Chapter 273 This Is Not My Limit

"Professor Luo, I didn't expect that just modifying an aircraft carrier would require so much work."

Compared with Ning Chen's previous psychological expectations, the work everyone did was actually more complicated.

"Yes, this work is much more complicated than people think. Otherwise, there would not be only a handful of countries in the world capable of designing, manufacturing and using aircraft carriers."

At that time, in order to transport the predecessor of 001 back to the country, the country also paid a lot and overcame many difficulties. It was far from as simple as buying it.

Although this first modified aircraft carrier has relatively limited combat effectiveness, it has great significance for scientific research, experimentation and training, and can help us create a truly domestic aircraft carrier.

After staying at Bincheng Shipyard for a few days, Ning Chen returned to Shengzhou with satisfaction.

In the past few days, Ning Chen basically understood what he wanted to know, and his mastery of knowledge about ships and even aircraft carriers has reached a high level.

At this time, Ning Chen already had a lot of ideas in his mind. He was just waiting to present these ideas and verify the feasibility of these ideas after returning.

After returning home, Ning Chen sat at his desk and began to sort out his design ideas.

Ning Chen first thought about the specific type of aircraft carrier he would design.

If classified according to power type, aircraft carriers can be divided into conventional power aircraft carriers and nuclear power aircraft carriers.

Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are undoubtedly a more powerful aircraft carrier, but they need to solve the problem of nuclear power devices, which is technically more difficult to do.

With Xia's current technological level, it would be more prudent to start designing a conventionally powered aircraft carrier.

But Ning Chen didn't feel entangled in this.

At worst, we can design both types of aircraft carriers. For the nuclear-powered device, we can not consider the specific technical issues first, but just design the big frame first.

Ning Chen first began to design a conventionally powered aircraft carrier. For this type of aircraft carrier, Ning Chen's design plan will be more conservative.

"The ship is 320 meters long, 80 meters wide, and has a displacement of about 80,000 tons. It uses a steam turbine to drive a propeller for propulsion. The catapult can directly use electromagnetic ejection..."

Soon, Ning Chen determined the rough data of this conventionally powered aircraft carrier and began to carry out more detailed design work.

This work is very complicated because there are so many parts inside the aircraft carrier. If the design is completely manual, the amount of work required is an extremely huge number.

Fortunately, Ning Chen has an artificial intelligence like Xiaozhi as an assistant. Many tasks can be handed over to Xiaozhi to handle, and he can just control the main body.

The software used by Ning Chen to design the aircraft carrier is a special modeling software that comes with Xiaozhi. It is very convenient to use and is far easier to use than other modeling software on the market.

Finally, after several days of design work, this conventionally powered aircraft carrier appeared completely in Ning Chen's computer.

During the entire design period, Ning Chen used the state of concentration hundreds of times, which helped Ning Chen solve many complex problems more quickly.

Ning Chen's design is very detailed. If you enlarge the design drawing, you can even see every rivet and screw clearly.

The entire aircraft carrier is very expensive to build. Just one rivet and screw is worth more than an ordinary car.

On an aircraft carrier, there are as many as 100 million such rivets and screws, and the value of the entire aircraft carrier is self-evident.

After completing all the design work for the first aircraft carrier, Ning Chen used Xiaozhi's modeling processing capabilities to verify the performance of the aircraft carrier.

In fact, according to Xiaozhi's previous ability, it would be difficult to test such a large device.

But after entering the quantum leap, Xiaozhi's abilities increased very quickly, and there was another qualitative leap in ability compared to before.

This also gave Xiaozhi the ability to test very large equipment, without letting Ning Chen waste the number of tests in brain simulation.

Quantum Leap not only speeds up Xiaozhi's learning ability, but also speeds up Xiaozhi's computing power.

After some testing by Xiaozhi, the final test data of this aircraft carrier was officially released.

Xiaozhi's assessment of this aircraft carrier was basically the same as Ning Chen's previous estimate, and there were no problems.

With such test results, Ning Chen felt a lot more confident.

Because Xiaozhi's test is very comprehensive and simulated, it can take into account most situations and is more realistic than any simulation software on the market.

After completing the test of the first aircraft carrier, Ning Chen was not satisfied.

"Since there is no response from the system mission interface, it still means that the design of this aircraft carrier has not reached the D-level level." Ning Chenxin said.

Because the requirement of the system task is that as long as Ning Chen completes the design, the task is completed, and there is no need to manufacture the equipment.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, from the moment Ning Chen completes the design, he can know whether the design meets the requirements of the system.

In order to be more sure of his guess, Ning Chen decided to ask the system about the rating of this aircraft carrier in the system.

"System, what level does this conventionally powered aircraft carrier I designed count to you?"

[The system rating of the corresponding device is being evaluated...]

【Assessment completed! The rating of this conventionally powered aircraft carrier is: E-class]

After receiving the system's reply, Ning Chen felt a little helpless.

"It turns out to be another E-class design... So, this conventionally powered aircraft carrier is the same level of design as Quantum Leap?"

There is essentially no relationship between the two, but if Ning Chen must find any similarities, these are all works designed by Ning Chen with all his strength.

This made Ning Chen feel powerless for a moment, as if no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to design a more outstanding work.

But soon, Ning Chen suddenly figured out something.

"No, neither quantum leap nor this conventionally powered aircraft carrier is the limit of my current abilities! I can definitely make better designs!"

Ning Chen thought this way not just for self-motivation, but through careful analysis, he discovered the problem.

Because when designing quantum leap and conventionally powered aircraft carriers, what Ning Chen was thinking about was whether his design could be applied in a short time.

Ning Chen is a very pragmatic person. If his design cannot be applied to reality in a short period of time, Ning Chen will feel that this design is very empty.

This is different from Ning Chen's habit in mathematical research, especially in the design of quantum leap and conventionally powered aircraft carriers. Ning Chen always holds the idea of ​​​​manufacturing these designs in the short term.

It was precisely because of this thought that Ning Chen's creativity was subconsciously curbed, preventing Ning Chen from exerting his strongest ability.

"Anyway, the system requirements are just designs, and they don't really ask me to manufacture these designs... I'll just finish the design part first. As for when it can be manufactured, let's talk about it later."

In other words, no matter when what Ning Chen designs is actually manufactured, it will not affect the system's assessment of whether the task has been completed.

Soon, Ning Chen determined a new research direction.

That is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Ning Chen did not immediately design a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier before because he considered that with the current domestic technology, it would be difficult to achieve a breakthrough in nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in a short time.

But if it was just design, Ning Chen felt that the difficulty would be much easier.

This time, Ning Chen did not consider any manufacturing difficulty issues and focused entirely on the design itself.

This also allowed Ning Chen to no longer be subject to any restrictions and could finally design without any baggage.

"This time the captain is set at 340 meters, the ship is 45 meters wide, the maximum speed is 35 knots, the number of aircraft carried is 100, the power system uses two nuclear reactors, and the displacement can reach 100,000 tons..."

As the design began, Ning Chen gradually found a feeling that he had never felt before.

It has to be said that Ning Chen’s design became full of spirituality after being freed from the constraints of practical technical problems.

It's completely different from the hand-wringing design that needed to take into account various real-world technical factors like before.

Finally, after several days of work, Ning Chen finally completed the design of the entire nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

At this moment, Ning Chen received a reminder that the system task was completed.

[It is detected that the host has completed the task: design a large-scale equipment of D level and above]

[Get mission reward: 1000 skill experience (can be used for the host’s special skills)]

[The mission system has been updated...]

[Task: Ask the host to manufacture the D-level and above large-scale equipment just designed]

[Task introduction: This is the most outstanding design in the history of the host, but completing the design work does not mean the end of all work. Try to present your design into the real world with the help of others]

[Task reward: 20,000 subject experience points (can only be used for L3 and above subjects)]

[Note: After the subject level is upgraded to Lv4, the understanding of the subject will achieve a qualitative breakthrough. Specific changes are left to the host to explore on his own]

After reading the information released by the system, Ning Chen suddenly felt a little regretful.

"If I had known that the next mission would be related to the previous mission, I wouldn't have involved a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier."

Ning Chen knew that it might take several years or even longer to build an aircraft carrier from scratch.

Not to mention, this is still a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which needs to solve more problems than a conventionally powered aircraft carrier.

Even if it takes ten years, it may not be possible to build this aircraft carrier.

"Hey...I won't spend ten years on a system task, right?"

At this time, Ning Chen couldn't wait to refresh the mission immediately, even if it cost some energy points, it was acceptable.

While Ning Chen was thinking about these issues, he only heard the news coming from the system again.

[Warm improvement, through the system lottery function, you have the opportunity to obtain task refresh coupons]

After hearing the news from the system, Ning Chen couldn't help but talk to himself.

"This system... is actually in my mind in the helmet. Is the system a lottery? If there is no free opportunity, I will definitely not use it."

Ning Chen knew that this was probably another test of the system. If he really spent energy points in exchange for the chance to win the lottery, he would have fallen into the system's trap.

I have used the lottery opportunities given by the system to conduct many primary and intermediate lottery draws before, but I have never seen such a thing as a task refresh coupon.

Even if such a thing really existed in the system's prize pool, the probability of winning would be very low.

After trying to calm down, Ning Chen felt that this task was not as difficult to achieve as imagined.

Although generally speaking, it will take at least several years to build an aircraft carrier, but as long as conditions permit, this time can be greatly shortened.

In the past, America was able to build an aircraft carrier at a terrifying speed within a week.

Of course, such aircraft carriers are still full of water. They are not only modified from commercial ships, but most of them are blind escorts with little effect.

However, this also proves to a certain extent that the construction of aircraft carriers is not as difficult as imagined.

What's more, as "infrastructure maniacs", under special circumstances, it is possible for us to burst into incredible construction speeds.

"Hey, even if I can't complete this task within a short period of time, it's not a big deal. Without the guidance of the system task, it won't have much impact on my research."

Ning Chen admitted that when he first got the system, the system did bring about subversive changes to him.

But as he continues to grow, the impact of the system on Ning Chen is getting smaller and smaller.

The current system tasks are just the icing on the cake for Ning Chen. Ning Chen will not even be allowed to change his scientific research route at will because of the system tasks.

After adjusting his mentality, Ning Chen first focused on the system rewards he had just received.

"Skill experience...then just add it directly to the concentration state."

After these days of contact, Ning Chen has accumulated a lot of experience in the ability to focus.

However, these accumulated experience points are not enough for Ning Chen to upgrade his level. The thousand skill experience points obtained this time just help Ning Chen directly upgrade his concentration state to level two.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen said silently in his heart:

"System, add all these 1,000 skill experience points to the concentration state!"

[Received, the system is adding experience points to the host...]

[1000 skill experience points have been added to the concentration state]

[Congratulations to the host, for raising the concentration status to Lv2! 】
