Chapter 1066: Casting the Backbone 2

"Okay, everyone, Yan Boxun has already said it, I think everyone should understand one thing, that is, aircraft carriers are not bigger than better, and the reason why British and American aircraft carriers are big is because of their hulls, we can achieve better performance with smaller tonnage. As for the question of how to build the third-class aircraft carrier, that is a matter for later, in short, now I think that the standard displacement of the second-class aircraft carrier should not exceed 32,000 tons! Of course, the external nominal is 28,000 tons. It is expected that we will build 4 ships as the main force of our navy's sea-based aviation forces during the treaty period! Seeing that the discussion between the two sides was almost over, Xu Jie made the final decision.

After finalizing the tonnage of the aircraft carrier, the rest has nothing to do with Yang Yonglin and others, and the hard-working Comrade Yan Boxun needs to continue his design work by himself and start busy with the second class aircraft carrier in China. Overall, the Huaxia II-class aircraft carrier can be seen as an optimization and improvement of the Japanese Navy's Taiho-class aircraft carrier in history...... The same armored deck, the same double-decker hangar. Even the defense standards are about the same, it's not that Xu Jie doesn't want to go up, but the thickness of the flight deck is almost the limit, even if the hull is the size .........of Shinano, it still can't resist 800kg armor-piercing shells, because the weight of the upper armor plate is too heavy, and it is a little unbearable to use the box-shaped support.

Xu Jie's improvements based on the Dafeng-class aircraft carrier include the following points, the first is to increase the height of the original double-layer hangar, at least to ensure that it is about 5 meters, and the problem of deepening the draft caused by the increased weight is solved by increasing the lightning protection protrusion. In addition, the abandonment of the hull amidships, the entire aircraft carrier hangar was made up of a flat deck, and two foldable side chord lifts were deployed on the port side and one on the starboard side. Because the lower hangar is almost close to the waterline. So the three lifts only communicate with the upper hangar and cannot communicate with the lower hangar. In order to solve this problem, this problem is solved by arranging an internal elevator that only connects the upper and lower hangars. Although this layout is a bit cumbersome, it at least avoids the situation that the elevator is arranged on the central axis and then destroyed or stuck by a bomb.

At the same time, because of the elimination of an intermediate lift (the other one is used to communicate up and down the hangar. It's just that it doesn't open on the flight deck, and it still takes up hull space. The effective length of the hangar has increased by about 15 meters. In the end, the effective hangar length reached about 165 meters. Advance does not necessarily increase the carrier capacity.

Secondly, a beveled deck with an inclination of about 8 degrees is deployed on the port side of the hull. (Don't think that all angled decks must protrude like aircraft carriers like Essex or Dreadnought, interested readers can Baidu the information on the installation of inclined decks of British light aircraft carriers, the hull has not changed much) A catapult is planned to be deployed on this inclined deck. It is also possible to launch an emergency catapult aircraft when necessary. But the biggest purpose is to place the plane that fails to take off and land and crashes directly into the plane in front. Historically, before the sloping deck came out, in order to place an aircraft that failed to land, it was generally blocked by a barrage net in order to place an aircraft parked at the front of the deck. Even if the plane is stopped, it will probably cause serious damage ..........

One of the biggest benefits of the sloping deck when it first appeared was that it could be re-flown around. Once the landing fails, you can continue to pull up. Avoided the nightmare of bumping into each other. Of course, it is not that the angle directly to the central axis is larger and larger, because if the angle is too large, the difference between the sailing angle and the battleship will be larger, and the landing will be adversely affected by the synthetic customs and the speed of the battleship. So the angle is the best, although the most suitable angle is Xu Jie can't remember clearly, but Xu Jie remembers that the earliest aircraft carrier was a 6-degree inclined deck, and now he has an 8-degree one, so the problem shouldn't be big, and the rest will be explored slowly. And because of the beveled deck. The width of the entire aircraft carrier will also increase a little. As for the specific amount, it depends on Yan Boxun's design. …。

The third direction of improvement is to equip the fire extinguishing and ventilation equipment of the whole ship with independent diesel engines as power. In case the fire extinguishing and ventilation equipment of the entire battleship was paralyzed after being damaged in the power compartment. At the same time, important power lines are provided with additional protection and backup lines are prepared to avoid power outages.

The fourth change is the addition of an optical landing device. Although Xu Jie was born in the navy, he is not a personnel on an aircraft carrier, and he only knows a concept of optical landing, and knows that there will not be a series of things like traffic lights at the stern of the ship. But how it works and the details are not clear, and this thing can only be a concept, so that the people below slowly explore ..........

The last change is the change of the power system, which ship power in the world was stronger at the beginning of World War II? Naturally, France is unmistakable. Whether it was the Fantasy, one of the fastest super-destroyers at the time (there was also one that was said to be faster, I forgot the name!). Or the fastest battleship at that time, the Rissere. The power system of the ships of the French 2 war has always been low in weight...... It is known for its high power and stable performance. The Utopia has a design power of 93,000 horsepower, but in practice it can run for 8 hours with 105,000 horsepower. Or run for 1 hour with an output close to 120,000 horsepower. (It is said that the power weight of the Fantasy is just over 1,000 tons, but it is said.) Among the new ships in Europe, the Richelieu has the lowest power weight, but the largest power output. The output of 178,000 hp is unrivaled. This technique did not speak of in Europe, even the United States did not perform so well in the early days of the war.

So Xu Jie decided to introduce French boiler and turbine technology. It is used on Huaxia's own aircraft carrier, so it is estimated that it can save a lot of space and weight. At the same time, the new ship will also retain another advantage of Dafeng, that is, the amount of aviation fuel is sufficient, the history of Dafeng's aviation fuel is 1000 tons, this data is twice as high as Xianghe! The latter has an aviation fuel capacity of only 495 tons. In short, after such improvements. The new generation of aircraft carriers in China will definitely be much stronger than the historical Dafeng. Of course, it comes at the cost of a lot more weight. According to the final calculations, the tonnage of Huaxia's new aircraft carrier will be more than 32,000 tons..........

According to the plan and the remaining tonnage, Huaxia could complete 4 such warships. In that case, the total tonnage of the Chinese navy's aircraft carriers will be about 150,000 tons during the treaty period. There are 40,000 tons left. How exactly is this tonnage used? Xu Jie also made some difficulties, according to the treaty, it is impossible to build more warships of more than 27,000 tons, so the only thing left is to build two aircraft carriers of more than 20,000 tons. This tonnage can be described as high or low. Considering that the aviation forces of both the Entente and the Allied countries are more ferocious in this plane, no matter which one Huaxia opposes, the aircraft carrier will be under tremendous pressure, so Xu Jie still wants to build two armored aircraft carriers.

Why don't you take out the armored aircraft carrier that was given to Italy in the first place? Xu Jie thought about it and felt pretty good. A single-story hangar is a single-story hangar. Anyway, this class of aircraft carriers is not going to be used until the end of the war. Even if he survives, it is estimated that he will retire in a few years. In this way, China can have 8 fleet aircraft carriers, while the United States has a maximum of 5 to 6 fleet aircraft carriers, and Britain has almost 4 to 5 aircraft carriers. And Germany should be about 5 ships. And Austria-Hungary, France and Italy should be about 3 ships. As for the little brothers of the Allies, it would be good if they could make up 3 ships..........

If China is a country against one group, it will definitely not work, but if it can remain neutral or join forces with one of the groups against the other, then the odds of victory are very great. If nothing else, the Entente and the Central Powers will meet each other at some point in the future, and Huaxia will choose to join one of them depending on the situation. During the First World War, China did not directly participate in the war for the sake of Siberia, and the Second World War was the last chance to change the map. Huaxia plans to take advantage of this opportunity to make another handful! …。

And after having a fleet, the next step is the layout of the fleet, according to Xu Jie's assumption, the two Liaoning-class good air carriers are not suitable for cruel sea fighting, their protection is too poor. Therefore, the formation of these two aircraft carriers will be deployed in the Yellow Sea, with Lushun Dalian as a base, and will be responsible for the training of naval aviation. The four capital aircraft carriers of more than 30,000 tons will be divided into two battle groups. One of them will be deployed in the South Seas, based in the former Batavia, and the other will be deployed in the East China Sea, based in Shanghai. The last two armored aircraft carriers in their early 20,000s will be based in Haikou...... Ready to fight ......... south.

"I hope the Germans get acquainted with each other." Such a layout will be completely a posture of crossing the Strait of Malacca at any time, and it is impossible to use it to guard against Britain, and Britain at this time is no longer qualified to let China be on guard. The originally very weak aircraft carrier fleet will be divided into two groups. One group defended the homeland, and the other defended India. Such a deployment could only be used to contain the fleet of the Central Powers led by Germany!

But what Xu Jie didn't expect was that. Germany's will to expand was so firm and moved so quickly that not long after the end of the war, when all countries were licking their wounds, Germany had already begun to lay down one shadow after another! And the first opponent targeted by the Germans this time was actually their former ally, Italy, which had made great contributions to the Allied countries in World War 1!

A figure who was once famous in history has stepped onto the stage of history. His task was to find another equally famous guy to overthrow the whole of Italy and make it firmly on the side of the Allies. Kaiser Wilhelm II took this plan very seriously, and even many of the top brass of the army did not know much about it, they only knew that if there was a guy named Ribbentrop who wanted some help, they had to provide it without reservation! …。
