Chapter 270 Progress of Project 891

"It's true that Mr. Qin actually followed the Kiev and sailed slowly on the sea. So much work is waiting for him. He wants to train us to be independent." Zhang Chao couldn't help but complain. .

Speaking of being independent, there are indeed many people now. Zhao Changshui, Cong Ju, Zhou Yongfei and others are all independent. Even the few apprentices trained by Cong Ju can also play leading roles. There are also workers from Lao Maozi. Several showed good qualities. Qin Tao always acts as the boss, and the big guys have to stand up and be the pillars. However, Qin Tao can't do this all the time.

Especially now, the Kiev is sailing slowly on the sea, and there is nothing going on. Mr. Qin is obviously lazy!

“Mr. Qin must have some important mission, right?”

"What kind of mission can it have? The Kiev is coming back to build an aircraft carrier park, not an aircraft carrier. Even if foreign warships follow it, they won't come up to stop it."

"Should we go back to Mingzhou? There's no point in staying here, and there are no projects. Listening to Babbage's lectures every day will be boring."

“What’s bothering you? Yang Zhaoxiang is the one who listens most carefully every time you attend class. However, strangely enough, the last project has been completed, but our team has not been disbanded!”

　　咣!

At this moment, the door outside was opened. When the familiar figure appeared at the door, everyone was stunned.

 “Mr. Qin?”

 “Why are you here?”

 “I just heard someone complaining?”

"No, Mr. Qin, you must have heard wrong." Zhang Chao said with a smile on his face: "Aren't you at sea? Why are you back?"

“Of course we have to arrange work. Where are our aircraft carrier designers? Let’s all gather for a meeting. I have to arrange the second project!”

 The first project was very enjoyable for everyone. Although it was just an idea on paper, it gave many people a special experience.

 After the project ended, some people left, such as Mr. Pan and others, Yang Dawei also took a few people back to Mingzhou, and a few people stayed.

 Almost all of the other teams, such as those from Project 891, stayed on. Although there was no longer a project, they still refused to leave because Babbage received the task of Qin Tao to teach the remaining people.

 The content of the lecture is aircraft carrier construction, which can be regarded as pulling together a new aircraft carrier design team.

After graduation, the group of college students who were recruited officially stayed in the design office in Huating. The Mingzhou Group paid them salaries. A few people from the design office in Mingzhou also stayed, including those from the 891 Project. People are still here, but they are considered non-staff members. They are just responsible for the food here at the institute.

 That's right, we only care about food, not even accommodation, because the 891 project was also launched in Huating. People like them take the bus here every morning and come back by bus in the evening. Even so, they will never tire of it.

 These people will slowly form a new team.

In the conference room, a large group of people were sitting below, looking at Qin Tao who had not appeared on the rostrum for a long time. They were excited. What projects will be planned this time?

Babbage also came and sat next to Qin Tao. However, there were no higher-level officers present. They were just sitting together for a meeting. This was a bit disappointing. There were no relevant leaders of the navy, so it seemed not too important. meeting.

"As you probably all know, we have purchased the Kiev aircraft carrier from Damao. Therefore, the next task of our team is to complete the renovation design of the Kiev aircraft carrier park. Once the aircraft carrier arrives, we can proceed For project construction, we will strive to start this project by the end of this year or next year.”

"Is it really an aircraft carrier park?" Under the seat, Wang Yanwei, the designer of the 8*91 project, couldn't help but said: "Mr. Qin, after getting this warship back, can it be transformed according to our last design drawing and become a Our navy’s first aircraft carrier?”

“That’s right, it would be such a waste to transform such a good warship into a park.”

“That’s right, Mr. Qin, where can the aircraft carrier be so domineering in the aircraft carrier park?”

"Do you guys have enough to eat every day?" Qin Tao looked at these people: "Let me tell you, our meeting this time is to issue tasks, not for you to discuss. If you don't want to do it, then give it to you. I…”

Although the word "Go" was not spoken, the domineering Qin Tao said it like this, and the meaning was already clear.

People from Mingzhou and newly recruited college students, shut up quickly, Qin Tao is their boss! Dare to question the boss's decision, do you still want to hang out?

The people who have rebutted the most vigorously just now are those of the 8*91 project. They see that the dream of the aircraft carrier is about to be realized, but it turns out to be a park, and they can't accept it in their hearts!

“Hmph, just leave.” Wang Yanwei finally stood up with a bad temper.

“After you leave, don’t ever come back, and don’t even think about participating in our other projects.”

Wang Yanwei stopped and his face turned ugly. He hesitated for a moment and sat back down.

“Huh, don’t try to provoke me to leave in this way. If you let me go, I will stay.”

Everyone couldn't hold back their laughter. This guy was clearly reluctant to leave, for fear that he would not be able to participate in the next project, yet he still insisted on speaking harshly. It was really interesting.

Qin Tao looked at the people present: "Is there anyone else who wants to leave?"

 With Wang Yanwei’s example in front of us, no one could bear to leave and consciously kept their mouths shut.

“Now, I announce that the 2002 project has been officially launched. Director Mao is still responsible for this project. Everyone must unite around Director Mao and complete this project conscientiously.”

　　Babic nodded: “Now, let me introduce to you the general idea.”

Although the pronunciation of Chinese is not yet standard, it is already understandable. After hearing Babic's words, Qin Tao couldn't help but sigh, Babic is really awesome. Since he has chosen China, he might as well learn it. If you learn Chinese, communication will be much easier in the future!

Look at those who tried to remove foreign language subjects in later generations and let those who need them take the exam. Look at Babbage again. Is it difficult to learn foreign languages? I still don’t want to work hard. Learning any knowledge requires hard work.

This is the second project since the establishment of the institute. Babich attaches great importance to it. He knows the actual situation of the Kiev. It is impossible to modify the aircraft carrier. Converting it into a park is already a good home. It is better than being in a certain place. It is much better to turn the port into scrap metal than to dismantle it and put it into a steel-making furnace.

It’s a fate to have him personally handle it, right?

With such emotion, Babbage started to explain.

Some dangerous maze-like passages need to be sealed. If you are not careful, you can't get out after entering, which will be troublesome. Some dangerous places need to add protective measures. The deck is used as an exhibition area. Put the aircraft up and the aircraft below. The warehouse needs to be transformed into an entertainment venue, bar, KTV, restaurant, supermarket, etc., so as to create more income.

 The entrance and exit should be separated, enter and leave through different passages, and a special tour route should be designed.

 As a designer, Babbage is competent. He quickly explains the design principles clearly and then assigns tasks to different groups.

 Qin Tao can finally save himself some trouble.

 After everything was arranged, Qin Tao revealed his additional content.

"During the transformation, the deck at the rear needs to be cut open, and we need to take out part of the power unit inside. Specifically, it includes four boilers and two steam turbines."

 Babic's heart suddenly became excited.

 Qin Tao didn't say this when they communicated privately just now, and he only added it temporarily now. Is this just Mr. Qin's temporary idea? Or has another purpose?

Those steam boilers and steam turbines are specially used by aircraft carriers. If they are dismantled, can they be copied? Has it been copied?

When he thought of this, Babbage became excited, and the people below seemed to understand.

Wang Yanwei has long since lost the embarrassment he felt just now. Now, he also feels a heat flowing into his body. Even if this warship can only be transformed into an aircraft carrier park, it will also promote the development of the motherland's aircraft carrier industry!

　　Everybody is tacitly aware of this.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed. Wang Yanwei hesitated and came to Qin Tao without leaving.

“Mr. Qin, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have demolished you just now.”

“I’m sorry? Just say it and it’s over? We designers all need to be rational, and we are always hot-headed. How can we design?”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Qin, I will definitely keep your request in mind." Wang Yanwei said quickly.

“Well, if you don’t come back today, I will lose all face, and I have to thank you.”

 “No, no, no.”

“By the way, what major do you major in?”

The 891 project is very large and requires the joint efforts of people from all walks of life, even if it is just a pre-research project.

 “I studied marine propulsion.”

"Okay, that's good." Qin Tao said: "I will leave the dismantled boiler to you for study. Renovate one first. During the renovation process, it is not only necessary to survey and map it, but more importantly, to improve it and use it." Our technology improves its safety to a higher level.”

"Yes!" Wang Yanwei was extremely excited: "I promise to complete the task."

Of the six intact boilers, Qin Tao only ordered four to be dismantled. Of course, two should be left as spares. This aircraft carrier park cannot be permanently stationed in one place. It has to be moved around. The cost of hiring a tugboat is higher than driving there by yourself. Twice as big.

 So, leaving two boilers and two steam turbines, they can be started at any time.

As for the four dismantled boilers, of course not all of them will be given to the Kimchi people. One of them will be renovated first and used by the Kimchi people, and then they will be slowly lifted.

 They want to collect five boilers and repair the Minsk? There are no doors, and you can’t even jump out of the window! How could Qin Tao watch a powerful threat appear in the east of the motherland.

The power of Lao Maozi's boiler is sufficient, but the safety is not good enough. Therefore, the Kiev-class boiler often explodes. Later, the one owned by Asan also broke down every now and then. Of course, our own aircraft carrier cannot have such a problem, and we need to increase the number of boilers. Just safety measures!

 The blue is better than the blue. This is also Babbage’s evaluation of China’s aircraft carriers.

 In the future, the Varyag will be towed back. I don’t know whether the boiler inside can be used. I have to be prepared in advance. If it breaks, it can be replaced at any time.

"Wang Yanwei, why are you still here? The navy leaders went to our academy to hold a meeting with the technical staff of our 8*91 project. The others have already left in the car. I came to call you. Mr. Qin, are you still here? Come together. Let’s have a meeting, the leader has called you to attend.”

 The Navy is going to have a meeting? Are the personnel from Project 8*91 going? Do you want to attend the meeting yourself?

 Qin Tao was also a little flattered. Now that he has gone, do you want to express some formal opinions at the meeting?

 The navy has been laying the groundwork for the aircraft carrier for a long time.

Let’s not talk about the ˜70 project. After entering the 1980s, the Naval Research Institute here in Huating began to launch a feasibility study project on the design and construction of an aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier model was even built for experiments.

In 1985, the top brass of the Navy began to argue again. Mr. Liu, who was obsessed with aircraft carriers, said: "Aircraft carriers will always be built. By 2000, aircraft carriers will always have to be considered. To develop aircraft carriers, we can not mention the model first, but first Pre-research.”

Therefore, in 1988, under the auspices of the National Defense Industry Committee, led by the Seventh Institute of Shipbuilding, elites from all parties gathered to once again demonstrate the development of aircraft carriers, and included the "Feasibility Study on the Development of Aircraft Carriers and Carrier-based Aircraft Systems in my country" into the National Defense Science and Industry Commissioned 198*9 soft science research plan project.

 In January 1989, the project was approved and became one of the ten major projects of the army during the Eighth Five-Year Plan period.

 Qin Tao is very clear about this project. The Navy’s aircraft carrier path is very difficult.

When Qin Tao and Wang Yanwei returned to Huating Naval Academy together (this institution should not exist, but it has been used before, so we will continue to use it. Anyway, these projects are confidential. If you write the real address, it will be confidential. ), after entering the conference room, from a distance, the people on the rostrum started shouting.

“Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin, please sit in front!”

This is not good, right? Am I not attending the meeting? Qin Tao looked at his father-in-law who was presiding over the meeting and hesitated.

"Mr. Qin, please come up quickly." Zhang Yang, who was also on the podium, had already shouted: "You are the protagonist of our meeting."

 Who am I? main character?

Qin Tao could only walk up and sit next to Zhang Yang.

 There were so many people attending the meeting!

"Everyone knows that Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group bought the Kiev. This heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser will be our first real contact with the world's advanced level. A 40,000-ton displacement warship will have an impact on our 8 The *91 project has brought great promotion." Wu Shengli said: "Now, let us applaud and welcome, and thank Mr. Qin for the opportunity he has brought to us."

 There was thunderous applause.

 Qin Tao looked at his father-in-law with some confusion. What is going on? Put on a high hat for me in advance? Does the Navy want to transform this warship into an aircraft carrier?

Qin Tao didn't care. Anyway, he bought it back without spending much money. However, if this warship is modified, how can it be dragged back to Varyag in the future?

"Cough, cough." Qin Tao coughed twice, looked at the calm meeting place, and said solemnly: "Currently, we have begun the design work of the aircraft carrier park. Many of our comrades present have just arrived. Those who participated in the meeting I organized said that the Kiev had a fire not long ago, and its internal structure was severely damaged, making it impossible to transform it into an aircraft carrier."

Qin Tao has to say something ugly in front of him, even if it means refuting his father-in-law's face on the spot.

"Yeah, it's a pity, but during the renovation of the aircraft carrier park, we can also study the warship inside and out, as long as Mr. Qin doesn't charge us tickets." said a leader present. .

 Qin Tao's hanging heart was finally relieved.

“Ahem, ahem, while all the leaders are present, I want to make a request.”

This is such a good opportunity, why not use it?

"Speaking."

"Our Kiev aircraft carrier park needs a special exhibition venue after it is renovated. I hope the leaders present can help coordinate and let us get some venues in Huating City. We don't have to choose. Pudong can do it, and Chongming Island can also OK."

After the aircraft carrier park is renovated, it is impossible to stay directly on the sea. Anyone who wants to visit and take the ferry there must be parked at a certain pier. This pier also needs special reconstruction and some kind of Russian style street. project so that it can be perfect.

Huating, in later generations, was a place where every inch of land was at a premium. Now, while the vigorous development of commercial housing has not yet begun, it is time to enclose the land.

The old town of Huating is definitely no longer viable. Pudong New Area has just been developed, so it’s okay to go to Pudong New Area. If Pudong doesn’t provide space, it’s also okay to move to Chongming Island. Anyway, the place is inaccessible and has not been developed yet. I have to agree to this request, right?

“Of course there is no problem. If the aircraft carrier park is built in our Huating, it can also become a dazzling landscape in Huating! Don’t worry, we will convey this request to the Huating government and we will definitely solve it for you.”

Qin Tao nodded: "Thank you very much."

“Okay, let’s continue the meeting. First, let’s learn about the progress of our 8*91 project.” Wu Shengli said.

 Zhang Yang stood up and walked to the podium on one side.

"Currently, our project is still in the exploration and demonstration stage. Later, after the 2001 project and subsequent training, our design team gained valuable experience. We believe that the 8*91 project should be modified in due course. It will be less difficult to use a ski jump to take off and block the landing."

When Qin Tao wanted to modify the design drawings of the Minsk, he was anxious, so he told his father-in-law and asked the R&D personnel of Project 8*91 to join in to help. It was also a rare experience for these people. The project was completed. After that, they also started thinking about their own projects.

 Steam catapult? It's too difficult. I haven't even figured it out yet. It would be easier to just slide and take off.

Later, after the 2001 project ended, they were listening to Babbage's class while also improving their own designs. When Zhang Yang typed out the design drawings, Qin Tao also watched with interest this self-designed 50,000-ton displacement ship. Aircraft carrier drawings.

 It can be said that it is already eighty points close to Varyag.

Zhang Yang explained the overall design of the aircraft carrier for more than half an hour, especially the modification part. After that, it was time to talk about the carrier-based aircraft.

“At present, we have gone through rigorous demonstrations and believe that the carrier-based aircraft modified by the J-7 and J-8 cannot meet our needs. The carrier-based aircraft for our aircraft carrier should be selected from new models.”

An aircraft carrier is a huge system project. In addition to warships, it also needs aircraft. In terms of aircraft, the ones currently available in China are the J-7 and J-8.

 However, the body of this second-generation aircraft is inherently unsuitable for shipboard use.

There are many problems when converting a land-based fighter jet into a carrier-based aircraft. Even if there is no need for a catapult and the front landing gear does not need to be strengthened, the rear landing gear must also be strengthened. After all, landing requires a hook to hang the arresting cable.

The J-8 is a larger dual-engine version of the J-7. The tail structure is the same, with two sections. When disassembling and repairing the engine, the entire rear fuselage has to be removed. Lao Ba was very dissatisfied with this and asked to directly open the rear opening. Remove the engine.

Land-based maintenance is very difficult. If it is a naval ship-based one, it might not work well. The landing hook is hung with a blocking cable, and with a bang, the **** of the J-7 and J-8 falls off.

 Furthermore, because the vertical fin is too high, it is necessary to transform the single vertical fin into a double vertical fin, which is a lot of work!

 Major adjustments to the aerodynamic layout, rearrangement of the lift-increasing device, strengthening of the airframe structure, redesign of the landing gear device, reselection of airborne equipment, etc. In short, the workload is almost the same as that of a new design.

"Currently, the No. 10 project being developed by the 611 Institute is a modern third-generation aircraft, but the nose landing gear cannot be strengthened. If it takes off by ski jump, this will not be a problem." Zhang Yang continued: "If the Navy wants to gradually If we transition to catapult takeoff, the J-13 project of the 601 Research Institute, through their active improvements, this aircraft is already very suitable to be our carrier-based aircraft."

J-13?

 Qin Tao couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.

●In the field of aviation, China is also lagging behind in development, so in order to catch up, it is also developing new fighter aircraft. During the bidding stage, the 601st Research Institute proposed the J-13 project, which looked similar to the F-16. Although it looked advanced, it was positioned as a day fighter, so it was naturally defeated by the 611th Research Institute's project.

Currently, although the 611th Institute is intensively developing the J-10, since the Air Force has introduced the Su-27, there is still great uncertainty in this project. The 601st Institute, which failed in the bidding, is not willing to accept it and simply changes its own project. , used as a naval carrier-based aircraft.

 After Northrop’s YF-17 and General Dynamics’ YF-16 failed bids, they switched to the Navy. The result was the legend of the F/A-18 “Hornet” carrier-based aircraft. The 601st Research Institute obviously wanted to take this path, and they took the initiative and made a complete overhaul. The air intake was on both ribs, and the side wings were increased to near the cockpit. From the outside, it looks similar to the IDF fighter of Wanwan.

"Mr. Qin has a different opinion?" Zhang Yang looked at Qin Tao with disdain curiously.

"A naval carrier-based aircraft has a rigid requirement of dual engines." Qin Tao said: "For our current situation, the engine is seriously lagging behind, and it is even more necessary to have dual engines to ensure flight safety."
