Chapter 436 Main Gun Installation
Yang Fan was indeed walking this way.

Sun Baoguo hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically, and shook hands tightly, "It came so quickly, I thought it would take at least one or two ten minutes."

Yang Fan said: "The road is unimpeded, and I will be here soon. Besides, I want to see the installation of the phased array control radar, so I can drive a little faster."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the phased array control radar in the hoisting.

Sun Baoguo introduced: "The first radar array has been hoisted, and the second one will be hoisted soon."

While listening to the introduction, Yang Fan nodded slightly.Phased array control radar, this is the clairvoyance of the Type 054 guided missile frigate.

With it, the overall performance of the 054 ship has skyrocketed.

This point has been fully reflected on the Type 052 guided missile destroyer. With the phased array control radar, the technical and tactical level of the Type 052 has been greatly improved, especially the long-range warning and regional air defense capabilities have been greatly improved. In addition, the modified Type 052 There is also a missile vertical launch system, and the 730 close-in anti-aircraft gun, its performance is no longer the same.

Sun Baoguo said happily: "The scientific researchers of the xx institute are really amazing. They have designed and developed such an advanced and excellent radar."

Hearing this, Yang Fan smiled proudly.

The development of the phased array control radar is so successful, which is due to Yang Fan. At the beginning of the development, Yang Fan put forward many good suggestions.

Even their chief teacher made a special trip to ask for advice. Yang Fan communicated with him many times and gave him many very good suggestions.

It's just that Yang Fan kept a low profile and never showed off. Few people knew about it.

"Come on, let's board the ship and go up to have a look."

Accompanied by Sun Baoguo and others, Yang Fan boarded the 054 ship again. Standing on the deck, he saw the hoisting of the phased array control radar at close range, and walked to the bow deck to see the basically installed missiles. vertical launch system.

When his eyes fell on the base of the main gun, Yang Fan asked with concern, "Mr. Sun, when are you going to start the installation of the main gun?"

Sun Baoguo was slightly puzzled, not knowing why Yang Fan specifically asked about the installation of the main gun, so he replied: "The day after tomorrow, that is, next Monday, we will start the installation of the main gun."

Yang Fan reminded: "The installation of the main gun is a technical task, and you must be fully prepared."

Sun Baoguo almost patted his chest and said: "There will be no problem. Our technicians have formulated a whole set of installation procedures. The hoisting gear for hoisting the main gun is specially designed, and it has already been manufactured."

Hearing this, Yang Fan nodded lightly.

After thinking about it for a while, I still feel that it is necessary to remind me further, "Mr. Sun, when the main gun of the Type 052 guided missile destroyer was hoisted, many things happened, which almost caused Donghai Shipyard to suffer a lot. You must not take it lightly."

"what!"

Including Sun Baoguo, everyone was slightly shocked.

Looking at the expression, Yang Fan knew that they definitely didn't know the hoisting of the main guns of the Donghai Shipyard when the first ship of the 052 ship was built.

Recalling what happened back then, Yang Fan was overwhelmed with emotion and sighed.

Slowly said: "At the beginning, this matter caused Donghai Shipyard to be tormented enough."

After briefly explaining the situation at that time, the faces of Sun Baoguo and others changed slightly. They did not expect that the difficulty would be so great. The size of the main gun installation base would change with time. Strict window period.

If Yang Fan hadn't reminded them, they would not have known this at all.

Sun Baoguo said gratefully: "Mr. Yang, thank you for your reminder. It seems that we need to redo the hoisting process of the main gun."

Yang Fan said: "It's best to communicate with Donghai Shipyard to learn from their successful experience, and I wish you a smooth hoisting of the main gun."

If it is a horizontal berth, the difficulty of hoisting the main gun is much less. As long as the window period suitable for hoisting is selected, the hoisting can usually be done quickly.

It's hard to say if the slipway is tilted.

At the beginning, Donghai Shipyard also had an inclined berth. When the main gun was hoisted, it had to be inclined, and the angle must be consistent with the inclination angle of the berth. Otherwise, there would be a situation where the lower part of the main gun went in, but the upper part could not. Go and get stuck.

Donghai Shipyard has experienced the installation of the main guns of the Type 052 guided missile destroyer. According to Yang Fan, Dongjiang Shipyard can learn from their relevant experience.

Sun Baoguo finally realized the difficulty of installing the main gun, and immediately agreed: "Don't worry, we will sincerely ask Donghai Shipyard for advice."

Seeing this, Yang Fan was relieved, and hoped that the main gun of the 054 first ship would be successfully installed.

After looking at the bow deck, he walked into the command room and saw the installation of various equipment and instruments. Seeing that everything went well, Yang Fan was very satisfied.

In a few months, the ship will be fully painted, and then it can be launched into the water for a series of experimental work.

Donghai Shipyard.

They are also very busy, especially in the past few years. There are two large horizontal construction berths, each with a Type 052B guided missile destroyer under construction.

The current 052B is very different from the 052B in history. It has a missile vertical launch system, a phased array control radar, and a 730 close-in anti-aircraft gun. In fact, it is closer to the 052C in history, and it has a big difference from 052B. the difference.

Chen Shaohua's office welcomed a guest, that is, Sun Baoguo, the deputy general manager of Dongjiang Shipyard and the chief builder of the Type 054 guided missile frigate.

Sun Baoguo said: "Old Chen, if you don't hesitate to teach me, you must explain to us in detail the installation essentials of the 052 ship's main gun."

Chen Shaohua laughed, "Old Sun, you are too polite and humble. This is because I have stayed with Comrade Yang Fan for a long time and learned his kind of modesty."

"Where, where, I'm here today to ask for advice. You are teachers and we are students." Sun Baoguo was still very modest.

This is according to Yang Fan's suggestion. Sun Baoguo brought a group of people to Dongjiang Shipyard, because the main gun installation of the 052 ship and the main gun installation of the 054 ship have a lot in common, especially the main gun installation of the first ship of the 052 ship is, Donghai Shipyard is also an inclined berth.

Chen Shaohua didn't hide anything, and explained in detail the installation of the main guns of the first ship of the 052 ship, and said gratefully.

"At the beginning, thanks to Comrade Yang Fan, otherwise, I don't know how to solve this problem."

Full of emotion, full of gratitude!

Reporting Sun was slightly surprised, and thought in his heart, at that time, General Master Yang was only in his early twenties, so young, he was already so powerful and able to help solve such a difficult problem.

After the two chatted for a while, Chen Shaohua said: "It's a coincidence that you came here. We happen to have a task to install the main gun today. I'll take you to have a look."

"Really, that's great!"

Sun Baoguo was so happy that he rubbed his hands together in excitement. It's better to come at a good time than to come at a good time.

Under the personal leadership of Chen Shaohua, a large group of people went to one of the construction berths. There, a 052 ship had entered the stage of weapon outfitting and was just about to install the main gun.

Everyone boarded the ship one after another, stood on the bow deck, and immediately saw another 052 ship under construction not far away, and it seemed that the overall closure had been completed.

Sun Baoguo was slightly excited, but also very envious, thinking in his heart, when we can start the construction of two 054 ships at the same time, that would be great.

The installation of the main gun is ready to start, but it has not yet been hoisted.

Chen Shaohua introduced: "This is the installation base of the main gun. The interface is very precise. The interface is vertical to the horizontal plane. The main gun is installed by hoisting."

He reminded: "But remember, because the interface is very precise and the steel plate is relatively thin, it will be affected by temperature. You must choose a suitable window period, and the installation must be completed within this period. Once installed, we can only wait for tomorrow.”

The technicians of Dongjiang Shipyard, including Sun Baoguo, listened carefully to the detailed introduction of the things that must be paid attention to when installing the main gun.

He even reminded: "Not only do you have to listen, but you also have to write down everything Mr. Chen said, and when you go back, you should understand it carefully and think about it carefully."

So there was such a scene.

A large group of people stood in an open place on the berth deck, in front of which was the installation interface of the main gun. Chen Shaohua spoke seriously, while others took out their notebooks, listening carefully and taking notes seriously.

After talking about this, Chen Shaohua said loudly: "It's time for the hoisting of the main gun. Let's all get out of the way and follow me to the command room, where you can clearly see the whole process of hoisting the main gun."

The group went to the command room again. Through the glass, the bow deck was unobstructed. Not only could they see the installation position of the main gun, but they could also see the installed vertical missile launcher.

As soon as the time came, the hoisting of the main gun of the 052 ship began.

Under the guidance of the commander, the main gun was slowly hoisted, and then lifted to the position on the bow deck, above the main gun installation base.

Then, it aimed at the installation base and slowly fell, and when it was almost close to the installation position, it made another fine adjustment.

In the end, it landed slightly on the mounting base, just fine.

After the inspection, the quality inspectors and technicians looked down, and someone came over immediately to report, "Mr. Chen, the main gun has been successfully installed."

Chen Shaohua said with satisfaction: "Not bad, this time it was a one-time success, and you are getting more and more proficient."

After being praised, the director showed a happy expression.

Chen Shaohua said: "This is the installation process of the main gun. You all saw it clearly just now. I think the installation of the main gun of the Type 054 guided missile frigate is basically the same."

"Ah."

"We basically figured it out."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

The people from Dongjiang Shipyard nodded their heads one after another to express their gratitude. They really saw the process very clearly.

Some people even thought in their hearts, there is no difficulty. Without the horror in the details, we should not have any big problems.
