I built an armada.

Chapter 338: The aircraft carrier has a 13-ton nuclear power, and the navy is going to soar

Turning around, Su Dingping saw the dynamics of the Varyag aircraft carrier appear on the virtual panel.

"Varyag aircraft carrier can be upgraded!"

"Complete version of aircraft carrier close-in weapon system technology (analysis progress 100%), complete version of active phased array radar technology (analysis progress 100%), complete version of aircraft carrier power system (analysis progress 100%), aircraft carrier power system (analysis progress 100%), carrier-based aircraft arresting system (analysis progress 100%)..."

He found that these were the core technologies that had been conquered before, and handed the relevant information to Cheng Yiqiang and others for further research.

With the breakthrough in the core technology of aircraft carriers, it seems that the progress of analyzing the core technology of 10,000-ton destroyers has been improved, which has brought him unexpected gains.

In this way, the previous three months cannot be considered wasted.

If you think about it carefully, it is easy to discover the truth behind it. Many military technologies look very advanced, but in fact the underlying technical logic is the same.

It can be said that we can draw inferences from one instance to another and never deviate from the essence of things!

Soon, he also discovered that an 'upgradeable' button appeared in the upper right corner of the Varyag aircraft carrier's virtual panel.

I don’t know what effect will appear after pressing it.

In his plan, the research and development of the Longxia tribe's own domestically-produced aircraft carrier must come after the 10,000-ton destroyer. After all, you can't eat a big fat man in one bite, and the road must be taken step by step.

With anticipation, Su Dingping decisively pressed the upgrade button. He wanted to see what kind of super aircraft carrier the military industry atlas would analyze next.

Should we move to nuclear power in one step, or will we need to build at least two batches of conventional-powered aircraft carriers as a transition, as in the past?

"Ding, upgrade successful."

As the computer-synthesized prompt sounded, Su Dingping immediately looked at the virtual panel and found that it had been fully updated and the illustration of the 005 aircraft carrier had been lit up.

"Third generation nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, 13 tons displacement!"

"Fuck!"

"Is it really a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?"

"13 tons!"

"Oh my god, the largest aircraft carrier of the Eagle Tribe on Blue Planet in the past was only the Ford-class with a full load of 11 tons, but now it has jumped to 13 tons in one step. It really is a super aircraft carrier."

Once such an aircraft carrier is launched, it will undoubtedly be the strongest aircraft carrier on the blue planet!
Seeing the words "nuclear-powered aircraft carrier", even though he had experienced many storms before, Su Dingping still found it difficult to suppress his inner excitement, and even his breathing became rapid.

A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, even before his rebirth, the Longxia tribe had never owned one. 004 nuclear power is the dream they have always been pursuing!
Despite the hard work of many generations, due to technological limitations, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have still not been realized.

I didn't expect that he would be the one to realize it in this life.

And it was 13 tons at the beginning.

The 005 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has arrived directly. We are so happy.

Such a huge tonnage of explosion really opened Su Dingping's eyes.

The Longxia tribe owns nuclear submarines, but the power in nuclear submarines cannot be used on aircraft carriers at all. Otherwise, it would be like a small horse pulling a large cart, unable to even run, and would eventually become an aircraft carrier like the one in France.

But once a technological breakthrough is achieved in the 13-ton aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier will have an almost unlimited range, and at least during its 50-year lifespan, it will not need to replace any power fuel.

This can save a lot of fuel costs.

Relatively speaking, the cost-effectiveness of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is still very high, which is the main reason why countries on the blue planet are pursuing nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

The Eagle Tribe even plans to retire the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers and replace them all with nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to ensure that it has the largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet on the blue planet.

You know, the fuel cost alone for a conventional aircraft carrier to be deployed is tens of millions, which is very terrifying.

Of course, if nuclear power is used, the power system will be greatly improved, which will be of great help to the efficient operation of the aircraft carrier.

In addition, the nuclear power generation capacity is also huge, which can improve the operating efficiency of the aircraft carrier's integrated power system, thereby providing sufficient power guarantee for the aircraft carrier's electromagnetic catapult, as well as laser weapons and kinetic weapons on board.

Relatively speaking, Su Dingping is more inclined to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

After calming his mind, he quickly looked at the attribute panel of the 005 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

"Full version of multifunctional terahertz radar technology (analysis progress 18%, analysis time 823 days), full version of high-performance electromagnetic catapult system technology (analysis progress 11%, analysis time 1088 days)."

"Full version of ultra-high power laser weapon technology (analysis progress 5%, analysis time 3188 days), full version of active phased array fire control radar technology (analysis progress 22%, analysis time 666 days)."

"The complete version of the aircraft carrier's 'pressurized water nuclear reactor' nuclear power system (analysis progress 4%, analysis time 4285 days), the complete version of the anti-torpedo hydroacoustic countermeasure system technology (analysis progress 44%, analysis time 338 days), the complete version of the ship-borne medium- and short-range air defense missile system technology (analysis progress 52%, analysis time 342 days..."

After carefully studying the relevant analysis projects, Su Dingping actually discovered a new radar technology.

Terahertz radar is a radar technology that is one generation more advanced than active phased array radar.

It has a wider field of view, better search capability, and good ability to penetrate smoke and dust. It can be used to detect enemy hidden weapons, camouflaged ambushed armed personnel, and military equipment in smoke and dust, and can work around the clock.

Compared with ordinary microwave and millimeter wave radars, terahertz radar has a shorter wavelength and wider bandwidth, and has the advantages of strong information transmission capability, high detection accuracy, and high angular resolution.

It also has natural anti-stealth properties.

Since the terahertz frequency band has good transmittance to microwave absorbing materials, it is beneficial to the detection of stealth targets. In addition, broadband terahertz radar waves can produce a very small resonance surface for flat thin edges to enhance the reflected waves, thus having good anti-stealth performance.

In addition, terahertz waves can propagate in plasma and can effectively counter plasma stealth. Whether it is based on shape stealth, paint stealth, or even plasma stealth, terahertz radar can reveal its true form.

In this way, even if the Eagle Tribe or other Western tribes develop plasma stealth fighters, this radar can still effectively capture them and guide air defense missiles to attack.

Of course, this 13-ton super aircraft carrier will definitely be equipped with more than just this one radar.

He remembered clearly that in his previous life, the 003 aircraft carrier had more than thirty radar arrays, in order to give the aircraft carrier super strong situational awareness capabilities.

005 is an upgraded version of 003, and is naturally more advanced. Whether it is battlefield situation awareness, command, electronic confrontation and other functions, it will be improved by several levels.

In addition, there are electromagnetic catapult systems, electromagnetic arresting systems, laser weapons...

Su Dingping was dumbfounded by the analysis time of each advanced weapon.

Especially for the 'pressurized water nuclear reactor' nuclear power system, the analysis progress is only 4%, and the analysis time will take 4285 days, which is too long.

Even though it took a long time, it made him drool.

"Fuck, this thing is good, but it still takes so long to analyze." "It's really too tempting."

Su Dingping sighed helplessly.

However, he also saw the unique advantages of the "pressurized water nuclear reactor" nuclear power system, which can be adapted to warships of different tonnages according to the size of the reactor power.

But there is also a limitation. The tonnage of a warship must be at least 10,000 tons, otherwise it will not be able to support such a huge power output. If the ship is small, the power will be wasted, and the warship will be directly turned into a missile speedboat.

When adapted to a nuclear-powered submarine, the submarine's tonnage will inevitably exceed 10,000 tons, and its comprehensive combat capability will naturally far exceed that of current nuclear-powered submarines, becoming a new generation of super-powerful submarines, thus completely getting rid of the problems of high noise and low power.

Su Dingping remembered very clearly that the Eagle Tribe had always belittled the Longxia Tribe's submarines for being noisy, saying that as long as the Longxia nuclear-powered submarines were launched in the port, the Eagle Tribe could detect them across the Pacific Ocean.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also shows that the Eagle Tribe has mastered the sound characteristics of the Longxia nuclear submarine, which is extremely dangerous for nuclear submarines.

But if it is equipped with this pressurized water reactor nuclear power system, the meaning will be completely different.

There is no need to consider weight reduction and the use of silencing equipment can be reduced. In this way, the stealth performance of the submarine is greatly improved. By then, even if it appears at the doorstep of the Eagle Tribe, I am afraid they will not know it.

Once the analysis of this power system is completed, it will become possible for the entire aircraft carrier fleet to be nuclear-powered.

In the future, the interests of the Longxia tribe will spread all over the world, so it is natural that the Longxia Navy's aircraft carrier fleet will have the ability to fight throughout the entire Blue Planet. If all the warships in the aircraft carrier battle group are nuclear-powered, this goal can be achieved.

At that time, the aircraft carrier nanny only needs to bring various foods, fuel, and ammunition supplies, and will not need to carry a large amount of power fuel, which greatly reduces the pressure of logistics support.

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

After all, the Eagle Tribe in the previous life did not achieve full nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle groups.

However, this also brought about a problem. Su Dingping discovered that some of the core technologies equipped on the 005 aircraft carrier were far beyond the capabilities of the manufacturing equipment of this era.

Therefore, during the past few years of analysis, he also needs to continuously upgrade and transform the construction equipment and some machine tools.

This means that when the subsequent 10,000-ton destroyer goal is achieved and enters the mass production stage, in order to build a new generation of aircraft carriers, it will be necessary to carry out a secondary upgrade and transformation of the high-tech production equipment in the integrated military factory.

In comparison, that is still very far away, after all, it is still a few years away.

It also means that the required upgrade costs will be much larger, far beyond the current scale.

Right now the navy seems to have a lot of money, but in fact, it does not have enough to spend.

"It seems that we need to work harder."

"Otherwise, it is still a big problem that the aircraft carrier technology alone cannot be realized."

Su Dingping let out a long sigh, filled with infinite emotion.

For him, the development of the navy still needs to rely on the country's economic prosperity and the country's further strength as a guarantee.

Even so, it was enough to excite him for a while.

"If I have the chance, I will go aboard the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier for a visit. I wonder how much the analysis progress of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier will be improved?"

This is just an idea. It is impossible for the Eagle Tribe to open the aircraft carrier to the Longxia people for a visit, especially the core cabin.

In the eyes of the Eagle Tribe, the Longxia Tribe is a ferocious existence that can make you pregnant at a glance.

However, this does not mean that it will not be possible to capture a ship in the future.

Of course, if Xu Dongguo, Liu Huaming and others knew about this idea, they would be so shocked that their jaws would almost drop to the ground.

"Once we have a 13-ton super aircraft carrier, I'm afraid our navy will no longer look down on the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier."

“I really look forward to that day coming soon.”

Su Dingping muttered to himself, and a super aircraft carrier fleet had already emerged in his mind.

The 005 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is the main body, equipped with a 055 million-ton destroyer, a 052D missile destroyer, a number of frigates, and nuclear-powered submarines to form a complete aircraft carrier strike group.

They cruise in the Pacific Ocean and are fully capable of competing against the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier battle groups.

And this is definitely not as simple as one or two aircraft carrier fleets.

If the Eagle Tribe does not dispatch half of its naval warships, it would probably be of no use at all. They can only watch the Longxia fleet cruise there and sail freely in the waters near the Eagle Tribe.

By that time, the navy had truly achieved its strategic goal of "if the enemy can go, we can also go."

As long as time goes by, the Longxia Navy will be able to have a more systematic nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet with global combat capabilities.

From now on, Blue Star will transform from one superpower and many strong countries to a battle between dragons and tigers. In the end, the Longxia Navy will still achieve the long-term goal of the sea of ​​stars and completely drive the Eagle Tribe back.

At that time, the Longxia tribe will truly rise and return to the top of the world!

Although it was just a fantasy, Su Dingping was also very clear that it would be extremely difficult to realize.

"The road ahead is long and we still need to work hard."

"All I can say is that the future is bright, but the road is tortuous, and we still need to work harder."

Su Dingping brought his thoughts back to reality. Looking at the extremely long analyses of core technologies, he knew that it was impossible to realize those advanced technologies with the current level.

Now we can only advance naval construction in a down-to-earth manner, step by step. Without strong technical accumulation, it is impossible to fully achieve the production goals.

"It will take a long time to achieve the second step of the Navy's three-step strategy and fight against the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet."

“It can’t be done overnight.”

Su Dingping had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but his head was very clear.

For them, what they need to do now is to do the task at hand well, first of all, to realize the large-scale production of 052D and to realize the replacement of those old ships of the navy.

Of course, some ships that are not very old and have potential for transformation and upgrading still need to be upgraded and utilized.

No matter what time, the Longxia Navy is definitely not as wasteful as the Eagle Tribe Navy.

Unless a ship is no longer usable or has a new use, it will never be easily retired.
