Chapter 1177 Huge Attack-11 Formation

05, April 8.

Woohoo! As the whistle blew, the huge 003 aircraft carrier left the port and began its first training after entering service.

In the nearby military port, the escorting destroyers also set sail one after another, and the port became lively again.

At the nearby aviation base, pilots were also ready.

Young J-20 pilot Zhang Yuxuan carried a red luggage bag in his hand and walked to the hangar with his companion Chen Yunyu.

"They set off first, and we will arrive soon." Zhang Yuxuan said: "I just don't know if we can equip the aircraft carrier with the remaining fighter jets, and we don't know when our new partners will come."

"Yes, the aircraft carrier is ready, and the carrier-based aircraft should also be equipped."

The two talked as they walked, and soon walked to the tarmac, and then began to hand over to the ground crew.

"Comrade pilot, the preparations for the No. 083 fighter jet are complete!" the maintenance staff said while taking the luggage bag held by Zhang Yuxuan.

Henry Zhang circled the plane, then took the folder, signed it, and climbed into the cockpit.

The flight attendant followed, climbed into the cockpit, and asked, "Is the luggage bag still in the back?"

"No." Zhang Yuxuan said: "Did you see it? Under my dashboard, aren't there two good spaces on the left and right? You can put toiletries on the left and suitcases on the right. By the way, I can also put a bag on the left. There is an on-board refrigerator, so I can drink beer while flying. I have a coat hook on the side, but I can’t hang my luggage, only my hat. If I hang my luggage, I’m sure I’ll get yelled at. Please don’t hang your luggage on my coat and hat. On the shelf..."

The maintenance staff chuckled: "Comrade pilot, you really know how to joke. The space below is for your feet, and below is the rudder. You can't hang it on the side. You usually put it on the back."

"Then why are you asking? Where can I put it if not in the back? The bomb bay is really a good place..."

The flight attendant said nothing and quickly put the red luggage bag in the back.

Pilots also need to carry personal luggage. After all, after getting off the aircraft carrier, they go to the ground base and train here all the time. They will not return to the aircraft carrier until the aircraft carrier goes to sea. What about the luggage? Send it in advance or carry it directly?

Many people like to carry it directly to save the trouble. After getting off the plane, they can just carry the bag directly into their residence.

But how to carry luggage on the plane?

That is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers.

Some fighter jets have luggage compartments, such as the Xiaolong and F-18. You can just put it in. If there is a two-seat fighter jet that only flies one person, just put it in the rear cabin. As for single-seat aircraft, if there is space behind the seat, If so, it can also be stuffed in the back.

The pilots of the J-10 like to throw their luggage in the back. There is a lot of space in that place, and a bedding can be put there. The J-20 is almost the same as the J-10. There is nearly one meter of space behind the ejection seat. This is for It provides the pilot with omnidirectional vision, and the canopy is additionally extended. This space is useless and luggage can be stuffed in.

There are also some who have no space, so they look for pods, which look like bombs or auxiliary fuel tanks. In fact, they are empty inside and are used for stuffing luggage.

Zhang Yuxuan was ready to fly. He watched the bubble canopy cover above his head slowly lower and cover it. Then he looked to the side. His companion Chen Yunyu was also ready to fly.

Next, another few months of life at sea will begin!

Fighter planes took off one after another, and the whole base became lively, but after that, the base would become quiet again. As for the maintenance personnel, those who needed to board the aircraft carrier also walked neatly towards the Z-20 and the carrier-based fixed-wing transport aircraft. It's not enough, maybe we need to go a few more times.

Those who cannot board the aircraft carrier will stay at the base and wait for the next return of the carrier-based aircraft unit.

The J-20 began to slide onto the runway and take off, and a new round of missions began again!

When they saw the aircraft carrier, it was already half an hour later. Looking at the aircraft carrier in the distance, Zhang Yuxuan's heart was racing. As a carrier-based aircraft pilot, flying a fighter plane to intercept the landing was the most exciting.

He was waiting in line to land.

On the aircraft carrier, Wang Wei was commanding calmly.

"Attention, keep sailing at full speed!"

"The nuclear reactor is operating at full power and the speed has reached 32 knots."

"During the trial voyage, we did not reach this speed."

"That's right, they were all pushed by carrier-based aircraft."

Excited chatter came from the bridge.

Wang Wei is also excited, this is the benefit of all-electric propulsion! Don’t be afraid if you take bigger steps, you will see new miracles!

Without turning on the auxiliary engines, the nuclear reactor alone can only propel the aircraft carrier to 30 knots at most. After all, there is still a lot of equipment on the aircraft carrier that requires power. But now as the carrier-based aircraft land, the electromagnetic arresting system continues to Energy is obtained during work. Since there is no need to take off the carrier-based aircraft, the electric energy is input into the drive motor at the tail through the integrated power system of the entire ship. As a result, the aircraft carrier continues to accelerate! The carrier-based aircraft continued to land, and the aircraft carrier's power became more and more powerful. In this way, it reached 32 knots.

For a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, this kind of speed is extremely rare. This is entirely caused by the landing of the carrier-based aircraft. Every time it lands, it is a blood shot. Wang Wei is also extremely emotional.

"Pay attention to the load condition of the propulsion motor. If overload is found, reduce the input power immediately!"

Although it's great to ride like this, you have to be careful. If the drive motor is burned, he will have to go to a military court.

"The drive motor is working normally. If overload occurs, it will automatically slow down."

The system developed by Golden Sun Motor Company is very advanced and even intelligent!

Wang Wei was very emotional when he heard what his men said, but he couldn't be careless.

Carrier-based aircraft landed one after another. Some were towed to the parking area on the deck, and some were lowered below via elevators. However, the speed of the elevator was not as fast as the landing speed, so soon, the deck was piled up. A large number of carrier-based aircraft, especially the bow.

This is the benefit of the catapult aircraft carrier! If the bow of the ship is a jump deck, no fighter planes can be placed, and it must be left free for take-off. But now, as long as the catapults on the angled deck are reserved, the bow deck can be completely filled. This time we go to sea , is also a test of the aircraft carrier’s maximum recovery capability.

The two J-20s landed one after another and were pulled under the ship island. After being fixed, Zhang Yuxuan and Chen Yunyu came down, carrying their handbags.

"Come on, let's go back to the cabin and pack up."

The two are good brothers. They entered aviation school together, became J-003 pilots together, served on the aircraft carrier together, and now live in the same dormitory.

"Okay, I have chocolate in this bag. Let's have one piece each... Hey, what is that?"

The two planes of the two people were already the last fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft to land. It was supposed that the carrier-based helicopter would be next. However, some black things appeared in the distance. These things were like spears. The shape is coming here quickly.

"It looks similar to B2, but this size...its attack is -11!"

The two of them wanted to watch again, but someone in a white vest was already commanding: "Both of you, go to the ship island immediately!"

There are strict management regulations on the aircraft carrier. There are thousands of people on board. If they want to move around casually, they must not mess up. Many people have worked on the aircraft carrier for their whole lives and have never been on the deck or seen the takeoff and landing of carrier-based aircraft. People working on the deck look majestic, such as the yellow vests who direct carrier-based aircraft to take off. In fact, working on the deck is full of dangers, and you must be careful.

Even the pilot cannot stay on the deck if he has no mission.

"Okay, let's enter the ship island." Zhang Yuxuan said: "Let's go to the drone control room and have a look." Since it has been determined that it is the Attack-11, it is a drone. These drones do not have pilots and all rely on unmanned aerial vehicles. The aircraft control room is responsible for command, or supervision. After all, drones can fly autonomously.

The 003 aircraft carrier is already a mature model. The specific manifestation is that its drone control room has been further expanded. The internal area is almost as large as the aviation bridge. There are twenty control stations in the spacious drone control room. Of course, this does not mean that the aircraft carrier can only operate twenty drones. After all, each console has the ability to operate four drones at the same time. In other words, this aircraft carrier can operate up to eighty drones. carrying drones.

If that time really comes, it will almost mean that carrier-based aircraft pilots will be unemployed.

When the two came here, through the glass at the door, they saw that all the twenty consoles inside were full of people, including male soldiers and female soldiers with short ear-length hair. These people were sitting calmly. From his position, he looked at the display screen in front of him in an orderly manner. There was a keyboard and mouse under the display screen, and at the same time, there were two joysticks, which were the control handles of the drone.

The large screen on the wall displayed images of drones. The two of them looked over and were immediately shocked by the densely packed images.

"I'm afraid there must be twenty of them?"

After Zhang Yuxuan said these words, he realized that he should not speak, because the people inside noticed his words, and immediately a female soldier with short ears and short hair stood up and walked to the door.

"Comrade pilots, please go back to your dormitories and do not interfere with our work."

The two were wearing flight suits, carrying a flight helmet in one hand and a red luggage bag in the other. They looked like pilots who had just boarded the ship.

"Well, we are pilots, and you are also pilots. Can you let us go in and have a look?"

"No, our drone is about to land. Please don't interfere with our operation. If something happens to the drone, you won't be able to afford compensation with your salary."

"You! You little girl, just wait!"

Zhang Yuxuan left these words, and he and Chen Yunyu left angrily. Humph, what's so great? Next, there will definitely be cooperation and meetings. When the time comes, let's see how he can stumble her!

However, this girl has quite a personality, and her appearance is my type...

The G-11 kept landing. Although there was no pilot driving it, it seemed as if it had grown a pair of eyes. The glide line was very smooth. It was simply a five-point landing that could only be achieved by the best pilots.

In the landing guidance area, the landing guidance officer watched the drone land and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that our pilots will really be eliminated in the future!"

"That's not true. The flight control of this kind of drone can be completely transplanted to our manned fighter jets. In the future, our pilots will be more relaxed. Even if they don't know how to land a carrier-based aircraft, they can also land automatically. Isn't this good? ?"

"Of course it's not good, so what do you need the pilot to do? Without the pilot, and no longer being influenced by the limits of the body, the performance of the aircraft will be stronger."

Because of the presence of pilots, the overload of fighter aircraft is limited to 9G. If this trend continues, pilots will soon be removed. By then, aircraft with overloads of 20G or even 30G will emerge one after another. At that time, what else will pilots have? significance?

The G-11's wheel gently landed on the deck and accurately hooked the second blocking rope. The landing was perfect!

When the blocking cable was reset, a man in a yellow vest on the deck came over. There were two big characters printed on his back: Luck. There was a special watch-like thing on his wrist, and his hands made various movements. This gesture was practiced repeatedly, and the plane moved according to his command.

On the deck, the person in charge of driving the tractor finally stopped and opened his eyes wide as he watched the yellow vest directing the drone dispatch.

Since the emergence of aircraft carriers in the East, these tractors have been the busiest vehicles on the aircraft carrier deck. They come and go, often passing under the wings of carrier-based aircraft and dragging fighter planes to the corresponding position.

As for the aircraft in front of us, even if no one is flying, no one is needed for dispatching on the deck!

"Its engine has stalled. How was it dispatched?" a tractor driver couldn't help but ask.

"There must be a hub motor installed in the wheel. It doesn't have to be too powerful, as long as it can move."

As he spoke, the drone had adjusted to the corresponding position and then began to move backwards.

If you don’t plan to use a deck tractor to operate a carrier-based aircraft, and only rely on the drone’s own power to move on the deck, then it must not only be able to move forward, but also be able to move backward. After all, many aircraft have their tails pointed towards the deck. The outer one allows you to slide directly to the take-off position.

If you only rely on the power of the jet engine itself, it is easy to slide forward, but it is impossible to go backwards.

Therefore, motor drive is a must. Over the years, Dongfang has been the strongest in motor drive technology. Motor drive can be used wherever needed, whether it is a three-wheeled vehicle for delivering express delivery or an expensive drone. Human-machine three-wheeler.

The first drone is parked, and the second drone continues. However, the two are placed in exactly the opposite way. One is placed upright and the other is placed upside down. This way, the triangular fuselage structure can be used crosswise. Even if the wings are not folded, it will not occupy too much deck area.

Drones continued to land and were placed on the deck. Some, after a few fiddling, landed on the elevator and then lowered to the hangar below.

The whole process is orderly, because the drone has the ability to move autonomously, so it is easier and faster to dock.

Everyone on the aircraft carrier was excited. Unexpectedly, there were so many G-11s!

Compared with the previous 002 aircraft carrier, the biggest change of their 003 aircraft carrier is not only nuclear power, but also the ability to operate a large number of drones!

Since the 003 aircraft carrier went to sea, it has become the object of many people's attention. In space, two or three satellites flew by one after another, constantly filming the scene of the 003 aircraft carrier's first voyage. It is then transmitted to the ground via satellite.

On the screen, countless people looked at all this in surprise.

From space, you can better see the G-11. The layout of the air intake on the back of the aircraft and the lack of a cockpit. This is a drone!

This aircraft can easily land on the aircraft carrier without human operation, which shows that Dongfang's automatic landing technology has been completely mature, and there are so many drones! This shows that Dongfang is no longer testing drones, but can already equip such drones in large quantities!

The United States is the country with the most extensive use of aircraft carriers in the world. It used to be the most advanced, but now it is completely outdated!

Their electromagnetic ejection and arrested landing are not yet mature, and their drones are still being tested, and Dongfang Duji has begun to use them in large quantities!

"According to our video analysis, the speed of their aircraft carrier has reached 32 knots." The intelligence personnel continued to analyze: "The Oriental's aircraft carrier nuclear power system is too powerful!"

How to measure speed? There are many probes dedicated to measuring speed on the highway. In fact, with the advancement of technology, it is becoming easier and easier to measure speed. As long as there is a camera for capturing, the speed of the vehicle can also be determined, and the speed of the vehicle can be determined by taking two pictures before and after. Take a photo, calculate the time and distance, and the speed will come out.

Now if you want to know the speed of the aircraft carrier, you can naturally do this. Just find two photos.

The information was sent to the relevant units. Looking at the pictures, everyone present had ugly expressions.

"Are these drones what we will face in the future?" One person shouted: "Swift, Swift!"

No one answered him. At this time, he remembered that Swift had retired and no longer had to face such a complicated situation. What should they do?

"The East has heavy carrier-based aircraft and carrier-based unmanned attack aircraft. No matter what they do in the future, they will be able to do it with ease. Our navy has no weapon that can compete with them." Another person spoke. .

What do they have? Nothing at all!

The heavy-duty carrier-based Tomcat has been retired, leaving only the Super Hornet. This ugly big bug has been despised by countless naval pilots. It has no stealth capabilities, no interception capabilities, and is slow in everything it does.

What about the stealth machine? Even if there is one, it will take several years before it can be put on the ship. Even if it is put on the ship, it is still a medium-sized aircraft. They do not have a heavy-duty stealth aircraft, let alone a stealth unmanned attack aircraft.

"This kind of aircraft looks very similar to our B2. You said, since the Orientals have already built this kind of drone, are there any projects similar to the B2?" Someone else raised this question.

"If they have bombers similar to the B2, they will be our biggest opponent!"

"No, it's already the case!"
