Why is there an outdated meter-wave radar on the most advanced destroyer in the East?
Until now, no one knows why. After all, the fact that meter-wave radar can detect stealth aircraft is still a secret. Under the bragging of Americans, stealth aircraft are very powerful and make others look up to them.
It exists, it can appear anywhere as a ghost in the sky. Of course, it would be better if the Easterners did not have a stealth machine.
Now, in the outside world's perception, the stealth aircraft is the most powerful and omnipotent existence, and no radar can detect it.
Eastern warships use backward meter-wave radars, most likely just to save money. Compared with 052c, the 052b, which has a long-range early warning phased array radar that rotates in a circle, looks more in line with European aesthetics.
Now, if this brand-new radar is given a new number, it will make people wonder. Why do the Orientals spare no effort to develop meter-wave radar? Once they start to doubt, they can find many clues. It is better to give them a
Illusion: Although it has been changed from a clothes drying rack to a fly swatter, it is still the old radar, just a simple upgrade.
Therefore, it would be more suitable to use the number 517c.
Qin Tao's simple suggestion also had a profound purpose. At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's words, Zhao Ling's eyes were full of admiration. This is his man, who has single-handedly promoted the rapid development of the domestic military industry.
man!
"Next, is it time to talk about our power system?" Wu Shengli said.
We have already finished talking about the electronic equipment. Needless to say about other small aspects, the displacement of this warship can be expanded entirely because the power system is more powerful. Therefore, we can continue to talk about the most important power system.
"No, we haven't reached the back yet. Should we continue to look at the bridge?"
"What's in the bridge?" Wu Shengli asked curiously.
"Our latest zk5b combat system." Qin Tao said: "Don't you leaders want to hear about the combat system?"
From the earliest open-air shed to the later closed bridge, not only the appearance has become more beautiful, but more importantly, it contains a professional combat command system. The initial zk3 was very crude, but by the later zk4, it was already quite good.
When developing the 052c, the zk5 combat command system was also developed. This system has more powerful performance and can effectively coordinate various weapons and equipment on the warship.
However, in the pursuit of modernization of warship command, relevant domestic institutions will not stop. The latest modification, namely zk5, is also constantly improving, and has now been upgraded to type B.
"Yes, the combat command system is also very important. Have our relevant domestic institutions developed more advanced models? Then report it to us." Wu Shengli said.
Experts from Institute 709 walked up.
"Dear leaders, our institute has been developing a combat command system. During the development process, we have also absorbed a large number of current advanced commercial product results." The expert said: "Now, let everyone take a look at our new generation of open display.
AA."
When the zk5 combat command system was developed, advanced display and consoles were developed in China. However, the previous display and consoles were all installed vertically. In front of the operator, the monitor was placed vertically. In order to allow the operator to
To see it more clearly, the third display console usually tilts downwards, just like the plaque on the door of an old-fashioned building. Then, the operators sit side by side in front, each staring at these monitors, although the monitors are very tall.
But it always looks like a rustic one.
Of course, there are also benefits. With this arrangement, the operator will definitely not get cervical spondylosis because he has to raise his head frequently.
Now, the display device of the new generation of combat command system has changed its layout and become a horizontal display. On a display console made of advanced composite materials, three monitors are placed horizontally, forming an arc, allowing operators to
People can see the screen better, just like the equipment of later generations of programmers.
Following the expert's introduction, the display console appeared on the screen. The brand new horizontal triple screen, coupled with specialized lighting rendering, looked very high-end.
"This kind of control console looks good, but it takes up a lot of space. Our bridge is very expensive, so can we accommodate so many control consoles?"
"Our modified combat command system has a higher degree of automation, so it requires smaller operators. Only four such open display consoles are enough in the bridge, plus four hoisted
A large-size display and an electronic sandbox can provide sufficient battlefield command and operation capabilities," said the expert.
Technology is constantly being upgraded, and fewer and fewer operators will be needed. Through the use of relevant software, command can be made easier.
"Needless to say that there is supervision, even if no one is controlling it, normal combat readiness can still be carried out, and missiles can even be launched to intercept when needed." Qin Tao said: "Currently, this system is already at the leading level in the world.
.”
Many military products require unattended operations, such as the Patriot missile system. Even if no one is watching, it can do whatever it needs to do. However, these are not very mature. Simply put, they do not have enough computing power.
Computer, everything is in vain.
"So powerful?" Navy leaders were surprised: "Could it be using the latest Loongson processor?"
"Yes, it is developed based on our Loongson-3. The computing speed of this processor has reached the gz level, and its performance is more advanced. These display consoles, including these, are all products on commercial shelves.
Our first effort at standardization."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Standardization?"
"Yes, in the future, the main equipment of the navy will use this kind of open display console. Aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates, and even our electromagnetic guns in the future will all use this kind of open display console."
"Can commercial architecture satisfy our military needs?"
"Of course, these are in compliance with military standards. Specifically, they can be used at zero to fifty degrees Celsius and ninety-five percent humidity. Their display screens currently have a resolution of
, all support splitting into four screens and inputting four video streams. Each set of display consoles has six 1g optical fiber interfaces. The data bus on our warships will also undergo a brand new upgrade."
Everyone was shocked.
These data indicators are quite high. In particular, the network transmission speed has actually risen to the g level! It was unimaginable before.
"What is the purpose of such a high Internet speed and video data stream? Do we need to watch these videos on the bridge in Shanghai?" Some leaders were puzzled.
What is displayed on the display console is various data, such as targets in the sky and underwater. This kind of data does not require video streaming.
"The video stream is used to receive the video from the drone." These can only be explained by Qin Tao. After all, although this improved combat command system was developed by 709, the ideas were provided by Qin Tao.
Of course, Qin Tao knows best how to use it.
"The future era will be an era where drones will show their magical power. Even destroyers will be equipped with drones. Of course, our display console must have the ability to display drone footage. If the network
If the bandwidth is not enough, the video cannot be displayed, or the picture will be very blurry. Do we need to upgrade it at that time?"
Everyone nodded. Now, Mingzhou Group is vigorously developing drones, and everyone can see that the future era may really be the era of drones.
"Moreover, we will also lead a trend. After our brand new display console is decrypted, other countries will definitely learn from us, including the United States." Qin Tao said: "We are the strongest in designing warships."
This advanced combat command system has been greatly improved in terms of ergonomics, capacity, accuracy, operating speed and modularity. It is the navy's most advanced combat command system. It has a higher degree of automation and looks more sophisticated.
Therefore, it will definitely become a trend.
After the American Aegis system was upgraded, it also used this kind of display console, but it was only after 2010. Now that we have brought it out, it is definitely ahead of the times. I don’t know how many people will follow.
study.
"Yes, Mingzhou Group's design capabilities are advanced. Our Navy is very satisfied with this brand-new display and console." The leader on the rostrum spoke.
Now that we’ve talked about the combat command system, it’s our turn next, right?
Of course not yet!
"Dear leaders, due to the advanced performance of our warships, the number of personnel will be further reduced, so that there will be enough space on the warship for the crew. There are currently two options. Please give us a decision."
"When our frigates went to sea, the decks had to be piled with food. I was an ordinary sailor at the time. My favorite thing was to sneak out to get potatoes and bake them in a deserted place. Now the space inside our warships is spacious enough.
This is great progress." A leader said with emotion: "President Qin, just tell us if you have any difficulties. Let us open our eyes."
This is really eye-opening.
"One way is to divide the cabin into small rooms, which can provide four or even two-person rooms for the soldiers. This will allow the soldiers to have enough private space." Qin Tao said.
"No, this is not good. If they live separately, soldiers in the same squad will not be able to communicate, and the squad leader will not be able to manage." This plan was directly rejected by the leader: "Our soldiers protect our families and the country, and
It’s not about enjoyment and there is no need to live separately. Officers have separate places for better rest and work. Ordinary sailors can live in ten or even twelve-person rooms, which is already good.”
The military barracks are also large rooms. Once the lights-out signal is blown, whoever dares to speak will be criticized. If he is disobedient, he will run a ten-kilometer cross-country in full gear!
"If this is the case, then our living area will be very large. We can separate part of the cabin and use it as our entertainment room, gym, laundry room and other special cabins. In the entertainment room, we have books and chess boards.
, there are also computers that can be connected to the Internet, so you can read books, play chess and surf the Internet, so you will not be bored in your free time. In the fitness room, you can install dumbbells, horizontal bars, treadmills and other fitness equipment, so that the soldiers have a place to vent their excess energy. There is also a laundry room, of course.
It is used for washing clothes for soldiers, and the washing machine is directly equipped with a drying function, so that soldiers do not need to get dirty at sea. We can even install several self-service machines to sell various snacks and drinks."
"Our warships are used for fighting, they are war machines. If we make the soldiers too comfortable, will it be counterproductive?" A leader expressed concern.
"No, judging from the Western century-old naval construction experience, this is very necessary." Qin Tao shook his head: "Warships are the homes of soldiers. After a long period of life at sea, soldiers will be under a lot of pressure. When encountering exercises or
It's a war, and their pressure will be even greater. Now, we provide them with a good rest space so that they can have some entertainment and relaxation. This is an effective way to relieve stress. This can improve the combat effectiveness of our navy. The times are developing.
,Society is progressing, and it’s time for us to change our thinking.”
"It's good for the soldiers to relax a bit. Life at sea is too boring. It would be really good if everyone could have something to do in their free time." Another leader expressed support: "But
, I also have to make some suggestions. I think we can set up several study rooms, where soldiers can study and improve their professional skills. Our army must become a professional army. Ordinary soldiers are recruited.
, you can also study, enter the military academy, and become a non-commissioned officer."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone can see that the era of naval violence is coming. Next, the navy's ships will be launched one after another and are under construction.
In terms of money, it's fine if you have money, but if you want to be proficient in operating warships, you have to train a large number of professional talents.
There is no problem with the non-commissioned officers who came out of the military academy, but the number is small. Ordinary soldiers have no chance to advance. If they can continue to study on warships and enter the military academy, it will be different. These people already have experience, and the military academy
You will be more qualified to work on a warship after you come out.
"Old Wang's opinion is good." Wu Shengli nodded: "That's it! Mr. Qin, do you have any other suggestions about life?"
"The other thing is to design a special living area for female soldiers." Qin Tao suddenly thought of something and decided to improvise more here.
Female soldier?
Many people opened their eyes wide.
"Dear leaders, as the saying goes, if men and women work together, the work will not be tiring. Warships are not just a stage for men, women also have to play a role." Qin Tao said: "On a warship, the appearance of some female soldiers also
It allows soldiers to perform better and be more energetic. Moreover, in areas such as communications, electronics, missiles, drones, medical care, and sanitation, female soldiers also have advantages."
In 2012, the Navy officially recruited female sailors to join the ships. Since then, there have been female sailors at sea. Ten years later, these female sailors have grown up, and some have even taken up leadership positions. However, when it comes to the Navy
If there are women on the warship, the time will be earlier.
In the early 1990s, female trainees from naval academies had internships on sailing on warships. After the pirates were rampant, naval escort formations were dispatched, followed by female soldiers. The appearance of these female soldiers was a beautiful sight.
However, these female soldiers are just passers-by on the warship and are not part of the establishment.
In fact, there were women on board warships earlier, and Zhao Ling was one of them. When the Hongqi 61 was tested, Zhao Ling boarded the warship and worked with her on it.
Because when the warship was designed, there was no intention to carry female crew members, so the life of female soldiers would be very inconvenient. For example, if there is no accommodation for female soldiers, if there are no officers to free up their own rooms, it is almost impossible to find them to live alone.
In the room, female soldiers have to temporarily occupy the men's room when going to the toilet. If they want to take a shower... this is not necessary. In the previous warship conditions, if you wanted to take a shower, you had to wait for God to rain and go to the deck to wash. God had to take care of it. Don't just do it.
Apply soap and the rain will stop.
We didn't have that condition before, but now we finally have it. We have a seven- to eight-thousand-ton warship, one-stop automated equipment, and a lot of space for members. It's okay to have a cabin specifically for female soldiers and prohibit male soldiers from entering.
"Yes, that's a good suggestion!" Zhao Ling started. After she finished speaking, she felt that what she said was inappropriate. After all, her current identity was not from the navy, but from the Mingzhou Group. She said it like this
, you are praising yourself.
The leaders present were still in shock. Qin Tao looked at Zhao Ling, smiled, and continued: "We can see that on the stage of navies around the world, there are more and more female sailors. Needless to say,
There are also female soldiers on surface ships and even underwater submarines. They use their own bodies to prove the equality of men and women. Of course, the increasing degree of automation of weapons is also a prerequisite for warships to recruit female soldiers."
Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, Qin Tao continued: "The living area we want to set aside for female soldiers must not only have a large cabin, but also a leisure activity area. This area is similar to a living room. It can have sofas and
The large-screen LCD TV, well, there is also a place for studying, where the female soldiers can relax, kill the boredom at sea, and communicate with each other. By the way, a g refrigerator must be set up in this activity area, which can store all kinds of fresh fruits. Female soldiers
If you want to put on a facial mask, you can."
Zhao Ling laughed. Her husband knew the needs of women very well, so he actually prepared a special facial mask area for female soldiers? Aren't you afraid that the old-timers above would go crazy?
"The accommodation area still has bunk beds, but there must be a special dressing mirror, which is twice the size in the male cabin, so that the female soldiers can organize their appearance. There must be a special small table for placing large suitcases.
Taking care of daily tasks…”
"President Qin, you are going to provide female soldiers." A leader said: "Since you have become a soldier, you must forget your gender and only think about the army and the country!"
"No, even if you become a soldier, you are still a woman first." Zhao Ling said: "Uncle Wang, you don't understand female soldiers. These are the basic needs of female soldiers. Such a dedicated female soldier cabin will make women
Soldiers have a higher sense of happiness and will be more enthusiastic when working."
Wu Shengli glanced at Zhao Ling: "Secretary Zhao, was it you who came up with this plan for the female soldier cabin?"
Zhao Ling shook her head: "No, this is the first time I heard it, but you can ask the leaders to investigate and see if the female soldiers want to be on the ship, and if so, what conditions they want to provide. I think,
Mr. Qin’s design is very good. We can also look at the navies of other countries in the world and see how they do it.”
Wu Shengli nodded: "President Qin's proposal is reserved for the time being. We need to investigate it. If we think it is reasonable, we will follow President Qin's plan. Anyway, this modified warship is still in the demonstration stage and there is no need to start construction immediately."
Others also nodded.
Putting female soldiers on board is a big deal, but Qin Tao can't just make the decision in a few words. They have to conduct research within the entire army.
"Leaders, please don't say it's my suggestion when doing research."
"Why?"
"This way they will all admire me, but I still have to keep a low profile."
Zhao Ling pinched Qin Tao in private. You are already in your thirties, and you still say such things?
"Okay, then let's just say that it was President Qin who suggested it." A leader joked, but when he turned around and saw Wu Shengli's eyes, he swallowed the next words back in his stomach: "Next, should we talk about motivation?
System?"
After talking about these in order from front to back, it’s time to talk about the power system, right?
"Okay, let's talk about power first. After talking about power, let's talk about the helicopter." Qin Tao nodded: "Wen Gong, it's your turn!"
The domestic professional research and development institution for shipboard gas turbines is the 703 Institute. When Qin Tao got back the gas turbine technology from Lao Maozi, he handed it over to them. With the technical support of a large number of Lao Maozi experts, they quickly completed it.
The imitation of GT gas turbines has allowed the Navy's warships to have qualified ship-use gas turbines. Now, they have continued their efforts and have a 267-megawatt GT gas turbine.
It is precisely because of this gas turbine that the Navy's warships can be upgraded and improved. However, there are not many things worth reporting about this gas turbine, and it is at the very rear of the warship, so of course it will be introduced later in order.
"Dear leaders, we have completed all the testing work of the GT gas turbine and it can be installed on the ship at any time." Wen Xueyou walked up and began to introduce: "Compared with the prototype, its biggest feature is that the output power has increased, from 20 megawatts to 20 megawatts.
Watt increased to 267 megawatts. It is precisely because of this level of gas turbine that we have achieved the ability to increase the displacement of the destroyer to seven or eight thousand tons. However, in addition to power improvement, we have also made improvements in other aspects.
