Chapter 3343 Buy an aircraft carrier and study it (Part 2)
"Commander, General Peng, I'm really alright!"
"Look, it's really inconvenient to have you two come all this way..."
Yang Xiaotao looked at the two people sitting on the hospital bed beside him in the ward, feeling a little embarrassed.
I made a blunder myself; who knew these two would show up despite their busy schedules?
What an honor!
Yang Xiaotao was deeply moved and quickly poured tea for the two of them.
"I just finished a meeting with Lao Peng, and we happened to be passing by, so we stopped by to take a look."
"I heard that your illness is still under observation?"
"If you're sick, you need to get it checked out properly; you can't let it leave a lasting problem!"
Old Chen spoke earnestly, and President Peng nodded in agreement, "Yes, this is no small matter."
Yang Xiaotao quickly shook his head, "No, no."
"I'm really healed now, and I feel energetic all over."
"You won't believe me, just look."
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao walked around on the ground a couple of times, almost doing a one-handed push-up.
Yesterday, because of the system reward, he slept for half a day. When he woke up, it was almost evening. Seeing Ran Qiuye by his side, Yang Xiaotao thought about leaving the hospital.
Others may not know my situation, but I know it myself, right?
Besides, the doctors have examined me several times and haven't said anything wrong.
So Yang Xiaotao wanted to go home.
As a result, not only Ran Qiuye objected, but Lao Hu, who was on duty at the hospital, also objected.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotao asked Lao Hu to have another check-up, and if everything was fine, he could be discharged from the hospital.
As a result, Lao Hu took Yang Xiaotao's pulse, examined his tongue and eyes, and after a long and complicated process, he concluded that Yang Xiaotao should stay in the hospital for observation. Yang Xiaotao was so angry that he wanted to ask this guy how he became an eighth-level master chef.
Can't you tell if someone is sick or not?
In the end, at Ran Qiuye's insistence, they stayed one more night.
However, Yang Xiaotao still told Ran Qiuye to go home and rest, saying that he was fine here and there were doctors and nurses, so there was no need for her to stay here.
After much persuasion, including mentioning that the child needed care, Ran Qiuye was finally allowed to go home and rest.
After a night's sleep, Yang Xiaotao prepared to be discharged from the hospital early in the morning.
He wasn't going to follow the normal procedures; he'd just open the door and leave.
Could the security guards at the gate stop him?
To my surprise, I ran into these two right at the door as soon as I opened it.
Upon learning the purpose of their visit, Yang Xiaotao was stunned again!
Old Chen coughed lightly, then looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "It's unacceptable to conceal one's illness and avoid seeking medical treatment."
"My opinion is to wait and see. If you're exhausted, it means your body has reached its limit. You're still young, and you can't afford to have any health problems later on!"
Yang Xiaotao immediately shook his head upon hearing this, "Boss, it's precisely because I'm young that my body recovers so quickly. Don't worry, I'm absolutely fine!"
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao patted his chest, looking like he was very strong!
Old Chen shook his head, "Just rest properly when I tell you to. I've seen you slacking off plenty of times before!"
Yang Xiaotao was speechless.
Is reading books on weekdays considered being lazy?
I was just trying to earn credits, how is that being lazy?
"Boss, I really have something to attend to. The operating system for the Jiaoyang 75 computer has been delayed long enough; I need to get back to take charge..."
Mr. Chen and Mr. Peng exchanged a glance, knowing that Yang Xiaotao was still concerned about his work!
He was very satisfied.
But the more this is the case, the more seriously they must take it.
There is only one Yang Xiaotao, and at least for now, there is no one in China who can replace him.
This precious child must never be allowed to have this happen again.
You know, this guy slept for a full thirty hours.
He's still a young man.
This shows how exhausted they were.
Then Peng said, "I know you're in a hurry, but a revolution isn't accomplished in a day!"
"Didn't we say before that we've been dragging this out? Well, one more day won't make a difference."
"Peng, I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, I'll go for a run and you'll see..."
Yang Xiaotao was getting anxious. Lying here like this would ruin even a healthy person!
"Look at you, you said you were fine, but now you're about to go for a run."
Old Chen stood up abruptly and said, "I need someone to check his head, just in case there are any lasting effects!"
President Peng also stood up, "He should be fine mentally, but it's still good to make sure!"
Then the two looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Alright, relax and stay for the day!"
"We're leaving now. Don't push yourself so hard in the future. Young people need to have some energy. It's much better to see a movie or go out for a drive!"
After saying that, Chen and his companion left the room without giving Yang Xiaotao a chance to speak.
As the door closed, Yang Xiaotao sat helplessly on the bed.
"Mr. Yang, please don't hesitate to call me if you need anything!"
Shan Daren walked in from outside, wearing a white coat, with a smug smile on his face.
"If you're really feeling bored, you can go out for a walk!"
"Don't even try!"
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao lay down on the hospital bed and said, "You guys are really bad. If I go out, you might say something about affecting my treatment."
"If things go wrong, we might have to stay another day!"
"I'd rather go to sleep!"
He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Shan Daren shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this, "How could that be? We're just thinking about your health!"
"Oh, by the way, Dean Ji also mentioned that since you've been staying here for so long, he asked if you'd like to inspect the work..."
"Get out of here!"
"Oh, good!"
With that, Shan Daren quickly turned around and left, closing the door behind him.
Yang Xiaotao turned to look out the window, then called Xiaowei to stand guard at the door.
The next second, he took out the book that Mr. Qian had given him from the system space and started reading.
Since we can't get out, let's do something we can do.
Old Chen and General Peng left the ward together, exchanging words in hushed tones as they walked out.
"The league hasn't given up yet?"
President Peng nodded. "This was incredibly exciting, especially since we intercepted the data on the balloon. They're resentful, but there's nothing they can do!"
"So they're trying to take advantage of us!"
"What about you?"
President Peng looked at Old Chen, and the two slowed their pace.
Old Chen shook his head, "Too many things, too many to say!"
"However, overall it's not bad."
He laughed as he spoke, "At least exports are better than last year!"
Mr. Peng's eyes lit up. "So, next year's finances will be a bit easier?"
Old Chen immediately became alert. "Old Peng, you're not thinking of increasing the budget, are you?"
"Let me tell you, there's no room for negotiation on this. Last year, you guys overspent on that fleet and aircraft carrier thing. We're already being generous by giving it to you this year."
"Don't even think about trying this again!"
Old Chen spoke solemnly, but President Peng was not easily dismissed. He retorted directly, "What do you mean by 'making a move'? You're acting like some kind of wealthy landlord."
"Didn't you hear about it?"
"India has actually bought an aircraft carrier; this is definitely not a good thing!"
"Isn't this because we're in a hurry?"
Old Chen stopped in his tracks. "Old Peng, we've discussed this matter. What kind of aircraft carrier can compare to ours?"
"Our Emperor Wu of Han is a nuclear-powered, large aircraft carrier. Even if you gave them two, they still couldn't compare, let alone the carrier-based aircraft!"
"Don't bring that up!"
After saying that, he added, "Don't go looking for the one inside either; this is for his own good!"
Just as Boss Peng was thinking of following the same path as last year and asking the Ninth Department for help, Old Chen bluntly saw through his plan, leaving him speechless.
"But let me ask you something: when exactly will your title of Emperor Wu of Han be finalized?"
Faced with Mr. Chen's persistent questioning, Mr. Peng was also somewhat embarrassed!
"Well, maybe next year!"
"Yes, as early as next year!"
Old Chen's expression suddenly sharpened. "Or will it be postponed again?"
"You have no idea how much the entire country's development has been hampered by this ship—so much steel, so many workers, electricity, and consumables…"
"Can you actually make it?" "When will you make it?"
Faced with Mr. Chen's questioning, Mr. Peng was somewhat at a loss for words. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Next year, at the latest next year!"
After saying this, he didn't dare look at Old Chen and turned to leave quickly.
As I drove back to my office, my chief of staff walked in behind me.
"President Peng, this is the message we just received!"
Mr. Peng took the phone and casually asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's about the situation on Nato Island!"
"This time, they want to buy a satellite!"
"Nonsense!"
President Peng threw the documents on the table with a cold expression.
He had been keeping a close eye on the situation on that island, and he was well aware of its importance.
Otherwise, Li Guanghao wouldn't have been left there all this time.
Moreover, during this period, we have been sending supplies there, assigning personnel, and strengthening infrastructure.
But now it seems that people's hearts are fickle.
What qualifications do they have to buy it?
General Peng sneered, while the chief of staff beside him looked grave. "There must be other countries involved behind this."
Mr. Peng nodded silently after listening.
During this period, the two most stimulated are the United States and the Alliance.
The United States Reconnaissance Alliance's balloon was shot down by their own side.
That's like offending two people at once.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly good words the alliance speaks on the surface; who knows what dirty tricks they're up to behind the scenes.
Mr. Peng turned around and asked, "It's not unusual; this kind of thing happens all the time."
What happened there?
The chief of staff nodded. "It seems we sent too many people; quite a few felt threatened!"
"Moreover, the United States fleet seems to be operating in a certain sea area."
Boss Peng snorted coldly, "I knew these rotten apples were up to no good!"
"Let the Weiqing take the second and third ships with it!"
"Consider it a training exercise; it'll be a good opportunity for the Persian sailors to get some experience!"
The chief of staff immediately nodded, "Yes, understood!"
"and many more!"
After a moment of contemplation, General Peng called out to the Chief of Staff, "Tell the comrades on the island that Tu Island is different from Zhemengxiong!"
"They're on our side!"
"So just put their minds at ease. We'll take care of anything that happens!"
"Yes!"
The chief of staff immediately nodded and then left.
Mr. Peng sat in the chair, his brows furrowing, relaxing, and then furrowing again!
The international situation is turbulent and unpredictable.
Some time ago, news came from Persia that India was making a lot of noise.
This time, they even purchased a Centaur-class ship, the Hermes, from Britain.
Regardless of whether India can form a combat capability, they do indeed have an aircraft carrier.
With an aircraft carrier, we can launch attacks and defend our long coastline.
After a moment's thought, Mr. Peng picked up the phone.
……
Shanghai shipyard.
In the dock, a ship over 300 meters long is under urgent construction. Workers are like ants, constantly busy around the hull, and sparks can be seen from time to time.
"Engineer Shao, when will the deck be completed?"
Looking at the design drawings, Wan Han, the shipyard's chief designer, asked the engineer beside him a question.
"We have accelerated the construction schedule and expect to complete it by the end of the year!"
"End of the year?"
Wan Han frowned. "Only the deck will be completed by the end of the year?"
"No, this pace won't do!"
After saying this, Wan Han had someone put the design drawings away, and then solemnly said, "The factory manager just called me and said that General Manager Peng asked about our project progress."
"The voice sounded very anxious."
"The original plan was to deliver it this year, but now that we've explained the difficulties, they've given us an extension. But we can't keep delaying it like this."
Upon hearing this, Engineer Shao gave a wry smile, "Mr. Wan, we're already working overtime!"
"The comrades also want to finish it quickly, but only a few experienced craftsmen have mastered this technique!"
What do you suggest we do?
Upon hearing this, Wan Han was also helpless.
Building an aircraft carrier is not something that can be done with just blueprints.
The layout and internal structure of an aircraft carrier can be obtained from the Enterprise model.
But these are all hardware.
However, an aircraft carrier needs more than just hardware; it also requires sufficient instruments and equipment, as well as sufficient software.
Just like key structures such as the steam catapult base, arresting gear, and landing aid system, they need to be combined to make the aircraft carrier a working ship.
These things are all on the model, and they also learned from it about the function of the relevant instruments and their placement.
But now we know these devices are useless because they're not available in China.
And this deck, in the model it's just a layer of iron plate, but in reality it's different.
They learned the tricks of the trade by learning from their mistakes and failures.
"Let's list out the difficulties again, prioritize them, and ask our comrades back home for help."
There was nothing else to be done, so Wan Han finally made the suggestion, but Engineer Shao, who was standing to the side, shook his head.
"Keep listing them, it's useless."
"We sent out our request for help last year, hoping that other departments could lend a hand."
"But what about now?"
Wan Han knew the situation without Shao Gong saying anything.
The task was sent to a multi-task collaboration platform, but none of them were completed.
"Let's put everything else aside for now and just talk about this steam catapult."
"Without this thing, our planes wouldn't be able to take off, but look at us now?"
"What can we do if we can't even make a steam-powered catapult cylinder?"
As Engineer Shao grumbled, Wan Han listened silently.
Only after Engineer Shao finished speaking did Wan Han say, "There are always more solutions than problems."
"Besides, our country's science and technology have developed rapidly in recent years."
"Just because something couldn't be done before doesn't mean it can't be done now."
How will you know if you don't try?
After hearing this, Engineer Shao said nothing more and simply followed Wan Han's instructions.
I just realized that there might be many, many problems that come up.
He knew a little about the situation in China, and he knew that resolving these problems in a short time would be impossible unless...
"Mr. Wan."
Suddenly, Engineer Shao spoke, pulling Wan Han back to reality, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Wan, look, now we know the layout of an aircraft carrier and what is needed to build one."
"But we've never seen how these things are made before."
Wan Han raised an eyebrow, not understanding what the other person meant.
So, I think...
"The best way is to find an aircraft carrier and study it."
When Engineer Shao shared his thoughts, Wan Han immediately shook his head, "Come on, these days, who has an aircraft carrier that they'd let outsiders go aboard to study?"
Even if you go up there, you won't see anything good.
Mr. Shao just smiled and then said with his head down, "If we can't find one, then we can always buy one."
"Ok?"
"Buy an aircraft carrier?"
Engineer Shao nodded vigorously, and a glint also flashed in Wan Han's eyes.
