Grandpa, is this the Carra Canal?

In the large study in Sunshine Farm, Li Lu took Haohao and Duoduo to stand in front of a huge sand table, and Haohao pointed at it and asked.

Yes, this is the model of the Kra Canal. Li Lu said with a slight jaw.

This small-scale model was sent by the Gun Group Construction Group. After the design drawings were confirmed, multiple models were immediately made, one of which was given to Li Lu. Others don’t know, but Li Mai knew that if his father had a wish that he had reached, it was the Carla Canal.

Before the completion of the Kra Canal, I would like to give my father a huge model, which is what Li Mai could do.

Grandpa, dad said that the Kara Canal is the longest canal in the world with the strongest navigation ability. Is it true that Haohao is still a child, and there are many questions.

Li Lu stroked Haohao's head and said, yes, after it is completed, the Kara Canal will be the longest and most powerful canal in the world.

Where is Thailand fun? Haohao asked.

Thailand is in the south of us, and there are many fun places and is also a good friend of our country. Li Lu replied that when you are on the winter vacation, you will ask your father to take you to have fun.

How about grandpa, please take me there and take my uncle with you. Li Mai is too busy, and I'm afraid he has no time. Haohao said.

Li Lu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, find some time, grandpa will take you there, Duoduo will go too, okay, Duoduo

OK OK OK Thank you grandpa for saying sweetly.

Haohao stared at the model intently. The boy was born with interest in these things, especially ships, cars, etc. He pointed to the ship on the channel in the model and asked, Grandpa, if these ships were real, how big would they be.

Li Lu glanced at the ships of different sizes and smiled and said, "It depends on the type." Look at this chubby oil tanker, not a cruise ship for sightseeing, but an oil tanker that carries oil. Generally, these oil tankers are 300,000 tons, and the hull is as high as 30 floors, almost 300 meters long.

Wow Haohao and Duoduo both opened their mouths in surprise.

They have no idea about 300,000 tons, and they don’t have a clear idea about 300 meters in length, but they definitely know how high the thirty-story building is, with their necks raised and they can’t see it to the end.

These are freighters. One by one, like building blocks on the deck, is called containers. This kind of ship is also very large, not much smaller than an oil tanker, but the displacement is not that heavy. Li Lu continued.

Duoduo interrupted and asked: Grandpa, what is drainage?

The displacement refers to the weight of the ship itself plus the weight of the cargo loaded. Li Lu answered the question in detail, for example, the displacement of this tanker is 300,000 tons, which means that the combined weight of the oil loaded by the tanker and the tanker is 300,000 tons, rather than the 300,000 tons of oil loaded. Do you understand?

Duoduo nodded, I understand, thank you grandpa

Haohao and Duoduo are both smart children with open thinking and clear logic. It is not a problem to understand such a concept.

Grandpa, dad said, you built the largest aircraft carrier in our navy, right? Haohao suddenly asked.

Li Lu was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, thinking returned to the glorious years of more than twenty years ago in the child's innocent eyes.

He knew that the largest and largest first-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the world, the Hanwudi class, which meets a displacement of more than 110,000 tons and a carrying capacity of more than 120 aircraft, which is the sum of the total number of aviation fighters in many countries.

The Emperor Wu of Han built a total of eight ships, which was also the first domestically produced large-scale nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Together with the original medium-sized conventional-powered aircraft carrier Liaoning built on the basis of Ulyanovsk and Varyag, it formed a powerful naval force with ten aircraft carriers as the core.

When developing the Emperor Wu of Han, many senior executives proposed that as the first domestic nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, they should not have the idea of ​​being a high-end aircraft carrier. First build two or three sub-large aircraft carriers with displacements between 100,000-ton aircraft carriers and 50,000-ton aircraft carriers, and accumulate enough experience before slowly building larger aircraft carriers.

To be honest, this idea is very consistent with the domestic and international conditions at that time, after all, it lacks experience in building large aircraft carriers.

However, no one is more forward-looking than Li Lu.

Large nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are different from other combat ships. When constructing, they need to consider the use of at least thirty years in the next year, rather than based on meeting the combat needs at that time.

In his opinion, instead of spending more money to build a 70,000 ton aircraft carrier with experimental nature, it is better to build a 100,000-ton large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier at one time. Because he knew very well that, judging by the strength of the red shipyard that almost inherited the technical reserve engineering machinery technicians of Nikolasyev's Black Sea Shipyard at that time, it was completely able to directly launch a large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Directly launching a large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier can save a lot of money from the construction of 70,000 ton aircraft carrier tests.

Based on this consideration, Li Lu used a lot of connections at that time. He once met with the big bosses from all sides within one day, and sent the experiment that had gained the upper hand alone, which led to the birth of the Wudi Han Dynasty.

The Red Shipyard did not disappoint his expectations. After the first ship of Han Wudi, the Navy gave him a very high evaluation. According to the estimation system, when equipped with the same escort ship, the combat capability of the Han Wudi-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was 1.5 times that of the US Navy's Nimitz class. At that time, the United States launched the new aircraft carrier Ford class in advance.

The Han Wudi class has been continuously built for more than 20 years. The latest ship, and the last of this class, was officially launched not long ago. According to public information, the combat capability of the Lilu aircraft carrier is 1.5 times that of the first ship, Han Wudi. In other words, the combat capability of the Lilu aircraft carrier completely surpasses the Ford, which is still on the ship platform. The American new aircraft carrier has lagged behind China before it was launched.

There are currently reports that the US Navy intends to suspend the construction of the Ford, either changing the design or redeveloping a new model that can at least be comparable to the Lilu. In short, it is in a dilemma.

The decision Li Lu urged to make back then has suffered a lot after more than twenty years.

The current second domestic aircraft carrier, the new aircraft carrier, has completed its research and development work, and will soon be laid out. It will be a more advanced new generation aircraft carrier. The Americans have been left far behind. If they do not strive to catch up, they can only sit in the face of the world's number one change of ownership.

This may be the goal that Li Lu wanted to drag down the United States with a new arms race.

grandfather

Haohao's call made Li Lu come to his senses. He smiled, touched Haohao's head, and said something that Haohao and Duoduo didn't understand. Grandpa did that back then for you.
