Chapter 538 Copycat by the Fallen Neva Design Bureau

"Hi, everyone. Welcome to the special edition of our Zhang Zhong said program. This time it is about the International Defense Exhibition. You should know that ten years ago, that is, in 1986, we held the first session. In 1988 The second session was held, and then it was suspended for several years. Until this year, we started to hold it again. This session of the International Defense Exhibition fully reflects our growing strength in the field of military industry, and also reflects our international influence. According to According to statistics, a total of 13 countries and more than 800 foreign manufacturers participated in our international defense exhibition, and the number of guests who came to watch reached 96 countries and regions, with more than 3,000 person-times."

On the TV, Zhang Zhong looked excited: "Okay, now everyone, follow the lens of our camera to experience the lively International Defense Exhibition. Of course, I want to remind you that this is different from watching the aircraft carrier park. It is not yet open to the general public, and all we can see are professionals. When it is open to the general public on Thursday, there will be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of visitors.”

  Zhang Zhong did not go to the scene. Today, he has been sorting out various materials, recording repeatedly in the studio, and the post-production staff are also editing repeatedly, trying to compress the most exciting content into a 30-minute program.

   "At today's defense exhibition, the most popular thing is of course the booth of our Mingzhou Group. They exhibited a brand new aircraft carrier model, which made us refreshed. In the field of aircraft carrier design, Mingzhou Group is already the strongest in this era!"

"What you see now is the 45,000-ton conventionally powered aircraft carrier model launched by Mingzhou Group. Its biggest feature is the use of two-ship islands. This is the first in the world. Under the appearance of its two-ship islands, there are also There are a lot of advanced design concepts buried, specifically, there are all-combustion power, all-electric propulsion, electromagnetic ejection, etc. First, let’s introduce why the dual-ship island is used, which is to meet the huge intake demand of gas turbines. A state-of-the-art design…”

  It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Wu Shengli was sitting on the sofa, watching the Zhang Zhongshuo program on the TV. Beside him, Qin Haiyang was also sitting in a dignified manner, watching the program with him.

   "Hey, this ocean doesn't watch cartoons, does it look military? It has a future, and it will take the road of military industry in the future?" Qin Tao opened the door and walked in. Looking at the scene of the grandparents and grandchildren, he was very curious.

"Yeah, it's strange to say that Haiyang doesn't like to watch cartoons, but likes to watch airplanes, cannons, and warships." Zhao Xiu'e walked over from the kitchen and said, "Taozi, are you hungry? Do you want me to make some for you?" order supper?"

   "No need." Qin Tao waved his hand: "I have already eaten, Mom, you can go to rest."

   "Mom is not tired, let's get you some snacks." Zhao Xiu'e said, walked to the kitchen, and soon came out with a few cakes.

   "Drinking tea at night makes it easy to fall asleep, so let's just drink plain water."

   At this moment, several people were already staring at the TV screen. Zhao Xiu'e smiled, put the water glass on the coffee table, and left gently.

  In the TV, Zhang Zhong was still spitting and introducing.

"The electromagnetic catapult is also ahead of the entire era. It is a perfect match with the gas turbine. It only needs electricity to operate. It does not need huge steam, and it will not cause deck icing and other phenomena. At present, our domestic research and development At the world's leading level, I have a basic structure diagram here."

   "We have exposed all these advanced equipment, and we don't know what others will think."

   "We just want to show our swords and let others know that we are very strong." Qin Tao said: "Let those people with ulterior motives cast a trap."

Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, we have to deter some people with ulterior motives. By the way, if someone places an order for your aircraft carrier model, what will you do? The electromagnetic catapult and other devices have not been developed yet. Mature."

"If someone places an order, they will just use their funds to mature our project. In this way, the first aircraft carrier we manufacture will be a direct-deck model. The dispatch efficiency of the catapult is comparable to that of a ski jump deck. Much taller."

  Qin Tao is not worried.

   At this time, many people in the hotel in the same city were also watching the show.

   "Damn it, their design drawings of this aircraft carrier have compared us!" Shoigu's face was very ugly: "We came in vain!"

The Neva Design Bureau originally didn't intend to come here. They wanted to show off their design capabilities and attract Ah San to buy the aircraft carrier design drawings, so they came to participate in the exhibition. However, the current situation is already obvious. Mingzhou Group The design plan should be taller, and their own design plan has many loopholes.

In a hurry, I heard that Ah San likes to use gas turbines, so they changed the plan to gas turbines. They didn't take into account the huge intake and exhaust volume of gas turbines. For an old warship design bureau, how could they make such a mistake? What about low-level mistakes?

   They committed it, and it was serious!

   Ah San must also be paying attention to the defense exhibition. After seeing Dongfang's design, he will definitely understand that the Neva Design Bureau is full of mistakes, which is not a good thing.

   Sokolov is also having a hard time at this time.

"That's right, this blueprint is very beautiful, but, Mr. Chief Teacher, we still have hope, as long as we quickly modify our own blueprint." Another person said: "It's impossible for Ah San to choose Orientals." As for the design drawings, as long as we can provide the same type of design proposal, Ah San will definitely purchase it!"

   "Shoigu, you said you want us to copy the design of Mingzhou Group? Our Neva Design Bureau can't afford to lose this man!" Shoigu immediately refuted his companion's words.

   It was not displayed on the first day, but it appeared on the second day. Chiguoguo’s plagiarism, how can the dignified Neva Design Bureau do such a thing?

   "Everyone, is our face or our bread important?" This colleague is still insisting on his point of view.

   This sentence shocked Sokolov, yes, the purpose of their coming is to sell design drawings! After selling the blueprints, they will have money, and they can continue to maintain it. If they still can’t make money, their design bureau may go bankrupt. After all, since the collapse of the Red Empire, Da Mao has never started to build a new ship. The warships and design units like them have long been unable to uncover the pot.

   "You said, what if we design an avant-garde nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?" Sokolov finally recovered his ability to think, and soon had a whim.

  Nuclear powered aircraft carrier?

   This is to combine their 1143E and 1145F! This way, you can proudly claim to have designed it yourself.

   "Isn't Ah San wanting a gas turbine warship?" Some people also raised objections: "We are engaged in nuclear power, and I am afraid that it will not meet Ah San's needs."

"You all can't understand Ah San." Sokolov's mind began to become more and more clear: "Everyone, Ah San's thinking is very simple, and he has always compared with Dongfang. If Dongfang doesn't have it, they must Yes, the East has them, and they have higher requirements. Now that the East has begun to have a conventional-powered aircraft carrier, then Ah San will definitely look forward to getting a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. They want a gas-turbine aircraft carrier, but it is to refit the Super Sun King No, if the new aircraft carrier is nuclear powered, they will definitely like it."

   "However, the cost of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier will be even higher!"

"So what, Ah San is not short of money. They have leased the nuclear submarine of the Red Empire before. Now, if they can have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, it will definitely give them a higher sense of honor." Sokolov Said: "Besides, if we adopt this kind of design, then Ah San can't produce it himself, but still has to order it from us, and we can earn more money."

   Sokolov seems to have forgotten that the reason for the failure of the Chaoriwang modification contract was because they were too greedy, but now, he has started to think about so many things again.

   "That's right, let's start designing now. If you don't sleep tonight, you have to draw the design!"

  A group of people took out various drawing tools and started to get busy.

  Southwest, Ah San Guo.

"We just received the photos faxed by Chaudhary. The medium-sized aircraft carrier designed by Mingzhou Group is the most suitable for us." Sunil's adjutant took a stack of faxed photos, and then took one of them Pull it out.

  The news in the newspapers will not come out until the next day, and the information they can get tonight is of course Chaudhary who went there in person to investigate as a reporter.

Sunil picked up the photo and looked at the beautiful layout of the two-ship island: "Just now, we have watched the Zhang Zhongshuo program in the East, which also focused on this design. Our Naval Design Bureau Can it be designed?"

Hearing Sunil's words, Saxena, the designer of the Naval Design Bureau, said: "Currently, we have no experience in designing modern aircraft carriers. Our previous aircraft carriers had a displacement of only 20,000 tons, and it will be a big problem to increase it to 40,000 tons." We originally planned to use Chaori King's design drawings to perfect our aircraft carrier design, but..."

   But Chaori King is a pit, so they don't have these design capabilities at all now.

  You can see other people's shells, but what's inside the shell? Nobody knows.

   "With the use of gas turbines, there will be no high-pressure steam. This kind of electromagnetic catapult is simply not something we can make, not even the United States." Saxena was a little embarrassed.

  They are only engaged in design, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. If the relevant domestic units cannot provide it, and the international market cannot buy it, then what good is their design no matter how good it is.

   "Yes, let Choudary continue to investigate and see if there are any new discoveries." Sunil gave up.

   "Currently, we are designing the power system replacement plan for Chaoriwang. If we can buy this set of design drawings from Mingzhou Group, it will be beneficial to us." Saxena said.

In fact, their Naval Design Bureau has not done any major projects. The Derry-class destroyer currently under construction was designed with the help of Lao Maozi. It is indeed too difficult to design an aircraft carrier by hand.

   If there is a blueprint of the Mingzhou Group, then of course it would be great.

   "Buy their drawings? How is it possible? Absolutely impossible!" Sunil immediately shook his head: "We would rather cooperate with Da Mao than go to the East."

"After the collapse of the Red Empire, Da Mao's design ability has declined too much. The 1143F they designed has many loopholes, quite obvious loopholes, and they can't even see them." Saxena picked up the big Mao Looking at the photo of the aircraft carrier design drawing, I couldn't help but shake my head.

  Suddenly, he thought of something: "What if we purchase design drawings from Mingzhou Group through Neva Design Bureau? How about this plan?"

Sunil's eyes were also brightened. He didn't know that he didn't have this kind of design ability at all. Now he was rushing to the shelves, and the Neva Design Bureau was also going downhill. On the contrary, Dongfang was getting stronger and stronger, especially that Mingzhou Group.

   If you use the Neva Design Bureau to purchase design drawings, you can keep your face.

   "This project will be discussed later." Although Sunil agreed with this project, it was impossible for him to agree immediately.

   After all, this still needs a sum of money, but if it is paid to the Neva Design Bureau, it should be easier to pass the budget.

   This night, many people will suffer from insomnia. The next day, life must continue, and the defense exhibition will also continue.

At the booth of the Neva Design Bureau, all the old men had red eyes and black eye circles, but their spirits were still very high. After a night of hard work, their new 1143G design drawings had appeared on their booth superior.

  The aircraft carrier was designed overnight, which fully reflects the strength of their Neva Design Bureau. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and they are still the elite in the industry!

   "Hey, I haven't seen this design drawing yesterday." A person became curious.

   Shoigu looked over, and his eyes lit up. It was Choudary, the reporter from Ah San who had been to their place yesterday. This person has a deep background!

   "Sir, welcome to visit our project, this is the latest aircraft carrier design drawing from our Neva Design Bureau."

  Twin ship islands, straight decks, it is indeed sci-fi at first glance, but what is the point of taking it out today?

  Is this copied?

   "Why didn't I see you yesterday?" Choudary, as a reporter, was very particular about his words.

"We were too hasty and didn't prepare everything. This design drawing was sent over last night." Shoigu introduced: "The biggest feature of our aircraft carrier is not the twin-ship islands, nor the catapult take-off, but It used nuclear power."

   "Nuclear power?" Sure enough, Choudary's eyes widened: "You actually designed a nuclear power system for it?"

"That's right, we think it's most suitable for an aircraft carrier to use nuclear power. It has unlimited endurance and doesn't need to refuel. If other power systems are used, a supply ship is needed to resupply once a week. With nuclear power , just replenish the fuel and ammunition needed by the carrier-based aircraft.” Sokolov came out from behind, just now, he was still squinting his eyes and fell asleep, and he hurried to the front when he heard the sound outside.

   "What nuclear reactor does it use?"

  Since it is nuclear power, of course we must first pay attention to the reactor.

"There are two nuclear reactors to choose from. The first one is the KH-3-43 reactor used on the Ulyanovsk aircraft carrier that we did not complete. Its single-reactor power reached 305 megawatts. On the Ulyanovsk, we plan to use four nuclear reactors, as for the current medium-sized aircraft carrier, only one nuclear reactor can make it reach 25 knots, and two can reach 30 knots."

  The nuclear reactor of the Ulyanovsk, from Lao Maozi's nuclear-powered cruiser, is almost in the same line. It can generate 900 tons of high-pressure steam with a temperature as high as 475 degrees Celsius per hour, driving this huge warship steadily.

   It is now used on this medium-sized aircraft carrier, of course there will be no problem.

  It can be compared with the French Charles de Gaulle. They directly used two K-15 nuclear reactors with the same single reactor total power of 150 megawatts as the "Triumph class" nuclear submarine, and the total power is only 300 megawatts.

   "In addition to this nuclear reactor, we also have the OK-650 pressurized water reactor used by the new 955 submarine. The single reactor power reaches 380 megawatts, and it can be used for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers with minor modifications."

   (There is also a saying that it is 190 MW, but the model is OK-650V, I don’t know which one is right.)

Lao Maozi still has a very strong technical reserve in this area. This 955 nuclear submarine has a more famous name, the God of the North Wind. Although it was built in the 21st century, the design work began in 1987. Yes, the related nuclear reactors had already been developed and matured at that time.

   It's just that this reactor is for submarines. If it is used on an aircraft carrier, some changes will have to be made.

   Choudary held a tape recorder in his hand, and recorded all the content introduced by the other party. At this time, he was also very excited. If it was a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, how tall it would be! This project can report back!

"Because of the nuclear power system, we can install steam catapults on it. In the era of the Red Empire, our steam catapults have been developed and matured, and they can be installed. We don't mention any high-end technology. We The pursuit is to be able to use it now. If there is an order from a customer, the production can be started now..."

  Qin Tao is not only the boss of Mingzhou Group, but also the person in charge of this defense exhibition, so he also came here early and wandered around.

  When he received the news, he was watching the on-site display of ground weapons in the outdoor exhibition hall. The majestic 90-2 tank was running up the hillside with its horsepower. It was majestic and spectacular, and many people were applauding.

   "Boss Qin, something new happened today." Xu Zhengyang whispered into Qin Tao's ear, "Neva Design Bureau copied our plan and launched their two-ship island aircraft carrier."

  Qin Tao was also a little curious: "They copied ours? The speed is quite fast! Let's go, let's take a look."

   "Their design is very pragmatic. All the equipment is existing, and there is no new technology. Even the nuclear reactor uses the legacy of the Red Empire era."

  Qin Tao stopped in his tracks: "What did you say? A nuclear reactor?"

   "Yes, they plan to use nuclear power."

   "You mean, they adopted nuclear power, and then used two ship islands?"

  Xu Zhengyang nodded: "What's the matter, is there a problem?"

   "No problem, their design is great." Qin Tao said: "Collect their introduction materials, let's go out for a while."

go out?

  Xu Zhengyang was even more surprised: "Where are you going?"

  Even if Mr. Qin doesn't come forward in person, he should find a few people to go to the Neva Design Bureau to sabotage it! How to go out? When the defense exhibition was held in Malaysia, Mr. Qin went directly to the kimchi booth to start a show.

   This is not in line with Mr. Qin's character.

   "Look for Zhang Zhong." Qin Tao said: "This is an accident, I have to communicate with him personally, to set the tone for today's special program, it's called Dongshi imitation."

  Neva Design Bureau is an old brand, and it wants to save face. Of course, Qin Tao would not agree with such a thing of plagiarizing other people's research results.

   It’s just that if you want him to tear down the stage himself, it’s absolutely impossible, because unlike in Malaysia, you are the host, how can you turn over the table of the guests?

  So Qin Tao can't come forward, he has to go to Zhang Zhong, a military expert who specializes in dismantling the stage, and it is best for Zhang Zhong to analyze it.

  Xu Zhengyang also reacted: "Well, okay, I will send someone to collect information immediately."

  Dong Shi imitates the frown, this idiom is good, it is much nicer than painting a tiger but not an anti-dog, and it will not hurt the old Maozi's face.

  The design drawings of the Neva Design Bureau have aroused strong repercussions today.

  Many people despise it. The dignified Neva Design Bureau actually wants to gain limelight by copying the aircraft carrier design of Mingzhou Group. It is too shameless.

   Some people also expressed emotion, this is the strength of the old design bureau, they drew a brand new design in one night! What plagiarism? They are nuclear-powered, which is different from the Mingzhou Group.

  If Mingzhou Group has the ability, it will also build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!

  Different eyes, different views, but the result is still the same.

  Neva Design Bureau, there was a lot of voices, and the limelight completely overwhelmed the Mingzhou Group.

   Ah San also received the news very quickly, a few hours earlier than yesterday.

"The design of nuclear power is refreshing." Saxena analyzed: "This KH-3-43 reactor uses uranium-rich nuclear materials. It is said that it can be refilled once and run at full power for more than ten years. If it is used normally, it can be used for 20 years. During the whole life, we only need to replace the nuclear material once. If we only need to reach a speed of 25 knots, we only need one.”

   As a warship designer, Saxena is very satisfied with this plan.

Sunil was worried: "If this design is used, can our shipyard be able to undertake the construction task? Moreover, the old man can't even fix a boiler. Even if they directly export the nuclear reactor to us, is it reliable? Is there a risk of explosion like a boiler?"
