Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

"Report, the hull pouring is complete."

"Prepare to disassemble the formwork." Wang Jianshe ordered.

"receive."

With the assistance of gantry cranes and jib cranes, the formwork was dismantled to reveal the off-white shell.

Unlike the steel texture of metal, the texture of artificial rock is similar to that of stone.

Wang Jianshe's heart was also up and down. It was their first attempt to use this kind of artificial rock to build a boat, and they always had no idea.

Obviously this kind of artificial rock is the same as the artificial rock used for island building in the South China Sea, but the rock-forming agent used in shipbuilding is somewhat different from that used in island building, similar to glass fiber reinforced plastics.

Not only is the strength higher, but the density and hardness are also very suitable.

The strength of general shipbuilding steel is between 300 and 700MPa, while the strength of shipbuilding steel in the United States and Lucia can reach more than 1000MPa, and the strongest in China is only 690MPa.

The strength of special artificial rock can reach 950MPa, and the overall strength of the internal high-strength alloy frame can reach about 1200MPa.

In addition, the toughness and density of the ship are not bad. The density of special artificial rock is only about 71% of that of ship steel, while the toughness can reach about 127% of that of general military ships with the support of alloy frame and keel.

Of course, these data are all simulated and calculated in the simulation space. This is the first time a ship has been built, and it is only known if it is a mule or a horse.

As the templates were removed, more than half of the hull was exposed, and now only the island and the deck have not been poured.

They need to remove the formwork of the internal cabin before pouring the deck and island.

The removal of the outer formwork is relatively simple, but the troublesome thing is the internal cabin. The dismantling work took three days to complete the cleaning of all the formwork.

However, before pouring the deck and island, they still need to do another job, which is to test the tightness of the hull and watertight compartment.

Chapter 187 Various progress

By injecting water into the internal cabins, except for the sealed nuclear power cabin and motor cabin, the other cabins have passed the watertight test, as well as some other structural and stability tests.

Looking at the data fed back from the computer, Wang Jianshe said, "It seems that artificial rock can indeed be used to build ships. If we switch to this material, we can save a lot of steel and processes."

"It is indeed a good material." Zhao Dian is also optimistic about artificial rock.

Domestic ship steel is still so-so in the civilian field, but it seems somewhat insufficient in the military field.

Although domestic materials science has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, there are not many cheap and easy-to-use ship steels.

What's more, domestic iron ore is difficult to be self-sufficient, and excessive dependence on steel materials is not a good thing.

Whether it is Australia or Samba, they are not allies of China. On the contrary, they are still the lackeys of the United States, and they are unreliable at critical moments.

Although there are still a lot of scrap steel reserves in the country, these are strategic reserves and should not be used as much as possible if not necessary.

If artificial rock is used, the seawater of the Pacific Ocean does not need to be afraid of the raw material being stuck.

In fact, the Netherworld is already discussing about it, and is preparing to promote the application of artificial rocks in coastal areas.

For example, promoting the application of artificial rock in wave breakage dams, piers, lighthouses, artificial islands, sea-crossing bridges, shipbuilding, etc., can effectively reduce the consumption of steel and cement.

In fact, during the manufacturing process of artificial rock, there is another by-product, which is fresh water.

At present, there is already a rock-forming agent for seawater desalination. This version of the rock-forming agent has developed a total of six special versions, which are specifically aimed at the six main compounds in seawater, including sodium chloride.

In the future, the water after chemical desalination can be directly used for agriculture, industry, and domestic use.

However, the cost of the three rock-forming agents is still very high at present, and large-scale application can only be carried out after the production cost comes down.

……

The test results were roughly the same as expected, so Wang Jianshe directed the workers to continue building the templates for the deck and island.

This work is very similar to building a house. It is all about binding and welding the frames, then assembling the formwork and pouring the structure.

It was the first time to experiment with this kind of shipbuilding method, and they could only adjust it while building it by themselves.

However, this speed is already very fast. In January this year, Zhao Dian and his team started the design, completed the first draft of the design in June, and entered the module prefabrication in July.

At the beginning of September, all prefabricated modules were completed and transported to Dalian Shipyard one after another, entering the assembly stage.

Then the pouring of the hull will be completed this month, and the next step is to enter the dock outfitting stage, such as interior decoration, electrification equipment installation, and weapon module installation.

It is estimated that the construction can be completed by the end of the year and enter the sea trial stage.

Among these processes, because it is the first construction, none of them has reached the maximum speed. Once the technology is verified and completed, it is estimated that the construction period can be compressed to about 4 months.

If the modules and equipment are in reserve, it can be compressed to about 40 days at the earliest.

You know, this is a nuclear-powered battleship with a total displacement of 16.7 tons, and this speed is so fast that it is very scary.

Looking at the domestically-made aircraft carrier on the dock, you can know the speed on both sides.

……

at the same time.

Factory No. 003 (Neutrino Special Equipment Manufacturing Plant) deep in the Qinling Mountains, and Factory No. 001 (Gamma Ray Special Equipment Manufacturing Factory) in Jiuquan City are mass producing these special equipment.

As for Factory No. 002, it is Lingnan Nuclear Engineering.

At present, two models of neutrino emitters have been developed, namely Silence-1 and Silence-2.Silence-1 is a land-based model, and Silence-2 is a sea-based model.

Among them, Silence-1 has produced 53 units, and generally a neutrino launch station needs to be equipped with 8 to 16 units.

Just in case, plus a spare part, generally a neutrino launch station needs to be equipped with at least 12 Silence-1s.

The sea-based model Silence-2 is a model specially developed for battleships, and its shielding range is only about 500 kilometers in radius.

Six Silent-6s have been produced so far.

As for the No. 001 factory in Jiuquan City, judging from the serial number, this factory was established earlier than the No. 002 factory of Lingnan Nuclear Engineering, and it was specially established for the construction of gamma-ray lasers.

There are three types of gamma-ray lasers: Phoenix-1 (land-based), Phoenix-2 (space-based), and Phoenix-3 (sea-based).

Among them, the Phoenix-1 has entered mass production, but there is no large-scale equipment.

For Phoenix-2, due to the insufficient payload of the launch vehicle, it was difficult to transport the nuclear fusion reactor, resulting in the lack of sufficient energy supply system, and only 3 prototypes were produced for the time being as experimental tests.

The Phoenix-3 is a sea-based carrier model modified from the Phoenix-1.

Currently the most powerful is the Phoenix-1, which can directly kill organisms and electronic components within 810 kilometers, and the maximum killing area can reach a radius of 34 kilometers.

However, the power of Phoenix-3 can kill within 270 kilometers, and the maximum killing area is 12 kilometers in radius.
