Chapter 1118: An Aircraft Carrier Built in Half a Year
At present, there is only one aircraft carrier for training in my hometown, and there is also a medium-sized conventional aircraft carrier under construction. The full-load displacement is a little larger than the training ship I have.
The development of the aircraft carrier in my hometown has always been in the process of exploring and accumulating experience.
The development of the first aircraft carrier has also gone through various ups and downs, and it has not come easily.
The second aircraft carrier is also a domestically-made aircraft carrier in the true sense, and it is also an achievement gained from the experience accumulated on the first aircraft carrier.
Never good at Gao Muyuan's hometown, in the development of the aircraft carrier, he also gave full play to the characteristics of step by step, making use of familiar and mature technologies as much as possible.
When the experience and technology are further improved and mature, the construction of large-scale aircraft carriers will inevitably be carried out. Compared with the aircraft carrier technology of the United States, the hometown still has ten or twenty years to catch up.
The development of the navy, especially the development of large combat ships, must not be rushed.
Once the feet are not long enough and the strides are too large, the egg will inevitably be pulled.
However, as a rising world power, the people in my hometown say that they are not in a hurry, that is a lie.
In the east and inevitably, the interests of the sea are facing severe challenges, and the hometown urgently needs a powerful navy to deter opponents.
In the development of the modern navy, the aircraft carrier is the core ship that cannot be left behind, but the century-old navy is not empty talk. In the 1920s, it was almost catching up from scratch. It really takes time to reach those naval powers that have developed for hundreds of years. and more sweat and hard work.
Five-year plan, ten-year plan, fifteen-year strategy, my hometown has already formulated a complete naval development path.
When the results can be verified on a large scale in the future, the big boss probably won't see it.
He can only pave the way and prepare for the successor as much as possible, and develop the naval foundation of his hometown better.
But now, Big Boss's already extinguished naval ambitions. Rejuvenated, fanatical eyes, staring at the sea giant on the augmented reality screen in front of him.
More than 80,000 tons of displacement. Compared with those super aircraft carriers in the United States that easily cost 100,000 tons, they seem to be smaller. But if it is placed outside the United States, it will be the second largest aircraft carrier in the world, and it is also a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
According to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, any nuclear technology used in weapons cannot be leaked, including the nuclear power system of ships.
The United States is the only country in the world that has the ability to design and develop nuclear power systems for large ships.
Even France, a powerful country that is no less than any major country in terms of military technology. It is also difficult to come up with a nuclear power facility suitable for large ships.
This is also the biggest problem that plagues every country that wants to develop a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. In the world, only the United States has mastered such an advanced nuclear power system.
It is extremely difficult for other countries to develop and catch up.
As for large-scale nuclear power reactors, it is an absolute top secret in the United States, and even the closest allies of the United States cannot obtain any technology in this area.
Even the United States is willing to help India build electromagnetic catapults, but it firmly refuses nuclear power reactors.
If my hometown wants to confront the United States in the Pacific in the future, it will inevitably need a powerful fleet capable of going out to sea, and there will only be nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Only then can it be able to meet the needs of the hometown with more than 10,000 kilometers of coastline, and only then can it be worthy of the status of the hometown as a world power.
Now, including Russia and the UK as well as home. They are also all developing nuclear power reactors for use on large warships, but how effective they are, at least not yet.
Cai Ruichen's simple words were enough to make the big boss's heart warm up. The most important thing was that Cai Ruichen showed him all these things, which meant that these things were all business.
"Are all these warships really being built?" the big boss asked in disbelief.
Cai Ruichen didn't speak, but simply moved his fingers. The scene in front of him changed immediately, turning into a closed large dry dock.
In dry dock. From the body of a giant, the outline of a large aircraft carrier can already be seen.
In this huge dry dock. Around the aircraft carrier in the middle, four huge mechanical arms are assembling the assembly modules of the aircraft carrier's hull to the aircraft carrier's hull.
On the screen, the fast-playing video kept accelerating, and the hull of an aircraft carrier was fully assembled in just a few minutes.
The big boss who saw this scene no longer has any doubts. The shipyards of the Future Technology Group are all completely closed. The outside world does not know how many people want to find out, but the Future Technology Group has always been reject.
The big boss knew very well that he was probably the first person not from the Future Technology Group to see what those shipyards looked like.
It's just that he really thought, or maybe he didn't think at all, that the construction of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is actually going on in those fully enclosed shipyards.
"The aircraft carrier you see is the first aircraft carrier that our group started to build four months ago. It took four months. The aircraft carrier's power system and hull have been built, and the connection test of the line is currently underway. The final outfitting will be carried out in the next stage, and it is expected to be completely completed in two months." Cai Ruichen said surprisingly.
"Brother, stop joking with me, and don't scare me. My heart may not be able to bear the alcohol just now." Hearing this, the big boss shook his head resolutely and said.
Hua Meixue next to him saw the appearance of the big boss, and smiled softly. It was the first time she saw the frightened face of the big boss, and she immediately felt a little cute. The natural awe of the big boss in her heart, It's gone by now too.
It's just that Cai Ruichen didn't laugh, and he didn't joke with the big boss. In fact, what he said was the truth.
"Brother, you heard me right, and neither did I." Cai Ruichen emphasized.
"It was built like this in four months?" The big boss pointed to the stopped screen in the augmented reality screen in front of him, and the aircraft carrier island on it had already been installed.
An aircraft carrier, especially a modern aircraft carrier, can be completed within three years from the laying of the keel in peacetime, which is already very efficient.
Those super aircraft carriers in the United States, even if they already have a lot of experience in aircraft carrier construction, it will take at least three years.
The British aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth also took nearly three years, and India's first domestically-made aircraft carrier took twelve years to be able to launch.
In four months, an 80,000-ton aircraft carrier can be built and launched, and the big boss can believe that he has auditory hallucinations. (To be continued.)
