Great warships

Chapter 902 Be more courageous, we will build sixty ships
Mingzhou Shipyard.

The recent launching ceremony is very intensive, which also represents the further development of Mingzhou Group's shipbuilding technology, the technology is becoming more and more mature, and the shipbuilding cycle is getting shorter and shorter.

At the beginning, the Navy's 002 aircraft carrier was launched with great momentum. In comparison, the launch of the Aegis battleship seems to be less eye-catching. After all, four 052Cs have been launched, and everyone's attention to the Aegis battleship is not as good as it was at the beginning. Looking forward to it.

However, if you take a closer look, you can find that this Aegis battleship is very different from the previous Aegis battleship.

The hull appears to be wider and the silos appear to be larger.

In front of the hull, you can see that the silo cover has been installed in place. Unlike the previous briquette-like launcher, its silo cover has become a square, and the side length is larger!

The briquette-like launcher wastes space and seems to occupy a larger area, but in fact the number of launchers is not many.

Now, there are 32 launching devices in the front, but the square silos seem to be arranged more closely, every group of eight, a total of four groups, each group is composed of two columns of four, and the middle is the heat emission flue , looks very compact.

According to a rough estimate, the side length of these squares is already close to one meter, and the diameter of the missiles that can be accommodated inside it will be larger, which seems to far exceed the needs of Hongqi Nine.If you actually use a ruler to measure it, it is exactly 850 mm.

This is the new generation of the navy, and it is also the biggest difference between 052D and 052C!
There are 32 units of vertical launchers in the front and 32 units of vertical launchers in the back. The number of launchers carried by the entire warship has reached 64. Compared with the previous 48-unit 052C, this is a huge improvement!

Moreover, the number of missiles it can carry is not only measured by the number of launching devices, because its launching unit is large enough to allow two bombs in one pit, and four bombs in one pit. Different missiles can be selected according to needs. The flexibility has been greatly improved.

Just this kind of vertical launch device makes people feel very emotional. If you look up at the bridge, you can find that the position of the four-sided phased array radar has also changed a lot.

It has not yet been equipped with a radar, but only has a cover installed on the outside. This can prevent all kinds of wind and rain from getting dirty during the construction process. This cover is different from the previous arc mask, it is flat. .

Of course, since the 002 aircraft carrier has already been installed, it can be confirmed that this phased array radar is the same as that on the 002. It uses high-end liquid cooling technology and does not need an arc-shaped air-cooled radome. Moreover, If you measure it, you can find that its size is a circle larger than that of the previous air-cooled radar.

It used to be 3.5m*3.5m, and now it is 4m*4m. The expansion of the size means that the number of T/R components it carries increases, which means that its performance will undergo greater changes: the detection distance is longer , more targets can be tracked at the same time!
The other changes are very small, of course, because it has not been outfitted yet. After the outfitting, you can find that the meter wave search radar behind will also undergo a big change, from the former 517B to the current 517C. The radar antenna has been replaced by a fly swatter from a clothes hanger, which will not be discovered until after the outfitting.

Now, the hull has been manufactured, waiting for the arrival of launching.

The naval leaders stood at the front of the warship and stopped to watch. Wu Shengli came to the microphone and began to speak.

"A few months ago, we held the launching ceremony of the 002 aircraft carrier here, and now, we have ushered in the launching ceremony of the 052D! This is a great era. The era of our navy's violent soldiers has finally come. We have endured too much For a long time, now, the motherland is calling us to have a strong sea power! We have launched four 052C ships, and the launch of this 052D means that the number of our Aegis warships has reached five. This is just the beginning, and we will Have more Aegis battleships!"

"Today, after the launch of the 052D, we will continue the groundbreaking ceremony for the 052DL. The berth here will be busy again, and we will launch our new generation of Aegis warships. Its design is more reasonable, its technology is more advanced, and more Adapt to the needs of our Navy!"

"I think back then, when our navy was facing the American Aegis battleship, we were extremely envious, but we could only envy. When our 112 ship was launched, this destroyer, the most advanced destroyer in our country, was 20 years behind the world's advanced level. Now, we have finally caught up. Our warships have reached the most advanced level in the world, even surpassing Aegis! The current Aegis is just a passive phased array, which is an era behind our active phased array. The vertical launch unit has also been changed to a cold and hot rack, which is more advanced than Aegis!"

The adjutant at the side quietly reminded: "Leader Wu, you are digressing!"

These were mentioned at the groundbreaking ceremony later, why are you talking about them now?
Wu Shengli came back to his senses, yes, he digressed, because he was so excited, he was recalling the past and imagining the future unconsciously.

"After careful study by the Navy, the 052D destroyer that is about to be launched is named Kun*, with hull number 172! Now, let us watch it launch!"

Wu Shengli pressed the button, and the ceremony of throwing the wine bottle began. Amid the splashing champagne foam, the destroyer named No. 172 slowly launched into the water. When it entered the water, it splashed a huge splash, and everyone applauded.

The fifth Aegis warship is launched!The performance of this Aegis battleship is more advanced, representing the highest level of shipbuilding in the East, and even in the world!

Of course, in terms of advanced, Yankee’s DDG-1000 is indeed more advanced than our own, but those warships haven’t been built yet. They are different from our own warships that have already been launched. They can’t be compared. We can also make some PPT projects , taller than DDG1000.

The tugboat began to tow 052D to the outfitting dock, but the big guy didn't leave, and Wu Shengli still stayed on the original podium and continued to speak.

"Next, we will hold the groundbreaking ceremony of the 052DL. After trying four 052C and one 052D, the performance of our destroyers has continued to improve, and it has developed to the 052DL. Our destroyer technology has been developed and perfected. Next, the Navy will manufacture a large number of these destroyers. The total number of warships built will exceed 15, fully replacing our existing 051 destroyers!"

Next, Qin Tao smiled, Dad, can't you be more courageous? Are 15 ships enough for us?At least 60 ships!We want to sail freely around the world, how can we do without enough numbers?The British made Type 45, and they brag about it every day. In fact, the number is only in single digits. With this number, do you still want to navigate freely?Not even a fraction of our own.

But now, of course, Qin Tao can't reveal to his face that the old man's vision is too low. After all, at this time, no one dares to make such a bold guess. It would be nice to replace the old 051 one by one.

"Our main warships have ushered in the era of large-scale replacement, and we will continue to build more advanced warships to protect the maritime rights and interests of our motherland!"

Wu Shengli is of course talking about 055. This kind of 052-ton large-scale drive is the most important thing for the navy. It belongs to the warship that can only be owned by the strongest navy. , to say the backbone of the equipment, or [-]DL.

After all, the construction of the 055 large drive is expensive and the number of equipment is limited. After the Navy built a batch, it stopped building, but the 052DL has been started.The number keeps refreshing the upper limit, there is no maximum, only more.

Of course, it's also possible that the navy feels that the 055's large displacement of 112 tons is still a bit small, and the [-] launch units are still not enough, so it plans to continue to hold back its big moves.

Applause below.

Develop 052DL in an all-round way and replace the old 051!The Navy's warships will also enter the era of full Aegis.

Everyone is excited.

"Now, I announce that the construction of 052DL has officially started!"

Familiar cutting steel plate, bending and forming, and then welding, in the sparks of the arc, 052DL officially started construction, this warship will create a new miracle, many shipyards across the country started construction, and built more than a dozen ships at the same time. Even in a single shipyard, five ships were built at the same time, which makes people feel how fast the dumpling of the Eastern warship is.

After the ceremony was over, everyone came to the outfitting dock, intending to take a look at the 052D under outfitting. However, when they saw the 002 aircraft carrier beside them, everyone unconsciously walked towards the 002 aircraft carrier. Compared with the small destroyer , they still prefer the big guys.

002 aircraft carrier is still outfitting.

Although the catapults on the deck have been installed, the work shed has not been dismantled. It will not be dismantled until the final sea trial. Now there is no need for people there, so the door of the work shed has been closed. First of all, I went to the work shed and saw General Tie locked the door, so I turned and left helplessly, and then went to see the ship island.

Scaffolding was set up on the ship island, and various external equipment were being installed. It was inconvenient for them to visit, which would affect the progress. Until now, they looked at their feet. Various lines had been drawn on the deck itself. Lines, landing lines on the inclined deck, parking bays, etc. Looking at these lines, everyone was yearning, looking forward to the spectacular scene of this aircraft carrier's service.

At the rear of the angled deck, the blocking device has also been installed. Looking at those thick blocking cables, everyone became interested again.

Not long ago, when Ah San was testing the carrier-based aircraft, he pulled the arresting cable and broke the legs of many people. However, his own arresting cable has always been stable and reliable.

When they walked over, they felt some movement under their feet.

"Is there anyone doing construction down there?"

"They should be debugging the blocking cable. After all, this is an electromagnetic blocking cable and requires the most advanced technology." Qin Tao said.

"Okay, let's go down and have a look." The big guy became interested.

Ma Gong and his team have completed the installation and commissioning of the catapult, and are only waiting for the final sea trial. Since they have completed a full set of tests on land, they are full of confidence. The next hard nut to crack is this electromagnetic blocker. search.

"Compared to ejection, the recovery of carrier-based aircraft is more complicated." The big guys discussed as they walked: "If there is a problem with the recovery device, the carrier-based aircraft will not be able to land on the aircraft carrier, which will cause heavy losses."

"Yes, although the existing hydraulic arresting and landing technology has matured, it faces many problems. The structure is complex, the efficiency is low, and the strength of the arresting force cannot be adjusted. In the future, the force of the hydraulic arresting cable will be too high for the drone to be used. Big and easy to pull off."

"However, the reliability of the electromagnetic ejection must be guaranteed. If the carrier-based aircraft fails suddenly when it lands and cannot provide high enough resistance, the electromagnetic arresting cable will fail, and the carrier-based aircraft will also fall into the sea."

"Our electromagnetic blocking device is being tested at Huangdi Village. We have conducted more than 1000 blocking experiments, and the success rate is [-] percent." While speaking, everyone has already walked below the deck, where the electromagnetic blocking cable is, and heard this. Ma Ming immediately spoke up about the concerns of a leader.

"Ma Gong, you have worked hard. How is the installation of the electromagnetic blocking device?" Wu Shengli greeted and looked at the huge devices.

The blocking device is on the deck, and all you see is a rope and two pulleys, but below the deck, there are many devices.

The arresting cable will hook the carrier-based aircraft and provide the deceleration force to stop the carrier-based aircraft, but where does this deceleration force come from?Certainly a complex contraption below deck.

In the previous technical plan, the hydraulic cylinder was used to block the cable, and then the power of the hydraulic cylinder was used to increase the speed and decelerate. Through the combination of various pulleys and many cylinders, the deceleration force of the carrier-based aircraft was unloaded, and the huge kinetic energy It becomes the heat of hydraulic oil and dissipates into the air.

In this process, all energy is consumed.

This is not the case with the electromagnetic arresting cable, which can utilize the landing energy of the carrier-based aircraft.

"The arresting cable is connected to our conical flywheel. After the arresting cable is stretched, the conical flywheel will be pulled and rotated. The reason why the conical flywheel is used is to ensure that the resistance is as uniform as possible, so that the landing of the carrier-based aircraft It is relatively soft. At the same time, the conical flywheel will drive the water turbine, and then drive the generator to convert the energy transmitted by the carrier aircraft into electrical energy. We can adjust the deceleration torque by adjusting the excitation current of the generator, which is completely infinitely adjustable. No matter how light an airplane is, it can provide the right amount of drag."

"What about the electricity?"

"Incorporate into our ship-wide integrated power system, or directly provide the power to the flywheel energy storage device to meet the electromagnetic ejection needs of the carrier-based aircraft." Ma Ming pointed to the front.

The previous aircraft carrier still had the characteristics of the steam age. Now this aircraft carrier has used high technology. The addition of these equipments has brought the performance of the 002 aircraft carrier to a higher level and has become a modern advanced aircraft carrier with a global technical level. First.

Looking at the advanced electromagnetic blocking device, the big guy was very interested, and looked around this device for a long time.

After that, I started wandering around in various cabins, looking at the decoration of different cabins, full of interest.

"Our warship has more than 3000 compartments. In order to reduce the possibility of soldiers getting lost, we divide these compartments into several community-based organizations. Under normal circumstances, soldiers only move in one of the communities, reducing the number of visits. Lost." Qin Tao introduced to everyone.

On a warship, it is really possible to get lost. After all, it is the same everywhere. Only veterans who have served on a warship for three to five years will be more familiar with it.

"This is the living area for female soldiers." Qin Tao pointed to one of the areas and said: "We definitely need to recruit a group of female soldiers on our aircraft carrier to become a beautiful scenery in the navy."

"This is a photo studio. In the future, a special photo team will be set up on the aircraft carrier to record every bit of life. Of course, it is only for internal use. If the photos are to be taken out, they must go through the inspection of a professional department to save Leak."

"President Qin, you are very considerate." A leader said with emotion: "The sailors will definitely be proud to serve on this warship."

Qin Tao smiled: "Of course, even I want to serve on this aircraft carrier."

"No, President Qin, with your current status, you must be a captain when you are on an aircraft carrier. We have too many candidates for captain competition here, so don't join in the fun."

"Isn't the captain Zhang Zhen?" Qin Tao asked curiously.

"President Qin, do you also support Zhang Zhen? That's right, he is really the best candidate, but there are also a few strong competitors, and we will not be able to decide until the aircraft carrier officially enters service in the future."

As everyone walked and watched, unconsciously, their stomachs began to growl.

"Time flies so fast. It's already noon. It's time for us to go to the Mingzhou Group Guesthouse for a meal. The standard shouldn't be too high, just a normal meal." Wu Shengli said.

"Everyone, aren't we going to watch 052D next? It would be a waste of time to go back and forth for dinner at the guest house." Qin Tao said, "How about we solve it on the spot?"

"Is the restaurant here usable? The auxiliary engine has been ignited and tested? Or is it using the electricity provided by the land?" The big guy immediately became interested.

In the outfitting stage, the decoration of each cabin also needs power supply. When the auxiliary engine is not ignited, it needs to pull the cable from the port to use it. With power, of course, you can also live and cook.

Except for Ah San who uses gas tanks on the warships, most warships use electricity for cooking, which is safer. There are also several restaurants on this aircraft carrier, which can satisfy the use of thousands of people on board.

Is it available now?
"Not yet, but the restaurant has been renovated. We can go to the restaurant to eat, and our guest house will deliver the food." Qin Tao said.

"Do we outfitting workers also eat on the aircraft carrier?" Wu Shengli asked.

"Yes, in order to reduce the time of walking back and forth, everyone eats lunch on the aircraft carrier."

"Then let's eat with them, there is no need to be special, we will eat whatever they eat." Wu Shengli said.

"That's right, let's have a taste of the daily meals of ordinary boatmen of your Mingzhou Group." Another leader said.

The restaurants on the aircraft carrier are divided into four types, the best is of course the air crew, the pilots are of course the best, the next are officers, non-commissioned officers and ordinary sailors, etc. However, even the most ordinary sailors, at sea The food is also relatively rich. After all, only by eating well can one have physical strength and ensure combat effectiveness, especially those who do physical work.

The nearest to everyone is the ordinary restaurant. The entrance is relatively narrow, like a long passage, but the table next to it is of the right height, so that everyone can guess it at a glance.

"This is the way of buffet." Wu Shengli said: "The big guys come in and take the plate, and then move forward, taking whatever they like."

"Yes, there is a dining area inside." Following the direction of Qin Tao's finger, everyone saw the open restaurant, which can seat hundreds of people at the same time!

Because the warship has to shake back and forth, all the dining tables and chairs are fixed on the ground. The decoration here has been completed, and the dining tables and chairs are all fixed in place. The yellow tabletop and blue chairs are well matched in color.

At this time, there were still many workers eating inside. When they saw Qin Tao and others coming in, they immediately stood up and waved, and at the same time, they were holding their lunch boxes to make way for them.

"No, everyone continue to eat, get to work quickly when you're full." Wu Shengli greeted, then walked to the side of the cart, looked at some boxed lunches left in it, and said, "Can you give each of us a box? "

The chef quickly took out the lunch box and handed it to Wu Shengli respectfully.

Wu Shengli took it, and sat next to a worker with a lunch box. He opened his lunch box and saw three dishes, one meat, one vegetarian, one shrimp, and one serving of rice. Long grain incense.

"This box lunch is not bad." Wu Shengli said, "Do you usually eat like this?"

The workers on the side were flattered. Hearing his question, they quickly replied: "Yes, our usual food standard is 30 yuan per meal. These working meals are free. If there is not enough food, you can get it again."

In 2001, when a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork cost only 30 yuan, the standard of [-] yuan for a meal was already very high. This was the meal for ordinary workers!The treatment of Mingzhou Group is definitely not low, and the workers can almost save their wages.

Wu Shengli nodded: "When the time comes, our sailors will have to follow this standard when we board the aircraft carrier."

The assistant sat next to him, feeling a little emotional when he heard Wu Shengli's words, yes, only this kind of standard can make the sailors eat and drink well, but the navy's funds are still limited. How much does this sea giant cost a day?

Needless to say, the take-off and landing of the carrier-based aircraft, the burning of oil for the engine, just eating, more than 3000 people, 30 yuan per person, a meal is [-]!
Qin Tao also sat over with the lunch box. After opening it, he said with a smile on his face: "Dad, I am the best one to open this blind box. Yours has fish-flavored shredded pork in it, mine has boiled fish in it, and that one is better." , would you like some fish?"

The dishes in the lunch box are different, just like opening a blind box, full of anticipation.

Wu Shengli smiled: "Fish-flavored shredded pork is more delicious."

At this moment, Xu Zhengyang came over and whispered in Qin Tao's ear: "Mr. Qin, Vitalia has caused trouble."

Qin Tao's face changed suddenly.
