Chapter 115 Zhang Tian wants to develop an amphibious assault ship?
Aircraft carrier?
Zhang Tian's words immediately attracted Minister Wang's attention.
How could he not know about aircraft carriers?
Only a few countries have this thing at present.
He wants it too.
An aircraft carrier is a large surface ship that uses carrier-based aircraft as its main combat weapons. It is an indispensable weapon for the navy and a symbol of a country's comprehensive national strength. It has extremely important strategic value.
They don't have this yet.
There is no idea to build it because there are too many technologies involved.
With their strength, they can't accomplish it.
However, the Eagles have this aircraft carrier now, the Russians have it too, and even the defeated Chickens had it before.
Zhang Tian suddenly said this, and Minister Wang thought of all the magical things Zhang Tian had done, and a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart.
Could this guy really build an aircraft carrier?
After all, he often gives people unexpected surprises.
Minister Wang looked at Zhang Tian with sharp eyes.
He said, "Xiao Zhang, you told me about aircraft carriers, do you have the technology in this area?
Zhang Tian slowly shook his head: "Leader, I can't build an aircraft carrier with my current ability."
"Oh, I thought..."
Minister Wang was somewhat disappointed when he heard this, but it was only for a moment.
It was also within his expectations.
He was just in a momentary mood just now. If Zhang Tian told him that he was really capable of producing, he would not believe it.
This is simply a fantasy.
How could Zhang Tian possibly have this kind of skills?
Zhang Tian naturally didn't want to produce an aircraft carrier. He just used this as a starting point to talk to Minister Wang about maritime power.
This is something he has wanted to do for a long time.
As for aircraft carrier technology, Zhang Tian does have it in his system, but it has not been unlocked yet.
He doesn't have enough points.
Zhang Tian has looked at it and found that if he wants to produce aircraft carriers, he must produce attack ships, destroyers and submarines before he can unlock it.
Except for aircraft carriers, everything else could have been produced in the system long ago.
The reason why there has been no movement is because of the fuel problem, and Zhang Tian has never mentioned this matter.
What’s the point of producing it if the basic problems haven’t been solved?
Besides, whether it is heavy oil, diesel or natural gas, these are scarce energy sources when large oil fields are not developed.
Even if it is produced, it cannot be moved at all.
There is not enough fuel.
But it's different now.
The large oil field has been successfully developed and the oil products can be refined, so now Zhang Tian's attention begins to turn to the sea.
I have to say that the Rabbit’s maritime power is really weak now.
As for today's ships, they can only be described as backward.
The number is small, mainly receiving a small number of ships left over by Guangtoubian, as well as some requisitioned merchant ships and fishing boats.
Yes, there are fishing boats too.
These modified ships were of complicated models, outdated performance and dilapidated.
The attack power is also weak.
As for the quality of the personnel, they are all drawn from various branches of the military.
It's like a mixed army.
It can even be said that there is no perfect system now.
What Zhang Tian wanted to talk about was the amphibious assault ship.
That’s right, it’s the Type 75 amphibious assault ship that is known as a small aircraft carrier.
Although not as good as an aircraft carrier.
But nowadays, it is completely a force at sea.
Even if we encounter an American aircraft carrier, we can still fight.
This equipment that spans several decades is in no way inferior to the equipment that the Eagle Sauce has now.
If that doesn't work, anti-ship ballistic missiles will be deployed.
In that case, the Americans would have to run away if they saw an aircraft carrier now.
Otherwise, anti-ship ballistic missiles will teach it what its nemesis is.
A perfect striking weapon.
Zhang Tian smiled and said, "Leader, I naturally don't have the ability to build an aircraft carrier right now, but what I want to tell you now is that I want to study a marine equipment called an amphibious assault ship and a destroyer."
"Amphibious assault ship?" Minister Wang looked at Zhang Tian in surprise and asked, "What is this?"
"Leader, this amphibious assault ship is a maritime equipment that can play a powerful role both at sea and on land."
After Zhang Tian finished speaking, he took out a drawing of the appearance of the Model 75 from his bag.
"Leader, this is the amphibious assault ship I was talking about. Look at the data. The ship is 250 meters long, 30 meters wide, and has a displacement of about 4 tons."
"This displacement is more than 13,000 tons higher than the displacement of the Essex-class aircraft carrier of the United States."
Minister Wang took it and looked at it, then said uncertainly, "Xiao Zhang, if you encounter an aircraft carrier like the Eagle Sauce, can you escape?"
Zhang Tian smiled.
He said, "Leader, I am not exaggerating. As far as the equipment capabilities of this amphibious assault ship I told you are concerned, it is even better than that of the Essex-class aircraft carrier."
"We can carry thirty of our helicopters directly on it, so there is no doubt about our aviation capabilities."
"In addition, it is equipped with a variety of advanced weapon systems. It is equipped with two short-range air defense missile systems, which can effectively intercept if the enemy launches missiles at us."
"We also equipped it with a close-in weapon system, which, in conjunction with a new rapid-response fire control radar system, can intercept and destroy it with intensive firepower when facing close-range enemy air threats or missile attacks."
Minister Wang was somewhat stunned.
Is it really that powerful?
Can it also intercept and attack?
Zhang Tian looked at Minister Wang with some amusement. He was not exaggerating. With the current equipment of the Type 75 amphibious assault ship, fighting against the Eagle fighter jets would be a piece of cake.
Don't think that being called an aircraft carrier is impressive.
Can these be compared with the equipment fifty years from now?
Definitely not.
Minister Wang looked at Zhang Tian in confusion.
He was a little confused. One moment he said it was impossible to build an aircraft carrier, and the next moment he said it was more powerful than the Eagle Sauce's aircraft carrier. What on earth was he trying to say?
"Xiao Zhang, we have been thinking about how to improve our maritime power, but can we produce what you are talking about with our capabilities?"
Zhang Tianteng stood up suddenly.
Seriously said: "Leader, if it was a year ago, I might not have dared to tell you this, because it involves too many technologies."
"But after a year of development, our Yangcheng factory has grown in terms of both materials and technology. Our current technology is fully sufficient to support this research and development."
"With the accumulation of these technologies, we can open up the way for the development of aircraft carriers in the future."
Minister Wang nodded slowly.
Since Zhang Tian has this confidence, he naturally has to help out.
What if it really succeeds?
He said, "Tell me, what support do you want?"
