Chapter 286: Ghost Fleet [81/100]
However, Li Chuan built the Ghost International not to defeat the small countries in the world, but to restrain Americans so that he would not keep him staring at Huasheng Technology all day long.
Therefore, if Ghost International wants to find fault with the Americans, it must have a fleet and a maritime military force that can fight against the United States!
Li Chuan stayed in Antarctica for more than an hour before returning to Taoling. The base dock was about to be completed, so the construction of the warship would not be too far away. You have to take out mature design drawings.
After returning, Li Chuan locked himself in the underground warehouse again in the following days and began to design submarine ships for the upcoming "Ghost Fleet".
When it comes to building a weapon and equipment, under the premise that all performance indicators meet the requirements, the smaller the better. This is the core data indicator of Li Chuan's design of warships for the "Ghost Fleet".
"Start work." Li Chuan rubbed his palms and said, "Xiaomu, build the model first according to my data, and I will use it later."
"No problem." Xiaomu's voice sounded from the underground warehouse.
As Xiaomu completed the data model efficiently and quickly, a three-dimensional model of equal proportions was displayed on the screen in front of him. Judging from the appearance of the model, it is a large warship, like a submarine, but obviously not. The middle and rear sections of the hull have five units launch windows. Compared with the design of the submarine, its appearance also has these obvious edges, although the edges are a bit round.
The warship designed by Lichuan is a light aircraft carrier with underwater deep-sea submarine capability, and the data parameters on the corner of the screen are displayed.
The length of the hull is 277 meters, the width of the hull is 58 meters, the height is 43 meters, and there is no flight deck.
The carrier-based aircraft completes ejection from the ship through the five-row launch window above the aircraft carrier, which means that it can meet the capacity of five aircraft to leave the ship at the same time.
The hangar inside the aircraft carrier is 170 meters long, 33 meters wide and 7.2 meters high; the standard displacement is 37,000 tons and the full load displacement is 50,000 tons.
The power problem of the mothership adopts a comprehensive power system like the black armor. This technology is applied to the black armor, which can be said to be quite mature, that is, full-electric propulsion.
The source of power is the reversal energy core, which can be said to be the most critical core technological point. The reversal energy core of the mothership uses an energy matrix, which is more than one or two levels higher than the energy stored by the energy ring driving the black armor.
The fastest speed of a carriage can reach 45 knots, which will become the fastest aircraft carrier in the world. In terms of endurance, the self-sustaining force in the sea can meet 75 days, which is indeed a gap compared to nuclear-powered ships, but it is completely enough.
The crew is 370+120 (pilot), and can carry 32 different models of carrier-based aircraft.
Diving aircraft carrier, this is Li Chuan’s goal plan, as the flagship of the “Ghost Fleet”.
There is no doubt that a deep-sea submersible fleet will be elusive and full of mystery, and the ghost fleet is just as its name suggests.
From the perspective of comprehensive technology development, satellites, radio wave signal positioning and shielding brought about by breakthroughs in quantum technology make submersible aircraft carriers that can be photographed underwater with unprecedented concealment. Compared with the current sea-surface aircraft carriers' powerlessness facing missiles, the huge advantages of submersible aircraft carriers can be reflected, but the various technical difficulties of submersible aircraft carriers are difficult to break through.
However, it is not beyond the reach of Li Chuan. In fact, he has already accumulated a lot of technical accumulation. Many key technologies can be applied to the black armor technology he has created for himself, such as reversing the energy core, which not only allows the submersible aircraft carrier to solve the energy problem, but also has efficient and clean energy. The integrated power system supports the full-electric propulsion of the mothership.
Since it is a submersible aircraft carrier and does not have a flight deck, it means that the carrier-based aircraft within the aircraft carrier does not need to surface when it takes off. It also means that the carrier-based aircraft has the ability to navigate underwater and also has the ability to fly in the air. This new carrier-based aircraft is defined by Lichuan as an amphibious fighter.
In addition to the mothership itself, the development of carrier-based aircraft must also be followed up at the same time. Fortunately, the biggest difficulty is undoubtedly the engine, and it must meet both sea and air flight capabilities. The requirements for various performance indicators of the engine can be said to be extremely demanding.
Fortunately, the biggest technical problem has been overcome by Lichuan here. The electric push of the black armor and the nanomaterial with the N4 unit structure perfectly overcomes the technical difficulties of the engine. It only needs to pass this technology onto the amphibious aircraft.
The best material for building carrier-based aircraft is obviously the nanomaterial with N4 unit structure. This artificially manufactured new material can be said to be the most comprehensive performance material in the world.
If the carrier-based aircraft is completely made of such materials, it is naturally the most perfect, but even a rich man like Li Chuan cannot stand it, which is obviously undesirable.
Therefore, N4 materials can only be used in key blocks, and the engine must be used. Other modules of carrier-based aircraft can choose traditional submarine materials and aviation materials, which can not only produce carrier-based aircraft, but also accept the cost.
The carrier-based aircraft on which the submersible aircraft carrier is four major aircraft: "fighter", "early warning aircraft", "electronic warfare aircraft" and "training aircraft".
There is no doubt that fighter jets are the absolute main force of the fleet and the most intuitive manifestation of the fleet's combat effectiveness. The amphibious fighter jet designed by Lichuan is a multi-purpose fighter, which requires high-altitude and high-speed interception capabilities, aerial combat capabilities, supersonic cruise capabilities, supersonic maneuverability, high-intensity and high-precision sea-to-ground attack capabilities, and also deep-sea combat and anti-submarine combat capabilities.
The benefits are self-evident. Comprehensive combat capability is reflected in logistics maintenance. You should know that the more models there are, the more complex models, it is definitely not a good thing. The war requirements are the simplest, most practical and the best. The more diverse and complex the models are, the greater the pressure on logistics support, the lower the attendance efficiency will be.
This is also why the tonnage of Yingshang's aircraft carrier is getting bigger and bigger now, but the carrier-based aircraft has gone from more than 100 aircraft to fifty or sixty today. That is because technological advances have enabled the new generation of carrier-based aircraft to perform multiple combat missions.
The fewer aircraft models, the maximum reduction of logistical pressure and cost expenditures. After all, the aircraft models are the same, so maintenance is much easier. You can make up for any missing parts immediately after changing them, or even remove useful parts from another aircraft when necessary.
The purpose of early warning aircraft is to use fleet air defense early warning and some command functions, and to carry out long-range anti-ship missile relay guidance and other tasks.
The function of electronic warfare aircraft is to conduct electronic reconnaissance, interference or attack models specifically targeting enemy radars, electronic guidance systems, radio communication equipment, etc. Its main task is to invalidate the enemy's air defense system and cover their own fighter jets to perform attack tasks smoothly.
The last model is the trainer aircraft, which is used for pilot training tasks on the mothership.
Whether it is a submersible aircraft carrier or a carrier-based aircraft, the biggest technical difficulty lies in energy and power, which is precisely because Li Chuan had overcome technical difficulties when designing his own black armor.
Not only submersible aircraft carriers use all-electric propulsion and integrated power systems, but the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carriers all use integrated power systems, and the fighter jets also use the first-generation electric thrust engine with black armor.
