An aircraft carrier is a gold-swallowing beast, and it is not something that ordinary countries can afford. The cost of an aircraft carrier in the United States is several billion U.S. dollars, plus the maintenance cost of 50 years of service, the calculation will not be less than 20 billion U.S. dollars.

If you add the weapon system, this is even more expensive.

Coupled with the frigate, its weapon system, and various equipment, it will cost more.

Someone calculated that it would cost more than 100 billion RMB to build an aircraft carrier battle group.

Ye Chen is rich and powerful now, it is impossible for him to raise an aircraft carrier battle group, he does not have that financial strength. However, it is not a problem to pay for the fuel cost of the aircraft carrier.

Admiral Luo originally wanted to choke Ye Chen, but Ye Chen choked him in the end, he was a little embarrassed.

"Old Luo, it's not good for you to choke, but you just choked on Xiaoye. Isn't it uncomfortable?" Admiral Gan took the opportunity to tease, and said: "My family, it takes minutes to be on the wealth list, and it is cheaper than eating and drinking for us." Keep it simple."

Although these words are a bit exaggerated, they are not very exaggerated. Future Concept Technology is now the most potential high-tech company in the world. As the company's largest shareholder, Ye Chen's wealth is skyrocketing, increasing every day. It is not difficult for Ye Chen to get on the wealth list.

"Chief, let me tell you, I don't plan to pay the money myself, I plan to ask someone to reimburse me." Ye Chen said surprisingly.

"Reimbursement? Who do you ask for reimbursement?" Admiral Luo and Admiral Gan were taken aback.

"Of course it's going to be reimbursed by the United States." Ye Chen joked.

Admiral Luo and Admiral Gan laughed out loud, and they pointed at Ye Chen with playful faces.

They couldn't understand how ruthlessly Ye Chen dealt with the United States. Isn't the United States very awesome? He had to bow his head in front of Ye Chen, and had to take out the military base to make a deal with the Celestial Dynasty.

Later, Ye Chen asked the United States to settle the high-tech debt owed to our country and make compensation, but the United States dared not do so.

It is not impossible for Ye Chen to ask the United States to reimburse the fuel cost of the aircraft carrier. Ye Chen casually made excuses, for example, the price of photonic chips was going to increase, and the United States had to buy them, so he had to hold his nose and admit it.

"So, the fuel cost is not a problem, let's bring the aircraft carrier." Ye Chen patted his chest and promised.

Ye Chen really wanted to see the domineering appearance of the aircraft carrier sailing in the sea.

"Don't think about it, it's impossible." Admiral Luo shook his head and said, "The aircraft carrier can't come, not because it can't pay for the fuel, but because there are other important tasks."

Ye Chen's curiosity was aroused all of a sudden, and he asked, "Sir, what tasks do you have?"

"These missions are an open secret, and you know it, and that is to prepare for the service of domestic aircraft carriers." Admiral Luo reminded, "Think about it yourself."

Our country's first aircraft carrier came from a hull purchased from that country. The hull bought from that country is a semi-finished product, and the construction has not been completed. Our country continues to build, and finally we have our country's first aircraft carrier.

Many people are accusing our country of being uneconomical, because the design of this hull is outdated and has many problems. What they say is true, but have they ever thought about one thing, why is the country doing this?

Can you build a manufacturing team just by designing without manufacturing?

Light has a design and development team,

Can this work without a manufacturing team?

Although it is a semi-finished product, we can build our manufacturing team, inspect existing problems, and conduct technical verification. The first domestically-made aircraft carrier has made many improvements on this basis, and its performance is more advanced, which has been confirmed.

This is the purpose of our country to complete this hull manufacturing.

Foreign media have been smearing us, thinking that our country's first aircraft carrier can only be a training ship, and it is impossible to form combat effectiveness. However, what happened not long ago gave these foreign media a resounding slap in the face. Our aircraft carrier battle group went to sea for exercises and formed an "initial combat capability."

However, the main function of the first aircraft carrier is to accumulate and prepare for the service of domestic aircraft carriers.

Who said this is the first aircraft carrier? Regardless of whether it is domestically produced or not, the first aircraft carrier will take on this important task.

If our country wants to build a blue-water navy and go deep blue, we need not one or two aircraft carriers, but many. More so if there is a war. The task of an aircraft carrier is really heavy, although Ye Chen is very reluctant, he has to accept this reality.

Admiral Luo conducted command through photonic information technology, and the reports from all ships were good.

"Not bad! Not bad! Very good!" Admiral Luo was full of joy and admired, and said: "The reaction time and data transmission time have been greatly shortened."

Compared with electronic technology, photonic information technology has obvious advantages, and the ability to transmit large data is the most obvious advantage. During the test, it proved its great superiority many times.

However, it is a test after all, and it is now in official use. It is really gratifying to have such an excellent performance.

"Old Gan, it's your turn." Admiral Luo said.

General Gan ordered to contact the strategic forces in the interior, and Gao Lao's figure appeared on the big screen.

Elder Gao was sitting in the car, moving forward on the mountain, it was very bumpy.

"Old Gao?" Ye Chen was very surprised, and asked, "Old Gao, aren't you at the root of the imperial city? How did you go to the mountain?"

"Xiaoye, of course I am participating in the exercise." Elder Gao said as a matter of course: "Although this equipment has been tested many times, this is the first time it is actually used, so I have to be there."

Mr. Gao can't wait for our country to enter the photon era now, and he can't wait to promote the use of such equipment across the country. For the first official use of this equipment, he will definitely be on the scene to see the situation with his own eyes.

"Old Gao, how is your health? Can you handle it?" Ye Chen asked worriedly.

Gao Lao is getting old, almost eighty years old, and his health has always been a big problem.

"Don't worry, there's no problem." Elder Gao said with a smile.

Ye Chen believed that if Elder Gao wanted to participate in this exercise, he must have undergone a strict physical examination, and there should be no problems, so he was relieved.

However, Ye Chen became puzzled again, and said, "Old Gao, where are you? The team behind you can't be..."

Seeing the convoy of several heavy trucks, Ye Chen made a guess, his eyes widened, and his expression was disbelief.

"That's right, it's the anti-ship ballistic missile of our strategic forces." Admiral Gan nodded.

"Strategic troops also participate in the exercise?" Ye Chen was really surprised.

Regarding this exercise, Admiral Luo and the others did not disclose much information. Ye Chen asked, and they did not say much, they just said that they would know when the time came. Ye Chen never expected that the strategic forces would participate and use anti-ship ballistic missiles.

"Xiaoye, you know that our country is the only country in the world that possesses anti-ship ballistic missiles, which were forced out by the United States." Admiral Gan said solemnly, "Our country did not have a powerful navy at that time. Facing the U.S. aircraft carrier, there are not many countermeasures. The country has learned from the painful experience and is determined to develop anti-ship ballistic missiles. After so many years of hard work, our country has finally succeeded and can deal with the U.S. aircraft carrier."

"The strategic troops want to participate, so this exercise will be something to watch. I'm looking forward to it." Ye Chen's eyes were burning, and he couldn't stop rubbing his hands, wishing to see the strategic troops show their power immediately.

"Our country has made worldwide achievements in anti-ship ballistic guidance, which can provide strong support to the navy. However, in the final analysis, this weapon is still a defensive weapon in essence. If the US aircraft carrier does not enter our We have nothing to do if we are within the range of the target." Admiral Luo said with a serious face, "If we want to fundamentally solve this problem, we still have to develop our own navy, and let our navy become dark blue."

This is absolutely true.

The successful development of anti-ship ballistic missiles has given our country an additional means of dealing with US aircraft carriers. However, this weapon is still essentially a defensive weapon, not an offensive one. American aircraft carriers are out of range and out of reach.

If we want to fundamentally reverse the situation, we still need to vigorously develop the navy, build a blue-water navy, and let our country's navy go dark blue.

"Chief, you are very sober." Ye Chen admired Admiral Luo's character of seeking truth from facts.

"Through the efforts of the country, our country's navy has made great progress in recent years and has modern warships. However, it is not enough and not strong enough. It needs the support of our strategic forces." Admiral Gan took over the conversation.

Because of this, whenever the navy conducts large-scale military exercises, the strategic forces will take action.

"Chief, when will you take action?" Ye Chen asked expectantly.

"We'll have to wait." Admiral Gan said, "We're maneuvering now. We're going to conduct exercises against the background of actual combat. The convoy will keep maneuvering and won't stop until it's time to launch."

In modern warfare, to discover is to be eliminated. If you want not to be wiped out by the enemy, you must constantly maneuver. Especially strategic weapons such as anti-ship ballistic missiles must have good mobility. Otherwise, it will be beaten, and there are satellites watching it in the sky.

It is precisely because of this that the survivability of fixed launches is getting weaker and weaker, and they are rarely used.

"This is actual combat training!" Ye Chen agreed with this approach.

Admiral Gan talked with the strategic troops on Gao Lao's side to conduct tests, and the results were very good.

Gao Lao and the others are in the mountains, far away from the South China Sea, thousands of kilometers away. The test was successful, which means that this equipment is one step closer to actual use. Ye Chen is very pleased.

All the tests are done, it's time for the official command.

Admiral Luo gave an order, and the warship began to fire missiles.

One after another, the missiles were launched by the vertical launch system, piercing the sky like sharp swords.

Seeing this, Ye Chen was very excited, clenched his hands into fists and kept waving them.

Ye Chen didn't know how many videos of naval exercises he had watched. However, it was the first time to experience it personally, and it was much more exciting than watching a video, which made Ye Chen's blood boil.

After the missiles were lifted into the air, they flew towards their respective targets. It can be clearly seen on the screen that Ye Chen is happy for the great progress our country has made.

A missile hit the target, and a huge spark appeared.

Accurate!

Ye Chen waved his fist excitedly.
