The formal military exercise is tomorrow. After the two teams of troops gather, it is less than 600 kilometers away from the designated sea area. The speed is 20 knots, a few hours in the afternoon and one night to reach the destination.

More than enough.

After passing the Tropic of Cancer, it is the tropical area. Although some are tropical areas in the natural zone, the climate is quite good. The navigation is between 15 degrees north latitude and the sea breeze blows, making people feel particularly comfortable. At night, the commanders held this exercise again.

At one meeting, Xu Ziling had the honor to attend, but with the idea of ​​a low position, he did not speak, but just listened from the side.

The meeting was over and it was still early. Captain Zhang, Tang Jiannian and others said they would go outside to have a breeze, so the group of people brought a lounge chair and formed a row of leisurely blowing the sea breeze on the deck.

Even if they were chatting, the topic was all about military affairs. Captain Zhang understood the actions of Jiangnan Factory and was busy asking. He was interested at this time and asked about this matter.

The construction of the dock has started, and the overall project will be completed in three months, and the aircraft carrier hull will start construction, so there is nothing to hide in this kind of thing, so Xu Ziling introduced this matter in detail.

There are more than ten or hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo ships abound, but more than ten thousand tons of aircraft carriers are really incredible. From Xu Ziling's mouth, Captain Zhang sighed, a few years ago,

He became the captain of the first aircraft carrier in China and was ecstatic, feeling that his country had finally had an aircraft carrier, but in the past five years, he was preparing to build an aircraft carrier worth more than 100,000 tons.

He had to sigh that this world is really impermanent!

Did you ever think that such a thing would happen?

"Oh, by the way, a few days ago, I suggested to the superiors that we equip a 'shadow dragon'. I wonder if you have received the message?" After talking about the aircraft carrier, Captain Zhang suddenly said something that surprised Xu Ziling.

The news comes.

"Oh?" Xu Ziling was stunned. He had called Fan Yi a few days ago, but he had not heard of this. But he quickly realized, "I have never heard of this, but no one has ever heard of this.

It's a bit difficult to equip the aircraft onto the aircraft carrier."

As a transfer location, an aircraft carrier is still suitable, but if you want to choose to equip drones, Xu Ziling's aircraft carrier still has this possibility, but it is impossible to at least "Shadow Dragon One" on the Liaoning, because "Shadow Dragon One" is "Shadow Dragon One" because "Shadow Dragon One"

"The spreading wing has exceeded the limit of carrier-based aircraft, and there is no such large lifting platform on the Liaoning.

There are only two ways to solve this problem. One is to change the lifting platform on the aircraft carrier. However, this method is impossible to achieve, because it is not easy to increase the lifting platform, and it will have an impact on the deck of the entire aircraft carrier.

.

Then the remaining method is to make the "Shadow Dragon" smaller, or change the wings to fold, just like a carrier-based fighter.

But drones have a flying wing layout, with the wing and fuselage as one, unlike other types of aircraft such as duck layout. It is not an easy task to make the flying wings foldable.

The size of the drone is similar to redesigning a model, so Xu Ziling said that it is not an easy thing to equip a drone on an aircraft carrier, unless it is always placed on the deck,

If you put it into the hangar, you may be equipped on the "Liaoning".

"Can't we get a carrier-based aircraft?" Tang Jiannian and Captain Zhang both knew about the basic technical knowledge. On this issue, both of them had similar problems.

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly. This is not a question of whether a carrier-based aircraft is not a carrier-based aircraft. Yinglong has considered the carrier-based situation when doing this. If it is small, it will affect the range and combat effectiveness. The main problem is the one I purchased.

On the Liaoning lifting platform: its hull itself was purchased. At that time, the construction countries only considered their own carrier-based aircraft, and the hull was built nearly twenty years ago. The times were different, and some

The standards are naturally different. A slightly larger aircraft cannot be stored.

"The layout of the flying wings is that many instruments are on both sides of the wings, and it is impossible to fold the wings like ordinary carrier-based aircraft. Moreover, at the beginning of the design, I had already considered the carrier-based issue and wanted to ensure that

Performance and combat power, the drone can no longer change its size. Now it is the smallest. If you want to equip it on the "Liaoning", unless I redesign one, but the range, the amount of ammunition is carried, etc.

It definitely can't compare to the 'shadow dragon'. Otherwise, it would be to change the lifting platform of the aircraft carrier."

...

"Then I can't equip us?" Captain Zhang asked quickly.

"Unless you don't enter the hangar, just put it on the deck. Otherwise, you'll spend a lot of time changing the lifting platform."

Next came silence.

Then Captain Zhang looked dejected.

"It seems that we can't equip it. No wonder the superiors didn't respond. I guess they knew about this and didn't want to contact you at all. It's just that I'm busy these days and haven't replied to me."

Seeing him like that, Xu Ziling felt a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he said, "The Liaoning has been in service for a long time, and it should be time to maintain it? Maybe there is no reply from above, just thinking about changing the lifting platform.

What about this?"

Xu Ziling's meaning of comforting was too obvious. Captain Zhang smiled after hearing this, without comment.

After chatting for a while, it was getting late and there was something important tomorrow. Everyone didn't talk much and went back to the cabin to rest.

With a brand new satellite navigation system, it is no problem to have no one on duty in the cockpit. The huge fleet is sailing quietly in the sea. When I wake up, it will be dawn the next day.

There is a flavor of activities on the aircraft carrier. After washing up, a group of people began to run around the deck until it was dawn and they did not disperse and started to have breakfast.

Li Cheng's child is still young. This time Xu Ziling did not let him go with him. Only Yang Kaiming was followed, and Duan Zhan stayed on the land. After the two of them had breakfast, they came to the command center of the island. It was still early, so I wanted to know.

Regarding the situation with the Americans, Xu Ziling turned on the satellite scan and turned the picture to the large screen of the command center.

Xu Ziling was not surprised that the Mid-level army had an aircraft carrier formation. What surprised him was that he finally "intuitively" realized the naval power of the Philippine people. However, after watching it, he was very surprised that with these broken copper and iron

, They dare to be so arrogant.

There were five warships participating in the Philippines this time. Xu Ziling looked at them and they were all antique-level goods. The one with the strongest combat effectiveness was actually produced by the Americans during World War II, and the latest one was

A second-hand product that has been in service in the United States for more than 40 years.
