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

Chapter 464 is coming to an end
Deng Xu hurriedly walked towards the direction of the other soldiers. The soldier who came over was reporting something to him and pointed in the direction of the radar in the distance.

After hearing this, Deng Xu immediately began to assign tasks.

Lin Chen continued to be busy. After installing the close-in defense gun on the port side, the starboard side and the port side of the bow were still waiting for him to assemble.

Just after finishing the work on the close-in defense artillery, he found that there was another "tail-follower" around him - it was Deng Xu again.

A few days ago, Deng Xu had been busy with his own things, but today he seemed particularly relaxed, always following Lin Chen around.

Lin Chen glanced at him and knew that Deng Xu had almost finished his job and now had plenty of time to follow him.

In that case, Lin Chen didn't say much, but took the initiative to chat with Deng Xu.

Deng Xu was not ignored by Lin Chen. He happily asked one question after another about the aircraft carrier.

"I saw that the electromagnetic catapult over there has been assembled. Is it really that close to perfect?" he asked curiously.

Lin Chen paused for a moment. He was planning to check the laying of the cables.

But he quickly responded: "Compared with the previous steam catapult, the electromagnetic catapult is indeed much better. It has a large launch capacity, occupies a small area, and can reduce maintenance personnel by 30%."

Having said that, Lin Chen smiled proudly at Deng Xu.

Deng Xu was fascinated by what he heard. Seeing Lin Chen's smile, he deeply realized the advantages of the electromagnetic catapult and even felt a sense of pride in his heart.

The cable laying work was completed, and Lin Chen turned to the electronic equipment installation area. His teaching of the electromagnetic catapult device was far from over.

It can be seen that Deng Xu is asking the question seriously.

Lin Chen continued, "The electromagnetic catapult has a very low failure rate and is easy to maintain. Its only problem is magnetic leakage, but this leakage will interfere with the electromagnetic equipment of ships and fighters."

"With steam catapults, there's no need to worry about electromagnetic issues." Deng Xu said in a low voice. His words sounded like both an answer and a soliloquy.

Lin Chen glanced at him with no expression on his face. He just nodded, agreeing with Deng Xu's words.

At the end of a day's work, everyone's face was filled with smiles.

Everyone stood at the edge of the dock, all looking at the aircraft carrier. All the assembly work had been completed.

The next thing to do is the testing phase of the aircraft carrier.

Deng Xu is usually a serious officer, but at this moment he also showed his white teeth.

“Looking at this situation, all the tests can be completed in less than a month,” he said confidently.

Lin Chen kindly reminded him: "Of course, we can only deliver the aircraft carrier if all performance is flawless."

Deng Xu laughed: "With Boss Lin's help, there will be no problem."

In fact, Lin Chen also thought so, but he really had to wait until all the experiments were completed before he could draw a conclusion. There was not much time left that day.

The next morning, Lin Chen arrived at the shipyard early.

The aircraft carrier in the dock moved slowly as the water level rose and finally sailed into the sea.

The aircraft carrier was docked at the pier, waiting to be completely still before testing. Lin Chen picked up the intercom to contact the crew.

"Prepare for the test, and start the test run at the main engine terminal," he ordered.

Soon, a technician responded over the intercom: "The damage control system and lighting system have been turned on simultaneously, and the ship has entered the power supply state."

This meant that they no longer needed the quay crane power at the shipyard's outfitting dock and everything was working fine.

Then, Lin Chen checked the condition of the steering gear and the anchoring equipment one after another.

Deng Xu followed behind Lin Chen and had changed several venues in succession.

As a soldier, he originally thought that his training intensity was already high enough, but at this moment he gradually felt that he was unable to cope with it.

Whenever he saw Lin Chen working diligently and tirelessly at the front, he felt that all his previous training in the military district was in vain.

He could only grit his teeth and persevere, trying to keep up with Lin Chen's pace with his sore legs.

After several steps, the dock test was finally completed.

Lin Chen finally had some free time at this time. He looked back at Deng Xu and found that Deng Xu no longer had the energy and spirit he had before.

Deng Xu noticed that Lin Chen was looking at him, so he straightened his back deliberately, trying to make himself look energetic.

However, Lin Chen said to him: "Take a short break. We will be conducting a navigation test next. You don't have to follow me all the time."

Deng Xu followed Lin Chen for two reasons: first, his leader had already ordered him to follow Lin Chen and learn more; second, he also wanted to follow Lin Chen, to see Lin Chen's work status and situation, and to regard him as his role model.

Maneuverability tests of the carrier took much longer than dock tests.

But for Lin Chen, these tasks are relatively simple.

They stood on the runway of the aircraft carrier, facing the wind as the aircraft carrier continued to sail on the sea, and felt extremely happy.

This aircraft carrier will soon be fully completed and can be put into use directly.

Deng Xu stood next to Lin Chen, admiring the same scenery as Lin Chen.

On this aircraft carrier moving at full speed, Deng Xu inexplicably felt his legs and hands shaking.

He tried to control himself and walked back and forth on the track.

Lin Chen picked up the intercom again: "Stop the host!"

Following Lin Chen's order, multiple departments worked together.

The crew is responsible for parking the main engine, while other groups are responsible for measuring data, because the gliding distance and gliding time generated by the inertia of the main engine after parking are data that need to be measured.

Lin Chen only had to wait for the results. At this time, he noticed Deng Xu, who was moving around but not in a large range.

"Are you nervous?" Lin Chen asked.

Deng Xu found that Lin Chen was looking at him and asking him questions, so he smiled awkwardly and responded, "I'm not nervous, I'm excited!"

He found a reason that sounded good.

Deng Xu couldn't describe how thrilling it was to sail this aircraft carrier, which took them twenty days to assemble. But he felt that he was excited.

Lin Chen smiled and expressed his understanding.

The person responsible for the test data will report the measured data.

Regardless of whether the main engine is parked or reversed, all data tests show excellent condition.

Lin Chen looked at the data in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

Deng Xu also understood: "This speed is really fast!"

"Well, after following the formal procedures and preparing the detailed information, the aircraft carrier can be delivered to the Eastern Theater Command." Lin Chen said.

They completed part of the work and the aircraft carrier was docked again.

The sky also gradually darkened.

A new day began, and Lin Chen's shipyard welcomed several guests. Lin Xuejun and Tong Shichen appeared together.

This sudden visit forced Lin Chen to rush out of the main engine room in the aircraft carrier. Deng Xu also just ran over from another direction to report.

Tong Shichen smiled and said to Lin Chen: "Boss Lin, this is amazing. This aircraft carrier is beyond our imagination."

Lin Chen's tone was not smooth. He said, "When did our Eastern Theater Command come to visit so suddenly? If you don't know, you might think you are here for a surprise inspection!"

Lin Xuejun was about to explain with a smile when he heard Lin Chen say again: "Do you have any special ideas about our work here, so you use this method?"

Everyone present could hear that Lin Chen was not very happy at the moment.

Lin Chen, who was able to build such a huge machine in a short period of time, naturally became the object of everyone's attention.

At this time, Lin Chen's state made Tong Shichen quickly put away his previous jokes. He quickly said to Lin Chen: "We were not thoughtful enough. We didn't have any plans before. We just wanted to take a look when we passed by. There was definitely no inspection as Boss Lin said."

Lin Xuejun also said: "That's right, we have received reports on the progress of this aircraft carrier, there is no need to come here to inspect in this way."

Seeing that Tong Shichen and Lin Xuejun both said this, Lin Chen would not give up. He also smiled and said, "Then you two came at the right time. This time we are going to do the first ejection experiment, and it's just right for you to come and be a witness!"

So, everyone followed Lin Chen to the deck runway. This aircraft carrier uses electromagnetic catapult technology, and the loaded fighter jets are ready.

Lin Chen introduced to Tong Shichen: "Electromagnetic catapult is a technology and equipment currently used by a few aircraft carriers. In addition to electromagnetic catapults, we also have electromagnetic arresting devices, which are very helpful for the takeoff and landing of fighter jets."

Tong Shichen already knew the various features of this aircraft carrier, but he was still shocked when he heard Lin Chen's introduction.

After Lin Chen gave the order, the first plane took off quickly. Unlike steam catapults, aircraft using electromagnetic catapults can take off vertically directly, while steam catapults require a ski-jump deck.

Tong Shichen watched the plane take off vertically and soar into the sky. He couldn't help but applaud and sighed: "This is the development of our Huaxia country, and it is also the glory of our Huaxia country! In the future, Huaxia will definitely become stronger and stronger!"

Lin Chen also nodded in approval, a rare solemn look on his face. Everyone looked up at the plane flying in the sky.

After receiving the new order, the plane landed again. The electromagnetic arresting device installed directly allowed the plane to land smoothly. After this series of actions were completed, everyone present cheered and applauded.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Chen. The soldiers' eyes were full of admiration, and Tong Shichen, who was involved in politics, showed an approving look. As soon as the test flight was over, Tong Shichen walked towards Lin Chen and asked, "Is it almost over?"

Lin Chen smiled and responded: "After all the painting work is completed today, the aircraft carrier can be towed to the military port of the military district tomorrow."

"So fast?" Lin Xuejun asked in surprise. The painting work could be completed in one day, which was beyond everyone's expectation. You know, this is an aircraft carrier that is more than 300 meters long and nearly 80 meters wide. It needs to be painted inside and out, but it only takes one day.

Facing Lin Xuejun's surprise, Lin Chen remained calm. "Of course, I will report the details to the military region tomorrow." He explained that he still needed to spend some time measuring and ensure that all the data was accurate before handing it over to the military.

Tong Shichen was very satisfied with Lin Chen's performance. He didn't know how many times he had clapped, nor how many times he nodded. Before leaving, he patted Lin Chen on the shoulder again and again and praised him: "Lin Chen, Boss Lin, you really deserve credit!"

Lin Chen responded modestly: "In fact, everyone in every link of our team is a part of this big project. If we talk about heroes, everyone is a hero!"

Tong Shichen looked at Lin Chen with even greater admiration, and his appreciation for his ability turned into respect for his character. Then, he took Lin Xuejun away, leaving Lin Chen and Deng Xu to finish the work.

When Deng Xu and all the soldiers officially left work to have dinner, Lin Chen did not follow. He stayed where he was and called out the system. "System, I now need the special coating materials that I ordered last time, and the coating drawings are also required!" he ordered.

"Received." The system responded quickly.

"Ding, master, please check!" With a prompt sound, all the things he needed appeared in Lin Chen's mind, including the drawings of graded painting.

After the painting and all the tests were completed, the "Chaoyang" aircraft carrier was finally towed to the military port of the Eastern Theater Command. Lin Chen also went there. He saw that the navy soldiers were ready to go, in neat formation, ready to enter the "Chaoyang" aircraft carrier.

The initial inspection of the aircraft carrier has been completed, and the next step is the real sea trial. During this process, any minor problems will be discovered in time and repaired and improved.

Although Lin Chen was not from the military region, he was arranged to sit next to Tong Shichen. He met the leader he had met last time again - Liu Dingcang. Liu Dingcang had high hopes for this aircraft carrier trial.

"I hope that our China's first aircraft carrier in the true sense can successfully complete its sea trials and enter naval training as soon as possible to defend our country!" Liu Dingcang's words were powerful and aroused strong resonance among the soldiers.

"The trial voyage was a success! Defend our country!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and the slogans shook the sky. Lin Chen stood beside Tong Shichen and silently chanted in his heart, fearing that if he really shouted out, he would scare the people around him.

Tong Shichen looked at the aircraft carrier draped with ribbons in front of him and said to Lin Chen: "The last aircraft carrier was officially put into service just one month after the sea trial, and there were no defects."

After hearing this, Lin Chen said proudly: "That's what I should do!"

"Boss Lin, you are the only one who dares to make such a guarantee. Aircraft carriers are different from other equipment. They have many parts and various devices. It is really rare to ensure that there are no tiny flaws in every place!"
