Chapter 403: The American Ford-class nuclear-powered carrier

The technical difficulties and R&D funds here are huge. You should know that Americans spent a lot of money in the first place...

"Mr. Mawei, if we want to develop an aircraft carrier of the same level as you said, it is not easy to determine the specific amount. But one thing we can know is that 1 billion US dollars is not enough to develop it." The Ukrainian scientists present answered Mawei's question after careful consideration.

They don't know how much it will cost, they only know that it is not a small amount.

"1 billion US dollars is not enough, right? So what about 2 billion US dollars? I need specific numbers." Ma Wei said lightly in public. He is an arms dealer, not responsible for solving scientific problems, only responsible for spending money. Otherwise, why should he spend so much effort and invite so many scientists to come here?

As soon as Ma Wei finished speaking, he saw the 28 navigation scientists sitting in front of him shocked them by his simple and crude solution. 1 billion US dollars is not enough, then 2 billion is not even hesitant. Only so much rich people can make such a decision...

"2 billion US dollars, Mr. Mavi, we probably should be almost enough. If the R&D time is initially expected to be around 4 years?" Ukrainian scientists replied with an estimated response.

They have been dealing with the government for so many years, but have never seen any powerful person talking about investment and research and development like this. They don’t regard money as money, just the result.

"It's been too long for four years. The United States successfully developed an aircraft carrier with this type of data as early as 1961 and officially put into service. I only give you two years. By the way, I'm afraid you don't know. The United States is currently planning to build a second-level nuclear-powered aircraft carrier."

"Its full load displacement is 112,000 tons, its ship is 338 meters long and 41 meters wide, and it can carry 85 fixed-wing aircraft! If we don't hurry up, then all we can wait for is eliminated by the times." Mawei said loudly on the spot. He must put some pressure on these scientists.

Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier was a product of 40 years ago. In 2005, the United States officially began to build the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. By the time it was officially put into service, it would be the most powerful aircraft carrier in the world, no doubt about it. In this way, the strength gap between the US and Russian navies has widened again...

After hearing such explosive information from Mawei, the 28 navigation scientists present all looked surprised.

"What? The US Navy is already starting to develop a second-level nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?"

"The full load displacement of 112,000 tons is 15,000 tons more than that of Nimitz-class aircraft carriers."

"When we develop a carrier that matches the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier, the latest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the US Navy will be 45 years ahead of us..."

...

Feeling the gap between the two sides made the scientists present feel that time is tight.

"Mr. Mawei! If it takes two years, let's do our best!" Scientists were forced to Liangshan by Mawei. But they were not using the life-and-death method. Simply put, it was to put pressure and stimulate them so that they would stop giving up.

"Okay, we will provide all our strength to do whatever you need, whether it is funds or resources." This is what Mawei wants. The development of an aircraft carrier is not only an arms business, but also a manifestation of Russia's strength and glory.

...

After negotiations with scientists from both countries, Mavie left St. Petersburg and returned to Moscow. The rest of the matter was left to the scientists and the Russian Navy. He just had to wait for the final result.

Sitting on the plane back to Moscow, Mawei felt that time was really passing quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was December 26, 2002. It was about to enter 2003.

During this year, Mawei has done a lot of deeds. The most important thing is to create a smartphone and usher in a new digital era.

By the end of the year, the hottest thing in the circle of friends is to post the annual annual bill!

With the increasing popularity and credit of Alipay, the online shopping consumption model continues to improve. More and more domestic consumers have accepted the online shopping model and choose to shop on Alibaba platform. Including credit card swiping, card redeem, electricity bill payment, gas bill payment, etc., they can all be done through Alipay.

Therefore, it has become a major way for many people to show off their annual bills in Alipay.

"Oh! I accidentally spent another 1.6 million this year. It seems that I can't be so willful next year! I have to buy it!" A domestic tycoon shared the bill on his WeChat Moments using Google phone. He attracted many likes and messages from friends.

After seeing the sharing, some of his rich second-generation friends also logged into their Alipay accounts and posted this year's annual bills to their friends circle to show off.

"2.3 million consumption is only 89.93% of the country's users, ranking 14,310th in the country. It seems that the domestic consumption level is getting better and better! Last year, I spent 1.45 million and could even squeeze into the top 4,000 in the country." A rich and wealthy beauty pretended to complain in her circle of friends, but actually showed her presence.

She had some expectations for this year's ranking. She thought that she spent 850,000 more and should be able to squeeze into the top 2,000. But unexpectedly, she fell to 10,000. This shows that the online shopping model has been accepted by more and more wealthy people in China.

At this time, the top 100 domestic consumption tycoons received the most attention last year. Friends always come to ask how much their ranking is this year. They have risen or fallen, and how much money can they spend to enter.

Just ask this and you can know how much the top wealthy people in China spent on Alipay in 2002. By the way, you can also know the difference between themselves and the first echelon...

"Ma Wei, are you the number one in the country in this year's Alipay bill? How much did you spend? Share it and see! It seems that you haven't posted it in the circle of friends." Many people @Ma Wei in the WeChat group of domestic friends, want to know how much he has consumed this year and which one in the country.

At this time, Mawei was resting on the plane and did not see any messages. The mobile phone also changed into a silent mode. The private plane is equipped with wifi and does not need to turn off the electronic communication equipment like civil aviation planes to prevent signal interference. Therefore, there is no problem with mobile phones surfing the Internet, playing games, etc.
