314 Design Institute, Director's Office.
Li Changkong was sitting at his desk in a daze.
His right hand kept tapping on the table, maintaining a steady rhythm.
At this moment, he was thinking about the new idea that Su Yu had proposed.
However, because Su Yu's idea was too shocking, Li Changkong was still a little hesitant.
After a while, the knocking on the table suddenly stopped.
Li Changkong seemed to have made up his mind.
He picked up the phone on his desk and simply pressed a speed dial button.
Not long after, the call was connected.
"Hello, Chief, I have something to report to you.”
"Yes, you guessed right. It's indeed about Su Yu.”
"He came to me yesterday to talk about his ideas for the new aircraft carrier transformation. There are two plans.”
"The first plan is to completely re-design the new aircraft carrier. Because the new aircraft carrier itself has a flat deck design, and the weight is much larger than the previous two aircraft carriers, Su Yu feels that this new aircraft carrier can completely re-design the internal structure according to the most advanced next-powered aircraft carrier, and finally completely build it into the world's most advanced next-powered aircraft carrier.”
After Li Changkong said Su Yu's first thought, the Bureau Chief quickly gave his feedback.
"Okay, yes yes, but Chief, the reason why I'm reporting to you is because I'm not sure about the second plan he proposed.”
"It's like this. The second plan is..."
.......
Li Changkong spoke for a long time before he finally explained Su Yu's second plan clearly. However, this time, the Bureau Chief on the other end of the phone also fell silent.
After a while, Li Changkong received another order.
" Yes, I understand. What!?"
"Bureau Chief, are you serious?？”
"Ahem, I'll listen to your orders.”
"Alright, yes!"
After hanging up, Li Changkong sighed deeply.
"Sigh, they're all crazy!"
The reason why Li Changkong was so conflicted was because he was shocked by Su Yu's second plan.
In the beginning, he really thought that Su Yu was crazy.
However, after receiving the new order, Li Changkong felt that Su Yu was still normal, but the Bureau Chief was even crazier!
........
The day before, Su Yu came to look for him, and the two of them chatted for a long time.
Su Yu's first thought was relatively radical.
He wanted to completely design the new aircraft carrier that was already half-built into a next-powered aircraft carrier, and his goal was to make it the most advanced next-powered aircraft carrier in the world.
However, this radical idea was still highly feasible in Li Changkong's opinion.
The miniaturized nuclear reactor technology that Su Yu brought out did not have too many requirements for the aircraft carrier itself.
Therefore, the new aircraft carrier that was half-built had enough time to change the internal structure.
To sum up, this first idea was considered pragmatic and reliable, and it would indeed have a major impact on the Dragon Country's naval combat power.
The so-called radical was only more radical than the conservative approach.
As expected, the Bureau Chief did not hesitate at all after hearing this and immediately approved the first plan.
However, Su Yu's second plan was really somewhat shocking.
Li Changkong could still clearly remember every word Su Yu said to him.
"Chief Instructor Li, I have another idea. You can listen to it too.”
"The energy output of the miniaturized nuclear reactor is very powerful, and its size is very flexible. This is also one of its major advantages. In fact, the old aircraft carrier that we are about to modify can be equipped with two sets.”
"But after thinking about it, I realized that the advantage of a miniaturized nuclear reactor is not completely useless.”
"Take the new aircraft carrier under construction for example. The size of the new aircraft carrier can accommodate six sets of miniaturized nuclear reactors.”
"If we really install so many nuclear reactors on it, then the huge amount of energy produced cannot be wasted. It cannot be used just to let the aircraft carrier swim in the water, but to let the aircraft carrier fly in the sky.”
When Li Changkong heard this, his eyes widened like glass beads.
When Su Yu saw his reaction, he even explained in a gentle tone.
"Chief Instructor Li, don't look like that. Think about it, six nuclear reactors are actually useless. Four is enough, but the power generated by these four nuclear reactors can completely drive four huge propellers.”
"In this way, we only need to add four or more giant propellers to the aircraft carrier to turn it into an aerospace carrier, right?”
"As for its actual advantage, it is obvious that the aircraft carrier will completely ignore the threat of submarines.”
"Moreover, the speed of the fighter jet taking off from the air will be greatly increased. We don't even have to care too much about the distance of the runway. Anyway, we're in the air.”
" And this way, because the aircraft carrier is driven by nuclear power, in theory, it can hover in the sky for up to five months. Even if the nuclear core fuel consumption is too large, it can be directly sent up by a transport plane. As for whether the aircraft carrier needs to come down and repair it, it depends on the situation.”
"Of course, I've already calculated whether the propeller lift can drive the huge weight of the aircraft carrier. As long as the main material of the aircraft carrier is replaced with the titanium-titanium alloy that I made, it will meet the standard.”
"Of course, the cost of using titanium alloy is still too high. However, I recently had an inspiration. I can come up with an alloy that is equally light in weight and high in strength, but at a lower cost.”
"As for the weakness of this space carrier, it's still the threat of anti-ship missiles.”
"But on this point, the aircraft carrier is the same in the sky and in the sea. I can design and manufacture a more advanced defense system to solve this problem and ensure that no missiles from other countries can hit us.”
"Oh, right, I haven't had time to talk about the aircraft carrier battle group. The aircraft carrier at sea needs the aircraft carrier battle group itself for defense. Whether it's the enemy's surface ships, aircraft, missiles, or submarines, to a large extent, the aircraft carrier battle group is used to offset this threat.”
" However, the motherships with higher movement speed only need to defend against enemy aircraft and missiles.”
"That's why he doesn't need an aircraft carrier battle group to protect him. I'll solve the missile problem, and the fighter aircraft will solve the enemy's problem.”
"Of course, this is just my initial idea. There may be many problems that I haven't considered, but you can consider it.”
.........
These were the exact words that Su Yu had said to Li Changkong.
At that time, Li Changkong thought that Su Yu had a fever and was crazy to think of such a method.
He also wanted to build an airship.
However, after Li Changkong calmed down and thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Su Yu said made sense.
Especially for Li Changkong, who specialized in building aircraft carriers, he couldn't find any fault with it. That meant that this idea was reasonable.
The aircraft carrier itself did not have many weaknesses. The biggest threats to the aircraft carrier were submarines and a large number of high-speed missiles.
Submarines were the only weapons that could get close to the aircraft carrier, and torpedoes were a huge threat to the aircraft carrier.
To put it simply, the damage caused by five missiles hitting the aircraft carrier was not as great as the damage caused by a torpedo hitting the underwater part of the aircraft carrier.
The other type was a supersonic missile. However, only one of these things could not hit the aircraft carrier. In order to break through the multiple defenses of the aircraft carrier battle group, they had to use a saturated attack.
Under a saturated attack, there would always be one or two missiles that could break through the frigate's long-range anti-missile missiles, then break through the short-range anti-missile missiles, and finally break through the short-range defense artillery to hit the aircraft carrier.
As for the surface ships and enemy planes? Breaking through the thousand-kilometer warning range of the aircraft carrier battle group was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
If it was really like what Su Yu said, sending the aircraft carrier into the sky.
Wouldn't the threat of the submarine disappear?
As for the missiles, they weren't the biggest threat. Li Changkong really felt that Su Yu had the ability to solve this problem.
As for the enemy planes, they could only approach the aircraft carrier if they could pass through the blockade of our fighter planes and the attack of anti-air missiles.
So far, he really hadn't thought of anything that couldn't work.
In the end, he was very conflicted, so he directly handed this problem to his superiors to decide.
In the end, the Bureau Chief's decision made him even more speechless.
"Xiao Li, the new aircraft carrier that is currently half-built should be modified according to Su Yu's first idea.”
"But I think his second idea is completely feasible from a strategic point of view. Why don't we wait until this project is over and restart a real aerospace carrier project?”
This was the Bureau Chief's order.
Alright, one crazy, one even crazier!
