Chapter 454 Kangchi-Class Aircraft Carrier

June 23rd, cloudy and breezy.

Thousands of people lined up in the No. 2 dock of Sanshan Shipyard, looking eagerly at the steel giant in front of them.

For the engineers, they naturally feel satisfied and proud that this brand new aircraft carrier can be built by themselves.

Regarding its future performance, I have high hopes and... uneasiness.

After all, the design concept and technical route are too advanced, and the carrier-based aircraft are basically brand new. Therefore, much of the manufacturing experience of the previous four aircraft carriers is not applicable to it.

No one knows whether what they built will be another "Zumwalt"...

For the officers and soldiers who are about to serve on board No. 006, the excitement in their hearts at this moment is even more indescribable.

Although it has not yet been tested in sea trials, Captain Wan Yuntao already knows its design concept and performance parameters, so he is full of confidence in its future combat effectiveness.

240MW controllable nuclear fusion reactor,

Two built-in super ejection devices,

In addition to the 15 Yinhe carrier-based aircraft with multiple functions such as early warning, anti-submarine, and aerial refueling, the 006's main combat capability is 35 of the latest heavy-duty unmanned combat aircraft-Xunlong.

There is no need to say more about the combat power of this fighter jet.

However, due to the current Xunlong production limit, it will take at least a year for all 35 aircraft to be installed.

besides,

006 will also be equipped with 10 medium-sized unmanned strategic aircraft. They are actually multi-functional smaller versions of the H-20S, codenamed "Variety Bird".

The Variety Bird can be used as a transport aircraft to airborne 10 companies at one time, totaling 300 unmanned war robots of various types;

It can also be used as a carrier aircraft to release up to 100,000 drone swarms in the air;

It can also be used directly as a bomber to drop bombs and clean the ground.

And the above are just superficial data.

The most eye-catching aspect of the overall design of 006 is actually its full automation.

The operating logic of the entire aircraft carrier is a bit like a three-dimensional parking lot, although the mechanical structure of this design will take up more space and reduce the number of carrier-based aircraft.

But 006 is not the type that wins by quantity. All the carrier-based aircraft on it are at the top of their combat capabilities, and they can completely make up for the disadvantage in quantity with quality and efficiency.

What's more, 60 carrier-based aircraft is actually quite a lot.

In short, according to the type of carrier-based aircraft on No. 006, each aircraft has its own dedicated hangar.

These hangars can be flexibly moved inside the aircraft carrier.

If you need to eject for takeoff, transfer to the electromagnetic catapult.

If you need to take off and land vertically, move to the deck.

If you need supplies, move to the supply area.

If maintenance is needed, move to the maintenance area.

With the help of intelligent robotic arms, logistics personnel can quickly complete ammunition, fuel supply, maintenance and other tasks for carrier-based aircraft.

And in addition to the fully loaded Variety Bird, other carrier-based aircraft, including Yinhe tilt-rotor aircraft, can both eject and take off, and can also take off and land vertically directly on the deck.

Therefore, 006 releases carrier-based aircraft quite quickly.

When needed, the two super catapults and the six lifting platforms on the deck cooperate with each other to take off a carrier-based aircraft at an average speed of 7 seconds, achieving the terrifying speed of launching all carrier-based aircraft in 8 minutes.

This improvement in combat effectiveness is definitely a qualitative change!

Although Country M claims that they have a large aircraft carrier with four catapults, which can theoretically take off 8 fighter jets per minute,

But in fact, only four aircraft had been prepared and ready for the initial wave. Affected by various factors in deck operations, the actual time it took for them to organize an attack wave far exceeded the theoretical value, and 60 aircraft were flown. The flight takes at least half an hour.

Assuming that both sides discover each other at the same time and launch an offensive, this time difference is enough to create a numerical crush.

What’s more, the quality is also crushing!

Assuming that recovery and supply operations are carried out simultaneously, and multiple rounds of high-intensity attacks are carried out, the gap in combat efficiency between the two sides will only widen.

Moreover, most of their aircraft carriers are steam ejected. When ejected at high intensity, the speed of the aircraft carrier will drop significantly.

Therefore, Wan Yuntao is very sure that 006 will definitely be the No. 1 combat power of China’s navy and the No. 1 warship in the world in the future.

Being able to serve as the captain of this aircraft carrier still feels like a dream to him...

He can't wait for the launching ceremony to end immediately, so that he can board this dream aircraft carrier that looks like a giant in the sky as soon as possible, gallop into the deep sea, and show off the prestige of our country!

What's a little regretful is that looking around the world, Wan Yuntao can't seem to find a target for 006 to use as an imaginary enemy.

Just feel,

Anyone who comes is a spoiler...

"...Today, we are gathered here to witness this historic moment."

Chief Shen on the stage was still speaking with an passionate voice,

"This is not only a major event in the construction of our country's navy, but also an important milestone in the future of our country's national defense and military.

First of all, let us express our highest respect and gratitude with warm applause to the engineers, technicians and workers who have devoted their hard work and wisdom to the construction of this aircraft carrier!

It is their sweat and wisdom that built this steel dragon, allowing it to cut through the waves in the vast blue sea and become a strong shield to defend national sovereignty and maintain world peace! "

As soon as Chief Shen finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out at the scene, and Kang Chi and Ren Zhou became the focus of the audience.

Especially Kang Chi,

Although he never appeared even once during the manufacturing process of 006,

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

But everyone knows that if he hadn’t provided a lot of design ideas and technical support, 006 would never have been built so quickly.

Not to mention that almost all the equipment on 006 was made by him.

The real boss behind the scenes!

…

"With the approval of the Military Commission, China's fifth aircraft carrier is named 'Jiangbei Ship', with hull number 20!"

When hearing this ship name, everyone knows without thinking that it must be because of Kang Chi that Jiangbei was named.

Because he is from Jiangbei,

Otherwise, with so many powerful coastal provinces waiting to be named, who will get Jiangbei Province, which has no access to the sea?

If there were no naming standards for aircraft carriers, 006 would probably be called Kang Chi...

In fact, they did so,

Although 006 is named Jiangbei Ship, the military's unified name for this type of aircraft carrier in the future will be 'Kangchi-class aircraft carrier'.

Thank you for your respect and I am full!

Now even Ren Zhou looked at Kang Chi with a hint of resentment.

As the chief engineer of two aircraft carriers, he has yet to secure the title of an aircraft carrier for his hometown of Guangxi.

I simply have no face to face the folks from Guangxi!

"Ahem, don't look at me like that." Kang Chi whispered sheepishly, "With the speed we are making dumplings, there will always be a name that deserves it."

"But there is a difference between feeling happy first and feeling happy later."

Kang Chi: "..."

After the naming was completed, the launching ceremony finally officially began. Along with the loud singing sounded throughout the audience, the red national flag slowly rose, hung on the bow of the ship, and fluttered in the wind!

Half an hour later, watching the Jiangbei ship slowly sailing out of the dock, Kang Chi could not help but clenched his fists in excitement.

Eighteen months ago, the Xindu was attacked.

Kang Chi then stood in front of the tomb of martyr Feng Pengyuan, secretly vowed to take revenge, and officially started the research and development plan for a drone aircraft carrier.

Just 6 months ago, the Liugui incident devastated old M. Xindu Hao’s revenge had actually been settled.

But for Kang Chi, only when the aircraft carrier is actually launched into the water and the fleet is galloping in the deep sea, shocking all the seven continents and oceans, no kid will dare to take a step beyond the horizon when they see this red flag. Incidents like the Xindu will never happen again. No more performances,

This oath is truly fulfilled.

And this day,

It has arrived!
