Privately owned, airship R&D center, a huge airship is being assembled. But this airship is different from other airships.
The hard shell and slender hull look particularly majestic and majestic.
In addition to its hard shell, the biggest feature of this airship is that it is armed to the teeth. It has a variety of defensive weapons on the outside and is armed to the teeth. It is obvious that this is a military airship.
The private sector has been researching military airships. However, due to the limitations of airships, military airships have not made much progress. After all, military airships need to be equipped with weapons and equipment, and those weapons and equipment are very heavy. Even if they rely on the buoyancy of the airship, they can
When lifted into the air, the load capacity is not too large.
But things are different now. The design of this huge airship has been modified. Below the airship, there are many jet holes densely distributed. From below, it looks like a honeycomb.
But this is not a honeycomb. Each jet hole is an ion engine. These ion engines are distributed under the airship. The ion engines provide lift, allowing this special airship to easily enter an altitude of 50,000 meters.
The ion engine provides lift, and the huge lift makes this airship no longer an airship. It should be more appropriately described as an airship.
Unlike ordinary airships, the airbag is on the outermost side. The airbag of this super airship is in the center of the airship. The entire airship is like a sandwich hot dog. The airbag is in the middle, and there is a steel cabin on the outside.
These cabins are all made of new materials, and their defense power is particularly amazing, even higher than that of warship cabins.
Each cabin has its own function. This airship is more than two thousand meters long, and it carries so many weapons that it is terrifying.
This is an escort airship, which plays the role of a guard. Just like the missile frigate of an aircraft carrier. This airship is the aerial shield.
This airship has a total of 188 missile launch holes. The launch holes are scientifically distributed. Compared with the huge hull, these 188 launch holes occupy a very small area.
188 launch holes can be launched in different ways, and 188 missiles can be launched at one time.
In addition to the launch holes, there are many Phalanx systems densely distributed around the hull. Even if the missile is not intercepted, it will not be able to escape the Phalanx attack in the end.
At the same time, the airship is equipped with the most advanced phased array radar and control system. The control system uses quantum chips, as well as the most advanced artificial intelligence system.
Without the need for human operation, artificial intelligence can control the defense system to defend against incoming missiles. This airship can carry nearly two thousand missiles of various types. Even if the opponent is saturating the attack, it is not that easy.
Escort airship, the entire airship can be used for air defense, ground attack, anti-submarine, and anti-ship.
However, the biggest role is to protect the Aerial Fortress. The Aerial Fortress is currently being designed by the private sector. The entire Aerial Fortress is a huge aerial base.
The Sky Fortress uses nuclear power, which provides power to the ion engine, allowing the huge base to float in the air and move at a very high speed.
Once a war breaks out, such an aerial fortress becomes a mobile super base that can quickly support anywhere.
This thing is not for private use, but is developed to help China. Private people cannot use such things, but China needs it.
China has no bases overseas, but with China's economic growth, China has a need for military services, so this thing is the most suitable. It floats in its own airspace when nothing happens, and goes to others when needed.
place to fight.
When the last hatch is installed, the entire escort airship is officially completed. The entire airship has been tested and demonstrated many times in the virtual R&D center, including what it will look like after withstanding a saturation attack.
With the virtual R&D center, not only the research and development speed is fast, but also a lot of precious data can be obtained. Although these data are not 100% real, the degree of reality is very high. With this data, it is crucial for the research and development of many things.
"It's a pity that you can't be invisible"
The chief designer looked at this airship and couldn't help but sigh. This airship cannot be invisible. However, although it cannot be invisible, it is not that easy to attack this airship.
The firepower is so powerful that fighter jets dare not approach it. The missiles carried on this thing are much more than those carried on fighter jets, and they are much more advanced.
The radar above can detect farther. Those fighter jets will be discovered by the airship before they enter the attack range. The nearly two thousand missiles on the airship are no joke.
There is no good way to deal with this thing except saturation attack. But it is not that easy to saturate the attack. It is difficult for an ordinary aircraft carrier battle group to conduct a saturation attack on an airship.
When the time comes to cooperate with the air fortress, an air fortress will be surrounded by at least four to six such escort airships. By then, it will be more difficult to saturate the attack.
"Charge……"
The chief designer issued an order, and high-voltage charging ports were inserted into the charging holes one by one. Super batteries are used inside the airship. The super batteries are divided into reasonable parts.
Super batteries have been developed for so long, and manufacturing costs have long been reduced. However, the batteries have still been kept top secret.
Using super batteries as energy source, the airship can stay suspended in the air for six months. Even in the most intense battle conditions, it can last for one month without any problem.
Once the construction of the aerial fortress is completed, the airship can be charged directly in the air. At the same time, the airship is also surrounded by super photovoltaic films. In the static and suspended state, the weight provided by the photovoltaic film can also meet about half of the consumption.
Twelve hours later, the airship was 20% charged. Although it only had 20% power, it was enough for the experiment.
If it is fully charged, even with fast charging, it will take sixty hours.
"take off"
The chief designer personally entered the airship and gave the order to take off. Taking advantage of the darkness, the airship began to take off. The internal airbag could only allow the airship to just leave the ground. To enter the air, it must rely on an ion engine.
The ion engine started, and the huge airship slowly rose into the air. The thrust of the ion engine became stronger and stronger, and the airship rose faster and faster.
Theoretically, this airship can enter space like a rocket. But no one dares to take this risk. It is okay in the stratosphere. Once it enters the electromagnetic layer, the complex electromagnetic environment inside may damage the equipment inside the airship at any time.
The airship took off and reached an altitude of 50,000 meters in more than half an hour, and the test officially began.
