Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

Chapter 423: Poor Country Aircraft Carrier: A 4-A-B Assault Ship of More than 2 tons

After hanging up the phone with Xu Dafei, Xu Huasheng directly turned on his computer, opened the professional design software and started to get busy.

Xu Huasheng wants to design a large ship, a large ship with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons. As for how much is left, let the outside world guess.

This time, the warship Xu Huasheng wants to come up with will also be very famous in the future, and that is Huaxia Future's famous 076 amphibious assault ship.

Although this ship is called an amphibious assault ship, other countries prefer to call it a drone aircraft carrier. Because China installed an electromagnetic catapult on this ship to launch heavy drones, the combat effectiveness is quite violent. In fact, this thing can not only eject drones, but also standard aircraft carrier-based aircraft can eject and land.

To put it bluntly, this ship can be used as a medium-sized aircraft carrier, but in the future China will have its own 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, so there is no need to build such a small aircraft carrier. So this ship was turned into a drone aircraft carrier. Many stealth drones took off and landed on it, and its combat effectiveness was quite violent.

However, when Xu Huasheng designed it, he did not install an electromagnetic ejection system on the ship. After all, this ship is mainly for external sales, and the electromagnetic ejection technology cannot be leaked.

This ship is a large amphibious assault button. It adopts an external floating deck design. Like an aircraft carrier, this increases the deck area and the capacity of carrier-based aircraft.

Xu Huasheng also optimized the internal design. Simply remove the dock, remove the amphibious capability of the amphibious assault ship, and design the ship into a real aircraft carrier.

What kind of amphibious attack capability does an aircraft carrier need? As an aircraft carrier, its only purpose is to carry more fighter jets. Whether this ship is sold to Pakistan or to other countries, they will not be willing to use it as an amphibious ship, but as an aircraft carrier.

Xu Huasheng became busy and began to modify 076 according to his own ideas. The idea is very simple, try to make the ship cheap to build, cheap to use, and simple to maintain.

Not only that, in order to reduce costs and facilitate maintenance. Xu Huasheng even replaced the gas turbine. Directly replaced by diesel engine.

Although the performance of diesel engines is not as good as that of gas turbines, they are not as advanced as gas turbines. However, diesel engines are simple to maintain, strong and durable, and cheap.

What Xu Huasheng has to do is to make this ship cheap enough. Only when it is cheap can we get dumplings on it.

The number of carrier-based aircraft carried by one ship is relatively small, so what about five ships, or ten ships. The cost of this thing is much cheaper than that of an aircraft carrier. For the money to build one large aircraft carrier, you can probably build several of this thing.

However, one large aircraft carrier may not be able to defeat several such ships, not to mention that many countries cannot afford large aircraft carriers, but they can bite the bullet and buy one back.

With such a ship as the core, a small aircraft carrier formation can be built to defeat the navies of many countries around the world.

Not to mention ordinary countries, even Britain, the United States and Russia in the Wuchang Committee dare to take a tough stance.

After all, the displacement of this ship at full load is about 50,000 tons. In terms of displacement, the displacement of this ship is stronger than the Charles de Gaulle nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that France will serve in the future.

Russia’s current aircraft carrier Kuznetsov has a displacement of less than 50,000 tons.

The displacement is large enough and there are enough carrier-based aircraft. Under Xu Huasheng's design, this amphibious landing ship has a very powerful carrier-based aircraft lineup.

This ship can simultaneously accommodate 32 S-14C fighter jets that can take off and land vertically, two early warning aircraft modified from Z-26 helicopters, four anti-submarine helicopters and search and rescue helicopters.

As far as this combat lineup is concerned, if this ship is fully equipped, in this era, except for the American aircraft carrier, which cannot be defeated, he dares to go head-to-head with the aircraft carriers of all other countries.

Not only that, the service life of this ship is also relatively long. Now it can carry third-generation fighter jets, and in the future it can directly carry fourth-generation stealth fighter jets that take off and land vertically.

For example, if Pakistan gets two of these ships, it will buy stealth fighter jets from China that can take off and land vertically in the future. If India does not have fourth-generation aircraft by then, then Pakistan will be able to ride on India with just these two ships.

After all, the combat effectiveness of fourth-generation aircraft is not comparable to that of third-generation aircraft. Now that Saxo Airlines has developed a third-generation fighter jet, the next thing they need to do is to develop a fourth-generation stealth fighter, a single-engine stealth fighter like the F35 that can take off and land vertically.

Moreover, this aircraft will mainly be exported in the future. As for China's own stealth fighter, it is a more advanced and more powerful twin-engine stealth fighter. Even the carrier-based aircraft is also a twin-engine medium stealth fighter.

Saxo Airlines has a clear positioning of its fighter jet products. That is, the performance of foreign trade products is one level lower than that of Huaxia's own products, but it is no worse than foreign products of the same period, and at the same time, it is cost-effective. The main focus in the future is to compete for food in the international arms trade market.

Xu Huasheng became busy, constantly improving the design of this battleship.

With this medium-sized aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 50,000 tons and a powerful third-generation fighter jet that can take off and land vertically, Xu Huasheng really could not find a reason for Pakistan to refuse.

Whether it is an aircraft carrier or a third-generation aircraft, this is something Pakistan wants very much. Although Pakistan previously purchased some third-generation fighter jets F16 from the United States, the United States directly froze the F16 transaction due to nuclear weapons issues in the past few years.

Not only can some of the F16s that have been produced cannot be delivered to Pakistan, but Pakistan has no way to get back the money it has spent.

This period can be said to be the most difficult moment for the Pakistan Air Force. Because the Indian Air Force has more and more advanced fighter jets, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for Pakistan to obtain advanced fighter jets.

In the past, China couldn't help even if it wanted to. After all, it was also weak in this area.

But things are different now. It is impossible for the J-14 fighter jets to be sold to Pakistan in a short time. But Saxo Airlines’ S-16 can be sold to Pakistan. And there is no limit, you can give as much as you want, and the price is cheaper than buying F in Pakistan.

At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the S-14 is better than that of the F16. It is cheap, has good performance, is not limited in quantity, and is a product of China, the big brother. This is simply a good thing to give as a pillow when you are sleepy.

Pakistan and China have very good relations and are known as the Pakistan Railway. Although countries use interests to protect each other. But from the perspective of the relationship between the two countries in the next few decades, Pakistan can really be regarded as China's iron buddy.

At the same time, Pakistan can also greatly contain India, so the stronger Pakistan is, the less pressure there will be on China. Appropriately increasing Pakistan's strength will do more good than harm to China.
