Chapter 1044(2/2)

It is indeed a great trust for me to be the chief designer and chief builder of this ship.

"Commander, the Navy recommends adding two 203mm cannons to both sides of the aircraft carrier. It must be at least 155mm cannons, otherwise... once it encounters an enemy ship, the aircraft carrier will have no ability to fight back.

"

Xu Ermo thought for a long time before speaking out the navy's suggestion.

"...!" The aircraft carrier insists on having two cannons, and a fucking huge cannon with a caliber of more than 200 mm. What the hell are you thinking?

"The only weapon of an aircraft carrier can only be carrier-based aircraft, so those idiots in the Navy can rest assured. Whenever an aircraft carrier is dispatched, it will always be in a formation.

The current combat radius of carrier-based aircraft is 300 kilometers, and will be expanded to 500 kilometers, 800 kilometers or even 1,000 kilometers in the future.

Tell me, what kind of artillery can hit a place three hundred kilometers away?" Li Xiao explained while holding back his temper.

The minds of those in the Navy, including Li Xiu, are still at the stage of big ships and big guns. The aircraft carrier war has exceeded the limit of their imagination.

After all, the only things flying in the sky now are airships.

The lift of that thing is provided by a huge air bag, and the power is provided by a diesel engine inside the pod.

At present, the potential of airships has been developed to the extreme.

The speed can only stay at one hundred and eighty to two hundred kilometers per hour!

If the speed is any faster, the power difference between the pod and the airbag will affect the flight safety of the airship.

The speed of an airplane can easily exceed 300 kilometers. The current test version of the fighter-bomber has a maximum speed of 390 kilometers.

It is said that if the new engine is successfully developed, the top speed will exceed 400 kilometers per hour.

Currently, there are two types of aircraft developed by Daming. One is a heavy-duty aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of eight tons that can take off from land.

But this thing needs a runway of more than three kilometers.

The other one is a carrier-based aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of five and a half tons. It has already been researched, but according to Li Xiao's request, foldable wings have to be added, which has no choice but to delay the development time.

I believe that in another half year, it should be ready for final production.

Now in the Changbai Mountain area, in the man-made no-man's land, three test aircraft are undergoing flight training every day.

Rather than testing aircraft, it is better to train more pilots.
