What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 116 Reply
In the photo, Shi Juzhu looks uninhibited, dressed like a pilot and looking at the camera in a flashy way, which really has some charm.

The selected photos also highlight the landing hook at the tail of the F4F, making it visible at a glance.

In just half a day, this photo completely pushed Giant Group to a new peak.

When Giant Group mailed the photos, it also specifically stated that the aircraft was newly ordered, could fly normally, and was suitable for take-off and landing on aircraft carriers.

Although the paint job had been changed, the F4F's unique appearance was quickly recognized, and everyone soon knew that Shi Juzhu owned an F4F.

A military expert immediately interpreted it in the newspaper: This propeller plane is exactly the American carrier-based aircraft in World War II. It can operate perfectly on the spacious Varyag and is particularly easy to take off and land.

The exhaust pipe of the F4F in the photo is still emitting black smoke, indicating that this is a real aircraft - whether it is brand new is questionable, but it is likely to be able to fly.

So don’t doubt it, Shi Juzhu really plans to have an aircraft carrier!

The outside world believed that this was his way of emphasizing his determination, and combined with the high price of 30 million US dollars, the Varyag was bound to be obtained.

As for Feng Qianjun's speech, although you are an expert, Shi Juzhu is a billionaire and an innovation pioneer, and no one dares to underestimate him.

The chorus of opposition that had just emerged thanks to Feng Qianjun was actually muted by a photo of Shi Juzhu, and the group was again at a disadvantage.

However, in the military community, the arsenal ship theory has officially entered the field of vision of research experts.

In recent days, a large number of articles have appeared in various military newspapers and magazines, with bold speculations about the arsenal ship.

Among them, the author of Full-band Blocking Interference, "Tang Jia Da Shao", was particularly active. He took the initiative to submit a large number of valuable first-hand articles and even a large number of imaginary pictures of arsenal ships to various journals, which made the magazines feel like they had found a treasure.

The emergence of one novel soft article after another immediately caused a huge stir in the boring domestic military circle.

While outside experts and magazines were discussing the issue heatedly, the Naval Strategic Research Office was also busy.

Lao Zhang put the pile of newspapers and periodicals he had collected on the table, leaned back in his chair and began to read.

As a true strategic and tactical expert, Lao Zhang has been conducting in-depth research on international relations and tactical equipment, especially the navy, which he attaches the most importance to.

After this year, the navy has made it clear that it wants to develop significantly, but how to develop and which aspects to strengthen have become problems.

The layout for ten years later cannot be ignored, but the current difficulties need to be solved more urgently.

Limited funds cannot take everything into consideration, so how to make choices and how to satisfy as many as possible becomes a crucial issue.

In order to meet the current needs, the Navy has begun negotiations on the purchase of the Sovremenny-class submarines and is expected to go abroad for inspection and negotiations in a few weeks. Lao Zhang is also in the inspection team.

Shi Juzhu's high-profile plan to purchase the Varyag has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Strategic Research Office.

The Sovremenny class represents the "present" and the Varyag represents the "future". In fact, purchasing this aircraft carrier is their next goal. Once it is completed, it means that the country will have a heavy aircraft carrier in 10 years, which is indeed a great temptation.

It's not that there's no plan for a domestically produced aircraft carrier. Even the most confident have to admit, nearly three decades after Project 708, that China's foundation is still far from complete, and a hasty launch would be difficult. Furthermore, China is already accustomed to imitation, so a copycat like the Varyag would undoubtedly greatly reduce the complexity.

The research laboratory was also trying to determine whether Shi Juzhu was sincere in wanting to buy the aircraft carrier. They had originally planned to contact the other party and offer assistance to help purchase the aircraft carrier.

As long as the Varyag docks, it will be easy to decide whether to use it as the company headquarters or the naval headquarters.

But at this juncture, Feng Qianjun suddenly appeared to advocate for the arsenal ship, giving Lao Zhang an extra task:
Judge whether the arsenal ship is really feasible and the pros and cons compared with purchasing an aircraft carrier.

When Lao Zhang finished reading the previous few pictures, he couldn't help but curl his lips:
This is not a new concept at all, it is clearly a missile battleship of the new era!
Suppressive firepower strikes, relying on large tonnage to install high-power electronic equipment, it is a typical super battleship idea, and it dares to come out and bluff people just by changing the skin.

The so-called "large missile cruiser of 10,000 to 20,000 tons", if we take into account the armor of the artillery era, wouldn't it be enough to be a battleship level?

There have been similar ideas before, but there was no mention of arsenal ships.

Old wine in a new bottle, the medicine remains the same!

But since he had already bought it, Lao Zhang continued reading.

Most articles written by so-called "experts" are nonsense and have little value. They are just glanced at and thrown aside.

On the contrary, "Young Master Tang" wrote some real things, and...

He also offered some practical suggestions:
-
Adding boosters to existing missiles to increase their power and range;
Relying on the space of large ships to arrange generators, use power to make up for the disadvantages of electronic systems and develop the "Flood" electronic suppression system;
-
You can learn from real warships to reduce design and development costs, for example, you can use 30,000 to 40,000-ton battleships as a reference to build the hull;
Try to use private enterprises to produce parts and components to reduce purchase prices.

After taking a look at them, Lao Zhang nodded repeatedly, thinking that these ideas were quite feasible.

A particular advantage of large ships is that they can make the vertical launch space very large. Adding a boost to existing missiles can at least double the range without any problem.

He also quite agrees with the idea that volume and weight can be exchanged for power, and that great force can create miracles. After all, Big Brother has tried it and it at least works.

After these assumptions, the last one Tang Wen added caught his attention:
-
Develop arsenal ships with a capacity of more than 15 tons, equipped with vertical launch units larger than 1* meters, capable of accommodating medium- and short-range ballistic missiles, and develop anti-ship strike capabilities through space-based systems.

Ballistic missile anti-ship?

This is not a new concept, but it is very attractive when combined with shipborne equipment.

Needless to say, its range and power are absolutely overwhelming over traditional missiles, and it is almost impossible to intercept.

However, it is okay to hit ground targets, but as for targets at sea... unless there is an aircraft or GPS guidance, the inertial navigation system cannot achieve such accuracy.

Even a nuclear strike can only cause effective damage to a warship at a very close range.

It's difficult, but very promising.

Even if it is not launched from an arsenal ship, land-based launch has a huge deterrent effect.

After he finished reading the article by "Young Master Tang", he had a pretty good impression of this science fiction writer.

Putting aside the novel itself, "Young Master Tang" has many bold but well-founded insights into future naval battles, showing a strong foresight.

If I really want to say something, it's that every article he writes is deliberately promoting the arsenal ship, as if he is a shrewd salesperson.

Moreover, many conceptual drawings of arsenal ships are based on modifications of World War II ships, which are somewhat strange.

Lao Zhang just thought it was the other party's personal hobby and decided to write a letter after thinking for a moment.

He also had many questions about the arsenal ship, so he might as well ask the person who proposed it.
