Chapter 223 Painting
Two or three seconds passed.
Su Haicai said: "Comrade Yang Fan, I am so grateful. I have gained a lot from so much information. How to do it next, I already have a clear idea."
Yang Fan was also very happy.
I thought to myself that based on my understanding of the 730 30mm close-defense gun, I have talked a lot. I hope that our 857 close-defense gun can be quickly improved and improved, and truly become one of the world's advanced ones.
Perhaps in three or five years, our 052 ship will be equipped with a world-class close-defense gun system.
The technical and tactical indicators of a warship are often closely related to the weapon system. With various advanced weapon systems, this warship will not be too bad.
In the world, after many famous warships were designed and manufactured, it is not uncommon to develop advanced weapons at the moment, warships and other weapons.
He closed his notebook with satisfaction, and even the white paper Yang Fan used to draw sketches to sort out, folded it carefully, and put it into his bag.
Su Hai feels very rewarding!
Yang Fan said, "Chief Designer Su, if you have any problems in the future, just call me directly. We can also talk about the 857 near-defense gun on the phone."
"Sure, certain!"
Su Hai nodded repeatedly. After going back, he had already thought about any problems in future design and research and development and would call to consult.
This time, I have gained a lot.
It's completely full of loads!
Yang Fan gave him a huge surprise!
Unexpectedly, Yang Fan knew so well about the 857 close-defense gun, and some improvement suggestions were simply to the point, and it was completely up to the point.
Awesome, awesome!
Su Dahai was very impressed. After putting away his things, he held Yang Fan's hand tightly and said with gratitude: "I'll treat you tonight, let's have two drinks."
Yang Fan said: "Are you a guest from afar or I treat you?"
"No, you want to give me this face, I'll invite you this time." Su Hai insisted.
The feeling was hard to stop. Yang Fan laughed and stopped insisting. The two left the Donghai Office, found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, ordered a bottle of wine, and drank while eating.
......
Time entered March 1989.
The outfitting of the first ship is completed.
Today's Donghai Shipyard seems to be a little different from usual, even the air is filled with joy. From below Lu Guodong, everyone's faces are full of joy.
Why are you so happy?
Because the outfit is completed, the first ship will be painted today.
Ships are built on land and sailing at sea. Steel plates, steel, etc., which are the main material of the hull, will be corroded by the industrial atmosphere and marine environment one after another.
In order to prevent steel corrosion and extend the service life of the hull, the steel and hull must be removed and painted.
This kind of engineering operation that removes rust, cleans and paints steel and hulls is called ship coating. In addition to hull protection, hull coating also has external decoration and anti-fouling at the bottom of the ship.
The 052 ship uses the general section construction method.
During the steel processing and segmented manufacturing stage, some coating work has been completed, and all that needs to be done is to be painted on board.
The so-called on-board coating is the painting operation of the ship on the board and on the dock before it is launched and after it is launched.
Yang Fan knew that the first ship would start painting today.
Early in the morning, Yang Fan drove his big off-road vehicle and did not go to the Donghai Station, but went directly to the Donghai Shipyard.
The goal was very clear. After entering the Donghai Shipyard, I went directly to the construction ship platform and parked the car in an empty area not far away.
At this moment, although it was less than 8 o'clock in the morning, there were already many people on the board or next to the board.
Most of them are workers from the Donghai Shipyard, some managers, some technicians, etc. Some people are familiar with this off-road vehicle. When they see this vehicle, many people think.
Assistant General Yang is here!
Chen Shaohua knew that Yang Fan was coming, but he didn't expect that it was so early. It was not until 8 o'clock in the morning and the painting work had not started yet.
Seeing this off-road vehicle parked not far away and seeing Yang Fan getting off the bus, he happily greeted him and said loudly from a distance: "Assistant General Yang, you're here so soon."
Yang Fan replied with a smile: "The painting of our first ship is a big deal. I must witness it starts the painting work with my own eyes."
Ha ha.....
Chen Shaohua laughed.
The first ship painting is also a big deal for the entire Donghai shipyard, especially since the painting is completed, the construction of the first ship has been basically completed.
Thank you for so much hard work, from the construction preparation, to the drawing layout, to the steel plate cutting, to the segmented manufacturing, then the total section construction, to the outfitting...
As we walked along the way, we watched the first ship gradually take shape and approaching completion, it was estimated that not only Chen Shaohua, but also the workers in the Donghai Shipyard would have a strong sense of accomplishment in our hearts.
I have paid so much, worked overtime, fought the scorching heat in summer, and fought the severe cold in winter, and finally got rewards and results.
Chen Shaohua held Yang Fan's hand tightly.
"See, our first ship is almost completed and is almost completed!"
I feel happy in my dreams!
The first ship is close to completion!
What a proud and happy thing this is!!!
Yang Fan seemed to fully feel Chen Shaohua's mood. He smiled happily, shook his hands hard, and said slightly excitedly: "Congratulations, it's only a matter of time before our first ship is fully completed, and it won't take long."
"right!"
Chen Shaohua said confidently: "At most two months, we will complete the full painting and then we can go into the water!"
The two of them talked and laughed and walked to the construction ship platform.
Standing at this position, Yang Fan looked at the 052 ship happily and thought to himself that this is our second-generation missile destroyer. Although it is a certain gap compared with the world's advanced level, it has already improved qualitatively compared with the 051 ship.
The gap with the world's advanced is only temporary, because our 052 ship adopts a modular and platform design. In this design, Yang Fan is confident that there are not many advanced foreign missile destroyers that can be compared with the 052 ship, or even none.
Such reasonable, advanced modular and platform design will be very convenient to upgrade technology and replace related equipment and equipment in the future.
This will take many detours in upgrading and replacement. In a few years, ten years, or twenty years, our 052 ship will definitely be among the most advanced and outstanding missile destroyers in the world.
Yang Fan has full confidence in this!
As a reborn person, he has been ahead of the world for decades. If we cannot make our ship career advance to the world, Yang Fan himself will not agree.
He looked at the 052 ship with great satisfaction, and after a long time he looked back, he asked: "Old Chen, the preparations before painting have been completed."
"It's all ready!"
Chen Shaohua answered loudly and looked at the time, "It was scheduled to start the official painting work at 8:30."
Yang Fan also looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and it was not long before the painting began.
After a while.
There were more and more people next to the ship platform. Not only were there technical personnel, managers, and even some workers rushed over to watch the fun, wanting to see the painting of the first ship.
Xie Xinjian, Zheng Xianxue and others also came here.
What is even more exciting is that the person in charge of the shipbuilding platform came with several workers, and each worker was carrying a large roll of "earth red" firecrackers.
The rolls of firecrackers were untied and laid on the ground, at least hundreds of meters long, almost the same length as the 052 ship on the ship platform, basically keeping parallel to the 052 ship, and about ten meters away.
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan smiled, "Old Chen, you have a strong sense of ritual, and you have prepared so many 'earth red' firecrackers."
"Da Earth Red" firecrackers are larger than ordinary firecrackers. Each firecracker is almost as thick as a pencil. The firecrackers are big and very loud when ignited. After the explosion, red firecracker paper scraps will be left on the ground. As long as the number of firecrackers is large, a layer will be laid, and the whole ground is red, all called "Da Earth Red".
There really is a little ritual!
Yang Fan also agrees very much with doing so.
Painting means that the building is basically completed. It is not an exaggeration to celebrate and make fun of it.
"Look, Director Lu and the others are here."
"Really, almost all the leaders of our factory have arrived."
Everyone's eyes were attracted by several small cars. These small cars drove over and parked in the vacant area next to the construction platform, almost parallel to Yang Fan's Jeep off-road.
Lu Guodong, Zhang Guoxin...
All the leaders of the Donghai Shipyard are here.
It's so grand!
Under everyone's eyes, led by Lu Guodong, the group came over. What surprised many people was that Lu Guodong actually took a few steps forward and enthusiastically shook hands with Yang Fan.
"Comrade Yang Fan, welcome, welcome!"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Director Lu, you're so polite."
The other leaders, without exception, shook hands with Yang Fan enthusiastically, which made the technicians, managers and workers beside them admire him.
He is worthy of being Mr. Yang’s assistant!
Several leaders of our factory shook hands with him one after another?
Awesome, awesome!
This face is really great.
The leaders of Donghai Factory are so enthusiastic and polite, and there is only one reason, that is, during the construction of the first ship, Yang Fan helped Donghai Factory solve many difficult problems and won the respect of the senior executives of the entire Donghai Factory.
Soon, it was 8:30 in the morning.
As the chief construction engineer of the 052 ship, Chen Shaohua has been paying attention to the time. He reminded: "Lao Lu, the time has come."
Lu Guodong raised his hand and looked at the time, but he saw that the time on his watch was exactly 8:30, almost every minute.

Chapter completed!
