129: Submitting aircraft carrier plans? B2 bomber revealed
Chapter 129: Submitting Plans for an Aircraft Carrier? Exposing the Feasibility of the B-2 Bomber?
A varyag aircraft carrier with electromagnetic catapult technology?
This idea seemed good, but Lu Ze quickly rejected it: "That doesn't seem very likely."
"There's no need to install a catapult on the varyag's ski-jump deck."
After all, the inherent 'disadvantage' of a ski-jump deck completely limited its potential. What good would it do to forcibly install an electromagnetic catapult?
The sortie efficiency might not increase much, but the failure rate and accident rate would likely rise significantly.
This would be more trouble than it's worth and not a wise move.
Lu Ze's mind suddenly conceived another plan: "However, an amphibious assault ship with an electromagnetic catapult... that would be a good choice."
"Just modify it according to the Type 076 amphibious assault ship template... that's sure to work!"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right.
After all, in terms of power and various other aspects, the 'pulsed capacitor energy storage' technology used by Da Xia in later generations absolutely crushed the 'scrap metal' on the Eagle-land ford-class aircraft carriers.
Furthermore, future Da Xia did it this way, which proves its feasibility is extremely high and it can play a huge role.
"It's just a shame I haven't obtained the 'high-rate lithium battery' technology yet."
"Without high-current power supply equipment, the effect of the electromagnetic catapult will be greatly reduced," Lu Ze sighed.
Even with only 'pulsed capacitor energy storage' technology, it could still significantly increase the power of the electromagnetic catapult and greatly reduce the probability of failure.
It wouldn't be like the 'ford-class,' where the 'medium-voltage AC power supply solution' for the electromagnetic catapult caused a powerful current to erupt with each launch, making the power supply extremely unstable and often leading to paralysis.
Even the fatal flaw of being unable to start for several days at a time frequently occurred.
However, 'pulsed capacitor energy storage' technology is not without its drawbacks; while it provides stable power for the electromagnetic catapult, it also brings a very fatal problem.
That is, because it is a single capacitor storage device, existing energy storage equipment simply cannot keep up with its consumption rate, and often after only a short period of launching, all stored energy will be exhausted.
Therefore, 'high-rate lithium battery' technology must be adopted to improve the overall efficiency and density of the electromagnetic catapult, allowing fighter jets to take off at will.
"This depends on my luck later on," he shook his head.
He could only hope to draw this technology in future lotteries, as high-rate lithium battery technology is not only involved in electromagnetic catapults.
Things like new energy vehicles, etc., all need to rely on the improvement of lithium battery technology.
He looked at the items in the system's inventory.
Previously, besides an F22 and a Boeing 777, the inventory contained less than five billion usd in gold, US dollars, and British pounds; all other technological items had already been handed over to Da Xia.
Now, two new technological items have entered the Ammunition Depot.
[System Space Item Bar: F22 fifth-generation heavy air superiority fighter, 'Yellow Wasp' amphibious assault ship * 2, ...]
'It's a pity that the weapon equipment on the Yellow Wasp wasn't copied along with it.'
'If it could have been copied too, that would have been a huge profit.'
He thought to himself, feeling a bit unsatisfied.
After all, this 'Yellow Wasp' carried a large amount of weapon equipment, including seven or eight CH-53 'Sea Stallion' transport helicopters, over ten MV-22 'Ospreys,' and several other types of helicopters and attack aircraft.
If these could have been copied as well, he could have handed them directly to Da Xia, and they would have formed combat capability almost immediately.
In fact, this would have been a dual-formation battle group formed by two 'helicopter carriers,' which would have significantly boosted the entire Da Xia Navy's strength.
Thinking of this, Lu Ze felt a headache: 'However, technology is one thing.'
'How do I hand this over to Da Xia?'
It's certainly impossible to place such a thing on land; wouldn't that be a blatant insult to intelligence?
The last time, he could barely explain the F22 and B-2 Bomber in the Gobi Desert of Northwest Province.
Even if Da Xia could simply say, 'I don't care!'
But you can't have 'amphibious assault ship' growing on land, can you? That would be treating people like fools.
No matter how much Da Xia ignored this issue, they would still sense something 'strange' about it. Wouldn't that be forcing them to open their eyes?
Placing them in a port? That also doesn't seem quite right.
'How about... placing them in a remote area within Da Xia's waters, and saying that fishermen accidentally salvaged two 'helicopter carriers'?'
Lu Ze nodded.
This method is good; it's just that going to such a remote sea area is not a simple matter.
As for whether Da Xia would find it too 'strange'?
Lu Ze didn't care about that at all. Wasn't the C-5M he left in the snow equally absurd? Did Da Xia not find anything wrong with it?
Da Xia's vast land can grow C-5M, so why can't some wild 'amphibious assault ship' emerge from the sea?
What's so strange about that!
Maybe one day, a few 'Little Boys' will pop up on Neon's land!
His thoughts drifted.
Lucy, beside him, was still curiously looking around, as if trying to discover some 'treasure.'
The two aimlessly followed the crowd on this 'Yellow Wasp,' taking photos and sightseeing.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
While Lu Ze and Lucy were visiting the Navy Open Day.
In Livermore, a large-scale operation was also underway.
However, this time the operation seemed somewhat different.
It was as if the two, having received 'Lu Ze's' three true teachings, began to discover things step by step according to the content.
'Build high walls, store abundant provisions, and slowly claim kingship!'
Buller and Parker completely implemented the plan based on this guideline and gradually began to develop second and third-tier propaganda teams.
After all, their capture was not the scary part; the scary part was delaying a rare and valuable opportunity because of this incident, which would be a heinous crime.
Therefore, even when public speaking was required, Buller had prepared various contingency plans in advance to prevent the framework he had painstakingly built from collapsing if he were to be arrested.
Moreover, their plan had also changed.
They no longer immediately spoke of changing the entire Capitalist privileged class.
"What we need to do now is to fight for the legitimate interests of our vast grassroots population!"
"We want Capitalist to pay more taxes, we want ordinary people to pay less taxes, and we want those budget allocations to go to every 'Eagle-land citizen' who deserves it."
"First, let's start from our Livermore, from our California!"
Buller said righteously to the hundreds of people in front of him.
He was also an ordinary person, and he knew what ordinary people hated the most!
This might be the most resonant point for all ordinary people at the bottom.
Why do these ordinary people earn meager profits each year, yet have to pay a large sum in 'taxes'!
Even going out to eat requires an additional tip of 12% or even 20%, with various consumption taxes and hidden taxes surrounding every Eagle-land person.
When filing taxes each year, they also have to spend thousands of usd to hire a tax officer to file their taxes, to prevent being fined into bankruptcy for missing a few usd in taxes.
But what about those Capitalist? They earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of usd in profits each year, but by donating the money to a so-called 'charity fund,' they can avoid a large amount of taxes.
They maintain a large tax team, researching every possible loophole for tax evasion.
They even let their company provide their food, clothing, housing, and transportation, only receiving a one usd salary, thereby legally 'evading taxes.' Is this reasonable?
With hundreds of millions in profits, they pay only tens of thousands of usd in taxes, with the tax ratio possibly less than a pathetic one ten-thousandth!
This, they absolutely will not accept!
"Make all Capitalist pay the taxes they should be paying!"
Instantly, this slogan echoed throughout the small town.
Buller and Parker no longer used protests and demonstrations.
Instead, they sent out various second and third-tier propaganda teams to spread the word in every street and corner of the small town.
At the same time, on the other side.
It was nighttime in Eagle-land, while it was early morning in Da Xia.
Inside the Xia Academy of Sciences, Dean's Office.
Today, the two old men were not playing chess but discussing a very important matter.
That was about the extremely Mysterious Organization, the 'Great Wall Watcher' organization!
"Old Zhang... the invitations for the National Day ceremony have already been sent out."
"Do you think their organization means to accept or refuse?" Zheng Lixing took a sip of tea, asking with a puzzled expression.
When the previous email was sent, Da Xia had already extended an invitation.
However, it seemed that the Mysterious Organization had neither any intention of accepting nor any reply refusing.
It was like a stone thrown into the sea, with no news whatsoever.
"We still cannot determine their attitude at the moment." Zhang Yuli pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "But I think they should still have some concerns."
Although Da Xia clearly stated in the email that they would invite them with the highest national courtesy and provide the highest standard of reception.
But after all, it requires face-to-face contact, which is not a decision that an organization hidden in the 'dark side' of the world can easily make.
On this point, both of them and the highest level of Da Xia were quite clear.
"There's another problem..."
Zheng Lixing's brows furrowed into a ' river' shape: "How should we deal with the B-2 Bomber, F22, and even the C-5M that we obtained?"
Based on the existing F22 and B-2 Bomber for research, Da Xia already possessed the complete design blueprints for these weapon equipment. They only needed to conduct reverse engineering based on the physical objects.
But no matter how they modify or disguise them, the new stealth bomber and new super-large strategic transport aircraft they develop will have many similarities with the B-2 Bomber. Do they also need to keep them hidden?
However, if this were to leak the possibility that Da Xia had obtained a 'B-2 Bomber,' that would be a huge flaw.
All these problems need to be considered.
"So... we need to consult with the Great Wall Watch on their intentions."
"To what extent can we expose it? Or should we absolutely not expose anything at all?" Zhang Yuli said solemnly.
If the Mysterious Organization said that not a single word could be revealed.
Then, even after Da Xia developed a new stealth bomber based on the B-2 Bomber, they would never disclose even a shred of information.
It would be kept hidden until a potential full-scale war in the future when these weapons would be deployed.
