"Dragged back!" the crowd burst into flames. In addition to themselves, everyone present began to discuss, and then asked Deputy Director Song about the specific situation. For a while, Deputy Director Song and Minister Huang were in a hurry. Finally, Deputy Director Song shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet, listen to me first." ”

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Deputy Director Song breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at everyone and said: "Everyone asked too many questions, and it was too troublesome and too wasteful to answer them one by one, so I hit the first to introduce to you the specific situation of this 'Melbourne' aircraft carrier." Then you ask questions, and I'll answer them. ”

Hearing this, everyone was very quiet, and then stared at Deputy Director Song, for fear of missing any details. Deputy Director Song took out a copy of the text, and then said while looking at it: "This 'Melbourne' aircraft carrier is 211.2 meters long, 24.8 meters wide, has a displacement of 15,000 tons, a full load of 20,500 tons, and a draft of 7.2 meters. The first was the British Navy's 'Honorable', with the port number R77, which belonged to the Giant-class escort aircraft carrier designed by the United Kingdom in World War II. Because it didn't catch up with World War II. Therefore, after the war, because the British economy could not afford the huge military expenditure, it greatly reduced its naval strength, and only retained the aircraft carrier with large tonnage, good ship condition and great room for improvement.

So the United Kingdom sold the Noble Ship, which was unpopular in China, to Australia for 10 pounds, and renamed it "Melbourne", and the ship number became R21, becoming the flagship of the Australian fleet. Subsequently, Australia spent a lot of money to add steam catapults, modify the inclined runway, and other advanced equipment to the "Melbourne" aircraft carrier. The ship has since been in service with the Australian Navy.

But this ship was always unlucky, and it always collided with other ships at sea. So far, there have been seven or eight collisions with hundreds of casualties. So for this warship that often causes trouble, Australia has been very helpless for a long time. In the end, I had to choose to retire it. In the end, because it did not want to pay high dismantling costs, the Australian Navy put some key electronic equipment on board. For example, all the advanced equipment on this ship, such as weapons, electronics, power, etc., is now only the hull. Last year, a shipbreaking company in our country photographed the hull, and now this ship is being towed at sea, and in a few days, it will not be a few days ◎ ∝ dǐng ◎ ∝ diǎn ◎ ∝ small ◎ ∝ said, .2←3.≯os_(); , the ship will arrive in Yangcheng. ”

"The hull will do the same. As long as it's in good condition, we can repair it and refit it, and soon we will have an aircraft carrier of our own. A naval expert excited.

"Yes. An expert next to him also excitedly said: "We have been looking forward to this aircraft carrier for so many years, this is simply a dream come true, hahaha." ”

、、、、、、

Looking at everyone's excited expressions, Deputy Director Song stopped everyone and said, "I'm afraid this won't work for the time being." At that time, when the hull was photographed, Australia and the United States were afraid that we would use it for military purposes, so the famous ship was not allowed to be used for military purposes on the contract. It must be completely dismantled in accordance with the contract. ”

"What, how could you sign such a contract. As soon as the word was spoken, the experts became excited, and then Deputy Director Song said. And the more he talked, the more excited he became, and the spitting stars were something that Deputy Director Song could bear. Seeing that everyone was angry, it was almost over. Minister Huang stopped everyone, and then said with a smile: "This contract was not signed by us, but by a local shipbreaking company." We know the time. This contract has already been signed. However, we are now making efforts to see if we can keep the ship from the shipbreaking company. As for the retrofitting in the future. Let's do research, we'll talk about that later. Now we invite you to come here to discuss and see what other use value this aircraft carrier has. And we're not very sure that we'll be able to keep this aircraft carrier, so I'd like to ask you to go up to this aircraft carrier for relevant inspections before it is dismantled. Research and see what other technology or equipment can be used for our research. ”

"I'm still building yì, and we're going to find a way to keep this ship. Our navy is really lacking in large ships, especially aircraft carriers. A naval expert took the lead.

After listening to this expert's words, another expert shook his head and said, "Now that the contract has been signed, I think the possibility of us staying is estimated to be very low." And this hull also needs a lot of money. Not to mention whether our navy has so much money, even if it is, we should not use our precious military funds to buy such a useless iron lump. And this is an aircraft carrier, which we have not touched before. I think we're too presumptuous. We have to take a step by step, and our ships must also develop step by step, and the current ships of our navy of more than 1,000 tons have not yet been played, and they have jumped to tens of thousands of tons all at once, which I think is too risky. It's better to develop a practical ship. ”

"What hasn't been touched, haven't we been in contact with the atomic bomb before, haven't we come up with it yet, isn't this risky?" another expert immediately retorted.

"You're using strong words. A fourth expert criticized: "Can these two be the same? How much we have suffered in presumptuosity, you don't know how dare you make such a mistake now." You don't know about our domestic shipbuilding capabilities. Moreover, building a warship is much more difficult than building a merchant ship. If you look at our warships, there are not a few of them of one or two thousand tons, and you are thinking about building tens of thousands of tons, is this possible? ”

"How is it impossible, we are transforming and not directly building. Another expert retorted.

"Is there a difference?" the fourth expert asked, "The transformation of a warship must be a very complex project, and we must fully understand and immediately understand the structure and technology of the warship. As far as we are concerned, do you think we have the conditions and technical capabilities to do so? Besides, does an aircraft carrier fight alone? It must be equipped with corresponding escort ships to form an aircraft carrier formation. Do you think that our current capabilities can equip him with this aircraft carrier escort ship? And an aircraft carrier formation must have corresponding carrier-based aircraft, do you think we have it now?"

Seeing that the quarrel between the experts was getting more and more intense, Jiang Chen, who had been sitting relatively calmly in the corner, suddenly stood up and shouted at the arguing crowd: "That, can I interject two sentences." ”

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone stopped, and then looked at Jiang Chen, who was unusually young in the conference room. Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you." I would say that there is no point in arguing about these now. I think we should go and inspect the ship first, and then we will make a decision based on the actual situation, what do you think?"
