In an instant.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone's eyes seemed to be dull!
It was as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing!
This kind of steel behemoth and destroyer with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons are not worth mentioning.
So what does Jiang Chen plan to build next? ?
Could it be some kind of space carrier? Or a Star Destroyer?
"Chief Engineer Jiang, this is a 50,000-ton destroyer."
"Can it only be regarded as trivial??"
Captain Du stared at him dumbfounded and said in shock.
In terms of the displacement of this destroyer, it is comparable to China's No. 001 aircraft carrier!
A behemoth ship with a length of more than 300 meters was actually described by Chief Engineer Jiang as "a mere 50,000 tons?"
Staring at the several navy captains in front of him.
"The displacement of fifty thousand tons is naturally not too big!" Jiang Chen shook his head with an unmoved expression.
Compared with the tonnage of large ships to be developed in the future, these 50,000 tons can be said to be just a starting point.
Before they could react.
Jiang Chen then spoke:
"In the next step, two large destroyers will be built simultaneously."
"It will be launched within half a year and various functional tests will be carried out."
"It is expected to be delivered to the naval force by the end of next year!"
This is the first batch of large destroyers to be built in his plan.
It is not planned to convert all the 15 055 destroyers currently under construction into large destroyers for use.
Hear this.
"Constructing two large destroyers simultaneously??"
"Delivery next year. This is in line with the regular plan, but the quantity is a bit small!"
Several captains nodded and spoke in agreement.
If we want to ensure the normal operation of the shipyard, the construction speed of launching one ship in half a year is not too slow.
It can even be said to be very fast. After all, it would take more than a year to build and launch any 055.
However, the only thing I am not satisfied with is that only two ships are built at the same time, and one cannot be allocated to the entire fleet.
There was a lot of discussion.
After a while.
"The construction and development tasks of these two large destroyers."
"It will not be built at the Penang Shipyard, but will be handed over to the Southern Shipyard!"
"At the same time, the Penang Shipyard will undertake one of the most important tasks."
Jiang Chen announced the news in a calm tone.
The Southern Shipyard is not weak and can fully undertake the task of building large destroyers.
Since Penang is the closest to Yanjing, it is most appropriate to place this important research and development task here.
However.
"Why did Mr. Jiang only let Jiangnan Shipyard carry out the construction work?"
"The construction level of the Penang Shipyard is higher, and at least five large destroyers can be built at the same time."
"Assume an important task?? What is it??"
"Is it necessary to develop and build a new type of ship? Is it an aircraft carrier?"
Captain Du and the others immediately became excited when they said this, and their eyes were firmly fixed on Jiang Chen.
For this important research and development task, they speculated that it was most likely to develop a new type of ship.
And the construction task that is more important than the large destroyer is undoubtedly the aircraft carrier!
This real maritime overlord, the airport on the sea!
Facing the curious eyes of several people:
"That's right."
“This important task of Penang Shipyard is to build aircraft carriers!”
"And it's a brand new aircraft carrier, a real nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!"
Jiang Chen nodded and spoke in an extremely solemn tone.
This large destroyer is just an appetizer. His real research and development goal has always been an aircraft carrier!
And it is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, not the three conventionally-powered aircraft carriers like China's previous ones!
He just finished speaking.
For a while.
The captains standing next to him seemed to be dead silent for a moment!
My breathing began to become a little rapid, and I felt that my heart began to beat violently!
“Building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier??”
"General Manager Jiang, are you kidding me?"
"Not conventional power? Are we going to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier too?"
"Okay, this is great! Finally we also have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!"
The entire senior leadership of the navy was extremely excited because of Jiang Chen's words.
Nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, this is the dream that the whole of China has been pursuing for many years!
For decades, these words have been haunting everyone's heads like a nightmare.
Now, can they also have a real nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?
"This aircraft carrier we are going to build"
"Is it a 50,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?"
Captain Du couldn't help but ask, wanting to know the tonnage of this aircraft carrier.
After all, for an aircraft carrier, carrier-based aircraft are everything to it!
The higher the displacement, the greater the area and the number of carrier-based aircraft it can accommodate!
Correspondingly, the greater the tonnage, the higher the difficulty of construction!
"The displacement of 50,000 to 60,000 tons may be a bit small!"
"I think the level of 70,000 to 80,000 tons should be about the same, right?"
"I also feel that this is more appropriate. It has the same displacement as the No. 003 aircraft carrier!"
"It doesn't matter if it's 50,000 tons. If you have enough experience, you can build a larger aircraft carrier."
Several captains nearby spoke up and put forward their own opinions!
After all, China's largest conventionally powered aircraft carrier, No. 003, has a displacement of only over 80,000 tons.
As this is the first time to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, it is enough to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of 70,000 to 80,000 tons with caution.
I heard several people say this.
"Even the destroyer is over 50,000 tons."
"What's the point of building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of 70,000 to 80,000 tons, or even 50,000 tons?!"
"This is a bit too petty."
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed, he shook his head firmly and said.
He has no intention of developing a small nuclear-powered aircraft carrier first.
Instead, we are preparing to develop a truly large-scale nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in one step.
All of a sudden.
"hiss"
"An aircraft carrier of 70,000 to 80,000 tons is still small??"
"Chief Engineer Jiang, aren't you planning to develop a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?"
“Is this too difficult??”
When everyone heard these words, they suddenly took a breath of cold air, so terrifying!
A 100,000-ton aircraft carrier is close to the tonnage of the Nimitz nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
Is this such a huge challenge? They worried that things were being done too hastily.
After all, this is a huge thing that can easily reach hundreds of meters, so it can't be that simple.
only.
Jiang Chen still denied this statement.
“Not just a displacement of 100,000 tons”
"It's not just about surpassing the Nimitz class, it's even going to far surpass the Ford class aircraft carrier!"
"And its displacement may even exceed 150,000 tons!"
"The capacity, performance, etc. of carrier-based aircraft will be improved in all aspects!"
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and solemnly announced to everyone in front of him.
This is Jiang Chen's real research and development goal!
If you want to build one, then you must build the best and largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!
Not only must it surpass the Nimitz, but it must even surpass the Ford-class aircraft carrier and become an ocean giant with a displacement of more than 150,000 tons!
For a while.
The whole place was sluggish, and no sound could come out of their throats.
