Now that Zeppelin had been towed back to the Kiel shipyard to continue construction, Yard had stayed on the aircraft carrier every day to personally direct the subsequent construction work, and on this day Yard had come to the Led Zeppelin as usual, and he met the Inspector who had come to him. Of course, Li Mo was looking for him to glide and jump off the deck.

"Hey! Dr. Yard, I'm looking for something for you, and I hope it doesn't bother you. ”

"Oh! The overseer doesn't have to be so polite, you can just say something. ”

Li Mo took out a cigarette and gave one to Dr. Yard, and lit a match for Yard to light it, and the two smokers began to talk happily while swallowing the clouds:

"Dr. Yarder, you see that the bow flight deck of this Zeppelin aircraft carrier has a break of more than ten meters, and this distance of more than ten meters is not a huge waste for an aircraft carrier, I want to make use of it, let's lay a flight deck with a slope of eighteen degrees for this gap, and extend out of the hull by three or five meters, so that our flight deck will be extended by about twenty meters, and this slope will also allow the carrier-based aircraft to gain greater lift when taking off, what do you think."

"ON, ON, this can't be modified, our design is perfect."

Yade was very superstitious about his own design, and after listening to Li Mo's suggestion, he quickly shook his head and rejected Li Mo's suggestion. Is Li Mo someone who gives up so easily? Of course not, as long as Li Default is right, he will stick to it to the end, not to mention that the glide jump takeoff has been proven to be a very useful way to get carrier-based aircraft into the air in later generations.

"Dr. Yard, I would like to ask, if we put a deck on the bow of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, will it affect the structure of the ship's hull?"

"Not really."

"Then since it won't affect the structure of the hull, and the difficulty of laying this section of the sliding flight deck is not high, I will help solve the funds needed, so please ask Dr. Yard to help me lay this flight deck, if practice proves that this sliding flight deck is useless, let's cut it, do you think?"

"That's it! You can try this plan, of course, the carrier-based aircraft will get more lift when taking off on the deck with this slope, but this slope requires a lot of calculation and practice, I think let's first set up a simulation site at a military airfield in Kiel. ”

"Ahh Alright, alright, Dr. Yard, you are such a knowledgeable person......"

The rigor of the Germans is world-famous, and the eighteen-degree slip jump mentioned by Li Mo is not a fart in front of Yard, and Dr. Yard must use a lot of calculations and practice to calculate the angle of the slip. Li Mo was also preconceived, and the glide jump take-off in later generations was a jet, and the plane was much larger. It is important to know that the longer the plane, the smaller the slope of the glide jump, otherwise the front and back of the plane will collide with the flight deck of the glide jump, which is likely to destroy the aircraft at high speed.

"Krupp boy, you don't have to pat the old man's ass, if you have any other requirements, just say it!"

Yade is actually a traditional aristocrat, but they are small nobles, not very famous in Germany, Yade and the Krupp family still have a little friendship, because many of the cannons on the warship are produced by the Krupp company, so Yade often deals with Krupp, Yade and Krupp's personal relationship is also good, Yade often hugs the young Li Mo! Otherwise, Li Mo would not have been able to convince Yard, a rigorous engineer, so easily.

"Hehe, I still can't hide it from Uncle Yard, I don't think the anti-aircraft firepower of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier is enough."

"What? Bastard boy, you actually said that the anti-aircraft firepower of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier is insufficient, but it has 6 twin 105-mm anti-aircraft guns, 11 twin-linked 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 28 20-mm machine guns, such a powerful anti-aircraft firepower, you actually say that the anti-aircraft firepower is insufficient, it is really unreasonable boy. ”

"Uncle Yade, I think those four 150mm twin naval guns are useless, do we still need to use aircraft carriers to engage in naval artillery battles with the enemy? This is purely an act of seeking death, so we might as well replace these naval guns with sixteen 105-mm twin anti-aircraft guns. ”

"Are you really going to do this, aren't you afraid that old guy Raeder will punish you?"

"Hehe, Uncle Yade, do you think I'm a person who is afraid of things? You just have to change it, and I'll take responsibility. ”

"In fact, these eight 150mm twin-mounted naval guns were also required by the Admiralty, and the previous design did not have them, and I also knew that installing naval guns on aircraft carriers was a redundant move, but the cost was ......."

"I'll solve it, and I promise to solve this cost problem at one time."

"Alright! You kid......

"Yay...... Thank you, Uncle Yard. ”

Regardless of emotions or other reasons, the Kiel shipyard did not resist Li Mo's decision, but designed to add a glide jump take-off deck according to Li Mo's requirements, this laying of the flight deck is not a difficult thing, there is no change to the hull, and it can also be cut directly, and it has no impact on the hull, which is the main reason why Li Mo's proposal was not resisted by the Kiel shipyard. Of course, this jump angle still needs to be practiced and calculated, and as soon as this is done, the glide flight deck can be laid immediately.

Although the body of the piston aircraft is light, it is a torpedo bomber or an aircraft like JU87 as a carrier-based aircraft, so this sliding jump take-off is very important.

The effect of this glide jump will not be known until the Zeppelin is built and the sailing practice will be carried out.

As for the anti-aircraft fire, the number of Zeppelins can be called the world's largest, Zeppelin's 37 mm and 20 mm anti-aircraft guns are arranged on both sides of the ship's side, like human ears sticking out of the hull, this layout has two advantages, the first is not to occupy the aircraft carrier's valuable space, and the other advantage is that the muzzles of these anti-aircraft guns can be aimed at the water, that is to say, the depression angle of these anti-aircraft guns reaches minus 30 degrees, don't underestimate this depression angle, the anti-aircraft guns on both sides of Zeppelin can attack underwater objects 100 meters away from themselves, like torpedoes or something.

What ships are most afraid of is the murderous aura of torpedoes, even if it is a battleship of the Bismarck class, with an armor thickness of 380 mm, it will not be able to carry a few torpedoes, let alone a thin hull like an aircraft carrier. The enemy's air attack on large ships generally uses torpedoes as a weapon, and so many anti-aircraft artillery fire intercept and intercept the fired torpedoes, which are definitely torpedoes that have been destroyed and attacked, and as for the refraction of water, as long as a little training is sufficient, the quality of the German Navy is not bad.

The underwater threat has been reduced by more than half, and then it comes from the air, Zeppelin's hedgehog-like anti-aircraft artillery will let the enemy planes that come to the air know what the fire net is, of course, there is no way to intercept the aerial bombs dropped from the air, the problem is that the enemy aircraft needs to be able to fly over the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, and the bombing altitude must be maintained below 2000 kilometers, and it is difficult for high-altitude bombing to hit the target, especially the moving ship.
