Chapter 724: Controversy over design ideas

Regarding the design of the land-based aircraft carrier frigate, Chen Xin

recruited weapons experts from both the army and the navy.

Land-based aircraft carriers are certainly land-based vehicles. How to design

the defense of the frigate, and use those weapons to fight, the army’s weapons

experts are undoubtedly the most say.

However, this kind of large-scale weapons platform has never existed in the

Army. Even if it has a mobile base as a reference, it still needs naval

weapons experts to provide some valuable experience.

After all, compared to the army, the navy is the old connoisseur of such big

guys.

"For land frigates like this, I suggest not to design too big." The navy

weapon expert who first expressed his opinion said to Chen Xin: "As a frigate,

its main purpose is to protect land aircraft carriers. Therefore, Everything

should be carried out around this purpose.

The navy’s previous ships were made so big, which was based on actual needs.

Ocean voyages have requirements for the size of the hull, so they can’t be

made smaller.

After all, the sea is so strong, and the ship's ability to resist wind and

waves is smaller if the hull is small. When a wave comes, the whole ship is

thrown up, so what is the battle?

But if you use it on land, you just need to be able to carry enough defensive

weapons. There is no need to consider the self-sustaining of ocean-going

voyages and do not need to be so big. "

Listening to the naval weapons experts, Chen Xin was still nodding slightly.

When he felt that what others said was reasonable, the army weapons experts on

the side were not happy: "What does it mean that our army doesn't need to be

built so big? Just your navy. Can you make a big guy, right?"

Of course, the Army’s weapons experts are just joking, and they don’t really

have any opinions.

But for the Army, the opportunity to build big guys is what they dream of.

After all, the navy does not move ships of thousands of tons and tens of

thousands of tons, just like dumplings. The army has less than a hundred tons,

and it is unavoidable that sometimes it will be used as a mockery, and

sometimes the army itself will be too. Take this to joke.

Of course, the joke is a joke. During the serious discussion, the army’s

weapon experts still said seriously: “I suggest that a more mature design

should be adopted. First, design a general-purpose chassis, and then install

different chassis on the chassis according to different functions. Weaponry.

This design can adjust the formation of the frigate to meet the needs of air

defense and land combat. The common chassis parts can also facilitate logistic

repair and maintenance. This is for the continuous operation of the entire

fleet. It can be greatly improved. "

It is indeed a good design idea to adopt a unified universal chassis and then

replace different modules to achieve different functions.

A unified chassis means that the parts are universal, so that a lot of energy

and consumption can be saved whether in production or logistical maintenance.

The benefit of the universal chassis is the interchangeability between

different functional modules. When necessary, the damaged module or chassis

can be removed and replaced with usable spare parts, so that the combat

effectiveness can still be maintained.

If a different chassis design is adopted, there is no such convenient

function, and one more model of parts is an additional burden for logistics

and production.

Not only does it need to prepare twice as many parts, but even the production

line has to be designed separately, which will cause more consumption.

So on this point, both the army and navy weapons experts agreed with this, but

the two sides have disputes over how big the chassis is.

"I still feel that it can't be made too big. If it's too big, it's not

flexible. Whether it's production, maintenance, or use itself, it's

inconvenient." Naval weapons experts still insist that the frigate cannot be

made too big.

However, the army’s weapons experts argued for reasons and obviously did not

want the frigate to be built too small: “What’s the use of building too small?

If it’s too small, I might as well use 4-25 anti-aircraft guns and tank

clusters with helicopters!

The frigate of a land-based aircraft carrier needs to accompany the land-based

aircraft carrier to act together. It shoulders various combat tasks such as

guarding, clearing obstacles, air defense, and reconnaissance. How can it be

too small to be capable of these tasks? "

"Even so, such a large tonnage, let alone how to build, such a heavy weight is

enough to move? And land is not as good as the ocean, except for the plain

terrain, where can you find a place that can pass such a large tonnage? And

It's still a fleet travel, which is simply not practical on land!" After a

quarrel, the navy's weapons experts were already slapped on the table with

anger.

However, the Army’s weapons experts did not know this, but he still hopes to

get the Army a big guy big enough.

Listening to the quarrel between the two sides, Chen Xin had to come out to

make a round, and said to the two weapons experts: "Both of them are fighting

fires. In fact, I have solved the problem of passage. Land passage capacity

does not limit the tonnage of land frigates. factor."

"What? Solved it?" The weapon experts of the Army and the Navy looked at Chen

Xin together. They didn't know that the land aircraft carrier had an anti-

gravity device and could fly in the air.

This matter is also classified internally by the military and high-level

officials and has not been disclosed to the outside world, so even the army

and navy weapons experts have no knowledge of this matter.

However, it is not that the two weapons experts cannot be told about this

matter. After all, they are asked to assist in the design of the frigate, and

the information that should be known is still to be said.

So Chen Xin explained to the two weapons experts and let them know about the

anti-gravity device.

After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, the two weapon experts at UU

Reading www.uukanshu.com couldn't help being taken aback. It took a long time

before they recovered and digested the information he had said.

"If that's the case... can't the aircraft carrier fly?" The navy's weapons

experts thought of the aircraft carrier on the way to sail.

"It is indeed possible to fly, but it still needs to be used with a propulsion

system. The anti-gravity device itself can only achieve floating air energy."

Chen Xin nodded affirmatively.

When Chen Xin said that he could fly, the eyes of the two weapon experts met,

and brilliance flashed in their eyes in unison.

An army weapon expert said: "In this case, we should design the frigate on the

premise that the frigate is in flight. There are more things to consider when

flying in the sky than walking on the ground."

"Yes, if you fly in the sky, the weapon shooting range is completely

different, and the overall structure of the platform and the layout of the

weapon positions also need to be reconsidered." The Navy's weapons experts

also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the two parties reached a consensus, Chen Xin breathed a sigh of

relief, and discussed with the two weapons experts how to design this kind of

frigate for land-based aircraft carriers.
