Chapter 718 It’s OK if There Is None (First Update)
"We don't know how long it will take to have our own aircraft carrier!" Today, the leaders in the command center are mainly from the navy.
Every navy has a dream of a large fleet.
"It's not easy to have an aircraft carrier. It's not just the aircraft carrier itself, but also its escort formation, underwater big black fish, and carrier-based aircraft."
"We only have a little ability in frigates now, and this is the technology we learned from purchasing Niuniu's ships."
"And the Niuniu ships we purchased are still relatively backward models." These leaders also know that an aircraft carrier fleet is not just the aircraft carrier itself, the aircraft carrier itself is just a platform.
It is the things on the platform that show strength, such as carrier-based aircraft and other things on it.
Many countries do not understand this and think that as long as they have an aircraft carrier, they will be invincible.
If an aircraft carrier does not have a powerful frigate, it will be a huge target in the sea.
Of course, underwater big black fish is also a must, otherwise it may be eaten by the opponent's big black fish.
"The teaching building designed and built by Comrade Liu Hai really exceeded our imagination." When talking about aircraft carriers, these naval leaders have to mention the Teaching Building No. 001 of Oriental University.
"According to the calculation of his drawings by relevant experts, the full load displacement can reach 110,000 tons."
"If this level of aircraft carrier is built and fully equipped with frigates, it is likely that it can destroy a small or medium-sized country once it is deployed."
"Yes, I just don't know how long it will take Comrade Liu Hai to complete the internal design."
"The internal design is too complicated, and there are too many systems in the entire aircraft carrier."
"Comrade Liu Hai has too many things on his hands."
"However, relevant experts have repeatedly verified the drawings and found that the aircraft carrier designed by Comrade Liu Hai has excellent performance in all aspects."
"No one asked him how long it will take to complete the various systems inside the aircraft carrier."
"Let him play freely. Look at the flying motorcycle we have now. We didn't dare to think about it before."
"We have a long coastline, but the cost of this motorcycle is still a bit high."
The naval leaders also know that the cost of such a flying motorcycle with active radar is much higher than that without active radar.
"Don't worry about it. After all, we sell enough flying scooters. It's just that there's no need to make too many of them because the technology is updated too quickly. Look at the last generation of flying scooters. It's only been a few years since the current generation."
"I don't know if we old guys can see our country's aircraft carrier when we die!"
"It's too difficult to build an aircraft carrier. Although we have Niu Niu's aircraft carrier as a reference, their aircraft carrier is an old model."
"But don't worry, after all, our country's shipbuilding technology is getting more and more advanced."
"Merchant ships are built very large, but there are still many shortcomings in warships, especially the electronic systems, air defense, radar, etc. on warships."
These leaders talked here, mainly waiting for the other side to be ready before starting the next test.
These tests have strict plans. In order to conduct actual combat tests, the Navy specially dispatched two ships, which are 10,000-ton warships purchased from Niu Niu.
The two ships arrived at the designated location, only more than 500 meters away from the target.
Because the warhead of the flying scooter tested this time will not be loaded with much explosives.
However, the officers and soldiers on the two ships were also very nervous. After all, no one knew if there would be any accidents in this kind of actual combat test. If something went wrong in the middle, these flying scooters would hit them directly.
After hearing that the ships and the flying scooters on the shore were ready, the command center ordered to start the test.
First of all, the first test was that two flying scooters took off at the same time.
However, this time the flying scooters were painted gray, mainly to reduce visibility.
After all, the color was too bright, and the anti-aircraft machine guns on the ship were easy to find.
The anti-aircraft machine guns used here were still the anti-aircraft machine guns used in World War II, that is, 4 machine guns connected together.
The officers and soldiers on the two warships were very nervous. Those holding rifles held rifles, those holding machine guns held machine guns, and the anti-aircraft machine guns were ready long ago.
The radars on the two warships found two flying scooters.
The two flying scooters began their terminal low-altitude flight 10 kilometers away from the target, which made the anti-aircraft missiles on the two warships useless.
Anti-aircraft missiles have a firing height, and this time the height of the two flying scooters was only 2.5 meters.
At 10 kilometers, even the radar could not capture the traces of these flying scooters because they flew too low.
Although the captains of the two warships knew that the flying scooters were abnormal, they were sweating in the face of this situation.
Moreover, the two warships knew the direction from which the flying scooters came, and turned their sides to face the direction from which the flying scooters came.
Finally, the flying scooters were seen on the radar again, and the distance of the flying scooters was constantly broadcast.
"Where is it?" There were still many people on the warship holding telescopes, and the officers and soldiers who operated the anti-aircraft machine guns and held machine guns below listened to their companions' reports, but they did not see them.
"Where is it?"
"Where is it?" The low-visibility paint, coupled with flying low enough, made it difficult to find.
Finally, when the flying scooter approached the battleship within one thousand meters, the battleship in front opened fire.
The anti-aircraft guns only fired one round and then disappeared, because the flying motorcycle flew too low. Although these anti-aircraft machine guns can be used for both high-altitude and horizontal shooting, they are too low, just below the firing range.
Because the anti-aircraft machine guns were originally on the ship, much higher than the sea surface.
Then the officers and soldiers on the two ships used their rifles and machine guns to continuously shoot.
Hard work pays off, and one of the two flying motorcycles was hit.
But what is disappointing is that the other flying motorcycle successfully hit the target.
This flying motorcycle was indifferent to the two huge warships next to it, because both warships have enemy identification systems.
The captains of the two warships were sweating coldly, because the two warships, one in front and one in the back, were lined up in a straight line.
Such dense firepower actually had such a low interception rate against this kind of flying motorcycle.
After receiving the report from the command center, these leaders were also overjoyed.
Then in the second test, the terminal flight altitude of the flying scooters was raised to five meters, and there were still two flying scooters.
This time, with the experience of the last time, both flying scooters were intercepted, but the embarrassing thing was that the high-speed gun also shot holes in the target 500 meters away.
Then at the terminal flight altitude of 5 meters, 4 flying scooters were released at one time.
This time one flying scooter hit the target.
Then there were 6 flying scooters, flying at the terminal altitude of 5 meters, and this time three flying scooters hit the target.
Finally, at the terminal flight altitude of 8 meters, after several tests, the interception rate can reach 90%.
Of course, this interception rate is not accurate, because the terminal flight altitude is 8 meters, and the sea conditions are complicated.
In such a complicated sea condition, the officers and soldiers on the ship have no accuracy at all when shooting, and they may not even stand steadily.
What's more, all the warships were stopped during this test, and if the warships were sailing at high speed, it would be another problem.
A series of tests were conducted later, mainly the target towing test.
Then the interception test was conducted during high-speed navigation.
The main reason was that the sea radar at that time was not very advanced.
The sea radar needs to filter the clutter on the sea and analyze which ones are targets and which ones are not. This requires strong computing power and strong analysis capabilities, which requires chips.
This is why the Exocet missile was able to accurately hit the warships of the Bull in history.
Of course, according to the Bull propaganda, it was the commander's mistake, but it should also be recognized that Argentina itself did not lose many Exocet. If it lost five, six, seven or eight missiles at a time, I believe the Bull would not be able to intercept them.
However, there are many factors in war, and a simple analysis of any one of them cannot review the situation at the time.
Because sometimes it will perform beyond the normal, such as the interception rate is not good during the test, but if it really goes to war, maybe you are lucky enough to intercept one after another.
And maybe the flying motorcycle broke down during the flight.
The leaders are more looking forward to the solid fuel version of the flying motorcycle, because those who have worked in air defense know that the difficulty of interception will increase with increasing speed.
In just a few days, more than 100 flying scooters were used for testing. This kind of flying scooters with active radar is not cheap.
And in history, it is impossible to get so many for you to test at one time.
The cost of a flying scooter alone is hundreds of thousands, not to mention the sailing costs of two warships, etc.
This is also because the country has money to do such experiments.
And there are various versions of flying scooters in the future, solid fuel version, liquid fuel version, and then there is a long-range version.
After all these tests are completed, I am afraid that the cost alone will be tens of millions.
This is just the flying scooters, not to mention the anti-aircraft machine guns and rifles, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, etc. on the warships. These bullets are also money.
In history, it was difficult for the navy to get tens of millions of funds in the 1980s.
In this time and space, these flying scooters with a cost of tens of millions are all tested with live ammunition.
When Liu Hai saw these data, it was already mid-July.
Because Liu Hai took his family to Hainan again in early July, the old leader named Little Pomegranate, so we should take a look.
Although Liu Hai felt a little strange about Little Pomegranate being called Liu Kun, after all, someone later ruined the reputation of the word Kun. Originally, it was the Kun of Qiankun, but I don’t know how it became like that later.
Because the child is still young, they take the train back and forth. After the old leader lost weight, his health improved a lot and he can walk around with a cane.
In fact, if you are too fat when you are old, it is easy to cause a series of problems, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular hypertension.
Of course, this is not absolute, it just means that if you are fat, you are more likely to get these diseases than thin people.
Of course, Liu Hai thinks it may have something to do with Chinese medicine conditioning.
"Is there no good way to intercept this flying scooter now?" Sun Aiguo asked Liu Hai after seeing the test data.
The fan in the office was blowing. Because Liu Hai's office is a bungalow, it is enough to blow an electric fan in summer.
"Difficult!" Liu Hai shook his head. At this stage, it is too difficult to intercept the flying motorcycle.
Bald Eagle's first generation of densely packed MK-15 has been in service since 1977, but there are many problems.
The first problem is that when the target is flying over the sea, the tracking radar may have a low-altitude image problem in a low-angle tracking state.
At this time, the electromagnetic wave will produce a multipath effect, and the reflected wave will be refracted by the sea surface. The computer will calculate based on this situation, which may lead to the wrong target position.
Therefore, the radar wave swings up and down between the real target and the phantom below the sea surface, which may make the radar unable to correctly distinguish the target flying close to the water surface from the phantom.
The second problem is that in the subsequent use, it was found that this system ignores some low-speed targets, that is, the target speed is low, and the system will ignore its threat. After all, there are many creatures on the sea.
These two situations were not solved until the mid-to-late 1980s after a lot of tests. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to use a lot of test data to correct the data filtering model of his radar.
And no matter what defense system, there is no solution to saturation attack.
"That's good, anyway, we are not strong in the navy now." Sun Aiguo felt very happy about Liu Hai's answer.
Liu Hai nodded. There is not much he can help with the navy. Of course, the navy is much better at this stage than in history.
First of all, the ship gas turbine technology purchased from Niu Niu has been basically mastered, and Niu Niu dealers have transferred the civilian shipbuilding industry to us.
The development of the civilian shipbuilding industry will greatly promote the various technologies of military ships.
In addition, several 10,000-ton warships were purchased from Niu Niu. Although they are a bit backward, they are much better than in history.
As for the vertical launch system, these bangs can help, but they are not necessary at this stage, because the vertical launch system requires advanced radar and electronic systems.
The simple vertical launch system itself does not have much combat capability and depends entirely on radar guidance and locking.
However, in terms of radar, our country is much better than in history, because the radar on the armed helicopters that cooperated with Gaul was miniaturized, and we also learned a lot of technology.
The radar and electronic information of Gaul are no less backward than the bald eagle in this era.
Moreover, Gaul has sold so many helicopters, and it also has money to continue to upgrade the various electronic information and radar fire control systems on the helicopters.
Because once the upgrade is successful, it can be upgraded to other customers and make money from them.
The after-sales service of helicopters is all done by Gaul. We only provide parts for hardware.
Although we make less money, Bald Eagle also makes less money.
After all, these helicopters squeeze Bald Eagle's helicopter market.
Anyway, Liu Hai knows that after the collapse of Fat Bear, the number of various helicopters in various countries may be used for 40 to 50 years.
There are too many helicopters equipped by various countries in history, because Liu Hai originally planned to make the helicopter market bad so that Bald Eagle will have no market in the future.
In fact, it is not bad, after all, these helicopters will need maintenance and engine replacement in the future, and we will also have to buy our parts.
And to put it bluntly, whether it is Bald Eagle or Gaul, they are far away from us, and after all, Gaul is much more honest in doing business than Bald Eagle.
"They hope to see a flying motorcycle with a range of 1,500 kilometers." Sun Aiguo said again.
Liu Hai shook his head when he heard this: "The error of a range of 1,500 kilometers will be very large. In my imagination, a flying motorcycle with a range of 1,500 kilometers needs satellite navigation positioning."
"It's okay if the error is larger. We just need to fire more at a time."
"In addition, it will be the same if it is upgraded after it is made at this stage."
"And sometimes it doesn't matter whether we hit or not, but we have to let the other side know where we can hit."
Liu Hai heard this and said: "In this case, I think it's better to use tactical missiles."
