Chapter 620 Acceptance of the aircraft carrier and the unknown achievements of the senior sister
At the dock of the First Shipyard, the countdown to the delivery of the first aircraft carrier, which has been marked with the "16" hull number, has begun in hours. The aircraft carrier engineering team, the navy acceptance team and the carrier aviation department conducted a joint acceptance inspection. Li Zhan represented Feisha
Troops participated, accompanied by Han Hongjun and Cheng Da.
There will be a major acceptance inspection later, when leaders such as Commander-in-Chief Zhang, Moran An, and Lao Chen will come. Li Zhan and the others will do more specific work this time, and it is expected to last three days.
Li Zhan's navigation knowledge is limited. He only learned it after joining the Flying Shark Force. He basically can't understand or understand the acceptance of the navigation part. The aviation part is completely different. I'm afraid I have to find someone more experienced than him.
It's hard for people.
He saw that the leader of the team was Chief Engineer Huayang. After observing carefully for a while, he said with some concern, "Chief Engineer Hua's mental state seems not to be very good. It is much worse than before."
Chengda said, "Have you met him before?"
"Well, I've been here a few times. Last time I saw Mr. Hua, his mental state was not that bad." Li Zhan said.
The reason why the Fertile Land Naval Flight Training Base was chosen on Mufu Island is largely due to its superior geographical location - close to the No. 1 Shipyard, on the Bohai Sea, and closest to the capital.
The training of the Flying Shark Force requires close contact with the First Shipyard. Among other things, the first training area and the second training area are built according to the flight deck of the first aircraft carrier. The land-based training area
Including the flight deck, ship building, second deck, etc., it is a one-to-one simulated land aircraft carrier. Daily use requires guidance and assistance from the shipyard, and the shipyard has a technical team that is permanently stationed at the base, and the base often sends personnel
Go to the shipyard to learn about the situation.
Chief Engineer Huayang and his team have been working in the shipyard for many years. They have spent a lot of time understanding the hull, dismantling all the internal settings, re-laying the color pipelines and redeploying the cabins. His sweat has been left in every corner. Launch the aircraft carrier
At the time of the project, Huayang was just an ordinary technician and was twenty-five years old. Now he is fifty-five years old, a full thirty years.
"I will only build one ship in my life and understand the aircraft carrier and I will have no regrets in this life." Huayang Chief Engineer said.
It is rare for scientific researchers to devote their whole lives to one project, but for an aircraft carrier, a single system in it requires an entire generation to study.
When they first came into contact with Varyag, Hua Yang and others used traditional methods to conduct reverse research. As a result, they discovered after a short time that this tried and tested method did not work. It took several years just to lay the cables before they could barely figure it out. Our country’s national defense
There is a good tradition in the scientific research industry. If you don’t understand the technology thoroughly, you will usually not rush to get started. This is why everyone has seen that the Varyag has not changed at all for a long time.
Once you get started, the progress is amazing, almost every day.
Another example is the Type 051B destroyer and the Type 052 destroyer. The former only built one No. 167, and the latter built two, No. 112 and No. 113. After that, no subsequent models appeared for a long time. These three destroyers used
After more than ten years, I have accumulated enough experience and the technology has matured, and then I started to make dumplings, 051C, 052B, 052C, 052D, which is dizzying. This is especially true for the Type 054 frigate. The previous ones were improved with old ships.
, various experiments have been clarified, and new young people will continue to appear. At the peak, four or five ships can be launched a year.
Behind this, people like Huayang Chief Engineer are working silently. Generations of National Defense Force workers have sacrificed their youth and even their lives, and finally lived the way they hated most for so many years.
"People from the aviation unit are here."
Hearing Chief Engineer Huayang shouting, Li Zhan quickly ran over, "Mr. Hua."
"Look at the air traffic control station. This place is responsible for takeoff and landing, air approach and air dispatch. Come and take a look." Chief Engineer Huayang said, pointing to the interior of the brand new air traffic control tower.
Li Zhan hurriedly tested each position one by one. Han Hongjun and Chengda had a tacit understanding of the division of labor and cooperated in the test. The aviation tower is the most important part of the aviation department, more important than the combat command and intelligence center. Fighters must be dispatched smoothly to be effective.
In order to achieve combat capability, a complete command and dispatch system is required to ensure the efficient and orderly operation of the fleet.
Assisting the aviation tower has more than a dozen departments, large and small, including the department specifically responsible for deck maneuvering order. It is a very complex aviation command system dominated by the aviation tower.
Concentrating the entire station on a small aircraft carrier, you can imagine how compact the structure is. With the compact structure, the staffing is also streamlined to a certain extent, so the work pressure of the officers and soldiers responsible for command and support on the aircraft carrier is
It is much larger than on land. It can be said that every officer and soldier on the aircraft carrier is a carefully selected elite.
Li Zhan was operating according to normal command procedures in his position as aviation commander. From time to time he walked up and down the deck and looked around to test whether he could fully grasp the situation on the deck. The aviation tower is the place with the best view on the ship.
Have the best visual range and must see all locations on the flight deck.
The aviation commander must know the position and status of each aircraft as well as the tasks to be performed. He has the greatest responsibility, pressure and workload, so he usually needs to be equipped with assistants. Basically, it can be said that on the aircraft carrier and in the airspace within seven kilometers of the aircraft carrier,
The flight chief is the boss, he has the final say.
When the fighter plane leaves this airspace, it falls under the control of the combat command and intelligence center. The aviation tower releases the fighter plane and then they take care of it. When it comes back to land, the command is returned to the aviation tower, and they will direct the landing, support, etc.
The aviation commander has a heavy responsibility. According to the experience of the US military, most of their aviation department commanders have long-term experience as aviation commanders. The relationship in this position is too important.
There is no problem, it is very comfortable to operate. After so many years of work, the design team has taken everything into consideration, and because it has been following the development of technology and the specific situation of the development of the army, the appearance of the first aircraft carrier does not seem to have changed much, but its interior
It's completely different from before.
Using American-style internal outfitting on a Soviet-made aircraft carrier is an initiative that only the Chinese can accomplish.
After a round of testing, Li Zhan, Han Hongjun and Chengda met and discussed in a low voice. Then Li Zhan said to Mr. Hua, "Mr. Hua, there is no problem here."
"Okay, next cabin." Mr. Hua turned around and walked away neatly, his style of racing against time was fully reflected.
From the highest floor to the lowest floor of the ship building, we were divided into four groups and inspected floor by floor and cabin by cabin. Even so, it was already night when we arrived at the engine room. Even the young people couldn't bear it anymore, but the fifty-five
The year-old Engineer Hua was still in high spirits. After completing the acceptance inspection, he ate a combat meal directly on the flight deck. After that, he held a summary meeting on site and formed a draft acceptance report on the spot. By this time, it was already late at night.
After the meeting, Li Zhan couldn't help but said to Mr. Hua, "Mr. Hua, you have to pay attention to your rest. This is too intense."
"I've already gotten used to it, okay, young man, thank you." Mr. Hua smiled and patted Li Zhan on the shoulder.
After the first aircraft carrier is completed, Chief Engineer Hua will go to a new position and lead the team to build the first domestically produced aircraft carrier. In fact, this work has already started, and Chief Engineer Hua is wearing two hats. The first domestically produced aircraft carrier
The overall design has been completed, and construction will begin next. It is a critical period, so Engineer Hua is working on both ends.
Without bothering to say a few more words to Li Zhan, Engineer Hua returned to the office to continue working on the first domestically produced aircraft carrier. He would not sleep until three or four in the morning. He would get up after three or four hours of sleep and continue the same process.
Intense work and painstaking efforts are beyond description of his contribution to the aircraft carrier cause.
"I've been to Mr. Hua's office."
In the car returning to the base overnight, Li Zhan said with emotion, "He treats the office as his home. It has a camp bed, a rice cooker, an electric kettle, and a bathroom renovated inside. He lives directly there. He can sleep five or six hours a day."
It’s almost a luxury.”
Chengda said worriedly, "If this continues for a long time, it will cause great harm to the body. The shipyard should think of a way."
"There is no way. There is a gap in scientific research personnel, and young people cannot keep up. Many people of his generation have either changed careers midway or have studied abroad and have not come back. The only one who can carry this banner is Chief Engineer Hua. He is also in charge of the new aircraft carrier.
, one shoulder and two picks. I always say that the training intensity of our Flying Sharks is very high, and it is not worth mentioning compared with the Hua General Engineer."
Han Hongjun shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Hua is about the same age as my dad, but my dad looks much younger than him."
"The reality is very helpless." Li Zhan said, "We can only train harder and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible after the aircraft carrier is delivered. Only in this way can we live up to the efforts of Chief Engineer Hua."
Chengda sighed and said, "Yeah, what we can do is very limited."
Li Zhan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, lit a cigarette and lowered the window. The Land Cruiser was driving on the coastal road. The fishy sea breeze blew over and refreshed his spirit. After taking two puffs of cigarettes, Li Zhan improved.
Volume said, "Many people don't understand why our military industry has been groping for so many years without seeing any results after Varyangra came back, including many people in the military. The most critical thing in the development of aircraft carriers is not one or a few technologies, nor is it
It’s not a matter of technological advancement, or even the materials being the most difficult.”
"I don't know much about this aspect." Chengda became interested.
Han Hongjun asked, "Captain, I don't understand it very well. I do feel that it is not easy for me to accept it personally that I am still tormenting Varyag after so many years."
Li Zhan said, "The most critical and important thing is the basic data. A large amount of basic data needs to be obtained through a large number of experiments. These are the most important and basic."
"You know this design and even the design ideas, but you have to understand why it is designed this way and what the measurement standards of each indicator are. It is impossible without tens of millions of tests. I talked with people from Shenfei Factory
, the reason why Su Liangqi’s localization work has been carried out for so many years has not really been completed. It was not until the domestic fly-by-wire flight control was released that the problem was completely solved. It was not because they did not have enough technology but because it required a lot of testing and there was no shortcut.
Walkable takes a lot of time to experiment with.”
"For example, what is the cause of the flight control system failure of our J-50 that Zhang Xueyang encountered? It is because the design of the aircraft itself is flawed. Even if the probability of failure is very low, once it occurs, it will cause serious damage to the aircraft and fatalities.
Accident. Lao Zhang is very lucky. Why can't we deal with Su Sansan after we won Su Liangqi? Although it is the same platform, the essence of the improvement is completely different. Just folding the wings is a big difficulty.
, the best way to use this aircraft as soon as possible is to follow the example, develop it according to the prototype, and then find ways to solve the problem of flight control defects."
Li Zhan said regretfully, "Like large aircraft, we once had a good hand. If we had developed smoothly back then, civil aviation would be flying our own large aircraft now. Unfortunately, the entire aviation industry had been stagnant for nearly two decades.
During this period, we missed too much time and opportunities. Now we have to pay more price and time to pick it up again."
"Fortunately, the development of military aircraft has always been able to maintain progress." Cheng Da nodded in agreement.
Even in the most difficult period, the development of military aircraft has not stagnated, although of course it has been affected, which is a blessing among misfortunes. There are historical reasons why we currently see military aircraft developing much faster than civilian aircraft.
The development of military aircraft and civilian aircraft are two separate lines.
"Yes!" Li Zhan took a puff of cigarette and said, "Extending to look at the scientific research industry, especially the national defense scientific research industry, it is very necessary for the state to control it. If those aircraft manufacturing plants did not have military attributes, the military would be tightened
Gritting our teeth and insisting on ensuring basic research, I'm afraid our military aircraft will also be doomed."
Han Hongjun asked curiously, "The Yunshi project is a national pain. Some people believe that the main reason for the failure of the Yunshi project was a conflict of ideas. As a result, the other faction gained the upper hand."
Cheng Da said, "The background of the times was different at that time. Not long after the reform, there were many people pursuing short-term economic interests. Another one is..."
He expressed some of his own opinions and sighed again.
"When I was working in Beiku, I went to the Changchun Aircraft Factory. Their large transport aircraft project is going very smoothly. It is estimated that it will make its first flight next year. I have seen the drawings. It is a beautiful big aircraft. The Red Army has seen me
Senior sister, my senior sister also contributed to this project." Li Zhan changed the topic to a happy one.
Han Hongjun was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I remembered that time when Sichuan Airlines' Boeing 747 cargo plane was diverted to Beiku, the captain and your senior sister didn't look like someone in their thirties at all.
"
Li Zhan said, "She is thirty-eight this year."
"I don't understand, please tell me." Cheng Da asked.
Li Zhan said with a smile, "After my senior sister changed her career, she worked for Sichuan Airlines to fly large cargo planes, flying routes to Eastern Europe. I guess the aircraft engines that time should be used by the YOFC factory."
Cheng Daquan suddenly understood.
"Your senior sister is a hero! An unsung hero!"
"Why is it nameless? My senior sister's name is Zhu Qingying."
