weapons expert

Regarding Xu Ziling's busyness, Gao Xianxian asked very interestingly.

Not long after I was free, it was time to refuel the helicopter.

After filling up the fuel on the supply ship of the fleet, the two of them didn't waste much time, and soon boarded the plane again, and steered the plane directly towards the South China Sea Fleet.

Several hours later, "Fierce Dragon" finally arrived at the South China Sea Fleet.

After arriving here, it is obviously not good not to go to Tang Jiannian, so Xu Ziling went to the headquarters to visit Tang Jiannian while he was refueling the helicopter again.

Seeing Tang Jiannian, his surprised expression was obviously very surprised by Xu Ziling's arrival.

It's no wonder, in his impression, people like Xu Ziling would never show up if nothing happened, and sending Gao Xianxian back was also a temporary move, and he didn't notify anyone here, so it's not surprising that he was surprised at this time.

After exchanging pleasantries, I thought Xu Ziling came to Tang Jiannian for something, only to realize that he was just dropping by to send Gao Xianxian back.

However, as a navy man, he was obviously jealous of the "Liaoning". When he learned that Xu Ziling also came from this place, he seriously asked Xu Ziling what he thought of the aircraft carrier.

Because in his eyes, Xu Ziling is an expert in weapons, and no one has a more correct opinion than him.

On the night Xu Ziling was on the aircraft carrier, he watched the configuration of the "Liaoning" with the lion, because there are countless optimization plans, and compared with those aircraft carriers of other countries, he really didn't have much opinion of the "Liaoning" The only feeling is that the technology is too backward.

Not to mention the specific small details, but from a general perspective, the first is the way the "Liaoning" takes off.

The take-off method of "Liaoning" is the ski-jump type. Compared with the catapult type on the American aircraft carrier, the ski-jump type has a big disadvantage.

That is the take-off distance of the "Liaoning" medium-sized aircraft carrier, and the lack of assistance from the ejection device limits the possibility of flying heavy aircraft from above.

In this way, those advanced and large early warning aircraft and fighter jets loaded with ammunition could not lift off from the "Liaoning", which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness.

Another very important point is the difficulty of supply.

As a conventionally powered medium-sized aircraft carrier, "Liaoning" has very high requirements for supplies.Not only food, weapons, and ammunition are needed, but also heavy oil and aviation kerosene.

It's okay when it's not a war, weapons and ammunition don't need to be replenished frequently, but because it is conventional power, the demand for fuel is extremely high.

Coupled with the formation of combat aircraft, several other ships and submarines, the difficulty of replenishment is even more difficult.

Xu Ziling learned a little bit at that time, and got some data. Based on these data, he did some calculations and came to such a conclusion: If the aircraft carrier has a combat mission, it will probably take three to four days. There will be a refill of fuel.

Refueling a giant like an aircraft carrier is not like a helicopter like the "Fierce Dragon", which can be done in ten minutes.

Because its demand is extremely huge, it is extremely luxurious both from an economic point of view and from a time point of view.

Compared with those nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, Xu Ziling had to admit that the "Liaoning" was really no match for them.

What's more, in his eyes, these are not the only shortcomings, so he still believes that the existence of the "Liaoning" is more important in symbolic meaning, and combat capabilities are secondary.

With this kind of thinking, it was really difficult for him to answer Tang Jiannian's question.

"its not bad, right."

After thinking about it, I felt that I couldn't say it too bluntly, so I had to make a vague and perfunctory sentence.

Tang Jiannian was obviously dissatisfied when he heard his answer, and his enthusiastic expression couldn't help but change.

Although this expression was only fleeting, Xu Ziling still noticed it.

Seeing him like this, Xu Ziling knew that his answer might make Tang Jiannian misunderstand that he didn't want to talk, so he couldn't help but smile wryly.

It can't be directly explained that compared with other aircraft carriers, ours is scum, right?

Thinking this way in my heart, but I had to explain it to Tang Jiannian, otherwise it would be bad if people misunderstood, so I said:

"Uncle Tang, it's not that I don't say it, it's that I really don't know how to evaluate it. In my eyes, its existence is more symbolic."

"Forehead……"

No matter what Tang Jiannian thought, he never expected Xu Ziling to make such an evaluation.

You have to know how much manpower, material resources and money the country has spent for this aircraft carrier over the years, but when it comes to him, how can there be such a useless evaluation?

The aircraft carrier is the pride of the navy. Faced with such an evaluation, Tang Jiannian was a little annoyed, but facing Xu Ziling, who was not his subordinate, he could only suppress his anger, but he still couldn't help asking with a dark face:

"Tell me, why is it useless?"

For Tang Jiannian's reaction, Xu Ziling was ready when he was ready to express his point of view.

In his opinion, although Tang Jiannian was an elder, he didn't need to coax him with nice words. Facts are facts, and shortcomings should not turn into advantages just because of good words.

"Uncle Tang, I am engaged in technology, so I look at it from a different angle than you. In my opinion, the 'Liaoning' does not have much combat effectiveness. In terms of power, ours is conventional power , the longest battery life is only one week, and the nuclear power of others can be replenished every half a year, so there is really no advantage."

"In terms of equipment, at least in the days above, I haven't found that the J-15 has formed a real combat effectiveness, and other carrier-based aircraft, due to the aircraft carrier's ski-jump take-off method, the fighter aircraft cannot take off with a full load of ammunition. Its combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced."

"Similarly because of the take-off method, it is impossible to take off large early warning aircraft and anti-submarine aircraft. The weapons themselves are weak, and the formation's supply capacity cannot keep up. This will further reduce the combat effectiveness of the entire formation. When the formation is on the line, we really can’t beat others.”

"..."

Having said that, Xu Ziling didn't mind saying more, so he compared the "Liaoning" with those advanced aircraft carriers, and shared some data between the two with Tang Jiannian.

Compared with those aircraft carriers with advanced technology, there is a gap between our own. As the commander of the navy, Tang Jiannian is actually very clear.

Although the "Liaoning" does not belong to the formation under his fleet, in the modern navy, the aircraft carrier is a symbol of the strongest combat power, so he is equally proud and happy that the country has an aircraft carrier.

In his heart, he regarded the aircraft carrier as his own treasure, and he couldn't tolerate others saying it was bad, so when Xu Ziling made such an evaluation, he would of course have a dark face.

But what Xu Ziling said made him realize from his heart that the reality is not just what he thinks is good.

Today's war does not focus on relying on more people as it did decades ago, but on whose weapons can fight far and accurately, and everything that is fought is high-tech.

The hardware and software are inferior to others, so there is really nothing to be happy about.

"Actually, this is not bad. It can be regarded as practicing first. If you build it later, you may be able to catch up with others."

After hearing Xu Ziling's words, Tang Jiannian was obviously in a low mood, and he didn't speak for a long time. Xu Ziling saw it and felt uncomfortable. He regretted that he had spoken too bluntly, so he had no choice but to comfort him.

Hearing what Xu Ziling said, Tang Jiannian looked at him again, smiled bitterly, and said to him:

"Okay, don't say such pleasant words. I'm not unhappy because of what you said, but I remembered one thing. The country now has plans to build a second aircraft carrier, but I heard that the relevant design and The technology is still developed from the 'Liaoning', according to what you said, isn't it still a thing with little combat power?"

Thinking about it, Tang Jiannian felt very uncomfortable, even the word "thing" came out of what he said.

Xu Ziling was really shocked to receive such unexpected news.

When he usually pays attention to the Internet, he has indeed seen things about the country's construction of a second aircraft carrier, but when he looked carefully, he found that these are all false news that must have no foundation.

But he didn't expect to get confirmation from Tang Jiannian today.

You must know that as the commander of one of the two fleets of the Celestial Dynasty, the news that comes out of people like him is well-founded, and it is definitely not the fake news on the Internet.

If, as Tang Jiannian said, the design and technology of the second aircraft carrier were still developed from the first one, it would be impossible to make too many changes in some important places. How much practicality?

Xu Ziling had to be suspicious.

For a moment, he had an idea in his mind to come up with a plan for an aircraft carrier, but as soon as such an idea popped up in his mind, he was vetoed.

Helicopters and fighter planes are okay to say, no matter what, they all have a source from Yang Haisheng, and in the eyes of others, they also have a source.

But suddenly he took out such a big killer as an aircraft carrier, it's no wonder people don't doubt it.

It took decades of research by the state to come up with such a thing on the basis of others, but Xu Ziling suddenly took out such a thing, it is strange that the higher authorities did not pursue the origin.

It is obvious that such a thing cannot be produced by one person, and the laboratory has only been established for a few months, so it is obviously impossible to have such an ability. strange.

In this regard, he can only be silent.
