Military Heavy

Chapter 237
Everyone looked at Huang Keping.

The conference room suddenly became extremely quiet!

Everyone is waiting for the answer to be revealed. Which unit will be assigned the design and development task of the future vertical missile launcher?

Huang Keping looked around the entire meeting, saw everyone looking at him, smiled slightly, and said in a loud voice: "The research and development task of the missile vertical launching device is handed over to the East China Sea Ship Design Institute, the design unit of the 052 ship."

Donghai Institute!

It's the East China Sea!

Many people looked at Pan Jinfu, all with congratulations in their eyes. If they were not in a meeting, everyone would have stepped forward to congratulate Donghai Institute.

This is an extremely honorable task!

Many people are envious!
Of course some people were a little bit disappointed.

For example, the leader of a certain missile research institute who attended the meeting had a look of disappointment on his face. To be honest, he wanted to compete at this afternoon's meeting, and he had planned his speech.

Also disappointed were the people from a weapons research institute. They all lowered their heads and sighed softly, like eggplants wilted by frost.

They are eager to undertake the design and development of the missile vertical launching system.

Because the 052 ship is the strength of the whole country, everyone pays great attention to it. It is very proud to design and develop the missile vertical launch system for the future 052 ship.

It's just that something doesn't seem right.

At the beginning of the meeting, Commander Huang announced that the Donghai Ship Design Institute would undertake the research and development task. This made it too late for many people to fight for it. They had to hold back what they had thought about and what they were about to say.

Huang Keping had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, smiled heartily, and said loudly: "Comrades, with warm applause, I wish the successful development of the missile launch system of the Donghai Research Institute."

Congratulations to the East China Sea!

There was warm applause in the conference room, which lasted for a long time.

In less than an hour, the meeting was all over.After the meeting ended, many people shook hands with Pan Jinfu to express their congratulations.

"Old Pan, congratulations!"

"Lao Pan, I didn't expect you to snatch the task. No matter what, I'm happy for you."

"."

Pan Jinfu looked happy, and politely shook hands with everyone one by one, and said one or two words of thanks while shaking hands.

That night, Pan Jinfu took everyone to leave the capital by train and return to Donghai City.

On the train.

Pan Jinfu was talking with Yang Fan about the future vertical missile launch system, "Xiao Yang, I am both proud and stressed now."

Yang Fan nodded slightly.

Although the navy's formal technical agreement has not yet been sent to the East China Sea Institute, the basic outline has been clear, requiring the future vertical missile launch system to be modularized and standardized.

Not only can it be equipped on the 052 ship, but it can also be applied to future guided missile frigates, large cruisers, and other large ships.

The military wants a response time of five seconds for the missile's vertical launch system.

A standard module has 8 launch tubes.

Compared with the current oblique launch method, this is much more advanced, and of course the technical content is much higher. Although he has already prepared himself to overcome difficulties, Master Pan is still under pressure.

Yang Fan seemed more relaxed, and said confidently: "Master Pan, if you believe in me, I will lead everyone to develop the future vertical missile launch system, and you can guide and check for me behind the scenes."

This is the first time that Yang Fan has volunteered.

Pan Jinfu was taken aback for a moment, and after feeling the confidence in Yang Fan, he thought for a while, nodded in agreement and said, "Since you have this confidence, let you have a try."

He knew Yang Fan well.

A few days ago, Yang Fan said that he was confident in the design and development of the future missile vertical launch system. He once thought that Yang Fan was a little arrogant, but after thinking about it calmly, he felt that it was not the same thing, but he was basically sure that Yang Fan really had confidence.

Now that you have confidence, you are sure.

Then let him try it!
Master Pan has always planned to train Yang Fan as his successor, and now is indeed a good opportunity to give it a try.

Let Yang Fan lead everyone to design and develop, first for a period of time, if it is not right, it is not too late to go into battle by himself.Master Pan made up his mind.

The next morning, everyone returned to Donghai City.

He just took a rest at home in the morning, and in the afternoon, Yang Fan appeared in Donghai Ship Design Institute, sitting in his office, quietly thinking about how to design the future vertical missile launch system.

He clearly knew that before rebirth, there were three very mature vertical launch systems for ship-borne missiles in China, they are:
一是052c级装备的红旗9垂直发射系统，红旗9是冷发射，发射模块是8X6的模块。

二是054a级护卫舰装备的红旗16.，红旗16则是热发射，发射模块是4X8的模块。

The third is that the 052D device is installed in four groups of eight, and the cold and heat share the shipboard vertical launcher.

Yang Fan is very familiar with these three kinds of missile vertical launching devices. It is no exaggeration to say that he can draw their basic structure diagrams with his eyes closed. He is very clear about any technical difficulties and technical highlights.

The thing to consider now is which missile vertical launch system to take over. After much consideration, Yang Fan decided to lead everyone to design and develop the missile vertical launch system for the 052C guided missile destroyer.

Because this system is closer to the current technology and industrial level, it is temporarily enough to be used on the 052 ship. After another ten or eight years, when our technology and industrial level reach a higher level, we can consider designing and developing 052D equipment. Four groups of eight units are installed, and the cold and hot shared shipboard vertical launchers.

Even Yang Fan knows the deficiencies and flaws of the Hongqi 052 vertical launch system equipped with the 9c class. This time, he will improve them all together, so that the performance will be raised to a small level, and the entire missile vertical launch system can not only launch the future Hongqi 9 Missiles, currently several of our missiles can launch.

In terms of versatility, Yang Fan will give thoughtful consideration.The same is true for the overall performance, and we strive to improve a small step to make it even better.

Pay attention to make sure, Yang Fan knows better.

After Master Pan, Yang Fan and others came back from the meeting in the capital, the news gradually spread in the Donghai Institute. Many designers knew that the institute was responsible for the task of the missile vertical launch system, and many people were talking about these things.

Those veteran designers, of course, have a certain understanding of the missile vertical launch system and have a certain foundation, but those young designers do not necessarily.

For example, in the overall design room, a certain newcomer did not understand the missile vertical launch system, and was asking a middle-aged designer next to him for advice.

"Liu Gong, our 052 ship originally had a missile launch system, why did we design and develop a vertical launch system? Is vertical launch really so good?"

Hearing such a sound, several people came over and pricked up their ears. They are all young designers who have only been working for a few years. Those "veteran birds" are of course unmoved, and they fully understand the missile launch system. The importance of a guided missile destroyer.

Liu Gong put down the drawing pencil in his hand, stopped drawing, looked at these young designers, and prepared to do some science popularization for them.

"Our current 052 ship adopts the oblique launch method of missiles, which has many shortcomings. First, during combat, the launcher usually has to turn to the direction of the target, and the reaction time is long; second, the launcher occupies a large area. A maximum of 2 to 3 missiles can be installed, and there is only one small ship. The number of missiles on each launcher is one less, and the maximum is 8. After the launch, reloading will take more time and affect the firepower of the ship; the third is the launcher. Exposed on the deck, it is easy to be damaged in combat."

In terms of reaction time, Liu Gong specifically gave an example.

"If an incoming missile or aircraft is detected, our missile tilt system needs to adjust the direction of the launcher so that it is roughly aligned with the incoming missile or aircraft, which generally takes 3 to 6 seconds, and after a few seconds have passed , There is not much time left for us to aim and lock the target, which greatly reduces the interception efficiency."

It turned out to be the case.

Several young designers suddenly realized.

Liu Gong continued: "Compared to the oblique launch method of missiles, the vertical launch method has more advantages, such as high launch efficiency, large ammunition load, and no launch blind spot, such as..."

He listed a series of advantages of the vertical launch of the missile. Immediately, the eyes of these young designers all felt that the vertical launch of the missile was too awesome.

"So there are so many advantages, then our 052 ship must be equipped with a missile vertical launcher."

"Tsk tsk, phased array control radar, missile vertical launching device, it is foreseeable that our future 052 ship will definitely rise to a big level."

"."

Many people are talking about the missile vertical launching device that will be designed and developed soon, and more people are full of confidence in the future 052 ship.

However, some people are feeling the pressure.

For example, Zhou Ping, the director of the weapon system design office, did not go to Beijing for a meeting. After hearing that the missile vertical launch system was undertaken by the institute to undertake the research and development and design tasks, the pressure on his body came immediately.

No, he and deputy director Luo Liuchu were discussing this matter.

"At the beginning of the sixth year, we undertook the research and development of the missile vertical launch system. I was both excited and under great pressure."

Luo Liuchu nodded approvingly, and reminded: "If it is an inclined launcher, we still have a certain technical foundation, but it is the first time for a vertical launcher."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Ping said: "Our design office must be the main force in the design and development of missile vertical launchers, so let's find out first, get ready, and collect some foreign language materials. I hope to see some foreign materials. Relevant technical information."

Luo Liuchu said: "It is estimated that the foreign language materials that can be collected are very limited. Such things must be kept strictly confidential in foreign countries. It is unlikely that we can consult relevant technical materials."

That's it!
What can we do then?

With his eyes darkened, is it really necessary to work behind closed doors?
...............

Today is the third update, and the second update will be delivered.
