Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 461: United Aircraft Carrier

He thought it would be better to report the matter in person.

As the "sea airport" for long-distance operations, aircraft carriers play a vital role in modern naval warfare.

Using air power to control the sea has become one of the principles of modern naval warfare, and aircraft carriers are indispensable weapons to realize this principle.

China is able to possess two aircraft carriers at the same time in a short period of time because of its financial resources and top-notch talents like Lin Chen.

The first aircraft carrier attracted widespread attention from around the world during its sea trials.

All major countries are well aware that China's combat capability has increased, and they are also closely watching China's movements.

Among them, countries led by the United States have set off a wave of joint construction of aircraft carriers.

While Lin Chen was busy assembling the new aircraft carrier, a grand new aircraft carrier christening ceremony was held at a port in the eastern United States.

The construction of the aircraft carrier named "United" officially started.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening in Linhai City, China, on the other side of the earth.

Lin Chen returned to his residence - with a purpose.

Having not seen Fang Lan, Deji and the others for several days, he gradually began to get used to the feeling of an empty house.

When I turned on my phone and was about to call Fang Lan, Fang Lan's call came in.

Lin Chen answered the call quickly and turned on the speaker function, "You haven't rested yet!" Fang Lan's voice came.

"Of course I'm not resting. It's only nine o'clock. I was just about to call you." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"What a coincidence! We are almost done here. We have been shooting several long night scenes in a row and it is scheduled to end the day after tomorrow." Fang Lan said excitedly.

"So fast?" Lin Chen was indeed a little surprised.

He had read the script outline written by Fang Lan before and knew that the play had many units, each of which was relatively independent, so it was completely fine if he wanted to continue filming.

It seems that they have felt that the number of episodes and the plot are sufficient and they don't plan to continue filming.

"Then I would like to congratulate you in advance on finishing the filming! You can finally have a good rest!" Lin Chen said sincerely.

Lin Chen's words came from the heart without reservation.

Fang Lan added, "Everyone is looking forward to it. They're eager to get it done as soon as possible. But you can't miss the wrap-up party." Upon hearing this, Lin Chen agreed without hesitation.

Time passed quickly and it was the next morning. When Lin Chen arrived at the shipyard, he saw a long line of military vehicles driving towards the shipyard.

These were exactly the people that Lin Chen had asked Lin Xuejun to arrange the day before.

Various technicians and general workers, according to their different types of work, have already arrived at the dock almost at the same time.

Lin Chen had never seen the officer in charge of this mission before.

But the man recognized Lin Chen at a glance, walked straight up to him and said, "Boss Lin, everyone on the list is here."

As he said this, he handed back the piece of paper that Lin Chen had given to Lin Xuejun the day before.

Lin Chen took the paper and said to the officer, "Then I'll trouble you all. I will assign specific tasks for everyone. Of course, you can't leave, you have to stay and be responsible for the overall coordination." Upon hearing this, the officer showed his white teeth and smiled, "Yes, everything will be under the command of Boss Lin." Only then did Lin Chen learn that the officer in charge of the overall coordination was named Deng Xu.

Deng Xu was a man of outstanding working ability. Following Lin Chen's instructions, he quickly assigned all kinds of personnel to their respective positions.

In this way, Lin Chen felt much more relaxed.

Occasionally someone would come to ask a question and he would just give some pointers.

More often than not, he just had to walk around the dock and take a look at what was going on.

Nearly a thousand people were stationed in various directions, each busy with their own work.

In this way, the progress will naturally be much faster. The overall construction of the aircraft carrier has entered the outfitting stage.

According to the normal aircraft carrier construction process, this stage takes one to two years.

But Lin Chen had a different algorithm in mind. He got everyone moving, and with his carefully planned plan, the time was greatly shortened.

Soldiers are busy assembling ventilation, electrical, furniture, appliances, sanitary equipment and other equipment.

Lin Chen was busy preparing the aircraft on the ship, as well as installing and debugging various equipment in the ship's engine room area.

Everyone was busy with their work in an orderly manner.

During the lunch break, everyone went to the designated restaurant for lunch.

Not long after sitting down, Lin Chen received a call from Lin Xuejun.

On the phone, Lin Xuejun said: "The name of the aircraft carrier is already under study, and I think you also need to have corresponding supporting facilities to keep up."

Hearing this, Lin Chen asked, "Do you mean that we need to paint the outside of the aircraft carrier?"

Lin Xuejun replied: "I don't understand this. But I will tell you when the name of the aircraft carrier is decided."

Lin Xuejun actually didn't need to call Lin Chen at this time.

But since seeing Lin Chen's abilities, his mentality has changed a lot, and he is more willing to communicate with Lin Chen about work issues.

In his heart, Lin Chen is no longer just a partner, but more like a special friend.

Lin Chen didn't take the name of the aircraft carrier too seriously. He felt that his mission was to complete the construction of the aircraft carrier, and the name didn't seem to be too important.

However, the next day, someone delivered a special steel plate with three big words written on it: Chaoyang.

The name of the aircraft carrier was thus decided.

Lin Chen called Deng Xu and said, "This is our name. Although we can't paint it now, you have to keep this steel plate properly." Upon hearing this, Deng Xu quickly asked someone to take the steel plate and found a place to put it.

In the afternoon, Lin Chen was responsible for receiving people who came to work around the dock.

It turned out that several heavy trucks had also come to work together. The shipping department originally had staff dormitories, and now they had to accommodate these soldiers who came to work.

Lin Chen found that the facilities here were rather old, and the soldiers living here definitely needed a better living environment.

So he ordered some equipment and prepared to use it in his dormitory.

I thought these things could be dealt with, but I didn't expect that Lin Chen received a call from Lin Xuejun just after he finished the work at hand.

On the phone, Lin Xuejun said: "Boss Lin, if it's convenient, I'll send a car to pick you up and bring you to our war zone for a meeting."

Lin Chen replied: "No need to go through so much trouble. I can drive there myself. The distance is not far." Every time Lin Chen was called over, it was basically about the aircraft carrier.

Lin Chen is very serious about the work he takes over and is very active in meetings.

He arrived at the meeting area and found that not only the commander of the Eastern Theater was there, but also several other officers.

When everyone saw Lin Chen, they all greeted him.

After Lin Chen sat down, Tong Shichen said, "Today's meeting is still about aircraft carriers."

Lin Chen nodded, indicating that he had guessed it.

Tong Shichen looked at the document in his hand and asked very seriously: "You should also know that several countries led by the United States are jointly building the United aircraft carrier, right?"

Lin Chen replied: "Yes, this has been news for some time. Does it mean anything special to us?"

Tong Shichen said seriously: "That's right. Because it is a joint construction, their construction period has been shortened a lot. According to our understanding, the number of people they have employed has reached tens of thousands."

They accelerated the progress both in terms of materials and construction and installation.

Lin Chen frowned when he heard this.

Tong Shichen specially convened such a meeting and asked him to come. Could it be that he wanted to shorten the construction period by another month? He subconsciously wanted to reject such a proposal.

After all, one month was a time that I had calculated carefully, and rushing the work would likely bring unnecessary trouble.

Lin Chen didn't want to take such a risk.

However, he was also hesitant. If the country really needed it, he could also find a way to shorten the time.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Tong Shichen say, "We must at least make our aircraft carrier surpass others in performance within our capabilities. This task falls on your shoulders."

As soon as Tong Shichen finished speaking, Lin Chen understood.

It turns out that they wanted to build their own aircraft carriers more advanced than those of other countries.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen said, "There shouldn't be any special problems. But we still need to know the attributes and functions of the other party's aircraft carrier."

Although the performance of some products from countries around the world will eventually be announced to the public, no one can obtain this information before actually seeing it.

Outsiders did not know to what extent the other party had improved the function. Lin Chen asked: "Leader, do you know some internal information?"

As soon as these words came out, the people in front of him fell silent.

Lin Xuejun said to Lin Chen: "We are unable to obtain extremely confidential information at the moment, so I want to ask Boss Lin if there is any way to obtain it."

Lin Chen was a little confused, and Lin Xuejun explained: "Captain Fang of the Linhai Military Region said that he could ask you about this issue."

Lin Chen took a deep breath. He could indeed get some new information. But he completely underestimated the importance of the meeting he was participating in.

He thought about it for a moment and said to the people in front of him: "I am also a businessman, and I have to charge for this kind of information."

Lin Chen did not intend to pay out of his own pocket, but he still had to collect the money.

After all, I am not a member of the military now, and the most basic business principle when doing business is to ensure that I do not lose money.

The people present, whether it was Tong Shichen or Lin Xuejun, all showed happy smiles. They were surprised that Lin Chen could even get such news, but they also knew that it was inconvenient to ask more details.

This is Lin Chen's own ability, and they also know the limits.

Tong Shichen even smiled and said to Lin Chen: "As long as Boss Lin can solve this problem, I will pay for it."

Lin Chen said, "Then I will go back and find out the situation. I will explain the cost directly when the time comes."

The main purpose of this meeting was to allow Lin Chen to search for some information about the United States-led aircraft carrier.

This was not difficult for Lin Chen. When he went back, Tong Shichen specially sent a driver to drive Lin Chen.

The driver drove Lin Chen's car, sent Lin Chen back, and then took another taxi back.

All this was just because Lin Chen solved a huge problem. Not only was he able to understand the intelligence from the United States, he was even able to build a more advanced aircraft carrier based on his understanding of the other side.

Tong Shichen believes that Lin Chen has this ability.

Lin Chen took advantage of the free time in the car to turn on the system.

"System, give me information about the USS Union aircraft carrier." He said softly.

"Received, please wait!" The system responded quickly.

A file flashed up, showing: "Master, if you choose to view it, you need to pay two hundred thousand."

Lin Chen picked up his phone, called Lin Xuejun, and explained the expense matters one by one.

Just one minute later, a transfer of 200,000 yuan was received in his account. He quickly used the money to pay for the system, and then the folder was unlocked.

Lin Chen clicked the mouse, opened the folder, and began to look through it carefully.

The information related to the aircraft carrier is extremely complicated, but because it has been carefully classified, he can clearly understand the main performance of this aircraft carrier.

This aircraft carrier, named "United", not only uses the advanced technology of nuclear power, but its space division method also surpasses the previous aircraft carrier tradition.

It allocates more space to offensive and defensive weapons and equipment, greatly enhancing the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier.

Compared with the previous "Forti", the "United" is undoubtedly better.

Its full load displacement even exceeds 150,000 tons, which means it can carry more carrier-based aircraft and weapons and ammunition, providing more powerful firepower support for the navy.

Moreover, consistent with Lin Chen's arrangement, the opponent's aircraft carrier was also equipped with an electromagnetic catapult.

This device not only saves deck space, but also significantly increases the take-off frequency of carrier-based aircraft.

Judging from this series of parameters, the two aircraft carriers are almost the same in terms of function. After Lin Chen finished reading all the contents in the document, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

He said to himself, "Based on the current situation of aircraft carriers, this is already a high-tech technology. However, compared with what I have, it is still a little behind."

He has full confidence in himself and believes that his aircraft carrier will definitely be superior in performance.

After shutting down the system, Lin Chen began to take out his aircraft carrier research and development drawings. He carefully examined each drawing, his heart full of expectations for the future.

He knew very well that the aircraft carrier he designed had surpassed the "United" jointly built by the United States and other countries in overall performance.

But this is far from enough. What he pursues is a higher realm, the ultimate performance that surpasses all existing aircraft carriers.
