"The civilianization of military technology, reaping returns from the civilian market, and then feeding back to military scientific research, forming a virtuous circle -- this is the idea that Xiaolin told me more than 10 years ago, and now it seems that you have practiced it very well." Liu Xianghai said to Lin Zhenhua with a smile.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Science and technology must be transformed into productivity, if scientific and technological achievements are limited to the laboratory, or only limited to the military field, it will definitely be difficult to sustain in the end." The military science and technology of the former Soviet Union was not insignificant, but it collapsed in the end, and this is a lesson from our past. ”

"Well said." Liu Xianghai said, "When I was still in Fenghua, I especially admired your business acumen. Seriously, at that time, I really felt a little sorry for you, and I felt that a capable person like you should concentrate on scientific research and run around all day to make money, which is a waste of talent. ”

Lin Zhenhua sighed: "Actually, I was also forced to go to Liangshan, I am actually not a person who is good at business, my ideal is the same as your Lao Liu, and I am also sitting in the laboratory to do some research." Who knows, by mistake, he became an entrepreneur. ”

If there is no such thing, Lin Zhenhua, as a graduate student of Huaqing University, is most likely to develop his career as an engineer and devote himself to scientific research. But the crossing changed his life choices, and in the social context of the late 70s, what China needed most was not scientists, but entrepreneurs. Lin Zhenhua also conformed to the times, stood out, and single-handedly created a large-scale Hanhua Heavy Industry.

Because of this, there is one less outstanding engineer in the world, but because of the rise of Hanhua, there are more than a thousand engineers? Liu Xianghai, Zhang Yihua, Wei Dongqi, He Chengshan, Wei Jingwen, etc., and even Lin Fanghua, Jiang Jie, Miao Xiaoqiong, the next generation of scientific and technological elites, all have a broad stage because of Lin Zhenhua's existence, and they can display their skills. In this sense, what Lin Zhenhua did to promote science and technology far exceeded the effect of himself as an engineer.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see our new aircraft carrier." Liu Xianghai said to Lin Zhenhua with great interest.

According to the tradition of the Chinese industry, the research and development and construction of new equipment have always been kept secret. Although speculation about the new aircraft carrier has been overwhelming, so far no one has been able to get a single exact information about the new aircraft carrier. This is also a person of Lin Zhenhua's level, if it is replaced by someone else, Liu Xianghai said slowly that he will take him to see the aircraft carrier, even if he mentions the word aircraft carrier, he must cherish the words like gold.

Led by a guard soldier, Lin Zhenhua and Liu Xianghai walked into the aircraft carrier workshop located in a corner of the shipyard's military port area. It is a huge workshop, more than 500 meters long, 150 meters wide, and nearly 80 meters high, equivalent to more than 20 stories high. Rao is like this, the skeleton of a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, as well as cranes, scaffolding and the like, still stuff the entire workshop to the brim.

On the way to Lin Zhenhua and their workshop, from time to time technicians and workers came forward to salute Liu Xianghai, and occasionally a few people stood up and greeted "Mr. Lin" affectionately, Lin Zhenhua couldn't call the names of these people, but he also knew that they were all Hanhua employees borrowed by Liu Xianghai. The construction of an aircraft carrier involves a myriad of jobs, and the military has adopted the method of a group of heroes, sending outstanding workers and technicians from various enterprises to assist, and these people have signed confidentiality agreements with the military to ensure that everything they see will not be leaked.

"Xiaolin, look, this is the 100,000-ton aircraft carrier we are building." Liu Xianghai pointed to the behemoth in the middle of the workshop and said to Lin Zhenhua.

"It's shocking indeed!" Lin Zhenhua sighed with emotion, and then commented selectively, "This seems to have just a bone shelf, and the skin and flesh haven't been pasted yet, right?" I said Lao Liu, your military is too slow to do things, right? The aircraft carrier in front of me is indeed only a bunch of skeletons, and the steel plates, decks, bridges, etc. of the hull do not yet exist. Lin Zhenhua doesn't know how to build a ship, and he can't see the mystery in it, but just from this skeleton, it already makes people feel dizzy.

Liu Xianghai said: "It's still early, our scheduled launch time is 08 years, and there are still 6 years to go." At present, it is a major breakthrough to be able to determine the structure, which means that the space and location of various equipment have been clarified and cannot be changed.

At present, we still have two major pieces of equipment that have not been finalized, one is the electromagnetic catapult device, and the other is the nuclear power system. If these two pieces of equipment are not finalized, other things cannot be built in a hurry. By the way, the research of the latter technology is your old Zhang in charge. ”

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Liu Xianghai just said Lao Zhang, Zhang Yihua, the chief engineer of Hanhua Steam Turbine Company, rushed over from the other end of the workshop when he heard the news. He was wearing a sky-blue overalls representing technicians, wearing a hard hat, and his steps were flying, and he couldn't tell that he was already "Ben Qi" at all. Walking in front of Liu Xianghai and Lin Zhenhua, he laughed and stretched out his hands to shake hands with the two.

"Dean Liu, Mr. Lin, what kind of wind blew you here today?" Zhang Yihua asked.

Liu Xianghai pointed at Lin Zhenhua and said, "Xiaolin has just returned from abroad and has done our navy a great favor. No, I'll take him to see the aircraft carrier, which can be regarded as a reward for him. ”

Lin Zhenhua had a black line in his head, and said to Liu Xianghai: "Old Liu, I found that you, an honest man, are also very slippery in talking now, obviously you have asked me to be good, and what kind of reward do you say." I'm not one of those military fans on the Internet, and it doesn't matter so much to me whether I look at aircraft carriers or not. Well, if you say that you brought me here today to treat me, you are not allowed to talk about business, or I will leave. ”

"Haha, you've seen through it!" Liu Xianghai laughed. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that he seemed to have really become a bit of a philistine over the years, and it is no wonder that the aircraft carrier project is a big system project that requires the coordination of forces from all sides, which makes him have to learn to say a little polite words on the scene many times. However, saying this kind of polite words to Lin Zhenhua is really a bit out of sight.

"Okay, okay, I won't go around in circles with you, I invite you to the shipyard today, I really have a request for you Hanhua, this matter, let Lao Zhang tell you." Liu Xianghai said.

Lin Zhenhua looked at Zhang Yihua with a smile and said, "Lao Zhang, I remember that you are our Hanhua people, why did you turn your elbow outward, and dig a pit with Lao Liu to prepare to trap me?" Is there anything we can't say back to Xunyang, we have to say it on Lao Liu's one-third of an acre? ”

Zhang Yihua was also a little embarrassed, although he knew that Lin Zhenhua and Liu Xianghai had a lot of friendship, but after all, Lin Zhenhua was his real leader. If it weren't for Lin Zhenhua who invited him to Hanhua and provided him with scientific research conditions, in the past 10 years, he would probably have done nothing, and he didn't dare to imagine such an achievement today. Now, for the sake of naval affairs, he wants to stand on Liu Xianghai's position and ask Lin Zhenhua, which is really a little inappropriate.

"Mr. Lin, that's the case, in the group office meeting, I have talked about the helium turbine many times, do you remember?" Zhang Yihua finally mustered up the courage to speak out.

"I remember." Lin Zhenhua said, "However, I also remember you mentioned that the investment in this project is too large and the technology is too cutting-edge, so the group has been shelved and dare not start." I know that your team has been conducting pre-research, why, do you think the time is ripe now? ”

Zhang Yihua turned around and pointed to the skeleton of the aircraft carrier and said, "The 100,000-ton aircraft carrier that President Liu is building is powered by nuclear power. The original design used two pressurized water reactors and four steam turbines, imitating the pattern of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the United States. However, after discussing with Bryth and Tuchinov, Dean Liu and I both agreed that we could consider using a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor with better safety and thermal efficiency as the power source, and using a helium turbine to do the work. …,

In this way, the safety of aircraft carrier operation can be greatly improved and maintenance costs can be reduced, which is very meaningful for aircraft carriers to cope with complex combat conditions. ”

"I'm dizzy." Lin Zhenhua stroked his forehead with his hand, he looked at Zhang Yihua, then at Liu Xianghai, and asked, "Which of you two had this idea?" It can't be that Lao Zhang used the power of the navy to suppress me in order to build a helium turbine, right? ”

Zhang Yihua and Liu Xianghai laughed together, of course they knew that Lin Zhenhua was joking. With Zhang Yihua's status in Hanhua, if he really wants to put forward a reasonable plan, Lin Zhenhua categorically has no reason to disappoint it. And if this plan is really unreasonable, Zhang Yihua will not be able to put it forward, and Liu Xianghai will not be able to intercede for him.

However, the matter of helium turbines is more or less because Zhang Yihua has always been in his heart, so he will tentatively bring it up on the side of the navy. Unexpectedly, as soon as it was proposed, it was unanimously approved by experts from the military, nuclear industry companies, and the former Soviet Union, which was why he wanted to report to Lin Zhenhua.

"The technology of helium turbines, now is also the time to ripen, Lao Zhang means, take the opportunity of building a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, use the military to gather the country's technical personnel, break through the existing technical barriers. It's a good time to lose. Liu Xianghai said, "Xiaolin, aren't we still talking about the combination of military and civilian just now, if the helium turbine technology can achieve a breakthrough, its civilian value is also very considerable." ”

"Hehe, it turns out that there is still civilian value." Lin Zhenhua smiled, "Then I have to listen carefully." I said ugly things in the front, I can't see the 'money scene', I don't do it. ”
