1591 Then we can only have nuclear-powered aircraft carriers (26/30)
Although it can be achieved, it may take a lot of time. At least, it is difficult for us to drag it away now..." Liu Suxue said.
"It doesn't matter, this thing is a shell anyway. However, it's best to get some of their technicians." Liu Yijiu was obviously a little unwilling to accept it.
Just getting a shell is not what he wants.
Otherwise, if these ships go back and design, they will be longer than the first aircraft carrier LN ship of the Republic. At the same time, more ship designers are needed.
But in China, we are still working on 052, 055, and even transformed battleships. Where are so many people working on aircraft carrier designs?
"The main designers over there are not very likely now, but when the Soviet Union collapses, they should be able to make a vote. They have no design tasks at all, and many designers' lives are problems." Liu Suxue's words made Liu Yijiu feel relieved.
China's conditions are definitely much worse than those of Europe and the United States.
But they started early and were very familiar with many technicians.
Therefore, when the Soviet Union collapsed and talented people were recruited, there would be considerable advantages.
"I want to go to the Black Sea Shipyard, is there any way?" Liu Yijiu asked.
"No problem. The Black Sea Shipyard is not confidential for us. Originally, the Ukrainian government wanted to sell the Varyag to us..." Liu Suxue sighed. "The Soviet Union has paid 70% of the payment for the goods, and as long as the remaining 30% can be completely built..."
Hearing this, Liu Yijiu almost vomited an old blood.
A complete ln ship!
So he left him far away.
If he had come a few days earlier, the aircraft carrier might have been able to find a way to stay. At that time, it would be fine to sell Ukraine to Nippodosan or to China. The most important thing is that there is motivation in this!
power!
Or a conventional power system.
This is what China needs most at present.
The problem is, there is no if in this world!
We can’t live without Butcher Zhang, we still have to eat a pig with hair.
Without Varyag, the Republic cannot have LN ships, right?
His aircraft carrier plan is to focus on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Russians. As for whether it is conventional power, that doesn't matter.
Really, although Director Liu said that he would first build a conventional-powered aircraft carrier.
Such a large tonnage and conventionally powered nuclear aircraft carrier is still a bit of that...
"Young Master, Kovirochi, the senior military leader here, wants to talk to you. They are now in a hurry to take some of their weapons and equipment..." All Ukrainian factories can be opened to them, except for factories involving nuclear industry and intercontinental missiles.
"What we need is not weapons and equipment, but their technical information and talents! I think you will know more clearly about this." Liu Yijiu was a little helpless, "Although these weapons and equipment are really cheap, conventional ones are basically not very useful for our country's national defense..."
China implements a defensive strategy. Although these tanks are far cheaper than domestic ones, their performance is not known to be higher than that of the large number of equipment Type 59 main battle tanks.
It must not be introduced to China on a large scale.
"I didn't think about introducing them back. Instead, I took out these tanks, found a place to store them, and then sold them..." Liu Suxue naturally knew this problem.
Once China introduces these tanks on a large scale, it will have a great impact on domestic military manufacturing and R&D systems.
Liu Yijiu will not agree, nor will the national leaders agree.
What you really need is to get some back and conduct reverse research.
"Let's take a look at the situation of their Black Sea shipyard first, and then talk to them. If it can be used, it will be carried out with the subsequent weapons and equipment negotiations. As long as the technicians can be obtained, the price can be increased appropriately. Anyway, they are making money for their own private, not for their country..." Liu Yijiu would never mind spending more money on himself.
Liu Suxue nodded and went out to make arrangements.
Liu Yijiu took a break for a while, took a random bite at noon, and then went to the Black Sea Shipyard with Liu Suxue under the leadership of a colonel.
The Black Sea Shipyard is the largest shipyard in the entire Black Sea region and the largest surface ship shipyard in the Soviet Union.
In this shipyard, there is a huge investment from the Soviet Union over the past few decades. Even in the world's shipbuilding industry, it can rank among the top few.
Large Soviet surface ships and various cruisers were made here.
Liu Yijiu can be said to have long been famous for this shipyard.
Unfortunately, the glorious period of the shipyard has passed, and the history of building several aircraft carriers at the same time will disappear with the collapse of the Soviet Empire.
Since it was lunch time, there were not many people in the shipyard.
Even if the people who stayed here had no one else except a very few people holding potatoes in their hands.
What Liu Yijiu did not expect was that the two celebrities in history, at least, were people who had a deep memory. He saw the real person, who was still waiting for him at the gate of the assembly plant of the Black Sea Shipyard.
According to history, Prime Minister Fujin, who should have retired, brought Prime Minister Leonid Kumachi, who should have been in power!
Kumachi is now in charge of the industry of the entire Ukrainian country. Liu Yijiu knows that if he wants to move things from Ukraine, it will be very important for them, the two people in front of him.
Their attitude will determine Clavchuk's attitude.
After some greetings, both sides did not say much. It seemed that neither of them knew that the Soviet Union had been struggling for a few days.
If you have just come into contact with and have in-depth exchanges, you have to wait until later.
"Mr. Yang, this is Comrade Makarov, the general manager of our Black Sea Shipyard." The colonel, who served as the guide, introduced to both sides.
A bald old man wearing a work clothes full of oil, messy hair, burly figure, but gave people a very vicissitudes of life, was introduced to Liu Yijiu and his group.
"Hello Comrade Makarov!" Hearing this old man who was like a homeless man, Liu Yijiu stepped forward and shook hands with him seriously.
The attitude is much more respectful than the Prime Minister of Ukraine and their Minister in charge of industry.
This is very strange.
Makarov glanced at Liu Yijiu casually, and did not shake hands with him, but said to them lightly, "Come with me..."
Then he walked towards the inside of the factory.
This made Liu Yijiu very embarrassed.
"Mr. Yang, I'm really sorry..." Kumachi quickly apologized to Liu Yijiu, "He is such a person and does not like socializing. In his eyes, he can only make warships..."
"Yes, I just like this kind of person!" Liu Yijiu grinned.
He does like people like this.
Perhaps, this old factory manager should also be brought to China.
Since the Black Sea Shipyard started construction of aircraft carriers, this old man has basically spent it in the factory. Even after the aircraft carrier was launched, he moved his workplace to the aircraft carrier. Many times, he stayed for more than 60 hours and kept arranging work on the ship.
How can such an elderly person not be respected?
It is far more impressive than those politicians.
What's more, Ukrainian politicians don't care about the interests of their country at all.
Liu Yijiu quickly followed the lonely back of the old factory manager in front, and the others also followed.
The Black Sea Shipyard has three docks of 100,000 tons, and water has been stored in Dock No. 0. In other words, the Ulyanovsk, the most top aircraft carrier in the Soviet Union, has been launched.
However, the locks at the dock have not been opened yet, or, this is why the powertrain has not been installed yet.
The entire shipyard is extremely large, with a dock of 100,000 tons, which is even more unimaginable.
On both sides of the largest dock, the two Finnish elevated gantry cranes with a height of 15 meters and a lifting weight of 900 tons stand alone on both sides of the dock.
A heavy crane with a lifting capacity of 1,300 tons stands like a giant, standing in the middle between Dock Zero and Dock No. 1 next to it.
"...This is the largest lifting equipment in the world..." Seeing Liu Yijiu looking at these lifting equipment, Kumachi introduced it to him.
Liu Yijiu nodded, did not respond, and looked at the old factory manager next to him.
The old factory manager looked at the Ulyanovsk nuclear-powered aircraft carrier floating on the water of the dock with some cloudy eyes. Liu Yijiu clearly saw that a drop of crystal tears fell from the corner of the old factory manager's eyes.
"Can we get on the ship and see?" Liu Yijiu said.
Of course it is OK.
Anyway, the weapon system and other things have not started to be installed yet.
The aircraft carrier is very large, which gives people a much bigger feeling than the Iowa-class battleship. Director Liu has not seen a large warship, but standing on the main building of this ship, he feels so small.
It gives him the feeling that it is far more powerful than the Iowa-class battleship.
This ship should sail on the sea.
Instead of staying in this dock, waiting for the fate of being demolished here.
"Do you like this ship?" Makarov, who had been ignoring Liu Yijiu, asked Liu Yijiu, when Liu Yijiu was standing on the deck and looking towards the sea outside.
"I like it! If this ship can be fully built, sailed on the sea, loaded missiles on it, and then filled with carrier-based aircraft, I will like it even more!" Liu Yijiu swallowed.
His purpose is to come for this!
"It's a pity that this ship is not possible to be completed again." The old factory manager's face was full of loneliness.
More is the vicissitudes of life.
Only he knows how much effort he has put into the ship.
Chapter completed!
