Twenty-six arrows! I didn't know much about the construction of naval armaments before, but when I talked about these things, I suddenly felt a little confident in my heart.

In the final analysis, as a naval commander, without a few aircraft carrier formations in his hands, he simply does not have the confidence to confront the world's naval powers. It's not that there is no guts. However, the mode of maritime combat has undergone fundamental changes, and it is impossible to fight a naval battle without a comprehensive maritime command and carrier-based aircraft platform.

As far as all the current naval forces in China are concerned, it is difficult to cope with coastal conflicts, let alone go out of their homes and fight on the outside line. Even Russia. At present, it is also relatively weak in this respect, and only the American aircraft carrier squadron in the world can be said to be the strongest and most combat-effective contingent in maritime operations.

But to be honest, with the current strength of Fan's Investment Group, although it can already build an aircraft carrier in technology, it is in some concrete implementations. It is still more difficult, especially Fan Shi has no experience in building large ships before, although it has been working closely with Jiangnan Shipyard for several years, and has made various preparations for the manufacture of aircraft carriers, and built large docks and factories, but when it comes to the day of construction, I still feel a little unconfident.

But the arrival of the Waglian last year gave them some more leverage to their self-confidence. Under the pretext of transforming it into a gambling city on the water, in mid-March 1998, the Macau Changle Tourism and Entertainment Company purchased the Waglian aircraft carrier for $20 million and prepared to renovate it.

Everyone knows that the talk that the Waglian aircraft carrier will be transformed into a maritime gambling city is just a cover-up.

If there is a real need to transform Waglian into a floating hotel. It doesn't take more than three years, and there is no need to abandon the shipyards in Guangzhou and Shanghai that may be improved, and go north to Dalian.

The renovation of the floating hotel is not high-tech and does not take such a long time. No private company can afford to invest in a loss-making business that doesn't pay off for a long time.

The reason why the Waglian aircraft carrier was placed in Dalian is very clear, because the Dalian shipyard has very rich experience in assembling boilers and steam turbine power systems, and the destroyers are produced in Dalian. The Waglian, on the other hand, used eight zeal-boilers and four steam turbines.

The newly exposed aircraft carrier Waglian surprisingly appeared on the dock of the Dalian shipyard, it is well known. If it is just a general commercial modification, there is basically no need to enter the dock operation, and only indoor installation is involved.

The Waglian was very well maintained, and although it was not painted or installed, it was clear that the necessary repairs had been made over the past few years, and it was not the work of the merchants, who had to put the goods on the market as soon as possible and earn a return. The aircraft carrier Waglian apparently has the support of the state and has other uses.

In the 80s of the last century, after accumulating experience in building Moskva-class helicopter carriers in the 60s and Kiev-class light aircraft carriers in the 70s, the former Soviet Union officially launched the exhibition plan of opening a new generation of aircraft carriers in order to expand the scope of its maritime defense.

In the following years, the economic situation in the former Soviet Union deteriorated sharply, after the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991. Since the Russian government could not afford the high cost of continuing to build the Wagryan, the Ukrainian government had to dismantle the valuable parts of the Wagryan aircraft carrier and send it to the international scrap market.

In 1998, after a seven-year hiatus, the Waglian finally welcomed a buyer from Macao, and after the transaction, the Waglian set sail for Macao in November of the same year. On the way back through the Bosphorus Strait, the Turkish government refused to allow the Wagjin to pass through on the grounds that it posed a threat to shipping through the strait.

In fact, the Turkish government was forced by the US government to keep pressing behind the scenes to deny the Wagryan a passage through the Bosphorus. To this end, the Chinese government has made representations on several occasions, promising that the Chinese side will fully bear the responsibility for the safety insurance of the Waglian through the Bosphorus and the compensation for the losses that may be caused, and will send a tug ship from China's Big 6 to assist in towing the Waglian to ensure the safety of the entire voyage.

In September 2001, the Turkish government finally agreed to allow the Waglian to pass through the strait. In the following year, the Waglian arrived in Dalian. The cover festival is based on the four days of the book bar. Coffee book friends) upload

Over the past year or so. The Navy's scientific and technical personnel conducted basic structural research on the Waglian aircraft carrier and gained basic knowledge of modern aircraft carrier structures. This is the main reason why China bought the Waglian, through such a buying campaign. China has also obtained the necessary design drawings, and the defense industry department has also hired aircraft carrier design experts from Russia to give lectures in China. There has been some progress in the pre-research of key supporting facilities on aircraft carriers.

The General Staff Headquarters and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense have also repeatedly organized the analysis, demonstration, and evaluation of the inspection, introduction, and pre-research, and judged by many Russian and Ukrainian experts and the above-mentioned testimony in combination with the current situation of the Waglian, that it is possible to transform the Waglian into an aircraft carrier training ship, in accordance with the Chinese Navy's ship power technology. It won't be difficult to get the Waglian back on the sea..."

For the future modification of the Waglian, the relevant design drawings were first obtained, and the structural drawings of the parts that needed to be modified were obtained. This batch of drawings needs to be compared with the real thing as soon as possible as a reference to speed up the design progress of Chinese-made aircraft carriers.

Coincidentally, not long ago, Fan Wuzhi obtained some aircraft carrier data provided by the Russian side in the secret agreement, which is basically a relief in disguise, and under the verification of the two phases, the progress of military research is very fast, and a breakthrough has been made, paving the way for domestic aircraft carriers.

Meanwhile. Compared with the purchase of the Waglian aircraft carrier five years ago, the Chinese Navy itself has also undergone tremendous environmental changes; first, as the backbone force for the formation of the aircraft carrier fleet, a new batch of large surface ships such as the China Aegis, the China Hyundai, and the concave frigates have been built, and the concave fighters have begun to be equipped with the air force in batches, the production of the naval type may already be planned, and the navy's special concave has already entered the test flight stage.

There is also a major breakthrough in the motivation technology used in aircraft carriers, so that the basic material forces for the construction of aircraft carriers are already available.

The practical significance of the Wagryan to the Chinese Navy is that it can test the aircraft carrier control platform system and use it as a training ship, and technically speaking, it is unlikely that Wagryanko will be converted into a full-fledged aircraft carrier.

The ship was launched in 1988, and its hull has been immersed in water for nearly 20 years, and judging from the 50 years of service of the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the Waglian has not been able to continue to serve for a long time after being refitted. In addition, the Wagryan itself was unfinished, lacking the necessary power plant and armament, and Ukraine dismantled all valuable remaining parts before handing it over. More importantly, at the request of Russia and the United States, Ukraine carried out blasting of the sensitive part of the Waglian hull, which will face great difficulties in repairing it, and the main structure has been damaged.

Therefore, there will be two possibilities for the future of the Waglian, the first is to become a test ship, which is used as a test platform for testing ship's devices, electronic systems, weapons and equipment, and carrier-based aircraft, which is also very important, although the military can use the 6-place test flight deck to test the take-off and landing of new carrier-based aircraft, but this method is difficult to simulate the swing and shaking during take-off and landing at sea, and the Waglian can provide the most ideal test platform for the new carrier-based aircraft after becoming a test ship. And "Waglian" can also be used to test different types of aircraft carrier power plants. In order to determine what kind of power plant will be used by the Chinese aircraft carrier in the future.

Secondly, the Waglian may also become a scratch ship. It is used to conduct long-term training for the Navy's aircraft carrier combat personnel, so that officers at all levels, including the captain, all personnel on board, and pilots of carrier-based aircraft can gain valuable experience through real training on the ship, and train generation after generation of qualified aircraft carrier service personnel for the Chinese Navy.

Whether it becomes a test ship or a training ship, the Waglian will have the potential to be quickly improved into a combat ship in wartime, thus becoming a transitional quasi-aircraft carrier before the Chinese Navy is officially equipped with aircraft carriers in the future.

Chen Guangyi knew very well what the Waglian did. But purely from a technical point of view, he is not very clear about some of the inside stories here. The main reason is that some breakthroughs in key technologies have been completed recently, but Fan Wuxi, who has handled Russian materials, has a better understanding.

But Fan Wuxian also made it very clear to Chen Guangyi, "Building an aircraft carrier is not an overnight thing, even if the hull can be built easily, but it will take time to match the ship's equipment and form combat effectiveness." It's more realistic for you to hurry up and arm the Waglian now. At least I'm trying to scrape and practice on it first, and when the aircraft carrier on my side is built, I can put it into use in time. ”

Chen Guangyi smiled, "I naturally know this, I just want to know a little, when will I be able to use my own aircraft carrier?" ”

This question is naturally not so easy to answer, but Fan Wuxi is also very aware of Chen Guangyi's eagerness, so he replied, "Don't worry, at least you won't stay up until you retire, as long as you, the commander of the navy, continue to work." I am worried that I will not have the opportunity to personally board a domestically produced aircraft carrier to have a good time. ”

"If it is true as you say, I will be willing to die." Chen Guangyi pondered the meaning of Fan Wuxi's words, and thought that it would definitely be possible to achieve it within ten years.

Thinking that he had the opportunity to board the first domestically produced aircraft carrier as a naval commander and shake the breeze, Chen Guangyi's heart suddenly surged, and he said in his heart that he must hold on to it and not make mistakes, this naval commander is not easy to come by. There are no pop-ups
