Chapter 1227: 1147 Expensive Visit

Sometimes admission tickets are quite cheap. For example, going to Disneyland or Universal Studios International, a ticket costs more than 600 to over 1,000 dollars. It seems expensive, but in reality, it’s actually very cheap.

Because compared to touring an aircraft carrier, that admission fee is extremely affordable: to board a Great Tang Empire aircraft carrier currently in service, the boarding standard is… a deposit of one billion dollars.

Yes, one billion dollars as a deposit, plus a purchase contract worth 900 million dollars as the remaining payment. Only after the money is paid in full does a country qualify to send its delegation to board and tour a Great Tang Empire aircraft carrier.

As long as a country has its own ports and coastlines, no one would want to miss such an opportunity. Many countries paid the fee and then quickly arranged for delegations to visit Linshui, where a Great Tang Empire aircraft carrier was docked for resupply.

This aircraft carrier had only been launched slightly over three years ago. It was still quite new. It’s truly colossal, with a full-load displacement exceeding 30,000 tons. It is, in the truest sense, a fleet carrier.

It wasn’t until they climbed the gangway that the members of the delegation from Dorne truly grasped the enormity of the aircraft carrier: its ship sides were much taller than those of a battleship, and the flight deck was so vast that it showcased the grandeur and might of this gigantic war machine.

For this occasion, the aircraft carrier had been specially prepared, taking all attendees on a nearshore sailing tour.

The escort fleet consisted of three destroyers. The entire formation was an awe-inspiring sight, giving visitors firsthand experience of what it means to witness the majesty of an aircraft carrier strike group.
