Zhao Ye thought of two solutions for later generations: steam ejection and electromagnetic ejection.
Do you really want to do this? Does such a small ship really need to be equipped with such a complicated system?
Zhao Ye was undecided.
How did later generations fly drones?
Zhao Ye suddenly wanted to find inspiration for future generations. After checking some information, Zhao Ye really found a way.
He was fascinated by the real aircraft carrier before, but now he looks beyond the scope of the aircraft carrier. This is very simple!
Just attach a rocket to the drone! What else is needed for ejection? There is no one inside, so what if there are twenty or thirty G overloads? As long as the electronic equipment can withstand it, then there will be no problem!
Zhao Ye only took one day to come up with the plan. It was very simple.
For larger aircraft, two pylons are designed at the root of the wings to install booster rockets. This rocket is not that rocket! It just uses a rocket engine like a rocket launcher. The structure is simple, the cost is cheap, and it can be used once it is used.
Throw it away without any regrets.
Smaller aircraft do not need to occupy the runway, just install a few launchers directly on the lower deck.
As a result, there are more models of this carrier-based aircraft.
When this plan was put in front of everyone, everyone was shocked. Can the plane still take off like this?
But imagine it, it might actually work!
Just try it and find out if it works. The old general gave an order and a large drone was modified.
This modification is very easy, and the basic structure does not need to be changed.
Zhao Ye personally operated the booster rocket, using an engine and solid fuel similar to the 107 rocket launcher, but the fuel formula was optimized, making it more powerful and larger.
On the test field, a distance of one hundred and ten meters was marked. This aircraft only had such a short runway available. It exceeded this red line, proving that the plan was not feasible.
Although the pilot was not sitting on the plane, he still felt a little excited when he saw the rocket that was about to catch up with the captain of the plane.
"Prepare to take off and do final inspections. Pilots should not forget that the steps for taking off are different from before."
"Understood!" the pilot agreed, and immediately took another look at the operating procedure instructions posted in front of the bridge.
The handwritten instructions were just written by Zhao Ye, and the pilot just recited them silently in his mind a few times.
Everything is so "efficient"!
Press the brake
engine ignition
Turn the engine to maximum
Rocket ignites, release the brakes
One or two, pull up!
"There is no pressure line, there is no pressure line, it's done, it's done!" The pilot immediately checked the red line on the ground. This is a line painted with red paint. As long as it is pressed a little, you can see the traces.
When the plane flew dozens of meters away, the two rocket boosters naturally fell off the plane.
The drone underwent a complete set of operational training under the control of the pilot, and the final conclusion was that the aircraft was not affected. Then it returned.
"Hey, what did I say? There's always a way, if you think about it!" The old general smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
"Old General, don't be too happy. This is the first step. The next project is the big one!" Zhao Ye poured cold water on the old general at the right time. He was not afraid of the difficulties ahead, and
I'm afraid that the old general will be too happy and it will cause high blood pressure.
"What problems are there next?" The old general is full of confidence now, and he is also heroic when facing difficulties.
"There are still many problems. If we want to carry out air combat missions, this aircraft is actually not suitable. We have to develop a new carrier-based drone, which is definitely not possible in a short time. General Cheng, there is one more thing,
Even if it is done, if unmanned aircraft want to fight with manned aircraft, we should not have this illusion within a few decades."
Zhao Ye was really worried that the old general had placed too much hope on this and would eventually be unable to withstand the blow of failure.
"Yezi, I understand this! I have learned about this unmanned aircraft during this period, and I know that there is a huge delay when this aircraft makes movements. Based on this, experienced pilots
, you can seize the opportunity to shoot down this drone in one fell swoop.
But why do we still need to discover this aircraft? Let me tell you, this aircraft still has a very important role. There are many shortcomings, but there are also many advantages! When the time comes, unmanned aircraft and manned aircraft will cooperate in combat, and they will definitely produce
It has a different effect.”
To be honest, Zhao Ye was shocked by the old general's idea! UAVs paired with manned aircraft, this combat model, even fifty years later, is still a very "advanced" tactical thinking. It's just that later generations
Smart systems can't keep up.
But just because future generations can't keep up, it doesn't mean that this world can't keep up either.
In the laboratory of the joint factory, since the three-micron technology was conquered, one-micron technology is now just around the corner.
The advancement of theory has ensured the upgrade of chips. As for the material problem, it is not a problem here for Zhao Ye.
As for why they don’t launch a three-micron chip, I can only say that it’s not the time yet. There is no chip with similar performance in the world. Of course, in the market, they can still make profits with this chip, so why are they anxious to release a new one?
What about?
Of course, this refers to commercial chips. In the drone project, the chips currently used are already the most advanced models.
As General Cheng contacted his old comrades, he wanted to get more advanced equipment here. More people knew that a big project was going on here, and more units and projects gathered here.
.
Wait until those curious people come over and take a look, let me go, your imagination is really big, but why don't we participate? Besides, we have a XXX technology, do you want to try it out?
What? No need?
What a joke! How can you not use such technology? Do you know how to design warships? If you don’t know, transfer this project to us and we will do it!
Zhao Ye hopes that the more units involved, the better! As long as you don't make things difficult for him, you can do whatever you want.
As a result, people from the Radar Research Institute came, people from the Missile Research Institute came, people from the Artillery Research Institute came, and even people from the Southern Shipyard wanted to get involved.
"We are not building a ship, let alone a warship. You said it's okay if your shipyard comes, but you also propose a modification plan for the hull and keel! How to modify that thing? After modification, I might as well build a new ship.
Here! Can you please stop making trouble?" General Cheng was dumbfounded when faced with the plan proposed by his comrades in the shipyard.
"I said, Lao Cheng, have you forgotten the time when you begged us? I am not insisting on cooperating with this project. You may also know that in the past two years, our country has not had a shipbuilding task, or it has,
It’s not our Southern Shipyard’s turn either. If our Southern Shipyard doesn’t accept another task, the workers’ hands will be raw. Lao Cheng, no matter what, you have to leave some production tasks for us!” Director of Southern Shipyard
He held on to Old General Cheng and refused to let go.
"Old Chen, it's not that I won't help you, it's that this ship really can't be modified according to your ideas. If you really want to modify it like that, you might as well build a new one!" General Cheng was also at a loss. Of course he understood the difficulties of his old comrades.
.However, some things really cannot be solved by just patting the chest.
For example, when it comes to money matters, he has nothing to do.
Building ships costs money, and it's a lot of money. This matter has always been controlled by the United Factory. Even if he is a general, his say on this matter does not count.
General Cheng talked hard and finally calmed down his old comrade. As soon as Lao Chen was sent away, another old comrade from outside came.
A few days later, as soon as Zhao Ye walked into the gate of the ship repair yard, General Cheng came out with a group of men in military uniforms.
"We all know each other. This is Comrade Zhao Ye. If you have any ideas, tell him directly. It's better than talking around me!"
As soon as he came up, General Cheng sold Zhao Ye to these old comrades.
Zhao Ye didn't know why, so he could only follow these people to the conference room and listen to what these old soldiers had to say one by one.
In the end, Zhao Ye also understood that in recent years, the domestic environment has not been good, and accordingly, national defense construction, especially the construction of warships, has been at a relatively lagging level.
These people are anxious! These veterans all have a strong desire to build our country's navy into a world-class navy! However, many circumstances do not allow it, which makes them anxious.
Now that they saw such an opening, everyone was swarming to get involved. Zhao Ye counted silently in his mind. They basically had all the departments related to warships.
This is a good thing!
Zhao Ye quickly made a plan in his mind, and then he became all smiles.
Want to get involved? No problem! The more the merrier.
The Southern Shipyard wants to build a ship, but we may not be able to do it. Just kidding, is it so easy to build a warship? Not to mention the technical issues, it is to build, when to build, and what kind of ship to build. These are the highest priority.
It's decided by the senior management. Their level is so far behind that they can't make such a decision at all.
However, warships cannot be built, so a smaller speedboat should be fine, right? Equip it with missiles, and it will be a wolf pack on the sea! Zhao Ye immediately thought of the missile speedboats of later generations, with a speed of fifty knots, coupled with
Eight anti-ship missiles, coupled with its reliable stealth performance, as long as there are enough, any fleet targeted by it will have its heart in its throat.
This is very good. Even in the era when large warships in later generations have already laid dumplings, this kind of speedboat naturally has its place. This is enough to prove that such equipment is suitable for dealing with the situation in the South China Sea.
This is it. Other people's aircraft carriers have escort fleets, so we have to have them too. Since conditions are limited and we don't have big ships, we have to make do with simple things and use speedboats!
