Great warships

The Kuznetsov headed north and encountered countless pairs of eyes along the way.

"Hmph, even if that helicopter is flying under the banner of civilian use, it can't be too close. If it dares to get closer than five kilometers away from us, fire on me!" Nikolai looked at a flying helicopter in the distance with his binoculars. Helicopter, with a chill in his tone.

"Our cruiser Frunze also received such treatment when it sailed to the Far East." Yarekin missed the original feeling very much: "Your Excellency Nicholas, this shows that they are afraid of us, this warship The appearance made them scared! Humph, they should be scared, after all, this is our most advanced warship!"

Nicholas nodded: "Yes, of course they have to be afraid of us. Hmm, when will our escorting warships come?"

He was careless, he was still careless. He originally thought that the waterway here was very safe, so Nicholas did not mobilize the escort warships. Who would have thought that there would be people following him along the way, just like paparazzi.

Although the aircraft carrier does not have powerful offensive weapons, there are still many self-defense weapons, especially the AK630 naval guns installed on the sides of the aircraft carrier. If the opponent dares to fly over, Lao Maozi will definitely dare to hit it.

"We should be able to arrive tomorrow." Yarekin said: "At that time, if they dare to get close to us for fifty kilometers, we will be able to lock them!"

While talking, a call came over the radio.

"Shui Mo is calling the Kuznetsov, Shui Mo is calling the Kuznetsov! Our plane is approaching. We are currently three hundred kilometers away. Please be prepared to receive fighters!"

"Kuznetsov received!" Hearing the call in Russian, Yarekin immediately replied: "Our ship is fully prepared, welcome to board!"

"Radar found target!"

"Twelve o'clock direction, 280 kilometers away!"

"The target is approaching!"

The radar constantly refreshed target data. Qin Tao became more and more excited as he listened to these reports. The plane was finally coming, but he didn't know what kind of plane it was.

"Target speed 800!"

Hearing this report, Qin Tao became even more excited. At 800 kilometers per hour, this speed was not something a helicopter could achieve. What was flying over was a jet. Is it a trainer or a fighter jet? It’s true that the navy doesn’t tell itself many things, and neither does Nicholas.

However, the mystery was about to be revealed, so I still had to be patient and just wait.

"The target is fifty kilometers away!"

Qin Tao stood on the porthole of the ship island and looked outside. The twelve o'clock direction was directly ahead and the direction he could see to see what was coming.

"The targets are separated, and here are two planes!" At this moment, the radar soldier reported again, with surprise in his voice.

The flying method of dense formation will never go out of style. If two aircraft are too close, they will be recognized as one target on the radar screen. A four-plane formation may become one. In this way, when the opponent finds out, it may send two aircraft. A fighter plane went to intercept it, but when it arrived, suddenly, one fighter plane turned into four, and now they were suppressed and beaten.

Two bright spots appeared on Qin Tao's retina. The bright spots quickly enlarged and revealed the outline. The fuselage was wide, the air intake was in the belly, and there was a canard in the front. Is this a J-15?

The navy is really interesting. It actually flew in the J-15, or two? The nose droops quite a bit, and the cockpit is very long. This is a two-seater, a training aircraft!

The production volume of the two-seater version of the J-15 is not large.

After all, those who operate carrier-based aircraft are the most experienced pilots. After getting off the two-seat trainer aircraft, they can directly fly the single-seat J-15 for carrier-based aircraft takeoff and landing training. There is almost no need for a two-seat aircraft of the same model. Training aircraft. Later, the types of carrier-based aircraft increased. With the emergence of stealth aircraft, the importance of the J-15 also began to decline. If Qin Tao remembers correctly, there should be only two two-seater J-15s, both of which In the wasteland village base.

Now, both of them have flown in?

This is an unprecedented first time.

The silhouette of the fighter planes became larger and larger, and the planes became more and more clear. One was numbered 46, the other was numbered 48. The two fighter planes roared past everyone's heads.

"We do not have this kind of carrier-based trainer aircraft." Yarekin said: "Our Su-33 trainer aircraft uses a two-seater side-by-side."

The Su-27 fighter jet is very classic, and many modified models have been produced. The two-seater Su-34 is called the Platypus because of its special appearance. This aircraft has a powerful bomb load, making the enemy tremble with fear. At the same time, it also There is a side-by-side two-seater trainer aircraft.

The pilot and the instructor sat side by side. Both sides had the best view and were easy to operate. Landing of a carrier-based aircraft was very dangerous, so Lao Maozi used this method extravagantly.

But Dongfang doesn't have it. It has never been exposed to a parallel two-seater layout, and it can't modify it. It can only use a tandem two-seater instead. Anyway, the tandem two-seater of the Su-27 is also very spacious, and has a strong field of vision from the front and rear.

"It's such an honor to be able to take this kind of plane to inspect Wasteland Village." Nicholas said, "Qin, you come with me too."

I am coming too? Qin Tao was a little curious: "How do I get there?"

"Aren't there two planes coming? One of them must be prepared for you."

Prepare yourself? It seems that my father-in-law is still very capable! Qin Tao secretly sighed in his heart that his father-in-law deliberately distanced himself from him, but in fact he still took good care of himself. He had flown many planes over the years, but he had never flown in a fighter jet, let alone a navy fighter like this. , I’ll have a great time this time.

"Ink call, we will fly around the aircraft carrier twice to determine the appropriate glide path. Please sail at full speed against the wind."

"The aircraft carrier has been received." Yarekin shouted loudly: "Attention, turn to the wind and sail at full speed!"

The wind is still blowing from the north at the sea now, so as long as the course is adjusted slightly, it can be fully turned into the headwind.

The boiler begins to burn at full power, and high-pressure steam is generated from the steam generator, and then flows into the steam turbine through the pipeline. With the support of eight boilers, the four gas turbines work at full speed, and the speed of the aircraft carrier is getting faster and faster.

Twenty-five, twenty-eight, thirty!

Thirty's Day! The Kuznetsov is finally sailing at full speed!

At the time of design, this aircraft carrier was designed to operate at a speed of thirty knots. However, in actual navigation, due to various problems, it almost never sailed at full speed. This time it was repaired and Kuznetzo The Husband was finally able to move forward at its maximum speed. For it, this was simply a miracle!

The boiler is so powerful. Even before the boiler reaches full power, the boiler can still hold on until now. This was something that was simply unimaginable before. This feeling of racing at full speed was something I could only dream about before.

On the deck, there was a strong deck wind, and the staff on every deck were very excited. They were wearing ordinary military uniforms and waiting quietly.

Various vests? That's the American way. Lao Maozi never pays attention to that on his aircraft carrier. Everyone wears the same military uniform and does different jobs.

In the landing area, behind the Fresnel assist landing mirror, stood a landing guide. In fact, he had not flown for a year or two. He could only use his previous experience to guide him, but he found that he was not able to fly at all. No guidance was needed, the plane flew so standard, and every movement was flawless, that all he could say was, very good, not bad, keep it up!

The fighter plane continued to land downwards, as if it was about to hit the aircraft carrier. This operation method is something every carrier-based aircraft pilot needs to master. At this time, on No. 46 in front, the pilot nicknamed Shui Mo was calm and calm, just like the training same time.

Boom!

The landing gear hit the deck of the aircraft carrier. His fighter plane slid forward steadily, then hooked the blocking cable and stopped steadily.

After the operator on the deck removed the blocking rope, he continued to taxi, and then stopped at the forward take-off position. The whole process was done in one go, as if he had done it often.

The two aircraft carriers are so similar. After flying 001, you will feel very friendly on the Kuznetsov.

After everything was done, he turned off the engine and looked aside.

nobody.

The deck crew were busy recovering the second fighter plane. He could only wait for the deck crew to finish their work before they could pick him up. In fact, he came here just to pick up someone. Even if he couldn't get off, it was normal. As for how the person to be picked up comes up, it has nothing to do with him.

The second fighter jet landed with a roar, which was also a success, and then slid to the front take-off position. The whole process was completed in one go, showing the pilot's well-trained training.

"Yarykin, pick up the pilot, have a meal on the aircraft carrier, and then fly away in the afternoon." Nikolai said to Yaregkin.

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately." At this time, Yarekin also discovered the unprofessionalism of the deck staff. Don't you know how to move the ladder and get the people off the plane?

But soon, the report was received.

"Report, we have searched the warehouse and did not find the gangway!" Not found!

Hearing this, Yarekin's face darkened.

This aircraft carrier was renovated. Before the renovation, they themselves had tidied it up. It may have been at that time that the ramp was returned to land, or someone may have sold the ramp directly!

In short, it is definitely not Dongfang's fault. If they had brought the gangway with them when they came, the Dongfang people would have put the gangway in its place and would not have thrown it away.

This is troublesome. There is no gangway. How will Mr. Nicholas get on the plane?

Nicholas's face also turned dark.

"How did you do it? How could you do this?" Nicholas frowned: "Two fighter planes are about to land, but you didn't prepare ladders in advance!"

Both of these aircraft are two-seater, with only the pilot in the front seat. Obviously, the back seat is reserved for passengers. It is very luxurious to use the J-15 trainer model as an air taxi. Now, it is impossible to get on the bus!

"Is there a ladder for work?" Qin Tao asked, "Can I bring the ladder for work?"

An aircraft carrier is so big, there must be maintenance personnel, and there must be ladders. Are there the kind of ladders used by workers?

While he was talking, some deck personnel were already watching the ladder go by. An ordinary ladder would be fine to use, but when the ladder was set up and buckled there, it made people laugh or cry. The top of the ladder could not reach the nose of the aircraft. below!

The Su-27 series aircraft are very tall. The cockpit of this aircraft is also very high. The ramp used is as high as two people. If it is a two-seat model, the ramp in the rear cockpit is even higher! Therefore, the triangular ladder used for ordinary work is simply out of reach!

On the plane, both pilots felt it was funny. This was the first time such a situation had happened. Fortunately, we didn’t need to get down. Let’s see how the passengers came up.

Qin Tao frowned. He had maintained a good figure. If he stepped on this kind of ladder, he should be able to climb to the wing, and then step on the side wing and step onto the rear cockpit. However, there was no problem around him. Nikolai had a big belly and it was not easy for him to sit on it.

what to do? Call a helicopter over with a ramp? That's a lot of trouble.

"Nicholas, if you had agreed on the model of the aircraft in advance, we could temporarily weld two ladders while we were in the shipyard." Qin Tao said, "What should we do now?"

Yeah, what now?

Nicholas secretly thought it was a fluke. Thanks to not getting off the ship island, it would have been even more embarrassing if he had. However, what should we do next?

Nicholas looked at Qin Tao: "Qin, you have many ways, think of one quickly."

"Well, there must be a way. Before departure, our warship should have a lot of supplies on board. Take those supplies out and stack the boxes one by one to form a ladder."

There are still a lot of things on the aircraft carrier, so use these ready-made things to build one!

Nicholas shook his head: "No, this formation is too big and can easily be seen by others."

Five kilometers away, the helicopter was still flying. There must be a telephoto camera over there. If such a scene was filmed, it would be a shame for the Mao Navy.

But what should I do if there are no ready-made ladders? How about letting these two planes go back? This was such a waste, and he really wanted to take a ride on a Dongfang carrier-based aircraft to experience the feeling.

"By the way, do we have a fire truck on the aircraft carrier?"

"Quick, go look below to see if there is a fire truck!"

This time, I found it!

For a huge aircraft carrier, it is not afraid of bombs. Even if a few are exploded, it can continue to float with rough skin and thick flesh. However, it is afraid of the fire after the explosion. If the fire cannot be extinguished, it will probably be doomed.

Even American aircraft carriers have suffered tragedies when they were almost burned by a cigarette butt. Therefore, the fire-extinguishing facilities on the aircraft carrier must be complete.

In addition to various firefighting pipes, fire trucks are also necessary.

Aircraft carriers play with fire. Whether it is fuel for carrier-based aircraft or various missiles and bombs, they are all flammable. Therefore, when the aircraft carrier carries out various carrier-based aircraft operations, fire trucks must be on standby at any time.

The fire trucks used on Dongfang's aircraft carriers are also specially made. They are low in appearance, like a square box, without a cab. Firefighters wearing fire-proof suits are always in place and can be dispatched immediately if danger is encountered.

Lao Maozi's fire truck is much simpler. It just drives the fire truck directly over the land. It not only has a water tank for extinguishing the fire, but also a ladder on the top.

Even during the aircraft carrier's maintenance period, the fire truck was still there. During the return to China, the fire truck was still there, but it was in the lower hangar of the aircraft carrier. Now that it heard the call, it immediately ran to prepare.

After a few minutes of trying, black smoke came out of the fire truck's exhaust pipe, and the engine roared. It was successful, and it started successfully!

Lift the lift and drive onto the deck!

Thanks to this fire truck, otherwise I really don’t know how to get up there! Nicholas relaxed: "Let's go, Qin, let's go to the pilot's preparation room and change into flight suits."

Are you sure we have flight suits here? Qin Tao was a little skeptical, but fortunately, there was a flight suit and a flight helmet. Although it smelled like dampness, it was still there.

Putting on their flight suits and helmets, the two of them disembarked from the ship island and went straight to the front deck.

The fire truck was able to drive between the two planes and set up the fire ladder. Nicholas climbed in first.

"The weather is really nice today." Nicholas greeted the pilot in front.

"Yes, it's good flying weather."

Qin Tao also got on another plane. Watching the canopy slowly close, he was a little worried: "Hey, brother, can my body withstand the overload of afterburner takeoff?"

"If not, I have a plastic bag here." The pilot in front handed over a plastic bag.

In fact, the overload of the ski jump takeoff is not strong. After all, it relies on its own power without the help of the catapult. With the overload of the catapult, it is really strong.

"Mr. Qin, I feel honored to be able to take you off." The pilot continued: "My name is Shui Mo, and Wang Wei is my instructor."

"Do you like to draw ink paintings?"

"Yes, Wang Wei likes oil painting. He painted an oil painting of J-2 fighter jets taking off from an aircraft carrier. I like ink painting. I painted an ink painting of J- fighters taking off from an aircraft carrier. I like simplicity."

Oil painting pays attention to complexity and colorfulness, and any blank space must be filled with oil paint, while ink painting pays attention to simplicity. It is obviously a simple piece of paper, and some lines are drawn on it to form a wonderful picture.

"Today's pilots must have artistic talent." Qin Tao sighed: "No wonder I can't become a pilot."

"Mr. Qin, you are the master. You are playing the art of changing the world." Shui Mo said.

"Thank you for the compliment."

The two fighter planes were ready to take off. The fighter plane carrying Qin Tao took off first. When he released the brakes, Qin Tao felt a huge push on his back, as if he was kicked hard. Like a kick.

However, this feeling is bearable. When driving an electric car, if you press the pedal to the bottom when starting, you will also feel this way.

If it were a catapult, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Nicholas's voice came from the earphones.

"That's great! I love this feeling! Our big fur navy will take off again!"

The two J-15s left the deck of the Kuznetsov. It finally began to fly carrier-based aircraft again. It finally regained its vitality and vitality!
