Scholars in the courtyard

"I want this gas turbine."

Old Zhou took a deep breath and said this.

Old Chen knew that if there was nothing wrong, he would definitely not say this based on his understanding of Old Zhou.

"Sit down first. What happened?"

Old Chen pulled Old Zhou to the stool, and then Old Qin also came over.

Liang Zuoxin saw Old Chen's look and stepped forward to let everyone stay away from the three people.

Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin all left far away, and Jiang Defu, who followed them, came to the scene and looked at the gas turbine that was becoming more and more complete.

"Old Chen, the destroyer designed and manufactured in Shanghai is called a destroyer, but we all know what it is."

"It's just an enlarged model."

Old Chen nodded.

You can't get fat in one bite.

Even if the big ship is made, it's useless if there is no suitable carrier-based aircraft on it.

It's like having a very powerful gun but no bullets to use. Isn't it still useless?

So they didn't do blind research, but enlarged it proportionally to make a big ship that suits the current situation.

It was claimed to be a destroyer, but in fact it was just equipped with guns and radars. It looked strange, but outsiders could not tell.

"What's wrong? Is the model wrong?"

Old Chen was nervous. If the model was wrong, the nuclear submarines of the Second Machine Department would have to be stopped immediately. They could not bring danger into the water.

"No, no, this model is very accurate, very good."

"What's going on?"

Old Chen just breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked.

Old Qin on the side also pricked up his ears.

Mr. Zhou sighed, "The problem lies in the power."

"You know, this model uses nuclear power, right?"

"But we don't have nuclear power, so when the designer was designing, he replaced the power with two steam turbines. These steam turbines were obtained from the Alliance. According to calculations, each has more than 8,000 horsepower."

"If the two steam turbines are working, the maximum speed of the ship can reach 25 knots and the cruising speed is 21.5 knots."

"But when it was launched for sea trials, it was found that the maximum speed could not even reach 20 knots."

After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, Mr. Chen and Mr. Qian's faces changed.

"No way, how can there be such a big difference?"

"Didn't you do any demonstration when designing?"

"How could such a mistake happen?"

The two asked questions in succession, leaving Mr. Zhou at a loss as to how to answer.

After a long while, Zhou Lai said, "These two steam turbines are the best engines we can find."

"The gas turbines tested at the Shanghai Turbine Factory are only small, and the horsepower is less than 600."

"What's the use of this horsepower?"

Hearing this, Chen and the other two were silent.

Qin clenched his fists.

"Of course, we can also use the old steam engine, but in that case, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?"

Chen took a deep breath, and then looked at the gas turbine being installed.

"So, you came here for it?"

Zhou nodded, "Yes!"

"It's for it."

Zhou stood up and walked forward, looking at the nearly ten-meter-long big guy, his eyes lit up.

"I heard that a heavy-duty gas turbine was being researched here, and then I contacted Lao Jiang and got the confirmed news."

"Finally, I called again and asked, and then I knew that it was true."

Speaking of this, he turned around and said, "You guys did a really good job of keeping it secret."

Mr. Chen didn't say anything, but Mr. Qin excused his partner, "Is it still a secret? It has been spread a long time ago, you just don't believe it."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhou's expression changed. When he first heard about this, he was still very excited and asked someone to inquire about it. As a result, the Shanghai Shipyard sent news that this was all for "fishing" and deliberately released false news.

The result really worked. Of course, the final result may not be good, but it also played a role.

The enemy who came in was captured.

Later, news came from the machinery factory again.

Subconsciously, they thought it was a repeat of the old trick.

So they didn't pay much attention.

Until he contacted Lao Jiang and learned that the machinery factory was really producing a gas turbine.

He then realized that this was not a repetition of an old trick, but a combination of reality and illusion, which was in line with the art of war.

"Does this gas turbine have data?"

Old Zhou was watching from the side. He had also visited the Shanghai Turbine Factory. Compared with this one, that gas turbine was like a child. The two-meter-long gas turbine was not much bigger than a diesel engine.

This one in front of him was big at first glance.

Big means powerful.

As Old Zhou asked, Old Chen looked at Yang Youning not far away, who hurried over and immediately told him the data he had learned.

"Commander, this gas turbine was modified from the turbojet engine in our factory. The whole process was designed and guided by Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

Yang Youning told the truth and finished the research process. No one doubted this.

"We call this gas turbine 'Jiaolong No. 1'. The entire gas turbine consists of air intake, pressurization, combustion and other parts. The overall structure is designed with reference to the HXJ-1 turbojet engine."

"This Jiaolong No. 1 can use fuel oil or coal gas as power. According to the estimate designed by Comrade Yang Xiaotao, the power can reach 15,000 kilowatts."

"Of course this is just an estimate, and the specifics will depend on actual testing."

After Yang Youning finished telling the general data, Mr. Zhou shouted in surprise, "How much power?"

Yang Youning was startled and thought he had said something wrong, but after thinking about it, he was sure that was what Zhang Guanyu told him at that time.

He nodded again and said it again.

Mr. Zhou was completely silent.

But the person who came with Mr. Zhou quickly calculated, and then his face showed a complicated process of shock, disbelief, and surprise.

Fifteen thousand kilowatts, converted into horsepower, there are 20,000 horsepower.

This one can support two steam turbines.

If two gas turbines are used together, wouldn't it be 40,000 horsepower?

Zhou Lai heard a shocked voice from behind him, and then turned around to hear the other party's explanation.

"Chief, if this is really the case, then this gas turbine can support two steam turbines."

"If this were two gas turbines"

In an instant, Mr. Zhou was no longer calm.

Twenty thousand horsepower, although it is an estimate.

But not too small.

Even at a 20% discount, it's still 16,000, and the two units add up to 32,000. If this is placed on a boat, it will definitely run very fast.

"Okay, great."

Mr. Zhou couldn't wait to go down and touch this machine with his own hands now.

Unfortunately, the lower part was not installed yet, so he could only watch from the side.

"Lao Zhou, come and sit down and rest. Don't be in a hurry, it's still early."

Mr. Chen glanced at the anxious Lao Zhou in front of him, felt the dusty aura on his body, and spoke to persuade him.

"Old Chen, how can I still think about sitting down?"

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. When you come here, I make the decision."

Mr. Chen said categorically, and Mr. Zhou had no choice but to turn around and sit down.

"Director Yang, please arrange to send us some food."

Yang Youning immediately nodded to Chen Gong, who immediately ran out of the workshop.

Only then did Mr. Zhou realize that he had come in a hurry, and his stomach rumbled.

"That one must be Yang Xiaotao."

Mr. Zhou asked, pointing to the people in the field who were directing everyone's operations and who came forward to install from time to time.

The last time he saw him was when Yang Xiaotao and the chief gave him a model, but at that time he was focused on the model and didn't communicate much with Yang Xiaotao.

As for going forward, I spent most of my time dealing with Lao Huang and the others, and had even less contact with Yang Xiaotao.

"Yes, that's the boy."

Mr. Chen's eyes were full of concern, and his tone was full of pride.

Mr. Qin curled his lips after hearing this, but after thinking of something, he immediately looked at Mr. Zhou.

"Lao Zhou, this Lao Chen is from the machinery factory. It's inconvenient for him to say some things, but as an outsider, I have to say a few words."

"Otherwise, if the news spreads, people will think that we are all robbers."

Mr. Zhou immediately understood what Mr. Qin said, "Don't worry, although our sixth-level department is not as rich as your logistics department, our sincerity will definitely be the same."

"Don't worry, Old Chen. As long as you help, our Sixth Engine Department will take care of the gas turbines from now on."

“We want as much as we produce.”

Mr. Chen waved his hand after hearing this, "We know what to do without you having to tell us. It is our duty to support national defense construction."

"Haha, thank you very much."

Mr. Zhou said gratefully, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao in the field.

Mr. Qin also focused on that figure, and suddenly smiled and said, "This kid can be considered a miracle by me."

"What miracle?"

"Hey, look, this guy first made a steam engine, and then he made a diesel engine and a gasoline engine that ran on the ground."

"Some time ago, we built another engine that flies into the sky."

"Now we have even made an engine for traveling on the water."

"This involves sea, land and air. Who in our country can do it?"

When Mr. Qin said these words, the people around him, whether it was Mr. Chen, Zhou Lai, or the people from the Sixth Machinery Department, were stunned on the spot.

Even everyone in the machinery factory heard it and opened their mouths in shock.

Only then did they realize that Mr. Yang, who usually greeted them and sat on the stool with them to eat, was so powerful.

In the field, Yang Xiaotao looked at the gas turbine in front of him.

This one started to be assembled a few days ago.

As for the remaining one, it is about to be completed and is waiting for subsequent assembly.

When Yang Xiaotao started working this time, apart from the need to go through the first gas turbine and check if there were any problems, it was also training.

He refused to finish the rest of the work alone.

First he didn't have time.

Secondly, we cannot do this for long-term development.

Only by letting more people join in, master the essentials of installation, and learn to assemble, can he do more things.

"Old Huang, put this part back and press the No. 3 piece on first."

Looking at Huang Degong and Yang Xiaotao who were leading someone to carry a piece of board not far away, they spoke at the right time.

The order of installation is important.

Some things seem to be an installation sequence, but when it is actually operated, it is not the same thing.

You know this, but others don't.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Huang Degong immediately changed people, took the No. 3 component, and then installed it on the combustion chamber under the command of Yang Xiaotao.

"Generally speaking, the structure of this gas turbine is simpler."

"Be careful not to get them in the wrong order, and pay attention to safety during the installation process. These parts are not light, so it's best to hire a few more people."

"In the later stage, we might as well develop some vehicle tools or something to make it easier to move around."

Yang Xiaotao pointed out the instructions while talking to Huang Degong, Zhang Guanyu and others.

Liu Daming and others listened attentively, and many of them took notes.

Some recorded the installation process, according to the part numbers on the design drawings, which part to do first, and which part needs attention.

One by one, one by one.

This situation appeared in the early days of the machinery factory. Yang Xiaotao gave on-site guidance, and then others learned and mastered it. This has become a fixed pattern.

Some recorded the suggestions Yang Xiaotao said, which will be followed up in the future.

Whether it is useful or not, they will experiment.

If it is useful, it will be promoted.

Of course, these things need to be done by themselves, and Yang Xiaotao only needs to talk.
