Sometimes the tickets for visiting are very cheap. For example, to go to Disney or Universal Studios, a ticket costs more than 600 or more than 1,000. It looks expensive, but it is actually very cheap.
Because compared to visiting an aircraft carrier, this ticket is relatively cheap: the standard for an active aircraft carrier in the Tang Empire is... a deposit of 100 million.
Yes, a 100 million deposit plus a 90 million purchase balance contract. Only after paying the money first will you be eligible to send a visiting group to visit the aircraft carrier of the Tang Empire.
As long as it has its own port and its own coastline, no country is willing to miss such an opportunity. Many countries paid the money and then arranged inspection groups as soon as possible to Linshui to visit the Datang Empire aircraft carrier docked at the dock for supplies.
This aircraft carrier has only been launched for more than three years and is actually very new. It is really huge, with a full load displacement of more than 30,000 tons. It is a true fleet aircraft carrier.
It wasn't until they boarded the gangway that the visiting delegation representatives from Dorn truly realized the hugeness of this aircraft carrier: its side was much higher than that of a battleship, and its flight deck was even more empty, allowing people to feel this huge war.
The majesty and power of the machine.
For this visit, the aircraft carrier deliberately made preparations in advance and took all the visitors on a voyage offshore.
The sailing formation included three destroyers, and the entire fleet was spectacular, allowing the visitors who boarded the ship to experience the majesty of an aircraft carrier fleet.
They were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They looked at every detail of the aircraft carrier very carefully, because they included technical backbones from various professions, so that they could go back and start imitating the aircraft carriers of the Tang Empire.
But the more they looked at it, the more frightened they became, because the entire aircraft carrier was simply a maritime city, and every detail was the crystallization of modern industry. They simply could not imitate such a complex project, because every detail on this battleship was full of...
Wonderful ideas.
When these people saw the Stuka dive bombers with folded wings parked on the deck, they finally confirmed that the Tang Empire had indeed folded the aircraft to increase the number of carrier-based aircraft.
But even if they actually touch the folding structure on the wings of a carrier-based aircraft, there is no guarantee that they can produce parts with the same strength so that their country's carrier-based aircraft can also fold its wings.
When they saw the elevator on the deck, they really understood that if the elevator was made larger, it could accommodate airplanes! Before, they had only thought about complex mechanisms such as cranes, but now they saw the elevator and discovered
Everything is so simple.
Unfortunately, they didn't wait long before they were happy. Engineers from related professions gave them a bucket of cold water: the technology required for the lift was just as complex, and they might not be able to copy it after they returned.
Then these people saw the blocking cable at the tail of the aircraft carrier: It was then that everyone suddenly realized that adding a hook to the tail of the aircraft could solve the problem of the aircraft landing on the aircraft carrier.
However, there are still many problems: there are many doorways inside the blocking rope. It would be really stupid to just think that they are four ropes.
There is also a lot of design on the bridge, the planning of the airstrip, the arrangement of the ground crew on the deck... Although these details cannot determine whether an aircraft carrier can fight, they do determine the combat efficiency of the aircraft carrier.
As a fleet aircraft carrier, it also has built-in special cabins such as a command post, a telecommunications room, a pilot's conference room, etc., each of which has an important role, and each of which has never appeared on previous warships.
When they saw that there is a hangar on the aircraft carrier, and there are maintenance equipment in the hangar, which can repair and test carrier-based aircraft, everyone was conquered by the complexity of the aircraft carrier.
The new weapons and equipment of the Tang Empire indeed brought them countless surprises. Just like countless times in the past, they were all shocked and felt that the visit fee was well worth it.
In the port, they also visited the performance of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Navy flying fighter jets, and had an "officer meal" on the aircraft carrier.
To be honest, it doesn't matter whether you eat a working meal or not. What is important is that when these people saw the Stuka taking off from the deck, they seemed to have seen the door to a new world.
The wind on the deck was refreshing, and everyone saw the carrier-based aircraft taking off into the wind. Everyone was full of confidence in the new round of revolution in the navy.
With aircraft carriers, their battleships can play a greater role. With aircraft carriers... their coastline can be safer.
In fact, they also have a little bit of regret. Unfortunately, they did not get what they wanted to see the new naval weapons that can launch attacks from long distances and can severely damage battleships.
As a dangerous weapon that the Tang Empire itself cannot deal with, the Styx missile is naturally not for sale. If countries around the world want to equip anti-ship missiles, they will probably have to wait until the Tang Empire has an Aegis destroyer.
.
Moreover, these mission representatives actually missed many small details on the aircraft carrier: the Fresnel optical landing assist systems on both sides behind the flight deck were covered by canvas, so they did not see this equipment during the visit.
Later, when the plane took off and landed, the location they visited was next to the bridge, so naturally it was impossible to see the system working.
These small details will not affect the combat effectiveness of their self-developed aircraft carrier until they return in the future and start their own aircraft carrier imitation plan... It doesn't matter, it's just a few more pilots killed, a few more aircraft crashed, and a few more repairs.
It's just an aircraft carrier, it's all a small matter.
Despite this, the naval aviation's take-off and landing performance did allow the visiting delegation to see the prototype of future naval warfare: the widespread application of radar and radio navigation has extended the distance of naval warfare to hundreds of kilometers.
In addition to the Styx anti-ship missiles that shined in the South Island naval battle, the carrier-based aircraft's aerial bombs and torpedoes also played an important role. The main fleet of the Mirage Navy was completely wiped out, which was the Tang Empire's carrier-based aviation force.
The best proof of combat effectiveness!
Therefore, while eating in the aircraft carrier canteen, representatives of various missions began to talk about related weapons procurement matters: It is undoubtedly not enough to just buy aircraft carriers. They must also purchase corresponding carrier-based aircraft for their own aircraft carriers.
.
Since then, the atmosphere has become lively. Some countries hope to purchase American World War II carrier-based aircraft such as the Dreadnought, and some countries hope to purchase Japanese carrier-based aircraft such as the 97th Ship Attack 99th Ship Explosion.
There are also countries that purchase British carrier-based aircraft such as the Sea Spitfire and Sea Hurricane, and some have simply begun to discuss purchasing Tang Dynasty's Corsair and Stuka carrier-based aircraft...
Naturally, not many people are willing to buy the infamous Zero carrier-based aircraft, but it is relatively cheap and has a long range, so it can be considered an option.
In addition, the Tang Empire also undertook the modification and converted some army aviation aircraft into carrier-based aircraft so that they could take off and land on aircraft carriers.
Recently, countries around the world have been purchasing Datang Group's high-tech products more frequently, because new weapons and new technologies are emerging one after another, which has indeed kept everyone's expenses high.
On the one hand, everyone is buying the Tang Empire's newly launched radar, missile, and fighter jet technologies. On the other hand, everyone is buying the Navy's submarine, aircraft carrier, and carrier-based aircraft technology.
In terms of civilian use, everyone is also very interested in the brand-new civil aviation jetliner, so it is natural to spend money to buy it. In fact, most countries have the idea of developing their own advanced fighter jets based on civil aviation engines.
It's a pity that they are destined to fail, because civil aviation engines and military fighter engines are completely different and have little reference value at all.
In addition, there are many dual-use technologies, including Huey helicopter technology. Many new technologies are of high value and countries are willing to introduce them.
The introduction of so many technologies naturally costs a lot, so the foreign exchange reserves of various countries are obviously not enough. Even if everyone has made a fortune relying on mercenaries before, the expenses are still higher.
The Tang Empire only used submarine technology, and almost made back the cost of hiring people to fight the Chinese Civil War. In order to purchase subsequent technologies, countries around the world had to start a new round of barter.
That's right, the main way for these countries to purchase new technologies and weapons and equipment from the Tang Empire was to export large amounts of raw ore.
The main reason why the Tang State imported a large amount of unrefined raw ore was because the Tang State hoped to obtain the associated uranium by refining these raw ores.
The Tang Empire's nuclear physics research has entered the most critical stage, and sufficient supplies of materials will greatly affect the results of subsequent experiments.
In fact, if the Tang Empire was a little more shameless and used Dongfeng 3 to launch a few dirty bombs on the North Island, the Goblin might have the opportunity to transform into the Hulk in the future.
In order to make up for the debt, all countries had to deliver a sufficient amount of ore, as well as grain and other hard currency to the Tang Empire.
In order to be able to pay for these goods, all countries have to rearrange their industries: the cattle they raise, the land they plant, the mines they dig... Obviously, they can be used as money at critical moments.
As time goes by, the entire world is also changing. The Tang Empire is transporting more and more materials and personnel to the New Island and the South Island, and the time for fighting on the main island has become more mature.
The Yangmu Empire and the Binghan Empire are still fighting fiercely in Rewind Port. Both sides have suffered heavy losses, but neither can do anything to the other. The two countries have consumed nearly 00,000 troops here, but the battle line has remained relatively stable.
status.
This war seems to represent the average level of war in the world: similar to trench warfare in World War I.
On the contrary, another battlefield, the almost forgotten Civil War in Great China, seemed to have a result.
