Spark

The situation deteriorated further, and the superiors began to actively seek a solution.

However, at this point in time, in this form, non-governmental channels are no longer applicable.

055 is the best choice, which is something everyone knows well.

But if it's too late, it's another matter.

Therefore, on the basis of the 055 "trial flight" plan, an alternative plan has also been launched.

052C starts to leave...

A few weeks later, inside the Dalian Shipyard.

Chen Nian flipped through the inspection records for the last time, and after confirming that everything was normal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and closed the thick manual in his hand.

Opposite him, Chen Guo observed his expression with great interest, and asked:

"Well, everything is ready?"

Chen Nian nodded slightly, and replied:

"It should be said that the preparations before launching into the water have already been completed."

"Most of what we did in the previous month was the outfitting work before launching."

"Even if these things are not completed, it will not affect the launch of the aircraft carrier."

"The reason for the inspection and completeness is mainly to shorten the service time of this aircraft carrier from the sewer."

"After all, although the current external environment looks calm, it is actually a dark tide."

"We really need an aircraft carrier too much, and this aircraft carrier can't have any problems yet."

"As soon as it is born, it must exert the strongest combat effectiveness."

"Otherwise, once the situation becomes unstable, the backlash we will suffer will be unimaginable"

Hearing what Chen Nian said, Chen Guo nodded in agreement.

Compared to Chen Nian, who was concentrating on technology, during this period of time, he paid much more attention to the overall situation.

Therefore, he also knows better than Chen Nian what this aircraft carrier represents and the heavy responsibilities it will undertake in the future.

It is no exaggeration to say that this aircraft carrier is a pinnacle of stability. If it can stand still, there will be no big storms in China's seas, or even in the world's seas.

but if you can't stand

It consumes a lot of resources and cannot obtain the due hidden rewards. For this country, the blow cannot be said to be fatal, but it is also traumatic.

However, from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't think there will be any problems with this aircraft carrier.

After all, no matter whether it was Chen Nian, Mr. Liu, or those ordinary engineers, Chen Guo saw the work they did.

If after such efforts and the strength of so many people, this aircraft carrier cannot become a blockbuster, then there is probably no country in this world that can build an aircraft carrier.

Thinking of this, he tapped lightly on the table and said:

"Don't be too nervous, no matter from which point of view, this project is unlikely to have any problems."

"Tomorrow is the day to go into the water, and then the boss will come too—how about it, do you want to meet?"

Chen Nian naturally knew who Chen Guo was referring to as the boss. According to general logic, this was a character that most ordinary people would never see in their lifetime. If there was a chance, they would definitely want to meet.

But Chen Nian had a completely different idea.

Without the slightest hesitation, he shook his head and replied:

"It's not necessary, we don't have a reason to have a dialogue, so we don't need to meet."

"I guess you're going to say that, but are you really not going to meet?"

Chen Guo did not agree immediately, but continued:

"You also mentioned before that after the aircraft carrier, your technological direction will begin to change to the near future. This is a very critical node."

"You know, aircraft carrier, bomber, high-speed rail, these things are already in our country's plan. What you have done is actually to advance the long-term plan to the near future to realize it."

"So, no matter how hard you try, no matter what resources you need, you will basically not encounter any obstacles."

"But it will be different in the near future. You will be the planner."

"Your decisions about every technology will affect the strategic layout of the entire country."

"At that time, what you need to do is not just as simple as developing technology"

Chen Nian smiled, but did not answer.

Of course he knew what Chen Guo meant.

After entering the unknown territory, Huaxia can no longer cross the river by feeling the eagle sauce, and there is no reliable reference system to tell the upper-level decision-makers whether a plan is worthwhile and whether it is feasible.

Therefore, the weight of pure technology will decline objectively, which is beyond doubt and unavoidable.

To eliminate the negative impact of this weight drop, there are only two options:

Or, Chen Nian suddenly became a "technical dictator", relying on his own "technical hegemony" to obtain the supreme right to speak.

Or, Chen Nian needs to maintain a closer relationship with "resource decision makers" to ensure that his plan can get their support.

Compared with the first strategy, the implementation of the second strategy is less difficult and more scientific and reasonable.

The reason why Chen Guo suggested "meeting each other" was also out of this consideration.

But Chen Nian's idea was completely opposite.

From the beginning to the end, he has been trying to put an end to one thing, that is: getting too close to secular power.

He didn't know what would happen if he had too much power in his hands, but he knew that it shouldn't be a good thing.

Therefore, even if the first strategy seems more dangerous and more challenging to him, he will make a choice without hesitation.

So he opened his mouth and said:

"What is technical belongs to technology, and what belongs to power belongs to power."

"I don't want the two to be confused."

"Professor Chen, I know what you're worried about—in fact, it's nothing more than worrying that after entering an unfamiliar field, the technology I export will affect the overall situation because of one or several times of 'inappropriateness'. "

"But I want to tell you that this kind of thing is not going to happen."

"Otherwise, why did I form Xinghuo?"

"It's not just a technology department, it's actually the middle layer of technology and power."

"Spark has worked very well for a few years, and it will continue to do so in the future."

"As long as Spark exists, new technology traps cannot appear."

Hearing this, Chen Guo finally showed a smile on his face.

He didn't persuade any more, but said firmly:

"Okay, then do as you say!"

Early the next morning, the launching ceremony of the Type 001 aircraft carrier officially began.

Chen Nian still chose a place away from the crowd, quietly watching the process of the ceremony.

Standing on the pier as representatives are not only superior leaders, engineers and naval personnel, but also worker representatives who participated in the Deep Blue 16 project, who were the first to wear the exoskeleton and played an important role in the subsequent construction work. Feng Tiecheng was among them.

Chen Nian stood beside him, looking at his expression curiously.

Chen Nian really wants to know, what kind of mood is he in now?

But Feng Tiecheng didn't notice Chen Nian's gaze at all, he just looked into the distance with excitement, his body trembled slightly, and even his eyes were a little moist.

Four years, four full years.

He has been involved in this project since its inception, and he has witnessed the whole process of this aircraft carrier from rusty to brand new.

He remembered that when he first joined the project team, he even complained to other workers about the whimsy of the project.

In his opinion at that time, it was almost impossible to restore the function of this "giant ship".

Its condition is too bad, like an old man in his dying years, it seems that just a slight gust of sea breeze can drag it into the bottom of the sea.

How easy is it to repair such a ship?

Maybe, it will take at least 10 years? ——

But later, the development of the project far exceeded his imagination.

In just four years, this aircraft carrier that should have died announced its rebirth, and the aggressiveness it displayed was even stronger than the American aircraft carrier I saw on some websites!

Seeing that the aircraft carrier was about to dock, Feng Tiecheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and said to the workers beside him:

"This thing is so big, why didn't you think it was so big when you were on the boat?"

Hearing his words, the worker replied:

"I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I just live in this mountain. It's normal. We used to have a tight construction schedule and were too tired. Every time we got off work, we wanted to go back and rest quickly, and we didn't even bother to look back at the boat we built. "

"Look at it now, Huo, what a beast."

"I can't even imagine how we made it."

"Yes. Hey, Lao Liu, do you think we will have a chance to build a new aircraft carrier after this time? I mean, a brand new one!"

"There must be."

Old Liu continued with a natural look, and continued:

"There's more than one ship. Let me do the math for you. I'm 30 this year, and I have at least 35 years left until I retire at the age of 65."

"Building a new aircraft carrier, I don't say it's too fast, one in five years, at least I can build another seven."

"A total of 8 aircraft carriers, enough for me to blow up before I die"

"Hey, it's true."

The two couldn't help giggling, and Chen Nian couldn't help but smile after listening to the whole process.

To say that the workers are courageous, at this point in time, I am afraid that even many superior leaders dare not imagine the world of "8 aircraft carriers"

While speaking, the queue review has been completed, and the naming ceremony is about to begin.

Unlike the conventional operation of the 055 ship, the No. 001 aircraft carrier did not follow the requirements of the Naval Ship Naming Regulations, and the hull number was awarded and named after it was listed.

In fact, due to the high degree of attention to this ship, it has already completed the hull number awarding and naming work three months before it was launched.

Hull number 11, name Liaoning.

The reason why 16 was not selected as the hull number according to the serial number of the dark blue 16 project is actually very simple.

Because Chen Nian felt that in this world, Huaxia must have at least 10 aircraft carrier formations, and according to the usual practice, the serial number of the second aircraft carrier is generally one plus one from the first.

Up to Hull No. 20, there are only 5 aircraft carriers, so where is it enough?

Therefore, it is better to ignore the meaning and directly 11, which is simple and easy to remember.

Of course, from another perspective, the reason why the aircraft carrier was called 16 in the previous life was actually an accidental choice, and there is no need to follow it.

After submitting his suggestion, the superior quickly passed it and made a decision to advance the naming ceremony to the launching ceremony.

——

At this time, Zhu Yingfu, the chief engineer of the Deep Blue 16 project, had already walked in front of the crowd.

Opposite him was Mr. Liu who had been specially arranged to receive the naming certificate from him.

Old Liu's body stood upright, showing no signs of decadence.

If Chen Nian hadn't known about his physical condition, he would even have thought that Mr. Liu was just a strong old man.

It can be seen that he has waited too long for this day.

Facing the direction of the crowd, he raised his arms and saluted a standard military salute.

Later, he took over the significant certificate from Zhu Yingfu.

In the next second, the champagne hanging on the bow of the ship shattered, and colorful smoke sprayed into the air on both sides of the giant ship.

A deep and majestic whistle sounded, and then all the ships in the port began to whistle in unison.

Uncontrollable cheers erupted from the crowd, and Feng Tiecheng beside Chen Nian didn't stop applauding until the colorful smoke dissipated, and he stood still again, looking at the rear of the aircraft carrier.

There, two tugboats approached the dock and slowly towed the dock gate open.

Immediately afterwards, the tugboat entered the dock, hung up the tow rope, and towed the aircraft carrier out of the dock.

More tugboats also began to approach, and with the help of these tugboats, the aircraft carrier completed a turn on the sea surface and headed towards the scheduled pier where it would eventually berth.

The whole process was actually extremely dull, even a bit boring.

The launch of the dry dock does not have the splashing and majestic scene when the slipway is launched.

But everyone present felt its incomparable aura when the aircraft carrier really moved.

The people waiting at the pier were like ants, quietly watching the mountain go away.

At this moment, everyone knows that this aircraft carrier, which has gone through hardships, will officially embark on its journey.

Liaoning.

Not only Liaohe Anning, but Zhenliao Yongning!
