Chapter 258 Large Straight Deck Ship Bow Ski Jump Amphibious Combat Ship
When the eastern sky was slightly pale, several Il-76 transport planes landed directly on the airport of the Huating Naval Air Force.Countless vehicles that had been waiting here for a long time drove up immediately, and on the cargo platform at the rear of the cabin, bundles of design drawings were transferred to the vehicle.

Wu Shengli's eyes were bloodshot because of continuous coordination and not much rest. However, when he saw a few people getting off the plane, he immediately greeted them with vigor.

"came back?"

"Well, I'm back." Qin Tao yawned. Although he slept on the plane, he was still restless, so he didn't have a good rest along the way. There was a tough battle to be fought, and he had to arrange his work first. just go down.

"Dad, let me introduce you. This is Zaitsev, my good friend over there. This is Leonid, an engineer from the Pacific Fleet's technical department."

Qin Tao introduced the people he brought with him to Wu Shengli. Because of these old men, Wu Shengli was inconvenient to say anything, and stretched out his hand: "Welcome, please rest assured, these design drawings There will definitely be no problems, and after using it, it will be returned to Zhao."

Leonid nodded: "Now, before the sky is fully lit, transport all these things over there as soon as possible, by the way, are you ready over there?"

"We have already mobilized enough people and equipment overnight, so there will be no delay." Wu Shengli said, patting his chest.

Yesterday's dinner was very enjoyable, and many people drank too much, so when Yang Dawei opened his eyes in the morning, he still felt a little headache. He glanced at the window, and the sun had already shone in, so he should get up.

Yang Dawei sat up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and just woke up when he was startled by the sound of vehicles outside.

One after another, this is the convoy coming in?

Could it be that some other equipment was brought in?It shouldn't be!The equipment has been purchased and installed in place!

With doubts, Yang Dawei got up, walked forward from the dormitory area, and then saw trucks unloading goods, he was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the shape of the package, it is clearly a drawing!
When designing the 051 destroyer, I referred to the design of Lao Maozi’s Colin-class destroyer. At that time, I got some old Maozi’s design materials. Decades have passed, and Yang Dawei’s memory of those packages is still fresh. When he first went to the Ship Design Institute, he had taken care of the warehouse, so he was very clear about this thing.

Now, how could there be such a thing?

Yang Dawei hesitated for a moment, and then he recognized it. It seemed that Yang Zhaoxiang and Zhang Chao were among the people who carried it together?Aren't they staying in Mingzhou?Why did you come here suddenly?
Yang Dawei walked up curiously, and then saw more people.

Some old friends who used to be in the design institute have come, and there are some new faces who don't know, who look like college students, and these people are also working hard.

Could it be that a new project is about to start here?
"Designers, now go to the meeting room at the northeast corner for a meeting!" Someone began to convey the message.

meeting?
A stepped conference room that can seat hundreds of people?
Yang Dawei suddenly had a fire burning in his heart, this must be some great mission!
When he entered, the conference room was already filled with darkness, at least hundreds of people.

Babbage was sitting excitedly on the rostrum, with Qin Tao and Mr. Pan on his left, and a few old men on his right.

"Okay, everyone is almost here." Qin Tao spoke, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"First of all, please pay attention to the discipline of secrecy. Although we are all from all over the world, we are all in related industries and know the discipline of secrecy. If anyone tells the things here, he will spend the rest of his life in prison! If you feel that you have nothing to say, you can leave now, but after the meeting, there will be no turning back, and you will spend a month in complete isolation here."

Qin Tao's words are not trying to scare people, this battle is absolutely unusual.

"Okay, since everyone hasn't left, I will now solemnly announce to everyone that the second design institute of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group has now been established!"

There was applause below.

"After the establishment, we faced a challenge. I received a task for everyone. We need to complete the scanning and vectorization of the original drawings within one week, and complete the improved design within two weeks. The time is tight and the task is heavy, and everyone may have to work together next time, but as long as the project is completed, everyone can get a salary and bonus of 2000 yuan!"

Earning 2000 yuan in less than a month is absolutely unprecedented. However, the people present are not excited about the money. At this time, they are all paying attention to this design task.

What is the task that requires the cooperation of these people?

In particular, what does the old man on the rostrum do?

"First of all, let me introduce to you, Mao Gengxin, the director of our design office and the general manager of this project."

As Qin Tao said, he pointed to Babbage beside him.

What?Mao update?
Mao Gengxin, of course, was Qin Tao's new name for Babbage, which was decided a quarter of an hour ago. Anyway, the name is just a code name, Babbage doesn't care, and the name still has a certain meaning.

Mao, of course, is what Lao Maozi meant. To renew, that is to come here and start a normal life. Vientiane is renewed.

The people below applauded in unison. Of course they knew that the name was a code name, and they would be called Director Mao in the future. What they cared about was their task!
"Director Mao has a lot of experience in shipbuilding, especially in the [-]-ton large straight-through deck bow ski-jump amphibious combat ship. He has a lot of experience, which will play an important role in our modification project. Therefore, everyone must cooperate with him and cooperate with him wholeheartedly."

A large straight-through deck bow ski-jump amphibious combat ship?Everyone was a little confused by this title, and some people realized that it was an aircraft carrier, isn't it?Do you need to put it so bluntly?
Straight to the deck, the bow of the ship slides to take off, isn't this the design plan of Lao Maozi's third-generation aircraft carrier?
Mr. Qin, can't you be more straightforward?

Although the big guy complained a little, his face was full of ecstasy after he realized it.

The [-]-ton class, the aircraft carrier is refitted, does it need to be said?The answer is already there.

Mr. Qin, are you too awesome?Is this kind of project available?How did you bid with Lao Maozi?

Mr. Qin, let's do it without paying. This is the most valuable experience!
Countless people became excited, and there was no need to mobilize with that screaming energy!

"For the sake of simplicity, we call this project the 2001 project, and everyone will use this code name in the future." Qin Tao also felt that the series of words were too awkward, so he simply gave it a code name.

2 represents the second design institute, and 001 represents the first project of the design institute.

Some of these people in front of them will leave after the completion of the project, and some people will stay and continue to work. However, whether they leave or stay, the 2001 project will leave an indelible impression in their hearts and become their most memorable memories.

For them, this is the most rare experience. Among these people, some have participated in the 707 project, and some are working on the 891 project. However, they absolutely have no access to such detailed information, let alone this kind of opportunity. Design it yourself, and it may eventually become a reality!
At that time, the 707 project was launched, and the navy planned to develop a [-]-ton light aircraft carrier. However, it was poor and had nothing at hand. ".

The foundation of the 891 project is higher. After all, the Melbourne has been dismantled. With more information, this project plans a 100-ton aircraft carrier plan, steam power, steam catapult, etc., and there will be more than [-] reports in the end , millions of words of research results.

However, that was also done behind closed doors. How could he have access to all the information on Lao Maozi's heavy-duty aircraft cruiser like now!

Qin Tao knows that China has put in too much hard work to build an aircraft carrier. In 95, it even gave a Spanish company several million dollars in consulting fees, aiming at the other party's 220-ton SAC-[-] Aircraft carrier blueprints.

Now, after this project, everyone will have the first opportunity to practice the design of aircraft carriers, which will lay a solid foundation for the future production of aircraft carriers in the motherland!

Thinking of this, Qin Tao's heart surged.

"Cough, cough." Someone next to him coughed.

Qin Tao glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and then he came to his senses.

"Let me introduce to you again. This Mr. Wang Ming is responsible for our confidentiality work. Everyone must abide by the confidentiality discipline. Any information is not allowed to be taken away. After the project is completed, we will destroy it according to Mr. Wang Ming's arrangement. We are only responsible for designing this process, we will not leave any information, this is the principle."

Wang Ming, a simple name, was Leonid's pseudonym.

Leonid stood up and murmured something to the effect that if he didn't follow what he said, he would be thrown to Siberia or something. However, the translator cleverly translated his words to make the scene more friendly .

After the meeting, the project officially started.

Sheets of paper designs were disassembled, stuffed into a scanner, into a computer, and then repackaged into their original form and put back.

Although there are many design drawings of the aircraft carrier, a few scanners can still be completed day and night. No matter how many design drawings there are, how can there be more college entrance examination papers in a province?With several scanners rotating continuously, it can still be completed within the stipulated time. (N years ago, East China’s Xiong went to Normal University, and computer marking was just beginning to be popular, and I came into contact with this thing. At that time, I also gave eye drops to every marking teacher, after all, it was still a CRT monitor)

The difficulty is not scanning, but the conversion of graphics.

Scanning the design drawing is just a drawing, or a picture. This picture cannot be designed directly in the computer, nor can it be improved. This requires converting the graphics into vector graphics, and every line in it needs to be moved. Row.

This requires the high-priced server to run at full power. After all, its computing power is almost half that of the Galaxy 2 supercomputer.

After the scanned drawings are converted into vector graphics, they need to be sorted and archived. At present, a large number of technical personnel are doing this work.

They watched the blueprints come out one after another, and they were extremely excited. This was the first time they had come into contact with such precious materials. They also tried to remember these blueprints and use them later.

"Thanks to last year's national call to get rid of the drawing board, if we hadn't adapted to computer graphics in advance, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to participate in this kind of project!"

"Yes, in our unit, there are a few old comrades who have excellent drawing skills. Unfortunately, they are not enlightened and can't learn computer drawing, so they have already retired early."

"If you don't use a computer to draw, it is absolutely impossible to complete the changes in half a month."

After a year of popularization, key units have started to engage in computer graphics, and they have also begun to adapt to computer graphics and realize the advancement of this kind of graphics.

When you need to modify, you just need to modify it directly, which is convenient and fast. If you still use the original manual drawing method, and complete the project in half a month, it is definitely a dream!
In the conference room next to the office, a group of people have entered the specific research stage.

Babbage stood in front of the projection screen, holding a TV whip antenna in his hand, and pointed to the graphic on it: "The area of ​​the angled deck must be enlarged, so as to ensure that the carrier-based aircraft can land safely after landing failure." Normal go-around!"

"I suggest that the rear deck can continue to extend back three to five meters." Qin Tao added: "This can also balance the added weight in front."

"Three meters, it can't be too much, or the hull structure is not strong enough to support it." Babich finally made a decision.

Yang Dawei's hands have already begun to move rapidly, manipulating the design drawings on the laptop, so the rear deck on the projection screen increases at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Elder Pan just watched and didn't speak. For him, the most important thing was to participate. Almost the whole idea was discussed by Babbage and Qin Tao.

When doing business, Qin Tao was extremely smooth, but now, he is serious and serious, from a profiteer to an engineer.

"The choice of the take-off line is still the most difficult. Since the ship island directly blocks the path of the take-off line, we can only make a 90-meter-long take-off line at most, which cannot meet the take-off requirements at all!"

What troubled Babbage the most was taking off.

According to the design plan of Kuznetsov and Varyag, they will set up two take-off lines on the bow ski jump deck, the one on the right can directly reach the front of the island, and the one on the left, You can also continue to extend backwards.

In this way, you can have two 105-meter-long light-load take-off points, the one on the left is extended behind, and a 195-meter-long No. [-] long-distance take-off point.

This take-off point has to fly over the angled deck area, which will cause obstacles to the recovery of fighter jets. However, due to the long distance at this point, Su-33 can take off with a full load and give full play to the advantages of fighter jets.

For a warship of [-] to [-] tons, there is no problem with this design, but when it is placed on an aircraft carrier of [-] tons, problems arise.

The ship island cannot be moved, and the jump deck in front cannot be too long. In this way, the take-off runway for carrier-based aircraft is not enough!

90 meters, what can fly?Sea Harrier is no problem, MiG-29K don't know, Su-33 definitely can't.

This question is simply unsolvable!
Babbage has a headache for this.

What kind of counterweight, what kind of central part of the island, these are all put aside, even a take-off can't be solved at present!

"What's so difficult about it, we just need to move the takeoff line to the left." Qin Tao picked up another whip antenna and pointed at it: "Starting from the bow of the ship, the takeoff line is to the left. The ship island, continue to the left, you can set up a take-off point in the middle of the ship island, so that it is almost 160 meters away, which is directly the heavy-duty take-off point."

"However, this will interfere with the landing operation of the carrier-based aircraft!" Babich immediately denied it.

Anyway, we have to get something that won't interfere with the landing operation, otherwise, what's the point of the angled deck?
When the British invented the angled deck, it was to make the landing and take-off of the carrier-based aircraft independent of each other, making the deck scheduling easier. Now, on a modified aircraft carrier, there is obviously an angled deck, but it didn’t work. ?
"It doesn't matter, Ah San has been used to it for a long time." Qin Tao said: "Their previous aircraft carriers didn't have angled decks, so they still use them? Although the takeoff and landing interfere with each other, they can take off directly with heavy loads!"

If the ship island is moved as a whole, it can make room for it, but it is absolutely impossible to go to war, the amount of modification is too large.

Simple modification, it has to be like this now.

"Then, we set up a further take-off point on the left side of it, and add another piece to the left side of the deck, so that a 180-meter take-off line can be made. Using the two lines together, the dispatch efficiency is absolutely high. Moreover, they all take off with heavy loads!"

As Qin Tao said, he began to point to the enlarged port side of the deck, protruding a piece, looking at the shape, it is really nondescript, but the 180-meter take-off line is also very necessary for carrier-based aircraft.

"Anyway, it will interfere, so let's just design it like this." Qin Tao said: "Two planes fly together, and the efficiency is very good. When it lands, wait for a while."

The take-off line must be arranged well. After all, it is not a matter of directly drawing a line. Behind the take-off point, a hydraulically driven flame deflector must be installed. The flame deflector will open on the deck and reduce the strength of the deck. Therefore, related The parts need to be strengthened.

It must be designed in advance, so that there can be no problems.

Yang Dawei quickly changed it according to Qin Tao's idea. Babbage looked at it for a long time, and finally nodded: "Well, your plan is a necessary compromise. Qin, there is no problem with your design, just follow This one."

Babbage is a person who pursues perfection, but now, it is not the original design, but only a modification, limited by the objective original conditions, this kind of compromise is necessary.

Although it looks nondescript.

"Okay, let's talk about the lifts next." Babich said: "In order to facilitate the deck operations of the aircraft carrier, all side lifts are used now. Since our aircraft carrier is going to be refitted, we should also install a side lift. .”

"Does the shipyard in the Far East have a thousand-ton crane?" Qin Tao asked.

Babbage frowned and thought for a while: "No."

Just kidding, the Soviets can't produce cranes of that level, so they can only be purchased. Back then, they gritted their teeth and bought two cranes from Western Europe in order to allow the Black Sea Shipyard to build aircraft carriers. Other shipyards simply don't have this capability.

"Since there is no such thing, what else should we design? After designing it, we can't construct it."

Needless to say, [-] tons, not [-] tons. The old Maozi rebuilt the aircraft carrier. There is no such a big dock, so he dug a hole directly by the river, grounded and started work. There is only a truck crane, which can lift [-] tons or [-] tons. almost.

This ski jump deck is welded little by little in this way.

Side lift?That thing is not ordinary.

The aircraft carrier has a hangar on the lower level, and the upper level is the runway. Therefore, the aircraft on the lower level have to be transported to the upper level, and elevators are needed.

In the past, a hole was made on the deck to lift the plane up. This is the inboard lift. The Kyiv class is designed in this way, and there is no problem. Anyway, it is vertical take-off and landing, but it is modified into a short-distance take-off and interception landing scheme. Yes, there are requirements for the deck.

The plane was landing, and it was hooked on the arresting wire. Before it stopped, a big hole appeared in front of it. With a thud, it fell into the hangar on the first floor, and a raging fire should follow.

During the Cold War, side lifts became popular. A hole was opened in the side for direct lifting, the deck was still intact, and takeoff and landing were not affected.

Babbage, who pursues perfection, needs to be changed, but the design is fine, but the construction is difficult!
A big guy like a side lift can weigh hundreds of tons. How can it be installed without a crane?Moreover, when installing, it is necessary to open a hole on the side of the warship first, and a crane is required to hang the cut steel plate, otherwise it will fall directly and the scaffold will be smashed to the bottom.

Without this condition, what kind of side lift is there?

Babbage could only give up.

"Let's continue to look at the ship island. The Sky Sentinel radar is too bulky and must be dismantled." Qin Tao continued to propose.

Now Qin Tao is also enjoying it. Even if he doesn't make money, designing an aircraft carrier of this level is enjoyable, not to mention there are still 300 million. Even if he has to wait until Ah San is satisfied with the design, Nicholas will Qin Tao will give money, and Qin Tao doesn't care.

In short, it was Ah San's money this time, and Ah San didn't know it yet!
Of course, the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier cannot be too strong. Of course, such a good thing as the sky sentry radar must be removed.

In the process of scanning and vectorizing the detailed drawings, a group of people were studying the overall modification plan, and after the previous project was completed, they immediately transferred to the detailed design.

In the computer room, the temperature suddenly increased. Qin Tao quickly asked someone to install the air conditioner, and everyone worked on the design day and night.

Time is also passing day by day.
