Chapter 281 The core transformation work is completed, Varyag is no more!

Dalian Shipyard. Chen Nian was sitting in his office, concentrating on sorting out the technical documents used in the 055D and making final checks and corrections.

Like the output process, this is also a work that is not complicated but consumes a lot of energy. In the words of some leaders, this is purely "transactional" work and should be left to other lower-level employees to do it.

of.

Of course Chen Nian wanted to do this, but unfortunately, at the beginning of the birth of a technology, no one except himself, the original developer, could see the data and process errors at a glance, nor could he correct them.

So no matter how complicated it was, he could only do it himself.

But the good thing is that every time you sort out the documents, your mind's understanding of this technology will deepen. Even after reviewing the past and learning the new, new ideas and new creations can be sprouted, which will bring source of income.

So all in all, he is not tired of this work - doing these things is at least more interesting than paying attention to the movements of the U.S. Fifth Fleet.

Yes, Chen Nian received relevant information shortly after the Fifth Fleet launched its expansion, but he was not surprised by this at all.

Increasing troops and encircling it is just the most basic operation. The island country in the previous life even sent many frogmen to Djibouti to detect the situation of our ships and steal military intelligence through diving.

At that time, Chen Nian came up with an idea on the forum, suggesting that the authorities sink a minesweeper to create a nest, then use the live wire for the main line, the neutral wire for the sub-line, and adjust the drift to 20,000 volts to directly solve the problem once and for all.

If the island nation protests, just say that the minesweeper is leaking electricity - anyway, they swam here themselves, and they can't blame others.

It is a pity that China's military strength in the previous life was not enough to support itself in breaking out, and this plan was never implemented.

But now that Chen Nian has the right to speak, he really wants to do such immoral things.

However, let's wait until the warship arrives to see the specific situation.

The most important thing now is to continue to work on technology, develop sources, and strive to quickly develop the future technology of metal hydrogen batteries.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian closed the compiled documents and called Chen Guo.

After the call was connected, Chen Nian said bluntly:

"Professor Chen, I need assistance."

Chen Guo on the other end of the phone was not surprised by Chen Nian's request, and he immediately replied:

"No problem, all scientific researchers across the country can be mobilized at your disposal."

"Tell me, who do you want? I'll contact their supervisor."

"It would be more convenient if it was an internal member of the Spark Team."

Chen Nian smiled and said slightly teasingly:

"I'm afraid it might be a bit troublesome this time. What I need is not someone from China, but a professor from Harvard University named Isaac Silvera."

"Who? I've never heard of this name at all!"

Chen Guo's tone was a little confused, but Chen Nian was not surprised by this either.

In fact, the real fame of this professor named Isaac Silvera will have to wait until 10 years later, when his team publishes the "research results on room temperature superconducting materials."

At that time, he claimed that together with his research team, he had completed the first synthesis of metallic hydrogen in human history under the ultra-strong pressure of 5 million atmospheres, and successfully measured its ultra-low resistance and ultra-strong diamagnetic properties.

However, when the outside world asked him to show his results, he refused to show the samples on the grounds that "the samples were lost due to improper operation".

Obviously, this will definitely cause doubts about the authenticity of the experiment. Many researchers with the same conditions have tried to reproduce the experimental results, but they have not succeeded.

Isaac was quickly pushed to the forefront of doubts, and in the end, he had to publicly admit that even if the process was strictly followed, the possibility of the experiment being successful was extremely low.

As soon as the statement was issued, the academic circles immediately divided into three voices:

The first is that Isaac did fake it, and his experimental process is not credible at all. This is pure academic fraud.

The second is that Isaac did not falsify. After all, metallic hydrogen is a new material that humans have never seen before. It is understandable that various accidents occurred during the preservation and testing process.

The third group believes that Isaac has committed fraud to a certain extent, but the research ideas and experimental methods he proposed are feasible.

The view held by China is the third.

Of course, so does Chen Nian.

Therefore, the reason why he wanted to find Isaac was also very clear, that is, he wanted to determine the correct synthesis method and synthesis route of metallic hydrogen through communication with him.

——

No, Chen Nianke plans to cooperate with Isaac.

He never thought of sharing a strategic-level new technology like metallic hydrogen with anyone.

He just wanted to use Isaac and his rich experience and long-term research results in this field to provide him with a basis for "trial and error".

This is one of the extended uses of the system. If used properly, it may save him a lot of source points.

After all, a full 340 source point consumption, even compared to his current average of 3.5 points at the peak stage, is definitely a big number.

Not to mention that this average is constantly falling, and it may not be long before it falls below 2

If you can save a little, why do you have to pay for it yourself when you can pay for someone else?

Thinking of this, Chen Nian opened his mouth and replied:

"This is a scholar in the field of high-pressure physics. He has in-depth research on metallic hydrogen materials and is technically credible."

"However, this person may not be reliable."

"I don't need you to poach him. I just need to get as much technical ideas as possible for making metallic hydrogen from him in the name of exchange and cooperation."

"I understand, you want to get inspiration from him, right?"

"That's right!"

After hearing Chen Nian's answer, Chen Guo did not hesitate and immediately said:

"No problem, I'll leave this part of the work to the Materials Research Institute."

"In addition, we have also done some research on metallic hydrogen ourselves - although it is indeed far behind the international advanced level, we can summarize it and give it to you as a reference."

"Of course - if you don't tell me, I will have to ask you for it."

Chen Nian answered with a smile

As a result, the plan for metallic hydrogen was finalized.

Chen Guo immediately started to form a technical team, output an exchange plan, and began to contact Isaac through various channels.

This kind of contact is not limited to academic and official contacts, but also includes the management of personal relationships.

To put it bluntly, it's just to brush up Isaac's favorability.

After all, only if Isaac no longer resists Chinese researchers will he be able to cooperate without prejudice, and the results that China can achieve will be more reliable.

A few days later, Chen Nian appeared near the latest 300,000-ton dock at Dalian Shipyard.

He is not here today to inspect the progress of the Deep Blue 16 project, or to inspect the construction progress of the No. 001 aircraft carrier.

He just wanted to be a witness to witness the iconic moment of this project launched in 2004.

And this sign is:

Remove the name.

In fact, after three full years of transformation, the "Varyag" is no longer what it looked like when it first arrived at the Dalian Shipyard.

The rusty exterior had long been cleaned, and the bottom of the ship was painted with black epoxy asphalt to prevent rust. The flight deck was also painted with green paint, and later with yellow heat-resistant paint.

Although the entire aircraft carrier cannot be said to be brand new, the atmosphere of decay and old age has been swept away.

In addition to its appearance, the aircraft carrier's internal facilities have also undergone major renovations.

The landing arresting device has been repaired. It is still using hydraulic arresting and will consider upgrading to electromagnetic arresting in the future.

The core modules such as the elevator, optical landing system, and flight control system have all been repaired, and other electronic equipment that has been decided to be updated has also had its base welded and space reserved.

At the same time, weapons and radars that were old and could not be replenished and repaired were all dismantled, and living facilities and living areas including life-saving, kitchen, laundry, and medical care were re-planned. Even decks and waterproof bulkheads were the largest projects.

The most difficult part of the repair has also been declared completed.

It can be said that the so-called "Varyag", except that it still retains the name "Varyag", is not the same ship at all.

Chen Nian looked at the "behemoth" in front of him and said with some emotion to Mr. Liu sitting next to him:

"I have heard the story of the Ship of Theseus before. For a long time, I always thought it was just a philosophical topic. I never thought that such a thing could actually happen in reality."

Hearing his words, Mr. Liu laughed and replied:

"It's not that exaggerated."

"Although this ship has indeed been modified a lot, and even a considerable part of the hull materials have been replaced, in the final analysis, its large frame has remained unchanged."

"If it is really the ship of Theseus, then the deck of this ship should not be warped, but should be flat."

Hearing Mr. Liu's words, Chen Nian was keenly aware of the regret in his tone, so he comforted him:

"It's okay. After this ship is launched, our second self-developed aircraft carrier will quickly follow."

"It will only take two or three years at most before a flat-deck aircraft carrier can be launched."
