Chapter 168

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Dong Chen, who was calculating the data of the electromagnetic catapult, heard someone knocking on the door, changed the page of the laptop to a movie page, sorted out the sketches that were scribbled on the table, and went to open the door.

He checked the door and said, "Hey, why are you three coming here when you have time?" He let them in while talking.

"Why, can't we come in? It's as if you and we are both busy." Gu Ya answered Dong Chen's words first, but at the same time, he also took Dong Chen's army.

"Haha, Dong Chen, you shouldn't have asked this question. No matter how you answer it, you can't answer it well." Doudou, who was following behind, teased.

Immediately afterwards, the little braid came in and said, "Don't talk about Baoya, we just came to ask you for a drink. Anyway, if you are idle in the dormitory, you are idle."

"That's right, wait a minute, I'll move the table." Dong Chen brought them in, let them sit on the bed first, and cleared the table by himself.

"I'll help you", the little braid came up to help Dong Chen get the computer, saw the movie screen paused on Dong Chen's computer, turned around and said to the two of them, "I just said that Dong Chen is as free as us, you don't want to come .”

"Okay, I said to help Dong Chen clean up the table, and I was babbling over there, throwing the computer on the bed, and moving the table to this side." Doudou said to the somewhat proud little pigtail.

The little pigtail closed the computer and put it on Dong Chen's bed, then came to tidy up the sketches and manuscripts with him, looked at Dong Chen's sketches and sighed: "I don't admire you, they are not really as idle as we are, you Seeing that they have drawn so many sketches, it's no wonder that they are unanimously favored by several big bosses in the base."

Dong Chen just smiled at this, "I'm also lucky. I just came up with an idea. It's not certain whether it will come true."

Dong Chen took the draft from the pigtail and put it in the drawer together with the drafts he packed up, then swept some small things into the drawer, and moved the table next to the bed with the pigtail.

It was originally a single dormitory, with only one chair. If you want to sit together and drink, you have to move the table to the bed and let them sit on the bed.

Put some appetizers and canned beer brought from the cafeteria on the table, and share a pair of chopsticks for each person. Baoya first picked up the beer and took a sip, "Ha~, although this base is not allowed to go out, it is prepared. All kinds of supplies are abundant, and there is no restriction on drinking alcohol, as long as you don’t make trouble after drinking to your death.”

"Yeah, I used to have a mission. It was really strict. You can't touch a drop of alcohol, and there are so many rules. It's better here. Come on, let's drink one together first." The braid opened two cans of beer Put them in front of Doudou and Dong Chen respectively, then opened a can for himself and said.

Dong Chen, who was taking apart the chopsticks, thanked them, followed them to take a sip, and then listened to them talk about the tasks they performed in various places. Of course, at most, they talked about some interesting or unlucky daily routines. To keep it secret.

As we talked, this brought us to this mission, and Dong Chen had something to talk to them about, "Hey, do you think that the super aircraft carrier we are building is different from the newly launched super aircraft carrier in the United States? It’s pretty close to completion.”

"Yes, I also have this feeling. Although a few months ago, the U.S. Navy announced that the "Ford" aircraft carrier had completed all sea trials and was about to be handed over to the U.S. Navy. Not to mention that this is a result that has been delayed for several years, it is released in such a hurry, and it is not for the sake of becoming the number one in the world." Baoya also had this idea, and said a lot of things eloquently .

"There are signs of grabbing the number one spot, but it's also possible that it's too late. After all, it's been several years behind the original plan, and many aircraft carriers are about to retire, so new aircraft carriers are needed." Doudou He also said after taking a sip.

"This product is already 130 billion yuan, but if military contractors want to make money, they must be limped. There is nothing wrong with it." The little braid took a bite of the food and said, "The things in our country are still high-quality and cheap, although We don't know how much it cost, but the cost must be much cheaper than them."

"That's right, and the technical demonstration is also very strict, step by step, we won't create that kind of unreliable guy just for a while, and if Dong Chen's new electromagnetic ejection plan is successful, then we will have another There is a technology that is more advanced than the US aircraft carrier, come, do it for our super aircraft carrier." Doudou suggested loudly.

"Okay, dry this can."

"It's done, Dong Chen should drink more, haha."

"Fuck you, you want me to drink more, there's no way."

"Hahaha……"

A few months ago, America's newest super aircraft carrier finally entered service. It was originally planned to complete the construction and launch in 2015. As a result, there have been problems during the construction and experimentation process. It was delayed again and again, and it was not delivered until this year. Navy service, for this reason, the President of the United States also specially boarded the "Ford" aircraft carrier, delivered a speech with high will, and vowed to provide the US Navy with the most advanced equipment in the world.

However, this super aircraft carrier, which claims to be invincible in the world, is now plagued by many technical problems.

Although the "Ford" aircraft carrier has officially entered service, there are still a large number of defects and unfinished parts. It will not be able to perform its first combat deployment mission in the next four years, and tests and modifications are still required.

The "Ford" aircraft carrier adopts a redesigned small island and a brand-new all-electric propulsion system, and is equipped with the latest carrier-based aircraft. In the future, it plans to equip unmanned combat aircraft, electromagnetic rail guns, high-energy laser weapons and other conceptual weapons at the current stage. , known as the strongest generation of water strike force in the world today, is the main aircraft carrier for the US Navy to maintain its absolute advantage over other countries' navies in the next few decades.

It is true that a large number of high-tech applications have brought leading advantages in military weapon technology, but the "side effects" brought about by the large-scale application of high-tech are not small.Due to the blind pursuit of the technical advantages of weapons and equipment, the United States often applies a large number of new technologies that have not been fully tested and are not very mature to the research and development of weapons and equipment. As a result, the technical indicators of the developed weapons and equipment are improved, but the reliability is low Significantly lower, more importantly, the price will increase exponentially with the upgrade of technology.

The idea of ​​this "Ford"-class aircraft carrier is that everything is advanced, and everything is pushed upwards, and when they are all together, the result is that they can't do anything. This is a big problem.A lot of money was spent. The original budget was 80 billion U.S. dollars, but now it has spent 130 billion U.S. dollars. When it is actually used to form a combat force, it may cost 160 billion U.S. dollars.

Serious technical problems due to immature technology have always been the "common problem" of the new generation of weapons and equipment in the United States. This is the development of high-tech military equipment in the United States, and most of their technologies come from private companies, but private companies must make money Yes, so you know the tricks here.

According to a report provided by the audit department of the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Navy’s delivery of the "Ford" aircraft carrier was delayed by 32 months from the original plan. Delivered to the Navy, but there are a large number of "intolerable" technical defects and unfinished parts, including mandatory shock tests, navigation certification and network security inspections, etc.

What is even more intolerable is that the electromagnetic ejection system of the "Ford" aircraft carrier also has many technical defects, which has caused it to be unable to eject and take off fully loaded aircraft, which will directly affect the dispatch efficiency of carrier-based aircraft.

In addition, the report also claimed that the new generation of turbine generators used by the "Ford" aircraft carrier has been found to have major flaws in the design of the entire system, which has caused multiple failures.There are also major hidden dangers in the newly designed electrical circuits, nuclear reactors, arresting equipment, and radar configurations.

Then when the aircraft carrier is finally produced, the reliability and stability are still not guaranteed. After it is produced, the navy did not dare to accept it, because it is a war thing. It is not a weapon and equipment expo for you to see and it is over. Just demonstrate it. .It has to be used in wars, and wars pay attention to reliability, and reliability is the first priority. You have to be easy to use, effective, capable of fighting loudly, and capable of combat effectiveness.

The application of new technologies will allow the United States to maintain its global leading edge in the new generation of weapons and equipment, but the ensuing technical defects and price issues will become important factors that restrict the scale of the US military's equipment and even its combat effectiveness.When the new President of the United States came to power, he confidently declared that he would build 12 new-generation aircraft carrier battle groups for the Navy. For this reason, he also strongly demanded that Congress greatly increase the military budget.

However, the cost of a single "Ford" has reached 130 billion U.S. dollars. If you add the configuration of personnel and equipment and the cost of decades of use, it will cost hundreds of billions to build 12 aircraft carriers The battle group is an astronomical figure. You must know that the annual military expenditure of the United States is only a few hundred billion yuan.
