Great warships

"The improvement of this warship is more complicated than we imagined." In the conference room of Mingzhou Group, Yang Dawei, the head of the first design office, introduced to everyone: "The degree of internal chaos and the aging of the equipment are beyond our As far as I can imagine, for example, after our further investigation, many of the internal cables are lost, so we need to completely replace the new cables for the sake of insurance, which will lead to a further increase in the construction period and cost, but this is Necessary. If the brakes are frequently tripped during the use of the warship, a comprehensive rectification must be carried out at that time. At the same time, since the entire line is to be replaced, we have also replaced the generator by the way. Therefore, we also replaced the horsework Please come."

Everyone looked at Ma Ming, Ma Ming nodded, and was about to stand up and introduce something, but at this moment, Qin Tao said: "Ma Gong, how is our research on the integrated power system going?"

Electromagnetic ejection, electromagnetic blocking, and integrated electric power are all the focus of Ma Ming's research. However, considering the urgency of the problem, Ma Ming first studied the first two.

At this time, upon hearing Qin Tao's question, Ma Ming said: "We have been studying the integrated power system, but at present, it is still a bit immature to use electricity for the power of warships. , other systems are fine.”

Among the integrated power systems, one of the biggest benefits is the coordination of power and other electrical equipment. All engines are used to generate electricity and are deployed through a unified power grid. When power is needed, a large amount of power is output to the drive motor at the rear. If the radar and other equipment are required to work at full power, the power is output to the radar equipment.

Just like the gas turbine on board, this is a revolution in the power system of warships.

However, if you want to drive a warship, you need a very large motor. For example, the British Queen-class aircraft carrier is talking about an integrated power system. In fact, the propeller is directly driven by the drive shaft, and ordinary motors cannot do it at all. so big.

However, the queen class has a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, and the modern class is only a few thousand tons!

"Our diesel-electric submarines are already driven by motors, and the displacement of diesel-electric submarines is two to three thousand tons, and they are still single-axis. We only need to take the motors of the diesel-electric submarines and use two motors to drive them. Modern level, right?" Qin Tao said.

Speaking of electric propulsion, underwater submarines are the first to realize this mode of operation. After all, only batteries can be used underwater, and electric motors must be used for propulsion.

"The power is still a little bit worse." Ma Ming said: "If we use this kind of motor directly, then if our warship wants to sail at full power, the motor may overheat. Of course, if we want to use a larger We can also design a new motor, but it will take a while, and it may not be able to catch up with modern-level modifications.”

Qin Tao nodded: "In this case, there is no need to push the motor. This method is also more risky, but apart from the motor..."

"President Qin, this integrated power system is mainly to distribute power to the propulsion system. If the propulsion system is immature, can we give up?" Wu Shengli said. Instead, it is called by job title.

"No, Leader Wu, this is because you don't understand. Even if the propulsion system is immature, there are great benefits to using an integrated power system for other parts." Qin Tao said: "It may be reserved now, and it will be used later. , Our electromagnetic guns have matured and can provide sufficient power to the electromagnetic guns at any time. Our laser systems have matured and can also provide sufficient power to the laser systems. We have done it now, so we can save it and improve it later. And , since the propulsion system is immature, we just took small steps to verify its reliability, since it is going to be modified this time, it is the best opportunity."

Electromagnetic guns, laser systems?If it is placed in the ears of others, it is simply a joke, but when the electromagnetic catapult has matured, the electromagnetic gun seems to be a matter of course.

"Our electromagnetic ejection system has been tested very well at the Huangdi Village base. The principle of this system and electromagnetic guns are interoperable. Therefore, we will definitely develop electromagnetic guns in the future. The shells it accelerates will exit at a speed faster than the existing ones. It is more than three times as long as the artillery shell, and the range can easily exceed hundreds of kilometers, and more importantly, it can become an efficient anti-missile system." Qin Tao began to brag again.

In the 80s, in the American Star Wars plan, the electromagnetic gun was a very important interception device. However, it was later proved to be a scam, but now, with the smooth progress of the electromagnetic ejection system, this thing is no longer a castle in the air.

Take the current electromagnetic catapult as an example, which can accelerate a [-]-[-] ton carrier-based aircraft to a speed of [-] to [-] kilometers per hour, so what if it only accelerates a one-ton warhead?The speed of thousands of kilometers per hour can always be achieved. (The expression for kinetic energy is mass times velocity squared, so velocity is a quadratic relationship. This is just a rough calculation.)
Even if the electromagnetic catapult is reduced to the size of a naval gun, the warhead is also shrunk simultaneously, down to a few hundred kilograms, and even if it is to hit outer space, it is only a warhead of tens of kilograms, so the firing speed is still high enough.

The other is the laser weapon, which is also a product of Star Wars, but with the continuous advancement of technology, this thing will gradually mature.

At this time, after hearing what Qin Tao said, Wu Shengli also began to think: "Anti-missile system?"

"That's right, although we have repeatedly opposed certain countries' unilateral development of anti-missile systems and the construction of unilateral absolute security to undermine the global strategic balance, our protests are useless, and we can only rely on our own strength to develop The same weapon." Qin Tao said: "Our navy has an inherent advantage over land forces, and we can expand this umbrella even further. Land-based anti-missile weapons can only intercept missiles in the descending stage, and our navy can intercept them. The mid-course goal of outer space flight."

Everyone was lost in thought.

In the wars in the oil region in previous years, the Patriots frequently showed off and intercepted many Scud missiles.

Regardless of bragging or what, in short, this greatly increased the confidence of the Yankees. After the end of this war, they began to decide to build a missile defense system, and it was divided into several steps: the first is to establish the "theater missile defense system" Defense" (TMD) system, followed by the development and deployment of the "National Missile Defense" (NMD) system, and finally the establishment of a global protection system.

As far as the Navy is concerned, the Navy also has its own dedicated "Naval Area Defense" (NAD) system.This defense system is completed by the Navy's "Aegis" system and "standard" missiles. It first has the ability to detect and track incoming tactical ballistic missiles, and finally gradually transitions to the "Naval Total Theater Defense" (NTWD) system, which is To intercept flying targets in outer space, the minimum interception altitude is 80 kilometers, and the maximum interception altitude is 500 kilometers.

The Americans tailor their own missile defense system in this way. When the East has a special anti-ship ballistic missile, the development of this system is even more urgent.However, so far, it is still in the research and development stage.

Qin Tao proposed a new idea: use electromagnetic guns and laser weapons to intercept, so that warships need a large amount of power supply, which can only be realized through an integrated power system!
"Right now, using these things to anti-missile is still a bit sci-fi." Finally, a naval officer spoke.

"Of course. Needless to say, it's just electromagnetic ejection, which looks full of science fiction. Haven't we realized it yet? And stealth fighters, don't they look full of science fiction?" Qin Tao said in his tone With confidence: "Our technology is to make others feel like science fiction!"

This is the confidence brought by powerful technology!Others have your fuck and fuck, we gotta have *fuck!
"Yes, we should also develop a similar system. At present, the air force still relies on the modification of the Hongqi-[-] missile to intercept. Our navy can't always rely on off-the-shelf ones, and we have to develop it. The missile defense system also You have to prepare, it is necessary to reserve a certain amount of power reserve, let's use the integrated power system." Wu Shengli nodded.

Wu Shengli nodded, and that was it!Ma Ming looked at Qin Tao with grateful eyes.

In fact, what Qin Tao said is meaningless at all. Whether it is an electromagnetic gun or a laser cannon, it will take a long time. It is definitely not what the integrated power system currently planned can provide.

Qin Tao has been fooling around for a long time. In fact, he wants to give Ma Ming a platform to use the integrated power system. He will never be able to mature if he does not install it on a warship for experimentation. This time, he will first modify the modern class. It can be installed on more warships.

In fact, the modern class does not really need an integrated power system. What is needed is the Aegis battleship, the warship with four-sided phased array radar, which requires a large power supply, and the integrated power system can be better coordinated. Now, change the modern class With this system, there will be no problem after the sea trial, and the Aegis battleship can be used.

There are also some old antiques in the navy, who are full of doubts about new technologies, so we can't expect them to agree to use the integrated power system on the Aegis battleship all at once, and they have to coordinate slowly.

At this moment, since the matter has been decided, Qin Tao has to change the topic quickly so as not to be brought up by someone again.

"By the way, our Hongqi-16 missile can increase the range to 70 kilometers. If our Hongqi-[-] missile has a range of only [-] kilometers, then it can't be justified? I don't know how it is developed over there. ?”

Although the Navy's Hongqi IX was only installed on the 052B and 052C, the Air Force's Hongqi IX has been serving on the ground for several years. It should be changed now, right?
"Yes, we have a new solid propellant, of course it can also be used on the Hongqi-150. After using this propellant, the range of the Hongqi-[-] missile can also be greatly increased. It is no problem to reach [-] kilometers. Moreover, there is no change in volume, so it can be plugged into our existing launcher."

"It's only 150 kilometers? There's no such thing as [-] kilometers. How dare you show it to others."

"I haven't finished yet. If they continue to optimize the trajectory, the target of [-] kilometers can still be achieved."

Qin Tao's eyes brightened: "Okay, that's about the same!"

Two hundred kilometers, then it can support a good air defense network for the fleet. With the cruising radius of four to five hundred kilometers of the carrier-based aircraft, the entire fleet will have a safe environment.

When the 346 radar used on the Aegis battleship was developed, higher requirements were put forward. It was necessary to capture the echoes of its own missiles at a longer distance for easy guidance. At that time, some people complained. Now it seems that at that time ready to use now.

"Cough, cough." Yang Dawei coughed: "Boss Qin, our current meeting is about modern-level modification."

Qin Tao said more and more, the big guys can wait, the leaders of the navy can't wait, they have to finish the modification project of the modern-class destroyer quickly, so that it will be convenient for the next modification, the leaders make decisions on the spot, compared to them running again and again The capital is much stronger.

"Well, keep talking." Qin Tao also found that he started to run the train, so he stopped quickly.

On this day, the modification was officially finalized, and the details that needed to be modified were directly carried out through the computer at a very fast speed, which made the naval leaders very moved.

Wu Shengli stayed for another night before returning to the capital. Qin Tao stayed in Mingzhou to celebrate the new year with his wife.

"Your idea is really advanced enough. You actually want to use an integrated electric propulsion system on this warship." Zhao Ling stood in front of the office window, watching the busy scene on the dock in the distance, and said to Qin Tao.

"Of course, this is a step that must be taken, and, first, experiment on this old ship. Even if something goes wrong, you don't have to worry about affecting the combat effectiveness of the navy."

The integrated electric propulsion system is brand new, so all countries are very careful when using it. First of all, they use warships with low power consumption, such as landing ships and helicopter carriers.

These warships use diesel engines as power, so it is more convenient to arrange generators. After experimenting first, they will be extended to gas turbine warships when they mature later.

Our side uses this modern-class ship to improve, using steam turbines similar to diesel engines, and then using gas turbines when it matures.

"You really dare to think of it as your big toy." Zhao Ling said with emotion: "Well, anyway, Mingzhou Group has money, so you can do whatever you want."

"I can toss as much as I want?"

Seeing Qin Tao's gaze, Zhao Ling suddenly thought of something: "No, absolutely not, it's broad daylight, and you're still in the office, you..."

dong dong!

At this moment, the door of the office rang untimely, and Qin Tao shouted angrily, "Who?"

"President Qin, I have something to report to you."

Qin Tao sat back on the soft leather sofa helplessly: "Come in."

When Xu Zhengyang walked in, he saw that Zhao Ling was arranging her clothes with her head down, and felt a little inappropriate, but since she came, she had to report quickly.

"President Qin, Three Zero Company has announced that not only the imported vehicles through formal trading channels, even if they are imported through other channels, as long as they are Pajero V31 and V33, they will conduct free inspections, and if necessary, they will conduct free inspections. replace."

Qin Tao nodded: "That's pretty much the same. If I had known today why bother, if I had agreed so readily from the beginning, could I have taken the entire devil's car into the ditch?"

After finishing speaking, Qin Tao thought of something else: "On this matter, is it worth reporting to me so solemnly?"

"President Qin, the leader of the [-]th Group, wants to meet you."

This is the most important!
A series of combined punches continued, and San Zero also had a headache, so they wanted to turn hostility into friendship, and they wanted to negotiate with Qin Tao!
"Okay, come on, China is a country of etiquette, and this kind of hospitality still exists."

"President Qin, where do you meet him? Do you want to be in Huating?"

"Huating? Why?" Qin Tao said: "Afraid that he will see the bustling scene of our shipyard? We just want him to see... Wait, let's forget it and go to Huating, after all, it is an international metropolis, and, Let's take them to the Aircraft Carrier Park, especially our Sino-Japanese War Memorial Hall!"

Zhao Ling frowned: "Brother Tao, will this arrangement cause any diplomatic disputes?"

"Can there be any diplomatic disputes? I want to tell them that we will never forget the history of humiliation! Let them also remember that they are defeated countries!" Qin Tao said.

Anyway, Huating also has the Mingzhou Group's shipyard, which produces all civilian ships, so it's good to meet the islanders there.

"Xiaoling, are you okay recently?"

Zhao Ling nodded.

"Then come with me. After going to Huating, we'll go back to the capital, pick up Haiyang, and go to Shuangsha Island for vacation together."

Huating, Chongming Island.

"President Qin, the flow of people in our aircraft carrier park has become less and less." The person in charge of the aircraft carrier park said: "Although it is still profitable now, if this trend continues, in a year or two, it may be less Group subsidies are needed."

Qin Tao nodded: "This is for sure. After all, the locals will not come again after seeing it a few times. They can only rely on the passenger flow from outside. Let's stop like this first. When we can't maintain it in the future, we will think about it." way."

Qin Tao has long been prepared for this. Now, the domestic economy is constantly developing, people's lives are getting richer, and more and more people are traveling, so maybe it will pick up.If there is really no traffic, there are other ways, for example, to develop new projects, or to drag it to other cities.

Take it easy now.

The person in charge nodded, and when the big guy was talking, several Crown cars drove over, looking very impressive.

"Boss Qin, the guests have arrived." Xu Zhengyang said.

"Well, let them come in and drive all the way to the pier."

The entire aircraft carrier park covers a very large area, and there are various places to eat, drink and play outside. It is estimated that foreigners are not interested, so just invite them to see the aircraft carrier.

Of course, Qin Tao would not go to the gate of the park to meet him. Waiting by the side of the aircraft carrier is enough to give him face.

The convoy continued to drive forward. Although it was the off-season now, there were also tourists in twos and threes. When they saw the convoy driving in, they were very curious. Who is this person who can drive the car in?

Iwasaki Konosuke looked outside. There were various weapons and equipment, and even a few old planes docked. However, his eyes finally settled on the huge warship.

"Hmph, they underestimated us too much, that Mr. Qin didn't greet us at the door!" Masuyama Yumon beside Konosuke Iwasaki said angrily.

"Masuyama-kun, don't forget what we are here for." Iwasaki Konosuke said: "If someone secretly sabotaged our natural gas ship and then came to apologize, what would you do to him?"

"I'll tear him to shreds!" said Zengshan Xiongshou.

After finishing speaking, he realized: "But, we are [-]! No matter where we go, even if we arrive in the United States, we will be treated politely, but here, we don't even get greeted at the door. This is clearly an insult to us! "

"Zengshan, you still don't understand. We are here to do business, we must be polite, and after you go down, don't show your rudeness."

"Yes."

When the car stopped, there was a row of people standing outside. Among them was a young man with a bright smile on his face. Beside him was a heroic woman. They looked like a perfect match.

"Mr. Yanqi, welcome to our Mingzhou Group for inspection. You started out as a shipbuilder, so I set up the reception place on our aircraft carrier park. I hope you don't dislike it."

"President Qin, you are too polite. Your youth is beyond my imagination, just like the Mingzhou Group, full of vitality."

Iwasaki Konosuke was very emotional. Generally speaking, the helm of a large consortium is very old, old, and experienced, so that they can deal with various things.

Where is Qin Tao in front of him?It is not easy to lead Mingzhou Group to become one of the world's shipbuilding giants at such a young age!

"There is an old saying in the East that ginger is hotter than old. In front of you, my youth is not an advantage."

The two smiled, and the greetings were completed.

After introducing the people around him, Iwasaki Konosuke looked at this huge aircraft carrier: "Back then, it was a giant at sea, but now, it can only dock here quietly for people to admire. For it, this is A kind of sadness."

"But it's a blessing for us, don't you think, Mr. Dying?"

Iwasaki Konosuke nodded: "Yeah, it's lucky for us, we had a common enemy back then, and the relationship was still very good, but now, we have created some estrangements, I hope we can eliminate the estrangement this time, as before. Just as intimate."
