All of a sudden.
Listening to this sentence, the entire scene seemed to be dead silent.
It was as if he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Especially looking at Jiang Chen's understatement made everyone's hearts tremble.
"Mr. Jiang, you were right about what you said just now, right??"
"This is not a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, not a cargo ship!"
"One hundred thousand tons is already large enough. Do you want to directly build an aircraft carrier of more than 150,000 tons?"
The navy captains suddenly lost their composure and quickly asked.
They all began to wonder if their ears had heard wrongly.
This is not a cargo ship. It can easily displace two to three hundred thousand tons. This is an aircraft carrier!
You know, the world's largest aircraft carrier, the Ford-class aircraft carrier, has a displacement of just over 110,000 tons.
This is almost two levels above!
Even Dean Lin, who was standing aside, looked dumbfounded now!
My dear, how can this be an aircraft carrier that surpasses the Ford class? Is this completely about building a giant-class aircraft carrier?
Listen to these questions.
"I said it right and you heard it right."
"The aircraft carrier I want to build next is indeed a 150,000-ton class"
"And yes, it is expected that the minimum displacement will reach 150,000 tons."
Jiang Chen said with a smile and a calm expression.
With the output of a small nuclear power plant, only two engines need to be equipped.
It drives a ship with a displacement of 150,000 tons without any pressure at all.
He just finished speaking.
All of a sudden.
"How big should an aircraft carrier with such a terrifying displacement be?"
"I think it's four hundred meters long, right? Our aircraft carrier No. 003 is already 320 meters long."
“I also think it’s almost the same or the width and height will become bigger!”
"It has a displacement of 150,000 tons. What scale does this have?"
When Captain Du and others thought of this, they suddenly took a breath of cold air!
The 150,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is a steel behemoth that they can hardly imagine.
After all, even the conventionally powered aircraft carrier No. 003 under development has a tonnage of only more than 80,000 tons.
The domestic aircraft carriers No. 001 and 002 are only 60,000 tons.
"Based on this displacement."
"It should be a lot longer than a Ford-class aircraft carrier." Jiang Chen nodded after thinking for a moment.
After all, the length of the Ford class is close to 340 meters, and this aircraft carrier is likely to reach 350-360 meters!
As for longer ones, it doesn't make much sense.
It is not that making the aircraft carrier wider and taller makes it more valuable to increase the carrier-based aircraft capacity.
At this time.
"Based on our existing special steel, Chief Engineer Jiang."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet such huge strength requirements, both in terms of length and tonnage."
“No one can satisfy such a behemoth”
An academician from the Academy of Materials Engineering next to him frowned and said.
The special steel used in the previous construction of the No. 003 aircraft carrier was simply not enough to support a displacement of 150,000 tons.
Under such a heavy weight, structural changes can easily occur.
Then he continued to speak:
"Unless we use new ultra-high-strength alloys... we won't be able to meet the performance requirements."
“It’s just based on the current production volume.”
The academician did not continue speaking, his tone was extremely lonely!
Listen to this.
"makes sense."
"General special steel products simply cannot meet the demand."
Everyone nodded sadly and agreed with his statement.
This is the biggest problem we have encountered so far!
As for using new alloy materials to build aircraft carriers? It’s impossible even to think about!
After all, although they are already being produced at full power, the two new alloy materials are barely enough for the construction of aero engines.
Even in aerospace, this kind of ultra-high strength and ultra-high temperature resistant alloy is needed.
It can be said that every gram of material is precious!
Use this thing to build an aircraft carrier? Even the deck of an aircraft carrier weighs tens of thousands of tons. How is this possible?
Not to mention how expensive it is, it is simply impossible to build.
This is enough to build tens of thousands of aero engines, and the total annual output is probably not even a few thousand tons.
"It's not a big problem."
"I can develop a special steel that is more cost-effective and more malleable!"
"And the output is still very high. It shouldn't be a problem to build a 150,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!"
Jiang Chen touched his chin and said without hesitation.
In the technical path of Gundam: The First Generation Machine, there is a low-level material that can meet the requirements.
Although it is not as good as several new alloys he has developed before, it is still much better than conventional special steel.
What's more important is that its manufacturing difficulty is very low, and it can be built by all major domestic steel plants.
For a while.
"Great, great!"
"So we will soon have a 150,000-ton aircraft carrier."
"Lao Du, please don't compete with our troops for this nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!"
The captains present seemed to be unable to suppress their emotions.
Why can Yingjiang dominate the world? More than 50% of the reasons are because of the eleven nuclear-powered aircraft carriers!
now.
Not only do they want to have a real nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but they also want to directly kill the Ford-class aircraft carrier!
How could this not excite this group of people who have been waiting for it for decades?
Time passed slowly, two days later, it was afternoon.
A meeting is being held within the Academy of Sciences.
now.
There were hundreds of people sitting in the conference room, and all the academicians of the Academy of Sciences in Yanjing were already present.
The entire scene was extremely quiet, and even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.
Lin Congli stared at everyone and slowly announced:
"This time, there are two important news to be announced!"
"First...it's the first theme!"
"About Jiang Chen's job promotion!"
He looked towards Jiang Chen and said solemnly.
For a while.
Hundreds of academicians frowned, all speculating.
Could it be that Chief Engineer Jiang is about to be promoted? ? Even transferred from the Academy of Sciences!
Thinking of this, all of them were shocked and a little uneasy.
It seems that they have discovered something unusual about them.
"Jiang Chen will continue to serve as the general director of the Frontier Science and Technology Research Institute!" Lin Congli explained immediately.
Hear this.
Lu Yuanhang, Zhao Xiu and others wiped the sweat from their brows and finally felt relieved.
Still serving as the head of the institute, it’s not just a transfer from the Academy of Sciences!
If Chief Engineer Jiang was missing, their project would be a waste of research and development!
Before they could react.
"In addition, he will also hold an additional position..."
"A rather special position!"
Dean Lin said slowly.
The whole audience gasped!
PS: Please recommend and vote for me monthly! ! ! It’s the end of the month, if you have any, you can give me some!
