Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan came to the floating dock where the launching ceremony of the battleship was held, and saw the whole picture of the mocking windship for the first time. Lin Yuan's first feeling when he saw this battleship was that it was beautiful, and his second feeling was that it was empty.

The reason why the mock windship is beautiful is that its appearance is quite different from the warships of this era. The upper masts of warships of this era are all fixed to the deck with ropes. A lot of ropes are like a spider. The various observation cabins are like dead bugs on a spider, while the Laughing Wind Ship adopts an integrated shape design, which is very similar to the stealth structure of a modern warship, and the ship is painted with silver-gray paint, which looks particularly eye-catching.

The reason why Lin Yuan felt it was "empty" was because there were too few things arranged on it. Starting from the bow of the ship was a double-mounted main gun with a caliber of 180 mm. The position from the rear of the gun to the bridge was There is more than 30 meters of blank space, with nothing on it, and the bridge is also empty, except for a spherical radar dome at the highest point of the mast. Lin Yuan knew that it must be the sea warning radar, because this kind of radar usually needs to be placed on the ground. At the highest position of the warship, because the target height on the ocean is small, it is easy to be blocked by the curved surface of the earth.

The entire warship only has such a radome. Behind the bridge is the power section. There are two chimneys on the power section. When using steam turbines, they can be called chimneys, and when using gas turbines, they are called chimneys. The intake volute and the exhaust volute are equivalent to the air intake on the aircraft. The air flows from the intake volute into the gas turbine, burns in the combustion chamber, pushes the propeller to do work, and then flows into the atmosphere from the exhaust volute.

The end of the power section is the stern. On modern warships, there are usually helicopter hangars and helipads here. However, the helicopter has not been developed yet, so this section is empty again, but a dual-mounted turret is also installed. The depth rocket launch tubes and depth charge launchers are not visible on the entire warship, but this is not surprising, after all, the enemy of this era does not have submarines.

Wan Ling seemed to see what Lin Yuan was thinking, pointed at the warship and said: "There are still many things on our warship that have not been installed, first of all, missiles, our missiles are still under development, and the fire control radar, so you A lot of the blank space you see is reserved for missiles and radar."

Wan Ling pointed to the space between the naval gun and the bridge, and said, "There is a general-purpose missile vertical launch system, which can launch not only large ship-to-ship missiles, but also ship-to-air missiles. If the enemy can produce aircraft in the future."

"Now Mr. Gao and the others are researching flying missiles, which fly in the atmosphere. When we develop ballistic missiles that can fly out of the atmosphere, we will be able to launch satellites, and then we will be able to equip them with global navigation systems. By then We can use the vertical launch system to launch cruise missiles, and if we want, our missiles can hit the earth!"

Wan Ling pointed to the empty bridge and said: "Look, there is only one radome there, and the blank space is reserved for new radars. You also know that different radars emit different frequencies of electromagnetic waves. Radars of different frequencies They have different characteristics, such as electromagnetic waves with relatively low frequencies, which are not affected by the curvature of the earth and can achieve beyond-horizon detection, but such electromagnetic waves have poor detection accuracy and are not suitable for sea and air surveillance radars."

"The radar frequency suitable for air-to-sea alert is higher than that of over-the-horizon radar, but it is not suitable for fire control radar to guide the attack of missiles and artillery. The frequency of fire control radar must be higher. If you want to obtain Very high frequencies require advanced magnetrons, which are under development; fire control radars also have high requirements for data processing, so we need high-performance microprocessors, to put it simply, computer chips, which need to be integrated Advances in circuits and semiconductor processing technology are still being studied.”

Lin Yuan nodded, and then asked, "What about the torpedo tubes and sonar? Are they installed?"

Wan Ling said: "The difficulty of developing torpedoes is absolutely no less than that of missiles and radars, so we haven't developed them yet, but we have installed torpedo tubes, and we can equip them if we develop torpedoes in the future. As for sonar, since the enemy has no submarines, we have No more sophisticated and complex anti-submarine sonar was installed, only echo sounders and echo logs were installed."

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Since this is the case, it is more than enough to fight against the fleets of the great powers of this era anyway."

At this moment, a follower came over and asked: "Mr. Wan, can we start the launching ceremony now?"

Wan Ling nodded, and the entourage said, "May I ask Lin Shuai to say a few words?"

Wan Ling looked back at Lin Yuan, and said, "I didn't want you to talk at first, do you want to talk?"

Lin Yuan said: "Then let me just say a few words, it's not good if you don't talk when you come here." So Lin Yuan walked to the front of the microphone and said loudly: "I don't have much to say, I just want to say , everyone keep working hard, we will build more warships in the future! No enemy will dare to bully us anymore!"

After everyone cheered for a while, an officer said loudly: "Now, the launching ceremony of the mocking wind ship has officially begun. Please Lin Shuai open the gate of the floating dock!"

Lin Yuan walked to the front of the gate control button, stretched out his hand and waved at the crowd, and the people below cheered loudly again, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This cheer is not bad, at least it is different from the one in the British man-made shipyard. up and down."

Lin Yuan put his hands on the button while thinking, and everyone immediately calmed down and looked at Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan pressed hard, only to hear the prompt sound of "Didi Di" from the gates on both sides. Gradually, the gates closed. It opened with a "rumble", and the water outside flowed into the bottom of the dock with a "crash", more and more water, and slowly lifted the mocking windship.

The mocking windship is getting higher and higher, and has gradually risen to the surface of the sea. The hull of the ship is fixed on the dock on the shore with iron cables, so the warship does not move under the current. Wan Ling said to Lin Yuan: "Let's go to the ship Take a look, the sea trial will be conducted soon."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Great, I'm just going to see how fast our warship can run."

Wan Ling said: "This warship can reach a maximum speed of 32 knots under the condition of being fully loaded. Now that it is empty, the speed should reach 33 knots."

Lin Yuan and Wan Ling boarded the mocking wind ship while they were talking, and the crew of the mocking wind ship also came on board. The officers working in the gun, radar, turbine, sonar and other departments were all selected from the Beijing ship. , the captain is Wu Xinghai, the deputy captain of the flying brigade on the Beijing ship. In fact, the gap between pilots and naval commanders is not as far as imagined. The air force and navy have many things in common, for example, they have to learn navigation Knowledge.

Lin Yuan shook hands with them one by one, and then went to inspect the sailors. The sailors had already taken their positions behind the naval guns. Lin Yuan took a closer look and found a few familiar faces among the crowd. They were The cadets Lin Yuan met at the Naval Academy.

It is also Lin Yuan's idea to let the students train as sailors on the ship. After all, there will be more and more warships in the future, and there will be no good commanders. These sailors will become commanders in the future. After Lin Yuan's review, he came to the command room Command: "Navigation test begins, target: radar speed zone, move forward!"
