.After Lu Wen finished speaking, Hou Mingyao took out a document placed in the drawer.

"This is our evaluation report on the technical feasibility." Hou Mingyao handed the document to Lu Wen and said, "Because the delivery time of the electromagnetic catapult cannot be determined, we think it is best to modify the original design and use the Yuefei deck. Wait until the electromagnetic catapult is successfully developed before modification."

Lu Wen opened the document, read it briefly, and said, "Mr. Hou, your proposal makes sense, but the Navy must re-evaluate it."

"The key is whether the fixed-wing early warning aircraft designed by Xifei can rise from the leap deck." Hou Mingyao is very clear about the key problem. "For this reason, I went to Xifei a few days ago and discussed it with the chief designer of the early warning aircraft. Using the 14-degree leap deck and installing a rocket booster for the early warning aircraft can solve the problem."

"It can indeed solve the problem, but the cost of use is too expensive." Mu Haoyang answered Lu Wen.

"There are gains and losses. First of all, we must solve the problem and consider other problems."

"No matter what, this is not the best choice." When it comes to military use, Mu Haoyang has a more say. "The Navy will consider this plan, but it must start from the perspective of comprehensive application. Which plan should be adopted before a comprehensive analysis can be made."

"Mr. Hou, deck construction will take place two years later, and we still have time."

Hou Mingyao smiled and said, "Okay, everything is up to the navy, we are only responsible for the construction. But it is better to make a choice as soon as possible so that we can place an order."

Mu Haoyang and Lu Wen both nodded, indicating that they understood Hou Mingyao's meaning.

Building an aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 55,000 tons is definitely not just a matter of a shipyard. Strictly speaking, a shipyard is just a total assembly workshop of an aircraft carrier. All the equipment and parts required for the aircraft carrier need to be ordered from other manufacturers. For example, the steel used for building the hull must be ordered from the steel factory. The flight deck is no exception. If the deck is laid after two years, the steel for laying the flight deck must be ordered at least one year in advance. Only by determining which flight deck is used can the order be placed, otherwise the construction period will be delayed.

After leaving the Ship Design Institute, the two decided to go to the city for lunch.

Because they were going to attend the aircraft carrier start-up ceremony in the afternoon, the two of them didn't go far and found a quieter restaurant near the Naval Academy where Mu Haoyang was more familiar.

The food was very ordinary, and the two of them didn't have much appetite.

While having dinner, Lu Wen circled around and asked about the situation at Mu Haoyang's home.

What else can happen?

When Lu Wen learned that Mu Haoyang was an orphan and his parents had passed away, he was not surprised. Instead, he admired him even more. He seemed to think that it was amazing to be able to survive alone.

"Can you talk about your ex-girlfriend?"

"Golden Qiu?" Mu Haoyang was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant.

Lu Wen nodded and waited for Mu Haoyang to speak.

"Actually, I have nothing to do with her." Mu Haoyang smiled reluctantly and said, "When I met, she was still a student. I served at the grassroots level and had not yet entered the special forces."

"How did you meet?"

"I am her instructor in military training. After several contacts, I felt that it was enough to get a conversation, so she asked me for the mailing address."

"Letter exchanges?"

Mu Haoyang nodded and said, "In the first two years, I was just an ordinary pen pal, and I wrote a letter every month. Later, I felt that there was a common topic and I decided to make the relationship."

"It's quite romantic, at least very romantic in this era."

"We were very simple at that time. I then applied for the Amphibious Special Forces. She waited for me for two years." Mu Haoyang sighed and said, "It's just that people will change. After graduation, her parents went to the relationship and made her a civil servant, and I also became an officer in the Amphibious Special Forces."

"It's almost the same, at least it's a good match."

"That's right, but you also know that the discipline of the special forces is very strict. The two of them can't meet twice a year."

“How long has it been maintained?”

"Five years." Mu Haoyang felt that Lu Wen was interrogating him, but he knew that since he talked about this, he had to make it clear.

"Why were they separated in the end?"

"There are many reasons, and they are all difficult to solve." Mu Haoyang leaned on the chair and was silent for a while before saying, "First of all, her parents firmly opposed it. Either I will be demobilized or the two will be separated. Secondly, the problem of the house, and she also believes that she must buy a house before getting married."

"I think this is not the main problem."

"Yeah?"

Lu Wen nodded and said, "What you two lack the most is communication."

Mu Haoyang smiled and said nothing.

This is indeed the most critical issue. Without communication, there will be no understanding, let alone mutual support, it would be strange if there is no problem with each other.

"After breaking up, it will be a big blow to you?"

Mu Haoyang nodded, not denying this issue.

"Maybe, this is fate."

After saying this pun, Lu Wen did not speak again.

After a while of silence, Mu Haoyang spoke, "What do you think of Hou Gong's proposal?"

"Mr. Hou?" Lu Wen was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "You are just a person who attaches great importance to work and ignores other things."

"You can't just sit like that."

Lu Wen smiled and shook her head, saying, "Hou Gong's proposal is of reference value, but it cannot be influenced by him. He received the salary of the shipyard, and he must speak for the shipyard if he eats the king's salary and loyalty to the emperor. If he adopts his proposal, the two aircraft carriers will definitely be greatly modified after serving, and the cost will not be much less. The shipyard can make a big profit."

"The problem is, if you can't get the catapult, are there any other options?"

"So we have to work hard on this." Lu Wen paused for a moment and said, "You have a good relationship with Li Mingyang from the second department. If you have the opportunity to talk to him."

"What are you talking about?"

"If the Second Division can obtain some key information, it can speed up the development of the catapult, and perhaps it can catch up with the construction speed of the aircraft carrier."

Mu Haoyang nodded to show that he understood Lu Wen's meaning.

"We can only do our best to do other things. No matter what, there is at least one year left. I will ask Hou Gong to make backup plans. If it really doesn't work, we have to change the design."

“The year will pass soon.”

"Who can guarantee what will happen this year?"

Both of them smiled. A year is not short or long.

In the afternoon, the two attended the start-up ceremony of the domestic aircraft carrier.

Because this aircraft carrier has not been named yet, the temporary number is the first letter of the aircraft carrier's English name and the first letter of the Chinese English name.

The chairman of the Northern Shipbuilding Industry Group was presided over the construction ceremony, and the chief representative of the military was Teng Yaohui.

As Huang Zhibo's representative, Mu Haoyang stood beside Teng Yaohui.

What Mu Haoyang did not expect was that he was on the front page of dozens of newspapers and was considered by many news media to be the captain of the first domestically produced aircraft carrier.

This made him laugh and cry because he was not qualified to be a captain.

Not to mention anything else, the captain must have several professional skills and must obtain the corresponding degree and qualification certificate, and he does not have it either.

Of course, the news media is most concerned about the first aircraft carrier built by China.

Five days later, on January 15, Mu Haoyang went to Shanghai to attend the start-up ceremony of the "c2" aircraft carrier.

Although Jiangnan Shipyard is the main design unit of domestic aircraft carriers, Dalian Shipyard has experience in renovating the "Huangdi", so it is first arranged for Dalian Shipyard to start construction.

Compared with c1, c2 is roughly the same, with only a few nuances.

The reason is also very simple. The two shipyards have different capabilities and the construction equipment they use are also different, so there are differences in the construction process.

Nothing strange is that there are nuances in the ten Nimitz classes.

January 25th, New Year's Eve.

Mu Haoyang did not return to his hometown, but just asked his comrades from Chongqing to bring some New Year goods to his relatives. But this Spring Festival, Mu Haoyang was not lonely.

On the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, he received a call from Pang Yuelong, asking him to go to the New Year.

Mu Haoyang did not make a special trip, but asked someone to send a red envelope to Pang Yuelong's son. In the next few days, he had almost never had a meal at home, so he took turns to Qi Kaiwei, his mother Qi Tie, Zhang Yuting and others to celebrate the New Year's Eve dinner at Huang Zhibo's house on the evening of the 30th.

After the Spring Festival Gala began, Huang Zhibo took Mu Haoyang to the study.

"In the afternoon, Mr. Lu called me and asked me to go tomorrow and you can go with me."

"New Year's greetings?" Mu Haoyang had seen Lu Fenglie several times.

"It's mainly about New Year's greetings, and your business."

Mu Haoyang smiled bitterly, knowing what Huang Zhibo was talking about.

"If you have no objection, I will help you propose marriage."

"Mr. Huang..."

"Don't you figure it out yet?"

"No, I think it's too hasty."

"Strike the iron while it's hot." Huang Zhibo laughed, "You have been closer to Lu Wen during this period. Now it's the Spring Festival holiday. Let's settle things, everything else is easy to say."

"Can't you slow down?"

"How old are you, you still need to slow down?" Huang Zhibo shook his head and said, "Is it thirty-five? Lu Wen is the same year as you. How many years can you delay, but others can't afford it. Xiaomu, let me tell you this. If you really like her, you should be responsible for her and don't think about everything for yourself."

"I'm not..."

"It's better, it's decided." Huang Zhibo did not give Mu Haoyang another chance to defend himself. "Come here early tomorrow, I'll order a new military uniform for you. Mr. Lu prefers to be clean, dress decently, and leave a good impression. When you go back to the evening, call Lu Wen so that you won't be able to match the time."

"Is there anything else?"

"I said, this is your lifelong event. I have given you advice. Can you be more careful?"

Mu Haoyang smiled and said, "Okay, call Lu Wen when you go back. Come here early tomorrow morning and go with you to pay homage to your future father-in-law."

"You boy..."

"If it's okay, I'll go back."

Huang Zhibo waved his hand and did not try to keep Mu Haoyang.

When he got home, Mu Haoyang called Lu Wen and mentioned that he would like to wish Lu Fenglie a New Year. Mu Haoyang didn't say much about the others. Lu Wen was so smart that he didn't need nonsense.

Of course, Mu Haoyang also figured it out.

What should be come will come sooner or later. It would be better to solve it earlier if you delay...
