The official military exercise will be tomorrow. After the two teams converge, they will be less than [-] kilometers away from the designated sea area. At a speed of [-] knots, it will take a few hours in the afternoon and one night to reach the destination. More than enough.

After crossing the Tropic of Cancer, going south is the tropics. Although some are tropical in nature, the climate is quite good. When sailing between 15 degrees north latitude and the sea breeze blowing, it makes people feel very comfortable. Xu Ziling was fortunate enough to attend a meeting, but because of his low position, he didn't speak, and just listened from the sidelines.

After the meeting was over and it was still early, Captain Zhang, Tang Jiannian and others said they should go outside to enjoy some fresh air, so the group asked people to bring deck chairs, and laid out in a row on the deck to enjoy the sea breeze.

Even if these people were chatting, the topics were all related to the military. Captain Zhang also understood the actions of the Jiangnan factory, and he was too busy to ask. Now he became interested, so he asked about this matter.

The construction of the dock has already started, and the overall project will be completed in three months. At that time, the construction of the aircraft carrier hull will start, so there is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. Xu Ziling also introduced this matter in detail.

Freighters with tens or hundreds of thousands of tons are everywhere, but aircraft carriers with a capacity of 10,000+ tons are really unbelievable. From Xu Ziling's mouth, it was confirmed that the super-large-tonnage aircraft carrier has entered the countdown to construction. Captain Zhang sighed endlessly. A few years ago, he Became the captain of the first domestic aircraft carrier, and was ecstatic, feeling that his country finally had an aircraft carrier, but within five years, he was actually planning to build a 10,000+ ton aircraft carrier.

He had to lament that this world is really impermanent!

When did you ever think that such a thing would happen?

"Oh, by the way, a few days ago I suggested to the higher-ups that we equip a 'Shadow Dragon'. I wonder if you have heard the news?" After talking about the aircraft carrier, Captain Zhang suddenly said something that surprised Xu Ziling. news.

"Oh?" Xu Ziling was taken aback. He had called Fan Yi on the phone a few days ago, but he hadn't heard about it, but he quickly realized, "I haven't heard about this, but no one It is a little difficult to equip the aircraft on the aircraft carrier."

As a transition location, an aircraft carrier is still suitable, but to choose to equip drones, Xu Ziling's aircraft carrier is still possible, but on the Liaoning, at least "Yinglong No. [-]" is impossible, because "Yinglong No. [-]" "Zhanyi has exceeded the limit of carrier-based aircraft, and there is no such a large lifting platform on the Liaoning.

There are only two ways to solve this problem, one is to change the lifting platform on the aircraft carrier, but this method is impossible, because it is not easy to increase the lifting platform, and it will affect the entire deck of the aircraft carrier .

Then the remaining method is to make the "Shadow Dragon" smaller, or change the wing to fold, just like a carrier-based fighter.

But the UAV has a flying wing layout, and the wings and the fuselage are integrated, unlike other types of aircraft such as the canard layout. It is not a simple matter to make the flying wings foldable. As for putting it If the size of the drone is made smaller, it is almost the same as redesigning a model, so Xu Ziling said that it is not a simple matter to equip the drone on the aircraft carrier, unless it is placed on the deck forever. If it is stored in the hangar, it may be equipped on the "Liaoning".

"Can't we produce carrier-based aircraft?" Both Tang Jiannian and Captain Zhang knew the basic technical knowledge, and both of them had similar problems on this issue.

Xu Ziling smiled wryly, this is not a question of carrier-based aircraft or not. Shadow Dragon has already considered the carrier-based situation in doing this. If it is too small, it will affect the voyage and combat effectiveness. The main problem is that it was purchased." On the lifting platform of "Liaoning": Its hull itself was purchased. At that time, the construction country only considered their own country's carrier-based aircraft, and this hull was built nearly 20 years ago. The times are different, and there are some standards Naturally it is different.A slightly larger aircraft cannot be put into storage.

"Flying wing layout, many instruments are on both sides of the wings, it is impossible to fold the wings like ordinary carrier-based aircraft, and at the beginning of the design, I had already considered the shipboard problem, and wanted to ensure In terms of performance and combat effectiveness, it is impossible to change the size of the UAV. Now it is the smallest. If I want to equip it on the 'Liaoning', unless I redesign one, but the range, the amount of ammunition and so on, Certainly not as good as the 'Shadow Dragon', or else it would be to change the lifting platform of the aircraft carrier."

……

"Then it means that there is no way to equip us?" Captain Zhang asked quickly.

"Unless it doesn't go into the hangar, it's placed on the deck. Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to change the lifting platform."

Then there was silence again.

After that, it was Captain Zhang with a dejected look on his face.

"It seems that we have no way to equip it. No wonder there is no response from above. I guess they knew about this matter and didn't want to contact you at all. It's just that I've been busy these days and didn't reply me."

Seeing him like that, Xu Ziling was a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said: "The 'Liaoning' has been in service for a long time, and it should be maintenance time? Maybe there is no reply from above, just thinking about changing the lifting platform What about this?"

The meaning of Xu Ziling's comforting words was too obvious. After hearing this, Captain Zhang smiled and was noncommittal.

After chatting for a while, the sky was getting late, there was something important to do tomorrow, everyone didn't chat much, and went back to the cabin to rest.

With a brand new satellite navigation system, it is no problem that there is no one on duty in the cockpit. The huge fleet sails quietly in the sea. Once you wake up, it will be bright the next day.

Activities on the aircraft carrier have their own flavors. After they all washed up, a group of people started running around the deck. They didn't disperse until it was bright and started to eat breakfast.

Li Cheng's child is still young, so Xu Ziling didn't let him go with him this time, only Yang Kaiming followed, while Duan Zhan stayed on land. After the two of them had breakfast, they came to the command center of the island. It was still early, and I wanted to know. Regarding the situation of the Americans, Xu Ziling turned on the satellite scan and transferred the screen to the big screen in the command center.

Xu Ziling was not surprised that the Mi Army had an aircraft carrier formation participating. What surprised him was that he finally "intuitively" realized the naval power of the Filipinos. However, after reading it, he was very surprised. , How dare they be so arrogant.

There are five warships from the Philippines participating this time. Xu Ziling looked at them and found that they were all antiques. Among them, the most powerful one was actually produced by the Americans during World War II, and the latest one was built in Second-hand goods that have been in service in the United States for more than 40 years.

This tm is also called navy?He had some doubts, would such a fleet be overturned if it encountered a larger typhoon?
