The aircraft carrier that was supposed to have caused countless shocking waves actually arrived in China like this.

In order to curb Russia's re-emergence, the Americans put huge pressure on Russia, which had nothing to do with the matter, and Russia is still kept in the dark. No matter how they investigate, they cannot figure out the specific situation of the aircraft carrier.

Moreover, it is not easy for the United States to stop this aircraft carrier from reaching the Communist Youth City of Russia.

The aircraft carrier was towed north by a towboat, with the Fulongzhi and undetectable submarines escorted. The warships stationed in Japan did not dare to force confront the Russian warships too much.

The shadow left by the Soviet Red Navy on them made the American personnel dare not go too far. In the end, for the interests of the United States and for the strategic balance of Asia, China's technological development speed was delayed. This aircraft carrier turned from north to north to enter the Bohai Sea on the edge of China's Yellow Sea...

Things went so smoothly, almost no one expected it.

Including Liu Yijiu and others.

Even if it is surprised, or otherwise, it does not affect the aircraft carrier's entry into the dock of 100,000 tons quickly and according to the original plan.

"Now that the aircraft carrier has been obtained, I hope everyone can seize the time and launch it within the specified time!" Liu Yijiu looked at a group of people related to the aircraft carrier and said with a serious expression, "This is a huge challenge. It is not only our naval equipment manufacturing technology, but also the development of our entire system over the years. As long as it can be manufactured quickly, in the future, we will have the ability to make up for the shortcomings of our national defense."

"Director Liu, what happened to the carrier-based aircraft..." Ai Guoxiu asked Liu Yijiu tentatively.

"You don't have to consider the matter of carrier-based aircraft. The J-11B, which has been upgraded from J-11, is already undergoing prototype trial production. At the same time, the J-11 improved single-engine light fighter will be considered on board the ship..." Carrier-based aircraft and supporting facilities are all major problems, and Liu Yijiu does not want any problems.

If you have an aircraft carrier shell and no carrier-based aircraft, that's completely nonsense.

No one expected that the aircraft carrier would start so quickly. At present, it is responsible for manufacturing large warships in the Northern Shipyard, which has become the number one warship manufacturing unit in China.

The most exciting thing was Wu Donghao. Liu Yijiu was worried that he would have a conflict with the warship technicians from the Soviet Union, so he found Wu Donghao after the meeting, "What do you think about the personnel of the aircraft carrier chief engineer?"

Wu Donghao didn't understand what Liu Yijiu meant, "Director Liu, you have never mentioned the candidate for chief engineer at the meeting, you..."

Not to mention that Wu Donghao doesn’t understand Liu Yijiu and the Ninth Academy’s thoughts, others don’t know either. The candidate for the position of chief engineer is very important.

The Northern Shipyard is not affiliated with the Ninth Courtyard. After so many years of cooperation between the two parties, there has been no major changes in the management staff of the Northern Shipyard.

The Northern Shipyard and the relevant personnel from the Navy Department had no objection to such a matter. They were eager to participate in the design and manufacturing of such large warships and national heavy weapons.

Now that the most critical candidate for the total worker has not been determined, he has to worry.

"My personal idea is that we are a person from home, and we are responsible for the dispatch of this aspect together with Makarov. Although Makarov had let us know about our supporting units and manufacturing units before, it was not very thorough. After all, some units could not be completely open to them..." Liu Yijiu said, looking at Wu Donghao, who looked calm in front of him.

Makarov, originally the Black Sea Shipyard, Liu Yijiu took a lot of effort to persuade the old man to agree to come to China.

The condition that made the old man most moved at that time was to agree to let him continue to be responsible for the construction of the Ulyanovsk.

"Director Liu, I understand what you mean. Makarov's experience in this area is indeed much richer than ours. I don't think anyone has any objection to him as the chief engineer." How could Wu Donghao not understand Liu Yijiu's thoughts?

Liu Yijiu looked at him and shook her head.

Wu Donghao didn't understand what he meant.

"In terms of aircraft carrier design, personnel from the Soviet Union accounted for one-third, and in terms of management, there were also a large number. These different personnel were assigned to relevant shipyards. Makarov was responsible for coordination, and there was no problem at all." Wu Donghao didn't understand Liu Yijiu's idea, "If people from our side were the chief engineers and took up their posts, it would be difficult to convince the Soviets."

Wu Donghao does not want any disputes during the construction process.

There is not much experience in building large warships in China, and almost everything starts from scratch. Even the transformation of Iowa-class battleships only accelerates after the Soviets arrived.

The managers and technicians of both sides continued to work together in this process, and there were still many disputes. The main reason was that neither side was convinced by each other.

"I mean, the two chief engineers and deputy chief engineers also consider that Makarov will coordinate the former Soviet technicians, and our engineers will coordinate various domestic units. I think you are more suitable for this candidate from China." Liu Yijiu sighed and said to Wu Donghao in front of him.

His words were completely unexpected by Wu Donghao.

Since the initial cooperation, any project, whether it is the chief designer or the chief engineer, is completely controlled by personnel in the Ninth Hospital system. It is impossible for other people who are not internal personnel of the Ninth Hospital.

The aircraft carrier is such a big project and such a great political achievement!

"Director Liu, this..." Wu Donghao didn't know how to answer.

He was worried that Liu Yijiu was a test, and he was even more worried that Liu Yijiu was given a sugar-coated cannonball to allow him to continue working with peace of mind.

"In terms of battleship transformation, although you did not serve as chief engineer, you were doing the chief engineer. The Ninth Academy did not have senior management personnel in these aspects. Even if there were, it would be difficult to take into account this side." Liu Yijiu grinned, "Don't think too much. I hope that our aircraft carrier could be launched into the water during the military parade in the 99th century."

For this goal, Liu Yijiu can say that he doesn't think about anything.

If people from the Ninth Hospital forcefully intervene, it will be difficult to complete it within two years.

The former Soviets all belonged to the Ninth Academy system, and their identities themselves are a bit embarrassing. If they are held responsible here, some problems will be more likely to arise.

In any case, Liu Yijiu would not want such a thing to happen.

Wu Donghao was ecstatic and did not expect that Liu Yijiu would agree to let him take the position of chief engineer. He thought that Liu Yijiu would let Mai Dongyue of the Institute 701 be responsible. Now the hanging stone has fallen to the ground, so he immediately promised Liu Yijiu seriously, "Director Liu, please rest assured, I will use my best efforts to ensure that our project is completed within the specified time!"

Regarding Wu Donghao's assurance, Liu Yijiu nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, he went to find Makarov with Wu Donghao, Ai Guoxiu and others.

When Makarov saw Liu Yijiu, his eyes were flashing with an unusual light, "Liu, the aircraft carrier is finally back!"

Before this, although Makarov had come into contact with China's warship manufacturing industry, compared with the former Soviet Union's huge manufacturing capabilities and many supporting factories, China's other aspects were not much different in terms of technology, and other aspects were not comparable to the Soviet Union.

Although he said that production needs to be expanded in any aspect, China began to expand. On the surface, everything is working hard for aircraft carrier manufacturing, in fact, he knows better than anyone else how much money is needed to build an aircraft carrier.

Liu Yijiu promised that he would continue to build aircraft carriers. What he was moved by was also the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that he had not completed at the Black Sea Shipyard.

But after coming to China for several years, no one has ever talked about the aircraft carrier plan. Expanding production scale, technological upgrades, etc. is not just for the purpose of manufacturing aircraft carriers, but China has at least two other large-scale warship manufacturing projects, such as 0.55 million-ton destroyers, and missile battleship renovations at the Northern Shipyards.

China is many times smaller than the Soviet Union's manufacturing scale. All large warships basically use a manufacturing system, which makes him feel a little hopeless.

The moment he saw the Ulyanovsk, which he had eaten, lived and slept for several months, was dragged into the port and then into the dock, the whole person became excited.

This Chinese didn't lie to him.

After dealing with other Chinese units for several years, he was worried again that the construction of this aircraft carrier should be the responsibility of the Chinese. Can they continue?

"Mr. Makarov, what I promised has been done. Moreover, over the years, our supporting facilities have been completed, and the rest is your business..." Liu Yijiu said with a smile when he saw the expression on the old man's face.

"Don't worry, as long as I give me enough rights, I have the confidence to let the Ulyanovsk re-launch in five years!" Makarov said to ask for rights.

When Paiguoxiu, Wu Donghao and others heard this time, they couldn't help but look at Liu Yijiu with a wry smile.

They could not refute Liu Yijiu, but Makarov was a top expert in this area.

In two years, they thought it was impossible.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yijiu became serious and said to Makarov, "No, you only have two years. This aircraft carrier must be launched before the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1999! Of course, I am not referring to just asking for forced launch and then various problems, but installing it after launching!"

"This is impossible!" Makarov immediately widened his eyes, shook his head and said to Liu Yijiu.

For an aircraft carrier, all the systems on it have been removed. Even if the power system, anchor machine, anchor chain, propeller and so on are unusable. Just a shell is more difficult than remanufacturing, especially the original design has been improved a lot. It is completely impossible to manufacture and launch it in two years.

"In our China, there will be no impossible things!" Liu Yijiu ignored these things. Although it seemed very nervous in two years, it was completely feasible after many arguments and reasoning.

Moreover, it is not the kind of international joke that the third brother's next door forced the aircraft carrier to be launched when it was not fully built, and the last aircraft carrier was launched and not able to sail after several years of construction, and it is even more impossible to fit it.

"Liu, I know your eagerness. We also prefer this powerful warship to be able to swim in the sea as soon as possible... However, aircraft carriers are not small warships, and all kinds of supporting facilities and the demand for manufacturing capabilities are very high!" Makarov shook his head. He felt that Liu Yijiu was crazy. He turned to Wu Donghao and said, "Wu, you should be clear about the time issue and tell him that this is impossible..."

Makarov believes that some people are slight in their words, and Wu Donghao and others know the inside story, and hope that they will help them persuade Liu Yijiu together.

Manufacturing of aircraft carriers is not a small matter. Time is too tight and problems are prone to occur in the end.

Wu Donghao had communicated with Liu Yijiu before. When Ai Guoxiu came back, he gave him a vaccination. No other projects proposed by Liu Yijiu could not be completed. Now Liu Yijiu proposed that the aircraft carrier will be completed in two years and then launched into the water. It would definitely not be taken for granted.

So, I could only shake my head at this old Soviet man helplessly.

What Liu Yijiu decided on is difficult to change. Once he is dissatisfied with it, the entire project may eventually be cancelled. The military senior officials initially said that no matter whether there are difficulties or not, or how big the difficulties are, they must cooperate with the Ninth Academy.

This is all because the military hopes that the Ninth Academy’s project will stimulate the upgrading and development of the domestic naval equipment manufacturing industry.

"Mr. Makarov, I know this is difficult. However, over the years you should be aware of the development of our naval equipment manufacturing industry. Two years is indeed relatively small compared to an aircraft carrier, but a large part of this aircraft carrier has been built. You only need to transform the areas that need to be modified in the design and then replace the various systems that have been installed. The power system, spindle, etc. are about to be manufactured!" Liu Yijiu took a deep breath, "If it is 8 hours a day, it does take many years. However, there are 24 hours a day!"

"Humans are not machines. Even if the machine is running for a long time, it needs to be shut down for maintenance!" Makarov's eyes widened.

"Eight hours and three shifts!" Wu Donghao knew what he had planned when he heard Liu Yijiu's words. There will be no holidays in the entire construction process, and the workers will have rest, but no project progress can be delayed because of the workers' rest.
Chapter completed!
