Chapter 259 The aircraft carrier "Hedong" appears, shocking the world!
Yanjing, Xia Academy of Sciences.
In the morning, the warm sun is melting the snow on the ground.
In the dean's office.
The sounds of turning pages and typing on keyboards were heard constantly. Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing were immersed in processing the documents piled up like a 'hill bag' in front of them.
Even though the two of them had arrived at the office at six in the morning, more than four hours had passed, but the thickness had not faded much.
Now that the end of the year is approaching, the tasks on their shoulders have become much heavier.
Counting matters related to the 'Great Wall Watch Organization', even if relevant departments assist, decisions still need to be made by them, and various related projects require the two people to pay attention at all times.
And just the summary of various scientific research tasks at the end of the year of Xia Ke Academy also consumes a lot of energy from the two people.
Every scientific research institute, every scientific research unit below, and even the departments indirectly under the management of Xia Ke Academy, whether it is applying for large amounts of funding or next year's scientific research tasks, is also the responsibility of Zhang Yuli and others.
Moreover, 10 years is a critical node, which is related to the future strength of Daxia, and even the critical opportunity to overtake Yingjiang. No matter what, we cannot slack off for a moment.
The documents on their desks were also major scientific research projects.
[2010 R&D progress budget for nuclear magnetic resonance scanners. 2010 application and manufacturing budget for in-situ high-precision electron microscopes]
【.】
While the two of them were dealing with these documents.
"That's right." Zheng Lixing seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhang Yuli next to him: "Old Li, let us go to the boss to beg for mercy!"
“Their factory can only deliver 1,000 ‘military version of the Scorpion’ in the first quarter. The remaining two thousand will not be delivered until the third quarter.”
Zheng Lixing looked at the message in his hand and couldn't help but said with a smile: "This Lao Li is indeed driven by Lao Kong."
He heard that Li Yunshan had been in the workshop for two or three days after Kong Jianmin left. He would not leave the 732 Military Factory even to eat or sleep. He just wanted to complete the expansion of the production line as quickly as possible.
However, even if he worked so hard, he still could not produce as many as 3,000 aircraft within half a year, which could not meet the needs of the final assembly department.
Instead, it can only deliver 1,000 aircraft in the first quarter, and the remaining 2,000 aircraft will be delivered gradually within half a year. This is estimated to be the limit.
"After all, it's difficult for him. He can't delay the foreign trade orders." Zhang Yuli raised his head and shook his head slightly: "If he can produce a thousand aircraft in one quarter, I guess that is his limit."
The "military version of the Scorpion long-range bomber" is higher in terms of performance and manufacturing difficulty, and it will not be possible to mass-produce it on a large scale for a while.
If it were just this, it wouldn't give Li Yunshan such a headache, but foreign trade arms orders cannot be delayed for a moment, and they must be delivered on time and in quantity,
First, because these two to thirty billion U.S. dollars of foreign trade orders will give the entire military industry system of Daxia a serious bite of fat.
Such a large order can make Daxia earn tens of billions of dollars in profits. How many destroyers or even aircraft carriers can it build?
If they just let the money go, the Military Industrial Commission will probably go crazy.
More importantly, this is a good opportunity to expand market share.
The first cooperation must leave a good impression on buyers all over the world. The delivery has been scheduled for several years, and if this continues to be delayed.
How can we compete with Eagle Sauce to capture market share in the future? Even countries such as Mao Zedong and France are eyeing this piece of meat. They cannot develop high-tech technologies like the Scorpion long-range bomber. At worst, they will fool around with some low-end substitutes, which is also very likely to happen.
"Their production lines are insufficient and it is impossible to produce more." Zheng Lixing sighed: "There is no way around this."
This is not because there is a shortage of raw materials, or because Li Yunshan is unwilling to process and increase production, but because the production line cannot meet the objective condition of demand.
You can't relax on foreign trade orders, but you can't disobey the orders issued by the General Assembly Department. Li Yunshan is caught in the middle and is in a dilemma.
Read this.
"I think we can set up a general assembly factory specifically to produce 'Scorpion UAVs'..." Zheng Lixing thought: "Aren't they also developing 'Hivecomb UAVs'? This way production resources can be allocated."
For example, the previous "small drone" industry has been distributed to many other military factories for production, so it was able to explode production capacity in a short period of time.
As for this 'Scorpion long-range drone', Daxia is definitely not satisfied with the production rate of only a few hundred units per month.
This production speed is really too slow. If we can build thousands or even tens of thousands of them every month, the production cost of this kind of 'unmanned bomber' will be pushed to the limit, even one million yuan. All very likely.
When the cost of this bomber is not as high as an anti-aircraft missile, the offensive and defensive situation will change greatly.
Faced with Daxia’s overwhelming launch of ‘Scorpion unmanned bombers’, how does the enemy defend itself?
If you launch anti-aircraft missiles to intercept, it will be a loss. If you don't intercept, it will be an even greater loss if the designated target is bombed. No matter what the choice, Daxia wins!
Hear this.
"Well, it's time to set up a general assembly plant." Zhang Yuli nodded: "I'll talk to the boss later."
It just so happens that it can relieve the pressure on the 732 Military Factory and concentrate on the development of cutting-edge technologies such as 'hive drones'.
That's when.
Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang.
When Zhang Yuli took it over, he said: "What? You're not kidding me, are you?"
After that, he remained frozen in place, the expression on his face changing unpredictably.
"What's the news? Look at you so happy!" Zheng Lixing saw this scene and asked quickly.
Just the uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth and the slightly trembling hands of this old friend who has been with him for many years are enough to see the excitement and joy in his heart.
He has always been like "the mountain collapses but his appearance remains unchanged". Any major news can make Zhang Yuli so excited.
Hear the words.
Zhang Yuli stared into the distance, as if he wanted to see the scenery thousands of miles away through the window of Xia Ke Academy, and murmured: "Our aircraft carrier"
"It can finally sail!"
Fu Hai called just now and said that the main appearance of the '002' aircraft carrier has been renovated.
You can conduct surface ship trials at any time, which is also formal sea training!
Time goes back a few hours.
It was around four o'clock in the morning, and the entire sky was still shrouded in darkness.
Qindao, North Sea Fleet base.
Fu Hai looked at the 'shipyard shelter' in the distance, which was seventy or eighty meters high like a towering skyscraper, abruptly spanning the port of the base.
Thinking of the items stored inside, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
He recalled that more than a month ago, when Fu Hai went to the Southern Fleet base for inspection, the scene at that time was so similar to today.
At that time, I still didn’t understand why, the poor brother who had been suffering so much, why did Wang Guanghai’s Southern Fleet suddenly have an amphibious assault ship? And it has a displacement of more than 40,000 tons!
Fu Hai even went to his superiors in a daze to ask for an explanation, asking them where the North Sea Fleet fell short.
Now Fu Haicai knew that all of this came from the mysterious "Great Wall Watch" organization. The more he learned about this organization, the more shocked he became.
This method, this ability, simply exceeded his imagination for an organization. Eagle Sauce is just like their family, you can get whatever you want. Isn’t it too outrageous?
"Now, it's Lao Wang's turn to envy me." Fu Hai muttered, smiling with a red face.
Wang Guanghai's Southern Fleet holds an 'amphibious assault ship', while their North Sea Fleet holds an 'aircraft carrier'.
Even this is a straight aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons and uses steam ejection. Is it not several times better than that "amphibious assault ship"?
Even in terms of apparent combat power, their North Sea Fleet is still the well-deserved leader of the Great Xia Navy.
Thinking of this, he looked at the deputy next to him and ordered: "Just remove the shield. Let our 'Hedong' open the eyes of the world."
Because this aircraft carrier No. 002 belongs to the North Sea Fleet and belongs to the northern region.
Moreover, the "Pippi Shrimp" with the highest number of votes did not comply with Daxia's naming standards, so it was named after the second-ranked "Hedong Province".
Coincidentally, it can be said to be a coincidence that Qindao's Beihai base is located in Hedong Province. For this reason, netizens in Hedong Province competed with people from other provinces for a long time before finally locking in this ranking.
Now that the time has come, there is no need to hide anything anymore.
It's time for this 'aircraft carrier' belonging to Daxia to show its edge to the world.
moment.
Several cranes in the distance began to move, and various large-scale construction tools were constantly busy.
In less than a moment, all the tight coverings that were covered just now were cleared away, leaving only the 'breathtaking' behemoth in the middle.
now.
Military fans who pay attention to the North Sea Fleet almost all the time also discovered this unusual sight.
More than ten kilometers away, there is a hill several hundred meters tall.
This is the highest overlooking point from the North Sea Fleet Port. When the line of sight is good, you can clearly see the distant port without even needing telephoto equipment.
Since this place does not involve any confidential issues, there is not much obstruction from the North Sea Fleet, as long as they do not get too close for filming.
When the 'inexplicable' shipyard shelter appeared, this place became a check-in point for many military fans. Military fans from around Qindao even came here to watch it every now and then.
Want to see what changes have taken place in that ‘shipyard’? When will it reveal its true face in Lushan?
Now, that time has arrived.
When the early morning fog gradually dissipated and everyone's vision became better and better, everyone unconsciously looked towards the port of the North Sea Fleet.
Objects that were once very familiar seemed to have simply disappeared today.
"Damn it, why did a shipyard suddenly disappear?" A military fan holding a telescope had a dull look on his face. Why is a dock as big as mine missing?
"How could it be? Could there be an accident?" A person next to him quickly took the telescope in his hand and focused on the port in the distance.
The original location of the dock was indeed reduced to nothing.
Just when he was confused, his eyes unconsciously glanced at a dock nearby. It seemed that something was attracting his attention.
"No. Did I see it wrong? That damn thing next to it is an aircraft carrier?" He pointed to the dock berth not far away with trembling fingers, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
Did he not wake up, or was he dazzled?
A huge ship, with a brand-new deck and an exterior paint that showed no signs of wear and tear, was shining brightly in the sun.
Next to it is a 052B destroyer, with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons, a length of 150 meters and a width of 16 meters. It is already considered a 'giant ship'.
But it looked so small in front of this giant thing, as if it couldn't bear the waves of it.
When they saw the flat deck without much undulations, all the military fans present guessed what it was without spending much effort! !
"Our aircraft carrier finally showed up?"
When these words were just spoken, the sound of flashing photos could not be heard incessantly, and he didn't even bother to say another word.
After a while.
In the Daxia Military Forum, a piece of news first announced by CTV set off a storm in the entire forum.
[my country’s new ‘002’ aircraft carrier made its public appearance and was officially named: Hedong! 】
"Good guy, is it really an aircraft carrier?"
"It's not a war-terrorism situation? It's not a war-ignorance situation either? When did our Daxia become so honest!?"
"Holy shit, are we serious this time? Even if it's an aircraft carrier, it's also a 'steam catapult' conventionally powered large aircraft carrier?"
Almost all military fans inside and outside the forum made this sigh unconsciously.
They had always had doubts before. After all, CG pictures are still CG pictures, and the real thing is different.
I have never heard of it before. When Daxia was building a second aircraft carrier, why did it appear out of nowhere? It is even more impossible if it is even an aircraft carrier that competes with the 'Kitty Hawk' class.
A small number of people still doubt whether this is a smoke bomb used by Daxia to paralyze the whole world.
This even includes the strategic analysis teams of Yingjiang, Damao and other countries, who feel that this possibility is not small.
But now, this aircraft carrier has truly appeared in front of the world, and all the rumors have been dispelled.
Washington, Wood Point Building.
This night is another sleepless day, but all employees are used to this state. It would be strange if they don't stay up all night.
Inside the Office of Global Security Affairs.
Looking at the urgent document that came in his hand, Kimi Andreu felt even more solemn in his heart. His brows furrowed into a 'Chuan' shape: "I guessed it correctly, and it turned out to be the target of the 'Kitty Hawk'-class aircraft carrier."
"It's not a smoke bomb, nor a cover."
Kimi Andrew wanted to believe that he had guessed wrong, that his intuition was wrong. It was impossible for Daxia to suddenly build an 'aircraft carrier'!
I have always been taking a chance, what if Daxia is a smoke bomb this time? ? Although the probability is very small, it does not mean that it is impossible to happen.
As a result, it turned out that he was right. Daxia really had a steam catapult aircraft carrier.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad now, and he even seemed to be more scared inside.
Once Daxia has a dual or even three aircraft carrier fleet, the balance in the entire Asia-Pacific region will be directly broken.
Kimi Andreu became increasingly anxious. He hammered the table hard and shouted loudly to his assistant: "When will our Ford-class be launched into the water? I want to see the results as quickly as possible."
"We can't let Daxia catch up, at least we must ensure an absolute lead on the aircraft carrier!"
There are "steam catapult" aircraft carriers now, so when will Daxia have "nuclear power"? When will we have ‘nuclear power + electromagnetic catapult’! ?
Once that situation is reached, Daxia will have the confidence to overturn the table, and he will never tolerate this happening.
