Would they really use two demo-modules in two different shipyards?
LUCA 韩 posted an photo in weibo, no sure what kind of module, unfortunately I can find the weibo link.
I can't tell what he's trying to say, some of the words are a bit blurry, but is he trying to pass off the QE module as 003, or merely using it to demonstrate a similar construction method that 003 is also using?
He was talking the code word to the guy 蓝鲨小队, that the same person 辽宁号指挥长, my understanding is 003 carrier module is being built in the factory，but some words I don't really understand, he used this picture to hint at this meaning.
I assume the message would be that 003 would be constructed in a method similar to QE class -- i.e.: in big blocks at various different sites before having final assembly at a single location, but who knows...
The actual module is quite large and tall and basically contains everything from (almost) the keel level to hangar roof level.
So construction method is likely to be much closer to what QE enjoyed, as opposed to smaller modules of 1-2 deck height that dalian used for cv17.
