"Xifei?" Lao Zhang asked with some confusion.

"Uh, isn't it? This plane has a landing hook and a strengthened nose landing gear. It can't fly west?" He Gui asked in surprise.

"No, Teacher He, I won't go there. I will be at the ejection aircraft training place. The facilities there are also complete." Lao Zhang said immediately.

He Gui slapped his head: "I forgot, this drone needs to be ejected to board the ship."

At the same time, He Gui felt a little excited about electromagnetic catapults. The electromagnetic catapults in our mainland are envied and hated by the Americans, but no one knows what is going on, and it is highly confidential.

Our mainland's electromagnetic and laser technology was actually frightened by the space weapons promoted by the United States and the two guys from the north during the Cold War in the 1970s and 1980s. Electromagnetic weapons and laser weapons were so hyped that we had to keep up.

ah.

So later on, our laser technology and electromagnetic technology were the most advanced in the world. Some people asked, when we built large aircraft carriers, why did we build ski-jump ones?

The first ship is modified, the second and third are to verify one's design and manufacturing capabilities. As long as the manufacturing capabilities are improved, then won't the follow-up electromagnetic catapults come?

The most important thing is that we have thirty Q-bombs in reserve around the world. Two of these can bring back the small days.

"Hey, Teacher He, what kind of drone is this?" The workshop was cleaned up again. During the cleaning and packaging process, Lao Zhang's subordinates got a blueprint and asked.

"This gadget, a drone, a search and rescue drone, can be placed on a frigate or a large rescue ship. It has a catapult rack and can search tens of thousands of square kilometers of sea area at a time. It can stay in the air for up to ten hours.

You can carry a sonar buoy... I designed it at the time, but it felt a bit useless." He Gui looked at it and said.

Lao Zhang's hands were shaking: "Teacher He, how did this land?"

"A few hundred kilograms, get a big net bag, or just drop it into the nearby sea, pick it up and continue using it. The empty weight is about three hundred kilograms, and the full load is no more than five hundred kilograms." He Gui said.

"Why don't we take this out and take a look?" Lao Zhang wanted to say, this is useless, what is it? Even frigates can carry drones, is this still useless?

"Okay, this thing can be used in high-risk sea conditions. In addition, it is prepared and can be ejected at any time. It is faster than a manned helicopter. The main reason is that it is safe and can stay in the air for a long time." He Gui nodded.

"Okay, I'll leave this thing with you. I'll take care of whatever materials you want later." Lao Zhang immediately asked someone to put down the materials.

Every time it's over, this group of people clean up everything.

"Teacher He, what is this?" Lao Zhang saw a sketch, which looked somewhat like a submarine, but also somewhat unlike it.

"This is about designing an unmanned underwater vehicle. This part is a small reactor. I checked a lot of information. It seems that Da Mao has a model with a total weight of 30 tons. I have studied it... but I felt it was too dangerous, so I didn't do it."

He Gui said.

Lao Zhang was stunned, holy shit... Teacher He actually studied this kind of stuff.

Then Lao Zhang got excited, if Teacher He gave me the materials... wouldn't it be impossible for Big Ivan to make it?

"Tell me more about it. It seems to me that the design is perfect?" Lao Zhang said immediately.

"In my design, the total weight is about two hundred tons, and the maximum deep dive is 1,000 meters. The range depends on what you like. In theory, this unmanned submarine can run around the world at a slow pace, but communication is a problem.

"

"The speed is quite fast, almost forty knots. It uses dual power, propellers and jet propulsion."

"When encountering any danger, bubbles can also be formed in front of the unmanned underwater vehicle to reduce resistance."

"Of course, you can't outrun the anti-submarine aircraft, but don't even think about catching up with the frigates. When you finally open the bubbles and run away like crazy, the anti-submarine torpedoes may not be able to catch up."

Lao Zhang was stunned...even the anti-submarine torpedoes couldn't catch up?

But yes, isn't this thing just a large torpedo... Is this thing valuable?

He Gui also deliberately took it out to test it. If the higher-ups wanted it, he would reluctantly design it. If he didn't want it, forget it.

Manufacturing... This is impossible. I still want to live for a few more years.

It has to be said that at He Gui's Baian Aircraft Company in 2001, the designer Lao Maozi's ideas were simple and crude.

Unmanned submarine? That's all. What's the discovery? It can outrun the frigate and it can outrun your anti-submarine torpedo. What can you use to deal with me?

"This seems to be the supercavitation theory?" Lao Zhang finally remembered.

"Well, which one, but Lao Maozi used a rocket engine back then, so the range was short. My reactor itself has high pressure and high temperature..."

"The maximum speed of a supercavitating torpedo is 200 knots. I don't know the specific speed..."

Lao Zhang chuckled: "Teacher He, is it okay if I take this thing?"

"Take it away, I don't touch those dangerous things, but sometimes I have some inexplicable thoughts in my mind." He Gui waved his hand and said.

That night, He Guixian operated the drone and flew to a place in the northwest. Fortunately, it was no problem to fill up the fuel and fly there.

A base in the northwest, which is actually not very far from Xifei, today is under martial law everywhere, that is, most people inside the base are not allowed to come out.

But the boss of XAC is also here. Getting a drone onto a ship is not a simple matter. Ejection, takeoff, and landing require the cooperation of the aircraft, but how to cooperate.

The other is the signal transmission of the drone, the communication with the shipboard system, and the control.

There is this drone that can serve as the eyes and sentinel of the aircraft carrier.

After the plane landed, He Gui and others continued to take the plane to the base.

This is also an experimental base. It looks like an ordinary factory building. It is located in a valley and is surrounded by greenery.

When He Gui came here, of course he received a warm welcome.

Early the next morning, He Guicai discovered that there was a runway under this huge factory building, and the height of the factory building could be adjusted. In fact, when the aircraft landed on the ship, the height difference between the height of the aircraft and the height of the ship deck was not too big, and there was a hidden track.

, can be hidden in the factory building, or can be moved out.

Of course, the first thing to do is to modify the hook for landing and the landing gear.

He Gui is the boss here. The landing hook is hidden inside the belly of the aircraft. This thing is not very high. It needs to be put back manually after each landing. It will be put down automatically when landing. The height of this drone is inherently high.

It's not high, just over one meter.

It is too high and takes up weight, especially for a set of landing gear. As long as the back does not rub against the ground when taking off, it will be fine.

The landing hook is also specially manufactured. In fact, the risk of UAV landing on the ship is not very high. Firstly, it has a small weight and secondly, the thrust is not great.

But...if it fails, the chance of falling into the sea is very high.

This thing can't fly again under its own power...

Therefore, system docking must be done well, and the drone itself must also be well-equipped with a landing system.

There is a complete set of aircraft carrier simulations here, including the shaking of the landing deck.

The two big bosses of XAC treated He Gui like a distinguished guest. They asked him what size the landing hook was, what he needed, and what kind of nose gear he wanted.

Before the parts were obtained, He Gui learned about the ejection system, the aircraft carrier's command system, etc. Our electromagnetic ejection does not occupy the space of steam ejection, and our electromagnetic ejection takes up less space than the American electromagnetic ejection.

, just look at the number of ejections on our aircraft carrier.

This proves that it is better than the United States in terms of magnetic materials, superconducting materials, energy storage materials, and energy storage methods.

Don’t forget, our first electromagnetic ejection ship did not use a reactor. It can supply enough power, which is not simple.

However, since this is a training ground, you can take off and land first, mainly so that the drone can identify how to land through video recognition, and it can also be controlled manually.

Do not use electromagnetic ejection when taking off. Of course, it is not just He Gui himself, but also the personnel operating the drone. These people also need to receive operational training. In fact, drone operation is relatively simple.

Tanker aircraft also cooperate with takeoffs for training, but most of the time it is on cloudy days or in the morning or evening when there are clouds, or to avoid American satellites.

But it’s hard to avoid, there are too many, and then there’s the night training.

A week later, the equipment arrived, and He Gui's expanded system modules were almost ready.

While He Gui was busy at the base here, Lao Zhang wrote a report detailing the situation of the docking.

"Search and rescue drone... this is a good idea." The above people saw He Gui's design drawings. Search and rescue drones can drop sonobuoys. This is probably to search for big black fish.

Most frigates have towed sonar, but what can I say? The big black fish will know this thing from a distance and have already hidden it.

Moreover, even though the modern Blackfish weighs more than 10,000 tons, its speed is not slow at all, so frigates actually rely on helicopters for anti-submarine warfare.

Your frigate may not be able to catch up with them...

"Not only is it good, this kind of fast response is actually similar to the F35."

"Although the F35B has poor data, its only advantage is that it can respond quickly and can be used on helicopter carriers."

"Well, in modern confrontation, one can die in half a minute. I think Teacher He's idea is acceptable."

Naturally, an expert was there and said: "This design is actually very difficult. The first is the material, the power, the launch method and the landing method. The other is the control between the ship and the aircraft. There are many problems that require the cooperation of multiple departments.

."

"And we can't just fall into the sea and still use it after we pick it up..."

"What about the net bag landing?"

"This is on the ocean, and the technical difficulty is also very high..."

The people present heard this, thought about it, and then let the expert go.

"Since Teacher He has an idea, let's make it and see. I'm talking about drones."

"Well, I think this deep-sea submersible can also be used. It feels like a killer weapon with unlimited cruise."

"It can also be said that once there is a big Ivan offshore, it will basically be catastrophic for coastal cities, especially ports and the like."

"This... Teacher He probably doesn't want to make it, but can I ask Teacher He to design it and take a look?"

"Also..."

Then there is the matter of drones. The reason why no conclusion was drawn immediately is because after Lao Zhang obtained the information, he must find someone to come up with a result in terms of stealth materials, design, etc.

"Teacher He's invisible material design is no worse than ours."

"This is our luck. We have one more invisibility material."

"Teacher He's ideas on these invisible materials are not in the same system as ours, nor are they in the same system as those of the United States."

"This is genius."

What kind of genius is He Gui? In fact, He Gui relied on Baian's engineers. You must know that most of the talents under He Gui are from the north. Beifang conducted a lot of experiments in the past. To be precise, He Gui borrowed this material from

We collected some large-scale material data and combined it with the data of the United States 117.

Moreover, the vast land is sparsely populated and rich in minerals. There are many things falling from the sky, so there are some materials and data that others do not have.
