Now that Zeppelin was dragged back to the Kiel Shipyard to continue construction, Yade stayed on the aircraft carrier every day and personally directed the subsequent construction work. On this day, Yade came to Zeppelin as usual, and he met the supervisor who came to find him. Of course, Li Mo looked for him to take off the deck to leap.

"Hi! Dr. Yad, I'm asking you for something, I hope it won't bother you."

"Oh! You don't have to be so polite to the supervisor. Just say something if you have something to do."

Li Mo took out a cigarette and left Dr. Yade, and lit a match to help Yade light it. The two smokers began to have a pleasant conversation while sucking the clouds and spitting out mist:

"Dr. Yad, look at the flight deck of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier's bow is more than ten meters off. This distance of more than ten meters is not a huge waste for the aircraft carrier. I want to use it. We lay a flight deck with a slope of eighteen degrees for this gap and extend the hull three or five meters. In this way, our flight deck will be extended by about twenty meters. This slope will also allow the carrier-based aircraft to gain greater lift when taking off. What do you think?"

"ON, ON, this cannot be modified. Our design is already very perfect."

Yade was very superstitious about his design. After listening to Li Mo's suggestions, he quickly shook his head and denied Li Mo's suggestions. Is Li Mo so easy to give up? Of course not. As long as Li defaults to being right, he will stick to it to the end. Moreover, ski jumping and takeoff has been proven to be a very useful way to get carrier-based aircraft to take off in later generations.

"Dr. Yad, I would like to ask, if we lay the deck on the bow of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, will it affect the structure of the hull?"

"That won't be."

"Since it will not affect the structure of the hull, and it is not difficult to lay this leap flight deck. I will help you solve the funds needed, so please ask Dr. Yade to help me lay this flight deck. If practice proves that this leap flight deck is useless, we are cutting it off. Do you think?"

"That's it! Your plan is enough. Carrier-based aircraft will certainly gain greater lift when taking off on this sloped deck. However, this slope requires a lot of calculation and practice. I think we can build a simulated site at a military airport in Kiel first."

"Ah! OK, OK, Dr. Yad, you are such a very knowledgeable person..."

The Germans are world-famous. The eighteenth degree ski jump that Li Mo mentioned is nothing in front of Yad. Dr. Yad must use a lot of calculations and practice to calculate the ski jump angle. Li Mo also had preconceived ideas. Later ski jump takeoffs were jets, and the plane was much larger. You should know that the longer the plane, the smaller the ski jump slope, otherwise the front and back of the plane would be rubbed against the ski jump flight deck, which would likely cause the high-speed sprinting aircraft to be destroyed and killed.

"Krupp's kid, don't flatter me, just say what else you have to ask for!"

Yad is actually a traditional aristocrat, but they are just small aristocrats. They are not very famous in Germany. Yad and the Krupp family still have some friendship. Because many of the cannons on the warships are produced by the Krupp Company, Yad often deals with Krupp. Yad and Krupp have a good personal relationship. Yad often hug Li Mo when he was young! Otherwise, Li Mo would not be able to convince Yad, a rigorous engineer so easily.

"Haha, I can't hide it from Uncle Yad. I think the air defense firepower of the Zeppelin aircraft carrier is not enough."

"What? Bastard boy, you actually said that the Zeppelin aircraft carrier has insufficient air defense firepower. It has 6 twin 105mm air defense guns, 11 twin 37mm air defense guns, and 28 20mm machine guns. With such powerful air defense firepower, you actually said that the air defense firepower is insufficient. It's really unreasonable."

"Uncle Yade, I think the four 150mm double-mounted naval guns are useless. Do we still have to use aircraft carriers to engage in naval artillery battles with the enemy? This is purely a death-seeking act. We might as well replace these naval guns with sixteen 105mm double-mounted air defense guns."

"You really plan to do this, aren't you afraid that that old guy Redell will punish you?"

"Haha, Uncle Yade, do you think I'm a person who is afraid of trouble? Just make the corrections and I'll take responsibility."

"In fact, these eight 150mm double-mounted naval guns were also required by the Navy. They did not have one before. I also knew that installing naval guns on aircraft carriers was a redundant move, but this cost..."

"I will solve it, and I promise to solve this cost problem at one time."

"Okay! You guy..."

"Yeah...thank you Uncle Yade."

Whether it is emotional or other reasons, Kiel Shipyard did not resist Li Mo's decision, but designed and added a ski jump takeoff deck according to Li Mo's requirements. It is not difficult to lay a flight deck. It can be cut off directly without any changes to the hull and has no impact on the hull. This is also the main reason why Li Mo's suggestion was not boycotted by Kiel Shipyard. Of course, the ski jump angle now still needs practice and calculation. Once this is finished, the ski jump flight deck can be laid immediately.

There are many benefits of ski jumping, which can make fighter jets take off with a larger load. Although the body of the piston aircraft is light, as a torpedo bomber or an aircraft like JU87, this ski jump takeoff is very important.

What is the effect of this ski jump takeoff? It will take until the Zeppelin is built and carried out in navigation practice before it can be known.

As for anti-aircraft artillery, Zeppelin has the largest number in the world. Zeppelin's 37mm and 20mm anti-aircraft artillery are arranged on both sides of the ship's side, extending out of the hull like a human ear. This layout has two benefits. The first is that it does not occupy the precious space of the aircraft carrier. Another advantage is that the muzzles of these anti-aircraft artillery can be aimed at the water surface, which means that the descent angle of these anti-aircraft artillery reaches minus 30 degrees. Don't underestimate this descent angle. The anti-aircraft artillery on both sides of Zeppelin can attack underwater objects a hundred meters away from you, such as torpedoes.

What ships fear most is the murderous aura of torpedoes. Even if they are a Besmer-class battleship, their armor thickness reaches 380 mm, they can't withstand a few torpedoes, let alone thin hulls like aircraft carriers. Enemy air strikes large ships generally use torpedoes such as torpedoes. So many anti-aircraft artillery fires at the torpedo blocks fired from the torpedo, which is definitely torpedoes attacked by the destruction. As for the refraction of water, as long as there is a little training, the quality of the German Navy is not bad.

The threat underwater was reduced by more than half, and then it came from the air. Zeppelin's hedgehog-like anti-aircraft artillery would let the enemy planes coming to the air strike know what a fire net is. Of course, the aviation bombs falling from the air cannot be blocked. The problem is that this requires the enemy's ability to fly over the Zeppelin aircraft carrier, and the bombing height must be maintained below 2,000 kilometers. It is difficult for high-altitude bombing to hit the target, especially moving ships.
