Chapter 726 Aircraft Carrier Entering Service
This can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

From Lin Zhenhua's words, Song Ying understood Lin Zhenhua's intention, that is, she wanted the media to hype up this matter, but Hanhua herself absolutely did not admit that there was such a thing.Song Ying even suspected that the previous rumors on the Internet about Hanhua's intention to acquire Vestas might have been released by Hanhua itself. Is the so-called "well-informed person" better informed than the people inside Hanhua?
As for why Lin Zhenhua did this, only Hanhua's senior management knows.Maybe they want to use such rumors to disintegrate the confidence of Vestas shareholders in Vestas, thereby accelerating its collapse; it is also possible that Hanhua is actually looking at other things, and wants to use such rumors to divert the attention of the outside world. Attention, to achieve the effect of repairing the plank road in the open and crossing the old warehouse secretly.In short, Hanhua is very skilled in using the media to create momentum for itself.

"Hehe, Bi Min, you are in charge of carrying out Reporter Song. Reporter Song is an old friend of our group, so please treat him well." Lin Zhenhua said to Bi Min.

Song Ying was not happy anymore: "Mr. Lin, we have been friends for so many years, can't you treat me to a meal?"

Lin Zhenhua knew that what Song Ying said was just a show of cuteness. With Lin Zhenhua's current status, even if she really wanted to invite Song Ying to dinner, she might not dare to accept it.He said: "Reporter Song, I really want to entertain you, but unfortunately, I have a few guests from far away to receive, and they come all the way, I'm not going to be too rude."

Song Ying's eyes lit up, and the reporter's instinct came up again: "Who is the guest from afar, can I meet you?"

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "It's an old wood model worker in our factory. Are you sure you want to see him?"

"Oh... so it's Boss Lin's personal friend, so let's forget about it." Song Ying said resentfully.In her opinion, a wood modeler who Lin Zhenhua wanted to accompany in person was obviously Lin Zhenhua's personal friend, and such a guest was not newsworthy.If she knew who Lin Zhenhua was going to meet, she might regret her words.

The person Lin Zhenhua wants to meet is naturally Liu Xianghai, the former wood model worker of Hanhua Machinery Factory and now the chief engineer of the aircraft carrier.After the domestic nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was launched two years ago, Liu Xianghai, who is nearly 70 years old, went through the retirement procedures and gave up his position to the younger generation.However, a person like him cannot be idle, he himself does not want to be idle, and the country will not let him be idle.In the past two years, special personnel have reported to him various problems that have arisen during the aircraft carrier's sea trials, and he often visits the research institute to guide the follow-up research work.

Liu Xianghai came to Xunyang this time purely to visit old friends. In the past, Lin Zhenhua went to Shanghai to visit him. Now that he has retired, it is time to visit Lin Zhenhua in Xunyang.What's more, he has worked in Hanhua Machinery Factory for many years and has many old colleagues, and he also needs to visit them.

Accompanying Liu Xianghai was his wife, Qin Ying.Lin Zhenhua set up a table of dishes in the best restaurant in Xunyang, and called his wife Yang Xin and his father-in-law Yang Chunshan to accompany him. It was a very pure family feast.

Needless to say, there were all kinds of reminiscences at the wine table. After the banquet, Yang Chunshan and his wife took Qin Ying to visit old colleagues in the factory. Liu Xianghai and Lin Zhenhua went back to Lin Zhenhua's office.Lin Zhenhua brewed a cup of strong tea for Liu Xianghai and himself, and then began to talk about business.

"Old Liu, this time our 5 MW wind turbine was successfully trial-produced, and I haven't had time to express my gratitude to your Naval Research Institute." Lin Zhenhua said.

Liu Xianghai waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about."

Lin Zhenhua said: "It is a trivial matter for you, but it is a great event for us. Did you know that the aerodynamic shape of the blades improved with your help has reached a world-class level, and the efficiency of the entire fan has increased by 5%. A terrific achievement."

It turns out that the blade of the fan is not simply made into a blade, and its aerodynamic shape design is good or bad, which will directly affect the efficiency of the fan.When Hanhua was developing a new type of high-power fan, it encountered some difficulties in the aerodynamic shape of the blades. The efficiency of the fan was much worse than that of foreign advanced fans.When the technicians were at a loss, Lin Zhenhua introduced them to the Naval Ship Research Institute to seek advice from experts. As a result, their problems were solved with a little guidance from the other party.

The team led by Liu Xianghai used to specialize in the research of ship propellers, which are somewhat similar to wind turbines.When Liu Xianghai was still in the Hanhua Machinery Factory, he used his expertise to design a five-bladed fan for Lin Zhenhua. Now it is not difficult to let his disciples and grandchildren help design the blades of the fan.

Hearing Lin Zhenhua thank you repeatedly, Liu Xianghai said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Lin, why have you become so polite? The two of us have worked together not once or twice. You have helped us so much. When did we say thank you?" Two words?"

"You didn't say much." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.

"I thank you, that's what I should, because you have done us a great favor." Liu Xianghai said, "As for us helping you a little, it's just a little reward, not worth mentioning. Not worth mentioning."

Lin Zhenhua pointed to Liu Xianghai and said, "Old Liu, you are too domineering. You are only allowed to thank me, but I am not allowed to thank you. Do you think this is the logic of hegemony?"

"This..." Liu Xianghai was speechless. In terms of bickering, he was never Lin Zhenhua's opponent. He already knew this back then.

"To be honest, Xiao Lin, your Hanhua has really helped us a lot. As for the trial production of helium turbines this time, you Hanhua is the first to make a contribution. Without your contribution, our nuclear-powered aircraft carrier may not be here. There is no suitable heart yet." Liu Xianghai said.The helium turbine is the power source of the aircraft carrier, and it is very appropriate for Liu Xianghai to call it the heart.

Lin Zhenhua asked: "By the way, Lao Liu, how is the situation of the aircraft carrier's trial flight?...This is not a secret, is it?"

"There is a certain level of confidentiality, as long as you know it yourself." Liu Xianghai said, "Our new aircraft carrier is very satisfactory in its sea trials. The electromagnetic catapult system developed under the leadership of Tuchinov performed well on the ship. At present, we are the only country in the world that has mastered electromagnetic ejection technology."

"Old Tu has made great contributions." Lin Zhenhua smiled, "Did you give him a medal or something?"

Speaking of medals, Liu Xianghai also laughed.Back then, he and Lin Zhenhua went to Russia to introduce talents. When Lin Zhenhua met Tuchinov for the first time, he was in the bar preparing to exchange medals for drinks. full of frustration.Now, nearly 20 years later, Tuchinov has found a career in China.

"For Tuchinov, being able to make an electromagnetic ejection in his own hands is already the biggest medal. You know, this is his lifelong ideal." Liu Xianghai said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "How is it, Tuchinov has adapted to life in China? Does it mean that he is a bit reluctant to leave?"

"That's right, Tuchinov now regards China as his second hometown. He stays in China for nearly 10 months every year. One of his sons has also settled in China and married a Chinese son. Where is the daughter-in-law?" Liu Xianghai relished.

"By the way, is Mr. Savyev in good health?" Lin Zhenhua asked again.Savyev was Liu Xianghai's teacher when he was studying in the Soviet Union. When they went to Russia to introduce talents, Savyev helped them a lot. He is an old man who is very friendly to China.

Liu Xianghai said: "The old man is over 90, and his body is still strong. When our new aircraft carrier was launched, he was specially invited to watch the ceremony. The old man is very pleased."

"That's good." Lin Zhenhua nodded. He also felt warm in his heart when he heard that those who had contributed to China's prosperity could live happily.

"All the testing work on the aircraft carrier can be completed this summer, and we plan to put the new type of aircraft carrier into service on the Army Day." Liu Xianghai continued to reveal to Lin Zhenhua, "By the way, the candidate for the new captain has already been decided. , guess who it is."

"Haha, it can't be Baoxing, right?" Lin Zhenhua laughed out loud.He knew a lot of people in the navy, but Wang Baoxing was the one he was most familiar with. Liu Xianghai asked him to guess, how could he guess other people.

"That's right, it's Wang Baoxing." Liu Xianghai said.

Lin Zhenhua said with emotion: "It's so fast. When I first met Baoxing, he was just a guard soldier of your naval research institute, right? A silly young man."

Liu Xianghai said: "You are still talking about others. Weren't you also a foolish young man back then? You are only one year older than Wang Baoxing."

"Am I stupid?" Lin Zhenhua asked back unconvinced, "I think I'm quite clever."

Liu Xianghai said: "Wang Baoxing is not stupid, he is just relatively simple. Today, he is still so simple, a little more stable than before, and he is already a very mature naval officer. By the way, he is now a major general , you can’t call him stupid.”

"Yeah, I can't say he is stupid anymore, I have to call him General Wang in the future." Lin Zhenhua said quickly, "By the way, after our new aircraft carrier enters service, shouldn't it also be like the American aircraft carrier, wandering around the world? Shake it, let others worship it?"

Liu Xianghai said, "I'm about to talk to you about this."

"Okay, I'm taking matters into my own hands again." Lin Zhenhua said, pretending to be in pain.

Liu Xianghai said: "This is not a mandatory task, it's just a casual talk. As you said, after our aircraft carrier enters service, we need to go to sea voyages. This is not only a training requirement, but also a way to strengthen exchanges with navies of various countries. need……"

"Is it a bit of a show of force?" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.

Liu Xianghai glared at Lin Zhenhua and said, "How can you say that? Our development of national defense is always for peaceful purposes."

"Yeah, that's right, we're here to defend peace." Lin Zhenhua smiled wickedly. It's a ridiculous thing for soldiers to talk about peace, but what else can we say?

"Go on, you just said that the aircraft carrier is going to go ocean voyage, what does that have to do with me?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Liu Xianghai said: "If an aircraft carrier is going to go ocean voyage, it will involve supply issues. At present, the navy is cooperating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact supply ports for the aircraft carrier around the world. I think you, Xiaolin, have a wide range of connections. We have businesses in many countries around the world, and we have very close relationships with local governments, so I would like to ask you to help us make contact in this regard at your convenience."

"It's not difficult." Lin Zhenhua said.He can think of a dozen countries that can be contacted casually. Hanhua has invested in these countries, and the presidents of these countries and Lin Zhenhua are relatively familiar.He believes that it is not difficult to persuade these countries to open their ports to accept Chinese aircraft carriers for short-term visits and replenishment.

"Where is the United States? Can you contact me?" Liu Xianghai finally asked his most critical question.

"America?" Lin Zhenhua almost jumped up, "Our aircraft carrier still plans to visit the United States?"

"Why not?" Liu Xianghai asked rhetorically, "The US aircraft carrier has not visited our country once or twice. If our aircraft carrier visits the United States, they have no reason to refuse, right?"

Lin Zhenhua said hesitantly: "This joke is a bit big. Those countries where I can play a role are basically developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. European countries such as Portugal and Greece, although we have leased their port, but to let the aircraft carrier dock, I am afraid that we need to have a good discussion with their government. As for the United States, I really don’t have such a big influence.”

Liu Xianghai said: "U.S. officials, we will contact through diplomatic channels. I hope you will use your personal relationship with some important people in the United States to mediate. I heard that you and Xi Sai seem to have We have dealt with each other, and the relationship is quite good.”

"One moment, another moment." Lin Zhenhua said, "At that time, Xi Sai was just a poor lawyer, of course we didn't talk about our relationship. Now that he is the President of the United States, you can't expect me to catch up with him again, can you? "

When Liu Xianghai mentioned Xisai, he was only joking with Lin Zhenhua. He said, "Just remember this matter. If you have a suitable opportunity, please contact me. The aircraft carrier's visit to the United States is a wish of our navy. I hope In the not-too-distant future, this wish will be fulfilled."

"Well, this is also my wish." Lin Zhenhua replied, "I also hope to see the scene of our aircraft carrier sailing into the port of the United States. Well, let's work together to make this day come as soon as possible."

　Hehe, Bao Xing is a reader of this book. A year ago, he asked for a secondary role, saying that he wanted to be a major general in the book.A year later, his wish was finally fulfilled.Many readers of this book put forward requests for extras, some of which were satisfied, and some of them really had no suitable opportunities to arrange.Now that the book is coming to an end, I would like to say sorry to those readers who didn't ask for a trick.
