Chapter 225 Weird Design
Just as Li Qingye was paying attention to the progress of the nuclear project in Black Tiger Canyon.
Inside the Panay Island No. 1 Shipyard in Luzon.
A Super Luzon-class amphibious assault ship with a displacement of 55,000 tons has completed the construction of the main hull structure and entered the intensive interior decoration stage.
Huang Weida, Ino and others who came from the Third Shipyard to provide support finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the huge ship in front of them.
During the nearly one-week immersion test, the hull did not show any deformation, leakage, or cracking.
They walked towards another fully enclosed dock. This was the second ship of the Super Luzon class. Currently, the main structure has been generated by about 76% and it will be completed in another two weeks.
Mori Naoto, the head of the design team of the Super Luzon-class amphibious assault ship, was also looking at the giant ship in front of him with excitement. The unique middle school spirit of the Japanese seemed to be burning.
Ino, standing by, spread his hands with a look of pain on his face: "Designer Mori, I still don't agree with this design."
"Designer Ino, your ideas are too old-fashioned. We must make full use of the company's material advantages and develop asymmetric combat methods that can deal with the enemy." Mori Shangzhe replied fanatically.
Huang Weida was no longer surprised by the endless arguments between the two.
Of course, the second ship of the Super Luzon class in front of us is indeed designed to be very unique, or even weird.
The Super Luzon class is not an ordinary amphibious assault ship, but an amphibious assault ship. In addition to supporting landing operations and surface combat, it can also dive.
With a design similar to that of a semi-submersible ship and a reinforced hull, its overall hull strength is about 2.7 times higher than that of an ordinary submarine, and its maximum diving depth is 2,400 meters.
In his design, Naoto Mori used a rapid diving solution, which is a negative pressure water filling tank, which can allow the warship to sink below the sea surface within 15 seconds.
The reason why it needs to be so fast is that Mori Naoteru designed the Super Luzon class into a submarine. If it does not dive fast enough, it will be difficult to avoid missile attacks.
Although the hull material strength of the New Luzon-class is very good, conventional torpedoes such as TNT, even those with a caliber of 800 mm, cannot tear open its hull, let alone small toothpicks such as Tomahawk cruise missiles.
But this behavior of resisting enemy firepower head-on is obviously a bit stupid.
Mori Shangzhe discovered a situation, that is, with the monitoring strength of the Intelligent Company on the seabed, the slow torpedoes had no way to get close to their own submarines and warships. On the contrary, the fighter jets or missiles in the sky could lock onto surface warships through radar.
Therefore, he chose to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
Once a war breaks out with the enemy, the Super Luzon class can avoid enemy radar surveillance .
As for sonar detection, the Super Luzon-class does not need to be afraid, because Sapiens currently has the second-generation anechoic tile technology. When the underwater speed is below 10 knots, it is basically the same as the background noise of the ocean, and active sonar cannot detect its trace.
This is why Mori Naoto insisted on the submarine plan.
Zhiren Company has obvious advantages in the field of materials. Its design is to give full play to the advantages of materials and create asymmetry with its competitors.
Ino scoffed at this plan: "But your plan is a bit upside down. You have to know that this is an amphibious assault ship. You don't plan to take back the planes you sent out? And how can your own planes determine the location of the Super Luzon class? Are the planes disposable?"
"No! No!" Mori Shangzhe laughed triumphantly:
"Designer Ino, you should pay more attention to the company's confidential scientific research journals. The magnetic field radar and magnetic field communication developed by the chairman have been put into use recently."
"Magnetic field radar? Magnetic field communication?" Ino was confused.
Huang Weida had read some of the relevant internal journals, and he asked in surprise, "Has it entered the practical stage?"
"Yes, this is another great masterpiece by Mr. Chairman." Mori Naotoshi's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
"What's the journal number?" Ino asked quickly.
"36-6605275." Huang Weida replied casually.
Ino opened his tablet, searched the internal journal database, and quickly found more than a dozen relevant academic papers.
After a quick look, Ino suddenly understood.
Magnetic field radar is different from electromagnetic wave radar. It does not need to emit electromagnetic waves itself, so there is no problem of being locked or being severely blocked by sea water.
Even two or three hundred meters underwater, the magnetic field radar carried by the fighter jets can still see obvious magnetic field signals.
Magnetic field communication technology is not a high-throughput communication, but a communication mode similar to flag signals.
For example, the submarine and the aircraft have an agreement that as long as the aircraft bursts out at a speed of Mach 2.8 for 3 minutes, or the aircraft performs a large-scale maneuver with a special trajectory in the air, it means that the aircraft is about to return.
At this time, the submarine can prepare to surface and pick up the aircraft for return .
In addition, since the ship is large enough, it can also be equipped with magnetic field change equipment inside the cabin to transmit signals to surrounding friendly ships and aircraft through changes in the intensity of the electromagnetic field.
This technology has greatly solved the problem of submarine communication, and there is no need to worry about the communication signals being discovered by the enemy's electronic signal reconnaissance aircraft or reconnaissance ships.
As for whether the enemy will track our fighter jets to lock onto the submerged warship, this is definitely the best option the enemy can think of.
Seeing Ino with a thoughtful look on his face, Mori Shangzhe asked with a smile:
"Did the Ino designer think about the possibility that the enemy might track the fighter? I can tell you that if they want to lock onto the submerged warship by tracking the fighter, they are wishful thinking."
He continued to explain: "I have a full understanding of the company's current fighter jets. Whether it is the Eagle fighter used by the Army Aviation, the Sea Eagle fighter used by the Navy Aviation, or the Sea Ray UAV of the Flying Fish Company, they all have the ability to cruise at ultra-low altitudes. At ultra-low altitudes on the sea, it is difficult to lock onto a stealth-coated aircraft unless they also have a magnetic field radar."
Seeing Ino looking depressed, Huang Weida changed the subject: "What are the performances of the Seahawk fighter and the Sea Ray drone? Can they be used on the Super Luzon-class amphibious assault ship?"
He asked this question because the Super Luzon class sacrificed part of the flight deck area in order to achieve the function of submergence.
Its flight deck is only 220 meters long and 40 meters wide, slightly smaller than the 40,000-ton Wasp-class amphibious assault ship.
"No problem at all." Mori Naotoshi has read the test report of Aoba Aviation's Seahawk fighter jet, and even went to Flying Fish Company in person to inspect the flight test of the Sea Ray UAV.
The Seahawk fighter is actually a light fighter designed by Aoba Aviation based on the technology of the Eagle fighter and drawing on the vertical take-off and landing fighter technology of Russia and America.
It can take off and land on the Super Luzon-class and Luzon-class amphibious assault ships, and its payload reaches 4.3 tons, its maximum speed can reach Mach 2.8, and its cruising range is about 3,200 kilometers.
This type of fighter is currently in the process of debugging and development. A total of 12 initial models have been produced, of which 6 have been deployed on the Medan amphibious assault ship.
The Sea Manta UAV has entered the mass production stage, and the Luzon Navy is currently equipped with a total of 85 of them.
This drone adopts a lot of bionic designs. In low-speed cruising state, its range can reach 6,000 kilometers, and it can fly close to the sea surface.
