Warship of Great Power

There were sparkling waves on the sea, and Qin Tao was in a good mood as he looked at the waves at the rear of the warship ahead.

"To the north of us is Asan. Every time they pass by, they will send people and equipment to join in the fun. They should be coming soon this time. When they come, we will be studying their equipment."

"Brother Tao, Ah San has recently signed a formal contract with the British. The gantry will be dismantled and hoisted back next. By then, they will be even more angry."

"We have already reminded them, but they did not listen at all. Oh, what can we do? Hey, the warship helicopter hangar in front has opened. It seems that the ship-based helicopter is about to take off?"

"Yes, it seems there is something going on."

The 055 warship is very spacious and has a double hangar layout at the rear. Because the hangar area is very large, it generally does not carry the Z-20. Instead, it chooses the Z-18 with a larger take-off weight, especially the early-warning Z-18 Y. , the accompanying 052 mainly carries two Z-20s for anti-submarine warfare, so that the entire formation can carry six carrier-based helicopters, which can handle various situations. If that is not enough, there are also helicopters on the comprehensive supply ship.

Now, the 055 in front opened the cabin door, and a carrier-based early warning helicopter took off. The 052 on both sides took off an anti-submarine Z-20 each. This battle was a bit big.

At this time, Xu Zhengyang, who was on the bridge, also ran over: "Mr. Qin, there may be something going on outside. You'd better go into the cabin. It's safer in the cabin."

"What can happen? Isn't it just some minor harassment?" Qin Tao said: "We can call the Siamese Navy for support at any time. The worst we can do is conduct an exercise here first."

Qin Tao has seen big scenes, so this small situation will not affect him at all. He can watch the fun.

Xu Zhengyang was helpless.

However, the battle did not last long, and soon, two Zhi-Twenties flew back, while Zhi-Eight Y was always in the sky, supervising every move on the sea in the distance.

"Did you see it? It was a small scene." Qin Tao said: "There are no big threats in the water. At most, it is a Kilo-class submarine. Throwing some buoys is enough to scare them away."

"President Qin, the Asan Navy's underwater force is not only Kilo-class submarines, they also have a nuclear submarine."

"Yes, they also have a nuclear submarine leased from Lao Maozi, but it is still old-fashioned, and its performance is still under our control, so there is no need to worry."

"All right."

The episode in the voyage passed quickly, and the fleet continued to move forward. Qin Tao was bored and squatted on the bow of the ship, throwing down his fishing rod.

"Mr. Qin, our ship is moving forward, it is difficult to catch fish." Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but said when he saw Qin Tao dropping the fishhook.

"That's not necessarily true. Jiang Taigong can catch it even if he fishes with a straight hook, not to mention we still have bait." Qin Tao said: "We will eat whatever we catch today. If we can't catch it..."

As he spoke, there was a force coming from the fishing rod, and Qin Tao suddenly became excited. Did you see it? Here it comes!

So, Qin Tao started to reel in the line, and soon caught a big fish, weighing more than 20 kilograms!

"We have a good meal today. When the fish is ready, we will give them half a fish." Qin Tao pointed to 055 in front of him.

"How to send it?"

"Drones!"

Soon, an eight-rotor civilian drone took off from the cargo ship, with half a fish hanging underneath, and flew towards the 055 in front. Moreover, it circled around the ship island before flying to the rear. On the helicopter deck, half the fish was lowered.

On the warship, the formation commander had a meaningful smile on his face: "Today is a double blessing. We drove away a big fish underwater, and Mr. Qin caught another big fish!"

"Yes, it's all thanks to them, otherwise our life at sea would be really boring."

We are not afraid of challenges, we are only afraid of life being too monotonous.

The formation continued to sail southwest, crossed the equator, crossed the ocean, and finally arrived at the Rainbow Kingdom.

After entering the relevant waters, the Rainbow Nation Navy launched the foreign trade 054 frigate to greet them.

At that time, Mingzhou Group defeated the A200 frigates of its German counterpart and provided the Rainbow Nation with four 054 frigates. Moreover, these frigates were built at the Glorious Years Shipyard. Later, there were also two 039 submarines. These warships formed the Rainbow Nation. The main force of the navy is definitely ranked first among the coastal countries in southern Africa. However, after so many years, these warships have become a little old. The Rainbow Nation Navy needs brand-new warships with a displacement of 20,000. tons of amphibious assault ships, also known as aircraft carriers!

Looking at those 054, Qin Tao became even more energetic.

Since the new warships will also be built at the Glorious Years Shipyard, this time the fleet will dock directly at the dock of the Glorious Years Shipyard, and the security work here will be easier. Almost all of them are employees of the Glory Years Security Company. These were once the foundation of Vana, but now, in the Rainbow Kingdom, they have developed into a behemoth. Their force is stronger than the regular army of the Rainbow Kingdom. They can easily Control the entire Rainbow Kingdom.

A large group of leaders were standing on the pier waiting, including Meyer, who was going to the East to discuss cooperation this time, Davidson and others who had become good friends with Qin Tao before, and people from the shipyard. Liu Dashan stood at the pier, and the most Excited.

Boss Qin is here, Boss Qin is here! How much do these expatriates look forward to Boss Qin coming to see them!

However, they also know that Boss Qin's status is becoming more and more important, and the dangers he faces are also increasing. He has not been abroad for several years. This time he can come because he has more people to protect him, and it is also for the important projects here.

Build an amphibious ship! Their shipyard here is also going to start building amphibious ships. Their Glorious Years Shipyard has finally become the largest shipyard in Africa!

Watching the two ships transporting steel approaching, Liu Dashan's mood is getting more and more excited.

Finally, the ship docked, and two rows of Glorious Years security personnel immediately boarded the ship, walked to the hatch of the bridge, and then set up several bulletproof glass to protect Qin Tao layer by layer.

"No, it's not that serious. Even the President of the United States does not have this kind of treatment." Qin Tao looked at such a scene and felt a little embarrassed.

There are armed helicopters above his head, and there are guards every three steps and five steps in the port below. This is enough. If someone can get here to snipe him, it can only be said to be God's will.

"No, Mr. Qin, from the moment you set foot on the Rainbow Country, we will be fully responsible for your safety and ensure that nothing will happen to you." The security personnel on the side said in Russian, obviously the most elite group of Wana.

Where is Vitalia? I didn't see her, I guess she is hiding in the dark. In fact, as Wana becomes stronger, Vitalia's safety has become increasingly important, and there must be many people or organizations who want to kill her.

Mayer was the first to come up: "Mr. Qin, welcome to the Rainbow Country..."

Before he finished speaking, the bulletproof glass spread out and even wrapped him up.

"It's a great honor." Qin Tao looked at the scene around him and still felt a little uncomfortable. He had never experienced such a scene before.

"Everyone, is the time right? If it is right, we will hold the ceremony first, and then..."

If the ceremony is held first, there is no need to show up. After entering the building, there is no need to toss like this, right?

"The time is just right, Mr. Qin, we can start the construction ceremony right away. We will name this aircraft carrier..." Meyer paused, then continued: "Glorious Years!"

A song called "Glorious Years" has spread throughout the Rainbow Country, even throughout Africa, and the entire world, and it is still enduring. At this moment, the song is still playing on the radio of the shipyard, and the aircraft carrier of the Rainbow Country, the most powerful war machine, will also be named "Glorious Years"!

The bell rang the signal of returning home, and in his life, it seemed to be a little sad...

Accompanied by such a song, Qin Tao and everyone came to the platform that had been built next to the slipway of the shipyard. The target here is more obvious, and at the same time, the safety facilities here are more in place. From the outside to the inside, there are three layers of bulletproof glass.

Even if there is a tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet, it is still 14.5 mm caliber. When it passes through the first layer of bulletproof glass, there will be a warning, and then the bodyguard next to it can press the button and take Qin Tao and Zhao Ling directly into the underground through the flap mechanism under their feet.

Unless they dropped bombs, but if that happened, it would not be a simple assassination, but an act of war. The warships docked outside are not vegetarians.

Qin Tao walked up, looked at the pairs of eyes below, and then said: "Before the groundbreaking ceremony, I propose that we sing "Glorious Years" together!"

The response immediately sounded below: "Okay!"

"... Today there is only a remaining shell, welcoming the glorious years, holding on to freedom in the wind and rain..."

"After a lifetime of hesitation and struggle, self-confidence can change the future. Who can do it? Here, I can say that our Rainbow Country has done it!" Qin Tao looked at the people below, with confidence in his eyes: "The future of the Rainbow Country is in the hands of the Rainbow Country itself. Over the years, you have achieved freedom and realized your dreams. You have built a strong country with your own hands! You have a strong navy, and now you will also have a strong aircraft carrier!"

Although it is an amphibious assault ship, when it is announced to the outside world, the aircraft carrier is obviously more imposing, so Qin Tao has always used the name of the aircraft carrier.

"Now, I declare that the construction of the Glorious Years aircraft carrier has officially started!"

There was a warm applause from below. In the applause, the first ship steel plate was unloaded from the bulk carrier. The workers used their dexterous hands to draw lines and cut it, and then put it into the bending machine next to it. After repeated operations, the first steel plate was finally made!

"Mr. Qin, I saw modern shipbuilding tools in Mingzhou. The whole process is automated." Meyer said beside Qin Tao.

The ceremony has ended, and the next step is intensive construction. At this time, Meyer is a little dissatisfied with the old equipment of the Glorious Years Shipyard.

"Mr. Meyer, if we install advanced equipment here, it means that a large number of workers will lose their jobs." Qin Tao looked at Meyer: "You should know how important it is for ordinary people to have a job. You have a large amount of surplus labor here, so we would rather increase some working hours and spend more costs to give local workers more job opportunities."

Meyer nodded happily: "Yes, Mr. Qin, you are so good to us!"

Are you kidding me? Of course, those advanced equipment can only be used in China. If you get it here, if something unexpected happens, won't the machines and equipment be cheaper for others? What should I do if someone else learns from me?

Therefore, except for Eastern China, the equipment in other places has to be one level behind!

Almost the same day, Asan Cochin Shipyard.

"Today is an important day for our Asan shipbuilding business. In order to build our Asan's second aircraft carrier, we decided to build a brand new dry dock at the Cochin Shipyard!" Sunil stood on the rostrum and looked down. , said with confidence: "This dry dock is 310 meters long, 75 meters wide, and 13 meters deep. This dry dock can build a cargo ship of up to 100,000 tons, or an aircraft carrier of 80,000 tons. We are currently preparing to design a displacement ship A 75,000-ton super aircraft carrier, we named this aircraft carrier Vishal!”

Usually, it is named after it is launched into the water, or it is named when the order is placed. Now, Ah San announced the name of the new aircraft carrier when the dry dock was being built. This speed is too fast and it is unbelievable.

"This aircraft carrier will be a super aircraft carrier. In order to improve its combat effectiveness, we will also use electromagnetic ejection and electromagnetic interception technology on it. This is also an advanced technology that we are actively preparing to conquer!"

After reaching an agreement with the British, Ah San couldn't wait. Since the technology of electromagnetic catapults and electromagnetic interception is no longer a problem, it would be a waste to only use it on the Blue Sky Guardian. After all, the displacement of this aircraft carrier is not large enough. With the excitement of going to the East, they decided to build the next aircraft carrier.

This ship is bigger. The Cochin Shipyard does not have a shipyard of this level, so it can only build one first!

However, they are still not bold enough, or they are not courageous enough. Now they have only built an 80,000-ton aircraft carrier. What if they want to build a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier in the future? We have to make new ones!

At Asan's speed, it would take several years to build a dry dock, which was really not cost-effective.

But now, Ah San is happy, and we will talk about the future later.

"Our Asan's shipbuilding technology leads the world, and we will definitely be able to build an advanced aircraft carrier! At the same time, in order to cooperate with this shipyard, we will also purchase gantry cranes from the UK, with a lifting weight of up to 12,000 tons. With it, we can The 75,000-ton aircraft carrier is built in five or six sections, which can greatly speed up the construction progress. Our Vishal is expected to be completed within three years!”

Anyway, there is no tax for bragging. If Asan really wants to use the segmented construction method, it will be damned if they can be connected. The error will definitely be huge.

However, Ah San didn't care, he had to brag first, and besides, this shipyard was really built to match the gantry crane.

Only Asan could build a dock specifically for the newly purchased gantry crane.

"At the same time, we also decided to use nuclear power on this aircraft carrier!"

Ah San’s current aircraft carrier is equipped with an LM2500 gas turbine, but this power can only support a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier at most. If it is larger, it will not be able to push a 75,000-ton aircraft carrier. The British The gas turbine can't push it, so it can only be replaced by other power sources.

Ah San decided to launch a large satellite again and upgrade the power directly to nuclear power. After all, they don’t have the technology to burn boilers, and now Lao Maozi doesn’t have it either. They can’t buy it even if they want to. The only company in the world that produces 80,000 Dongfang is the only one that uses boilers for tonnage-class aircraft carriers, and Asan will never purchase aircraft carrier boilers from Dongfang.

Since we couldn't buy a boiler anyway, we might as well just go for nuclear power. Ah San had been thinking about building his own nuclear submarine, and by the way, he would also take care of the aircraft carrier's nuclear reactor.

Although these two types of nuclear reactors are very different, the French, the only people in the world who have packed a nuclear submarine reactor into an aircraft carrier, have proven how unreliable this is with actual actions, but Asantou Iron will definitely try again of.

Just because the French can't handle it doesn't mean Asan can't handle it.

Ah San was full of confidence.

Following Sunil's speech, the news quickly spread to the world. When it reached Qin Tao's ears, he was in a meeting with a group of senior officials from the Rainbow Kingdom.

"The construction technology of aircraft carriers is very complex. Although we have built frigates here, there is still a long way to go before we can build aircraft carriers. Therefore, we cannot rush, let alone use segmented construction. Our safest option is to use the manufacturing method of American aircraft carriers. , Tower construction, building the aircraft carrier bit by bit, although it takes more time, it is very safe and will not cause big problems. "

"That's right, we can't be in a hurry!"

"You must not make jokes, especially jokes like Ah San's."

Just as Asan was talking, an intelligence officer came in: "Report, I just got the news that the Asan Cochin Shipyard held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new dock today. They are about to build a second nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and the displacement will reach seven. Fifteen thousand tons.”

"President Qin, is a dock necessary to build an aircraft carrier?" Someone asked immediately.

There are two ways to build a ship. One is to build it directly on the slipway on land and then push the ship down. The other is to build it in a dock. After the ship is built, the dock is filled with water and the ship is driven out.

In comparison, the slipway is very simple, but launching into the water is very complicated. Especially for super aircraft carriers, the impact of launching may cause damage to the warship hull, so it is best to use a dock.

But, can Qin Tao answer like this?

The Glory Years Shipyard used slipways to build aircraft carriers!

“Of course it’s not necessary.” Qin Tao said: “It’s best to have a dock, but it’s a waste to build a dock for a ship. Most people can’t understand Ah San’s thinking. Our Mingzhou Group has advanced technology. The slipway and the dock are the same. When the Russians built aircraft carriers, they also used the slipway construction method.”
