This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 228 Intelligent Robot?
If you want to say that the strongest destroyer in the world, you have to look at the starry 055 and the Arleigh Burke of the Free Federation.

In the aircraft carrier battle group, the Type 055 destroyer undertakes formation air defense, anti-ship, anti-submarine and land attack missions.

The combat system of the Type 055 destroyer has relatively advanced electronic weapons and equipment. According to the positioning of the combat mission of the Type 055 destroyer, it adopts a top-level design and a layer-by-layer decomposition method to optimize the rationality and integration of the structure and integrate command and control.

Realize the complete sharing of standard information and general benchmarks, miniaturization, generalization, integration, and standardization of equipment.

Under the condition of highly integrated radar, electronic countermeasures and communication antennas, the layout of electronic equipment on the deck will be very concise, and the open general interface display and control cabinet will bring convenience to the follow-up upgrade work.

In terms of operational procedures, the command hierarchy is simplified, combat positions are reduced, and the workload of operators is reduced.

Arleigh Burke's status is also very high, and his functions are also very powerful. If he has not actually played, there is no way to tell the winner. He can only play "Fighting Beast Chess" to show the data.

But in terms of the sharp shape and regularity of the hull, the 055 is definitely better.

Moreover, the first batch of 8 055 large drives are not the ultimate version, they did not use the integrated power system, and did not install the upgrade kit.

The power system of a traditional destroyer generally arranges the heat engine, transmission system and propeller in a straight line, and the power generation system is relatively independent as the auxiliary energy source of the warship.

With the passage of time, the navies of various countries have increased the requirements for the maneuverability of warships, and the integrated power system of ships has become a new development direction.

For example, the Saxon Type 45 destroyer is the first warship in the world to adopt an integrated power system.

But the first type... also often means that the technology is not so mature.

Speaking of the Type 45 destroyer, military fans in the stars gave it a nickname, called "top ball-class destroyer".

The reason is the towering radar tower on the appearance of the Type 45 destroyer and the spherical radar on it, just like a ball.

This design is mainly to take into account the curvature of the earth and increase the detection area by increasing the height of the radar. The same operation was also performed on the Fuso-class battleship of the old Izumo Imperial Navy in the last World War, which was the famous "illegal building".

However, compared to the overall ship, the center of gravity of the Type 45 is mainly at the bottom of the ship, and the top ball radar is not that heavy, so there is no need to worry about the center of gravity.

It's just that its power issue needs to be worried.

Due to technical problems, the first batch of 6 Type 45 destroyers often lay down, and because of... economic problems, there may only be the first batch of 6 ships.

The destroyer had problems with its power and propulsion systems, and several reports in recent years have detailed that when the Type 45 was deployed to hot regions, failures in the propulsion system would take the ship out of power.

In fact, the root cause of the failure of its power system is the unreliable performance of the intercooler used by the WR-21 gas turbine in the propulsion system. The Saxons don’t need to blame this, because the intercooler is... Free Federation Northrop Gru Manufactured by Man.

The direct manifestation is that the performance of WR-21 gas turbines will experience "catastrophic degradation" under high temperature conditions. The power supply failure of the whole ship and so on.

Their solution to this was to cut open the hull and plug another diesel engine into the boat.

It is also worth mentioning that the time the Type 45 destroyer spent lying in the port compared with the time it took to perform missions at sea reached a ratio of four to one. Now it is about to become a tasteless ship that is tasteless and a pity to discard.

There was even a period of time when all six Type 6 ships were in different stages of maintenance or upgrading and could not sail.

So some congressmen said: "We need new warships."

Then he was retorted: "You pay for it!"

However, the integrated power system does represent advanced, and the type 45 is only a Saxon.

So since then, Horizon-class destroyers and Zumwalt-class destroyers have appeared one after another, and even Queen Elizabeth-class and Ford-class aircraft carriers have used this technology one after another.

It's just that the role of the integrated power system is still not reflected, but failures often occur, causing the entire ship to lose power due to power outages.

Of course, the emergence of more and more ships using this technology also means that this technology is rapidly maturing.

The so-called integrated power system means that all the prime mover heat engines of the warship are used for power generation, and all the power consumption of the entire ship is controlled and transmitted by the same power grid.

After adopting the integrated power system, the power transmission of the ship is changed from the original transmission shaft to the cable, which saves a lot of mechanical devices such as gear box and shafting, greatly simplifies the space, and is conducive to the modular construction of the ship.

The noise level is greatly reduced due to the avoidance of mechanical connections.

Compared with the previous mechanical control, the propulsion motor can realize stepless speed regulation in the full speed range, which improves the maneuverability and flexibility of the warship.

055 is a redesigned new ship with a clean and simple appearance, especially the chamfer of the bow is like a sharp knife, which is very sharp, so it is called the "Blade Sea" class destroyer abroad.

它有12500吨的船体、4台28MW的QC280、12MW的发电功率，各种设备也达到了国际先进水平。

Once all-electric propulsion is used, the space occupied by the shafting will be greatly reduced.

In this way, the 055 hull can arrange weapons more conveniently. This is the layout that was prepared at the beginning of its design, which is very convenient for later modification and upgrading.

Moreover, due to the cancellation of the mechanical transmission, the quietness of the 055 will be greatly improved, which will help improve the anti-submarine combat capability of the warship.

In addition, the biggest advantage of the integrated power system is that it provides support for the electromagnetic gun on board.

Unlike traditional chemical energy artillery, which uses gunpowder gas to act on shells, electromagnetic guns use the magnetic field generated by strong currents to accelerate shells.

As long as the electric energy is sufficient, the range and kinetic energy of the electromagnetic gun will reach a level that is difficult to match with traditional artillery.

As early as more than ten years ago, the Freedom Federation had successfully developed an electromagnetic gun, and in actual firing, the projectile was fired at a speed five times the speed of sound, with a range of 5 kilometers.

Then they showed this "sci-fi" weapon in a sci-fi movie, killing a super huge transforming robot in one shot.

In reality, it is also believed to be equipped on the federal new generation battleship DDG1000 destroyer, also known as the Zumwalt-class destroyer.

It's just that due to technical and financial problems, the Federation's electromagnetic guns did not appear on Zumwalt as scheduled, and even the Zumwalt-class destroyers that planned to build dozens of ships were built and stopped.

However, it is an indisputable fact that large warships can become the most suitable electromagnetic gun combat platform.

A few years ago, the Fanxing Navy installed a prototype electromagnetic gun on a Type 072 landing ship for various tests.

Although Fanxing's electromagnetic gun project started later than the Federation, thanks to Fanxing's breakthroughs in superconductors and energy storage devices, and a strong man in related fields, Fanxing's electromagnetic gun is actually ahead of the Federation in terms of practicality.

The electromagnetic gun is a huge electric tiger, not only requires a large amount, but also has a high instantaneous peak value, so it needs a huge amount of power support from the platform. Traditional warships separate the power system from the power generation system, which cannot meet the power requirements for high-energy weapons on board. need.

Only an integrated power system can ensure sufficient power supply and reasonably allocate the power demand for ship propulsion and high-energy weapons.

Originally, all of this was progressing steadily, but the birth of Li Future directly made the upgrade plan of 055 Great Drive ahead of schedule.

It has been accelerated since last year and all the ideas have been installed.

Including laser air defense systems that also require power support.

When it was known that the Freedom Federation was going to hold a large-scale exercise again, the first upgraded 055 had reached the final stage. Since the Freedom Federation wanted to play, Fanxing would give it a big one.

At that time, the ultimate version of 055 will definitely shock the world with its extremely violent side!
At this moment, the rabbit seemed to come out of the shadows, and its eyes were red!

………………

May passed, world peace.

The Federation of Freedom has completely focused on the Pacific Rim region, and there are much fewer disputes in the world.

Of course, this is not the "source of turmoil" that the conscience of the Free Federation has discovered. The main reason is that the expenditure of the Free Federation has soared, but its income has not increased.

Especially after multiple fields were decoupled from Fanxing, its revenue began to shrink.

Since open source is not possible, we can only save money, so a lot of funds for doing things outside are gone.

After all, if you can't handle the stars, it's useless to do more things in other places.

It can be said that the stars attracted the firepower of "the whole world", and then brought peace to the whole world.

Yes, stars.

Another powerful enemy of the Freedom Federation - Lucia, its current situation is a bit embarrassing.

As far as the army and air force are concerned, Lucia still has something to look at. After all, she is one of the five permanent speakers of the International Parliament, but the navy is... almost meaningless.

And this joint exercise is a maritime exercise, and the number of aircraft carrier formations has reached 10.

Among them, there are 3 branches of the Free Federation, and 1 branch each for Gaul, Saxon, Maurya, Yidali, Izumo, South Koryo and Kangaroo.

Even if the last three are "aircraft carriers" modified from helicopter carriers and amphibious assault ships, the name of the carrier is still displayed.

But Lucia is more embarrassed, because its only aircraft carrier is lying down.

It has a lot of warships, and nuclear submarines are even more powerful, but now it is not a real war, it is an exercise, and it is a propaganda of force, so it needs giant ships to support the scene!

Nuclear submarines are powerful, but unless you can stand them on the sea, a huge aircraft carrier full of aircraft is more interesting.

As one of the permanent speakers, Lucia couldn't even get an aircraft carrier out at this time, so she was too embarrassed to watch this joint naval exercise.

And Lucia's economy is too bad. Although it looks fierce, the Freedom Federation has already seen through it. In terms of threat, it is still the starry republic that seems to be slowing down.

The world is like this, some people are busy fighting for power, while others are busy looking up at the stars.

Throughout May, Practical Technology successfully completed three flight tests of the Wooden Kite aerospace plane.

All three test flights carried experimental dummies and measured a large amount of data, which fully demonstrated the advantages of the aerospace aircraft.

Whether it is uplink or downlink, its vibration frequency is very small, and the G force felt by the occupants is also small, which is very friendly to ordinary people who lack training time or even have little training.

As long as they are not particularly frail and sick, an 80-year-old man can really take a space plane to go around in space. If he looks at the place where he has lived for 80 years in space orbit, he will definitely have a lot of insights.

This is definitely good news for ordinary people, but Practical Technology Aerospace still hasn't disclosed how much it costs to travel to space once.

For professionals, the Wooden Kite has really accomplished the achievement of flying 3 times a month.

Anyone with a little knowledge of spaceflight knows that when the spacecraft returns to the atmosphere, it will rub against the atmosphere violently. At that time, it will generate a high temperature of more than 1000 degrees. Therefore, all the spacecraft that return to the ground safely have "big black faces" or "big yellow faces", like Like a fire.

This is actually a kind of "ablation and heat protection" technology.

On the way back to the ground, the spacecraft began to enter the dense atmosphere at an altitude of 100km above the ground, and their speed was about 8 kilometers per second.

And just like we rub our hands to keep warm in winter, the high-speed friction of the cabin against the atmosphere and the compression of the surrounding gas make the landing speed drop sharply and generate huge heat at the same time.

In order to protect the safety of astronauts and experimental instruments and equipment in the return capsule, scientists and engineers have come up with an ingenious method of "losing the pawn to protect the handsome", that is, to cover the outside of the return capsule, especially the bottom with the highest friction temperature. Covered with a layer of heat protection called "ablative material".

Once the body of the return cabin is attacked by high temperature, the heat-resistant layer of ablative material will "burn itself", and consume the heat by burning itself, thereby protecting the spacecraft.

The messy black and yellow marks are the result of ablative heat shields, which heat up to melt, vaporize, sublimate, decompose, and oxidize as ablative material rubs against the atmosphere.

But the wooden kite space plane is different, it has come and gone 3 times, and people haven't seen the blackening on its fuselage at all...

Oh, no, the protective layer under it, on the nose and on the edge of the wings is originally black, where the friction is most intense, but the white areas that border the black protective layer show no signs of turning yellow.

And the black part below is also very smooth, without any trace of ablation, as if...it wasn't the one that went back and forth to the atmosphere three times before.

But it's obviously it!

It is now June, and it has to complete 6 test flights. After completing this month's test flight, it will make some modifications and prepare for manned flight.

And at this time, another super product of Practical Technology was exposed.

It was a video. The video was the second phase of the construction site of Practical Science and Technology Aerospace Corporation, where people filmed a new type of labor equipment.

"This looks like a...intelligent robot?"
