Even the onshore civilian nuclear power plants use scaled up submarine reactors.
That "wall" in the middle of the module pretty much prevents inserting the "box" inside it.
Comparing to the last photos, it seems to me that the pieces of hull being built behind the second module have alongated it, approaching those two connected hangars in the back. If the two big pieces have been connected, is still up in the air, i think. Also, it appears that there are now 3 smaller cranes operational, instead of only one (the bases of the other 2 were already there).
There is more module, and the bottom one has separation wall.
And what else can be the purpose of those modules at the up left corner of the area ?
Actually, if you check this photo, you will see that this wall goes beyond the bottom one. I dont think that that box could be inserted there.
To build the ship.
Actually it seems that there are only 2 smaller cranes up in the air. The other actually seems to be the smaller horizontal crane.
can be, but in that case the ships is not a carrier, or the building is in an earliest stage, because they need to fill up the huge holes under the water level. The building is slow anyway, if there is less parallelism in it then its going with the speed of snail.
The under the waterline section of the ship should be full with machines/ metal / supplies, not with air, otherwise the centre of gravity will be too high, and the centre of buoyancy (or whatever is the name of it in shipbuilding language ) will be too low.

64*27 meter big hole in the middle of the ship.
We have no firm information about the geometry under the roof, but from the three module visible two has huge emptiness in the place of the internal structures, and the third looks like a box dropped into the hole.

They are still dredging the waterway, from the looks of it it's still too shallow that the hull would run aground in this state.Jiangnan flyover.
The actual amount spend by China and US can be quite misleading. Many westerners claimed that China spending is much larger because they said many defense related programs are not listed under defense. Just like the US, monies spend on nuclear defense are listed under power/energy.
