Chapter 699 It must be at least 200 nautical miles, right?
Others may not know whether his words are true or false, but the comrades of the National Defense Work Committee and the Maritime Decoration Bureau know very well that these words are true!
Whether it is the Z-5 modified attack aircraft or the development of light solid anti-ship missiles, the progress is very smooth, especially the test flight of the Z-5 replaced with the full-blood version LYP-6 has not yet been completed, but the initial flight quality and The mounting capability has already made comrades who have used the Laoban-5 call "good guy!"
"But if I remember correctly, there are some problems with the effectiveness of aircraft anti-ship missiles due to the influence of sea clutter, right?" This person is a technician.
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, theoretically there is this problem. But things must be looked at from two sides. First, the impact of sea clutter is not as great as ground clutter. Second, this problem is being solved, and the situation is good. , as for how to solve it, I won’t say it here.”
The comrades working on the radar are very happy now.
But since this comrade does not know, it means that he knows the theoretical issues, but has no specific contact with the relevant work, so that can only be said so much.
To be honest, no one else would be able to answer questions like Gao Zhendong, because unlike him, this guy knows everything.
Those who came today are of sufficient level. I can’t say the specifics. I can still reveal the general situation, otherwise the leader of the National Defense Work Committee would have shouted “stop it”. He smiled and said: "Well, I testify that what Comrade Gao Zhendong said is true. I won't say more."
These words made the comrades present immediately burst into laughter. If they were not happy to hear such good news, there was something wrong.
"Great! This is the best news I heard today!"
"So that's it? Then Chief Engineer Gao's suggestion has considerable practical significance."
"Then why bother? Let the plane drown them."
"That won't work. In systematic operations, everyone still needs to perform their duties."
"..."
A comrade suddenly thought of a question: "But I have a question, can we gain air control over the strait?"
It's hard for anyone to answer this, mainly because this is the scope of the Air Force, and it's hard for anyone to boast for others.
Gao Zhendong thought for a while: "This doesn't matter anymore. If you can't get air supremacy, it means that big ships and small boats are the same. It's better to build more cheap boats. If you can get air supremacy, it means that in this area We don’t need big ships in the combat area, but we need to build more small boats. After all, we are not fighting all the time. For normal tasks, it is easier to do things with more people.”
Ah, this... everyone lost their temper by Gao Zhendong's words. These words were actually quite ridiculous, but they seemed to make some sense.
In the minds of those who do not yet have the concept of "regional air defense ships", they naturally cannot think of this method of using the sea to control the air and gain combat opportunities for a party that lacks air superiority.
In fact, there are no large ships in the strait. The biggest reason is this. It is too close to the air force bases of both sides, resulting in the cost-effectiveness of large ships being far inferior to the "aircraft + small boat" model.
The comrades of the Maritime Installation Bureau are not happy with this. Damn it, what about my big ship? What about a ship as big as mine?
"Comrade Zhendong, in your opinion, the big ship will not be built?"
Gao Zhendong shook his head: "No, I'm talking about 'no big ships in the strait', not 'big ships are useless'. There is still a big difference between the two. I will talk about the specific big ships later."< br>
The comrade from the Shipping Decoration Bureau felt relieved: "Yeah, yeah, then you can speak slowly first, we have a lot of time."
Gao Zhendong nodded: "Since you accept my hypothesis first, let's discuss what kind of boats we need when the strait is the main battlefield. As for the gunboats, I think there is no need to say more. Comrades have just said As mentioned, our latest 125-ton boat has been put into service and the effect is very good. I think there is no problem in using this type of boat for offshore patrol and defense.”
Everyone nodded. The 125-ton artillery escort boat was officially put into service not long ago. Although there are some minor changes that need to be made, it has been determined that it can very well replace the previous various types of small gunboats to complete offshore patrols and operations. Mission, this is indeed nothing to discuss.
The reason why Gao Zhendong didn't say much about the gunboat was because he knew the situation and future development of this type of boat, so he was not prepared to make any suggestions regarding the gunboat.
This small boat of more than 100 tons has a total output of nearly 400, and its export volume has reached three digits. Its combat radius is more than 360 kilometers. The price is still low, and its firepower is fierce. It not only has a large amount of equipment, but also has outstanding combat achievements. That is true. Being stained with the blood of the enemy, none of our later mighty and majestic real ships can compare with this.
It can be said that as a cheap offshore patrol boat, Gao Zhendong can't think of anything better than it, and the combat radius basically covers the west coast of Angelica Island. As for the east coast, Gao Zhendong has other ideas. . Everyone nodded in agreement with Gao Zhendong's judgment, especially the comrades of the Marine Equipment Bureau. To be honest, this 125-ton gunboat is also a proud achievement of the hard work of them who are responsible for the maritime equipment and the comrades of the scientific research factory. do.
"With the daily patrol and defense force, we need to have a kind of equipment that can kill all kinds of enemy equipment with one hit, no matter how big or small. This type of equipment is the missile boat. As for the torpedo boat, as I said just now, soon Just use it now.”
In Gao Zhendong's previous life, torpedo boats were mass-produced, and there was another reason why missile boats matured relatively late. However, in this life, Lao Maozi was relatively cooperative in the transfer of data and imitation of missile boats.
"Although model 6621 has been successfully copied, it is not cheap."
Regarding the imitation 6621, everyone here is engaged in maritime equipment related work. They are all familiar with the record of sinking two large ships of more than 1,000 tons on the opposite side with four missiles during the imitation test.
They are satisfied with this type of equipment and have no doubts about it. The only problem is that the price is quite expensive.
On the 6621, there are 4 Zhanxian No. 1 anti-ship missiles. The hull of more than 200 tons has a top speed of 40 knots. Plus radar and other things, the total price is not cheap for us now.
Another person thought of something: "What does Mr. Gao mean by making a large number of imitation boats of 6623?"
There is no difference between this thing and the 6621. It is just a smaller one, with two fewer missiles, so it will be cheaper.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "I don't think we should build 6623. It is too small and of little significance. In terms of price, if we leave two empty launch tubes without installing missiles, the biggest difference between 6621 and 6623, apart from the electronic equipment, is Two, one is the engine, the other is the steel consumption..."
If the 6623 imitation model was meaningful to us because of its low price and large quantity in the timeline of Gao Zhendong's previous life, then in this life, it really doesn't mean much. The same equipment, sooner or later when it matures, will It has brought about a big difference in the development process, and now we have a lot of equipment that has matured in advance.
As soon as this was said, everyone thought, what could be the reason for this happening today? Isn't it just an extra batch of steel quotas, and this steel quota is not a one-time deal, because it is said that the technology that can additionally increase steel production will continue to be used. Even if next year is not set in the form of specific indicators like this time, the fact that there will be a big improvement will not change.
The full load displacement of 6621 is more than 100 tons higher than that of 6623, which does not seem to be a large amount. With steel, the offshore equipment bureau is more confident.
In fact, the biggest problem of 6623 is still small. Its seaworthiness and self-sustainability are incomparable with 6621.
"Although we have not joined the International Maritime Convention, it does not prevent us from making some plans in accordance with this convention. The 6623 has only a self-sustaining capacity of 400 nautical miles and cannot support a combat radius of 200 nautical miles. This means that the 6623 type company's 200 nautical mile dedicated Even the economic zone cannot be escorted, but the self-sustainability of the Type 6621 of about 800 nautical miles is enough to complete this task. This is why I did not make any suggestions for the 125-ton gunboat. Its combat radius is 200 nautical miles, which is just enough. "< br>
The combat radius of the 125-ton boat we built is exactly 200 nautical miles, which may be due to this reason.
Although we joined the UNCLOS decades later, it does not matter if we follow the relevant rules in advance. It is like we have not actually joined the arms control treaty decades later, but under normal circumstances we still only sell range 290 Kilometers of missiles.
Once there is a basis and a standard, many things will be easier to handle, even if we have not legally recognized this standard.
When you hear this, it makes sense. Even if we have not participated in this convention, it is still good to refer to other people's ready-made products. At least, it must be able to protect 200 nautical miles, right?
Thinking about it this way, 6623 is indeed almost meaningless.
Seeing that everyone thought it was reasonable, Gao Zhendong added: "And if a certain type of anti-ship missile is successfully developed, this missile can replace the imitation 6621 No. 1. It will not be effective against small and medium-sized enemy ships." will decrease, and it can further improve maintainability, reliability, and improve the living environment of personnel.”
The comrades of the Maritime Installation Bureau immediately knew what Gao Zhendong was up to. The light solid anti-ship missiles that have been successfully developed are now less than half the weight of Zhengxian No. 1, and the launch box is much lighter, with the same 8 bombs. It can save at least 8 to 10 tons of weight and about 20 square meters of deck space to improve the living performance, not to mention the simplification of some maintenance and testing equipment, which can also bring some weight and volume reduction benefits.
Don't underestimate the weight and area. Taken together, even if you can build a tin house of a few square meters on the deck, the soldiers can have a good sleep.
But 6623 does not have this condition. Even if it saves weight, it does not save much area, and it does not make much sense.
Besides, who wants a small one when you can have a big one?
Heartbeat! Heartbeat!
"Well, Comrade Zhendong's suggestion is very necessary for further demonstration." The comrade of the Marine Equipment Bureau smiled.
