On April 29, CSSC and QatarEnergy held a signing ceremony for 18 of the world's largest ultra-large liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers of 271,000 cubic meters in Beijing. And according to the previously reported news, the total amount of this transaction is about 40.423 billion yuan, setting a record for the world's largest single shipbuilding order!
Many media have reported the news one after another, which has aroused great attention and heated discussions among netizens!
In the past, liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, large cruise ships and aircraft carriers were known as the three pearls of the shipbuilding industry. When China did not overcome technical problems, many people were angry on the Internet, saying that the "crown jewels" were in the hands of European and American countries.
In recent years, China's aircraft carriers have begun to enter service, liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers have won large orders one after another, and large cruise ships have also been launched. It is recognized that the most difficult ship continent in the world to build has been built, and there are fewer and fewer "crown jewels" left for people who worship foreign countries!
Success has not come easily, and we have paid too much from the development of poverty and whiteness to the current level.
More than 100 years ago, the late Qing government relied on compradors to establish the Beiyang Naval Division, which was known as the first in Asia and the ninth in the world. However, the Beiyang Naval Division, which did not have its own core technology, was defeated head-on by the Japanese Navy in the First Sino-Japanese War and was completely annihilated.
The ship was bought at a high price and sank to the bottom of the sea, Deng Shichang and other outstanding generals stained the sea with blood, and the Qing government was forced to paste 230 million taels of silver as war reparations, leaving an extremely humiliating mark in China's modern history.
After that, the imperialist powers ran rampant in the territorial waters of the mainland for several decades, showing off their might in all kinds of ways, making the hearts of the people feel like knives.
In April 1949, during the battle of crossing the Yangtze River in the Liberation War, the British warship Purple Quartz was still roaming in the frontline area of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River on the mainland. However, our heroic People's Liberation Army was not comparable to the weak Qing Dynasty, and the soldiers who crossed the river resolutely opened fire on the British warship Purple Quartz, and after a series of artillery battles, finally the British Purple Quartz warship fled in the night, and this incident also marked the complete end of the imperialist powers' "gunboat diplomacy" in China!
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, because it started too late, the mainland's shipbuilding technology was still very backward. In the stage of technological catch-up, generations of researchers and engineers have paid too much blood and sweat, and have endured too much humiliation.
In 1980, General Liu Huaqing, known as China's "father of modern navy" and "father of China's aircraft carrier", was asked by the Americans to watch and keep a distance when visiting the US aircraft carrier.
On April 26, 2017, the launching ceremony of our first domestically built aircraft carrier Shandong was held, but unfortunately General Liu Huaqing was not able to see the picture of the Shandong ship being launched.
In 2022, the first catapult-type aircraft carrier Fujian, which was completely designed and built by the mainland, was launched. At this point, there is no technical bottleneck in China's aircraft carriers under construction! Domestic aircraft carriers, 10,000-ton destroyers, liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, large cruise ships, and so on, these military and civilian heavy weapons have appeared one after another, and netizens ridiculed China's shipbuilding speed as if it was "dumplings".
However, this is not enough!
China's entry into the sea of stars and the pursuit of dreams of thousands of miles of sea and sky has just begun, and our shipbuilding technology is still improving.
We are making key breakthroughs in various fields of science and technology, which is also inseparable from the tireless efforts and sacrifices of generations of researchers and engineers, who have contributed to immortality!
China's maritime dream is becoming a trend, and it is believed that in the near future, the mainland's scientific and technological strength will once again develop by leaps and bounds, and continue to help achieve more ambitious goals.
