Chapter 796: The False Proposition of Catapult Freezing (Additional Update, Thanks for the Reward)

Water freezes when it gets cold. This is the most common phenomenon in nature. Water as a substance has been thoroughly studied by scientists and engineers. This is also the reason why nuclear reactors use pressurized water reactors. As a common substance, humans are already familiar with all of its properties.

However, many of people's subjective understandings are wrong, such as whether a light ball and a heavy ball will fall to the ground at the same time. The ancient Aristotle often promoted wrong views.

The reasons for these mistakes are still due to the lack of fundamental understanding of the problems.

It is normal for water to freeze when it is cold, but the water vapor in the catapult is not ordinary water vapor, but high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor! According to the ideal gas state equation, PV=nRT. The greater the pressure, the higher the corresponding temperature. Ordinary water will be boiled at 100 degrees and become water vapor. On the mountain, the air pressure is lowered, and the water will boil before it reaches 100 degrees. It is troublesome to cook an egg on the mountain, and a pressure cooker must be used.

Similarly, increasing the pressure will increase the temperature. The temperature inside the catapult is much higher than 100 degrees. In this way, the small amount of steam leaking from the catapult track will indeed vaporize immediately in the air. It is normal for water vapor to vaporize when it encounters cold. The problem is that the catapult has been heated by steam at this time! This temperature is enough to evaporate the water mist on the deck.

At the same time, this is only one aspect. On the other hand, in order to ensure that water vapor does not freeze, the steam in the catapults in high-latitude areas is not just burned with ordinary distilled water, but an additive specially used to prevent freezing is added to the distilled water. This additive is almost similar to the principle of antifreeze used in cars.

The problem of water vapor freezing has been solved! The next aircraft carrier has already landed and is in the outfitting stage. The steam catapult can continue to be installed in place, and there is no need to change to a ski-jump takeoff!

"Send a message to Moscow that we have successfully experimented with catapult takeoff in high latitudes and everything is going normally." Andrei said, his eyes fixed on the MiG-23K that had just catapulted off and, after turning a circle, aimed back at the deck and landed.

"General Andre, Argentina has sent a message, agreeing to all the conditions we proposed and requesting us to deploy new aircraft carrier-killing weapons." At this moment, a communications officer who had just received satellite communications said to Andre.

Argentina agreed! Hearing this news, Andre was also excited. From then on, the Soviet Navy had a base in South America! The Soviet territory was expanded again!

"Okay, since the Argentines are so helpful, we won't be stingy. Let's order our Ivan Rogov-class landing ships to unload our treasures," said Andre.

This landing ship did not follow the fleet at first. It was not until the British were crippled and the United States decided to dispatch the Combined Fleet that it quietly set sail and came directly from the Indian Ocean. It only joined the formation three days ago.

After all, the Soviet Navy's ocean voyage this time was not to occupy a certain country, so it did not require any landing ships, and this landing ship was definitely not carrying equipment for the Marine Corps.

The Ivan-Rogov class dock landing ship is the latest landing ship developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s. The full load displacement of this landing ship is 12,000 tons. The ship is 158 meters long and 24.5 meters wide. There is a dock at the stern that can accommodate various landing craft. The tank compartment is in front of the dock and directly connected to the bow gate, which can load tanks or vehicles. There is also a springboard, which can directly land on the beach when landing.

Generally speaking, the front of this landing ship can accommodate 20 tanks or other vehicles, and the dock at the rear can accommodate two "Swan" class air-cushion landing craft and one mechanized landing craft.

But now, there were no tanks or hovercrafts placed in the wide and straight belly of the landing ship, just two big guys were compactly placed inside.

The shape is extremely special. From above, it looks like an airplane, with a tall vertical tail and an airplane-like cabin. However, from the bottom, it looks like a ship, neither fish nor fowl. Moreover, the most confusing thing is the nose part, with four engines on each side, placed side by side, which makes it look like a monster that looks like something out of place.

On the back of this monster, there are three rows of twin-mounted cylindrical objects arranged side by side. Anyone with military knowledge would know that inside these objects are definitely powerful anti-ship missiles!

After receiving the order, the front and rear doors of the landing ship were slowly opened. The sailors who had been waiting for a long time, with the help of the equipment in the cabin, slowly pushed the two big guys out of the hatch one after another!

The killing weapon of the aircraft carrier slowly revealed its true appearance. The sunlight in the high latitudes was quite dazzling. Its huge body reflected the sunlight. Almost all the personnel on the surrounding warships looked there.

Andre's gaze also turned to the landing ship. Seeing the powerful weapon slowly coming out, Andre's mood was also extremely excited.

Although he came from the Air Force, Andrei also had a great understanding of maritime equipment, especially the naval equipment of the Soviet era. The behemoth in front of him was the aircraft carrier-killing weapon that made people sigh in later generations, the Dove missile attack ground-effect vehicle!

A ground effect vehicle is a dynamic vehicle that uses the ground effect to provide support force to fly.

The so-called ground effect means that the lower surface of the wing is very close to the ground, forming a blockage of airflow, which increases the lift of the wing. Therefore, the height of this aircraft is only a few meters above the sea surface. Although it looks like an airplane, it cannot achieve high-altitude flight. Even the current aircraft can only fly up to 7,500 meters, and it usually does not fly so high, but flies on the sea surface. However, its advantages are also quite outstanding, that is, its carrying capacity is quite strong, almost the same as a ship, with the carrying capacity of a ship and the speed of an airplane!

Ground effect vehicles were popular for a while after World War II, and all countries began to develop them. However, for various reasons, they were all abandoned in the end. Only the Soviet Union persisted and developed a series of ground effect vehicles!

After Andrei became a high-ranking official in the Soviet Union, he attached great importance to ground effect vehicles. Coupled with Ustinov's support, the development of ground effect vehicles became even faster!
