"Do you know the SWATH ship model?" Pang Jianmin asked the two of them.
What? Qin Baoshan was confused. He was talking about foreign language. He really didn’t know.
Qin Tao was standing aside and was already mumbling: "win hull, a small water surface wave-piercing catamaran."
Qin Baoshan breathed a sigh of relief, little bastard, he is really awesome. It is good to be educated!
Catamaran, what does that mean? Does it have two hulls?
"A typical high-speed catamaran consists of two slender monohulls, connected by a deck bridge at the upper part. A power unit is set up inside the monohull to drive the propeller at the back. The upper part of the deck bridge houses the superstructure, which houses cabins, living facilities, etc.
. Its biggest advantage is that it divides a single hull into two pieces, which greatly reduces the wave-making resistance and can reach a higher speed. At the same time, because the width of the hull is greatly increased, its stability is obviously better than that of a monohull ship, and
Ability to withstand larger winds and waves…”
Qin Tao started talking like he was memorizing a textbook.
"That's right, it's a catamaran." Pang Jianmin said: "Now, the country is planning to develop this kind of SWATH vessel. It is first planned to be designed as a passenger ship, which will probably carry more than a hundred passengers. If you have the technology in this area..."
"Of course." Qin Tao nodded: "We can design a wave-piercing catamaran passenger liner, and the design speed is expected to reach forty knots. However, we need customers to provide us with the cost in advance. We don't want to invest a lot of money.
After the design came out, the bidding failed and a lot of money was wasted."
When they heard Qin Tao say that the design speed had reached forty knots, Pang Jianmin and Zhang Zhen were overjoyed: "Of course there is no problem, relevant units will come to you for negotiation, but this forty knots speed is a mandatory
The indicator must not be reduced. If the speed cannot be reached, then according to the contract, you may have to pay a sum of money."
"Of course, since we said it, we will definitely do it."
Qin Tao has nothing to worry about. This kind of catamaran passenger ship is his college graduation thesis in his previous life. Everything is deeply imprinted in his mind. What is there to be afraid of? Besides, if you want to let
It's not difficult if the ship can run fast. If the speed is not enough, you can make do with it. The experience gained on the customs anti-smuggling speedboat can also be used.
"Okay, then we have an agreement."
Several hands were held together one after another. At this time, Qin Baoshan did not have too many worries in his heart. Although he did not know what a catamaran was, he had confidence in his son.
In the dark night, four torpedoes were hoisted out of the torpedo tubes in front of the submarine.
The torpedoes inside the submarine are often five to six meters long, and are seven or eight meters long. Therefore, when the submarine is loading and unloading the torpedo, it is impossible to insert it from other hatch covers. Once inside, it cannot be moved to the torpedo room.
Access is via torpedo tubes.
Seeing the four torpedoes being hoisted out one after another, Qin Tao also breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he was taking a leisurely stroll along the way, he was actually taking risks, because the fuel used in Lao Maozi's torpedoes was
It was hydrogen peroxide. The Kursk, which Lao Maozi served for six years in later generations, was sunk by this stuff.
These have been abandoned by Lao Maozi and have not been carefully maintained. If the hydrogen peroxide leaks during the voyage at sea, it reacts with the rust to generate oxygen, and then with a bang, the submarine will sink.
Therefore, along the way, Qin Tao did not dare to let the submarine dive into the water. Although it would be more concealed, the danger would also be greatly increased. He and Nie Shiyu stayed on the control tower all the time. In case of danger, it would be fine.
Escape immediately.
Now, the wake homing torpedo has finally been taken away by relevant naval departments, and Qin Tao has also let go of his heavy heart.
After seeing off the navy personnel, Qin Baoshan had the opportunity to ask his son: "Are you really sure about this kind of catamaran?"
"Yeah." Qin Tao said: "This kind of catamaran has a very good market prospect and will become the main product of our shipyard in the future."
Originally, Qin Tao wanted to rely on dredgers to make Mingzhou Shipyard stronger, but his father showed his style and contributed the dredgers! Therefore, he could only think of other ways.
Now, since the Navy has given another order for catamarans, of course they must rely on this product to build a reputation and obtain huge funds.
"Will the navy use it?" Qin Baoshan realized something.
"The Navy will definitely use it. After all, our theory of fast air-to-submarine speed still has a market. However, it cannot be completely left to the Navy. As long as we build the first catamaran passenger liner, we can take over it in the future.
There are more orders for luxury catamaran cruise ships.”
Qin Tao certainly knew that the Navy would order a large number of 022 catamaran missile speedboats, but it was not clear when exactly they would be ordered. After all, the Navy has been short of money in recent years!
Air-to-submarine speed was an idea for the development of the navy when the motherland was first founded. Air power, submarines, and speedboats constituted the main force of the navy. Now, the navy still has to rely on a large number of speedboats. After all, it has not yet planned to build an ocean-going navy.
, just offshore defense.
Qin Tao will not place all his hopes on the navy. The market for catamarans is still good, especially those rich people who will be interested in catamarans. There are so many people in the country who have become rich first.
How can Haitian Shengyan and so on not have a luxury yacht? After it becomes famous, wealthy people from overseas may also come here because of its reputation.
Compared with monohulls, the biggest feature of a catamaran is its large space! Below it are two slender hulls, which are immersed in the water, so the resistance is small. The upper parts are combined to form a large platform, if necessary.
, it’s perfectly fine to play Hundreds of Killers.
Originally, Qin Tao was thinking about the next development of the shipyard, which must have its own competitive products. Since the navy has demand, what else can Qin Tao say? He might as well use this shareholder's style to develop
Catamaran ready!
"Taozi, should we contact the ship design institute?" Qin Baoshan asked Qin Tao.
"Why?"
"Ask them to design it for us." Qin Baoshan said: "Fortunately, the Navy will give us a sum of funds in advance, otherwise we would have to pay a small sum of money first."
"Old man, do you really not believe in your son?" Qin Tao touched his nose.
"When did I stop believing you?"
"Then why are you hiring a ship design institute? Your son can handle such a small project."
"What did you say?" Qin Baoshan opened his eyes wide: "You kid, can you do it alone?"
"Look, you still don't believe me, do you?"
"You brat, you can't just talk about this, can you really do it?" Due to work, Qin Baoshan once went to the Ship Design Institute. He saw the huge drawing room where hundreds of people were drawing drawings at the same time.
