Zhang Yunfei was slightly excited. Looking at the cheering crowd around him, Zhang Yunfei also clenched his fists and waved hard in the air.

In addition to excitement and joy, the head of the Nep Nur base and Oppenheimer, the general manager of the atomic bomb project, walked over together, and the joy of success on their faces had not yet faded.

The head of the Nep Nur base stood attentively, saluted, and said respectfully: "Chief! Fortunately, we have not been humiliated, and the atomic bomb test was very successful."

Zhang Yunfei's face was also obviously joyful, nodded and said loudly: "Thank you all for your hard work. What is successful belongs to you and the country. I will personally issue a commendation order to reward you for your merits."

"Yes! Thank you, Chief!"

Oppenheimer next to him was also full of joy, and even a little noticeable flush on his face. Oppenheimer's mood was written all on his face.

Seeing Oppenheimer, Zhang Yunfei took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.

Oppenheimer quickly took two steps forward and held Zhang Yunfei's right hand tightly. Zhang Yunfei felt that Oppenheimer's hands were trembling slightly. At this moment, Zhang Yunfei could completely feel Oppenheimer's mood.

As a scientist, there is no more excitement and joy than the moment when I succeed, especially when I have been successful for many years of research.

Zhang Yunfei also held Oppenheimer's hands tightly, and Zhang Yunfei said in fluent English: "Mr. Oppenheimer, congratulations! You succeed!"

Oppenheimer's mouth opened several times, and finally spoke, "Dear Chairman Zhang. Thank you, the success of the atomic bomb is not my own credit, but the success of our entire team, and the great success in the history of science."

Zhang Yunfei and Oppenheimer chatted with him for a few words and said thankful to Oppenheimer. Zhang Yunfei just smiled slightly. Zhang Yunfei once again encouraged Oppenheimer to continue to study in-depth on the atomic bomb and achieve new success as soon as possible."

After the atomic bomb test was successfully tested, Zhang Yunfei stayed in Nep Nur for a few hours. He inspected the entire base again. Compared with the last time, the base had obvious changes and was more complete.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yunfei left by helicopter with satisfaction.

October 1st.

This day is the National Day of New China. But on this day, the first aircraft carrier produced by China itself was successfully completed and will be delivered to the Chinese Navy Pacific Fleet.

At present, the Chinese Navy Pacific Fleet is equipped with two aircraft carriers, that is, two aircraft carrier combat groups. For the vast Pacific Ocean, the number of two aircraft carriers is too small.

The Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet has equipped three aircraft carriers and has three aircraft carrier battle groups. In the Pacific Ocean, the Chinese Navy has a large number of giant harbors built by the Chinese Navy, such as Vladivostok, Malacca, Okinawa, etc. The Chinese Navy's Pacific Fleet has many harbors, but there are only two aircraft carrier battle groups.

In recent years, the domestic shipbuilding industry has developed rapidly, and has definitely reached the international first-class level, and the scale is still quite large. The shipbuilding industry has shown a trend of specialization.

With the rapid development of the domestic shipbuilding industry, the navy is equipped with more and more warships, equipped with a large number of new warships, such as the "Zhao Yun-class" missile destroyer. The Chinese Navy has equipped more than 30 ships. In addition, there are also many new missile frigates, new submarines, etc.

But these are far from enough. At present, what the Chinese Navy needs most is aircraft carriers, which are the core of the entire aircraft carrier battle group, and the rest of the ships exist around aircraft carriers.

Other ships in an aircraft carrier battle group exist to protect aircraft carriers. Although aircraft can do anything, they still need ship assistance. First, there must be destroyers for reconnaissance and anti-submarine, and then cruisers should have air defense, anti-stabilizing and anti-missile missiles. Submarines generally also have them to be used to be vigilant against underwater.

According to the mission needs, sometimes landing ships and amphibious assault ships are also available. Of course, the top priority is transport ships and tankers loading supplies and fuel. Sometimes, in order to tow the beaten ship back to repair and tug boats.

Even a smaller aircraft carrier battle group must have at least four to six missile destroyers, one supply ship, five to eight frigates, two, three submarines, etc.

In addition to aircraft carriers, with the rapid development of the domestic shipbuilding industry in recent years, there have been many destroyers, frigates, and submarines, not to mention, and even cruisers have produced several more, and these light cruisers with displacement of 7 or 8,000 tons are still being produced.

This kind of light cruiser is the largest tonnage warship in China except aircraft carriers. As for heavy cruisers and battleships, although it also has the ability to produce, Zhang Yunfei has never ordered production.

The future is no longer the era of giant ships and cannons, but the world of aircraft carrier battle groups. There is no need to produce heavy cruisers and battleships that consume a lot of resources.

Instead of producing these giant ships, it is better to produce more missile destroyers or frigates, or to concentrate resources to produce aircraft carriers.

China has long started producing aircraft carriers and has invested a lot of money. However, as a giant surface warship, the manpower and material resources consumed by aircraft carriers is huge, and the construction period is not comparable to those of missile frigates of one or two thousand tons, or missile destroyers of two or three thousand tons.

This large aircraft carrier, built at the Tianjin Shipyard, took nearly three years to complete, from 1942 to October now.

Tianjin Shipyards mainly produce two types of warships, one is an aircraft carrier, and the other is a transport ship. In recent years, the Tianjin Shipyard has produced dozens of large transport ships, but one aircraft carrier has only been completed.

The second aircraft carrier is only half completed. This aircraft carrier and the first aircraft carrier are of the same model, but construction was nearly a year later.

Today, Tianjin Shipyard is also very lively.

Not only did Comrade Liu Dazhu, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, come, but Zhang Yunfei will also attend the completion and delivery ceremony of the "Beiping" aircraft carrier.

This aircraft carrier has been named the "Beiping" aircraft carrier. China's first aircraft carrier developed and produced by itself can fully bear the title of "Beiping".

Comrade Liu Dazhu, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, arrived at the Tianjin Shipyard early. Originally, the completion and delivery ceremony was scheduled to be held at 11 a.m., but Comrade Liu Dazhu came over before 8 a.m. It can be seen how impatient Liu Dazhu was.

As the commander-in-chief of the navy, Liu Dazhu naturally knew the importance of aircraft carriers. Moreover, this is the first aircraft carrier developed and produced by China. The performance of aircraft carriers is much better than the five aircraft carriers currently equipped by the Chinese Navy.

At present, all aircraft carriers equipped with the Chinese Navy are transformed with Japanese aircraft carriers. Although the performance has been greatly improved after the transformation, especially after the "Sthorn" second missile, advanced radar, and a large number of Mustang carrier-based aircraft, the combat capabilities are no longer comparable. However, these aircraft carriers are obviously worse than the "Beiping".

The "Beiping" aircraft carrier, referred to as the "Beiping Ship" for short, has a hull number of 001. It is the first aircraft carrier equipped by the Chinese Navy to produce itself.

The "Beiping Ship" is a medium-sized conventional-powered aircraft carrier with a normal displacement of 45,000 tons. Four steam turbines and four steam boilers are powered by 4 axles, 4 paddles and double rudders. The bow uses a ski jump takeoff deck, and there are 4 aircraft landing blocking cables and 1 emergency blocking network in the middle of the ship. The bridge island building is located on the right side of the flight deck, and there is a deck/hangar lift in front and rear.

There are 8,090 standard carrier-based aircraft and 3,400 crew members. In addition to two 155mm main guns and 12 30mm anti-aircraft guns, the main weapons are also equipped with 8 "Steptune" Type 2 missile launch devices and 6 latest surface-to-air missiles from the China Missile Research Institute.

Currently, in addition to the Sprig series missiles, several other series of missiles have appeared, including surface-to-surface missiles and air-to-air missiles, but also surface-to-air missiles.

Comrade Liu Dazhu, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, arrived at the Tianjin Shipyard early in the morning. First, he boarded the completed "Beiping Ship" with great enthusiasm. He took a quick look at it and read it roughly. It took a lot of time. It was almost 11 o'clock now.

At the dock, all preparations were made, and the ceremony could begin just by waiting for Zhang Yunfei to arrive.

As soon as Liu Dazhu walked off the "Beiping Ship", he heard the staff around him whispering: "Chief! Chairman Zhang is here."

Sure enough, a loud voice sounded, "Standing attentive!!!"

On the dock, on the "Beiping Ship" close to the dock, the officers and soldiers stood at the sight of Zhang Yun flying over in the distance. Even the people from the Tianjin Shipyard were standing straight, unable to hide their excitement, and looked at the distance without blinking.

In the distance, hundreds of meters away from the pier, a convoy of three and four small cars was slowly coming. This was Zhang Yunfei's convoy.

In the car Zhang Yunfei was riding, through the window, he watched the colorful flags fluttering on the spacious pier. A large number of people stood straight and looked at him in unison.

The convoy stopped at the dock, and a guard soldier opened the door for Zhang Yunfei. The moment Zhang Yunfei walked out of the car, there was a quiet surroundings, with only a loud shout full of energy.

"salute!!!"

With a blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers around him saluted neatly, and the staff at the dock and the staff from the Tianjin Shipyard also saluted solemn military salutes.

Zhang Yunfei returned the gift and said loudly: "Hello comrades! Thank you comrades for your hard work!"

"Hello, Chief!!!"

Around, there were thunderous shouts.

Comrade Liu Dazhu, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, walked over quickly with a happy expression, saluted a military salute alone, and said excitedly: "Hello, the old leader! Hello!"

Zhang Yunfei took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, and Liu Dazhu quickly reached out and held it. The two of them exchanged greetings. Liu Dazhu was Zhang Yunfei's old subordinate. If it weren't for such a formal occasion, he would be far from being so formal and restrained.
