In 1933, the U.S. Navy began airship research in the California Scenic City. Soon, it was full of technology companies to serve the US military.

Together with Stanford University, they hatched Silicon Valley.

More than 80 years later, China's first ejection aircraft carrier laid off the water, and its significance was far more than military.

China's third aircraft carrier, finally launching!

Over the past few months, the discussion of the discussion of the netizens and the military fans has been fry the pot. In the end, the people of Fujian laughed to the end.

People across the country sent a congratulatory message. The biggest popular candidate Jiangsu, after a brief loss, began to look forward to the next ship.

Like netizens, there are many foreign media and U.S. military.

A few months ago, the satellite photos of China's third aircraft carrier were scattered on the Internet. Recently, it has been almost every day.

For example, on June 14, the US media "Theater" obtained a photo from Planet Labs, which has the world's largest remote sensing satellite group, and asserted that: 003 is about to launch.

The sensitive U.S. military has not been idle. From early June, it has sent RC-135 strategic reconnaissance aircraft to the sea spines outside the Yangtze River Delta.

The reason why the new aircraft carrier and the U.S. military are nervous because the Fujian is the first ejection aircraft carrier in my country. It uses a lot of new technologies, such as integrated power systems (IPS) and electromagnetic ejection.

It is more than 80,000 tons of drainage, second only to the Ford and Nimitz -level, and is the world's first non -US Navy super carrier.

Perhaps because it was too dazzling, even the British "Economist" couldn't sit still. In July 2021, a article was published, entitled:

China's next aircraft carrier will be the biggest!

A financial media, suddenly cared for military, of course not idle. Instead

The significance of aircraft carriers is far from military, and it is related to the political, economic, science and technology of a country ... and even the National Games.

Aircraft carrier is the product of modern large industries.

To build a large aircraft carrier, it requires the world's most cutting -edge technology, manufacturing, and economy. It tests the comprehensive national strength of a country.

This includes both high -end materials, shipbuilding technology, as well as aerospace, and technology fields such as missiles, artillery, electronics.

There are many industries behind it, and there are thousands of companies.

In 1993, when the Russian Prime Minister went to Ukraine in person, he hoped that the Black Sea Shipyard would build the "Warkeg" aircraft carrier and delivered it to the Russian side.

In response, Macarov, then the head of the Black Sea Shipyard Factory, was sadly wounded:

"The Soviet Union, the Party Central Committee, the National Planning Commission, the Military Industry Committee, and the Ministry of Defense Industry, more than 600 related majors, and more than 8,000 supporting manufacturers."

Until then, everyone realized that the country that could build the "Warkeg" no longer existed.

Although there are many disputes about the details of this past, it tells us the fact that the facts of an iron can be built only by strong strengths.

In fact, only 10 countries in the world have aircraft carriers in the world today.

Among them, 11 active aircraft carriers in the United States account for nearly half of the world.

In order to build them, thousands of American companies participated in it.

Taking the latest Ford -class aircraft carrier as an example, there are as many as 2,000 enterprises participating in component supply, construction and later maintenance, and more than 40 states across the United States.

They are together to form an industrial manufacturing system called ACIBC.

Unlike the history of the construction of the aircraft carrier in the United States for nearly a century, China did not convert its first aircraft carrier -Liaoning on the basis of the former Soviet "Warkeg".

However, due to the solid foundation of China's industrial foundation, it has one of the most complete industrial systems in the world, and it is fast to catch up.

Just five years later, in 2017, the Shandong ship, the first aircraft carrier that was completely designed and built independently in my country, was successfully launched.

In the process, we initially built a complete aircraft carrier industry chain.

Taking the Shandong Ship as an example, a total of 532 supporting units participated in the development. Among them, 412 social supporting units of non -military industry, including state -owned enterprises, private enterprises, scientific research institutes, and even colleges and universities.

This huge industrial chain involves six major areas including ship manufacturing, carrier -based aircraft, power systems, electronic information systems, high -end materials, and weapons and ammunition.

China ranks first in the world's first echelon in many of them.

For example, we have the world's number one shipbuilding ability. According to foreign media reports, there are 37 docks in the world with large aircraft carriers and 27 in China.

Focusing on this industrial chain, many excellent companies have emerged, such as Chinese ships and aerospace technology ... There are as many as 29 related listed companies.

Behind them is a trillion -level market.

According to the estimates of relevant agencies, an aircraft carrier formation including an aircraft carrier, carrier -based aircraft and supporting ships has a total life cycle value of more than 200 billion yuan.

The Fujian ship is only the third, and there will be fourth and fifth ships in the future ...

The aircraft carrier -driven is not only economy, but also technological strength.

The aircraft carrier is also a high -tech incubator. Taking the most advanced Ford aircraft carrier of the U.S. military as an example, there are 23 new technologies used for the first time, such as electromagnetic ejection (EALS) and advanced blocking cable system (AAG).

In order to improve the design ability, the shipbuilder Huntington Ingels Industry Corporation also used virtual reality technology for the first time.

Because of the use of too many new technologies, the Ford ’s construction of the aircraft carrier has been repeatedly delayed, and it took eight years to complete it.

Compared with the United States, China started late. Before the "Warkeg" arrived in Dalian Port in 2002, our understanding of aircraft carriers was almost blank.

At that time, China could not even produce the most basic aircraft carrier special steel.

The aircraft carrier is full of displacement, as small as tens of thousands of tons, as many as 100,000 tons, dragging such a heavy body to sail at sea, the ship's strength is not enough, and it is easy to be destroyed by waves and missiles.

The carrier -based aircraft deck and blocking cable are extremely harsh on the intensity of special steel. Only a few countries have such technologies.

Faced with this world -class problem, after many years of development, Ansteel has developed from a small range to the final test and shaped, creating China's own aircraft carrier special steel.

As a catch -up, although there is a technical disadvantage, it is also because of the late start that allows us to bypass some intermediate steps and quickly smooth the technical difference.

For example, the first electromagnetic ejection technology on the Fujian.

Before the Ford of the United States, there were only two types of carrier -based aircraft carrier -based aircraft: slippery take -off, or steam ejection took off.

But the two take -off efficiency is not too high.

In contrast, electromagnetic ejection is simpler in machinery and allows aircraft to take off faster, which greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier.

To this end, the Americans should also let Ford use electromagnetic ejection. However, the progress is not smooth, and the development process has been repeatedly blocked. Even if it has been served, it is still improving.

The first two aircraft carriers in China have adopted a skid. When the third ship was built, there were differences on the steam ejection or electromagnetic ejection, and the construction cycle was delayed.

In the end, after careful assessment, it was decided to cross the steam ejection and directly on the electromagnetic ejection.

However, the electromagnetic ejection needs to gather huge energy within a few seconds, and the launching aircraft of more than a dozen tons is 100 meters away, which has high requirements for the power system.

And we are still the traditional conventional motivation, and there is no US nuclear power.

In order to solve this problem, Ma Weiming's team worked hard on the structure and finally developed a comprehensive power system (IPS) supported by nuclear reactors in 2017.

Compared with similar technologies in the United States, China's IPS uses medium -voltage DC power, with high power density and good reliability. One step has achieved a leap from backward to led by the power of my country's ship.

Today, the Fujian has used domestic electromagnetic ejection technology, which is also the world's second carrier in the world after the Ford of the United States.

This can't help but remind people:

In 1933, the U.S. Navy began airship research in the California Scenic City. Soon, it was full of technology companies to serve the US military.

Together with Stanford University, they hatched Silicon Valley.

China's first ejection aircraft carrier has been launched, but the driver of China's high -tech industry may have just begun.

The aircraft carrier is a symbol of national strength.

In 2017, Ford aircraft carrier officially served, and then US President Trump said excitedly: "Americans sent a 100,000 -ton information to the world: the strength of the United States is second to none."

While Trump said this, 11 nuclear -powered aircraft carriers in the United States are swimming in the world's three oceans.

Compared with Ding Ding's US Navy, the Chinese Navy's history is much more tortuous.

In 1683, after the Qing army's general Shi Lang regained Taiwan, he left the Fujian Marine Division. Two hundred years later, Zuo Zongtang formed China's first modern naval fleet on this basis.

During the same period, the Qing army also created fleets such as Nanyang Marine Division, Beiyang Marine Division, and Guangdong Marine Division. The naval strength ranks among the forefront of Asia.

However, the seemingly powerful Qing Navy was defeated by the Japanese army in Liaoning and Weihai, Liaoning and Weihai, Shandong.

Despite the repeated defeat, the Chinese dream of building a powerful navy has not diminished.

In 1943, Admiral Chen Shaokuan submitted a plan to the Ministry of Navy at the time, hoping to build 20 aircraft carriers. But this crazy plan was a wishful wish in China at the time.

In fact, until half a century later, the Chinese talents ushered in the first intimate contact with the aircraft carrier.

In 1998, Hong Kong businessman Xu Zengping bought the Warley. This is a giant stranded in Ukraine because of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, which changed the world.

On the day of dragging the boat, the head of the Black Sea Shipyard Factory, who had witnessed the rise of the Soviet Navy, looked at the Varyag, and was full of tears.

A few years later, when the Varligg had gone through several times and arrived in Dalian Port, Macarov also moved towards the end of life in depression.

In the past, the owner had passed, but the Warkeg was in a brand -new rising country, glowing in the second spring.

Starting from the Warkeg, Chinese aircraft carriers have set off a magnificent history. Liaoning ships, Shandong ships, Fujian ship ... Each aircraft carrier is washing the humiliation of the Chinese in the past century.

Today, China not only has a powerful industrial system, but also a global trading partner, but also has a powerful navy.This navy has the ability to protect China about 1/5 of the world's international trade and escort the "Belt and Road" construction.

More than 40 years ago, General Liu Huaqing appeared on the American "Assault" aircraft carrier and lifted his toes to observe more details.After returning to China, he left the iron saying:

"If there is no aircraft carrier in China, I will not die!"

This distressing scene will never repeat itself.With the launch of the Fujian ejection aircraft carrier on June 17, the Chinese Navy not only has aircraft carriers, but also its combat effectiveness is second only to the U.S. military.
