Chapter 1,281 The French come to buy linear motors? Sell!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in an instant, many experts began to analyze it.
For the integrated power system of warships, is it better to use DC or AC?
Needless to say, it must be DC. There is more than one generator on a warship. If AC is used, just synchronization is a big problem! Using DC solves the problem perfectly, not to mention other benefits.
DC has no inductive reactance, and the loss of electrical energy is smaller. DC is easy to store. Due to the advancement of supercapacitor technology, capacitors can also be used to store electrical energy in the future! However, if you want to use the medium-voltage DC technology route, you need to have various medium-voltage DC technology.
DC voltage equipment, and currently, only Dongfang produces these equipment!
This is also the reason why Dongfang can successfully develop this technology!
"Currently, we can see that the integrated power systems on warships produced in the West are immature and often have problems, especially the Type 45 destroyer, which frequently loses power and has become a nightmare for sailors, while Eastern warships
It has always been mature and reliable, which fully reflects the advancement of Eastern technology!"
A Western military analyst said: "In this field, we have fallen behind, and we need to hurry up and catch up!"
Although they are reluctant, they have to admit that Dongfang is indeed powerful in this aspect. After all, they will also take this route in the future!
Then, the Americans also stood up.
"In order to catch up with the East, we must switch the technology route as soon as possible. We have to cross directly from medium-voltage power frequency AC to medium-voltage DC. We need a large amount of funds for research and development!"
Originally, there was a medium voltage and medium frequency AC as a transition between the two, but now, seeing that they are completely behind Dongfang, they have to catch up, and they can only switch to the medium voltage DC route as soon as possible!
Subsequently, the British also officially announced that they would quickly transition to medium-voltage DC lines.
Ah San was dumbfounded.
"Our electromagnetic catapult, the electromagnetic catapult that we invested heavily in developing, actually has the wrong route?" Ah San, a senior naval officer, looked at the latest news, his face was extremely ugly: "Damn it, the old man must have fooled us, they are too
Damn it!"
"Yes, we invested a lot of money in research and development, but we didn't expect that this would be the result... However, it will take a long time to develop our new aircraft carrier anyway, so there is no need to worry too much yet." said his subordinate.
The 40,000-ton aircraft carrier was completely destroyed and the dock was destroyed. Their navy was at least ten years away from its aircraft carrier dream, so they were not in a hurry.
Since the East has announced the correct technical route, we might as well just follow the East's technical route. The West is planning to do the same anyway.
"Yeah, there's no need to be too anxious." The officer murmured, "This is actually good news for us, hahaha."
His laughter was full of sadness. Over the years, their navy has been almost standing still, and now, needless to say, compared with the East, they can't even compare with several nearby countries!
Oil areas, African areas...the maritime power of these places has surpassed them. Do they still want to be the boss in the Indian Ocean in the future?
He smiled and burst into tears.
France.
"Damn it, the technology we got is actually fake?" The French guy was also dumbfounded.
Originally, they thought that by helping Ah San build the aircraft carrier catapult, they would have relevant technology themselves. Although Ah San mainly paid for it, the French also invested a lot of money in the research and development of other parts.
The French are also busy preparing for their next aircraft carrier. After all, they only have one 40,000-ton aircraft carrier, and its strength is not only inferior to that of the United Kingdom, but also inferior to other developing countries!
If you want to build the latest aircraft carrier, you have to solve the problem of catapults. If you can't develop it independently, outsourcing will cost a lot of money.
If there had been no Asan project, the French would have had no choice but to admit it and spend more than a billion dollars purchasing from the United States. Now they are also rejoicing.
"Fortunately, we did not purchase from the United States. Even the technology in the United States is immature. They have to choose medium-voltage DC technology. We still have to wait."
"Should we purchase from the East? After all, the East's electromagnetic catapult technology is the most mature and has been used in large quantities. If we purchase their electromagnetic catapults, we can quickly obtain the most advanced electromagnetic catapults in the world.
!”
Chapelon's eyes were complicated: "Yes, if you purchase it from the East, you can indeed quickly obtain the most advanced electromagnetic catapult, but..."
But it’s shameless. Over the years, the French have been bragging that they are more powerful than the F-35. If they suddenly order electromagnetic catapults from the East, wouldn’t it mean that their technology is lagging behind?
?
"If we don't use the name of electromagnetic catapult, wouldn't it be enough if we send domestic companies, such as T-T Company, to the East, and then purchase professional linear motors from the East, and the requirements put forward meet the requirements of our aircraft carrier?"
Chapelon nodded: "Okay!"
The key point of the electromagnetic catapult is the linear motor. As long as you have this, everything else will be easy!
After receiving the task, T-T Electric Company immediately sent representatives to the East and went straight to Golden Sun Motor Company.
"Our T-T Company is the best manufacturer of industrial DC motors in the world..." Messager immediately started boasting after arriving.
There was no way, they were still proud in their hearts. When they came to the East, they would always feel unsatisfied if they didn't brag about it. However, before Messager could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sales manager opposite.
"Yes, you are indeed the best DC motor manufacturer in the world, so there is no need for you to cooperate with us. You produce yours and we produce ours. That's enough. You said yes
no?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Messager was speechless for a moment. They came here because they couldn't produce it themselves, so they asked Golden Sun Motor Company to do it for them!
"Currently, we have received orders from customers that require a special linear motor. We can also produce it, but the quantity is not large. Therefore, we do not plan to develop it specifically for customers. We want to order it from you."
"I'm sorry, with all due respect." Manager Wang said: "The quantity is not large, and we are even less interested. Moreover, it is really not many, and there is another secret that we don't know. So, please ask Gao Ming."
"Hey, what do you mean?" Messag was angry.
The other party made it very clear: France needs it in large quantities, but does not want to spend money on research, so it only wants to order a small amount and then go back to copy it. Golden Sun Motor Company will not be fooled!
"Means nothing."
"We are customers, and customers are God. Is this how your Golden Sun Motor Company treats customers?"
"Yes, God, please go slow."
Messag wanted to get angry, but he still endured it. He finally discovered that in front of Golden Sun Motor Company, he had no pride at all, because the other party was the real number one in the industry.
"I'm very sorry. I apologize for what I just said. We are sincerely here to seek cooperation."
"Okay, what products do you need? You can tell me the technical specifications."
"The length of this linear motor is about one hundred meters and requires more than 96 megajoules of energy..."
Manager Wang reacted instantly: Doesn’t this mean that he wants our electromagnetic catapult? This technology will not be sold to anyone who wants to buy it! You are still reluctant to spend more money, not saying it is an electromagnetic catapult, but only saying that you want to buy a linear
Motor?
What a joke!
However, he still maintained a smile: "Well, I'm not sure about this yet. I need to transfer your technical requirements to the engineers. I will definitely give you a reply within a day."
"Okay, then I'll wait." Messag left various requested information, then turned and left.
Half an hour later.
"Mr. Qin, the French sent their domestic T-T company to our Golden Sun Company to purchase our electromagnetic catapults in the name of purchasing industrial linear motors."
Xu Zhengyang said and handed over the detailed information.
"Okay, this is the sign that our eastern technology is number one in the world." Qin Tao said: "Since they want to buy it, let's sell them one set of linear motors for US$500 million and two sets of linear motors for one billion US dollars!"
"Mr. Qin, you can't sell many things if you want to, and you can't even pay for them. Our electromagnetic catapult can't be sold for any amount of money."
There were so many customers who wanted to buy it, but we didn't sell it. We asked them to take off with a ski jump. Now you've actually figured it out and want to sell it?
Five hundred million U.S. dollars is a lot, are you planning to use this method to scare off the French?
What if there are Americans behind this, and they really bite the bullet and buy it in order to break through these technologies as soon as possible?
"Yes, I didn't say selling electromagnetic catapults. Aren't they here to buy linear motors? Then we will sell linear motors."
Xu Zhengyang was a little confused. He didn't understand what Qin Tao meant by saying this. Isn't a linear motor an electromagnetic catapult? Is there any difference between them?
"Of course we can sell linear motors for civilian use. It doesn't matter if they are overweight. After all, they need to dissipate heat. It doesn't matter if they have some electromagnetic interference. After all, they are motors, so there must be electromagnetic interference."
"Okay." Xu Zhengyang responded.
In fact, there is nothing special about the linear motor in the electromagnetic catapult, as long as the processing accuracy is high enough and the magnetic field is strong enough.
However, if you want to use it on an aircraft carrier, you must have strong heat dissipation capabilities and electromagnetic shielding capabilities.
Needless to say about heat dissipation, the heat generated by this kind of device, which can easily produce several megajoules of energy, is extremely terrifying. There must be a special way to dissipate the heat, otherwise the system will burn.
The ability of electromagnetic shielding is more important. After all, when the motor is working, it will generate a strong electromagnetic field. To describe it specifically, it is equivalent to a small electromagnetic pulse bomb!
The Yankee's Ford-class electromagnetic catapult is an example. After adding a cooling system, the volume reached 1061.4 cubic meters, which is about the same size as a steam catapult, and the weight is as high as 630 tons, which is heavier than a steam catapult!
Without advanced heat dissipation and electromagnetic shielding functions, this kind of linear motor would not be usable even if it were built!
These problems must be solved for military use, but not necessarily for civilian use. Anyway, we have not seen these requirements.
Heat dissipation and anti-interference measures are added when the motor is produced. If not, there will be no way to add them later. In other words, even if the French get these linear motors, they will not be able to install them on the aircraft carrier.
One billion dollars would be completely wasted.
"Okay, I'll notify them there." Xu Zhengyang said, "We must meet the customer's requirements. The customer is God."
"Well, they can also play."
Golden Sun Company, reception room.
"Mr. Messager, our engineers have studied your needs in detail and feel that what you want should be possible."
"Really? That's really great!" Messager was very excited. What he was most afraid of was that the other party would say that the technology was not up to par and they couldn't make it, so they wouldn't build it for them. Unexpectedly, Golden Sun Motor
The company is so awesome that they dare to sell such a killer weapon!
"However, the price will be very expensive."
"It doesn't matter, we can accept it if it's more expensive."
"$500 million per package."
"What, what did you say?" Messager was dumbfounded for a moment. Five hundred million dollars, how dare you say it! Isn't this robbing people?
"At the same time, R&D requires another 300 million, so the total price is 1.3 billion US dollars."
"You are robbing money! You have no sincerity in doing business!" Messager shouted loudly.
The Yankees' electromagnetic catapults cost only 1.3 billion for two sets, but they are fully equipped, including energy storage devices and even installation services.
What about here in the East?
It’s just an order for linear motors! According to their expectations, 100 million US dollars is a sky-high price! Unexpectedly, the Easterners paid more than ten times. What about their conscience? Won’t it hurt?
"Because your request is special, we still need special experiments. There are only two sets, but we need to open new molds, so the cost is very high. If you order ten sets, the price of each set can be reduced to 300 million, plus 300 million yuan."
billion in R&D funding, totaling US$3.3 billion.”
Ten sets? That means five aircraft carriers!
No, even if four catapults are placed on an aircraft carrier, it will still require two and a half aircraft carriers. Can France build so many aircraft carriers? It would be great if they have an 80,000-ton aircraft carrier!
The results of Messager's negotiations in the East were quickly reported to the country. When they heard about it, the French were angry.
"No, it's too expensive, we absolutely can't buy it!"
"Yes, this is simply a money grab!"
"Everyone, I have an idea." At this moment, a voice broke the silence.
"what idea?"
"We only need two catapults. We can sell the remaining eight catapults to the Americans. If they charge US$400 million for each catapult, then we only need US$100 million to launch the catapults."
Get the weapon out!"
"A set of four hundred million dollars? Unless the Americans are crazy, how can they come here to purchase it?"
"Yes, they are crazy, they are driven crazy."
Everyone else was stunned, yes, why didn't you think of this? The US aircraft carrier was too far behind, and it was finally discovered that it was a problem with the technical route, and they are currently working hard to catch up. Therefore, they are eager to obtain relevant technologies, and our own side
, just right for transit...
3.2 billion US dollars is a lot, but for the Americans to develop a brand new catapult, no matter how much money they spend, it is acceptable.
"Okay, contact the Americans immediately."
The whole world is attracted by this technical route and ignores someone's feelings.
"How can this be? Shouldn't we be the focus here?" The colonel looked at the dark night sky outside the window and said with some annoyance.
After doing such an earth-shattering thing last time, the colonel felt mixed. He was a little scared, but also a little proud. Look at the whole of Africa, no, the whole earth, who can do such a big thing? Not even the Red Empire could do it.
!And now, he did it!
He should be a hero to the whole world!
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.
"Hello."
"The stealth bombers will arrive in fifteen minutes."
"who are you?"
"Those who are secretly protecting you, hurry up and leave immediately. Also, it's best to move the advanced aircraft in your hands to a safe place."
The phone has hung up!
After a moment of thought, the colonel spoke: "Send me to a tent in the suburbs immediately! Also, order Fatih and his group to take off fighter planes and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"yes."
In the past, the solid underground fortifications might have been safe, but the terrifying ground-penetrating bombs made any fortifications unreliable. Therefore, the colonel felt that it was safest to pitch a tent in the wild.
He set up a tent casually, and no one knew where he was. Only his closest female escorts knew where he was, and he believed that these women would not betray him.
Soon, the colonel left.
In the base, Fatih shouted loudly to his men: "Quick, quick, quick, fly our fighter planes immediately so that we can meet the enemy!"
They are still looking forward to the second attack, but now, it is no longer them, but an enemy is coming!
What does that mean? Even if enemies come over, we must beat them up! Stealth machines have this advantage!
On the runway, lights flashed, and fighter planes began to take off one after another to attack the enemy!
But where is the enemy?
When they flew into the sky, they realized that they were facing an important problem: if they didn't know where the enemy was, it would be a waste!
"Attention, fly to the capital!" At this moment, Fatih's voice came from the radio.
It was obvious that if the enemy came, they would definitely attack the capital, just like that time in the 1980s, when they attacked the barracks near the capital because the colonel had pitched his tent there for the night, but the colonel easily escaped.
What about this time?
He must have escaped even more, otherwise how could he have given them orders.
Mahmoud turned on the airborne radar, but before the electromagnetic waves were emitted, Fatih's voice came from the earphones again: "Be careful, don't turn on the radar. Our airborne radar cannot detect the stealth aircraft, we have to use our eyes!"
Obviously, Fatih is also an experienced veteran, and every order he gives is correct.
In the dark, rely on your eyes?
For ordinary Mirage 5 fighter pilots, they can only rely on their eyes, but for the advanced J-31A fighter, they can also rely on the airborne infrared imaging device!
