Warship of Great Power

"It's terrible that this hydrogen energy factory could explode." Browsing the webpage, Qin Tao sighed: "Fortunately, there is only a small town nearby. If it were in a city, once an explosion occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Yes, Zhang Zhong also thinks it's terrible, so he wants to make a program to discuss the dangers of hydrogen energy." Xu Zhengyang said.

Qin Tao thought for a while, then shook his head: "Why would he report on this instead of military equipment? Why is he trying to get attention?"

Xu Zhengyang nodded: "Okay, I got it."

Zhang Zhong said the program was very popular, but at the same time, it was also labeled. Everyone knew that Zhang Zhong said the program was on the side of Mingzhou Group. If Zhang Zhong discussed how dangerous hydrogen energy was in the program, it would be easy for people to think that Mingzhou Group was behind it. Qin Tao didn't want to take the blame.

"If he has nothing to do, he can discuss our Future City." Qin Tao said, "How is the Future City project going? Have you coordinated with the city?"

"Yes." Xu Zhengyang said, "Forty kilometers east of Tianjin, there is a saline-alkali land. Across the river is the most prosperous development zone in Tianjin Binhai. Tianjin originally planned to jointly develop this land with foreign countries and take the ecological route. However, the country of cooperation was not selected, and the project has been stagnant. They took the initiative to find our Mingzhou Group, hoping to build the Future City."

"Okay, then this piece of land, saline-alkali land, there are no indigenous people, this is the best to develop." Qin Tao nodded: "Let's sign the contract first, hold the groundbreaking ceremony, let Zhang Zhong go with us to interview, and report on the high technology of the Future City by the way, let those who criticize us listen, the battery is just a transition, our electric car technology route is wireless charging!"

"Okay."

It was already May 2006, the sky in Tianjin was clear, there were countless seagulls flying by the sea, and countless reeds on the saline-alkali land were swaying in the wind. The scenery looked good.

"Boss Qin, we are very happy that your Mingzhou Group can develop our place and turn it into a future city. We originally planned to focus on ecology and call it an eco-city, but now we think that the future city is better." A leader of Jincheng spoke up.

"The two should be combined into one, and the future city will also pay attention to ecology." Qin Tao said: "Our Mingzhou Group has always been committed to improving the global ecology. We know that ships use clean fuels and wind energy for this reason. We only have one earth."

"Yes, Boss Qin, you are right. In the future, the future city will focus on electric vehicles to contribute to global environmental protection. We are very honored that our future city can become a model."

"Okay, then let's hold the groundbreaking ceremony."

Other things can be put aside, but the groundbreaking ceremony is urgent. The groundbreaking means that the project has been settled!

Countless cameras came over, and the big leaders picked up shovels and started to lay the foundation. Under a bridge shaped like a rainbow, a pit was dug and a black stone tablet was placed in it with three big characters on it: Future City.

On May 5, 2006, the Mingzhou Group's Future City project was laid on a saline-alkali land by the sea in the Jincheng Development Zone!

"Dear viewers, I am Zhang Zhong. Today I came to the foundation laying ceremony of the Future City. I am very excited. This will be a model of the future city. For many people, they may not know about this Future City. Now, let us ask Mr. Kong, the project leader of the Future City, to introduce it to us."

Kong Laoer has worked everywhere over the years and has acquired a lot of skills. He is not panicked at all when standing in front of the camera.

"Our Future City project is future-oriented and has penetrated into every aspect of people's daily life. In general, it is to build a template for a future city with the Internet of Things as the backbone and big data as the basis."

"Mr. Kong, can you introduce them to us one by one? For example, transportation?"

"In terms of transportation, the city's traffic lights are all intelligently networked and turned on according to needs. For example, if there are many cars on a certain lane, the green light time will be longer, which can improve traffic efficiency. If there is an ambulance on a certain lane, it can also be released first to give priority to the patient's requirements. Of course, the most critical thing is the road."

"We will lay a wireless power supply network under the road, so that our electric vehicles can directly use the power provided by the road when they are driving on the road." Kong Laoer continued to introduce.

The previous ones are all preparations, and the last ones are the most important. After Zhang Zhong said that after the program is broadcast, the whole country and the world will know what the Future City looks like.

The Future City is mainly electric vehicles, and the city has greatly reduced automobile exhaust emissions. Moreover, there is no need to worry about environmental pollution caused by batteries, charging explosions, etc., because the electric vehicles in the Future City are powered by roads!

Zhang Zhong said that after this segment was broadcasted, the program began to intersperse various technologies.

"We are very curious about this wireless power supply technology, so we specially investigated it and found that it is indeed the best solution for future cars!" Zhang Zhong's tone was very emotional: "Speaking of future electric cars, Golden Sun Company is serious, and they have provided a perfect solution!"

Some people criticize electric cars for being environmentally unfriendly, isn't it just the battery problem? We have solved it now, just a small battery, which can be used when leaving the road to enter and exit the community garage, as long as you are on the road, there will be abundant power supply!

Normal fuel vehicles also need a starting battery. The battery of our electric vehicle is the same size as that of a fuel vehicle. What dangers can there be?

"We can imagine what a beautiful scene the cars of the future will be. The cars drive on the road without any noise or pollution. Moreover, the cars of the future will be intelligent and can completely eliminate the need for drivers!"

“We know that current electric cars still have drivers, which is a limitation of regulations and technology. But in the future, electric cars in Future City can completely eliminate the need for drivers, because Golden Sun Automobile’s autonomous driving technology has completely Mature!”

"Okay, let's take a look at the power supply of Future City." Zhang Zhong continued: "Because it is close to the sea, Future City will use offshore mobile nuclear power plants to obtain clean electricity, and this is just one From now on, the future city will use more advanced nuclear fusion power plants, which will be completely green and pollution-free.”

Another argument used by those people to criticize Dongfang Electric Vehicles is the source of electricity. This is also simple. We use nuclear power plants, which are completely green and pollution-free. In the future, we can also use nuclear fusion power plants, which are the first in the world!

What about hydrogen energy? The cheapest hydrogen is made from coal, but this preparation method is seriously polluting and has the risk of explosion. The way to make hydrogen completely using electricity is to electrolyze water, but this feels like farting and taking off your pants.

Originally, it would be enough to use electricity directly to supply electric vehicles, but electricity must first be used to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen is added to the vehicle, enters the fuel cell, and is converted back into electricity to propel the vehicle forward, which is a big circle.

Except for rockets, no thermal engine in the world can be directly driven by hydrogen. The so-called hydrogen energy is just letting hydrogen enter a fuel cell and turn it into electricity. To put it bluntly, hydrogen, like lithium batteries, is also used to store electrical energy.

How to choose the route, do you need to say? Ours is already in its final form. If you take the hydrogen energy route, it will take you a long way, it will be dangerous, and it will not be environmentally friendly!

Zhang Zhong said that when the program was broadcast, the whole world became a sensation, and automobile experts from various countries began to spit and comment on these plans.

Soon, technical experts from the island country began to speak again.

"We believe that pure electric solutions are always inappropriate, and the future technology route should be hybrid power! We will work hard to improve the performance of the engine, make the engine work in the optimal range, charge the battery at the same time, use the battery at low speeds and use the engine at high speeds , which can greatly reduce fuel consumption and save energy!”

Upon receiving this news, Qin Tao showed a victorious smile.

Well, the islanders finally gave in.

They no longer chant the slogan of hydrogen energy. Just give up on this. As for hybrid power, it still burns oil and produces exhaust emissions!

"Mr. Qin, after these recent events, the response of various countries to hydrogen energy has become cold. Several countries want to inspect our future city and inspect our wireless power supply technology."

"Welcome to Future City. Wireless power supply technology is too advanced to be displayed."

"good."

In terms of power supply, Golden Sun Company is definitely No. 1 in the world. The Americans have not yet solved the mess of electromagnetic catapults. Dongfang has already used two ships. It is clear who is advanced and who is lagging behind. This wireless power supply technology is also The strengths of Golden Sun Company.

"By the way, how is the Yankees' Ford going?"

"It should be launched soon. It is said that the Americans can no longer bear it. They are modifying the USS Kennedy and want to convert this aircraft carrier into an electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier."

Qin Tao was stunned: "Modify an aircraft carrier that is about to be retired? What are the Americans going to do?"

"Their Ford is making slow progress. According to the current progress, it will take at least five years to complete the construction and finalize the service. The Americans can't wait that long, so they decided to modify one for trial first."

"This is not good news. If the Yankees really do this, they will find that their own catapults are like shit, and their Ford-class aircraft carriers will have to replace them with conventional steam catapults."

Qin Tao knows very well how immature the Ford class is. The Ford is still in the construction stage and there is still time to modify it. If the Yankees modify the electromagnetic catapult on the Kennedy and find it inappropriate, then the old What if I just go back and use the steam catapult?

"Probably not, after all, the Americans want to compete with us." Xu Zhengyang said.

Qin Tao thought for a while and then nodded: "Yes, you are right. The Americans want to benchmark us, so why would they give up electromagnetic catapults? Otherwise, how could they still claim that they are the best in the world? Let the Americans test it. The test is difficult and the Ford cannot continue to be built. By then, their aircraft carrier industry will stagnate. "

"Well, speaking of catapults, there's one more thing. Ah San and the British parted ways."

Part ways?

Qin Tao was curious: "Aren't they good enough to wear a pair of pants? Why did they suddenly separate again?"

"I heard that Ah San was excluded from entering the core research and development institution."

"Oh, Ah San shouldn't be excluded, but the British don't have a core R\u0026D institution at all." Qin Tao analyzed: "So, the British can't show it to them even if they want to."

The United States has not successfully developed anything, so how can the United Kingdom have it? The British do not have it, and Ah San still wants it?

"Poor Ah San, they were tricked into a gantry crane and then found out that there was no electromagnetic catapult. What should they do?" Qin Tao sympathized: "I think at this time, someone should extend a hand of friendship!"

Asan.

"Damn British, so abominable!"

"Yes, we invested a lot of money, and we were not allowed to participate in anything. We even bought a second-hand gantry crane at a high price in order to compromise!"

Ah San has become a typical representative of stupid people with too much money! Thinking about the recent insults, they were all very angry.

"I heard that the United States has encountered many problems in the development of electromagnetic catapults. It seems that the British do not have this technology. We are looking for them in the wrong place!"

"So what, if you don't look for them, who else can you look for? France? The French catapults are bought from the United States, and they are steam catapults!"

Alex frowned and remained silent. As an aircraft carrier expert, he had been hit hard recently. Almost all the projects he was responsible for ended in failure!

What to do next?

"We can no longer rely on the British. We have to rely on ourselves to develop catapults." Sunil said: "If we develop it ourselves, how long will it take?"

What a joke, they don’t have the ability to develop it themselves! As long as there is a little bit of hope, they will not go to the British for cooperation. They will conduct research on their own, so that they can get the funds into their own pockets.

The Army has Arjun, the Air Force has LCA, and the Navy has self-made warships and even aircraft carriers. If they can do it, they must do it themselves. They simply can't do this electromagnetic catapult.

"Alex, is there anything you can do?" Seeing no one answered, Sunil asked Alex.

Alex shook his head: "I'm sorry, I tried my best."

"In other words, it is impossible for us to build a catapult at all? Our existing aircraft carriers can be used, but what about our 80,000-ton aircraft carrier? What should we do about this?" Sunil was angry.

"Sir Sunil, what do you think if we use steam catapults?"

The technical difficulty of the electromagnetic catapult is too high, and they do not have the ability to do so, but the difficulty of the steam catapult is still not low!

The principle of the steam catapult is simple, but it is a great test of a country's industrial foundation. Without a strong industry, the pipes, seals, and even high-pressure steam storage tanks required for the steam catapult cannot be built.

"Can we build that?"

"We can't build it, but we can buy it."

Sunil was angry inside. The steam catapult was like an ancient steam train that should have entered the grave long ago! Modern high-speed railways are what they are pursuing, but now, they can only return to the steam train era.

How can we compare with Dongfang then?

"Our aircraft carrier plans to use nuclear power, so that there will be enough steam for use. We already have perfect arresting cable technology, and there is no need to change it. We can achieve complete capabilities at the minimum cost, whether it is electromagnetic ejection It’s still steam ejection, as long as it can get the plane into the sky.”

Alex is trying to convince Sunil.

Sunil sighed: "Okay, but where should we buy it from? The United States? The Americans will cheat us, just like they cheated the French."

"In fact, it's not expensive. The steam catapults bought by the French only cost 12 million each. If we buy them at the same price..."

"You have to calculate the time. When did the French buy it? When is it now? The inflation in the past few years must be taken into account. Moreover, what is the relationship between France and the United States, and what is our relationship? Even if they ask us for five Tens of millions of dollars a piece is possible.”

Alex fell silent.

Boom!

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a person hurriedly came over: "Everyone, I just received news that the Bolshoi Tomsk State University is researching electromagnetic catapults, and a scale model has been built!"

"How could Da Mao be created? The United States has not yet created it." Everyone immediately expressed doubts.

"Yes, Da Mao is said to be impossible to build, but we know that Da Mao has a very good relationship with Dongfang, and Da Mao has always wanted to develop electromagnetic catapults and install them on aircraft carriers and amphibious ships."

The Mao Navy is recovering. A large number of cruisers have regained their combat effectiveness, the aircraft carrier has also been repaired, and there are two newly built amphibious assault ships.

In order to make the navy stronger, Da Mao has been trying to add electromagnetic catapults to amphibious ships and aircraft carriers, but nothing has been done. Everyone knows that Da Mao does not have this ability.

However, if Dongfang secretly provides technology...

"How could the Orientals give technology to Da Mao?"

"This should be the close relationship between President Qin of the East and His Excellency Nicholas of the Mao Navy. On the surface, Dongfang cannot export the electromagnetic catapult technology because it is too advanced, but His Excellency Nicholas secretly worked it out by relying on his personal relationship with President Qin. It’s normal to get some.”

"Okay, in that case, let's send someone to talk to Damao to see if their technology is real."

"good."

Dongfang, Mingzhou Group.

"Mr. Qin, Ah San has taken the bait and sent people to Damao to negotiate."

"Okay, we finally gave Ah San another warmth. They should feel that the world is full of love."

"Ahem, Mr. Qin, this time we not only attracted the Indians, but also the Americans."

"Americans?"

"Yes, we suddenly discovered that over the years, Russia has been infiltrated like a sieve. The electromagnetic catapult technical information we gave Russia has just appeared in Nikola's office and has been known by the Americans."

"Yes, Russia has indeed been infiltrated like a sieve. It is also very important to take advantage of this opportunity to let Nikola find out the people around him who have been bribed. We did this by accident."

Qin Tao doesn't care about other things, but Nikola is related to him, and he must not let the people around Nikola steal his secrets.
