"Yes, we just want to focus on the future." Qin Guan said: "We want to move towards a naval power step by step."

"So, let's discuss the construction plan for the new generation of aircraft carriers?" General Zhang said.

On the second aircraft carrier in his outfit, Qin Guan finally began to think about it in everyone's eyes.

General Zhang, in fact, is also concerned. The navy's aircraft carrier formation was pulled up by Qin Guan with one hand. Therefore, how to develop next, of course, must also listen to Qin Guan's plan.

Qin Guan said in the past that the naval riots meeting must have amphibious assault ships, more 10,000-ton destroyers, etc. However, how the next generation of aircraft carriers will develop is still very general.

Now, facing the old people in the shipbuilding industry, what Qin Guan wants to say is definitely the most detailed plan.

"Now, our warship design institute must have begun to design amphibious assault ships, right?" Qin Guan said to Director Pan.

In fact, Qin Guan has already given the corresponding design materials to the Warship Design Institute, so they only need to digest and absorb, and aim for improvements to complete the design.

"Yes, it has been completed. When designing, we considered the plan to carry our vertical take-off and landing fighter." Director Pan said: "So, next, we can start building this amphibious assault ship. "

"Amphibious assault ship?" It was also the first time Makarov heard about this project, and immediately thought about it carefully.

"Yes, if you build this kind of warship first, you can take a complete road of manufacturing large warships. After all, it has always been repaired." Makarov agreed to this plan. The amphibious assault ship is better than It is a step-by-step, qualified plan to use lower-grade warships with aircraft carriers and at the same time exercise the shipyard’s technology.

The Xiong country also went like this. From the helicopter carrier to the Kiev class, they gradually accumulated experience and gained the later capabilities. Unfortunately, after the collapse of the Xiong country, their dream of building a warship was shattered.

"This amphibious assault ship needs at least tens of thousands of tons, so it makes sense."

Hearing his words, Qin Guan smiled: "Our plan is forty thousand tons."

40,000 tons? Makarov’s eyes suddenly showed a surprised look. It was 40,000 tons, and it was only 40,000 tons in the Kiev class. If Han Guo first develops a 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship, then build it. The aircraft carrier with larger displacement is naturally the best.

In particular, Han Guo has developed a stealth vertical take-off and landing fighter, which is simply tailor-made for this amphibious assault ship. Before the Han people did anything, they had already done all kinds of paving work, which made people sigh. Look at Xiong Guo. It was only when he was engaged in Kiev level that he started to build Yak 38. As a result, it took so many years. The Yak 38 did not mature, and later Yak 38 came ashore, and the Kiev class became a freak that could only carry helicopters.

The preparation of the Han people is really too thorough.

"President Qin, I have an idea." At this moment, Director Pan spoke again.

Compared with Makarov, Director Pan knows more things. On the one hand, Makarov is devoted to work and does not care about other things. On the other hand, Makarov is after all Outsiders, so he shouldn’t inquire. He never inquires blindly. Now, since everyone talks together, Makarov plays the role of the audience more often. After all, he doesn’t know many things. , Now, the most is to make suggestions after hearing it, of course, the most is shock.

For example, the 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship is enough to shock Makarov, of course, the more shocking is behind.

"What do you think?" Qin Guan asked Director Pan.

"Since we already have technical reserves on board the amphibious assault ship, when we continue to build the next aircraft carrier, we will already have enough experience. Therefore, I don't think we need to rebuild a conventionally powered aircraft carrier. , It’s better to go directly to nuclear power."

When Qin Guan held the meeting, the follow-up construction plan was to first conventional aircraft carriers and then nuclear power. This seemed to be a gradual plan. However, there was an obvious shortcoming. Such a navy aircraft carrier would completely become one. A hodgepodge.

There are the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers that have been transformed from the former Midway Island, the Varyag with conventional power for ski jump and takeoff, and the aircraft carriers with nuclear power, ski jump and catapult, and two newly built, one with conventional power and one Nuclear power, in this way, is simply a hodgepodge.

Doing so will also cause a lot of logistical problems for the Navy. Therefore, Director Pan has now proposed that we should all use nuclear power.

Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers do not need to consume fuel on their own, and can use all of their space to load the aviation fuel needed by carrier-based aircraft. This is very important for maintaining continuous operations.

Seeing Qin Guan’s face, Director Pan continued: “Such a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier can also use our newly developed all-electric propulsion solution, combined with electromagnetic catapults and electromagnetic interception to land, so that it can become the most advanced aircraft carrier. Up."

Full electric propulsion?

Hearing Director Pan’s words, Qin Guan was also surprised: "We have broken through these technologies?"

Ordinary power systems directly drive the propellers through the drive shaft, which can be diesel engines, gas turbines, or steam turbines. However, in the next era, it is already going to enter the all-electric propulsion program.

All-electric propulsion, that is, the power system is all used to produce electric energy, and then the electric power is used for propulsion. In this way, since the distribution of electric power is the most convenient, it can be integrated and coordinated. Moreover, the equipment on warships uses more and more electric power. The more.

Qin Guan said before, but after that, he didn’t pay attention to it. After all, this technology is really mature, and it should be another 20 to 30 years. Now, Director Pan said that he wants this kind of technology. Qin Guan was not surprised.

"Yes, it has broken through." Director Pan said: "In the proposal you proposed to us for the 10,000-ton large drive, we plan to adopt the all-electric propulsion solution. In this way, after the 10,000-ton large drive is built, the sea The test and the discovery of the problem happened to be in the process of building the amphibious landing ship. In this way, when we started to build the aircraft carrier, the all-electric propulsion had been tested on the 10,000-ton large drive, and it was just right for the aircraft carrier."

"All-electric propulsion?" Makarov was still muttering this word at this time, and then suddenly a light of hope flashed in his eyes: "You already have this technology?"

He was also shocked.

Han country has the most advanced technology of this era.
