Chapter 86
Chapter 86
Listening to Jiang Yuanzhou's idea of a new type of warship read out word by word, Navy Commander Zheng Qingshan was stunned.
The new type of warship depicted by Jiang Yuanzhou has a great attraction for Zheng Qingshan, who has dealt with warships all his life.
Zheng Qingshan originally thought that the solution given by Jiang Guoshi was to change the power system of the existing warship.
As a result, Jiang Guoshi actually waved his hand and directly wanted to build a brand-new warship, which was still a nuclear-powered warship.
Wait a minute!
Zheng Qingshan was just thinking about nuclear-powered warships, and then he remembered the type of prefix of nuclear power that Jiang Yuanzhou said.
Nuclear fusion power?
"Jiang Guoshi, what you just said about nuclear fusion power?"
Zheng Qingshan asked, his tone full of suspicion.
This was a suspicion of his own ears, and Zheng Qingshan suspected that he had misheard.
How else would you hear the word fusion?
Even if it is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the lighthouse country, it is only a fission reactor used.
At present, there is no breakthrough technology for controlled nuclear fusion in the world, so how can nuclear fusion reactors be used on warships?
Among the battleship techniques depicted by Jiang Yuanzhou, Zheng Qingshan has seen several other items.
Laser anti-missile weapons are improved on the basis of laser cannons.
Skylark fighters have already been on the ships of the Navy.
There is only one fusion reactor power core, which is really unimaginable for this old man of the navy.
The nuclear fission reactor on the Nimitz aircraft carrier is Zheng Qingshan's greatest expectation for the power of the warship.
Turning nuclear fusion into the power of a warship, Zheng Qingshan never thought about it.
"That's right, fusion power." Jiang Yuanzhou nodded and said, "There are too many restrictions on fission reactors, and the energy efficiency is also low, so it is better to use nuclear fusion reactors directly." "
Fission reactors need to take into account the radiation of the fuel, the treatment of fission products.
Most importantly, the energy produced by fission reactors cannot be applied directly.
Fission reactors produce thermal energy, which requires the use of steam turbines to convert into electricity, commonly known as boiling water.
The fusion reactor developed by Jiang Yuanzhou is different.
The plasma produced by the nuclear fusion reaction can be directly converted into electricity through a magnetofluid generator.
Conventional nuclear fission reactors generate only 30% of electricity at an efficiency of 30%, and most of the energy is wasted in the form of heat.
The fusion reactor using a ferrofluid generator can achieve a power generation efficiency of more than 90%!
Hearing Jiang Yuanzhou say the words nuclear fusion power lightly, Zheng Qingshan was sure that he had heard it correctly.
Jiang Guoshi is going to put a nuclear fusion reactor on a battleship!
Doesn't that mean that Jiang Guoshi has broken through the technology of controlled nuclear fusion?
Zheng Qingshan is also very aware of the importance of controlled nuclear fusion technology.
It was energy technology that could change the entire history of mankind.
The principle of 520 controllable nuclear fusion has been proposed for a long time, but there is still a long way to go before it can be put into practical use.
Fifty years ago, scientists optimistically predicted that a breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion would take only 50 years.
To this day, however, the expectation for the realization of controlled nuclear fusion technology is still 50 years.
These fifty years are also known as the eternal fifty years.
But this eternal fifty years has been solved by Jiang Guoshi?
Zheng Qingshan silently sighed in his heart.
"I'm really old, and I can't see the direction of development in this era clearly."
After answering Elder Zheng's question, Jiang Yuanzhou asked again.
"Commander Zheng, do you see this new battleship, is the navy interested?"
Hearing this, Zheng Qingshan's eyes released a trace of essence.
"Yes! Jiang Guoshi, what needs to be done by the Navy, just open your mouth, the Dragon Navy will definitely fully support this new warship! "
As he spoke, Zheng Qingshan took a step forward and held Jiang Yuanzhou's hand tightly.
He had a hunch that the hope for the future development of the Dragon Kingdom Navy was right now!
"Okay, then you're welcome." Jiang Yuanzhou said with a smile
If you want to build a warship, you will definitely not be able to rely on Jiang Yuanzhou's own strength
The invitation to Commander Zheng Qingshan was to use the power of the navy to build this nuclear fusion-powered warship.
The technical drawings of this nuclear fusion warship are also comprehended.
When Jiang Yuanzhou put several key technologies together, these technologies were automatically combined in his mind and combined into a nuclear-powered warship.
"By the way, Jiang Guoshi, how much tonnage do you plan to build this new battleship?" Wang Guowei on the side asked.
Hearing this question, Zheng Qingshan also waited curiously for the answer to this question
He was so preoccupied with nuclear power that he forgot about the most important parameters for the battleship.
Tonnage.
Generally speaking, at the same technical level, the greater the tonnage of the battleship, the larger the weapon platform it can carry, and the stronger the combat effectiveness.
"Probably, around 80,000 tons." Jiang Yuanzhou replied
80,000 tons?
Hearing this data, Zheng Qingshan blurted out a question.
"Jiang Guoshi, are you going to build an aircraft carrier?"
The tonnage of nuclear-powered warships will be relatively large, which is expected by Zheng Qingshan.
But he never imagined that it would directly reach the tonnage of 80,000!
You must know that the construction standard of the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier in the lighthouse country is only 60,000 tons.
Jiang Yuanzhou's new 80,000-ton warship, in terms of tonnage, has surpassed the Kitty Hawk class aircraft carrier.
That's why Zheng Qingshan has the illusion that he wants to build a (DAAC) aircraft carrier.
Jiang Yuanzhou shook his head and explained.
"Not an aircraft carrier."
"This new warship must have an electromagnetic main gun, a laser anti-missile system, and it must directly participate in the operation, how can there be such an aircraft carrier?"
"That's right, I'm in a hurry." Zheng Qingshan said
The design concept of the aircraft carrier is a ship-based platform at sea.
The combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier comes from the carrier-based aircraft, and as for the aircraft carrier itself, as a platform, it has no combat effectiveness.
Jiang Guoshi's new warship not only has an electromagnetic main gun, but also a laser anti-missile system, and the battleship itself must participate in the battle.
In terms of functional type, it has almost nothing to do with aircraft carriers, and is more like a destroyer or arsenal ship.
However, this high tonnage of 80,000 tons is really too amazing
Zheng Qingshan thought silently.
In the current era, the tonnage of non-aircraft carrier main battle ships is basically less than 10,000 tons.
In the past, the super battleships that cost tens of thousands of tons at every turn have long been eliminated.
Thinking of the battleship, Zheng Qingshan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
He turned his head and looked out the window at the giant superconducting electromagnetic cannon.
Then Zheng Qingshan imagined the picture of the gentleman's cannon being placed on the battleship.
An 80,000-ton heavy warship, plus a giant electromagnetic cannon
Isn't this a new type of battleship?
A week later, the Tiannan shipyard.
Tiannan Shipyard is the largest of the three major shipyards in the Dragon Kingdom, and it is also the shipyard with the highest technical level.
At this moment, the Tiannan Shipyard as a whole was mobilized.
All shipbuilders and equipment were selected to participate in a new shipbuilding program.
All shipbuilding orders from shipyards to external parties have been suspended.
All the shipbuilding resources are poured into one battleship
To build an 80,000-ton warship, the first thing needed was a construction workshop that could accommodate such a huge ship.
On the high platform of the wharf of the construction workshop, the commander of the navy, Zheng Qingshan, spoke.
"Jiang Guoshi, the personnel of Dasheng and Beichuan will arrive in two days, and the equipment will come with them."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanzhou nodded and said
"Good work, Commander Zheng."
To build this new warship, the capacity of the Tiannan shipyard is not insufficient, but the construction period may be measured in years.
In order to speed up the construction, the resources of the other two major shipyards have also been mobilized to support the shipbuilding plan of Tiannan Shipyard.
The best shipbuilding resources in the whole Dragon Country are concentrated in Tiannan Shipyard at the moment, just for Jiang Yuanzhou's shipbuilding plan.
Commander Zheng did not break his promise, and the Dragon Navy really gave its full support.
"By the way, Jiang Guoshi, how much does this battleship cost, you give me a thorough understanding first, so that I can have a number in my heart."
Commander Zheng Qingshan asked.
At the beginning, he promised to give full support to the construction of ships, and the navy naturally had to cover all the expenses.
But what Zheng Qingshan is afraid of is that if the military funds that the navy can use are spent, it will only be able to build this battleship, and then it will be a big problem.
Zheng Qingshan definitely didn't want to see the first nuclear-powered warship of the Dragon Kingdom run aground due to lack of funds.
After calculating in his heart, Jiang Yuanzhou replied.
"With the weapon system, the total will be about 10 billion yuan." (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!) )
Billion?
Hearing Jiang Yuanzhou's request for funds, Zheng Qingshan's heart tightened, and he began to silently calculate the funds that the navy could mobilize.
The total funding for the Navy this year is 15 billion.
Of this 15 billion, 4 billion are used to buy Modern-class missile destroyers with hairy bears.
For the Hyundai-class missile destroyer, the asking price on the Mao Bear side is 500 million US dollars, which is 4 billion yuan in RMB. []
At the beginning, the Dragon Kingdom ordered a total of four modern-class destroyers from the Mao Bear Country, with a total value of 16 billion.
This year's four billion is an installment of 16 billion.
Thinking of the four billion to give to the woolly bear, Zheng Qingshan felt a pain in his flesh.
There is no way to buy a modern-class destroyer.
Among the dozens of ships of the Dragon Navy, large and small, there is not even one that can meet the standards of the modern class.
That's why we can only import modern-class warships from Mao Xiong to supplement the vacancy of high-end combat power.
Looking at the workers in the workshop who were busy for the new battleship, Zheng Qingshan made a decision.
"Jiang Guoshi, I plan to cancel the Hyundai-class order on Mao Xiong's side and transfer the money to the new warship."
"You can rest assured that even if the navy is frugal, it will ensure the smooth completion of this battleship."
Zheng Qingshan said in an extremely serious tone.
Hearing Zheng Qingshan's words, Jiang Yuanzhou found that he seemed to have misunderstood something, so he spoke.
"There is no need to cut back on food and clothing, the daily training of the officers and men of the Navy is already very hard, and it is still necessary to give priority to ensuring his life."
"I already have the funds to build this battleship."
"Jiang Guoshi, you already have funds?" Zheng Qingshan asked with some surprise.
10 billion is not a small amount, the total annual military expenditure of the navy is only 15 billion, where did Jiang Guoshi get this 10 billion?
Seeing Zheng Qingshan's question, Jiang Yuanzhou said.
"Just a few days ago, the three billion dollars of the oil countries have already arrived, so there is no need to worry about the funding."
"Take less? Three billion dollars? "
Zheng Qingshan said in a surprised tone.
Three billion dollars, that is, 25 billion yuan, is almost equal to the military spending of the Navy for two years.
"Yes, we sold ten larks to the oil country, which adds up to three billion dollars." Jiang Yuanzhou explained.
Ten larks, three billion dollars.
Zheng Qingshan suddenly felt that his concept of money began to be a little vague.
It turns out that the Skylark fighter is so valuable?
That is, the ten larks that the Navy got before were actually three billion dollars.
Zheng Qingshan suddenly felt a little happy in his heart.
Fortunately, the Skylark fighter was developed by Jiang Guoshi, and the ten Skylarks of the Navy did not pay for it.
Otherwise, the Dragon Navy will not be able to afford a single fighter of 300 million US dollars.
The problem of funding was solved, and all that remained was to start construction and build ships.
Jiang Yuanzhou didn't forget that incident and said.
"Commander Zheng, although you don't have to worry about the funding, the modern-class destroyers that you ordered with Mao Xiong should be returned."
The four Hyundai-class ships combined, also have $2 billion.
With 80,000 tons of nuclear-powered warships, there is naturally no longer a need for modern-class missile destroyers with hairy bears.
There is no shortage of funds, but there is no waste of money.
"Okay, I'll return the list when I go back and try to recover the loss." Zheng Qingshan said.
A temporary chargeback may result in some liquidated damages, but it's better than spending $2 billion to buy four obsolete warships.
"Okay."
Jiang Yuanzhou nodded, and then he set his eyes on the busy shipbuilding workshop, thinking about it in his mind.
The first batch of Skylark fighters sold a total of ten of them, earning three billion dollars.
Of these three billion dollars, a small half of the cost was spent to build this nuclear-powered warship.
Originally, Jiang Yuanzhou's idea was that the money from the arms sales of Skylark fighters would be used to subsidize the nuclear fusion power generation project, but now it is not possible for the time being.
The remaining billion dollars are not enough to build a fraction of the fusion power generation network.
However, Jiang Yuanzhou was not worried.
This $3 billion order is just the beginning.
The combat power and value of the Skylark fighter are there, as long as the world sees the super combat power of the Skylark, it will naturally not worry about sales.
According to the intelligence gathered by the Security Service, the conflict in the desert area is gradually escalating.
All countries in the desert region may be involved in this conflict, including the oil countries that have just bought Skylark fighters.
And this is also the best stage for the Skylark fighter to show the world!
Desert areas.
In the royal palace of the oil country.
A conference involving all the desert nations is taking place.
Except, of course, for the nations of Judah ants.
"Guys, just yesterday, the Ant Nation launched a small airstrike, destroying a neighborhood in Gasha."
"There was even a bomb that fell on the territory of my pharaoh's country."
"In order to protect the civilians of Gasha, I, the Pharaoh, have decided to declare war on the Ant Nations!"
"Revenge on those Jews!"
The representative of the Pharaoh said impassionedly.
The revenge he spoke of was not just because of a bomb.
The enmity between the Pharaohs and the Ant Nations has long been settled, and after several desert wars, the two countries have long been endless.
Now that the ant nations are bombing Gasha, it's time for revenge!
"The Pharaohs have declared war, and we cannot be left behind, and Syria has declared war."
"The country of Ike joins in."
After a while, the nations of the desert responded to the call of the Pharaohs.
They are all members of the Pan-Arab League, and according to the regulations, if one country declares war, the others must join.
The declaration of war was soon unified, and everyone unanimously decided to fight.
So here's the problem.
How to fight?
Who's going to fight?
"According to the intelligence, tomorrow the ant league will launch another air raid, and this air raid will be on a larger scale."
"In order to protect Gasha, I propose to intercept this air strike."
This was stated by the representative of the pharaohs.
Hearing this, the conference room, which was still excited just now, instantly quieted down.
The bombers of the ant countries, there will definitely be escort formations.
To intercept an air attack, it is natural to dispatch fighters.
The combat power of the air force of the ant countries is a sideways existence in the entire desert area.
After all, it was the air force that was personally trained and cultivated by the Blue Star Overlord Lighthouse Country.
When it comes to the air forces of the ant countries, all countries have some psychological shadows.
The reaction of the representatives of various countries was also expected by the representatives of the pharaonic state.
As the big brother in the Arab League, said the representative of the pharaohs.
"The ant nations are our common enemies, everyone has fighters for fighters, pilots for pilots, money for powerful efforts, can you still be afraid of those Titans?"
When it came to paying the money, the representatives of the Pharaonic countries also took a special look at the oil countries.
After all, if you have money, who can compare to the oil country?
Although the oil country air force is not good, and there are few pilots, they are willing to pay.
Just as the representative of the Pharaoh Kingdom thought so, Prince Iqbal, the representative of the oil country, spoke.
"This anti-air raid operation will be fully taken over by our oil country."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes in the conference room instantly focused on Iqbal.
They all share a common idea.
This group of local tyrants in the oil country, they are crazy??。
