Chapter 1272: Reckless Actions Will Cost You Blood

East.

"We can't hide the fact that we are starting to build the second batch of 003 aircraft carriers from the Americans. They will find out soon." Wu Shengli looked at his son-in-law: "Taozi, what do you think?"

"Of course we can't hide it. When they ask, we openly admit that we are the ones who made it. What can they do to us? They can make it if they can." Qin Tao said: "They have no right to do anything to us. Pointing fingers.”

"This is the plan we came up with. Don't you have a better plan?"

"What other plans are there?" Qin Tao glanced at his father-in-law: "It would be good if it was made public, so that the Americans could learn from our example and work hard. Didn't they use Star Wars to bring down the old man? Now, we can use the same method to bring them down."

Wu Shengli's eyes lit up: "Go on!"

In fact, this is just a replica of Star Wars, but from space to ocean.

How much does it cost for the Americans to build an aircraft carrier? Twenty billion dollars! What about us? We only need 20 billion yuan! Just calculate the exchange rate and you will know that for the money the Yankees spend to build an aircraft carrier, we can build an entire fleet!

"In order to avoid giving people any clues, we can tell it through the grapevine, and Zhang Zhong can also promote it, but we can only say how much we need, and we can never say how much we will build..."

Zhang Zhong, who had not had any new content for a long time, became excited again.

"Hello everyone in front of the TV, today's program is called Zhang Zhongchang Thinks About the Future. Let's imagine how far the navy will develop. Let's start with the aircraft carrier. I think our navy must at least have More than eight aircraft carriers are enough!”

Eight ships!

Everyone watching the show became excited. Although they are just imagining it now, today's hope may be realized tomorrow?

"Our navy has three major fleets. Each fleet needs two aircraft carriers so that they can be rotated. When one of them is being repaired, the other one can be put into battle at any time. This will require six ships. However, we still have maritime Rights and interests need to be maintained, so there are also two aircraft carriers with two mobile fleets, one in the Pacific and one in the Indian Ocean, so that they can respond to emergencies at any time.”

"Damn it, what are these Easterners thinking? The ocean here belongs to us!"

Before the Americans were in a hurry, Ah San became anxious first. Seeing Zhang Zhong talking nonsense, Ah San's eyes were full of angry flames.

"How's the progress of our aircraft carrier?"

"The track strengthening work will be completed soon, and we can continue to move the Super Sun King segments."

"The faster, the better. We need this aircraft carrier to roam the ocean. This time the elevator has been changed, and we can also operate Rafale fighter jets. This is the most advanced fighter jet in the world, a hundred times better than Eastern carrier-based aircraft!"

At this time, Zhang Zhong continued to imagine on the TV.

"Eight aircraft carriers need to form eight aircraft carrier formations. The main escort warship must be the 10,000-ton large-scale destroyer 055. Each formation needs two 055s, so we need sixteen 055 destroyers, so that we can effectively protect them. The safety of the aircraft carrier. As for the 052DL destroyers, each formation requires four, which is thirty-two 052s. As for the 054, I won’t talk about it, after all, everyone knows it.”

What do you know? "

054 is already a thing of the past and is no longer popular. Even as the main warship of the navy, frigates are no longer on the table. You must know that the displacement of 054 is larger than the original 051 destroyer and its combat effectiveness is stronger. But now, it has been reduced to A second-rate force!

"In addition to eight aircraft carrier battle groups, we also need amphibious assault ship battle groups. Our navy already has two 075s, but it is not enough. We need at least four 076s..."

Across the ocean, countless people were watching Zhang Zhong's performance.

"Does this Zhang Zhong represent his personal opinions, or is he explaining their development direction on behalf of the Eastern Navy?" Austin asked.

"I don't know, but what we can be sure of is that many of what Zhang Zhong said have profound meanings. Since he said this, it is likely that he received instructions from above."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's take this opportunity to ask Congress for money! The Eastern Navy is gradually growing in size. Our navy is afraid that it will completely fall behind. How can we maintain maritime hegemony in the future?"

"Yes, we demand an increase in the budget, at least a thirty percent increase, no, a fifty percent increase!"

Because of Zhang Zhong's words, the U.S. Navy took a beating and began to fight with Congress.

As for Ah San, he was even more energetic.

"Has the railway foundation been reinforced? We need to completely repair the Blue Sky Guardian within this month! When this aircraft carrier is completed, we will immediately start building the second one!"

Alex felt his body tremble when he heard Sunil's words, what did you say?

Completed within this month? It’s good enough that it will be completed within one year this year. Sea trials and other things must follow the formal process. As for the second ship? There is nothing wrong with the eight characters.

There is no catapult, no nuclear reactor, and the dock has not been repaired...

Alex swallowed: "The foundation has been reinforced. We can continue to transfer the sections. This needs to be done as quickly and slowly as possible to avoid accidents."

"As long as it's safe, the sooner the better, let's get started!"

The 10,000-ton gantry crane started up again, and the sections of the Super Sun King were slowly lifted up again. The rails on one side of the gantry crane were slowly sinking, but because there were rails underneath, the sinking was not much, which was completely within the tolerable range.

"Okay, great, now open the gantry crane!"

The gantry crane moved slowly, at the speed of a snail, and the huge sections hanging below also moved along, moving little by little.

"Can it be faster?" Sunil, who came to supervise the work in person, frowned. This speed was too slow. How could it reflect the speed of us Indians?

"No, the soil on the beach is soft, and we must ensure safety."

"Okay."

The gantry crane moved little by little, and finally left the beach after three hours.

"Can it be faster now?"

"No, the front starts to turn. When turning, you must slow down. Accidents may happen at any time."

"Okay."

This time it went slower, and it took another two hours to pass a bend.

"What's next? You will definitely say that we need to slow down, otherwise accidents may happen at any time, right?"

"Well... we can speed up a little bit."

Alex knew that Sunil was always on the verge of anger. If he continued to refuse Sunil, Sunil might lose control. The next section can be slightly faster.

Of course, only for this section.

So, after speeding up for half an hour, the gantry crane slowed down again.

When the sun set in the west, the gantry crane was still two kilometers away from the dock.

"I think we should put down the section and wait until tomorrow morning before moving." Alex said, "Sir Sunil, please go back and come back tomorrow."

"No, we don't have time to wait! The Orientals already have three aircraft carriers and are still building them. We only have this one and are still slow. We will work all night and finish the hoisting tonight and start welding tomorrow!"

"It is very dangerous to work at night."

"You have been talking about the danger for a day. Is there any danger?"

"Okay, then let's continue working."

Countless Indian workers walked barefoot on the ground and walked slowly with the gantry crane. When the night was completely dark, only the lights were left to illuminate them.

It must be said that under pressure, the Indians really burst out their potential and passed the second bend perfectly. The dock was already in front!

"Great, keep going, speed up!" Sunil said, "I want to see this section put down with my own eyes and connect with our other sections!"

Time passed little by little, and finally, the section of the Ultra Sun King was close to the dock!

"Attention, raise the height!"

In order to allow this section to enter the dock, the height must be raised.

Bang Bang...

At this moment, a terrifying sound rang out.

Several people looked up and looked at the place where the sound came from. Under the light, a rope was flying.

"The ring is broken!" Someone shouted loudly.

This section is welded with a large number of rings on both sides, tied with wire ropes, and then the section is lifted up. There are so many devices, densely packed like a spider web. It should be no big deal even if one is broken.

But if a chain reaction occurs, it will be troublesome, and now, it is a chain reaction!

If one breaks, the other rings will bear more force, so several more can't hold it anymore and continue to break, then more rings break, and steel wires begin to break...

"Quick, lower the height immediately!" Alex's voice was filled with fear.

This damn ring, it didn't break earlier or later, but it broke at this time! Just now, the lifting height was no more than one meter. Even if a few lifting rings were broken, it could land smoothly. But now, in order to be able to lift into the dock, the lifting height has exceeded five meters. How can it land so easily?

The hydraulic motor of the crane sounded, and the hook began to descend, but it was useless. The section hanging below suddenly flipped and fell upside down, and the 10,000-ton gantry crane also tilted to the side because of the impact.

Bang!

The section fell first, smashing the dock, and then rolled into the dock, and there was a sound of metal collision.

It's over, the section inside was also smashed, and now this aircraft carrier is all over!

No, this is not the worst!

At this time, the gantry crane was flipping, and the direction of the flip was still the direction where Alex and others were!

"Hurry, run!" Sunil's men were quick-eyed and quick-handed, pulling Sunil to run, but they had no experience.

The lumberjacks were the most experienced. They didn't run in a hurry. They looked up at the top of the tree and knew which direction the tree would fall, and then ran in a safe direction.

But Sunil's men didn't know. They only wanted to protect Sunil from escaping, but they didn't know which direction was the safest.

"Don't run that way, it's dangerous!" Alex shouted loudly, trying to pull Sunil, but it was too late.

A huge black shadow emerged from the darkness, and Sunil and his men were shrouded in the shadow. A desperate voice sounded.

Bang!

The gantry crane fell down, and dust flew on the ground. I don't know what flew up and hit Alex's back of the head hard. He rolled his eyes and knew nothing.

The next day, this shocking news spread all over the world.

When Asan was using a gantry crane to transport sections of the Super Sun King, an accident occurred. The sections of the Super Sun King fell down, collapsing the dock, damaging the rear section of the Blue Sky Guardian, the gas turbines inside, etc. scrapped.

The entire production accident caused the death of more than a hundred people, including Alex, Asan's aircraft carrier expert, and Sunil, who had been leading the development of Asan's naval equipment. The losses were heavy!

The Cochin Shipyard was in a mess. The reporters who came after hearing the news were not able to enter it. They could only observe the miserable situation from the outside, and then came to the conclusion: within five years, Asan will not be able to build an aircraft carrier!

The dock is gone, the gantry crane is gone, the aircraft carrier experts are gone, Ah San suffered heavy losses this time!

At the same time, the analysis of the accident began in an orderly manner. Many people analyzed the cause of the accident in a serious manner to attract attention. Zhang Zhong said before that the enthusiasm for the development of the navy disappeared in an instant.

"Gantry cranes are used in conjunction with shipyards. No shipyard in the world allows gantry cranes to move several kilometers to transport equipment, and it is still a large piece of more than 10,000 tons. The risks encountered in the process will be great, even if a gust of cross wind blows. It may cause an accident.”

"This is completely an amateur's operation. Facts have proved that being reckless will cost you blood!"

"I hope Ah San can learn a lesson this time and be down-to-earth in the future. Looking back on Ah San's journey as an aircraft carrier in the past few years, we can find that impetuousness is their biggest problem..."

East.

Qin Tao looked at these analyzes with a smile on his face.

"It's tragic. It's really tragic. So many people died, even the aircraft carrier experts died." There was no hint of tragedy in Qin Tao's words.

"Most of them are fair and objective, but a few point the finger at Zhenhua Heavy Industries, believing that the accident was caused by problems with the gantry crane," Xu Zhengyang said.

"This must be what the experts from Asan said. They want to throw dirty water on our Zhenhua Heavy Industry, but they will not succeed." Qin Tao said: "We will then announce our gantry crane project to the outside world and let them Know our strength.”

"Okay, I'll notify Zhenhua Heavy Industries."

In fact, even if Asan throws dirty water, Zhenhua Heavy Industries will not care. After all, Zhenhua Heavy Industries does not have any industry in Asan.

In fact, most companies in the East have no cooperation with Ah San. Even if they do, they pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. It is absolutely impossible for Ah San to use tricks.

Soon, Zhenhua Heavy Industries officially announced the news.

"In order to further meet the development of our domestic shipbuilding industry, we are about to build a gantry crane with a maximum lifting capacity of more than 25,000 tons for a domestic unit. This will be the largest gantry crane in the world and is the latest technology from our ZPMC." reflect!"

The 25,000-ton gantry crane broke the world record again!

When the news was announced, the whole world was sour.

"They must use this gantry crane to build an aircraft carrier."

"Yes, with this level of gantry crane, the docking of the aircraft carrier can be completed in two stages. They plan to continue to build aircraft carriers, and to build aircraft carriers quickly! In the future, we may see Oriental aircraft carriers One ship after another is launched!”

"Yes, we must increase military spending, otherwise we will fall behind!"

As these external pressures continue to increase, the new round of U.S. naval appropriation budget has finally increased a lot. The U.S. Navy is happy, and the U.S. shipyards are happy. As for the extra money, at most they can just issue national bonds. Anyway, the U.S. Navy is happy. Don’t worry about selling your debt.

On the other side, the Asans looked at the mess at the Cochin Shipyard with mixed emotions.

"Within ten years, we may not be able to build the next aircraft carrier." Kumar, who took over from Sunil, came to the Cochin Shipyard for inspection and heard the report of the person in charge, Atul.

"Why?"

"First of all, the dock here is abandoned. We need to rebuild the dock, which will cost a lot of money and time. We estimate that it will take at least five years to build the dock."

"Even if this is the case, we can start building an aircraft carrier in five years!"

"We also need gantry cranes. It is difficult for us to purchase large gantry cranes. At present, the largest gantry crane produced in the West is only two thousand tons. We cannot build large sections and can only use traditional tower construction methods. It is expected that in the shipyard It will take more than five years. And, most importantly, our aircraft carrier experts..."

Shipbuilding requires not only equipment, but also people! This gantry crane collapse accident damaged the aircraft carrier segment and killed many people. Alex was just one of the people who died, and many experts also died!

They no longer have aircraft carrier experts themselves. If they want a new aircraft carrier, they can only hire foreign experts. However, facts have proven that foreign experts are unreliable.

"If we don't have experts, we can hire experts. If we don't have large gantry cranes, we will buy small ones. In short, we must continue to develop aircraft carriers. We cannot be constrained to land!" Kumar said with a face full of reluctance: "Also, should we Can’t you make your own gantry crane? This kind of key equipment must not be controlled by others!”

Can Asan build his own gantry crane?

Artur didn't answer, what a joke! How can their Ah San have this ability? Americans don’t have the ability to build gantry cranes, so they all purchase them from the East!

"If the Orientals can build a 25,000-ton gantry crane, then we can build a 30,000-ton gantry crane! We Indians have money, and as long as we work hard, we will definitely reap rewards!" Kumar was full of energy.

Hearing him say that he had money, Atul suddenly realized: "If the higher-ups are willing to allocate funds, then our Cochin Shipyard is willing to develop advanced gantry cranes, and we Indians will also become a major country in manufacturing gantry cranes!"

No matter whether he can build it in the end, let's get the funds first!

PS: It's the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket!
