Chapter 32 Mistaken Events
"What's this, that, forget about it right away!" Yang Rui said solemnly. He was so serious, Tan Gen could only nod honestly, but his fists were still waving, as a humiliated overseas Chinese in the United States, he wanted to fight with the Yankees too much, how could he not have enough national strength, and the Inspectorate was slamming the door, and the gap of ten to sixteen made him and his colleagues sigh for a long time.
After leveling the excited Tan Gen, Yang Rui took a closer look at the planes parked in the middle of the flight deck on both sides of the ship, and the brackets that supported the tail wheel of the aircraft on the outboard were a metal crossbar with an outstretched extension of about five or six meters, and two struts extending diagonally upwards from the hull at the bottom supported the crossbar from below. In this way, the head of the aircraft is facing inward, the tail is facing outward, half of it is overhanging, only about five meters wide on the flight deck, and the same is true on both sides, and there is a passage about 22 meters wide in the middle, which seems to be to facilitate the take-off of the aircraft.
"Airplane...... How did you stop like this? Won't it fall? Looking at the half-suspended plane, Yang Rui smiled dumbly.
"No, sir." Ye Zaifu Road. "In this way, the center of gravity of the plane is still in the inboard, and the protruding crossbar is just a support. If it is parked as before, the entire flight deck will not only be unobstructed, but also inconvenient for the aircraft arrangement. Changing it to this will not only make it easier to arrange the planes, but also greatly increase the number of sorties at one time. ”
Due to space limitations, it is very difficult for 110 planes to be released in a wave of attacks, and the number of planes released in a wave has a bearing on the combat strength and attack effectiveness of aircraft carriers. Therefore, how to maximize the arrangement of aircraft on the flight deck and use the upper hangar and elevator arrangement is a very challenging thing for on-site management ability. In order to increase the number of sorties flown in one wave, the upper hangar has been designed as an open hangar for warm-up, and the flight deck has been lengthened as much as possible - according to immature experience. The flight deck, which is about 220 meters long, can fly 30 planes in one wave, and about 45 planes at 250 meters. 270 meters is more than 50 planes. Of course, this is based on the number of fighters, dive planes, and torpedo planes on a one-to-one basis. If fighters or dives are in the majority, the number can be increased.
Although we do not know the exact type of aircraft of the US aircraft carrier, it is certain that it is impossible for half of its fighters to be attacked, which is equivalent to saying that once attacked, under the entanglement of the attack formation escort fighters, the only thing that can really stop the dive and torpedo planes is anti-aircraft fire. Judging from the density of the anti-aircraft fire of the US aircraft carriers, which is known from the photographs, they will basically die as soon as they attack, and if the number of planes released in the first wave is increased, they will die faster and more completely.
'Avoid being discovered, avoid being hit, avoid being knocked down, avoid being sunk'. The principle of four-tier defense in aircraft carrier operations can be understood backwards when attacking. The ongoing 'Sky Eye' program is aimed at 'avoiding detection' and is striving to increase the number of sorties to 'avoid being hit', while the improved and expensive tungsten core armor-piercing projectiles and new high-altitude and high-speed aviation torpedoes are aimed at 'avoiding being shot down', and finally 'avoiding being sunk' depends on the US military's ability to manage damage and the power of its own bombs.
"How much can you fly at once?" Yang Rui looked at Tan Gen, who was still excited about building a ship quickly.
"Sixty is the least!" Tan Gen replied with a red face, "We are now trying to find a way to achieve a single attack and release seventy-two planes. ”
"Six squadrons?" Yang Ruimo calculated it and felt that this number was extremely huge.
"Yes, six squadrons." Tan Gen said proudly. Except for a small number of newly added pilots, the pilots on the new Changning are all old birds, and he believes that this number can be reached under his own management.
"What if I go out and run empty?" Yang Rui asked with a smile. I deliberately wanted to embarrass him.
"Running short?" Tan Gen was stunned for a moment, then he was deflated, and his voice was much lower, "The reconnaissance plane mainly relies on radar to search. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to make mistakes, but whether the communication between the reconnaissance plane and the mothership is smooth during the operation, and whether the transmitter can accurately report the position of the enemy ship, these are all things that depend on the blessing of Mazu. If the first wave of attacks runs short. One can only hope for a second wave of attacks, if the second wave is still empty. That is, bad luck and poor character. ”
"If only you understood." Yang Rui nodded. "Anything can happen on the battlefield, so don't be absolute; There are gains and losses to any choice on the battlefield. So don't hesitate. ”
"Remember the teachings of your lords!" Tan Gen said loudly, saliva almost touching Yang Rui's face.
"This is just a principle of battlefield decision-making, and any battlefield commander has learned it, and what is not taught." Yang Rui didn't want to be offered as a leader below, and every word became a guideline, so he was the way again. As he spoke, he happened to walk to the bridge, and when he put his hand on the outer wall of the bridge, he suddenly realized that it was actually aluminum. "This is aluminum?" He wondered.
"Yes, sir. Although the flight deck is made of composite armor, it still has more than 2,000 tons. In order to reduce the center of gravity, all parts above the waterline had to be lightened, and the bridge was the most important thing because it was the tallest building on the ship. "Ye Zaifu said." Not only was it designed low, all the non-load-bearing parts were replaced with aluminum alloy, and the 127-mm anti-aircraft guns were all removed, and the long-range air defense was handed over to destroyers and cruisers. ”
"What if it's on fire?" Yang Rui asked. Aluminum alloy is not indispensable, but the strength of aluminum alloy is insufficient when it encounters heat.
"So it was used only on a large scale on the bridge." Ye Zaifu Road. "Some important compartments are focused on protection, others are secondary ......"
There are a lot of officers and soldiers on the bridge, and it is not easy to talk about it anymore when Ye Zaifu is talking. In fact, it is because the price of alumina ceramics is too expensive, 20 times that of armor steel, and the price per ton is as high as 20,000 yuan. The alumina ceramics used in the flight deck alone cost more than 13.3 million, so in addition to laying another layer of composite armor on the main deck below, only fiberglass was used in other places to reduce weight, and some secondary cabins were completely abandoned.
"The cost will come down." Yang Rui's flesh pain cost, but he is satisfied with its protective effect. Although he did not know the dive altitude of the US Navy's dive bombers, he could predict that in the early stage of the war, the damage caused by the US dive bombers to his aircraft carriers would be almost zero, and the defense only needed to beware of torpedo planes.
There is nothing to see about the bridge. The difference with the old ship is the addition of a cabin fire detection system and a shooting command system. The former is just that, and the latter is hindered by technical limitations. The Naval Design Bureau and the General Logistics Equipment Department did not come up with what Yang Rui expected, and they basically played their own role on the basis of the British Navy's firing command instrument obtained by the Japanese Navy and the Intelligence Bureau. The artillery of the whole ship is fighting separately, and the area is air defense.
After visiting the whole ship from top to bottom, he returned to the bridge to rest again, and when Yang Rui drank tea, he suddenly thought of the abandoned VT proximity signal tube (in history, the VT proximity signal tube cost one billion US dollars, and it can only be used for five-inch anti-aircraft guns, in order to reduce weight, the largest caliber anti-aircraft gun of the new Changning class is only 40 mm, even if there is a TV proximity signal tube, it cannot be used), he sighed, "Our use of radar is too inefficient." In other words, China's mathematics and computer level are still very backward. In my opinion, it is best for the fire control system to be able to unify command, detect by radar in real time, calculate, solve, and automatically adjust the angle of the artillery by the computer, and finally intercept it with artillery fire. If the 20-millimeter antiaircraft gun, which has a rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute, is combined into a multi-barreled antiaircraft gun with a rate of fire of 7,500 rounds per minute, it can directly intercept planes and bombs. ”
Ye Zaifu, Chen Quartz, and Tan Gen were all optimistic about the combat effectiveness and defense of the new Changning level, and when Yang Rui said it at this time, it was like a bucket of ice water coming down from the top of their heads, and the joy in their hearts disappeared without a trace. In fact, Yang Rui was talking about the dense array on the ships of later generations. It is necessary not only to have high-performance transistor computers, high-precision motors and sensors, but also to solve the 'closed-loop multi-point' problem with radar technology. With today's technology, this thing would not have been seen in twenty years. Today, radar filtering is unsolved, and computers are nowhere to be found. High-precision motors and sensors are still on paper, but since the great man said that he is backward. That's backwardness.
"My lord......" Ye Zaifu wiped his sweat, and he said: "Now the Equipment Division is trying to solve the problem of firing command accuracy and blind fire of single-seat artillery. This problem should be solved within a year or two, and at the beginning of the design of the new aircraft carrier, there was also a place for the installation of a new command instrument on the gun emplacement......"
"I know that thing." Yang Rui interrupted, "It's just a semi-automatic, semi-manual single-seat artillery firing command instrument that relies on radar ranging, electromechanical simulation computer calculation, and solving, which is much better than the previous mechanical command instrument, but it is still not enough." In addition, it has a weak underbelly, what if the enemy planes are like us when attacking, sprinkle a handful of aluminum foil first? ”
'Porphy! Tan Gen squirted out a sip of tea -- Yang Rui knew that the US military would have VT wireless proximity fuse bombs, but in his opinion, this thing was like a waste, and when the group attacked, he specially sent a few planes to sprinkle aluminum foil wildly, or simply loaded a few small rockets with aluminum foil on the dive bomber, and fired the small rockets first when diving, so that the front of the offensive axis was filled with aluminum foil. However, if the enemy concocts the same method and uses this trick against their own new shooting commander, the new shooting commander will also be sentenced to death.
"This ......" Ye Zaifu wiped his sweat again, he is not a person from the Equipment Division, but he is a person from the General Rear Department, and now there is no one in the Equipment Division, so he can only carry it." My lord, don't we use aluminum foil to fight the enemy? ”
"This ...... Radio jammers cannot be used until they are effective. Yang Rui said. Our ship is resistant, let's use aluminum foil to pull everyone back to the mechanical shooting commander, or see if the laser works. ”
"You go back and tell Guangting, I know he is short of money, but I can't look at this pile of he made, let his henchmen who are getting fatter and fatter use their brains more and go to the front line more. Our things are a little stronger than others, but the strength is very limited, and this advantage is achieved by more than ten years of accumulation, once the war starts, how to keenly use the existing technology to solve the actual problems on the battlefield is a very brain-consuming problem, and the people on his side should eat more walnuts to make up for their brains. Yang Rui said.
"Yes, sir." Ye Zaifu nodded hurriedly, he was a little glad that Yang Rui was talking about equipment rather than aircraft carrier design.
"But there are some things that deserve praise today: the first is the boiler, which is already stronger than the Japanese Navy; Again, composite armor, this function does not need to be said, it is expensive, but it is expensive to use. The two layers of composite armor, the flight deck and the main deck, completely exempted from the threat of dive bombers, and now only the horizontal strike of torpedoes remained. Therefore, if it wasn't for four or five torpedoes, the aircraft carrier would have been sunk casually......" Yang Rui looked at Tan Gen, which made Tan Gen suddenly nervous.
“…… It's the captain's incompetence, or bad luck. The third thing is a catapult, although it is not steam. But it's not bad, but future planes will get bigger and heavier. In a few years, propeller aircraft will become obsolete, new aircraft will be on board, and steam catapults will still be ready to be put on board within five years. ”
"Understood, sir." Ye Zaifu remembered Yang Rui's words attentively, and was ready to tell Chief Zhou Sixu about these after returning to Beijing, and then go to Dashilar to buy a large bag of walnuts to replenish his brain.
After knocking on the General Logistics Equipment Division, Yang Rui asked another question that he was very concerned about, "Is the output of our reduction gear set enough?" ”
This question can be asked to Ye Zaifu, or you can ask Chen Shishi, the general office of the shipyard. After all, Chen Quartz was Xu Huafeng's secretary before. So he replied undetentiously: "My lord, the output is estimated to be enough, after the boiler is finalized, Shanxi No. 2 machine, Nanjing Heavy Industry, and Shenyang No. 1 machine are all producing gear sets, although I don't know how many sets of reserves, but I want to come to the general assembly for this important part is planned to ......"
Rapid shipbuilding is only to improve the utilization rate of the slipway, but if the output of the time-consuming reduction gear set is insufficient, the output of the aircraft carrier is still blind, so Yang Rui has this question.
"The gear set really doesn't have enough capacity. I'm sure there will be a backup plan for the general rear. Chen Quartz's words pulled Yang Rui's thoughts to Shanghai, where Nikola Tesla was studying his old profession a few years ago - alternating current, of course, this is not alternating current for power generation. It's an AC drivetrain.
The laptop power adapter is Yang Rui's most hated thing, relying on the end of the computer socket, the cable is always easy to break or be damaged due to pulling. Once leakage is shorted, the entire adapter is scrapped. With his usage habits, under normal circumstances. It's perfectly normal for a laptop to break two or three power adapters. The garbage in college has become the treasure of the power laboratory, and the most surprising thing for researchers is: why can this black guy who is less than a pound output such a stable DC voltage (the rectifier made of diodes can also be AC to DC). But because the on-time is uncontrollable, the voltage is also uncontrollable).
After disassembling a power adapter with a broken line, the thyristor, the core component of which was discovered, was then handed over to the transistor laboratory for research and manual trial production, and then transferred back to the power laboratory, at this time the power laboratory has been determined to completely solve the major problem that has plagued the industry for decades - AC transmission, but the technical reserves are insufficient, and Tesla can only be introduced into the research.
Soon, the chopper, and another important power component inverter (made of thyristor) was invented, which fundamentally solved the problem of AC-DC-AC conversion, the meaning of which is to use a simple and fixed alternator instead of a complex, extremely heavy, unreliable DC generator to generate electricity, the AC power emitted through the thyristor rectifier into DC, in the process of DC conversion to AC, and through the inverter to change the DC voltage to change the DC current, and finally control the AC input AC motor, This makes it possible to arbitrarily manipulate the torque and speed of the motor, which does what should have been done by the reduction gear set.
In the past, when the reduction gear set was immature, the U.S. Navy also used an electric drive scheme, but it used a DC generator to generate electricity, and then used a huge rotating mechanism to convert DC into AC, and then drove it with an AC motor. Not to mention the cost, weight, and efficiency, the reliability alone is unacceptable, so after the reduction gear set technology matured, the U.S. Navy immediately abandoned the electric drive scheme. However, if there is a mature AC-DC-AC transmission scheme and a new generation of magnet materials, the shortcomings of high cost, high weight, low efficiency and unreliable system of electric transmission can be avoided, but everyone has no bottom in the heart of the new thing, what if there is a problem?
After Yang Rui returned to Tonghua, he was still thinking about the electric transmission, but he was not thinking about the electric transmission itself, but about Nikola Tesla, that is, the Jewish problem, who wanted to solve this problem. Twenty-six years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, although a lot of talents have been cultivated before, but the foundation is still not enough, if the Jews can be introduced, scientific research will definitely advance by leaps and bounds, but what are the consequences?
Among them, spies are inevitable, especially KGB spies, Jews, not Jewish scientists, believe in Marxism; Spies are not only stealing technical information, but the other problem is that these people spread Marxism and European culture, such as individualism, postmodernism, liberal democracy, etc., which is more destructive than Marxism......
"Father, Mr. Xiao Xu is here." When Yang Rui was thinking about the Jews, Wang Jitong came, and he came in a hurry.
"Did you make a mess at the beginning?" Yang Rui knew that Xu Jingxi drew his sword in public in the Suspect Academy. He felt in his heart that the sword had been drawn well. Men don't dare to draw their swords in the face of threats, what's the use!
"Things in the beginning are small things. The other one is the big deal. Wang Jitong, who got the news, said, "Hu Shi's gang is estimated to throw out the mixed element bomb project to hit Lotus Chu." It seems that he wants to push the Kuomintang's Weng Yongni to power. Liang Zhuoru did not stop, his disciple's name was Jiang Baili, who was forced to draw his sword at the beginning, advocating another plan: to dissolve the alliance between us and Japan, so that we could sign a naval disarmament agreement with the United States to eliminate the chaos of war. His statement is not unreasonable, and at least there are many people in the newspapers who agree with it. ”
"Jiang Baili?" Yang Rui read the familiar name. After watching so much over the years, most of his praise and depreciation of the Republic of China characters at this time have turned to depreciation. And Jiang Baili, even if he is dedicated to the country. Under the command of Liang Qichao, he will only do some things that will harm the country and the people. "Jiang Baili's set is not worth mentioning." Yang Rui said. "But there are too many people who are willing to back down, not because what he said is reasonable, but because many people want to hear what he said."
"It's just that a lot of people want to hear it!" Wang Jitong nodded heavily. "What shall we do? Actually, I've been wondering, if the hybrid bullet can be announced, can its power eliminate the war? ”
"That kind of peace won't last more than ten years." Yang Rui affirmed. "And it's likely that a nuclear war will follow."
"Why?" Wang Jitong was puzzled. "We have an atomic bomb in our hands, and the Americans still dare to do it?"
"Because we have the Philippines on our doorstep, and they don't have North Korea on their doorstep." Yang Rui said. "If the U.S. doesn't think we have the ability to drop a hybrid bomb on the North American continent. They are more likely to strike first. You know, building this thing is theory, theory, throwing money away. It will definitely work out in five years. ”
"But we have intercontinental rockets!" Wang Ji is the same way. "If we announce ...... again"
"Xiao Xu, let's not mention that the intercontinental rocket can't even see a shadow so far, it's just created. What about 10,000 km of navigation? Yang Rui asked unhappily. A heavy bomber would have scorched us up, if a heavy bomber had been paired with a hybrid bomb. Then the Americans will be more trouble-free, and dozens of bombers will fly out overnight to completely wipe us out.
Again. If we announce the hybrid bomb, the world's public opinion, including the Westernizers in China, will definitely criticize it, and it is necessary for us to destroy or hand over this thing, and Britain and France, who originally wanted to be neutral, will also stand on the side of the Americans. As the saying goes, the puppet is not guilty, and he is guilty of himself, not because you have jade, but because you are a puppet. There is only one situation in which we and the United States can have peace: that is, there are no U.S. troops in the Philippines and Guam. ”
"Aren't you going to use it in wartime?" Wang Jitong also asked rhetorically, "So the husband is not guilty?" ”
"After the start of the war, the US heavy bombers will definitely bomb major cities, and innocent civilians will inevitably be killed or injured in the bombing cities. Yang Rui asked rhetorically. "Xiao Xu, we are a weak country, and there are few cards in our hands, so we will show the big ghost before the game, what is it!"
"And after that? How did the war end? Won't the Americans retaliate? Wang Jitong asked again.
"In the future, the United States will be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, not on our doorstep, and this distance will be much safer than being forced on our doorstep. Even when the armistice treaty was signed, we could ask both sides on the Pacific islands not to deploy mixed ammunition, and the Americans would definitely agree, so that the distance would be the same. Intercontinental rockets are a later matter, and even if we have them, there is no need to show them, so as not to cause an arms race. Yang Rui said.
"When the Pacific is safe, we will have confidence in Soviet Russia and Britain, and our goal in the future is to prohibit a world war and strive to maintain the existing world pattern, and the longer this world pattern is maintained, the better our development will be. When we become another America, we will let future generations toss it. ”
Hearing that Yang Rui arranged the national policy in the future, Wang Jitong said: "It seems that I am wrong, I thought that after winning the United States, you would lead everyone to dominate the world?" ”
"Dominate the world? That's a joke! Yang Rui said with certainty, "The most important thing we should guard against is to be an unconscious tool of history." It is up to us to accomplish the mission that should have been accomplished by the United States -- to unify the world, or to pave the way for the unification of the world.
After the Spring and Autumn Period was the Warring States Period, after the Warring States Period was the Violent Qin, after the Violent Qin was the Strong Han, and then it was the day of the demise of the ancient Chinese civilization. The next round of civilization benefited from the cultivation of Buddhism for hundreds of years, but what if Buddhism had not spread eastward at that time? If this is true for China, what about the world? It is now taking the same path that our first round of civilization has taken, and this moment is the alternate period of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States. Whether it's to gain time for the development of civilization or for the immortality of civilization, we must find ways to delay its demise and prevent anyone from unifying ......"
Yang Rui took a step, and the more he spoke, the more he spoke, and only after he finished speaking, he turned around and said, "It's really troublesome to accept Jews!" If Jews are not accepted in large numbers, the number of scientists who come to China will be greatly reduced, after all, this is the East, and they will be very unaccustomed to the atmosphere of Jewish life; If you accept it, the poison of civilization in their bodies will infect us again, and it will be very troublesome to clean, which is really a painful thing. ”
"But they're already here, and they're going to be there in less than two days." Wang Ji is the same way. Yang Rui suddenly mentioned the Jews as he spoke, but under his orders, the Jewish representatives had already arrived in Shanghai.
"I know, I know." Yang Rui sat back in his chair, "Then let's talk about it first." ”
Yang Rui sat down. Wang Jitong remembered that he hadn't said anything about it yet, and he said again: "What about the election of the next prime minister?" If we don't announce the hybrid bomb, there is a high chance that Lotus Chu will lose the election. ”
"Are you worried about the Kuomintang coming to power?" Yang Rui said with a smile.
"Exactly." Wang Ji is the same way. "If he wants to come to power, he will definitely demand the dissolution of the East Asian Alliance, we ......"
Before Wang Jitong came, he actually wanted Yang Rui to try it and let the Kuomintang try it, what if the alliance was dissolved and the naval treaty was really signed? But when he heard Yang Rui say it just now, he felt that it was indeed very unsafe for the Philippines to block the door, so he didn't know what to say now.
"It is not necessary to dissolve the alliance in order to sign a naval treaty." Yang Rui somewhat understood what Wang Jitong meant, so he said, "But there are two conditions: first, it is limited to the dissolution of the alliance, and no other conditions are attached; Second, Japan must be a party to the Naval Treaty. We can't just sign a treaty with us, but Japan excludes it, and then Japan and the United States go to war. ”
"You really promised?!" Wang Jitong stood up suddenly, extremely surprised, this was really beyond his expectations.
"I bet the U.S. won't sign it." Yang Rui said. "Unemployed workers in US military factories and shipyards who have signed up will definitely make trouble. The day the Army Act was passed, it was Roosevelt who made up his mind. ”
"But how did Weng Yongni get off the stage when she came to power? In case they ...... What should I do if I make a mistake? Wang Jitong wanted to talk about collaborating with the enemy, but he still held back. This is another of his concerns.
"We'll see how a bunch of fools hurt themselves. Weng Yongni was elected by them, and they died by themselves. Yang Rui said contemptuously. How can the people of the country learn a lesson if the bomb does not fall on their heads and does not shed blood? Besides, how can those people be spurned by the Chinese people if they don't come to power? ”
"You're so ruthless!" Wang Jitong thought that Yang Rui had changed his temper, but he didn't expect it to be ......, he lowered his head and said, "How many people will die like this?" ”
"People always die, and they die of their own accord." Yang Rui was indifferent. "I'd better think more about how to prevent them from making a big mistake after they come to power." (To be continued.) )
