Chapter 259 Large Straight Deck 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.

  Because of the continuous coordination and not much rest, Wu Shengli's eyes were bloodshot, but 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 in the Pacific Fleet's technical department."

Qin Tao introduced the people he brought with him to Wu Shengli. Because of these old men, it was inconvenient for Wu Shengli to say anything, so he 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 as soon as possible. By the way, are you ready?"

   "We have mobilized enough people and equipment overnight, and 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 bit of a headache. He glanced at the window, and the sun had already shone in. 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, 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 and walked forward from the dormitory area. Then, he saw trucks unloading goods, and 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 can there be such a thing?

  Yang Dawei hesitated for a moment, and then recognized it. Among the people who carried it together, there seemed to be Yang Zhaoxiang and Zhang Chao? 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 are here, 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 going to be launched here?

   "Designers, now go to the conference room in the northeast corner for a meeting!" Someone began to convey the message.

   Meeting?

  A staircase conference room that can seat hundreds of people?

  Yang Dawei suddenly had a fire burning in his heart, this must be some great mission!

  By the time he entered, the conference room was already packed with a large crowd, at least hundreds of people.

  Babbage was sitting excitedly on the rostrum. On his left were Qin Tao and Mr. Pan, and on his right were several old men.

   "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 definitely 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, but as long as the project is completed, everyone will get a salary and bonus of 2,000 yuan!"

   In less than a month, earning 2,000 yuan was absolutely unprecedented. However, the people present were not excited about the money. At this time, they were all paying attention to this design task.

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

  Especially, 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 person in charge of this project."

   Qin Tao said, and pointed to Babbage beside him.

What? Mao update?

  Mao Gengxin, of course, is 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, to start a life, to renew Vientiane.

  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 40,000-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."

  Large 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?

  President Qin, can't you be more straightforward?

  Although the big guy complained a bit, after reacting, his face was full of ecstasy.

   40,000-ton class, aircraft carrier refit, needless to say? The answer is already there.

  President Qin, are you too good? Is this kind of project available? How did you bid with Lao Maozi?

  President Qin, let’s do it even if we don’t pay, this is the most valuable experience!

  Countless people became excited, and there was no need for mobilization at all with that yelling energy!

   "For the sake of simplicity, we call this project the 2001 project, and everyone will use this code name to call it in the future." Qin Tao also felt that a 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 30,000-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 50,000-ton aircraft carrier plan, steam power, steam catapult, etc., and there will be more than one hundred in the end. Reports, millions of words of research.

  However, that was 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 1995, he even gave a Spanish company several million dollars in consulting fees, aiming at the other party's 25,000-ton SAC-220 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 motherland to produce aircraft carriers in the future!

  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 realized it.

"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, is a pseudonym of Leonid.

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.

  The paper design drawings were disassembled, stuffed into the scanner, into the computer, and then repacked into the original shape, and then 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)

   What is difficult 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. OK.

   This requires the high-priced server to run at full power. After all, its computing power can almost reach half 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 looked at the blueprints one after another, and they were extremely excited. This was the first time they had access to 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 didn't adapt to computer graphics in advance, then we probably wouldn't have the opportunity 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 they 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, realizing the advancement of this kind of graphics.

  When you need to make changes, you only need to make changes 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, not too much, or the hull structure is not strong enough to support." 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.

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

  When he was 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. 3 long-distance take-off point.

  This take-off point has to fly over the angled deck area, which will hinder 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 warships of 60,000 to 70,000 tons, this design is fine, but when put on an aircraft carrier of 40,000 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!

  Ninety 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, and you can set up a take-off point in the middle of the ship island, so that it will be almost 160 meters away, which is directly the heavy-load 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?

At the beginning, the British invented the angled deck to make the landing and take-off of 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 not possible 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, and the two lines can be used together to increase the dispatch efficiency." Absolutely high, and all take off with heavy loads!"

  Qin Tao said, and began to point to the area on the port side of the enlarged deck, protruding a piece, looking at the shape, it is really nondescript, but a take-off line of 180 meters 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 without any 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 couldn’t produce cranes of that level, they had to buy them out. 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 one, what else should we design? After the design, we can't construct it."

Needless to say, 1,000 tons, not 200 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 10 tons or 20 tons. about there.

  This ski jump deck was welded bit by bit in this way.

   Side lift? That thing is not ordinary.

  The aircraft carrier has a hangar on the lower floor and a runway on the upper floor. Therefore, if the aircraft on the lower floor have to be transported to the upper floor, an elevator is needed.

In the past, a hole was made on the deck to lift the plane up. This is the inboard lift. The Kiev 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 also caught on the arresting wire. Before it stopped, a big hole appeared in front of it. After a plop, it fell into the hangar on the first floor, and a raging fire should follow.

  Cold War take-off and landing, side lifts became popular, open an opening on the side, directly lift, the deck is still intact, take-off and landing will not be affected.

  Babbage, who pursues perfection, needs to be changed, but the design is fine, but the construction is difficult!

  Side lifts are such a big guy, they weigh hundreds of tons, how can they 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 had no choice but to 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 not bad. Only Qin Tao will be given money, and Qin Tao doesn't care.

  In short, this time it was Ah San's money, and Ah San didn't know it yet!

  Of course the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier should not be too strong. Of course, such a good thing as the Sky Sentinel Radar must be dismantled.

  During 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.
