Chapter 712 Spending money happily
Just when they wanted to express their dissatisfaction, some comrades had different opinions.
These comrades are none other than the Haifa Bureau.
They don't know much about professional technology, but they do understand "don't look at advertisements to see the efficacy."
There is no doubt that in their eyes, Gao Zhendong belongs to the type with full efficacy.
Don't worry about someone's major, just ask you when did they do something unreliable before?
Did people listen to most of what he said?
Are all the projects he has made great progress or successful?
In fact, have most of the things he opposed been suspended or even terminated?
So from the perspective of the China Sea Decoration Bureau, I don’t want you to think it, I want us to think it.
"Comrades, since the National Defense Work Committee has requested this, let us suspend our current work and resolve this matter first. Sharpening the sword will not delay the cutting of firewood. At least we can prove that a certain direction is wrong. It’s not a waste either.”
Although the ideas are firm, the comrades of the Haisheng Bureau spoke euphemistic.
Besides, the National Defense Work Committee is your superior leader. We are willing to cooperate. Do you still want to go against your superiors?
Don’t forget, the current National Defense Work Committee is still a semi-military system.
Obviously, ship design experts also understand this matter. Complaints are complaints, but orders are orders.
Then simply solve this problem first.
They opened the drawings and hung them on the blackboard, and a group of comrades engaged in fluid mechanics gathered together.
"The standard discharge is 3,000 tons, and the full discharge is 4,000 tons. It just happens to be stuck in the center we are planning to build."
"What's weird about this? I also attended the last meeting."
"Don't forget, he was the one who proposed the plan."
Several comrades watched and discussed.
"Hey, the bow of this ship is beneficial for higher speeds."
Although I haven't calculated it yet, there are some things that don't need to be calculated. Experienced people can know what their performance orientation is just by looking at the appearance.
"But the taper is so sharp that it is unfavorable for beach surfing and the layout of springboards. The springboards required are relatively long. The only way is to use sliding springboards, but sliding springboards will occupy valuable cabin area."
It seems that he is indeed an amateur. He has no problem with the general direction and is an absolute master. However, when it comes to the details of specific ship types, he is still not as good as professionals.
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Did you see this part of the design description? They said that there are two springboards that are deployed hydraulically."
"This...if designed properly, it seems to be possible."
This is a relatively simple mechanical design, and it is not surprising that Chief Engineer Gao can consider it.
"Overall, the requirements for beach washing and beach retreat should be met."
"Chief Engineer Gao deserves to be from the army. He is very experienced in meeting the needs of the army and responding accordingly."
"You are so far-fetched. Chief Engineer Gao retired from the Army, not the Navy!"
"But this ship is carrying an army."
"What are you two talking about? Let's get down to business! The adduction of the ship's stern can indeed improve the hydrodynamic performance, but will it affect the internal cabin layout?"
"This shouldn't be a big problem. This is the back half, so it won't have much impact on the main cabin."
"Don't look at it, don't look at it, just check the calculation. I see that Chief Engineer Gao's design description contains relevant calculation basis and instructions. For items that are not listed, the calculation conditions are basically sufficient and can be calculated."
"Don't rush to do the math first. Check to see if there are any problems with his basis, constants, and formulas. If there are any problems, you don't have to do the math later."
"No need to look, I've seen it, no problem..."
Hearing this, the comrades of the Marine Decoration Bureau were very happy. Is it really useful?
Regarding this thing, their idea is to hit it with some success. The main reason is that Gao Zhendong's reputation is too famous and the results are too good. What if it works? But I don’t have much hope in my heart, after all, the crossover is a bit harsh.
But after listening to these ship experts discussing it for a long time, it seems that at least so far, no problem has been found.
Regarding this trend, the Haifa Decoration Bureau said it is happy to see it.
Ship design is complex, but this stage is simple. At least through some not too many selected parameters and not too complicated calculations, some conclusions can be calculated. These conclusions can support designers to understand certain core parameters. range, such as speed.
Time passed quickly, and the faces of the comrades working on the fluid became more and more strange. As the comrade responsible for calculation made the last stroke, several comrades raised their heads and looked at each other.
Seeing that they didn't speak, the comrades from the Marine Decoration Bureau were a little anxious. What are you doing? What's the result? Let's talk about it.
"Comrades, how is the situation?"
Several comrades in charge of fluid mechanics looked at each other and quietly exchanged opinions.
Then one of them spoke: "Based on the empirical formula, the calculated speed range of this ship type does cover 18 knots under the set engine power." The comrades of the Marine Equipment Bureau were overjoyed, ha, just say Gao Zhendong Comrades are reliable.
But what does your expression mean? Shouldn’t everyone laugh? It makes me happy.
"Is there any problem?"
The person thought for a while and said: "Although this range covers 18 knots, it does not mean that it will definitely fall into the range of around 18 knots, because the lower limit of this range is 15 knots, and the possibility of 15 knots cannot be ruled out. ”
15 knots is fine, it’s much better than 11 knots, the comrades from the Marine Decoration Bureau thought to themselves, but they couldn’t say this out loud.
"How does Chief Engineer Gao judge whether it can meet the 18-section indicator requirements?"
"Chief Engineer Gao's calculations have several more preset conditions and self-set formulas than ours. Calculated based on these things, it is indeed 18 sections. But these conditions and formulas have never been seen before, and there is no record of their application. …”
The comrades of the Maritime Installation Bureau understood. In layman's terms, after Gao Zhendong taught himself ship design, he came up with some new things, which further proved that this ship type can indeed run up to 18 knots under set conditions. .
But the question now is, are these new things Gao Zhendong himself doing right?
From an emotional point of view, comrades who work on ships tend to believe it. After all, they can produce equipment with higher standards. Who wouldn't want to?
But in fact, it cannot be so hasty.
Comrades, it will be difficult to deal with a tangled issue.
This is an unverifiable problem, but the China Shipping Bureau has its own method.
"Comrades, do you have any plan to achieve a speed of more than 15 knots at this power?"
This question is a killer!
Comrades from various shipbuilding research institutes, since they came to demonstrate, most of them are interested in bidding, so they have naturally made relevant considerations.
Think about it first, and strive to be biased towards your own unit in certain parameter details when making the argument. When it comes time to bid, it will be fine.
Although in theory Gao Zhendong has stipulated that early-stage staff are not allowed to participate in the bidding, the specific issues still need to be analyzed in detail.
At this time, the circle is too small, and the comrades participating in the demonstration cannot escape the scope of the bidding unit.
For this type of special case, there will actually be similar exceptions in future bidding and service procurement regulations, such as single-source procurement, such as EPC (engineering and construction general contracting), etc.
Since they had already considered it, everyone responded very quickly.
"No."
"The upper limit can be touched, but the lower limit is much lower."
"Just force it..."
"It can be related..."
Some are more honest, while others are more vacillating in their answers.
But in short, the results are not satisfactory. After all, they are all considered overall plans. The work is in a very early stage and has not been optimized yet, so the results are naturally not good-looking.
Hearing the answers from the comrades, the Marine Equipment Bureau was happy: "Then what are you considering? There are no functional flaws in Chief Engineer Gao's plan, right? Even according to your calculations, the speed index is number one, right?"
Other comrades have no objections to this conclusion, it is written in black and white.
Your eyes may deceive you, your ears may deceive you, but mathematics does not.
Mathematics is a stupid thing. If you can't do it, you just can't do it.
"That's easy. This plan will be initially used as the ship type plan after the demonstration is completed. Whatever needs to be done, it should be done according to this."
This makes the comrades who work on ships very helpless. After all, the ship type has been determined, so they are dancing in shackles and must do things under certain established rules, which is somewhat disadvantageous to them.
The most important thing is that Gao Zhendong's new gadgets are unproven. If there are hidden problems, not only the 18th section may not be achieved, but even the 15th section may not be achieved. In that case, it will be a waste of national funds. .
But there is no way to object. After all, according to existing theories and empirical calculations, the one given by Gao Zhendong is indeed the fastest.
In fact, if you give the comrades enough time, you might not be able to come up with something similar, but what Gao Zhendong wants is to save time. Since I can help with this matter, I won't be polite.
The comrades from the Maritime Decoration Bureau seemed to know the concerns of the comrades, and added: "During the demonstration period, please comrades organize relevant personnel to conduct model verification on Comrade Gao Zhendong's plan. We have paid for this, and it is worth it." . Firstly, to dispel worries and eliminate hidden dangers. Secondly, if there is no problem with the model verification, then comrades can use more methods in ship design.”
Model verification does not cost much. Especially judging from current theoretical calculations, this money must be spent, and it must be spent happily!
Does the Marine Equipment Bureau pay for verification? That's no problem, everyone is happy.
It doesn’t delay things, and it can use the solution that seems to have the best performance so far. It doesn’t even need to be verified. It’s totally fine. As long as it can reach 15 knots after verification, it will be a pure profit.
It would be even better if it could be verified that the new things developed by Gao Zhendong can be used as empirical formulas or empirical conditions. Not only does it have an 18-section landing ship, but it can also be applied to other designs. Wouldn’t it be beautiful?
