Chapter 172 Super Aircraft Carrier

In the huge mountain space, a group of high-tech workers were busy on the aircraft carrier. What they were currently installing was the final catapult plan that Dong Chen finalized a few days ago.

Since this is a secret scientific research base, in order to minimize the possibility of exposure, such places generally have complete industrial production equipment, and the equipment is currently the best in the country.

So after Director Sun issued the order, a large number of technicians worked in three shifts. In just a few days, a prototype of a new electromagnetic catapult was produced. Now the technical workers on the aircraft carrier are doing the final work. Debugging and preparing for the upcoming ejection experiment.

Dong Chen walked around the aircraft carrier with a tablet computer. After a while, he came here, said a few words to the technicians who were inspecting, and then made a few strokes on the tablet. After a while, he walked to another place. Say a few words to the technician who is tuning the machine, and then make a few strokes on the tablet.

Sometimes Dong Chen would personally debug the equipment. After all, it was designed by him. It was not until Dong Chen crossed out the last item to be checked on the tablet that he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Phew, finally everything has been checked." It’s done, you can conduct ejection experiments at any time.”

After checking it again and confirming that it was correct, Dong Chen signed his name on it with an electronic pen, then turned on the intercom on his ear and said: "Director, the various systems of the electromagnetic catapult have been checked, and you can proceed to the next step. It’s one item.”

As soon as Dong Chen finished speaking, Director Sun's voice came from the intercom: "Are you sure it's correct?"

"Yes, it's confirmed. I've signed the inspection report." Dong Chen confirmed.

"Okay, then you can leave the ship and I will announce the next order."

"Yeah." Dong Chen hummed, turned off the intercom, and started to pack up and leave the ship. At this time, the sound of announcements also sounded throughout the dock.

"All construction workers, please pay attention. All construction workers, please leave the ship immediately. The dock will be filled with water in twenty minutes."

"All construction workers, please pay attention. All construction workers, please pay attention. Please leave the ship immediately. We will return to the dock in twenty minutes..."

After hearing the broadcast, all the construction workers on the aircraft carrier quickly packed up their tools and then disembarked from the aircraft carrier through various connection exits.

Dong Chen also brought his tablet computer to the observation room above, which is located just above the dock gate. There are observation windows on both sides of the observation room, which can observe the dock and the test site respectively. It serves as the command center of the shipyard and the test site. A large number of technicians are busy in front of their computers.

The big guys sitting in the observation seats saw Dong Chen coming. Director Sun smiled and said to him, "How is it? Are you confident?"

Dong Chen put the tablet in his hand on the table with a confident expression on his face, "No problem at all, it will definitely succeed."

"Haha, okay, then I'll wait to accept the compliment." Director Sun smiled happily, and the others also laughed happily. They had already carefully understood Dong Chen's new electromagnetic ejection system. Indeed, The feasibility is very high.

"Director, all the construction workers have left the ship." While the two were talking, a staff member came over and said to Director Sun.

After listening to the staff's report, Director Sun turned his attention to Chief Engineer Liu, "What's going on, Chief Engineer Liu, you make the announcement."

"Me? Haha, that's okay. Since you are so humble, I won't be polite." Mr. Liu said happily without refusing at all.

"Look, this old Liu was clearly thinking about this. He was sitting there upright just now, as if he had nothing to do with him. Now his secret has been revealed." Director Sun seemed to have revealed something, and turned to face Several other big guys said.

Everyone else knew about the relationship between the two brothers, so they didn't say anything and just watched happily.

However, Chief Engineer Liu didn't care about the ridicule. He stood up and walked towards the window facing the dock. Everyone saw that Chief Engineer Liu ignored them and was about to issue an order, so they also got up and followed them.

Everyone looked at the giant super aircraft carrier below and couldn't help but feel proud. This is a super aircraft carrier that is on par with the most advanced aircraft carriers in the United States. After many years, they have finally caught up.

No, if this test is successful, this aircraft carrier will officially surpass the latest aircraft carrier in the United States and become the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world.

Chief Engineer Liu turned on the microphone on the console and leaned forward slightly. "Attention everyone, the dock is starting to fill with water."

Following Chief Engineer Liu's words, the alarm in the dock rang, and the yellow warning lights in all directions flashed to remind people to pay attention to the situation. The observers were all in place, watching the people slowly pouring in. Seawater, monitoring possible emergencies.

Seawater slowly pours in through the dock's inlet and drainage system. The seawater slowly flows to the aircraft carrier in the dock under artificial control. It brings almost no momentum to the ship and has minimal impact on the hull structure and superstructure. Under the current advanced technological regulation and monitoring, the process of filling the dock with water is basically not dangerous, but as a precaution, some manual monitoring is still needed.

It's just that these people have plenty of time to wait. Filling the dock with water is a slow job. In order to minimize the impact on the ship, the water filling process can take at least a few hours or up to a few days, so wait slowly.

Dong Chen also looked at the water below through the window. He saw that the water slowly covered the entire bottom of the dock, and then began to slowly raise the water surface. Finally, Dong Chen's eyes were fixed on the aircraft carrier in the middle.

As Dong Chen stayed here longer and longer, he learned more and more about this aircraft carrier, which was also what he needed to know for his work.

This aircraft carrier is indeed the fourth step of the aircraft carrier plan, which is the continued construction of the Ningliao, the domestically produced Type 001 and the Type 003 after the Type 002.

The aircraft carrier in front of them has not been officially named, so they usually call it the Type 003 No. 1 ship. This aircraft carrier is 340 meters long, 80 meters wide, 12 meters deep, and has a standard displacement of 105,000 tons. The full load displacement is 120,000 tons, and the overall displacement is slightly larger than the "Ford". You can see the bad intentions of the rabbit here.

Alas, I have a minute's silence for Yingjiang, and I met such a rogue rabbit.

In addition, this aircraft carrier is equipped with three domestically produced nuclear reactors, which is also helpless. Domestic materials and technology have always been a weakness, so only three reactors can basically reach the energy supply level of the "Ford" .

Fortunately, domestic reactors are better at miniaturization. The three reactors occupy not much more space on the aircraft carrier than the Ford. The surging power provided by the three reactors can also allow the Type 003 aircraft carrier to reach a speed of more than 30 knots. speed.

Then there are the radar systems, weapon systems, integrated power management systems, stealth performance, etc. on the aircraft carrier, which have made major breakthroughs. It can be said that they are on par with the "Ford" aircraft carrier.

Since the equipment within the ship is fully networked and computerized, the overall automation of Type 003 is extremely high, effectively reducing manpower requirements. It is estimated that the total manpower will only be 1,800 people, otherwise the training manpower for the Ningling and 001A aircraft carriers It's really not enough. You know, the two Type 002 aircraft carriers are about to be launched.

Moreover, Dong Chen has now completely solved the electromagnetic ejection system. At this point, it can be said that he has reached the front of the United States.

With electromagnetic catapults and advanced arresting systems, the weight range of ejecting and arresting carrier-based aircraft is larger and more flexible. It can eject not only heavy carrier-based aircraft, but also larger early warning aircraft and bombers, and it can also eject carrier-based drones of more than ten tons, and it can all take off with a full load. This is Dong Chen's contribution.

This has made sufficient preparations for the "Black Ribbon" fighters that have been preparing to board the ship, and it is said that there are not many prepared over there. This is also thanks to the secret deals Dong Chen made with them.
