Chapter 439 Main gun installation
Yang Fan was indeed walking towards this side.
Sun Baoguo quickly greeted him enthusiastically and shook his hands tightly, "It's coming so fast, I thought it would take at least one or twenty minutes."
Yang Fan said: "The road is unobstructed and I came here soon. Besides, I want to check the installation of the phase array radar and drive a little faster."
After saying that, he looked at the phase array radar in the hoisting.
Sun Baoguo introduced: "The first radar front has been hoisted, and the second one will be hoisted soon..."
While listening to the introduction, Yang Fan nodded gently. The phase-based radar was the clairvoyance of the Type 054 missile frigate.
With it, the overall performance of the 054 ship has risen sharply.
This has been fully reflected on the Type 052 missile destroyer. With the phase-based radar, the technical and tactical level has been greatly improved, especially the long-range alert and regional air defense capabilities. In addition, the modified 052 also has a missile vertical launch system and the 730 close-defense gun, its performance is no longer comparable.
Sun Baoguo said happily: "The scientific researchers at the Institute of XX are really amazing. They have designed and developed such advanced and excellent radars."
Upon hearing this, Yang Fan smiled proudly.
The successful development of phased array radar is due to Yang Fan's contribution. At the beginning of the development, Yang Fan made many good suggestions.
Even their chief engineer came to ask for advice. Yang Fan had communicated with him many times and gave many very good suggestions.
But Yang Fan is low-key and has never shown off. Few people know about it.
"Let's go, let's board the ship and go up and take a look."
Accompanied by Sun Baoguo and others, Yang Fan once again boarded the 054 ship, stood on the deck, saw the lifting of the phase-array radar at close range, and walked to the bow deck to see the basically installed missile vertical launch system.
When his eyes fell on the pedestal of the main gun, Yang Fan asked with concern, "Mr. Sun, when are you going to start installing the main gun?"
Sun Baoguo was slightly puzzled. He didn't know why Yang Fan asked about the installation of the main gun, so he replied: "The day after tomorrow, that is, next Monday, we will start the installation of the main gun."
Yang Fan reminded: "The installation of the main gun is a technical job, and you must be fully prepared."
Sun Baoguo almost patted his chest and said, "There will be no problem. Our technicians have developed a complete set of installation processes. The spreader for lifting the main gun is specially designed and it has been manufactured."
Hearing this, Yang Fan nodded softly.
After thinking about it for a while, I still felt that it was necessary to further remind, "Mr. Sun, when the main gun of the Type 052 missile destroyer was lifted, a lot of things happened, which almost made the Donghai Shipyard in a mess. You must not take it lightly."
"ah!"
Everyone was slightly shocked, including Sun Baoguo.
As soon as he looked at his expression, Yang Fan knew that they must have no idea about the situation of the main gun of the Donghai Shipyard when the first ship of the 052 was built.
Looking back on what happened, Yang Fan was filled with emotion and sighing.
He said slowly: "At the beginning, this incident made the East China Sea shipyard very difficult..."
I briefly explained the situation at that time, and suddenly, Sun Baoguo and others' faces changed slightly. I didn't expect that it was so difficult, and the size of the main gun installation base would change with time. There was a strict window period for the main gun to hoist.
If it weren't for Yang Fan's reminder, they wouldn't know this at all.
Sun Baoguo said with gratitude: "Chief Master Yang, thank you for your reminder. It seems that we must re-formulate the lifting process of the main gun."
Yang Fan said: "It is best to communicate with the Donghai Shipyard to learn their successful experiences, and I wish you a successful lifting of the main gun."
If it is a horizontal boat, the lifting of the main gun is much less difficult. As long as you choose a window period suitable for lifting, you can generally successfully lift it quickly.
It's hard to say if the tilt boat platform is tilted.
At the beginning, the Donghai Shipyard was also an inclined boat platform. The main gun must be inclined when hoisting, and the angle must be consistent with the inclination angle of the boat platform. Otherwise, there will be such a situation where the lower part of the main gun will enter, and the upper part will not be able to enter, and it will be stuck.
Donghai Shipyard has experienced the installation of the main gun of the Type 052 missile destroyer. In Yang Fan's view, Dongjiang Shipyard can be completely referenced.
Sun Baoguo finally realized the difficulty of installing the main gun and immediately agreed: "Don't worry, we will sincerely ask the East China Shipyard for advice."
Seeing this, Yang Fan felt relieved and hoped that the main gun of the first ship of 054 was successfully installed.
After looking at the bow deck, Yang Fan walked into the command room and checked the installation of various equipment and instruments. Seeing that everything went well, Yang Fan was very satisfied.
In a few months, the ship will be fully painted and then be launched into the water to carry out a series of test work.
.........
Donghai Shipyard.
They are also very busy, especially in recent years. Two large horizontally built ships each have a Type 052b missile destroyer under construction.
The current 052b is very different from the historical 052b. It has a missile vertical launch system, a phased array radar, and a 730 close-defense gun. It is actually closer to the historical 052c and is very different from the 052b.
Chen Shaohua's office welcomed a guest, Sun Baoguo, deputy general manager of Dongjiang Shipyard and chief construction engineer of the Type 054 missile frigate.
Sun Baoguodao: "Old Chen, you should give me some advice. You must tell us in detail about the installation key points of the main gun of the 052 ship."
Chen Shaohua laughed, "Old Sun, you are too polite and too modest. This is what you have learned from Comrade Yang Fan for a long time."
"Where, where, I'm here to ask for advice today. You are teachers and we are students." Sun Baoguo was still very modest.
According to Yang Fan's suggestion, Sun Baoguo brought a group of people to the Dongjiang Shipyard, because the main gun installation of the 052 ship and the main gun installation of the 054 ship have a lot in common, especially the main gun installation of the first ship of the 052 ship is that the Donghai Shipyard is also an inclined ship platform.
Chen Shaohua did not hide anything, and talked in detail about the installation of the main gun of the first ship of the 052 ship that year, and said with gratitude.
"Thanks to Comrade Yang Fan, otherwise, I wouldn't know how to solve this problem."
Full of emotion and gratitude!
Sun Xue was slightly surprised and thought to himself, Chief Secretary Yang was in his early twenties and was very young, so powerful that he could help solve such a difficult problem.
After chatting for a while, Chen Shaohua said, "You are here very coincidentally. We happened to have a main gun installation mission today. I'll take you to take a look."
"Really, that's great!"
Sun Baoguo was very happy and was so excited that he rubbed his hands straight. It would be better to come by a coincidence than to come by a good one.
Under Chen Shaohua's personal leadership, a large group of people went to one of the shipbuilding stations. There, a 052 ship had entered the weapon installation stage and was about to install the main gun.
Everyone boarded the ship one after another and stood on the bow deck. They immediately saw another 052 ship under construction not far away. It seemed that the total section had been closed.
Sun Baoguo was slightly excited and envious, and thought to himself, it would be great when we could start the construction of two 054 ships at the same time.
The installation of the main gun is ready to begin, but it has not been lifted yet.
Chen Shaohua introduced: "This is the installation base of the main gun. The interface is very precise. The interface and the horizontal plane are vertical. The main gun is installed by hoisting."
He reminded: "But remember, because the interface is very precise and the steel plate is relatively thin, it will be affected by temperature. You must choose a suitable window period and must be installed within this time period. After this time period has not been installed, you can only wait for tomorrow..."
In a very detailed introduction to the things that must be paid attention to when installing this main gun, the technicians at Dongjiang Shipyard, including Sun Baoguo, listened carefully.
He even reminded: "Not only do you have to listen, but you also need to write down everything Mr. Chen said, understand it carefully after you go back, and carefully ponder it."
So this scene happened.
A large group of people stood in the empty position on the deck of the ship. In front of it was the installation interface of the main gun. Chen Shaohua said seriously, while others took out their notebooks, listening carefully while recording carefully.
After saying this, Chen Shaohua said loudly: "It's time for the main gun to be hoisted. Let's all get a little bit aside and follow me to the command room, where you can clearly see the entire process of the main gun to be hoisted."
The group arrived at the command room again, and through the glass, the bow deck was fully visible. Not only could they see the installation location of the main gun, but they could also see the installed missile vertical launch device.
As time came, the main gun of the 052 ship began to be hoisted.
Under the guidance of the commander, the main gun was slowly lifted up and then lifted to the bow deck position, located above the main gun installation base.
Then, it aims at the installation base and slowly falls. When it approaches the installation position, it makes another fine adjustment.
In the end, it fell slightly on the mounting base, not bad at all.
After the inspection, the quality inspector and technician both looked lighter and someone came to report immediately, "Mr. Chen, the main gun was installed successfully."
Chen Shaohua said with satisfaction: "It's not bad, this time it was successful, you are becoming more and more skilled."
After receiving praise, the director showed a happy expression on his face.
Chen Shaohua said: "This is the installation process of the main gun. You all saw clearly just now. I think the installation of the main gun of the Type 054 missile frigate is basically the same."
"Um."
"We've basically understood."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
The people from Dongjiang Shipyard nodded and expressed their gratitude. They did see the process very clearly.
Chapter completed!
