Chapter 451: The aircraft carrier is launched!
No matter what extreme situation occurs, everyone has developed response measures.
Before Reagan had even driven very far, we announced some breaking news.
The aircraft carriers code-named Four and Five will be launched on the same day!
"Codename Four uses a conventional power plant, with a full load displacement of 91,600-96,200 tons. The maximum speed is 32 knots, and the cruising range is 20,000 nautical miles. It can carry 58 military aircraft of various types, and the take-off and landing method is electromagnetic catapult launch, arresting and recovery..."
"Codenamed Five, this is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 100,200 to 104,800 tons. Its top speed is 35 knots, and it can cruise for at least 25 to 30 years. It can carry 80 military aircraft of various types, and its take-off and landing method is electromagnetic catapult launch, arresting and recovering..."
In addition to the two new aircraft carriers that are about to be launched, the code-named Three will also officially begin service on the same day.
Each of these pieces of news, taken individually, would be explosive news.
What's more, these three pieces of news were announced together.
Once the news is announced, there won't even be any publicity needed.
Just by relying on word of mouth among the people, it has become the most discussed and unique news on the Internet.
"I never thought that in just one day, we would have two more aircraft carriers. In terms of naval strength, we are getting closer and closer to the Bald Eagle."
"Code Three is in service, Code Four and Code Five are launched. According to our custom, Code Six has already started construction, Code Seven should be ready for construction, Code Eight's blueprints should be completed, Code Nine has completed the demonstration, Code Ten has proposed a plan, and Code Eleven's folder has been created. Now, we have to urge Code Twelve."
"You are really talented. Code Three has just been commissioned, and you are already urging Code Two to come on board. What will the Americans on the other side of the ocean think?"
"Lao Mi is still sleeping, but the Japanese next door have exploded. I guess from now on, they will never dare to interfere in our internal affairs again."
"Keep it up, we can only feel at ease when each province can get an aircraft carrier. Money is not a problem, I am willing to smoke two more packs of cigarettes a day."
Because of the time difference, when this news was announced, most people on the other side of the ocean were indeed asleep.
And when they woke up, they gradually learned this "good" news.
As the saying goes, people may not be able to empathize with each other.
The West was extremely panicked about the fact that the Rabbit suddenly had two more aircraft carriers.
"Provocation! What they are doing is a naked provocation to us!"
The white-haired old man was so angry that he threw the water cup on the table to the ground.
In fact, they had heard that Rabbit was building a new aircraft carrier.
However, they never expected that Rabbit's construction speed could be so fast and that it could complete the construction and testing of two aircraft carriers at the same time in a very short time.
What they could not have imagined was that the "Codename Five" that was about to be launched was actually a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
These sudden news undoubtedly greatly disrupted their rhythm.
"Sir, please don't be angry. Even if our fleet didn't go south, they would have released these news sooner or later."
In comparison, what the bald eagle did was more like a provocation.
The message released by Rabbit was at most a counterattack.
"Fortunately, only Code Four and Code Five were launched. It will take about two years before they are officially put into service. However, even if only Code Three is officially put into service, it will be a big improvement in their maritime strength."
Although Code-named Three is not a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the entire fleet has very strong combat capabilities within the first island chain and has a powerful electromagnetic catapult system.
Just within the first island chain, there will not be much difference compared to a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
"Sir, since the news they released is a response to us, it is inevitable that their actions will be a bit hasty. We can test their strength first, and according to their habits, they will never take action first."
"That's true. In terms of hard power, we have an absolute advantage. In the previous simulation, we also achieved the final victory . No matter what, we must not let them land so easily. Let's continue to act according to the original plan."
…
The launching date of Code Four and Code Five is approaching.
The ceremony for launching the aircraft carrier has also been prepared.
As one of the designers of Code Five, Xu You naturally did not want to miss the launching ceremony of Code Five.
However, due to confidentiality reasons, Xu You cannot appear in public.
According to public statements, Xu Youke is still recuperating in bed in the staff quarters of Jijing University.
In the end, everyone found a compromise.
Xu You can go on the deck of Codename Five, but will not appear in the launching ceremony.
Xu You was very satisfied with the result. After all, just being able to board the deck of Code-named Five was enough to make Xu You proud.
On the day of the launching ceremony of Code Five, Xu You dressed formally and came to the deck of Code Five.
The soldiers from each code-named Fleet formed two neat squares on the deck, exuding a heroic aura.
"The launching ceremony of the codenamed aircraft carrier No. 5 has officially begun!"
As the red flag rose slowly, the audience sang the passionate national anthem.
Due to confidentiality reasons, Xu You was unable to be in the center of the deck and enjoy this supreme honor.
Even so, Xu You still stood upright on the edge of the deck and sang the national anthem with the soldiers.
After the leader finished cutting the ribbon, the champagne bottle hit the bow of the ship and shattered, and the ship sounded its whistle.
Codename Five slowly sailed out of the dock and docked at the pier.
At this time, Xu You could finally fully appreciate the heroic demeanor of Codename Wu.
Even though Xu You was already very familiar with the specifications of Code-named Five, when he actually stood on the deck and looked at it, the shock he felt was indescribable.
Compared with it, humans are so insignificant.
But if you think about it from another perspective, it is indeed incredible that humans can create such a huge thing.
Even the largest creature on earth, the blue whale, is as small as an ant in front of an aircraft carrier.
After the launching ceremony, Xu You, Fan Haisheng and Che Shaozhong returned to the conference room.
"Professor Xu, it's a pity that you couldn't stand in the center with us just now to enjoy this supreme honor." Fan Haisheng said regretfully.
"It's nothing. I've received so many honors. There's no need to commend me every time. By the way, Mr. Fan, I have something else I want to ask you."
