00X/004 future nuclear CATOBAR carrier thread

Personally, the construction speed after the Spring Festival is not as fast as that at the beginning of the year, and the obvious change is only that a section of side wall is installed in the front. Perhaps they put their energy into improving the internal equipment installation of the part that has been completed at present.

I think this is normal, after they added each module block they will have to work inside the connected modules to install piping, cables, welding, and fixture and fittings like furniture, machinery, equipment, internal painting or coating etc.

I also believe interior works take longer time to complete than the basic module blocks, sometimes we don't see any progress externally like it take a long time to add a new module.

We have also observed that modules were placed on the dock yard for a long time before they hoist it to join the hull in progress.

But naturally we are more excited to see external changes than the un-observable progress inside the hull.

We may, possibly, with a heaping tablespoon of salt, be seeing the first component of the actual island:

I honestly can't see anything in that orange circle.

It is claimed that the hull module depicting the side wall structure near/at one of the elevator wells has been spotted. Posted by @一定会对蛙动手 on Weibo.

If the shape of that superstructure mock up is accurate to that intended for real thing, it suggest to me the new carrier will use some new smaller AESA panels, possible the same aperture distributed over more separate panels? because the main facets on that mockup seem too small to accommodate the customary type 346 panels. On the 003 the diagonal facets are substantially larger to accommodate the 346 panels.
