Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 295 Power Switching
Most of the functions Zhong Cheng designed for the Qinglong aircraft carrier can run automatically. Zhao Wei designed an extremely complex control system for this purpose, which is the Cangjie Type [-] CNC system.

In fact, the Qinglong aircraft carrier only needs more than 200 people to operate freely. If operators of various shipborne weapons and radar communication systems are added, the maximum number is 1000.

However, after repeated discussions with major designers including Zhong Cheng and Zhao Wei, manual operations were still adopted in all key control links.

Because the more complex control system is convenient to operate, but once a problem occurs, it will be very troublesome to deal with.

The Qinglong aircraft carrier is flying in the sky, no more than the equipment on the ground. If there is a problem, just stop and check it. The Qinglong aircraft carrier dare not stop.

The manual operation mode is adopted. Since the shipboard personnel are familiar with the technical principles of the aircraft carrier, if there is any problem, it can be dealt with quickly.

As a last resort, it can also switch to the control system to operate. Such double insurance can reduce the probability of a major accident on the aircraft carrier to one in [-] million.

Under the organization and coordination of Deng Yongxing and other commanding personnel, thousands of technicians of the Nantianmen Project started two months of intensive training for thousands of officers and soldiers on the aircraft carrier.

Zhong Cheng is responsible for the training of aircraft carrier commanders, mainly using the Taixu experimental system for simulated flight or combat training.

After all, there is only such a Qinglong aircraft carrier, and it is still parked in the dock, so there is no way to conduct real training.

Deng Yongxing is the captain and the commander-in-chief of the aircraft carrier.

Below him are the commander of the aircraft carrier combat force, the commander of the carrier air force, the commander of the mech force, and the carrier logistics commander.

The aircraft carrier combat force refers to the combat personnel who operate a large number of weapon systems equipped on the aircraft carrier.

The general headquarters is located in the frontmost command center hall in the middle of the three cylindrical hulls, and the other two frontmost command centers are the internal command center of the aircraft carrier and the external command center of the aircraft carrier.

The halls of the three command centers are directly connected by passages, and there are functional substitutions for each other to prevent the loss of its corresponding command function after a certain one is destroyed.

The command center hall is 30 meters wide and 50 meters long, with more than a hundred consoles and a huge sand table deduction platform.

On the walls on both sides of the hall are eighteen huge display screens, showing the operation of the main functional units of the aircraft carrier.

In front of the hall is a huge floor-to-ceiling window made of reinforced soil transparent material, and you can see the scene directly in front of the aircraft carrier.

This is the brain center of Qinglong aircraft carrier.

9 month 18 day.

Thousands of officers and soldiers on the aircraft carrier completed the training tasks ahead of schedule and passed strict assessments.

The technicians of the Nantianmen project also completed the final commissioning of the aircraft carrier.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhong Cheng, Deng Yongxing, the commander of the aircraft carrier, Liu Yang, Zhao Wei, Lin Wei, Yang Xi and other main personnel in charge of the Nantianmen project gathered in the general command center hall of the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier.

Fan Chengjun reported: "The system has been prepared and can be officially launched!"

Zhong Cheng nodded to Deng Yongxing, "General Deng, please give the order!"

A rare tinge of red appeared on Deng Yongxing's resolute face like a playing card, revealing his current inner excitement.

He was about to speak when Ding Xuguo, chief of staff of the aircraft carrier, suddenly said: "Captain, wait a moment!"

Everyone looked at Ding Xuguo with doubts. He was a middle-aged senior military officer of medium build and amiable. He treated people kindly and was very popular.

I haven't seen him in the limelight usually, what happened to him today?
Ding Xuguo chuckled, "Mr. Zhong, why don't your people leave first?"

Everyone was stunned, Zhao Wei took the lead and said dissatisfiedly: "Old Ding, what are you singing about? Is there anything in this aircraft carrier that needs to be kept secret from us?"

Ding Xuguo quickly waved his hands and explained: "I'm still not at ease with you, it's just..."

He faltered at this point.

Zhong Guo said decisively: "General Ding, you are worried about our safety, don't worry, we have confidence in the equipment produced by our Red Star Company!"

Because the project to be carried out today is very critical. The medium-sized Suihuang nuclear fusion generator set installed in the aircraft carrier is connected to the aircraft carrier's power grid to generate electricity.

During the construction of the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier, an external power supply was always used.

Before the official launch of the Nantianmen project, Zhong Chengcheng had installed a 100 million-kilowatt Suihuang nuclear fusion generator set on Changxing Island to provide power guarantee.

The final installation and commissioning of the nine 20-kilowatt medium-sized Suihuang nuclear fusion generators on the aircraft carrier was completed last month, but due to the tight schedule of the outfitting project, they have not been switched.

After the switchover today, the aircraft carrier will disconnect the external power supply and close the hull, and all internal systems will be fully operational.

The officers and soldiers on board have always been in awe of the nuclear fusion generator set, and some people even said that they will sleep with nuclear bombs on their pillows in the future.

It is normal for Ding Xuguo to have this concern.

However, he only let Zhong Cheng and other Red Star Company personnel leave. As a soldier, he did not consider their own safety, which still moved Zhong Cheng very much.

However, his worries are unnecessary. Red Star Company has produced and installed nearly [-] Suihuang nuclear fusion power generating units, and so far no one has exploded.

Although these nine medium-sized Suihuang nuclear fusion power generating units are the first batch, Cheng Zhidong manufactured them in accordance with much higher safety technical requirements than ordinary Suihuang nuclear fusion generating units.

Zhong Cheng is [-]% assured of this.

However, this supposed hero is now behind bars.

Seeing Zhong Cheng's resolute attitude, out of trust in him, Deng Yongxing stopped Ding Xuguo from continuing to dissuade him.

He loudly said to the operating officers and soldiers in the command center: "Get ready to ignite!"

His order was quickly conveyed to the various sub-control centers and power operation posts of the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier.

Five minutes later, all preparation confirmation information was sent back to the command center one after another.

Deng Yongxing took a deep breath and solemnly ordered: "Light it up!"

Everyone in the command center became tense, even Zhong Cheng was infected by the tension and held his breath.

A moment later, the nuclear fusion generator set operation monitoring screen on the right side of the command center hall showed that three generator sets had started to run and generate electricity.

Deng Yongxing ordered again, "Switch the power grid!"

The brightness of the lights in the command center hall flickered a few times, and then returned to normal. The power provided by the nuclear fusion generator set has replaced the power supply from the external grid.

"The life support system starts sequentially!"

The air supply system, air pressure protection system, and temperature protection system in the aircraft carrier began to operate.

Ten minutes later, notifications of "normal oxygen content", "normal air pressure" and "normal temperature" came from each control center.

Deng Yongxing then ordered the activation of the various external sealing devices of the aircraft carrier, cutting off the air convection with the outside.

Finally, he ordered: "Power to the main frame of the aircraft carrier!"

The moment after the order was issued, everyone felt the hull vibrate.

Everyone in the hall knew that this was the anti-gravity effect after the Taiyi Alloy 201, which constituted the main frame of the aircraft carrier, was electrified.

The weight of the aircraft carrier on hundreds of ground support platforms has been greatly reduced, resulting in an upward rebound.

"Clap clap clap!"

Zhong Cheng took the lead in applauding, and there was warm applause and cheers in the command hall.

Xuanyuan aircraft carrier power switch and initial operation was successful!
