Chapter 239 The new frigate with full combustion power (an update for last month’s monthly ticket holder’s flying magic, please vote for me)
“Hey, Lao Liu, we are all comrades in the aviation industry system here, you want You can’t poach someone in front of me, right?”
The two seniors are ten years apart, so technically they are not the same age, but they have worked together for a while, and both have or are about to leave their jobs. It's a way of making use of waste heat, so it's a bit of a joke.
“Hey, if you say this, the situation is too small, isn’t it?”
Mr. Liu had obviously already prepared countermeasures, and replied almost without thinking:
"Look, since our navy and air force are all one family, by the same token, even if the aviation industry and the shipbuilding industry are not related by blood, they are at least cousins, and they should help each other out."
Mr. Wang next to him didn’t have any objections to this at first, but he was immediately amused after hearing these words:
“It’s not impossible to help, but what they can do is probably give priority to It doesn’t matter if we deliver orders for naval aviation. Hainan Airlines can’t buy a few aircraft a year anyway...”
Before there were aircraft carriers, the status of shore-based naval aviation was indeed a bit tasteless. Although Nowadays, the military's life is gradually no longer as tight as in the past, but it still has to purchase one or two new ships every year, so the funds that can be allocated to aviation are not enough.
The two new aircraft previously given to the 25th Regiment of the 9th Division can be said to be money squeezed out of the teeth.
Chang Haonan noticed that slightly behind, Zheng Liangqun patted his colleague in navy uniform with a compassionate look on his face.
Lies will never hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
Even Mr. Liu was at a loss for words.
However, he was not here to request a plane for the Naval Aviation today, so he simply waved his hand and ended the topic:
“I can talk about the delivery of the plane slowly, but I went to 701 some time ago. During the inspection, I heard from their chief engineer that the power system of the navy’s new generation frigate was entrusted to the comrades of the Aviation Industry Group.”
After hearing this, Chang Haonan finally understood.
Previously at the Xiangzhou Air Show, he had accidentally met Lin Qing, deputy chief engineer of the 701 Research Institute of Shipbuilding Industry, and the two had discussed the feasibility of choosing a gas turbine power solution on the new frigate. But because he was called to Nanzheng urgently to solve the problem of ice on the Y-8's wings, he did not follow up on the matter.
Now it seems that Chief Engineer Lin must have communicated with the 606 Institute and 410 Factory in Shengjing after he returned.
After all, this kind of matter is related to the fundamental design route of the navy's main battle equipment in the next twenty years or even longer. It is impossible for people to make a decision directly based on a conversation with Chang Haonan at a dinner. .
“Is there such a thing?”
Mr. Wang is obviously very interested in this matter.
As Yan Zhongcheng, who is responsible for the general design of the turbojet 14, he is naturally also the chief designer of subsequent aeroderivative models. He nodded and replied:
"Yes, years ago, Deputy Chief Engineer Lin of the 701 Institute made a special business trip to Shengjing for this matter. He saw our design of aeroderivative combustion using a turbojet 14-core engine, and finally decided to use an all-gas turbine power solution for the new aircraft. Now it should be The plan selection has been completed and the overall design stage has entered.”
“Gas turbines are good things, with strong power, small size, low noise, and fast response. When I was young, those destroyers using steam turbines never stopped. It takes several hours to start a cold engine, but the gas turbine of the new Type 052 destroyer can be started in about 10 minutes, which is also much easier to maintain. "
Mr. Liu, who has a background in the navy, naturally knows this. Yes, he has visited many naval ships of Western countries and is very clear about the gap between domestic and foreign countries in this regard.
The photo of Mr. Liu standing on the USS Raider (Forrest-class CV61, not the CV4 of World War II) looking at the SH3 Sea King anti-submarine helicopter was spread almost all over the Internet in his previous life, and it also became the first sign that China must develop an aircraft carrier. One of the driving forces. Then he gave reassurance to comrades in the aviation industry system:
“Now the United States has banned the sale of the LM2500 to us, but gas turbines are definitely the future development direction, and we still have to If you keep going, your turbojet 14 aeroderivative operation has a bright future, and the navy must continue to support it, and we will definitely not make the same mistake as the previous turbojet 8 aeroderivative operation!"
"Well... ...This is a good thing.”
Mr. Wang was also in a good mood after hearing Yan Zhongcheng’s answer:
"In the past, our financial resources were not strong, and the various scientific research systems were always dispersed and worked independently. The separation between each other was too serious, and a lot of energy was wasted. If we could all communicate with each other like now, the efficiency would definitely be better. It can be lifted a lot.”
Obviously, the old man is also deeply aware of this situation.
"Speaking of this matter, it has something to do with our Comrade Chang Haonan."
Yan Zhongcheng also mentioned Chang Haonan's name in front of the two leaders very appropriately.
After all, the latter is equivalent to raising a hand when the entire Kunlun project is in the most critical moment. Moreover, he is very close to Ding Gaoheng. Now that he has the opportunity, he will naturally return the favor:
< br>
"Comrade Lin Qing told me that the reason why he thought of our 606 Institute so quickly was because he saw the J-8C and Turbojet 14 exhibited at the Xiangzhou Air Show, and then went to see Comrade Xiao Chang at the dinner on the opening day. , and this confirmed the existence and feasibility of the turbojet 14 aero-to-fuel plan."
"Oh?"
The eyes of Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang were focused on Chang Haonan at the same time. .
Especially Mr. Liu, after looking up and down, he directly praised:
“Young comrade has a big picture view. He looks far ahead and doesn’t just look at his own eyes. One-third of an acre is something that many old comrades who have come out of a hail of bullets cannot do.”
Although Mr. Liu and Ding Gaoheng have the same military rank, their positions are a whole level higher. Such an evaluation is naturally not unusual.
“They are all contributing to the country. I also happened to meet Comrade Lin Qing at the air show. Our country is too big, the distance between the research institutes is relatively long, and the current information transmission efficiency is very low. Not high enough, so it is inevitable that there will be poor communication or even working behind closed doors. I believe that with the development and advancement of information technology, this situation will become less and less.”
Based on Chang Haonan’s experience before his rebirth. , he didn’t know much about a figure of Mr. Liu’s level, and it was the first time they met after his rebirth. It was almost impossible to find out the other person’s pulse, so he didn’t take a clear stand like he showed in front of Ding Gaoheng and Song Jian a few days ago. , but used a relatively euphemistic term to attribute the main problem to the technical level.
In fact, from a certain perspective, this is also true. Before entering the Internet era, unless there was an institutionalized and systematic information sharing platform, we could only rely on telephones, telegraphs and word of mouth. Even if Wanting to engage in cross-system cooperation is often powerless.
Given the status of the two seniors, no matter how much they admire Chang Haonan, they can only say this. When they say too much praise to a young man, sometimes it will Become a fetter.
So the conversation quickly moved in other directions.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang temporarily left the three gates and did not continue to the banquet venue.
The atmosphere among everyone suddenly became much more relaxed.
