Chapter 91 Meeting Mr. Pan by chance

“Qin Gong, come here, I’ll take you to the canteen.” Yang Dawei led Qin Tao the way.

"Are there any hairy crabs in the canteen today? Give me two." Qin Tao said without politeness.

“Well, there should be, the hairy crabs are enough.” Yang Dawei said.

　　"Is there crayfish too? Give me a plate."

 “Well, no problem.”

Yang Dawei was very embarrassed because of the big mistake, but he was also in a good mood when he thought that the matter was resolved.

When I walked to the door of the canteen, I happened to meet an old man. He lowered his head, obviously thinking about something.

He was wearing a black tunic suit with thin hair. When he was approaching the door, he finally raised his head and glanced at Qin Tao and the others.

When their eyes met, Qin Tao suddenly became excited: "Mr. Pan? Why are you here?"

 Qin Tao did not expect to see this respected ship designer here.

Mr. Pan was born in that war-torn era. He saw the enemy's warships showing off their power on the sea of ​​the motherland. From that period, he made up his mind to design his own country's warships!

 Lao Pan has had an indissoluble bond with warships his whole life.

 In 1962, the development of China's first Type 65 artillery frigate began. At that time, domestic ships still used DC power systems. Mr. Pan, who was in charge of electrical design, first proposed to change the DC power system to AC power system.

 This system was a complete success. After that, all ships and civilian ships used AC power.

In 1965, Mr. Pan became the chief designer of the first-generation Type 051 guided missile destroyer. This work was extremely challenging, as it required the installation of missiles, naval guns, anti-submarine weapons, etc. Mr. Pan faced the difficulties and not only presided over the He participated in the design work and repeatedly tested it on the first warship. From 1971 to 1975, he almost constantly conducted experiments on the warship and solved all problems.

Now, Mr. Pan has taken on the responsibility of the chief designer of the 052 destroyer. The first 112 destroyer was built last year.

 This old man became the chief designer of two warships in his life, which is very admirable.

At this time, when he heard Qin Tao shouting, Mr. Pan was also stunned. He pushed up his glasses: "Young man, who are you?"

 Mr. Pan is a workaholic, but this does not mean that he ignores other things. He knows everyone in the ship design office, but he has never seen the person in front of him.

Wearing a suit and leather shoes, holding a mobile phone, he looks like a businessman, but he is so young.

　Where did it come from?

 Lao Pan was very curious.

“Mr. Pan, I am Qin Tao from Mingzhou Shipyard.” Qin Tao introduced himself: “You can just call me Tao Zi.”

Yang Dawei was a little dazed on the sidelines. How could Qin Tao know Mr. Pan? They shouldn't have seen it before, right?

"Mingzhou Shipyard? The problem of the helicopter assist landing system of the 105th ship was successfully solved a year ago. Is it your credit?" Mr. Pan also reacted.

 “Yes, Mr. Pan, how did you know?”

Of course Mr. Pan knew that the system was just a test on the 105 ship. When the test was completed, the entire system would be moved to the 052 destroyer. Mr. Pan was also very concerned about problems with the system. When he learned about the solution After asking the question, Mr. Pan sighed with emotion.

"Young man, you are very good. It is easy to change two threads, but knowing how to change them is the most difficult." Mr. Pan said, "Especially if you can find the cause of the fault in a short time, it is even more difficult."

Qin Tao scratched his head modestly: "Well, I was blind at the time."

"This is not nonsense. By the way, you are here to eat, let's go in together." Mr. Pan greeted warmly.

Yang Dawei was dumbfounded. Qin Tao knew Mr. Pan, and Mr. Pan also knew Qin Tao. What a coincidence, right?

"Gong Yang, just have whatever you want, don't be too extravagant." Just now Qin Tao was still asking for this and that, planning to kill him, but in front of Mr. Pan, Qin Tao immediately turned into a harmless person. Like a little sheep.

"This is not possible. You have solved a big problem for us. Since we have encountered it today, we have to have a good meal to express our gratitude. Xiao Yang, bring all the best dishes in our canteen, and... I'll bring a bottle of wine." Mr. Pan said.

 “Mr. Pan, do you want to drink?”

“Yes, how can I express my gratitude without drinking? Not much, just one drink, go quickly!”

 “Mr. Pan, you are too polite.”

 “Come, sit here.”

There were other people in the cafeteria. Everyone was surprised to see that Mr. Pan, who had always been simple, actually made an exception for luxury today. Then they looked at the young man in a suit and ties. They were all very curious. What is going on?

“Young man, you have great knowledge in circuits,” said Mr. Pan.

“Well, I have done some research, but being able to repair those things is also luck.” Qin Tao said: “Speaking of our warships, there are too many electronic devices on them. I am not that capable and know everything.”

 Qin Tao is very humble.

“Yes, there are too many electronic devices on our warships.” Mr. Pan said: “With the continuous advancement of technology, there will be more and more electronic devices.”

“With so many electronic devices, compatibility is a big problem.” Qin Tao said, “Especially when it comes to radar and satellite communications, if this interference cannot be resolved, big problems may arise.”

“Yes, it is said that this is what caused the tragedy of Sherfield in the Battle of Falklands.” At this time, Yang Dawei had already come over with food and wine. Hearing what Qin Tao said, he also sighed with emotion.

 The Falklands Naval War in 1982 was the most eye-catching war in the entire 1980s. It can be said to be a typical representative of modern naval warfare.

The Super Etendard fighter jet flew at ultra-low altitude and pounced on Britain's most advanced Type 42 destroyer HMS Sherfield. Then it fired an Exocet missile and pierced into the belly of Sherfield. The most proud warship of the British Navy sank into the icy cold. In the Atlantic Ocean.

It is also for this reason that the Chinese Navy did not choose the Sea Dart system in the end. In addition to being expensive, it has not yet demonstrated its power in naval battles.

As for the real reason, there are different opinions. One of the theories is that the Shelffield was turning on the satellite communication system to communicate with the fleet at the time. Due to electromagnetic interference problems, they needed to turn off the search radar on the warship, so they did not detect the flying Super Etendard and Exocet missiles at all.

　　No one knows what the specific reason is. The British Navy's pain is probably just to cry out to the Americans. How dare they reveal the real reason to the world? Isn't this just exposing one's own scars and smashing one's own weapons brand?

 No one knows why, but radar and satellite communication systems interfere with each other. This problem does trouble many warship designers.
