The reason why Chen Nian said he wanted to build an island was not actually an impulse, but the result of careful consideration.
He has only one reason: technical overlap!
According to his memory, the core technology of the Sky Whale large-scale dredging ship in the previous life was the ship's integrated power technology.
This giant beast uses a diesel engine to generate electricity, and then drives the motor through DC bus technology and active front-end frequency conversion technology, so that its total installed power reaches more than 25,000 kilowatts, and the rated power of the winch alone reaches 9,000 kilowatts.
Logically speaking, every technology used in this ship requires additional research and development, and it is difficult to make progress in a short period of time.
But the problem is that the current Spark Group already has a Deep Blue 16 project.
In the Deep Blue 16 project, ship integrated power technology is one of the first difficulties to be overcome!
Not to mention, the AGT110 gas turbine is already in the manufacturing process. Once it comes out, it will be able to provide more powerful power to the "Sky Whale" that has not yet appeared, and may even surpass the level of the previous generation "Sky Whale".
Therefore, in this case, the large dredger project should be said to have emerged as the times require.
Not to mention, there was no difficulty in getting this project off the ground.
In the previous life, although the main designer of the Sky Whale was the German company VOSTALMG, Shanghai Jiao Tong University's ship and ocean engineering design research also undertook important work at the same time.
Moreover, at this point in time, the Jiaotong University Research Institute should be cooperating with the Tianjin Waterway Bureau to develop the "Tiens" dredger.
On the basis of this project, it shouldn't be much of a problem for them to take a step directly to the design of the Sky Whale.
We don’t need to wait until 2013, but at most one year, we will start an island-building operation that will have a huge impact on future generations.
It doesn't matter if the aircraft carrier hasn't been launched yet.
As long as the island is built, it will be our fixed aircraft carrier!
Thinking of this, Chen Nian took a deep breath, and then said to Chen Guo in front of him:
"Professor Chen, we must build an island. This work cannot wait any longer."
“The longer we wait, the more we lose, and it won’t be easy to get it back in the future.”
"Today they dare to attack our people, and tomorrow they dare to ram our ships. If we wait a few years, they may even dare to demolish our base!"
"There are only two ways to solve this problem."
"Either ignore it and fight them again."
"Either, we should work step by step to build the island and expand the scope of actual control!"
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo nodded solemnly.
Although he is a technician and does not have the experience from the previous life like Chen Nian, he still cannot understand such an obvious situation.
Those Vietnamese monkeys didn't know if they had taken the wrong medicine, but at this point in time, when everyone was thinking about avoiding the danger temporarily, they instead tried their luck.
If that's the case, don't blame us for taking action.
Yes, if you didn't use thermal weapons, then neither will we.
Aren’t you going to reclaim the sea and build an island?
Let’s see who fills it out quickly!
Seeing Chen Nian's expression of anger mixed with pity, Chen Guo took a deep breath and then said:
"Then build an island!"
"I know that Shanghai Jiao Tong University has a large-scale dredger project. I went to communicate with them and put this project under the management of Xinghuo."
"The budget for this type of project will not be too large. It just so happens that the J-20B project has a budget surplus, so we can directly allocate it to them and let them build the thing in advance and then put it to sea immediately!"
"No, not the current project."
Chen Nian shook his head and said:
"The project they are working on is the Tiens. Both the tonnage and the cutter suction power are too small and do not meet our requirements."
"If you want to do it, do something big."
"The core technologies of this large dredger are actually just a few, including power, reamer shaft system and transmission, mud pump, and at most a three-cable positioning technology."
"The reamer shaft system and transmission system are not difficult. Let Jiaotong University figure out its own solutions."
"Not to mention the mud pump, it is a mature technology. At most, the sealing water pump and transmission ratio can be adjusted."
"So, the only real difficulty is motivation."
"But the direction of power is clear, which is the gas turbine + integrated power system, thereby saving the load of the diesel engine, which is used for the reamer and mud pump."
"AGT110 is already under construction. What we need to overcome now is the ship's integrated power supply."
"Leave it to Ma Weiming, Mr. Ma. He will be fine. If not, then there's me."
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Chen Guo couldn't help but laugh.
If he can't, there's me.
Such words can be considered arrogant anywhere, especially when the target is Ma Weiming.
However, now that he heard it from Chen Nian's mouth, he only felt relieved.
Young people must have such vitality!
Especially when he is clearly pregnant with a huge treasure, why should he be as sluggish as those old people?
You just have to be crazy, you just have to have the courage to "turn the tide and turn the river around, and turn the tide before it collapses"!
If he didn't have such heroic spirit, how could he be worthy of the responsibilities he shouldered, and how could he be worthy of the "eyes full of red" ambitions he once promised?
Therefore, Chen Guo stopped being verbose and said straightforwardly:
"Okay, then it's settled!"
"When our ship is built, we will build it an island a year. From now on, our soldiers will be able to live in high-rise buildings!"
Seeing Chen Guo's expectant expression, Chen Nian couldn't help but smile.
One island a year? Living in a building?
what is this?
It's too timid.
He coughed and said:
"Professor Chen, think bigger."
"Our goals are not that small."
"One island a year, at least 10 a year."
"Also, an airport must be built on every island."
"In the future, these islands, the real 'unsinkable aircraft carriers', will truly become our territory."
"We're going to build cities there, we're going to build factories there."
"We're going to extract the oil there and develop the resources there."
"In short, the sea there will be ours."
Chen Guo opened her mouth slightly but said nothing.
From Chen Nian's eyes, he saw an indescribable "certainty".
It was completely different from himself.
When talking about the so-called goal, if what he shows is expectation, then Chen Nian is bound to win.
He truly believed that everything he said would come true, as if he had actually seen it before
On the other side, inside a military base in Hanoi.
Ruan Huakai sat at his desk, opposite his immediate boss Ruan Yongliang.
He smoked cigarettes unscrupulously, without the respect that subordinates have for their superiors. The reason is simple. The man opposite is not only his boss, but also his father.
".Your actions this time are too radical. You know, our strategy has always been to avoid direct conflict."
"But now, you not only beat their people, but also seriously injured one of them. Do you know how much trouble this has caused us?"
Ruan Yongliang looked at his son across from him sternly and said earnestly.
But Ruan Huakai didn't take it seriously at all and just replied indifferently:
"So what if it's trouble? It's not solved in the end."
"I said it a long time ago, these people are all paper tigers, they don't dare to really do anything to us."
"Don't you dare do anything to us? It's only been a few years?"
"Do you think they really don't dare to fight? They just don't want to fight!"
Ruan Yongliang said with a stern voice.
There was really nothing he could do with his son.
When it comes to ability, Ruan Huakai's ability is actually extremely strong. He has only been in the army for a few years and has already established his own direct lineage and controlled some of the forces in the army.
Moreover, he is not an old-school leader who only knows how to work hard. On the contrary, he has received advanced Western education and has a very solid theoretical foundation.
Whether it is in military strategy or logistics technology, he can be called an expert.
In the past, when attending cocktail parties, whenever someone mentioned his son, they were full of praise.
This is definitely not because of me, because several times, he heard someone refer to himself as "Ruan Huakai's father".
He didn't find it offensive in any way, but rather proud.
But what made him helpless was that his son was a complete radical, especially when dealing with maritime issues. The strategies he proposed were a headache for not only himself, but also other younger generation officers.
Once, he even proposed to conduct another local war at sea to completely expand the actual control line.
This proposal met with opposition from everyone as soon as it was put forward, but Ruan Huakai did not flinch at all and fought with the heroes in front of several generals.
Ruan Yongliang even suspected that if he hadn't stopped him in time, he might have been able to convince a few people.
Thinking of this, he sighed again, lowered his voice and said:
"I'm not kidding you, I know your ambitions, but the problem is, some things are not something that can be rushed."
"Just like this time, you thought we got rid of them and took advantage, but in fact, in order to deal with the consequences you caused, we also paid the price in other ways."
"In the future, you must never be impulsive again."
"Give us old guys some more time. In 10 years, it will be your time to show off your skills."
Hearing his father's earnest words, Ruan Huakai's tone softened.
".Okay, I did not think carefully this time."
"Actually, I really have no intention of confronting them. I just want to pull out their flag and teach them a lesson."
"But I didn't expect them to come so quickly. To be honest, our counterattack was also forced."
"If we don't take action, our own brothers will be injured."
Ruan Yongliang nodded and said approvingly:
"It's good that you have this idea. In the army, you have to protect your comrades at all costs."
"But again, use your brain more in the future. There is not only one way to solve the problem."
Ruan Huakai nodded solemnly and then said:
"That's what I'm telling you, I have a new strategy."
"What strategy?"
Ruan Yonghao asked curiously.
According to his experience, every time his son proposes a "strategy", although most of it is quite radical, it often does have extremely practical value. Even if it cannot be used directly, it can still be flexibly modified.
Overall, he is a qualified decision-maker.
Therefore, he wanted to hear what his son would say this time.
"Don't you think the efficiency of our reclamation and island building is too low?"
Ruan Yongliang was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously:
"Is it low?"
"Ridiculously low."
"According to my estimate, the area we build every year is less than 5,000 square meters. You probably think this number is huge, right? But in fact, a standard football field is 7,140 square meters."
"That is to say, we can't even build a football field in one year, using thousands of people and hundreds of ships of various types."
"More importantly, these 5,000 square meters are not really concentrated in one place. They are scattered over an extremely vast ocean."
"The area that can really be utilized will actually not exceed 2,000 square meters."
"It's so slow. So slow that I don't know what the point of its existence is."
"Perhaps when we come back to see it the next year, the islands built the previous year have been eroded by the waves."
Ruan Yongliang's eyes widened in surprise. He never thought that the situation on the sea was so bad.
"What's the reason? Corruption?"
"no."
Ruan Huakai shook his head and continued to answer:
"It's just that our equipment is too backward."
"Most of those vessels are ordinary fishing boats, with only a few small sand dredgers and transport ships."
"The role these ships can play at sea is extremely limited, and it is normal for them to be inefficient."
"Then what's your suggestion?"
Ruan Yongliang had already guessed what his son was going to say, but he still planned to let him say it himself.
"It's very simple, update the equipment."
"We need new sand dredgers, and they are large cutter suction sand dredgers that can be used at sea."
Ruan Huakai replied immediately.
"Where to import? How much does it cost?"
This was Ruan Yongliang's first reaction. In his opinion, all equipment does not have the option of "making".
"No, we can't buy it this time."
"We have to make it ourselves, because there is no suitable exporter for this kind of equipment in the world, and even if we find it, it is very expensive."
"For economic reasons, we have to master the technology ourselves."
Hearing this, Ruan Yongliang frowned.
Master the technology yourself?
It sounds simple, but looking at the country, which research institute has such technology?
If the project is forcibly launched for research and development, the final result will probably be to fatten up a large number of civil servants in the field of scientific research, and then it will be completely unfinished.
Seemingly sensing Ruan Yongliang's worries, Ruan Huakai smiled slightly and said:
"Don't worry, father."
"I've made plans."
"This time, although we want to make it ourselves, we don't need independent research and development."
"There is a company in Germany called VOSTALMG. We can introduce them and let them be responsible for the overall design."
"And we just need to sit back and enjoy our achievements."
