Chapter 212 Weapon System Outfitting
"Chief Secretary Pan, please come to me."
Pan Jinfu said: "Let me find a seat and sit down. There is one thing I want to talk to you."
Yang Fan had a premonition that it was probably not related to the design of the No. 2 ship, but something else, and it seemed that things might be more important.
To get straight to the point, Pan Jinfu said directly: "Our third and fourth two gas turbines may not arrive as expected."
What!
Yang Fan was shocked!
He was really shocked. No one knew the seriousness of this matter better than Yang Fan. His face changed slightly and he asked, "Do we know the specific reason?"
Pan Jinfu replied slowly: "The real reason is still under investigation. General Electric's reply is that there are too many orders, and it will take several months for the two gas turbines provided to us to be manufactured and completed."
Yang Fan didn't believe this reason.
As a world-renowned gas turbine manufacturing company, it has strong strength and no matter how many orders it is, it will definitely be busy.
It is not impossible to deliver the goods as required by the order. In addition, our orders with General Electric were signed a few years ago. They had known the delivery date long ago and could arrange production and manufacturing in advance.
Yang Fan said with concern: "Don't mix political and political factors into it. If there are factors from the US military behind it, then things will be very big."
Pan Jinfu also had this concern and nodded and said, "There are also concerns in this regard. It may be that the research and development and construction of our 052 ship are progressing smoothly, which has stimulated some people in the US military to deliberately instruct General Electric to delay our gas turbines."
"Based on this consideration, in order to facilitate delivery of GE as soon as possible, the General Command has selected a three-person team and will travel to the United States in the near future to urge them to deliver the third and fourth two gas turbines as soon as possible."
"Commander Huang called me to communicate with me. He originally wanted to send you to the place with me, but I considered that the first ship was about to start the installation of the weapon system and might face some technical problems, so I kept you."
"Um."
Yang Fan nodded gently, knowing that he was indeed not suitable to leave in the near future. Not only did the design of the No. 02 ship have a lot of things, but the weapon system outfit of the first ship is about to begin.
Weapon system outfits, no more than other outfits.
Its technical requirements are much higher, requiring all weapons and equipment to be installed strictly in accordance with technical requirements, and the process error is often in units of wire and seconds.
Such strict process errors are basically equivalent to zero-error installation.
Back at his office, Yang Fan sat down and thought quietly, hoping that the third and fourth gas turbines would finally arrive.
It should be just that some people in the US military secretly stumbling, and the final arrival is still possible. There are still a few years before the United States introduces a policy to restrict exports to China. If the United States introduces such a policy, the supply cutoff of gas turbines will be a foregone conclusion.
There is no such policy for the time being, just someone is secretly making trouble. The third and fourth gas turbines should be able to arrive.
Of course, the ideal result is that in two or three years, the fifth and sixth gas turbines will arrive. If you have six lm2500 gas turbines in your hand, you will be much more proactive. If all eight gas turbines can arrive, that is the best result.
However, Yang Fan dared not be extravagant and had such a good result. Thank God to the fact that he could get six units of goods.
.........
Donghai Shipyard.
The weapon system of the first ship is about to enter outfit. Before the formal outfit, Chief Construction Engineer Chen Shaohua personally presided over the meeting.
There are not only technical personnel, production management personnel, but also some other relevant personnel, such as Zhang Shikai, the head of the martial arts department of the Donghai Shipyard.
He was reporting to everyone, "Comrades, the weapons and equipment of each supporting factory have been basically in place, including the main guns we need, and all imported weapons and equipment have been in place..."
After listening to the report, Chen Shaohua personally ordered, "Starting tomorrow, we will start the official outfit of the weapon system."
When everyone heard this order, they were both excited and a little nervous.
Why are you nervous?
Because everyone knows that the outfitting requirements of weapon systems are very high, and the process error is very small, almost zero-error outfitting.
The strict process requirements are far above the radar system installation.
In addition, all weapons and equipment must be targeted at a benchmark platform, which increases the difficulty of installation. Even though we know that there is a considerable technical difficulty, we still cannot hide our excitement in our hearts.
Almost everyone knows that if the weapon system outfit is successfully completed, the outfit of the first ship will overcome the biggest difficulty, and the remaining outfit is only a matter of time.
Chen Shaohua's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and his heart was the same. His mood was similar to everyone's, but he was not revealed on his face.
He waved his hand and said, "After the meeting, everyone can carry out relevant preparations. Here I would like to remind everyone that quality is the first priority and must not be taken lightly."
After the meeting, everyone became busy.
The next day.
Today is a good weather. A red sun rises from the east, and the rising sun shines on the boat platform. The 052 ship in the outfit adds a layer of golden glow.
Some technicians are busy.
They were preparing for the outfitting of the weapon system. The supervisor technician Jiang Liang, with two young technicians, was checking and measuring the inclination angle of the ship with a laser theodolite.
Now it's not just him, the two technicians next to him can skillfully operate a laser theodolite, and they didn't know how to use it a few months ago.
"Mr. Jiang, is it really Director Yang who taught you how to operate the laser theodolite?"
Jiang Liang, who was operating the laser theodolite, stopped and said proudly: "Yes, it was Director Yang who taught me, no, now we should call General Yang Assistant."
“Yes, yes, general assistant.”
The technician nodded quickly, and a bit of admiration appeared in his expression. He had heard of Yang Fan's deeds and also heard of Yang Fan's lecture. The young technician admired Yang Fan very much and almost regarded Yang Fan as his idol.
When talking about Yang Fan, Jiang Liang seemed to be intrigued.
"After buying this theodolite, the operating buttons and operating instructions are all in English. We are in a state of silence, holding the dictionary to search for English words."
"Haha, how could I know? Mr. Yang is very powerful. He took the instruction manual and took a few glances, and then started to operate it proficiently. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it."
Awesome, awesome!
It is worthy of being Mr. Yang!
The two young men were so impressed by their skills, their eyes full of admiration.
With this laser theodolite, it has brought great convenience to the construction of the first ship. The weapon system is about to begin to be installed, and it can be used to check and measure the tilt angle of the construction ship platform and the angle of the weapon installation reference platform.
There are many types of shipbuilding platforms, including inclined ship platforms, horizontal ship platforms, semi-dock ship platforms, and shipbuilding ship docks.
The Donghai Shipyard built the 052 ship, using an inclined ship platform.
The so-called inclined boat platform is a boat platform with a certain angle between the plane and the horizontal plane of the boat platform. It is also the most commonly used form of boat platform by shipyards.
Jiang Liang skillfully operated the laser theodolite. After checking, he said loudly: "The tilt angle of the boat is 5 degrees and 32 points, which meets the requirements."
Then, the weapon installation reference plane of the warship began to be measured, and the measured inclination angle was recorded to prepare for the subsequent weapon system installation.
Two days later.
The preparations for weapon outfitting are completed, and the outfitting of each weapon can be started.
Early in the morning, Chen Shaohua, Xie Xinjian, Zheng Xianxue and others all arrived next to the ship platform, and everyone would watch the first weapon and equipment lifted with their own eyes.
The head of the military department of the Donghai Shipyard personally directed the weapon and equipment were equipped with a hanging ring, a wire rope was hooked, and slowly lifted up.
In everyone's eyes, they were hung up to the ship tower, and after reaching the appropriate position, they slowly fell towards the installation position.
After a little distance from the installation reference position, several workers began to make adjustments and measured. After no problems, they began to fall slowly.
The scene was quieter and no one spoke.
Chen Shaohua didn't say anything, and looked at the weapon and equipment tightly, watching it slowly falling, and then aimed at the installation benchmark.
Finally, it fell steadily on the installation benchmark and aimed at the positioning hole. A skilled person immediately took the relevant data to measure it.
Even though it has fallen steadily, no one dares to breathe a sigh of relief, because this is just the beginning, and I don’t know whether it is qualified or not.
Sure enough, after measuring, the technician shook his head gently.
It does not meet the process requirements and has installation deviations.
So, the equipment was hung up again, adjusted again, and then slowly landed on the installation position, and then measured again.
After several round trips, the technician's voice finally came, "The angle is qualified and the installation size meets the process requirements."
Suddenly, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally the installation was successful.
Chen Shaohua, who had originally had a tense face, looked obviously lighter. Xie Xinjian next to him applauded happily and said loudly: "Okay, a good start, it will be successful in a few rounds."
Suddenly, many people applauded desperately to congratulate the successful installation of the first weapon and equipment.
Because of the technical difficulty and high technology requirements, the installation of the weapon system of the Donghai Shipyard is not progressing quickly. In December, they have only installed more than a dozen of weapons and equipment.
Although the progress is a little slower, the quality is still guaranteed. All weapons and equipment that have been installed meet the process requirements.
Among so many weapons and equipment, what is the most difficult to install?
Almost everyone knows it.
There is no doubt that is the main gun!
