Chapter 2987, Honeycomb Air Carrier (2)

Under the leadership of Jiang Zhan, Luo Ji and the others took a good tour inside the 'Hive' aircraft carrier and finally arrived at the general command room.

This general command room is located at the core of the 'Hive' aircraft carrier. Judging from its specific location, it should be the safest place on the entire aircraft carrier.

With all personnel in place, next, this 'Hive' aircraft carrier will conduct a practical exercise.

According to the characteristics of their civilization of all realms, this 'hive' aircraft carrier is of course not the original version, but incorporates the technology of all races of their civilization of all realms.

The power system uses a magic power furnace, and the entire power is definitely more powerful than the power in the original design.

The holder of the airport was opened, the magic power furnace was running, and with the slight vibration of the ship's body, the 'Hive' aircraft carrier slowly left the port.

In order to avoid causing a commotion and affecting the people on the ground, the "Hive" aircraft carrier began to increase its flight altitude at full speed after leaving the port, and flew above the clouds in a short period of time.

The whole process seemed stress-free and extremely smooth.

After a short period of flight to prove its flight capabilities, the entire actual combat exercise quickly entered the second stage.

"Each takeoff bay, report the situation!"

"From take-off bays No. 1 to No. 9, all 'Swarm' unmanned combat aircraft are on standby!"

"From the take-off bays No. 10 to 18, all 'Swarm' unmanned combat aircraft are on standby!"

"The take-off bay from the 19th to the 27th..."

Each group of take-off warehouses is confirmed by specialized personnel.

While making the report, in order to facilitate Luo Ji's viewing, they also directly brought up the built-in images of each takeoff bay.

In this way, Luo Ji, who was in the general command room, could clearly see the image of the 'swarm' unmanned fighter jets taking off from the take-off bay.

After confirming that everything was on standby, Gawain turned to look at Luo Ji, obviously waiting for him to give an order.

Luo Ji didn't hesitate and gave the order directly...

"Attack!"

The order was issued, and in each take-off bay that received the order simultaneously, the 'Swarm' unmanned fighter jets began to move immediately.

Almost as soon as it officially entered the runway of the take-off bay, the landing gear at the bottom of the aircraft body was quickly retracted. After activation, the entire take-off bay, with its own magnetic levitation stand, actually allowed the 'swarm' unmanned fighter jets to enter directly.

In a suspended state, coupled with the crazy push of the rear propeller, the speed of the unmanned fighter jet soared in a very short period of time.

Finally, with a muffled sound of "boom", the "Swarm" drone fighter instantly broke through the sound barrier and flew out.

Thirty-six 'Swarm' unmanned combat aircraft flew out completely at the same time. After breaking away from the aircraft carrier, under the control of the intelligent combat system, they kept forming formations in the air, demonstrating their ultimate performance.

For now, Luo Ji was extremely satisfied with the 'Hive' aircraft carrier.

However, this does not mean that this 'Hive' aircraft carrier is perfect.

"Jiang Zhan, according to the current design of the 'Hive' aircraft carrier, it shouldn't be able to carry Black Hawk fighters, right?"

Faced with Luo Ji's question, Jiang Zhan did not dare to hide it and nodded honestly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the size of the Black Hawk fighter is much larger than that of the 'Swarm' unmanned fighter aircraft, and the take-off bay of the 'Hive' air carrier and the entire hangar transportation system are all based on '

The design was based on the swarm of unmanned combat aircraft."

At this point, Jiang Zhan's voice paused.

After all, this is the first air carrier of their civilization, so when developing and manufacturing it, Jiang Zhan followed the drawings as much as possible.

As for subsequent attempts at large-scale transformation, he plans to do so after accumulating a certain amount of experience.

But this doesn't mean that he hasn't thought about it.

In fact, he already has some ideas in his mind.

"If we want to carry Black Hawk fighter jets, maybe we can try to change the design of one of the hangars and a set of take-off bays, so that that hangar and take-off bay are specifically responsible for taking off Black Hawk fighter jets."

"Alternatively, an air carrier can be built specifically to take off Black Hawk fighter jets."

The two methods proposed by Jiang Zhan are actually feasible, but they also have shortcomings.

For example, the first approach is to change the design of a group of take-off bays and a hangar specifically for taking off Black Hawk fighters, then the efficiency of each round of take-off of the 'swarm' unmanned fighter jets will be

It has to be lowered by a full quarter.

The impact of this ratio is very large!

In a battle involving aircraft carriers, in addition to the number of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, what determines the outcome of the war is the take-off efficiency of the carrier-based aircraft.

Whichever side takes off faster will be able to form an air formation of sufficient size to suppress the opponent and expand its advantage in the shortest time, so takeoff efficiency is very important.

Once it is transformed into a mixed-use type, the combat effectiveness of the 'Swarm' unmanned fighter aircraft will actually be relatively obviously affected.

The second method is to directly build a special-purpose aircraft carrier. It will have no impact on combat effectiveness, but it will be very expensive.

In fact, the most ideal approach would be to upgrade the hangar's transportation system and take-off bay to a device that can automatically adjust according to the type of carrier-based aircraft.

In this way, the two types of carrier-based aircraft can be completely interchangeable.

But if you want to make such a fuss, it will be a great test of scientific and technological capabilities, and it is not currently possible to do this.

In response to this problem, after Luo Ji struggled for a while, he finally decided to let Jiang Zhan later transform a "Hive" aircraft carrier specially equipped with Black Hawk fighter jets.

Luo Ji naturally had his own considerations when making such a decision.

The current mixed use type will lead to a decrease in combat power, which is naturally one of the reasons.

But in fact, at the current gold level, according to Luo Ji's current state, even if he produces a mixed type, there is probably no technology-side civilization that will be his opponent.

Therefore, his current imaginary enemy is already Caesar Trank's mechanical civilization.

Under this premise, it will directly affect the take-off efficiency of the air force's combat effectiveness and becomes crucial.

In addition, if he builds a hybrid aircraft carrier now, after the technology is improved, the early hybrid aircraft carriers will definitely face total elimination.

But the special type is different.

Even if the aircraft carrier itself lags behind a little bit in terms of technology, it can still be used as long as it is equipped with the latest "Swarm" unmanned fighter jets or Black Hawk fighter jets, and then the system is upgraded.

It can even be used as a combat force and serve for a long time.

Thinking from this perspective, spending more money now to build two special-purpose aircraft carriers will save money in the long run.
