Chapter 648052BVS052C
This cannot be blamed on anything else but that the current vacation is too short.
In the new millennium, some geniuses came up with the idea of taking two weekends back and forth to make up a seven-day holiday. Now, there is still a three-day holiday during the New Year. These three-day holidays are very stressful for many people.
Taking Qin Tao as an example, after New Year's Eve, he had to go back on the first day of the new year. When he arrived at Mingzhou Group, it was probably the night of the first day of the new year, and he had to hold meetings all night. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, you have to go to the capital to discuss the bidding process. After the meeting, the bidding will officially start on the fourth or fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
“Dad, Dad, do you think this tiger dumpling I made is good?” At this time, Qin Haiyang came over with a special-shaped dumpling to show off to Qin Tao.
In the past, although Qin Tao also took time to see his son, he always felt that there was some distance between him and his son. His son was also afraid of him and did not kiss him. But now, his son has become completely familiar with him. As he said that, he sat down on his lap.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, it's really good. By the way, when you made the dumplings, did you put a coin in it?"
“It’s wrapped, just wrap it in my tiger dumpling.”
Qin Tao found it a bit funny. If you wrap it in this dumpling, does it still make sense? However, he didn't want to see through it, so he nodded: "Okay, let's see who is so lucky to eat dumplings with coins."
“Yeah.” Qin Haiyang nodded vigorously.
“Ocean, the water is boiling, it’s time for us to make dumplings!”
“Yeah.” Qin Haiyang ran away again.
Looking at his son's back, Qin Tao knew clearly that this was probably the happiest Spring Festival his son had ever had, but it was a pity that he had to leave again.
At the dinner table, Qin Haiyang really ate the dumplings with coins, and he was extremely happy. Qin Tao also took advantage of this moment to hesitate and said: "Hayang, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Should we go back to Mingzhou?" Are your grandparents going to pay New Year greetings?"
“Okay, okay!” Sure enough, children are always easy to deceive.
Zhao Ling looked over with questioning eyes. Qin Tao nodded, he was busy!
The first day of the Lunar New Year, in the evening, in the conference room of Mingzhou Shipyard.
"Mr. Qin, you can rest assured. Our 052C destroyer will definitely be recognized by our superiors. Our design is first-rate. Even if it is not inferior to weapons, it is just faster than ours."
“With the same power and the same hull, how come our destroyers are faster than those of our brother units?” Qin Tao was a little curious.
"Because the warships of the brother units were launched earlier, the bottom of their ship was not very smooth." Zhou Yongfei said: "They had no time to clean it up."
Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "What we are competing for is our true abilities. We must let the navy see that our warships perform much better than those of our brother units."
“Mr. Qin, if it can compare with the real performance, I have an idea.” Yang Dawei spoke.
"any solution?"
“Fly our J-31A over and see which warship can detect it earlier.”
Qin Tao's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right! This is the only way to win the honor! Although there is no stealth coating yet, the aircraft body also has a certain stealth effect."
According to Qin Tao's plan, the stealth coating on the F-117 will be available in 1999. At that time, the J-31A will be sprayed. However, even if this is the case, you can still pull it over and give it a try.
After all, the coating is only one aspect of the stealth of a fighter jet. The design of the surface of the aircraft body is also very important. In terms of some specific data, the contribution of the stealth coating to the stealth performance accounts for about 20%, mainly due to The aircraft body reflects radar waves in other directions, so it doesn't matter even if there is no stealth coating.
“I heard that relevant domestic departments have developed a stealth coating, but I don’t know how effective it is,” Yang Dawei said.
Qin Tao's eyes lit up: "Regardless of whether the effect is good or not, let's paint our J-31A first! Let them know now!"
“I’ll go.” Zhao Ling, who was sitting next to Qin Tao, spoke.
Although it has not been officially announced, when Zhao Ling appeared in the meeting today, everyone will understand what is going on. Zhao Ling is engaged in Hongqi-16, and 052C is equipped with Haihongqi-9. Moreover, Zhao Ling is also big Fangfangdi sat next to Qin Tao.
So, Zhao Ling is not sitting here as a military R&D personnel, but as Qin Tao’s assistant! It seems that Mr. Qin will often take his wife around in the future.
As for Qin Haiyang, he had a lot of fun with his grandparents today. There is no need for Qin Tao and Zhao Ling to take care of him.
Qin Tao nodded, watched Zhao Ling leave, and then continued: "Apart from the advantage in detecting stealth aircraft, what other overwhelming advantages do our warships have?"
Does it still need to be said? Of course, it is the ability to deal with multiple targets. Compared with a large shield with four sides and a large rotating shield, the target refresh rate is very different.
“If the superiors are willing to dispatch a large number of target drones, it will be able to reflect the performance of our warships. The more target drones dispatched, the better. Some are high or low, in different directions and at different heights.”
A large rotating shield cannot track so many targets in a timely manner. A four-sided phased array radar does not need to rotate and can keep an eye on the target at any time.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, we request the use of a large number of target drones. If the navy is too expensive, we can also provide some small drones. The more, the better. It is also a test of the air defense performance of our warships. What else?"
"Although we are air defense ships, we have rich experience in building warships, the ships have low noise, and they also have advantages in anti-submarine warfare." Another technician said.
“Well, yes, even though it is an air defense ship, it must also conduct anti-submarine warfare when necessary. We must show our advantages in anti-submarine warfare.”
The meeting lasted until late at night, and early the next morning, the Mingzhou Group's charter flight flew to the capital.
In order to avoid suspicion, Qin Tao did not live in his father-in-law's house. Instead, he, Yang Dawei and others lived in the guest house in the Gongzhufen compound.
As soon as I moved in, someone came to visit me.
“Mr. Qin, you guys are here too. I’m here to chat with you. Do you have time?”
Looking at the person in front of him, Qin Tao nodded: "Of course, even if there are other things, I have to turn it down. Director Sun, please come in!"
Their bidding rival, Sun Xuewen, the director of Bincheng Shipyard, actually took the initiative to visit Qin Tao. He didn't look like a competitor at all, but like a good friend.
"Mr. Qin, I heard that you have received a large number of orders for container ships?" Sun Xuewen knew that Qin Tao didn't like to waste time. After entering the door, he went straight to the topic.
"Yes, we have started designing a new 18,000-ton container ship. However, our slipway is too busy and we are currently considering expanding the Chongming Island Shipyard... Director Sun, do you want some orders? ?”
There are no shipowners of container ships who can no longer trust 30 Heavy Industry. All large orders for container ships have gone to Mingzhou Group! Some time ago, in order to show goodwill to the Mingzhou Group, San0 wanted to give the container ship order as a gift to the Mingzhou Group. Now it seems that it is a joke. What the Mingzhou Group wants is not needed at all. If San0 delivers, it will be delivered directly to the customer’s door, so why need San0’s favor?
It’s not bad to be used as a favor by the Mingzhou Group now.
“Mr. Qin, if you can’t digest these orders, we can also help you.” Sun Xuewen said with a smile.
"Of course there is no problem with this, but we have to wait for a while until our first ship is launched and put into normal operation, and only after the ship owner approves it can we allocate the next orders. After all, we have to ensure the safety of navigation. But we can't Making the same mistakes as the islanders did.”
"Well, Mr. Qin, just your words are enough." Sun Xuewen said, "We will elaborate on it later when we need it."
After speaking, Sun Xuewen stood up.
"What, Director Sun, are you leaving?" Zhao Ling handed over a cup of tea: "You sit down first, and we can continue chatting."
"Mr. Qin's time is precious. I'm afraid of delaying his work. Anyway, this is the main reason why I'm here." Sun Xuewen looked at Zhao Ling: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that you will help Mingzhou Group in the future. Mr. Qin has As a good wife, your career will develop faster in the future."
“Why are you delaying work? We don’t have much work to do. Let’s have dinner together before leaving.” Qin Tao said.
“Yes, Director Sun, we will definitely be in contact with each other frequently in the future. We will eat together and become familiar with each other.” Zhao Ling also spoke.
The bidding units and suppliers sat together to eat and drink together. What happened on the day before the bidding was surprising. If it were in other industries, the bidding units would be sworn enemies, and I don’t know what tricks they were playing in private.
However, in the shipbuilding industry, this kind of scene is not unusual. After all, Mingzhou Group is already a leading company in the shipbuilding industry. Domestic shipyards of all sizes have cooperative relationships with Mingzhou Group. With Mingzhou Group They are all enjoying the market share created by the collapsing foreign shipyards.
“Lao Ben, I heard that the cost of the four-sided phased array radar has come down again?” Sun Xuewen asked.
"Yes, one phased array radar used to cost 100 million. Now, our technology has gradually matured and the scrap rate has been greatly reduced. Now we can make a four-sided phased array radar, which is about 100 million." Mr. Ben said: "However, It’s still very expensive, and the target set by the Navy is to drop it by half, and it will cost us 50 million to cover all four sides. We can still do it if we work hard.”
"Fifty million, it seems that the navy has completely disdained us." Sun Xuewen said: "I guess this is the only one we have 052B."
"This is not necessarily true." Qin Tao said: "If this bidding fails, you can also push this destroyer to the international market. The Navy will definitely not let our 052C be exported. Yours will be much easier, even if it is It is considered low-end domestically, but internationally it is much better than those European warships, so there must be a market for it."
“When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble Mr. Qin.” Sun Xuewen raised his glass: “Come on, I’ll do it first as a token of respect.”
"By the way, Mr. Ben, our phased array radar technology must continue to be developed. The one currently used is air-cooled, which is considered mature. Next, we must work on liquid-cooled ones. From now on, our four-sided shields must be Just be flat."
When the radar is working, it emits a lot of heat. If the heat is not taken away, the radar will soon become overheated and unable to work.
Domestic phased array radars first use air cooling, which blows cold air to take away the heat. This design is very simple and the work is very stable. However, it has one biggest problem: damage resistance on the battlefield.
Once shrapnel hits the radome and leaves a big hole, it will destroy the air flow inside. Even if the radar array is not damaged, it will soon overheat and fail to work properly.
The disadvantage of liquid cooling is that it is complicated because the liquid cooling pipes need to be deployed behind the T/R components, which greatly increases the complexity of the system. When the production of T/R components was initially unstable, liquid cooling was considered It makes no sense, and now, we can start.
“Of course, we have already started to develop liquid-cooled components. After all, the radar prepared for your J-31A is going to be liquid-cooled in order to have better performance.”
The air-cooled phased array is the first of its kind in China. Overseas, for example, the phased array radar used on the F-22 fighter jet is liquid-cooled. Airborne radars have been liquid-cooled for a long time, so now they also plan to develop a liquid-cooled phased array airborne radar for the J-31A.
Several people were talking and chatting. This incident also spread to Huanglou, and everyone was amazed when they heard it.
"Have you heard that the bidding for fourth-generation aircraft in the Air Force is very fierce. Some people even suggested that Lao Song be transferred to the capital and Li Ming be transferred there. This trick aroused the disgust of many people. Lao Song He even said that he would not go anywhere and would just build planes on 611. In contrast, our navy’s bidding had no contradictions or conspiracies at all, which is too strange.”
"Isn't it strange? Even if Bincheng Shipyard no longer manufactures warships, it can still rely on the opportunities brought by Mingzhou Group to develop. Our country's shipbuilding industry has developed so well. Isn't it all the leader of Mingzhou Group? Is he the leader? By the way, the container ship that made a lot of noise some time ago was broken into two parts. Do you think there is any trace of Mr. Qin? "
"Hey, don't talk nonsense! Can you maliciously speculate on the country's meritorious officials?"
“Lao Wu didn’t say anything, Lao Wang, why are you so angry? I’m just talking.”
"Lao Wu has already gone to get the mop, and he plans to use the mop handle to beat you."
There is a happy atmosphere in the office.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of work, the Huanglou meeting was officially held.
The conference room was full of people, and a large number of naval leaders were also sitting on the rostrum.
For the Navy, this meeting is of great importance. Destroyers are the backbone of the Navy. Once the model is determined, the construction of destroyers will be carried out in large quantities. This is a major event related to the development of the Navy.
Wu Shengli sat in the middle of the rostrum and was responsible for presiding over the meeting. He looked at the people in the conference room and said: "Everyone, I think of the meeting ten years ago when we were developing the 052 destroyer. The destroyer project at that time , our navy is very excited. We finally have gas turbine warships, we finally have air defense missiles, and we finally have towed sonar. Looking back now, the 052 destroyer has long been lagging behind. Now, our navy will have regional air defense Warships with greater capabilities will have warships equipped with more advanced anti-submarine helicopters, and warships will have their own power systems! This is a new beginning, a new journey!"
Everyone was filled with emotions.
Leader Wu is right. In the past ten years, the navy has developed too fast, and all of this is the result of one person.
Some people began to look at Qin Tao frequently. Then, they were surprised to find that compared to before, Mr. Qin brought one more person with him. His wife Zhao Ling was sitting next to him, holding a briefcase in her hand. She looked like an assistant!
Everyone is an insider in the system and knows Zhao Ling, but now, the Zhao Ling dressed as this assistant is very different from the former military industry Zhao Ling. She is more mature, more stable, and full of the charm of a mature woman!
Mr. Qin has married a good wife.
Actually, Zhao Ling was a little hesitant before coming. After all, she is Wu Shengli’s daughter. Is it appropriate to appear openly in a bidding event like this? Will you be gossiped about?
Qin Tao dispelled her worries with a few words: You are the daughter and I am the son-in-law. We both have a father. If we want to avoid suspicion, I can’t go. Anyway, we rely on strength! Besides, our bidding opponents dare not say anything, let alone those who have nothing to do with it.
"In today's meeting, the first thing we need to determine is the process of comparative testing of warships." Wu Shengli continued: "We divided the warships into several major aspects: power, weapons, and comfort, conducted separate tests, and summarized them in a huge table It is composed of objective data and subjective scoring. In the end, the project with the highest score will become the successful project in this bidding."
This seems fair and reasonable, but everyone present knows that this is actually a matter of process.
The Navy did not want the 052B at all. It was only because of cost issues that it had to make compromises. Now, the 14th Institute has greatly reduced the manufacturing cost of the four-sided phased array radar, so there is no need to continue purchasing the 052B. Necessary, this model is probably only the size of a warship.
The details of the form were printed on the big screen, and everyone also had a sample of the form in their hands, and everyone studied it carefully.
“Do you have any opinions on this test form? If so, you can mention it now.” Wu Shengli looked down.
“Our Mingzhou Group is very confident in the destroyer we built, so we want to increase the difficulty.” Zhao Ling spoke.
This was the first time Zhao Ling met everyone in her new identity after changing her job. Therefore, Qin Tao wanted Zhao Ling to express herself more, so she gave her the task of speaking.
“Okay, please speak.” Wu Shengli nodded.
"First of all, we all know that the era of stealth weapons has arrived. When our navy patrols the sea, it will not only encounter various conventional targets, but also stealth targets. Therefore, we recommend that in this test , add the content searched by the stealth machine."
Everyone was startled, and then realized that this was to make their 052C shine!
052C uses a four-sided phased array radar, which is arranged on the front bridge. The rear sub-mast is freed up, and a special meter-wave radar antenna is installed there. According to the technical summary of the relevant departments, this thing is not only cheap, In addition to its low power consumption and ability to be turned on for a long time for aerial vigilance, it also has an important task: discovering stealth aircraft.
052B uses four small shields on the bridge mast and a large rotating shield at the back. This greatly saves costs, but at the same time, it also makes it impossible to install a meter-wave radar and cannot meet the challenge of stealth aircraft.
Hence, 052C won the bid based on its real strength, not nepotism.
If this is added, the final score of 052C will be better and the defeat of 052B will be even worse.
Thinking of this, they all looked at Sun Xuewen with pity, and found that Sun Xuewen was smiling bitterly, but it was just a bitter smile, not angry, and they did not jump out to accuse the Mingzhou Group of not respecting martial ethics.
“Whether to add this content or not, let our subjective evaluation team of fifty people vote by a show of hands.” Wu Shengli said.
So, fifty arms were raised in unison.
There are forty people in this team who are all from the navy. Of course they hope to monitor the stealth machine and must support it. The remaining ten people are all seniors in the shipbuilding industry and have lofty values for the country and the military. A sense of mission and responsibility, of course, will not be opposed.
"Okay, this article passes. Considering our current equipment situation, let's use the J-31A as a test aircraft. We can also see the stealth performance of the J-31A." Wu Shengli said arrive.
At this time, no one at the scene knew how shocking the results of this test were to the Navy, so much so that the Navy decided on the spot to purchase twenty J-31As as a supplement to the Navy's carrier-based aircraft force, and even It is determined that on the next aircraft carrier, the number of J-31A will account for half of the number of carrier-based aircraft!
"Second, what we are testing this time is an air defense destroyer, so we must focus on air defense capabilities. The Navy only plans to dispatch two target drones for the test, which cannot simulate actual combat at all. We request to dispatch ten fighter planes and twenty Target drones, thirty military drones, and forty civilian aircraft models formed a hundred targets, approaching our warships from different directions, different heights and speeds to test the destroyer's true ability to resist saturation attacks. ability."
Hundred goals, this is going to defy the heavens! Everyone is very excited. These tests are almost all aimed at the weaknesses of 052B. The rotating phased array radar will definitely not be able to refresh it!
“Is this dangerous?” Someone finally started to object.
"Our fighter jets are all at high altitude. During the test, we only need to maintain supervision and cannot attack." Zhao Ling said: "Military drones and model aircraft are at mid-altitude, while target drones are at ultra-low altitude. In terms of flight status, if the Navy is willing to spend money on target drones and let us conduct live-fire target shooting, it will only need to fly the target drone with the lowest flying altitude."
Wu Shengli nodded: “We can let our subjective evaluation team pick a low-altitude target at will.”
