Chapter 539： data

What are the difficulties in making aircraft carriers?

There are many!

But the most important thing is nothing more than the ups and downs of carrier-based aircraft!

That's right!

The main difficulty of an aircraft carrier is not like power, keel, etc. Although those are also difficult, they are sorted a little bit later than the seemingly inconspicuous things like the ups and downs of carrier-based aircraft!

And why is this the main difficulty when talking about ups and downs?

Because the aircraft carrier itself is a ship, the runway must be much shorter than the normal runway. That is to say, the carrier-based aircraft cannot run fast enough to take off on the aircraft carrier!

As for the consequences of not being able to run at the takeoff speed, it goes without saying that there is no other choice but to fall into the sea!

But if there is a problem, there is a solution!

Therefore, something like the carrier-based aircraft catapult was born!

This kind of thing uses the principle of catapult. The catapult is installed on the aircraft carrier. When the carrier-based aircraft is about to take off, it will be ejected to shorten the runway distance required for take-off, so that the carrier-based aircraft can be used in a short time and within a short distance. Reach the takeoff speed!

looks simple!

But the technical content is very high!

In the world before Arthur's crossing, a country with this kind of technology can count on a palm, which is much rarer than a country with a nuclear bomb!

Also, because the runway is shorter than normal, a normal landing is definitely not possible!

Because of the lack of runway, the speed of the carrier could not be slowed down, so it directly hit the aircraft carrier!

However, there are also solutions to problems!

Therefore, the cable was born!

What's the line to stop the plane?

To put it plainly, it is a rope!

The role of this rope is to hold the carrier aircraft when it is landing, so that its speed will drop, so that it will not hit the aircraft carrier!

This rope is also very difficult to make!

First of all, the weight of the carrier aircraft itself is already very heavy, plus the force added by the speed when landing, so this rope must be able to withstand more than 100 tons of impact!

Well, there are no few countries that can make ropes that can withstand impacts of more than 100 tons!

The problem is that the rope used on the aircraft carrier is not an ordinary rope!

It must be thin!

Because it is placed on the deck, if it is not thin enough, it may affect the normal taxiing of the carrier-based aircraft when landing, resulting in accidents and crashes!

Moreover, not only must it be thin, but also have enough toughness!

After the aircraft is hooked on the tail of the carrier-based aircraft, it must also bend along with the carrier-based aircraft. If there is no toughness and cannot follow the bending, then the tail of the carrier-based aircraft is likely to be torn off directly!

Not only will it not be able to slow down the speed, but it will also cause the carrier-based aircraft to be destroyed!

Therefore, this kind of blocking machine sounds simple, but it is very difficult to make!

Before Arthur crossed, the same country that only had one hand counted can be produced!

The above are just the difficulties caused by the ups and downs, in fact there are many difficulties!

Let's say so!

Before Arthur crossed, there was no country, so you don’t need to use parts from other countries when making aircraft carriers!

Even if it is a domestically-made aircraft carrier, most of its parts and some key parts are made domestically, and a small part of it does not have the technology, and the ones used are foreign ones!

And in that highly technologically advanced world, it is so difficult to make aircraft carriers, not to mention in this pirate world, if you want to truly build an aircraft carrier, it is simply outrageous!

But the strength is not enough, black technology will come together!

St. Martin Gou has been around for so many years, and has acquired a lot of black technology. Isn’t it easy to get a simple aircraft carrier?

Let me talk about the main difficulty, about the ups and downs, it was simply solved here by Arthur!

Because his aircraft carrier is not a carrier-based aircraft!

is a steam mech!

Steam Mecha, soaring in place!

What kind of catapult, what kind of high temperature materials, what kind of cable, they don’t need it at all!

The steam mech takes off against the wind shells on the sky island. There is no problem taking off and landing on the spot, and there is no high temperature, so the deck material naturally does not need to be high temperature resistant!

--------

After Arthur arrived in the valley, he was immediately greeted by a bunch of soldiers on the aircraft carrier.

At this time, hundreds of St. Martin's scientists and workers have gathered on the aircraft carrier!

"See Your Majesty!"

Seeing Arthur's arrival, everyone on the boat respectfully saluted!

"Free gift!"

Arthur waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is the surprise I told you!" After Arthur finished speaking, Meck greeted him with a smile.

Hearing this, Arthur's eyes lit up and said, "Are you saying that the aircraft carrier succeeded? Can it be launched?"

Aircraft carrier has always been one of Saint Martin's projects!

has been researched and developed for a long time, and this ship has been parked here for a long time, but it has always remained in a state of no water, just parked in this valley and sea.

Now, since Meck said so, it means that the ship can enter the water and can be used for real!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Meke said with a smile, "Just now, we have performed the last inspection, and now this aircraft carrier can be officially launched!"

"Great!" After Arthur said in surprise, he asked, "What is the current data of this ship?"

The aircraft carrier has been under construction~www.novelhall.com~ Although Arthur has data from when the aircraft carrier was originally designed, because the subsequent aircraft carriers continue to add new black technologies, the current data is somewhat different from the original one!

Therefore, Arthur does not know the current data!

"Back to your Majesty, the data in general has not changed!" Meike explained in a deep voice, "The displacement is 30,000 tons, the ship length is 270 meters, the ship width is 40 meters, the deck length is 200 meters, and the draft is 8.5 meters."

Compared with the previous aircraft carrier, this aircraft carrier is inferior, but considering the average technology of the world, then this aircraft carrier is indeed not bad!

"In terms of power, I used my newly developed steam engine, the first type of steam pioneer, four, and added the tidal energy researched from the kingdom of Tike, which is a hybrid power!"

The aircraft carrier is very large and heavy, and the power required to drive it is very high, so there is really no way to use hybrid power!

Saint Martin does not have nuclear power, and as for tidal energy, only the fur has been studied. It can only convert 30% of the tidal energy, which is not enough to drive an aircraft carrier. Therefore, only hybrid power can be used to achieve the launch of the aircraft carrier. The power needed!

"As for the speed, it is normally 30 knots (one knot is equal to a speed of about 1.8 kilometers), but we have attached a lot of double wind shells around the ship, so when necessary, we can activate these double winds. Bei, accelerate the aircraft carrier and reach a speed of 100 knots in a short time!"

"..."

Listening to Meck’s introduction, Arthur nodded in satisfaction, and then asked the key question, "So, how many steam mechas can this aircraft carrier carry?"
