Red Alert Somalia

After the construction of the submarine was finished, Li Lan turned his attention to the other two units, the two units that had made him somewhat retreat.

On the aircraft carrier construction list, he can currently build two types, one is the conventionally-powered aircraft carrier in the current naval unit, and the other is the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Because of funding, Li Lan directly chose to build a conventionally powered aircraft carrier in order to make the navy become combat effective as soon as possible. Now, the navy’s construction work has begun to decrease. Compared with the original form of building everything, it has a very basic form. change.

Starting from scratch, not only an aircraft carrier but also supporting ships are required. Now there are basically all supporting warships. It is time to consider building some high-value units.So now his eyes are on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

This is the second-level aircraft carrier given by the base and the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the base. Compared with the first-level conventionally-powered aircraft carrier, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is naturally much better.Of course, the price and construction time are also much higher.

Nuclear-powered aircraft carrier: the main navy surface warship, the construction price of the ship-400 million base funds, construction to service time-1.5 years.(750,000 consumed per day)

Explanation: This is the second of the three aircraft carrier levels and belongs to nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.……All-electric propulsion and stealth design,……

Special Note:……

Simple data: The full load displacement is 105,000 tons, the nuclear power has a maximum speed of 32 knots, two electromagnetic ejection devices on the right-angle and diagonal decks, four arresting cables and one arresting net on the diagonal deck, and four elevators.The ship has 4,500 personnel.(100 people less than conventional power)

Standard configuration: 76 fighter jets, 8 anti-submarine aircraft, and 5 electronic warfare aircraft.5 fixed-wing early warning aircraft, 6 helicopters, and 12 drones.

Armament: Four eight-unit vertical launch systems,...

Electronic equipment: 3d phased array radar system,...

Recommendation: The core force of naval deterrence is the most powerful proof of the navy of a major power. This sentence can be applied at least for the next 50 years.

This is the last ship with performance no less than the US Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, that is, the Bush that was destroyed by the Red Police Corps with ballistic missiles.Had it not been for the cost of 400 million yuan that made Li Lan stay away, he would not have chosen to build a conventionally powered aircraft carrier.

Now the shipyard lacks space for the construction of Aegis ships and destroyers.With a lot more funds available, and in order to improve the combat capability of the Red Police Corps, Li Lan looked at this type of warship.

After a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is refueled at one time, it can sail continuously for more than 1 million nautical miles, which means it can span the earth 50 times.In theory, it has unlimited battery life.The reason why nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have great deterrence lies in their strong endurance and mobility.Because its navigation area is unlimited.In addition.Due to the use of nuclear power, space can be saved to carry more aviation fuel and ammunition. Since turbines are not used, the crew’s living conditions have been greatly improved. For example, unlimited electric power can be used for seawater desalination. Can take a hot bath.Improve crew comfort.It is to improve the combat effectiveness of warships. This has already been concluded on the relationship between warships and soldiers.

Compared with the first-level aircraft carrier of the base, the second-level aircraft carrier is different in the power system.But it is the difference in the power system that makes a huge difference.First of all, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers can at least get rid of their own fuel consumption.For example, the current aircraft carrier in Russia will consume half of the fuel inventory of the entire fleet at one time. This will have a greater impact in wartime!

Secondly, the power of nuclear power is higher than that of ordinary power. While providing high speed for itself, it can also provide better and more powerful steam power for the ejection system.Secondly, since there is no need to carry fuel, more space can be set aside for the aircraft to load fuel, weapons and ammunition.

Although the construction cost is more than 250 million yuan more expensive than the first level of base funds, a single nuclear power is enough to close the price gap, not to mention that the electromagnetic catapult used on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is an electromagnetic catapult. The cost of construction, the difference of 250 million base funds, is even more trivial.

If it weren't for the price of this guy at the beginning, in order to develop the navy in an all-round way, Li Lan would have directly built a second-level nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.Fortunately, his choice was correct at the beginning. Otherwise, relying on this aircraft carrier would be able to match the price of an aircraft carrier battle group. At that time, Li Lan absolutely could not offer two aircraft carrier battle groups. In terms of combat effectiveness, he directly chose nuclear The motivation is much weaker.

As for the third-level aircraft carrier, Li Lan has not seen any signs of it. The second-level is already advanced enough. Although it is not as advanced as the latest Ford-level in the United States in many aspects, it can already overwhelm the Nimitz-level. One end.

Just an electromagnetic ejection is good. If combined with the principle that the base products must be excellent, then such an aircraft carrier is definitely worth one and a half of the Nimitz aircraft carrier.

As we all know, electromagnetic ejection has more advantages than steam ejection.

The maximum overload of the steam catapult launch can reach 6g, and the average acceleration of the entire journey is only a little over 2g. The ridicule catapult produced by the pilots of carrier-based aircraft often does not accelerate as fast as the aircraft's own engine in the rear stage.With the increase in speed and cylinder volume, most of the energy in the expansion of superheated steam is used for the acceleration and promotion of the steam itself, and the proportion of steam required for gas expansion after the increase in volume increases in a square relationship.The length and cylinder volume of the current steam catapult have almost reached the limit. At the end of the ejection stroke, steam basically can only accelerate the piston, which is of little help to the aircraft.

The thrust start stage of the electromagnetic catapult does not have the sudden explosive impact of steam, and the peak overload can be reduced from 6g to 3g. This not only has a huge benefit to the structure and life of the aircraft, but also a good improvement to the pilot's physical endurance.In addition, because the acceleration of the electromagnetic ejection has nothing to do with the length of the ejector, except for the influence of aerodynamic resistance and frictional resistance, the basic acceleration from the beginning to the end of the ejection will not fluctuate too much, which is gradually lower than that of the steam ejection. Come more efficiently.According to calculations, when the average acceleration is the same, the electromagnetic catapult can make the aircraft more load 8?

Another important benefit is that the electromagnetic catapult has a large energy output adjustment range.The power output of the steam catapult relies on a thing called a rate valve, which controls the power output of the catapult by controlling the steam flow. The mechanical adjustable performance output reaches 1:6, which is almost the limit.The power output of the electromagnetic ejection is controlled by the circuit system. From the experience of high-power civil power transformation, it can be known that the change within 1:100 is quite easy.

Whether it is the United States or the navies of other major countries, the future will use a large number of UAVs of different levels. The current steam catapults are difficult to meet this requirement.For the design of aircraft carriers and naval operators, the electromagnetic catapult is a great boon. It not only reduces the occupied area of ​​the hangar deck to one third of the original, but also reduces the weight by half.Significantly reducing the weight above the center of gravity is a very useful measure for the stability design of the aircraft carrier. At the same time, it does not need to be troubled by the complicated steam pipe maze, and there is no need to lubricate hot steam leakage, splashing, and difficult to clean. You worry about it.

It is precisely because of so many characteristics that there are also drones in the description of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and the carrying of carrier aircraft.Because of the weight of the drone, I want to use the steam catapult to eject a light weight drone. There is only one result, and that is that the drone will be severely damaged or even directly affected by the violent pull of the steam catapult. The deck disintegrated.

Therefore, once the technology of electromagnetic ejection is used well on aircraft carriers, it will not be impossible for future aircraft carriers to have all unmanned carrier-based aircraft.

However, this picture is very far away from the navies of various countries and also very far away from Li Lan.Currently in the base, the Air Force has always made Li Lan very helpless. There is no large fixed-wing transport aircraft and no outstanding UAV.The base just gave him a series of question marks. Up to now, two years have passed since the senior authority, but he still hasn't unlocked even one question mark.In terms of scientific and technological accumulation, he has no way to urge, he can only rely on the efforts of scientists step by step.

Therefore, the current electromagnetic ejection on the aircraft carrier can not only speed up the attendance rate of fighter aircraft and increase the take-off weight of carrier aircraft, and increase the space of the ship, it will not bring much change.

Of course, there is an electromagnetic ejection that is a thing to be happy about.Thanks to the maintenance center, the base can also produce parts for weapon units, and the electromagnetic catapult is also on the list of construction. This thing, whether it is China or Russia, will be very interested.This will not only bring high economic benefits to Li Lan, but also great political benefits.The premise is that he intends to sell this stuff.

Combining the current development of the Navy and the current strength comparison, he no longer plans to continue to build conventionally-powered aircraft carriers for his own navy. Instead, he plans to launch nuclear-powered aircraft carriers one after another in the next time. Said that he is constantly burdened with the consumption of 750,000 base funds every day.Comparing the value of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, his idea was finally determined as the future development strategy of the Red Police Corps Navy.

As long as no large-scale war breaks out, he plans to build ten nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle groups within fifteen years. If the third-level aircraft carrier is unlocked within this time, he will decide the construction of subsequent aircraft carriers based on the cost-effectiveness. jobs.

As for the conventionally powered aircraft carrier, unless someone wants to buy it, he will not continue to build it.During this period, he also wanted to draw the world into this naval arms race led by him.
