Expanded information:

One, the Liaoning ship's power system:

"The Varyag was designed and built as a conventionally powered aircraft carrier. Of course, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have an advantage over conventional carriers in terms of range. Generally, nuclear-powered carriers do not need to replace their nuclear fuel for 30 years, whereas conventional carriers need to be refueled after a period of time.

In addition, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have a great advantage as they don't need to take up much space in their power design, and they also save a lot of deck space by saving the flue of conventional aircraft carriers, and they can park more carrier aircraft.

The original Varyag used four tb-12 turbines, the predecessor of the tb-12 was the tb-8, which happened to be the main engine of the domestically produced 051 destroyer, the domestic model was 453. the tb-8 had a power of 36,000 hp. Back then, the 051 destroyer used two TB-8 steam turbines to achieve a rare high speed of 38 knots.

Second, the ship structure

Liaoning ship flight deck below more than ten layers, into the third layer, feel like a labyrinth, everywhere is the channel, cabin, the whole carrier inside the channel add up to a total length of tens of kilometers, you can imagine how complex the internal structure of the carrier.

The Liaoning has more than 3,000 compartments and more than 1,000 people live in them. There are a lot of rules to pass inside the carrier, such as going to the bow position, you have to go on the port side, which is the left side of the passage, and going to the transom position, you have to go on the starboard side, which is the right side of the passage. When going up and down the escalator, you have to follow the rule of going up first and then down.
