1344 Submarines loaded onto battleships
"This requires some transformation, especially the location below the waterline on both sides of the warship." While saying that, Wu Tianhai was gesturing on the bulkheads on both sides of the warship.
Liu Yijiu looked at him and his meaning was obviously to add launch channels on both sides of the battleship.
This will make some places on the hull protrude.
"If this happens, it will have a significant impact on the speed of the battleship, right?" According to Wu Tianhai's plan, the bottom area of the battleship must be widened.
In this way, the center of gravity of the warship can indeed be lowered, and even when turning, it will be more stable.
It's totally equivalent to weighting the bottom.
"According to the simulation operations of supercomputers, after adding some shell problems, it will indeed cause greater resistance due to the larger area in contact with water, which will have some impact on the speed. However, this can make the center of gravity lower and stronger when maneuvering. Of course, if we can have a gas turbine unit with stronger power, we can also increase the speed." Wu Tianhai introduced seriously and showed Liu Yijiu what the added protruding part looks like.
"In fact, tilted launching will not have much impact on submarine-launched missiles. The reason why submarines need to be launched vertically is that the submarine structure determines that these huge missiles can only be installed vertically. If we can have more advanced submarine-launched missiles, we don't even need to install this part, and we can install more submarine-launched missiles directly under the waterline of the warship."
Obviously, Wu Tianhai, like Liu Yijiu, hoped to build this missile battleship into the most powerful sea monster in the world.
However, Wu Tianhai was even more crazy.
"What if we tilt the opening now? Submarine-launched missiles like Julang-1 are too huge."
"This will prevent the center of gravity from being lowered." Wu Tianhai shook his head.
Obviously, this has been discussed by them.
"Let's forget it. Submarine-launched missiles are originally submarines. If it is just to increase the attack and defense capabilities of battleships, it is really unnecessary. Battleships cannot penetrate into the water like submarines on the water. Equipment is originally intended to allow submarines to have hidden attacks, ensure the submarines' stronger concealment and improve their survivability. Battleship equipment is not of much use." Liu Yijiu thought for a while, and felt that it would be better to modify the hull structure in this way without having too strong technical capabilities at present.
There is really no need to add submarine-launched missiles.
However, although Liu Yijiu rejected the other party's plan, it gave him a new plan.
Without the huge recoil generated by the main gun that almost causes the warship to overturn, the horizontal balancing compartment on both sides of the bottom of the warship no longer exists. Of course, when one side of the warship is penetrated, it can also be used to ensure the safety of the warship, but it can be fully utilized.
If something happens, just seal the entire cabin.
The personnel inside can be evacuated, and even operate directly using remote control.
If water enters, it will not have much impact on the performance of the weapons and equipment inside.
He immediately spoke to everyone, "Although it is not a submarine missile, this is very similar to a submarine. We can turn this into a submarine. Torpedo launch chambers can be added on both sides, and anti-submarine equipment is installed inside. In this way, anti-submarine capabilities can be effectively increased and the burden on the top can be reduced..."
This is the inspiration the other party gave to Liu Yijiu.
For people like Liu Yijiu, sometimes a little bit of inspiration can make things more perfect.
Especially in the design of weapons and equipment.
"The middle part can also be used to store more depth bombs and anti-submarine rockets. When these are moved down, the weight on the top is not much reduced, but the performance of the warship will also be improved. At the same time, there is a greater space to arrange more early warning systems and firepower systems."
The space at the bottom is occupied by gas turbines and nuclear reactors in the back, as well as a huge spindle connecting the tail propulsion system.
The working environment is harsh. In the first half, it turned out to be a reserve warehouse used for ammunition.
Without the huge main gun, these parts will naturally be empty.
After hearing Liu Yijiu's words, Wu Tianhai and Ai Guoxiu quickly recorded their work notes.
Ai Guoxiu was really unacceptable to this matter and was completely numb now. Liu Yijiu came here, not to solve the problem, but to increase the difficulty of the project.
"These systems just move the submarines over and use them directly. There is no need to think too much about them. Submarine detection equipment, detection equipment, and even conventional weapon systems..." Liu Yijiu looked at the model. Although it was exactly in proportion, he could not see the internal situation. He immediately said, "I don't understand the specific situation here. Let's go to the battleships in the dock to see how the internal space is arranged more reasonably."
By the way, Liu Yijiu also wanted to see the situation of the battleship.
The huge warship has been back for so many years, but he has not boarded it to check it out.
The two had no objection to his request, and immediately summoned a lot of designers, especially the relevant weapon system and structural designers, and headed towards the dock in a mighty manner.
The current dock has become a huge construction site. On the far right side, there is a 100,000-ton dock under construction, and the dock where the Iowa-class battleship is located was built before.
Huge port equipment is erected on both sides of the dock, and the dock in the middle area has a huge top, where the most advanced nuclear submarines of the Republic are being built.
"After the installation is carried out, this needs to be kept confidential. Both the Americans and the Soviet satellites can see our progress. We must be prepared for this." Liu Yijiu looked at the above, then looked up at the sky, unable to help but feel a little worried.
Although the resolution of American spy satellites is not too high yet, they can also be seen in a vague way.
The transformation of the battleships was left with huge shells, which was different from the modular construction of the aircraft carriers that were built in the Republic later. It needed to be built layer by layer like a house in the space inside the hull frame.
Many equipment will be installed after the construction of this layer is completed and then the construction of the above layer will be carried out.
The bottom power system will be the first to be built.
Wu Donghao frowned at Liu Yijiu's request, "Director Liu, the dock is too large, and the construction project on the top is too big. And it is too late to..."
"Who said he should be covered on it? The gantry cranes on both sides are so big, how high should they be built to suit? And the span is too large." Liu Yijiu shook his head. He had never thought about building a roof to cover the dock.
Even if there is a steel structure, it will seriously affect the construction progress.
Wu Donghao was a little confused.
Others also don't know what method should be used.
"Create thick smoke from both sides of the dock so that the satellites cannot see the area clearly. Unless the moon is bright and the stars are sparse at night, it is not used at other times, nor when there is heavy fog. This is also true, including the 100,000-ton dock under construction there." Liu Yijiu gave the simplest method.
I don't care about the impact of the environment at all.
Western countries have polluted the earth for hundreds of years, and then they have developed, but they have demanded that China, which has just begun to develop, be responsible for the environment.
What's more, doing this will have the greatest benefit - arresting American spies.
The existence of shipyards must be known to Americans for such a seaside area. They suddenly disappeared from under their eyelids. Can they not be curious?
Their spies developed in China will definitely keep approaching this area.
Without saying anything, the vast group of people began to board the hull that had been mostly empty inside.
The battleship has been back for so long, and it has been completely drawn by domestic surveying and mapping personnel. At present, there are a small number of workers and technicians studying and dismantling them while researching and dismantling them. Many structures are lifted out by giant towers. They do not need to be modified in the future and must be installed back. They are stored directly on both sides of the dock and cleaned and maintained by workers.
Those that need to be renovated will be sent directly to the relevant factory.
It was completely useless and was thrown aside. Although these steels were from decades ago, they were still usable.
The most advanced warship steel used in the United States is not completely copied in China.
From the deck to the bottom, the height is more than five-story building. Standing on the top deck and looking down, the inside becomes a building under construction. In some places, all the decks are removed to expose the bottom, while in some places there are several floors high that have not been demolished.
"When will the area over there be removed to the bottom, when will the power system start assembly? How is the production progress?" Liu Yijiu asked Wu Donghao and Ma Dong, the chief engineer beside him.
"The power system is produced by the Ninth Hospital. It has not been completed yet. I communicated with them and said that it will take three months to complete the production..." Ma Dong explained.
Liu Yijiu didn't say anything. The Ninth Hospital said three months, so it would definitely only be ahead of schedule without delaying the construction period.
The nuclear power system is not complicated for the power research unit of the Ninth Academy.
The only technical difficulty is to build a miniaturized nuclear reactor.
The Ninth Hospital relies on the nuclear power plant to provide sufficient electricity. The technology adopted by the nuclear power plant is to use the high-temperature heating water generated by the reaction to turn into water vapor to promote the steam turbine generator. There is no need to generate electricity here, but only the nuclear reactor needs to heat the water vapor and push the steam turbine to drive the spindle to rotate, so that the propeller can rotate...
