MTL - Warship of Great Power-Chapter 718 Yun Nine

   Qin Tao doesn’t know much about other things, but when it comes to building warships, no one knows better than him. Now, the technology he is talking about is definitely high-end.

  There are very few battleships with four-sided phased array radar in service in the world. The American Aegis warship is very powerful, but it is only a four-sided passive phased array radar. The domestic Aegis warship has a four-sided active phased array radar, which is already very good.

  Who would have thought that a large number of phased array antennas could be superimposed? Four large shields plus four small shields, with a special Meepo shield on the outside? When these radar antennas are put together, not only can they not interfere with each other, but they also have to cooperate with each other. What kind of level can this be done?

   The big guy was very surprised.

   "Put so many phased array radars together, the cost must be expensive." Someone said.

  Building a warship must consider the price. If the cost of such a 10,000-ton warship is four or five times that of the existing 052C, it is not worth it. It is better to build a few more 052C.

"Everyone, the price is temporary. As we gradually master the production technology of T/R components, the price will definitely continue to drop. You can look at our current phased array radar price compared with the original price, and you will be confident. Well, we can’t do anything else, we can still make those high-tech things the price of cabbage.”

  Whether it is phased array radar or shield machine, as long as we master the technology, the price will drop rapidly.

   "Yes, it may be possible in the future. It seems that we are going to build a new generation of 10,000-ton large drive, and this technology is necessary." A leader nodded.

"Of course, you don't have to look at what the next-generation destroyer developed by the United States looks like. The integrated radio frequency mast is a must. We don't need any wave-piercing structures, but we still have to have what we should have." Qin Tao said : "The integrated power system of the whole ship should also be mature. When the time comes, we will see if our propulsion system works. If it works, we can add integrated electric propulsion, which can also save more power."

  The Type 055 destroyer of the later generations did not use integrated electric propulsion. It used four gas turbines, two-shaft propulsion, two for low speed and four for high speed, and the two were used alternately, so that the service life could be balanced.

  These are all things that everyone can consider, so Qin Tao simply took them over, and he had to focus on the key points.

"Our vertical launch system must be a large-diameter launch system with both cooling and heating, which is the 850mm diameter I said, so that it can carry a variety of weapons and equipment. All of our current missiles can be inserted into it, including small With modernized anti-ship ballistic missiles, when the time comes, our 10,000-ton large-scale drive will be able to launch a fatal blow to the enemy at any time. Although the caliber conference has led to a reduction in the number, when we install small missiles, we can make two holes in one. bombs, or even four bombs in one crater, so the flexibility of loading can be greatly improved."

  The MK41 launcher made by the Yankees has been an advanced representative for a long time, but it is still too small. When the standard 3 modified missile was launched, it was found that it could not be inserted. Our side locked the diameter of 850 mm in advance, which is convenient for future upgrades, and we will not worry about not being big enough.

   Only Qin Tao was left to talk about the new generation of 10,000-ton destroyer, shouldn’t it be handed over to Mingzhou Group for design?

   "When the electromagnetic gun comes out in the future, let's squat a door at the bow of the ship, and within 400 kilometers, we can shoot wherever we can. If the satellites in space are not pleasing to the eye, we can shoot them down with one cannon. How majestic!"

  Now the Yankees put out the DDG-1000, which is indeed tall, but our side is not inferior, and our side will also have a more advanced 10,000-ton large drive! Qin Tao is full of expectations.

However, I can only think about it now. After all, the Navy’s most important shipbuilding project is the 002 aircraft carrier. This project involves too much funds for the Navy. It is good to maintain the existing construction efforts for other projects, and it is impossible to start building new ones. of.

   Now it's just a fantasy.

  This meeting is still to confirm that the electromagnetic gun project will be launched, so the meeting is considered to be over, and the next thing is just to imagine the future.

After the meeting, Qin Tao's plan is to go to Huating with Ma Ming to see the development progress of the electric vehicle project. The three electric vehicles have been built, and then it can be officially announced to the public. He can also build electric vehicles, and Your own electric car is more advanced!

  But he still didn't go with Ma Ming, and that night, Zhao Ling came back.

"Fortunately, I have negotiated the production contract of the D227 engine with Ermao." Zhao Ling said: "This is the second engine we have cooperated with, and the superiors also attach great importance to it, so the formal signing must be carried out in the capital. There will also be some leadership involved."

   "Why so grand." Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "This is just a trivial project of Genghis Khan Airlines, and the superiors value it too much."

   "How can superiors not value it? Now we have to focus on both self-development and introduction. Your Genghis Khan Aviation is a typical representative of the introduction. The D227 engine to be introduced this time is also of great significance to us." Wu Shengli said.

Significant? Qin Tao looked at the father-in-law curiously: "Currently, only our navy's carrier-based early warning aircraft uses this kind of engine. Although it is also very important, it will definitely not reach the level of significance you said, right?"

  Peace Dove No. 2 under the Mingzhou Group also plans to use this engine, but it's just a matter of incident, and other engines can also be used.

   What other project can also use this engine?

   "The performance of this engine is very good, so if we develop an advanced transport aircraft based on this engine, what do you think?" Wu Shengli asked Qin Tao.

   This sentence startled Qin Tao: "Dad, what are you talking about? This is not a joke! Because we have an engine, we need to develop an aircraft?"

  This is completely the other way around.

  In the past, there was an aircraft project first, and then an engine project. As a result, the development time of the engine was longer than that of the aircraft, and eventually the project was delayed or even failed because the engine was not qualified.

   Now, the domestic aviation industry has learned this lesson, but has embarked on another path of no return: actually want to develop an aircraft because of an engine?

  This is inappropriate, the most suitable domestic transport aircraft should be -20, four-engine jet aircraft!

  What do you want to do with a propeller plane? Against the C-130?

  The problem is that the output power of the D-227 is very high. The plan was to benchmark against the C-130, but in the end, it directly benchmarked against the C-141.

"At present, there is a serious shortage of large transport aircraft in our country. We saw Ermao's An-70 transport aircraft. Although it is a tactical transport aircraft, it has strategic transport capabilities. We are wondering if we can use the D-227 engine to create a similar transport aircraft. .”

The D-227 engine is not only the engine of the Yak-44 early warning aircraft, but also used in many other aircraft, such as the An-70 tactical transport aircraft developed by the Antonov Design Bureau to replace the An-12 transport aircraft, and the C- Like the 130, it is planned to install four propeller engines, so that it can have good performance.

As a tactical transport aircraft, the maximum take-off weight of the An-70 is about 132 tons (some say 135 tons), but its maximum load capacity has reached 47 tons. This data is very outstanding. You can compare it with Il- 76, the maximum take-off weight is 182 tons, but the maximum load capacity is only 52 tons.

It can be said that the An-70 is very good, and the size of the cargo compartment is also very suitable. There is no problem in transporting main battle tanks. If the Red Empire did not collapse, this transport aircraft has already flown in the sky and has become a dazzling transport aircraft. , the performance far surpasses its rival C-130, and can even be compared with Il-76.

However, this transport aircraft has gone through hardships. After the collapse of the Red Empire, the research and development of this transport aircraft stopped. Er Mao first found Da Mao and wanted to jointly develop it with Da Mao. At first Da Mao accepted it, but later, Da Mao gave up. The reason is very simple. If this thing is done, is there still a need for the production of Il-76? They would rather develop the Il-476 on the basis of the Il-76, and they must not be replaced by the An-70.

  After that, Ermao wanted to enter the European market again. This kind of thinking is too naive. Europe can develop Airbus, but can't it develop a transport aircraft? Soon, the A400M project was established, and the idea of ​​An-70 entering the European market was shattered.

  East?

   Dongfang will not want it, because this transport aircraft has not been successfully developed, and Dongfang will not hand over its own transport aircraft market to others, and must do it by itself.

  Now, this transport plane is almost in a half-dead state. When it comes to the reason, some people hit the nail on the head: Antonov is the Antonov of the Soviet Union, not the Antonov of Ermao.

Although the design bureau is with Er Mao, it is only responsible for the design. Although Er Mao has Motor Sich, it only produces engines. The various equipment needed to produce the entire aircraft come from the entire Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Red Empire, Er Mao wants to rely on It is no longer possible to develop it on their own, because they do not have a complete aviation industry chain.

Now, in order to develop better, Motor Sich decided to enter the Eastern market, and brought the second D227 engine to the East. The Eastern Yun-8 was originally imitated on the basis of the An-12 transport aircraft. Naturally, It will make people think that our own side can also use the D227 engine to develop an upgraded version of Yunba.

  If this thing is done, is there still a market for Yun-20?

Qin Tao immediately shook his head: "No, let's not go our own way. It is more appropriate for us to develop a transport aircraft similar to the Il-76. The relevant units have already started pre-research, and now we have to change our minds midway. is inappropriate."

Qin Tao doesn't want to lose the Yun-20 for his own reasons. After all, there are not many transport planes using propfan engines in the world. The data of the An-70 looks good, but it is a semi-finished product after all, and the IL The -76 has already matured, so how can we imitate an immature aircraft?

The turbofan engine is still a trend. Our side will first imitate it on the basis of the D-30, and then develop an engine with greater thrust to improve the performance of the Yun-20. After that, it can achieve a maximum take-off weight of 220 tons and a load of more than 66 tons. The target, this kind of data far exceeds that of the An-70 transport aircraft, and these data of the An-70 transport aircraft cannot be further improved. Therefore, in terms of potential, it is also necessary to develop the Yun-20.

  Qin Tao is strongly against it.

  Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao seriously: "We are doing this to find sales for your Genghis Khan Airlines products, and you are not tempted?"

"Our Genghis Khan Aviation's product sales are important, and the army's equipment development is even more important. We must not take the wrong path." Qin Tao said: "If our army is really interested, it is better to directly replace Yunba and replace the four It is enough to replace the six turboprops with two D-227 engines, so that the workload of maintenance can be reduced by half.”

Yunba uses a turboprop six engine, the original model was only 4,250 horsepower, and the later turboprop six C, but increased to about 6,000 horsepower, and the D-227 has a maximum output of 14,000 horsepower, so , It is completely possible to replace one with two, and after replacement, the performance will be improved.

For military aircraft, four engines are used to ensure sufficient redundancy. In case one of them breaks down, the flight can continue. However, with the development of technology and the enhancement of engine power, it is also a trend to replace two engines with four engines. .

Needless to say, transport aircraft, passenger aircraft are also like this. For a long time, in order to meet the safety needs of intercontinental flights, the relevant standards have required three or four engines as standard equipment, but later, the aircraft performing intercontinental flight missions are all dual Motivated.

Yun-20 is a strategic transport aircraft, and Yun-8 is a tactical transport aircraft, but because the former is too expensive, the latter also has many uses, such as air early warning aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, etc. Many of them will use Yun-8 to improve, this platform is our own , don't worry about being controlled by others.

  After further upgrading, Yun-8 became Yun-9. The main project was to replace the turboprop six-C engine. Now, it should be further modified to become a twin-engine transport aircraft!

Qin Tao proposed this idea, Wu Shengli thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "This suggestion is simpler and more straightforward. I think that at the signing ceremony, Shaanxi Fei's personnel can also appear. Wait until this double-engine modification After success, let’s talk about the four engines.”

  The advantage of this modification is that the modification is small and easy to succeed, and after the modification, the aircraft will be very useful.

   After all, the tactical transport aircraft using propellers does not pick the runway, and has good take-off and landing characteristics, so it is still useful.

   On the same day, Wu Shengli went to coordinate. Qin Tao didn't participate too much. He stayed at home with his wife and children, and didn't show up until the official signing.

The signing ceremony was held in the most famous church in the capital. Boguslayev, the head of Madasic, came in person. Zamotayeva followed behind him, wearing a beautiful dress, and she looked so beautiful. beautiful.

"Today, we are very happy. The cooperation between us and Ermao has been further deepened, and we have continued to make progress in the aviation industry. We have not only cooperated in the production of the AI-222 engine, but now we are about to sign a production contract for the D-227. The production of this engine , represents our friendship and our cooperation in the aviation industry!" The leaders present at the meeting were very happy and made impromptu speeches.

The lens of the camera was rattling, and the flashlight illuminated the signing site. Boguslayev also delivered a speech: "We are very happy to cooperate with Dongfang in the production of engines. We value the Eastern market, and we believe that Dongfang will definitely have a more In the bright future, Dongfang will be one of our main customers of Motor Sich. Our cooperation has not ended. In the future, more and more advanced engines will be produced in Dongfang and equipped on Dongfang’s aircraft. To the world!"

  In the camera, Boguslayev and Qin Tao sat on the table, signed the agreement, exchanged the agreement, the camera flashed again, recording this precious and beautiful moment.

  The ceremony was over, and everyone sat in the conference room again.

"Mr. Boguslayev, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Peng Yunfei, from our domestic Shaanxi Aircraft Group. You should know that the Yun-8 they are currently producing is the largest transport aircraft produced in our country." Qin Qin Tao introduced a middle-aged man to Boguslayev.

Boguslayev nodded: "Yes, I know, this is developed on the basis of our An-12 transport aircraft. This aircraft has a history of decades and has long been outdated. You have updated it. Any ideas for a replacement?"

"Yes." Peng Yunfei said: "At present, we are developing its upgraded model. Now that we have signed the contract, we hope to install D-227 engines on our aircraft. As long as two It can exceed the power of the original four, which can effectively improve the performance of our transport aircraft. We call this modified model Yunjiu, and if it can be successfully developed, the output will also be large.”

In fact, there has been a Yunjiu model in history. This is a large military transport aircraft designed by 603 in 1969. It looks similar to the Il-76 in appearance. It has a single wing and a T-shaped vertical tail. It is hoisted under the wing. Four jet engines, the indicators set at the beginning are quite beautiful, but unfortunately the domestic industrial foundation can't be realized at all, so this aircraft just stays on paper, and it can't be worked out at all.

   Now, they named the modified version of Yunba as Yunjiu. After all, the change is not small, and it can become a new model.

   Hearing Peng Yunfei's words, Boguslayev was very excited. Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought! As long as it is produced in the East, the East will consider using this kind of engine on their aircraft, and their engine will finally become the power of the transport aircraft, so that it can also be mass-produced!

The AI-222 is like this. There is no market at Ermao. Even the trainer aircraft developed by the Yakovlev Design Bureau is not used. The order of hundreds of units has completely saved them and allowed them to obtain a lot of benefits. Now, the D-227 engine is produced in the East, and the East will also use this engine in many aircrafts. This engine can also be used by Madasi The odd company brought in a lot of profits.

   "Okay, our technicians will fully cooperate and help you complete the modification." Boguslayev said: "I hope that the transport aircraft equipped with our D-227 engine can fly in the eastern sky!"

   "The Peace Dove II ground-effect aircraft developed by Mingzhou Group also plans to use this kind of engine. Therefore, since we have signed the agreement, we must produce it as soon as possible, so we can't delay our project." Qin Tao said.

"Of course, we are ready for production. As long as the funds are in place, this kind of engine can be produced on our production line within half a year." Zamotayeva said: "Currently, the second batch Technicians are already scheduled to come."

  The products of Tianjiao Company can be put into production quickly. One of the important reasons is that they have sent a large number of skilled workers. Now more than 50% of the workers in Tianjiao Airlines are veterans. With advanced production equipment and skilled technical workers, the production of products is of course very fast.

  In order to produce the D-227 engine, they will continue to send workers over, which is almost considered as a move for Motor Sich.

When these old men come to the East, they don’t have to worry about eating and drinking. They can drink a few sips a day, their wages are not in arrears, and prices don’t rise. For them, it’s heaven. indivual.

  Qin Tao is very satisfied with this status quo.

  Peng Yunfei has discussed the details with Lao Maozi's engineer.

Peng Yunfei has been busy with the modification of the Yun-8 these years. Now that he heard that there is a new engine, which will be greatly improved on the basis of the Yun-8, he immediately came over. Now, listening to Motor Sich's The technician introduced the specific data of this engine, and the more he listened, the happier he was.

  Powerful power, long lifespan, it is very suitable to change equipment on Yunba, which can quickly increase the performance of Yunba by a large amount!

   Yun-8 is not only the main domestic tactical transport aircraft, but also a modification platform for special aircraft, especially the third domestic early warning aircraft, which is planned to be modified on the basis of Yun-8.

Because there is no suitable engine, it is impossible to provide strong power for Yunba, so the current main plan of the early warning aircraft modified by Yunba is to add a stick on the back of the aircraft, which is commonly known as a balance beam. The early warning aircraft with a large plate on its back has no strong power. No way! Now that the engine is strong, the Yunba early warning aircraft of the mushroom plate can also enter the fast lane of development!

"The wing needs to be redesigned, after all, the part under the force has changed." After negotiating with the other party, Peng Yunfei made such a decision: "This is a big project, but after the modification, our performance will definitely improve. Changes by leaps and bounds."

For any aircraft, the wing is very important. Changing the wing is almost equivalent to redesigning it. However, the lack of wing area in Yunba originally caused the performance to deteriorate. This time, this problem was solved Get rid of!

  The improved Yunjiu can fly for another fifty years!

  The meeting went smoothly, and at the same time, the news began to spread around the world, and some people's eyes began to become complicated.
