Great warships

Chapter 737
Why is there a backward meter wave radar on the most advanced destroyer in the East?

So far, no one knows why. After all, the fact that Meebo radar can detect stealth aircraft is still a secret. Under the bragging of the Americans, the stealth aircraft is very powerful and makes others look up to it. It exists, and it can appear anywhere as a ghost in the sky. Of course, it would be even better if the Easterners did not have a stealth machine.

Now, in the cognition of the outside world, the stealth machine is the most powerful and omnipotent existence, and no radar can detect it.

Eastern warships use backward meter-wave radars, most likely just to save money. Compared with 052C, the 052B, which is a long-range early warning phased array radar poked in a circle, looks more in line with European aesthetics.

Now, if this brand-new radar is given a new number, it will make people wonder. Why are the Orientals sparing no effort to develop the meter wave radar?Once they start to doubt, they can find a lot of clues. It is better to give them an illusion: Although it has changed from a clothes rack to a fly swatter, it is still an old radar, just a simple upgrade.

Therefore, it would be more suitable to use the number 517C.

Qin Tao's simple proposal also had a profound purpose. At this time, upon hearing Qin Tao's words, Zhao Ling's eyes were full of admiration. This is his own man, who single-handedly promoted the rapid development of the domestic military industry. man!

"Next, should we talk about our power system?" Wu Shengli said.

The electronic equipment has been finished, so there is no need to talk about other small aspects. The displacement of this warship can be expanded entirely because of the stronger power of the power system. Therefore, we can continue to talk about the most important power system.

"No, we haven't reached the back yet, shall we continue to look at the bridge?"

"What's in the bridge?" Wu Shengli asked curiously.

"Our latest ZKJ-5B combat system." Qin Tao said, "Don't you leaders want to hear about the combat system?"

From the earliest open-air shed to the later closed bridge, not only the appearance has become more beautiful, but more importantly, it accommodates a professional combat command system. The original ZKJ-3 was very simple, and the later ZKJ-4 has already Quite good, when the 052C was developed, the ZKJ-5 combat command system was also developed. This system has more powerful performance and can effectively coordinate various weapons and equipment on the warship.

However, on the road of pursuing the modernization of warship command, relevant domestic institutions will not stop. The latest modification, that is, ZKJ-5, is also constantly improving, and has now been upgraded to Type B.

"Yes, the combat command system is also very important. Has our relevant domestic organization developed a more advanced model? Then report it to us." Wu Shengli said.

Experts from Institute 709 went up.

"Leaders, our institute has been developing a combat command system. During the development process, we have also absorbed a large amount of current advanced commercial product achievements." The expert said: "Now, let everyone take a look at our new generation of open display systems." AA."

When the ZKJ-5 combat command system was developed, advanced display consoles were developed in China. However, the previous display consoles were all placed vertically. The personnel can see more clearly, and the third display console is generally inclined downward, just like the plaque on the door of the old building before. Then, the operators sit side by side in front, each staring at these displays, although the display It's tall, but it looks like it always gives people a rustic feeling.

Of course, there are also advantages. With this arrangement, the operator will definitely not suffer from cervical spondylosis, because the operator has to raise his head frequently.

Now, the layout of the display device of the new generation of combat command system has changed to a horizontal arrangement. On an advanced display console made of composite materials, three displays are placed horizontally, forming an arc, allowing the operator to Humans are better equipped to see the screen, as programmers are equipped for generations to come.

Following the expert's introduction, the appearance of a display console appeared on the screen. The brand-new horizontal triple screen, coupled with special lighting rendering, looked more compelling than usual.

"This kind of control panel looks good, but in this way, it occupies a lot of area. Our bridge is very precious, can we put so many control panels?"

"Our modified combat command system has a higher degree of automation, so the required operators will be smaller. Only four such open display consoles are enough in the bridge, plus four hoisted A large-sized display and an electronic sand table can provide sufficient battlefield command and operation capabilities," said the expert.

Technology is constantly being upgraded, and the number of operators required will become smaller and smaller. The use of related software can make commanding easier.

"Needless to say that someone supervises, even if there is no one under control, normal combat readiness can be carried out, and even when needed, missiles can be launched to intercept." Qin Tao said: "At present, this system is already at the leading level in the world. .”

Many military products require unattended operation. For example, the Patriot missile system, even if no one is watching, can do what it should. However, these are not very mature. Simply put, they do not have enough computing power. Computers, all for nothing.

"So powerful?" The leaders of the navy were very surprised: "Could it be the latest Godson processor?"

"That's right, it was developed based on our Godson-[-]. The computing speed of this processor has reached the GHZ level, and its performance is more advanced. Including these display consoles, they are all products on commercial shelves. One of our efforts at standardization."

"standardization?"

"That's right, the main equipment of the navy in the future will use this kind of open display console. Aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates, and even our electromagnetic guns in the future will use this kind of console."

"Can a commercial architecture satisfy our military use?"

"Of course, these are in line with military standards. Specifically, they can be used at 90.00 to 1920 degrees Celsius and 1200% humidity. Their display screens currently have a resolution of 6*1. Each display screen , all support splitting into four screens and inputting four video streams, each display console has six [-]G optical fiber interfaces, and the data bus on our warship will also undergo a brand new upgrade."

Everyone was stunned.

These data indicators are quite high, especially, the network transmission speed has risen to the G level!It was unthinkable before.

"Such a high network speed and video data stream, what is this for? Does our bridge Shanghai need to watch these videos?" Some leaders were puzzled.

Various data are displayed on the display console, such as targets in the sky and underwater. This kind of data does not require video streams.

"The video stream is used to receive the video of the drone." These can only be explained by Qin Tao. After all, although this improved combat command system was developed by 709, the idea is provided by Qin Tao. How to use it, of course Qin Tao knows best.

"The future era will be an era in which drones will show their abilities. Even destroyers will be equipped with drones. Of course, our display consoles must have the ability to display images taken by drones. If the network If the bandwidth is not enough, then the video cannot be displayed, or the picture will be blurry, do you need to upgrade it again?"

Everyone nodded. Now, Mingzhou Group is vigorously developing drones, and everyone can see that the future era may really be the era of drones.

"Moreover, we will also lead a trend. After our brand-new display console is decrypted, other countries will definitely learn from us, including the United States." Qin Tao said: "We are the strongest in designing warships."

This advanced combat command system has been greatly improved in terms of ergonomics, capacity, precision, operating speed, and modularization. It is the most advanced combat command system in the navy. It has a higher degree of automation and looks taller. So, it will definitely become a trend.

After the American Aegis system was upgraded, it also used this kind of display console, but it was already after 2010. Now that our side has taken it out, it must be ahead of the entire era. I don’t know how many people will follow. study.

"That's right, Mingzhou Group's design capabilities are advanced, and our navy is very satisfied with this brand new display console." The leader on the rostrum said.

That's the end of the battle command system. Next, it's the next turn, right?
Of course not yet!
"Leaders, due to the advanced performance of our warships, the number of staff will be further reduced, so that there will be enough space on the warships for the crew to use. There are currently two options. Leaders, please make a decision for us."

"When our frigate went to sea, the deck had to be full of food. I was an ordinary sailor at the time, and I liked to go secretly to get potatoes, find a place where no one was around, and bake them. Now the space inside our warship is spacious enough. It’s really great, and it can make our President Qin make troubles, which is really great progress.” A leader said with emotion: “Boss Qin, if you have any difficulties, just say it. Let’s open our eyes.”

This is really eye-opening.

"One way is to divide the cabin into small rooms, so that the soldiers can be provided with four-person rooms, or even two-person rooms. Let the soldiers have enough private space." Qin Tao said.

"No, this is not good. If we live separately, the soldiers in the same squad will not be able to communicate, and the squad leader will not be able to manage it." This plan was directly rejected by the leaders: "We soldiers defend our homes and the country, It’s not for the pursuit of enjoyment, you don’t need to live separately, officers have independent places for better rest and work, ordinary sailors, it’s good enough to live in ten or even 12-person rooms.”

The barracks of the army are also large rooms. Once the lights are blown, whoever dares to speak up will be criticized for being disobedient?Run a full-armed ten-kilometer off-road!

"If this is the case, then our living area will have a lot of space. We can separate some of the cabins as our entertainment room, gym, laundry room and other special cabins. In the entertainment room, we have books and a chess board. , there is also a computer that can be connected to the Internet, reading books, playing chess and surfing the Internet, so that you will not be bored in your spare time. In the fitness room, you can install fitness equipment such as dumbbells, horizontal bars, treadmills, etc., so that the soldiers have a place to vent their excess energy. The laundry room, of course It is for the soldiers to do laundry, and the washing machine is directly equipped with a drying function, so that the soldiers don’t need to get dirty at sea. We can even install a few self-service machines to sell various snacks and drinks.”

"Our warships are used for war and are war machines. If the soldiers are too comfortable, will it be counterproductive?" A leader has concerns.

"No, based on the century-old experience of Western naval construction, this is very necessary." Qin Tao shook his head: "A warship is the home of soldiers. After a long life at sea, soldiers will be under great pressure. It is a war, and their pressure will be even greater. Now, we provide them with a good rest space, so that they can have some entertainment and relaxation, which is an effective way to relieve stress. This can improve the combat effectiveness of our navy. The times are developing , society is progressing, and it is time for us to change our thinking.”

"It's also good for the soldiers to relax. Life at sea is too boring. It would be great if everyone could have something to do in their spare time." Another leader expressed support: "But , I have to make some comments. I think we can set up a few study rooms where soldiers can study and improve their professional skills. Our army must become a professional army. The ordinary soldiers recruited , You can also enter the military academy and become a non-commissioned officer through study."

Everyone can see that the era of naval violence is coming. Next, naval ships will be launched one after another. In terms of construction, money is enough. However, to be proficient in operating warships, you must train Lots of professionals too.

The non-commissioned officers who come out of the military academy are fine, but the number is small. Ordinary soldiers have no chance to be promoted. If they can continue to study on the warship and be admitted to the military academy, it will be different. These people already have experience. Military academy Coming out will be more qualified for the work on the warship.

"Old Wang's opinion is good." Wu Shengli nodded: "That's it! Mr. Qin, do you have any suggestions about life?"

"Also, design a special living area for female soldiers." Qin Tao suddenly thought of something, and decided to play a little more on the spot here.

female soldier?

Many eyes widened.

"Leaders, as the saying goes, men and women are matched, and work is not tiring. Warships are not only a stage for men, women also have a role to play." Qin Tao said: "On a warship, the appearance of some female soldiers is also very important. It can allow soldiers to perform better and be more motivated. Moreover, in terms of communications, electronics, missiles, drones, medical care, hygiene, etc., female soldiers also have advantages."

In 2012, the navy officially recruited female soldiers to board the ship. Since then, there have been female overlords at sea. Ten years later, these female sailors have grown up, and some have even taken up leadership positions.However, if there are women on the navy's warships, that time is even earlier.

In the early 90s, female students in naval academies had sailing internships with warships.After the pirates raged, the naval escort formation was dispatched, followed by female soldiers. The appearance of these female soldiers was a beautiful sight.

However, these female soldiers are just passing by on the warship, not in the establishment.

In fact, earlier, there were also women on the ship, and Zhao Ling was one of them. When the Hongqi-61 was tested, Zhao Ling got on the warship and worked with her on it.

Because when the warship was designed, it was not intended to carry female crew members, so the lives of female soldiers would be very inconvenient. For example, the accommodation of female soldiers, if there is no officer to vacate their own room, it is almost impossible to find a place where they can live alone The female soldiers have to temporarily occupy the men's bathroom when they go to the toilet. If they want to take a bath... this is waived. In the previous conditions of the warship, if you want to take a bath, you have to wait for it to rain and go to the deck to wash.God has to take care of it, don't just put soap on it, and the rain will stop.

We didn't have that condition before, but now we finally have it. With seven to eight thousand tons of warships, one-water automation equipment, and a lot of space for members, it is also possible to set up a cabin for female soldiers and prohibit male soldiers from entering.

"That's right, that's a good proposal!" Zhao Ling said. After she finished speaking, she felt that what she said was inappropriate. After all, her current identity is not from the Navy, but from the Mingzhou Group. , I am boasting myself.

The leaders present were still in shock, Qin Tao looked at Zhao Ling, smiled, and continued: "We can see that there are more and more female sailors on the stage of navies around the world, needless to say There are also female soldiers on surface ships and even underwater submarines, and they use their own actions to prove the equality of men and women. Of course, the automation of weapons is getting higher and higher, which is also a prerequisite for warships to recruit female soldiers."

Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, Qin Tao went on to say: "The living area we want to reserve for female soldiers must not only have a spacious cabin, but also have a leisure activity area. This area is similar to a living room. There can be sofas, Large-screen LCD TV, um, there is also a place for learning. Here, female soldiers can relax, pass the boredom at sea, and communicate with each other. By the way, there must be an IG refrigerator in this activity area, which can store all kinds of fresh fruits. Female soldiers If you want to put on a mask, you can do it."

Zhao Ling laughed. Her husband, who understands women's needs very well, actually prepared a special mask area for female soldiers?Aren't you afraid that those old antiques above will go crazy?
"There are still bunk beds in the accommodation area, but there must be a special full-length mirror, which must be twice the size of the male cabin, so that female soldiers can tidy up their appearance. To store large suitcases, there must be a special small table that can be used to Going about the day-to-day business…”

"Boss Qin, you are going to confess to the female soldiers." A leader said: "Since you have become a soldier, you must forget your gender and only think about the army and the country in your heart!"

"No, even if you become a soldier, you are still a woman first." Zhao Ling said: "Uncle Wang, you don't understand female soldiers. These are the basic needs of female soldiers. Such a special cabin for female soldiers will make female soldiers Soldiers have a higher sense of happiness and are more enthusiastic at work."

Wu Shengli glanced at Zhao Ling: "Secretary Zhao, you came up with the plan for the female soldier cabin?"

Zhao Ling shook her head: "No, this is the first time I've heard of it, but you can ask the leaders to investigate to see if the female soldiers want to join the ship, and if so, what kind of conditions do you want to provide? I think, President Qin’s design is very good, we can also look at the navies of other countries in the world to see how they do it.”

Wu Shengli nodded: "President Qin's proposal is reserved for the time being. We need to investigate it. If we think it is reasonable, we will follow President Qin's plan. Anyway, this modified warship is still in the demonstration stage, and there is no need to start construction immediately."

The others also nodded.

The boarding of female soldiers is a big event, but it cannot be decided by Qin Tao in a few words, they have to conduct research in the whole army.

"Leaders, don't say it's my suggestion during the investigation."

"What?"

"In this way, they will all worship me. I still have to keep a low profile."

Zhao Ling pinched Qin Tao in private. You are already in your 30s, yet you still say such things?
"Okay, then let's say it was suggested by President Qin." A leader joked, but turned his head to see Wu Shengli's gaze, and swallowed the rest of the words back: "Next, should we talk about motivation? system?"

According to the order from front to back, after finishing all these, it is time to talk about the power system, right?
"Okay, let's talk about the power first. After talking about the power, let's talk about the helicopter." Qin Tao nodded: "Wen Gong, it's your turn!"

The domestic shipboard gas turbine professional research and development institution is the 703 Institute. At the beginning, Qin Tao obtained the gas turbine technology from Lao Maozi and handed it over to them. With the technical support of a large number of Lao Maozi experts, they quickly completed it. The imitation of the UGT-15000 gas turbine has since allowed the Navy's warships to have qualified marine gas turbines. Now, they have made persistent efforts and have a 26.7 megawatt GT-25000 gas turbine.

It is precisely because of this gas turbine that the Navy's warships can be upgraded and improved. However, there are not many things worth reporting about this gas turbine, and it is at the end of the warship, so of course it will be introduced later in order.

"Leaders, we have completed all the tests of the GT-25000 gas turbine, and it can be installed on the ship at any time." Wen Xueyou walked up and began to introduce: "Compared with the prototype, its biggest feature is the increased output power. 20 megawatts increased to 26.7 megawatts. It is precisely because of this level of gas turbines that we have achieved the ability to enlarge the displacement of destroyers to seven or eight thousand tons. However, in addition to power improvements, we have also improved other aspects A lot of improvements have been made."
