Chapter 403: American's Ford-class second-class nuclear-powered mothership

The technical problems and R&D expenses in this can be huge. You must know that at the beginning, Americans threw a lot of money into it......

"Mr. Ma Wei, if we want to develop an aircraft carrier of the same level as you said, we are not sure of the exact amount. But one thing that can be known is that I am afraid that the $1 billion fund is not enough to develop it. The Ukrainian scientist present, after careful consideration, answered Mavi's question.

They don't know exactly how much it will cost, only that it's not a small amount.

"Is $1 billion not enough? What about $2 billion? I need a number. Ma Wei said lightly in public. He is an arms dealer, not responsible for solving scientific problems, only for throwing money. Otherwise, why would it take so much effort to invite so many scientists to come over?

As soon as Ma Wei's words fell, he saw the 28 nautical scientists sitting in front of him, and they were shocked by his simple and rude solution. $1 billion is not enough, then 2 billion, without even the slightest hesitation. It takes a wealthy person to make this decision......

"$2 billion, Mr. Mavey, we think it's almost enough. As for the R&D time, it is initially expected to be about 4 years?", replied the Ukrainian scientist, who estimated.

They have been dealing with the government for so many years, and they have never seen a powerful person who talks about investing in research and development. I don't even look at money as money, as long as the result.

"Four years is too long, and the United States successfully developed and officially commissioned aircraft carriers with this kind of data as early as 1961. I'm only going to give you two years. By the way, I'm afraid you don't know yet. The United States is currently planning to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the 2nd class. ”

"It has a full load displacement of 112,000 tons, a length of 338 meters, a width of 41 meters, and can carry 85 fixed-wing aircraft! Ma Wei said loudly on the spot. He had to put a little pressure on the scientists.

Kitty Hawk class aircraft carriers, a product of 40 years ago. In 2005, the United States officially began to build the "Ford" class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. When it is officially commissioned, it will be the most powerful aircraft carrier in the world, and there is no one. As a result, the gap in strength between the US and Russian navies has widened......

After listening to Ma Wei's powerful information, the 28 nautical scientists present showed surprised looks.

"What? The U.S. Navy is already working on a Tier 2 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?"

"112,000 tons of full load displacement, 15,000 tons more than the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. ”

"By the time we develop a mothership that rivals the Kitty Hawk class aircraft carrier, the latest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy, we will be 45 years ahead of us..."

……

Feeling the gap between the two sides, this made the scientists present really feel that time was pressing.

"Mr. Ma Wei, in two years, let's do our best!" Scientists, this is forced by Ma Wei to Liangshan. But not with the kind of Bi method that wants to die or live. To put it simply, it is to put pressure and stimulate them, so that they will stop giving up a bunch of reasons and always retreat.

"Okay, whatever is needed, just ask, whether it's money or resources, we'll do our best to provide it. That's what Ma Wei wanted. The development of aircraft carriers is not only an arms business, but also a manifestation of Russia's strength and glory.

……

After talking with scientists from both countries, Mavi also left St. Petersburg and returned to Moscow. The rest is left to scientists and the Russian Navy. He just has to wait for the final result.

Sitting on the plane back to Moscow, Mavi felt that time was really flying. Fast forward to December 26, 2002. We are about to enter 2003.

In the past year, Ma Wei has made a lot of deeds. The most important thing was the creation of the smartphone, which ushered in a new digital era.

At the end of the year, if you want to say the hottest thing in the circle of friends, it is the annual bill!

With the rising popularity and credibility of Alipay, the online shopping consumption model continues to improve. More and more consumers in China have accepted the online shopping model and choose to shop on the Alibaba platform. Including credit card swiping, card repayment, electricity bill payment, gas bill payment, etc., can be carried out through Alipay.

Therefore, posting Alipay's annual bills has become a major way for many people to pretend to be forced and show their sense of superiority.

"Eh! I accidentally spent another 1.6 million this year, it seems that I can't be so willful next year! It attracted many likes and comments from friends.

Some of his rich second-generation friends, after seeing the sharing, also logged in to their Alipay accounts one after another, and posted this year's annual bills to the circle of friends.

"2.3 million consumption, only 89.93% of the country's users, ranking 14,310th in the country. It seems that the level of domestic consumption is getting better and better! Last year, I spent 1.45 million yuan, and I was able to squeeze into the top 4,000 in the country. A Bai Fumei pretended to complain in the circle of friends, but in fact, she said with a sense of existence.

Originally, she was looking forward to this year's ranking. I thought that I spent an extra 850,000 yuan, and I should be able to squeeze into the top 2,000. But what I didn't expect was that it fell to 10,000 outside. This shows that the online shopping model has been accepted by more and more wealthy people in China.

At this time, the top 100 local tyrants in domestic consumption last year received the most attention. There are always friends who will come to ask what their ranking is this year. Whether it has risen or fallen, how much money can be consumed.

In this way, you can know how much money the top billionaires in China spent on Alipay in 2002. By the way, you can also know the gap between yourself and the first echelon......

"Ma Wei, this year's Alipay bill, are you the first in the country again? How much have you consumed, share it and take a look! In the WeChat group of domestic friends, many people @Mawei want to know how much he has consumed this year, ranking first in the country.

At this time, Ma Wei was resting on the plane, he didn't see the message, and his mobile phone was also set to silent mode. Private jets, which are equipped with WiFi, do not need to turn off electronic communication equipment like civil aircraft to prevent signal interference. So it's no problem to surf the Internet on your phone, play games or something.

Seeing that someone seemed to be busy and didn't reply, some friends in the WeChat group were not idle and took screenshots of their friends' bills to the group. By the way, let's analyze and see how much the consumption level of the first echelon in China has increased this year compared with last year.
