There are two types of air cushion ships.

One is a full pad lift that uses air propellers to advance and propellers to back over the hull of the ship.

This type of air cushion vessel is commonly used on small and medium-sized vessels and, since it does not have any power at the bottom of the hull, it can travel short distances in swamps, shallow water, ice and even sand and mud.

The advantage of this construction is that it can grab a beach landing and is suitable for military use.

But because propellers don't come into contact with water, the power is wasted heavily, the range is short, and the speed usually does not exceed fifty knots.

Another sidewall type adopted by the humpback whale relies on liftable metal sidewalls to prevent air escape, minimizing the area of contact between the hull and the water, and the hull relies on propellers to advance in contact with the water.

This structure cannot grab beaches, let alone drive in swamps or mud.

This structure, however, is well suited to large ships, while the propellers are in contact with water, which greatly reduces power consumption, both in speed and in range, well beyond the former. However, the technical difficulty of this structure is considerable, and there are currently no examples of countries producing more than 2,000 tons of ships.

In the cockpit, two metal experts stand in the power console position.

As Ye Qing ordered, the two sub-electromagnetic engines of the humpback whale were activated. Below the water line, two fully powered sprinkler thrusters at the bottom of the hull slowly pushed the humpback whale out of the sealed platform.

The humpback whale, which carries 20,000 tons of cargo, carries an extraordinary amount of noise, even if it slows down. At one time, the inside waves of the boat deck rolled over and the turbulence splashed.

When the humpback whale disappeared completely from the platform and entered the ocean, it was not clear whether the heavens and the earth were trembling for it or whether the thunderstorms in the weather forecast were late.

Anyway, at the end of Longxi Bay, there was a sudden lightning bolt across the heavens and the earth when it fell, and after a few decades, the thunder rolled in.

A Mountain Sea Testimony, accompanied by a rolling thunder, was delivered in the cockpit.

Through the rendering of the Dolbitt sound effect, this small number of songs by Xu Jingu, especially the atmospheric pound song, in front of the field of view lightning intersects the night sea with the mountain stone, giving Ye Qing an unspeakable mood.

“Qingshan vowed that the sea would be with him. ”

“Is it ever the same at this time...”

“Bai Yunyu walks, the river is long...”

“Boom Lung ~”

Another thunderbolt, Ye Qinghao Mai laughed, “Target high seas, out of Longxi beach back full speed forward. ”

“Yes, boss.” The metal expert flew quickly to enter a series of commands on the console, and the next moment, the original half-arced starboard glass in front of him suddenly changed its appearance.

They went from colorless to light green.

Standing in the cockpit and looking past, the pitch-black skies outside the starboard windows changed color. It is similar to green under night vision, but its imaging is extremely clear, with no difference between ripples rolled over the sea or dotted reefs showing their heads in the daytime.

This is a laser night vision system that is farther visible than the current mainstream microlight night vision and works properly even in environments where there are no light sources at all.

There are more than images in front of the windowsill, and the left and right sides provide both side and tail images of the humpback whale, as well as automatic target recognition and heat source detection.

As the sea sky flashed through the third thunderstorm, the humpback whale had left Longxi Bay along its course.

In front is a vast ocean with an infinite view, and the sky is filled with lightning.

At this moment, two main electromagnetic engines exploded instantly.

What is the concept of a single 200,000-kW electromagnetic engine?

For example, in Nimitz, the largest air carrier, the Bush, has a total power of 270,000 kilowatts, but this is only the power of the nuclear reactor. After the two-circuit water is heated, some of the power needs to be generated, and the rest is imported into the gas turbine, driving the turbine to rotate, the turbine then transmits power to the turbine, the turbine then drives the propeller.

Mechanical work will inevitably result in power loss. At the same time, the large turbine sets must be progressive at start-up.

The cockpit conveys a full-speed forward command, which feeds back to the turbine set. First, the steam injected into the gas turbine will gradually increase, and the turbine speed will increase, so that more power can be transferred to the propeller through the turbine.

Ultimately, it takes three to five minutes for the ship to reach its maximum speed. At the same time, the propeller burst is powered by an inability to exceed 200,000 kilowatts of power.

And the electromagnetic engine?

It is fully electrically driven and the nuclear reactor drives the ultra-supercritical unit. The unit is only used to generate electricity, from the stationary state to the maximum speed at which the electromagnetic engine explodes, in just two seconds.

Ultra-supercritical units can achieve power output balance even when in a low power operating state and at full speed, only two minutes of reserve power support are required.

Two 200,000-kilowatt electromagnetic engines exploded simultaneously, leaving the Whale behind a fairly stable wave, suddenly as if it had been dropped into a row of deep water bombs. The waves erupted dozens of stories high, and the humpback of the Whale suddenly injected a powerful airflow into the transmission.

The airflow separates the flat hull from the sea, which is compressed by the weight of the humpback whale itself into a thin stream of high-pressure air that escapes and lifts more of the hull, while attempting to pass towards the outside.

However, a layer of flexible metal sidewalls rising from the bottom of the humpback whale prevented the passage of these high-pressure air.

Within two seconds, the two main electromagnetic engines accelerated from a stationary state to 30,000 rpm, driving the tail two fully powered sprinkler thrusters, blowing up the waves, while the humpback whale was like a super sports car with ejection start mode on, instantly disengaged.

At this moment, Ye Qing felt that the entire heavens and earth, every cell in the body, were following the huge noise made by the electromagnetic engine.

Even if Ye Qing had already sat on a seat with mechanical shock absorption and held himself securely in a seat belt, Ye Qing had the illusion of being on Shenzhou No. 5 rocket.

The humpback sped from ten knots to one hundred and thirty knots, in only ten seconds. If you switch to kilometers, you're up to 240 miles an hour in 10 seconds.

Huge thrust pushed Ye Qing firmly against the back of the chair. Ye Qing had difficulty turning his eyes. He saw two metal experts firmly in place like metal piles. He also saw the percentage electronic power dial, and the output power rating was 62%.

This is the maximum normal sailing speed of the humpback whale, but not its maximum output power.

After full load, at this speed, is its maximum output power and cruise speed, which it can maintain for a long time.

There's no way, who put it in a nuclear power reactor?

In a short period of time, the humpback whale will still soar, although that will severely wear off the sprinkler propulsion.

In 130 knots of speed mode, after half a minute, the discomfort in Ye Qing disappeared.

Meanwhile, the sea level is still calm and the humpback whale has remained fairly stable for most of the boat's hull since it entered full cruise. However, the noise emitted by the sprinkler is particularly loud. If there is a ship nearby, the people on board will definitely feel the rush of 10,000 horses when visiting the river dam.

At this time, don't even think about enjoying the ocean in your cabin.

Ye Qing's physique. As soon as he leaves the hatch, he will be blown to the sky by the wind coming in front of him.

Sound noise in the cockpit is isolated to an incredible degree, and only occasionally can the humpback whale be detected at short distances over waves at high speeds.

In pitch darkness, the humpback whale is like an arrow off a string, flanked by a sea sweep.

Once in a while, a flash of lightning broke through the sky in order to be seen, and there was no trace of the humpback whale emanating from any visible light.

Ye Qing listened to one song after another, feeling the stimulus of strength and speed.

When, suddenly, heavy rain struck the humpback whale.

Heavy rain, like countless arrows, cannot shake the humpback whale.

The specially modified Automatic Vessel Recognition System continues to operate, marking vessels within 20 nautical miles of the humpback whale and searching for nearby targets by ship radar. Electronic charts constantly indicate the location of the humpback whale according to its course and inertia.

Modern ships use GPS navigation, but the humpback does not.

On the electronic chart, the humpback whale dodged the commercial channel and moved straight forward.

Whatever's ahead of it.
