Chapter 162 Adults must want them all!
“Don’t do this.” Lin Xiao didn’t give him a chance to fish. "As the developer of Two-tailed Scorpion and Shunfeng Niubeng, you must say a few words."
Finished.
The noisy hangar suddenly became quieter.
Everyone present, except for a handful of leaders of the Air Force, didn’t know what the two young men here were doing.
Including personnel from both project teams.
But now, after hearing that Chen Chen was the developer of the Two-Tailed Scorpion, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Chen.
Now Chen Chen has to say it even if he doesn’t want to say it.
“I think the LK5000 has excellent learning performance and is capable of both sea and land use. It is the benchmark for comprehensive UAVs and a milestone in the aviation industry.”
“…”
Lin Xiao was completely speechless.
Is it human language?
Usually, this guy doesn't have any formality at all, and he always gets angry when he opens his mouth.
At the critical moment, let him come up with his opinions and suddenly say these dramatic words.
The ghost has become a spirit.
He doesn't want to offend anyone at all.
“But.”
Just when Lin Xiao was disappointed, Chen Chen changed the subject.
"Xiao Qi just had some opinions."
Qi Mang, who was standing aside, was confused at the time and kept pulling Chen Chen's sleeves to tell him not to say anything.
Lin Xiao was excited: "As long as you have an opinion, Xiao Qi, you dare to say it."
Lin Xiao: "Xiao Qi is shy, let me say it for him."
"Xiao Qi said The positioning of this aircraft is a bit wrong.”
“Carrier-based aircraft is a good idea, but which ship to board is a question.”
Liang Han was full of respect for Chen Chen. , humbly ask for advice: "If you want to board a ship, it will naturally be an aircraft carrier. What do you have in mind?"
"That's what I said, but teacher, we already have drones, why do we have to get on the aircraft carrier?"
After hearing this, Liang Hanben wanted to argue instinctively.
I was stunned for half a second.
He didn’t have the angle to open his mouth.
Chen Chen continued: "The only advantage of drones is that they are unmanned. Because there is no driver, we can choose various take-off methods without considering the driver's physical endurance."
"To put it bluntly, it's okay to light a rocket and send the plane into the sky."
"In that case, why do we still occupy the precious deck of the aircraft carrier?"
"Of course, these are all small things. Qi’s one-sided view.”
Xiao Qi on the side was about to cry.
I just asked if there were any programs tonight.
Who the hell said this?
But these words really made the leader of the argument fall into deep thought.
Whether it is Xiao Qi’s opinion or Chen Chen’s opinion.
This angle is completely new.
So Lin Xiao asked with great interest: "Go on."
"Aircraft carriers are the most important weapon of the country, so when we come up with something now, we all want to get on the aircraft carrier to increase its combat effectiveness."
"But there is one thing to say, if there is enough space for drones to be put on the ship, it will be okay. "
"But what if a drone lands on the ship and squeezes out the space of the carrier-based aircraft?"
"In addition, Xiao Qi feels that everyone's filter on the aircraft carrier is a bit serious. ”
“When aircraft carriers and cruisers were first born, everyone thought cruisers were more powerful, and some countries even vigorously developed cruisers with naval guns as the core.”
"Of course, they were wrong. We judged this from God's perspective."
"But what if they were right at the beginning?"
Qiao Yelin finished listening.
I have a new understanding of Chen Chen.
The knowledgeable living king of hell.
The battle between cruisers and aircraft carriers that Chen Chen mentioned happened almost a hundred years ago.
These two pieces of equipment were born at the same time.
The aviation faction focuses on the development of aircraft carriers based on aircraft.
The maritime faction wants to upgrade their naval guns as the main theme.
Everyone has his own reasons and choices.
From the perspective of that time, no one was right or wrong.
Lin Xiao nodded: "The aircraft carrier became truly powerful only after aviation technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and cruisers were slowly abandoned."
Seeing Lin Xiao follow the train of thought, Chen Chen felt It explained a lot: "Yes, what if drone technology develops to a certain extent and aircraft carriers are eliminated?"
"..."
There was another silence at the scene.
The only sounds were intermittent tuts.
After finally making a breakthrough in aircraft carrier technology, the Navy felt that it had stood up and was building aircraft carriers at the height of its power.
At this time, someone shouted that aircraft carriers should be eliminated.
Nature is very explosive.
“What Xiao Qi means is that drones have their own characteristics. When we consider boarding a ship, we should not accommodate the aircraft carrier, but the drones.”
"Choose a carrier-based platform that is more suitable for drones."
"Even create a carrier-based platform that belongs to drones."
"Judging from the current situation, amphibious assault ships or Is a cruiser more suitable for boarding? "
"Good point!" Lin Xiao suddenly figured it out. "I knew you had something, keep going!"
Chen Chen was a little stunned, thinking that I would stop here and there is nothing more to go on.
But seeing everyone's aroused interest, he couldn't let it down, so he continued to write.
“Most UAVs do not need a runway, which saves the deck.”
“UAVs have small space. If the layout is reasonable, they can even be placed on a shelf according to levels for launch. "
"To sum up, we can use small ships to launch drones by firing missiles."
"One ship prepares two or three launchers, one per second. Throw it into the sky.
"Isn't it more convenient and faster than the launch method of aircraft carrier-based aircraft?"
A picture suddenly appeared in Liang Han's mind. According to Chen Chen's idea, it was equivalent to replacing missiles with aircraft.
True.
Under these conditions, the drone does not need to board a traditional ship.
But specialized ships are needed to provide support.
"So you mean, we still need ships? This is not a matter in the aviation industry. We can't choose to have them all."
Before Chen Chen could speak.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly: "Who said you can't choose and want them all?"
The battle between cruisers and aircraft carriers was back then.
Some countries got on the wrong team and made the wrong bet, resulting in falling behind in the research and development of aircraft carriers and losing at the starting line.
This is like a talent point, which is limited by skill points and cannot be fully developed.
But the current situation of the rabbit is no longer limited by skill points.
The powerful industrial system is enough to support the full talent tree.
After thinking about this, Lin Xiao concluded.
"I understand what Xiao Chen means."
"UAVs have their own characteristics, and there are carrier-based modes suitable for UAVs. Aircraft carriers are not the optimal solution, but a temporary expedient."
“The current situation is definitely that drones have to adapt to the aircraft carrier.”
“But what if in the future, the tactical status of drones is greater than that of aircraft carriers?”
“Is it an aircraft carrier? Need to accommodate drones? ”
"So Mr. Liang, your LK5000 was considered to be put on the ship from the beginning, but it lost some of the advantages of the aircraft."
Liang Han was silent.
At first he wanted to raise the bar.
After all, everyone is angry that their project has been rejected from the very beginning.
But if you think about it according to Lin Xiao's thinking, there is no way to lift this argument.
You are right!
Can’t spray.
Lin Xiao turned to everyone present and said: "The problem Chen Chen mentioned is actually a strategic problem."
"The naval gun party chose cruisers because of technology and resources. Limited.”
“But now we have a strong and complete industrial system and unparalleled drone manufacturing technology.”
"We are adults who stand up, and adults must want everything."
"While developing aircraft carriers, we must also develop drones."
"In the future, drones will be strong. We choose drones; aircraft carriers are strong, so we choose aircraft carriers.”
“We have the confidence.”
“But for you aviation practitioners, Chen Chen’s suggestion is very pertinent. , the aircraft still has to focus on flying. The flight performance must be determined first, and then the carrier can be considered! ”
Chen Chen quickly stopped him: "It's not my suggestion, it's Xiao Qi's. I think Liang Gong and the others have done a great job."
Lin Xiao watched his performance quietly and did not reveal anything: "No matter whose suggestion it was, it was a good one. Deputy Director Liu, the discussion just now has been recorded and compiled into text. I want to give feedback to the superiors."
After experiencing the mediocre LK5000.
Lin Xiao felt that the biggest gain was this discussion about carrier-based aircraft.
This is the first time such a specific statement has appeared in the military.
Drones have developed to this point and have become a regular means of the Air Force.
Is it possible to cooperate with drones and introduce some auxiliary equipment, such as aircraft-carrying ships?
While talking.
LK5000 completed all tests and returned to the airport runway smoothly.
Then the next project team got into work.
Due to the lessons learned from the previous project and the presence of Wia in the demonstration team, the pressure on the team from the Aviation Industry Group increased sharply.
The selfless Lin Xiao is on the one hand.
Chen Chen and Qi Mang, who were standing beside him, were also on the same side.
Although these two are representatives of private enterprises, they came to watch the excitement.
But they are serious experts.
I have to say that Lin Xiao was extremely clever in inviting these two people to take care of his eyes.
At this time.
Lin Xiao was still immersed in the joy of the previous topic.
He kept asking around Chen Chen: "So if you were asked to do it, what kind of ship do you think the drone is suitable for?"
"A modified version similar to the cruiser, keep the original The ship’s electronic equipment is replaced, and then all the weapon spaces on the ship are replaced with drone launchers, which is probably an unmanned cruise carrier.”
Lin Xiao and Qiao Yelin looked at each other.
I immediately understood what Chen Chen meant.
Retaining electronic equipment means retaining electronic warfare capabilities, which can achieve information assurance and drone relay.
The removal of weapons and equipment does not mean that the fighter jets have been reduced.
UAVs can be attached to various types of aerial bombs and even missiles.
The strike will be more precise.
If equipped with undetectable drones, the ship will also have strategic missile strike capabilities.
However, the unmanned cruise carrier has air combat and reconnaissance projects that strategic missiles do not have.
Qiao Yelin thought about it for a while and then felt greedy: "Don't tell me, after Mr. Chen said this, this thing is really suitable for connecting sea and land and attacking cities."
"Also It has the ability to attack the sea, has scalpel-like strike accuracy, and also has reconnaissance and strategic support functions. It’s awesome.”
Lin Xiao has already thought about it and wants his superiors to write specific suggestions for documents.
Carry out similar project research and development.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Chen. "If this plan is implemented, do you think the aviation industry can keep up? How many years will it take?"
Chen Chen blurted out: "For military use, maybe three to five years. The aviation industry does not have a big problem. It mainly depends on shipbuilding. "
Qi Mang was looking at the little boss Feng Qingyundan with his arms folded, thinking that Commander Lin was about to be deceived.
yes.
The military version takes three to five years.
But.
The civilian version will be available tomorrow.
