In the city, I am the owner of paradise island

A strong warship first needs a strong heart to support.

But in the early days of the founding of the republic, it was poor and white, and technically it has been blocked by Europe and the United States, so it was born with stunted development. Now it has been catching up for decades, introducing a lot of Ukrainian engine technology, but it is just paying for the backwardness of the past.

If you want to become a naval power in one step, it is difficult to pass the level of engine.

The review meeting lasted for several days without progress.

The atmosphere is incomparably dignified.

This day.

The meeting was held again, and the generals of the fleets attending the meeting were extremely gloomy.

In recent years, the country is in a period of strategic expansion, actively expanding its influence in the world, and the “Silk Road” plan is also being implemented globally.

And this, more need a powerful fleet as a guarantee.

If the Type 055 10,000-ton destroyer cannot be launched smoothly, how can the navy guarantee its combat strength and how to protect the national strategy, in case the chain is dropped at a critical moment, they will be eternal sinners of the country and the nation.

The experts attending the meeting frowned one by one, and their faces were sad.

They are engaged in technology, on the 055, many advanced functions have been drastically cut, just to reduce the burden on the engine, but who knows, the technology imported from Ukraine is so unreliable, the DA80 engine is too disappointing for them.

“This time the 701 Institute is relaxed, 055 has no business for them, and they don’t have to bear this responsibility.”

An expert lamented.

“Fortunately, 055 is not the design of the 701 Institute, otherwise, with their bold and aggressive design style, 4 engines must be completely lying down!”

“The DA80 engine is still a product of the Soviet era of the last century, and it is difficult to adapt to modern ships.”

“Academician Zhu Hongguang of the 701 Institute has long said that DA80 is unreliable.”

Because of the snub, the Navy 701 has not participated in various research and development work recently, nor has it participated in this meeting.

Originally, the experts of other institutes gradually looked down on this outdated research institute, but now, in the face of the pressure of mountains and seas, they are envious of the leisure of 701.

The meeting went on for another day, and there was still little attention.

If it goes on like this, it can be predicted that the Type 055 10,000-ton destroyer is likely to fall into a long period of grounding, which is something that no one wants to see.

The entire conference hall was extremely dull, and several leaders smoked cigarettes one after another…

Just near the end of the meeting.

A secretary walked in with a document from the Government Council about the preliminary agreement to the Paradise Island Arms Procurement Program.

“How can these little things still get to the meeting.”

Minister Xia of the General Armament Department pressed the cigarette butt in his hand and said with some irritation.

“Minister Xia, it was specially approved by the head of the State Council, saying that there is some information on it that may be extremely important to us.”

The secretary pulled out a few pieces of paper from the document and handed them over.

Minister Xia took the paper and glanced at it casually, and then, his eyes were completely stunned… On the paper, there is a table of parameters of a gas turbine engine called “Sea Lion-1”.

Including horsepower, fuel efficiency, thrust-to-weight ratio, working life, etc., each of which is world-class!

“Oops!”

Minister Xia looked too seriously, one was not careful, he was burned by the cigarette butt, and he screamed in pain.

There was also a burst of laughter in the four places, but they rarely saw Minister Xia, who had always been serious, also have such a gaffe.

“Laugh or laugh, take a look at this parameter table!”

Minister Xia had no intention of joking, and the expression on his face was very serious, even a little sacred.

Experts from other research institutes, admirals, all gathered around and passed the papers… When he saw the above line of parameters, the faces of everyone present became trembling!

“Looking at the parameters alone, the performance of the Sea Lion-1 engine has comprehensively surpassed the Ukrainian DA80!”

“Not only the Ukrainian DA80, I see, the LM-2500 on the Ali Burke class of the Bimi Army is not weak at all, which is definitely world-class!”

“This is the super heart of a warship…”

All the experts and generals were excited.

“You all tell me, if you replace with such a sea lion engine, can our 055 be launched smoothly, what will be the situation of combat effectiveness?”

Minister Xia asked everyone again.

“Report Minister Xia, the sea lion engine is powerful, if it can be equipped, our 055 can install more weapons and equipment, and the combat effectiveness will be increased by at least 30%!”

“Increase the speed by at least 5 knots, and the range can be increased by 35%!”

“Minister Xia, I promise you that if the Sea Lion engine is equipped, 055 will be a world’s first-line destroyer!”

The experts of the various research institutes patted their chests one by one and assured.

“Minister Xia, this sea lion engine, we have never heard of it, which country’s latest product is this, France, dé country, or Sweden, a military-industrial power?”

An expert asked.

“Will there be any political strings attached, these Omi countries like to do this the most.”

Some people also said worriedly.

Many European and American technologies, when exporting to the United States, will require the signing of various unequal conditions, such as opening certain markets and voting in favor of the United Nations.

Faced with this, Minister Xia nodded slightly, and then said with a hint of pride:

“This Sea Lion-1 engine is produced by China’s paradise island, which can also be said to be a purely domestic engine. And if all goes well, it will be supplied to the state within a week to serve as the main engine of the 055. ”

After Minister Xia finished speaking, there was silence for a while.

Everyone thought they had misheard…

Paradise Island, it is incredible that a ship engine has been produced silently, but it is world-class!

“If it is supplied within a week, then our 055 will be able to launch the sea again in half a month…”

An old designer of 055 said almost ecstatically.

He was so excited!

Others are in similar state.

These days, they have really experienced hellish suffering, and they are really afraid that they will be ashamed of the burden on them, drag down the development of the country, and even, become sinners of the country and the nation.

However, the Sea Lion engine on Paradise Island not only perfectly solved the problem, but also made the 055 designed by them become the world’s first-line destroyer!

This feeling of going from hell to heaven in an instant, how could they not be excited.

At this time, the entire venue.

Only Minister Xia, who has experienced the war, can be calm as usual.

“Don’t be too excited, Paradise Island provides a strong heart for the country’s navy, and the country must do its best to meet the requirements of Paradise Island.”

Minister Xia said.

He then asked the secretary to read out the arms procurement catalogue for Paradise Island.

First of all, there are various types of missiles, including: Haihongqi-9 air defense missile X100, Yingjing-18 supersonic anti-ship missile X100, Changyun-class anti-submarine missile X20, Yu-5 anti-submarine torpedo X20, Changjian-10 cruise missile X100…

Marine electrical equipment: Type 346A phased array radar X4, Type 206 linear array towed sonar X4…

Fire equipment: H / PJ-45A 130mm naval gun X2, 730 type close-in gun X4 …

Seeing this, all the experts and generals were obviously flustered, even Minister Xia couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, what is this paradise island for, is this to produce warships?!

What shocked them even more was the requirements for talents on Paradise Island.

Paradise Island hopes to recruit a group of skilled workers from the Jiangnan Shipyard, and the number of workers named for the aircraft carrier dock is about 200.

and, the request to recruit the entire 701 Institute.

“This is too much, the 701 Research Institute, founded in 1961, is a comprehensive ship research institute under the Navy, with several academicians, more than 700 top military science and technology talents of all kinds, does Paradise Island want to swallow it in one go?!”

A vice admiral of the East China Sea Fleet slapped the table hard and said loudly.

I want to poach a large military research institute of a country, Paradise Island, and my appetite is a little too big!
