A few days later.

Several leaders of the Navy sat together and were discussing the future new missile frigate. On the table, there were colorful pictures of the 054a missile frigate drawn by Yang Fan.

On the color picture, the details of 054a are clearly visible.

It has a very unique appearance in geometric sections.

Obviously, several leaders had already carefully read this color picture, and they were all a little moved and then started chatting.

"This is drawn by a comrade from the East China Sea Ship Design Institute. It is said to be the appearance of a new missile frigate in his mind. The unique geometric section shows that it has stealth performance, phase-based radar, and missile vertical launch system. These all indicate that this is a missile frigate with excellent performance."

Another leader agreed: "Yes, it must be very outstanding. In comparison, our current Type 053 frigate does seem a little behind."

Everyone agrees with this.

As the leader of the navy, he certainly has a very good understanding of the Type 053 missile frigate. This is just the first-generation missile frigate. Compared with the second-generation missile frigate currently launched by advanced Western countries, the performance gap is very large and there is a significant generation difference.

One of the naval leaders said: "The development of our Type 052 missile destroyer is progressing smoothly. The first ship has begun navigation tests, and the No. 2 ship has also started construction at the East China Sea shipyard. Can we start feasibility study of the new generation of missile frigates?"

this......

Several other leaders seemed a little hesitant, and some said with concern: "According to the picture in this picture, the new generation of missile frigates requires phase-based radar and missile vertical launch system, but we don't have these things. It is very technically difficult to develop such missile frigates."

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Yes, the technical difficulty is too great.

Several leaders were silent. They were very clear about the situation in China and knew that it might be too early to launch a new missile frigate.

A leader broke this silence and reminded: "When we first conducted a feasibility demonstration of the Type 052 missile destroyer, the situation was similar to that now. We didn't have many things, and we finally developed them successfully. Our first ship had already begun navigation tests."

a long time.

One of the leaders said: "We must design and develop the new generation of missile frigates. Let's do some work in advance to lay the foundation for the future design and development of this missile frigate. Active phase array radar and missile vertical launch system. We can start project development. After specific conditions, we will start the feasibility demonstration of the new generation of missile frigates."

"I think it's OK."

"I agree."

Several other leaders agreed to first carry out project development and lay the foundation for the future.

A leader even said: "Phase-array control radar and missile vertical launch system, these things will be used in the future. Now we start investing, and I think it is feasible."

Several leaders quickly unify their opinions.

First, drive the development and development of radar and weapon systems to lay the foundation for the future, and these things are exactly what the 052 ship needs.

.........

East China Sea Ship Design Institute.

Of course, Yang Fan didn't know that the color picture he drew was with the naval leaders, and the navy was preparing to establish research on radars and weapons systems such as active phase array radars, missile vertical launch systems, etc.

These days, Yang Fan is mainly focusing on two things. One is the navigation test of the first ship, and the other is the construction of the No. 2 ship.

A few days ago, the first ship conducted the "mainboard navigation test" during the navigation test, which was relatively smooth. The 052 ship had returned to the East China Sea Shipyard and was still docked at the edge of the dock.

Host navigation tests mainly include host balancing tests, host load tests, host performance tests, etc. These tests are completed one by one.

In another ten days, the first ship will start sailing tests again, and it is a very critical speed test. According to the design parameters, the maximum speed of ship 052 can reach 32 knots.

After detailed calculations, the East China Sea ship design found that it is possible in theory, but can it actually reach 32 sections?

This requires a speed test.

This is related to the main performance of the 052 ship and is a very critical navigation test. As the design unit, the Donghai Station and the Donghai Shipyard, the construction unit, will send people to participate.

More than ten days passed by.

Today is the day when the first ship was conducting its first speed test. Early in the morning, Yang Fan took Li Zhengjun, deputy director of the power system design office, Han Jiang and a senior technician Li Ximing, and four of them set off from the Donghai Station early and headed to the Donghai Shipyard.

Without a small car from the unit, Yang Fan habitually drove his own big off-road vehicle. The traffic along the way was good. After 30 or 40 minutes, it was close to the Donghai Shipyard.

Han Jiang sat in the passenger seat, "Brother Fan, your car is so comfortable to sit, much better than the jeeps inside our site."

In terms of comfort and driving, this car is of course much stronger.

While driving, Yang Fan smiled and said, "If you have the chance, let's find a place without a car and practice it for you a few. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Han Jiang was overjoyed, "Really, that's all."

He has applied for a driver's license and is practicing driving, and he is very addicted to this.

Li Zhengjun and Li Ximing, who were sitting in the back seat, said in their hearts that Han Jiang and General Manager Yang had a good relationship, and this relationship was enviable.

Along the way, everyone also talked about the speed test that was about to begin. As the deputy director of the power system, Li Zhengjun was still a little worried.

Then, he said: "Our maximum designed speed is 32 knots. I wonder if it can reach this speed. If it cannot be achieved, how will the power system be adjusted?"

Seeing him say this, Han Jiang and Li Ximing were also a little worried.

Han Jiang asked: "Brother Fan, if we really can't reach the maximum speed of 32 knots, do we really need to adjust the power system?"

Yang Fan smiled and said confidently: "We use a very advanced combined power system with a maximum speed of 32 knots. I don't think there is any problem."

No one knows better than Yang Fan's power system.

The current displacement of 052 is less than 5,000 tons, and there is definitely no problem reaching a speed of 32 knots. Yang Fan is full of confidence in this regard.

In the future, the 052 ship will continue to develop, with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons and a speed of more than 32 knots. There will be no problem now.

Of course, the power system was also improved at that time, especially the power of the gas turbine was increased. Despite this, there should be no problem with the displacement of less than 5,000 tons and the maximum speed exceeding 32 knots.

The off-road vehicle quickly reached the dockside.

After parked the car, a group of four boarded the 052 ship. Soon, Yang Fan met Chen Shaohua, Zheng Xianxue and others on the ship.

The two sides met and exchanged polite greetings. Then, Chen Shaohua said: "Comrade Yang Fan, let me introduce you to you. This is Comrade Lu Mingfa, the head of the military navigation test, and the temporary captain of the first ship."

This was a naval colonel in his forties, with a slightly dark skin and a very strong and determined look. He walked over a few steps and saluted a military salute.

"Comrade Yang Fan, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I finally saw you myself today."

Yang Fan returned a military salute and said with a smile: "Col. Lu is so polite."

Han Jiang next to him looked at Yang Fan in admiration and thought to himself, "I am worthy of being Brother Fan, I am so awesome."

He is a naval colonel, and he can actually talk and laugh.

If it were me, I would have been a little nervous.

Li Zhengjun said in his heart that General Manager Yang is so famous that everyone in the Navy has heard of his name.

Yang Fan's face was calm. After chatting with Lu Mingfa for a few words, he asked: "When can we set sail and start the experiment?"

Lu Mingfa said: "The displacement will be measured soon, and then we can start sailing."

After a while, the displacement measurement was completed and recorded as experimental data. After a whistle, the 052 ship left the dock of the Donghai Shipyard.

Seeing that the ship had started, a naval captain next to him said, "Our ship 052 has a maximum designed speed of 32 knots. Can it really reach such a high speed?"

"I'm looking lingering enough."

"I can't reach 32 knots and the maximum speed can reach 30 knots. I think it's very satisfying."

“…”

These words not only floated into Yang Fan's ears, but also into Lu Mingfa's ears. He once served as the captain of the Type 051 missile destroyer and the captain of the Type 053 missile frigate. He was too clear about the importance of speed.

Of course, he is also very familiar with the speed of ships 051 and 053. He heard that the speed of ship 052 can reach up to 32 knots, so he is a little skeptical.

In theory, it is one thing. The maximum speed of design is 32 knots, but in reality it may be another thing. Experience tells him that if the maximum speed of design is 32 knots, the actual maximum speed may be only 30 knots.

Seeing his comrades discussing this, Lu Mingfa also asked, "Assistant General Yang, can the maximum actual speed of our 052 ship reach 32 knots?"

Yang Fan answered confidently: "It should be possible, and I even think it will exceed 32 sections."

What!

This is impossible.

In addition to being surprised, Lu Mingfa reminded: "I am talking about the maximum actual speed, not the maximum designed speed."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "What I am talking about is the maximum actual speed. It should be no problem if it exceeds 32 knots."

Not only Lu Mingfa, but the people next to him could hear it clearly, especially those from the navy, who all showed disbelief.

The naval captain just now said loudly: "Impossible, that's the actual speed of 32 knots."

Yang Fan smiled confidently and said with great confidence: "I said yes, it's OK, and the actual maximum speed reaches or even exceeds 32 knots, there is no problem."

Really?

Can it really reach the 32nd quarter?

Lu Mingfa gradually became eager, hoping to reach the test sea area earlier and test how much the maximum speed can be reached.
