Warship of Great Power

"Zhou Gong." Just as Zhou Weiguo walked out reluctantly, a voice came from behind.

Zhou Weiguo turned his head and saw a familiar figure: "Boss Qin?"

The big guy was on his way to the cafeteria. After all, it was already night after the meeting, and he had to eat before leaving. However, he did not expect Mr. Qin to come to him on his own initiative.

"Do you have any orders?" Zhou Weiguo asked.

"I can't talk about orders." Qin Tao said: "You are engaged in supporting equipment for shipbuilding, and we are shipbuilders. I hope we can strengthen cooperation in the future."

Strengthen cooperation? Zhou Weiguo asked curiously: "Just now, didn't you deny our efforts over the years? Why are you doing it again now..."

"Pretend to be a good person again?" Qin Tao said with a smile: "Zhou Gong, I have always been right and wrong in doing things. In terms of the technical route of the catapult, I am a firm electromagnetic school, which also concerns us. The future development of the navy is a key issue of the route, and I believe my choice is right."

"However, this does not mean that I have any opinions on your 704. You have been tirelessly developing steam catapults over the years, overcoming many technical difficulties, and making this technology mature. I am very grateful to you guys. I admire it very much." Qin Tao said: "I am satisfied with a unit like yours, so I hope we can strengthen cooperation in the future."

"Well, Mr. Qin, thank you for your attention. After I go back, I will pass on your opinion to the superiors. I hope we can cooperate more in the future. We will be listed on the big ship of your Mingzhou Group, and then it will be prosperous in the future of."

At this time, Zhou Weiguo became excited again. Mr. Qin is really a good person, with principles and friendship.

Qin Tao dealt with it in this way, even if it was a failed 704, he had to be grateful to Qin Tao and would not complain to him. After the new year, the two sides discussed several million project packages.

Now, watching Qin Tao and Zhou Weiguo talk, Wu Shengli also felt emotional in his heart, his son-in-law, whether it is technology or conduct, is comprehensive in every aspect!

When we arrived at the cafeteria, the food was already served, and there was more wine!

"Comrades who didn't drink at noon can have a good drink at night." Wu Shengli said with a smile: "Tonight's meal is equivalent to our navy's internal dinner."

People without the Air Force are all from the Navy, and everyone can relax more.

After a few glasses of wine, there will be more conversations.

"The one we admire the most is Mr. Qin!"

"Yes, in fact, we are also very satisfied with the electromagnetic catapult, and we are looking forward to it, but the high research and development funds are our stumbling block. With Mingzhou Group assuring us, we can have nothing to worry about." The meeting kept saying The leader who strongly opposed it showed a smile at this time.

"By the way, when can we get back a batch of liquidated damages like the Air Force did!"

When it comes to making money, everyone's brains are starting to open up.

"How is that possible? The navy's equipment is at most purchased from Lao Maozi, and it will be good if there is no price increase." Qin Tao said.

Doing business also depends on the target. The Davids value reputation, and they will pay compensation when it is necessary. What about the old man? Whether there is any compensation or more money is required for equipment. If the navy orders ships from Lao Maozi again, it will be good enough not to be cheated.

"Yeah, just look at Ah San and you'll know what's going on. By the way, it's said that Ah San's aircraft carrier is going to have sea trials recently."

"Sea trial? Can it be so fast?" Everyone was surprised.

"On this project, Ah San is holding back his stomach, so their progress is really not slow. Moreover, it is said that Lao Maozi's MiG-29K fighter jets have also arrived. It is said that they will also have to go to sea for this sea trial. Carry out take-off and landing experiments of carrier-based aircraft."

"This is compared to us." Qin Tao said: "Our 001 aircraft carrier, the refitting project will be completed soon, Ah San has to put the new aircraft carrier into service before us, so that we can compare with ours. Yes, but..."

"But what?"

"The ending of Ah San's shoddy and urgent work will definitely not be good, let's just watch the show. I don't know if their pilots have undergone rigorous training." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Maybe when they land, they will will fall on the deck."

Ah San was indeed in a hurry.

The Chaoriwang aircraft carrier is like a big joke. The whole world is watching their jokes. They are very annoyed, so after getting the Chaoriwang, they started emergency construction.

The power system is unreliable, so they simply replaced it with LM2500 gas turbines. As long as the power system is complete, the aircraft carrier will be capable of sea trials!

Seeing Ah San's firm attitude, the Mikoyan company was also in a hurry, rushed to produce several MiG-29K prototypes, and delivered them to Ah San, so as to save Ah San from throwing a face and throwing away the planes!

In this way, Ah San is finally happy. With their aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft, they will also gain a brand new combat power. The performance of fighter jets like the MiG-29K far exceeds that of the tasteless Sea Harrier!

A three-naval base in Goa.

This is a base specially built by the Asan Navy to train MiG-29K pilots. Like the base in the east, it is a bit crude. In addition to the original runway, there is a special ski-jump take-off device and a special arresting landing device.

It is impossible to simulate the shaking of the deck in the sea, but at any rate it can be regarded as a solution to the problem of presence or absence.

A single-seat MiG-29K fighter jet is approaching the training base under the setting sun. In the cockpit, Nisant Singh, an experienced veteran pilot, is diligently observing the Fresnel landing aid mirror, headphones The roar of Da Mao's instructor came from inside.

"The sliding line is incorrect, continue to press the joystick and close the throttle!"

Boom!

The machine wheel hit the ground hard, and after sliding forward for a few meters, it barely caught the last arresting wire.

After the plane stopped, the big-haired instructor Toktar Obakilov ran towards the plane angrily, trying to curse the damned idiot pilot, but the ground staff who got off the plane first picked up the pilot , thrown high into the air.

Damn it, this failed and dangerous landing needs such a show off?

Toktar Obakilov was extremely annoyed. He is a test pilot of the Mikoyan Design Bureau. In 1988, the first MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft landed on the deck of an aircraft carrier under his operation. Although he is not as famous as Pugachev, but Also an excellent test pilot.

Naturally, he took the test flight of these MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft of the Mikoyan Design Bureau. Now, he is also responsible for training the pilots of the Asan Navy’s carrier-based aircraft, but no matter what, he can’t be happy .

"Our pilot is very good. It seems that there will be no problem with the MiG-29K landing on the Chaoriwang sea trial tomorrow." At this moment, a voice came from behind him.

What?

If you haven't learned to walk, you want to run? No, are you going to fly?

Generally speaking, it is necessary to go through hundreds of land take-off and landing training before boarding an aircraft carrier. What about now? The best pilot in Ah San's mouth is just taking off and landing for the first time, which is simply impossible!

Obakilov, who was annoyed in his heart, turned his head back, and saw the familiar person: Suraj Berry, captain of the aircraft carrier "Superi King".

"Captain Berry, I hope you can understand that you can't directly land on an aircraft carrier without going through hundreds of flight trainings. This will be very dangerous." Obakilov said: "Your The first batch of pilots are not qualified to land the ship."

"Yes, they are still relatively immature, but we can't wait." Suraj-Berry said with some excitement: "Our aircraft carrier Chaori Wang is going to sea trials again, and it has been delayed for a long time. We have to announce to the public that our Chaoriwang has entered service before the aircraft carrier in the east officially enters service, and we also have to release the video of the carrier-based aircraft taking off and landing!"

Looking at the pilot Nisant Singh who was approaching enthusiastically, Obakilov shook his head helplessly: "If it takes off, as long as the aircraft carrier can accelerate to more than 25 knots and cooperate with the deck wind, there will be no problem." , However, if it lands, I am the only one who has this kind of technology at present."

Although before the collapse of the Red Empire, the Su-27K, that is, the Su-33, was selected as an aircraft carrier-based aircraft, and the MiG-29K had no chance of landing, but before that, Obakilov had already carried out several missions. After ten times of landing operations, after the production of the MiG-29K, he also went to Ermao's Nitka Center to take off and land several times. Obakilov still has this ability. But other Ah San's pilots can't do it.

"Then let's hoist the rest of the carrier-based aircraft to the deck of the aircraft carrier, and you will carry out the landing operation by yourself, how about it?" Suraj Berry said.

When you don't have the ability to land, you have to show off by hoisting the carrier-based aircraft to the deck of the aircraft carrier first! Obakilov was a little helpless at this time, but he had no other choice, so he could only nod: "Okay."

The next day, the sky was clear and the weather was good for flying. Of the first batch of MiG-29Ks delivered, only one remained at the training base here.

Obakilov looked at the empty tarmac with mixed emotions in his heart. He strode towards the only MiG-29K and climbed into the cockpit.

Just when the Tbilisi, which is now the Kuznetsov, began to design, Lao Maozi realized the need for a brand new carrier-based aircraft. The Mikoyan Design Bureau, which was still at its peak at the time, was already based on MiG-23 has built a carrier-based aircraft, but it is undoubtedly backward, so it decided to develop on its most advanced MiG-29KVP prototype concept aircraft, such as taking off on a ski jump deck and so on.

After a period of testing, many results were obtained. This aircraft can take off and operate safely, but it is better to increase the wing area and replace the engine with greater thrust. In this way, on the basis of this prototype concept aircraft, the Mikoyan Design Bureau developed the land-based MiG-29M fighter project (product 9.15) and the sea-based MiG-29K fighter project (product 9.31).

Among them, the equipment of the MiG-29K is very different from the mass-produced land-based MiG-29A fighter: it has a more advanced multifunctional "beetle" radar, a cockpit with a monochrome display and a more modern It is an advanced "hands on stick" control method. At the same time, in addition to various air-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles, anti-radiation missiles and ground precision strike weapons can also be mounted on weapons.

It's a pity that the Navy finally chose the Su-27K and named it Su-33. In this way, the original MiG-29K lost the need to continue research and development, and the project was terminated. Until Asan purchased the Chaoriwang aircraft carrier, the supporting carrier-based aircraft could only choose the MiG-29K. For the Mikoyan Design Bureau, this was tantamount to sending charcoal in a timely manner.

After all, more than ten years have passed, so Lao Maozi has more advanced technology. Compared with the prototype, this MiG-29K still has some changes.

For example, it has a newly designed wing with large trailing edge flaps, leading edge flaps and rounded wingtips. A special Kruger flap is installed under the leading edge of the wing, which is specially used to help the MiG-29K improve the low-speed stability when landing, and is more suitable for landing on an aircraft carrier.

At the same time, the MiG-29K, which has been scolded for many years and cannot fly the swallows of the Dnieper River, has also undergone other improvements. Its internal fuel has been increased to 6666 liters, and auxiliary fuel tanks can be attached to increase the range when needed.

The avionics system also uses the latest technology. The previous MiG-29A was still hydraulically controlled, but now this one has a four-redundancy digital fly-by-wire flight control. This is the Mikoyan Design Bureau based on the MiG 1.44. advanced technology developed.

But after all, it was the 1990s. This MiG-29K is not a product of 2004. Compared with the latter, it is still divided into a single- and double-seater layout, and the two-seater trainer has not yet been produced. , and only two screens.

At this time, looking at the cockpit of this old man's most advanced fighter, Obakilov was still very proud. He flipped various switches, and with the help of the ground, he calmly started the two engines at the rear.

With the roar of the engine, this MiG-29K slid onto the runway and took off in the normal way. He didn't need to use the ski jump deck, which would consume precious engine life and fuel.

After taking off, he soon left the land. In the blue sea, the navy blue fighter plane was flying lightly. Obakilov turned on the radar.

The beetle radar in front of the nose is Lao Maozi's most advanced airborne radar at present. Its air detection range is more than 100 kilometers, and its sea detection range is even further. Therefore, the radar screen clearly shows Out came the bright spot, which put Obakilov on course.

There is no way, Ah San is also short-tempered. The radar on the upper deck of the bridge, the homing guidance system of the carrier-based aircraft, etc. have not been installed yet, so they eagerly come out to show off. If the carrier-based aircraft wants to find the aircraft carrier, they have to Turn on the radar.

"The fulcrum called Chaoriwang, and the target has been found, and the distance is 150 kilometers." Obakilov shouted in the radio. Fortunately, the radio was installed on the Chaoriwang aircraft carrier, otherwise contact would be a big trouble .

"The Chaoriwang received it."

Suraj Berry, who received the news, was very happy, and he shouted loudly: "Now, sail at full speed, and the deck crew is ready! The camera is ready!"

This is a historic moment. After operating the Sea Harrier, the Asan Navy has never obtained a carrier-based aircraft to prevent landing. This is the first time, which also means that they will return to the top!

On the azure sea, with blue waves rippling, Chaoriwang aircraft carrier cut through thorns, and the bow of the ship split the waves. It was incomparably spectacular. The sailors on the nearby warships also applauded.

This is the real aircraft carrier, the previous aircraft carrier was too small!

In order to replace the original engine, Ah San extravagantly purchased four LM2500 gas turbines from the United States. The total power of these four engines exceeds 100,000 horsepower. According to calculations, the maximum speed of this aircraft carrier should be able to reach 28 knots. However, considering Affected by various unexpected factors, as long as the sea trial can achieve a speed of 25 knots, it means success for Ah San.

The engine is roaring, the aircraft carrier is constantly accelerating, 15 knots, 20 knots, 25 knots!

"There is still room, we should be able to reach the design index of 28 knots!" On the ship island, the engineers of the Naval Design Bureau who participated in the sea trial said very excitedly.

"Yes, it will become an aircraft carrier in the true sense. Moreover, it still uses advanced gas turbines. It can reach the highest speed when it is started. It is much more convenient than burning a boiler! The new aircraft carrier we manufacture will also use this mature power System!" Suraj Berry was very excited.

"Report, the carrier-based aircraft has been found visually!" A lookout post shouted loudly.

"Attention, the camera is turned on to record the landing of our carrier-based aircraft. This is a great era!" Suraj Berry became even more excited.

At this time, Obakilov also saw the aircraft carrier on the sea. Although it was a huge monster of more than 40,000 tons, it was still a small spot in the sky. For carrier-based aircraft pilots, the first thing to do is to overcome Fear, everything is carried out according to the usual training.

Obakilov continued to fly forward, approaching according to the altitude and speed he found out many times, and the distant aircraft carrier gradually became larger as he approached.

The large flight deck and the high jump deck at the bow look so familiar, and these carrier-based aircraft are still docked on the rear deck, which were hoisted up in advance. It's just that the location of the island is a bit unique. On the right side of the island, it is enough to pass a MiG-29K with folded wings, which makes him feel a little funny.

However, he couldn't think about it now, he had to concentrate and prepare for landing.

The Fresnel landing aid lighted up, and he skillfully operated the fighter plane, sliding down the prescribed ramp.

On the ship island, countless people were watching. Suddenly, someone shouted: "He didn't put the ship hook!"

"How could our instructors make such a mistake?"

"Quick, radio call!"

Suddenly, after a while of busyness, the radio conversation continued.

"Fulcrum, please lower the landing hook!"

"Fulcrum received, this time is a low-altitude pass, I'm looking for the most suitable glide line." Obakilov's answer came from the radio.

Obakilov scoffed at these ignorant guys.

When he landed on the Tbilisi aircraft carrier, he flew dozens of sorties before he found a suitable glide line. Now, the Chaoriwang and the Tbilisi have different displacements and different deck areas. He used to The experience can no longer be used, and it has to be revised again.

Don't these Asan understand this truth?

However, Ah San has been operating vertical take-off and landing fighter jets all the time, so maybe she really doesn't understand these things.

With contempt, Obakilov flew a MiG-29K fighter jet over the deck of the aircraft carrier.

There was a roar, and the air waves were beating against the portholes. There was never such a spectacular scene when operating the Sea Harrier before! Everyone watched the beautiful MiG-29K fly by, and they were extremely excited.

Some people even shouted and waved.

From this position, they can't see the MiG-29K's landing gear that has been lowered, but can see the top, and even the pilot who is concentrating on flying the fighter in the cockpit.

Obakilov pulled up again, made a circle and returned to the tail of the aircraft carrier. According to the experience just now, he adjusted his attitude slightly, and then landed again.

With previous experience, he has enough confidence after just fine-tuning. This time, not only the landing gear, but also the landing hook has been put down.

Like a nimble swift, the fighter plane gradually approached, and then approached again. The cheers just disappeared, and everyone watched the plane nervously until the plane's wheels touched the deck.

Boom!

The shock came, and it was much more spectacular than the landing of the sea harrier!

The landing hook scraped forward on the deck, and firmly hooked the second arresting cable, just like pulling a bow and arrow, pulling the arresting cable into an obtuse angle, and the fighter plane stopped steadily.

"Great! Our Asan Navy has an advanced third-generation carrier-based aircraft!" Suraj-Berry said: "Let's go to the deck to welcome the first hero who landed! Radio, report to the rear! "

When these people went down, a yellow tractor had already driven past. The two round headlights in front were very cute, and the words AIREET were sprayed on the side. The experienced tractor driver directly drove head-to-head to the front of the MiG-29K. Then, the equally experienced assistant took the yellow towbar and hung it on the front landing gear of the aircraft and in front of the tractor.

The driver of the tractor put the reverse gear on, took the plane away from the landing position, started it, reversed it, turned around, made a big circle on the deck, and came to the far take-off point on the left side of the landing area on the inclined deck. A veteran who has worked for many years and has rich experience, he can be in place at one time and be accurate.

The gangway went up, the canopy opened, Obakilov stood there, waved to the people below, and then walked down.

He was going to greet flowers and applause, but as soon as he got down, Nishant Singh climbed up impatiently, got into the cockpit, and closed the canopy.

What is this for? Is it going to take off?

"Now, let us welcome the first pilot to land on the ship. He is the best carrier-based pilot in our navy, Nisant Singh!"

Someone is carrying a camera, someone is holding a microphone, talking in front of the camera.

Obakilov immediately understood, and for some reason, suddenly felt very nauseous.
