Warship of Great Power

  Chapter 36 Meritorious Ship No. 531 (Leader Plus 2)

Five-axis linkage CNC machine tools are definitely the best production tools for complex curved surface products, especially propellers. In the 1980s, when they were in the honeymoon period with the West, China imported several sets from the West, and domestically developed five-axis linkage CNC machine tools. , started on this basis.

  Although these imported machine tools cannot yet manufacture large propellers for submarines with a displacement of several thousand tons, it is still no problem to manufacture water jet propellers for missile speedboats with a displacement of several hundred tons.

   "I heard that these CNC machine tools need to be programmed to use. So far, we can only use the programs attached to imported machines to produce established products. We are still studying those programs in our country. No one can write programs for brand-new products."

   There are still knowledgeable people on the scene. After all, the propeller processed by that thing can greatly reduce the underwater noise of the submarine. They rushed to ask for advice, and the result? No one can write programs, they haven't understood the principle of the machine yet.

   "I understand." Qin Tao said, "I can write related programs."

   "You understand?"

   "Either, spend precious foreign exchange and import from abroad, or try it yourself, you choose."

"Okay, then let's try! We are responsible for coordinating." The on-site leader made a decision: "Although there are still many details, but now, in view of the excellent design, I personally agree to hand over our order for passenger ships to Mingzhou Shipyard will no longer consider other design institutes and shipyards."

Just as Qin Tao guessed, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Many people are staring at it. Although Qin Tao has made great contributions, there are also people who have the cheek to ask for the contract of the missile boat. What they say is ugly. The shipyard that was almost closed down was only at the level of building fishing boats. How could it undertake the tasks of passenger ships or even warships?

  Navy executives also wavered, but now, looking at Qin Tao's design plan, they have been completely convinced, and the task of building a passenger ship first is handed over to Mingzhou Shipyard.

   "Other design institutes and shipyards?" Qin Tao grasped this sentence, and then looked at Pang Jianmin and Zhang Zhen: "Both of you, the things you promised you almost didn't count?"

  The expressions on the faces of both of them were very embarrassing. They were soft-mouthed and soft-handed. They took four torpedoes and agreed to the construction contract of a small surface wave-piercing catamaran. They almost turned yellow in the end.

"Of course not." The leader came over in time to make a rescue: "We were originally inclined towards the Mingzhou Shipyard. Now, with such an advanced design as yours, we have nothing to say. There is a design office in the south, and we also want to Undertake this task, but they can’t do it themselves, and they have to cooperate with Australians, but in this way, the price will go up. Your design is advanced, and it’s all based on China, so the price can also let you We are satisfied, the superior allocated two million for this project, you..."

   "We will charge 1.9 million yuan, and the remaining 100,000 yuan will be kept in the headquarters as your office expenses." Qin Tao said very kindly. It's normal to get kickbacks from projects. The army in the 1980s and 1990s was very difficult. Facing the pitiful military expenditures, the heads of the various troops felt headaches, and then, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, some troops ate meat, and some troops ate wild vegetables.

   "Okay." This kind of thing, let's talk about it directly, and everyone is not embarrassed. The leader immediately agreed: "However, if the design indicators cannot be met..."

   "We owe two million to the troops." Qin Tao was straightforward.

   "In order to deceive people, we need to set up a special passenger ship company, so as not to be seen by the outside world as a military project." The leader said: "If there is no problem, we will sign the contract now."

   Qin Baoshan, who had been sitting there watching the excitement, now it was his turn to play.

In the early 1980s, the domestic shipbuilding industry was devastated. In order to develop, the country decided to go out and undertake shipbuilding for customers from various countries. It was only after negotiations began that there were quite a lot of details in the contract, even the direction of the cables, the design of the gangway, There are specific specifications. The thick international standard contract seems extremely cumbersome.

It is different in China. Signing a shipbuilding contract is simply a one-page paper. The basic data is listed on it, and how to build it is a matter for the shipyard. Even the acceptance is the shipyard itself, unless it is a warship. There will be military representatives in charge.

   "It's getting late, Captain Zhang and Political Commissar Pang, since you invited them, take them to eat." The leader said with a smile.

   This is also to save office expenses.

   "Let's do it." Qin Tao replied.

   "Let's invite, just go to the small cafeteria of our headquarters and cook a few dishes." Zhang Zhen said: "It's also for the last time, thank you."

  The small canteen is on the other side of the headquarters, so to get to the small canteen, you have to walk a long section of the wharf road.

  Qin Tao didn't care. He was very excited while walking and looking at the warships on the pier, feasting his eyes.

  Old destroyers, frigates...Suddenly, a warship came into his sight: "Our No. 531 is back? This is a meritorious ship!"

  The 531 warship is a Type 053K frigate with a displacement of less than 2,000 tons and a cheap cost. It is the backbone of the navy.

   "Yes, I came back after the naval battle last year. I have completed all the test items so far. It is the main force of our air defense." Zhang Zhen said.

This warship, when it was designed, was used as an air defense frigate. It was planned to install Hongqi-61 air defense missiles. Unfortunately, this missile has always been difficult to produce, and various problems emerged one after another. The 531 warship participated in the battle last year. At that time, it was not equipped with this missile, and it was not until the end of the naval battle that it came back to continue testing.

  The front end of the bow is a double-mounted 100mm naval gun. On the second deck behind the naval gun, there is a double-mounted cantilever missile launcher. It's just that it was empty above, and no missiles were seen.
