Super military empire

"The question is, where do we get so much money? How to solve the problem of funding?" In terms of technology, Li Xiangyang knows that as long as he keeps investing, gradually accumulating, and the time is up, he can easily solve these technical problems.

No technology can never be broken.

Time is the most important.

Of course, the problem of funding is indispensable. Without funding, it will also make progress extremely difficult. What's more, now that China has been reforming and opening for more than ten years, it is no longer the passion of building a new China when the country was just founded. The age of hard struggle with lofty ideals.

With the continuous deepening of reform and opening up, the gradual development of the national economy, and the impact of foreign ideas and culture on the country, people are paying more and more attention to the rewards they can get.

Moreover, the Ninth Institute has also made a bad start, that is, the cost will always be higher than other units, relying on various good treatments to attract technical talents.

"Our Ninth Academy made a lot of money this time..." Liu Yijiu smiled happily, "This money naturally has to be invested in it. Didn't the Americans rely on plundering the world to become strong and wealthy? When there is a problem in their domestic economy, it is naturally no problem to win a vote. They have to thank us, don't they?"

Except for the people in charge of the money, even Liu Yijiu himself doesn't know how much the funds of the Ninth Academy are.

After Japan signed the Plaza Agreement with the governments of the United States and other countries before, the funds of the Ninth Court were tumbling on the international financial market. Then the Gulf War caused the price of crude oil to rise, and then the United States was attacked by terrorists, and countless people on Wall Street jumped off buildings...

"How much do you have? Tens of billions of dollars? You have a lot of projects in your hands!" Li Xiangyang asked Liu Yijiu in surprise.

The military's funds are still on the international crude oil market. Iran has entered the war. The price of international crude oil futures has exceeded the $65 mark. If it continues, it will definitely exceed 70 or even 100...

Therefore, the military speculator team will certainly not let go easily.

Liu Yijiu was too lazy to remind.

"We should have more than 100 billion of funds in our hands! So, Chief, I hope the above will consider whether our navy will build one or two more 100,000-ton shipyards..." Liu Yijiu said, licking his lips, "Light It is not enough to have battleships. Our development on land is not much possible. We can only look at the sea..."

One hundred thousand tons of dock!

Liu Yijiu's 100,000 tons is not a 100,000-ton dock for merchant ships.

As soon as he said his words, Li Xiangyang's eyes flashed instantly, and then the light disappeared, and he shook his head and said, "Don't think about it. In a short period of time, it is impossible for us to complete the design of a warship with a level of more than 10,000 tons. Tens of thousands of tons of design and construction may be carried out, and the parameters of the Iowa-class battleship in your hands are simply impossible to transform into an aircraft carrier!"

Yes, Liu Yijiu proposed that the purpose of building a 100,000-ton dock is for aircraft carriers.

Major countries in the world, the United States, the Soviet Union, France and the United Kingdom have aircraft carriers, but China does not have aircraft carriers.

Not to mention that China does not have an aircraft carrier. Even the construction of a 10,000-ton warship is somewhat difficult.

The 055-class destroyer, so far, has not taken shape, except for the 052-class destroyer, whose tonnage is too small.

Throughout history, although China had the first fleet in Asia during the Qing Dynasty, it did not develop its own warship manufacturing capabilities. The purchased warships could not make the Chinese navy strong. Therefore, after the Sino-Japanese War of Jiawu, China basically did not The navy...

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the threat from the Soviet Union from the northern border was far more urgent than the threat from the sea. The country was impoverished. When Jiang Guangtou ran away, he almost emptied the entire country’s treasury, leaving behind a devastated Chinese land. To the new government.

Everything was built from scratch, the international environment is harsh, and the Soviet Union in the north is likely to march southward at any time. This makes most of the domestic resources used for the development of land weapons and equipment.

As for the navy, it has not been much developed.

During the reform and opening up, the government’s strategic focus was entirely shifted to economic work, drastically cutting down many projects that are not so suitable for China at present. Many of the navy’s equipment had to be rejected for technical reasons. Put it aside.

The 055 large guided missile destroyer, the Chinese aircraft carrier, etc., were cut off for this reason.

Even the original Yun Ten was in the ranks of being shelved.

Only the 531 ship has been in operation for many years, but because of the Haihongqi missiles and electronic equipment, it cannot quickly equip the troops. If the Ninth Academy is not taken over, the development of the Navy’s projects is estimated to wait until the 21st century. These problems can only be solved by investing heavily and using money entirely.

Now Liu Yijiu is about to propose to start the design and construction of the aircraft carrier, even if Li Xiangyang is very supportive, he has to stop it.

The current Chinese economy cannot support the aircraft carrier fleet.

"Also, with an aircraft carrier, other auxiliary ships are needed. The Type 052 guided-missile destroyer has not been fully completed so far. Your 0.55 million ton-class destroyer does not know when it will be able to form combat effectiveness, and there must be a large supply ship. Wait, this all requires technology and funds. How long can the funds in the hands of the Ninth Academy be supported?" Li Xiangyang's words are very realistic.

In China, there is not much experience in the construction of large surface ships.

Even the 052-class guided missile destroyer has many technologies imported from abroad, and it is not as advanced as the technology developed by the Ninth Academy.

"Chief, we are not proposing these plans to quickly build these large-scale weapons and equipment. I think you should understand that, just like some of the projects we have done before, only the project is established, and the funds are continuously invested. Other foundations Scientific research and preparation work can be carried out effectively..."

Liu Yijiu was also helpless.

Only when the project is established can we develop basic technologies and train basic talents in a targeted manner.

The Ninth Academy has basically been doing these things for so many years.

If it were not for his guidance in many projects, whether it was a domestic turbofan engine, a fighter jet, or a large aircraft, it would be the same as before, and there would be no difference.

China's military science and technology, for so many years, now, is about to begin to show real results!

Seeing Liu Yijiu's words, Li Xiangyang didn't pour cold water on him. If it was just a project to train talents and promote the development of basic technology and supporting industries, there would be no problem.

Immediately he asked Liu Yijiu, "What kind of aircraft carrier do you want to study? What is the tonnage?"

According to his idea, even if China wants to build an aircraft carrier, for the sake of safety, when there is no experience and no technical reference, it should be a light aircraft carrier with conventional power.

This is the most reliable.

After all, they have the design experience of the 055 ship. This team is constantly absorbing the hull structure technology of the Iowa-class battleship. If it is just a light aircraft carrier with conventional power, it will be far easier than a larger tonnage aircraft carrier.

"According to our vision, since it is the first time to design and build, we are going to use conventional power. As for the tonnage, we have no experience in building large surface ships. The first one will start with a standard displacement of 60,000 tons of conventional power aircraft carrier... …And the carrier-based aircraft has no ejection technology, so it can only take off with a skid jump...When you have experience, the second one will be nuclear powered and ejected..." Liu Yijiu said calmly.

However, Li Xiangyang, who was opposite him, had a monstrous wave in his heart.

When Liu Yijiu talked more and more outrageous, the chief of staff had to interrupt Liu Yijiu's yy.

Yes, in the eyes of the chief of staff, Liu Yijiu is yy.

"Comrade Xiao Liu, can we be more realistic? If you have to insist on doing this, we will not be able to support you anyway. The larger the aircraft carrier, the more we need it. The question is, can we design and build it?" Li Xiangyang said to Liu Yijiu very seriously."To get started, we will start with a light aircraft carrier with a capacity of 20,000 tons. After gaining experience, we can increase it on the right path. If we have not learned how to walk, we want to run, which is undesirable."

In his view, there is not much technical support in China, and it is also difficult to build a light aircraft carrier of 20,000 to 30,000 tons.

Naval equipment is lacking in all aspects of technology.

Whether it is the smelting and manufacturing technology of special steel for ships with better performance, the structural design of large warships, or even the power drive system of large warships, they are all serious problems.

At first, 055 was unrealistic. Technology was one aspect, and the other aspect was the problem of power system.

If it were not that the power system could not be promoted at all, the country would definitely not suppress the tonnage of warships that should have been 10,000 tons below 6,000 tons!

"Chief, how many fighters can a light aircraft carrier of 20,000 or 30,000 tons carry?" Liu Yijiu was a little speechless. For him, he had never thought about building a light aircraft carrier.

For light aircraft carriers, take the British Invincible aircraft carrier as an example. The standard displacement of this aircraft carrier is only 20,700 tons. The carrier aircraft can only carry 12 vertical/short take-off and landing Sea Harrier gr.7/9 and 10 aircraft. "Sea King" aew anti-submarine helicopter (or aw101 "Gray-backed Falcon" helicopter); or 18 sea harriers, 4 helicopters.

Such weapons and equipment must be attacked and defensive at sea, which is simply not enough.

What's more, just a c801 anti-ship missile silenced Britain, the world's most advanced light aircraft carrier. Although there are too many doubts, the fact is that it turns out.
