441. Chapter 441

With the fall of Moscow, the fall of Vienna, the fall of Berlin, and the fall of Canada, the Windsor Empire is unprecedentedly large, with 900 million of the world's 1.3 billion people. The 300 million in the Great Qing Kingdom seems to be in Windsor's pocket, and it will soon soar to 1.2 billion, occupying an absolute advantage.

Downing believed that the final battle would take place in the North Atlantic, so he named the newest supercarrier the North Atlantic. This supercarrier will use a variety of the latest technologies, the most important of which is the technology of building pontoon bridges, so that the hull of the whole ship is three-body and the maximum range is reduced by water resistance.

The whole ship is equivalent to the displacement of 100,000 tons of traditional hulls, but due to the use of a three-body structure, it looks more massive and incomparable, with a total length of 333 meters, a width of 77 meters for fighters to take off and land, and a span of 111 meters for the three-body structure.

The supercarrier has 10 huge solar-harvesting sails on each side of the legs, allowing the entire ship to cruise at a speed of 10 knots (19 kilometers per hour) with zero energy consumption. It is powered at full speed by a hydrogen-fired turbine steam turbine that is normally built up from solar sails, reaching up to 30 knots (56 km/h).

The huge deck allowed it to lift 40 aircraft into the air at once, 15 on each side, with 5 planes in the middle reduced by the conning tower. The conning tower has a distinct mesh structure with slender poles, up to 300 meters high, supporting a streamlined appearance of radar and observation posts, which cannot accommodate people because they are too small.

This pole is not only hollow, but even the shell is empty, because the steel structure can be bent due to the strong wind at sea, so it must be mesh-shaped. The Earth is a sphere, so the line of sight is affected by the altitude, and the maximum limit distance that can be seen at this altitude of 300 meters is 61. 9 meters, the radar is also this number jΓΉ.

In normal times, the aircraft carrier will release an unmanned early warning aircraft to reconnoiter the surroundings at an altitude of several thousand meters, but if it encounters bad weather, it will rely on the radar on the high pole. In the event of war, the pole can also be raised twice as high as 900 meters with an excellent nested layer structure design, with a maximum viewing distance of 107. 2 km.

The huge interior of the hull brought its carrying capacity to 240 aircraft, which was 2 of the British's 40,000-ton Centennial Cyclops. 4 times. The most frightening thing for the enemy is probably the speed of its construction, you think, the construction of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge only takes 20 days, how long can this "mobile pontoon" take?

The trimaran hull makes the 333-meter-long ship to be built in three sections, and the overall structure requires about 1,000 meters of steel mesh weaving, and the theoretical speed is 10 days under the skillful hands of the steel mesh weaving machine. The main body in the middle still needs a large number of special steel plates, which are combined by a huge number of welding joints on the steel frame and steel mesh structure, which is super strong.

A 100,000-ton aircraft carrier in 10 days? It's scary! The last consolation of the Entente may have been that the buoyancy used by the North Atlantic came from "soft rubber". "Did the 240 planes that we puncture their rubber airbags sink to the bottom of the Atlantic? Ha ha! ”

First of all, it is almost impossible to build an aircraft carrier battle group, and even if there is no laser recharger on the aircraft carrier, the combat radius of the fighters reaches 500 kilometers. The hundred-eyed giant can also reach this number, and with the laser recharger, the ultimate combat radius of the UN's aircraft carrier aircraft is 1300 kilometers, which is still the case without external fuel tanks.

Secondly, in case the enemy really touches the front of the surprise attack. Our Tang Dashen also has a hidden skill: self-healing material airbags. This is the biggest difference between a battleship buoyancy airbag and a civilian pontoon. This material is a microcapsule embedded in the rubber, which is filled with repair material, and when the air bag is violently punctured, the repair microcapsule is also released, and it will immediately bridge the damaged position.

A self-repairing airbag needs to be hit by a shell 15 times in the same place before it can be completely deflated, which is almost negligible in a war, not to mention that even if an airbag is broken, the impact on the entire ship is not great. What seems to be the weakest place has become the strongest.

Our North Atlantic-class aircraft carriers are the true Unsinkable. When Vice Chairman Lin learned about the self-repair material technology, he sighed that Master Tang's earth-shattering magic skills really should never be the enemy of the great gods, otherwise he would not know how to die.

As Canada joined the Windsor Empire under the leadership of the Governor General and Queen Victoria, some British overseas territories continued to swear allegiance to the Queen, such as Bermuda, which is located between Europe and the United States and close to the United States. Its closest point to the continental United States is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about 1030 kilometers.

Situated between the last four Allied powers: the United States of America, the Confederate States of America, the United Kingdom, and France, Bermuda was chosen by the United Nations as the center for the formation of supercarriers. Various components of the aircraft carrier are manufactured globally and then shipped to Bermuda for final assembly.

It was colonized by the British for a long time, before the English colonization of the Act of Union of 1707, and was only slightly larger than the island of Manhattan (71). 7 square kilometres), because of its small size, the development of agriculture was not enough to feed its population, which led to the development of its shipbuilding industry, and the HMS-Pickle, the fastest dhow in Britain at the time, was built here, bringing the results of the Battle of Trafalgar back to England.

The Battle of Trafalgar was a naval battle launched by Napoleon the Great in his heyday to land in Britain, this battle was the turning point of the Anglo-French confrontation, after the war Napoleon the Great's naval elite was lost, and France was no longer able to land in England, and the British commander Nelson was killed by a stray bullet at the moment of victory is to make this historical turning point battle even more legendary.

The United Nations' global resources continue to flow to Bermuda through Canada, the Panama Canal, South America, Africa, Spain, and the Mediterranean, either by sea or by air, making Bermuda the most prosperous opportunity. Its seven main islands were in need of an efficient steel-mesh pontoon connection, which was a piece of cake for the United* team, which integrated global resources.

Supercarriers are also apparently built to build large offshore platforms, such as the Windsor Empire's one-of-a-kind sea supply depot, which can now be built into aircraft carriers. As long as the upper armed forces are reduced, the cost can be reduced to a very small level.

Because of the great increase in maneuverability, the survivability of the sea supply station has become very strong, and if the enemy forces deal with the supply station, it is similar to dealing with a quasi-aircraft carrier, especially in places close to the coasts of Britain, the United States, and France, the supply station is a quasi-aircraft carrier, and there are hundreds of armed aircraft on it, and those who trespass die.

Or it can also be said the other way around, after the aircraft carrier is built, it can be used as a supply station, make economic contributions on the route, and only come in handy when it is in war, and it can also be turned into treasure after the war, and the "fee" is of course a "wasted" "fee".

The third bullet in the shipbuilding industry, the steel mesh structure of civilian ships, that is, the three-body system, can enable ships of 10,000 tons to 30,000 tons to achieve zero-energy high-speed navigation with a cruising speed of 30 knots. The trimaran also has a great advantage, so that its waterline is greatly reduced, and the original shallow water that is only seaworthy to 100 tons can also pass through the 10,000-ton giant ship.

What's even more powerful is that you are no longer afraid of running aground, because as long as you lose weight, you can generate huge buoyancy and save yourself. How could such a Windsor shipping empire not be unbeatable? Even businessmen from Britain, France, and the United States have chosen the ultra-efficient services of the Windsor Shipping Empire almost 100% regardless of their unpatriotic hats.

The most spectacular feat of the three-dimensional mesh structure occurred on the Mekong River in Southeast Asia. The Mekong River floods every year due to the strange monsoon rains, which flood 800,000 square kilometres across Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

During the dry season, the watershed is scarce, and the greatest mystery of Angkor Wat, the wonder of the world, is its secret passage leading to a huge cistern that the ancient Cambodians relied on to build the world's largest human city at the time, with a population of 2 million people. Imagine how much water is needed.

The strange flood season has created strange inhabitants on both sides of the Mekong River, whose wooden houses are all built on the water, and when the flood comes, it will not overflow their homes unless it is too exaggerated. And if you travel there, you will see a three-year-old child playing in the flood without any sense of disobedience, with only a thin basin and bathtub underneath.

However, when the flood is no longer ferocious, these houses above the water will also be submerged, so the buoyant artificial ground designed by Downing for the flood season is precious. It is called a wonder because of the sheer scale of this wind-permeable, water-permeable three-dimensional mesh of man-made ground – covering all the towns and cities on the Mekong River and ensuring that 800,000 square kilometers of residents are not submerged during the flood season.

At this time, you can't use a steel rope ring, otherwise Boss Tang will have to go bankrupt. It depends on the situation, everything is used, and it is best to use recycled ultra-cheap materials, such as plastic, straw, vines, tree bark, and all of them can be rolled into circles to contribute to this 800,000-square-kilometer wonder of the world.

The buoyancy material is dominated by large, fully enclosed plastic air bags, which will be hundreds of millions when completed. This kind of floating is not enough to support large vehicles, so on the artificial ground of Boss Tang, only light vehicles can pass, for which he also instructed General Dynamics to design a special open-top bus for the people of the Mekong River.

Houses with such artificial floors cannot exceed two storeys at most, and they cannot be made of bricks and tiles, and must be made of wood. That's why wooden house manufacturers from all over the world gather here to show their talents. Poor people who don't have money can live in the Windsor Consortium's shelters with advertising boards.

Because the man-made floor is a "boutique" no matter how cheap it is, and the billboard shelters with all kinds of style, there is a different kind of beauty on the flooded Mekong River, which provokes a large number of tourists to come when the project did not reflect the characteristics of the wonder of the world at the beginning of the project.

Many Flying House travelers fly to the Mekong River in their own Flying House to see the iconic bare children playing in the water in the water village.

Actually, the flood also had a good side, it brought a huge number of fish, and these innocent creatures let you pick up in the river as if they didn't want money. The scene of the poor people in the Mekong River catching fish after solving the house problem is extraordinarily happy and beautiful. Maybe the flood is the reason why the wealth in this basin cannot be accumulated, and it can't be settled, but now the situation is different, if it can't be settled, let the wealth float.

The wooden stakes used to hold the man-made ground in place are enclosed in a moving circle, and no matter how high the flood water rises, it cannot submerge the ground, let alone the houses. If all the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic melts now and causes a global flood, I am afraid that not many people will survive, and the Mekong gang will be among the few human beings
