Chapter 2640 Material Problems

Aluminum is a very good material. It is the same in this world or the world before the trip. In the world before the trip, aluminum is still widely used in weapons and equipment, especially aviation. It is a common behavior for aircraft to use aluminum. This is the same in this world. However, unlike in history, the large amount of aluminum used by warships in this world is special.

The main body of the world warship before Fatty Gao traveled through the country was always steel. However, the steel hull was good, but it also had large weight problems. The large weight required high power system. Therefore, for a period of time, in order to reduce costs and weight, many warships used a lot of aluminum. The British Type 42 destroyer is a typical representative.

However, unlike the propaganda, the aluminum used by the Type 42 destroyers in history was more superstructured. The part concentrated by the Feiyu missile had nothing to do with aluminum. Later, the main reason for the loss of control of the pipe was not much related to aluminum. The main reason for the loss of control of the pipe was not much related to aluminum. It was mainly to save money. Not only did the aluminum material use but also a lot of other materials were used. To be precise, many civilian materials could not be used on warships at all, but to save money, the UK used too many such materials on the Type 42 destroyer. Many such materials released toxic gases when burned. These poisonous gases hindered the progress of the pipe damage. In addition, the boat pulled the cannon and caused the hull of the Type 42 destroyer Sheffield to sink.

The Type 42 destroyer is a tragedy. The Royal Navy originally had no such cargo but the Type 82 destroyer. At that time, the Royal Navy planned that the CVA01 aircraft carrier and the Type 82 destroyer formed the new generation core of the Royal Navy. However, after the British general election, the Labor Party took office, the CVA01 aircraft carrier was abolished and the Type 82 destroyer was only built as a supporting Type 82 destroyer.

In fact, it was an era of particularly sadness for the Royal Navy. The Labor Party canceled the CVA01 aircraft carrier and the existing aircraft carriers were planned to retire. Therefore, the UK was about to enter the era of no aircraft carriers. On the day the CVA01 aircraft carrier was cancelled, all personnel from the British Royal Navy staff collectively submitted their resignations. These resignations were rejected and then the British Navy Secretary resigned. Of course, these naval personnel knew what the cancellation of the CVA01 aircraft carrier and the Type 82 destroyer meant.

Later, the Royal Navy used some means to apply for funds using the name of aircraft carrier cruisers and quickly started construction. This is the Invincible Class aircraft carrier. The Invincible Class aircraft carrier is the world's first ski-jump deck aircraft carrier. This world's number one is a bit coward for the Royal Navy. As a supporting ship, the Type 42 destroyer appeared. According to the British fleet configuration, the destroyer is responsible for the regional air defense of the formation area. The other tasks are frigates, and the Type 42 destroyer is equipped with the Type 22 frigates. In fact, the Type 22 frigates are larger than the Type 42 destroyer at the beginning.

After the Type 42 destroyer was built, it became a typical representative. The destroyer with more than 4,000 tons achieved various functions. Air defense, anti-ship and anti-submarine were all OK. Gao Fatty's motherland once thought about introducing Type 42 destroyers and even reached the negotiation stage. However, the Fast Island War changed everything. The Type 42 destroyer that was sunk in the Fast Island War exposed too many problems. Of course, the biggest problem is that the aircraft carrier is too small. The consequences of the Labor Party's abolition of the CVA01 aircraft carrier were demonstrated and made the world clear about the situation.

A rumor that the Type 42 destroyer was circulated at that time was that because the aluminum was used too much and the low melting point of the aluminum was the main reason why the Type 42 destroyer Sheffield was sunk by the Flying Fish missile. In fact, the reason was not the case. Later, the second and third batches of Type 42 destroyers made some adjustments to the impact of the Battle of the Horse Island. Of course, the biggest adjustment was that Britain realized that it was necessary to have a large enough aircraft carrier. This was also the origin of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier built by the UK later. Of course, the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier is another matter.

The biggest difference between this world and in history is the problem of materials. It is particularly common for warships in this world to use aluminum in large quantities besides the hull. This large amount of aluminum used on warships is not ordinary aluminum. There is no problem with the low melting point in history. Of course, the strength is not enough compared with steel, so many necessary constructions cannot be made of aluminum.

The warship hulls in this world use a lot of aluminum for weight loss, of course there are many reasons. The benefits of using aluminum are also many. First of all, it raises the value. Aluminum resources in this world are the most expensive ordinary resource. In fact, aluminum resources are far less widely used than steel resources, but the production of aluminum resources is low, and the production of special aluminum resources is even lower. Another advantage of the large amount of equipment on the warships using such special aluminum resources is that the ship girl can synthesize the aircraft by herself in the absence of aluminum resources. You should know that seaplanes also require aluminum resources to be synthesized, and aluminum resources are easy to be cut off. Not every island has enough aluminum resources.

This is often the case in this world. In fact, although aluminum resources are expensive, the gap is really not big, but only a little gap will become a big problem. The main reason is that everyone knows that there is a gap in aluminum resources, so no one wants to become a gap. The impact of this is that the commanders and ship girls in this world are all used to hoarding resources. Aluminum resources are relatively scarce, which is naturally one of them.

Many warships actually do not have seaplanes. Part of the reason why these warships use a large amount of aluminum is investment, because the equipment on many warships is aluminum, including seats and tables. On some islands where aluminum resources are relatively lacking, these ship girls can make a profit by dismantling the aluminum on their hulls. Of course, the fat man's ship girl has never done this.

Although his ship girl had never done this, Fatty Gao felt that his ship girl's equipment could not be worse than other ship girls. Of course, Fatty Gao also had the idea of ​​hoarding resources at the beginning, but Fatty Gao quickly forgot about this. The ship girl's equipment was all about the ship girl's own. What the ship girl said was the final suggestion. As the commander, Fatty Gao could confirm those weapons and equipment related to combat. Other Fatty Gao generally didn't care about this. Of course, this was Fatty Gao who had a special way of getting along with the ship girl. Other commanders could not learn from Fatty Gao.
