Chapter 305 New Era(1/3)

(The serial numbers of the previous chapters are messed up again. Don’t worry about it. Just read them in order. Just pretend that the serial numbers don’t exist.)
"China's first aircraft carrier is launched, and the navy enters a new era!"
"Named the Liaoning ship! It may be able to carry more than 40 carrier-based aircraft!"
"The 1130 close-in defense gun, the Haihongqi 10 air defense missile, and an unknown type of advanced radar system can compete with the Nimitz class!"
"From today on, move towards the deep blue!"
After the launch of the Liaoning ship, reports about this "first ship in history" were overwhelming. No matter how much we know about the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier, no matter how much we understand the significance of the aircraft carrier launch event, there is one thing that does not need to be thought about.
can draw conclusions.
That is:
Once others had something that we didn’t have, and now we have it too.
Even this alone is enough to excite all the people in the country.
You know, for a long time, aircraft carriers were equipment exclusive to the legendary "developed countries", and it can even be said to be exclusive to the United States.
Even Russia and Europe cannot afford aircraft carriers.
The Kuznetsov is already dying, the British Victory class has been sold long ago, the new aircraft carrier that has been in the air for many years is not even a shadow, and the so-called Izumo of the island nation is just a helicopter carrier.
What are they comparing to the Liaoning ship?
How can it be compared with this Liaoning ship, which has the 055 as its shield and the J-20 series as its sword?
The bright future of the Navy is already at hand—or, more accurately, the bright future of this country is at hand.
However, Chen Nian was not very interested in the cheering reactions on the Internet.
To be honest, there were so many new technologies and new equipment that broke out in China during this period, and the people's reactions were so frequent that Chen Nian was a little tired of it.
Not only him, but the public also feels vaguely aesthetic fatigue.
You know, when we first saw the J-20, everyone's reaction was still shock and ecstasy. By the time we got to the H-20, the temperature had cooled down a little. If it hadn't been for the big show during the Spring Festival Gala, the attention might still have been there.
It's really not that high.
And now, it’s an electromagnetic gun, another 055, and another Liaoning ship.
After reading more, everyone had strange thoughts in their minds:
Isn't this what it should be? Isn't this a matter of course?
We should have had large cruisers and aircraft carriers.
It’s already 2007, so it’s not too early, right?
Therefore, under such a "general idea", most of the discussion about the Liaoning ship is not about how strong it is or how difficult it is to build it, but how to make it stronger.
What? Or a ski jump? Hammer flat!
What? It’s not nuclear power? Tear it down and rebuild it!
What? The carrier-based aircraft capacity is only 40? Forget about adding more carrier-based aircraft. There is no need to add more carrier-based aircraft.
40 J-20s are almost enough to destroy a small country.
However, the J-20 alone is not enough. Ground attack aircraft must keep up. So the core problem is not the aircraft carrier, but the fighter jets.
Get on board the fourth generation bomb truck!
Without bomb trucks, how can you attack the opponent's clustered ground targets?
Chen Nian casually browsed through the posts on the forum, finding him funny and confused.
This generation of netizens is really difficult to lead, and the requirements are a bit too high.
But regarding the ground attack aircraft, he quite agreed.
At present, in China's air force system, the most critical early warning aircraft, bombers, and air superiority fighters have all made breakthroughs. Next, they will develop in a more comprehensive direction.
Obviously, a fighter aircraft like the J-16, which is famous for its large bomb load, is an excellent transitional choice.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian subconsciously opened the system interface.
Now, the number of source points in his hand has reached an astonishing number of 270 points, all of which have been saved to prepare for metal hydrogen batteries.
He entered the entry for "J-16", clicked on it, and found that the parsing requirement was only 0.3 points.
It's almost like giving it away for free.
What's going on? Is Shen Fei taking action in advance?
He turned on his computer and looked through the meeting minutes of the Spark Team, and sure enough, he saw a project application for a new generation of multi-purpose fighter in the minutes from a few months ago.
I was probably busy working on electromagnetic guns, 055 and 001 at that time, so I didn’t pay attention to this news.
The origin point of 0.3 shows that Shen Fei has almost no obstacles in the process of developing this fighter.
Maybe it will take some time to transform into a carrier-based model, but from another perspective, it is also an exercise for the talent team.
Therefore, Chen Nian made up his mind not to interfere, but directly sent Shen Fei the suggestion of "simultaneous development of carrier-based models" through Spark's internal email.
He said it was a suggestion, but in fact, his request was no different from an order.
Chen Nian quickly received a reply from Shen Fei. While confirming his acceptance of the task, he also reported a more detailed project plan to him.
According to their plan, this yet-to-be-named "multi-purpose fighter" will undergo a qualitative test flight around May of the following year. The entire development process only takes 18 months, which can be said to be extremely fast.

But it's true that this thing didn't have any breakthrough technology in the first place. After adding the variable cycle engine, the power became stronger, the battery life became longer, and the load capacity also increased.
Without considering stealth, perhaps the biggest challenge is how to use composite pylons to hang more ammunition on a body that is not too big.
After reading the report, Chen Nian closed the computer.
At this moment, Chen Guo also walked in.
He looked at Chen Nian and said:
"The superior will send you away. He understands you very well. It's normal to say he doesn't want to see you."
"In addition, he asked me to give you a message, saying that after the key projects are over and before the new near-future projects are launched, he wants you to take some time to rest and go to Hainan to see it."
"It's said that there are new things prepared for you over there, not just the exhibition hall from last time."
"Of course, the things in the exhibition hall have also been updated, and I would also like to take a look - how about flying to Hainan before returning to Chengdu?"
After listening to Chen Guo's words, Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied:
"It's not impossible. Let's go and rest for two days. It's really a bit overdraft during this period."
"However, I would like to know what new things they have done?"
Chen Guo couldn't help but rolled her eyes and replied:
"What's a new job? That's a surprise!"
"I don't know what it is, I'll know it when I see it."
"What's so secret about this thing?"
Chen Nian asked dissatisfiedly.
"It's not that it's confidential, it's that there are only a few people handling it. They're all handled by specialists. They haven't gone through Xinghuo and haven't reported to us, so of course I don't know."
"If you want to know, you can call now and ask."
". Then forget it, let's go and fly to Hainan."
"Now?"
"Now!"
When I came to Hainan again, in fact, the situation of this "sanatorium" or this "base" did not change much from the last time.
Thanks to the tropical climate, it is summer all year round on the island.
Chen Nian put on a casual short-sleeved outfit and walked slowly along the beach with Chen Guo, not in a hurry to solve the surprising mystery.
The sea breeze is as humid as the water vapor in the bathroom. The sun has slowly set, but the sunlight reflected on the sea is still a bit dazzling.
Chen Nian removed his eyes and turned to look at the lush woods inside the island.
After a moment, he spoke:
"In fact, for a long time, my dream has been to own a resort hotel of my own."
"It must be located on the seaside, and it must be on the seaside of a popular scenic spot."
"It must have a spacious infinity pool, forest paths shaded by green plants, a vantage point from which to watch the sunset over the sea, and an open-air bar that allows visitors to see the stars."
"As the boss, I don't need to do anything else every day."
"The only job is to chat with tourists from all over the world, understand their needs and collect their suggestions."
"Then, I will use my supreme power in this hotel to give drinks, free rooms, free entertainment and other things to some guests who I like."
