Seeing that the aircraft carrier was about to dock, Feng Tiecheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to the workers beside him and said:

"This thing is really big. Why didn't you think it was that big when you were on the boat before?"

After hearing his words, the worker replied:

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain. It's normal. Our previous construction schedule was too tight and we were too tired. Every time we got off work, we wanted to go back and rest quickly, and we didn't bother to look back at the boat we built.

"

"Looking at it now, Huo is really awesome."

"I can't even imagine how we made it."

"Yes. Hey, Lao Liu, do you think we will have a chance to build a new aircraft carrier after this time? I'm talking about a brand new one!"

"Of course there is."

Old Liu looked matter-of-factly and continued:

"There are more than one ship. Let me do the math for you. I am thirty this year and will have at least 35 years left until I retire at the age of 65."

"I won't say it's too fast to build a new aircraft carrier. One aircraft carrier will be built every five years. At least I can build another seven."

"There are a total of 8 aircraft carriers, which is enough for me to take a good look at before I die."

"Hehe. It's true."

The two of them couldn't help but giggle, and Chen Nian couldn't help but smile after listening to the whole story.

To say that workers are more courageous, at this point in time, I am afraid that even many superior leaders do not dare to imagine a world of "eight aircraft carriers"

While they were talking, the queue review had been completed and the naming ceremony was about to begin.

Different from the regular operation of the 055 ship, this No. 001 aircraft carrier did not complete the assignment and naming of the hull number after being listed in accordance with the requirements of the Navy's ship naming regulations.

In fact, due to the high level of attention paid to this ship, it had already completed the assignment and naming of its hull number three months before it was launched.

Hull number 11, name Liaoning.

The reason why 16 was not selected as the ship number according to the serial number of the Deep Blue 16 project is actually very simple.

Because Chen Nian feels that in this world, China must have at least 10 aircraft carrier formations, and according to convention, the serial number of the second aircraft carrier is usually the first one plus one.

With hull number 20, there are only 5 aircraft carriers. So where are they enough?

So, it’s better not to worry about the meaning and just go to 11, it’s simple and easy to remember.

Of course, from another perspective, the reason why the previous aircraft carrier was called 16 was actually an accidental choice, and there is no need to continue it.

After submitting his suggestion, his superiors quickly approved it and also made the decision to advance the naming ceremony to be held together with the launching ceremony.

——

At this time, Zhu Yingfu, the chief engineer of the Deep Blue 16 project, had already walked to the front of the crowd.

Opposite him was Mr. Liu, who was specially arranged to receive the naming certificate from him.

Mr. Liu's body stood upright, showing no trace of slump.

If Chen Nian hadn't known about his physical condition a long time ago, he would have even thought that Mr. Liu was just a strong old man.

It was obvious that he had been waiting for this day for too long.

Facing the direction of the crowd, he raised his arms and gave a standard military salute.

Later, he took over the significant certificate from Zhu Yingfu.

The next second, the champagne hanging on the bow of the ship shattered, and colorful smoke sprayed into the air on both sides of the giant ship.

A deep and majestic whistle sounded, and then all the ships in the harbor began to whistle in unison.

The crowd burst into irrepressible cheers, and Feng Tiecheng beside Chen Nian never stopped clapping. It wasn't until the smoke dispersed that he stood still again and looked toward the rear of the aircraft carrier.

There, two tugboats approached the dock and slowly towed the dock gate open.

Immediately afterwards, the tugboat entered the dock, hung up the towing rope, and towed the aircraft carrier out of the dock.

More tugboats also began to approach. With the help of these tugboats, the aircraft carrier completed the steering on the sea and headed towards the intended dock where it would finally berth.

The whole process was actually extremely dull, even a little boring.

The launch of the dry dock does not have the majestic scene of splashing water when the slipway is launched.

But everyone present felt the unparalleled momentum of the aircraft carrier the moment it really started moving.

The people waiting at the pier were like ants, quietly watching the mountain peaks go away.

At this moment, everyone knew that this aircraft carrier, which had gone through many hardships, would officially embark on its journey.

Liaoning.

Not only the Liaohe River is peaceful, but also the town of Liaoyongning!
