Mingzhou Shipyard.

The recent launch ceremonies are very intensive, which also represents the further development of Mingzhou Group's shipbuilding technology. The technology is becoming more and more mature and the shipbuilding cycle is getting shorter and shorter.

At the beginning, the Navy's 002 aircraft carrier was launched with great fanfare. In comparison, the launch of the Aegis battleship seemed to be less eye-catching. After all, four 052Cs have been launched, and everyone is no longer as interested in the Aegis battleship as they were at first.

Looking forward to it.

However, if you look closely, you can find that this Aegis battleship is very different from previous Aegis battleships.

The hull appears to be wider and the launch silo appears to be larger.

In the front of the ship, you can see that the launch silo cover has been installed in place. Unlike the previous launcher, which was like honeycomb briquettes, its launch silo cover has become a square, and the side length is larger!

Launching devices that look like honeycomb briquettes waste space and appear to occupy a larger area. In fact, there are not many launching devices.

Now, there are 32 launch devices in the front, but the square launch silos seem to be arranged more closely, every eight groups, a total of four groups, each group is composed of two rows of four, with a thermal emission exhaust duct in the middle

, looks very compact.

A rough estimate shows that the side length of these squares is close to one meter, and the diameter of the missiles that can be accommodated inside them will be larger, which seems to far exceed the needs of the Red Flag Nine. If actually measured with a ruler, it is exactly 850 millimeters.

This is the new generation of vertical hair of the Navy, and it is also the biggest difference between 052D and 052C!

There is a 32-unit vertical launcher at the front and a 32-unit vertical launcher at the back. The number of launchers carried by the entire warship has reached 64. Compared with the previous 48-unit 052C, this is a huge improvement!

Moreover, the number of missiles it can carry is not only measured by the number of launchers, because its launch unit is large enough to carry two bombs in one pit, or four bombs in one pit. Different missiles can be selected according to needs.

The flexibility has been greatly improved.

Just this vertical hair device is very impressive. If you look up at the bridge, you can find that the position of the four-sided phased array radar has also changed a lot.

It has not yet installed a radar, but only has a cover installed on the outside. This can prevent all kinds of wind and rain from getting dirty inside during the construction process. This cover is different from the previous arc mask, it is flat.

.

Of course, since it has been installed on the 002 aircraft carrier, it can be confirmed that this phased array radar is the same as the one on the 002. It uses advanced liquid cooling technology and does not require an arc-shaped air-cooled radome. Moreover,

If you measure it, you can find that its size is larger than the previous air-cooled radar.

It used to be 3.5 meters * 3.5 meters, but now it is 4 meters * 4 meters. The expansion of the size means that the number of T/R components it carries increases, which means that its performance will undergo greater changes: the detection range is longer

, more targets can be tracked and attacked at the same time!

The other changes are quite small. This is of course because it has not yet been outfitted. After outfitting, you will find that the meter-wave search radar behind will also undergo great changes, from the former 517B to the current 517C.

The radar antenna was changed from a clothes drying rack to a fly swatter, which would not be discovered until after the outfitting.

Now, the hull has been manufactured and is waiting for its launch.

The naval leaders stood at the front of the warship and stopped to watch. Wu Shengli came to the microphone and began to speak.

"A few months ago, we held the launching ceremony of the 002 aircraft carrier here, and now we have the launching ceremony of the 052D! This is a great era. The era of violence for our navy has finally come. We have endured too much.

For a long time, now, the motherland is calling us to have strong maritime power! We have launched four 052Cs. The launch of this 052D means that the number of our Aegis warships has reached five. This is just the beginning. In the future, we will

Have more Aegis ships!"

"Today, after the launch of the 052D, we will continue the groundbreaking ceremony of the 052DL. The slipway here will be busy again, launching our new generation of Aegis warships. Its design is more reasonable, its technology is more advanced, and its technology is more advanced.

Adapt to the needs of our Navy!"

"I think back then, when our navy faced the American Aegis battleships, we were extremely envious, but we could only envy that when our 112th ship was launched, this most advanced destroyer in our country was 20 years behind the world's advanced level.

, Now, we have finally caught up. Our warships have reached the most advanced level in the world, even surpassing Aegis! The current Aegis is just a passive phased array, which is an era behind our active phased array.

Our vertical launch unit has also been changed to a hot and cold co-rack, which is more advanced than Aegis!"

The adjutant on the side quietly reminded: "Leader Wu, you are off topic!"

These are mentioned at the groundbreaking ceremony later. Why are you talking about these now?

Wu Shengli came back to his senses. Yes, he had digressed because he was so excited that he was recalling the past and imagining the future without realizing it.

"After careful study by the Navy, the 052D destroyer that is about to be launched is named Kun*, with hull number 172! Now, let us watch it launch!"

Wu Shengli pressed the button and the ceremony of smashing the wine bottle began. Amidst the splashing champagne foam, the destroyer named No. 172 slowly launched into the water. When it entered the water, it made a huge splash and everyone applauded.

The fifth Aegis battleship was launched! This Aegis battleship has more advanced performance and represents the highest level of shipbuilding in the East and even the world!

Of course, in terms of advanced technology, the Yankees' DDG-1000 is indeed more advanced than our own, but those warships have not yet been built. They are different from our own warships that have already been launched. They cannot be compared. We can also do some PPT projects.

, higher than DDG1000.

The tugboat began to tow 052D to the outfitting dock. Everyone did not leave. Wu Shengli remained on the original podium and continued to speak.

"Next, we will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the 052DL. After trying four 052Cs and one 052D, the performance of our destroyers has continued to improve, and we have developed to the 052DL. Our destroyer technology has been developed and perfected. Next, the Navy will manufacture a large number of these destroyers.

The total number of battleships built will exceed 15, fully replacing our existing 051 destroyers!"

Below, Qin Tao smiled, Dad, can't you be more courageous? Are 15 ships enough for us? At least 60! We want to sail freely around the world, but what if we don't have enough numbers? The British built 45

Model, they brag about it every day, but in fact the number is only in single digits. With this quantity, do you still want to have freedom of navigation everywhere? It’s less than a fraction of our own.

But now, of course, Qin Tao can't expose his father-in-law's low vision to his face. After all, no one dares to make such bold speculations at this time. It would be good to replace the old 051 with a one-to-one comparison.

"Our main warships have ushered in an era of large-scale upgrading, and we will continue to build more advanced warships to protect the maritime rights and interests of our motherland!"

Of course Wu Shengli was talking about the 055. This 10,000-ton cruiser is the most valued by the navy and is a warship that can only be owned by the strongest navy. In the navy's equipment sequence, the 10,000-ton cruiser is indeed the navy's sharpest knife. However,

, to say that the backbone of the equipment is still 052DL.

After all, the construction of the 055 large drive is expensive and the equipment quantity is limited. The Navy stopped construction after building a batch, but the 052DL has been under construction. The number is constantly refreshing the upper limit. There is no maximum, only more.

Of course, this may also be because the Navy feels that the displacement of the 055's 10,000-ton large drive is still a bit small, and the 112 launch units are not enough, so it plans to continue to hold back the big move.

A round of applause from below.

Develop 052DL in an all-round way to replace the old 051! Navy warships will also enter the era of comprehensive Aegis.

Everyone is very excited.

"Now, I announce that 052DL has officially started construction!"

The familiar cutting of steel plates, bending and forming, and then welding, amidst the sparks of the arc, the construction of 052DL officially started. This warship will create a new miracle. Multiple shipyards across the country have started construction, and the spectacular scene of building more than a dozen ships at the same time,

Even in a single shipyard, five ships were built at the same time, which makes people sigh at how quickly Oriental warships are produced.

After the ceremony, everyone came to the outfitting dock, intending to take a look at the 052D being outfitted. However, when they saw the 002 aircraft carrier on the side, everyone unconsciously walked towards the 002 aircraft carrier. Compared with the small destroyer,

, they still prefer the big guy.

The 002 aircraft carrier is still being outfitted.

Although the catapult on the deck has been installed, the work shed has not been dismantled. This will not be dismantled until the final sea trial. There is no need for people there now, so the door of the work shed has been closed. After everyone got on the aircraft carrier deck,

First, we went to the work shed and saw General Tie locking the door. Then he turned around and left with some helplessness, and then went to see the ship island.

Scaffolding was set up on the island, and various external equipment was being installed. It was inconvenient for them to visit, which would affect the progress. It was only now that they looked at their feet. Various lines had been drawn on the deck itself, and they took off.

Lines, landing lines on the angled deck, parking bays, etc. Looking at these lines, everyone is yearning for the spectacular scene of this aircraft carrier entering service.

Behind the angled deck, the blocking device has been installed. Looking at the thick blocking ropes, everyone became interested again.

Not long ago, when Ah San was testing a carrier-based aircraft, he broke the blocking cable and broke the legs of many people. However, our own blocking cable has always been stable and reliable.

As they walked over, they felt some movement under their feet.

"Is there anyone doing construction down there?"

"They should be debugging the blocking cable. After all, this is an electromagnetic blocking cable and requires the most advanced technology." Qin Tao said.

"Okay, let's go down and have a look." The big guy became interested.

Ma Gong and his team have completed the installation and debugging of the catapult, and are just waiting for the final sea test. Since they have completed a full set of tests on land, they are full of confidence. The next hard nut to crack is this electromagnetic interception

So.

"Compared with ejection, the recovery of carrier-based aircraft is more complicated." The guys discussed as they walked: "If there is a problem with the recovery device, the carrier-based aircraft will not be able to land on the aircraft carrier, which will cause heavy losses."

"Yes, although the existing hydraulic arresting landing technology has matured, it faces many problems. The structure is complex, the efficiency is low, and the blocking strength cannot be adjusted. In the future, if you want to fly a drone, the hydraulic blocking cable will be too strong.

It’s big and easy to break.”

"However, the reliability of electromagnetic ejection must be ensured. If a sudden malfunction occurs when the carrier-based aircraft is landing and cannot provide high enough resistance, the electromagnetic arresting cable will fail and the carrier-based aircraft will fall into the sea."

"Our electromagnetic blocking device is being tested over there in Wasteland Village. We have conducted more than a thousand blocking experiments with a 100% success rate." While speaking, everyone had already walked below the deck to the position of the electromagnetic blocking cable and heard

Ma Ming immediately spoke out about the leader's concerns.

"Makers, thank you for your hard work. How is the installation of this electromagnetic blocking device going?" Wu Shengli greeted him and looked at those huge devices.

The blocking device is on the deck. All you see is a rope and two pulleys, but there are many devices below the deck.

The arresting cable will catch the carrier-based aircraft and provide deceleration force to stop the carrier-based aircraft, but where does this deceleration force come from? Of course it is the complex device below the deck.

In the previous technical solution, what blocked the cable was a hydraulic cylinder, and then the hydraulic cylinder accelerated and decelerated the force. Through the combination of various pulleys and many cylinders, the decelerating force of the carrier-based aircraft was unloaded, and the huge kinetic energy

The heat becomes the hydraulic oil and is dissipated into the air.

In this process, all energy is consumed.

This is not the case with electromagnetic arresting cables, which can utilize the landing energy of carrier-based aircraft.

"The blocking cable is connected to our conical flywheel. After the blocking cable is stretched, the tapered flywheel will be pulled to rotate. The reason why the tapered flywheel is used is to ensure that the resistance is as uniform as possible and allow the carrier-based aircraft to land.
