A battleship can displace several thousand tons at any time. However, it is definitely not that this battleship is made of several thousand tons of steel. It includes all the equipment of the entire battleship, such as fuel and fresh water, which will occupy To a large part of the displacement.

For example, an oil tanker is 100,000 tons, but the real hull uses only a few thousand tons of steel, mainly because the crude oil transported inside is very heavy.

Now, it is not easy for Qin Guan to get tens of thousands of tons of scrap steel. When he was doing large-scale steel training, all households across the country contributed all the scrap iron, even the pot in his own home. The results of it? The national output is only 10 million tons, but there are several million tons of scrap steel.

Now, Qin Guan's need for 10,000 tons of steel is indeed a big problem. When he heard the quantity of steel Qin Guan wanted, General Zhao couldn't help but frowned.

There are too many, what should I do?

The navy is still very young. The small navy gunboats are useless if they are towed. The hundreds of tons of gunboats are just a drop in the bucket. The biggest one is the four old four King Kongs, although there are new four. Donkey Kong, but the old one can't just be scrapped like this. Anyway, it is also the largest warship in the country.

This steel problem is not easy to solve.

You know, back then, during World War II, when a country wanted to build a battleship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, it was almost all national mobilization. Once it was built, it would need to use half of the country’s steel output. All are the best steel.

Now, I can't find so much steel, how can I solve it?

"It's better to have a large warship, the kind of abandoned large warship." Seeing General Zhao worry, Qin Guan is also following the discussion, it is best to have a large abandoned warship. A few ships will be enough, but, Those baby bumps in the Navy will never be abandoned.

"Where's the shipwreck? Can the shipwreck work?" Suddenly, General Zhao remembered something.

In the sea not far from our side, a tragic naval battle broke out hundreds of years ago. At that time, the most powerful Beiyang navy and countless warships were buried on the bottom of the sea. The average water depth here is dozens of Rice, as long as you spend your energy, you can salvage it.

After all, the Navy itself owns salvage ships.

Those sunken ships have a history of hundreds of years. They are rusty underwater. As long as they don’t affect the channel, no one wants to salvage them. Now, they just need steel. I just don’t know if this kind of steel will work. In other words, the shipbreaking plant would not want it.

"Okay, sunken ship will do too." Qin Guan also thought of General Zhao's idea and said, "This is a good idea!"

Now, just to exchange a Nitka system, you need tens of thousands of tons of steel. Later, when you have exchanged aircraft carriers and submarines, you will also need tens of thousands of tons of steel. This problem is not easy to solve. , Can't take brand new steel, right? Waste utilization is the best.

Now, General Zhao has given an opportunity to salvage the sunken ship!

Qin Guan was standing in front of the window at this time, looking at the stars on the sea outside. In that sea area, there used to be the most powerful navy, but because of system problems, it was finally defeated. That was the most convincing one. The age of speechless people.

Without a powerful country, there can be no powerful navy. The navy defends the motherland and the motherland builds the navy. These are mutually reinforcing issues.

"Okay, then we are ready to salvage immediately." General Zhao said. This is very simple. Just find the location of the sunken ship and use the salvage boat to salvage it. In the past, I felt that this kind of salvage was not profitable. No one is going to do it. Now that there is a demand, the navy can salvage it.

"We have to determine the location of this base." General Zhao continued.

Where is the base construction?

Naval aviation needs to take off and land frequently. Moreover, the training base of this aircraft carrier must be kept secret, and the neighborhood must be quiet. It is best if there is no traffic.

"It's best to find an island nearby." Qin Guan said, building a base on an island is better than building a land, which reduces the chance of being concerned.

"Then Chrysanthemum Island." General Zhao said, facing an area quite clearly.

Chrysanthemum Island, the mountain is full of brightly colored wild chrysanthemums in full bloom, so it is named. This is a scenic area, but it has not been developed into a tourist resort.

In later generations, this is the training base for the carrier-based aviation of the Han State. Training in such a scenic area obviously provides a better living environment for officers and soldiers.

Now that I have crossed over by myself, it is of course possible to predict the open space around the base. For example, all the open spaces around the base will be assigned to the base. Those real estate developers who have been able to save can set their sights on their own side, or even the open space around the base. , I first built a house to serve as a stationing area for the officers and soldiers of the base, so that nature would be protected.

You must know that although such a training base only trains dozens of pilots, the required staff, if all, add up, may be thousands of people. If they have free housing, they will be more likely to stay. .

Anyway, the North Industries Corporation does not worry about funds. Doing this on its own is for the motherland. Why not?

Qin nodded his head: "Then Juhua Island. After the sunken ships are salvaged, they can be dragged to Juhua Island."

"These are all resolved, then we still have a problem, that is, who will fly first." General Zhao continued.

The take-off and landing of the carrier-based aircraft is like an acrobat walking a tightrope. When Xiong Guo was born from scratch, it took a lot of effort. Finally, the Su-27 carrier-based aircraft was modified and landed first. The pilot at the time was Sukhoi's chief test pilot.

Such tasks must be flown by the most experienced pilots.

Therefore, after hearing General Zhao's words, Qin Guan frowned: "Well, should we choose the best-skilled pilots from the navy to train?"

General Zhao had a wry smile on his face: "I'm afraid it won't happen. Our pilot, Fei Tomcat has inexperienced. It's best to find someone with the most experience to fly."

Speaking of the most experienced and famous, there is only one in the country.

Qin Guan asked General Zhao: "You mean Chen Rui?"

General Zhao nodded: "Yes, it's him."

General Zhao meant that he wanted to invite Chen Rui to fly. However, Chen Rui has always been a member of the Air Force. When he was transferred to fly the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, the Air Force would definitely not let him go. Qin Guan came to work.

Is anyone more suitable than Chen Rui? Absolutely not, this is a flying genius!
