Great warships

There is nothing the British can do about it. After all, for a long time, they only have two aircraft carriers on hand. They can only improve the two aircraft carriers on hand. This is the afterglow of the empire. What about the East? ? Instead of modifying it, why not make a brand new one!

"Taozi, can't you wait for me to finish speaking?" Wu Shengli rolled his eyes at Qin Tao again.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes." After saying that, he felt something was wrong and quickly shook his head: "Okay, Dad, I'll listen."

"Taozi, I just said that our navy wants to turn the 001 aircraft carrier into a training ship. Since our subsequent aircraft carriers will all be catapult-type aircraft carriers, this kind of leap training is no longer needed."

What does this mean? I still want to remove the bow of the ship! Qin Tao felt that his understanding was correct.

"Do you think there is any way to make simple changes to this aircraft carrier so that carrier-based aircraft pilots can use advanced take-off methods?"

Qin Tao shook his head: "I don't have that ability. Moreover, I think the navy does not necessarily need a training ship. It is a bit wasteful to use such a precious aircraft carrier for training. Moreover, for pilots, there is no need for electric bombs to take off. For training, pilots don’t have to do anything, but landing requires strict training, and our 001 aircraft carrier has no problem training for landing.”

001 aircraft carrier is the first aircraft carrier in the East. There are many opinions about its positioning. For example, it is a training ship, providing materials for the navy to explore the training of naval carrier aviation, etc. Later, it was changed to into a battleship.

However, Qin Tao thinks that the 001 aircraft carrier is a battleship. This is a warship that can go to the ocean at any time and show the strength of the military. Even if it is a little behind, it is still the second level in the world.

This warship is used as a training ship. What does Lao Maozi think? The Kuznetsov is still being renovated.

"Therefore, electromagnetic catapult is not necessary, and it is inconvenient to change. We should keep the original appearance. For pilots in our navy, there is no problem even if they master the ski jump takeoff and catapult takeoff of carrier-based aircraft. After all, the operations are similar. .”

How to operate?

Turn on the engine, slam on the brakes, put up the smoke deflector, watch the Minion's body language, release the brakes if necessary, and go for it.

That's right, even if you just go all out and take off from the deck, there's nothing to say. The throttle is always on. If it gets blown by a crosswind, it can only be bad luck. There is no other way to explain it.

The key is landing. This is when it comes to skills. 001 can definitely train it.

"You mean we don't have to move anymore?" Wu Shengli asked.

"Of course, it doesn't mean we don't have to move. After all, 001 is our first aircraft carrier. After all these years of intensive training, it is indeed time for an overhaul." Qin Tao said, "The warship enters the dock and enters a mid-term overhaul. It is also It’s normal. Our electronic technology has advanced rapidly over the years, so many of the equipment above should indeed be replaced. For example, the 346 radar must be replaced to keep the warships’ eyes open.”

At the beginning, when the 001 aircraft carrier was renovated, domestic electronic technology was not as developed as it is now. The four-sided air-cooled 346 radar used on the warship was already very good. However, now, it is obviously not enough. It is replaced by a new type of liquid cooling, or even Dual bands of 055 are possible.

There is no need to replace the 052C. Instead of replacing it, it is better to build a new one, but the 001 aircraft carrier still needs to be replaced. After all, this is a big guy. Just look at how much the old Maozi cherishes the Kuznetsov at hand.

The technology of 346 radar is constantly improving. In the early days, because the cost was too high, some bipolar silicon was even used on it. What about now? They are all made of gallium nitride, with high yield and strong radiation power. The search distance of the radar has been greatly increased. After using the latest Loongson processor, the overall performance of the radar is even more powerful. Of course, the 001 aircraft carrier must use it.

In addition to radar, there are also electronic systems such as communication, navigation, data link, electronic warfare, etc., which all need to be updated to improve the informatization level of warships and increase battlefield situation awareness. After all, when this kind of warship comes on board, it will definitely be the first one. The flagship of the formation.

Qin Tao introduced it to everyone.

"After talking about the electronic system, let's talk about the power system. The 001 aircraft carrier uses our own boilers and steam turbines. Over the years, it has run a long distance. The power system needs maintenance, repairs that need to be repaired, and replacement that needs to be replaced. , through this replacement, the 001 aircraft carrier can still run for more than ten years. By that time, it is estimated that the 001 aircraft carrier will really be no longer needed."

The 001 aircraft carrier was originally an aircraft carrier produced by Lao Maozi in the 2020s. After this overhaul, it will run for more than ten years and it will be 001. By that time, this aircraft carrier will have almost reached the end of its life. By then, the Navy will have four There are five nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, so there is no need for the aircraft carrier to charge forward.

“In the past, although we made reservations, it turned out that the power generation was still not enough, especially since we had to install new electronic equipment. Therefore, after this upgrade, we can also increase the power of the generator to meet the increasingly demanding needs. The growing demand for electricity." Qin Tao said, everyone listened and recorded, Wu Shengli did not make any other requests.

"Over the years, our close-in defense system has also been greatly improved. The 1130 close-in defense cannon and Haihongqi 10 are the latest close-in defense weapons. This overhaul will also be used on the 001 aircraft carrier, replacing the old 630 ship Remove the cannon. By the way, speaking of weapons, we have to talk about the launch tube on the front."

In Lao Maozi's hands, this kind of warship was called a heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser. Even if the deck was flat, there was still a huge anti-ship missile launcher hidden underneath. Later, Qin Tao once imagined cutting off this place and opening it up from front to back, but it still didn't work. I dared to move and wanted to make some improvements, but in the end it was nothing. These huge hanging hair devices are still on it. Now, it is time to make changes.

"These launch tubes can be stuffed with our YJ-21 anti-ship ballistic missiles. This transformation will just transform all of them. When needed in the future, we can launch a wave for a saturation attack. Of course Yes, if the Navy has other ideas, it can also replace it with other anti-ship missiles. The YJ-18 we recently tested is also good."

We have finished talking about the missile system.

"Over the years, the 001 aircraft carrier has undergone intense training. It is said that the anti-rust paint on the deck has been worn away. We will take this opportunity to repaint the inside and outside to give it a brand new look. "

Qin Tao finished talking about these modification plans, and then looked at his father-in-law: "Dad, these are my ideas. Please criticize and correct me."

"Well, we will have a meeting to discuss this plan later. Let's discuss this much for today. It's getting late. Let's adjourn the meeting!"

Wu Shengli took Qin Tao on the way home. Qin Tao couldn't help but say: "Dad, in the past, you would say hello in advance if anything happened. Why has it changed now?"

"It's not that I've changed, it's that I'm more cautious. From now on, at home, we won't talk about work matters."

"Okay." Qin Tao agreed immediately. He was also worried about whether he would discuss a lot of work with his father-in-law again after returning home. When he went home, he just wanted to see his little cotton-padded jacket.

Compared with daughters, sons and daughters each have their own interests. The son has grown up and has his own thoughts. If he doesn’t kiss his father, the daughter will be different. When Qin Xue saw her father coming back, she happily rushed forward and hugged her. He touched Qin Tao's neck and kissed him several times.

"Dad, you came back very early today." Zhao Ling came up and took Wu Shengli's handbag.

"Well, we have a meeting today, Taozi, what we are talking about..."

"Dad, don't talk about work at home." After Qin Tao finished speaking, he hugged his daughter: "Xue'er, how about you tell dad what happened at school?"

"Well, Dad, I made a good friend in school..."

The steaming meal was quickly served on the table. The family sat down and ate lively. Soon, Wu Shengli thought of something else: "Taozi, let's go to Qiongzhou together in a few days."

"Dad, don't talk about work at home. Let's eat vegetables. Come on, Xue'er, dad will give you a piece of braised pork."

Wu Shengli was blocked again! He looked helplessly at Qin Tao, who was taking care of his daughter to eat, looking like a good father.

After dinner, Wu Shengli was reading a newspaper on the sofa. Qin Tao also picked up one and planned to make an origami airplane for his daughter. However, when he glanced at it, his eyes suddenly widened.

My father-in-law has been promoted again and has an important position, so I need to keep a distance from myself!

Qin Tao finally understood.

Dad, you can just say it, don't be so mysterious.

"Dad, in a few days, Xiaoling and I will go to Qiongzhou for vacation. Let's go together."

"Dad, Xue'er is going too." Qin Xue hugged Qin Tao's neck and shook her: "Okay, okay."

"You're still in school."

"Hmph, it's not fair. You adults can travel everywhere, but we children have to go to school every day. You adults bully children." "Xue'er, when you have your summer vacation, your parents will take you to Shuangsha Island for vacation. Sunshine, The beach, the coconut trees, it’s so beautiful over there.”

"Okay, Dad, this is what you said."

"Of course I said it, let's hook up."

Zhao Ling glanced at Qin Tao and asked you to say you were on vacation. You were obviously going to do important things.

"It's a pity that our own passenger plane hasn't been built yet. Otherwise, it would be nice to take our own passenger plane." Wu Shengli said next to him.

Qin Tao had never thought about building a large aircraft at the beginning, but since the right opportunity came, he started this project. The Huating Aircraft Factory was also very cooperative and willing to accept the leadership of the Mingzhou Group and work with Lao Maozi experts to develop the C919 passenger aircraft. However, If you want to build a passenger aircraft, it will not happen overnight.

"Well, it will definitely be built in the future. By that time, various professional aircraft will also have suitable airframe platforms. Take the early warning aircraft as an example. It is more suitable to modify it with a transport aircraft than to modify it with a passenger aircraft."

Now that our own passenger aircraft project has been launched, we must proceed step by step. Moreover, this project is also of great significance. All kinds of aircraft needed by the army will have suitable platforms.

He was obviously a shipbuilder, but he actually built an airplane in the end. Qin Tao still felt a little complicated when he thought about it.

A few days passed by. Qin Tao and Zhao Ling followed the naval officers to the airport. Looking at the Tu-104 passenger plane in front of them, Qin Tao understood the reason for his father-in-law's emotion.

The Navy's funds are more abundant than before, but there are still many places to use money. After all, it is money to raise troops and sell dumplings. As for the special plane of the Navy leaders, it is still this one that Qin Tao got from Lao Maozi more than ten years ago. I got it at the same time. This passenger aircraft has long been withdrawn from the civil aviation market because the accident rate is too high, but senior navy officials have been flying on it.

Of course, since the most experienced pilots fly this kind of passenger plane, and everyone does not load cargo randomly, there have been no accidents. However, the oldness of this kind of aircraft cannot be concealed.

What to change?

It is not suitable to buy Boeing or Airbus. In addition to spending money, there is also the risk of leaking secrets. After all, if the supplier knows that the customer is the Navy, he will definitely do something wrong. It is better to build it yourself! Therefore, the Navy is somewhat looking forward to the C919 coming out soon.

Even if it is not officially purchased, there will always be prototypes of this kind of passenger aircraft for early test flights. After the test flights are completed, they will be given to the Navy for use, and the Navy will not dislike it.

"Let's go, get on the plane." Wu Shengli greeted Qin Tao.

"Yes." Qin Tao nodded and walked up with Zhao Ling.

There are five rows of seats in the cabin, three rows on one side and two rows on the other side. However, it is never full every time we take off. The seats are very spacious and big people can sit and chat.

"Mr. Qin, when will your C919 come out?" a naval leader said.

"Soon, we will build this kind of aircraft as quickly as possible." Qin Tao said, "However, our domestic Y8 also has a passenger version."

The Yunba has also undergone many improvements, and of course it also has a passenger model. However, civil aviation does not like to use it. The aircraft is backward, has high fuel consumption, and has no economy at all.

"Yunba has stopped operating passenger transport for a long time. Besides, if we take Yunba, we can just take the transport model."

"Well, everyone, just wait patiently. Our C919 will definitely be built. When the time comes, we will send one to the Navy."

"No, no, we can't have it in vain."

"Then lend one to the Navy."

"If we borrow it, we can still consider it. Alas, it's all just talk on paper. Let's talk about what we want to do next."

The passenger plane flew all the way south. When it arrived in Qiongzhou, it was already afternoon. The Qiongzhou No. 052 Shipyard was busy. On the outfitting dock, the scene of many DLs being outfitted together looked particularly spectacular.

"In the past, we never thought that so many warships could be built together." Looking at this spectacular scene, Wu Shengli couldn't help but sigh.

The Eastern Navy has always been weak since its establishment. Even if there were 051 destroyers later, they were built by several shipyards. For example, the first batch of seven 051s were allocated to three shipyards, two of which were each Three ships were built, and another one only built one. However, when comparing several ships together, it was found that the Huating Zhonghua Shipyard, which only built one ship, produced the highest quality, so the second batch of ships was started. At that time, Huating Zhonghua Shipyard was assigned an order for four ships. These four ships were launched into service one or two years apart and were not launched together.

There have never been so many 052DLs built together before!

Although this is not their first time here, they will have new emotions every time they come here.

Factory director Zhao Qiushan ran over from the outfitting dock with three steps and two steps at a time.

"Leaders, why didn't you say hello in advance? We might as well go to the door to greet you."

"What are you waiting for? Isn't it just a waste of time? How is the progress of our outfitting work here?"

"Reporting to all leaders, various weapon systems have been installed and more than 90% of the outfitting work has been carried out. The workers are working overtime to deliver these destroyers to the navy as soon as possible. If the leaders come a month late, they should be able to Catch up with these warships for sea trials together."

The scene of six ships undergoing sea trials together is spectacular enough if you think about it.

"Well, yes, you did a great job. Next, the Navy has more important tasks for you!"

"We have received the news and made preparations. As long as the funds are allocated, we will start work here immediately. If there are not enough manpower, we will mobilize it from the Mingzhou Shipyard." Zhao Qiushan said: "It will definitely not delay the progress of the Navy's project. .”

"Well, that's right. Let's go see the progress of these outfits first, and then go to the conference room to hold a meeting on the construction of a new batch of warships."

"Yes."

The outfitting dock is in the shape of a long strip, with a 052DL parked on each side. However, it is opposite from end to end and is not symmetrical. There is an orange crane on the dock, which is used to lift various equipment to the warship for outfitting use. There is a four- to five-meter-wide passage on each side for vehicles to pass through. In the center of the passages on both sides is a row of three-story buildings.

Some of these small buildings are dormitories and some are warehouses, so that the workers responsible for outfitting can get the parts directly from the warehouse. If they are tired, they can sleep in the dormitories, and the outfitting will be faster.

Everyone just walked along this road to the nearest ship 052DL.

The 052DL is lengthened on the basis of the 052D. It is mainly used to carry Z- carrier-based helicopters. This helicopter has been successfully developed and will become the main helicopter of the navy in the future, supplied to the main destroyers.

The emergence of the Z-Twenty has finally allowed the Navy to reach a world-class level in the field of carrier-based helicopters. This ten-ton helicopter will become the main force of the Navy in the future. At the same time, it also increases the deck area of ​​the 052DL to meet this need. Helicopter takeoff and landing requirements.

If you put the two warships together, you can see that they are the same in the front, but they are longer in the back.

At this time, the crane is hoisting a huge flyswatter radar. This radar antenna is one of the equipment that needs to be hoisted last. After all, after being installed, the space behind will be narrower. When the crane is lifting other equipment, it has to Beware of getting hung up on a fly swatter.

Seeing the busy technicians, Wu Shengli stopped and said, "Let's take a look here. If we get too close, it may delay their outfitting."

The Navy can't wait and just hopes that this kind of warship can be completed quickly and equipped with troops.
