In an instant.

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, everyone's eyes were as if they were sluggish!

I couldn't believe what I was hearing!

This steel behemoth, a destroyer with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons is not worth mentioning.

So what does Jiang Chen plan to build next?

Could it be that it is a helicarrier? Is it still a Star Destroyer?

"Chief Engineer Jiang, this is a 50,000-ton destroyer"

"Can it only be considered a meagre??"

Captain Du looked at him dumbfounded and said in shock.

In terms of the displacement of this kind of destroyer, it is comparable to Huaxia's 001 aircraft carrier!

A behemoth with a length of more than 300 meters was actually said by Chief Engineer Jiang to be "just 50,000 tons?" ”

Staring at the several Navy captains in front of him.

"50,000 tons of water is naturally not too big!" Jiang Chen shook his head, unmoved.

Compared with the tonnage of large ships to be developed in the future, these 50,000 tons can be said to be just a starting point.

Before they could react.

Jiang Chen then spoke:

"In the next step, two large destroyers will be built simultaneously."

"It will be launched in half a year. Perform various functional tests. ”

"It is expected to be delivered to the Navy by the end of next year!"

This is the first large destroyer to be built in his plan.

It is not planned to convert all the 15 055 large drives currently under construction into large destroyers for use.

Hear this.

"Is it possible to build two large destroyers at the same time??"

"Delivered next year. This is in line with the regular plan, but the number is a bit small! ”

Several captains nodded, full of approval.

If you want to ensure the normal operation of the shipyard, the construction speed of one ship launched in half a year is not too slow.

It can even be said to be very fast, after all, it will take more than a year for any 055 to be built and launched.

However, the only thing that is not very satisfying is that only two ships are built at the same time, and it is not possible to allocate one to the entire fleet.

In the midst of a long discussion.

A moment later.

"The task of building and developing these two large destroyers."

"It won't be built at the Penang Shipyard, but at the Southern Shipyard!"

"At the same time, the Penang shipyard will take on one of the most important tasks."

Jiang Chen's tone was calm, announcing the news.

The strength of the Southern Shipyard is not weak, and it can fully undertake the task of building large destroyers.

Penang is the closest to Yenching, so this is the most suitable place for this important R&D task.

However.

"Why did Chief Engineer Jiang only let Jiangnan Shipyard carry out construction work?"

"The Penang shipyard is built at a higher level and can build at least five large destroyers at the same time."

"Take on an important task?? What is the mission?? ”

"Is it necessary to develop and build a new type of ship? Could it be an aircraft carrier? ”

Captain Du and the others immediately became energetic when they said this, and their eyes were firmly locked on Jiang Chen.

This is an important research and development task, and they guess that it is very likely to be the development of a new type of ship.

And a much more important task of construction than a large destroyer . That's an aircraft carrier, no doubt!

This real hegemon of the sea, an airfield on the sea!

Facing the curious gazes of several people:

"That's right."

"This important task of the Penang shipyard is to build aircraft carriers!"

"And a completely new kind of aircraft carrier, a real nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!"

Jiang Chen nodded, and said in an extremely solemn tone.

This large destroyer is just an appetizer, and his real R&D goal has always been an aircraft carrier!

And it is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, not a conventionally powered aircraft carrier like the three before the Huaxia!

His voice had just fallen.

Time.

The captains standing next to him seemed to be dead for a moment!

My breathing began to be a little short, and I only felt my heart start to flutter violently!

"Hiss building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier??"

"Chief Engineer Jiang, you're not kidding, are you??"

"Not conventional power? Are we going to build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers too? ”

"Well, that's great! Finally we also have nuclear-powered aircraft carriers! ”

The entire top level of the naval force was excited because of Jiang Chen's words.

Nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, this is the dream that the whole of China has been pursuing for many years!

For decades, these words have haunted everyone's heads like a nightmare.

Can they also have a real nuclear-powered aircraft carrier today?

"This aircraft carrier we want to build"

"Is it a 50,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?"

Captain Du couldn't help but ask, wondering what the tonnage of this aircraft carrier was.

After all, for an aircraft carrier, carrier-based aircraft are everything to it!

And the higher the displacement, the greater the area and the number of carrier-based aircraft it can accommodate!

Correspondingly, the greater the tonnage, the more difficult it is to build!

"Fifty or sixty thousand tons of displacement may be a bit small!"

"I think the level of seventy or eighty thousand tons should be about the same, right?"

"I also feel that this is more suitable, and the displacement is comparable to that of the 003 aircraft carrier!"

"50,000 tons is good, there is enough experience to build a bigger aircraft carrier"

Several captains next to him spoke, putting forward their opinions!

After all, the largest conventionally powered aircraft carrier in China, No. 003, has a displacement of only more than 80,000 tons.

As the first time to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, it is enough to be cautious and build seventy or eighty thousand tons.

Heard a few people say this.

"Even the destroyers are more than 50,000 tons."

"What's the point of us building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of 780,000 tons, or even 50,000 tons?!"

"It's a little too petty."

Jiang Chen's eyes froze, and he shook his head firmly and said.

He does not plan to develop a small nuclear-powered aircraft carrier at all, step by step.

Rather, it is ready to develop a truly large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in one step.

Suddenly.

"Hiss"

"An aircraft carrier of seventy or eighty thousand tons is still small??"

"Chief Engineer Jiang, you don't plan to develop a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, do you?"

"Isn't that going to be too difficult??"

When everyone heard this, they immediately gasped, terrifying!

A 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, which is close to the tonnage of a Nimitz nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Is this such a huge challenge? They worry that something is going too far.

After all, this is a behemoth that can easily reach hundreds of meters, how can it be so simple.

Merely.

Jiang Chen still denied this statement.

"More than a 100,000-ton displacement"

"It's not just about surpassing the Nimitz-class, it's even going to be far ahead of the Ford-class aircraft carriers!"

"And its displacement may even exceed 150,000 tons!"

"The capacity, performance, etc. of carrier-based aircraft will be improved in all aspects!"

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he solemnly announced to everyone in front of him.

This is Jiang Chen's real R&D goal!

To build, then to build the best and largest nuclear-powered aircraft carriers!

Not only to surpass the Nimitz, but even to surpass the Ford-class aircraft carriers, to become a sea giant with a displacement of more than 150,000 tons!

Time.

The audience was sluggish, and there was not a sound in the throat.
