Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

"Unfortunately, this is still a conventionally powered aircraft carrier. It is difficult to build a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier with this conventional power, and its combat effectiveness is at least one level lower than that of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier."

"The energy supply of conventionally powered aircraft carriers is also a big problem. This conventionally powered aircraft carrier is only suitable for performing missions in a fixed area. It is difficult for us to perform missions all over the world for a long time like our nuclear-powered aircraft carriers."

"Hey, it's probably impossible for them to break through the technology of aircraft carrier nuclear power units in the short term. We are the only ones in the world with this kind of technology... As for the French one? Can it really be considered a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier? ?”

Just as they were discussing these issues, they suddenly received new news.

After learning the content of the news, their surprise immediately became more intense.

"What... you mean, Xia is about to launch their... two new aircraft carriers into the sea together?"

"How come there are two new aircraft carriers? According to the information obtained by our satellite, isn't there only one new aircraft carrier?"

"Yes, it is impossible to complete the construction of two aircraft carriers at the same time in such a short period of time? Even if only one aircraft carrier is built, this is already very difficult. And how can they do such a big thing? What about the ones that are completely hidden?”

For a moment, they even doubted whether the news was true.

But in fact, because the news released by Xia Guo did not specify the types of power plants of the two aircraft carriers, they did not realize that there was also an aircraft carrier equipped with a nuclear power plant.

"There should be no problem with the authenticity of the news. This is the news officially released by Xia Guo. There is basically no problem. You all know that Xia Guo's behavior has always been very cautious and steady. It is impossible to joke about this kind of thing casually. of."

After hearing these words, they all realized that this should indeed be true news.

"Anyway, this incident is indeed too sudden. Including the previous Zero Zero One, they have three aircraft carriers."

Although this number of aircraft carriers cannot be compared with the powerful Millennium Navy, it is enough to make them feel nervous.

"Now let's see where their extra aircraft carrier is hidden. As long as this aircraft carrier goes to sea, we can immediately determine the location of this aircraft carrier through our satellites."

"Fortunately, their aircraft carrier will not be too large in size. It will only be an 80,000-ton aircraft carrier at most. The gap between the second in the world and the first in the world is not so easy to catch up with."

…

At this moment, Ning Chen had boarded the deck of Zero-03 again, preparing to participate in the launching ceremony of the Zero-03 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

This time, Ning Chen did not participate in the ceremony in a public capacity, and was not even among the announced members.

This is not because Ning Chen's status is not enough, but a choice to protect Ning Chen.

Now Ning Chen has participated in many national-level projects. If all these things are leaked, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on Ning Chen's safety issues.

Ning Chen still hopes that he can maintain his identity as a simple researcher, so Ning Chen himself is very happy with this decision.

Just standing silently in the corner of the deck and participating in the launching ceremony of the aircraft carrier was enough for Ning Chen to feel excited.

In addition to those participating in the aircraft carrier launching ceremony, the aircraft carrier launching ceremony will also be broadcast live on TV and the Internet.

At this moment, hundreds of millions of people across the country are waiting in front of TVs, computers, and mobile phones just to watch the launching ceremony of the aircraft carrier.

Such a situation was difficult to imagine in the past. When Zero Zero One performed the sea launching ceremony, there was far from such a high level of attention.

But after Xia's rapid technological development, many people began to pay attention to various technology-related matters, especially aircraft carriers, which are important technologies that determine a country's military strength.

Moreover, this time Xia Guo publicly announced two aircraft carriers at the same time, which greatly attracted people's attention.

At this time, the 003 aircraft carrier activated its own nuclear power plant system and sailed towards the sea.

"We can see that the aircraft carrier No. 003 has now sailed out of the base and appeared in front of all of us. The length of the aircraft carrier No. 003 is 340 meters, the width is 45 meters, and the maximum speed is 35 knots. It can carry 100 aircraft and the displacement can reach 100,000 tons..."

At this moment, in addition to people from Xia Kingdom, there are also people from abroad who are watching the launching ceremony of Xia Kingdom's two aircraft carriers through various live broadcast methods.

Due to some information limitations, it is not possible to know all the valuable information about these two aircraft carriers based only on this public information, and many details have been deliberately hidden.

However, there are still some experts who have deduced the hidden information from some information.

"Their No. 002 is indeed a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, but No. 003 is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!"

"How could it be a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier? How did you tell that?"

"It's very simple, just through the superstructure of the aircraft carrier. The superstructure of a conventionally powered aircraft carrier is more complicated because it uses conventional power and requires a chimney to exhaust smoke. But a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier does not need to exhaust smoke because it uses a nuclear power plant. chimney, so the superstructure of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier will be very simple..."

As he spoke, the expert pointed out several locations in the video and circled them with a pen to explain.

"Yes, although these pictures are not very clear, we can still clearly see the difference between 003 and 002 in the superstructure. If I am not wrong, 003 is indeed a A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.”

At this time, another person came over and said:

"Our satellite has captured the latest picture of Xia Guo003, and the resolution is more comprehensive than the one in the video!"

"Really? Come and take a look!"

Immediately, they opened the pictures taken by the satellite and analyzed them together.

As they said, although the pictures taken by the satellite are not as clear as the pictures in the live video, the good news is that the entire aircraft carrier can be captured, and there will be almost no obvious blind spots.

After some careful analysis, they further confirmed this conclusion.

"Yes, judging from the external structure of Zero-03, this is indeed an aircraft carrier equipped with a nuclear power plant. I can't believe how they broke through this difficult technology."

If this is a nuclear aircraft carrier that will be built in ten or twenty years, it is understandable. After all, although many technologies are difficult, as long as Xia Guo is given enough time, the technology will be completed sooner or later. of breakthrough.

However, this is a technology that has been broken through in a very short period of time, and it does not even take up normal research time. It was completed at the same time as Zero-02, which is enough to make everyone feel incredible.

"Fortunately, we have the most powerful satellite technology in the world. Otherwise, we would not be able to analyze these results."

Just when they were glad that they had obtained this information through high technology, the news in the live broadcast signal dispelled these emotions in their hearts.

"The aircraft carrier No. 003 is equipped with a small nuclear power device developed by us. These two small nuclear power devices can provide the aircraft carrier No. 003 with a speed of up to 35 knots..."

Being able to state this information so straightforwardly shows that Xia Guo is not worried about this information being leaked.

"It seems that we are being pretentious. They already know that we can learn this information through satellites. For them, there is no need to keep this information confidential."

In other words, the news that the outside world can know is the news that Xia Guo wants the outside world to know.

As for the real core secrets, even with the most advanced technology, it is difficult to obtain them easily.

At the same time, the mood of hundreds of millions of Xia people who watched the aircraft carrier launching ceremony on TV, computers, and mobile phones can be described as "surging with emotion."

Originally, it was exciting enough for Xia Guo to launch two aircraft carriers at the same time.

But no one expected that among these two aircraft carriers, there would be a powerful nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

"I didn't expect that we would have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier so soon. This will make our navy more powerful and able to compete with any opponent."

"In the past few years, our technological development has been getting faster and faster. I don't know if the progress in the aircraft carrier field has a lot to do with the rapid development of quantum computers."

"Ten years ago, many people felt that we did not have the ability to build aircraft carriers, but now we already have three aircraft carriers, and there is also a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Maybe in ten years, we will become the world's largest aircraft carrier. The country with the largest number.”

On this day, no matter on any social platform, the entry related to "aircraft carrier" occupied the first place in the hot search list.

Even fans of various popular celebrities are not in the mood to chase stars at this time, but are concerned about more important things.

After participating in the launching ceremony of the 003 aircraft carrier, Ning Chen returned to Shengzhou.

Seeing Ning Chen coming back, Xu Zhou asked in a low voice:

"Teacher Ning, did you... go to Bincheng Shipyard?"

Ning Chen went to Bincheng Shipyard to attend the aircraft carrier launching ceremony and did not tell anyone else, but Xu Zhou still guessed it very accurately.

On such an important day, Ning Chen suddenly disappeared, and it was difficult for Xu Zhou to think of other possibilities.

Ning Chen did not confirm Xu Zhou's guess, nor did he deny it. Instead, he asked:

"Teacher Xu, how do you feel when you watch this aircraft carrier launching ceremony?"

"It was so exciting. I had tears in my eyes the whole time I watched it. It would be great if I could watch this ceremony live. It would be an experience I will never forget."

Ning Chen knew that Xu Zhou's words came from the heart, because when he felt all this on the deck of the aircraft carrier, Ning Chen indeed felt the same way.

It's just that Ning Chen can actually experience these wishes that Xu Zhou dreamed of. This is something that makes Ning Chen feel even more proud.

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door of their laboratory.

Sui Feng ran to open the door and found that the person who came was Liu Xu.

"Teacher Ning, you are back."

"Well, Dean Liu, I just came back yesterday."

Liu Xu was one of the few people who knew about Ning Chen's trip to Bincheng Shipyard. As the dean of the Materials Laboratory of Shengzhou University, Liu Xu still had to know these things.

After briefly chatting with Ning Chen and Xu Zhou about the recent situation in the laboratory, Liu Xu said:

"Teacher Ning, Teacher Xu, there will be a conference in Yanjing some time ago. Well... the nature of this conference is quite special. It is not an ordinary academic conference, but more like an academic conference that combines technology and application. The two teachers will As a representative of the school and college, I went to Yanjing to attend this meeting."

Hearing Liu Xu's words, Ning Chen and Xu Zhou were both a little surprised, but they were also looking forward to this meeting.

"This meeting is still very important. It will definitely define our future research direction, so it's nothing important. It's best to attend it. Before going to Yanjing, we need to make arrangements for the laboratory and teaching. …”

After roughly explaining the meeting to Ning Chen and Xu Zhou, Liu Xu left their laboratory.

"Teacher Ning, what exactly will be discussed at this academic conference?"

After Liu Xu left, Xu Zhou immediately had to discuss it with Ning Chen.

"It should be closely related to our country's scientific and technological discoveries. In fact, this node is still very critical. As long as we determine the direction and conduct research in the right direction, this may allow us to quickly improve our scientific and technological level... …”

Listening to Ning Chen's words, Xu Zhou was a little confused.

"Teacher Ning, I know every word you said. Why do you put them together so that I don't quite understand what you mean?"

"Well... to put it simply, let's try to improve the efficiency of scientific research work. Many teachers have published a lot of papers, but if we seriously evaluate the academic value and scientific research value of these papers, they are actually very limited. "

"This time I probably understand that we should try our best to link scientific research with application, right? In fact, a lot of scientific research is like this. It may not be applied in a short time, or even have no application value at all. I think this is reflected in mathematics It is particularly obvious that many mathematical problems are too abstract and may have no practical significance at all.”

Ning Chen had different opinions on Xu Zhou's statement. After thinking for a while, he continued to explain.
