Chapter 180 Invincible in the World
The energy and propulsion systems of the Aerospace Carrier are absolutely the two systems with the highest manufacturing difficulty!
For a million-ton Aerospace Carrier, the requirements for the propulsion and energy systems are exceptionally high!
It can even be said that as long as these two systems are solved, one can infinitely manufacture interstellar warships weighing under one million tons!
And yet, such extremely difficult systems have actually been sorted out!
This statement brought a huge psychological shock to these two researchers!
And Su Chen continued:
"I have already completed the manufacturing of the propulsion system, and I have also built two Nuclear Fusion Reactors as the energy system for the Aerospace Carrier!"
Old Zhao only just realized at this moment:
"So those things you sent over were actually the propulsion and energy systems for the Aerospace Carrier!"
"No wonder!"
At this point, the two could no longer hold back; their hearts were filled with shock and admiration.
In other words, he not only finished building the energy and propulsion systems!
He even sent them over to them!
The efficiency is just too high!
They now believe that the young man in front of them might truly be the Chief Engineer of the Aerospace Carrier!
His ability and efficiency are terrifying!
At this moment, their attitude became noticeably more humble.
One of them asked Su Chen:
"Chief Engineer Su, could you tell us what the propulsion system of the Aerospace Carrier is like?"
"To be able to suspend this million-ton Aerospace Carrier, it certainly isn't an ordinary propulsion system!"
"We are all very curious about how you achieved it!"
These two researchers were clearly much older than Su Chen!
Yet they were able to ask questions without feeling ashamed, showing the qualities and demeanor of true scholars!
Su Chen also patiently answered their questions:
"It is the Anti-gravity Engine."
"Currently, the only known technical means capable of carrying an Aerospace Carrier is the Anti-gravity Engine!"
The two were shocked beyond measure, their eyes flashing with excitement.
"It's actually the Anti-gravity Engine!"
"You even developed the Anti-gravity Engine? Is this for real?"
Su Chen calmly stated:
"In fact, it has already been tested."
"The test results were quite good; the force field generated is sufficient to make the Aerospace Carrier hover!"
The admiration the two felt for Su Chen in their hearts could no longer be described in words!
They could only exclaim: "You are just too powerful!"
Old Zhao was somewhat surprised to see them so shocked.
"Is the Anti-gravity Engine that impressive?"
One of them excitedly explained:
"Of course it's impressive! The Anti-gravity Engine is currently still in the theoretical exploration stage!"
"No, to be precise, it has already been broken through by Chief Engineer Su."
"But before this, it only existed in science fiction."
"If it weren't for Chief Engineer Su proposing the construction of the Aerospace Carrier, we really wouldn't dare believe he could manufacture an Anti-gravity Engine!"
"And the core of the Aerospace Carrier is the Anti-gravity Engine; we can do without an Aerospace Carrier, but we absolutely cannot do without the Anti-gravity Engine!"
"It can even be said that as long as we have the Anti-gravity Engine, we can manufacture space warships at will!"
As he spoke, he looked at Su Chen as if admiring a god, and said:
"Of course, all of this needs to be carried out under the leadership of Chief Engineer Su."
These researchers also knew that without the blueprints and technology provided by Su Chen, they had no way to manufacture space warships at will.
Therefore, all of his assertions were inseparable from Su Chen!
After hearing their explanation, Old Zhao and the person in charge finally understood the power of the Anti-gravity Engine.
This was not just the core of the Aerospace Carrier, but also the fundamental core technology for them to assemble the Space Fleet in the future.
Old Zhao felt deeply moved.
Fortunately, Su Chen was born in the Dragon Country, and he is so sincere; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At this time, the person in charge took the opportunity to ask Su Chen a question:
"Chief Engineer Su, this Aerospace Carrier is a carrier platform; do you have any plans to produce carrier-based aircraft in the future?"
"If so, I think now that the project work for the Aerospace Carrier has entered the finishing stage, we can start the manufacturing work for the carrier-based aircraft!"
Su Chen calmly explained: "That won't be necessary; in fact, the carrier-based aircraft are already in production, but they are not carrier-based aircraft, but carrier-based Space Mecha."
After speaking, he emphasized:
"Actually, the Space Mecha is the carrier-based mecha for the Aerospace Carrier!"
Everyone was shocked, especially Old Zhao!
"Little Su, the Space Mecha is the carrier-based mecha for the Aerospace Carrier?"
"This is simply invincible!"
He knew the power of the Space Mecha; a single Space Mecha could easily destroy an Air Force formation of the Eagle Sauce.
At full combat capacity, handling the entire Air Force of the Eagle Sauce would be no problem!
And an Aerospace Carrier equipped with this kind of mecha would absolutely have terrifying combat power!
And this was not yet the limit of the Aerospace Carrier!
Su Chen smiled calmly: "What is this?"
"In the future, we can also consider equipping the Aerospace Carrier with Electromagnetic Naval Guns! And the kind that is equipped all around!"
"Equipped all around???" At this point, Old Zhao could no longer hold back!
"The Aerospace Carrier is so huge! That would mean thousands of them!"
"Thousands of Electromagnetic Naval Guns—if the Trisolarans came, they would also have to praise it, saying, 'This firework is quite spectacular.'"
Not only that, Su Chen also said:
"In the future, we will also equip the Aerospace Carrier with Artificial Intelligence!"
"To achieve intelligent control!"
The image of the Aerospace Carrier appeared in Old Zhao's mind!
The elderly man, over sixty years of age, felt as if hot blood was burning within him at this moment!
He was inexplicably fired up!
He said directly!
"With these systems, the combat power of the Aerospace Carrier will definitely be significantly improved."
"Invincible in the world!"
"Hahahaha!"
Old Zhao's excitement infected everyone present!
Although they didn't know much about the Space Mecha and lacked understanding of the Electromagnetic Naval Guns, they could tell from the reaction of the weathered Old Zhao that an Aerospace Carrier equipped with these would have absolutely astonishing combat power!
Their hearts also grew more and more expectant for the day of the Aerospace Carrier's maiden voyage.
After checking the current progress of the Aerospace Carrier, Old Zhao led Su Chen back to his office.
Now that the Aerospace Carrier was nearing completion, he had some heartfelt words he wanted to ask Su Chen.
Su Chen took a sip of the good tea that Old Zhao had personally poured for him and asked: "Old Zhao, what question do you want to ask? Just ask directly."
Old Zhao grinned:
"Actually, it's not a profound question, it's just that I'm very curious... hmm..."
Old Zhao hesitated to speak, but finally said: "You brat, tell me... if this Aerospace Carrier is built in the future, who will it belong to?"
"It definitely belongs to our Dragon Country!" Su Chen did not hesitate at all!
Old Zhao clicked his tongue: "That definitely belongs to our Dragon Country!"
"Such a good treasure can only belong to us!"
"I'm asking about its affiliation!"
"Tell me, should it belong to our Navy... or the Air Force!"
Su Chen burst into laughter upon hearing this question.
Laughing until he was doubled over!
"You brat, you're still laughing? For this question, I've been so worried that I haven't been able to sleep well for several nights!"
"Tell me quickly, tell me your thoughts!"
In fact, Old Zhao had really been so bothered by this question these days that he couldn't eat or drink, and he had long wanted to talk to Su Chen about it!
The Space Mecha belongs to the Air Force, warships belong to the Navy, so what exactly does this Aerospace Carrier... belong to?
The Air Force or the Navy?
If it were equipped for the Navy, that would be fine, but if it were equipped for the Air Force, that would really be thankless work!
Although it is all for the country!
But Old Zhao really loves this Aerospace Carrier too much!
He even acted a bit petulant and said:
"Anyway, I think that since this Aerospace Carrier has the word 'Carrier' in it, it should be ours in the Navy!"
But when he said these words, Su Chen noticed:
"Old Zhao! Your confidence is clearly a bit lacking!"
