Chapter 764 Under the Great Space Age

"Because the aircraft carrier itself is not good at defense, and the missiles are relatively expensive, I will not demonstrate how resistant it is to beating." Zhao Ming said jokingly, "In short, it will not be worse than the Ford class."

The Ford-class aircraft carrier is the latest heavy-duty aircraft carrier of a major country. It has a displacement of more than 100,000 tons and has many watertight compartments inside.

After withdrawing all oil and ammunition and closing all watertight doors, they bombarded it with various weapons for half a month but failed to completely sink it.

However, this test does not make much sense.

First, when an aircraft carrier performs combat missions, it is impossible to carry nothing. It will definitely carry enough internal fuel and various ammunition.

The existence of these things is a huge hidden danger, as they are all flammable and explosive materials.

Many times large warships are sunk because these things explode from within.

The second is that the purpose of attacking an aircraft carrier is not necessarily to sink the opponent.

It is basically enough to make it lose its combat effectiveness.

If it can cause irreparable damage, so much the better. After it eventually loses its repair value, it can only be reduced to a target ship to use its residual heat.

After Zhao Ming finished his demonstration, someone immediately raised their hands to ask questions.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhao, what is the power system of this aircraft carrier? Why can it fly?"

This is a very critical issue. Zhao Ming forgot to introduce it before, but the experts present did not forget it.

"This is a good question. First of all, we do not use nuclear power. The energy source of the aircraft carrier is actually the same as that of the fighter aircraft, which are high-concentration energy crystals.

This kind of energy crystal is between liquid and solid, and its energy density is greater than liquid energy liquid.

As for why it can fly, it is because there is an anti-gravity engine inside, which can completely shield the earth's gravity.

Then we install some attitude regulators to control it to fly up, down, left, and right.

When on the sea, the electric motor drives the tail propeller to provide propulsion.

When inside the atmosphere, it can be propelled by electric jet engines mounted on the sides.

Once in outer space, rocket engines can only be used to generate thrust.

Speaking of which, in addition to being relatively complex, these three power systems also take up a lot of space, so there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

Now we are developing the second generation anti-gravity engine.

This kind of engine can not only shield the earth's gravity, but also change the direction of gravity and even enhance gravity.

In this way, we can move around the inner solar system with only one set of engines."

The anti-gravity technology provided in the system mall may be more appropriately called gravity control technology.

After the upgrade, by adjusting the gravity intensity in each direction, the spacecraft can move back and forth between adjacent celestial bodies like a monkey on a swing in the forest.

Although it cannot be compared with interstellar navigation technologies such as space jumping and space compression, at least it does not need to carry a large amount of working fluid fuel, making interstellar travel possible.

As long as the spacecraft is made large enough and a realistic earth environment is simulated inside, there will be no mental illness even if you live there for a lifetime.

What's more, there are things like MR headsets, which can provide a fully immersive travel experience to any corner of the earth. Even if you are aboard a small spaceship like the one currently available to humans, you will never be bored.

"Okay, now that we've talked about the aircraft carrier, let's take a look at the battleship."

Zhao Ming's words immediately aroused the interest of the military bosses. They sat upright involuntarily, with expressions of anticipation on their faces.

Of course, the battleships sailing in space will not look the same as the battleships during World War II, but the model of big ships and huge guns should not change.

"Not counting aircraft carriers, we have actually planned a total of three types of battleships, of which the battleship is the largest in terms of tonnage.

As everyone imagines, it is characterized by a large cannon. Its main weapons are a giant electromagnetic main gun that penetrates the entire ship, as well as various heavy space torpedoes and missiles.

Its positioning is the same as before, that is, the decisive force of the fleet."

Speaking of which, the translucent model in the air was also replaced by a space battleship.

Compared with aircraft carriers, battleships are slender in shape. The overall shape is a bit like a pencil cut in half from the middle, and the head looks like half an arrow.

The most eye-catching thing are the two huge gun ports under the bow of the ship.

The muzzle is sealed by a multi-blade gun port similar to a camera shutter, which seems to have the ability to open and close quickly.

Zhao Ming pointed to the two muzzles and said: "This is the main gun of the battleship. If the same level is fighting, as long as it is hit by a shell, the opponent's battleship will be severely damaged. Smaller battleships will be directly hit.

disintegration.

In addition, starting from the bow and going back, there are multiple electromagnetic secondary guns and laser cannons with slightly smaller diameters, which are distributed in a stepped manner on both sides of the central axis.

In addition to numerous point defense close-in defense guns, the rear half of the ship also has many missile launch ports.

The tail is the main engine. All warships have no propellers at the tail and can only move in space."

Everyone here has seen a space battleship for the first time, and they don’t know whether this design is suitable or whether it can meet the needs of actual combat.

After all, there is no opponent yet, and no one knows how a space war will be fought in real situations.

Zhao Ming also understood this, so he added: "Actually, we are still exploring now. Most of the designs of these warships are still based on imagination, so currently only one has been built for technical verification.

We will definitely design more models of warships in the future, and there will be huge changes in functionality and tonnage.

Maybe what is called a battleship now will not even be considered a frigate in the future."

Everyone couldn't help but nod. This is in line with Chinese people's habits. They will not waste precious resources until they are sure.

"Now let's see the real thing."

Just like before, Zhao Ming made the first space battleship in human history fly out of the greenhouse and flashed its image to say hello to everyone.

When its muzzle was opened and pointed at the lounge, everyone still felt cold sweat breaking out on their heads, even though they knew it was impossible to actually fire.

At this time, everyone discovered that these two things that looked like big nostrils were really big in caliber, and I was afraid that a car could run inside the barrel.

Zhao Ming then introduced the cruisers that assisted the battleships in combat or served as the main force of the squadron, the anti-aircraft destroyers that protected the battleships, the frigates that quickly circled behind and carried out sneak attacks, and the transport ships that were mainly responsible for transporting people or materials, etc.

These are basically only early design ideas, without actual data, and it is impossible to have physical demonstrations.

But overall, everyone is very pleased with what they saw today.

So someone immediately asked: "Mr. Zhao, we care more about civilian ships than warships.
