"The C130, the main transport aircraft of the Korean army, has a maximum load capacity of 20 tons. If you want to transport nearly 500 tons of stuff, you will need at least 25 sorties."
"Okay, Comrade Zhang, I understand." Qin Yi nodded, crossed out a plan in his mind, and took out a newspaper to read.
He reached out and pointed, and there was a picture of an aircraft carrier printed on it in color.
"Do you know anything about the USS Excellence?"
Researcher Zhang chuckled, "This aircraft carrier is the second ship of the Royal Navy's Invincible-class aircraft carrier. It is a light aircraft carrier with a displacement of only about 20,000 tons."
"After World War II, the national strength of the Republic of China was weakened, and the Royal Navy was no longer able to maintain the design and construction of the next generation of large aircraft carriers. If it wanted to continue its fleet aviation combat capabilities, the Royal Navy had to find another way. Performance compromised with budget, so it developed vertical take-off and landing aircraft and
Various helicopters serve as the main combat force of the aircraft carrier."
Qin Yi frowned, "Then what do you think of this aircraft carrier?"
"generally."
"Why do you say that?" Qin Yi was a little surprised.
"Short legs." Researcher Zhang chuckled.
"Although the performance of the Sea Harrier vertical/short takeoff and landing fighter is good, its biggest disadvantage is that the range, activity radius and bomb load during vertical takeoff are too small. Moreover, due to structural characteristics, it cannot be used when taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier.
Steam catapult and arresting hook.”
"The Invincible-class aircraft carrier itself has inherent shortcomings. The size of the hangar originally designed was based on the size and number of anti-submarine helicopters. It can only barely carry Sea Harrier aircraft, and can carry up to 24 aircraft. Its combat effectiveness is extremely limited. There are various types of aircraft in the ship.
The storage warehouse is also too small, and the reserves of aviation ammunition and other combat materials are too small. In addition, the performance of electronic equipment and self-defense weapons and equipment are not good."
Qin Yi nodded, "It doesn't look very good."
"But an aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier." Researcher Zhang sighed, his eyes full of longing.
"Sooner or later, we will also have our own aircraft carrier." Qin Yi smiled and patted the researcher.
"I hope so." Researcher Zhang sighed. Considering the domestic situation, he didn't even dare to think of such a thing.
"Please give me a detailed introduction to the layout of this aircraft carrier, focusing on its electronic system, communication system, and power system."

Researcher Zhang regained his energy, picked up a pen, started drawing sketches on the paper, and kept talking.
"The whole ship has seven decks and more than 600 cabins of various sizes. Important cabins are separated by complex and reliable watertight doors. Rolled steel plates and Kevlar armor are installed to enhance the resistance capability. Thick cabins are also laid.
of asbestos material.”
"The flight control room is located on the top floor of the front part of the superstructure. It has the largest field of view and can look over the flight deck of the entire ship. There is a bridge on the deck below the flight control room. The combat command room and the main communication room are located in the deckhouse.
On the lower level, there is a single-person elevator between the bridge and the flight control room.”
"The island cabin also houses aircraft dispatchers, aircraft control, firefighting, flight deck warehouses, technical reports and aircraft weapon preparation, etc. There is a hangar and 4 cabins in the middle below the deck. The deep magazine is at the bow, equipped with 2
There is a 1-ton elevator, the ammunition depot is in the middle, and there is also an elevator.”
"There are four gas turbines arranged in pairs in the front and rear main cabins at the bottom of the aircraft carrier. The double bottom of the main cabin extends to both sides, forming a double-layer shell on the sides of the engine room, which has certain protection against underwater weapons.
It has a protective effect, but compared with the mine protection structure of three or four longitudinal bulkheads on the side of a large aircraft carrier, this protective measure is still weak."
Qin Yi listened to Researcher Zhang's story attentively and asked questions from time to time.
The two of them talked for several hours, and they still had some unfinished ideas.
Qin Yi looked at Researcher Zhang who was already looking tired and said gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Zhang."
"You're welcome."
"I have one last question."
"You tell me."
"How much dynamite do I need to sink it?"
"Ah?!" Researcher Zhang was confused.
…
Central Pier.
A huge steel behemoth was parked quietly on the shore, and the five thousand-ton frigate next to it looked extremely petite in comparison.
Hugerson raised his head and looked at the huge monster in front of him, his face full of pride, and he praised: "It is really a beauty."
Commodore John Prest, commander of the aircraft carrier fleet, looked proud and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Before you came, I never had a good night's sleep on Hong Kong Island." Hugerson said bitterly, "This damn place and those yellow-skinned monkeys all make me feel disgusted."
"There are also those incompetent bureaucrats. Nothing can be done with them. Can you imagine that under the heavy protection of dozens of SB agents, two billion US dollars and fifteen tons of gold were lost?"
Brigadier General John Prester smiled and nodded, "That's really terrible."
"John." Hugerson let out a long breath, "It's great that you can come, otherwise I wouldn't know how to transport these valuable goods back to the mainland."
"The Royal Navy is happy to serve you." Commodore John Prester said with a proud tone, "The powerful Royal Navy will never be defeated. Lord Hugson can rest assured."
"Getting on the ship is like entering a safe."
"Very good." Hugerson stepped up the gangway and came to the deck of the aircraft carrier, looking down at the busy scene on the dock.
The entire dock is full of heavily armed soldiers on guard with guns, and no one is allowed to approach except for the Ying army and SB agents.
More than a dozen trucks were parked neatly in the open space, and the tightly packed wooden boxes were transferred by forklifts one by one, and then transferred to the aircraft carrier by crane, and transported to the lower hangar by the lifting elevator in the middle of the deck.
Dozens of wooden boxes are stacked in a spacious hangar and are jointly guarded by Marines and SB agents.
After watching all the valuable cargo being transferred into the aircraft carrier, Hugerson was finally relieved. He turned to look at his secretary Bernard, "Where's Richard? Why didn't I see him?"
"He didn't come," Bernard replied. "He said he had some unfinished business."
Hugerson snorted, but didn't take it to heart.
This guy was of no use to him anymore, so he didn't care whether Richard got on board or not.
Hugerson walked towards the island and said, "John, please buy me a drink. The weather today is terrible."
"What to drink? I only have whiskey."
"It's better to have wine than nothing." Hugerson was in a particularly happy mood at this time. "When will we set sail?"
"anytime."
"Hurry up then, I can't wait."
Half an hour later, the aircraft carrier Excellence slowly sailed out of Hong Kong Island and headed towards the high seas surrounded by frigates.
…
Night gradually falls,
On the high seas, there is a mighty aircraft carrier formation composed of frigates, destroyers, supply ships and nuclear submarines.
In the captain's cabin of the aircraft carrier Excellence, Hugerson and Commodore John Prest drank happily and became drunk.
The two chatted happily, each talking about some tidbits.
Just as he was talking happily, there was suddenly a knock on the cabin door.
Brigadier General John Prester was interrupted and looked very angry, "Go away, didn't you see that I was entertaining guests?"
But the person outside the door was extraordinarily persistent. Instead of leaving, he knocked louder.
John Priest stood up angrily, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door, "You bastard, where are you..."
The roaring voice seemed to be cut off suddenly, and the huge John Prester suddenly took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
Hugerson was startled. He looked up and saw a tall Chinese man standing at the door.
The visitor was looking at Hugson with a smile on his face, raised his hand to say hello, and showed a ferocious smile, "Hello, you are Sir Hugson, right?"
"You, you, you, who are you?" Hugerson was shocked.
