Does not explain how you can move things into the shed or the crane is able to move items with all the braces over on top. This means the items that can be lowered will have to be smaller and shorter than the spaces between the braces.
That is not how warship bulkheads look like. The way the modules look, they are finished from the sides and the bottom, and the next will be to fill what is in between.
The next is from a battleship's by the way.
It matches it to a tee. There wont be "perpendicular bulkheads" but the turbines are going into that space.

Why does the module have a wall in the middle ?
I take it that’s not for the hanger ?
hanger modules will sit on top of that ?

Divider between port and starboard turbine rooms.

It is the part of the hull, that is below the waterline. It is for machinery spaces, magazines, etc.
The gas turbine doesn't justify this big space .
This is Rolls Royce MT30 25MW gas turbine, the QE has 4 of these.
Each turbine is 8.7 meters long and 3.5 meters wide, and 3m tall.
150 MW of propulsion power can fit into one 10 m long module , with bulkheads included in the module, and the transmission can be in the next airtight section.
The single bottom module can accommodate shaft power, so the other long sections can not be engine space.
The rectangle is 10m*26 meters, by the .It could accommodate 6 MT30.
And the vertical clearance of the space is too big as well.
And finally ,there should be 4 shaft , means the expectation is to see 4 separated, watertight section, and preferably each pair shifted bow /stern, to increase the survivability.

100 MW
Don't underestimate some of the sizes and output steam turbines can aspire to. There are those over 1000 MW.
Creating a 50MW steam turbine would be peanuts. Having said that, warships like redundancy, so lets say they would go with 4 x 25MW units over 2 x 50MW units.
There can be no doubt this hull is a warship. The clinching factor isn’t the size of the supposed engineering space or how it is being assembled. There can be a number of reasons why the Chinese choose to build the engineering space the way they’ve done. The clinching factor is the side wall of the hull is so thick (around 7 meters) it must contain a fairly deep underwater protection system. No merchant double hull is going to consume 7 meters of otherwise revenue making Space. No merchant ship would need such deep compartments on either side of the central hull cavity.
