It would be interesting to see if Dalian will follow the same modular method of building the hull as the one in Shanghai.

I believe they will study the construction methods used by JNCX shipyard in building PLANS Fujian and improve their previous experience on building CV17. The most obvious advantage of using large module blocks construction is less time would be spent in the dry dock.
For reference, this is CV17's 2016 module construction CG by 大包。

personally I hope DL builds another 003 CV
and then JNCX builds a CVN which DL later starts after true 003 is completed
this way they have 3 Classes of Carrier's in duplicates
2 x STOBAR, CV-16 and CV-17 with 24 x aircraft each
2 x CATOBAR, CV-18 and CV-19 with 36 x aircraft each
2 x CVN-20 and CVN-21 with 48 x aircraft each
would simply the operations, logistics and operations
thats 216 naval aircraft able to fly in the sky far from home shores
that would be full Chinese Naval Strength of 6 x Carrier Strike Groups (CSG)
in time of war the USN forward deployed Carriers will be first to suffer a loss
this means USN can only really deploy 6-7 x CSG in the Pacific

I think there needs to some adjustment to methodology these days. Before if we saw a leaked image like this we could say with 70-90% certainty it represented something that was coming down the pipe. These days I think they have the budget to be exploratory so I think we can only say there’s a 70-90% certainty that they’re looking at a concept.
Has this photo been shared here before?
Allegedly a Linglong One reactor for marine use. Unsure if true.

well. today my friend send me this picture with some details.
The marine-type nuclear power device Linglong No. 1 has made progress, and China's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is coming!
China has made significant progress in the miniaturization of high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors, and some media have exposed the marine model of Linglong One.
The nuclear reactor has a diameter of 10 meters and a height of 15 meters, and its parameters are completely suitable for being equipped on an aircraft carrier. The output power reaches 125 megawatts, which is 25 megawatts higher than the 100 megawatts output power of the current US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Nimitz..
don't have any link. so can't confirm this information. waiting for more details.
No need to blot out faces, this picture is pretty public, as well as the story.
Don't military marine reactors use highly enriched fuel to give them long endurance as opposed to the civil ones which use lower grade fuel. I'm not a nuclear physicist but could they not use highly enriched fuel in the ACP100S reactor? I'm guessing it would require a more in depth rework of the reactor design to be able to control the reaction.
