Chapter 162 Million-Ton-Class Warship
In the Southern Sea Area of the Dragon Kingdom.
Along the long coastline, sunlight spilled across the shimmering sea surface.
A fleet slowly approached the port.
The sea breeze blew gently, flags fluttered, and General Zhao Yong stood at the bow of the flagship, his eyes full of anticipation.
In the distance, Su Chen had long been waiting at the pier.
His figure was upright and confident as he quietly awaited the return of the warships.
As the fleet gradually docked, General Zhao Yong couldn't wait to disembark, striding towards Su Chen.
Before Su Chen could even speak, General Zhao Yong asked eagerly:
"Little Su, how is it going with the new ship?"
"Tell me about it quickly."
In their previous communication, Su Chen had revealed his ideas regarding the new ship to General Zhao Yong!
In his concept, the new ship about to be manufactured was full of advanced technology, and its strategic significance was far beyond that of the Longwei-class Strategic Warship!
It was a leap from the seas of the Blue Star to the cosmos!
The scale was much larger than just a little bit!
However, Su Chen hadn't told General Zhao Yong too much, only briefly mentioning his ideas for the new ship and that its strategic significance was immense!
When he learned that Su Chen was going to build a new ship, and that it would be even more powerful than the Longwei-class Strategic Warship, General Zhao Yong immediately couldn't suppress his excited, trembling heart and urged his subordinates to push the power of the Longwei-class Strategic Warship to the maximum to hurry back to the base.
He even started asking Su Chen about the new ship the moment he got off the boat!
His eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, as if he had already seen the heroic posture of the new ship.
Su Chen nodded slightly, a confident smile on his face, and said:
"General Zhao Yong, let's talk as we walk!"
As he spoke, he cleared a path and walked side by side with General Zhao Yong towards the shipyard!
"During the time you were returning, I further refined my concept for the new ship!"
"At the same time, I also discovered some key issues regarding construction that need to be solved urgently!"
General Zhao Yong quickly replied: "Whatever the problem, just bring it up!"
"As long as the new ship can be built, even if it costs me my life, I won't hesitate!"
Su Chen chuckled: "It won't come to that!"
"First of all, the shipyard needs to be renovated and upgraded!"
He glanced at the Longhang Shipyard beneath his feet; now, with the manufacturing needs of the Strategic Warship, the scale of Longhang Shipyard had more than doubled!
It had become the largest shipyard in the Dragon Kingdom!
However!
"The scale of Longhang Shipyard still needs to continue expanding!"
Hearing this, General Zhao Yong was slightly stunned and looked around at the massive shipyard.
Inside the shipyard, various equipment stood in forests, and the huge dry docks and gantry cranes highlighted its scale.
"Isn't this big enough?"
General Zhao Yong asked in confusion.
Su Chen smiled, shook his head, and said: "Although it is already very large!"
"It is far from meeting the needs of building the new ship!"
General Zhao Yong was completely dumbfounded!
Goodness!
Just how big was the new ship Su Chen wanted to build!
You have to know, the current scale of Longhang Shipyard already met the manufacturing requirements for a 100,000-ton displacement warship!
Even a super aircraft carrier was at most this big!
And this still didn't satisfy the manufacturing needs of the new ship!
And it was far from satisfying it...
Thinking of this, he silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked:
"Little Su, give me the bottom line. How big is the new ship you want to build this time?"
"It couldn't possibly..."
He held up two thumbs:
"It couldn't possibly be 200,000 tons, right!"
Su Chen didn't beat around the bush with General Zhao Yong and also held up one finger, saying:
"General Zhao Yong, the tonnage of the new ship will be about one million tons!"
"What?????"
"One... million tons?????"
Looking at the finger Su Chen held up, General Zhao Yong's eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, and he was completely stunned.
An unimaginably huge ship hull instantly appeared in his mind, and it took a long while for him to come back to his senses.
"One million tons? This... how is this possible?"
General Zhao Yong's voice trembled slightly!
One million tons was equivalent to the size of ten Longwei-class Strategic Warships combined!
It could be said to be the size of a small island!
He looked again at Su Chen's firm gaze and knew that the kid wasn't teasing him!
He was serious!
In fact, General Zhao Yong had already prepared himself mentally!
Every time, Su Chen's concepts were unexpected!
Even if Su Chen really intended to build a 200,000-ton super warship this time, he wouldn't be too surprised!
After all, this was Su Chen!
However, he still underestimated Su Chen!
Su Chen didn't even care for a 200,000-ton class warship!
This time, he was preparing to build a million-ton class warship!
General Zhao Yong felt his blood burning!
Thinking that this concept was proposed by Su Chen, he was so excited that he trembled all over!
This was Su Chen!
An existence who could build anything, no matter how exaggerated the concept!
Of course, because this concept was too exaggerated, General Zhao Yong still felt a bit unsure, so he tentatively asked:
"Is this... really buildable?"
Su Chen looked at General Zhao Yong's shocked expression and said firmly:
"General Zhao Yong, I know this is amazing, but I have the confidence to complete it."
"As long as we proceed according to the plan, we will definitely be able to achieve it."
General Zhao Yong pondered for a moment, recalling the miracles Su Chen had created in the past, as well as the outstanding performance of those advanced warships on the battlefield, which filled his heart with pride.
"Good, Little Su, since you are so confident, I will definitely support you with all my strength."
General Zhao Yong gripped Su Chen's hand tightly, his eyes full of trust.
Subsequently, Su Chen began to inspect the shipyard.
As he walked, he carefully observed the various facilities of the shipyard, constantly conceiving the construction plan for the new ship in his mind.
General Zhao Yong followed behind him, occasionally asking some questions.
When Su Chen walked to a large dry dock, he stopped, looked up at the roof of the shipyard, and said to General Zhao Yong:
"General Zhao Yong, have someone dismantle this roof, but don't move the frame of the shipyard."
General Zhao Yong was again confused and asked uncomprehendingly:
"If you don't move the frame, how will the ship get out when it's done?"
"It can't fly out, right!"
Su Chen raised his finger, pointed to the sky, and smiled: "Indeed, it will... fly out."
General Zhao Yong looked in the direction Su Chen pointed, his eyes widened instantly, and his face again showed an expression of shock.
"Fly out? So this million-ton class warship of yours is... a flying warship???"
His voice was full of disbelief.
Su Chen nodded and began to explain his concept in detail:
"General Zhao Yong, by utilizing some of our existing advanced technologies, plus my design optimizations for the new ship, we can fully achieve the capability for the warship to fly!"
"This will not only change our way of fighting, but also allow us to occupy a greater strategic advantage."
Listening to Su Chen's explanation, the shock in General Zhao Yong's heart was gradually replaced by excitement.
With the Longwei-class Strategic Warship as such a powerful weapon in the sea area!
If a million-ton class warship could also be manufactured for the airspace...
My goodness!
I'm already at an age where I'm about to be buried!
Do I still have the chance to witness history?
