Chapter 1,210 The Nuclear Reactor of the Asan Aircraft Carrier(1/2)

When Lao Maozi was building a heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser, he actually used a slipway construction method. The slipway built was called slipway zero. It was equipped with a crane from Northern Europe, which could lift sections of thousands of tons.

Makarov relied on this method to speed up the construction progress. It can be said that they were the first to use the segmented method to build aircraft carriers.

So now, when Qin Tao says this, everyone can't help but believe that Mr. Qin is right, Ah San is mentally ill, otherwise how can we build that kind of dock? Isn't it good to build it with a slipway?

"Of course, it may be that Asan knows that their own construction level is very poor, so the aircraft carrier will likely be reworked after it is launched. At this time, the aircraft carrier is needed."

"That's right, their last aircraft carrier went back and forth to the dock several times, and launched into the water several times." Liu Dashan said.

There are no big restrictions during construction, and the slipway is OK, but after it is built and launched, if there is a problem and needs to be reworked, it is impossible to return to the slipway and can only be driven to the dock. In the future, the ship will be repaired at the dock.

, so Asan built this shipyard because they knew they would have to rework many times.

Everyone present laughed.

"Moreover, Ah San also brags about building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which is even more nonsense. Ah San has no nuclear power technology reserves at all. Our Glorious Years is launched into service, and their aircraft carrier cannot leave the dock.

Unfortunately, the work hasn't started yet." Qin Tao continued.

Can Ah San play a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier? Or do we still have to go to Lao Maozi?

In terms of warship reactors, Lao Maozi also has a few brushes. After all, as early as the 1950s and 1960s, icebreakers began to use nuclear reactors as power. After that, Lao Maozi built a large number of nuclear submarines, and also built Kirov-class nuclear reactors.

As for the power cruiser, if the Red Empire hadn't collapsed, Lao Maozi could have come up with an advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Ah San has a history of cooperating with Lao Maozi in terms of naval equipment. It is said that he should cooperate with Lao Maozi this time.

Lao Maozi thought so too. However, after waiting for a few days, Ah San did not come to the door. Later I found out that Ah San had actually gone to the UK to cooperate!

There is indeed something wrong with Ah San's brain, and he actually started flirting with the British. Even if Ah San went to the French, it would be easier for people to accept it than to go to the British. After all, the British nuclear reactors were built by the aviation engine company.

, simply not doing their job properly.

Rolls-Royce Company.

"Our Rolls-Royce company has strong nuclear power production capabilities. The PWR2 nuclear reactors we produce are used on the Royal Navy's main submarines. Not to mention the Astute-class attack nuclear submarines, even our Vanguard-class strategic nuclear submarines use this type.

Nuclear reactor." Engineer Thomas introduced: "This reactor not only has a thermal power of 140 megawatts, but also has the advantage of not having to replace nuclear fuel during its entire life."

It is said that the use of enriched nuclear fuel eliminates the problem of replacing nuclear fuel midway. It is really the first of the British. Of course, this kind of nuclear reactor, which was born more than ten years ago, uses such advanced technology to take great risks.

Yes, the main idea of ​​the British at that time was to save money. After building it, there was no need to cut open the nuclear reactor to change fuel, which saved a lot of trouble. In later generations, this kind of nuclear reactor was considered to have many flaws, and even British submariners had to operate it carefully.

A little carelessness may cause a major accident.

The Asans listened attentively. After listening, Alex cautiously said: "For us, 140 megawatts of thermal power is a bit small. If it is a nuclear submarine, it is almost enough, but if it is a nuclear-powered

On an aircraft carrier, that is too low. The new generation of Ford-class aircraft carriers in the United States have a core power of 700 megawatts. Eastern aircraft carriers are probably of the same order of magnitude. Two units are enough, and this 140-megawatt

We need ten nuclear reactors."

Ah San is not stupid. Of course, they have also summarized the international research and development experience of aircraft carrier nuclear reactors, especially the failure experience of France. They also know that it is not cost-effective to directly transplant the nuclear reactor of a nuclear submarine.

"Of course, we are just introducing our advanced technology in the field of nuclear reactors. If you want to build a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, you will need at least a 700-megawatt nuclear reactor. But now you only plan to build 7

For a 15,000-ton aircraft carrier, a core thermal power of 500 megawatts is enough. We have a PWR3 nuclear reactor that has been upgraded from the PWR2 nuclear reactor technology. This nuclear reactor is planned to output 500 megawatts of heat.

Power." Thomas introduced.

According to the original plan, if Ah San agrees with the PWR2 nuclear reactor, it will naturally be the best. If Ah San does not agree, they will introduce the PWR3 nuclear reactor. In short, Ah San must not be allowed to leave.

Place your order here!

"Yes, five hundred megawatts of thermal power is enough. Installing two nuclear reactors will not only have enough power to allow the aircraft carrier to reach a speed of thirty knots, but also sufficient power to supply our electromagnetic catapults and electromagnetic

Use blocking cables and other devices." Alex nodded: "So, to what extent has your nuclear reactor been developed?"

"The computer simulation has been completed and construction work can begin at any time," Thomas said.

The so-called computer simulation is nothing more than inputting relevant data into the computer and performing calculations. As long as the thermal power can reach 500 megawatts, in fact, no calculations are made at all. How big is the reactor core and how are the external protective devices constructed?

etc., which require a lot of design work, but these are not important, as long as Ah San invests money.

"Can you give us the information on this nuclear reactor?" Alex asked: "We also have rich experience in nuclear reactor research and development, and we want to learn from your technology."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ah San actually wants to come here to ask for information? The British people present are a little funny, are you too self-righteous? How can we give you the information, because we

Nope!

"Of course this won't work." Thomas said: "Even if I give you the information, you can't build it. Naval nuclear reactors are very complicated. Just processing the outer shell requires advanced technology. You don't have this ability. In

During the construction process, if something goes wrong even slightly, it could lead to catastrophic consequences."

Ah San does not have the production technology for nuclear reactors. Even if they built a nuclear reactor on the ground, it would still be a commercial nuclear reactor, which is very different from the one on a warship.

The nuclear reactor of a warship is required to be small in size, with high thermal power, the internal pressure is much higher than that of a commercial reactor, and it also has to withstand the shaking of the warship.

"Okay, if I leave it to you to build it, how much will it cost?"

"Two billion dollars."

"So expensive?"

"That's right, do you dare to use the cheap one? Damao's nuclear reactor has never been mature. Later, Dongfang gave them an improved cruiser, which removed the nuclear reactor and used conventional power."

If Asan didn't look for the British, he could only look for Da Mao, and Da Mao's nuclear reactors for surface ships were immature! The nuclear reactors of the Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruisers had problems, causing them to lie down, and in the end they had to rely on boilers to operate.

Thanks to Dongfang's help, the nuclear reactor power was removed and replaced by a gas turbine, and now it is back to life.

Therefore, you can’t look for Da Mao, Da Mao is unreliable!

The Asans nodded: "Okay, but this investment is too big, we need to study it carefully."

This contract will definitely not be signed immediately. After all, Asan's shipyard has just started construction, and the subsequent aircraft carrier is still early. It is only pre-research now, and they cannot pay immediately.

Moreover, no one in the world is optimistic about Asan's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Zhang Zhong said that the program immediately released a new episode, commenting on Asan's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

"We believe that the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is a manifestation of Asan's ambition. Currently, they do not have any technical reserves. It will take them at least twenty years. We can look at Lao Maozi's development path of nuclear-powered surface ships."

"On the Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruiser, they used the KH-3 nuclear reactor. Later, for the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, they developed the KN-3-43 nuclear reactor based on this nuclear reactor. It passed the acceptance test in 1988.

The thermal power of this nuclear reactor is only 305 megawatts..."

Zhang Zhong once again advised Ah San to find his way back, but Ah San would definitely not listen.

Qin Tao, who is far away in the Rainbow Kingdom, is visiting the joint maritime exercises between the two sides.

Since they are all warships produced in the East, the electronic equipment on the 054 foreign trade warship can communicate with other warships without any obstacles, and the 055 warship can easily command any warship in the formation.

"Qin, the warships you produce are really good. When needed in the future, we can join forces at any time." Vitalia's voice sounded on the observation boat.

"Not only us, but also several other African countries have ordered warships. In the future, we can often organize joint military exercises, with the warship with the largest displacement as the flagship." Qin Tao said.

"Yes, we are also looking forward to that day." Vitalia said: "We Varna will truly have the strength to face any threat."

"Weina, I remember when we first met, you were just an ordinary girl. I didn't expect that you would grow into the person you are today. I was a little scared." Zhao Ling spoke from the side.

"Really? I just did it because I knew Qin needed it." Vitalia said: "However, these are not enough. Rainbow Country has a complete aviation industry, and we also plan to produce drones in the future.

Lord, Qin, what do you think?"

"Of course you can. You can also get the technology that big business owners can get."

Times are slowly changing, and drones will be more common and more important in the sky in the future. Vitalia still has a good vision.

"Mr. Qin, we just received news that Ah San has found Rolls-Royce and wants to use their strength to develop nuclear reactors for a new generation of aircraft carriers." Xu Zhengyang walked up.

"Ah San asked Rolls-Royce for help? Don't they know that Rolls-Royce has no nuclear reactor R&D technology at all? They are just copying American nuclear reactor technology?"

"Yes, but this makes Da Mao very dissatisfied. Therefore, Da Mao hopes that we can help and ask Asan to give up cooperation with Luoluo Company and find cooperation with Da Mao's design bureau. Da Mao needs this investment."

Da Mao also wants to produce nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Although they have lost this ability a long time ago, people always have ideals, and now there is this opportunity. If they get Asan's funds, Da Mao can produce nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

The nuclear reactor has been developed, which can be regarded as a technical reserve for the future.

"This is not easy, but there is still a way." Qin Tao said: "Ah San will listen to what we say. We only need to praise Luoluo Company's technology, and Ah San will become suspicious. The British nuclear submarine

It’s better to have another accident and expose your unreliability.”

"I can help with this." Vitalia said.

Qin Tao was stunned for a moment: "Has your Vana business already reached Europe?"

Vitalia smiled: "That's not true, it's just that one of my men happened to have a fellow countryman who settled in the UK a few years ago, found a job in the Navy, and happened to be on their submarine."

What does this mean? It was clearly inserted deliberately! How big is Vitalia's ambition? Qin Tao secretly thought in his heart, will he regret it in the future if he single-handedly supported Vana?

"Qin, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Qin Tao smiled: "Weina, you are having so much fun playing this game of life."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That is."

At the end of the exercise, the fleet embarked on its return journey, sailing all the way north and rendezvousing with the fleet that had completed its mission from the Red Sea. The fleet flagship was transferred from 055 to 075, and Qin Tao also came to 075 from the cargo ship.

"President Qin, welcome to the 075 warship!" Captain Zhang Yu said with a smile on his face: "Last time you came here, we provided protection. This time when you go back, we will go together again."

"Well, how many months has it been since the last time? You guys have been out on mission for a long time this time."

"We are surface ships. It doesn't matter how long it takes. Mr. Qin, according to the arrangements of superiors, we will send you aboard when we get near Gwadar Port, and then return through the airspace of Laoba."

"Okay." Qin Tao nodded, and then thought of something: "After you go back, you should hold the induction ceremony, right?"
