Wealth

In the past few days in Guangzhou, Fan Heng seemed a little worried.

　　One of the reasons is naturally that Fan Wubing got involved, and the second reason is that I have been to visit Tongfeng Company for a few days, and I feel a little bit about it.

　　 In recent years, the life of state-owned enterprises has been difficult!

Take the Pingyuan Machinery Factory where Fan Heng is located as an example. It is a military industrial enterprise. Relatively speaking, it is better. The military orders can basically maintain the basic operation of the factory, but it is difficult to develop. In the past few years, the main tone of the country’s external propaganda has been peaceful coexistence. Therefore, this issue of armaments must not be too relaxed, so as not to teach people.

　　Pingyuan Machinery Factory is an enterprise that provides shipborne weapons for the Navy. Simply put, it specializes in the production of a type of torpedo.

　　 Torpedo is a weapon used in water in naval battles. After launching, it can control the navigation direction and depth by itself. It can explode as long as it encounters a ship. It has the characteristics of fast sailing speed, long range, good concealment, high hit rate and great destructiveness. It can be said to be a "water missile."

　　 torpedoes mainly target warships and submarines, and they can also be used to block ports and narrow waterways. The front part is a thunder head, equipped with zha medicine and fuze; the middle part is a thunder body, equipped with navigation and control devices; the rear part is a fish tail, equipped with power devices such as engines and thrusters, and the power system energy is gas and electricity. Wait. According to different needs, torpedoes are divided into three types: large, medium and small. Those with a diameter of 533 mm or more are large torpedoes; those with a diameter between 400 and 450 mm are medium-sized torpedoes; those with a diameter of less than 324 mm are small torpedoes. Torpedoes are mainly carried by ships, but can also be carried by planes when necessary.

　　 At the beginning of World War I, torpedoes have been recognized as the main weapon of ships second only to artillery. During the First World War, the transport ships sunk by torpedoes amounted to 11.53 million tons, accounting for 89% of the total tonnage of the sunken transport ships; 162 ships, accounting for 49% of the total number of sunken ships. During the Second World War, the total tonnage of transport ships sunk by torpedoes reached 13.66 million tons, accounting for 68% of the total tonnage of sunken transport ships; the number of ships reached 369, accounting for 38.5% of the total number of sunken ships.

Compared with missiles, the role of traditional torpedoes has great limitations. It is only suitable for attacking surface ships or shore-based fortifications, or for submarine offensive methods, unlike missiles. It can be applied, and its combat radius is much smaller than that of missiles. If it weren't for the particularity and low price of deep-water combat, this thing is probably in the phase of elimination.

　　 Domestic torpedo weapons, due to historical reasons, are basically in the same line as the torpedoes developed by Soviet Russia, and their technical performance only stays on the thermal power torpedoes of the early twentieth century, which are commonly known as steam gas torpedoes.

　　 In foreign countries, the development of torpedo technology can be described as changing with each passing day.

　　 In 1938, Germany first equipped a submarine with a trackless electric torpedo, which overcomes the shortcomings of thermal torpedoes that are easily found due to the formation of tracks due to exhaust gas during navigation. In 1943, Germany developed a single-plane passive acoustic homing torpedo, which can receive water and naval noise and automatically guide the torpedo, increasing the hit rate. At the end of the Second World War, Germany invented a wire-guided torpedo. The launching ship was guided by a wire connected to the tail of the torpedo, and it was not easy to be disturbed.

　　 In the mid-1950s, the United States made a dual-plane active acoustic homing torpedo (also known as an anti-submarine torpedo), which can search in three-dimensional space in the water and attack submarine submarines. In 1960, the United States first developed the "Athrock" rocket-assisted torpedo (also known as an anti-submarine missile), which was carried by a rocket to enter the water at a predetermined point to automatically search, track, and attack submarines. After the 1970s, the torpedo adopted a microcomputer, improved the function of the self-guided device, and strengthened the anti-jamming and target recognition ability. Its speed has increased to 90-100 km/h, and its range has reached 46,000 meters. Although the status of torpedoes has declined due to the emergence of anti-ship missiles, it is still an important weapon of the navy. Especially in attack submarines, torpedoes are the main attack weapon.

In the past, Fan Heng was limited to the status level. What he did was only responsible for the final assembly of torpedo weapons. Now that the level has been upgraded, he can see more internal information. UU reading www.uukanshu.com learned about it. After the huge gap between domestic and foreign countries, the shock in my heart is unspeakable.

　　How to survive and develop for domestic military enterprises is a big issue, and it is not determined by cadres at Fan Heng's level, but this does not prevent him from thinking about this issue in his own mind.

The torpedo technology of the Pingyuan Machinery Factory naturally originated from the Soviet Union, and later developed a part of it independently. Since the Sino-Soviet relationship has been in a state of hostility since the 1960s, the technological progress is very limited, and the gap with developed countries is also increasing. Big. Since the beginning of this year, Sino-U.S. relations have gradually warmed up. After the ban on some technologies has been lifted, the country is also developing electric-powered torpedoes on their own. The effect is not bad, but compared with the latest torpedoes, it is obviously not on the same level.

　　 At the beginning of this year, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam broke out. One month's continuous strikes have made Vietnam a lot of peace, and the battle on the sea has also obtained a certain record, especially the capture of a complete Soviet-made new torpedo. The military, as a treasure, immediately took the torpedo back to Tongfeng Company in Guangzhou for anatomical research, hoping to obtain key core technologies.

The delegation headed by Fan Heng mainly came to contact with Feng Company to absorb advanced experience. It is also a military enterprise under the Ministry of Machinery Industry. Naturally, there is nothing to entangle on the issue of confidentiality. The key is to look at the technical strength in that area. If you are more robust, you will naturally get more fruitful results.

Although Fan Wubing’s incident caused some troubles to Fan Heng, he took the lead in his work, but he brought the most top-notch technical force in the factory. How could he not let his colleagues from Tongfeng Company, who are a brother unit, look at it. joke.

　　 Therefore, as soon as Fan Heng entered the state, he couldn't take care of Fan Wushu.
