Warship of Great Power

  Chapter 91 Encounter with Elder Pan

   "Qin Gong, come, I'll take you to the cafeteria." Yang Dawei led Qin Tao.

   "Are there any hairy crabs in the cafeteria today? Give me two." Qin Tao was not polite.

   "Well, there should be, hairy crabs are enough." Yang Dawei said.

   "Do you have crayfish too? Give me a plate."

   "Well, no problem."

   There was a big oolong, and Yang Dawei was very embarrassed, but he was also in a good mood when he thought of the matter being resolved.

   When he reached the entrance of the cafeteria, he happened to meet an old man. He lowered his head, obviously thinking about something.

  He was wearing a black tunic suit with thinning hair. When he was almost at the door, he finally raised his head and glanced at Qin Tao and the others.

  Looking at each other, Qin Tao was suddenly excited: "Mr. Pan? Why are you always here?"

  Qin Tao did not expect to see this respected ship designer here.

  Old Pan, born in that war-torn era, saw the enemy's warships showing off their might on the seas of the motherland. From that period, he set his ambition to design his own country's warships!

  Old Pan has formed an indissoluble bond with warships all his life.

  In 1962, the first domestic Type 65 artillery frigate began to be developed. At that time, domestic ships still used direct current, and Mr. Pan, who was in charge of electrical design, first proposed to change the direct current to alternating current.

   This system was a complete success. After that, all ships and civilian ships adopted the AC system.

In 1965, Mr. Pan became the chief designer of the first-generation Type 051 guided missile destroyer. This job was extremely challenging. To install missiles, naval guns and anti-submarine weapons, etc., Mr. Pan faced the difficulties, not only presided over the After completing the design work, he also tested repeatedly on the first warship. From 1971 to 1975, he almost always conducted experiments on the warship to solve all the problems.

   Now, Mr. Pan has assumed the responsibility of the chief designer of the 052 destroyer. The first 112 ship has already started construction last year.

   This old man has become the chief designer of two warships in his life, which is very admirable.

   At this time, when he heard Qin Tao shouting, Elder Pan was also taken aback. He pushed his glasses: "Young man, who are you?"

  Pan is always a workaholic, but that doesn't mean he ignores other things. He knows everyone in the ship design institute, but he still hasn't met the person in front of him.

  Suit and leather shoes, holding a mobile phone, dressed as a businessman, but so young.

  Where did it come from?

  Old Pan was very curious.

   "Mr. Pan, I'm Qin Tao from Mingzhou Shipyard." Qin Tao reported his family name: "You can call me Taozi."

  Yang Dawei was a little dazed, how could Qin Tao know Mr. Pan? They shouldn't have seen it before, right?

   "Mingzhou Shipyard? The problem of the helicopter landing aid system of the 105th ship was successfully solved, is it your credit?" Pan Lao also reacted.

   "Yes, Mr. Pan, how do you know?"

Of course, Mr. Pan knew that the system was just a test on the 105 ship. After the test was completed, the whole set would be moved to the 052 destroyer. If there was a problem with the system, Mr. Pan was also very concerned. After asking the question, Elder Pan sighed.

   "Young man, you are very powerful. It is easy to replace two threads, but knowing how to do it is the most difficult." Elder Pan said, "Especially, it is not easy for you to find the cause of the failure in a short time."

  Qin Tao scratched his head modestly: "Well, I was blind at the time."

   "This is not blind. By the way, you are here to eat, come on, let's go in together." Elder Pan greeted warmly.

  Yang Dawei was dumbfounded. Qin Tao knew Mr. Pan, and Mr. Pan also knew Qin Tao. Isn't this a coincidence?

"Yang Gong, just order whatever you want, don't be too extravagant." Just now, Qin Tao was still asking for this and that, planning to slaughter him, but in front of Mr. Pan, Qin Tao immediately became harmless to humans and animals. the same as the little sheep.

"That's not okay. You solved a big problem for us. Since we met today, we have to have a good meal. It's a thank you. Xiao Yang, serve the best dishes in our cafeteria. Also, here's I'll bring a bottle of wine." Elder Pan said.

   "Old Pan, do you want to drink?"

   "Yeah, thank you, how can I not drink? Not much, just a glass, go!"

   "Old Pan, you are too polite."

   "Come, sit here."

   There were other people in the cafeteria. Everyone was surprised to see that Mr. Pan, who had always been simple, made an extravagant exception today. Looking at the young man in a suit and leather shoes, they were all very curious. What's going on?

   "Young man, you have profound attainments in electrical circuits." Elder Pan said.

   "Well, I've done some research, but it's luck to be able to fix those things." Qin Tao said: "Speaking of our warship, there are too many electronic devices on it. I don't have that much ability to understand everything."

  Qin Tao is very modest.

   "Yes, there are too many electronic devices on our warship." Elder Pan said, "With the continuous advancement of technology, there will be more and more electronic devices."

   "There are too many electronic devices, compatibility is a big problem." Qin Tao said: "Especially when using radar and satellite communication, if this interference cannot be resolved, there may be a big problem."

   "Yes, it is said that the tragedy of Shelfield in the Falklands Sea Battle was caused by this." At this time, Yang Dawei had already brought food and wine over, and he also expressed emotion when he heard Qin Tao say this.

  The Falklands naval battle in 1982 was the most eye-catching war in the 1980s, and it can be said to be a typical representative of modern naval warfare.

The super-flag fighter plane flew at ultra-low altitude and pounced on the most advanced British Type 42 destroyer HMS Shelfield, and then fired Exocet missiles, which plunged into Shelfield's stomach. The most proud warship of the British Navy sank into the cold Among the Atlantic Ocean.

   It is also for this reason that the Chinese Navy did not choose the sea javelin system in the end. In addition to being expensive, it has not yet exerted its power in naval battles.

  As for the real reason, there are different opinions. One of them is that the Shelfield was turning on the satellite communication system to communicate with the fleet. Due to the problem of electromagnetic interference, they needed to turn off the search radar on the warship, so the super flag and flying fish missiles were not found at all.

  No one knows what the specific reason is. The pain of the British Navy is probably nothing more than crying to the Americans. How dare they announce the real reason to the world? Isn’t this exposing their own scars and smashing their own weapon signs?

   No one knows why, but radar and satellite communication systems interfere with each other. This problem has indeed plagued many warship designers.
