Chapter 735: Aircraft Carrier (I)

However, for an aircraft carrier, these things are all attached combat power. Its true most important combat power depends on carrier-based fighters. Whether it is a vertical launch unit, an electromagnetic rail gun, or a short-range laser interception system, these are just for defense and there are very few opportunities to use. When these weapons on the aircraft carrier are used, the remaining combat power of the entire aircraft carrier battle group may not be much.

Because of Japan's affairs, China's offshore can be said to be relatively nervous. On the third day after the nuclear fuel was transported, China's side had a total of more than a dozen civil aviation flights and sent a total of 3,500 people to Madagascar. Then China announced that the Chinese South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet, a total of more than 40 warships, will travel to Madagascar for its first long voyage.

Such navigation, especially large-scale navigation of fleets, has never been for the Chinese Navy, because China does not have military bases overseas, and ships such as destroyers have a maximum range of about 4,000-5,000 nautical miles. If you travel in the ocean, you must find a port for replenishing fuel. Of course, it is not impossible to find it. After all, some commercial ports are responsible for replenishing fuel, and they are nothing more than warships now.

However, if you are performing a mission, it is not the same for such direct ultra-long-range navigation to replenish fuel in civil ports. However, no matter what, you can't let the aircraft carrier drive back on its own, right? At worst, you can just carry a few large supply ships. The actions of the Chinese Navy have attracted the attention of all countries. Although China's naval fleet has often left the first and second island chains in the past two years and went out to exercise in the ocean outside, it is the first time such a long voyage, especially the long voyage of large-scale fleets.

The Chinese President then officially reached a visit with Madagascar and will make a one-week visit to Madagascar. This time has been very long. You should know that generally speaking, the heads of state of superpowers like China and the United States can basically visit four or five countries in a week. Their itinerary is very full, and it is almost impossible to stay in a country like this for a week.

Could it be that something happened in Madagascar? Otherwise, what would the Chinese fleet and the Chinese President do when they ran to Madagascar? However, outside speculation Yang Yiwei ignored it. Yang Yiwei went to his military base to welcome the first batch of naval officers from the Chinese Navy who had been trained on the Liaoning. This group of people arrived in one day, but the follow-up people had not arrived yet. The first batch was a total of 1,000 officers and soldiers. They were three Boeing 747s.

When the leading soldiers came down, Yang Yiwei was speechless. He would not have been the senior generals of the navy. Lin Shengli, the naval commander, must have come, and Lin Hu followed him. In addition, there were more than a dozen generals of all sizes, and there were not many school-level officers, but the rest were basically lieutenants.

"General Lin, this is..." Yang Yiwei looked at the generals around Lin Shengli and laughed. "Of course we are here to meet China's first domestically produced aircraft carrier. Come and introduce you to Lei Ming! Major General, the first general born in the 1980s in the Chinese Navy." Lin Shengli directly pulled a young major general around him and introduced to Yang Yiwei.

Post-80s? Yang Yiwei was a little surprised. He became a general after the 80s. The promotion speed is really vague. Just as Lei Ming was born in 80s, he is only 36 years old this year. The 36-year-old major general must have outstanding features. This cannot be promoted with a background or something.

"Hello General Lei." Yang Yiwei greeted Lei Ming. Lei Ming directly saluted Yang Yiwei, then reached out to shake Yang Yiwei and said with a smile: "My military salute represents the respect of all the Chinese Navy to Mr. Yang. Although we have been looking forward to China's first self-built aircraft carrier, we did not expect that Mr. Yang would let us realize this wish so soon."

"You're welcome, I once wanted to join the army, but I didn't have that opportunity. I just tried to achieve everything I thought back then. General Lei is young and promising. I guess he has become a general at this age. General Lei is unique." Yang Yiwei said with a smile.

"Haha, I was born in 1980. Speaking of which, Mr. Yang and I are of the same generation." Lei Ming smiled and did not comment. Lin Shengli next to him said to Yang Yiwei with a smile: "You are all smart people. Please communicate more in the future. Xiao Lei is a rare genius in naval combat. If nothing unexpected happens, there is no problem with accepting your aircraft carrier, then Xiao Lei may be the commander of China's first aircraft carrier battle group."

Yang Yiwei immediately understood why Lin Shengli had to introduce himself to Lei Ming. The aircraft carrier battle group. The current Liaoning is more used to train aircraft carrier officers. Although it also forms a combat group, it is not fully equipped. A complete aircraft carrier battle group is usually composed of two to three aircraft carriers. The captain of the Liaoning is just a lieutenant colonel, but he is only the captain of the Liaoning, and the commander of the entire fleet is at least a general.

And undoubtedly Lei Ming will be the commander of China's first formally organized aircraft carrier battle group. In other words, the first aircraft carrier he built will use Lei Ming. Yang Yiwei smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Lei Ming and said, "Major General Lei, I believe that you will definitely be surprised by your car."

"I hope so. Speaking of which, you guys, your progress is fast enough. Is it because of this if you didn't show us the construction process of the aircraft carrier?" Lin Shengli directly stretched out his fist and hammered Yang Yiwei's shoulder.

"Uh, there's some reason for this." Yang Yiwei touched his nose awkwardly.

"By the way, let's take us to see China's first aircraft carrier now." Lin Shengli looked at Yang Yiwei quickly and asked.

"No." Yang Yiwei shook his head directly and said, "The installation of nuclear fuel has not been completed yet. It will take one day to do it. You can only visit it when the nuclear radiation level of the fuel compartment drops at this time tomorrow. Visits are prohibited during construction. You can only wait for tomorrow."

"Okay... Then give me a clear idea. Which of the performance of this guy you made is better than the two of the latest Ford-class aircraft carriers launched in the United States?" Lin Shengli quickly came over and asked.

Others also immediately looked at each other, obviously very interested in this, "Can all performances meet the standards on the drawings?" The design drawing of the aircraft carrier was originally carried out through domestic inspections before it started to be built, so there are naturally detailed data on it. Lin Shengli naturally saw it, so he asked this question.

"That... Actually, I didn't want to tell you, but since you asked, I'll let you have a mental preparation, that drawing...you can throw it away." Yang Yiwei scratched his head and said. He originally planned to follow that drawing. Later, he thought about it and played with it. If he wanted to play, he would play with it. Finally, the design was created, so that drawing could not be regarded as the current standard at all.

"What does it mean?" Lin Shengli and others were stunned for a moment, and then Lin Shengli and others looked at each other. "Uh, I said, the finished product is too different from the drawing, even the appearance is different, and the combat power is naturally different, so we can't calculate it according to that drawing. That's it. When we first gave you the drawing, we were originally going to design it according to that one, but later after one of our technology breakthroughs, we directly used the drawing that was designed before, but there was no way to build it, so now the new aircraft carrier... you have never seen it before." Yang Yiwei shrank his neck and said.

"You... I said, "You are not kidding, are you kidding?" This cannot be kidding. If you don't produce according to the drawings or the performance does not meet the standards, we will not want it." Lin Shengli's face looked a little ugly. Is this kidding?

"Do you think I'm joking with you? If you don't want it, I can build another one for you according to the previous drawings. I won't give it to you. Do you think I'm willing? How much is the contract I signed for you? US$8.5 billion per ship, but do you know how much this aircraft carrier costs?" Yang Yiwei rolled his eyes.

"How much?" Lin Shengli asked quickly, everyone listened. The cost of the aircraft carrier was already very terrifying. The price of 8.5 billion US dollars was not for the advance production of Xingdian Group, it would be unknown whether the domestic agreement would be agreed or not. In the end, Xingdian Group said that the advance production was advanced, and finally passed the domestic performance test, and then the full amount would be paid. "12 billion US dollars." Yang Yiwei vomited a number that made everyone vomit blood.

"We won't pay the extra price." Lin Shengli added without thinking, and Yang Yiwei almost fell to the ground. Damn, when he heard that he had not followed the drawings, it was possible that the performance was not up to standard. You were not like this, but this change of face was so fast.

Rolling his eyes, Yang Yiwei said helplessly: "Don't worry, although the money has been spent, I will not charge you more money. However, if you want a second ship, this one cannot be cheaper. I donated the extra money from the first ship to the Navy at that time. Don't worry, this aircraft carrier has a combat effectiveness that is comparable to two Ford-class aircraft carriers."
