On August 13, 1942, Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui came to a shipyard in Northeast China.

The shipyard is under a high degree of security, and is surrounded by officers and soldiers on guard duty.

The car drove into the shipyard. Before the car stopped, Jiangdong saw Navy Commander Xu Tingyi.

Standing next to Xu Ting was a middle-aged man who was a little excited and anxious.

——Professor Zhu Ying, chief designer of aircraft carriers No. 001 and No. 002.

Today is the day when aircraft carrier No. 001 is launched and delivered to the Navy!

The day was chosen on August 13th mainly to commemorate the Songhu Blood and Flesh Mill five years ago.

During the Songhu Battle, many Japanese aircraft carriers arrived at the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River Estuary. The aircraft carrier aircraft caused heavy casualties to the Chinese troops participating in the Songhu Battle.

On the same day five years later, the first aircraft carrier designed and produced by the Chinese will be launched.

Xu Tingyi helped Jiang Dong open the car door, the excitement and impatience on his face were so obvious.

"Haha... today is a good day for aircraft carrier researchers, the navy, and all Chinese people!"

Jiang Dong smiled and shook hands with Zhu Ying, Xu Tingyi and others, with expectations in his eyes.

Aircraft carriers are the deepest desire of countless Chinese people.

In the melodious naval military music, Jiangdong finally saw the aircraft carrier he had dreamed of.

Aircraft carrier No. 001 has been officially named Fengtian!

The first impression Fengtian gave Jiangdong was great!

Standing in front of Fengtian, people look too small, just like a football on the football field.

"call!"

Exhaling, Jiang Dong suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"Let's get started!"

"Dududu..."

Colorful ribbons fluttered and horns sounded.

Among the three armed forces, the Navy pays the most attention to rituals and traditional inheritance.

After a series of ceremonies, the Fengtian was launched from the shipyard and slowly left the shipyard with the help of tugs.

During the production and manufacturing process of the two aircraft carriers, the development of jet fighters was also carried out simultaneously.

The Fengtian was launched, jet carrier-based aircraft were successfully developed, and the Navy also trained a number of outstanding pilots.

On August 15, in a certain area of ​​the Bohai Sea, Jiang Dong personally boarded the Fengtian aircraft carrier to observe the take-off and landing test of the carrier-based aircraft.

"The 001-class aircraft carrier is 320 meters long, 75 meters wide, and has a full load displacement of 75,000 tons!" Chief Designer Zhu Ying said loudly to Jiangdong.

Navy Commander Xu Ting took over the conversation. He raised his voice and wanted to tell Jiang Dong everything he knew.

"The Fengtian's speed is between 30 and 33 knots, and its range is 5,000 to 8,000 nautical miles!"

"There will be at least 3,000 officers and soldiers working on the aircraft carrier, which will be equipped with 8 boilers and a maximum horsepower of 280,000 horses."

"Hehe... Commander-in-Chief, the Fengtian can carry 70 jet carrier-based aircraft!"

Amidst the whistling sea breeze, Jiang Dong's blood gradually began to boil.

At this time, a carrier-based aircraft was arriving on the flight deck through the aircraft carrier's side elevator.

Navy Commander Xu Tingyi pointed at the carrier-based aircraft being prepared and said:

"The Fengtian has a total of 4 steam catapults and 4 elevators. Under ideal circumstances, it can eject and take off 8 carrier-based aircraft per minute!"

"The flight deck is made of special steel, which can ensure the safety of carrier-based aircraft taking off and landing. The armor thickness of the flight deck exceeds 150 mm."

"There are more than 1,000 watertight compartments and mine protection compartments under the flight deck. Among all aircraft carriers in the world, it has the strongest underwater protection capabilities and damage resistance."

"It is also equipped with the most advanced radar and torpedo warning systems, short-range defense artillery, etc."

"Its design concept and performance have surpassed the U.S. and Japanese aircraft carriers for an era!"

When he said this, Xu Tingyi was so excited that his face turned red. He grabbed the ship island with both hands and turned to look at the chief designer Zhu Ying.

"Lao Zhu, did I miss anything?"

Zhu Ying shook her head equally excitedly.

"Boom...whoosh..."

With the help of the steam catapult, the carrier-based aircraft left the flight deck with a roar and successfully ascended into the blue sky.

"Pa bang bang..."

"Pa bang bang..."

Jiangdong, naval officers, and scientific research and experiment personnel all applauded and cheered in unison.

Jiangdong's state of mind is as undulating as the surface of the Bohai Sea.

After shaking hands with chief designer Zhu Ying again, he sincerely praised:

"This is the world's first super aircraft carrier!"

"And it is still in the hands of us Chinese people. The world's maritime power will change from this!"

The eyes of the three people became excited and imaginative at the same time.

He looked away from the Fengtian and looked towards the deeper, more vast and boundless deep sea.

The first jet carrier-based aircraft was named J-3.

It is an improvement and upgrade from the first jet fighter successfully developed by the Jet Fighter Research and Design Institute of the Academy of Military Sciences.

With Jiangdong's data support and the unremitting efforts of scientific researchers, the Chinese people's own first-generation jet fighter was finally successfully developed and named J-2.

The maximum flight speed of the J-2 jet fighter reaches Mach 0.88, or 1,078 kilometers per hour.

Its speed is far faster than that of the J-1 fighter, and it is the fastest flying aircraft in the world today.

The J-2's maximum takeoff weight exceeds 6,000 kilograms, its practical ceiling is 15,000 meters, and its range is 1,800 kilometers.

It is equipped with one 37mm cannon and two 23mm cannon.

In some improved and derivative models, the J-2 can also carry aerial bombs or rockets.

After all, it is the first jet fighter, and scientific researchers have spent a lot of effort to master relatively mature technology.

Derivative models of the J-2 will include but are not limited to:

Fighters, fighter-bombers, interceptors, escort aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, two-seat trainer aircraft.

Of course, the carrier-based aircraft carried by super aircraft carriers are also improved and upgraded from this.

Compared with the J-2, the J-3 has a larger take-off weight, a longer range, and more types of weapons to mount and carry.

On August 15, Jiangdong watched the takeoff and landing training of dozens of fighter planes.

He had a real feeling for the training level of the pilots and the performance of the Fengtian aircraft carrier.

Jiangdong believes that the Fengtian will form combat effectiveness in a month and can officially start the formation.

"After the daytime training, the pilots will also conduct night takeoff and landing training." Xu Tingyi said to Jiangdong:

"If all goes well, the Fengtian will have all-weather combat and strike capabilities."

"The real super aircraft carrier, the mobile fortress on the sea!"

Jiang Dong nodded and said:

"Very good, very good. Keep it secret from the outside world for the time being. Let's catch the little devil by surprise and give the whole world a big surprise!"
Chapter completed!
