Above the Pirate King

After Arthur waved his hand, he said, "I want to go in!"

"Yes!" The soldier captain nodded respectfully, turned to the soldiers behind him, and shouted, "Let go!"

Immediately, the soldiers hurriedly opened the fence blocking the intersection and made way for Arthur!

Seeing this, Arthur walked in directly!

The road was winding, but not long. After Arthur walked for about ten minutes, he reached the end of the road.

And here, there are hundreds of soldiers guarding it!

Because the soldiers from before called and said hello, the soldiers here saluted when they saw Arthur's hand, and then moved out of the way!

Arthur successfully entered inside!

It's a valley!

The valley is V-shaped, and the intersection where Arthur just entered is the tip of the V, and the tail of the V is connected to the sea.

The valley is not big, and apart from the four scientific research buildings displayed on both sides of the valley, it is a port connected to the sea.

After Arthur came in, besides these four buildings, the first thing he saw was a gigantic ship parked in the port. From a distance, the ship looked like a steel fortress floating on the sea. generally!

If someone who came from the same world as Arthur saw this ship, his eyes would widen and he would exclaim, "I'm so stupid, this is... an aircraft carrier!!!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

What are the difficulties in making an aircraft carrier?

There are many!

But the most important thing is nothing more than the take-off and landing of the carrier-based aircraft!

That's right!

The main difficulty of an aircraft carrier is not power, keel, etc. Although those are also difficulties, they are a little behind the seemingly inconspicuous things like landing and landing of carrier-based aircraft!

And why is it said that the ups and downs are the most important difficulty?

Because the aircraft carrier itself is a ship, the runway must be much shorter than the normal runway, that is to say, the carrier-based aircraft cannot run fast enough to take off on the aircraft carrier!

As for the consequences of not being able to run at the speed of take-off, it goes without saying that there is no other choice but to fall into the sea!

But if there is a problem, there is a solution!

Thus, something like a carrier-based aircraft catapult was born!

This kind of thing makes use of the principle of catapult. A catapult is installed on the aircraft carrier. When the carrier-based aircraft is about to take off, it is ejected to shorten the runway distance required for its take-off, so that the carrier-based aircraft can fly within a short time and within a short distance. Get up to takeoff speed!

It looks simple!

But the technical content is very high!

In the world before Arthur traveled, countries with this technology can be counted on the palm of one hand, which is much rarer than countries with nuclear bombs!

And again, since the runway is shorter than normal, a normal landing would definitely not work!

In that case, the carrier will not be able to reduce its speed due to insufficient runways, and it will directly hit the aircraft carrier!

However, there are also problems and there are solutions!

Thus, the Barrier Cable was born!

What is a barricade?

To put it bluntly, it is a rope!

The role of this rope is to pull it when the carrier-based aircraft lands, and let it slow down so that it will not hit the aircraft carrier!

But this rope is also very difficult to make!

First of all, the weight of the carrier-based aircraft itself is already very heavy, plus the force added by the speed when landing, so this rope must be able to withstand the impact of more than [-] tons!

Well, there are not a few countries that can make ropes that can withstand the impact of more than [-] tons!

But the problem is that the rope used on the aircraft carrier is not an ordinary rope!

It should be fine!

Because it is placed on the deck, if it is not thin enough, it may affect the normal taxiing of the carrier-based aircraft when it lands, resulting in accidents, aircraft crashes and fatalities!

Moreover, it must not only be thin, but also have sufficient toughness!

After the arresting cable is hooked to the tail of the carrier-based aircraft, it must also bend as the carrier-based aircraft runs forward. If there is no toughness and cannot follow the bend, then the tail of the carrier-based aircraft may be torn off directly!

At that time, not only will it not be able to slow down the speed, but it will also lead to the destruction of the carrier aircraft!

Therefore, this kind of blocking cable sounds simple, but it is very difficult to make!

Before Arthur crossed, there was only one country that could be counted with one hand, and it could be made!

The above are only the difficulties brought about by the ups and downs, but in fact there are many difficulties!

Say so!

Before Arthur crossed, there was no country that did not use parts from other countries when making aircraft carriers!

Even if it is a so-called domestic aircraft carrier, only most of the parts and some key parts are made in China, and a small part does not have that technology, and they use foreign ones!
