If we dismantle it and replace it with a boiler, it should be more suitable for us."

"Boilers? Apart from aircraft carriers, where else can there be boilers?" Qin Tao said, "Nicholas, you should have heard that we have developed a 40-megawatt gas turbine, right?"

Nicholas nodded: "That's right."

"If the Kirov-class cruiser is given to us for renovation, we can remove the unreliable nuclear power system inside and replace it with our gas turbines. Just two of them can output more than 100,000 horsepower, which is completely

It can meet the needs of the cruiser. It is usually paired with two diesel engines to form an alternating diesel engine. We can even use all-electric drive. Only when the problem of heart disease is solved can the Kirov-class cruiser be able to fulfill its needs.

Some fighting ability."

Replacing engines on a warship is not a trivial matter, especially when replacing a nuclear-powered warship with a gas turbine. The intake and exhaust are a big problem. However, if you want to use all-electric propulsion, there will be no problem. The gas turbine is placed directly under the bridge chimney.

Of course, this is definitely a big project.

Since Nicholas has this idea, Qin Tao has to provide the most appropriate way. After all, Nicholas is his good friend.

After some deception by Qin Tao, Nikola's idea finally shifted from upgrading the air defense system to upgrading the engine!

Wu Shengli watched the excitement from the side, watching how Qin Tao deceived Nicholas step by step.

The combined nuclear power and conventional power of the Kirov-class cruiser have a total output of 140,000 horsepower, which can allow this beast with a displacement of 25,000 tons to soar at a speed of 32 knots. Now it is replaced by two gas turbines.

The maximum output power is 108,000 horsepower. Although it cannot reach the speed of 32 knots, 30 knots is still no problem. (I don’t know if the calculation is correct. Two 40-megawatt gas turbines can allow the British 65,000-ton aircraft carrier to reach the speed of 32 knots.

With a speed of 26 knots, it should be possible for a 25,000-ton warship to reach 30 knots.)

For a warship, the speed of 30 knots is already up to standard. The key is that the power system will be more reliable. This gas turbine power system is much more reliable than the Kirov-class nuclear power system. Take a look at the existing ones of Lao Maozi.

Just look at the status of the Kilo-class ship. The nuclear power system is a scam.

Even if Lao Maozi still requires modification by himself, then he can still sell gas turbines!

The 40-megawatt gas turbine is only owned by our own side, and it was jointly developed with Ermao. Lao Maozi should rest assured.

Nikolai thought about this power system seriously, and then nodded seriously: "Okay, Qin, I hope you can come up with a detailed plan, and when the frigate design bidding is held, give this plan to us. Next,

Let’s talk about the configuration of the weapon system.”

Nicholas came here originally intending to discuss the weapon system. Although he was deceived about the power system, his focus has not changed.

At this time, hearing Nikolai say this, Qin Tao thought for a while: "Nicholas, if we talk about the weapon system, we plan to use a four-sided phased array radar on the frigate. We can transplant this system to the base

On the Love level."

Dongfang's transformation of the Glorious Class was successful. It involved the hard work of many people, including Zhao Ling. Of course, Qin Tao would not let these efforts go abroad. However, the upgrade and transformation of the Kirov Class was also completely

Other solutions are available.

Such a large warship does not even have a four-sided phased array radar, which is really too backward.

In fact, after Lao Maozi's frigates, there is an improved version M, which is based on the former and enlarges the displacement to more than 8,000 tons. Thanks to the credit of Lao Maozi ppt, the number of missiles carried has increased several times, becoming

The most awesome destroyer, the radar system on it is also a modified version of the frigate.

Now, if we want to transform the Kirov class, wouldn't it be faster to directly use the radar system of the frigate under development?

Nikolai thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "The search range of the radar system on the frigate is too close to meet the needs of the Type 1144 cruiser."

The frigate has a small displacement and carries a small number of missiles. It even only needs medium-range air defense. If it puts S-300, it really can't put a few missiles, and the launcher they share has not been developed.

However, the Kirov-class has a large displacement and uses many weapons. There are nearly a hundred long-range air defense missiles such as S-300. Is it possible to use the frigate's radar system?

"Nicholas, you probably don't know enough about active phased array radar. The biggest feature of this radar system is that it can increase the transmission power by increasing the number of t/r components, thereby increasing the search distance. If

On the Kirov-class, the search range can be doubled. Are you worried that it is not enough? The advantages brought by the four-sided phased array radar are obvious, and the omnidirectional air defense and anti-saturation capabilities will be stronger."

Nicholas did not know much about these advanced technologies. In the past few years, his main business line has been interpersonal relationships. When he heard Qin Tao's words, he thought about it seriously and then nodded: "Qin, your proposal

Yes, we need to go back and negotiate with Fazolong to see how it works with their system. If it is feasible, it means that our entire system can be transplanted from the frigate."

"Of course." Qin Tao nodded: "This method is the safest."

While talking, everyone had already walked around the warship. Nicholas finally came to the bridge and looked at the combat command structure composed of modern display screens with envy in his eyes. He knew that Dongfang was very good at electronic systems.

It is very advanced, but at the same time, he also knows that it is difficult for Damao to reach this level for the time being. If it is purchased from the East, it may not be compatible with the previous system. Therefore, these can only be achieved by relying on domestic technological development.

The day's visit ended like this. In the evening, Qin Tao held a banquet at the Mingzhou Group Guest House to entertain Lao Maozi and his party. The navy accompanied them. The entertainment expenses were saved and they could eat good food.

Looking out from the huge bay window here, you can see the busy scene inside the Mingzhou Shipyard, especially the huge warship under construction in the dock.

"Over the years, the development of the East has been so fast. Our Navy's aircraft carriers have just been equipped with carrier-based aircraft. They have not yet completed a full set of training. You have already started building the second aircraft carrier." Nikolai said with emotion.

"If you want to have a strong national defense, you still need a strong motherland. Only when the economic level is reached, military development will naturally be on the fast track." Qin Tao said: "Nicholas, our Mingzhou Group is willing to develop with you.

More cooperative relationships, through cooperation to develop your economy, so that you have more funds."

Nicholas nodded: "Yes, Qin, you have helped us a lot. Whether our navy can obtain more warships depends on you. Do we have more areas of cooperation?"

Over the years, Mingzhou Group and Da Mao have mainly cooperated in the energy field, importing large amounts of oil and natural gas. Mingzhou Group has also helped open up the Arctic route, allowing Lao Maozi to play an increasingly important role in the world economy. However, these

Apparently it's not enough.

If Damao wants to develop its economy, it needs more cooperation projects.

Qin Tao thought for a while: "Of course, there is a lot of timber in your Far East. How about we work together to develop the timber business?"

As the shackles of environmental protection become tighter and tighter, you don’t have the right to cut down the trees you plant. However, the situation is different for foreign trees. Imported wood can be used at will without any restrictions. Therefore, in later generations, many furniture

The wood used is larch and the like. This is because trees imported from abroad are cheaper than those used by oneself.

Although Mingzhou Group does not produce furniture now, it can help domestic furniture factories import wood.
