103: Section 103

"The auxiliary energy can rely on combustible ice, and before this, we already obtained a method for its rapid extraction!"

"Replenishing the subsequent energy is even less of a problem. This space-air aircraft carrier possesses two sets of Lin's Fusion Power generation equipment, and is also equipped with heavy water processing facilities."

"The energy source for the space-air aircraft carrier is the boundless ocean!"

"While flying at low altitude, we can lower siphon pipelines to draw up vast amounts of seawater, which is then directly processed into heavy water for the Nuclear Fusion device."

"Moreover, the Lin's Fusion Power equipment, enhanced by this carrier, is more advanced and has a higher conversion efficiency than the first-generation Lin's Fusion Power we developed!"

"In terms of energy consumption, it can be said that as long as the ocean does not dry up, this space-air aircraft carrier will never land!"

As long as the ocean does not dry up, the carrier will not land!

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up involuntarily.

Why is the aircraft carrier considered standard equipment for a powerful nation?

It is because it reflects a nation's overall level of industrial manufacturing, research and development capabilities, and technological strength!

It is the only means to transform coastal defense into long-range enemy deterrence, ensuring the homeland remains safe from enemy missile and artillery damage!

And if they can successfully build this space-air aircraft carrier, which will permanently stand guard in the sky...

Indeed, just as Tian Xialong said, they will no longer fear the military threat from the Lighthouse Country!

Even if the Lighthouse Country unites with multiple nations to encircle and suppress Hua Nation, relying solely on this space-air aircraft carrier will be completely sufficient to keep all enemies outside the gate!

They could even execute ultra-long-range strikes targeting enemy territory!

And facing an attack method like the Super Electromagnetic Railgun, the enemy would not even possess the means to defend against it!

Qin Zhengtian, having heard all this, was already wide-eyed and brimming with excitement.

He immediately slapped the table and said excitedly:

"I believe this project must not only proceed immediately."

"We must even utilize the power of the entire nation to expedite the completion of this project!"

"Immediately halt all other projects, concentrate all engineers and researchers of Hua Nation, along with all military factories and heavy industry plants, and relevant domain enterprises. We must not overlook any strength we can muster!"

"This space-air aircraft carrier is destined to become the Guardian Deity of our Hua Nation!"

...Two.

Chapter 91: The Entire Nation Builds the space-air aircraft carrier! Lighthouse Carrier Presses the Border, World War Begins?!

"I agree!!"

"Approved!"

"This project is entirely beneficial now and advantageous for generations to come. It must be approved!"

"Even if it requires draining the entire nation's resources, we must build it!"

"Exactly!"

"Old Tian already said that the Lin Clan has practically taught us everything about building the space-air aircraft carrier hand-by-hand. If we can't even accomplish this, then we truly don't deserve to rise up!"

At the end of the meeting, everyone unanimously approved the commencement of the project.

Furthermore, all high-level leaders reached a unified consensus.

That is, it must be completed as soon as possible. Even if other aspects have to be postponed, this space-air aircraft carrier must be built first!

"At this point, we have to mention that Old Yun's previous decisions were indeed very sound!"

"This carrier itself requires the use of technologies that were previously breakthrough."

"Developing these technologies first means that building the space-air aircraft carrier afterward will yield twice the result with half the effort."

Chief Yun received numerous compliments, but he merely waved his hand and continued:

"My suggestion is to continue following the method Old Tian's team used previously when constructing that vehicle."

"Divide all equipment and components of the space-air aircraft carrier into multiple sub-projects, distributing them to all engineering teams across Hua Nation capable of undertaking the task!"

"Including the cutting-edge technology required for the carrier, such as chips smaller than one nanometer needed for its operation, relying solely on state-owned military factories would definitely be too slow."

"Yes, at this time, we must pool the strength of the entire nation to complete it!"

Chief Yun proposed involving every available resource throughout Hua Nation.

Because he had previously learned from Tian Xialong that all equipment could be manufactured independently and then assembled centrally.

Aside from some cutting-edge technologies, such as "Zero Three Zero," being entrusted to state-controlled military and heavy factories...

...tasks like deck processing and scaled material production can be entirely handed over to large factories or enterprises in related industries.

Just in time.

During the recent crises involving rare earth energy, chip blockade, and clean energy, many cancerous enterprises harboring harmful intentions against the nation were struck down.

This provided an opportunity to support a batch of enterprises that were committed to real work.

Now is the time for them to demonstrate their capabilities... After the meeting concluded, countless directives were transmitted downward layer by layer from the conference room.

To summarize the meaning in one sentence:

All industries needed to cooperate with the higher authorities to complete the project.

The state would provide generous subsidies.

However, such a large-scale mobilization of the entire nation's resources was significant, and the abnormality was quickly detected by the other side of the ocean.

And at this moment.

The President of the Lighthouse Country had personally arrived aboard the Kendy that had just been launched for official service.

Feeling the sea breeze gently blowing, his mood was clearly excellent.

"I heard that Hua Nation started making moves after being suppressed by our military strength?"

The President's tone was somewhat careless.

But he couldn't be blamed for that.

After all, as the nation with undoubtedly the strongest military power in the contemporary world, they possessed this confidence.

Even if they were hit in other industries.

As long as their fist remained the biggest, their voice in international affairs would still be firmly held by the Lighthouse Country!

"Mr. President, they have indeed made several moves recently. It appears their military factories are increasing the quantity of equipment."

"It looks like they want to increase their military preparedness."

Upon hearing this, the President couldn't help but sneer.

What good is increased military preparedness? It can only serve as a means of defense.

So-called defense is, frankly, just taking a beating.

Only by possessing absolute offensive capabilities can one truly seize the initiative.

And the Kendy aircraft carrier he stood upon was the absolute overlord-class military equipment on Blue Star!

Only aircraft carriers are capable of participating in deep-ocean warfare.

Every aircraft carrier can be viewed as an independent military force.

They already led the world in the military strength provided by aircraft carriers, and now they had once again added two brand-new, next-generation aircraft carriers.

The equipment was more advanced, the power stronger, the displacement larger, and the number of carrier-based aircraft greater!

They would undoubtedly become the absolute overlords of the ocean!

Without an aircraft carrier, even fighter jets capable of crossing the ocean cannot become absolute strike weapons due to fuel consumption issues.

As for the so-called strongest land military equipment—tanks, armored vehicles, and so on...

...they can only operate near the national territory and still lack direct means for deep-ocean warfare.

It was precisely because of this.

That the Lighthouse Country, concerning the military blockade against Hua Nation, always maintained the stance that other areas could be relaxed, but aircraft carriers must be tightly controlled, absolutely preventing Hua Nation from making progress in this field.

Over the years, as Hua Nation successively added two aircraft carriers, the Lighthouse Country had become somewhat wary.

If they hadn't seen that Hua Nation's aircraft carriers still used the most basic propulsion systems instead of nuclear power, the Lighthouse Country definitely would have intervened, even trying every means to sabotage them secretly.

However, large projects like aircraft carrier construction are inherently difficult to conceal.

Therefore, the Lighthouse Country constantly kept a close watch on cities surrounding Hua Nation's various sea areas, checking if they intended to increase their aircraft carrier capabilities.

As for other military preparedness... "Mr. President, the intelligence department reported that none of Hua Nation's Seven Major Shipyards currently show signs of manufacturing a carrier project."

"Furthermore, even if they were to temporarily add a project now, it would likely take several years to complete."

"After all, their aircraft carrier technology is not mature to begin with. Even their current three vessels have flaws. If they proceed to build the next one without addressing these issues, then we have nothing to worry about."

Listening to the secretary's report, the President nodded in agreement.

Shipyards worldwide are almost all openly visible.

After all, a shipyard must be located near rivers, lakes, or the sea, which significantly narrows the scope of others' detection.

Almost all countries assess the scale of other countries' shipyards.

Evaluating whether they possess the scale and capability to construct an aircraft carrier.

The Lighthouse Country did the same, assessing that Hua Nation had a total of seven shipyards, only two of which were evaluated as capable of building aircraft carriers.

But neither those two nor the remaining five show any signs of commencing construction.

This means that Hua Nation will fundamentally be unable to produce a brand-new aircraft carrier for at least several years.

And since what they are building is not an aircraft carrier...

...the President of the Lighthouse Country truly isn't afraid of military equipment manufacturing in other areas.
