Chapter 128 Copying the ‘Wasp’ amphibious assault ship! Damn it, who the hell needs a destroyer when there is an aircraft carrier?
Amphibious assault ship or amphibious assault ship.
It also has another well-known name "helicopter aircraft carrier", especially the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, which is the "leading star" of the Eagle Carrier in this field of ships. Its status is second only to aircraft carriers. Down.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the "second leader" of the Navy.
Many countries even use this kind of ship as an aircraft carrier.
Faced with this kind of 'temptation', how could Lu Ze resist it.
After taking a look at the people queuing in front, there were still dozens of people left before it was their turn to land on the Burke-class destroyer for a visit.
It seems that it is only one step away from boarding the ship, and it is also within easy reach to copy it.
However.
"No more waiting in line, let's go see the USS Wasp amphibious assault ship."
Lu Ze didn't hesitate at all. He immediately grabbed Lucy's hand and strode away among the crowd.
This so-called ‘Burke-class’ destroyer doesn’t matter if you don’t copy it!
"Okay." Lucy nodded.
Anyway, she had no objection at all to visiting that ship. Her main purpose was to see if there were any delicious food sold on the ship.
Lu Ze looked at the 'Burke-class destroyer' that was already drifting away, and just said silently in his heart: 'I'm sorry, I broke my promise! ’
‘I’ll copy you next time I get a chance, just wait for me! ’
After all, if there are amphibious assault ships that can be copied, who the hell would want a Burke-class destroyer?
The two are not on the same level at all!
Even if he puts the undeveloped 'Zumwalt-class destroyer' in front of him, Lu Ze may hesitate in his heart.
After all, even if it is a helicopter carrier, it is still an aircraft carrier after all!
Just looking at the tonnage data, you can tell that amphibious assault ships are not all steel monsters that can easily exceed 30,000 to 40,000 tons. If you call them a 'baby' aircraft carrier, there is no problem at all.
As for conventional destroyers, even the next-generation Yingjiang main 'Zum-class' destroyers, their full load tonnage is just over 10,000 tons.
In terms of tonnage alone, that's a huge win.
Regardless of cost, scarcity, technical content, etc., an amphibious assault ship is worth more than a Burke-class destroyer, which means that the reward for copying achievement points is also higher.
There is another most important point, that is.
'What's more, Daxia also needs amphibious assault ships. ’
‘Currently, the 075 project has not been approved, and this technology comes at the right time. ’ Lu Ze thought secretly.
Today's Daxia Navy needs amphibious assault ships more than anything else.
The so-called 'Burke-class' destroyers don't have much comparative value at all. No, they may not even be worthy of carrying shoes.
After all, there is no "Burke-class" destroyer. Daxia will be able to develop the 052D and the evolved version of the "aircraft carrier nightmare" 10,000-ton 055 in a few years.
And in terms of combat effectiveness, the 055 large drive developed by Daxia in a few years can knock Yingjiang's Burke-class destroyer to the ground. Copying this kind of destroyer is more of a reference, and it can improve the development plan of the 055 large drive. A little in advance.
But the amphibious assault ship is completely different. The later Type 075 amphibious assault ship of Daxia does not have a big gap between the two in terms of combat effectiveness.
There are even some shortcomings in terms of carrying capacity.
The coastal short-distance carrying attack capabilities and landing combat capabilities that this kind of warship can provide are currently most lacking in Daxia.
Coupled with this, Daxia has previously obtained the technology of all F-35 models, and Daxia is now fully capable of developing and building vertical take-off and landing fifth-generation fighter jets such as the F-35B.
This kind of fighter can also be deployed on amphibious assault ships.
This can be used as a small 'aircraft carrier' with a relatively short cruising range, and even the combat effectiveness it exerts may not be smaller than the 'Varyag' aircraft carrier that is being refitted.
'And I also have the 'Multiply Copy' permission. ’
‘It would be a shame not to copy this God-given opportunity! ’ Lu Ze’s eyes were shining with light.
After a while.
Following this dense crowd, Lu Ze and Lucy finally arrived at the other side of the port.
This is the temporary docking point of the USS Wasp amphibious assault ship.
However, the progress was obviously blocked by the nearly long queue, and the huge hull could only be vaguely seen.
"It is said that this time it will only be temporarily docked for two or three days."
Lucy looked at the information she found on her phone and said quietly: "Only today will be open for an eight-hour visit, which will end at about five o'clock in the afternoon."
After hearing this, Lu Ze nodded: "Okay, I understand."
There was still enough time. Looking at the people queuing in front of him, he judged that it would basically be around two o'clock in the afternoon before he could board the ship for a visit.
As the team continued to advance, its features were finally revealed to Lu Ze.
He overlooked the ship and sighed sincerely: "Is this the USS Wasp amphibious assault ship? It is indeed impressive."
The 'behemoth' in front of us, which is more than 250 meters long and has a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, can make everyone who gets close to it admire from the bottom of their hearts.
It is much more shocking than the British amphibious assault ship 'Ocean' and the French 'Mistral' class amphibious assault ship. After all, the tonnage of these two is only 20,000 tons of full load displacement, which is directly smaller. Fully doubled in size. Even the Type 075 amphibious assault ship of Daxia ten years later can only be on par with the 'Wasp' in terms of tonnage and performance.
While waiting in line, Lu Ze began to think wildly.
I muttered in my heart: 'But the Type 076 behind, that's not necessarily the case! ’
‘Those things are all built on the scale of an aircraft carrier’
The improved 076 amphibious assault ship that Daxia plans to develop in later generations even plans to be equipped with electromagnetic ejection!
Does a helicopter carrier need electromagnetic catapult? What kind of carrier-based aircraft is Daxia planning to use on this?
Even the displacement has reached an unprecedented level of more than 50,000 tons. As for how many tons are left, it is not certain.
If Daxia's usual style is followed, there may be an extra displacement of 10,000 to 20,000 tons.
After waiting for a long time, Lucy finished two bags of potato chips, a cup of milk tea and an ice cream stick.
The crowd finally reached the front of Lu Ze. After checking the bills and documents, the two of them walked into the USS Wasp amphibious assault ship unimpeded. ’
The deck on the landing has more than thousands of square meters, and even if there are thousands of people visiting here, it will not feel too crowded.
There are even hangars, cabins, landing bays, etc. arranged below the deck. If it is opened to accept tourists, even if tens of thousands of people visit at the same time, it will not be difficult for it.
After all, this behemoth requires thousands of crew members alone. As for the 'nuclear-powered aircraft carrier', it requires at least 5,000 crew members to operate at full speed. It is like a fortress base on the sea.
Gazing at the surrounding scenery, Lu Ze held Lucy with one hand and placed one hand gently on a metal shell on the main deck.
Counting down five seconds silently in my heart.
‘543’
After a moment, a message popped up on the virtual light curtain on the eyeball.
[Current technological item: Wasp-class ‘Wasp’ amphibious assault ship. 】
[Value achievement points: 100,000 points. 】
[Please choose whether to copy. 】
Seeing this reminder, Lu Ze suddenly felt happy: 'One hundred thousand points? There are so many! ? ’
Although he had been mentally prepared for it, the reward of so many copy achievement points was still a bit unexpected.
After all, this thing was built using the technology of the 1980s. As the first ship, the 'Wasp' had been in service for more than twenty years, and the technology used by the ship was also the most backward.
It can be said that its service life has passed half, and it is a well-known 'old baby'.
In this case, it can be worth 100,000 achievement points?
If the most advanced amphibious assault ship "Makin Island" is copied and is about to be put into service, wouldn't it cost at least 150,000, or even more than 200,000 achievement points?
Or is it the 'Eagle-class' amphibious assault ship that is significantly ahead in technology and cost? Wouldn't the achievement point reach an incredible level?
As for the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, how much is it? How many Ford-class aircraft carriers can there be? He couldn't even think about it.
Anyway, that must be a terrifying astronomical figure.
He shook his head and got rid of all these distracting thoughts.
‘Use the ‘Multiply Copy’ permission! ’ Lu Ze said secretly.
moment.
Several messages popped up on the light screen again, and a large list of rewards fell directly on Lu Ze's face.
[Current technological item: Wasp-class ‘Wasp’ amphibious assault ship, successfully copied! 】
[Ding, the ‘double copy’ permission is in effect, the number of copies has been cooled down for one month (natural month), and the number of copies has accumulated to 14 times! 】
[Congratulations to you for receiving the following rewards: 200,000 achievement points, 2 USS Wasp amphibious assault ship (already stored in the inventory), and a complete set of design drawings for the USS Wasp amphibious assault ship]
[Ding, get an additional technology reward of the same level: 'Pulse Capacitor Energy Storage' electromagnetic ejection technology. 】
Looking at the last reward, Lu Ze's eyes lit up: 'The reward for the same level of technology is actually this? ’
‘Isn’t this the electromagnetic ejection scheme used by Daxia in later generations? ’
The electromagnetic ejection used by Daxia on the No. 003 aircraft carrier used this 'pulse capacitor energy storage' technology.
Even the Type 076 amphibious assault ship is preparing to use this electromagnetic ejection technology.
suddenly.
An extremely bold idea came to Lu Ze's mind: "How about."
"Should I give this technology to Daxia now and arrange it directly for the 'Varyag' aircraft carrier?"
"Using this electromagnetic ejection technology more than ten years in advance?"
(PS: In fact, it should be called the ‘Wasp’ class, but the ‘Wasp’ class is more customary, and there is no difference between the two.)
