Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 299 The New Era Is Coming

The live broadcast camera turned back to the command center of the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier, and Zhong Cheng explained with a smile on his face:

"Please don't think too much about it. This is just a performance test of the heavy-duty electromagnetic railgun on the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier. There are only 500 such electromagnetic railguns on the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier, and most of them are heavy-duty laser guns."

"Today's press conference on the maiden flight of the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier is over. Thank you for watching, and I hope to bring joy to the audience!"

"By the way, products produced by Red Star must be high-quality products. Red Star will provide more high-quality products for the prosperity and progress of human society!"

"goodbye!"

……

"Shameless, bold, arrogant!"

At this time, the old president in the white palace was slumped on the sofa and couldn't stand up anymore, but he still waved his arms and cursed the arrogant Chinese young man loudly.

Since when did the gentle and elegant Chinese people become so aggressive!
The world has really changed!

The guest from the Asian island country stood up with a gloomy face, bowed to the old president, and said politely:
"Your Excellency, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. By the way, we have something to do in China. I'm going back to China early tomorrow morning, so you don't need to send someone to see me off!"

Without waiting for the old president to reply, he turned and left the hall. When he reached the gate, he glanced at the sky, shrunk his neck, and quickened his pace.

Several distinguished guests from Europe also looked at each other, then stood up together, and hurriedly left after a few polite words.

For a while, the old president was the only one left in the lively living room. He angrily cursed at these shits, and he was unreliable at critical times.

A group of his men came in silently and looked at him silently.

The old president calmed down and waved his hands weakly, "Arrange a meeting tomorrow to discuss the cancellation of the four Ford-class aircraft carriers under construction!"

Finally, he couldn't help cursing again, "Trash!"

I just don't know if he is cursing people or their own aircraft carrier.

Different from the dismay of a few people, the Chinese people and the peace-loving people in the world are all sincerely happy for the launch of the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier.

The powerful force displayed by the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier heralds the dawn of peace will shine on this war-torn planet.

A whole new era has come.

In this era, countries will abandon the use of force as a means of resolving political disputes, substantially reduce or even cancel military expenditures, and concentrate on economic development.

The power of social public opinion will be unprecedentedly strong. Driven by public opinion, human society will pay more attention to the environment and poverty issues.

The human space cause, which has been stagnant for a long time, will be put on the agenda of governments of various countries.

Transforming the human living environment, eliminating poverty in human society, and developing the space industry will become the three main themes of this new era.

.......
10 month 8 day.

The aircraft carrier Xuanyuan has been cruising for seven days. The aircraft carrier sails around the earth about 4 times a day. After 3 pm, it sailed exactly 28 times and returned to the vicinity of Changxing Island.

As the first Qinglong aircraft carrier, Xuanyuan's cruise route is set at 30 meters above 10 degrees north latitude, and the aircraft carrier sails from east to west with its back facing the rising sun.

The speed of Xuanyuan itself is about more than 4000 kilometers per hour, plus the rotation speed of the earth on the flight line is about more than 1600 kilometers per hour, and it has a speed of 5600 kilometers per hour relative to the ground.

The circumference of the earth at 30 degrees north latitude is about 35000 kilometers, which basically takes more than 6 hours to fly around.

The area passing by the 30th parallel north latitude (the area covered by 5 latitude fluctuations up and down) is the area where human civilization is most concentrated at present. The aircraft carrier Xuanyuan cruises on this route day and night, frightening Xiaoxiao!

The navigation duty officer informed that the aircraft carrier would arrive in the air above Changxing Island in 20 minutes, and it was time for Zhong Cheng and other personnel in charge of the Nantianmen project to leave the ship.

Zhong Cheng and others tracked and observed the operation of the aircraft carrier on the ship, and completed the final training guidance for the ship's officials. Everything met the technical requirements.

Zhong Cheng and Deng Yongxing jointly signed the official handover document of the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier. In fact, the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier was officially put into active service from this moment.

The two put down the pens in their hands, stood up, and solemnly gave each other a military salute, with a thousand words in it.

Zhong Cheng and more than [-] people, together with reporters and cameramen who have been interviewing with the ship, came to the apron of the Bifang military transport aircraft behind the fuselage of the aircraft carrier.

Zhong Cheng couldn't help but hugged Deng Yongxing, "Old Deng, I wish you all the best!"

"Zhong Cheng, I wish you all the best too!"

Watched by more than 50 senior commanders of the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier, everyone boarded the Bifang military transport plane.

A gap opened in the floor in front of the apron, and Bi Fang's military transport plane slid into the gap and left the Xuanyuan.

The huge Bifang military transport plane drilled out from under the belly of the Xuanyuan, like a fly flying out of a human being, dexterously hovering in the air, adjusting its direction, and flying to Changxing Island on the north coast.

On the plane, Liu Yang sighed: "I really don't want to leave the Xuanyuan, and patrol the world for Huaxia on it. It feels really cool!"

Yang Xi also said: "In this sky city, there are not so many disturbances on the ground, it is quiet and comfortable, and it is a good place for research!"

Zhao Wei said disdainfully: "It's fine for the two of you, it's okay to live for a few months, but after a long time, you have to shout and leave!"

He rolled his eyes, "But Yang Xi should be fine, he's just an idiot!"

Gui Bin added: "Yes, no matter how good the scenery is, I will get tired of looking at it too much. If I live there for a few years, I will go crazy!"

Zhong Cheng said: "Everyone has their own responsibilities. They guard the peace for China in the sky, and we must work hard for the strength of China on the ground!"

"I just hope our next generation doesn't need the Qinglong aircraft carrier to parade in the sky!"

……

Back on Changxing Island, Zhong Cheng held a summary meeting of the Nantianmen project.

The Xuanyuan has been successfully delivered, and the next step is the construction of the second and third Ganhuang and Gaoxin of the Qinglong aircraft carrier.

Due to the Xuanyuan aircraft carrier in order to meet the construction schedule, the construction progress of the No. [-] dock of the shipbuilding base was delayed.

The meeting decided to complete the construction of the No. [-] dock and the maintenance of the No. [-] dock before the Spring Festival next year, and start the construction of the Ganhuang and Gaoxin after the Spring Festival.

Over the past two years, all the implementation personnel of the Nantianmen Project have worked overtime and are exhausted physically and mentally. The reason for setting a loose schedule is to allow everyone to recover.

Because there is no need to be in a hurry, the total deadline given by Zhong Cheng is five years to complete the construction of the subsequent four Qinglong aircraft carriers.

Regarding the issue of aerospace aircraft construction that everyone is concerned about, Zhong Cheng explained that aerospace aircraft are not suitable for construction on Changxing Island.

His plan is to put the construction base of the aerospace plane on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to facilitate the take-off and landing of the aerospace plane.

Because the aerospace plane will frequently transport people and materials back and forth between the ground and space orbit, it is impossible to lift off by dragging, let alone launch by rocket.

This requires a huge flight runway to provide acceleration for aerospace aircraft, and the openness, altitude and weather conditions on the plateau are the most suitable choices.

After the Changxing Island shipbuilding base completes the construction of the Qinglong aircraft carrier, it will serve as a sub-base of the Hongxing Shipbuilding Company in the future to produce and build large-scale ground-effect aircraft for marine transportation or fishing.

The temporary main base of the Red Star Ship Manufacturing Company is built on the roof of the world - the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the future main base will be built in a geosynchronous space city suspended in space.
