1118 Chapter 1119 Let's make it ourselves

"It's easy to take off the plane. If it doesn't work, let the aircraft carrier drive against the wind. This is equivalent to giving the plane a positive wind boost." A naval expert helped his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to several engineers around him.

"Write it down! Write it down quickly!" Several engineers in charge of recording hurriedly lowered their heads and wrote this important suggestion in the notebook.

This is a technical seminar of the Dorne Empire, a naval power. After the Datang Empire released an aircraft carrier with a price of 1 million, they began to imagine their own country's navy for a new type of weapon, an aircraft carrier.

As long as they can build a decent aircraft carrier by themselves, the saved money can almost build a large number of aircraft carrier fleets!

With such a temptation in front of you, no matter what, everyone must give it a try!Everyone thinks so and does so.

"Driving against the wind is indeed a good way. I don't know if the aircraft carrier of the Datang Empire does the same." Because there is no reference, everyone is just guessing about various problems on the aircraft carrier.

At the beginning, everyone thought that the 1 million was easy to save: Isn't it just a big ship to repair the airstrip?How hard can it be?
But in actual operation, difficulties began to appear one after another: everyone soon discovered that an aircraft carrier is not as simple as adding a runway to a large ship.

After all, like Tang Mo, not everyone has a mature aircraft carrier design that has been tested in actual combat, with correct design ideas and polished details.

But the problem is that the navies of this world don't have the time to explore on their own: now that the Tang Empire has produced a mature aircraft carrier and started to use it in actual combat, they have almost no time and space for trial and error.

"Deck wind can be used for takeoff... but what about landing?" After finally solving one problem, everyone was stumped by another problem.

The deck wind is something that some smart people in the navy can figure out through experience, and the length of the runway for the plane to take off is indeed within a reasonable range: under normal circumstances, the take-off distance of the propeller plane can indeed be reduced to about the same length as the battleship.

But the problem is... the length needed for the plane to land is not that short!If the runway on the aircraft carrier is too short, wouldn't the landing plane rush off the runway and fall directly into the sea?

What method is used to stop the planes so that they can shorten the landing distance?Everyone started to think again.

Someone proposed to use interception nets to block the aircraft like fishing for fish, but doing so would definitely damage the aircraft, so you can't continue to fight after one takeoff and landing, right?

The answer to Zong Suo seems very simple, but it is not an easy task for a group of people who have never seen an aircraft carrier and have no similar experience to guess.

Moreover, this is actually only a relatively small problem among countless problems in the design and manufacture of aircraft carriers.

Guess where jet fuel is installed on an aircraft carrier?How much space do you need?How to arrange the oil pipeline?

Guess where the aerial bombs, torpedoes, and ammunition are placed, and how much space is needed, and how to take these things to replenish the aircraft?
Do you think it's enough to just leave a place and lay some pipelines?no!Is the fuel supply pressure enough, is the fire prevention in place, and how to store the ammunition safely?How to take and transport it is convenient... This is all a question of university.

Thinking about it later, is this the end?Thousands of pilots and sailors are crowded on a battleship. Where do they sleep, work, and eat? How much space is needed and how to design it?

Arrange the dormitories between gasoline, boilers, shells, and toilets... so many seemingly unimportant details will eventually become fatal flaws that affect the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier.

Think about those aircraft carriers in a certain city that exploded after being hit by one, two or three aerial bombs. Think about their ending, and you will know that there is a lot of knowledge in it.

As far as the optical landing aid system on the aircraft carrier of the Datang Empire is concerned, technical personnel from various countries in this world who have never seen the world can think about it for themselves, and it is estimated that they will think about it ten years later.

Not to mention... Guess if the aircraft carrier created by these great designers will have a useful and classic... island?
Or will they be like the old Japanese navy, making weird things with no bridges and chimneys?

Why did the rabbit insist on buying the Varyag back then?Isn't it just to get Mao Xiong's aircraft carrier details experience?It's not that I can't make it myself, but if the things I make are not polished in detail, problems will inevitably arise.

Want to eliminate these problems?Then rebuild the next-level aircraft carrier, rebuild the next-level aircraft carrier, accumulate experience and lessons by yourself, and finally complete your own aircraft carrier construction experience and technology accumulation.

How to avoid wasting time and energy?Then buy Varyag back and see for yourself, the above is just the cabin structure, which is enough for the rabbit to solve the self-research time of the aircraft carrier for more than 25 years!This is the main reason why the rabbit must buy Varyag and insists on letting it return to China.It's not because the rabbit's technology is not enough, but the small details that need to be explored in actual use can only be honed in actual use. It takes time, and what the rabbit lacks is time!

That is the sum of experience that Maoxiong has accumulated through the three generations of Moscow-class, Kiev-class and Kuznetsov-class aircraft carriers!That is a summary of decades of experience in using aircraft carriers!That's something other than technology.

But even so, Rabbit still found a lot of room for improvement on Varyag.After my own exploration and improvement, the Shandong ship, the real "China Aircraft Carrier", came into being.

A group of people are still making plans for Dorn's aircraft carrier, and everyone is racking their brains: "Forget about landing, I calculated that an aircraft carrier can carry up to 20 aircraft, which is what the Tang Empire said Yes, the level of 70 carrier-based aircraft is far too low."

Tang Guo's aircraft carrier gave a relatively conservative number of carrier-based aircraft. In fact, each aircraft carrier can carry more than 75 aircraft.

Even the conservative number of 70 is incomprehensible to many people: no matter how they calculate, there can only be about [-] planes parked on the deck; any more, it will affect the take-off of the plane.

An old engineer looked at the design sketch and expressed his opinion: "The data given by the other party must not be wrong. After all, they are sales, and we can buy them as long as we pay. It is impossible to lie! So our design still has something wrong. question!"

"Is it possible that their aircraft carrier is in the belly... There is a special space for the aircraft?" An engineer next to him made a gesture on the side view of the drawing and added a layer of hangar.

The others nodded, "It's very possible! But...it's impossible to add more than 40 planes!"

"A two-story warehouse?" The engineer asked tentatively, the word hangar was a bit unfamiliar to him.

Others began to shake their heads again: "Two floors...does it still contain personnel, equipment, ammunition, and fuel?"

Soon other smart people guessed another key: "Unless the plane is also folded..."

"Is this unlikely?" Some people who are familiar with airplanes are in a dilemma.

Others agreed with the idea of ​​folding the plane: "Nothing is impossible, I think the plane should be folded, which can save more space."

Soon, everyone's attention was drawn to the topic of folding the plane: "Based on this calculation, the plane should indeed be folded, but doesn't that mean adding extra weight to the plane?"

The engineer who knows the aircraft shook his head like a rattle: "This will seriously increase the dead weight of the aircraft, reduce the maneuverability of the aircraft, and reduce the range of the aircraft."

"The Tang Empire can rely on their damn engine technology to maintain the combat performance of the aircraft. If we modify the aircraft... that is tantamount to letting the pilot die." Immediately afterwards, someone complained.

The leading old engineer turned his head, looked at a more authoritative aircraft "designer", and asked, "How much dead weight do you think will be added to the aircraft by folding the structure of the two wings?"

The other party said that the designer was nothing more than modifying and refitting the existing aircraft. When the old engineer asked him, he thought for a while and replied: "150 kilograms may not be enough."

This is almost equivalent to a plane hanging a bomb and fighting the opponent's fighter jet, so the old engineer can only sigh: "Thinking about it makes people despair."

Having said that, an engineer walked in with a stack of documents, and shouted to everyone in despair: "Look! This is the data sent by the field airport in Bunas, we need another discussion session .”

"What do you mean?" Hearing this person's shout, someone immediately lost his composure.

I only heard the man sigh, and said with a mournful face: "The aircraft deployed at Bunas Field Field Airport, because of the high salinity of the seaside, the fuselage will corrode faster than other areas... This is the ground staff of the Datang Empire. The opinions given are the lessons we spend money on.”

This set of maintenance procedures was bought from the Tang Empire, and it has been proved to be effective.Since the planes placed on the beach have to be maintained additionally, should the planes on the battleship also be maintained?

In addition...

At this moment, a muffled voice sounded from the corner, someone asked: "It's fine to load the plane below the deck, but how to get it on the deck? Is it too dangerous to operate at sea by crane? "

Hundreds of questions flooded out at once, making everyone have an urge to flip the table.You know, just now, someone suggested that it is not necessary to use a runway to launch an aircraft carrier, but it can also be boosted by rockets and launched with explosives...

Using the deck as a runway is actually just one of many ideas. As for what Tang's aircraft carrier looks like, no one knows yet.

All they know is that an aircraft carrier can carry a large number of aircraft, and they can fly and recover these aircraft at sea!The design with the flight deck just seems the most reasonable, other possibilities are not completely absent!
These people are actually trying to restore a prehistoric tyrannosaurus rex through a few adjectives...
