Chapter 170 New Electromagnetic Ejection System
648 Naval Research Institute, in Dong Chen’s dormitory.
After Buck Teeth and the other three left, Dong Chen tidied up the dormitory and picked up the laptop again. Without moving the table to its original place, he sat on the bed and turned on the computer.
"No. 1, how are the computer simulation results going?" Dong Chen touched his ears and said. He has almost formed a habit now. He always touches his ears unconsciously when talking to No. 1.
"Sir, the number of laboratory simulation experiments has reached one hundred thousand one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and the success rate is 100%." The voice of No. 1 was directly transmitted from the confidential earphones to Dong Chen's ears, but there was no sound from the outside world. .
"Well, very good, what about the actual application environment simulation experiment?" Dong Chen asked while flipping through the experiment report given by No. 1.
"The number of actual application environment simulations reached 67,247 times, with a success rate of 99.9998%. The number of various extreme weather simulations reached 20,479 times, with a success rate of 99.97%. Among them, the reasons for failure Pilot errors accounted for 74.8% of the cases."
"So, this new electromagnetic catapult has reached the standard for use?" Dong Chen asked happily.
"Yes, sir, various computer simulations have been completed and can be manufactured and carried out actual experiments." No. 1 replied affirmatively, well, at least Dong Chen thought so, and he felt that No. 1's tone was positive.
As for why Dong Chen could hear the affirmation from No. 1's tone, it was actually not because No. 1 had evolved, but because Dong Chen was stunned.
This brand-new electromagnetic ejection system was not found in the radiation world, nor was it improved on the electromagnetic ejection semi-finished products in the Los Santos world, but was completely designed by him from scratch, which is considered his With the recent application of electromagnetic understanding, it is still a pleasure to turn one's own understanding into reality.
This can also be regarded as an assessment for him. He has personal experience of electromagnetic force and has learned a lot of knowledge about electromagnetism. It is not that simple to integrate them to complete a work. This is a very big thing. Something challenging, by the way, test yourself after losing the cheat device.
As a tech geek with ideals, I have to prepare my own way out. It is better to rely on others than to rely on myself. However, after all, it is my first time to do such a big project, so I feel a little unsure.
But so far, after hearing No. 1's answer, he felt that he should have succeeded. The world's top electromagnetic ejection system was completely made by him.
Electromagnetic catapults represent the future development direction of aircraft carrier catapults and have obvious advantages over steam catapults.
It uses electromagnetic force as its power source. It is not only simple in structure, small in size and light in weight, but can greatly reduce the space occupied on the ship. It does not need to be preheated in advance and can cope with various emergency situations. Moreover, the ejection force is consistent from the initial stage to the final stage, and it can also allow carrier-based aircraft to carry 8-15% more weight than using steam catapults. Its thrust output can be precisely controlled and can be "continuously variable". It can eject all types of aircraft and aircraft from a few kilograms to dozens of tons, while steam catapults can only eject up to 40 tons, and at least 5 to 6 tons. . Therefore, electromagnetic catapults are suitable for various types of carrier-based aircraft, especially drones that will be mounted on ships in the future.
It has many of the above benefits, but it requires 30% less maintenance work and operators than a steam catapult.
However, as a brand-new technology, the current high failure rate of electromagnetic catapults is a common problem encountered in the development process of new technologies, and it is not surprising at all.
The development time of electromagnetic catapults in China and the United States is basically the same. Since both are new technologies, China's starting point is not much later than that of the United States. Both sides have been studying electromagnetic catapults for many years and have conquered many key technologies. Both have built land-based electromagnetic ejection devices and conducted multiple land-based ejection tests with their respective fighter jets.
However, the experiments on land went well and the task was successfully completed. However, after the actual installation on the ship, many problems were still found. Although Hua Guoming's electromagnetic catapult has not yet been put on the ship, the super aircraft carrier in this base has already explained the problem. The progress of both sides is actually about the same, but the United States has already rushed out the aircraft carrier.
Moreover, according to the report, the electromagnetic catapult on the "Ford" will have a serious failure after an average of 240 ejections, which is far from the design requirement of more than 4,000 average failure-free intervals, and it cannot eject the aircraft with a full load. Advanced The mean time between failures of the electromagnetic arresting system is even only 20 times. Such low reliability is obviously unable to meet the needs of combat missions. This is why the "Ford" has been delayed in launching. It is understandable that the US Navy allows the "Ford" to continue sea trials.
Although there is no news about this in China, Dong Chen knows a lot about this giant here, and the base seems to have received orders from above and did not stop Dong Chen. After Dong Chen checked, Based on various test data and investigations, he felt that the actual situation of this aircraft carrier was basically the same as that of the newly launched aircraft carrier in the United States. However, this time the task he came to do was related to electromagnetic catapults, so his focus was on This aspect has been addressed, and the new electromagnetic ejection system he wants to build is to solve the existing problems.
When it comes to the testing of aircraft carriers, we have to say that Rabbit is very generous. It seems that it has indeed made a lot of money in recent years. Due to the confidentiality of this super aircraft carrier, it is impossible to conduct experiments on the sea, so Rabbit, who is getting richer and richer, simply opened up an "aircraft carrier test site in the mountains."
Why the mountains? Because it's right inside the mountain, inside the mountain to be precise. As for how it's done, it's just one word: dig.
The outside of the dock used for hull construction is not the sea as Dong Chen imagined, but a huge mountain space, which looks like a natural cave. Outside of it is the ocean. After a lot of transformation and camouflage, this natural cave has It became an aircraft carrier testing ground inside the mountain.
When the dock is filled with water, the gate that separates the construction dock and the test site will be opened, and then the aircraft carrier will be towed into the test site by a tugboat, and various experiments will be conducted. There are all kinds of artificial strong winds and artificial huge waves in the test site. Although it cannot cover everything on the sea, it is enough for the experiment.
All kinds of carrier-based electromagnetic catapult experiments are also done here. Of course, the aircraft here cannot really fly, but the test site also has its own method, which is to install various sensors on the fuselage of the carrier-based aircraft. , when the aircraft is ejected, the sensor will record various experimental data. When the data reaches the aircraft's take-off data, it means that an electromagnetic ejection is successful.
There is a special aircraft receiving and releasing facility above the test site. The experimental aircraft is connected with a safety rope, and the receiving facility is equipped with a multi-layer interception net to ensure the recovery of the aircraft after it is ejected. Similarly, the electromagnetic arresting system is also tested in this way. From here the aircraft is released and lands on the aircraft carrier. Even though sea trials were not possible, a large amount of valuable experimental data was provided for the aircraft carrier's experiments. Dong Chen was amazed by what he saw.
The strength of a country is so low!
Dong Chen also knew why the country cooperated with him so generously. He could see the leopard through the tube and see the big from the small. Such a small base could see such a big effort, let alone what such a superpower was like. .
No wonder the most common saying in China is: We do not threaten anyone, but we are not afraid of any enemy.
I owed one chapter last Sunday and made up for it today, so there are three chapters.
