Chapter 450 Discussion

Under the leadership of Academician Jiang,

A group of people walked from the deck to the control room, and then went down from the elevator in the control room to the energy power room.

I have to say that the energy power room underneath is really spectacular.

Before, Liu Cong was either on the deck or in the control room, and he had never been so deep.

It was already July, and when we got into the power room, it was really not that hot inside.

As soon as Liu Cong got out of the power room, he felt a blazing heat wave sweeping over his face.

Considering that Liu Cong and others were not used to it yet, Academician Jiang asked from the side, "Are you still used to it?"

Liu Cong and Academician Sun were able to accept it, but Mr. Xia felt that it was a little too hot to bear.

However, Mr. Xia still said: "What's the point? It's hotter than this in the construction site now, and the workers didn't say anything!"

Hearing what Mr. Xia said, Liu Cong and others knew that Mr. Xia was as good-looking as Mr. Shu, so they didn't say anything.

The entire energy power room is very large. Liu Cong estimates that it is about one to two thousand square meters.

This aircraft carrier is equipped with a total of eight boilers, four steam turbines, four shafts and four propellers.

The whole mechanical part fills the energy chamber, which is the main reason why it's so hot down here.

Fortunately, I got down to the cabin when the Qiming ship was not working. If the Qiming ship was sailing, it would be even hotter here.

Liu Cong looked around and saw all kinds of large equipment.

The ceiling above the hull is also covered with densely packed large steam pipes.

"Academician Liu, you must have never seen this place before, right?"

From Liu Cong's expression, Academician Jiang could also guess that this was his first time here.

Of course, he really didn't have such an opportunity before.

On the side, Mr. Xia and Academician Sun were relatively calm, because it was not the first time they had come here.

Liu Cong shook his head and said: "I have never been here before, and I am really shocked."

"I can't find any relevant pictures on the Internet. I really didn't know there would be such trouble in burning oil!"

Seeing Liu Cong's expression of having never seen the world, Academician Sun couldn't help but ridicule him.

"I thought Academician Liu knew everything and was omnipotent!"

Mr. Xia and Academician Jiang on the side knew that Liu Cong and Academician Sun had a good relationship, so they stood aside and said nothing.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Cong and the others had to rush back.

So Academician Jiang immediately took Liu Cong and others to visit the energy room below to see if they could discuss countermeasures.

Walking inside, Liu Cong slowly felt that it was not as hot as before.

The reason is that the end where Liu Cong came down is the boiler room.

Even though the boiler has stopped running, the residual temperature is still quite uncomfortable for Liu Cong and the others.

"Academician Liu, in front of you is the largest engine of this aircraft carrier."

Academician Jiang pointed at the looming behemoth in front of Liu Cong.

The volume of this engine is thousands of times that of an ordinary car engine.

Liu Cong looked at the engine in front of him as if he were looking at a mountain.

"This is my country's conventionally powered diesel heavy oil engine."

"The principle is also to use the water vapor generated by boiling water as power."

"The total horsepower of this aircraft carrier can reach almost 200,000, and the maximum speed can reach 32 knots."

"…………"

"…………"

For what Liu Cong didn't understand, Academician Jiang patiently answered Liu Cong's doubts.

After this field trip, Liu Cong was able to understand how conventional aircraft carriers operate.

Before this, although he had some understanding, he had never seen a conventional power room, so his understanding would definitely be limited.

After listening to Academician Jiang's story, Liu Cong nodded.

"Academician Sun, does the power chamber in our model need to be improved?" Liu Cong asked.

"That's not necessary. We all come based on this area."

"You have personally provided guidance on the areas that need improvement, but this time the eight boiler rooms may not be enough."

“At the time we were worried about where to put the other two boiler rooms, but with the new material we don’t have to worry about anything.”

Academician Sun said that both Academician Jiang and Mr. Xia knew about this.

After all, transforming an aircraft carrier is no small matter.

Before it is approved, it needs to be reviewed at all levels before it can be officially approved.

"Academician Liu, those are four large propellers. According to your opinion, we also need to equip one propeller on each side of the ship. So with the other four, it will be six propellers."

"Fortunately, you have solved the problem of heat dissipation and space. Otherwise, if so many things are crammed into this limited space, the aircraft carrier will really be overloaded."

"Then it will be very troublesome. It will take several months to repair an aircraft carrier." Academician Jiang chuckled.

Although Academician Jiang sounds so relaxed now, the relaxed surface contains a very painful side.

If it really fails by then, the losses will be huge.

Although China now has its own nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Academician Jiang is still reluctant to part with his hard work.

I think back then, the hull of the Qiming Ship was something abandoned by the Xiong Kingdom in the last century.

China paid a high price to buy it.

When they were in Turkey, the aircraft carrier shell was detained by them for two years.

In the end, China paid a bail of 200 million yuan.

Only after being released on bail by Dolphin Country was he released.

For this reason, Dolphin Country also sacrificed a crew member, and this debt cannot be forgotten.

Later, this abandoned aircraft carrier was transported to China.

Under the leadership of Academician Jiang, this dilapidated aircraft carrier became as radiant as it is now.

Among them, Academician Jiang has put in thousands of days and nights of hard work. This aircraft carrier is like his own child. How can he bear to watch it be scrapped?

Therefore, for any decision, he must confirm and control it at every level.

Liu Cong could understand Academician Jiang's mood at this time.

He seemed to be speaking very calmly, but in fact he was still very uneasy inside.

As the person in charge of this project, all the pressure was placed on him.

And Academician Jiang is also over seventy years old, and his energy can no longer keep up.

However, he had no choice.

He must carry this banner.

Because there was no one behind him.

No one can replace him in this field, which is also sad in a sense.

The main reason why Mr. Xia specially transferred people from the military region this time is that there are not enough technical talents in this area.

Therefore, China still has a long way to go in terms of talent training.

"Mr. Jiang, you don't have to worry about this."

"You must have known about our previous plans in advance."

"We didn't find any abnormalities when we conducted model experiments. I guess the aircraft carrier will not be much different after modification."

The reason why Liu Cong said this is because the model is a one-to-one replica of the Qiming ship.

Even though the layout of the energy room will have some consequences, it will not affect the progress of research and development.
