Chapter 116: Improvisation is Tradition
Xu Xingchen jogged all the way to the scientific research center. In front of Yuanwang No. 2 and Yingtan, they opened the rendering renderings of the 055 remake version and waited.
Seeing Xu Xingchen come in, Yuanwang No. 2 said directly:
"We're finally here, come and give a name and generate core..."
Xu Xingchen walked over quickly to the two of them, looked at the 30,000 tons of hull parameters on the screen, and said with a strange expression:
"The question now is how to choose this name, and what standards should it be, whether it is the provincial or municipal name or the city name..."
Yuanwang No. 2 said for granted:
"What else can it be? 055 is a destroyer. Of course, according to the standards of the destroyer, use the city name!"
Xu Xingchen pointed at the screen and said:
"How can there be a destroyer with 30,000 tons in the world? How can there be a destroyer with 320mm cannon in the world?"
Yuanwang spread his hands helplessly:
"Not called a destroyer? The commander wants to add new types of ships to our system? This is a very troublesome thing. Keep following the name of the destroyer!"
Xu Xingchen instantly felt a little enlightened when he heard this strange reason.
The 055 in the new era, whether it is the tonnage of 12,000 tons of hull or the ability to serve as a fleet command center, is completely in line with the definition of an American cruiser.
NATO also naturally defined it as a cruiser, and compared it with the American Ticonderoga-class cruiser. This is also the first time in China that the American class wants...
What the hell is Burke III? If the CGX solution can be created, USN wouldn't ask her to make do with it...
Against the background that most of the standards from the military to the civilian country are copied from the US system, and even the air combat voice is copied from the US system textbook, the new 055 is still defined as a destroyer.
The reason is probably that Yuanwang said casually now, at least one of the main reasons...
In our equipment system, there should be no cruiser column from the beginning, and there is certainly no way to discuss related systems and practices.
Ordinary people say casually that they should be called cruisers, just say something empty.
But for the relevant technicians, this is adding an unprecedented new demand to a giant project that is stable and running.
The system does not have such a functional interface preset.
The key is that this requirement has no practical significance. Just like adding oracle bone fonts to the ID card font library, does it not affect the use at all? Why should I mess with it?
The same may be true for 055. I don’t want to add a new equipment category at all, nor do I need to add a new equipment category.
In their opinion, although 055 is greatly improved compared to 052D, it is still only a superior upgrade product of the same type, and the gap is not so big that it must be a single-class category.
Even if the actual gap is so huge that it needs to be single-lined, you have to first see if there are existing standards that can be made up for.
075 The amphibious assault ships are all going to work with aircraft carriers, using the same naming method and hull number, and are unwilling to define a new set of ship types, which shows the ability to make do with them.
This may also be one of the reasons why there are so many "modified" models of various equipment...
Xu Xingchen even suspected that even if it was an all-around ship planned by Mr. Ma, when it was really built, it might still have to be called a destroyer, and at most it would use the two-digit hull number of the aircraft carrier...
Of course, it is not only the domestic ones that make do with it, but the US is also making do with it. The current missile destroyers are also called destroyers, which is a kind of make do with it.
The large number of MK2, MK7, MK47, MKA in the Western equipment name is actually the same thing as mark 2, mark 7, mark 47, mark A, which can be regarded as the second, 7, 47, and "Tianzi No. 1"...
As a specialized scientific researcher, Sister Yuanwang in front of her has a similar mentality to her colleagues. Her name is as long as it can be used...
After a brief hesitation, Xu Xingchen tried to ask:
"In our system, is it troublesome to change the name of a ship type? Is it troublesome to create a new standard?"
Yuanwang No. 2 blinked his eyes, and then said with a sudden realization:
"Our system doesn't seem to be troublesome. It's just a matter of one sentence, but naming and specifying rules are very troublesome. Commander, if you want to use new names and rules, then you think about it yourself. Anyway, I don't care..."
"Uh... well..."
Xu Xingchen nodded slightly, looked at the rendering of the hull on the screen, and gently tapped the table and muttered:
"This is definitely a new type of ship. It is impossible to calculate it as an ordinary destroyer. It must be a first-class ship like an aircraft carrier.
"Her characteristics are designed for ship girls, which are not available to modern navy and may never be built.
"Her naming rules should be different from modern naval forces, and we must also avoid occupying the modern naval ship name library as much as possible.
"How about using ancient place names? How about the highest-level names named after ancient dynasties or national capitals?
"The first such ship girl in front of me now uses Yangcheng, the capital of the Xia Dynasty... The name of Yangcheng seems to be still used in the place...
"Then use Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, Sister Yuanwang, Sister Yingtan, what do you think?"
Yuanwang waved his hand and said:
"I don't care. It's okay to call it anyway. Anyway, you can decide. Now the ship girl has the name, what's the name of that ship? What's the name? And the hull number rules have been determined?"
Xu Xingchen was suddenly worried:
"What's the good name for a ship? If it's called a cruiser, it's no different from a destroyer.
"Or it is an all-round ship? There is no integrated power system, and there is no ability to become a new main ship.
"Arsenal ship? Do you have the arsenal system with a 256 or above and would you be embarrassed to call it an arsenal? Do you just use a battleship?"
Yingtan next to him smiled and said:
"I think the battleship is enough. Since the ship name uses ancient place names, the ship type has also used the ancient ship type, so it is called a battleship, a missile battleship."
Xu Xingchen nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, that's called a missile battleship. If the hull number is used, squeeze the aircraft carrier and the two attacks. Use double digits to form a backward from 66. The first one is more than 30 to give two attacks."
After hearing this, Yuanwang No. 2 directly entered the corresponding rules into the scientific research system. In this way, the same type of ship will be generated directly according to the rules.
While entering, Yuanwang No. 2 couldn't help but complain:
"I thought the commander had any great arguments, but in the end I was still doing it, or was the battleship, name and aircraft carrier hull number?"
Xu Xingchen said a little embarrassedly:
"I'm called respecting naval traditions. Didn't I set up new naming rules?"
Yuanwang laughed and said:
"Yes, the commander is right."
At the same time as the entry was completed, the scientific research equipment deducted two sets of resources and generated the 055-1968 remake version - Chaoge's exclusive ship girl core of the missile battleship No. 1.
Then Xu Xingchen held this special soul core and took Yuanwang No. 2 and Yingtan to the construction center.
Open up the resource supply, complete the self-inspection of the construction system, put it into the soul core, and officially start construction.
"The ship's soul core was detected, and the core is being dissolved..."
"Dissolving is completed... a ship blueprint is being generated..."
"The hull blueprint has been generated..."
"The Yuanchu substance is being injected..."
"Active energy is being injected..."
"After the injection, a total of 32,000 units of primary substances and 25,000 units of active energy are consumed."
"Start the hull construction...it is expected to take 3 hours."
Chapter completed!
