Chapter 947 The most comfortable room on the aircraft carrier
Compared with when it was launched, the 002 aircraft carrier currently undergoing sea trials is even more exciting. The work shed on the deck has long been demolished. Under the light, you can see various marking lines on the deck, but not the aircraft. Before returning, the aircraft
It's already ashore.
Zhang Zhen was full of excitement and led a group of sailors who stayed on the warship to wait for Mr. Liu by the dock. When he saw Mr. Liu coming, Zhang Zhen shouted loudly: "Salute!"
Everyone raised their right hands in unison to pay the highest respect to the old leader.
"Hello, Chief!"
Mr. Liu raised his right hand and returned the salute: "Comrades, thank you for your hard work. How do you feel about operating such a modern warship?"
Facing Mr. Liu's earnest gaze, Zhang Zhen said one word: "It's great!"
It’s so cool. I drove this aircraft carrier for sea trials and felt how powerful it was. Thinking about the scene where the deck is full of fighter planes in the future makes my heart beat even more.
"It feels good? It feels good, it just feels so good." Mr. Liu said: "This aircraft carrier is the most advanced aircraft carrier of our navy and a symbol of the strength of our navy!"
If he were twenty years younger, Mr. Liu would really want to go to sea with this aircraft carrier, but he really didn't dare to make this request now. Looking at the ambulance that appeared on the dock, Mr. Liu knew that he would not be able to help him when he came here.
A few people are in big trouble.
"Mr. Liu, do you want to come up and take a look tomorrow?" Qin Tao continued to persuade from the side.
After all, Mr. Liu has been working hard all day and night, and he is tired from traveling and traveling. It will be troublesome if he is exhausted again.
Mr. Liu turned his head and glanced at Qin Tao. He no longer insisted, but thought of something: "There should be a sailor cabin on this aircraft carrier, right? I will stay in our aircraft carrier hotel tonight. Mr. Qin, what do you think?"
The expressions of everyone around him changed.
Mr. Liu wants to sleep on the aircraft carrier?
"I can't go to sea with this aircraft carrier. Now I can only feel it on the shore. This aircraft carrier has a displacement of 80,000 tons. It should be as stable as on land, right?"
Qin Tao swallowed and spat: "Mr. Liu, I will live on the boat with you."
He didn't worry about Mr. Liu. He had to sleep with Mr. Liu so that he would be safe.
"Okay. I don't have to choose, just any room."
Although Mr. Liu said that he would not be picky, you can't believe it. The place where Mr. Liu lives must be carefully selected.
The island of the aircraft carrier is very small, and most of the sailors' cabins are below the deck. There are no portholes there, and ventilation can only be provided by ventilation equipment. Generally speaking, there is noise from the power system behind the warship, and there are various types of equipment below the warship.
Planting oil, etc., so the accommodation area for crew members on warships is often below the deck at the bow.
The same is true for aircraft carriers. There is a hangar below the deck, but the hangar is a rectangle and the bow is pointed. It is inconvenient to arrange the hangar, so a large section must be left vacant. This part is usually set up as an accommodation area. Lao Maozi
The exception is the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, where anti-ship missiles must be inserted.
So, with the aircraft carrier deck overhead, will it be exposed to the sun like a migrant worker’s iron house? This depends on the power supply capacity of the aircraft carrier. Generally, the power supply of aircraft carriers is sufficient, and the air conditioning of the entire warship is fully turned on.
Even when sailing on the equator, it is very comfortable down there.
If you have ever visited the Minsk aircraft carrier park, you can go up from the middle of the ship and walk a few floors to use the restroom. The portholes of the restroom face the outside. These portholes are all opened on the hull. However, on the hull of a modern aircraft carrier,
There are no portholes anymore, they are all made of iron. This also ensures safety. Needless to say, if an anti-ship missile comes over, even in high sea conditions, if the porthole is not closed tightly, the wind and waves may cause the sea water to fall.
Get involved.
There are no portholes below, and the accommodation is uncomfortable. Of course, we must take Mr. Liu to stay above. The island has a wide view and is definitely the best place to live.
However, not many people can live on the ship island.
Many people on Lao Maozi's heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser requested to have rooms on the ship island, not to mention a bunch of officers and pilots on the warship. Even some base leaders who occasionally boarded the warship for inspection also asked for rooms on the ship island.
Leave yourself a room, so the island is very spacious and occupies a large area.
The same is true for the domestic 001 aircraft carrier. After all, it cannot be significantly modified or the ship island can be changed. It can only keep those areas. It is different on the 002 aircraft carrier. Most of the warships on the warship, even the pilots, have to live in the area below.
, Of course, for the sake of confidentiality, no one knows where the pilots live down there. Occasionally, the base leader of the warship? Then just squeeze in at will.
The ship island is extremely compressed, and the smaller the better. The area saved allows more carrier-based aircraft to be parked.
However, despite this, there are two relatively spacious living spaces on the island, and they are also suites.
This is the captain's room and the aircraft carrier strike group commander's room.
The captain is the highest commander of the entire ship. In addition to listening to the pilot commander when the carrier aircraft is taking off and landing, at other times, he is the highest commander. Of course, he must have the best accommodation conditions.
This suite is comparable to the presidential suite.
Outside is the living room, and the first thing that catches your eye is the large swivel sofa leaning against one of the corners. This sofa can only be accommodated in a house of 200 square meters in China. It is very big, and it is difficult to sit on the sofa or even sleep.
no problem.
The sofa represents the living room. Opposite the living room is the dining room, which is a large table that can accommodate more than a dozen people.
Inside the living room and dining room, there is also a study room with a large desk. Opposite the desk are two sofas. There is also a three-person seat against the wall. Behind the desk, there is a swivel chair that can sway at any time on the aircraft carrier.
There is even a swivel chair in the place, which is enough to show the honor enjoyed by the captain.
"This captain's room is really nice." Mr. Liu went to the ship island and came to the captain's room, and he immediately sighed.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Mr. Liu, the captain's room is not only used by the captain. The large dining table outside can also be turned into a conference table at any time for senior officers on the warship.
It is used by officers for meetings." Qin Tao explained on the side to avoid Mr. Liu's misunderstanding: "Moreover, the aircraft carrier is a symbol of a big country. It may visit many countries, and the captain also has to entertain some people. The captain's room must be more luxurious.
It shows our demeanor as a great country."
Mr. Liu nodded. Aircraft carriers are not only a military means, but also a political means. Every time the President of the United States encounters a crisis, the first thing he says is where is our aircraft carrier. This is enough to show the importance of aircraft carriers.
"I can just sleep on this sofa." Mr. Liu said, "It's very soft here."
"Mr. Liu, please don't fight with me. I just like to sleep on the sofa." Qin Tao said, "Your sleeping place is inside."
Pass through the living room, pass through the study, open the door inside, and enter the captain's bedroom.
The sleepers on ordinary warships are the same as those on trains. They are divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The accommodation conditions are very difficult. Of course, the most difficult thing is the submarine. In many cases, there are not enough sleepers, and you have to take turns to sleep in the hot berth. And on the aircraft carrier
The conditions are much better, but ordinary sailors still have multi-person rooms, and the captain's room with a separate Simmons bed is definitely too rare.
Even if the captain brings his wife to have sex here, it is more than enough.
Looking at the big bed inside, Mr. Liu was also amazed. The space outside the captain's room can be explained, but what about the inside? Could it be that there are guests inside, and are they invited to sleep inside?
"The captain is the highest officer on the ship, so he must have the best sleep." Qin Tao explained: "When you go to sea for several months at a time, you must maintain enough energy."
The captain's cabin not only has a comfortable big bed, it also has a porthole, from which you can directly see the flight deck below, with an unobstructed view.
Mr. Liu stood in front of the porthole with emotion on his face.
"The captain must pay attention to the situation of the entire fleet at all times and respond when necessary. Therefore, there are portholes in the captain's cabin. However, the captain's cabin of the other aircraft carrier strike group is not so spacious. You should stay here."
Qin Tao said.
Zhang Zhen also said at the side: "Yes, Mr. Liu, although this is the captain's room, during the sea trial, I have always stayed with other sailors. No one has ever lived here, so you can come and give me the room."
Let’s be the first one.”
The aircraft carrier has not yet been commissioned. Although Zhang Zhen is the designated captain, he is used to sharing the joys and sorrows with others. He is not used to living in such a luxurious place.
"Strike the captain's room?" Mr. Liu was curious.
"Well, this is the customary name in the United States. We can call it the Fleet Commander's Office."
In some aircraft carrier formations, the aircraft carrier captain can directly command the entire formation. However, if necessary, a higher-level officer will be dispatched at any time. In Eastern terms, he can be called the fleet commander.
The fleet commander is not the aircraft carrier captain. The tasks they perform are different. The captain is mainly responsible for his own ship, while the fleet commander is responsible for the entire fleet. Theoretically, the fleet commander is a higher level.
However, the fleet commander generally does not need to convene subordinates for a meeting. To hold a meeting at sea, you have to take a helicopter, which is very inconvenient, so it is usually a telephone or online meeting. The fleet commander's room is not as big as the captain's, and there is no need for portholes.
.
Moreover, considering the conditions in the East, in many cases, the captain is expected to take on the command of the entire fleet. The fleet commander only comes up when needed, and may be vacant at ordinary times.
Mr. Liu nodded: "Okay, then I will sleep on this bed for one night."
Mr. Liu was indeed sleepy. He lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly. However, outside, on the wide right-angled sofa, Qin Tao and Zhang Zhen were lying, listening to the waves outside, but they could not fall asleep.
"Mr. Qin, are you asleep?"
"No."
"Mr. Qin, why do you have insomnia?"
"This is also my first night sleeping on this aircraft carrier!"
"Are you thinking about the next model of aircraft carrier?"
"Um."
"Can you tell me something?"
"No, this is a secret. Besides, you were there during the meeting. You also know what the next aircraft carrier will look like. Isn't it nuclear powered?"
"Nuclear power is great. We are all looking forward to nuclear power. By then, fresh water will be more abundant."
The two of them chatted for an unknown amount of time before they finally fell asleep. This time, they actually overslept. When he opened his eyes, Qin Tao was surprised to find that it was already eight in the morning.
o'clock.
He sat up. Zhang Zhen was gone. Looking at the suite inside, the old leader was gone too!
Okay, this guy actually left me behind?
Qin Tao strode to the desk and picked up the phone: "Hey, is this the restaurant? Have the captain and the others gone to have dinner?"
"No? They're on deck?"
Qin Tao walked into the bedroom and looked out through the porthole window. He saw a row of figures standing on the deck. They were doing morning exercises, and Mr. Liu was actually there, doing military boxing together!
Mr. Liu’s body is really strong!
Qin Tao quickly ran down the island and towards the deck. At this time, the morning exercises were over. Mr. Liu stopped his gesture and looked at Qin Tao.
"Mr. Qin, are you awake?"
"Captain Zhang, why didn't you wake me up?" Qin Tao looked at Zhang Zhen with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Mr. Liu said that you have been tired for a long time. Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear to wake you up. Let's do some activities on the deck first." Zhang Zhen's voice was low, and he obviously felt that this was not done properly.
, which seems to be stealing Qin Tao’s limelight.
Why am I tired? I'm just used to sleeping in. Qin Tao blushed a little and was too embarrassed to say anything at this time.
At this time, the morning sun filled the earth with golden sunlight. The water surface was sparkling and the deck was golden. It looked very spectacular. Mr. Liu smiled and said: "Mr. Qin, let's officially start our visit today. I'll wait for you."
It’s been a long time since this day. You must take me on this aircraft carrier, up and down, and see it clearly inside and out.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay." Qin Tao nodded: "We will walk around today, but we still have to eat first. Do you want to eat in the restaurant of the aircraft carrier?"
"Of course." Mr. Liu said: "Let me experience this aircraft carrier immersively today. I don't know if I will have the opportunity in the future."
"Of course." Qin Tao said: "When our 003 aircraft carrier goes on sea trial, we will continue to invite you to visit and experience the aircraft carrier."
"Come on, let's take the elevator down." Zhang Zhen greeted quickly.
"elevator?"
"Yeah. An elevator for carrying ammunition."
Although the aircraft carrier has more than a dozen floors, there are no ordinary personnel elevators. To be a sailor on an aircraft carrier, of course you have to be in good physical condition. You can go up and down the stairs easily. If multiple personnel elevators are installed, it will increase the failure rate, which is still ordinary.
The stairs are good.
However, the equipment on the aircraft carrier must have elevators, and aircraft must have special side elevators to get on and off. At the same time, ammunition transportation must have elevators, and this elevator is near the ship island.
Now, if Mr. Liu wants to have a meal in the aircraft carrier's restaurant, of course he has to use the ammunition elevator near the ship island, which is very convenient for transportation up and down.
Mr. Liu looked at the long elevator area in surprise. It was actually an elevator. He didn't know it when he came yesterday.
"Ammunition is transported through these elevators, but what about the oil?" Mr. Liu asked curiously.
"In terms of fuel, there are a total of fourteen refueling points on the deck of our aircraft carrier. Generally, the purple vest drags the refueling pipe on the deck to perform refueling operations. If necessary, you can also refuel in the hangar below. Of course
, hangar refueling is limited to special circumstances.”
At land bases, many aircrafts rely on refueling trucks. However, as the aircraft become larger and larger, the refueling trucks will also be exhausted. Take the J-5 for example, without the need for auxiliary fuel tanks, the aircraft can hold 9 tons of fuel.
, even if there are only twenty carrier-based aircraft docked on the deck, that is 180 tons of fuel. How many refueling trucks are needed?
Moreover, refueling trucks are walking incendiary bombs. If a fire breaks out on the aircraft carrier deck, it will be a big trouble. Therefore, modern aircraft carriers use refueling points, or refueling docks, which are similar to gas stations. There are pumps underneath.
The fuel is pumped directly from the oil storage tank, and the pumped fuel is directly added to the aircraft's fuel port through thick pipes.
During the official operation of the aircraft carrier, you can see countless purple vests walking back and forth carrying thick pipes to refuel the aircraft.
Even if the hangar is not closed, it is still dangerous to refuel. If there is a flame or something in the hangar, something serious may happen, so unless there are very special circumstances, you generally cannot refuel in the hangar.
After hearing the introduction of refueling, Mr. Liu was very curious and looked at the refueling port before entering below through the ammunition elevator.
"What kind of power does this aircraft carrier use during docking?"
"Of course it is the power transmitted from the shore. It would be a waste if you continue to use your own engine during the docking period." Qin Tao introduced: "Our ship-wide integrated power system also reserves the ability to receive power from the outside.
Of course, when we get nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, we won’t have to go to such trouble.”
The electricity outside is 220 volt direct current, which cannot be used directly. It has to be converted. The electricity inside is not used, it is directly the corresponding voltage. When the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is berthed, the nuclear reactor is also running at a low speed, and it can be completely driven.
The turbine generator supplies power to the entire ship and can also export power to the outside world if necessary.
"In other words, the engine room is now shut down?"
"That's right."
"It seems that I can still go to the engine room to have a look. The doctor told me not to go to noisy places. If the engine room is in operation, I can't go in. This is a good opportunity." Mr. Liu had a smile on his face.
.
"Well. Then let's go eat first. After eating, walk along the passage below, and then go to the engine room."
The inside of the aircraft carrier is like a maze. Sailors who have been here for half a year have to look at the signs on the bulkheads to avoid getting lost. However, Zhang Zhen is already familiar with the inside and knows where to go.
Mr. Liu is new to everything. Although he has seen 001, he has not looked at 002 as carefully as he did this time. He looked at the various structures and equipment on the warship and was filled with emotion. When he visited the American aircraft carrier, it was completely different.
Don't let me see these!
After visiting for a whole night, Mr. Liu reluctantly came down.
