As everyone knew, whether it was a nuclear powered aircraft carrier or a nuclear powered submarine, the key was the miniaturized nuclear reactor.
In the field of nuclear applications, the Dragon Country had always been at the forefront of the world and did not lag behind other countries.
For example, the most well-known nuclear power plant was a typical nuclear application technology.
However, if he wanted to use a huge nuclear core as a power source for a ship or submarine, he first had to make it smaller.
However, it was actually very difficult to make it small.
The nuclear core of a nuclear power plant was actually very large. Coupled with the huge structure needed to cool the core and the part that ultimately converted heat into electricity, it was a complete nuclear power plant system.
This was a very complicated systematic project. It was not something that could be done by reducing the scale of the nuclear power plant.
It was easy to say that he would also modify the aircraft carrier.
However, if Su Yu and the others really designed and built a nuclear power system that could be used for aircraft carriers from scratch, then the amount of work would far exceed the carrier-based aircraft project.
It could even be said that designing and manufacturing a miniaturized nuclear power system for an aircraft carrier was more complicated than building an aircraft carrier.
This was also why there were so few countries in the world that actually owned next-powered aircraft carriers.
Not only was the technical requirement very high, but it also required a lot of time and resources.
But now, this kind of cutting-edge technology was within Su Yu's grasp!
Sitting in the jeep that was traveling at 70 miles per hour, Su Yu's heartbeat doubled to more than 140.
...........
Su Yu's heart was currently experiencing a violent storm like shock.
However, in the outside world, the jeep drove into a very clean small courtyard. The trees were shady, and there was a small vegetable garden beside it. The surroundings were very quiet, forming a strong contrast with Su Yu's heart.
The jeep drove through the middle of the courtyard and saw a few buildings.
This was the 314 Design Institute.
Unlike what Su Yu had imagined, the 314 Design Institute didn't have many facilities. Compared to the other research institutes that Su Yu had seen, it seemed a lot more monotonous.
There were only four or five buildings in the courtyard, and it was clear at a glance.
At this moment, Fatty Wang, who was beside him, also temporarily acted as a tour guide.
"Our small courtyard is quite good, right? It has the characteristics of the south.”
"However, because our academy specializes in the research of surface warships, the design institute itself does not have many facilities.”
" Most of the time, the researchers in the institute are running between the shipyards.”
Fatty Wang explained a little and Su Yu quickly understood.
The 314 Design Institute was indeed specialized in researching all kinds of surface warships.
Because of this, they did not need any special facilities.
At most, he would organize information and draw designs in the office.
Since they were going to build ships, they would have to travel between various processing plants.
Soon, the jeep stopped in front of a three-story building.
The small building looked a little old, but the interior was very bright.
Under Li Changkong's lead, everyone followed him into the conference room on the second floor of the small building.
As soon as he entered, Su Yu could not help but feel nervous.
The meeting room was much bigger than he had imagined, but it was already filled with people. There were roughly 20 to 30 of them, and they were discussing something intensely.
"I think we still need to change the lift layout of the body!”
"That's nonsense. If we change the lift layout, wouldn't that be equivalent to changing everything?”
"Wu, the method you mentioned is not feasible at all!”
"My method is not feasible? So you're saying that only your method will work?”
"Alright, stop arguing! Can't you see that he's here?!"
With the reminder of one of the elders, everyone in the meeting room finally noticed Li Changkong and the others at the door.
The debate gradually stopped. Li Changkong smiled and went forward to introduce it to everyone.
"Experts, this is the mechanical engineering genius I mentioned before, Captain Su Yu.”
As soon as Li Changkong finished speaking, Su Yu took a step forward and saluted.
Most of the people in the meeting room were experts from various military academies, so most of them were soldiers, and each of them had a high military rank.
Everyone had made great contributions to the Dragon Country in their respective fields.
If one really counted, Su Yu was definitely the only newcomer among this bunch of old experts.
After the ceremony, Su Yu opened his mouth to introduce himself.
After Su Yu finished speaking, one of the old men spoke up.
"We don't like to waste time. Since we're here, let's get straight to the point and talk about your views on the carrier-based aircraft project.”
After the old man finished speaking, no one else spoke.
Obviously, everyone had the same idea.
Su Yu also liked everyone's swift and decisive style of doing things.
"Alright, then I'll share my opinion. If there's anything wrong, please correct me.”
"Before I came, I've already read the information. I think the current problem is mainly on the aircraft carrier.”
Su Yu's first sentence threw out a heavy bomb.
At this moment, some people in the meeting room could not sit still anymore.
"Good kid, you're so arrogant right from the start. The problem lies in the aircraft carrier. Do we have to modify the aircraft carrier for the new carrier aircraft?”
An old man interrupted Su Yu.
The old man's words actually represented the thoughts of some of the researchers.
What they were going to do this time was a brand new carrier-based aircraft.
However, if they changed the aircraft carrier in order to make a carrier-based aircraft, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
However, there were also some researchers who had the opposite idea. Li Changkong was one of them.
Everyone was an excellent researcher. Before Su Yu, many people realized that the current aircraft carrier technology might not be able to support their design plan.
Even if a new carrier-based aircraft was built according to the current plan, it was likely that the strength of the existing aircraft carrier would be less than half of the original design.
No one wanted to see such an outcome.
However, it was easier said than done to solve this problem.
The difficulty of modifying an aircraft carrier was not much different from rebuilding an aircraft carrier.
Su Yu's speech was beaten up, but he was not angry.
He had already expected this to happen.
"I know that everyone might think that what I said is too far-fetched.”
"But what if I tell everyone that I have a way to modify the aircraft carrier?”
At this moment, the old experts who had not spoken could not sit still anymore.
Su Yu's words sounded very repulsive to them.
Many of the people present were specialized in the research of surface warships, and some were specialized in the research of aircraft.
They had been discussing this matter for two months, but Su Yu, a young man in his twenties, said that he had a solution?
"Have young people nowadays reached such a level? Why didn't you draft a draft in advance when you were bragging?”
"Alright, I don't want to hear what this kid has to say anymore. Let's hurry up and discuss how to solve the problem.”
A portion of the experts expressed their dissatisfaction with Su Yu.
However, Li Changkong supported Su Yu at this time.
"Everyone, no matter what, let's hear him out first.”
With Li Changkong's appearance, many people were willing to give him face.
However, that was not all.
Three or four elders left the meeting room without looking back.
They were not willing to waste any more time here.
Facing this situation, Su Yu was also very helpless, but thinking back, it was normal.
He was a nameless young man, and the few achievements he had made had not been officially announced.
Moreover, many of them were classified projects.
Many of the experts present had never heard of the Black Tortoise Armor.
If not for Li Changkong's recommendation, Su Yu wouldn't even be qualified to enter this place.
Although some people had left, most of them were still in the meeting room. Su Yu simply told them his thoughts.
Before he came, he had already decided on the 13 techniques he wanted to choose.
One of them was the miniaturized nuclear reactor.
In order to make everyone believe him, Su Yu directly explained this technique on the blackboard.
In the beginning, there were still many people who were dissatisfied with Su Yu's behavior.
"This kid wants to give us a lesson? Forget it, I won't waste my time here.”
"Let's go, Old Wang. The young people nowadays are still too impetuous. Us old men still have to carry the flag.”
........
As time passed, less than half of the original 20 to 30 people in the meeting room were left.
However, the more experts who stayed behind, the more they heard, the more they realized that something was wrong.
An hour later.
As Su Yu's explanation went deeper, one of the old experts could not suppress his excitement.
"It's feasible! This method is feasible!"
The old man's sudden sigh did not interrupt Su Yu's explanation. Instead, it made the others listen even more seriously.
After all, the old man who had just sighed was quite accomplished in nuclear technology.
If he also felt that it was feasible, then perhaps Su Yu's plan would really work.
Li Changkong had also been standing beside Su Yu. At this time, he was already fully focused on listening to Su Yu's explanation.
Two hours later, Li Changkong was greatly shocked.
"Could it be that the father of our Dragon Country's next-powered aircraft carrier is about to appear?”
"Looks like this kid is not only talented in precision mechanical engineering! I f * cking picked up a treasure!"
"Old Yang, you can't blame me. I have to snatch this kid from your hands!!”
The original plan was that today's meeting would only last for about half an hour.
However, with Su Yu's explanation, the meeting gradually lasted for four to five hours.
However, the atmosphere in the conference room did not turn cold. Instead, it became more and more heated.
Another hour or two later, a strange scene appeared in the meeting room.
"Comrade Little Su, tell me more about the cooling of the nuclear core. I'm old and can't hear well, so I missed a few words.
"No problem, Elder Zhang. I'll tell you more.”
.......
"Comrade Little Su, do you have any experience in designing this kind of pipeline? Also, what was the principle behind that linked device? I still don't understand. Why don't you tell me more?”
"Good! No problem, Elder Wang. Listen to me."
.......
Su Yu, a young man in his twenties, was giving a lecture to a group of old experts in their fifties and sixties in the conference room.
He wondered what the elders who had left first would think when they saw this scene.
Li Changkong couldn't stand it anymore.
"Everyone, why don't we rest first? Elder Wang, Elder Zhang, don't you guys look at the time? It's already two in the morning! Take care of your health!"
"Go away, Li. I'm asking a question. I don't understand what Su is saying. Can you explain it to me?”
"That's right, that's right. Little Li, if you're tired, go and rest. Don't disturb our class!”
........
Although the elders were enthusiastic about learning, Li Changkong still sent them back for the sake of their health.
Before they left, the few old men who were already familiar with Su Yu did not forget to specially instruct them.
"Little Su, go back and rest early. We'll continue our lessons tomorrow!”
"Yes, yes, yes. Little Su, I don't know where your brain is. You really made this miniaturized nuclear reactor. However, there are some problems that I haven't figured out yet.”
Facing the passionate group of elders, Su Yu naturally granted all requests.
"Don't worry, everyone. As for you guys, go back and rest quickly. If anyone doesn't go back to sleep, I won't tell them tomorrow.”
Faced with Su Yu's kind threats, these old men instead revealed their cute sides.
"Good! Go to sleep now! Aren't you two going to send me back? Hurry up, let's go!”
"Sleep, sleep, sleep. We will definitely sleep well. Don't worry, Little Su! If anyone doesn't sleep tonight and secretly takes notes, I'll definitely report them to you tomorrow!”
.......
Faced with this strange scene, Wang Guang Ming, who had been following behind Su Yu, couldn't accept it!!
"We're clearly classmates who drew designs together and went to the processing plant together!”
"How can the gap be so big?”
"I'm still serving tea to the old experts!”
"You're already teaching the old experts!？”
Little Tanuki, who was standing beside Fatty Wang, was also very dissatisfied.
"In order for Su Yu to teach me, I have to massage his feet!”
"Why are these people attending classes for free?”
"And the class is actually talking about a miniaturized nuclear reactor that I've never heard of before!!”
"I can't accept this!"
.........
That night, Li Changkong instructed Fatty Wang to settle Su Yu and Little Tanuki in the guest house of the 314 Design Institute.
The conditions of the guest house were not bad, but Su Yu did not have the time to think about this.
He was indeed tired today. After washing up, he fell asleep.
After all, he had been talking from the afternoon until the wee hours of the morning. His throat was almost smoking.
But what he did not expect was that in the next few days, not a day was more relaxed than today!
From the second day onwards, the elders who had left the conference room earlier came over when they heard the news.
After the previous wave of promotion by the old professors in the conference room, everyone knew that Su Yu really had a way. He even came up with a very advanced miniaturized nuclear reactor technology!
In the face of such precious knowledge, their dignity was nothing more than something that could be thrown on the ground and stomped on a few times.
In the beginning, there were still a few elders who did not quite believe it.
However, after listening to Su Yu's explanation for an entire day, they were completely convinced.
This time, the number of Su Yu's " students " soared from twelve to more than thirty.
For three consecutive days, he started his classes at eight in the morning and continued until nine in the evening before being let off by the group of old experts.
The 314 Design Institute was filled with a strong learning atmosphere.
The group of old professors seemed to have returned to their youth. Each of them had a thick notebook in their hands, and they would even communicate with each other from time to time.
However, what they were discussing was something that ordinary people could not understand at all.
.........
On the fifth day of Su Yu's arrival at 314 Design Institute, he finally didn't have to attend classes.
However, he had to attend a special ceremony today.
The miniaturized nuclear reactor technology brought by Su Yu could be said to have caused a huge storm in the small circle of elders.
However, a greater influence was gradually beginning to appear.
Li Changkong had already reported everything that had happened on the first day Su Yu arrived.
In the beginning, the higher-ups attached great importance to it. However, after asking for the opinions of other experts a few days later, the higher-ups realized that he did not attach enough importance to it.
The new technology brought by Su Yu could be said to have instantly improved the theoretical level of nuclear power technology in the Dragon Country by 20 years.
This was also why a group of outstanding experts would gather together to relearn.
However, if he wanted to turn this technology into reality, he would have to immediately improve the level of industrial technology and manufacturing.
The project team that was originally responsible for the new carrier-based aircraft suddenly had another heavy burden on their shoulders.
At the same time, they also had to carry out a comprehensive transformation of the aircraft carrier.
..........
Room 314, Research Institute Conference Room.
Li Changkong was wearing a military uniform and had a serious expression on his face.
"The higher-ups have already given the order to agree to our modification plan for the aircraft carrier. Other than that, there is another thing that needs to be announced.”
"Captain Su Yu has once again made a major technological breakthrough and made an outstanding contribution to the scientific community of the Dragon Country. He has also set off a new learning atmosphere in the academic community.”
"The higher-ups have decided to make an exception and promote Su Yu to the rank of major! Enjoy special subsidies from the state-level Top Talent Program.”
As soon as Li Changkong finished speaking, more than 30 old experts in the conference room applauded enthusiastically.
After just a few days of interaction, the old experts 'views on Su Yu had completely changed.
There were even a few elders who directly addressed Su Yu as teacher.
Even though Su Yu strongly objected, the stubbornness of these old men far exceeded his imagination.
As the saying goes, the accomplished are the teachers. These researchers in the military field were all loyal to their masters. In the end, he still could not change the title of " teacher."
In short, dozens of researchers in the project team were in favor of Su Yu's promotion.
But according to the tradition of the military, Su Yu's age was really too young.
Now that Su Yu was only twenty-four years old, this was still barely a few months more.
It was extremely rare to be promoted to a major at such an age.
However, from the order documents approved by the higher-ups, he could see some clues. Words like "extraordinary" and "outstanding" were rarely seen in official documents.
However, in Su Yu's commendation letter, it became 'very outstanding'.
It even wrote that Su Yu had "once again" made a major contribution.
In fact, these were all allusions to Su Yu's previous contribution to the Xuanwu mother-child mecha project.
Now that the order was officially issued, Su Yu could be considered to have become the youngest major in the Dragon Country!
........
After Li Changkong conferred the title, the group of elders below applauded enthusiastically again.
In their hearts, their evaluation of Su Yu was actually even higher.
Just based on the new technology brought by Su Yu, not to mention the promotion of military rank, this year's National Science and Technology Progress Award would probably not escape.
Even the Dragon Country's Academy of Sciences had already sent an invitation. However, because of Su Yu's confidential identity, it was temporarily shelved by the higher-ups.
After the applause, Li Changkong spoke again.
"There is also another order. Due to Su Yu's outstanding ability in the technical field, Su Yu is specially appointed as the deputy chief engineer of this project, focusing on the aircraft carrier modification plan.”
This order was something that no one had expected. Su Yu, who was involved, was similarly shocked.
This aircraft carrier project was of great importance. It was related to the overall combat strength of the Dragon Country's navy!
Therefore, the overall person in charge of the project was Li Changkong, an experienced aircraft carrier construction meritorious figure, and Mr. Ye, the father of the Dragon Country's J-series fighter jets, who was already in his seventies.
The other two vice chiefs were the same. Each of them was an old senior with countless contributions and had presided over countless large projects.
Regarding Su Yu's appointment, it was not qualified in terms of qualifications. Instead, it was like a promotion on the line.
But thinking about it carefully, this arrangement was very reasonable.
Now that the higher-ups had agreed to everyone's modification plan for the aircraft carrier, this was also a huge strategic change. If they wanted to modify the aircraft carrier, wouldn't they have to withdraw the aircraft carrier?
The impact of doing so was very significant. Also, would the aircraft carrier under construction be modified as well?
These problems were urgent, and the sooner they were resolved, the better.
Then, it naturally needed people with the ability to live there.
In this way, it was reasonable for Su Yu, the person who proposed the transformation plan, to personally get on the horse.
