Chapter 907: Merchant Ship Converted into Aircraft Carrier
The maximum combat radius of the H-6K/S is 4,500 kilometers. What does this mean?
It means that the first, second and third island chains are all within the normal strike range of the H-6K/S.
What does it mean that the maximum range of the H-6K/S exceeds 9,000 kilometers?
It is almost 10,000 kilometers from China to the United States!
This means that at a critical moment, even if the H-6K/S is used, it is only about 1,000 kilometers away from California, and the maximum range of long-range cruise missiles can reach 2,500 kilometers!
It is not an exaggeration to say that the H-6K/S is a strategic bomber!
And the maximum speed reaches Mach 1.5, which means strong penetration capability!
The Air Force leaders looked at the H-6K/S and were naturally happy.
Although the H-6K/S may not be really needed, it is one thing whether this kind of killer weapon is used or not, and it is another thing whether it has it or not.
After attending the H-6K/S offline ceremony, Liu Tao went to the Yangcheng Shipyard.
At this time, the aircraft carrier converted from a merchant ship has been almost completed.
This merchant ship converted into an aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of almost 20,000 tons, and was converted based on the 001 light aircraft carrier.
In terms of the flight deck, it is exactly the same as the 001 light aircraft carrier.
Many people do not understand, and there has always been a question, that is, why did the great powers have so many aircraft carriers during World War II, why is it so difficult for China to build an aircraft carrier?
This is completely a misunderstanding of the previous aircraft carriers, and modern aircraft carriers are two completely different concepts.
During World War II, aircraft carriers only needed aircraft to take off, and many merchant ships were converted into aircraft carriers.
But modern aircraft carriers are different. Modern aircraft carriers are the center of modern naval combat theory!
The aircraft carriers during World War II cannot be said to be aircraft carriers in the true sense. At that time, they were responsible for transportation and materials. To a certain extent, they can be called a "cargo ship".
The aircraft carriers built during World War II were simple, with a relatively small tonnage and low construction difficulty. The large aircraft carriers of World War II were only more than 30,000 tons. At that time, large merchant ships and tankers could be converted into aircraft carriers and then directly put into war, because the performance of carrier-based aircraft at that time was far inferior to that of today, and the requirements for aircraft carriers were naturally lower.
Modern aircraft carriers are the center of naval combat theory, and their main task is to use carrier-based aircraft to seize air and sea control in the sea battle zone and near the land margin. The carrier-based aircraft of modern aircraft carriers are jet carrier-based aircraft, while the carrier-based aircraft in World War II were propeller carrier-based aircraft. Modern aircraft carriers not only have more military functions, but also have more powerful strike capabilities.
Modern aircraft carriers have a higher level of modernization, which mainly refers to the improvement of information capabilities, so they often become the command center of a formation.
Modern aircraft carriers are safer and have higher anti-strike capabilities.
The only function of this aircraft carrier converted from a merchant ship is to be used as a test and training for the "Sea Eagle" carrier-based aircraft at sea.
As for the J-10 and J-11 fighters, there is no way to get on them.
Because there is no carrier-based version of the current J-10 and J-11 fighters, even if a carrier-based version is developed, it is impossible to take off and land on such a short flight deck.
After checking the commercial aircraft carrier and finding no problems, Liu Tao went to Hong Kong.
The annual shareholders' meeting started intensively during this period.
At that time, not only the dividend plan, the new year's strategy, the main personnel adjustments, but also the first quarter financial report, the fourth quarter financial report of last year and the annual report will be released on the stock market.
It can be said that this period is the most important for investment institutions and stockholders.
The stock price may rise or fall.
The most eye-catching performance of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is the "Dandelion" founded by Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen. Not long after listing, the market value reached 70 billion Hong Kong dollars. Now, one year after listing, the market value has directly exceeded 100 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The market value of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars is not much in the entire Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen have also become influential figures in the Chinese business community, and even in Asia and the world.
Both of them are super-rich, and there are not many women among the super-rich.
They are also regarded as representatives of modern Chinese women, and also representatives of the new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs.
Independent, autonomous, and possessing knowledge and skills, they perfectly interpret the saying that Chinese women hold up half the sky.
Moreover, the two won the "Turing Award" for their outstanding contributions to computer and Internet security, which made them even more famous.
The most important thing is that both of them are single. Whoever marries them can immediately save ten lifetimes of hard work.
No, it should be a hundred lifetimes of hard work.
Liu Ziyu's net worth exceeds 60 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Chen Nianzhen's net worth exceeds 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.
This is the first Internet technology company in China with a market value of over 100 billion!
Before this, the highest market value of Chinese Internet technology companies was 60 billion Hong Kong dollars!
Of course, this refers to those listed on the Chinese stock market.
As for those listed on the US stock market, some have a market value of 100 billion US dollars.
When Liu Tao arrived in Hong Kong, his secretary reported to him about Hong Kong's current situation.
In recent years, Hong Kong has also been carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction.
In addition to the construction of the new airport, land reclamation, and subway, a large number of road renovations, as well as low-rent housing and old house renovations, have also been launched.
With Liu Tao's advance layout, the power supply and water supply in Xiangjiang are fully guaranteed, and there is no water or power outage.
This has not happened in Hong Kong either. Real estate developers have firmly controlled the economic situation in Hong Kong. In recent years, real estate developers in Hong Kong, in addition to developing real estate in Hong Kong, have mostly gone north to participate in real estate development in the mainland.
Hong Kong real estate developers have played a big role in real estate development in the mainland with their strong financial resources and rich experience.
Of course, for some reasons, Hong Kong real estate developers cannot acquire land at a low price, then hold the land without developing it and then sell it. There is no way to make money by selling houses before the houses are built. The land must be developed within one year after it is acquired. If it is not completed within five years, it will be taken back. The house can only be sold after it is built.
In the past, during the period of welfare housing distribution, it was more about units paying for the construction of houses and giving developers a part of the profit.
Now in the era of commercial housing, developers can spend their own money to acquire land for real estate development. Although there are restrictions on the guiding prices in various places and the profits are restricted, the profits are much greater than before.
This has made the net worth of real estate developers in Hong Kong increase a lot in recent years.
Liu Tao listened to his secretary's report on the construction of infrastructure in Hong Kong. According to the current situation, there will be about five years, that is, by the millennium, the large-scale infrastructure in Hong Kong will come to an end. After 2010, there will be no more infrastructure projects in Hong Kong.
By that time, the airport will have been built, the subway will have been built, the roads will have been renovated, the dilapidated houses and other renovated buildings will have been renovated, and the major projects such as reclamation will have been completed.
The development of the entire Hong Kong will quickly reach the ceiling. If it wants to develop further, it will have to transform the industrial structure, integrate Hong Kong and Shenzhen, and build the Greater Bay Area.
And the population of Hong Kong will also reach the ceiling.
There is no way to accommodate more people!
