"Oh, you have a lot of appetite. Even the Kuz-Shitsov Design Bureau is fighting? This is one of the few design bureaus that Lao Maozi looks at. Zhang Lan's good appetite startled Xiao Chenxi and Alice, the two little girls. The two little girls didn't expect that Zhang Lan would actually shift their attention to the Kuznetsov Design Bureau.

The two little girls have a clear understanding of what kind of status the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier occupies in the Russian aerospace industry, in the current Russian aerospace industry, to a certain extent, the status of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau is even higher than that of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, the Miri Design Bureau and the Tupolev Design Bureau, which is such a behemoth in the Russian aerospace industry, and this kid actually wants to fight their idea? But the idea? Well, I like it.

"Is the Kuznetsov Design Bureau very awesome" Zhang Lan felt a little weak in his heart, of course, this kid understands the status of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier from Russia, but he understands it in his heart. is unwilling to fall into his own name. Snorting twice, the duck continued to harden its beak, "Count the hairs?" Not only the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, but even the Neva Design Bureau and the Northern Design Bureau, I have to fight their ideas! ”

"Why don't you fight the idea of the Red Stone Design Bureau and the Malachite Design Bureau?" Alice exclaimed, but she didn't know if this girl was pretending or was really surprised, although it seemed that this girl was indeed taken aback by Zhang Lan's somewhat arrogant words, "Neva Design Bureau and Northern Design Bureau? What do you want to do? That's just the half-dead guy of the Northern Design Bureau, the Neva Design Bureau, do you still want to design aircraft carriers in the future? ”

The Neva Design Bureau and the Kuznetsov Design Bureau were the cradle of equipment of the Soviet Navy in the former Soviet Union. No one can deny this, these two design bureaus are now out of the status of national treasures in Russia, Zhang Lan said that he hit the idea of the Neva Design Bureau and the Kuznetsov Design Bureau, no wonder these two girls were startled.

The difficulty of designing and manufacturing aircraft carriers is universally recognized, not to mention the Americans, who have a greater advantage in technology reserves in aircraft carriers, and even the former Soviet Union, which was strong enough to compete with the Americans in terms of navy, was extremely difficult to build aircraft carriers.

In order to design an aircraft carrier that could compete with the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers of the Americans, experts from many industries and about Qin were used. A number of factories and manufacturing plants completed this system project, and the final completed work that made the entire Soviet Navy proud was the lead ship of the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier: Marshal Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, which fulfilled the long-term dream of the former Soviet Union to have a large aircraft carrier capable of taking off and landing heavy fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft.

Well, the only regret is that the sister ship of the Marshal Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, the Varyag aircraft carrier, was aborted, and now the entire Russian Navy has only one aircraft carrier, the Marshal Kuznetsov, and such an aircraft carrier has to stay in the port for a long time for financial reasons. Even basic maintenance is difficult to guarantee, and the combat effectiveness is less than 70 percent, compared to the original one. The huge fleet that can compete with the Americans, and now the Russian naval power is really a bit shabby and sighing.

As a military enthusiast, Zhang Lan naturally understands how difficult it is to build an aircraft carrier. And how expensive is the cost of raising an aircraft carrier battle group, otherwise even if the Americans are so wealthy, they can only keep an aircraft carrier in service, the Americans are not stupid, of course they know that the more they have an aircraft carrier battle group, the stronger their control over the world, but the reality is that if they raise more aircraft carriers, they will not be able to afford it.

Even the wealthy old beauty feels a headache, let alone others?

Of course, the Thai aircraft carrier "Chakrina Daobet", with a displacement of just over 11,000 tons, is one, with the exception, that guy. At best, it can be counted as a large dual-use hybrid. Although he said that he did not have any problems in terms of funding, the most important thing was to make an aircraft carrier by himself. Who are you going to sell to?

If it is carried out in China, not to mention how the related supporting projects and research should be carried out. On the government's side alone, can they accept a foreign company to build an aircraft carrier on their own soil? Unless it's working with them. And whether it's built or sold. The use is under their supervision, otherwise they will never agree, this kind of thing is absolutely beyond the bottom line of what they can receive, although now almost all the companies in the world that can produce aircraft carriers are basically cooperating with the state. But. Well, or go to Indonesia to do it yourself? But in any case, engage in aircraft carriers

But at this time, Zhang Lan will not admit this no matter what, this kid must put on his previous words, "What's wrong with building an aircraft carrier?" Since the Americans can build, Lao Maozi can build, and even the Spanish Najian book sunburns and notches Shan) different body tires", said that reading is good to go outside. Xiao Ri's house can also be built, why can't I build it? "Son's mouth

"Do you really want to build an aircraft carrier? Xiao Chenxi stared at Zhang Lan thoughtfully, "You understand what I mean, right?" I'm not talking about the Spanish-built "Chakrina Changbet, aircraft carrier and" Prince of Asturias. but large and heavy aircraft carriers similar to the Kuznetsov-class of the former Soviet Union and the Nimitz-class of the Americans. ”

Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Chenxi's serious expression let him know that the things that this girl was talking about with herself were serious, not playing with herself, and on this issue, her answer and attitude directly affected this girl's decision. After hesitating for a moment, this Shanzi still nodded, "Yes, there is this idea, but now it is just this idea." ”

"That's right. Xiao Chenxi muttered and nodded, not continuing on this topic.

Zhang Lan also knows that building an aircraft carrier is too complicated, because building an aircraft carrier is not just about building an aircraft carrier, but a complete system engineering, the first thing that needs to be faced is to solve the problem of special steel required to build an aircraft carrier, and now, the special steel required to build an aircraft carrier is still in the hands of several countries led by the United States, Russia, Britain and France, and is tightly covered as a baby, not to mention wanting to get the formula of their aircraft carrier special steel. Even if you want to buy the finished product, they don't sell it to this special steel for aircraft carriers. The grade of steel is higher than that of large surface combat ships such as destroyers. ,

Of course, perhaps now there are enough technical reserves in China in this regard, after all, compared with the special steel required on the aircraft carrier, the performance requirements of the special steel required on the submarine are not lower than the performance of the special steel used on the aircraft carrier. It's not a hard problem to solve.

The most difficult to solve is the problem of carrier-based aircraft, if there is no carrier-based aircraft, the aircraft carrier is an iron coffin floating on the sea, and now there is no model in China that can be worthy of the carrier-based aircraft, whether it is Jian-7 or Jian-8, can not shoulder the heavy task of going on the ship, Russia's Sushao heavy carrier-based aircraft is good, it is a pity that Lao Maozi is not sold to us.

Since the old Maozi will not sell it to us, let alone the old "Tomcat" of the Americans turning into an old "Bumblebee", the planing away "Sea Harrier" of the Americans, and the "Rafale" of the French, these Westerners and Americans will absolutely not be able to sell our carrier-based aircraft, and there are still some chicken rib products that are tasteless and regrettable to discard.

Moreover, the variety of carrier-based aircraft alone is enough to make everyone's heads explode: fighters, early warning aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, attack aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, and at the current level of domestic aircraft design, if they are to make these things in a few years. It is estimated that they may not be able to break their legs, and this is almost applicable to themselves, and it is almost applicable to a single early warning aircraft suitable for the land curtain and the air force, and it has not been done so far.

Closely related to these various types of combat aircraft is the entire early warning and command system surrounding the fleet, and these are naturally inseparable from the satellite constellation composed of reconnaissance satellites, meteorological satellites, global positioning satellites, and other military satellites for various purposes.

In addition to the supporting aircraft, there are also matching ships, but if it is said that the supporting surface and underwater combat ships, this is not too big a problem now, and this is due to the huge family foundation that Zhang Lan, this kid brought from Lao Maozi, when the time comes, it is not a big problem to equip these ships into the aircraft carrier battle group. This is currently the only problem that the Chinese Navy can solve.

Not to mention the numerous radars and electronic equipment related to this, as well as the most important military command system, when a country's military strength has not developed to a certain extent, even if you can build an aircraft carrier, there is no matching combat effectiveness, it is of no practical significance.

The most important point is that even if these problems are solved for the time being, there is still a very important problem: a country must keep at least three aircraft carriers in service in order to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness and deterrence. Among these three aircraft carriers, one of them is on combat duty, one is overhauled, and one is undergoing training, that is to say, only the existence of three aircraft carrier battle groups can form a sufficiently effective aircraft carrier strategic deterrent capability.

It is estimated that as soon as the construction cost of these three aircraft carrier battle groups comes out, it will be enough for many people to blow up their scalps, and this problem is not something that China's current financial strength can support, not to mention the huge maintenance expenses in the later stage.
