Chapter 841 The Technical Gap Makes People Desperate

In the spacious office, the white-haired old man ended the topic that his staff suggested restarting the lunar landing plan. In fact, he himself certainly had this idea. He has the capital to let the citizens chat after tea and dinner, but the difficulty and resistance of this plan are too great, and he dare not agree to it easily. If it fails in the end, it will become a joke.

"Okay, let's put this topic aside for a while. Next, let's talk about Huaguo's amphibious carrier Qinhuang. I heard from people in the intelligence department that there seems to be some movement in Huaguo recently. There are signs that they Another ship is being built, which is a sister ship of the same type as the Qinhuang, and someone in the military has submitted a report to me on the construction of a similar ship, saying that we cannot let the East dominate the sea and air!"

Speaking of this, the white-haired old man looked at the staff and the heads of various ministries, and said in a deep voice: "I want to know, if we want to build this kind of amphibious carrier, do we have mature construction technology?"

The first middle-aged man on the left said: "Please ask the science and technology department to answer this question!"

At this time, a bald middle-aged man sitting in the last seat stood up and said: "Boss, gentlemen, I am Steve, a doctor of aerodynamics and electrification dynamics. To make an explanation, according to some data and parameters of the Qinhuang announced by the Eastern Power, its full-load displacement is 72,000 tons, but the volume of this mothership is even larger than our aircraft carrier with the largest displacement. I personally think they The announced full load displacement should refer to the weight of the ship itself, otherwise it would not be that big!"

The white-haired old man frowned: "I don't quite understand what the doctor said, can you make it clearer?"

"Well, to be blunt, I suspect that they used a lot of ultra-light materials. It is very likely that the main materials of this ship are all ultra-light materials, and if it can sail on the sea for a long time If it is not corroded, it means that this material not only has high corrosion resistance, high hardness and flexibility, but also is much lighter in weight than the current mainstream shipbuilding steel!"

"This is just my speculation about the main material of the Qinhuang. Let's talk about its ceiling power. Most people think that it burns aviation fuel to drive eight super-large turbofans, but I don't think so. Some people say that it can carry out missions continuously for three months. How much aviation fuel does it take to lift a mothership with such a large displacement from the sea and fly? According to their current training missions, they simply cannot afford the cost of fuel. Moreover, it performs training missions alone every time, and there is no fuel supply ship behind it, which only means that it has no power to use fuel!"

Someone couldn't help saying: "You don't think its power comes from nuclear power, do you? Can steam power provide such a strong power?"

Steve shook his head: "It shouldn't be the steam power provided by nuclear fuel either!"

"What's the motivation?" someone asked.

Steve said: "I suspect that its eight super-large turbofans are powered by electricity. Using steam power and fuel to provide power requires large parts of equipment. You have also seen its shape, and the two sides are simply impossible. If it fits, it’s impossible to do it in terms of design!”

A big guy immediately questioned: "Impossible, it is absolutely impossible to be powered by electric energy. This is absolutely impossible. Although I am not an expert in this field, I have some understanding. If you want to provide such a huge power, the displacement will be huge. It is impossible to launch a warship of more than 100,000 tons from the sea with the current electric power technology!"

Another big guy also said: "That's right, let's not talk about anything else, if electricity is used to provide power, how to solve the problem of voltage? Yes, Dongfang has supercharging and UHV long-distance power transmission technology that we don't have, but Their DC UHV is only about 800 kV, and their AC UHV is only over 1,000 kV. It is impossible for such UHV power to provide the power to allow a 100,000-ton mothership to take off and land from the sea. of!"

"There is also an insulation problem. When the voltage exceeds 8 kV, the insulating gloves become conductors. At present, the insulation materials and transformer size used in the UHV 1000 kV transformers in Dongfang Country need to use 64 rounds. Have you figured out how much space it would take to haul it in a truck and load it onto the mothership?"

Steve had to admit that what the boss said was reasonable, but he didn't give up his inference, and said, "Yes, I also admit that it seems difficult to use electricity to provide such a strong power to lift the mothership into the air. It is impossible to do, at least judging from the current technology that Dongfang Guo has mastered, it is impossible to make it bigger, but everyone should not forget that they also have Feitian Technology, which has already mastered mature long-distance electric power. Wireless transmission technology, they may also have mastered some other power technology to allow electricity to provide super power!"

The white hair shook his head and raised his hand, "Okay, Dr. Steve, please tell me, are we capable of launching a warship weighing 100,000 tons from the sea? Can it be done technically?"

Steve smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, you are joking. We haven't even mastered UHV technology. How can we use electricity to provide such a powerful power? A science fiction author once described this kind of warship in a novel. At that time, I I think that although it is delusional, it is also a direction for us to work hard, because it has a scientific basis and can be achieved as long as we break through technical problems, but at present, we are far from being able to do it now!"

"In addition, there is the issue of the nuclear power plant. At present, the nuclear power technology of the Eastern Kingdom has surpassed ours. They have installed four reactors on the mothership, while ours only has two, but they have no space to use it. Problem, this shows that they already have the technology to reduce the size of the reactor!"

"There is also the question of the motor. What kind of motor on the Qinhuang can convert electrical energy exceeding UHV into mechanical power? The energy conversion rate of such a motor must exceed our cognition!"

The white-haired old man said in a deep voice: "The intelligence department must do everything possible to obtain the detailed data of the Qinhuang. We must master this strategic weapon, and we cannot be overwhelmed by the Orientals. Now we are in the global The right to speak is being lost little by little, we must stop this from happening, so we also have an amphibious carrier comparable to the Qinhuang, and we will build a few more!"
