Chapter 251: Star Light Aircraft Carrier
Lin Chenran narrowed his eyes slightly and paused for a moment, as if deliberately whetting everyone's appetite.
Then, he raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mysterious smile, and then spoke again: "Next, I will reveal to you an absolutely confidential and important piece of news."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the members of the Saudi delegation in the Camel Region instantly focused their attention on Lin Chenran. They all opened their eyes wide and their ears stood up straight, afraid of missing even the slightest thing.
They also want to know what the secret is.
Lin Chenran did not let everyone wait anxiously for too long. He took a deep breath and said:
"Our country's navy has placed an order for three 704-ton cruisers at our Shipyard!"
As he said this, his eyes flashed with pride.
When everyone present heard the news, they were all shocked.
For a moment, the entire conference room fell into deathly silence, followed by a series of gasps.
One of the Saudi representatives from the Camel Region was shocked and exclaimed in disbelief: "What? A 10,000-ton cruiser? This is simply unbelievable!"
Another representative found it incredible and kept shaking his head and muttering to himself: "How is this possible? Warships of this level are extremely difficult to manufacture. Does the 704 Shipyard have such strong design and construction capabilities?"
There are really not many countries in the world that can build 10,000-ton cruisers.
"There is no doubt that our 704 Shipyard has the ability to build large warships. Even the -ton cruisers of our country's navy were designed, developed and built by us."
"For our 704 Shipyard, a light aircraft carrier is a piece of cake!" Lin Chenran crossed his arms, held his head high, and said confidently, his domineering tone revealed in his words.
The construction of a 10,000-ton cruiser is much more difficult than that of a light aircraft carrier.
……
In that world war of unprecedented scale that swept the globe, John's country used large cargo ships to urgently convert them into aircraft carriers and deployed them on the fierce battlefield.
The technical threshold for manufacturing aircraft carriers is actually not as high as imagined, especially for light aircraft carriers with a displacement of only about 10,000 to 20,000 tons.
At this moment, the members of the delegation from the Saudi Kingdom in the Camel Region couldn't help but look at each other, and their eyes seemed to convey some kind of tacit understanding and consensus.
There was an unconcealable "desire" in each of their eyes.
They all want their country to have a light aircraft carrier.
Owning an aircraft carrier can effectively deter neighboring countries from provoking trouble easily, thus ensuring the country's security and stability.
Abdul immediately asked impatiently: "Lin, do you have a design plan for a light aircraft carrier?"
His eyes were full of anticipation and eagerness.
They have always had a keen interest in aircraft carriers.
However, we still need to see the design plan of the light aircraft carrier before making the next decision.
Lin Chenran turned around and looked at Pan Xueming beside him.
The corners of their mouths slightly raised at the same time, revealing an imperceptible smile of confidence.
This is the opportunity they have been waiting for.
Lin Chenran winked at Pan Xueming.
Pan Xueming understood the meaning immediately. He quickly stood up from his seat, turned around, waved to his assistant standing beside him, and whispered, "Go and distribute the brief design drawings of our own light aircraft carrier to the distinguished guests from Saudi Arabia."
After receiving the instructions, the assistant nodded and began to distribute the design plan of the Xingchen light aircraft carrier. Pan Xueming walked slowly to the podium at the front of the conference room and skillfully operated the projector placed on the podium.
As a slight sound of machinery running was heard, an exquisite and lifelike rendering of the Zvezda light aircraft carrier appeared on the big screen.
The members of the Saudi delegation all turned their eyes to the huge screen.
When their eyes first fell upon the rendering of the "Zhengchen" light aircraft carrier, it was as if a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky. Everyone couldn't help but stare in amazement, their heartbeats quickened, and they were deeply immersed in the incomparable shock.
For a moment, the entire conference room became silent, with only the sound of everyone's rapid breathing clearly audible.
The unique appearance design of this aircraft carrier is like a work of art, and every line exudes the charm of technology and power.
Its sharp and smooth outline is like a sword piercing the sky;
The huge ship gleams with cold metallic light, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
At this moment, the representatives of the Saudi Kingdom in the Camel Region all had the same "desire" in their hearts: "Place an order!"
"We must incorporate this Star light aircraft carrier into our country's military strength!"
……
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Pan Xueming began to give a detailed introduction to the plan for the Star light aircraft carrier, which his company had carefully designed and developed.
The first thing that catches your eye is a series of eye-catching parameters.
The Zvezda light aircraft carrier is meters long, like a towering steel fortress;
The ship is 36 meters wide, and its wide deck is large enough to carry many advanced fighter jets.
The waterline is meters long, meters wide, and the draft depth reaches an astonishing 8 meters, allowing it to be as stable as a rock in rough seas.
The aircraft carrier's standard displacement is as high as 16000 tons, while its full load displacement soars to 20600 tons, fully demonstrating its powerful carrying capacity and combat capability.
The flight deck is meters long and meters wide, providing ample space for carrier-based aircraft to take off and land.
Its speed performance is also excellent, reaching up to 28 knots, like a storm on the sea;
The normal cruising speed can also be maintained at 18 knots, ensuring stability for long-term navigation.
In addition, the Zvezda light aircraft carrier has an ultra-long endurance of 7000 nautical miles and can perform various tasks across the vast ocean.
In terms of power, the Zvezda uses four improved and upgraded GTZA-4 steam turbines as the core power output component.
This improved version of the steam turbine can provide the Zvezda light aircraft carrier with a steady stream of powerful power output, providing a solid guarantee for the aircraft carrier's high-speed navigation and various complex operations.
In terms of weapons and equipment, the Zvezda light aircraft carrier is equipped with four powerful 4mm machine guns, which are known for their high rate of fire and accuracy and can pose a huge threat to close-range targets.
In addition, there are three impressive 3-barrel 7mm rapid-fire guns, which can fire dense shells at an astonishing speed, forming a powerful barrage to effectively intercept incoming enemy aircraft or missiles, demonstrating excellent air defense capabilities.
The Zvezda light aircraft carrier also has excellent carrier-based aircraft carrying capabilities.
After careful design and optimization, it can carry up to 28 to 30 carrier-based aircraft of various types.
This number is 3 to 5 more than the existing light aircraft carriers in service in various countries.
This means that when performing a mission, the Zvezda can dispatch more carrier-based aircraft to participate in combat operations.
Whether conducting air patrols, attacking enemy targets or providing air support, it has stronger combat capability and deterrence.
This is why the members of the Saudi delegation in the Camel region showed a "longing" look when they saw the rendering of the Zvezda light aircraft carrier.
