"Yes, we just want to focus on the future," Qin Guan said. "We want to step by step to become a naval power."
"Then, let's discuss the construction plan of a new generation of aircraft carrier?" General Zhang said.
On the second aircraft carrier equipped by his own side, Qin Guan finally began to think of it in everyone's eyes.
General Zhang, in fact, is also concerned about the Navy's aircraft carrier formation, which was pulled up by Qin Guan. Therefore, how to develop next, of course, we should also listen to Qin Guan's plan.
Qin Guan has said before that the naval riot conference should have amphibious attack ships and more 10000 ton destroyers. However, how to develop the next generation of aircraft carriers is still very general.
Now, facing the old people in the shipbuilding industry, what Qin Guan wants to say is definitely the most detailed plan.
"Now, our warship design institute must have begun to design amphibious attack ships?" Qin Guan said to Director Pan.
In fact, Qin Guan has given the corresponding design data to the Warship Design Institute. Therefore, they only need to digest and absorb and improve to complete the design.
"Yes, it has been completed. When designing, we considered the scheme of carrying our VTOL fighter." director Pan said, "so next, we can start building this amphibious attack ship."
"Amphibious assault ship?" Makarov also heard about this project for the first time, and immediately thought carefully.
"Yes, if we build this kind of warship first, we can take a complete road of manufacturing large warships. After all, it has been repaired all the time." Makarov agreed to this scheme. Amphibious attack ship is a warship lower than aircraft carrier. At the same time, it can exercise the technology of shipyard, which is a step-by-step and qualified scheme.
Xiong Guo also went this way. From helicopter and aircraft carrier to Kiev class, they gradually accumulated experience before they had the later ability. Unfortunately, after the collapse of Xiong Guo, their dream of building warships was broken.
"This amphibious assault ship needs at least tens of thousands of tons, which makes sense."
Hearing his words, Qin Guan smiled: "our plan is 40000 tons."
40000 tons? Makarov's eyes showed a surprised look at Leighton. It was actually 40000 tons. Kiev class was only 40000 tons. If Han country first developed a 40000 ton amphibious attack ship, it would be best to rebuild an aircraft carrier with greater displacement.
In particular, Han has developed a stealth VTOL fighter, which is tailor-made for this amphibious attack ship. Before doing anything, the Han people have done all kinds of preparatory work, which makes people sigh. Look at Xiong Guo. When they were engaged in Kiev class, they began to build Jacques 38. As a result, Jacques 38 did not mature after tossing for so many years. Later, Jacques 38 landed, and Kiev class became a freak who can only carry helicopters.
The preparation of the Han people was really meticulous.
"President Qin, I have an idea." just then, director Pan spoke again.
Director Pan knows more than Makarov. On the one hand, Makarov is devoted to his work and doesn't care about other things at all. On the other hand, Makarov is an outsider after all, so he shouldn't inquire. He never inquires blindly. Now, since we all talk together, Makarov also plays the role of audience more often, After all, he doesn't know many things. Now, the most is to make suggestions after hearing them. Of course, the most is shock.
For example, the 40000 ton amphibious assault ship is enough to shock Makarov. Of course, what is more shocking is in the back.
"What do you think?" Qin Guan asked director Pan.
"Now that we have technical reserves on amphibious attack ships, we will have enough experience when we continue to build the next aircraft carrier. Therefore, I don't think it's necessary for us to rebuild an aircraft carrier with conventional power. We'd better go directly to nuclear power."
When Qin Guan held the meeting at that time, the subsequent construction was intended to start with conventional aircraft carriers and then nuclear power. This seems to be a step-by-step plan. However, there is an obvious deficiency. Such a Navy aircraft carrier has completely become a hodgepodge.
There are the kitten hawk class aircraft carrier transformed from the once midway, the Varyag with conventional power sliding jump take-off, and the aircraft carrier with nuclear power, sliding jump and ejection. The newly built two, one conventional power and one nuclear power, are a hodgepodge.
This will also bring the Navy a lot of trouble in logistics supply. Therefore, director Pan has put forward that we should all go to nuclear power.
Nuclear powered aircraft carriers can use all their space to load the aviation fuel required by carrier based aircraft without consuming fuel, which is very important for maintaining sustained operations.
Looking at Qin Guan's face, director Pan continued: "such a nuclear powered aircraft carrier can also use our newly developed all electric propulsion scheme to cooperate with electromagnetic catapults and electromagnetic blocking landing, so as to become the most leading aircraft carrier."
All electric propulsion?
Hearing what director Pan said, Qin Guan was surprised: "have we made breakthroughs in these technologies?"
Ordinary power systems directly drive the propeller through the transmission shaft, which can be diesel engine, gas turbine or steam turbine. However, in the next era, it is going to enter the scheme of all electric propulsion.
All electric propulsion, that is, the power system is used to produce electric energy, and then it is propelled by electric power. In this way, because the distribution of electric power is the most convenient, it can be comprehensively coordinated. Moreover, more and more electric power is used for the equipment on warships.
Qin Guan said it before, but he didn't pay attention to it after that. After all, it should be 20 or 30 years before this technology is really mature. Now, director Pan says he wants this technology. How can Qin Guan not be surprised.
"Yes, it has broken through," said director Pan "In the 10000 ton drive scheme you put forward to us, we plan to adopt the all electric propulsion scheme. In this way, when the 10000 ton drive is built, the problems found in the sea test are also in the process of building the amphibious landing ship. In this way, when we start building the aircraft carrier, the all electric propulsion has been tested on the 10000 ton drive and is just used on the aircraft carrier."
"All electric propulsion?" Makarov was still murmuring the word. Then, the light of hope suddenly flashed in his eyes: "you already have this technology?"
He was also shocked.
The state of Han has the most advanced technology in this era.
