Chapter 131 Chapter 444 Shipyard

  Although Lao Maozi is considered backward, in fact, this power system can still play its residual heat, even in the 21st century.

In 2021, Sange Navy's P-15B guided missile destroyer Visakhapatnam will enter service. They are very excited about it. The four-sided phased array radar on the mast and the vertical launch system on the deck make Sange's self-confidence burst. , I think this kind of destroyer is already stronger than Dongfang's 052D.

   Its power system is composed of 2 Ermao "Shuguang" M36E power packs and 2 Rolls-Royce KVM-18 diesel engines (single power 7400 kilowatts). One of the M36E power packs includes two UGT-16000 gas turbines.

That's right, it is the GTD-16000 that is considered outdated now. If Qin Tao guessed correctly, the batch of gas turbines used on the third brother's warship are the ones that Popov has exchanged with Qin Tao. . The gas turbine that had fallen into the ashes in the warehouse in the 1990s was refurbished by Ermao and sold to the third brother to make money.

Of course, this also reveals the sad reminder of the Shuguang Consortium from the side. They sold the most advanced UGT-25000 technology to China, so that the warships in the East can make dumplings, but they themselves have no ability to produce advanced UGT-25000. Gas turbines, the only thing left is to sell junk.

   Now, Qin Tao has directly wrapped her up.

For the Shuguang Consortium, it is very unethical to do so, but for Popov, it is best to get the benefits first. A batch of these materials will fall into his design bureau. To make the lives of his subordinates better, there are also a large number of them, who will get them on the black market and make his mouth full of oil.

   Anyway, after a few more years, he should retire. Get some cash before you retire.

  When the Soviet Union collapsed, few people stood up to oppose it. Most people cheered and enjoyed themselves on the corpse of the Soviet Union. Now, these people can't wait.

  For Qin Tao, this is a good opportunity!

  Wu Shengli was in a state of excitement.

  The navy’s power system has always been a big problem, so after the construction of two 052 destroyers started, the next construction is almost zero, because there is no qualified power system, and some people even started to wonder whether they should continue to use boilers.

   Now, with these four engines, two more can be built! He really can't wait!

   "Uncle Wu, I helped solve this power system. If warships are to be built in the future, should the navy consider our shipyard?" Qin Tao put forward his request in a timely manner.

   When he came here this time, Qin Tao only acted as an intermediary, and didn't make any difference. He must get some benefits for his shipyard, right?

  Hearing what Qin Tao said, Wu Shengli said casually: "Well, Taozi, I am not the only one who decides to build a warship."

"Tch, what you say doesn't matter. Now, what I want is your attitude. You have said it many times. The navy will not forget my credit. The navy must show it?" Qin Tao glanced contemptuously. Wu Shengli glanced at Wu Shengli: "Besides, the navy has also seen our capabilities through our building missile boats. If we build large warships, it will also be groundbreaking. Using the world's cutting-edge design concepts, we will build a navy for the navy." A warship that crosses the ages."

  Wu Shengli nodded solemnly: "Well, I will help in it, but the specific construction still has to wait for the decision of the superior."

   "It's about the same. I've laid the groundwork. When it's time for the transaction, we may be able to get back more things." Qin Tao said.

  Wu Shengli's eyes lit up: "Taozi, don't worry, I will try my best to fight for you."

  Qin Tao's foreshadowing, of course, is the three-dimensional method, which has already planted seeds in Sergey's heart, and will slowly germinate in the future.

   "Well, also, I have already told Nikolai that we will go to their shipyard to inspect tomorrow. If there is a chance, we can board the heavy aircraft cruiser they are building."

What?

  Wu Shengli gasped again. How could there be such a chance?

  Of course, the things we talked about today will be given to Nicholas at a ratio of half. This time, Nicholas will make a fortune again, so why not let him take a tour of the shipyard?

   If you want to talk about confidentiality, it is indeed a secret. However, in the 1980s, when the Navy went to the United States, it even boarded an American aircraft carrier to visit. Now I go to Lao Maozi’s warship to see it.

   Speaking of Nikolayev Shipyard, it is easy to think of the famous Black Sea Shipyard.

In fact, in Nikolayev, there are two shipyards, one of which is the 444th shipyard in the south of the city. This shipyard is the largest Soviet shipyard and the only heavy aircraft cruiser manufacturing plant. At the same time, In the north of the city, there is also a No. 445 shipyard and a shipyard named 61 Commune Members. Although this shipyard is not well-known, it is also very powerful. All the large anti-submarine ships and guided missile cruisers of Lao Maozi come from here. For example, the famous "Cresta", "Kara" and even the "Glorious" class all come from this shipyard.

  So, before the end of the banquet, Qin Tao agreed with Nicholas that this is the 444th shipyard.

  When the morning sun shone on the earth, the entire city of Nikolayev was busy again, and the Black Sea Shipyard on the southern coast also started a busy day.

  An old man with a wide body and a fat body walked on the No. 0 berth. It was already summer, and the warm sea breeze blew in, which made him feel very comfortable. He was wearing work clothes of the shipyard, feeling refreshed.

   "Our order 107, the construction is going well." Right next to him, a somewhat thin man walked beside him. Judging by his age, he looked about seven or eight years younger than the old man, and he was more energetic.

   "Yes, everything is going well, but we can't be careless. Let's go around with the order 106." The old man said.

   "Yes, let's walk along Makarov Avenue again."

  The face of the old man was full of energy. That's right, he was Yuri Ivanovich Makarov, the director of the Black Sea Shipyard.

  Since he joined the work, he has been diligent and conscientious. He became the chief engineer of the shipyard in 1976 and the director of the shipyard in 1979. Under his hands, the most powerful Soviet warship was continuously launched.

  Order 105, also known as "Project 1143.5", has already started launching, and is currently undergoing sea trials and making some adjustments. (The name of the ship is "Tbilisi", but it was renamed "Brezhnev" shortly after the construction started, and then successively renamed "Tbilisi" and "Kuznetsov")

The second ship, order 106, (1143.6) was launched in 1988, and the berth was freed up for order 107 to be welded. Now, order 106 is undergoing outfitting, and the overall construction work has been completed by 50%. , It won't be long before it's time to go into the water and outfitting. (This warship is still called Riga at present, but it took a few months to change the name. In July 1990, in memory of the cruiser "Varyag" that sank in the "Russian-Japanese War", the old Maozi changed its name to "Varyag". That's right, it is the Varyag. Let the hero of East China take you to take a look at it first!)

  They just finished inspecting 107, and they are planning to go to 106 again.

Since the outfitting of Order 105, and even those warships earlier, Makarov has to go up and walk every day, and finally hold a ten-minute on-site meeting in the hangar to review the problems or omissions found on the spot. Whoever is responsible will be "rebuked".

   Over time, the people in the shipyard called the road he took Makarov Avenue. This avenue reflects Makarov's loyalty to the Soviet and his meticulousness in shipbuilding.

   (The Chinkarov Avenue at the beginning of this book is imitated.)

Walking beside Makarov was Valery Vasilyevich Babich, who was the director of the design office of Project 1143 and was also in charge of supervising it. Therefore, he also participated in these heavy loads. The design and construction of aircraft cruisers, almost every day to follow Makarov around.

   Just then, someone hurried over.

   "Report, factory manager, director, Your Excellency Nicholas is here."

  Nicolas is here?

   Makarov nodded: "Tell him to go to Order 106, we will talk there."

Makarov's daily work is very intense, so even if someone comes to visit, he can't delay the work, just walk and talk on the order 106. Anyway, these people usually come to see the heavy load. machine cruiser.

   It's just that he didn't know that Nicholas came with an oriental guest. When the two sides met, it was impossible for him to refuse again.

  Wu Shengli and other naval officers were extremely excited. The car they were riding in drove directly to the outfitting dock, and then, led by Nicholas, they boarded the tall warship.

  In the past, most of them have come into contact with the largest warships, which are comprehensive supply ships. Those ships were originally very tall, but now they look very small.

   "This warship is really too big!" Someone kept expressing emotion.

Nikolai is also very happy. Bringing these people here today is considered a benefit of the project that was negotiated yesterday. If they want to see it, just take them to see it. Makarov is really kind enough to let them come here .

   Then, at the bridge, Makarov and Babich came out. When he saw the eastern face, Makarov was obviously taken aback.

   "Director Makarov, nice to meet you." Nikolai greeted excitedly.

  At this moment, Makarov could only feel countless grass and mud horses drifting past his heart. (Russian doesn't say that, but that's how the hero of East China is described.)

  Who told you to bring foreigners? This is our latest heavy aircraft cruiser! You want to show them around, why don't you take them to the two warships that are already in service in your fleet?

However, Makarov couldn't let it out. He rolled his eyes and thought of a solution. It doesn't matter if they just let these people look at the steel plate here. What flowers come out?

   "It's nice to meet you too, especially the guests from the east. You are very welcome. Now, I will take you on a walk on the deck." Makarov said, pushing his black-rimmed glasses.

  Before the 1143.4 warship, their decks were still very messy. The left side was the flight deck, which was fairly empty, but the bow was occupied by thick cylinders, where Maozi’s characteristic long-range supersonic anti-ship missiles were located.

  Anyway, they operate the Yak-38 that takes off and lands vertically. Even because of the problem of the exhaust burning the flight deck, these aircraft are rarely deployed. The Yak-38 is deployed on land, and these warships are reduced to helicopter carriers.

  So, Lao Maozi is right to call these aircraft carriers heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruisers. They are really working as cruisers.

   However, these third-generation heavy aircraft cruisers are different.

   It is already a whole deck. Although the upturned deck on the bow side is still a bit pleasant, I have to say that this warship is already closer to an aircraft carrier.

  Of course, people can still call it that.

  Western aircraft carriers are platforms that carry fighter jets. Carriers have limited self-defense capabilities, and all attacks must be achieved by carrier-based aircraft. Intercepting anti-ship missiles and the like depends on other warships escorting them.

However, Lao Maozi's heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser is different. Just under the front flight deck, there are 12 3K-45 "Granite" anti-ship missile reflectors. These missiles have a maximum range of 550 kilometers and are anti-aircraft carriers. weapon.

There are four 6-unit 9M330 missile vertical launch systems arranged on the front and rear four side platforms on both sides of its flight deck. Each unit is equipped with 8 bombs, and a total of 192 bombs are prepared. The short-range protection is first-class; The platform is also equipped with 8 CADS-N-1 "Kashtan" ship-borne artillery combined with anti-aircraft weapon systems, and 4 AK630 6-tube 30mm guns...

   It can be said that even if there is only one of them, it can rush out to fight. No need for guards with knives.

   At this time, everyone stepped on the wide deck and walked forward. When he reached the side of the wide bridge, Qin Tao said, "You are the first to install a four-sided phased array radar on an aircraft carrier."

  If you want to guide the nearly 200 anti-aircraft missiles, you must have a suitable electronic system. For the old man, there is only this kind of sky sentinel radar system.

This also reflects Lao Maozi's backwardness in the electronic field. The American Aegis warships have begun to launch one after another, but Lao Maozi still does not have such a special air defense ship. Their sky sentinel radar, After being successfully developed in the 1980s, it is currently only used on aircraft carriers of 1143.4 and later models.

   "Of course, our aircraft carrier has a strong air search capability." Babbage took over the conversation.

"Have you ever thought about installing this large four-sided phased array radar on a Type 1155 anti-submarine destroyer, and then transplanting the vertical launch system to create an air defense ship similar to the Aegis destroyer?" Qin Tao pointed Jiangshan again.

  As soon as he said this, Lao Maozi's warship experts immediately opened their eyes wide in surprise.
