Half a month's time is not short or long, not to mention that I have been waiting for several months, and it is not bad for these ten days, I must have waited for nearly three months, and I am afraid that there are still people who are in a hurry who remember it more than themselves.

It should be explained here again that the Hope-class aircraft carrier is the first aircraft carrier equipped in Africa, but it is a transitional aircraft carrier, and the current nation-class aircraft carrier is the pioneering work of its own aircraft carrier, he must be the originator of African aircraft carriers, so as the originator, he must have his own children and grandchildren, that is, a new aircraft carrier designed according to the territory of the national aircraft carrier.

At present, this is the case, all the naval officers scoffed at the pediatric aircraft carrier in front of them, and asked Li Puyu to directly develop and produce the aircraft carrier at the end of World War II, but Li Puyu refused, everything must go step by step, so everything must have a development process, right? So at Li Puyu's insistence, all plans were carried out according to Li Puyu's ideas.

At least for the time being, the Red Alert system provides general data on the next level of aircraft carriers, and Li Puyu's ship design bureau is constantly supplementing the specifics of the new aircraft carrier, developing a new type of aircraft carrier.

The displacement of this new aircraft carrier will reach an unprecedented level of more than 10,000 tons, and the full load displacement will approach more than 60,000 tons. This will be the largest aircraft carrier ever built in the world, although aircraft carriers are not many years old in this world.

Of course, there is nothing like volume, the key is that this aircraft carrier will be equipped with a lot of new equipment and a lot of advanced technology will be applied to it, such as catapults.

Just when Li Puyu fell into infinite yy, at this time, Zhou Yanfang on the side had already finished admiring the huge guy in front of him.

"Brother Puyu, when will this aircraft carrier be launched into service?" Zhou Yanfang asked with doubts:

Because Zhou Yanfang has been with Li Puyu for a long time, he has also read a lot of books about the navy in Li Puyu's hand, so he knows a lot of knowledge that he didn't know before, such as the launching and service just mentioned, because at least he already knows that a warship must go through the process of launching, outfitting, and sea trial before entering the service.

After hearing this, Li Puyu said with a hint of rigor expression: "The first ship will take about half a month, and the second ship will take a month." Your big brother and I plan to build a total of 10 aircraft carriers of this type. ”

"Isn't it a waste to ask for so much?" After hearing this, Zhou Yanfang asked with questions:

"It's not much, as long as they exist, it will protect our happy life, otherwise we will only be bullied." Li Puyu said with a heavy face:

"Can I go and see when the warship is in service?" Zhou Yanfang said to Li Puyu, looking at Li Puyu with a hint of expectation on her face, and her eyes flashed with light.

For Zhou Yanfang's request, Li Puyu personally welcomed it very much. So Li Puyu didn't hesitate and said directly: "Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes." ”

Of course, the reason why Li Puyu agreed to Zhou Yanfang's request was not just out of personal problems, because there was a very important part of the aircraft carrier's launch in the later generations, that is, smashing champagne to baptize the warship. This ritual is usually done by a lady of higher status.

The big ship was launched, and the "bottle throwing ceremony" was held in accordance with international practice, a bottle of champagne smashed the bow of the ship, and the gorgeous ribbons were sprayed in an instant, and the surrounding ships honked their horns together, and the "bottle throwing ceremony" was particularly eye-catching. So how did the "bottle throwing ceremony" come about, and what are the rituals before the ship is launched?

The custom of knocking wine bottles when a new ship is launched originated in the West in ancient times. At that time, due to the backwardness of navigation technology, navigation was a life-threatening profession, and shipwrecks and casualties were inevitable and frequent.

In order to pray for the safe return of the ship after going to sea, the people of ancient Greece wore garlands made of olive branches on their heads when the ships were launched, drank wine to show their respect to the gods, and poured water on the newly completed ships as a symbol of blessing. The Turks chose to sacrifice a sheep, while the Babylonians would slaughter a steer as a sacrifice. At this time, a bottle of champagne is thrown and smashed by a dignitary (usually a lady in the West) at the bow of the ship, known as the "bottle toss". If the champagne bottle is smashed at one time, it is a sign that the new ship will have a smooth sailing in the future.

Since Westerners generally love to drink champagne, the drifting bottles that are dropped are often champagne bottles. In fact, there is very little hope that the crew will be rescued after being shipwrecked at sea, and if a crew member drops such a bottle, it means that he is in danger at sea. Over time, year after year, a habit was formed that whenever a new ship was launched, the owner's wife, on behalf of it, would smash a bottle of champagne at the bow of the ship, and let the mellow wine be sprinkled around the bow to ward off evil spirits and pray for good fortune. The more champagne bottles are broken, the better, indicating that the ship will always be smooth sailing and finished when it is put on the voyage. Nowadays, when the ship is launched and then champagne, it has evolved into a traditional festive ceremony. So Li Puyu decided to follow suit.

Finally came to the day when the aircraft carrier was launched, Li Puyu and others came to the port where the aircraft carrier was launched, Li Puyu looked at the huge ship in the distance and sighed: "This is the real aircraft carrier!" Looking at the behemoth in front of him, Li Puyu sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Just like the status of battleships in the minds of people in this era, aircraft carriers also have a very special status for Li Puyu who crossed over. Of course, Li Puyu is also well aware of the mentality of various countries in this era, and there is no way for aircraft carriers to be compared with battleships, at least there is no way to replace the status of battleships in the eyes of the world.

But Li Puyu knew very well in his heart that it was a few days before the aircraft carrier replaced the battleship.

"In less than five years, after five years, the position of the battleship will be replaced by you, and your glory has just begun. Battleships will become your vassals. Li Puyu muttered to herself:

While thinking about it, Li Puyu looked at the aircraft carrier parked in the dock not far away, and Li Puyu's heart was extremely excited and happy.

Indeed, the replacement of battleships by aircraft carriers is indeed the trend of the times, and it can almost be said that no one can change one thing. But the navies of various countries are still resisting the role of this weapon. After all, the big ships and huge guns are the symbols of force.
