Yang Jie was also a little surprised, after all, in the previous life, the navy paid more attention to aircraft carriers, and the construction of amphibious landing ships was not so great.

However, the fact that the military has directly requisitioned the two light aircraft carriers under construction by the Honghu Shipbuilding Group shows the urgency of the navy.

In addition, China now wants to increase the construction of islands in the South China Sea, and needs more large-scale cutter suction ships and these offshore engineering equipment, and Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company will also undertake the development of some of these offshore engineering equipment. ”

Zhang Haiping said.

Yang Jie nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Huaxing Technology Group Company will resolutely complete the tasks entrusted to us by the state." ”

In recent years, Eagle Sauce's energy has begun to shift to how to deal with rabbits, the most obvious is that the strength of the navy has begun to be transferred more to the Asian side, as a large number of warships have begun to be transferred here, frequently engaging in military exercises with neighboring countries, and the domestic navy is also directly under this huge military pressure.

At present, the number of warships of various types is greater than that of the domestic ones, and the tonnage and performance are also superior, and in order to ensure the safety of their own sea areas, the top level is now also determined to increase the construction of naval forces and the control of the surrounding sea areas.

The goal of the high-level is to surpass the Eagle Sauce at least in number within ten years, and the performance should not be weaker than the Eagle Sauce, and replace a large number of warships from the 80s to the 90s of the last century, that is to say, at least dozens of warships will be built in China every year within ten years.

Now the high-level wants to add a burden to the Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company, Yang Jie has not bargained, the task is coming, then do it well, anyway, building these warships is also a very profitable thing.

The next day, Yang Jie also attended the meeting in the building of the Central Military Commission, which was attended by experts and academicians from the Ship Design and Research Institute directly under the Shipbuilding Industry Group Corporation, and the Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company also came to the expert group.

The meeting was chaired by the Navy, and Shen Jianhong also attended the meeting, but he did not speak.

General Pu Zhengxiang, the person in charge of the Navy's armament department, was in charge of presiding over the meeting, and he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the main purpose of calling you here this time is to develop a large amphibious landing ship. ”

At this stage, the largest ship design companies in China are the Ship Design and Research Institute under the Shipbuilding Industry Group Corporation and the Ship Design Company under the Honghu Shipbuilding Group Corporation.

Moreover, the ship design company under Honghu Shipbuilding Group has a large number of R&D personnel in China, and has a large number of overseas R&D and design personnel through acquisition and technology introduction overseas, and many technical experts have rich experience in design and construction.

After a while, the staff also distributed the specific performance requirements and specifications of the large amphibious landing ship.

The requirement of the navy is that this amphibious assault ship is this type of displacement of 38,000 tons, which is already a quasi-aircraft carrier, and uses an all-through deck, which is very different from the previous domestic old dock landing ship.

The previous design of the ship design and research institute of the landing ship amphibious landing ship too much emphasis on the firepower of naval guns, did not adopt an all-through deck design, the flight deck can only be used for two medium-sized helicopters can take off and land on the deck at the same time, vertical strike capability is not enough.

The Navy hopes that the amphibious assault ship can carry 30 carrier-based helicopters or vertical take-off and landing fighters for operations, and its deck can allow eight carrier-based helicopters or vertical take-off and landing fighters to take off at the same time to launch an attack on the enemy, and provide powerful air fire support for the landing force.

In addition, the military's amphibious assault requires that the ship can carry an amphibious tank the size of a Marine regiment into combat, which is much higher than the projection capacity of the light aircraft carrier designed and built by the Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company.

The light aircraft carrier designed and built by Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company has a displacement of about 26,000 tons, and can only carry 12 helicopters and/or carrier-based aircraft for combat, and it can only dispatch up to 4 aircraft at one time.

The displacement of the amphibious assault ship required by the military is 38,000 tons, which means that the displacement is more than 10,000 tons.

The size of the displacement will directly lead to the number of combat planes or helicopters on the deck of the amphibious assault ship, which in turn will directly affect the victory or defeat of the entire landing operation.

However, since Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company has designed and built a light aircraft carrier, it is not particularly difficult for the company to design a 38,000-ton amphibious assault ship on this basis.

This matter is not a particularly difficult thing for the ship design and research institute, because after all, they have also developed the dock landing ship of the 20,000 tonnage class before, not to mention that they are also responsible for the transformation and design of the Varyag aircraft carrier.

Therefore, it is not particularly difficult for the two group companies to come up with a design plan.

Yang Jie also hopes that the two companies can also compete in this regard, whether they win or lose, this is also a beneficial thing for both parties.

After the meeting ended, Shen Jianhong also kept Yang Jie.

"Yang Jie, the navy is now in urgent need of a number of carrier-based early warning aircraft, you have the most experience in the development of carrier-based aircraft, the fixed-wing carrier-based early warning aircraft technology verification aircraft developed by Xifei Group Company has proved that the Y-7 small transport aircraft is the carrier aircraft volume, The weight is large, the landing gear is slender and cannot catapult to take off, it can only take off on the land runway, it is not suitable for boarding, and now it is necessary to redesign the new carrier-based early warning aircraft platform, Xifei has insufficient technical experience in this area, I myself hope that you can take over this task together with Xifei Group Company. ”

Shen Jianhong looked at Yang Jie expectantly at this time and said.

Yang Jie also knows that the design of the Y-7 comes from the very old An-24/26 aircraft, and the original design does not consider the needs of the ship, but to thoroughly improve it to meet the requirements of the carrier-based fixed-wing early warning aircraft, its workload is undoubtedly very huge, and the project progress is slower, the development cost is higher, the aircraft performance is likely to be not high, and the overall cost-effectiveness ratio is poor.

In this case, the navy also quickly abandoned this technical verification aircraft, which is mainly used to verify the multi-vertical tail aerodynamic layout of the carrier-based early warning aircraft carrying a large radar, and now this verification aircraft has completed its historical mission and is parked in a corner of the western flight.
