Chapter 1637 Anti-submarine aircraft

Graphene materials are unheard of for people of this era. In most people's perception, steel is always harder than non-steel materials, and carbon materials are diamonds, but their processing is more difficult and they have no other uses except for use as gems.

But graphene is different. It is not only strong, but also has strong ductility. If a special method is used to use graphene as a coating and adhere to a layer of cotton material, the body armor formed is even more powerful than the steel that is dozens of centimeters thick. The comfortable performance and extremely light weight also bring a breakthrough in individual soldiers' technology. If a body armor woven with graphene enters military applications, it is not impossible for a single soldier to withstand artillery fire. This is simply something that can only be obtained in the science fiction world when artillery is also the king of the army. A person wearing this material is almost invincible on the battlefield.

Yang Yuanzhao knew that this was exactly what it existed. In the later 2010 Nobel Prize was won by these two people who had divided the graphene. They were also one of the group of people in Nobel history who had the shortest awards from the results to the awards. Many of them had won the awards decades later, but they only took 6 years to win the Nobel Prize from the results to the awards. Putting aside the initial period when the Nobel Prize was not very influential, in most cases, it was considered a small number of years, and some people even received this honor after they died.

However, it only took these two people six years from discovering graphene materials to winning the Nobel Prize, which also proved that this material is powerful. However, graphene is too advanced in this era. In the later 1980s and 1990s, many people believed that graphene was just a theoretical material, just a material in science fiction novels, but it existed exactly. Graphene materials can be produced in the laboratory, and it will become the strongest material in the world. Its strength is 200 times that of steel. A thin layer of coating can reach the strength of a homogeneous steel plate of dozens or even hundreds of millimeters. Its ductility can reach 20% of its own. Such materials can give the armor a strong protective power.

Such a strong and powerful material must be quite heavy in the previous concept, but in fact, its weight is extremely light. A layer of graphene material, a size of one square meter, is only one milligram, and it is not very heavy when it is stacked on multiple layers, almost equal to 0 weights, which solves the biggest problem of protective armor. The weight and protection issues will lead to the greatest change. Super fighter jets and super tanks will be born. Without a countermeasure, these weapons with graphene coating will be invincible.

In the year when graphene materials were born, some people suggested using graphene materials to stack hundreds of layers as armor to build a super missile destroyer, reduce the armor and the parts that can be reduced, and enhance the seaworthiness and fluidity. It depends on how fast this warship with a strong protective power cannot be sailed. This will become a super missile destroyer.

However, this statement has not been obtained. Compared with warships, aircraft use graphene is the mainstream. Compared with the limitations of ships, aircraft are all-weather combat and the strongest weapon. The land strikes on aircraft can only rely on anti-aircraft machine guns and air defense missiles. After graphene strengthens the protection of the aircraft, it is difficult to deal with this aircraft unless it uses a large equivalent of ballistic missiles.

Graphene materials are just the future prospects. Even now, even if they are made, they will not be used. This is just the ultimate material for future research and development. It was arranged by Yang Yuanzhao. Even the leading material of graphene research and development in the laboratory is also the carbon fiber, which is the leading material of graphene. Even if graphene cannot be produced, as long as qualified carbon fiber is produced, there will be huge progress in many fields such as reaction armor and aviation armor.

Graphene belongs to the future Nascent Soul, but semiconductors are currently the mainstream. Through Yang Yuanzhao's guidance, they have entered the field of semiconductors from electron tubes, and gradually from electron tubes to transistors, and then to integrated circuits. In just a few years, China has gone through other countries, and may have developed for thirty or forty years. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, Yang Yuanzhao is very clear about the development path of electronic products, such as electron tubes, transistors, integrated circuits, large-scale integrated circuits, and ultra-large-scale integrated circuits.

Following this step-by-step development, with the deepening of semiconductor research, various uses have gradually improved. Some things developed in the laboratory, even at 1%, with a lower success rate, can be copied through an all-in-one machine. With the keeping up with software and research, China has already gone through the levels of electronic tubes, transistors, and integrated circuits, and has initially explored ultra-large-scale integrated circuits.

Although doing this can be considered as a boost to grow, the previous development processes, electronic tubes, transistors, and these have little impact on the microelectronics and semiconductors behind them. This thing is a low-level, high-consuming and poor performance product. As long as the foundation and accumulation are completed and helps to enter a higher level.

Currently, China's integrated circuits can integrate thousands of electron tubes and semiconductors in a palm-sized structure, which is quite useful for miniaturized sonars. Early materials such as radar and sonars, especially electron tubes, are surprisingly delicate. The reason why radar and sonars are prone to problems and failures is because the electron tubes consume too much power and are prone to problems.

In later World War II, American computers were so big that they could only complete 5,000 calculations per second. They were even worse than the central processing unit of later calculators. The reason was that the electron tubes were on the electronic tubes, and they were even prone to errors. The electron tubes had a short life and were broken after a while. To ensure the normal operation of the computer, there were basically people who were used to replace the electronic tubes. Often within a few days, the electronic tubes were replaced one side. Not only did they consume a huge power, but the cost was also quite high. However, the integrated circuits were different. The same work could be completed, but the power consumption was small and the size was small, which was more suitable for miniaturization of sonar and radar.

Of course, graphene, even carbon fibers that are easier to obtain, are not accessible to Chinese technology today. It is easy to say that carbon fibers are a little bit difficult. The laboratory has already figured out the clues and is expected to be applied in a few years of research. However, graphene is just a theory, and even theories are not involved. Until now, the researchers in the laboratory still cannot understand what kind of thing this graphene is.

These are relatively distant futures. Compared with graphene, it seems that in science fiction materials, the reduction of sonar is the most important thing. Compared with radar, the remaining ones are easier to shrink. In the end, the sonar was controlled at 160 kilograms and the volume was reduced to an acceptable level. Compared with the ultra-small sonar in later generations, it is no longer very good, but it is enough to be loaded on the plane.

Because of its smaller size, more powerful and faster operation speed, sonar is extremely powerful on aircraft than ships, and its coverage is much larger than that of ships, at least several times larger. Then, with the speed of the aircraft, you can search for a large enough area in a short time, which is more efficient.

Before there is no aircraft, anti-submarine ships can be used, but after confirming that the sonar is installed on the aircraft, the birth of the anti-submarine aircraft is finally given up. This is the best anti-submarine option. Moreover, when the aircraft is installed on the sonar, it can accurately judge the opponent's position and attack.

Aircraft and submarine have a natural imbalance. Submarines cannot deal with aircraft. Even the most powerful nuclear submarine in later generations can launch nuclear missiles that destroy countless cities. However, it is almost impossible to equip nuclear submarines with air defense missiles. The accuracy of launching air defense missiles is quite low. Ballistic missiles can also be fine-tuned through satellites and command systems to ensure the final hit rate. Tactical missiles and air defense missiles are no longer possible. They have already flew before they can be controlled by radar.

When attacking submarines, destroyers must also beware of the danger of being attacked by submarines. This does not exist for aircraft at all. Submarines cannot deal with aircraft, but aircraft can deal with submarines wholeheartedly. As long as the traces of submarines are found, the efficiency of deep-water bombs projected by aircraft is much better than that of destroyers. When destroyers use sonar, they must judge their approximate position at most. Even when dropping deep-water bombs, they need to be relatively high-speed. The bombs will also affect the efficiency of sonar. However, aircraft can, to a certain extent, and this impact is within an acceptable range.

After a little argument, the main force of anti-submarine was transferred from the submarine to the aircraft. However, there are many types of aircraft. From the many types, one should choose a suitable one as the carrier of sonar and become an anti-submarine aircraft. Each fighter and bomber can be combined at will, and the most suitable ratio must be found.

In the end, when choosing an aircraft, there is no choice for the lightest monoplane. According to the aircraft performance, a monoplane can be as powerful as 500-800 kilograms, and one person will have 200 kilograms. In other words, the maximum number of deep-water bombs is 12, which is 50 kilograms, and the maximum number of 100 kilograms is 6.

Anti-submarine aircraft can be formed in formations, 4 aircraft formations and 8 aircraft formations, which can also maintain relatively large density. However, after careful measurement, especially the premise of balancing speed and lethality, the anti-submarine aircraft finally chose a medium-sized twin-engine aircraft. Such twin-engine aircraft can be dispatched on a single plane, both in terms of efficiency and range, and are satisfactory enough. (To be continued.)
