According to Qin Tao's plan, a replica version of the AK630 naval gun will be installed in the front of this catamaran missile boat. Now, the hull has been completely built, the engine has been installed and debugged, and various radar and missile equipment are being installed.
At such a critical moment, something went wrong with the imitation of naval guns?
Of course, there are alternatives, such as the navy's most common twin-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns.
The anti-aircraft guns of naval warships were initially open-top and manually controlled, and the interception effect was conceivable. Later, they began to imitate the Soviet-made AK230 double-barreled naval guns. It took 18 years and was finally finalized in the late 1970s, named 76-type double 37
mm naval gun, the total gun weighs 5 tons, has radar, commander and electrical servo system. Later, the fully enclosed and remote-controlled 76A dual 37 mm naval gun was improved. The 052 destroyer currently in production uses this kind of gun.
.
This twin-mounted 37mm gun has a rate of fire that is too low to intercept modern anti-ship missiles. Even if it is installed, it is better than nothing and serves as a final comfort.
If you want to truly realize short-range defense, you must use multi-barreled Gatling guns with a rate of fire of several thousand rounds per minute to meet the requirements of the last interception line.
Therefore, the Navy is also full of expectations for the AK630 naval gun that Qin Tao obtained.
6 represents six launch tubes, and 30 represents a caliber of 30 mm. The six-tube 30 mm gun rotates and fires, and it is bound to be able to project a large number of shells in the shortest time, forming a dense barrage to meet the needs of intercepting anti-ship missiles.
Squatting such a cannon on the bow of a stealth catamaran missile boat is also full of power. Qin Tao was still waiting eagerly. Who would have thought that he would get such news.
Encountering technical problems with imitation?
Things like AK630 should not cause problems! After all, the characteristics of this kind of equipment are simple structure and no high-tech equipment. It was just a product of Lao Maozi in the 1960s and 1970s. Based on the level of domestic copycats,
What else could be wrong?
"What technical problem occurred?" Qin Tao asked.
"I'm not sure about this either," Liu Shenggen said.
The inspection of the missile launchers was quickly completed. After the military representatives signed, the eight launchers were hoisted into the tail of the missile boat. The space reserved was just right. The launcher for the No. 2 missile boat was put in first.
In the warehouse.
By nightfall, the installation will be complete.
Shipyard canteen.
"The supporting radar and other electronic equipment will also be shipped in the near future." Liu Shenggen said: "I guarantee that your assembly work will not be delayed. Although what is produced here is just an ordinary missile boat, the navy attaches great importance to it.
All materials will be deployed in a timely manner."
"We are also confident that we can complete the production of this missile boat as soon as possible." Qin Tao raised his wine glass: "Brother, come on, let me toast you."
"There are rules in our hospital. You can't be too extravagant when you go to a brother's unit. We can only have one drink of this wine. Take your time." Liu Shenggen said.
"All of this equipment will be in place in time. It's just the naval gun issue. If it delays the progress, it will be troublesome. We can't get a counterweight to temporarily replace it." Qin Tao brought up this issue again.
In the production of warships, if some naval guns are not in place, they are indeed temporarily replaced by counterweights. Especially in the battleship era, when they were driven out of the production factory for sea trials, they might be cement turrets.
But in modern times, this would be child's play.
"How about we go over and take a look?" Zhao Ling said, "Maybe we can help them solve the problem?"
"This..." Qin Tao hesitated.
"Other radar equipment is coming one after another. We haven't had any installation projects for the past few days. We can just take advantage of this gap to go over and take a look at the naval guns. Others may not be able to solve it, but Qin Gong is the best at creating miracles."
Zhao Ling turned to look at Meng Fansheng: "Team leader, what do you think?"
Meng Fansheng nodded: "We can't let this project delay our progress. Zhao Ling, you go there with Qin Gong tomorrow and give you three days. After dinner, I will open a letter of introduction for you."
"Yeah." Zhao Ling nodded.
713 institutes.
This research institute is mainly responsible for the research and development of naval guns. Almost all the navy's naval guns are produced from this research institute, such as 37 mm naval guns, 57 mm naval guns, 76 mm naval guns, and 100 mm naval guns.
When it arrives, it will also imitate modern-class 130mm naval guns.
Since they have been deeply involved in the field of naval guns for many years, the imitation work of the AK630 naval gun was naturally handed over to them. They are very dedicated and have already copied this naval gun.
The mushroom-headed multi-barreled machine gun stands on the shooting range of the institute, and a bunch of people are milling around this naval gun.
If you only look at the turret part above, you can see that it is very small and even a little cute. When installed on the warship, it only exposed a small mushroom-head-like turret, but in fact, underneath it, there are
There is a huge ammunition supply device, and the volume below it is many times that of the top. It is estimated that an extra-large oil drum is needed to wrap the contents below it.
"Every time I shoot, the accuracy is horribly low. What's going on?" A white-haired old man looked at the bullet holes on the target paper and frowned.
Their imitation was easy, but when they were tested at the shooting range, they encountered big problems.
It's obviously just a short-range gun with a range of a few kilometers, but the accuracy of the fired shells is so poor that it can't even compare to the old 57mm naval gun! 捌旒7zw
The accuracy is too low, how can it be finalized and delivered to the troops? It simply cannot meet the requirements!
They have a headache.
"Gong Xia, I'm wondering if Lao Maozi's gun originally had low accuracy? Unfortunately, we only have one gun, which we disassembled for mapping and imitation. There is no way to test the shooting accuracy of the original AK630," said the technician on the side.
.
"Yes, if the original accuracy is not high, then our gun, even if it is successfully copied, can be handed over to the army." Another technician said.
"Stop complaining!" Xia Bei, the engineer in charge of surveying and mapping the imitation gun, said: "Even if Lao Maozi's AK630 gun is not very accurate, we must work hard to improve its accuracy. We cannot make a substandard gun
Weapons are provided to the Navy, otherwise it is a crime!”
Everyone fell silent.
Xia Bei continued: "If we can't improve its accuracy to a satisfactory level, then what's the point of our surveying and mapping imitation? We might as well just give it to our brother units!"
"Of course not. We are a manufacturer of naval guns. If we lose to a manufacturer of aircraft cannons, we will be too embarrassed!" The technicians immediately mustered up their fighting spirit.
Absolutely can't lose!
"Yes, let's use our brains and think about what went wrong." Xia Bei continued.
"How about putting on airs?" At this moment, a voice came from behind.
