"We have no choice, the space above here is almost used to the extreme, unless we enlarge the hull of the ship, or use a vertical launch system......" Wang Hengyuan looked haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was stranded one by one, and he didn't know how long he hadn't written.

This is true not only of him, but of the entire conference room.

It's a hot day now, even if Jiangcheng hasn't become a furnace for future generations, it's too hot.

In the room, there was an unpleasant smell of sweat, but Wang Hengyuan and others didn't think it, Xie Kai understood, this situation is very common in the scientific research units under 404, and sometimes for research, the entire R&D team eats, drinks, and sleeps in the office.

"Mr. Wang, how long have you not rested?" Xie Kai asked.

"The time is tight, the task is heavy, and our design team has not rested since we started to improve the design of the H3. Gu Baonong introduced.

Xie Kai nodded, "I think everyone should take a break and relax." Fatigue tactics are unacceptable. ”

"You don't have a low back pain when you stand and talk. One of the technicians rolled his eyes and despised Xie Kai.

At the beginning, Xie Kai said that it would be very easy to improve the design of the H2 and add an air defense missile system and a ground-to-ground missile system.

What now?

There is no way at all, and all kinds of experiments are indispensable.

As soon as the technical verification work was done, it was found that many of these technologies were not as easy as thought, electromagnetic compatibility had not yet been solved, the entire fire control system had to be completely redesigned, there was no problem with the hull structure, and the arrangement of the weapon system was not so easy.

"If nothing else, let's get to work first. The order of 6 ships, a few people followed, and we did our best to get it out. Wang Hengyuan gave Xie Kai a soft nail.

There is anger in the heart, and it is not clearly expressed.

Xie Kai took it for granted.

also blamed them, they just thought there was such a possibility, and under the huge order, they didn't think too much about it for a while.

"Mr. Wang, what are the problems now?" Wang Guilin saw Xie Kai touching the nail, and he also knew that these technicians felt uncomfortable.

It is not easy to design an advanced warship in a year, even if you already have the foundation.

"Electromagnetic compatibility is not yet available. The air defense radar clashed with the original system radar, and the hull structure was too small to fit so many missile systems...... "Wang Hengyuan did not twist and put the technical problems on the table.

If the other party proposes it, the other party will find someone to solve it.

If you can't find anyone, you can't blame them.

It's not that everyone doesn't work hard, but these people who only talk but don't do it, think about technology research and development too simply.

"Any other questions?" Xie Kai asked.

Knowing from the beginning that this was the hardest thing to solve.

"Don't you think this is a problem?" Wang Hengyuan was very angry with Xie Kai, "Young man, learn more." I can't eat the bread and the noodles are yellow......"

Xie Kai was suddenly furious, and Wang Hengyuan actually said such a thing.

This is the chief designer of H3.

How did he know that because the delivery period of the contracts he signed with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia was too short, the pressure on the entire Hudong shipyard was all focused on the technical team?

Just as he was about to get angry, Wang Guilin stopped Xie Kai, "If there is a problem, put it forward, and we will find a way to solve it as soon as possible." If we can't solve it, we will ask the Navy Armament Department to transfer the country's capable technical forces to ......."

Originally, it was said that the 701 Institute would be together, but Hudong Shipyard was unwilling.

Wang Guilin and the others are not ignorant of these situations, and they also understand their thoughts, and now at this time, Hudong Shipyard cannot solve it, so they must find other units together.

"Mr. Wang, if it's just an anti-aircraft missile system, I have a suggestion......," Xie Kai said.

"What advice do you have? Last time you suggested, we thought it was easy to solve without careful analysis, which led to the current problem. Wang Hengyuan's words are not to put the responsibility on Xie Kai, "Don't suggest, now we are afraid of non-professional people making suggestions." ”

"Listen to it first, this time is different from last time, if it doesn't make sense, or if it doesn't work, let's talk about it......" Xie Kai was a little embarrassed.

Gu Baonong's face was full of disbelief, "Do you really have a way to solve it?"

Hudong Shipyard was almost cheated by Xie Kai this time.

"Whether it's H2 or H3, it's originally just a frigate, not a destroyer, and tonnage limits the function here...... Haihongqi-61 is not easy to move up now, especially H2, to improve, the structural layout of the hull superstructure does need to be greatly changed, and it may not even be useful...... "Xie Kai also ignored the questioning, the top priority is to solve the problem.

"It is not suitable for the H2 to be equipped with a large anti-aircraft missile, including the H3. After all, it is necessary to mount Red Flag missiles on the ground so that this kind of warship can have comprehensive combat capability. The idea of our navy, this kind of frigate was originally used for coastal defense, and offshore support operations ......" Xie Kai has a lot of nonsense.

At least, Wang Guilin felt that his nonsense was still a bit too much.

At this time, what are you going to say?

How did he know that Xie Kai wanted to change the design thinking of these designers.

Professional warships must be more professional and design various functions to the extreme within the scope of professional fields.

The current problem is not Xie Kai's fault, nor is it the fault of these designers.

All the designers and the entire Hudong shipyard have one idea - to build a big warship!

This is what everyone has always wanted to pursue.

The 2000-ton 053 ship can't be equipped with so many weapon systems?

Then, let's make it 3,000 tons, 3,000 tons is not enough, then, let's make it bigger......

In the end, 053 became backward, and Hudong Shipyard came up with 054 to replace 053, and the displacement soared directly from 2393 tons of the original 053H3 to 3900 tons......

This is not unique to Chinese warship designers, including the Soviet Union.

The first aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, that is, the program 1143, has undergone five major revisions, the original plan, was a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, and finally constantly revised, but also in the course of the "West-81" military exercises, Marshal Gorshkov pointed to their huge landing fleet and asked Defense Minister Ustinov how he felt.

The Minister of Defense, who was stimulated by the fact that his homeland had such a powerful momentum, naturally said yes.

The marshal of the navy, however, said that there is still something missing, and asked the Minister of Defense: If we make the aircraft carrier bigger, we can carry more fixed-wing aircraft to cover the login, will it be more powerful to reflect the strength of the motherland?

The Minister of Defense, who has always opposed the manufacture of large-tonnage and expensive warships, and Ustinov, who has always demanded that weapons be cheap and easy to use, and that they can be manufactured quickly, nodded without hesitation and said yes!

As a result, when the design of the 1143 scheme was completed, the displacement was almost doubled to 65,000 tons, while the flight deck area was 60% larger than the 1143 scheme, and the hangar area was increased by 30%......

How does Xie Kai not understand the minds of domestic technicians?

"Can you tell me how to solve it?" Li Qingmin asked when he saw that Wang Hengyuan and the others did not speak.

"Directly on 4 twin 37-mm naval guns. Xie Kai said his thoughts, "The missile launch system is directly installed on both sides of the ship's guns, and it rotates as the battery rotates......"

This is a new anti-aircraft fire group that began to emerge only twenty years later, powerful and effective - artillery combined with air defense systems.

There was silence in the conference room.

Wang Hengyuan and the others didn't expect that Xie Kai really had an idea.

Even, originally, they thought that even if Xie Kai had an idea, they wouldn't listen to it, after all, it was too layman for them.

Now when I heard Xie Kai say that the missile system should be combined with the twin naval guns used for air defense, I was stunned.

"How is it possible! Missiles and naval guns are together? How can the channel of the fire control system be solved? Naval artillery air defense constantly adjusts the direction of fire according to the movement of the target...... Some people questioned.

That's impossible!

The 37 mm twin anti-aircraft naval gun is designed to deal with approaching low-altitude targets, and can effectively deal with targets at a speed of 300 m/s and an oblique distance of 3,500 meters. This is all about destroying targets by firing a dense range of shells from naval guns with an ultra-high rate of fire.

"Nothing is impossible, it doesn't matter. The Type 76 37 mm twin-mounted cannon has an effective firing range of only 3,500 meters against air targets...... And our avant-garde anti-aircraft missiles have a maximum range of 6,500 meters...... "Xie Kai explained.

There was a blackboard in the conference room, and he was not polite, he directly picked up the chalk and drew a sketch on the blackboard.

On 053H2, the arrangement of 4 Type 76 twin machine guns, in front and behind the bridge, the original design team thought about canceling some anti-aircraft machine guns, but finally gave up, and the anti-aircraft firepower was weak.

"Directly move the flying shield system up, on both sides of the gun turret, the direction of the missile is consistent with the barrel pointing, which can effectively avoid problems when launching; in addition, when designing, it is necessary to consider the missile launch system to avoid shell shells...... "After Xie Kai drew the picture, the turret did not occupy too much area of the upper deck space at all, except for becoming more bloated.

The two machine gun batteries also make it impossible for this area to do anything else.

"Missiles can be loaded here, what about radars?"

Wang Hengyuan is a lot more careful now.

"The Type 341 fire control radar, which is shared with the entire warship, especially the machine guns, has a detection range of up to 40 ......kilometers for guided anti-aircraft artillery," Xie Kai said.

"The 341 radar is in charge of 4 anti-aircraft guns, and the fire control channel is already crowded, and besides, it is impossible. Wang Hengyuan shook his head.

The 341 radar is the first shipborne fire control radar in China, and although it has been continuously improved and upgraded over the years, it is still far behind the international advanced in terms of performance.

"No, the flying shield system itself has its own independent radar system, and it can directly use independent communication channels to access ......the command room," Xie Kai said.

The power supply on the battleship or something is far better than the flying shield system using tanks.

And there is a radar on the battleship with a longer detection range.

"It's not possible!"
