Great warships

Chapter 414 The Big Dipper's Sky

The north wind was whistling, and when it blew over the eaves, there was a whining sound, which even made people who lived alone feel scared, just like the opening scene of Liaozhai.

However, in the small courtyard near the Huilou, it was very lively.

Zhao Xiu'e is still taking care of Zhao Ling's children in Huating. Although she has a nanny, she still can't rest assured. Therefore, Wu Shengli is left alone in the family.

However, in the living room at this time, there were five or six people drinking and drinking.

Most of them were old people with gray hair, but Qin Tao, a young man, was mixed among them, looking very different.

"Mr. Qin, the people who have been working on nuclear submarines for half our lives are all in complicated moods when you take this project out!" Mr. Huang looked at Qin Tao with radiant eyes: "We can't jump out of the original frame, you just It’s different, young people, energetic and driven, can always come up with subversive things.”

"Seniors, I thought you would say that I am launching satellites." Qin Tao said shyly, "At present, all these technologies need to be researched and developed. We are like castles in the sky."

"If our navy only has such a project, then we absolutely cannot support it, and we must be safe. However, we already have the 093 project, so we must have a more radical project to cooperate. Your 095 project is very suitable for us. needs." Mr. Peng said.

In fact, this was also Qin Tao's plan.

Originally, when the project was just taken over, Qin Tao was not so bold. However, as the project continued, Qin Tao felt more and more clearly that he had to find a suitable position for the project in order to be able to win the position of the superior. recognition.

So, is it safe to use existing technology, or is it bold to make a leap forward?

The former is not acceptable, because it overlaps with the 093 project, so he needs to engage in this more advanced nuclear submarine project, so as to meet the needs.

"You Mingzhou Group can always come up with advanced things, which refreshes our navy. If you come up with a conventional project, then I will look down on you." Wu Shengli said.

"Dad, don't run on me. It's useless to say that these are useless. In the future, we must guarantee the funds for our project, and urge all brothers and units to get out what should be done quickly. If you need to use 093 funds, then use 093." .”

Qin Tao also let go.

"Boss Qin, what is the use of this vertical launch tube?" Everyone was engaged in nuclear submarines, so after a few words, the topic began to turn to technology again.

"I've said it many times." Qin Tao said: "Those who launch all kinds of missiles, whether it is anti-ship or land attack, must have skills. Although I don't know the development of relevant domestic institutions, I also know It must be reserved, and in the future, anti-ship ballistic missiles will have to be installed."

"I'm afraid it won't fit. Our ballistic missiles are not small."

The big guys are also engaged in ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Of course, they know the size of this missile. Qin Tao wants to install it, but it is not so easy.

"The important thing about anti-ship ballistic missiles is the warhead, and the missile body at the back, it's a big deal to shrink it. We don't need to hit three to five thousand kilometers, or even tens of thousands of kilometers. We only need to be able to hit one thousand kilometers. It needs to be that big. What are you doing?" Qin Tao retorted: "Anyway, we can only reserve such a large space now. If we want to build a bigger one in the future, we need the development of our domestic basic industry to come up with more advanced plate rolling machines for us. .”

The set currently owned by Mingzhou Group can process a pressure shell with a diameter of eight or nine meters at most. If you want a larger diameter, you must have a more advanced plate rolling machine.

This cannot be done by foreign countries, because foreign countries will definitely not export it to their own side, and they can only solve it by themselves.

"The 095 nuclear submarine we are currently designing has a diameter of more than 12 meters, but because of the double-hull structure, a lot of equipment is stuffed outside, and the diameter inside is only eight or nine meters. This is already our existing coil. It is the limit of the machine. It is almost used as an attack nuclear submarine, but if it is used as a ballistic missile nuclear submarine, the diameter is far from meeting the requirements. I think that the diameter of the pressure hull of the 095 ballistic missile nuclear submarine after our 096 attack nuclear submarine must be at least If it reaches 12 meters or more, it will be even better if it can reach 16 meters."

"16 meters? A nuclear submarine with such a diameter has a displacement of not more than [-] to [-] tons?" Mr. Zhao said, "This is the same as the Typhoon class."

"Well, at that time, our two reactors will be enough. This kind of displacement and this diameter can ensure that there is no turtle back. When we drive out in the future, we will scare the opponent to death."

Although the typhoon class has a high displacement, the diameter of the internal pressure shell is not large, resulting in a waste of structure. Of course, if you want to build it, it must be a big one.

"Okay, stop talking, you will release satellites." Wu Shengli said.

"Speak out, let everyone look forward to it, if you don't even dare to think about it, how can it be realized?"

"That's right, Taozi is right!"

Everyone is looking forward to it.

"Taozi, you talk about the aircraft carrier all day long. When will our aircraft carrier come out?"

"That's right, what kind of advanced nuclear submarine we build is also to escort the aircraft carrier. This aircraft carrier is the most anticipated."

"As long as the Navy allocates funds, our Mingzhou Shipyard will build it in minutes."

"boast."

Qin Tao is really bragging. Even if the funds are sufficient, it is impossible for the Mingzhou Shipyard to build an aircraft carrier in minutes. However, at the wine table, you must not admit cowardice.

"I heard that Ah San has given up on the Varyag and continued to invest in the Novorossiysk," Wu Shengli said.

Many people are looking forward to the Varyag, even if the old people sitting here are engaged in submarines, they still care about this matter.

"Hmph, Ermao wants to sell the Varyag for a sky-high price, it's simply fantastic." Qin Tao said: "Ah San is stupid enough, this time I'm going to turn around, I guess I have to increase the budget. "

"Yeah, Da Mao asked for an increase in the budget, otherwise the construction would not be completed. It is really dark enough to ask for [-] million US dollars in one go." Wu Shengli said.

Qin Tao had a smile on his face, [-] million is nothing, this is just the beginning, and there is still a lot of extra investment waiting for Ah San in the future.

"So, can we find a way to buy this warship back?"

All eyes were on Qin Tao.

Qin Tao shook his head: "No, we have to wait. It may be possible next year."

Qin Tao is also very anxious, but he knows that this kind of thing can't be rushed, and it can't be over until Er Mao completely gives up.

Anyway, it is useless to buy an aircraft carrier now. Before the supporting escort force is established, the aircraft carrier formation cannot be built.

This can be seen from Lao Maozi. After the collapse of the Red Empire, Lao Maozi never built an aircraft carrier again, but they can continue to build nuclear submarines.Although there is an old man who attaches great importance to nuclear submarines, on the other hand, nuclear submarines only need a single submarine to complete their missions. They are lonely fighters in the ocean. Whether they are attacking nuclear submarines or missile nuclear submarines, they have always been alone. action.

Although supporting projects are also needed, there are not many needed, for example, satellite communication, and navigation and positioning...

Thinking of this, Qin Tao suddenly thought of something: "How is our domestic satellite navigation project going?"

In the past, Qin Tao once proposed the satellite navigation project. During the war in 91, the large-scale use of precision-guided bombs made people realize the importance of the satellite navigation system. Last year, the Xingchen sailed at sea In the process, they were brutally treated and their satellite navigation failed.

As for nuclear submarines, they mainly rely on inertial navigation underwater. However, after a period of time, the error of inertial navigation becomes larger and larger, and they also need to float up to the depth of the periscope, and use other means to accurately locate and correct the error.

"Our domestic independent navigation satellite project has been approved this year, and the work is currently in progress." Wu Shengli said: "This project is in charge of the grandson of our aerospace system. If you have ideas, I can bring them to you." You go and see."

In the past year, Qin Tao rarely came to the capital, and stayed at Huating most of the time. Now that he has come to the capital, he can't just leave after reporting, he can do more things.

Hearing Wu Shengli's words, Qin Tao nodded: "Well, it is my honor to meet Mr. Sun."

Shipbuilding and aerospace seem to be incompatible, but in fact, they are very closely related.

Satellite navigation system, is one of them.

The era of human exploration into space began in the 50s. On October 57, 10, the Red Empire successfully launched the first artificial satellite "Sput-4" in human history, realizing the dream of human beings to fly into the universe.

The Americans were very sad. They worked hard and forgot to eat and sleep, and finally sent the "Explorer One" satellite into space on February 58, 2. In that year, the motherland also made a decision: "We also want to build artificial satellites. ".

On April 70, 4, the "one satellite" of the "two bombs and one satellite" finally ushered in the successful launch, and Dongfanghong's music resounded through space.

The space industry of the motherland also began from this point.

In 78, the United States began to implement the GPS program, and scientists in the motherland also discovered the huge changes brought about by this technology. However, the motherland is weak in technology after all, and it is impossible to implement a global positioning system like the United States.

Therefore, at that time, Mr. Chen proposed a dual-satellite positioning solution according to local conditions, and successfully demonstrated it in 8*9 years, realizing the integration of rapid positioning, communication and timing of ground targets using two satellites.

However, at that time, there was no money and no experience, so this project was temporarily put on hold until the war in 91, which woke up many people. They must take the road of high technology, and they will be beaten if they fall behind!

It took another few years to demonstrate, and just this year, the satellite navigation project was finally launched.

Qin Tao, a shipbuilder, also needs a satellite navigation system. He also knows how flawed the American system is, so since he has this opportunity, of course he wants to take a look.

The relationship between Mingzhou Group and the Academy of Aerospace Sciences is also very close. After all, those missiles are all developed by the Academy of Aerospace Sciences. However, this is the first time Qin Tao has come into contact with this satellite navigation project.

The person in charge of this project is Mr. Sun. He is the father of the "two bombs and one satellite" and the person in charge of the overall design of the "Dongfanghong-[-]" satellite. In later generations, he not only led the team to complete the construction of the Beidou navigation satellite, but also Became the chief technical officer of the Lunar Exploration Project.

When Wu Shengli brought Qin Tao to the relevant units, Qin Tao was surprised to see the working environment of these people.

This is a warehouse. It should be the kind of warehouse that belongs to the rocket storage workshop. It has a very large area, but there is no ventilation!
Countless scientific and technological workers work in such a difficult environment. They keep exhaling white gas from their mouths, and they slap their hands a few times to make their hands no longer stiff, and then continue to work.

There are not many computers, and many people still use drawing paper.

"Old Sun, what's going on? Where's your heating?" Even Wu Shengli was surprised.

"The boiler in our aerospace institute is broken, and we are still waiting for the approval of maintenance funds. Our office is even colder, and the workshop here is closed anyway, so we temporarily put the working place here."

Although there is central heating in this era, there is no such thing as central heating for the whole city, and each unit burns its own boiler.

"How much will the repair cost?"

"20."

"You take it from the project funds first, you can't be frozen like this." Wu Shengli was a little speechless.

"How can it work? The project funds are not much, and we can't embezzle them. This is a matter of principle. The freezing point is not terrible. When we first started to develop two bombs and one satellite, the conditions were much more difficult than this!"

"The 20 yuan was donated by our group." At this moment, the young man next to Wu Shengli said: "In addition, we will provide another [-] computers to help you update your office equipment."

what?
Now, everyone who was concentrating on their work turned their eyes over.

Who is so rich and powerful?
The 20 for boiler maintenance is still a trivial matter. Computers in this era cost 100 to [-], and those that can make them use them smoothly cost [-] to [-]. In this way, the other party will provide [-] million in sponsorship?

"Old Wu, who is this?" Elder Sun looked at Qin Tao very curiously. At first he thought that Qin Tao was the secretary next to Wu Shengli, but who would have thought that he would be so generous!
"Mr. Qin of our Mingzhou Group has been meeting in the capital for the past few days. He heard that our Beidou project has been launched. He is very enthusiastic. Come and have a look." Wu Shengli introduced.

"President Qin?"

No wonder so generous.

Now, speaking of domestic private enterprises, Mingzhou Group can definitely rank first!This group started from a bankrupt shipyard, and now it has become a first-class multinational giant!

100 million, for them, is definitely a child's play.

"Mr. Qin, on behalf of all the R&D personnel of our Beidou project, I would like to thank you for your generous support. However, we will not be rewarded for nothing, so we cannot accept your kindness." Sun Lao said.

Don't give money!
Qin Tao knows that the older generation of scientific researchers have this kind of arrogance. After all, if they accept other people's things, they may have to help others in the future. In this way, they will not be able to stand up.For sugar-coated cannonballs, they can stick to their principles.

Wu Shengli smiled and looked at Qin Tao. He didn't speak, but just watched Qin Tao solve it.

"Mr. Sun, of course these are not provided for free, I also have a request."

"any request?"

"When the project is developed, it will definitely require a large number of ground receiving terminals, and there will be a demand for chips in it. I hope to be authorized to produce these chips."

Produce chips?

Elder Sun looked at Qin Tao curiously: "Boss Qin, aren't you a shipbuilder?"

"Yes, we are shipbuilding talents, but our group is developing in a diversified direction. We are currently investing in a new chip factory with a 0.35-micron process. In addition to producing memory sticks, we will also produce other chips. Also includes satellite navigation chips."

(Speaking of Beidou, there are always people complaining that Beidou navigation is not easy to use! There is also a fee! These are actually Li Kui and Li Gui. The Beidou navigation system has nothing to do with our Beidou satellite. We are using Baidu, using When using AutoNavi to navigate, Beidou navigation signals are also used, and slightly high-end mobile phones will have built-in Beidou receiver modules, so there is no need to buy Beidou navigation to support Beidou.)
Produce chips!

This is not asking for help, this is clearly here to give a big gift!
You must know that the most advanced technology in China has not crossed the gap of 1 micron. The chip factory of Mingzhou Group can actually produce 0.35 micron chips!
Needless to say, the receiving terminal on the ground, even the chips on the satellite can be handed over to them for production!The more advanced the technology of the chip, the smaller the size and the lower the heat generation.

"President Qin, thank you for your support." Elder Sun said: "We build satellites and you build ships. It seems that it has nothing to do with it. Why do you help us like this?"

Mr. Sun was always curious.

Qin Tao was a little unhappy: "Mr. Sun, you are wrong to say that. You build navigation satellites not to serve a certain department, but to serve the people of our country and even the whole world!"

"Needless to say that we build ships, but also metallurgy, electricity, petroleum, exploration, and even ordinary people's travel, which one does not need navigation?" Qin Tao said: "Why has nothing to do with us? The project you are doing now is to benefit thousands of families. Wanhu's project!"

Qin Tao spoke in a bad tone, but the meaning in the words moved many people, and even some people's eyes began to moisten.

The navigation satellite project is of great significance and the investment is huge. Therefore, although the project has been launched, there are still voices of controversy. Now, they have received affirmation from Qin Tao. This is a kind of belief and a kind of support!

"President Qin, some people say that the US GPS project is enough, and our Beidou navigation is a redundant construction." Sun Lao said, "What do you think?"

"Those who say that have shit in their heads." Qin Tao's words were very indecent, but they were very useful to everyone's ears. This was their affirmation.

"In peacetime, it is true that GPS is enough, and there is no problem in the civilian field. However, if our army relies on GPS, it will suffer a big loss. In the Xingchen incident last year, the other party turned off the signal, causing Our ship lost its course at sea, no matter how good the GPS is, it always belongs to foreigners, and our Beidou navigation, no matter how bad it is, is our own!”

"That's right, Mr. Qin is right. Your words are an affirmation of our work. We thank you." Beside Sun Lao, Fan Lao said with emotion, he is also the leader of this project.

"Our Mingzhou Group is also manufacturing warships. We can install cheap and easy-to-use GPS terminals in warships for export, but our own warships must have our own Beidou navigation system!" Qin Qin Tao said: "Also, even if we have the opportunity to cooperate with foreigners after we arrive, we must insist on our own system. No matter how good other people's things are, they belong to others. When we cooperate, we are only the ones who pay. It is impossible to obtain core technology.”

Although Qin Tao is a shipbuilder, he still knows a lot about the development of the Beidou system.

The country is blank in this area, and the technology is not high. The independently developed Beidou-[-] is just a regional navigation system, and the accuracy is not high. Therefore, when Europe started to develop the Galileo system, China was very excited and immediately Hurry up to participate.

However, Europeans only welcome Chinese funds, but they strictly block core technologies and always exclude China.

So, after a few years, everyone will understand, let's do it ourselves!
Therefore, everyone held back their energy and continued to work hard to establish the Beidou-2020 navigation system. In [-], a global satellite navigation system was finally built.At this point in development, it is no worse than foreign technologies, and all of them are [-]% their own technologies, and they will not be controlled by others when they are used.

Whether it is the army or the civilians, they all need independent navigation satellites!And in the future, with the continuous expansion of the number of terminals, the required chips will also be very large, so Qin Tao is really not just paying, and there will be rich returns in the future.

It can be said that it is a win-win situation.

"Okay, Mr. Qin, we can sign an agreement, and you will produce the chips we need." Elder Sun nodded in agreement.

"Well, it should take a long time to go through the process. Let's send the money and the computer first, and hope you can have a better working environment." Qin Tao said: "Now... Hey, this is the model of our Beidou navigation satellite ?"

Qin Tao looked at a model on the table beside him, which was made of cardboard, toothpicks, and several medicine boxes, and asked excitedly.

"Yes, this is our satellite model, which is incomparable with your Mingzhou Group's model."

"No, although it is simple, it has entrusted our brilliant dreams. I believe that our project will have a bright future. It is a pity that this project does not allow private capital to participate, otherwise, I can provide more Fund support." Qin Tao felt a little regretful.

I can't help with these things, but he is definitely a good hand in promoting the use, and he has to quickly register all the names of Beidou Navigation to prevent Li Gui from appearing.

　I found that many people are very dissatisfied with the randomness of the nuclear power plant. Let me explain to you. In my vision, it is to directly transplant the reactor of the nuclear submarine, including the cooling system, so we don’t need a big chimney, just use the cooler directly, and we don’t have to be afraid of earthquakes. something, it's a whole.It can be imagined as moving the reactor compartment directly there.Everything is in accordance with nuclear submarine standards. After all, we are just to verify the subsystems of nuclear submarines, and power generation is incidental.
