Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 791 Visiting Aircraft Carrier Construction

The aircraft carrier barbecue party that lasted for nearly two hours came to an end. After the break, No.1, accompanied by Li Lan, briefly visited the various facilities and barracks of the military port, and also visited the economic circle of the lower navy port.

Subsequently, the naval generals of the two sides were divided into another wave, and the two sides held talks on naval cooperation in the coming years.

And Li Lan took No.1 and went straight to the shipyard base not far from the naval base. The mystery of this shipyard is no less than the veil covering Somalia.

From beginning to end, the most curious thing about the outside world is the development of the navy in Somalia. After all, Somalia, which has developed from scratch, can catch up with the United States, which has been developing for a century. There are so many curious things in it.

Today, this mysterious veil is finally about to be lifted, and the reporter's arrival for the first time.

Shipyard No. 22 is the longest shipyard in this shipyard. It is still a fully enclosed factory building. Under the leadership of the person in charge of Shipyard No. 22, Li Lan and No. 1 walked into this Shipyard.

Sitting on the elevator, I went directly to the uppermost aisle of the shipyard factory. Zeng Zhihua also walked this aisle once to see the aircraft carrier that China ordered for the first time. This time it was the road that No. 1 took. The first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier ordered by China from Somalia.

Today's No. 22 Shipyard is much more lively than before. The same huge robotic arm can easily lift hundreds of tons of aircraft carrier hull modules for welding and assembly.

In the 800-meter-long shipyard, a large part of the space is an independent enclosed factory building dedicated to the construction of modules. A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is composed of hundreds of modules.Each module is independently produced in turn, and then moved to the berth for assembly.

Shipyard No. 22 today.In addition to some red police engineers, there are also many ship technical talents who came to China to be students here.This is for talents who can accumulate technical proficiency in the construction of domestic aircraft carriers in China.

And this time, the avionics, radars, crew warehouses and other internal layouts on the aircraft carrier are different from those used by Somalia themselves, and they will be outfitted directly at this shipyard.

The electronic instruments and the radar system used on the aircraft carrier are also shipped to the shipyard and installed on the produced modules in turn. As long as all the modules of the aircraft carrier are assembled and the wiring of various equipment is connected together, then this The aircraft carrier can also be declared complete, as long as the sea trial is completed.You can join the navy.

The most critical part of the entire aircraft carrier is the placement of nuclear reactors and electromagnetic catapults, as well as the layout changes brought about by the integrated all-electric propulsion system. These are all Chinese engineers have not contacted, so they came here to fight. student.

Even the arrival of No.1 was not notified by Li Lan and Zhonghua in advance. This also led to the fact that after Li Lan and No.1 came in, the workers below were not aware of it, and they were still working hard.

Standing on the walkway at the top of the shipyard.The assembly situation of the entire aircraft carrier can be seen in full view. This one is not for people to visit when it comes to it, but for the commander when installing the upper module.

in the afternoon.Just about to assemble the bow of the ship, such an aircraft carrier hull can already see the majestic body of the future to some extent.Even if the hull that has not been painted looks a bit rusty, the elegance of the steel remains unchanged.

After number one walked in.It is a look of gratification and satisfaction, this 100,000-ton aircraft carrier.It's Chinese.

The reporters of the two countries who followed behind were shocked and kept pressing the shutter on their hands.

"How do you feel?" Li Lan asked as the expression on No.1's face changed from shock to pride.

"The charm of steel, the creation of wisdom." One said with emotion.

"When I first visited the construction of an aircraft carrier, it was the same idea. No one saw this scene and was able to remain calm. The behemoth more than 300 meters long is the most powerful embodiment of human creativity in the history of mankind." Li Lan Nodded, he was able to appreciate the feelings of No.1.

"Unfortunately, this is the wisdom and charm brought by war." Number One sighed again.

Li Lan never thinks that a leader will have that kind of compassionate sentiment, so he doesn't care about the emotion of No. 1. War inspires human wisdom and creativity, and wisdom and creativity are more to win the war.

"This is the commonality of mankind. From another perspective, mankind still has no way to rely on the laws of nature." Li Lan said.

"Perhaps so!" Number One did not deny Li Lan's words, but did not completely agree.

"Didi..." At this moment, there was a sudden sound of didi inside the shipyard, and all the staff below began to pack up their things, leave the open space, and walked towards both sides of the shipyard.

In front of the aircraft carrier assembly berth, on the module production built-in workshop, the top layer of the originally enclosed built-in workshop was slowly opened, and a huge bow appeared in front of Li Lan and others.

A dozen engineers were standing around the bow module. At this time, the bottom of the plant was slowly angry, and even in the position of Li Lan and others, the sound of the elevator was faintly heard.

After 30 seconds of ascent, the nearly 20-meter-high bow slowly rose to be level with the roof of the built-in factory building, and then the mechanical arms on both sides began to move here.

"This is?" Number One asked curiously.

"Wait, these two robotic arms will directly lift the bow and move it to the aircraft carrier assembly position, and assemble the built bow module on the aircraft carrier." Li Lan answered.

Looking at the two hundred-meter-long robotic arms in motion, No.1 nodded and asked: "This bow has hundreds of tons, right? There is no problem with these two robotic arms?"

"No problem, don't underestimate these two robotic arms. Each robotic arm can easily lift more than one thousand tons of modules, and the weight of this bow module has exceeded two thousand tons." Li Lan explained.

"So heavy?" Looking at the bow, Number One was a little confused.

"Of course, don't look at the external appearance of this module, but the equipment inside is already installed. Basically, it's just a matter of installing an electromagnetic catapult." Li Lan nodded.

"Amazing!" In this regard, the number one is a layman, but he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run. From this hand, you can see that these things are not simple.

"The installation work of the bow may last for two or three days. This is just the beginning. Moreover, the entire movement of the robotic arm is fully automatic. When the time comes, laser calibration will be used. The bow will be placed exactly The hull structure." Li Lan further explained.

Number One nodded and watched the whole process quietly, while the reporters took out the cameras and began to record the extremely precious scene before them.

Below the shipyard, the hooks on the two robotic arms slowly hooked onto the ring on the bow, and the engineers who had stayed under the robotic arms were as far away as possible.

All eyes are on the position where the robot arm connects with the bow. When all the hooks are hooked on the ring on the bow, the two robot arms are applied at the same time, just like hands, slowly hoisting. This bow is over two thousand tons.

After waiting for the height to be almost the same as the height of the aircraft carrier assembly berth in the distance, the robotic arm began to move toward the aircraft carrier's berth, and at the distance of 300 meters, the two robotic arms walked for ten minutes.It was also this slow speed that the entire bow of the hung-up ship didn't shake at all.

The next step is the most critical scene. Everyone held their breath instantly and watched the bow slowly move to the head of the aircraft carrier hull. The prepared cushions were already filled with the nose-ball style that the aircraft carrier had installed. The upper part of the bow.

After the robotic arm holding the bow slowly came to the position of the bow of the ship, when the laser alignment below the bow was 100% aligned with the laser alignment of the hull, the robotic arm began to slowly lower the bow.

Without the slightest sound, the bow of the ship was quickly connected to the hull. At this time, the two mechanical arms also played a stabilizing role. The engineers who had been waiting for a long time began to get busy, connecting the modules. The existing built-in mechanical buckles were buckled and connected with rivets, and the electric welding work also started at the same time.

"How do you feel?" Li Lan asked this question again.

"Compared to what I saw on TV, everything I saw with my own eyes and felt personally was even more shocking." One said very directly.

"The next step is to put on rivets and electric welding. No one looks good. Let's go to the next shipyard and take a look at other warships." Li Lan also quickly announced the next itinerary.

"Yeah." No. 1 did not intend to go down and disturb the staff below, but followed Li Lan and walked towards the next shipyard.

And this visit took a full afternoon, during which Li Lan arranged to meet the Chinese engineers on the 1st, and Li Lan also encouraged the Red Police engineers.

Dinner is also arranged with these engineers.

The reporters from the two countries who followed the two of them did not have time to eat. They all returned to the news car in the first time, sorted out the afternoon harvest, and sent it back to the TV station as soon as possible.

Soon, two almost similar news were broadcast on Somalia and China TV at the same time.

In just one day, the outside world once again saw the solid foundation of the development of the Somali navy, and the one-sided reports by the reporters also brought more information to the outside world.

Although the ownership of this aircraft carrier has not been announced, Somalia's continued construction of the aircraft carrier, coupled with the long shipbuilding factory, is already an extremely strong signal.
