Everyone here is an expert in ship development, and they know that it takes a long time for a 16,000-ton cargo ship to accelerate to its maximum speed, and it often takes an hour for some giant ships of more than 100,000 tons to accelerate from zero to 16 knots.
This can only be achieved when the power unit is fully preheated.
Ships using steam turbines as power accelerate slowly because the steam turbine takes a long time to perform this process, while the advantage of a gas turbine is that it starts quickly and accelerates quickly.
As for the all-diesel combined power plant, it is roughly in between the two.
Therefore, everyone has a psychological value for the acceleration time of Endeavor.
However, they soon discovered that the Endeavor's speed increased very quickly, and it felt different from other ships that also used diesel engines as main engines.
Is it an illusion?
Wang Jianqi couldn't help but get up and walk over to look at the speedometer. The pointer on it clearly pointed at 16 knots and was rising rapidly.
"Is the speedometer broken?" Wang Jianqi asked subconsciously.
Guan Hailin glanced at him and said, "All the instruments in the cockpit are normal."
Wang Jianqi pointed to the speedometer and said, "It hasn't been long yet. Why is it only 16 knots? This is wrong."
Guan Hailin glanced at him again and ignored him.
Yao Yuan pretended that he didn't hear what Wang Jianqi said and just said a few words to Yang Zhiqian to give him face. If he didn't give him face, he was nothing.
Shortly after the meal, Yao Yuan contacted Zhong Weiguo by satellite phone and learned some information. Therefore, he was not so worried about Yang Zhiqian, a technical team with a background in shipbuilding industry, coming to find trouble.
They are all grasshoppers after the fall, but little people like Wang Jianqi who are pushed to the front have no idea that they are already in the center of the whirlpool, and will be shattered into pieces if they are not careful.
People who are engaged in technology should concentrate on technology, like Mr. Lao does, like Zhu Yingjie, because there is a fundamental point - no matter what the environment is, high-tech talents are needed.
Once other things are mixed in, it will be different.
Everyone clearly felt that the Endeavor's power was getting stronger and stronger, and its speed increased very quickly.
Experienced people can go to the cabin window, open it, feel the wind, and then compare it with today's weather. They can judge the approximate speed without looking at the speedometer.
Yang Zhiqian was finally shocked. He stood up and walked over and asked, "Xiao Yao, your all-diesel combined propulsion device is different."
This involves the secret of the Quanchai combined power plant. Yao Yuan smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, this area is still confidential for the time being."
The maximum power of a single unit of 9,000 horsepower is already terrifying, but there is actually even more powerful technology inside.
Is the all-diesel combined power plant developed by Chunfeng Academy of Science really not just a copy of MTU's product?
Yang Zhiqian was thinking that the German MTU company had transferred a complete set of all-diesel combined power propulsion device technology to the Chunfeng Academy of Science. Logically speaking, in such a short period of time, it was very impressive that the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences could understand it thoroughly, copy it and ship it for use.
Amazing.
Are there other more powerful technical blessings?
Could it be a more advanced diesel-fuel combined power propulsion device?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhiqian said, "Xiao Yao, I want to go and see the engine room."
"Your body..." Yao Yuan was a little worried.
Yang Zhiqian waved his hand and said, "I'm about the same age as an old man, and my health is fine."
"Okay, I'll have someone take you there." Yao Yuan called Zhan Chenggui over and asked him to take Yang Zhiqian to the engine room.
Wang Jianqi and several other disciples saw this and quickly followed the teacher.
In fact, Yang Zhiqian is quite resistant to coming to the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences to find trouble. He and Nian Haihong know each other, and the top technical groups are basically in such a small circle. He is relatively familiar with the situation of the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, and does not think that the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences is in
Fake.
But the problem is that the Chen family doesn't care whether Chunfeng Academy of Sciences is real or fake. Their purpose is to find trouble and find an excuse that can be used.
Yang Zhiqian had no choice but to come. He had to consider several disciples as well as himself...
This is the reason why he didn't support or oppose anything all the way. He didn't take a stand even though a few disciples were tossing him around.
But now he can't sit still. This is due to his desire for new technologies and the greatest respect an old scientific researcher has for his job.
The current acceleration performance of the Endeavor is definitely better than that of a diesel engine of the same power. Either it is not a full-diesel combined power unit, or it is a full-diesel combined power unit with the blessing of new technology. No matter which one it is, it means that there is something that makes the engine more powerful.
Yang Zhiqian, an academician in the field of power, is paying close attention to the new technology.
Yao Yuan was not afraid that Yang Zhiqian would see it, or that Yang Zhiqian would not be able to see it at all.
Yang Zhiqian's team went to the engine room together. After Zhu Yingjie took a look at the operation of each equipment, he was also very surprised and asked, "Xiao Yao, your diesel combined power unit has something else, right? This
The acceleration performance is almost as good as that of a gas turbine.”
Zhu Yingjie went to sea with the 112 ship more than once and knew how good the acceleration performance of the 112 using the lm2500 gas turbine was. In fact, among the equipment series of surface ships of the People's Navy, the 112 ship is the fastest and also the fastest accelerating.
Now this 16,000-ton ro-ro ship has demonstrated acceleration performance that is not inferior to that of the lm2500 gas turbine, which of course makes Zhu Yingjie feel strange.
Yao Yuan smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhu, you have been looking in the engine room for an hour. Did you notice anything?"
Zhu Yingjie shook his head, "Nothing was found."
Yao Yuan was quite proud and said, "This shows that our confidentiality measures are quite good."
At this moment, one of the technical backbones of Zhu Yingjie's team suddenly said, "Is it related to the propulsion system?"
Yao Yuan's smile suddenly froze, and he followed the voice in surprise. What he saw was a man in his thirties, with a bit of a donkey face, and his eyes were steady and sharp.
Hey, this person looks a bit familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere?
But soon, Yao Yuan was frightened by this person's speculation.
The man knew that he had guessed correctly as soon as he saw Yao Yuan's expression, and continued, "It should be that a more efficient propulsion method is used, and the thruster may also be improved, Dean Yao, right?"
How does he know?
How come he knows everything?
Did he see it?
The man quickly understood Yao Yuan's concerns. He explained with a smile, "Mr. Zhu can't see it, let alone me. I just suddenly thought of such a possibility."
"You're not a ship designer?" Yao Yuan asked doubtfully.
At this time, Zhu Yingjie also reacted and said, "He is responsible for the power design and cable laying. His name is Liu Mingwei."
The design of the ship body involves so much. Just laying various cables and line design throughout the ship can make a village of designers collapse.
Liu Mingwei, ha? Liu Mingwei!
Yao Yuan's eyes almost popped out of his head as he stared at Liu Mingwei.
It's really him. It turns out that this talented man was so ugly when he was young and not as temperamental as he was more than 20 years later. Maybe his current technical skills are not enough and he has not yet developed the aura of a big shot.
How awesome is this person?
When he was explaining the introduction, the Navy Commander held an umbrella for him, and half of the Navy Commander's body was caught in the rain.
Others rely on one top technology to dominate the world, but he has a bunch of technologies, and any one of them is academician-level. What's even more exaggerated is that almost every year, one of the teams he leads has a first-class meritorious service.
It is too difficult for those engaged in technology to achieve first-class merit. It must fill the domestic technology gap with world-advanced technology. It becomes more difficult in the later stages because it has to be ahead of the United States.
And Liu Mingwei's field is ship power, to be precise, ship power, because all he is engaged in is technology used on military ships.
This talented man is actually following Zhu Yingjie in laying cables at this moment!
At this moment, Yao Yuan had the idea of poaching people, but gave it up in an instant. Not to mention whether he could poach someone, if he came to Chunfeng Academy of Science, would the different environment affect his future technological direction?
The safest way is to let him develop naturally. The best way is to give this talented person a boost through cooperation between institutions, help him achieve faster development in the early stage, and quickly come up with the "leading is ahead of the United States" strategy.
Technology comes.
In Yao Yuan's view, Liu Mingwei in 2020 is enough to be rated as one of China's greatest scientists in more than 70 years, and his technological achievements are as influential as nuclear weapons.
Entering the second decade of the 21st century, the ship construction of the Chinese Navy often encounters such a phenomenon: a finalized ship is built, but a certain technology has made a major breakthrough before it is completed. Everyone is ecstatic and hurriedly changes it.
The design and drawings were changed, and the ship that was originally planned to be built in one year took two years, but this often has epoch-making significance in technology.
To put it bluntly, the speed of technological progress exceeds the speed of ship construction.
Just like when the 052c was launched, the technical team had already started working on the 052d. However, the big drive project team suddenly raised their hands and said that we could finalize the design. So the 052d became a passing internet celebrity before it was launched, and it was accompanied by subsequent extensions.
The style has also lost its ability to attract attention...
This situation puts the naval force in a very, very difficult position.
In 2012 and 2013, the two major shipyards recruited a large number of skilled workers. One shipyard hired more than 5,000 people in one year. The navy did not pay attention to it, so it was exhausted two years later - there were not enough manpower to accept new ships.
, because the speed of entering the water is too fast!
The craziest year saw the launch of 22 new ships!
The navy woke up from a dream, and quickly recalled experienced retired sailors, and quickly found ways to improve the current training model for new sailors, from entering the shipyard in advance to familiarize themselves with the situation to one-for-two, with one new ship equipped with two sets of personnel, and subsequent follow-up
Ships of the same type can go to sea for sea trials immediately after being launched into the water, which greatly improves the reception speed and greatly shortens the time to form combat effectiveness...
Behind all this, super masters like Liu Mingwei are quietly promoting technological research and development at a crazy speed. The speed is so fast that the naval forces doubt their lives.
The Navy decided to build a batch of 1,500-ton light frigates to replace all frigates, gunboats, and patrol boats. They can also perform certain near and distant sea patrol missions. Therefore, the Type 056 frigate was built, and 70 of them were built at once.
But no one thought that since 052b, the technology of new types of destroyers and frigates such as 054a, 052c, 052d, 052dl, and 055 would be updated so quickly and the construction speed would be so fast. All of a sudden, the status of the 056 type frigate that would have been entrusted with important tasks would be very embarrassing.
!
In other words, the naval force at this time no longer looks down upon the Type 056 frigate, which is only 1,500 tons...
Therefore, the transfer process was immediately launched to hand over these Type 056 frigates, which were more than 80% new, to the Coast Guard in batches...
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Now the military industry cannot meet the needs of the army. Thirty years later, the army's equipment planning will not be able to keep up with the development speed of military industry and the speed of technological development...
