Heavy aircraft carriers use nuclear power, and only nuclear power can provide enough power. No matter how good Ye Chen made the gas turbine, it would be impossible to use it on a heavy aircraft carrier.

"Hehe." Elder Tang smiled, and said, "Xiaoye, you are right. Heavy aircraft carriers need to use nuclear power, but have you ever thought about it? What about 'guards with knives'? You can't use nuclear power, right?"

Ye Chen was stunned, and said: "I forgot this, but I am still a military fan, this is common sense."

The aircraft carrier is a sharp weapon in naval warfare. Since its inception, it has been valued by all countries, and huge sums of money have been invested in the construction of the aircraft carrier. Rather than saying that an aircraft carrier is a battleship, it is better to say that it is a sea combat base.

The aircraft carrier is very large, equivalent to a small piece of land that can move, it can accommodate dozens of aircraft to take off and land, it can provide enough ammunition, and it also has strong combat command capabilities.

Therefore, it is not enough to have an aircraft carrier, and a powerful "guard with a knife" is needed. These guards with knives, one is to protect the aircraft carrier, and the other is to execute the combat orders of the aircraft carrier to attack the enemy.

It is precisely because of this that the aircraft carrier will not go out alone with the aircraft carrier, but will act together with a group of warships.

These escorts with knives have a displacement of several thousand tons, some tens of thousands of tons, and many more than 10,000 tons. For example, our country is now building large ships of more than 10,000 tons.

This requires strong power. Ye Chen made such a big commotion, isn't this exactly what a heavy aircraft carrier formation needs?

Think about it, if Ye Chen can really double the performance of the gas turbine, that is, all-round improvement, greater power, and faster speed, it means that the strength of the guards with knives will have a leap.

We all know that aircraft carriers are fast. It is precisely because it is so fast that it is very difficult to hit an aircraft carrier with a ballistic missile, and it is difficult to lock it. The threshold of this technology is very high. The former Red Empire wanted to overcome this technology, but had to give up because it was too difficult. In the end, our country conquered it and became the only country in the world with anti-ship ballistic missiles.

If the speed of those guards with knives can't keep up, how can they cooperate with the aircraft carrier?

Ye Chen has greatly improved the performance of the gas turbine, which allows the aircraft carrier battle group to have a faster speed and can rush to the battlefield faster.

Our ancestors said that soldiers are expensive and fast! This is not only true of land warfare, but also of naval warfare.

Not to mention, if the power is enough and the speed is fast enough, the aircraft carrier can bring large-scale supplementary ships, which makes the aircraft carrier battle group's endurance stronger and its combat power stronger.

For example, the 50,000-ton supply ship built by our country,

If an aircraft carrier brings one or two ships, what will happen? Anyone can figure out what the consequences will be.

After being reminded by Elder Tang, Ye Chen understood that this time, just like the last time he worked on the intelligent driving system, there was another big trouble unintentionally.

The last time Ye Chen worked on the intelligent driving system, he just wanted to drag the car, but it involved the intelligent combat command platform. This time, he just wanted to capture Commander Lei and cooperate with the military to produce gas turbines, but it made our country's ship level jump a lot.

"The reason why I can come is because the chief estimated that with your character, you will make trouble, as expected." Elder Tang looked at Ye Chen with some teasing.

Ye Chen wasn't making a fuss, but he was so bewitched that he even pulled the military over to cooperate with him.

"The chief is wise." Ye Chen was a little embarrassed, and his rare old face flushed.

"My task is to coordinate the military-local relationship," Tang Lao said.

"We are here to cooperate. What kind of talents you need, we will provide as much as possible." Song Hongyu said.

The Science and Technology Commission also has a lot of talents, who may be useful, so he is also indispensable.

"Our patent office is to strictly prevent anyone from reaching out indiscriminately, and to approve your patent application as soon as possible." Liu Zhilong said.

A project as important as a gas turbine generates many patents. If someone stretches out their hands indiscriminately, it will cause a lot of trouble, so Liu Zhilong had to come.

Just as he was talking, Admiral Xiao and the others came in.

Ye Chen saw the relaxed expressions on their faces, and knew that the matter was done and the higher-ups approved it.

Sure enough, after Admiral Xiao and the others sat down, he said, "Xiao Ye, the above has approved it. We can formally cooperate."

This is good news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

We all know that this kind of cooperation is a win-win situation. The military got the technology and products they wanted, and Ye Chen got the chance to make money. He also produced the products in advance that would take N long time to make money with his strength. .

"However, we also ask for it." Admiral Xiao said with a serious face, "First, we must first meet our needs. Then, we can consider civilian use."

It is reasonable for our country to build a blue-water navy and move towards a deep blue, so we need new gas turbines urgently.

"No problem." Ye Chen could understand their thoughts.

Not to mention, civilian gas turbines need to be made into a military version first, and then weakened. Therefore, it is still not a conflict to use military first and then civilian use.

More importantly, the military is also Ye Chen's most important customer, and the largest customer, so it's okay to satisfy them first.

"Secondly, samples must be produced in the shortest possible time, and then products must be produced." Admiral Xiao said again.

This is also understandable, after all, the military needs it very urgently. The country is going to launch a heavy-duty aircraft carrier, and it would be great if the guards with knives could be upgraded.

"How much time do you require?" Ye Chen asked.

"Samples will be produced within three years, and products will be produced within five years." The commander of the navy revealed an amazing message, saying: "If you can do this, we can advance the aircraft carrier plan and manufacture heavy aircraft carriers in advance."

Ye Chenxin said, your requirements are too low, right? do you know? I can come up with the design now, and as soon as the production line arrives, it can be produced. Don't say that the product will be produced in five years, and it will be fine to produce the product in one year.

"This is not something I can count on. It depends on how well you cooperate? When will your equipment talents arrive?" Ye Chen asked.

"We will fully cooperate." Admiral Xiao said: "We have already ordered to transfer talents to Fengzhou. As for the equipment, it will take a while, we have to build the factory building."

People are easy to talk about, and they can come with just one order. However, with the equipment coming, is it useful without a factory building? Therefore, it is still necessary to build a factory building first, and then get equipment.

"In order to catch up with the construction period, we decided to call in a few more engineering teams." Admiral Xiao looked at Ye Chen and said, "Xiao Ye, you are also under construction here. Although the progress is good, we think it is too slow. You need Don’t need my help? By the way, build your factory too?”

What Ye Chen is currently building is mainly a chip factory. The country needs it very urgently, and the military needs it even more urgently. If Ye Chen can fully produce chips earlier, it will be a great benefit to the country and the military.

If you miss this kind of great event delivered to your door, you will be too sorry for yourself, Ye Chen immediately said: "Of course. Then there will be Chief Lao."

"We are cooperating." Admiral Xiao said.

Ye Chenxin said that since there is an engineering team from the military, it might as well build up those that will be needed in the future but not needed now. For example, manufacturing workshops, various material workshops, etc.

The next step is to discuss the R\u0026D team. After discussion, it was finally decided that this research and development team should still be in charge of Chief Engineer Lei. Ye Chen is too busy and has a lot of things to do, so it is impossible to stay here with the gas turbine. Therefore, Ye Chen is also a technical consultant, and his authority is equivalent to Chief Engineer Lei .

As for the location of the R\u0026D team, it will be temporarily placed in the company. The company's office building still has surplus, which can be freed up for their use. Moreover, the giant supercomputing center promised by Ye Chen has not yet been built, and calculations need to be performed here.

Wait until the new office building is repaired, and then move there.

The establishment of the R\u0026D center was completed very quickly under the witness of Admiral Xiao and the others.

Admiral Xiao and the others are very busy with their work, and it is impossible to stay in Fengzhou for a long time. Once the establishment of the R\u0026D center is completed, they will return to Huangchenggen.

As for the subsequent matters, Zhao Bowen and Guo Zifan will be responsible.

The military moved quickly, and someone arrived the next day. This time, it is not the R\u0026D and design team, but the manufacturing and processing team.

Design is just the beginning, more importantly, it must be manufactured. For example, Qiang Liu was quite advanced in design and was at the international advanced level at that time. However, far beyond the level of manufacturing and processing in our country, it can only stay on paper in the end.

Although the design of the gas turbine has just begun, its complexity is astonishing, which is a great test for manufacturing and processing. The military is going to tackle key manufacturing and processing technologies in advance, and use a two-pronged approach. After the design is completed, samples can be manufactured.

The manufacturing and processing team is in charge of an old man in his sixties, surnamed Hao, who is known as Chief Engineer Hao. He used to be in charge of gas turbine manufacturing and processing, and has rich experience in gas turbine production.

When he saw the design of the new gas turbine, he was stunned.

"My God, this performance has already broken through the sky." Director Hao was shocked by the powerful performance of the new gas turbine.

The R\u0026D personnel who came along were also shocked. They had long heard how amazing the new gas turbine was, but after reading the data, they were still shocked.

"Isn't this component too complicated?" A R\u0026D staff of a research team looked at the data and gritted their teeth.

As a senior processing and manufacturing talent for gas turbines, what kind of complicated parts have you never seen before? I have never seen such a complicated part before.

"The precision requirements are too high, several grades higher than the previous ones." Another person found out that the precision requirements are very high, with a look of shock.

Mr. Hao waved his right hand, and said very resolutely: "Complicated, no production? High precision, no production? Let me tell you, no matter how complicated it is or how high the precision requirements are, we have to overcome difficulties and obstacles. We must make a new type of gas turbine. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes." These researchers said with their heads held high.

When Ye Chen joins, this research team will be established. The witnesses were Lieutenant Generals Zhao Bowen and Guo Zifan.

"Xiao Ye, you must give us more ideas." As soon as the research team was established, Chief Engineer Hao took Ye Chen to start researching how to manufacture a new type of gas turbine. (To be continued.)
