Chapter 1122, the service of aviation battleships

The day after the meeting ended, Wu Shaoting ordered his accompanying staff to prepare to arrange for the matter of leaving for the camp in Kunming.

He also stayed in Guangzhou for more than ten days and met his wife, father-in-law and relatives and friends. Although he was more or less reluctant to give up on his family, the country's major affairs were the priority and the South Asian battlefield could not be relaxed.

However, just as the staff were actively arranging the itinerary, Wu Shaoting's uncle Zhang Zhicheng rushed back in a hurry and finally met Wu Shaoting in time.

Half a year ago, in order to imagine the wind-mounted wind steerer of the Dragon Ji, Zhang Zhicheng went to Qingdao, Shandong for on-site investigation, and then continued to travel between Guangzhou and Qingdao. During this period, he also went abroad to the United States and personally was responsible for purchasing a batch of raw materials. After returning to China in July, he continued to stay in a German factory in Qingdao.

Although the Wind Driver fighter is produced in the three factories of Guangdong Arsenal, Huangpu Machinery Company and Mawei Shipyard, these three factories are only responsible for the fuselage of the aircraft. As for the aircraft's weapon systems, including machine guns, and special torpedoes, they are all manufactured in the German factory in Qingdao.

When the manufactured plane was sent to Qingdao, Zhang Zhicheng personally guided the Qingdao factory to complete the wind controler.

He was busy until early September, and Zhang Zhicheng rushed back from Qingdao and happened to meet Wu Shaoting.

When he returned to the Zhang family villa, Zhang Zhicheng didn't even bother to change his clothes. After seeing Wu Shaoting, he looked proud.

"Zhicheng, you are back. I heard that you are very busy during this period." Wu Shaoting smiled and said to entertain him.

"Oh, I have to say that the busiest period in my life in the past six months has been the busiest period in my life. But no matter how busy it is, it is not as busy as the head of state, you, the head of state." Zhang Zhicheng said casually.

"Tell me, how busy is Qingdao?" Wu Shaoting asked. When he heard that Zhang Zhicheng came back from Qingdao, he knew that there must be the latest news about the Dragon Sphere. According to the prediction given by Zhang Zhicheng before, the Dragon Sphere should be officially put into service in October.

"The first batch of sixteen fighters have been produced. Three months ago, I acquired a German factory in Qingdao, which has been converted into Qingdao Ordnance, which is mainly responsible for the production of the machine shells and aviation torpedoes of the Wind Wheel fighter jets." Zhang Zhicheng said slowly.

"So, the Dragon Sphur can already be served?" Wu Shaoting asked naturally.

He calculated in his mind that the Longji shipload had only ten aircraft, and the warship itself had completed trial voyages in April, just waiting for the carrier-based aircraft to be in place. Now that the first batch of carrier-based aircraft have been completed production, China's first aviation battleship should be able to be launched and put into service.

Zhang Zhicheng nodded without any concealment and said with a smile: "That's right, the Longji successfully completed the sixth carrier-based aircraft cruise test in Jiaozhou Bay six days ago. The day before yesterday, I was at the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, and discussed this matter with Minister Tang, Minister Cheng and Minister Sa. Now everything in the project is over, so I'm waiting to send the Longji to the organization."

Wu Shaoting pondered for a moment. It was indeed good news that China owned an aviation battleship, and it would naturally go further in sea control in the future. As for the formation and service of the aviation battleship, he would carefully consider this matter, and then hold a meeting with the Ministry of Defense of the National X to discuss and confirm.

Zhang Zhicheng waited for a while, and when he saw Wu Shaoting not speaking, he felt a little depressed, so he took the initiative to say, "Zhenzhi, you must have never seen the Wind Driver Fighter, and you don't know the most proud characteristics of the Wind Driver Fighter."

Wu Shaoting came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "I really don't know. Let me tell you specifically, what is the wind controler worthy of being proud of?"

Zhang Zhicheng's expression of pride appeared again, and he said complacently: "The Wind Controller can be said to be the most balanced fighter among the second generation of combat power. The maximum speed of the carrier-based model can exceed 233 knots. It is currently the fastest cruise speed in the world, and it must exceed the speed of other aircraft more than ten times."

Wu Shaoting didn't think it was strange. If the cruising speed of the second-generation fighter was not as good as that of the wooden aircraft, there was no need to invest such huge manpower and material resources to develop it.

Without waiting for Wu Shaoting to react, Zhang Zhicheng couldn't wait to introduce the article and said: "In addition, the Wind Driver can take care of the torpedo with stronger capabilities. At present, Qingdao Arsenal mainly produces three types of torpedoes. The first type is the Wind Driver carrier-based torpedo, the second type is the Wind Driver Land Aviation torpedo, and the third type is the Navy standard torpedo."

Wu Shaoting asked: "Why, there are already two models of Wind Driver?"

Zhang Zhicheng nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, the carrier-based model is tentatively set to Type 16, and the Land Airlines model is tentatively set to Type 17. At present, the Land Airlines Wind Driver has completed the first test flight of the test aircraft, but it may have to wait until it can be put into mass production next year. The hardware of the Type 17 will be heavier than Type 16, but the endurance and firepower must be significantly improved."

Wu Shaoting has guessed this point. Carrier-based aircraft must consider the takeoff restrictions on aviation battleships, so it should be as simple as possible. The land aircraft is relatively loose. This can be inferred from the production of two types of torpedoes.

Zhang Zhicheng also said: "But for now, the Type 16 Wind Controller is already very good. The load capacity exceeds 75 kilograms, which is four times more than the first-generation fighter. It can take care of external fuel tanks or torpedoes, but it is still recommended to use torpedoes at present. Because the alternating fuel replenishment technology of external fuel tanks encounters a bottleneck, the aircraft must first use up the oil from the built-in fuel tank, and then switch to the oil from the external fuel tank. In short, it is more troublesome."

Wu Shaoting nodded and said indifferently: "Using external fuel tanks is nothing more than to increase the aircraft's endurance. However, with the comprehensive advantages of our second-generation fighter jets in China, there is almost no additional endurance in actual combat, which is enough to defeat all opponents."

Zhang Zhicheng laughed loudly and stroking his hands to echo the island: "That's right, that's right, that's exactly what's the truth."

Wu Shaoting reached out and patted Zhang Zhicheng on the shoulder, and said with praise: "The Dragon Sword has been successfully released, and you have made great contributions to Zhicheng. You will definitely become the leading engineer in our history, and your reputation will be recorded in history and will be remembered forever. I will personally arrange it to award you the Great Ribbon and Treasure Light Purple Dragon Medal to show your contribution to the **."

When Zhang Zhicheng heard this, he was not polite and said, "The Head of Shishi praised this so much. In the end, he must devote more effort and make more contributions to be worthy of this honor."
