Super military empire

The aircraft carrier, which should have drawn countless earth-shattering waves, arrived in China like this.

In order to contain the re-emergence of Russia, the Americans have exerted tremendous pressure on Russia, which has nothing to do with the matter. Russia is still kept in the dark. No matter how they investigate, they cannot figure out the specific situation of this aircraft carrier.

Moreover, it is not an easy task for the United States to prevent this aircraft carrier from reaching the Komsomolsk of Russia.

The aircraft carrier was towed all the way north by a tug, and was escorted by the Frunze and undetectable submarines. The warships stationed in Japan did not dare to force the confrontation with the Russian warships too much.

The shadow that the Soviet Red Navy once left them, made the American military personnel not dare to go too far. In the end, for the interests of the United States and for the strategic balance of Asia, the speed of China's technological development was delayed. This aircraft carrier is in The edge of the Yellow Sea in China turned from north to enter the Bohai Sea...

Things went so smoothly, almost everyone did not expect.

Including Liu Yijiu and others.

Even if surprised, or otherwise, it did not affect the speed of the aircraft carrier's entry into the 100,000-ton shipyard as originally planned.

"Now that the aircraft carrier is in hand, I hope everyone can hurry up and launch in the prescribed time!" Liu Yijiu looked at the crew related to the aircraft carrier and said with a serious expression, "This is a huge challenge, challenging. It is not only our naval equipment manufacturing technology, but also challenges the development of our entire system over the years. As long as it can be quickly manufactured, in the future, we will be able to make up for the shortcomings of our national defense."

"Director Liu, about the carrier aircraft..." Ai Guoxiu asked Liu Yijiu tentatively.

"You don't need to think about carrier-based aircraft. The J-11b upgraded from the J-11 is already undergoing prototype trial production. At the same time, the J-10 improved single-engine light fighter will be considered for boarding..." Both the carrier and the supporting facilities are major problems, and Liu Yijiu does not want any problems.

With an aircraft carrier shell and no carrier-based aircraft, that is completely nonsense.

No one thought that the aircraft carrier would start so quickly. At present, the Northern Shipyard, which is specialized in manufacturing large warships, has become the number one warship manufacturing unit in China.

The most excited person was Wu Donghao. Liu Yijiu was worried that he would have a conflict with the warship technicians from the Soviet Union, so after the meeting, he found Wu Donghao, "As for the personnel of the aircraft carrier chief engineer, what do you think? ?"

Wu Donghao didn't understand what Liu Yijiu meant, "Director Liu, you haven't mentioned a candidate for chief engineer at the meeting, you..."

Not to mention that Wu Donghao didn't understand Liu Yijiu and the thoughts of the Ninth Academy, other people also didn't.The candidate for the position of chief engineer is very important.

The North Shipyard is not part of the Ninth Institute. After so many years of cooperation between the two parties, the management staff of the North Shipyard has not changed much.

Regarding such a matter, the relevant personnel of the Northern Shipyard and the Navy Department have no objection. They are eager to participate in the design and manufacture of such a large warship and the National Heavy Equipment.

Now that the most critical chief worker election has not been determined, he has to worry.

"My personal idea is that one person from our country will be responsible for this aspect of the dispatch with Makarov. Although Makarov was told to understand our supporting units and manufacturing units before, it was not very thorough. After all, some The unit can't be completely open to them..." Liu Yijiu said as he looked at Wu Donghao, who looked calm before him.

Makarov, originally the Black Sea Shipyard, Liu Yijiu took a lot of effort to persuade the old man to agree to come to China.

At that time, the most tempting condition for the old man was to agree to let him continue to be responsible for the construction of the Ulyanovsk.

"Director Liu, I understand what you mean. Makarov's experience in this area is indeed much richer than ours. He is the chief engineer. I don't think anyone has any opinions." How can Wu Donghao not understand Liu Yijiu's thoughts? ?

Liu Yijiu looked at him and shook his head.

Wu Donghao didn't understand what he meant.

"In terms of aircraft carrier design, personnel from the Soviet Union accounted for one third, and in terms of management, there were also a large number. These different personnel were assigned to the relevant shipyards. Makarov was the chief engineer and was responsible for coordination. There is no problem." Wu Donghao didn't understand Liu Yijiu's thoughts. "If we let people here be chief workers and heads, it would be difficult to convince the Soviets."

Wu Donghao didn't want any wrangling during the construction of the project.

There is not much experience in building large warships in China, and almost everything starts from scratch.Even the transformation of the Iowa-class battleships was only accelerated after the Soviets arrived.

The managers and technicians of the two sides kept getting in touch during this process, and there were still many wrangling things.The main reason is that neither side is convinced.

"I mean, the two chief engineers and the deputy chief engineer will also consider that Makarov will coordinate the former Soviet technical personnel, and our engineers will coordinate various domestic units. The Chinese candidate, I think you compare Suitable." Liu Yijiu sighed and said to Wu Donghao in front of him.

Wu Donghao didn't think of his words at all.

Since the beginning of the cooperation, any project, whether it is the chief designer or chief engineer, is completely controlled by the personnel of the Ninth Academy. Others are not the internal personnel of the Ninth Academy. It is impossible at all.

The aircraft carrier, such a big project, such a big achievement!

"Director Liu, this..." Wu Donghao didn't know how to answer.

He was worried that Liu Yijiu was a temptation, and even more worried that Liu Yijiu was a sugar-coated cannonball given to let him continue to work at ease.

"In the previous battleship transformation, although you did not serve as the chief engineer, you were doing the chief engineer. The Ninth Academy did not have senior management personnel in these areas. Even if there were, it would be difficult to take care of this." Liu Yijiu grinned, "Don't think about it too much. I hope that during the 99th century military parade, our aircraft carriers can be outfitted in the water."

For this goal, Liu Yijiu can say nothing is considered.

If the members of the Ninth Institute forcibly intervene, it will be difficult for them to complete it in two years.

The people of the former Soviet Union belonged to the Ninth Court system, and their identity itself is a bit embarrassing. If they are held accountable here, some problems will easily arise.

In any case, Liu Yijiu would not want such a thing to happen.

Wu Donghao was ecstatic in his heart. He did not expect that Liu Yijiu would agree to let him be the chief engineer. He thought Liu Yijiu would let Mai Dongyue of the 701 Institute be responsible. Now the hanging stone fell to the ground and he immediately faced it seriously. Liu Yijiu promised, "Dr. Liu, please rest assured, I will use my best efforts to ensure that our project is completed within the specified time!"

Regarding Wu Donghao's assurance, Liu Yijiu nodded with satisfaction.

Later, he went to find Makarov with Wu Donghao, Ai Guoxiu and others.

When Makarov saw Liu Yijiu, his eyes flashed with an abnormal light, "Liu, the carrier is finally back!"

Prior to this, although Makarov came into contact with China’s warship manufacturing industry, compared with the huge manufacturing capacity of the former Soviet Union and numerous supporting factories, China has nothing to do with it, except in terms of technology. Compared with the Soviet Union.

Although he said that production needs to be expanded, the Chinese side began to expand. On the surface, everything is for the manufacture of aircraft carriers. In fact, he knows better than anyone how much money is needed to build an aircraft carrier.

Liu Yijiu promised and asked him to continue manufacturing aircraft carriers. He was also tempted to complete the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that were not completed at the Black Sea Shipyard.

But after coming to China for several years, no one said anything about the aircraft carrier plan.Expansion of production scale and technological upgrades are not just for the manufacture of aircraft carriers. China has at least two other large warship manufacturing projects, such as the 0.55 million ton destroyer and the missile battleship transformation at the northern shipyard.

China's manufacturing scale is many times smaller than that of the Soviet Union. All large warships basically use a manufacturing system, which makes him somewhat hopeless.

The moment he saw the Ulyanovsk, which he had ate, slept and slept on for several months, was towed into the port and then into the dock, the whole talent became excited.

The Chinese did not lie to him.

The years of dealing with other Chinese units made him worry again. The construction of this aircraft carrier should be the responsibility of the Chinese people. Can they continue?

"Mr. Makarov, what I promised has been done. Moreover, in these years, our package has been completed, and the rest is your business..." Liu Yijiu saw the old man's face He said with a smile.

"Relax, as long as I am given enough rights, I am confident that the Ulyanovsk will be launched again in five years!" Makarov opened his mouth and demanded his rights.

When Aiguoxiu, Wu Donghao and others heard this time, they couldn't help looking at Liu Yijiu with a wry smile.

They could not refute Liu Yijiu, but Makarov is considered a top expert in this area.

In two years, they thought it was impossible.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yijiu became serious and said to Makarov, "No, you only have two years. The aircraft carrier must be launched before the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1999!" Of course, I am not referring to just asking for forced launching and then various problems, but to outfitting after launching!"

"This is impossible!" Makarov immediately widened his eyes and shook his head and said to Liu Yijiu.

For an aircraft carrier, all the systems on it have been dismantled. Even if the power system, windlass, anchor chain, propellers, etc. are not dismantled, they cannot be used. Just a shell is more difficult than remanufacturing, especially the original one. The design has been improved a lot, and it was completely impossible to make it into the water in two years.

"In our China, there will be no impossible things at all!" Liu Yijiu can ignore these. For two years, although it seems very nervous, after many arguments and reasoning, it is completely feasible.

Moreover, it is not the kind of international joke that the third brother's house next door forced the aircraft carrier into the water when it was not fully built.

"Liu, I know your eagerness, and we also prefer that this powerful warship can sail in the sea as soon as possible... However, the aircraft carrier is not a small warship, and the requirements for various supporting facilities and manufacturing capabilities are very high!" Makarov shook his head, he thought Liu Yijiu was crazy.Turning to Wu Donghao, he said, "Wu, you should be aware of the problem of time and tell him this is impossible..."

Makarov believes that when he is alone, some people speak lightly. Wu Donghao and others know the inside story and hope they can help them persuade Liu Yijiu.

Aircraft carrier manufacturing is not a trivial matter. Time is too tight and problems are prone to occur in the end.

Wu Donghao had passed through Liu Yijiu's ditch before. When Ai Guoxiu came back, he was vaccinated. For other projects, Liu Yijiu's time was not impossible to complete. Now Liu Yijiu proposes two aircraft carriers. It will not be taken for granted to complete the foundation construction and then launch in a year.

Therefore, he had no choice but to shake his head at the old Soviet man.

It is difficult to change what Liu Yijiu has decided.Once he is dissatisfied, the entire project may eventually be cancelled. The high-level military said at the beginning that no matter whether there are difficulties or how great the difficulties, they must cooperate with the Ninth Academy.

This is all because the military hopes that the projects of the Ninth Academy will stimulate the upgrading and development of the domestic naval equipment manufacturing industry.

"Mr. Makarov, I know this is very difficult. However, you should be aware of the development of our naval equipment manufacturing industry over the years. Two years are indeed relatively small compared to an aircraft carrier, but this aircraft carrier already has A large part of the construction has been completed. You only need to modify the areas that need to be modified in the design, and then replace the various systems that have been installed. The power system, spindle, etc. are almost finished!" Liu Yijiu took a deep breath. Tone, "If, according to the time of 8 hours a day, this does take many years. However, there are 24 hours a day!"

"Humans are not machines. Even if machines have been running for a long time, they need to be shut down for maintenance!" Makarov's eyes widened.

"Eight hours in three shifts!" Wu Donghao heard Liu Yijiu's words and knew what his idea was.During the whole construction process, there will be no holidays and workers will have rest, but any progress of the project cannot be delayed because of workers' rest.

"Only two years, either agree to my terms and you will continue to be responsible, or someone else will be responsible!" Liu Yijiu didn't bother to say anything else."I can only give so much time."
