Chapter 340 Why don’t we conduct experiments if the weather is bad?
In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shone on the East Pole Post. On the guard tower, two soldiers hung automatic rifles on their chests, looking warily towards the east.
In a dock at the Dalian Shipyard more than a thousand kilometers away, the construction work of five warships was in full swing. Dozens of buses drove in a column to the large open space next to the dock and stopped one after another. Soon
The large open space was filled up. The shift workers on the bus got off the bus in an orderly manner, lined up in groups, and headed to the preparation area in order.
The whole process took less than thirty minutes, and the shifts were changed three times a day, each time with great speed and strict discipline.
When the time reached 7 o'clock, the shift workers continued to change shifts with the current team in an orderly manner in the form of fixed teams. The construction progress did not stop and the seamless connection was achieved.
Subsequently, the replaced night shift workers were picked up by dozens or hundreds of buses. They could have a good rest all day and come back to change shifts at this time the next morning.
This is daily life at Dalyan Shipyard.
The five warships are being built at an incredible speed. They are built at the same time, lined up for launch, and served separately. The pictures taken by foreign satellites every time they pass by will make their intelligence agencies think deeply.
Perhaps just overnight, the total tonnage of the Chinese navy will increase by tens of thousands of tons.
The five warships being built at the same time were not small boats of several hundred tons, but serious destroyers of six to seven thousand tons and tens of thousands of tons.
Of course, in the naval equipment sequence of many countries, kiloton-class warships are already assistants. In China, kiloton-class Type 056 frigates can be launched twenty or thirty times a year. Even so, the navy still dislikes the speed of construction.
Not fast enough.
The Ji'annan Shipyard is located at the same longitude as the Dalyan Shipyard. The work rhythm here is the same as that of the Dalyan Shipyard, sometimes faster. In the extremely huge dry dock, a measured displacement is about 90,000 tons.
There are thousands of workers and engineers working on the aircraft carrier at the same time.
Today's Ji'annan Shipyard is busier and more serious than other times. Because the large-scale aircraft carrier ship project will usher in one of the most important construction nodes today - the installation of the first electromagnetic catapult.
Although several commercial ships of hundreds of thousands of tons are also being built in other docks of this shipyard at the same time, none of them can compare with the importance of the large aircraft-carrying ship project.
From the commander in chief of the army project and the group CEO, to the workers involved in the project, everyone is on standby, and even many workers who are on rotation have gone to the designated area of the operation area to wait. Three shifts, thousands of workers and engineers, at least today
Two-thirds of the personnel are in the operation area, and part is a reserve team. The remaining one-third is on standby in the living area, ready to support at any time.
This is no different from fighting a battle.
The ejection system is the most important component, bar none. In the indispensable list, this system is ranked first.
Fang Juemin and his team all arrived here two days ago and are already nervously carrying out pre-installation preparations on the aircraft carrier.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the commander-in-chief issued the installation order.
Each team was organized and coordinated perfectly to install the first set of electromagnetic ejection system. A large amount of preliminary work has already been completed, and what needs to be installed today are several representative control components.
Eight hours later, before nightfall, Fang Juemin's team completed the last inspection and reported the successful installation to the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief formally announced the news to all participants in the large aircraft-carrying ship project, and the entire shipyard was low-key excited.
This means that there is no problem with the installation process, indicating that the progress of the large-scale aircraft-carrying ship project will be greatly accelerated.
Fang Juemin was particularly emotional and moved.
In the previous fifteen days, the experimental training team made unimaginable efforts and conducted a total of 8,500 flight hours of ejection takeoffs, with an average of 1 flight hour per person per day. A total of 3,885 ejection sorties were conducted, with an average daily ejection takeoff per person.
The number of sorties reached an astonishing 37 times.
Among them, on the most day, the experimental training team conducted 380 ejections, far exceeding the target requirements.
According to the actual combat data of the US aircraft carrier, which has the most experience in using aircraft carriers in the world, over the years, of course, this data is not made public, but is real.
The average daily number of takeoffs and landings exceeds 120, which is basically the peak of a large aircraft carrier's carrier-based fighter sorties. In emergencies, it can also reach 160 sorties. However, the combat efficiency and durability of an aircraft carrier's carrier-based fighter force do not only depend on ejection.
The system is also closely related to ammunition, fuel reserves and maintenance hours.
Therefore, after the electromagnetic ejection system withstood 380 consecutive ejections, after routine inspection and maintenance, it was still able to continue to carry out no less than 260 subsequent average ejections per day without failure, which is fully reflected.
the reliability of this system.
To be on the safe side, the frequency of more than 260 ejections per day was maintained until the fifteenth day. It was not until the last minute inspection that the electromagnetic ejection system was still in good condition. Only then did Fang Juemin sign the report, confirming that the electromagnetic ejection system had reached the required level.
Ship boarding standards.
The next day, Fang Juemin's team immediately transferred to the manufacturer of the electromagnetic ejection system to make improvements and adjustments based on the latest data. It only took three days to complete the improvement and adjustment of the first electromagnetic ejection system.
Shipped to Ji'annan Shipyard.
??????????.??????
So there was the previous scene.
When the news reached the test base, the test training team was relieved and excited. Also on the same day, the first snow of winter fell. At the same time, all members of the high-powered team of the newly modified J-15B engine braved the heavy snow to complete the test.
The crew arrived at the test base and conducted routine maintenance on the newly modified engines of the four J-15Bs.
Gao Qiang said, "If you fly like this, no matter how hard you build the engine, it won't be able to withstand it. You don't know that there is essentially no big difference between an aero engine and a car engine. What do you mean? It's just like the most strenuous part of a car engine."
This stage is the initial stage, and the burden becomes less as the speed increases.”
"Similarly, a car that runs in urban areas all year round will definitely not have as good an engine as a car that often runs at high speeds. Just like an aero engine, the load is the greatest when taking off, even without afterburner. Of course, your intensity is not suitable for
It’s good to test the durability of our new engine.”
After listening to Gao Qiang's words, Li Hai smiled and said, "Gao Qiang, when the weather gets better, we will simply test the 10,000-hour lifespan for you."
Gao Qiang smiled and said, "If the weather is bad, we can't test? We can also test on the ground, no need to go to the sky."
An unintentional remark silenced the experimental training team, including Li Hai. Gao Qiang was indeed unintentional. His original intention was that the life limit of the newly modified engine could be determined on the ground, which is what everyone did. He said that the weather was not good.
Well, it was based on their own situation. I didn't expect that this would touch the hearts of the pilots.
"If the weather is bad, why don't we fight?"
"You are soldiers and want to live your life back home!"
"They just choose to beat you when you are sleeping!"
Master's words kept echoing in Li Hai's ears.
Gao Qiang’s eyes are all about his newly modified engine. This is the first project that he is fully responsible for, and it is also the first such aero-engine project in China.
He didn't work on vectors or multi-channel nozzles, and just focused on super maneuverability. At first, except for him, the rest of the team had no confidence. He was the one pushing the project forward. At the crossroads
, he insists on one direction alone, and the leader and other people in his team all believe that we should work steadily and lay a solid foundation first before planning anything else.
The results proved that Gao Qiang was correct and his idea was correct. On the basis of super maneuverability, it also extended a certain degree of supersonic cruise capability.
This greatly increased Gao Qiang's confidence.
Previously, after receiving Li Hai's affirmation, he immediately went back to work hard and made targeted improvements based on the newly modified engine to anchor the two capabilities of super maneuverability and supersonic cruise.
At this time, he didn't even notice that the faces of Li Hai and others became ugly. Even Zhu Wei and Luo Xun's mouth corners were twitching slightly, and they felt miserable.
Li Hai looked outside the maintenance hangar. The heavy snow was floating and falling tirelessly. The outfield seemed to be covered with a layer of white cloth.
He recalled his master's time at the Beikuchang Station. Whenever the snow season came, the master would try every means to solve the problems on the ground, and withstood great pressure to conduct high-intensity combat training under low weather conditions.
Ten years ago, Master and the others were still flying second-generation aircraft, which were early models of the J-7! They actually flew through canyons under low weather conditions in the snow season. No accidents occurred, and the combat effectiveness of all personnel was squeezed.
Got it done.
The snow in front of us is still not up to the low weather conditions that year. As Gao Qiang said, if the weather is bad, it can't be done?
Several pilots from the experimental training team left the maintenance hangar silently, got on the commuter bus and headed to the infield. No one spoke during the whole process, some looked out the window, and some stared blankly ahead.
, without exception, these emotions are all because of Gao Qiang’s words.
We have been calling for all-weather operations for so many years, but has it really been achieved?
Everyone here has done take-off operations under extremely bad weather conditions, but such situations are very rare. Have you truly achieved the goal of being able to take off for operations at any time regardless of the weather?
When the high-strength team stationed in the maintenance hangar, it was already fifteen days after the ultra-high-intensity ejection took off. On this day, the first snow in winter also fell.
The newly modified engines of the four J-15Bs have all reached the time limit for routine maintenance. After the test training team worked hard to complete it ()
