Just an update on what the stern section of the 076 LHD could eventually look like, based on the detailed satellite imagery taken in early June. CGI made by Big Bun on Weibo.

Latest flyover update on the 076 LHD at night. Posted by @琴石2022 on Weibo.
Several notable observations:
1. The engine compartment is gradually getting covered up.
2. There is a new opening spotted on the flight deck level at the stern section.
3. Work on EMCAT installation is now underway.
Additional information can be obtained in the 054/A FFG thread.

Could be, could be not.
At present, I'm still not willing to rule out twin island superstructures for the 076 LHD, given the anticipated position for one of the deck edge elevators (which is said to be located in between the twin islands).

Is it just the lighting or does it look like a second catapult is being worked on?
Do you think this module is even linked to they type 076?
If so, it seems pretty important, it also looks like it’s approaching the same height now as the top deck so far of the 076, which is interesting.
Daytime observations does not lend support to the idea of a second EMCAT on the 076 LHD, so its's mostly just lighting issues.
To be on the safer side, until we can observe said module more clearly (i.e. during daytime if not with with better camera resolution), I don't think I can make a deduction on that particular module.
