Chapter 852 Ah San Aircraft Carrier Launched

   "After the measurement of satellite images, we believe that the length of their catapult orbit is about 110 meters." On the other side of the ocean, a group of people were analyzing satellite photos.

"The sheds have been built up to the position of the flame shield, but we know that the catapult will not extend to the flame shield. After all, the catapult hooks the front wheel of the fighter. We have to subtract the length of the fighter. If Counting the total length of the catapult system, it has reached more than 130 meters."

   "Our catapult is only 100 meters long. It seems that the technology of the Orientals is far behind ours."

"No, the Easterners should be using electromagnetic catapults, and their technology is an era ahead of ours." Swift put down his cigar and looked at these technicians solemnly: "We are still using backward steam catapults, so this It's like the difference between an ancient steam locomotive and a modern electric locomotive!"

   "Your Excellency Swift, we still can't tell what's inside. After all, they built a work shed to block the contents."

"We have photos of Wasteland Village, where they frequently perform electromagnetic ejection. We have never seen white smoke from their catapults. By the way, there was a catapult with white smoke next to it, but it has long since disappeared. Work." Swift said: "You are all the smartest intelligence analysts, don't you know how to synthesize these intelligence?"

"Yes, we are the best intelligence analysts, so we can't make a conclusion prematurely, because the Easterners have always liked to play all kinds of tricks, and what we see is likely to be made up by them. After all, the Eastern has specialized The strategic deception is used to confuse us."

   Swift nodded, it was true.

"Moreover, our unanimous analysis believes that if the Orientals are fooling us, it is the best. After all, it is still in the construction stage. This aircraft carrier has never been launched. If they install a catapult at this time, the stress will be reduced after the aircraft carrier is launched. Release, and their catapults will bend, and they'll probably lose all their work."

  Swift's eyes lit up.

  The progress of the aircraft carrier built by the Orientals is too fast, which makes them unbelievable. The technology of segmented construction has been mastered. Now, they want to see the Orientals deflated.

"In this way, even if their aircraft carrier is launched, it will continue to go through many repeated modifications, and it is still far away from being officially commissioned. After all, they have not mastered the real super aircraft carrier construction method." Swift said: "Look It's not too early to worry about it."

"Yes, we don't need to worry. We believe that within five years, or even ten years, this aircraft carrier will not be capable of combat. Although Mingzhou Group has built aircraft carriers, they are all small aircraft carriers of 20,000 to 30,000 tons. I don’t even know the difference between a super carrier and a small or medium carrier.”

"That's right, we don't have to worry, this Mingzhou Group is making trouble for us everywhere, and they will have to suffer a lot!" Swift took a sip of his cigar, and then said, "How is the situation in Siam? Are they still working on the canal?"

  The intelligence officer shook his head: "No, according to what we have now, Siam has not continued to blast the canal, but the construction team has always existed along that canal."

   "Don't worry, these people are just pretending." Swift said confidently: "Last time, the Singaporeans have reminded them that we in the United States do not allow them to build a canal. If they dare to do it, they are against us!"

  Swift is very confident. Of course he doesn’t know that the construction team has always existed to bury the explosives, but the detonation of the explosives needs to wait until all the explosives are almost buried and then detonated together.

   This is of course Qin Tao's idea. Mingxiu plank road secretly hides Chen Cang, let these people be paralyzed first, and finally blow up the entire canal at once, to see who else can stop the canal from starting!

At this time, Swift was finally relieved. He took the photos of the aircraft carrier taken by the satellite: "This photo has to be shown to the guys who manage the money, and tell them that if we don't allocate more funds to us, our Navy will have to pay for it." Falling behind! Huh, what is the use of appropriating NASA, within a hundred years, there will be no war on the moon."

   East.

  The one-day inspection is finally over, and everyone is very satisfied with the progress.

   "Every time I come to Mingzhou Group, I feel very shocked."

   "Yes, both expected and unexpected, Mr. Qin, you Mingzhou Group will always create surprises for us."

   "Everyone, don't give us a high hat. I don't promise to go into the water before the National Day." Qin Tao said.

   At this moment, Xu Zhengyang came to Qin Tao: "President Qin, just received the news that Ah San's aircraft carrier is about to launch!"

   "Going into the water? Their aircraft carrier just built a shell?"

   "It seems that there are not many shells made, right?"

   The big guy suddenly became excited.

   "Ah San is in such a hurry, is it because he knows that our aircraft carrier is about to launch, and they always compare with us, and they must be ahead of us?"

Qin Tao smiled: "Everyone must have guessed wrong. They are going to launch. The biggest possibility is that the construction period of the aircraft carrier is seriously delayed, and their dry dock has to build other warships. If there is no other way, they can only Let’s launch the aircraft carrier first. However, launching their aircraft carrier is not easy, so let’s just wait and see.”

  Asan Cochin Shipyard.

  This is Ah San's largest shipyard, so their Blue Sky Guardian was also built here. In the largest dry dock, a semi-finished product is standing there, waiting for the moment to be launched.

  This semi-finished product is painted light gray, and the waterline below is red and black. It looks like a completed warship, but from the top, you can see its semi-finished state.

The bow part of the ship has been built, and the leaping deck has a beautiful arc, which seems to show the progress of Asan's shipbuilding industry. However, the rear hull deck is as wide as the bow, and there is no beveled deck, and no On the ship island, there are two large pits in the center, and several sheds on the side. The deck does not extend to the stern, and a huge step is formed directly at the stern. This half-finished product still looks completely different.

Because the launching ceremony was going to be held, a circle of colorful flags was hung around the deck, and Asan's unique tassel decoration was hung on the jumping deck of the bow, which looked a little festive, but the whole scene seemed a bit nondescript .

   Is this an aircraft carrier, or a four-dimensional ship?

  Sunil stood on a stage set up outside the dry dock, delivering an impassioned speech.

"Today, I am very happy. Our Blue Sky Guardian is about to usher in the launch day. For us, this is an important moment!" Sunil's eyes were bright: "Our navy's existing aircraft carriers are Second-hand, this is the first time we have started to build a brand new aircraft carrier! This is our first domestically-made aircraft carrier!"

If the reporter's camera is further away, you can see a solitary aircraft carrier docked on the other side of the pier. That aircraft carrier looks very powerful, but it cannot be used because its strength is too weak to withstand it. The storm at sea was a failed outsourcing product, and it was precisely because of the stimulation of that failed product that Ah San decided to take the road of self-construction.

Although they also encountered many problems during the construction, for example, they did not have qualified steel, so they had to grit their teeth to purchase from Da Mao, for example, they had no construction experience, which caused a serious delay in time, but no matter what difficulties they encountered, they would be firm Keep going until the aircraft carrier is built! This is their mission!

"Now, when we look back on the whole construction process, we still regret it. When we first started construction, we had to purchase steel materials such as bulb flat steel and flight deck from Da Mao because we didn't have the relevant technology. However, their asking price was too high. It’s expensive! It’s definitely not something we can afford! So, we later learned from the painful experience and decided to build steel for aircraft carriers by ourselves. We manufactured a giant rolling mill with a width of five meters, and our Essar Iron and Steel Group independently smelted advanced steel for aircraft carriers. ! Through the construction of this aircraft carrier, our national defense technology has been further enhanced, and it can also be used in our other industrial fields!"

That's true, Ah San got tired of Da Mao's lion's big mouth, so he fiddled with it himself. In their mouths, Essar Iron and Steel Group independently refined high-yield steels similar to the American HY80 and HY-100 series. In this way, they became the fourth country in the world to master high-yield special steel for aircraft carriers.

  However, this is just their own statement, and no one knows what the truth is.

"Now, let me introduce to you the detailed data of our Blue Sky Guardian. The length of our aircraft carrier is 252 meters, the width is 60 meters, and the full load displacement exceeds 40,000 tons. At present, we plan to use the MiG-29K as the main ship. Carrier aircraft, combined with our Sea King helicopter and Ka-31 helicopter, allow our aircraft carrier to exert a huge combat effectiveness, far surpassing the 001 aircraft carrier in the east."

   Sure enough, no matter what Ah San does, she has to compare with Dongfang!

   This warship with a displacement of 40,000 tons insists that it is stronger than the first 60,000-ton aircraft carrier in the East. Only they have the ability to tell nonsense with their eyes open, and they don't blush at all.

   There were countless cheers below, and the applause echoed in the sky of the entire shipyard.

   "Now, I declare that the Blue Sky Guardian is launched!"

  Outside the dry dock, the water inlet slowly opened, opened, and sea water poured into the dock, but a worker in charge of releasing water from the nearby shipyard frowned.

  When did there be so much mud outside this dock?

Docks are divided into floating docks and dry docks. Floating docks can go up and down, move back and forth, and are very flexible. If there are ships that cannot move at sea, they can be directly driven to lift them up, so it is the best repair. boat tools.

However, it is impossible to build a floating dock that is too large. A dock of hundreds of thousands of tons can only be a dry dock. A dry dock is to dig a huge pit on the seashore, install a sluice, and open the water inlet. The ship floats up, which completes the launching work. The gate is opened, and the ship can be driven out by its own power, or it can be dragged out. Draining, the boat is exposed to the outside, which is convenient for maintenance on the outside of the hull, especially the propeller, drive shaft and other parts.

  The construction time of the Blue Sky Guardian inside is too long! After a few years of hard work, the seawater outside continued to impact and accumulate sediment, and a large piece of mud appeared outside the dock!

   At this time, other people didn't know, everyone was standing outside the dock, watching the sea water flowing in, watching the Blue Sky Guardian being surrounded by sea water, dancing with excitement.

   (There are many sayings that there were more than 300 cracks in the first launch, but Huadong Zhixiong felt that it was impossible. If there were so many, it would have sunk a long time ago, and it could finally serve? It should be a mouthful.)

  There is more and more sea water, and the draft of the Blue Sky Guardian is increasing little by little. Finally, when it is about to submerge the red part, the entire Blue Sky Guardian floats up.

   "It's floating, our warship has been built without any problems!" Many people became excited.

  The first step in launching the ship is to float the warship. If it does not float, or even enters the water, then the trouble will be serious.

  The Blue Sky Guardian got higher and higher, and finally, the sea water inside was level with the outside.

   "Okay, now the gate is undocked, where is our tugboat?" Sunil said excitedly.

  Actually, if the gates are opened directly, seawater can be poured in at once, but that is out of control. In case of an unexpected situation, such as a ship leaking, there is no time to react.

   The tugboat is outside, but there is no intention of coming in!

  Sunil was a little unhappy: "Bring the tugboat over here! We have such a grand ceremony, what are you doing?"

   "Report, our tugboat can't make it."

   "Why?" Sunil's face turned dark immediately.

   "Because the silt outside is too thick, we have to find a way to clear the silt first."

  The silt is too thick?

  Sunil looked over, but unfortunately he didn't have clairvoyant eyes, so he couldn't see the situation below at all.

   "Before this evening, the mud must be cleaned up, we can't let the whole world watch my jokes at this grand moment!"

   "Report, this is a bit difficult. Depending on the degree of silt, it is estimated that it will take a month."

   He hasn't said much for a month, but looking at Sunil's face now, he can't say much.

   "One month? What are you doing, we can't get the ship out of the dock at such a grand launch time?"

   "That's right, today is the grand launch time, but haven't we already launched?"

  What is launching? As long as a ship is submerged in seawater, it is called launching. We just said launching, did we mention the dock? Let's go into the water and see if the aircraft carrier can float, why not?

  Sunil gritted his teeth: "Everyone, our launching ceremony has come to a successful conclusion today!"

  The reporters were stunned, is it over?

   Is this the end? Your aircraft carrier is still in the dock.

  It's weird enough to launch into the water halfway through construction, and it's not even out of the dock yet? What are you going into the water for? Isn't it just to free up the dock for other things?

   Some people also noticed that there were ships operating at the dock. Maybe there was an accident there? For Ah San, the biggest surprise is no accident, and it is not uncommon for any accident to happen.

   East.

   "Ah San's launching ceremony is too funny, isn't it? He didn't drive out of the dock?" Everyone was stunned.

   "If I'm not wrong, there should be too much mud at the entrance of the dry dock, and the boats can't get out." Qin Tao said.

   Blocked by mud, unable to get out! This reason surprised everyone.

"I didn't expect Ah San to create another miracle in the history of shipbuilding. I really don't know what Ah San thinks. Wouldn't you check it in advance? Mr. Qin, if such an accident happens, what will you do?" ?”

"We have dredgers, and after three or five efforts, we opened the gate, but I guess Ah San must be reluctant to hire our dredgers." Qin Tao said: "They are slow After slowly digging, the ship should be able to go out in three months."

  Three months! The precious construction time of the dock was wasted like this, and only Ah San in the world could do it.

   "However, this aircraft carrier still looks decent. Ah San has worked hard, but it's a pity that there is no way to make a fuss on this aircraft carrier." Qin Tao felt a little regretful.

  The Chaori King that Ah San bought before was horribly cheated by Qin Tao, costing billions, and finally couldn't be used.

If Chaoriwang sails normally, Ah San is now a dual aircraft carrier formation, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. But now, Ah San can only use the old second-hand aircraft carrier. The second-hand aircraft carrier in service must be decommissioned, so Ah San still only has the size of one aircraft carrier.

   "I heard that the British are fooling Ah San into purchasing their Queen-class aircraft carrier." Someone said.

"The British definitely want to sell, so that they can share their construction expenses, but Ah San has the experience of being tricked by Lao Maozi, so how can he be easily hooked." Qin Tao said: "Besides, the British aircraft carrier is super expensive. Alas, it's a pity that Ah San can't save face, otherwise it would be the most suitable place to order from Mingzhou Group."

  Mingzhou Group order? How can it be? Ah San's eyes are not blind yet, the big guy thought so in his heart, but no one dared to say it out, Mr. Qin did a good trick! It would be better if the size of Ah San's navy could never be expanded.

   "Speaking of the British aircraft carrier, have they started work now?"

   "Yes, construction has already started. The British aircraft carrier is built in sections or built in different shipyards. It is said that this kind of construction is the fastest."

   "That's right, it's the fastest, but I don't know if they can guarantee the construction accuracy. If the two giant sections are not aligned when they are closed after they are built, it will be a big joke." Qin Tao said.

  Everyone was surprised for a while, and looked at Qin Tao in unison: Mr. Qin, did you do something wrong?

Seeing the meaning in the other party's eyes, Qin Tao quickly waved his hands: "What are you thinking? My hands can't be stretched that long. Well, today I also visited the nuclear reactor assembly factory in Dalieshan. You have eaten it. It's lunch time, should we go back?"

Originally, the high-ranking officials of the navy said that it was a one-day inspection time, but one day later, another day was added, and they suddenly remembered that there is a nuclear reactor assembly factory in Dalieshan, and the nuclear reactor of the 095 nuclear submarine is assembled here. They have to take a look. .

  So, Qin Tao could only bring them here, and watched them in Dalie Mountain for a morning, and continued to eat at the Mingzhou Group Guest House at noon. During the meal, he received the news of the launch of the Ah San aircraft carrier, and began to chat.

   Now, the big guys should go too, right? You can't live here all the time, our Mingzhou Group is not short of a few meals, but you still have your own jobs.

   "Yes, it's time to go back. Let's come back in a few days." Wu Shengli said.

  Qin Tao frowned, why? Is this trying to stay here to exert pressure so that the navy's aircraft carrier can be launched before the National Day?

   "Dad, why don't you pack up an office here? Let the capital send you the documents you need to deal with?"

"OK."

   "If the superior wants to see you, please ask the superior to come by plane?"

  Wu Shengli stopped talking, okay, your son-in-law's wings are hardened, and you dare to hate your father-in-law?

  However, what Qin Tao said is correct. Although the big guys are concerned about the aircraft carrier, they can't stay here forever. After all, we still have important things to do!

"Then let's go back, the National Day is coming soon, and there are still many things waiting for us." Wu Shengli said: "Our capital is waiting for the good news of Mingzhou Group, Taozi, are you staying Here, or go back?"

I?

  Of course I’m going back to the capital too. It’s okay for me to stay in the shipyard, and it’s not good to point fingers all day long.

   Just when Qin Tao was about to answer in this way, Xu Zhengyang walked in: "President Qin, there is good news from Siam, and the explosives are all in place!"

"So fast?"

   "That's right, with our Mingzhou Group participating, can you be unhappy?"

   "It seems that I have to go there again. I have to see such a spectacular scene." Qin Tao found a new mission.

   "Taozi, you played this hand beautifully." Wu Shengli suddenly became emotional.

   "How beautiful is it?"

   "Successfully diverted the attention of many people!" Wu Shengli said: "The recent series of incidents, the flash point is still in the Middle East, but after you make such a toss, the whole world is looking at Siam."

The U.S. Cole was bombed, angering Parthia, which caused a series of incidents, but now everyone is paying attention to the canal of Siam, and seems to have forgotten the bombed Cole .

"Dad, what does this have to do with me? I didn't want to meddle in the canal. It was you who insisted on entrusting me with this glorious and arduous task." Qin Tao said: "I was originally a shipbuilder, but in the end I had to Building airplanes, building rockets, building infrastructure, alas, I’m so busy that I don’t have any free time.”

you busy? In the entire Mingzhou Group, you seem to be the most leisurely!
