Chapter 178: The awesomeness of the ground effect vehicle, Lu Chiyu was promoted to the youngest project leader!
Sure enough, this time Commander Xie nodded: "I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it.
I remember that a few years ago, there were some international studies on the wing-to-ground effect for military applications, but it seems that no practical applications were achieved afterwards.”
Lu Chiyu was a little surprised when she heard this. This parallel world has only been studying the wing-ground effect for a few years? That is much later than the time and space she was in in her previous life. This means that the probability of Russia developing a ground-effect vehicle now is even lower.
Lu Chiyu nodded and said, "Yes, it's the wing-earth effect. I have studied this theory in detail over the past few days and found that it is very, very feasible.
Once we manufacture this ground effect vehicle, it will definitely become a killer of Country B's aircraft carriers."
Next, Lu Chiyu gave Commander Xie a detailed introduction to the ground effect vehicle she was planning to design.
To put it simply, the physics of ground effect flight is that when an airplane moves forward on the runway during takeoff, it cuts through the air in front of it.
Part of this air will be pressed to the ground, and then when it rebounds, it will lift the fuselage and glide forward.
Because it uses the rebounding air to glide forward, its first feature is that it can greatly save energy.
Another thing is that the load capacity can be very large.
The third is that it can be amphibious, which means that except for not being able to climb mountains, it can generate wing-ground effect to fly whether it is close to the sea surface or the ground.
Lu Chiyu uses the technology in the technological space. She can make the aircraft only 30 centimeters off the ground at its lowest point and as high as an airplane.
Of course, the higher the distance, the smaller the wing-ground effect will be until it eventually disappears. At this time, Lu Chiyu uses the flying technology of an airplane.
And why did Lu Chiyu say that it was an aircraft carrier killer?
One reason is that it does not fall into the water when flying in the sea, so the sonar of the aircraft carrier cannot detect it, and the sonar can only detect the situation in the water.
Secondly, it is only a few dozen centimeters above the sea surface, and at this height it is still covered by the clutter of the waves, so it cannot be seen by the radar in the air.
So this ground effect vehicle is a monster that is neither a ship nor an airplane. Both sonar, a means of detecting in the sea, and radar, a means of detecting in the air, are ineffective against it.
Third, its flying speed is extremely fast, and by the time the aircraft carrier discovers it, it is too late to intercept it.
Moreover, the aircraft carrier's fire control radar cannot lock onto it, let alone stop it!
Lu Chiyu planned to make this ground effect vehicle unmanned and load it with explosives. Even if their country's current explosives were backward, the aircraft carrier of country B would not be able to withstand the explosives if she made a few tons of them and gave them to them!
In their previous life, their country's ground effect vehicle with a speed of more than 800 kilometers per hour was already able to reach the enemy's aircraft carrier silently. Now Lu Chiyu has increased it to supersonic speed and increased its carrying capacity.
In this way, she doesn't believe that it is not afraid of Country B's aircraft carrier.
In addition to ground effect flight and drone technology, she also made it possible to switch the aircraft's flight modes, thus solving its shortcomings in resisting waves and mountains.
It can be said that this ground effect vehicle is really the most suitable for the current Red Country's counterattack aircraft carrier. In addition, it can also be used for naval landing and army operations, which can be said to be a multi-purpose device.
It also saves energy, using air to lift it and slide it forward, which is extremely important for the Red Country, which is currently short of oil.
So apart from the high technical and manufacturing requirements, once it is made, it is full of advantages.
With Lu Chiyu around to handle technology and manufacturing, these aren't problems.
Sure enough, after listening to Lu Chiyu's story, Commander Xie was also very excited and was completely fascinated by the big picture she painted.
Next, he looked at the ground effect vehicle research and development and manufacturing plan that Lu Chiyu pretended to take out from his bag, but actually took out from the space. He was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time.
When he came to his senses, he suddenly remembered to ask, "Comrade Lu Chiyu, has your plan been seen by others?"
Lu Chiyu shook his head: "No, I know that these weapons data are confidential, so it is just like the radar data I handed over to the military factory. No one has seen it except me."
"That's good." Commander Xie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then instructed: "Comrade Lu Chiyu, please remember that we must keep the manufacturing of the ground effect vehicle a secret from the outside world. Now, except for you and me, we cannot mention it to anyone else outside this office.
I'll keep this plan with me for now. I'll contact them right away to apply for R&D and manufacturing, and I'll get back to you then."
Lu Chiyu naturally had no objection to Commander Xie's arrangement: "Okay, Commander Xie."
After Lu Chiyu left, Commander Xie immediately and excitedly called Minister He.
"...Old Xie, are you telling the truth?"
After listening to Commander Xie's talk about the ground effect vehicle, Minister He also felt as unreal as stepping on cotton. There was no way that something that could resist Country B's aircraft carrier would not be shocking.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would joke with you about something like this?" Commander Xie said unhappily. At this moment, he completely forgot that he was also shocked when he first heard about it.
"Hahaha... Old Xie, I'm really shocked. You also know how rare it is to have a weapon that can attack an aircraft carrier." Minister He thought that he was the pillar of the island and everything was good except that his temper had become more and more impatient over the years.
Alas, it's all because of the current situation outside. Thinking of this, he quickly said: "How about this, I will call an emergency meeting of the military right now, and notify you immediately when there is a result."
"Okay, I'll wait for your call."
Minister He couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the hung up phone. Old Xie really had less and less feelings for him.
However, thinking this did not prevent Minister He from immediately notifying the meeting.
At the meeting, other military leaders were shocked when they heard that Lu Chiyu was going to develop such an amazing aircraft.
However, when they heard that Minister He was going to let Lu Chiyu lead the team to develop this ground effect vehicle, the bosses split into two factions again!
