Chapter 386 The need for double slipway
What!
Is there a problem with building a ship platform? Sun Baoguo looked at Yang Fan in confusion with surprise.
He said anxiously: "Chief Yang, is there any problem with this boat platform?"
Yang Fan nodded: "It does have a little problem. For the Type 054 missile frigate, the best thing is to build the ship platform horizontally, and this front desk is tilted."
It also has its advantages when building a ship platform incline, that is, it is easy to launch the water after the ship is built, because it is inclined and can be launched with the help of the gravity of the ship.
But precisely because it is inclined, the ship is also inclined during construction, which does not have much problem with ships with low construction accuracy.
However, the 054 ship has high requirements and high construction accuracy, especially the installation requirements of many equipment with angles, and the tilting platform is obviously not the best.
In this case, a horizontal boat platform is undoubtedly the most suitable, which greatly reduces the difficulty of installing these equipment. If the boat platform is inclined, the difficulty of installing the equipment will naturally increase.
After listening to Yang Fan explaining the reason, Sun Baoguo understood what was going on.
He seemed a little helpless and explained: "Our Dongjiang Shipyard also has a horizontal construction platform, but for the tonnage of the 054 ship, it seems a little smaller, and the first ship can only be built on this tilted front desk.
Of course, there is no problem in building this inclined boat platform. It is just that the construction difficulty has been invisibly increased, and the corresponding construction period may also increase. Yang Fan gave an appropriate reminder.
Yangfan suggested: "It seems that the first ship can only be built on this inclined platform, but for the long term, I suggest you build a horizontal platform suitable for the construction of the 054 ship."
Sun Baoguo Highway: "We actually have plans to build large horizontal ship platforms. However, before it can be implemented, the first ship of 054 will start to be built. Everything is too late. For the time being, we can only use this inclined ship platform. The subsequent ships will definitely be carried out on the horizontal ship platform."
Yang Fan was relieved to use horizontal ship platform for future ship construction.
Accompanied by Sun Baoguo, I took a serious look at this tilted boat platform.
In fact, I have visited it several times before and made some suggestions. In addition to its certain inclination angle, there is no big problem in building the first ship of the 054 here.
After looking around, Sun Baoguo said modestly: "Chief Yang, what other aspects of transformation will be carried out for our ship platform?"
All those that need to be renovated have been renovated. In Yang Fan's view, the ship platform has basically been finalized and there is no need to continue renovating.
Yang Fan said: "There is no need to undergo any transformation for the time being. After the first ship is built, I suggest you transform this inclined ship platform into a horizontal ship platform."
This is a major project that requires a certain period of time. It is definitely too late before the first ship of the 054 starts construction, so you can only wait for the first ship to be completed.
At the same time, Yang Fan suggested that if Dongjiang Shipyard wants to become a professional frigate production cradle, it is not enough to have only one horizontal ship platform, at least two horizontal ship platforms.
Double-level boat platform.
Sun Baoguo's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked with a little excitement: "Chief Yang, do we need two horizontal boat platforms in our factory?"
Yang Fan replied affirmatively: "It is absolutely necessary to use two horizontal ships. The military will have a lot of demand for the Type 054 missile frigate in the future."
"Maybe in a few years, the number of construction will increase significantly. I even predict that the dumpling mode may be launched in the future, and several Type 054 missile frigates will be built every year."
Oh my god.
Dumpling mode!
Sun Baoguo, who was originally a little excited, could not suppress his mood at this moment, and his expression on his face was completely different.
He said in an almost unbelievable tone: "Will so many Type 054 missile frigates be built in the future?"
No one knows better about future development than Yang Fan. He said with great certainty: "Our economic development is getting faster and faster. In the future, we have economic interests all over the world. This requires us to have enough military force to protect it. The military's demand for Type 054 missile frigate is definitely huge."
The demand for Type 054 missile frigates is definitely above Type 052 missile destroyers.
There are two main factors. First, the tasks that the Type 052 missile destroyer can complete, and the Type 054 missile frigate can basically be competent.
Secondly, the construction cost of the Type 054 missile frigate is much cheaper and has much higher cost performance. The military will definitely focus on the construction of the Type 054 missile frigate in the future.
After listening to Yang Fan's reasons, Sun Baoguo's heart was even more excited.
He was full of ambitions and was ready to do a big battle, and he must build the Dongjiang Shipyard into the cradle of frigates.
That means that the double-ship platform is essential. In a few years, the three-ship platform may be needed. He made a decision in front of Yang Fan.
"Chief Yang, we will start the construction of a new horizontal ship platform as soon as possible. After the first ship is built, this inclined ship platform will also be transformed into a horizontal ship platform. In the future, we will definitely be in a double ship platform model."
Double boat platform!
Of course, Yang Fan is very willing to see this. He knew that in the future, the number of Type 054 missile frigates will be built in large quantities, and at least two horizontal ships will need to meet the construction requirements.
The two watched the boat stand for a long time, and then went to his office at Sun Baoguo's invitation to take a break. While drinking tea, they chatted about the construction of the first ship for a while.
However, when talking about the welding technical difficulties he is currently facing, Sun Baoguo's mood suddenly became a little lower. It can be seen that he is still very worried about the welding problems he is facing.
He even said a little disappointedly: "Chief Yang, let's not hide it. We originally planned to start welding of the formal steel plate next Monday and then start welding manufacturing in part in sections."
Now it seems that the delay may be required, and the welding of the formal steel plate must be completed before the welding of the welding specimens can be started.
To be honest, he has no idea when the test piece will be welded.
However, with my understanding of Yang Fan, I knew that Chief Designer Yang generally did not do things that he was not sure about. Since it proposed to focus on adjusting welding parameters, it would definitely make sense.
Sun Baoguo has strong confidence in this and hopes that he can successfully solve the welding problem in a few days.
Yang Fan encouraged: "The focus is on adjusting welding parameters. There is definitely no problem in this direction. The key is to persist. In a few days, I think it will definitely succeed."
After staying in Dongjiang Shipyard for almost a day. In addition to watching the welding of several welding specimens in person, Yang Fan also visited Dongjiang Shipyard again.
I feel very relieved about their hardware facilities. A few years ago, they carried out a series of technical transformations and upgrades under the suggestion of Yang Fan.
The construction of the 054 ship should be without problems. Their hardware conditions completely meet the requirements. If the only thing that is not ideal is the tilting ship platform.
The most ideal thing to build the 054 ship is the horizontal ship platform, because the 054 missile frigate has high accuracy and high requirements in all aspects, making it more convenient to build on the horizontal ship platform.
Leaving Dongjiang Shipyard, Yang Fan returned to the Donghai Ship Design Institute. Although he was still busy with the design improvement and improvement of the Type 054 missile frigate, if he would urge the design room below to improve and rectify some design problems found during the construction process, he still closely monitored the progress of welding in the Dongjiang Shipyard.
He would talk to Sun Baoguo almost every day. Either Yang Fan called in person or Sun Baoguo called to report. Whether in the morning or afternoon, both of them would talk at least once or twice.
Although Yang Fan has not gone to Dongjiang Shipyard again in the past two days, he is still quite familiar with the progress of welding there.
I suggested that the focus was on adjusting the welding parameters, and practice proved that there was no problem. After welding dozens of test pieces and dozens of welding parameters, the welding situation has improved a lot.
Sun Baoguo just called over and told Yang Fan happily that not long ago, they welded a test piece according to the new welding parameters and were almost qualified.
Just a small, very inconspicuous microcrack appeared in the weld.
A few days ago, microcracks in the weld were very common, and there were usually several places, which seriously affected the welding strength.
………
Dongjiang Shipyard, welding workshop.
The welding experiment is going on, whether it is in the morning or in the afternoon.
Wu Mingze and the other two from Donghai Shipyard have gone back. Those who stayed at the welding site were Zhang Yi and several experienced welding workers. In addition, there were welding technicians from Dongjiang Shipyard, including supervisor-level technicians and senior welding technicians.
When they saw hope, their faces looked much better and the pressure seemed to be less.
According to the situation of the previous welding specimen, several technicians discussed it and corrected the welding parameters.
According to the new welding parameters, Zhang Yi personally welded another test piece.
Taking advantage of the welding time, several welding technicians were discussing.
"This seems to be the 31st time that the welding parameters have been adjusted. There are at least 40 or 50 test pieces we have welded these days."
"This is not the thirty-first time, but the thirty-second time. I have records here."
"The welding parameters have been adjusted for the 32nd time. Before I knew it, a few days have passed. I hope it will succeed as soon as possible."
"I think it should be soon, and I suddenly had this premonition."
“…”
The technicians were talking with hope that Zhang Yi had finished welding the welding specimen.
Everyone gathered around, and many people still nodded in admiration. Master Zhang's craftsmanship is really nothing to say, and the welded seams are still so beautiful.
The technician in charge of welding also looked at the very beautiful weld and said loudly: "We will check it ourselves first, and then follow the old rules and immediately send it to the welding laboratory for filming and inspection."
As soon as the sound fell, everyone became busy, and several technicians checked the welds together.
