Chapter 1110 Focus and the start of construction of the Type 003 aircraft carrier

Of course, the world situation is not only focused on Afghanistan and the Middle East, but also on the Korean Peninsula.

There are several famous powder kegs in the world, one is Palestine and Israel, one is the Balkans, and one is the Korean Peninsula.

The Korean Peninsula is also known as the "Northeast Asian powder keg"!

On July 27, 1953, the two sides signed an armistice agreement in Panmunjom!

That was an armistice agreement, not a peace agreement!

Therefore, although the armistice agreement was signed, the hostility between the two sides was not lifted.

In October 1994, North Korea and the United States signed the North Korea-US Nuclear Framework Agreement. According to the agreement, North Korea agreed to freeze its existing nuclear program, and the United States promised to build two 1,000-megawatt light water reactors for North Korea.

The signing of the agreement eased the tension on the Korean Peninsula due to the nuclear issue.

In October, after US President's special envoy Kelly visited Pyongyang, the United States announced that North Korea had admitted that it had promoted its uranium enrichment development plan. The North Korean nuclear issue once again became the focus of international attention. North Korea has never officially admitted the existence of the uranium enrichment development plan.

On November 14, the United States decided to stop supplying heavy oil to North Korea, and the decision would be implemented starting in December. North Korea accused the United States of violating the Nuclear Framework Agreement, and announced on December 12 that it would lift the freeze on its nuclear program after the signing of the 1994 Nuclear Framework Agreement between the United States and North Korea, and immediately restart and build nuclear facilities needed for electricity production.

On December 22, 2002, North Korea announced the removal of the monitoring equipment installed by the United Nations on one of its nuclear reactors, which attracted strong attention from the international community.

On December 25, North Korea removed the seals and surveillance cameras at the nuclear fuel rod manufacturing plant in the Yongbyon Nuclear Energy Research Center and tore off all nuclear seals. On the same day, the International Atomic Energy Agency claimed that North Korea admitted that it had begun to add fuel to a nuclear reactor in its territory. The United States insisted that this "terrible" reactor must be frozen to prevent it from being used to produce plutonium needed for nuclear weapons.

The origin of North Korea's nuclear technology is the Soviet Union, mainly through the atomic reactors assisted by the Soviet Union and the North Korean nuclear physicists trained by the Soviet Union. In addition, North Korea once sent nuclear physicists to South Africa to study, and South Africa's nuclear technology came from Israel.

Since South Africa and Israel "actively" abandoned nuclear weapons, India's light water reactors, heavy water reactors and reprocessing plants were bombed and destroyed in the Israeli-Palestinian War, and it also "actively" abandoned nuclear weapons. Only the five permanent members in the world have nuclear weapons, and they are also legal.

Possessing nuclear weapons has become a status symbol of the five permanent members.

At this time, North Korea's actions caused a huge uproar.

While the world was focusing on the North Korean nuclear issue, Yangcheng Shipyard ushered in a milestone event.

003 aircraft carrier groundbreaking ceremony!

After careful preparation, the domestically produced 003 aircraft carrier held a grand and solemn groundbreaking ceremony, and senior leaders personally came to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

For a long time, Yangcheng Shipyard has an important mission in addition to developing and building civilian ships, which is to build various advanced warships for the Chinese Navy.

Since the 1980s, the development history of Yangcheng Shipyard is the development history of naval warships!

As the largest and strongest shipyard in the country, Yangcheng Shipyard has very strong shipbuilding capabilities and is the first in the country in terms of ship development.

Years of development have made Yangcheng Shipyard very finely divided, with clear division of labor positions, and has a large number of workers with college and bachelor's degrees.

In the construction of aircraft carriers, Yangcheng Shipyard has accumulated rich experience.

All the pearls on the crown of the shipbuilding industry in the world have been taken by Yangcheng Shipyard.

As the chief designer of the Type 003 aircraft carrier, Liu Tao naturally participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of the Type 003 aircraft carrier.

After a year of preparation, the Type 003 aircraft carrier is finally going to start construction.

And it is specially chosen on the special day of Western Christmas on December 25.

As a completely independently designed and built Type 003 aircraft carrier, the Type 003 aircraft carrier is several times stronger than the Type 002B aircraft carrier.

The Type 002B aircraft carrier is a nuclear-powered medium-sized aircraft carrier, and the catapult uses steam catapults, but the Type 003 aircraft carrier is a nuclear-powered large aircraft carrier, with more and more aircraft carriers.

Even because of the breakthrough of laser weapons, the Type 003 aircraft carrier has added 9 laser cannons for air defense.

However, the Type 002B aircraft carrier is limited by the nuclear reactor, but can only add 3 laser cannons.

In addition, the number of anti-aircraft missiles of the Type 002B is only half of that of the Type 003 aircraft carrier.

Now, the modified Type 003 aircraft carrier has a stronger air defense capability, which can be called the aircraft carrier with the strongest air defense capability in the world.

Because of the development of China's shipbuilding industry, China's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and the shipbuilding industry has made great contributions.

So far, China has become the world's largest shipbuilding country and the world's largest shipbuilding power, taking on 70% of the world's civilian shipbuilding orders.

Now Yangcheng Shipbuilding can build all types of military ships, as well as LNG ships, 10,000-TEU container ships, jack-up drilling platform drilling ships, semi-submersible ships, platform supply ships, and various special ships, submarines, etc.

At this time, the people who came to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony, including the leaders, all had bright smiles on their faces.

The construction of aircraft carriers is to build a blue-water navy of a great power. Now, with the continuous expansion of China's overseas interests, it is necessary to have an aircraft carrier fleet that can reach the waters of the world to protect overseas interests!

The 20th century was the century of the ocean, and the 21st century is also the century of the ocean!

Ocean transportation is still the most important means of transportation in the world.

Maritime transport lines need aircraft carrier formations to escort and deter some scoundrels!

Compared with the 002 aircraft carrier and the 002B aircraft carrier, the 003 aircraft carrier is undoubtedly a leap.

It is a leap from medium-sized aircraft carriers to large aircraft carriers, and also a leap from nuclear-powered medium-sized aircraft carriers to nuclear-powered large aircraft carriers.

It can be said that the 003 aircraft carrier is extremely important. If nothing unexpected happens, China will build 9 003 aircraft carriers and form 12 aircraft carrier formations to safeguard maritime rights and interests and China's overseas interests.

It is precisely because of the importance of the 003 aircraft carrier that many leaders have come, which not only reflects the importance of the 003 aircraft carrier, but also reflects the leadership's attention to the 003 aircraft carrier, and is witnessing history.
