I have to say that Manny is a good talker, and Xiao Peng is not boring to chat with him. In particular, Xiao Peng found that he knew Asia very well, and he went to even more Asian countries than himself.

"Manny, how do you know so much about Asia?" Xiao Peng asked, puzzled.

Manny smiled: "Actually, I used to work in ship technology. Later, he engaged in the advertising industry. When I was in the shipping industry, I went to many countries in Asia. Huaxia, Waguo, Yinsan, etc. ”

Xiao Peng became interested: "How do you feel about going to these countries?"

Manny pondered: "In terms of shipbuilding alone, the Japanese are the strongest and have the best economy, but they are limited by their land area, so it is difficult for them to develop more. Although the gap between the rich and the poor in China and the natural environment are not as good as those of the Japanese country, considering the development potential, it will definitely be stronger in the future. ”

"What about Yin San?" Xiao Peng asked.

How do you know that Manny made a disgusted expression and didn't speak.

"Hey, Manny, what does that look mean? Xiao Peng asked.

Manny sighed and said, "Xiao, the reason why I left the shipbuilding industry to devote myself to advertising was because I went to India III to do a technical exchange event at the Chin Ko shipyard in Kerala, where I almost died. So from then on I never wanted to work in ship technology again. You know the Chinko shipyard, right?"

Xiao Peng frowned: "The Cochin shipyard in Kerala? Isn't that the place where the Indo-3 built aircraft carriers? That's the top big shipyard, right? The largest state-owned shipbuilding enterprise in the entire Indo-3, an old factory with 40 years of experience in shipbuilding and maintenance, and at the same time the only shipyard in the Indo-3 that can manufacture professional air defense destroyers, and also has rich experience in ship dismantling, and the 'Vikrant' aircraft carrier was dismantled there, right? That's the pride of the Indo-3 shipbuilding industry, isn't it?"

Manny shook his fingers: "'Big' and 'top' are two concepts, don't associate them together. Do you know why I almost died there?"

Xiao Peng asked, "Why?"

Manny shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There is a drilling ship under the Indo Oil and Gas Company, oh, it is a pontoon drilling platform, although it is a thirty-year-old ship, but it is also the top drilling ship of the Indosan." At that time, a total of two drillships and a jack-up drilling rig were being maintained at the Qinke shipyard. ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "Well, this is understandable, in recent years, the demand for marine engineering ships such as oil drilling platforms has indeed been stronger than that of bulk carriers and container ships. But what does it have to do with your life?"

"The ship exploded. Manny said lightly: "More than ten people died. ”

Xiao Peng was shocked when he heard this: "What? What is the reason for the explosion?"

Manny waved his hands: "Can you believe it? That ship has been under repair in that shipyard for a month! As a result, the cause of the explosion turned out to be a biogas explosion! There were still more than 200 tons of manure in the ship that had not been cleaned up! The final methane explosion caused by it! This is simply unreasonable!"

"I was at the scene of the explosion, five minutes ago, to be exact, I just left the ship! I thought it was strange at the time, and afterwards I made a special investigation into their best shipyard, but the feedback I got was shocked! Once, their Russian-made 'Kilo-class' submarine "BrahMos" secretly modified the missile control line here, and finally caused an explosion, resulting in the death of 18 people; later, when maintaining the frigate, 16 people died due to the unstable center of gravity, and later another warship overturned out of the dock, resulting in 24 deaths; Vikramaditya's fatal gas leak during repairs, and in short, working there is a matter of life!"

I applied to our head office for the transfer of Yin San, but our head office did not approve it, so I had no choice but to resign and devote myself to the advertising industry. This is something I would not have been able to achieve in shipbuilding!"

Xiao Peng smacked his tongue when he heard it, this India Three Kingdoms, alas, don't mention it. likes to fight with Huaxia for everything, and then there are all kinds of jokes. Especially in the military industry.

For example, their famous 'Arjun' main battle tank, which is modeled after the Russian-made T72 tank, took ten years to build a prototype from 1974 to 1984. It was not until 2004 that the first production "Arjun" tank was delivered to the army, and it took 30 years to develop! Because the craftsmanship of the T72 artillery copied by the Indian three was not up to standard, the phenomenon of blowing up the chamber became commonplace, and this is not the most awesome, the most awesome thing is that due to design flaws, if the tank gun is directly in front, the driver cannot get on and off the tank------ cockpit is under the barrel.

In other words, the driver of the 'Arjun' tank can be regarded as having lost eight lifetimes of blood mold, and he cannot stick out his head and open the window to drive like other tanks, because he will be killed by the rotating turret! Don't call it the 'Arjun' tank at all, just call it the 'suicide tank'! Moreover, the gun must be adjusted to a certain elevation angle when loading ammunition. It can be called a mudslide in the world tank industry。。。。。。

There is also their 'glorious record LCA', which is the living treasure of the living treasure, from the project in 1983, until the first prototype was launched in 2001, and only initially entered the army in December 2013, and it is still unable to be mass-produced to form combat effectiveness. Let's not talk about how poor the performance of this aircraft is, let's just say that their 'self-developed' aircraft's engine, flight control system, radar, composite materials, missiles, aiming pods, cockpit displays, etc., are all imported from different countries, and even the software field that the three people are best at, the source code of the aircraft's flight control system is written by the Eagle people, and the compatibility is a mess.

However, if you really want to talk about the three military industries of India, the most amazing thing is the HAL Indo-3Stan Airlines, as long as the company has repaired the planes, it is all kinds of scrambling to fall to the ground: from 92 to 2004, their company assembled two 'MiG-21' planes, overhauled eight of them, eight of them crashed, overhauled four 'Mirage 2000', all of them crashed, assembled three 'MiG-27' planes, overhauled three planes, four of which crashed, and overhauled three 'MiG-29' planes, all of which crashed. Of the 29 aircraft types crashed by the Indian Air Force in the past few years, 26 were manufactured, overhauled or upgraded by HAL. Thanks to them, from the independence of India and San to today, more than 1,000 planes have been destroyed!

It can be seen that they really believe in Einstein's theory ------ that 'what takes off from the ground will one day fall back to the ground.'" ’

Of course, the three Indian military industries are not so useless, and in one respect, what they have done is really very good! That is the technology for dismantling aircraft carriers! It is definitely the only one in the world.

As we all know, aircraft carriers are a symbol of naval strength, and many countries have vigorously built aircraft carriers, such as Eagle Country, Star Spangled Country, Polar Bear Country, Gallic State, and Japanese State.

But today, only the Stars and Stripes still have a large number of aircraft carriers, and the rest of the countries have few or no aircraft carriers.

The cost of maintaining aircraft carriers is really too high, and if a country's economy is insufficient, it will not be able to play at all! Just like the Eagle Country, in fact, the number of aircraft carriers in the Eagle Country was no less than that of the Stars and Stripes Country, but after the end of World War II, these aircraft carriers lost their role. It will only increase the financial burden.

It just so happened that so many colonies of the Eagle Kingdom were independent during that period, so the Eagle Kingdom simply sent aircraft carriers to these places, such as the old 'Vikrant' aircraft carrier in India San, which is actually the dignity-class aircraft carrier 'Hercules' of the Royal Navy of the Eagle Country. When they became independent, the Eagle Kingdom was half sold and half given to them.

However, the aircraft carrier is good, and there is another huge trouble: it is not easy to resettle after decommissioning. There is a famous port in the Stars and Stripes, in which more than a dozen decommissioned aircraft carriers are placed. Some people say that these aircraft carriers have been decommissioned and abandoned, so why didn't the Stars and Stripes dismantle them? Could it be that the militaristic heart is not dead?

In fact, this is not the case, dismantling aircraft carriers is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, especially nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Even the dismantling of a conventionally powered aircraft carrier takes about seven years! And the procedures for dismantling a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier are much more complicated than those of a conventionally powered aircraft carrier!

At that time, the Stars and Stripes dismantled the "Enterprise" nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and it took more than four years to dismantle the nuclear reactor alone, and the dismantling work began in 2013, until today, the "Enterprise" is still a very complete aircraft carrier image.

Moreover, the dismantling of the aircraft carrier must take into account the reuse of each part, and the parts on this aircraft carrier are not large-scale goods, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the price of a screw on our Huaxia 'Liaoning' is tens of thousands! Can these things be dismantled at will? The anchor of the 'Enterprise' is now in service with the aircraft carriers of the Stars and Stripes!

As the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, after 51 years of service, the "Enterprise" was handed over by the government of the Stars and Stripes to the Newport News shipyard in Virginia to begin the dismantling work, with more than 1,000 employees involved in the work, and the Stars and Stripes had to pay the shipyard $745 million for the dismantling of the ship! This is the first self-built new aircraft carrier 001A in Nima Huaxia to spend $3 billion.

Speaking of which, the one who will make the most use of decommissioned aircraft carriers is still Huaxia.

At present, there are four aircraft carriers in Huaxia, in addition to the 'Liaoning' and the newly manufactured '001A', there are also two 'Kiev-class' aircraft carriers, one in Tianjin, one in Shenzhen, and now in Nantong, all of which have become theme parks.

Many people are also curious about why the 'Varyag' can be transformed into the 'Liaoning' but these two aircraft carriers cannot? The reason is also very simple: To be precise, these two aircraft carriers should be 'large aircraft-carrying cruisers,' and carrier-based aircraft are not their main weapons. The Yak-38 short take-off / VTOL fighter carried on it has a combat radius of only 240 km, and the displacement is too small, and the prospects for modification are not great. It can only be used for scientific research.
