Technological power starts with upgrading lenses.

Chapter 454 Kangchi-class aircraft carrier

June 6, cloudy, light wind.

At Dock No. 2 of Sanshan Shipyard, thousands of people lined up neatly in front, looking eagerly at the steel behemoth in front of them.

For the engineers, they naturally felt satisfied and proud that they could build this brand new aircraft carrier themselves.
I have high hopes for its future performance, but also... anxiety.

After all, the design concept and technical route are too advanced, and the carrier-based aircraft are basically brand new. Therefore, much of the manufacturing experience of the previous four aircraft carriers is not applicable to it.

No one knows whether they will build another "Zumwalt"...

For the officers and soldiers who will serve on 006, the excitement in their hearts at this moment is beyond words.
Although it has not yet been sea-tested, Captain Wan Yuntao already knows its design concept and performance parameters, and is therefore full of confidence in its future combat capability.

240MW controlled nuclear fusion reactor,
Two built-in super catapults,
In addition to 15 Silver Cranes with various functions including early warning, anti-submarine, and aerial refueling, the main combat force of 006 is 35 of the latest heavy unmanned fighters - Xunlong.

There is no need to say more about the combat capability of this fighter.
However, due to the current production limit of Xunlong, it will take at least a year to equip all 35 aircraft.

Other than that,

The 006 will also carry 10 medium-sized unmanned strategic aircraft, which are actually multi-functional smaller versions of the 'H-20S', code-named "Baibianniao".

The Variety Bird can be used as a transport aircraft, airdropping 10 companies at a time, totaling 300 unmanned war robots of various models;

It can also be used as a mother-and-child aircraft to release a swarm of up to 10 drones in the air;
It can also be used directly as a bomber to drop bombs and carry out ground raiding.

And the above are just the apparent data.
The most eye-catching thing about the overall design of 006 is actually its full automation.

The operating logic of the entire aircraft carrier is a bit like a multi-story parking lot, although the mechanical structure of this design will take up more space and reduce the number of carrier-based aircraft.

However, the 006 is not the type that wins by quantity. The carrier-based aircraft on it are all at the ceiling of combat power, and it can completely make up for the disadvantage in quantity with quality and efficiency.

What's more, 60 carrier-based aircraft are actually not a small number.

In short, each aircraft on the 006 has its own dedicated hangar depending on the type of carrier-based aircraft.

These hangars can be moved flexibly inside the aircraft carrier.
If a catapult launch is required, the aircraft will be transferred to the electromagnetic catapult.

If vertical takeoff and landing is required, transfer to the deck.
If you need supplies, move to the supply area.
If maintenance is needed, it will be transferred to the maintenance area.
With the help of intelligent robotic arms, logistics personnel can quickly complete tasks such as ammunition and fuel replenishment and maintenance of carrier-based aircraft.

In addition to the fully loaded Variety Bird, other carrier-based aircraft, including the Silver Crane tilt-rotor aircraft, can be launched by catapult or can take off and land vertically directly on the deck.

Therefore, 006 releases carrier-based aircraft at a very fast speed.

When necessary, the two super catapults and the six lifting platforms on the deck work together to take off one carrier-based aircraft at an average speed of every 7 seconds, achieving the terrifying speed of launching all carrier-based aircraft in 8 minutes.

This improvement in combat effectiveness is definitely a qualitative change!

Although the United States claims that they have a large aircraft carrier with four catapults, theoretically they can take off 8 fighter jets per minute,

But in fact, that was only possible with the first wave when four planes were ready. Affected by various factors of deck operations, the actual time they took to organize an attack wave was much longer than the theoretical value. It would take at least half an hour to launch 60 planes.

Assuming that both sides discover each other at the same time and launch an offensive, the time difference is enough to result in a numerical crush.

What's more, the quality is also overwhelming!

Assuming that recovery and supply operations are carried out simultaneously and multiple rounds of high-intensity attacks are conducted, the gap in combat efficiency between the two sides will only widen.

Moreover, most of their aircraft carriers use steam catapults, and the speed of the aircraft carrier will drop significantly when high-intensity catapults are used.

Therefore, Wan Yuntao is very sure that 006 will definitely be the No.1 in China's naval combat power in the future, and even the No.1 in the world's warship combat power.

Being able to serve as the captain of this aircraft carrier still feels like a dream to him... He wishes the launching ceremony would be over immediately so that he can board this dream aircraft carrier that looks like a giant from outer space as soon as possible, gallop through the deep sea and enhance the country's prestige!

The only regret is that, looking around the world, Wan Yuntao can't seem to find a target that 006 can use as an imaginary enemy.

Just feel,
Whoever comes here will be a bully...

“… Today, we gather here to witness this historic moment together.”

Chief Shen on the stage was still giving a passionate speech.

“This is not only a major event in our country’s naval construction, but also an important milestone in our country’s national defense and military’s journey into the future.

First of all, let us express our highest respect and gratitude with warm applause to the engineers, technicians and workers who have contributed their hard work and wisdom to the construction of this aircraft carrier!

It is their sweat and wisdom that have forged this giant steel dragon, allowing it to break through the waves in the vast blue sea and become a strong shield to defend national sovereignty and maintain world peace! "

As soon as Chief Shen finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out at the scene, and Kang Chi and Ren Zhou became the focus of the whole audience.

Especially Kang Chi,
Although he never appeared once during the production of 006,

But everyone knows that if he hadn't provided a lot of design ideas and technical support, 006 would never have been built so quickly.
Not to mention that almost all of the equipment on 006 was made by him.

Definitely the big boss behind the scenes!
……

"Approved by the Military Commission, China's fifth aircraft carrier is named 'Jiangbei', hull number 20!"

When you hear the name of this ship, you know without thinking that it must be named Jiangbei because of Kang Chi.

Because he is from Jiangbei,

Otherwise, with so many powerful coastal provinces waiting to be named, how could it be the turn of Jiangbei Province, which has nothing to do with the sea?

If there were no naming standards for aircraft carriers, 006 would probably be called Kang Chi directly...

In fact, they did so.
Although 006 was named Jiangbei, in the future the military's unified name for this type of aircraft carrier will be "Kangchi-class aircraft carrier."

Thank you for your full respect!
Now even Ren Zhou looked at Kang Chi with some resentment.

As the chief engineer of two aircraft carriers, he has yet to secure an aircraft carrier title for his hometown of Guangxi.
I am simply ashamed to face the folks in Guangxi!
"Ahem, don't look at me like that." Kang Chi whispered a little embarrassedly, "With the speed at which we make dumplings, we will eventually get the names we deserve."

“But the pleasure before and the pleasure after are still different.”

Kang Chi: "..."

After the naming, the launching ceremony finally officially began. Accompanied by the loud singing of the audience, the red national flag slowly rose, hung on the bow of the ship, and fluttered in the wind!
Half an hour later, watching the Jiangbei ship slowly sailing out of the dock, Kang Chi couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly.

18 months ago, the Xindu was attacked.
Afterwards, Kang Chi stood in front of the tomb of martyr Feng Pengyuan, secretly vowed to avenge him, and officially started the research and development plan of the drone carrier.

Just six months ago, the Liuqiu incident gave Old M a big setback, but the revenge for Xinduhao has actually been taken.

But for Kang Chi, only when the aircraft carrier is actually launched, the fleet gallops in the deep sea, and dominates the seven continents and four oceans, any villain who sees this red flag will not dare to cross the line, and incidents like the Xindu will never happen again.

This oath has been truly fulfilled.

And this day,
Already arrived!
