel of the 10,000-ton drive, the 'not upgradable yet' button had changed to 'upgradeable'.
This also means that the 10,000-ton large drive can be upgraded to B state, and electromagnetic guns and laser weapons can be put on the ship.
However, he does not plan to continue upgrading for the time being.
For the current Longxia Navy, the 10,000-ton large-scale propeller, coupled with a group of 052Ds, can completely maintain the security of the sea area within a range of 1,500 kilometers.
As long as the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier comes out, the Longxia Navy will officially have the confidence to wrestle with the Eagle Tribe Navy.
A complete nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, equipped with a 10,000-ton engine, and a large number of 052Ds, plus some accompanying frigates, nuclear-powered submarines, and supply ships.
This is a complete aircraft carrier fleet. It will not be difficult at all to defeat the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet.
Of course, this is purely from a naval perspective, from the perspective of battleships.
Compared with the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet, the Longxia Navy still needs to develop a sufficient number of carrier-based aircraft and related production lines.
Su Dingping felt that the matter of natural upgrade could be analyzed slowly and there was no need to be so anxious.
After all, even if some technologies are upgraded now, there may be no way to implement them. It is too difficult.
After the basic model of the 10,000-ton large-scale drive is developed, the subsequent construction of ships will inevitably involve more new materials.
Material science still has very big shortcomings for the current Longxia tribe, especially after large-scale application, the gap will become even greater.
Su Dingping felt that what he had to do now was to use time in exchange for space.
In fact, breakthroughs in the field of new composite stealth materials are not that easy. Not to mention the Longxia Tribe, even the Eagle Tribe, which is far ahead on Blue Star, cannot do it. to large-scale industrial production.
This involves opening up the entire industry chain, and is not something that a single company can handle.
Even if you look around the world, no country has such a complete industrial chain, and neither does the Eagle Tribe.
The Nighthawk fighter jet of the Eagle Tribe was once said to be unshootable, but in the end, it was not shot down. As for the B2, which is known as the ghost bomber, it was quite boasted, but the high cost made the Eagle Tribe Such a wealthy country does not have much equipment.
If it is replaced by a warship, the cost will be higher. If it is ten times more expensive, there will be no problem at all.
Using blind spots monitored by radar can achieve a certain degree of stealth. The 052D and the 10,000-ton large drive can also achieve this. Although the directions are different, the effect is the same.
This is completely different from the stealth required by the next generation of warships.
Under the current technical conditions, the creation of optical stealth materials has left countless military factories scratching their heads, not to mention other more complex and advanced black technologies.
Meals need to be eaten in one bite and things need to be done bit by bit.
Su Dingping felt that no matter how ahead of his time or how impatient he was, he still had to consider the current scientific research environment of the entire Longxia tribe and the development level of the industry.
He cannot ignore reality in order to produce more ultra-modern armaments.
Military expenditures must be used wisely. At present, the overall military expenditure of the Longxia tribe is not high, and it will be even lower if it is allocated to the navy. He still needs to use it sparingly.
Taking a deep breath, Su Dingping suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart.
While thinking, a complete version of the U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft appeared in the forging space.
Looking carefully at the U2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, Su Dingping also secretly sighed. "The completeness of 55% is still a bit low, and the core technology has not yet been conquered."
"Especially this aero engine, which is the key point among the key points. No matter how difficult it is, it still needs to be solved." Do it.”
"Even if the core technology of the engine is slowly analyzed, testing the wind tunnel technology of the engine is still a huge trouble."
"Aero engines and warship engines are also two different fields, involving The related technologies are also different.”
“The only thing they have in common is probably that they are both gas turbines.”
Su Dingping stroked his chin with his right hand, thinking deeply, weighing the differences between the two. The difference is that we are also trying to find the balance point in the middle.
“It seems that it is necessary to build a complete large-scale wind tunnel laboratory in the virtual space of the military industrial illustration, so that various carrier-based aircraft can be tested in the future.”
"It would be great if we could also obtain a virtual panel that analyzes the core technology of large-scale wind tunnels, so that we can continuously upgrade and light up more advanced wind tunnels, so that we can obtain more advanced wind tunnel technology."
"Only Only with more advanced wind tunnel technology can we test more advanced engines. This is a technology that must be overcome."
Su Dingping has made up his mind to build one in the military illustration forging space when he has time. Large advanced wind tunnel laboratory.
Of course, the more advanced the better, not to mention that when it has developed to the stage of hypersonic missiles, it also needs a wind tunnel.
Of course, he is preparing to develop in the direction of the Air Force in the future.
For now, he feels that the Air Force has seriously slowed down the development of carrier-based aircraft, and it will be inevitable for him to go into battle personally.
No matter how advanced the aircraft carrier is, it is just a combat platform, and its combat effectiveness needs to be exerted through carrier-based aircraft!
At present, among the three armed forces, the Air Force has the biggest shortcomings.
Before the aircraft carrier is launched, there will still be a period of slow development. Once the aircraft carrier is launched, there will be no carrier-based aircraft available, and that will become Blue Star’s biggest joke!
Su Dingping would never allow this to happen, so he had to prepare in advance.
After all, the carrier-based fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, and transport aircraft on the aircraft carrier all belong to the air force field, and they can all communicate with each other in this regard.
Through carrier-based aircraft, it is also a very good choice to radiate to the Air Force!
Su Dingping decided to challenge.
Anyway, the first 10,000-ton cruise ship has been built. The next step is to train Sun Yongguo and other military experts to ensure that they can take on their own responsibility.
After the overall level of the military industry improved, large-scale construction began immediately.
The 10,000-ton large-scale warships are expensive to build and have many new technologies. Naturally, it is impossible to build thirty or forty ships like the 052D once construction begins.
This kind of iron fist, a specialized offensive weapon, is not in urgent need of the current Longxia Navy.
There is one boat, which is enough to last for a while.
The next step is to transform and upgrade subsequent batches of 052D and 054 frigates so that they can be well compatible with Haihongqi 901B.
After such operations, Long Xia Navy will have many warships capable of fighting at an altitude of 30KM.
Seeing that Su Dingping hadn't spoken for a long time, his brows were knitted tightly together, and he was standing motionless, Liu Huaming almost subconsciously thought that he was in trouble.
“Dingping, have you encountered any trouble?”
“You don’t need to worry too much about the carrier-based aircraft field. Take your time. After all, this is important to us. It is also a brand new field for the navy."
Liu Huaming asked with concern.
He knew that Su Dingping's head could never stop and was running rapidly. The fact that he had such a solemn expression proved how difficult this matter was.
"Yes, Dingping."
"We didn't even have an aircraft carrier before, we were just a guest. The navy is not yet mentally prepared to enter the field of carrier-based aircraft."
" We are not in a hurry for the time being."
Xu Dongguo on the side also tried to persuade him. He knew very well that as long as Su Dingping started to think about it, it would not take long for relevant engineering prototypes to appear.
The Navy still needs to digest the new warships and train more talents.
"Dingping, you should worry less now."
"Even if we want carrier-based aircraft, the navy and air force will work together to tackle the problem. Are we still afraid that we won't be able to overcome it?"
Besides Qian Wenbing also persuaded him that carrier-based aircraft alone would not be enough for the Navy. If the Air Force were to be involved, not only could the risks be shared, but a lot of military expenditures could also be obtained.
"Yes, Dingping, there is no need to be so stressed."
"We can combine more forces to conquer it, and the difficulty will definitely drop significantly."
Xiao Chongjun also tried to persuade him. He was really afraid that Su Dingping would fall into a technological dilemma and waste a lot of time.
With that extra time, it is better to use it to build advanced warships.
Hearing the words of his naval colleagues, the Air Force chief was very excited.
If we join forces with the Navy to develop carrier-based aircraft, then Su Dingping will definitely participate. The benefits will finally come to the Air Force, so we will take advantage.
Immediately, the Air Force chief said: "Yes, this problem is not big. Our joint research can definitely win it. You don't have to worry too much about Dingping."
After listening to everyone's persuasion, Su Dingping had retreated from the virtual space and smiled at everyone.
"Don't worry, chief, I'm really fine."
"Aircraft carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, I need to spend some time to study it carefully after I go back."
< br>Hearing this, Liu Huaming walked slowly to Su Dingping and looked at him very kindly. The more he looked at this young man, the more he liked him.
With him, there is no need to worry about the future equipment of Long Xia Navy. Anyway, one generation after another comes out.
Every piece of equipment that comes out is an epoch-making progress, directly raising the combat effectiveness of Longxia Navy to a higher level.
“Dingping, I have only one request, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
“Our navy is now in its second stage, and we can develop step by step. With such a With a 10,000-ton cruise ship, our maritime security will be more stable.”
