Blue Mercury.[

004, February 27, Guangming Calendar.

After calculating the time, it has been almost a year and a half since I came from the south to the north.

The darkest days have passed, the sunshine has been delayed, the temperature has slowly risen, the Arctic ice sheet has stopped extending and began to shrink.

Since the ice cap was completely stable, some time ago, the morning of the past day ordered the fleet to be moved to a nearby large bay, preparing to stay in this bay for three months until the ice cap basically melted and then collectively moved to the south.

There is the command center of the Xia bridge.

Lin Zhenxing said excitedly: "Commander, we have recently discovered a very surprising phenomenon. A huge crack appeared at the waist of the pyramid-shaped building on the God King Continent. Because the waves that hit the pyramid were on average hundreds of meters high, the crack was expanding."

Tianming looked at the satellite pictures and found that there was indeed a horizontal crack at the waist of the pyramid hundreds of meters away from the top. In the high-definition pictures, you can see tens of thousands of dense heads, trying hard to repair the crack, but how can humans compete for natural disasters?

A huge wave came, and hundreds of people were swept away by the huge waves every time.

Lin Zhenxing continued: "I don't know what's going on recently. The average height of the waves near the equator has increased from 500 meters to more than 1,000 meters. The God King Continent is near 45 degrees north latitude. The big waves there are casually hundreds of meters high. This kind of waves continue to slap on the pyramid. In my opinion, it won't take long to go, the pyramid will definitely be washed away by the flood!"

Astronomers have said before that the orbits of the Barren Star and Blue Mercury are constantly approaching. At present, the straight-line distance between the two is less than 4 million kilometers. When you look up at the sky, you can see the tall mountains and craters on the Barren Star clearly. Even a volcano erupts somewhere on the Barren Star, which can be appreciated by ordinary telescopes.

Now is the four years of doomsday. There are only a few months left before the most turbulent doomsday, when the floods are the most turbulent, the huge waves on the sea will become bigger and bigger, and the waves more than ten meters high are just like playing tricks. Not worth mentioning. Even in the Arctic ice cap area, there are also big waves that are twenty or thirty meters high.

The reason why Tianming transferred the fleet from the first line bay to the new bay is that the waves are too big.

"It's best to break down, so I'll save you my way to deal with them. But you still have to keep a close eye on it. If the Tower of the God King really collapses, tell me immediately!"

Lin Zhenxing nodded and said, "I know."

...

After waiting for a few days, the base finally transported all the equipment needed for tomorrow.

These devices are electronic equipment and several weapon systems that need to be installed on new warships.

This includes a large number of sensors, controllers and optical cables.

A warship must be fast command and flexible to use, and an advanced control center is essential.

Just like the human brain. Only under the command of the "brain" can people complete various actions such as eating, walking, learning, etc. and make correct judgments.

Warships also need a "brain". This brain can make judgments through information transmitted from the eyes (radar, photoelectric meter), transmit signals to hands and feet (navigation guns, missile systems), and then perform defense, attack and other actions, such as making arms and fingers, attack and defense.

If the "brain" of a warship is advanced enough, just like a person with an IQ of 200, it is extremely easy to defeat some people with an IQ of 60, 80, 100. Of course, if this person with an IQ of 200 is a little bigger and his muscles are a little more developed, it will almost form a crush on some people with a low IQ and weak body.

Sensors are nerve endings, optical fibers are nerve endings, and controllers are reflection endings. With the central command system, the entire warship can become a terrifying information killer.

It is said that the Aegis system installed on the Ticonderoga-class destroyer in the United States uses a total length of optical fibers exceeding 100 kilometers, countless sensors, and the construction complexity is far greater than that of ordinary warships.

After bringing thousands of tons of equipment from the base, Tianming also encountered construction difficulties.

The high-tech warship he wanted to build had no hardware problems and could be built at any time. However, the software system was too complicated, even similar to a new aerospace aircraft carrier. Thousands of equipment in the warship must be incorporated into a network to achieve flexible control. Programmers must consider all aspects of the problem and ensure that no errors can be made. The difficulty can be imagined.

The programmers also brought them, with thousands of engineers specializing in the research and development of warship command and control systems and data link systems. According to Secretary He, the ASCHEN system used on the 055 destroyer that the country is about to launch is developed by them, and their professional capabilities are unquestionable.

The warships manufactured by Tianming have simply added two equipment: nuclear power and electromagnetic guns, and there is no problem integrating them into the ASUS system.

"Since that's the case, I hope they live up to their expectations."

All of these people are placed in the sea city.

...

Someone has solved the software problem, and only the hardware needs to be manufactured that tomorrow.

The entire construction of the warship was carried out in the supernatural factory in the supernatural space, and about 5,000 Earthling engineers and 500 Blue Star liaison officers were invested.

According to the experience of manufacturing the last aerospace aircraft carrier, Tianming did not manufacture the warship hull at one time this time, but adopted the "modular" assembly method. According to the function, the warship was first divided into several modules such as power, radar, missile, anti-submarine, and naval guns. The modules were produced by the "building blocks" method, and then assembled together, and the efficiency was improved very quickly.

Not only that, the construction method of "module first and then whole" ensures the high cohesion of each module. When integrating, the interface and the control system can be matched, which reduces the coupling between each module and greatly improves the stability and reliability of the system.

The more complex the structure, the more clear the division of labor is. Although it is convenient to form one time, there are always some inadequate considerations. If problems arise, sometimes they can’t find them.

The module assembly method looks slower in terms of speed, but once there is a problem, it is easy to know where it appears, and troubleshooting is very convenient. Overall, the efficiency of this method is much higher than that of one-time molding.

Tianming sighed: "High-tech is not as simple as I imagined. I alone cannot build a super warship. In terms of technology, I need tens of thousands of people to work for me."

...

Ten days later, the new warship was successfully launched.

The general data are as follows—

Warship model: Not named yet

Captain: 192.8 meters

Width: 26.8 meters

Full load displacement: 18,400 tons

Endurance: 100,000 nautical miles or more

Speed: 38 knots

Drain depth: 9.8 meters

In addition, the weapons and equipment on new warships

The general information is as follows—

(1) Electromagnetic gun system

The fore deck of the hull has two 155mm caliber electromagnetic guns in series layout, with accelerating barrel length of 30 meters and a power of 60 megawatts. It can launch a projectile weighing 30kg out of the bore at a speed of 2.6km/s. The maximum range is 220 kilometers. The turret is rotatable. The barrel can be adjusted. The firing angle is -5°-90°, with almost no dead corners.

In addition to the two electromagnetic guns on the front deck, there is also a 155mm caliber electromagnetic gun on the rear deck hangar platform to make up for the fire gap.

(2) Laser Weapon

This is an active strike platform. For stealth performance, it does not appear on the deck normally. Once it is put into use, the deck next to the electromagnetic gun will automatically open. The laser weapon platform rises and can be put into combat within 1 minute. The high-energy killing beam with a power of up to 50 megawatts is emitted, with a range of nearly 30 kilometers.

Similarly, there is one on the front and rear decks of the laser emission platform, two in total, without any blind spots.

(3) Missile system

It is mainly a comprehensive vertical missile launch system that can accommodate four different missiles, air defense, anti-ship, ground and air. The number of launch boxes is 128, all located on the front deck of the hull. Under the guidance of eight-sided active phased array radar on the walls of the warship superstructure, it can strike targets from various places without blind spots. Within a range of 300 kilometers, it can monitor 1,000 targets and lock 100 of them. It can attack these targets at a speed of 8 missiles per second, and has strong saturation attack ability.

(4) Carrier-based helicopters and anti-submarine systems

There is a 26x40-meter helicopter take-off and landing platform at the back of the hull, which can take off and land up to two small and medium-sized helicopters at the same time. Inside the building, there is a 26x36-meter large hangar, which is larger than two basketball courts. After folding the helicopter wings, it can accommodate up to 2-4 helicopters.

The hull is deep into the underwater part, and there are 8 submarine-launched torpedo launch devices on both sides of the hull. Under the detection of two high-precision sonar instruments on the bow and stern of the ship, any lurking targets within 80 kilometers of underwater will be discovered by the sonar instrument. The ship is equipped with a total of 36 guided torpedoes with a range of 120 kilometers and 120 deep-water bombs (can be increased or decreased), which is more than enough to deal with the threat of underwater lurking.

(5) Power system and operating system

The small nuclear reactor has a rated power of 300 megawatts, which is 1.5 times the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 100,000 tons. In special circumstances, the reactor power can be increased to 600 megawatts, which is completely sufficient. The nuclear fuel is nuclear energy No. 1, and the nuclear fuel carried at one time can be used by warships for 50 years.

The fully electric operating system, including motor propulsion, network communication, detection and navigation, etc., consumes a total power of more than 50 megawatts when operating at full load, which can be regarded as a power-consuming monster.

The warship has been assembled, but it still needs to be debugged for a long time, and the control system has not been developed yet. If you want to see this warship galloping freely on the sea, you will have to wait at least two or three months.

Tianming's work is almost completed, and all he has to do is wait. When the software engineers develop a good control system so that warships can be fully used, then he will build a few warships in the future.

The naval personnel who were garrisoning in the warships assisted engineers in testing the various systems had also been decided, namely the naval naval sailors on the Navy, the Wenchang and Huangzhou.
