145: Chapter 145 Researchers need a heart that works like crazy!

Snapping back to reality, Xu Hao looked at the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier in the [MOSS Technology System].

On the system panel, a giant Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier floated quietly.

Beside it were its detailed specifications.

Hull number 20, the lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

It used a flat-top deck, and the island was very small, lacking the massive smokestacks found on conventional aircraft carriers like the LN Ship and SD Ship.

The flight deck adopted a layout of three catapults and three elevators.

Looking at it as a whole...

This Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier with hull number 20 was approximately 350 meters long, with a hull width of 41 meters and a flight deck width of 80 meters.

The average draft was about 13 meters.

The average full-load displacement was over 100,000 tons.

Seeing this, Xu Hao was slightly stunned.

"Over 100,000 tons... exactly how much 'over' is it?"

The system did not specify.

But according to the data provided, the full-load displacement was definitely more than 100,000 tons!

Xu Hao couldn't help but grumble to himself, "Does the system like this sort of thing too?!"

After finishing these simple parameters, Xu Hao focused his gaze on the propulsion system of the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier.

After all...

The most outstanding and valued aspect of a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier is its nuclear propulsion system.

The lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier used the Linglong Nuclear Reactor.

A single unit's output power could reach 200,000 horsepower.

In terms of size, the Linglong Nuclear Reactor was no more than 14 meters high, and its length and width were both under 10 meters.

"Hiss... that much power?!"

Xu Hao was surprised.

The size of the reactor had decreased, but the output power had increased; that was a bit terrifying.

One should know that the combined output of the two nuclear reactors on the USA's Nimitz-class Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers was only 260,000 horsepower.

But now, a single nuclear reactor on the lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier reached 200,000 horsepower.

Looking across the many nations of Planet Blue, this was in a class of its own.

Because on an aircraft carrier, the more nuclear reactors there are, the more powerful the endurance of the nuclear propulsion.

Of course...

The space on an aircraft carrier is limited; it's impossible to use too much interior cabin space for nuclear reactors.

Doing so would not only cause the carrier's combat capability to plummet but also bring many uncertain dangers due to the excessive number of nuclear reactors.

The USA's Nimitz-class Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers only use two Westinghouse A4W Pressurized Water Reactors in series.

Its sailing speed can be maintained at around 30 knots, with a sea endurance of up to 90 days.

Clearly, the endurance of the lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier far exceeded that of the USA's Nimitz Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers.

According to the parameters provided by the system...

The lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier also used two Linglong Pressurized Water Reactors in series, with a combined output power of 2x200,000 horsepower and a sailing speed stably maintained at 35 knots.

Its endurance lasted up to 120 days.

Furthermore, every time it returned to port for supplies, there was no need to refuel with massive amounts of fuel; it could return to the front line of combat just by quickly replenishing ammunition and food.

After reading all this, Xu Hao was truly shocked by the powerful performance of the lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

"Products from the system are bound to be masterpieces!!"

Xu Hao exclaimed.

His consciousness withdrew from the system, his deep eyes looking out at the clear moonlight.

In the future... the Dragon Kingdom will also have its own Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier!!

For decades, the only countries on Planet Blue with nuclear power were the USA and France.

Among them, France had only one Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier, and because its nuclear reactor was transplanted directly from a nuclear submarine, its power was severely insufficient, with a speed barely reaching 25 knots, which also affected the takeoff of carrier-based aircraft.

The USA, on the other hand, had a full 11 Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers.

Since 1961, the USA has possessed the first Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier on Planet Blue, named the Enterprise.

From then until now, the USA's Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier technology has gradually improved.

From the first-generation carrier 'Enterprise' to the later development and upgrade to the second-generation 'Nimitz-class' carriers.

Later, the 'Ford-class' carrier was developed from the 'Nimitz'.

A true Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier superpower.

With such globally unique Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier technology, the USA would remain the hegemon of the seas for a long time to come.

However, now, this situation is likely to be broken.

Xu Hao sneered.

"Eagle, your 'blessings' are still to come..."

The USA, relying on its Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers, dominates the seas and runs all over the world.

Furthermore, it has built many military ports in many countries surrounding the Dragon Kingdom.

South Korea, the Kingdom of Fusang, and others all have USA ports.

This has made the USA even more reckless, appearing in sensitive waters around the Dragon Kingdom from time to time, exercising its so-called 'world police' authority.

Thinking of this, Xu Hao felt a faint surge of anger.

Over the years, the USA has done plenty of such things, repeatedly provoking the Dragon Kingdom, especially regarding the Treasure Island issue.

Xu Hao took a deep breath to calm himself down.

In the past, he might have seen these things and been completely helpless, only able to join thousands of netizens in giving the USA a harmless scolding.

But now, it was different!

Xu Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Once the Dragon Kingdom possesses the lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, it will also have blue-water combat capabilities.

The USA dares to sail its carriers and bring its lackeys to wander around the Dragon Kingdom's waters.

Similarly, the Dragon Kingdom can take the lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group for a stroll in the USA's backyard.

It is impolite not to reciprocate!!!

Thinking of this, an idea immediately formed in Xu Hao's mind.

"In that case, I'll get the design plan done right now!"

No sooner said than done, Xu Hao immediately fetched a stack of white paper, picked up a pen, and began to write out all the design drafts for the lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Elder Zhou had invited him to Longdu many times; now that the H-20 Project was over, the lg-20 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier should be put on the agenda.

Using this opportunity, he could discuss it with Elder Zhou.

He believed he would be very interested in this.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was late into the night.

During this time, Wang Qian entered the office several times. Seeing Xu Hao buried in his designs, she sighed softly with a hint of resentment, but not wanting to disturb him, she thoughtfully refilled his tea and then quietly withdrew.

Until late at night, when she walked in again, she found Xu Hao was still writing.

Her head throbbed, her eyes drooped, and finally unable to hold out any longer, she went to sleep first.

Xu Hao kept writing and writing until the next morning. Eventually, he was so exhausted that he collapsed onto the desk and fell asleep.

Wang Qian got up and walked in, feeling a pang of heartache when she saw Xu Hao with his face pressed against the desk.

Seeing him sleeping so soundly, she couldn't bear to wake him, so she took off her coat, gently covered him with it, and quietly closed the door to let him rest well.

Over the next few days, Xu Hao wrote after eating, slept when he was tired, and wrote again upon waking.

Wang Qian watched all this and silently marveled:

"Researchers are truly terrifying!!"

In this way, after writing for nearly a week, on a clear morning, Xu Hao finally let out a long breath and put down his pen, sporting two large dark circles under his eyes.

"Whew... finally finished!"

Xu Hao's voice was a bit hoarse, but his face was filled with undisguised excitement.
