The launch of the No. 003 aircraft carrier was expected by everyone, but it was unexpected by everyone.

Ye Zhou had actually received the news in advance that the No. 003 aircraft carrier was about to be launched, but even he did not expect that the so-called "launching" of the domestic aircraft carrier No. 003 did not just refer to the launch before outfitting, but also after passing through the water. After process optimization, nearly 30% of the dock outfitting work has been advanced to the dock outfitting stage, and limited single-ship sailing can be launched as soon as it is launched.

Of course, being able to sail does not mean that it is necessary to sail. The reason is also very simple. An aircraft carrier without complete outfitting is like a car without a steering wheel, no seats, and no dashboard. Although it can barely go on the road , but safety, comfort, and functionality are all almost equal to 0.

Therefore, the No. 003 aircraft carrier still needs to undergo a long outfitting work, but the outfitting time is much shorter than what the outside world initially guessed - it does not need two years, or even one year, but , 6 months.

This also means that within this year, the No. 003 aircraft carrier can enter the sea trial delivery stage.

This news was first released by the U.S. media. Based on the information provided by the military, they confirmed that the completion of the outfitting of the 003 dock far exceeded expectations. They judged that the outfitting time of the 003 would be greatly shortened, and they gave The judgment is, 9 months.

Subsequently, China's official spokesperson confirmed this information and corrected their judgment.

"We will need about six months - we will try to have everyone eat dumplings with New Year's greetings from the aircraft carrier sailors before next year's Spring Festival."

This response almost detonated the entire international public opinion, and everyone had to accept a reality, that is: China's third aircraft carrier formation is likely to be formed within three years from now.

This time was shortened by half compared to formation 002.

In this regard, Western reports reveal a comic fear.

They no longer criticize the practicality of aircraft carriers, question China's aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft technology, and question whether China's economic level can support an aircraft carrier as they did in the past. Instead, they wrote in the title of the article extremely cautiously and objectively:

The Chinese Navy has broken through the first island chain and is about to move into the deep blue.

Ye Zhou read the AFP report and thought maliciously in his heart:

There are only three aircraft carriers now. What if there are 10 aircraft carriers in the future?

By then, the AFP headline will probably be something like "The supreme heir to the Paris Commune, the Chinese People's Navy arrived in the glorious old revolutionary area of ​​Paris today."

According to the current rate of launching one ship every three years, I will probably still see this report in my lifetime.

After reading the report, Ye Zhou subconsciously opened the comments from netizens. As he expected, the report was already crowded with netizens from all over the world, and their comments were also unique.

The Yindu people are bragging about their Vikrant, which is about to be launched, the Ugly people are showing off their Ford-class, and the Yuan people lament that they have two aircraft carriers but the carrier-based aircraft can only be imported from the Ugly country, and the most refreshing and refined The others were the islanders. They looked down upon this Chinese aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of over 100,000 tons. Instead, they unanimously wrote "いずもがたごえいかん" below, which is their Izumo frigate.

Ye Zhou felt a little helpless. He didn't know where the confidence of these islanders came from. They were able to blow a helicopter destroyer with a displacement of only 27,500 tons to the same height as a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier.

After thinking for a moment, he replied with a message under the comments of those island people.

"Yes, the Izumo is great."

"It's small and very cute."

This sentence completely broke the defenses of those netizens from the island countries, but netizens from all other countries seemed to have suddenly found fun. Ye Zhou's comment was instantly reached the highest level. He watched happily for several minutes before quitting with some unsatisfied feelings. page.

Opposite him, Chen Hao also had a helpless smile on his face.

Seeing Ye Zhou close his phone, he said:

"To be honest, it's only at times like this that I think you're still a young man - you're quite venomous."

"Why am I so cruel? Didn't I praise them? Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me ask you, how are the preparations for the next-generation carrier-based aircraft? I heard the latest news is that it is the J-35?"

Chen Hao nodded slightly and replied:

"The J-15 will transition for a period of time, and eventually it will be replaced by a hybrid of the J-20 and the J-35 - it can be said to be the J-35, but it is the J-35TC, which supports ejection and vertical take-off and landing at the same time. Equipped with turbofan-15 modified version.”

"What's the maximum takeoff weight?"

"It's 47 tons. Anyway, it's still a heavy-duty carrier-based aircraft. It's the same approach as the F-35C."

"That's not bad. Fengfei has realized his shame and become brave. He has two models in succession, from J-16D to J-35TC. Although the gap with Shufei is quite big, they are still ranked among the top five in the world. ”

"Isn't it? Coupled with the commercial use of Qilian engines, it is estimated that their sources of income will not be so tight in the future. Both Fengfei and Northeast China will usher in a huge opportunity. As for whether this opportunity can be seized, it depends on It’s up to them.”

"Don't worry, Fengfei will not miss this opportunity. I always believe that their temporary backwardness is due to various objective reasons, and it is not that their own quality lags behind other regions."

After a pause, Ye Zhou continued:

"Especially after the system of the General Technical Office is established, coupled with the huge changes in the entire official decision-making environment and operating methods, they will be forced to keep up. One day, they will pick up this medal of the Son of the Republic. , re-hung."

"Well, I don't doubt that. There is another detail that I think you will definitely be interested in. Do you want to take a guess? Let me give you a hint, it is related to the aircraft carrier outfitting."

There was a sly smile on Chen Hao's face. Ye Zhou could tell that he might be hiding some surprise, but he couldn't figure it out at the moment.

"Is it related to the outfitting? The power system has been installed, and it will definitely not be temporarily replaced by nuclear power; the radar system has also been determined long ago, and the fixed-wing early warning aircraft has been put on the ship. The electromagnetic gun has been put on the ship? There is no need - difficult Could it be laser anti-missile? But I remember you said this."

"You can't guess, just tell me."

Seeing Ye Zhou's expression, Chen Hao stopped pretending and said directly:

"Actually, you guessed in the wrong direction. I'm not talking about the outfitting equipment, but the outfitting process. Do you know why the outfitting time will be shortened so much this time?"

"Exoskeleton?!"

Ye Zhou keenly grasped the key point. After Chen Hao nodded, his expression showed some uncontrollable surprise.

"Yes. Exoskeleton assistance will be used extensively in this outfitting. According to early test results, worker efficiency can be increased by about 20% to 30% on average, and this 20% efficiency improvement is reflected in the overall process. The optimization effect of process nodes exceeds our expectations."

"So taken together, the efficiency of the entire outfitting process has increased by at least 50%."

"This is the first time we have used exoskeletons on a large scale. It turns out that this thing is not only useful in the military field, but its role in the civilian field cannot be underestimated."

"The idea of ​​improving productivity through basic technology that you proposed before has the most intuitive response here."

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Ye Zhou nodded deeply.

After a pause for a few seconds, he continued to ask:

"So, the use of exoskeletons in this outfit should be a test in the civilian field? What about the military version? When can the exoskeleton based on BCI control be actually equipped?"

"soon."

Looking at Ye Zhou's expectant expression, Chen Hao added:

"Don't worry, what they have, we will also have. And we will do better than them."
