Time flew by, and 2019 was coming to an end.
Fortunately, the construction of aircraft carrier 003 was also coming to an end.
Not long ago, Su Yu had just hosted the lifting ceremony of the island of aircraft carrier 003.
If the ship was on the island, it meant that the overall structure of the aircraft carrier had been completely completed.
All that was left was the installation of the various systems and the renovation of the cabin.
Although these tasks were relatively trivial and complicated, they were also extremely time-consuming.
However, under Su Yu's full supervision, everyone worked at full capacity in shifts, twenty-four hours a day.
He had to strive to complete all the work by the end of the year and officially launch the 003 aircraft carrier.
This way, everyone could go home and celebrate the new year.
For Su Yu himself, he might finally have a chance to go home and celebrate the new year.
The last time he went home was when he first entered Black Mountain Base.
As for celebrating the New Year at home, Su Yu had not celebrated it for four to five years.
It was difficult for people who had not experienced the same thing to understand such feelings.
Su Yu wasn't married. He didn't have a wife or children. He only had his parents.
For many consecutive Chinese New Years, he could only watch others reunite outside. Every time that happened, he would feel a bitter feeling in his heart.
This was also the common situation of thousands of soldiers and frontline scientific researchers.
Unknowingly, Su Yu had also become one of those people who carried a heavy burden forward.
The busy days always made people ignore the passage of time.
The new year had arrived on January 1st, 2020.
Su Yu and tens of thousands of participants in the aircraft carrier construction project also sent a big gift to the Dragon Country.
The aircraft carrier 003 had already been painted. Similar to the modified 002, it was also a special bright silver color.
At this moment, the hull of No. 003 was covered with colorful flags.
There was also that familiar flag that was already fluttering at the top of the island.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With the sound of the cannon salute, the launching ceremony of aircraft carrier 003 officially began!
Su Yu was currently standing in the control room of the dock. In front of him was the control panel of the entire dock's water injection system.
Hearing the sound of the cannon salute in the distance, Su Yu pressed the water injection program start button under the gaze of the other engineers.
In front of the dock, the tall dam began to move slowly.
Surging seawater instantly surged into the dock.
Most of the people gathered here today were aircraft carrier builders.
At this moment, they were cheering excitedly in unison.
Under everyone's excited gazes, the water level in the dock gradually leveled with the sea.
Meanwhile, aircraft carrier 003 was completely lifted up by the seawater and separated from the bottom support column.
After the turbulent water flow stabilized, the sound of cannons rang out again.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
This was the blessing of the destroyer on the sea not far away.
At this time, Su Yu also quickly walked out of the dock control room and jogged to the edge of the dock.
Behind him were Little Tanuki and the other engineers.
Like the other workers present, they looked at the behemoth that had already stood on the sea with excitement.
The navy officers who had been waiting in the control room of the aircraft carrier signaled to everyone through the window.
The flag bearer on the deck had also sent out a flag signal.
Several small boats scattered around the aircraft carrier received the order and pushed the aircraft carrier out of the dock at full speed.
Only then did the aircraft carrier 003 truly appear!
It finally sailed into the real Wang Yang Sea from this small dock.
Including Su Yu, many of the builders had tears in their eyes.
This feeling was similar to sending a child to college.
The aircraft carrier 003 was now being pushed to the new logistics base. After that, it would have to go through a running-in with thousands of naval officers and soldiers to cope with the long journey ahead.
As they watched the aircraft carrier being pushed further and further away, everyone felt a little reluctant to part.
However, they still had to hold a celebration ceremony for everyone later, so everyone had no choice but to retract their hearts.
.........
A temporary podium was set up next to the dock.
As the chief engineer of the construction of aircraft carrier 003, this was the first time Su Yu took on the role of a host.
"Everyone, today is an important day for all of us. It's also an unforgettable day!”
" Watching our own children sail into a wider world, I believe that everyone here is as emotional as I am.”
"Now, let's invite Elder Ning to speak on stage.”
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, an imposing old man stepped onto the podium.
This was also one of the most important people present today.
The commander-in-chief of the Dragon Country's navy, Elder Ning.
"Comrades, first of all, I would like to express my utmost respect to all of you on behalf of all levels of naval officers and soldiers!”
Elder Ning saluted the crowd.
Including Su Yu, those who were still in active service immediately returned the greeting.
"Actually, I came here today because I saw that you guys have a lot to say.”
"You are the most important rear of our navy!”
"All the surface warships, big and small, are made by you. Only then will our soldiers have a solid guarantee!”
"Back then, when I first entered the navy, I was still an ordinary sailor. But at that time, we didn't have many ships.”
When Elder Ning said this, he seemed to have recalled the difficult and difficult times back then. For a moment, tears flashed in his eyes.
"But now! Not only do we have all kinds of advanced warships, but we also have our own next-powered aircraft carrier!”
.........
Elder Ning's speech was very touching. Although he spoke for a long time, no one in the audience, including Su Yu, felt bored. Instead, they listened with great interest.
Hearing Elder Ning describe the hardships of the navy when it first started and the huge changes now, everyone was excited.
"Alright, I've said too much nonsense today.”
" Next, I'll announce the order."
"The higher-ups have decided to commend all the staff who participated in the construction of aircraft carrier 003!”
"In addition, the three units involved will be given collective second-class merit!”
"As the chief engineer of the 003 aircraft carrier construction project, Major Su Yu has made great contributions to the key technology of nuclear power. He has broken through world-class technical problems and laid the foundation for the successful construction of the aircraft carrier.”
"Deputy Chief Engineer of the 003 aircraft carrier construction project, Chen Lan will be awarded a second-class merit at the senior colonel!”
........
Elder Ning announced dozens of commendations.
Among them, the most exaggerated one was Su Yu.
He himself did not expect that he would actually get another first-class merit!
Not only did he get a first-class merit, but he was also promoted.
As a result, he also became the youngest lieutenant colonel in the Dragon Country from the youngest major in the Dragon Country.
In fact, the commendation for Su Yu this time was not only because of the successful completion of the construction of aircraft carrier 003.
The main reason was the miniaturized nuclear reactor technology that Su Yu had contributed.
This technology itself was absolutely world-leading.
Based on this, the modified 002 aircraft carrier and the new 003 aircraft carrier were extremely excellent in terms of performance.
Especially the aircraft carrier 003, whether it was in terms of speed, endurance, or maintenance, it was far better than the beautiful one.
This included the modification project of aircraft carrier 002. Because it was carried out in secret, there was no notification of commendation at that time.
This time, it could be considered as putting all of them together and returning them to Su Yu.
After the order was announced, Elder Ning carried out an award ceremony for Su Yu and the others on the spot.
With an additional star on his shoulder, the burden on Su Yu's body also became heavier.
..........
The next day, Dragon Media reported that the launch of aircraft carrier 003 was successful.
"Our reporter reported that January 1st was New Year's Day. With the joint efforts of thousands of staff at the XX shipyard and tens of thousands of related units, the construction of aircraft carrier 003 was announced to be completed.”
"Next, please take a look at the scene of the launching ceremony of aircraft carrier 003.”
When the mighty and extraordinary 100,000-ton new aircraft carrier appeared in the video, the people of the Dragon Country were overjoyed!
"Look at his looks! Just her looks alone were enough to beat everyone else!”
"A brand-new nuclear aircraft carrier! That's awesome!"
"Excited, too excited. I'm in tears! We also have a nuclear aircraft carrier!"
"We have mechas, fifth-and-a-half-generation fighter jets, and nuclear aircraft carriers. What's next?”
"Do you still remember the comparison article published by the CCCs? Who dares to say that our aircraft carrier is worse than Beautiful?”
"Hahahaha! This good news had not stopped since October! It's too awesome!"
.........
Su Yu's work temporarily came to an end. On the second day after the launch ceremony of the aircraft carrier, Su Yu called Yang Cunxiao, who was far away in the north.
"Hello, Leader, it's me."
"Of course I know it's you. Tell me, there must be something you need from me.”
Yang Cunxiao knew very well that although he was still Su Yu's leader in name, in reality, Su Yu's tasks were directly assigned by the higher-ups.
Since Su Yu could call him, he must have something to ask him for help.
"Haha, it's like this, Leader. I haven't been home for a few years, right? Do you think I can go home to visit my relatives this year?”
"That's all?" Yang Cunxiao asked in surprise.”
"Yeah, that's it."”
"Why are you asking me about this?"”
Yang Cunxiao's question stunned Su Yu.
"This? Shouldn't I ask you to approve my leave? If I don't ask you, who else should I ask?"
"After you finish your project, you'll have a normal holiday. Since when did Black Mountain Base say that you can't have a holiday?”
Yang Cunxiao's answer finally enlightened Su Yu.
Su Yu turned around and thought, only to discover that he had indeed misunderstood.
Although Black Mountain Base was a highly confidential unit, it was still a research unit.
Other than the security personnel who needed permission to leave their posts, Su Yu and the other technical officers did have leave.
He had mentioned this when he first entered Black Mountain Base for secret training, but he had forgotten about it.
Of course, most researchers were always busy with all kinds of projects. Time was too precious for them. They wished they could snatch more time from God. How could they care about the holidays?
In this kind of environment, Su Yu naturally ignored all the holidays.
"So, I can just go home?”
After a long while, Su Yu asked again.
"That's right. As long as you finish your project, you should take a break.”
"Alright, I understand."
At this point, Su Yu decisively hung up the phone.
Yang Cunxiao, who was far away in the northwest, cursed at the busy tone of the phone.
"This kid! He really threw it away after using it?"
Su Yu didn't know that Yang Cunxiao was silently greeting him.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yu thought for a while and dialed another number.
"Little Tanuki, arrange our schedule. We're going to the Space City tomorrow.”
After some consideration, Su Yu decided to head to the Space City to check on Elder Bai's situation.
After all, there was still more than a month before the Spring Festival. It would not be too late to go home then.
