Chapter 857 Marine Environment

Yunnan Province, Kun City.

Panshan Hospital.

Liu Tao was sweating and nervously holding Zhu Lin's hand.

Last night, Zhu Lin's stomach began to hurt a little. Feeling that she might give birth, Liu Tao immediately sent Zhu Lin to Panshan Hospital to go through the admission procedures.

Even though he had four children, Liu Tao was still very nervous at this time.

With the current medical conditions of Panshan Group, giving birth is actually not dangerous, but Liu Tao is still nervous.

He did not choose a caesarean section, but chose a natural birth.

Zhu Lin kept screaming in pain, his face was pale and covered with sweat.

Giving birth is really a walk through the gates of hell.

Not to mention that Zhu Lin is now a mature mother, giving birth is not like before.

Liu Tao's heart was broken, and he could only encourage Zhu Lin constantly.

Finally, the baby was born.

The loud cry of the baby represents the arrival of a new life.

"It's twins, congratulations!" The nurse congratulated with a happy face.

Two new lives came into the world ten minutes apart.

Two nurses held the two newly born babies and began to clean them. Then they put on clothes and diapers and wrapped them in blankets. There was a piece of paper on the blanket with information on the specific time of birth, weight, and height.

After everything was done, they were transferred to the observation room.

Zhu Lin was exhausted, but she exuded the aura of maternal love.

Liu Tao and the nurses brought the babies close to her to learn to breastfeed, one baby on each side.

Liu Tao looked at the two little lives with joy in his heart.

These are his own children.

This kind of touching new life is joyful no matter how many times you experience it.

More than an hour later, they were transferred from the observation room to the confinement center. During the confinement period, Zhu Lin will be in the confinement center.

The other four children were handed over to Chen Fang and others.

Liu Tao personally handled the birth certificates for the two children.

As for the names of the children, they had already thought about it before. The boy was named Liu Yiyong and the girl was named Liu Dini, which means "Nizi" in Liu Tao's name, and also means that this is Liu Tao's youngest daughter, the last daughter.

After getting the birth certificates of the children, Liu Tao took the initiative to pay the fine, which was a total of 14.689 million yuan.

The birth of the two children made Liu Tao full of joy, and he was happy to pay the fine.

It was not until Zhu Lin was out of confinement that Liu Tao went on a business trip.

An island southeast of Qiongdao, about 300 kilometers away from Qiongdao, this island is about 1,950 meters long from east to west, 1,350 meters wide from north to south, with an area of ​​2.13 square kilometers and an average altitude of 5 meters.

This was originally a fishing village with a population of several hundred people, who made a living by fishing.

In the sky, a "Ray Sculpture" helicopter was flying and hovering in the air.

On the helicopter, Liu Tao held a telescope and looked at the runway that had been built on the island below.

As a carrier-based aircraft, the Seahawk fighter needs to be tested in the marine environment and undergo a series of tests to determine its performance.

Panshan Group selected three sea areas to build runways as test flight sites.

Now the island has been built.

The project manager, Fei Tong, is reporting the situation to Liu Tao.

In order to build this project, Panshan Group has invested hundreds of millions.

Sand, gravel, cement, etc. must be transported from land, and the cost is much higher than building directly on land.

In addition to the runway, radar stations, meteorological stations, etc. have also been built.

"The project has been completed and is ready for test flights." Fei Tong said.

Liu Tao nodded.

The demand for the Seahawk fighter will be limited in the future, and the demand for one or two hundred aircraft is estimated to be at most.

It stands to reason that there is no need to spend so much money to build a test flight runway.

But from another perspective, these runways can also be used as take-off and landing runways for other fighters.

Any island can be regarded as an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the local area.

If it is a big island, it will be a super unsinkable aircraft carrier.

Now the test runway here has been built. The next step is for the team to move in here and collect meteorological and other data first. If the demonstration is acceptable, the ‘Sea Eagle’ fighter will come for a test flight.

So far, 12 ‘Sea Eagle’ fighters have been produced, which is not a small number.

Thailand will send carrier-based aircraft pilots to China for training next year, and become qualified carrier-based aircraft pilots before the light aircraft carrier is built and delivered to the Thai Navy.

Half an hour later, the helicopter landed on the runway.

Liu Tao attaches great importance to this place. This place is not only used as a test flight site for the ‘Sea Eagle’ fighter, but also as a test flight site for the J-7, J-8 series fighters, J-10 fighters, and J-11 fighters, to detect the performance changes of these aircraft in the marine environment.

The marine environment is different from the land environment.

Different environments have different effects on aircraft, and the performance that aircraft can exert is also different.

Not to mention the huge differences between marine and land environments, even the land environments, such as plains, hills, mountains, plateaus, and deserts, are very different and have different impacts on fighter jets.

For example, the J-11 fighter jet flew all these different environments before it was confirmed to be ready for service, even flying over Mount Everest. Only after confirming that it had strong performance in various situations, was the J-11 fighter jet allowed to serve, instead of having to go through a longer test flight and finally being approved for service step by step.

However, the J-11 fighter jet has not been tested in a complex marine environment.

Although the current J-11A fighter jet is in service and has the ability to attack the ground and the sea, it takes off and lands at land airports. It has not been tested for takeoff and landing on runways in marine environments.

The same situation also occurred on the J-10 fighter jet.

And next, this regret will be made up.

And the test flight here will also play a big role in the development of the J-11C fighter jet.

The J-11C fighter jet, as a carrier-based aircraft, is different from the J-11A fighter jet as a land-based fighter. Because the carrier-based aircraft takes off on the aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier is sailing on the sea, affected by the marine meteorological conditions and wind and waves, the aircraft carrier will shake, and the limited area of ​​the deck flight area makes it very difficult for the carrier-based aircraft to take off and land. This requires that the carrier-based aircraft have the characteristics of low center of gravity and strong anti-tilting ability. It must have better take-off and landing performance, lower landing speed and good low-speed maneuverability than land-based aircraft.

Moreover, due to the restriction of the length of the take-off deck of the aircraft carrier, the carrier-based aircraft usually takes off with the help of a catapult. During take-off, the hook of the carrier-based aircraft is connected to the catapult. Under the combined effect of its own engine thrust and the ejection force, the carrier-based aircraft will unhook and fly off the deck after sliding for dozens of meters. During landing, the carrier-based aircraft uses its own arresting hook and the arresting cable on the aircraft carrier to force stop after only a short distance of sliding. This requires the carrier-based aircraft to have a sturdy body structure and landing gear with excellent shock absorption performance to ensure that it can withstand the acceleration of catapult take-off and the impact load during landing.

Another thing is that the carrier-based aircraft needs to have a folding structure. The design of the folding structure is mainly to reduce the size of the carrier-based aircraft so that more carrier-based aircraft can be placed and stored in a limited space. In addition, there are mooring devices on the fuselage of carrier-based aircraft, which can be used to tie the aircraft to the ship to prevent the aircraft from overturning when the ship is shaking violently.

Finally, the corrosion resistance of carrier-based aircraft must be stronger.

Now, selecting islands to build runways in three sea areas is only the first step. Next year, a merchant ship will be converted into an aircraft carrier, so as to prepare for the development of carrier-based aircraft models for the future J-10 and J-11 fighters.
