Chapter 1271: Reckless actions will cost you blood
East.
"We can't hide the fact that we are starting to build the second batch of 003 aircraft carriers from the Americans. They will find out soon." Wu Shengli looked at his son-in-law: "Taozi, what do you think?"
"Of course we can't hide it. When they ask, we openly admit that even though we made it, what can they do to us? They can make it if they can." Qin Tao said: "They have no right to do anything to us.
Pointing fingers."
"This is the plan we came up with. Don't you have a better plan?"
"What other plan can there be?" Qin Tao glanced at his father-in-law: "It would be good if it was made public, so that the Americans could learn from us and build their own things. Didn't they use Star Wars to bring down the old man?
Now, we can use the same means to bring them down."
Wu Shengli's eyes lit up: "Go on!"
In fact, this is just a replica of Star Wars, but from space to ocean.
How much does it cost for the Yankees to build an aircraft carrier? Twenty billion U.S. dollars! What about us? We only need 20 billion yuan! Just calculate the exchange rate and you will know that for the money the Yankees spend to build an aircraft carrier, we can build an entire fleet!
"In order to avoid giving people any clues, we can tell it through the grapevine, and Zhang Zhong can also publicize it, but we can only say how much we need, definitely not how much we want to build..."
Zhang Zhong, who had not had any new content for a long time, became excited again.
"Hello everyone in front of the TV, today's program is called Zhang Zhongchang Thinks About the Future. Let's imagine how far the navy will develop. Let's start with aircraft carriers. I think our navy must at least have
Eight or more aircraft carriers are enough!”
Eight ships!
Everyone watching the show became excited. Although they are just imagining it now, today's hope may be realized tomorrow?
"Our navy has three major fleets. Each fleet needs two aircraft carriers so that they can be rotated. When one of them is being repaired, the other one can be put into battle at any time. This will require six ships. However, we still have maritime
Rights and interests need to be maintained, so we need to have two aircraft carriers and two mobile fleets, one in the Pacific and one in the Indian Ocean, so that we can respond to emergencies at any time."
"Damn it, what are these Easterners thinking? The ocean here belongs to us!"
Before the Americans were anxious, Ah San became anxious first. Seeing Zhang Zhong talking nonsense, Ah San's eyes were full of angry flames.
"How's the progress on our aircraft carrier?"
"The track reinforcement work will be completed soon, and we can continue to move the Super Sun King segments."
"The faster, the better. We need this aircraft carrier to roam the ocean. This time the elevator has been changed, and we can also operate Rafale fighter jets. This is the most advanced fighter jet in the world, a hundred times better than Eastern carrier-based aircraft!"
At this time, on the TV, Zhang Zhong continued to think.
"Eight aircraft carriers need to form eight aircraft carrier formations. The main escort warship must be the 10,000-ton large-scale destroyer 055. Each formation needs two 055s, so we need sixteen 055 destroyers, so that we can effectively protect them.
The safety of the aircraft carrier. As for the 052DL destroyers, each formation requires four, which is thirty-two 052s. As for the 054, I won’t talk about this, after all, everyone knows it.”
What do you know?"
The 054 is already a thing of the past and is no longer popular. Even as the main warship of the navy, the frigate is no longer on the table. You must know that the displacement of the 054 is larger than the original 051 destroyer and its combat effectiveness is stronger. But now, it has been reduced to
A second-rate force!
"In addition to eight aircraft carrier battle groups, we also need amphibious assault ship battle groups. Our navy already has two 075s, but they are not enough. We need at least four 076s..."
Across the ocean, countless people were watching Zhang Zhong's performance.
"Does this Zhang Zhong represent his personal opinions, or is he expounding their development direction on behalf of the Eastern Navy?" Austin asked.
"I don't know, but what we can be sure of is that many of what Zhang Zhong said have profound meanings. Since he said this, it is likely that he received instructions from above."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's take this opportunity to ask Congress for money! The Eastern Navy is gradually growing in size. Our navy is afraid that it will completely fall behind. How can we maintain maritime hegemony in the future?"
"Yes, we demand an increase in the budget, at least a thirty percent increase, no, a fifty percent increase!"
Because of Zhang Zhong's words, the U.S. Navy took a beating and began to fight with Congress.
As for Ah San, he was even more energetic.
"Has the railway foundation been reinforced? We need to completely repair the Blue Sky Guardian within this month! When this aircraft carrier is completed, we will immediately start building the second one!"
Alex felt his body tremble when he heard Sunil's words. What did you say?
To be completed within this month? It is good enough to be completed within one year this year. Sea trials and other things must follow the formal process. As for the second ship? There is no chance of it.
There is no catapult, no nuclear reactor, and the dock has not been repaired...
Alex swallowed: "The foundation has been reinforced. We can continue to transfer the sections. This needs to be done as quickly as possible to avoid accidents."
"As long as it is safe, the sooner the better, let's get started!"
The 10,000-ton gantry crane was started again, and the sections of the Super Sun King were slowly lifted up again. The rails on one side of the gantry crane were slowly sinking. However, because the rails were laid underneath, not much sank. It was completely possible.
within the acceptable range.
"Okay, great, now lift up the gantry!"
The gantry crane moved slowly, at the same speed as a snail, and the huge sections hanging below also moved together, moving little by little.
"Can it be faster?" Sunil, who came to supervise the work in person, frowned. This speed is too slow. How can it reflect the speed of our Ah San?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, the beach soil is soft, we must ensure safety."
"All right."
The gantry crane moved little by little, and finally left the beach three hours later.
"Can it be faster now?"
"No, it's starting to turn in front. When turning, you have to slow down. An accident may happen at any time."
"All right."
This time I walked even slower, and it took another two hours to pass a curve.
"What's next? You will definitely say that you need to slow down, otherwise accidents may happen at any time, right?"
"This... we can speed up a little bit."
Alex knew that Sunil was always on the verge of irritability. If he continued to reject Sunil, Sunil might lose control. The next section could be speeded up a little.
Of course, it’s limited to this paragraph.
As a result, the gantry crane moved slightly faster for half an hour and then slowed down again.
When the sun sets over the western mountains, the gantry crane is still two kilometers away from the dock.
"I think we should put down the sections and wait until dawn tomorrow before moving." Alex said: "Sir Sunil, please go back and come back tomorrow."
"No, we don't have time to wait! The Orientals already have three aircraft carriers and they are still building them. We only have this one, and we are working slowly and overnight. It will be hoisted tonight and we will start welding tomorrow!"
"Working at night is dangerous."
"You've been talking about dangers for a whole day, has there been any danger?"
"Okay, let's continue our work."
Countless Asan workers stepped on the ground with bare feet and walked slowly with the gantry crane. When the night completely darkened, only the lights were left to illuminate them.
It has to be said that Ah San really showed his potential under pressure and passed the second corner perfectly. There was already a dock in front of him!
"Great, keep going, speed up!" Sunil said: "I want to see this section put down and connected with our other sections!"
Time passed little by little, and finally, the sections of the Super Sun King had approached the dock!
"Attention, increase the height!"
In order to allow this section to enter the dock, the height must be raised.
Boom boom…
At this moment, a frightening voice sounded.
Several people raised their heads and looked at the place where the sound came from. Under the light, a rope was flying.
"The ring is broken!" someone shouted loudly.
This section is made by welding a large number of lifting rings on both sides, tying steel wire ropes, and then hoisting the section. With so many devices, they are densely packed like a spider web. It is said that even if one of them is broken, it will not be a big deal.
However, it would be troublesome if there was a chain reaction, and now, it is a chain reaction!
When one breaks, the other rings can withstand more force, so a few more rings can no longer hold their strength and continue to break. Then, more rings break, and some steel wires begin to break...
"Quick, lower the altitude immediately!" Alex's voice was filled with panic.
This damn lifting ring has been breaking early and late, but it just broke at this time! I just came all the way, and the height of the hanging ring is no more than one meter. Even if a few lifting rings are broken, you can still fall to the ground smoothly, but now, in order to be able to hoist it in
Inside the dock, the lifting height has exceeded five meters. How could it be so easy to land?
The crane's hydraulic motor sounded, and the hook began to lower, but it was useless. The section hanging below suddenly flipped over and fell upside down, and the 10,000-ton gantry crane also moved sideways because of the impact.
Tilted over.
Boom!
The segments fell first, collapsing the dock, and then rolled into the dock, making another sound of metal collision.
It's over, the segments inside have also been smashed, now, this aircraft carrier is completely finished!
No, this is not the worst!
At this time, the gantry crane was turning over, and the direction of turning was still the direction where Alex and others were!
"Quick, run!" Sunil's men had quick eyesight and quick hands. They pulled Sunil and wanted to run, but they didn't have any experience.
Loggers are the most experienced. Don't run in a hurry. Look up at the top of the tree and you will know which direction the tree is going to fall, and then run in a safe direction.
But Sunil's men didn't know. They just wanted to protect Sunil and escape, but they didn't know which direction was the safest.
"Don't run that way, it's dangerous!" Alex shouted loudly, trying to reach Sunil, but it was too late.
A huge black shadow appeared from the darkness, Sunil and his men were shrouded in the shadow, and desperate voices sounded.
Boom!
The gantry crane came down, dust flew on the ground, and something flew up and hit Alex hard on the back of the head. He rolled his eyes and didn't know anything.
The next day, the shocking news spread around the world.
When Ah San was using a gantry crane to transport sections of the Super Sun King, an accident occurred. The sections of the Super Sun King fell down, collapsing the dock, damaging the rear section of the Blue Sky Guardian, the gas turbine inside, etc.
scrapped.
The entire production accident caused the death of more than a hundred people, including Alex, Asan’s aircraft carrier expert, and Sunil, who had been leading the development of Asan’s naval equipment. They suffered heavy losses!
The Cochin Shipyard was in a mess. The reporters who came after hearing the news were not able to enter it. They could only observe the miserable situation from the outside, and then came to the conclusion: within five years, Asan will not be able to build an aircraft carrier!
The dock is gone, the gantry crane is gone, the aircraft carrier experts are gone, Ah San suffered heavy losses this time!
At the same time, the analysis of the accident began in an orderly manner. Many people analyzed the cause of the accident in a serious manner to attract attention. The enthusiasm for the development of the navy that Zhang Zhong said before disappeared in an instant.
"Gantry cranes are used in conjunction with shipyards. No shipyard in the world allows gantry cranes to move several kilometers to transport equipment, and it is still a large piece of more than 10,000 tons. The risks encountered in the process will be great, even if a gust of cross wind blows.
If it comes, it may cause an accident."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is completely an amateur operation. Facts have proved that being reckless will cost you blood!"
"I hope Ah San can learn a lesson this time and be down-to-earth in the future. Looking back on Ah San's journey as an aircraft carrier in the past few years, we can find that impetuousness is their biggest problem..."
East.
Qin Tao looked at these analyzes with a smile on his face.
"It's tragic, it's really tragic. So many people died, even the aircraft carrier experts died." Qin Tao's words did not mean the slightest bit of tragedy.
"Most of them are fair and objective, but there are also a few who point the finger at Zhenhua Heavy Industries, believing that the accident was caused by problems with the gantry crane," Xu Zhengyang said.
"This must be what the experts from Asan said. They want to throw dirty water on our Zhenhua Heavy Industry, but they will not succeed." Qin Tao said: "We will then announce our gantry crane project to the outside world and let them
Know our strength."
"Okay, I'll notify Zhenhua Heavy Industry."
In fact, even if Asan throws dirty water, Zhenhua Heavy Industries will not care. After all, Zhenhua Heavy Industries does not have any industry in Asan.
In fact, most enterprises in the East have no cooperation with Ah San. Even if they do, it is only one hand to pay and the other hand to deliver. It is absolutely impossible for Ah San to use tricks.
Soon, Zhenhua Heavy Industries officially announced the news.
"In order to further meet the development of our domestic shipbuilding industry, we are about to build a gantry crane with a maximum lifting capacity of more than 25,000 tons for a domestic unit. This will be the largest gantry crane in the world and is the latest technology from our ZPMC."
reflect!"
The 25,000-ton gantry crane broke the world record again!
When the news was announced, the whole world was sour.
"They must use this gantry crane to build an aircraft carrier."
"Yes, with this level of gantry crane, the docking of the aircraft carrier can be completed in two stages. They plan to continue to build aircraft carriers, and to build aircraft carriers quickly! In the future, we may see Oriental aircraft carriers
One ship after another is launched!”
"Yes, we must increase military spending, otherwise we will fall behind!"
As these external pressures continue to increase, the new round of U.S. naval appropriation budget has finally increased a lot. The U.S. Navy is happy, and the U.S. shipyards are happy. As for the extra money, at most they can just issue government bonds. Anyway, the U.S. Navy is happy.
Don’t worry about selling your debt.
On the other side, the Ah Sans looked at the mess at the Cochin Shipyard with mixed emotions.
"Within ten years, we may not be able to build the next aircraft carrier." Kumar, who took over from Sunil, came to the Cochin Shipyard for an inspection and heard the report of the person in charge, Atul.
"Why?"
"First of all, the dock here is abandoned. We need to rebuild the dock, which will cost a lot of money and time. We estimate that it will take at least five years to build the dock."
"Even if this is the case, we can start building aircraft carriers in five years!"
"We still need gantry cranes. It is difficult for us to purchase large gantry cranes. At present, the largest gantry crane produced in the West is only two thousand tons. We cannot build large sections and can only use traditional tower construction methods. It is expected that in the shipyard
It will take more than five years. And, most importantly, our aircraft carrier experts..."
Shipbuilding requires not only equipment, but also people! The collapse of the gantry crane destroyed the aircraft carrier segment and killed many people. Alex was just one of the people who died, and many experts also died.
died!
They no longer have aircraft carrier experts themselves. If they want a new aircraft carrier, they can only hire foreign experts. However, facts have proven that foreign experts are unreliable.
"If we don't have experts, we can hire experts. If we don't have large gantry cranes, we will buy small ones. In short, we must continue to develop aircraft carriers. We cannot be constrained to land!" Kumar said with a face full of reluctance: "Also, should we?
Can’t we make our own gantry crane? This kind of key equipment must not be controlled by others!”
Can Asan build his own gantry crane?
Artur didn't answer, what a joke! How can they, Ah San, have this ability? Americans don't have the ability to build gantry cranes, so they all purchase them from the East!
"Oriental makes a 25,000-ton gantry crane, so let's build a 30,000-ton gantry crane! We Asan are rich, and as long as we work hard, we will definitely gain something!" Kumar said with high spirits.
When he heard that he had money, Atul suddenly reacted: "If the higher authorities are willing to allocate funds, then our Cochin Shipyard is willing to develop advanced gantry cranes, and we Asan will also become a big country in manufacturing gantry cranes!"
No matter whether it can be built in the end, we need to get the funds first!
