Chapter 187, it is much simpler than building an aircraft carrier
"An aerospace carrier is not as difficult as an aerospace fighter. It has an anti-gravity device and flies in the sky. It is much simpler than building an aircraft carrier."
After Tang Peng heard this, he immediately smiled and said.
He was not talking nonsense. Originally, everyone thought that building an aerospace carrier would be a very difficult and super large project. However, after truly seeing the power of anti-gravity technology, the scientists and engineers of the project team went through rigorous
After discussion and demonstration, we found that it is simpler and easier than building an aircraft carrier.
Because aircraft carriers have to sail on the sea, they still involve many disciplines and fields related to shipbuilding. These disciplines and fields alone are enough to give people a headache for a long time and require detailed planning and involvement.
But the space carrier does not need to, because it flies directly in the sky and space, and there is no need to consider these factors at all.
What it needs to consider is how to support the continuous work of its anti-gravity device and ensure the safety, reliability and sustainability of the anti-gravity device so that it will not fall from the sky.
And precisely because of the existence of anti-gravity technology, the biggest problem that aircrafts need to consider, the problem of overcoming gravity, has been solved, and other problems are minor problems.
Like an aircraft carrier, its design is largely limited by its size and internal structure, but an aerospace carrier does not need to worry about these.
In terms of power, hybrid power is used.
The anti-gravity device provides anti-gravity to overcome gravity, and several self-developed aero engines are installed as auxiliary power to propel forward. If it enters space, there are several rocket engines as propulsion power.
Because there is no need to consider the factor of gravity, it may not be considered a behemoth, but the use of self-developed aero engines and rocket engines is enough to provide enough thrust, so that the speed of the space carrier is no worse than that of ordinary fighters.
Originally, the anti-gravity device required a large amount of electricity, and it was obviously unrealistic to use batteries. Therefore, nuclear power was directly launched, using nuclear power to generate electricity and provide powerful power and energy.
These are the core designs. If it is placed on an aircraft carrier, there are many factors that need to be considered. Because of the limitations of volume, mass and drainage, plus the need to build fighter jets and sufficient combat personnel, etc., the design requires
There are many factors to consider.
The space carrier is different.
As long as the anti-gravity device can provide strong enough anti-gravity to enable it to overcome gravity, it can be made very large, and its appearance and internal structure can be simpler and safer.
In terms of safety, since aircraft carriers operate on the ocean, they need to consider attacks from the air and the ocean. If they are too close to land, they also need to consider attacks from land.
Therefore, multiple considerations need to be taken into account, and multiple auxiliary warships, submarines, etc. need to be equipped.
But the space carrier does not need to consider so many factors.
When the aerospace carrier fights, it flies directly into space. The weapons that can attack targets in space are very limited. Except for large intercontinental missiles and attacks from space, there is nothing at all.
Can affect the space carrier.
You can't fly into space with ordinary airplanes, and you can't even reach its shadow. Safety can be greatly increased, and there are very few things to consider.
This is also the power of the space carrier. It is in space. For traditional weapons and equipment and combat methods, it is a dimensionally reduced existence.
This is like when you lose air superiority and the opponent's fighter planes continue to drop bombs above your head without restraint, but your cannon can't hit the opponent at all.
With the existence of the space carrier, it is no longer air supremacy, but space supremacy.
The air and space carrier can not only carry a large number of air and space fighters, but also can carry a large number of missiles and bombs to attack you directly from the sky.
The aerospace carrier can also launch attacks on all space targets in the sky, sweeping the space immediately and completely losing your eyesight in space.
But you have no way to deal with this space carrier.
Your fighter planes cannot fly into space and pose no threat to it.
In addition to intercontinental missiles that can enter space, your missiles can also be used by other air-to-air, ground-to-ground, and low-altitude missiles.
But the missiles on the aerospace carrier can easily intercept your incoming intercontinental missiles, and you still pose no threat to it.
As for other weapons, they have absolutely no effect or function.
These factors determine that building an aerospace carrier is actually much simpler and easier than building an aircraft carrier.
So much so that everyone immediately launched a nuclear-powered space carrier, using nuclear energy to generate electricity to provide energy for the anti-gravity and space carrier, and aerospace engines and rocket engines to provide auxiliary power.
After this is arranged, other aspects of the design will become even simpler, including the attack system, defense system, personnel safety system, and survival system.
And because the internal space is large enough, the design can be done with ease. Even though it was the first time for everyone to design and build an aerospace carrier, the demonstration and design were still quickly completed.
As for the faster construction, aircraft carriers also have to consider the use of special materials. In addition to considering radiation and the gravity-free environment in space, space carriers have fewer other factors to consider.
Your shell can be made directly from thick steel plates, and there is no need to consider seawater corrosion. Ordinary steel is fully capable. In order to reduce the weight, alloy materials are used.
What needs to be considered most is the continuity, safety and operability of many equipment and instruments in the space environment. However, in this regard, we have our own space station and have accumulated a lot of experience.
Therefore, after some demonstration and discussion, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that building an aerospace carrier is actually simpler than building an aircraft carrier, and it does not take too long to build.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that we have a strong government, with hundreds of scientists and engineers in related majors and fields, thousands of related supporting factories and enterprises, and we even have several large shipyards with rich resources.
It has built and operated large-scale ships, and even has accumulated rich genes for building aircraft carriers.
"It is indeed much simpler than building an aircraft carrier. This is mainly because of the anti-gravity technology. With this technology, we have almost 90% fewer worries and have much fewer things to consider."
"Without anti-gravity technology, even if we can build a powerful engine that can propel an aerospace carrier, we may not be able to build an aerospace carrier."
"Now I finally understand why we can build fighter jets, bombers and the like at will, and each one of them has very excellent and powerful performance. It's because there are so many benefits to having a strong heart."
Liang Youying also fully agreed with this.
Things that I thought were difficult at first turned out to be very simple when I actually did it. The use of anti-gravity technology solved most of the difficulties and worries of the space carrier.
“I’m really looking forward to the moment when it soars to 90,000 miles!”
Tang Peng looked at the Kunpeng-class nuclear-powered space carrier in front of him. It was too huge. Its huge body was really like a Kunpeng. The key was that it could soar up to 90,000 miles and fly directly into space.
"What are you talking about?"
At this time, Liu Yuan walked over with a smile on his face.
"Let's talk about the fact that it is easier to build a space carrier than an aircraft carrier."
Tang Peng replied with a smile.
"Well, building an aerospace carrier is indeed easier than building an aircraft carrier, and even easier than building an aerospace plane."
Liu Yuan thought about it and agreed deeply.
Of course he knows this best. The space carrier is the beginning of space battleships. For the mother star civilization, it is a weapon for dimensionality reduction and strikes, and there is no need to think too much about it.
However, with the development of science and technology, once we enter the interstellar era and war shifts from planets to space, it will slowly develop into interstellar battleships and space battleships. At that time, there will be more things to consider. The first stage is
The age of giant ships and cannons.
The initial stage of star battleships is to compete with who is more resistant to beatings and whose attacks are more powerful. At that time, it really needs to be constantly tempered, constantly integrating many technologies, constantly innovating, and carrying more fighters that can attack.
Have stronger defense capabilities, etc.
"By the way, how is the research on aerospace fighters going?"
Liang Youying looked at Liu Yuan, thought for a while and asked.
Liu Yuan is a genius, but he doesn't seem to be interested in building an aerospace carrier. Instead, he is more interested in building an aerospace plane, because he feels that the technology and experience in building an aerospace plane can be used in the rebellion in the future.
Go on the gravity aircraft, so you can use it to make money.
Therefore, we also bring our own scientists and engineers to spend time with the aerospace aircraft research and development team every day, and they have the clearest understanding of the development progress of the aerospace aircraft.
"The plan has been finalized. It is actually very simple. It is also a combination of hybrid power, anti-gravity and jet power. The most difficult thing is actually the shell material, because the speed of the aerospace fighter is too fast, so we have to re-research it.
A new type of material.”
"The other problem is the overload problem of acceleration and deceleration too fast. We have spent a lot of energy to solve this problem. Acceleration and deceleration are too fast, which is also a headache. The overload is too large and it is very unbearable. The pilot must be treated
Relevant protection.”
Liu Yuan thought for a while and replied, the biggest problem of air and space fighters is the many problems caused by too fast speed. By solving these two major problems, air and space fighters can be manufactured quickly.
