Chapter 124

In the Qingtianchang, the equipment in every workshop was operating non-stop, with tens of thousands of people coming and going.

Everything was for the sake of building a legendary warship.

Zhang Wen wore a hard hat and stood at the front section of the ship.

Looking at this ship.

More than three months had passed since construction began.

Due to the adoption of modular, information-based, and sectional construction methods.

The construction speed of the 055 was extremely fast.

Zhang Wen divided the 055 into three sections, which were also the main parts.

The front section mainly integrated the information module; all the radar and signal transmission systems were here.

It would be built by the main Qingtianchang.

The middle section was on the other side, mainly manufactured by the research institute responsible for missile production, primarily because of the missile silos.

After all, no one knew better than them how to manufacture them.

The rear section was composed of people from the Sky-supporting Automobile Factory and those who came to support from the main Qingtianchang.

This part was mainly for the power system and the medium-voltage DC integrated power system.

And today was the day their three sections would be joined together.

Zhang Wen looked at the three sections of the hull hoisted by large devices.

He felt extremely nervous.

Although they had used computer assistance to model the entire ship beforehand.

And strictly followed the standards during construction.

Every change had to be approved by him.

But errors definitely existed.

The front and rear sections were fine, as they were both built at the Qingtianchang.

The middle section was what worried Zhang Wen the most.

Although Zhang Wen flew over often, Zhang Wen could not guarantee that there would be no problems.

Now, the installation of the front and middle sections was beginning.

Zhang Wen watched the workers operating the machines with extreme caution.

As a light clicking sound rang out.

Zhang Wen hurriedly ran over to look.

He took various instruments and began to scan.

Everyone stood where they were, not even daring to breathe.

Fearing that their noise would affect Zhang Wen, who was currently detecting.

You have to know, the material cost of this thing alone was as high as 5 billion.

If you add labor, the cost was a full 6 billion or so.

And this was under the condition that all kinds of technologies were free.

The cost was obtained under the condition that the cost had been compressed to the limit.

It allowed no one to be willful.

Finally, after half an hour and changing six types of detection instruments.

Zhang Wen finally put down the instruments in his hands.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

"Complete!"

"Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"

The others burst into enthusiastic applause.

Subsequently, it was the assembly of the middle and rear sections.

Although there were some small episodes in the middle.

But they still successfully aligned.

Seeing that they had finally aligned.

Everyone didn't have time to celebrate and hurriedly rushed up to start connecting the hull.

Zhang Wen was also directing on the side.

Time passed minute by minute.

Until nightfall, the entire factory was still brightly lit.

Hundreds of drones flew in the sky, providing lighting for the workers.

By two o'clock in the morning, as the last worker put down the tools in their hands.

The scene was silent, and then the enthusiastic applause almost turned the sky upside down.

Only then did Zhang Wen notice the time.

He hurriedly let the finished workers go back to sleep.

Leaving the inspection workers to continue working overtime.

But when Zhang Wen saw the workers all rushing into the supermarket in the factory, taking all the alcohol in the supermarket, and then rushing to the cafeteria.

Zhang Wen knew that letting them go back to sleep was not as good as letting them have a good drink.

After all, these three months were truly too agonizing.

Zhang Wen specially invited all the master chefs from all the big hotels in the city, and the warehouse was filled with all kinds of vegetables and meat.

It was to provide enough nutrition for the workers.

The supermarket was also all free, and large trucks queuing to deliver goods stopped one after another at the factory gate.

Zhang Wen rubbed his eyes; he had been at it since morning, and he probably still had to wait until the inspection team finished their inspection.

Only then would the hull be considered truly built.

However, after the hull construction was completed.

The outfitting part was the most headache-inducing.

Various systems were intertwined.

This was the biggest test.

Zhang Wen helplessly patted his forehead.

No choice, let's do it!

And in Eagle Country, far across the Pacific Ocean.

At this time, it was another scene of liveliness.

Outside the White House, a political star was rising.

Political star Obama placed his hand on the Bible.

And said, "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of Eagle Country, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of Eagle Country."

A new era had arrived.

After Obama finished speaking, everyone on the White House plaza immediately began to cheer.

Obama returned to his office.

He looked at the past masters of the White House on the wall.

Staring quietly.

He was the first black person to be elected master of this White House.

"Mr. President."

"The fiscal budget has been prepared for you."

"Good."

Obama took the form.

And began to examine it carefully.

Halfway through, he frowned and said, "This item is too high."

Obama pointed to the Eagle Country defense budget and said.

He did not expect that the military budget actually accounted for ten percent of the national budget.

And he knew that the military had been lobbying to increase the budget.

The secretary said cautiously.

"Mr. President, are you sure?"

"Sure."

Obama said.

He came to power mainly relying on the Donkey Party, and the capital behind him was the Wall Street financial group.

Not the military-industrial giants.

Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to break with the military-industrial giants.

But the military could be restricted.

Or rather, there were too many Elephant Party people in the military now.

Either cut the budget or increase the number of Donkey Party people.

"Alright, I know."

Obama handed the form to the secretary, and the secretary soon went out.

Obama looked at the map of Eagle Country military garrisons and deployments on the table, frowning and saying nothing.

And regarding the economic report, Obama had his own views.

Currently in the world, there were very few countries with the strength to challenge Eagle Country, only one or two.

And among them, Maoxiong Guo was currently half-dead, although as the largest survivor after the dissolution of that alliance.

They still retained huge strength.

But after constant dismantling and suppression, especially the new economic policy and comprehensive privatization, Maoxiong Guo's economy was in a slump.

There was no need to pay too much attention to it.

Especially before they had walked out of the death spiral of economic downturn.

However.

There was another crucial major power.

Obama's finger pointed to a region in East Asia.

Dongda.

The economy of this country had developed rapidly after joining the World Trade Organization.

The annual economic growth rate was basically above ten percent.

It was simply too amazing.

Although it was because Eagle Country had a financial crisis in 2008 and shifted the crisis to them.

But having strength was the greatest original sin.

And their military strength was also growing rapidly, which was an unforgivable point.

This was something Eagle Country could not tolerate.

Think back to how rampant Xiao Ri Zi was.

Boasting that selling one Dongjing could buy half of Eagle Country.

But didn't a single agreement still make them quietly lose decades?

Thinking of this, Obama felt a chill.

He looked at the main battlefields of the Eagle Country military before.

In the Afghan region, Eagle Country had been fighting a war on terror there for a long time.

And was slow to resolve the opponent.

Every year, it still consumed a large amount of fiscal budget.

Obama decided.

It could not go on like this anymore.

This kind of bleeding out of thin air must stop.

Subsequently, Obama brought in his various advisors.

After being in seclusion for a few days.

A plan was finally reached.

The next day.

In Congress.

Obama couldn't help but say triumphantly.

I have a plan.

That can cope with the new challenges of Eagle Country.

On his speech draft.

His topic was.

"Pivot to Asia-Pacific Plan"
