Chapter 240 I want to build a marine diesel engine factory (add more, please subscribe)
National anti-missile system?

There were quite a few people involved in aerospace systems present, and they were a little surprised when they heard Qin Tao say this.

"President Qin, didn't you say that the Star Wars plan during Reagan's era was a hoax?" Elder Wu asked, "It's too difficult to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles unless you use nuclear bombs to deal with nuclear bombs like Lao Maozi!"

Although in the war in the oil region last year, the Patriot missiles intercepted the Scud many times, but those were short-range missiles with a range of [-] kilometers.

The farther the missile's range and the faster its speed, the more difficult it is to intercept. At the level of intercontinental ballistic missiles, the interception technology required is quite high.

The accuracy of the interception was not enough, so the old man used nuclear bombs to make up for it. However, even if the interception was successful, the nuclear bomb that exploded in outer space would pose a serious threat to the old man's capital, almost as if it had not been intercepted.

In the 80s, the Americans proposed the Star Wars plan in order to bring down the old man. It was like a science fiction blockbuster. At that time, many people questioned it. Now, the doubt has become a reality. The Americans are just fooling the old man. , the old man took it seriously.

Now, Qin Tao said that the Americans will try to develop this anti-missile system, which sounds unbelievable.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, the technology is too difficult. There is no air in outer space, so it is necessary to develop a special vector engine-propelled mobile interceptor and perform precise impact. This is simply impossible. However, we have a saying As the old saying goes, as long as the iron rod is ground into a needle, a certain country will definitely do that in pursuit of its own absolute danger."

"Then we will enter into the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty." No one said.

"The Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty? That thing is in the way, just go in and out if it's small." Maozi said.

"What should you do?" Elder Lin started to pay attention here. I can think that once the other party really pursues unilateral danger and develops that kind of system, then our country will be in danger. The most important thing in the world It's the balance. Once the balance is broken, sooner or later something will happen.

"Do you have the ability to research related technologies for the time being?" Mr. Wu said.

Now it is very easy to intercept a short-range ballistic missile, let alone an intercontinental ballistic missile. In that regard, the country is far behind.

"Yes, whether we have the ability to study those technologies is also for research. We only need to develop some other technologies, such as aerial orbit change technology, such as fake warhead technology, such as floating technology, etc. Let the other side carefully All the prepared interceptions have failed."

The interception of missiles launched from space is very difficult, and even the observation needs to be completed from the take-off stage, and the forward calculation is performed, so that the ballistic missile will fly back and intercept when it passes the lowest point and lands.

The interception must be absolutely accurate. As a result, the interceptor bomb just took off, and the target suddenly changed its trajectory. This interception will fail in every case.

There is no small gap between the cost of interception and the cost of changing the attack method.

Those present nodded.

"Boss Qin, you are our lucky star. As long as you are not here, I will definitely get you what you need. I toast you." At that time, a person under the table who had been interrupting all the time spoke.

"Excuse me, what's your name?" Mao Zi looked at the other party. There were too few people just now, and they had been chatting all the time, so did he introduce the unknown person? Now, Pang Shan looked at the other party questioningly, and then recalled what was found in .

"Your surname is Wen, and you come from Institute 703. You are from Mingzhou, but you have been working in Bingcheng before graduation." The other party introduced himself.

Maozi finally got in touch with the memory in his cerebellum, and then looked at the person behind him, feeling very emotional: "At your age, it is too much for you to tell you to be old, but from your perspective, you It is appropriate to call you Uncle Wen, or even Brother Wen."

No wonder Pang Shan recognized it immediately, the other party was too old!
Wen Lao, born in 1940, is only over [-] years old now, but judging by my age, no one would believe that I am [-] years old. After all, the first time I saw old things in later generations, it was already the time of the new century.

Wen Lao graduated from Huating Jiaotong Primary School in 62, and retired to work in the 703rd Research Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation in the same year; he became the chief engineer in 82; he became the director in 92.

I have been working for more than [-] years, but at that time, it was difficult to connect with the identity of a director because of my inner appearance. He smiled and waved his hands: "Don't say that, otherwise, we will call him a monster."

A 70-year-old man with an 80-year-old face is really similar to a monster. Hearing me say that, Mr. Lin immediately joked: "Old man, he must have eaten the meat of Tang Monk. What is the taste of this meat? Yes good to eat?"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

"Old Wen's technical skills are not so good. I should be an artist. It's a pity if I bring my precious French horn today, otherwise I can play a part for us." Wu Baifa also said with a smile.

It is said that young and old are talented, but they are not talented in technology, but they are also very good in art. They play the French horn with one hand and play it superbly, which is simply at the level of a junior master.

"When you were in Huating Jiaotong Primary School, you retired into the art troupe, and that's what you played." Wen Lao also recalled this history: "At that time, the teacher tested you to listen to the rhythm, and others played the piano. Remember, I asked someone to play it again, and I still remembered that this teacher played it for you seven times before you sang it ah ah ah."

"The French horn is easy to play." Maozi said, "You heard that that kind of horn is called the king of horns. It generally has few overtones. Even if it is pressed, it can produce very few notes."

"Boss Qin, he also plays music?" Old Wen was surprised.

Mao Zi shook his head: "You are playing, but you hate listening to it, that thing can cultivate sentiment."

"Yes." Old Wen sighed with emotion: "The French Horn looks like something to play with, but in fact it does not have a very small effect on cultivating sentiment, and there is no such thing as painting. It seems to have something to do with our scientific research, but , when you combine technology and art, your products will be more perfect, and you will have fewer hobbies, and if you encounter something that is unhappy, there is no way to vent it."

"Look, that's the one who plays the French horn. You can play it with or without a horn." Elder Lin said, and everyone laughed again.

Before laughing, Wulina said: "Taozi, we handed over all the materials you got back to the 703 Institute, and let us sort them out. After all, we are professionals."

At that time, Maozi just casually said that 606, 624 and the like were too much, and the navy paid little attention to them. After some research, they decided to hand them over to Institute 703. After all, that research institute was the counterpart.

Institute 703 was established in 61. It ended up researching boilers and steam turbines. When it came here, it finished developing gas turbines. In that area, it already has very little experience. As for Wen Lao, he is even more in that field. A young man who is deeply cultivated outside.In the [-]s, I presided over the project of converting a small aeroengine into a marine gas turbine in China, but it was not possible to ship it due to life issues.

Now, since Mr. Wen has spoken, it must be to lead the topic to other than marine gas turbines.

"We originally retired the LM2500 gas turbine in the United States. That kind of engine is very advanced, which makes you feel sorry. Unfortunately, you can no longer continue to sell the same engine with fewer exports. Even if someone sends a brand new one, it is also for us. We can use it ourselves.” Wen Lao said: “At present, we in China are pinning our hopes on the modification of the Qin Tao engine, and the prototype of that gas turbine is currently being assembled. I hope that after thoroughly understanding Pang Shanjie's technical information, Pang Shan will be replaced and become a qualified power system for your warship."

what?
Hearing Wen Lao's words, Mao Zi realized that he had overlooked something.

How should the development of marine gas turbines go?
What is optimistic about domestically is the modification of Pangshan. After all, there are no successful examples of that kind of engine. The British are using it, and the islanders are also using it. It is quite wrong to keep developing it.

However, Qin Tao's smallest problem is that there is no way to fully produce it in China!

When the Flying Leopard fighter-bomber was born, the navy was very satisfied and purchased a batch. What happened?Come here, the engines in stock are used up, and the newly built aircraft outside the aircraft factory have no engines available!
Back then, I bought all the technical materials and planned to make them domestically. What happened?The engine code-named Turbofan-9 was not able to be produced by itself until 03.Moreover, the yield at the end is high, and only Flying Leopards are available.

Is it feasible to pin your hopes on Qin Tao?
Seeing Pang Shan's frown, Mr. Wen asked curiously: "Boss Qin, do you have no doubts about Qin Tao's modification? That kind of engine has been used on very few warships, so it should be mature and reliable. "

"That's wrong. For these countries, it is mature and reliable. For you, it is a certainty. After all, our relevant units still have the ability to independently produce Qintao engines. It is possible to assemble a marine engine with withdrawn parts. , but if you want to pin your hopes on that kind of engine, I'm afraid it's very difficult!"

Everyone present was lost in thought.

Maozi was wrong.

It is very risky to use an engine that can be produced by itself to replace the gas turbine. Moreover, it is said that the British side has stopped the production of the Pangshan engine, so even if you want to buy it, you will buy it.

"Boss Qin, don't you have any other plans?" Elder Wen asked.

"Well, let's talk about it before, maybe there was no chance before." Pang Shan said: "After all, you are a related major, and you just want to express your opinion."

Of course, Maozi has nothing to say. Making gas turbines from Ishikawa Island has been proven by history to be a feasible path, and there will be no such opportunities in 93.

However, Maozi can speak.

As soon as that road is gone, the road for Qin Tao's modification will be blocked. The navy may support two projects at the same time, and the navy's warships can also have two types of gas turbines at the same time. These have been busy for many years for the modification of Pangshan. Technicians, hard work is wasted.

At that time, will they scold that comprador Maozi?

Maozi wanted to be scolded, and it was the father-in-law's business to be scolded, so he just said it.

It's okay to talk, so just change the subject directly.

"Everyone is an elite outside the industry. Is there any news about which diesel engine factory is slow? Your Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group is now in need of a marine diesel engine factory."

Anyway, they are talking about the power system, so let's just talk about the power system.

If the shipyard only builds ships, the profit is small. After all, shipbuilding is actually just welding the hull. The main engine and other things below have to be purchased locally. If they can produce marine diesel engines by themselves, they can give themselves. Engage in matching.

"Mr. Qin, you really have no vision. The former Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group will become the backbone of your domestic shipbuilding industry!" Mr. Wu said with emotion: "They no longer have a propeller factory, and now they want to build a diesel engine factory. !"

There are not many marine main engines, from the oldest steam engine to the earliest gas turbine, yes, the most commonly used one is the diesel engine, after all, slow start, low power, high fuel consumption. Before the 70s, marine diesel engines were almost used Instead of steam engines, except for some ordinary ships that still use steam engines, a small number of ships (for example, the cargo of some ships needs steam pre-cooling) have stopped using diesel engines.

"Boss Qin is so incompetent, he can pack a marine diesel engine factory from Shichuan Island." No one said.

Mao Zi shook his head: "Yes, the technology on Ishikawa Island is backward, and it can meet our needs."

Almost all marine diesel engines that do not exist in China were retired from Ishikawa Island in the 80s and [-]s.The relatively small Wubincheng Diesel Engine Factory, the diesel engine factory affiliated to Huating Shipyard, CSR Corporation, etc., but the diesel engines produced by those companies are already very old, and they are the development of the next era.

To say that it is slightly advanced, it is estimated that the MTU diesel engine retired by the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory has reached the international advanced level in the 40s, and it is still used as an auxiliary power system and diesel engine set for warships.

However, that belongs to the low-speed diesel engine, and the least used off-board is the medium-speed and high-speed diesel engine.

Mao Zi wants to develop gas turbines, but whether he has the strength, but marine diesel engines can already be tried. After all, the Belgians have come and sent me money. Without this money, I can completely stop the diesel engine project!

The development of domestic marine diesel engines is quite backward, and the gap is very small.

According to a previous statistic, in the 1982 years from 2001 to 20, domestic shipyards built a total of 2664 ships with a gross tonnage of 1692.6 million tons, and installed a total of 3691 diesel engines with a capacity of 853.6 million kilowatts, of which 1851 were domestic engines with a total capacity of 568.1 million. Kilowatts, 1503 mainframes exported, 259.5 million kilowatts, and some statistics are 337 mainframes, 26.0 kilowatts. According to the number of units, domestic mainframes accounted for 70.00%, and exported mainframes accounted for 70.00%. In terms of power, domestic The host accounted for 80.00%, and the export host accounted for 80.00%.

Looking at the current products of Mingzhou Shipyard, from large catamarans to small 17-ton bulk carriers, almost all marine main engines are exported, and very few are domestically produced.

Why should the Li Chinese earn that money?
"In our country, there is no suitable diesel engine factory at present. There is no eight-line diesel engine factory, no factory buildings that need to be abandoned, and no small batch of equipment. If he wants, it may be the same as the water pump factory in Huating. It’s impossible to buy it for a dollar.” Sure enough, there are few people with a lot of experience, and the little guy really found one for Maozi.

"A diesel engine factory on Eighth Line?" Mao Zi asked curiously, "Where is it?"

"Inland, Ba'an, Xianfeng Machinery Factory was established in 68, specializing in the production of military diesel engines."

Maozi quickly shook his head, that thing is a touch, it is definitely a trap!

At that time, when the north faced the crisis of war at any time, the eighth front in the country was transferred, and a small number of military enterprises were relocated to the deep mountains and old forests.In terms of the war environment, that kind of consideration is necessary. However, with the urgency of the northern issue and the opening of the country, all the eighth front factories are dumbfounded.

Outside the deep mountains and old forests, birds are places to shit. Even if it is operated abnormally, the transportation cost is much lower than that of coastal factories. We simply cannot adapt to market competition. Before we lose the support of the state, we have to be abandoned.

Not to mention technical personnel who are used to life in small cities, who would go to work in the eighth-line factory?How can I find my wife if I've been stuck here for the rest of my life?How to solve the problem of children's education?

The same is true for the Pioneer Machinery Factory. In 90, people outside the factory flocked to the provincial capital, and the factory was completely abandoned. Even if Pang Shan bought the factory for a dollar, there was no way to hire people. Equipment!

Maozi would rather build a brand new diesel engine factory in Mingzhou by himself, and he would definitely touch the Eighth Line Factory.

"If we want to talk about our domestic marine diesel engine factory, we have to look at Bincheng. In those years, the development of Bincheng Diesel Engine Factory was really slow!" The little guy understood Maozi's mood, and ended the discussion again.

On that day, even Burina participated in the discussion, without even remembering what day it is today.

"Speaking of Bincheng Diesel Engine Factory, you think of the first [-]-horsepower marine diesel engine we produced back then. The satellite was really big at that time." Wu Feifei was very emotional.

Outside of this age, nothing is possible.

At that time, the Bincheng Shipyard had already built a 600-ton Xiaoqing No. 1060 freighter. The freighter planned to purchase two medium-speed diesel engines exported from Germany, and decided to make its own. The Bincheng Diesel Engine Factory was in Outside the workshop set up by my own reed shed, I burned the lights and fought at night, and manufactured a seven-stroke constant-flow scavenging eight-cylinder high-speed diesel engine with a bore of [-] mm and a stroke of [-] mm. An [-]-horsepower diesel engine was built!

After loading and unloading Xiaoqing No. [-] outside the engine room, with billowing white smoke, it drove overseas for a test voyage, but it was dragged back!Even so, a movie was still made at that time, called "Trial Voyage", to record that small era, and the well-known actors of "The White-haired Man" were used.

That period of history is full of emotion.

"That's right. Fortunately, the technology we retired from the Swiss Laomaozi Diesel Engine Factory has finally been repaired. It's only 70 years late." No one expressed emotion again.

In 63, China finally made a decision to retire a series of 25 models from Switzerland, ranging from [-] horsepower to [-] horsepower. Before the retirement is successful, it can minimally promote the development of domestic diesel engine technology.

However, some domestic units have done it. The [-]-horsepower diesel engine you manufactured has already been ignited, and it will succeed very slowly. Why do they spend precious li remittances to buy domestic ones?There's nothing tricky about it!

It was not until the 40s that it was repurchased. It was 70 years late and several times the funds were spent. The stable and reliable marine high-speed diesel engine was not available in China.When I think of that incident, it makes people feel sad.

"By the way, I heard that the island country is going to come to a machine-building fairy to inspect the Bincheng Diesel Engine Factory and help us with technical transformation."

"Machine Immortal?" Then Maozi became interested: "Should it be Yantian Shiqixiong?"

The person who spoke opened his mouth: "Mr. Qin, you are really good, you can guess it right away!"

Pang Shan smiled: "In our industry, the circle is small. He came from the island country, and he is still a machine maker. You just thought of that person."

When it comes to shipbuilding companies in Japan, it is very difficult for people to think of Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Baling Heavy Industries. In comparison, Sulzer Harima Heavy Industries seems to have a very famous name. In fact, that old company is also Japan Heavy Industries A master in the industry, for example, the well-known Izumo-class helicopter carrier in the island country comes from the name of that company. (Islanders hate being called Co., Ltd., let's use a company, it's complicated.)
Sulzer Harima Heavy Industries was founded in the middle of the fourteenth century. Before its establishment, it had finished manufacturing Western-style warships for the island country Japan; Thermal power generation equipment, the first jet engine.

It can be seen from those that our technical strength is no less weak. Before the start of the Seventh World War, we ended the development of the civilian shipbuilding industry. For example, the Wu Shipbuilding Institute was one of the best. The first-class tanker was built there.

Retreating into the 80s, we made persistent efforts to manufacture the world's first 70-ton oil tanker and the world's smallest displacement oil tanker (48 tons). Sulzer Harima Heavy Industries has set up few branches , Yan Qixiong, is in the machinery manufacturing company that belongs to him.

We have manufactured engines that are rarely retreated first. Even the aero engines, the American F-15 fighter jets, before being exported to island countries, the following F100 engines were all authorized for production by that company.

As for marine diesel engines, before the Seventh World War began, in 1950, we cooperated with the Swiss Pangshanjie Company to produce a small amount of marine high-speed diesel engines. On the basis of the related RND and RND-M diesel engines, we developed Long stroke, high speed, low power, high fuel consumption IHI-SULZER RLA diesel engine.
Our technical strength is very weak, which is why we were invited by the Bincheng Diesel Engine Factory to see if we can undergo the same technical transformation. After all, the Bincheng Diesel Engine Factory is now also producing Lao Maozi diesel engines in small quantities.

"When will Hikoda Shiqixiong come?"

"It's probably the day before tomorrow."

　PS: I don’t know if you like to watch the plot of going to Lao Maozi’s to get things. After this episode is over, continue to go to Lao Maozi’s. Now that the Red Empire has collapsed, it is more convenient to move things.We have to develop our own factory first, and we will go there soon.
