The speed of the No. 53 ship stopped increasing. At this time, the power system maintained the overload operation state and maintained the speed at 8 knots.
Converted to a speed of 74 kilometers per hour, which is an extremely high speed for a ship of more than 4,000 tons. You must know that the wave-piercing so-called high-speed transport ships that Australia and the United States are proud of have a maximum speed of only 40
Festival.
The No. 53 ship must try its best to intercept the aircraft carrier strike group before it reaches the sea area 30 kilometers north of the Maldives and arrive at the designated sea area within the specified time to intercept it.
The small aspect ratio of the No. 53 ship allows the ship to sail at higher speeds, but its wave resistance is relatively weak. And because of its low freeboard, waves have a greater impact on equipment above the deck.
When the waves are large, when viewed from the side, the ship often appears to be traveling through the waves instead of riding on them. It disappears into a wave, passes through a wave, and so on.
The sailors at the deck station tied their waists with backpack ropes, and tied the other end firmly to the railing or other places to ensure that they would not be thrown into the sea by violent jolts.
Ship No. 53 is a rather special ship. Among the soldiers serving on the ship, there are no private soldiers, that is, first-year soldiers. The shortest enlistment age is two years and three months. In other words, all the conscripts on the ship are
extended active duty.
This is a strong signal - the officers and soldiers on the ship will be assigned to the new ship as the backbone to train the new recruits in a one-to-two manner.
This is also the main reason why Li Hai and others firmly believe that the No. 53 ship has accelerated the pace of decommissioning. Unexpectedly, the No. 53 ship has undergone a large-scale modification and installed many new gadgets, causing the decommissioning time to change again.
It has to be confusing.
After four hours and thirty-five minutes of high-speed sailing, the No. 53 ship entered the Palk Strait. Ten nautical miles ahead was the narrow and shallow Palk Strait. There were almost no ships over a thousand tons on the channel.
There was still half the journey left, but the time left for Li Hai was only seven hours and twenty-five minutes, and the most difficult part of the journey through the Palk Strait had not yet passed.
Theoretically, the No. 53 ship can pass through the nearly 100 kilometers of Palk Strait in one hour and twenty-five minutes, provided that the average speed reaches more than 39 knots.
No matter how you look at it, it is an almost impossible task.
After the combat staff calculated the relevant data, Li Hai calmly contacted Wang Fugui directly, "Squad leader Lao Wang, after thirty minutes, can the speed be increased to 41? Is there a way to reach the redundancy limit?
"
If anyone else heard this, they would think that the captain was crazy.
The maximum design speed is 36 knots, and it has now reached a speed of 5 knots. It can be said to be a small miracle in military manufacturing. To increase it to 41 knots, not to mention the influence of sea conditions, etc., when people design ships and power systems, it is redundant.
The margin is not that big!
However, Wang Fugui thought quickly, and after a while, he replied to Li Hai, "I don't know if I can withstand it. I'll give it a try."
This Lao Guang speaks Cantonese Mandarin, which usually sounds awkward, but now it sounds so pleasant to my ears.
"Squad Leader Lao Wang, you can definitely do it, you absolutely can!" Li Hai said decisively.
Wang Fugui said in a deep voice, "Captain, I will do my best, it's over."
He ended the call and looked at his apprentice Gu Xiaohui, "Get the spare turbocharger ready."
"Yes!" Gu Xiaohui went immediately.
It is obvious that Wang Fugui intends to squeeze out any remaining potential of the gas turbine. The most susceptible to damage, and it can be said that it will definitely be damaged, is the turbocharger.
The representatives of the manufacturer said nothing. They had already felt the urgency of the situation. If they could sacrifice their lives, the troops would not hesitate, let alone destroying a gas turbine. They joined Wang Fugui's team invariably.
Follow Wang Fugui's command.
Zheng Gong, who had previously looked down on wild men like Wang Fugui, was the most active at this time.
After thinking about it for a while, he took the initiative to find Wang Fugui and said, "Squad leader Wang, this gas turbine was designed to be used beyond the limit. The power was increased by increasing the amount of oil and air intake, at the expense of the machine.
lifespan is drastically shortened.”
After a pause, he said, "In the current situation, mechanical life is obviously secondary, so I suggest increasing the amount of oil and air intake."
Wang Fugui said, "If the combustion rate cannot be increased, no matter how much oil is added, it will be useless. To squeeze out the potential power, all data must be improved."
"Yes." Zheng Gong agreed.
Wang Fugui said in a deep voice, "There is a channel in the gas turbine that can add a turbocharger. I want to give it a try."
Zheng Gong looked at Wang Fugui with wide eyes. To him, such words were simply a fantasy.
Even if there are channels, does it mean that you can add them by adding them? Have you done rigorous overall analysis and precise data calculations? There is nothing, not to mention whether they can be added, whether they can be used, and whether they can be used.
Meeting the requirements is all a problem.
Zheng Gong still considered the problem with his inherent thinking, and his "go all out" thinking was not thorough enough.
Wang Fugui didn't have time to go into details. After Gu Xiaohui got the turbocharger, he immediately started working with the soldiers in the engineering squad.
Simple and crude welding and screw fixing without any rigorous calculation and data analysis are just like putting an ugly patch on a gas turbine.
When the last step was reached, Wang Fugui called Li Hai on the internal intercom, "Captain, I need the No. 1 gas turbine to shut down for three minutes."
Li Hai did not ask why, nor did he hesitate. He decisively ordered, "Stop the No. 1 turbine for three minutes. Follow my order and restart!"
The engine room will be executed immediately.
