Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2037 Project Statistics

The USS Roosevelt hurried to the dock for repairs, while the second Ford-class aircraft carrier, which was put into service ahead of schedule, could only "take a walk" in the waters around the Middle East, exhausted both physically and mentally. From time to time, the crew on the deck could find drones of unknown forces that had successfully avoided radar scans flying past not far away.

In such an embarrassing situation, some forces want to continue to fish in troubled waters in the Middle East, but they can only put the lid on the pot and endure as much as possible.

The Daxia Navy gained more and more military advantages, and with the help of public opinion and other measures, an all-round suppression was gradually formed.

The growth rate and strategic layout of the Daxia Navy have demonstrated from multiple levels the current strong comprehensive national strength of Daxia and its military proficiency that is several steps ahead of the Bald Eagle. This is an invisible deterrent to any other countries and regional forces in the world of Blue Star.

Originally, Uncle Sam wanted to cooperate with some capital institutions to put Jiuzhou Technology into a dilemma through coercion and inducement. He even wanted to ignite the smoke of war and drive major capitals back into the "safe" American financial market.

The second Ford-class aircraft carrier was needed to stabilize the situation in the target area and could not be deployed.

The USS Roosevelt's aircraft carrier fleet is already the strongest deck that can be played. In order to ensure smooth operations, the Pentagon has even approved an additional billion dollars for the upgrade and maintenance of the USS Roosevelt in a short period of time.

After waiting for many days, we finally set out to sea.

The result was a complete failure. Some carrier-based aircraft even crashed into the ocean and several carrier-based aircraft malfunctioned. When the losses of the entire Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet were being counted, the exaggerated but extremely specific and real figures made the staff in charge of the statistics secretly smack their lips.

An engineer saw that the staff's expression was not right, and of course he knew that the other party was surprised or suspicious, so he could only explain directly: "In fact, for the equipment that often breaks down and has accidents on aircraft carriers, our crew members have rich maintenance experience, and have prepared sufficient preventive maintenance and supplies and equipment, so some projects should not require large expenditures.

But the situation this time was completely different from the exercise. Five accidents occurred during the landing and take-off of carrier-based aircraft. The fuel and ammunition departments also caused some accidents due to improper refueling and bomb loading. In the initial report, someone did not count the small-scale fuel spontaneous combustion, fuel vapor explosion, hydraulic system failure, electrical equipment failure, electric welding and steam pipeline failure.

Therefore, in addition to the many projects we need to maintain this time, such as takeoff, landing, optical guidance, fuel filling, ammunition storage and transportation, the aviation support department also needs more funds to upgrade and maintain the projects we are responsible for. "

A metal cup that costs ten dollars can cost up to a thousand dollars.

For a three-hundred-dollar toilet, the purchase price can easily increase by two or three zeros.

This time, the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet returned home in defeat, but it is still an elite unit in main service.

Engineers are confident that this budget can be successfully reported and delegated.

As for how much money will eventually go into their own accounts, that is not the point. The point is how much management at all levels can get and whether the bigwigs in this network can take a closer look. However, this time the statistician is a young elite with a passion for money.

After carefully reading the documents, he frowned and said, "I have consulted relevant engineers. The most common fault of hydraulic system on ships is leakage, such as abnormal drop of pipeline pressure, low pressure or overpressure in the pipeline, bubbles and cavitation in the pipeline, hydraulic oil leakage, hydraulic cylinder actuation too fast or too slow, hydraulic valve blockage and other faults.

However, these faults can be completely troubleshooted and repaired by the ship's personnel, tools and spare parts, and the cost can be solved at a maximum of one million US dollars. But this expenditure of thirty-five million US dollars is obviously too much.

There is also the replacement of gears, rollers and other moving parts. The fleet has always had reserves, and the dock also has corresponding equipment and spare parts reserves. I have also heard an engineer say that although the guide rails and tracks are too large to be replaced, they can be installed and used after being polished. So the 50 million expenditure will obviously require more projects to meet.

However, the various oil pump motors and traction motors that are frequently used in this part need to be checked by professional engineers for their failures, so the amount of maintenance funds required is relatively high. However, 20 million US dollars is still a bit too high.

As for the various computers, industrial computers, control consoles, guide consoles, electrical cabinets and other hardware and software equipment used in the aviation support system, these faults must be repaired in a timely manner, and I can include this item in the statistical catalog.

Although $300 million is a bit much, they deserve better.”

Statistical staff are like the teachers' right-hand men and students in schools. They handle the trivial matters of these projects. Although they feel a lot of pressure, they are still meticulous.

After hearing these remarks, the reporting staff looked at the other party in surprise.

Because he didn't want to leave a negative impression of being unreliable, the fleet manager who was reporting on his work calmly thought about his words and explained to the staff member: "These expenditures are all recorded in history. There are too many uncertainties when the aircraft carrier fleet goes to sea. In addition, because many factory manufacturing industries have been outflowed to Daxia and surrounding markets in recent years, coupled with the increase in taxes, the purchase price has risen sharply.

Look at the hydraulic brake components above. Just the inspection of these components requires all the elites of the engineering team to go out and spend 40 man-hours to barely complete it.

There are also these pulley devices, which need maintenance every 100 to 200 ejections. Although each maintenance only takes 15 minutes to complete, many of the pulley devices this time do not require maintenance, but need to be replaced as a whole. These pulley devices are made of relatively expensive materials, so the purchase price is extremely high. One pulley may be more expensive than our annual salary.

In addition, if you look at the maintenance and upgrade of these key systems, such as cast joints for steel cables, pressed joints and connecting pins, axles and bearings of steering pulleys and other equipment, their structures are complex and their sizes are extremely large. The maintenance workload is the highest in the industry and the work requirements are also high, so the funds spent cannot be low.

If we withhold $100 million from these projects, we will likely suffer losses of hundreds of billions of dollars in the future.”
