Chapter 265
The launching ceremony was not very grand.
In addition to the heads of state-level departments, the rest were some scientific researchers involved in the 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
However...
Perhaps the superiors had given special instructions, or for confidentiality reasons.
When the photographer was photographing these researchers, he intentionally only photographed their backs, not their faces.
After the head of state came to the stage, he smiled and made an impassioned speech, and officially announced the sea trial of the 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
Instant!
The military band played the "March of the Iron Torrent".
At the same time!
In front of the 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, red flags were flying, colorful flags were flying, and fireworks were set off!
A continuous whistle sounded through the sky.
The sound of the salute and the splashing sound of the 004 aircraft carrier splashing water were like a symphony, echoing throughout the shipyard.
004 slowly left the port, then sailed outside and came to the vast ocean.
Then.
Under the gaze of the on-site personnel and millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, there was a very exaggerated turn!
Then, the back wave rolled and gradually headed towards the deep sea.
This scene.
Directly shocked the audience in the live broadcast room.
In the blink of an eye, the barrage rolled up like a waterfall.
"What the hell! What did I see? Is 004 showing off?"
"Hiss... This turning radius is simply terrifying, I'm afraid it's less than 500 meters..."
"If you don't know, you might think the 004 aircraft carrier is drifting!"
"Seeing the turning radius of the 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier just now, I have a rough idea in my mind. Even if there may be a gap with the Eagle Sauce Country, it should not be big. Otherwise, they would not dare to make such a bold turn. This is an absolute confidence in technology and quality!"
"There is a gap with the Eagle Sauce Country's aircraft carrier? Are you sure? Didn't you notice the draft depth of 004 just now? Online professionals have speculated on the approximate data of 004. Our 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is estimated to have a displacement of at least 150,000 tons!"
The speech of this audience was like dropping a bomb on a calm water surface.
The sound of "bang" instantly made the already excited live broadcast room even more heated.
"What? 150,000 tons of displacement? How is that possible?"
"You must be kidding! The Ford-class aircraft carrier of the United States only has a displacement of about 100,000 tons. We are much larger than them?"
"Hehe... Why don't you go to Weibo to verify your doubts? Many military bloggers and industry insiders have published detailed analysis blogs. Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"I just checked. The displacement of the 004 aircraft carrier is indeed not less than 150,000 tons!"
"Hiss... Damn! This is a bit outrageous!!"
As the 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier gradually disappeared from the camera, the audience who had long been curious and wanted to find out the truth ran to the Weibo topic to check more relevant information about the 004 aircraft carrier.
Indeed.
Just as the audience in the live broadcast room said.
Not long after 004 was unveiled and left the port, many "industry insiders" published relevant posts to analyze 004.
Based on the draft depth of 004 shown in the pictures at the scene, they speculated that the displacement of 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier should be more than 150,000 tons.
Just...
When more and more netizens joined the topic and carefully looked at the pictures at the scene, it triggered another period of thinking.
"This draft depth seems to be more than 150,000 tons, right?"
"Yes, as a military fan for more than ten years, I estimated that this draft depth is definitely more than 150,000 tons! However, those industry insiders all said it was more than 150,000 tons, which is..."
"Ahem... Since they said it was more than 150,000 tons, it must be more than 150,000 tons. As for how much more, it is none of our business, right?"
The netizens who reacted seemed to understand something, and instantly changed their caliber and echoed it.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes! 004 must have a displacement of 150,000...tons, no more!"
"150,000 tons, definitely 150,000 tons!"
"You are too fickle, aren't you? Before, you said that our nuclear-powered aircraft carrier would be no worse than the Eagle Sauce Country, but now it not only far exceeds the Eagle Sauce Country, but also has a tonnage of more than 150,000 tons, which is completely ahead..."
"No one thought that we could build such a huge nuclear-powered aircraft carrier."
"The country is holding back a big move!"
The sea trial of the 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier gradually came to an end, but the discussion about it did not stop.
All major social platforms are full of topics about 004, which have been popular for a long time and have been discussed endlessly.
Later.
The relevant news reached the 719 Institute.
Not long after.
Mr. Huang's officeThere was a knock on the door, and then his assistant came in from outside.
Seeing Mr. Huang writing at his desk, the assistant said softly.
"Mr. Huang, the 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has been tested at sea today."
After saying that, he put a document in front of Mr. Huang.
Mr. Huang raised his head slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Oh? So soon?"
During this period, he has been concentrating on studying the idea proposed by Xu Hao last time, and has not paid much attention to things outside.
Unexpectedly, when he heard about 004 again, it had already started sea trials.
He picked up the document in front of him and looked at it carefully.
On the document, there was some information about 004.
Unlike the various uncertain data from the outside world, this one is obviously more complete and is only for internal senior people to read.
When seeing the displacement of 004, even though Mr. Huang already knew the relevant data, he was stunned for a moment.
"More than 150,000... 30,000 tons?!"
"This..."
Mr. Huang widened his eyes, looking a little incredible.
Is the data wrong?
Or is he old and blurry?
The tonnage of an aircraft carrier, can it be so redundant? ...
The last time he went to the 701 Institute, he heard Xu Hao say that the displacement of the 004 aircraft carrier was about 150,000 tons.
How come it has increased by 30,000 tons in just a few months, directly reaching 180,000 tons?
Mr. Huang was a little confused, staring blankly at the assistant standing in front of the table, as if he needed an explanation.
The assistant smiled bitterly.
"Mr. Huang, this is an internal document uniformly issued by the superiors. I am not very clear about the specific situation."
He was helpless!
Especially after seeing the data above and hearing the explanation from the superiors, he was a little confused.
If such data were placed in the past, the relevant internal departments would have severely criticized it.
But now...
The superiors not only did not criticize, but seemed very... happy?
Emphasized this set of data, as if saying:
"You see, the scientific research of the 701 Institute is rigorous, even the remainder is calculated so accurately!"
For a while, he couldn't figure out the specific meaning of his superiors.
Of course.
He also learned that the data publicized to the public was 150,000 tons.
Only a few departments knew the specific data.
So...
At first, Mr. Huang didn't understand it, but after hearing that it was instructed by his superiors, he raised his eyebrows and roughly understood the meaning.
He closed the document and took a sip of tea tacitly.
"I still underestimated Xiaohao's ability!"
Mr. Huang sighed inexplicably, and then seemed to remember something and blurted out.
"By the way, 004 is completed. Didn't Xiaohao say that he has time?..."
