Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 226 Qinglong Aircraft Carrier
Everyone followed the huge Xuanwu 600 out of the assembly workshop.

Twelve 12-ton special containers were specially placed in the small airport outside the assembly workshop, and then Xuanwu 50 carried out the test of grabbing and putting down these containers.

I saw that the Xuanwu 600 was like a goshawk, flexibly demonstrating the operation of picking and placing containers, which was completely inconsistent with its huge size.

It doesn't matter that the people from Red Star Company are used to the Suzaku fighter jets and Bi Fang fighter jets, but Lu Yao and his gang are like Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden, so surprised that they can't even close their mouths.

The performance of Xuanwu 600 has completely subverted their concept of large cargo aircraft.

Although Zhong Cheng explained the performance of these electric aircrafts in the plan early on, Lu Yao was still shocked when he saw the real flight situation for the first time.

After the test was completed, the two parties agreed that Red Star Company would first deliver 5 Xuanwu 600 and Xuanwu 1200 aircrafts and 30 special containers in May.

First, the trial operation will be carried out between Beishan and four cargo routes of Xijing, Haicheng, Jingcheng and Guangcheng.

In August, the route will be gradually increased, and it will cover all large, medium and small cities across the country after five years.

The delivery of civil aviation passenger aircraft was postponed until October, and it will strive to complete the replacement of railway and road passenger transport services within ten years.

Although Red Star Company thought that Lu Yao's plan was a bit conservative, it was not a good idea to force it. After all, Huaxia Aviation Service Company was under great pressure.

To build aviation service buildings in all the cities of the country and adjust the national transportation business, the scale and complexity of this project is unimaginable.

Even with China's current strong national strength, it is very difficult to implement.

……

5 month 6 day.

On the first day of work after Labor Day, a group of Southeast Shipyard and Southeast Research Institute rushed to Red Star Company.

The leaders are Liu Yang, general manager of Southeast Shipyard, and President Chen of Southeast Research Institute. They are here for the future construction plan of new aircraft carriers.

Because the relocation of Red Star's headquarters has not been completed, Mr. Deng, Zhong Cheng and others still received them in the old headquarters building.

Liu Yang and Dean Chen already knew that the construction of the new aircraft carrier was jointly undertaken by Red Star Heavy Industry Group and Jiangnan Shipyard.

In the past half a month, they worked overtime to complete the preliminary planning of the project, and then contacted Zhong Cheng, making an appointment for further communication face to face in Beishan.

Because there is no specific aircraft carrier design plan by Zhong Cheng, their plan can only be drawn up roughly.

Zhong Cheng has already revised the design plan of the new aircraft carrier many times. Now that the amount of Taiyi alloy is determined, the rest of the revision work will be simple.

Zhong Cheng has carried out thousands of tests in the Taixu experimental system using the well-established wind tunnel test model, and has determined the final design.

There were no unrelated personnel in this exchange. Zhong Cheng explained the design plan of the new aircraft carrier to the personnel of Southeast Shipyard and Southeast Research Institute in great detail.

The final shape of the new aircraft carrier is a flying wing shape with a wingspan of 800 meters and a length of 200 meters, with an empty weight of 15 tons and a maximum weight of 25 tons.

The entire wing is designed as a nacelle, with an average internal height of 30 meters, divided into three levels.

The internal usable area reaches more than 30 square meters, which can be used for 3000 officers and soldiers to work and live on the aircraft carrier for many years.

The number of aircraft carried remains the same, but the power and quantity of heavy-duty laser cannons and electromagnetic guns on board are increased.

The original three 100-kilowatt nuclear fusion power generating units were replaced by nine 30-kilowatt nuclear fusion generating sets.

Three work, three standby, three maintenance, three as a group of 100 meters apart longitudinally installed in the hull, rotation use.

Such a layout can directly use the jet gas generated by the nuclear fusion reactor to provide the main propulsion for the aircraft carrier.

The cruising speed is still 3 times the speed of sound, but the top speed can be increased to 5 times the speed of sound.

After Zhong Cheng's explanation was finished, Dean Chen raised the question that they had been puzzled all along, how could such a heavy aircraft carrier be taken to the sky?

And it can maintain such a high speed, isn't it afraid that the aircraft carrier will fall apart?
Based on their years of experience in designing and manufacturing large ships, they couldn't figure it out.

This is also the most important reason why they came to Red Star Company in a hurry.

Zhong Cheng didn't say anything about the 钅kong-310, but only said that Red Star Company has developed a new type of Taiyi alloy, which has high strength and the function of making the surrounding materials lose weight.

Ether alloy is used to manufacture the basic structural members of the new aircraft carrier, which not only ensures the strength but also reduces the weight of the hull.

If it wasn't for such a formal occasion, Dean Chen and others would even think that Zhong Cheng was joking.

Zhong Cheng then demonstrated the wind tunnel test of the new aircraft carrier, which completely dispelled their doubts.

Mr. Deng said with a smile: "When this new type of aircraft carrier comes out, I will have already retired. Xiao Zhong, you should give it a name first!"

Zhong Cheng had already thought of a name for this ultimate human weapon.

Qinglong is the head of the four great beasts and the four great dragons in ancient Chinese mythology.

The ancient scriptures say: The blue dragon is the oriental Jiayi wood. If it is clear, it will not be clear, if it is disturbed, it will not be muddy.

Zhong Cheng named the new type of aircraft carrier flying above the sky: "Qinglong Aircraft Carrier".

After the two sides determined the design plan of the Qinglong aircraft carrier, they talked about the construction plan.

Zhong Cheng believes that there are currently two projects that must be carried out first in the construction of the Qinglong aircraft carrier.

One is the manufacturing project of Taiyi Alloy, which is the part responsible by Red Star Company. Construction will start in June and will not affect the construction progress of the aircraft carrier.

The second is the huge dock built by the Qinglong aircraft carrier, let's call it a dock. Now the largest dock in the Southeast Shipyard is far from meeting the conditions and must be built immediately.

As long as these two basic projects are completed, the Qinglong aircraft carrier can be built in about two years.

Moreover, Zhong Cheng suggested that in order to ensure the construction progress, the Southeast Shipyard needs to build two such huge docks.

Although only five Qinglong aircraft carriers will be built in the end, such a huge dock can also be used to manufacture large aerospace aircraft and large ground-effect aircraft for marine fisheries in the future.

The ground effect aircraft is a dynamic vehicle that uses ground effect to provide support and fly.

It can fly at low altitude in the space above the water surface, and its speed is more than 10 times that of ordinary ships and more than 3 times that of hovercraft.

普通舰艇的航速一般在30节左右，气垫船为40-140节，地效飞机则高达100-320节。

When flying, it can be completely out of the water, and its speed is comparable to that of a helicopter.

On land, it can easily fly over deserts, swamps, and snow fields, and can fly to a height of tens of meters or even thousands of meters if necessary.

In Zhong Cheng's concept, there will be no ships sailing in the water in the future.

People in the Southeast Shipyard were very excited after hearing Zhong Cheng's suggestion, and they all believed that this was the future development trend of the shipbuilding industry.

But Liu Yang said that although Southeast Shipyard is also a large enterprise, it is far behind Red Star Heavy Industry.

In the eyes of Red Star Heavy Industries, a small project is a huge project for them.

It's not that it can't be built, but that there is no money to build it. If you want to apply to their head office, it may take next year to get funding.

Zhong Cheng asked how much it would cost to build two giant docks. Liu Yang's answer was 100 billion, and they had already figured it out.

Zhong Cheng looked at Mr. Deng, 100 billion was an astronomical figure for Red Star Company ten years ago, but it is really nothing now.

Before Mr. Deng could speak, Mr. Cao spoke first.

He got up and said politely to Liu Yang and Dean Chen: "I'm sorry, please rest for a while, let's discuss internally first."
