Super military empire

"Director Liu, are we a bit too aggressive like this? It's impossible for a submarine that is faster than an airplane. Moreover, even if there is such a situation underwater, the noise is so loud that it will be directly affected by the enemy. The drag sonar was detected..." Mai Dongyue said to Liu Yijiu with some caution after Xiao Dong left.

In his opinion, such a submarine is not very useful at all.

Once discovered by the enemy, it will be bombed directly by enemy anti-submarine aircraft and bombs carried by warships.

"What about the detection? If it is several hundred meters deep underwater, if it can move at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, the speed of the bomb can catch up? Or can the speed of the torpedo keep up?" Liu Yijiu said non-committal. ."As for whether this speed can be reached, is it possible, a hundred years ago, who would have thought that airplanes could fly? Humans could enter space?"

Liu Yijiu's words left Mai Dongyue speechless.

"If you can't reach this level of technology now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to achieve it in the future. Moreover, such high-speed performance is mainly used for penetration and combat. When cruising in peacetime, you must use conventional power. Only this way can you ensure that you are in combat The performance is at its best. Normally it is no different from an ordinary submarine..."

"Doesn't this require two sets of power or even more?" Although Deng Jianjun is not an expert in submarine design, he is able to understand related issues in submarine design. "Especially when submerging at high speed underwater, the huge water pressure It will make the submarine's shell questions bear greater pressure. The test of the submarine's shell questions during a high-speed collision is far more demanding than in the air."

"It's true. Material is a problem we need to solve, as well as design capabilities. Of course, there is not much possibility to reach the speed of an airplane in a short time, but this can be a direction for our development. Only with Clear development direction, and then step by step, can make our country's military technology foundation more profound... Even if we can't achieve this goal in the end, but because of this goal, we have obtained a lot of development, which is good. What do you think? "

Liu Yijiu naturally knows that even in his own time, the Republic has not reached such a level after more than a hundred years of development. However, it has already begun to build bases on the moon to mine helium-3 on the moon. Energy for the earth for thousands of years.

Although human beings have not known for many years on the earth, they do not know much about the ocean.

Even if the probe can reach the deepest part of the ocean floor, it cannot fully understand the ocean world.

Although the marine resources and the resources on the moon belong to all mankind, whoever has the technology to mine first is the one who owns them.It was originally mined to benefit all mankind.However, with this technology for mining, it is natural to charge costs.

Set a relatively high goal, and then work towards it. Even if it is not achieved, as long as there is a breakthrough, the result will be good.

"This is the reason why our Ninth Academy is developing rapidly?" Mai Dongyue understood."Compared with the domestic foundation, the goals put forward by many of our Ninth Institute's projects seem to be too unrealistic. However, even if the project cannot be completed, the final development speed is far faster than other units... "

The development of the Ninth Academy has always been something that people don't understand.

Mai Dongqiang also knows that in the entire Ninth Academy, the development speed of 701 is not fast at all, and it was only included in the system of the Ninth Academy after the 055 ship plan was launched.

The technical requirements of the 055 ship are indeed very high for them. For the current technical basis, it is really high, and even many performances cannot be achieved.

However, after several years of development, they have discovered that although they are still far from the required technical standards, they do surpass other domestic naval equipment research units.

"There are indeed reasons for this, but more importantly, we are different from other domestic scientific research institutes!" Liu Yijiu sighed. In fact, the development of the Ninth Institute has plundered the development resources of other units.

The money they earn should have been handed over to the state or the military for reallocation of resources.

It's not just Liu Yijiu who understands, but the bosses above are even more aware that the overall foundation is too poor, and the time for domestic development is too short, so we can only concentrate resources and give priority to development.

This is the case with reform and opening up. The economic development approach along the coast is the same. The development of the domestic military science and technology system is also the same. The Ninth Academy is self-raised, independently establishes projects, and is responsible for its own profits and losses. The government does not bear the expenses of the Ninth Academy. The technical results of the Ninth Institute are in line with the military's use and purchase orders will only be issued when the military has money and plans.

It is also the idea of ​​economic development.

"The difference lies in our management system and capital investment. Managers of our units do not interfere with the development of the project. If we don't understand the situation, and let people who don't understand decide the direction of the project, it will not happen. ......" Mai Dongyue felt deeply about this.

The same is true for Deng Jianjun, "Many leaders of the higher-level leadership departments will interfere with our technical projects and require us to modify the technical requirements of the project according to their requirements or preferences... This way, the project will be in the development process. Zhong constantly deviates from the direction, and every time a leader changes, the project has to be revised..."

For this situation, when they studied the 053 ship before, they suffered greatly.

Therefore, they were included in the system of the Ninth Hospital, which is the best result.

At the same time, there is no need to consider the issue of funding at all. Managers just coordinate various tasks and do a good job of logistics services, while the only thing that technicians need to do is technology research and development.

"Money is on the one hand, and supporting facilities are also very important. In the past, we could not dominate the supporting technology at all. We only had the right to make suggestions..." Thinking of the previous development process of the 053 class frigate, Deng Jianjun felt that the past could not bear to look back. .

It took too much time for the 531 ship from the initial project to the final service.

The most important thing is that the "Hongqi-61" ship-to-air missile used for air defense has seriously dragged down the progress.

At the same time, domestic design capabilities also have some problems, which makes the design of the 531 ship a little passive.

It was not until 1988 that Hongqi-61 was a complete success!

At this time, the first ships 531 and 532 have been in service for ten years!

If Hongqi-61 can be completed in 1978, China's frigate development will be at least ten years ahead of schedule.

"This was before, and now there is no problem. We are also working on improving the 053 frigate, and we have also given it to other units. We have a completely different development idea from them. What I need is our technical reserve on this project. And development, rather than the need for too advanced frigates. The ship company has introduced a lot of technology from abroad for development, which is different from our high-speed and high-performance auxiliary large-scale warship development direction. Our greater energy should be invested Go to the research and development of the 055 ship."

China State Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, in August 1982, and the Navy jointly held the "053h2 missile frigate program design review meeting."The meeting reviewed and passed the plan design proposed by Hudong Shipyard, and on November 4, 1983, Hudong Shipyard and the military representative office of the Navy in Hudong Shipyard formally signed the first economic and technological general contracting of Chinese military products. One contract, the "053h2 guided missile frigate construction contract", was clearly designed and built by Hudong Shipyard, and the contract price was 46 million yuan.

This is the Republic’s first large-scale ship designed and built under the economic contract system. However, because of the army’s implementation of “simplification and patience”, the emphasis is on national economic construction, and economic tensions, the large-scale use of the mature technology of the previous 531 ship has improved its technical performance. Not too much.

There is a big technological gap between this and the 701 Institute.

Liu Yijiu hopes that the 701 Institute will not spend too much energy on small warships.

The Ninth Academy has sufficient funding for the time being, and it should study larger warships. Once the technology is mature, it can be used on other warships.

"If this happens, our technical research in this area will begin to lag behind." Deng Jianjun said to Liu Yijiu reluctantly.

"These small frigates, without the support of large-scale supply ships, cannot sail oceans! What we need are large ocean-going warships with greater endurance and self-sustaining power at sea!"

"For the country to implement its defensive strategy, it does not need too large warships, and the distance to the South China Sea is farther..." Deng Jianjun didn't understand.

Liu Yijiu's thoughts should be his own.

It is absolutely impossible to be the request of the military chief.

Although, the navy of any country hopes to obtain more advanced large warships.

At the same time, it is impossible for the Navy to have too much funds to purchase such expensive warships.Everything has to make way for the country's economic development!

"No need now. When we need it one day in the future, will there be mature technical design in China? What we need to do is technical reserve. Once the country needs it, we can start construction immediately! Even, we can raise funds for it. Build!" Liu Yijiu naturally couldn't say. After 20 years, the country will also need ocean-going warships to escort domestic merchant ships.

At that time, the huge China only had a Type 052d guided-missile destroyer.

It's really shabby.

Of course, this has something to do with the too short development time of the Republic’s navy.
