Sanya Port.

At 3:27 p.m.

In the open activity area of ​​the port area, the crowded tourists started to seize good positions from the morning to watch the three amphibious ships that have just been in service.

The two of Hasegawa, who came late, had no choice but to use their money to buy a hotel room with a sea view room.

In the swimming pool on the top floor of the hotel, he and his assistant just set up a camera, and other guests also took their mobile phones or telescopes to look out at the sea and sky line in the distance.

Dai Xiaohai and his family of three, who also booked the hotel room, and Wen Deye, who sold gas cylinders, and Ma Vest and Round Face all appeared next to the swimming pool on the top floor of the hotel.

Ma Vest put down the telescope, turned his head and smiled, "Brother Wen, I heard that these three amphibious ships are going to be sent to the Persian Gulf, and your business will be safer by then."

Wen Deye was still a little dissatisfied: "The amphibious ship is still weaker, and it would be even better if it had an aircraft carrier."

Soon, at sea level not far away, the radar tower part of a ship appeared in everyone's sight first.

Then there was the entire ship, followed by other destroyers, frigates, supply ships, etc.

“So cool!”

"Is this the sea giant second only to aircraft carriers?"

"I heard that the full load displacement is 36,000 tons."

"The amphibious ship is still a little smaller."

"But why is something wrong with this carrier-based aircraft?"

As everyone was talking, three amphibious formations slowly approached the port.

Hasegawa quickly adjusted the focal length of the lens, and through the telephoto lens, the surface of the amphibious ship can be clearly seen.

On the decks of these three amphibious ships, something that surprised Hasegawa very much. He entered and saw a fighter jet, and the number was as many as 24.

Generally speaking, the deck length of an amphibious ship is not enough to meet the take-off and landing of fighter jets. It can only be used for take-off and landing helicopters, or F35Bs with vertical take-off and landing capabilities.

In other words, on the amphibious ship deck in front of you, those fighters can take off and land vertically.

Hasegawa observed carefully for a while and saw that the aerodynamic layout of these aircraft was very similar to that of the JF-11 fighter jets, and it was probably derived from the JF-11 fighter jets.

Soon, one of the amphibious ships started on the deck.

As Hasegawa thought, this fighter can take off and land vertically, and those aircraft flew vertically.

The take-off fighter planes formed four small teams in the sky and then conducted flight exercises over Sanya.

When one of the small flying formations flew towards the distant sea, more than ten minutes later, there were roars from the outskirts of Sanya.

"It's a sonic boom."

"It can fly at supersonic speeds, this fighter looks good."

Round face turned his head and said with a smile: "I don't know what the combat radius of this fighter is. I heard that the F35 has a combat radius of more than a thousand kilometers."

Wendeye, who is knowledgeable, guessed some situations from the tail flame color of the fighter engine: "There are high-performance and high-energy fuels in China. If I guess correctly, this aircraft should have a Storm engine."

Round face picked up the telescope, looked at it again for a while, nodded and said, "It's really a light red tail flame. It seems that it is from the Storm Engine family."

Hasegawa, which has a telephoto lens, also discovered the light red tail flame. He has visited the launch of domestic launch vehicles many times, and naturally knows that this is the mysterious pure nitrogen fuel.

According to the estimated radius of 1,250 kilometers under the use of conventional fuel for the JF-11,000 kilometers, the combat radius of new fighter jets using high-energy fuel is at least twice, that is, more than 2,500 kilometers.

In addition, Hasegawa has also learned about some high-energy fuels, such as high-energy fuels can give aircraft powerful explosive power, and can even burst out five or six times the speed of sound at the extreme state that the engine can withstand.

Of course, he also understood that five or six times the speed of sound was impossible. Even if the engine could withstand it, the pilot would not be able to withstand high overload for a long time.

But two or three times the speed of sound should be more than enough.

It is better to have high-energy fuel. The design of Dalifei bricks can be adopted. Even vertical take-off and landing with huge energy consumption can be afforded.

Half an hour later, the 24 fighter jets returned to the deck again, and landed easily on the deck using vertical landing.

A deafening cheer came from all around.

“It’s so cool!”

"With fighter jets with super-large ranges and vertical take-off and landing, amphibious ships can also be compared to aircraft carriers."

"No wonder the construction of aircraft carriers has slowed down recently. I thought it was a technical problem."

"If the amphibious ship is combined with vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, it can indeed play a huge cost-effective."

Tourists around were talking.

Hasegawa and his assistants also seized the time and took comprehensive photos of all the details of the three amphibious ships before it got dark.

The tourists also took their cell phones or cameras to take photos as souvenirs.

The names of these three amphibious ships are named after the coastal cities, namely Fangchenggang, Quanzhou and Qinhuangdao.

The design purpose of this class amphibious ship is actually to replace the aircraft carrier and achieve the most cost-effective strategic development.

After all, Fangchenggang-level amphibious ship has a full load displacement of 36,300 tons. Under normal circumstances, it can accommodate 24 Xiaolong 2 and 4 helicopters.

Since there are ordinary situations, there are naturally special situations.

In the extreme state, Fangchenggang can accommodate 36 JF-12 and 4 helicopters.

You should know that the total number of carrier-based aircraft of the USS Washington nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is only about 50.

However, the cost of the two is obvious. In addition to enhancing the underwater protection capabilities, Fangchenggang level adopts the idea of ​​reducing the protection on the sea surface.

The reason for this design idea is that there is a Skyguard Defense System, which makes it difficult for enemy anti-ship missiles to penetrate the Skyguard Defense System.

In this case, there is no need to protect the hull on the sea surface too much, thereby reducing production costs. The overall construction cost of Fangchenggang is only 1.6 billion yuan, which is cheap and good.

In addition to the Fangchenggang, Quanzhou and Qinhuangdao, which have been in service, there are three other ships in the docks of the Dalian Shipyard, which are expected to be put into service around August next year.

For Fangchenggang-level, which pursues cost-effectiveness, if three amphibious ships form a large formation, they have 72 JF-12 helicopters, and their combat power can resist a single aircraft carrier battle group.

However, the overall cost is much smaller than that of the aircraft carrier battle group, and it can be more flexible. After all, there are three amphibious ships in the large amphibious ship formation. When it needs to perform multiple tasks, it can be completely transformed into a small formation mode.

What's more, in recent years, a series of new equipment has been developed in China around high-energy fuels and high-energy explosives.

If the amphibious ship formation and a single aircraft carrier team group are one-on-one, the dead side will most likely be aircraft carriers.

On the other hand, the strategic think tank has also put forward many suggestions. Aircraft carriers naturally need to develop, but amphibious ships with extremely cost-effectiveness must also develop vigorously.

After all, under normal circumstances, the possibility of direct conflict between the five major hooligans is relatively small, and the agents are usually fighting hand-to-hand combat or fighting security wars.

When using an aircraft carrier to beat those weak chickens, it really makes me feel like I’m killing a chicken.
