Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1122 1123 Air defense and anti-submarine ship!

 In fact, many factories in the Tang Empire are already very busy. They are all working hard to produce various orders from all over the world.

 The Tang Empire sold more than 4,000 propeller fighters of various types to the outside world. Most of these aircraft were assembled in the Datang Empire and then transported to all parts of the world via sea.

 Including Spitfire fighter, TA-152 fighter, Yak fighter, Mustang fighter... These aircraft brought hundreds of millions of revenue to the Tang Empire.

In addition, there are actually a large number of aircraft of various types also being produced: that is, various types of attack aircraft to be used on aircraft carriers.

Although the Zero fighter had a poor record in the hands of Mirage, it was just a Zero fighter. The 99 Ship Explosion and 97 Ship Attack designed and produced in World War II were good things that may be snapped up by many countries in the future.

In addition, the Tang Empire used its own carrier-based Stukas, carrier-based pirate fighters, as well as American carrier-based Dauntless dive bombers, Avengers carrier-based torpedo attack aircraft... and even the not-so-advanced, but very practical F6F ships Carrying fighter jets…

Datang Group is accelerating the production of these aircraft, because countless countries will definitely purchase them in the future! After all, when it comes to carrier-based aircraft, the world has no experience at all.

The Tang Empire directly used mature aircraft carrier designs and equipped its navy with pirate fighters, which virtually raised the entry threshold for carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers.

Things like the Swordfish attack aircraft and early carrier-based aircraft are not favored by the navies of various countries. They urgently need a powerful carrier-based aircraft that can provide protection for their navy, and a mature aircraft carrier that can take off such aircraft.

 So the kind of garbage in the early exploration stage cannot appear slowly according to the historical process. Under this situation, the navies of all countries in the world can only accept the technological poverty alleviation provided by the Datang Empire.

Want to do it yourself? It is almost impossible: subsequent developments have also proved the judgment of the engineers and technicians of the Tang Empire. Countries around the world have begun to make requests for the purchase of some carrier-based aircraft.

It is not easy to produce thousands of aircraft at once: think about propeller aircraft. If it is a more complex jet aircraft, it is not easy to increase the annual production to two to three hundred aircraft. .

In fact, what is shocking is that while the Tang Empire accelerated the production of thousands of propeller aircraft, it was also producing a large number of helicopters and civilian aircraft. This terrifying production capacity was the real reason why the Tang Empire was invincible.

The Tang Empire is building a Boeing aircraft manufacturing factory in another world: Tang Mo plans to produce about 500 aircraft per year, and then launch Cyric as an Airbus to compete with Boeing.

 The two companies will bring huge profits to Tang Mo every year, and they will also monopolize the entire aircraft market, so that all jetliners around the world will be produced by companies controlled by Tang Mo.

To pave the way for Cyric in advance, Tang Mo has handed over the related technologies of the 97 Ship Attack and 99 Ship Explosion aircraft to Cyric, allowing the Cyric Consortium to provide them to the world.

 In this way, they will leave a good "airline" impression to countries around the world and recognize that they have certain aviation technology.

On the other hand, the Tang Empire has been continuously launching various artificial satellites with various capabilities recently. The advancement of communication technology has allowed these satellites to transmit back some information without returning to the ground.

Tang Mo is rushing to build a complete satellite system to establish a GPS system to make his missiles more accurate and keep his map always on.

It is a pity that the technology of this system is not yet mature. At least Tang Mo's current electronic computer is still about the same size as a refrigerator. Everything needs to continue to be accumulated and developed.

Although the Tang Empire was unwilling to sell RPG rocket launchers in order to maintain the quality advantage of its armored forces, similar technologies spread.

Almost overnight, countries around the world came up with their own similar weapons: some resemble Germany's Panzerfaust rocket launcher, and some are more like bazookas.

No matter which path they take, all countries have researched and developed this kind of low-tech weapon: As for the effect, I really don’t know.

  After all, this thing is, to put it bluntly, an "armor-breaking bomb" plus a rocket propulsion. The only difference is the efficiency. Anyone who can copy it will understand the principle.

 It is completely different from jet engines and submarine technology. It can be copied, and as long as you can get samples, everyone will come up with similar gadgets.

  But it is completely impossible to develop an anti-tank missile with this kind of rocket launcher, because the instruction for that set of things is another set of knowledge, which is difficult to plagiarize. It is precisely because of this that no country in the world can figure out the secret of the Styx anti-ship missile used by the main fleet of the Tang Dynasty Navy destroyer Da Po Mirage.

We have no "reference object" for plagiarism, and there is no corresponding technology development tree, so we can't make a name for ourselves at all. This is in sharp contrast to the rocket launcher, and it also explains why RPG and AK can become the poor man's weapon.

 Some gadgets are really cheap, easy to manufacture, and don’t have much technical content, so they tend to become the weapons of choice in backward areas.

As for those precious weapon systems, repairmen in backward areas cannot understand them, and there is no way to replenish parts. No matter how good the performance is, they cannot be used...

 Another very popular weapon is torpedoes: because anti-ship missiles are not for sale, torpedoes have become the weapon of choice for various countries to use small to make big gains.

 In the past, the destroyers of these countries did not have the ability to defeat monsters by leapfrogging. They had no way to deal with cruisers and battleships. If they could not defeat them, they could not defeat them. Well now, these destroyers finally have the ability to fight to the death, which has greatly improved the combat capabilities of small warships from all over the world.

 With torpedoes, their destroyers and cruisers can finally fight independently. At the same time, these battleships finally have a clear meaning of existence!

In the past, these small warships were only used as cheap supplements to large warships. They patrolled on weekdays and pretended to be dead when there was a war. The price/performance ratio was not very high, and they were reluctant to give up.

 Well now, these small warships finally have their actual combat role. They can serve as the vanguard of the fleet during war, and can also defend the port. The price/performance ratio is simply amazing!

At the same time, along with the submarines for sale are sonar systems. After this thing was placed in front of engineers all over the world, they realized that submarines have ears!

This system made everyone suddenly realize, and it also gave many people an enlightenment: Since submarines can rely on sonar to avoid patrols by warships on the water, can warships on the water also rely on this thing to hunt down submarines?

Since then, the anti-submarine destroyer was born: this is a brand new field, and all countries have begun to invest crazily, and a new round of naval arms race has begun.

 We are all smart people. As long as we have ideas and technology, the cheapest supporting solution will be ready: it is similar all over the world, and everyone thinks of it together.

The Navy has very unified requirements for new destroyers: First, the destroyers must have anti-submarine capabilities. This was something they did not have in the past, but now there are supporting facilities, so they must have anti-submarine capabilities! Secondly, the torpedo warfare capability must be possessed. This is the destroyer’s trump card. Of course it must be possessed! Finally, the new destroyer must further increase its air defense capabilities to protect its important warships from the opponent's aviation power.

 Everything is obvious: with the emergence of the aircraft carrier concept, the air defense pressure of water fleets is no longer just in coastal areas. Even on the vast ocean, the threat from aircraft is increasing day by day.

So the fleet must have stronger air defense capabilities, the ability to fight to the death with enemy fleets, and the ability to prevent enemy submarines from sneak attacks...

 Air defense, anti-submarine, anti-ship! Yes, the most original, the three major requirements for fleet destroyers were put forward at this time.

 Hence, the tonnage of the new destroyer should be around 3,000 to 4,000 tons. It should have certain ocean combat capabilities. The speed must be fast and it must be able to operate independently or follow aircraft carrier battleships.

 A larger hull, about the same size as a light cruiser, can accommodate more advanced equipment: including the newly emerged depth bomb technology, anti-submarine rocket technology, sonar technology, torpedo technology...

 At the same time, this battleship must be equipped with more anti-aircraft guns so that it can protect itself and the battleships or aircraft carriers around it.

 Some smarter people and active thinkers even thought of installing radars on battleships to provide early warning to the fleet.

To be honest, with the Tang Empire selling radar, torpedoes, sonar and other technologies, the design ideas of destroyers and cruisers have become very similar to those of their counterparts on Earth during World War II.

Anyway, they were the ones who put forward the design requirements, and the Tang Empire provided technical components. After a lot of stacking up, the new destroyers or light cruisers that have been designed in the past few days have very similar technical indicators, and even the basic appearance is silly. Can't tell clearly.

 It’s just that no one knows that at the same time, all the destroyers produced by the Tang Empire Navy were guided missile destroyers. They are all equipped with Styx anti-ship missiles, equipped with similar Tatar anti-aircraft missiles... their sustained combat capabilities are average, but their combat effectiveness is fully increased in a short period of time.

 Many weapon systems of the Tang Empire are being updated, and countries around the world are also updating their equipment. For a moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that in the far north of the Endless Sea, near the Mirage, there seemed to be a war... that was not over yet.

 The update will be updated later, you can watch it tomorrow morning.

In addition, Longling has updated 4 chapters in June, so in fact, as of now, including taking leave the day before yesterday, I still owe you 18 chapters... It can be regarded as a little bit of patching up... Well, it's really just a little bit.
