Rebirth of Military Workers

"4000 tons? Mr. Wang, are you kidding? What is the design tonnage of 052?" Zheng Yucheng was exasperated.

No matter what, it's not going to happen like this, right?

At present, the full load displacement of 053H2 is only 2100 tons, even the improved 053H2G, the full load displacement is only 2250 tons, which is the thing currently under construction.

It is a joke to increase the displacement from 2250 tons to 4000 tons at a full load.

There is no such technical ability at all.

"No kidding. The full-load displacement of the 052 design is only 4200 tons, but this project did not consider loading ground attack missiles..." Wang Hengyuan was originally looking for an opportunity, and now he will not let the opportunity delivered to his door.

053 If it really reaches such a tonnage, it will no longer be a pure frigate.

However, from the current tonnage to 4000 tons, the displacement will almost double, and the technical difficulty required is definitely not too small.

Xie Kai was dumbfounded by him.

No wonder that after entering the 21st century, Hudong Shipyard built a new frigate such as 054 with a full-load displacement of 3,900 tons. Even the 054A guided missile frigate, which was later replaced by the navy, had a full-load displacement of 4,200 tons...

It's terrible.

At present, it is too difficult to build 052 guided missile destroyers in China, and many technical equipment are still prepared to be imported from the world.

Although, when the 054A has developed to a full load displacement of 4200 tons, the 052D has been equipped with the navy, and the displacement has reached the level of 7500 tons.

But at that time, the domestic technical system had been fully upgraded, and it was the result of decades of technical accumulation.

Can it be supported technically if it is so big now?

Xie Kai still didn't believe it.

"Mr. Wang, the lengthening and widening of these warships in front of you may seem simple, but doubling the displacement is too aggressive? Can our technical reserves be able to support it?" Xie Kai asked seriously.

If there is technology, it can be designed, and the construction is not too difficult. He really hopes that it can be built now.

The navy needs big warships.

The larger the tonnage, the better.

With large tonnage and sufficient space, more weapons can be installed, and endurance can be increased at the same time, which allows the navy's range of activities to be increased.

It is also necessary not to go to the Pacific Ocean to take a bath, but to take care of the nursing home in the small pond in the South China Sea.

Now the Navy relies on the old and backward warships like 051 to carry the banner.

But the problem is that the navy's warships can not only increase the length but also increase the width, you can build stronger and more advanced warships.

How to solve the power system?

After adding some length, what about the strength of the hull structure?

How to deal with the layout of weapons and equipment and the layout of various radars when the space is large?

Even in the 052 project, many of the power systems, electronic systems, weapon systems, etc. are derived from Western countries.

Up to now, China has no experience in building advanced destroyers and frigates.

If so, doesn't the Navy want to equip warships with larger tonnage and greater firepower?

"The design is not a big problem. Don't we want to make technical reserves for the 055 of the 10,000-ton large drive? Anyway, the 055 project is doing pre-research, we can fully demonstrate some technologies on such a project..." Wang Hengyuan was a little embarrassed Said, "Some of the technologies of the 052 project can be imported from abroad, and our new frigate can also be imported, or shared with the 052 project, so that scientific research funds can also be diluted."(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

This kind of thinking is undesirable.

Xie Kai was even more dissatisfied when he heard the words of diluted funds.

Does Qi Zhiyuan mean it or the people at Hudong Shipyard are not satisfied just to build small warships and want to make warships of larger tonnage?

Looking at Zheng Yucheng, Zheng Yucheng's gaze was looking back and forth between Qi Zhiyuan and Li Qingmin, who was not far away, from time to time. Obviously the old guy didn't know.

"Mr. Wang, this is a very good idea. It is what all teams hope to achieve to dilute scientific research funds. But have you ever thought about it. Once this project is launched, even if scientific research funds can be diluted, how much investment do we need? Research, 0.55 million tons of large drive is in pre-research, and the dock of Hudong Shipyard will be expanded to make it possible to manufacture larger tonnage merchant ships..." Xie Kai asked dissatisfiedly.

Wang Hengyuan couldn't answer for a moment.

Everyone knows this situation.

This requires a lot of money.

"We are not only the cost of warships, but also fighter projects and other projects." Zheng Yucheng also spoke.

There was a bad tone in his tone.

Qi Zhiyuan hurriedly said, “In the initial design, it does not require much funding. Many technologies are derived from the technology of a 0.55 million ton-level large drive. As long as such a project is undertaken, the supporting facilities can be driven to keep up.”

"The package keeps up? Let us invest in the package?" Zheng Yucheng immediately blamed Qi Zhiyuan.

Here, in front of Li Qingmin and others, he didn't show any face.

The entire 404 stall is too large, almost involving sea, land and air. Any project is a huge gold swallowing behemoth. If the capital chain breaks, all projects of the entire unit will be seriously affected.

"Under the current circumstances, the 052 project on the 701 side has not yet clearly started construction. There are many domestic shipyards, and everyone is waiting for the production plan. Since we have project autonomy, we can help if we can. The navy The warship is too backward..." Qi Zhiyuan also understands the current situation of the base.

The research and development of naval equipment is very different from the aviation field.

Naval equipment is completely related to all industrial systems of the entire country.

"Navy's thoughts?" Xie Kai asked grimly.

If I knew it, I wouldn't want the Hudong Shipyard.

He didn't want it before. He originally thought that he could slowly promote the development of other supporting units in the shipbuilding industry through the production of merchant ships, but these people were not satisfied with such a slow speed.

Everyone is anxious.

If you want to develop quickly, it is impossible without sufficient funding; even with sufficient funding, it will take a long time.

There is not enough technology accumulation in China.

"No, our idea. The tonnage of a frigate like 053 is too small for the navies of some countries. The Argentine military visited us before and disliked that the tonnage was too small." Qi Zhiyuan explained the reason.

Although the Argentine Navy is lagging behind, the number of large-tonnage warships is not small.

This is a navy team that has aircraft carriers and cruisers, and the main battleships are more advanced than the Chinese Navy.

Admiral Brown-class frigates produced by the Germans have just delivered 4 ships to Argentina. How could they seek to purchase warships from China?

"This is true. The Argentine Navy is actually worse than ours. They want to build their own warship research and development and production capabilities. We have perfect industrial capabilities, and they have rich experience in naval command and use of advanced warships..." Qi Seeing that neither of them believed, Zhiyuan said.

Argentina is a regional power in South America, and its industrial system also has some.

But Xie Kai does not believe that Argentina is capable of supporting the development of the navy, especially the economy, which cannot be supported at all.

How can it be possible to work with China to burn money together?

"The Argentine Navy plans to carry out large-scale modifications to their Mayflower aircraft carrier, including power, electricity, three defenses, damage control systems, flight decks and bridges, and plans to replace steam turbines with gas turbines, and use new catapults. The steam catapult...If you can participate in them, it will be of great benefit to our aircraft carrier program.” Wang Hengyuan also explained.

They wanted to cooperate with the Argentine Navy for this, and in the previous contact process, both sides had that willingness.

When Xie Kai heard it, he was a little surprised.

Argentina’s Mayflower aircraft carrier is a "Giant" class aircraft carrier built by the British during World War II. It was sold to the Dutch in 1948, used by the Dutch for 20 years, and sold to the Argentines in 1968.

The Argentines made some modifications to the aircraft carrier, mainly to increase the area of ​​Class A and lengthen the catapult so that the super flag of the Argentine Navy can be used on the aircraft carrier.

In the Battle of the Falkland Islands in 1982, the Mayflower equipped with American-made A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft and legal-made Super Military Standard attack aircraft was located because of the lack of wind, even if the aircraft carrier speed was increased to a maximum speed of 25 knots. In the end, the A-4 attack aircraft loaded with ammunition was not able to fly into the sky, which saved the British fleet.

The Argentine Navy has aircraft carriers and 10,000-ton cruisers, but it lacks frigates that match the aircraft carriers, especially naval and air anti-submarine frigates.

Xie Kai knows this.

It is also clear that the Argentine aircraft carrier did not complete the modernization and upgrade. Until the end of 1992, the Argentine Navy only dismantled the parts that needed to be modified, and was permanently decommissioned in 1993.

"After Argentina lost the cruiser General Belgrano, their naval power lags behind Brazil even further. The four frigates provided by the Germans also benefited from the fact that they had ordered it before. Now Argentina has a difficult time because of its relationship with the United Kingdom. Weapon support from Western countries. The Niteroi-class frigates equipped by the Brazilian Navy have a full-load displacement of 3,700 tons. More importantly, these frigates are built by the Brazilians themselves..."

"..." For a while, Xie Kai had nothing to say.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Argentine Navy to have no thoughts.

When they bought the aircraft carrier, it was because the Brazilians bought the aircraft carrier in 60 years and became the most powerful country in South America...

Zheng Yucheng's face was also heavy, Qi Zhiyuan kept winking aside.

"Let’s talk about this, let’s talk about the 053H3 ship first. At present, the internal structure has been completed, and it is not easy to modify it according to the requirements of the Saudi military. It is okay to improve the living environment of the officers, but if it is To improve the living conditions of the soldiers, we must reduce more operators." Qi Zhiyuan saw that Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng both had their expressions relaxed, and quickly changed the subject.
