Chapter 297 Framework
Chapter 297 Framework
Although Kang Chi’s words were brief and not very sentimental, everyone present was excited after hearing them.
These people are the top talents in the country in the field of applied scientific research. For them, they don’t have to consider their personal material needs too much. Realizing their own life value and making great contributions to the country are what they really value.
Especially for people like Ren Zhou, if he is not very optimistic about Kang Chi’s plan, he can completely refuse to be transferred to Project 004.
“The whole plan is mainly to use drone aircraft carriers as the main carrier to develop new unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, unmanned fighters, unmanned bombers, unmanned airborne aircraft, ground war robots, Silver Crane early warning aircraft, Silver Crane tankers and other major shipborne equipment.”
”The entire project tries to adopt modular design to maximize the module versatility of each equipment to meet the needs of mass production lines.”
After talking about the overall direction, Kang Chi paused and asked: “Do you have any questions?”
”I have a question.”
Ren Zhou raised his hand first and said: “The whole plan is only two years… Isn’t this too little?”
”I also feel that it is a bit unrealistic…” Mu Zilong also agreed.
“No, it’s already a long time.” Kang Chi shook his head directly. “This plan was actually launched several months ago, so we are not short of engine technology now, and communication technology will soon be solved. Silver Crane has even started mass production.”
”This plan already has so many pillar technologies to support it. Except that the ground war robot may be a little more difficult, I think there should not be too much technical difficulty for the others.”
”If it weren’t for the consideration of building a brand new aircraft carrier, it would indeed take a lot of time in terms of hard work. I would even give myself only one and a half years at most.”
Ren Zhou: “…”
Good guy, Is it that I am still a drag?
Seeing Ren Zhou’s speechless expression, Yan Hui and other engineers from Datang Heavy Industry couldn’t help but feel secretly proud.
It feels like Ren Zhou and the others are a little surprised.
In this regard, Yan Hui could only say silently in his heart: Get used to it…
In the past few years, they have been following Kang Chi, and they have almost always produced results at a speed of 2-4 months. Even the photolithography machine that year only took three or four months!
Although the EUV light source picked up the productivity of Changchun Institute of Optics, the speed is still exaggerated.
And this drone aircraft carrier plan currently seems to have eight major sections. If each section is calculated on average three months, 24 months seems to be just right.
Is there anything to question?
What’s more, most of these sections are still moving forward in parallel, and can even be distributed.
For example, the Yinhe early warning aircraft and the Yinhe refueling aircraft,
Just now, Kang Chi did not add the word “unmanned” to the names of these two logistics-oriented equipment,
So Yan Hui speculated that this should still be a manned model, and it is also easy to guess that these two projects should be handed over to Harbin Aircraft Industry Group.
Yan Hui’s guess was not wrong. Even after Kang Chi completed the technical investment in Harbin Aircraft Industry Group, they had already set up these two projects, which were already being promoted.
The early warning aircraft and the tanker, one for intelligence collection and the other for logistics supply, are both non-frontline combat aircraft. At the same time, the characteristics of the Silver Crane also determine that it is very suitable for these two tasks. Not only can it shine in the existing fleet system, but it can also be used in Kang Chi’s plan.
Among Harbin Aircraft Industry Group’s current R&D projects, these two have the highest priority.
After confirming that everyone has no other questions about the plan, Kang Chi began to assign tasks.
The design and manufacture of the aircraft carrier hull is naturally the responsibility of Ren Zhou’s team. Yan Hui’s team is mainly responsible for the two projects of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and unmanned fighter aircraft.
Unmanned bombers and unmanned airborne aircraft are the responsibility of Mu Zilong’s team at Xi’an Aircraft Industry Group.
These two equipment actually have one thing in common: they are both being made.
It’s just that one is to throw missiles, and the other is to throw airborne robots.
Just change a module, and they can even be merged into one project.
As expected, the Yinhe early warning aircraft and Yinhe tanker were handed over to the Harbin Aircraft Industry Group’s team.
Because the requirements had been communicated with them before, Kang Chi did not do it this time.They were called over.
As for the war robots, Kang Chi was in charge of them personally.
This project actually needs to be split into multiple sub-projects. It is impossible to replace all arms with just one type of robot. There must be robots with their own strengths, such as reconnaissance guerrilla warfare, blasting assault, long-range firepower cover, and close combat to cooperate with each other to achieve the highest efficiency.
Therefore, this project is not only the most difficult, but also has a very large workload.
After arranging their respective tasks, the next step is to put forward requirements for each project and discuss them.
In fact, Kang Chi had already briefly discussed the aircraft carrier hull and the H-20S with Ren Zhou and Mu Zilong before. Yan Hui and his team were personally following up on the fighter jets they were responsible for. I mentioned it again today, mainly to take advantage of the opportunity of everyone getting together to understand each other’s projects and progress, discuss and exchange ideas with each other, and see if there are any new inspirations.
“For the mothership project, Mr. Kang and I have already determined the general framework and direction after preliminary discussions.”
Ren Zhou connected the screen to his computer and showed his preliminary design plan.
”Is this…really an aircraft carrier?”
”Isn’t this a destroyer?”
”Where is the landing deck?”
[PS: AI can only give a rough reference, and the actual shape will be simpler and tougher on this basis]
Many people were a little confused when they saw the ship on the screen, which looked nothing like an aircraft carrier.
It feels a bit like the Zumwalt-class destroyer of the United States, which is a ship with simple and tough lines.
“Because the catapult deck of this carrier is inside the hull.” Ren Zhou explained, “The entire catapult system and the hangar are a unified whole. The entire catapult process is a bit like a machine gun. The four ejection ports can eject unmanned carrier-based aircraft outward at a speed of up to 12 per minute.”
”The runway of the previous aircraft carrier was exposed, mainly considering the hull space, take-off and landing and other issues.”
”But the size of unmanned equipment is smaller than that of traditional carrier-based aircraft. Now that we have stronger catapult technology and engine technology, we can do The short-range catapult is about 30 meters, so the built-in catapult will not waste too much space inside the hull. ”
”This design can not only improve the catapult efficiency of the aircraft carrier, but also the thick outer shell armor can greatly improve the defense of the aircraft carrier and the safety of the shipboard equipment. Even if it is hit by a missile, as long as the interior is not damaged, it still has complete combat effectiveness. ”
Mu Zilong immediately asked: “What about landing?”
”All carrier-based aircraft have a rigid requirement for vertical take-off and landing. ”
