"What?

Hu Wenhai picked up the water glass on the table by himself, and then drank it in one gulp.

He took a helicopter from Xiucheng to Dagang all the way, and he didn't even rest for a moment on the way. Even if it's just sitting, it's not a light job.

Secretary Chi had to smile bitterly and shake his head when he saw him, personally brought the thermos and added another glass of water to him: "It's the IDF article on weapon knowledge, where did your number come from?"

"Oh, you said this!" Hu Wenhai laughed: "Guess!"

Secretary Chi, who was pouring water, almost didn't splash the water on his hand, looked at Hu Wenhai dumbfounded, and said, "Guess, guess?"

Hu Wenhai nodded and said very sincerely: "Yes, guess." It's calculated based on the number of U.S. companies. The Treasure Island side treats the IDF as a secret, and the Americans don't take it too seriously. After asking Grumman a little bit, combined with the industrial level of Baodao itself, it is not difficult to calculate a little approximation. Why? You don't really believe it, do you?"

Looking at Hu Wenhai's sworn appearance, Secretary Chi moved his mouth, he really didn't know what he should say.

"Hey, that's what poured dirty water on Zhang Zhongmou. Just let him spread rumors for me, don't let me trick him?" Hu Wenhai spread his hands and looked at Secretary Chi innocently: "It's the same as war in the mall, it's about unscrupulous means." Zhang Zhongmou, the dean of the Baodao Industrial Research Institute, secretly came over, which was a very taboo thing in itself. It's not good to have this kind of dead hole, is it really when Hu Wenhai is chanting Buddha and eating fast?"

Hu Wenhai looked lazy, and he really didn't believe that Secretary Chi had any way to verify it. Even if he could personally ask Comrade Jianfeng for verification, would Xiao Jiang honestly tell him, saying, "Oh, how did your mainland know about our top-secret plan for Treasure Island?" He was able to use the killer feature of IDF leakage, which was originally a solid grasp of the domestic powerlessness in information verification.

But Zhang Zhongmou is different, he must know some specific numbers in terms of IDF. Seeing that the mainland's military magazines could check the number of the IDF so clearly, and then put a big hat on his head, where would he dare to really go back to Baodao and test whether Comrade Jianfeng would believe his defense?

Even if it's really not ****, then you can only ask Zhang Zhongmou to bring this hat. If you Zhang Zhongmou don't bring it, I don't know how many people want to fall to the ground. Anyway, you are already on the mainland, and it is better for your family to cry than for the Military Intelligence Agency and the Aviation Development Center to cry all the way.

Of course, if this kind of thing happens, I'm afraid there will still be many people on the treasure island who will be affected. But this is not better, maybe the IDF fighter will enter service, so it will be a little later.

At most, Hu Wenhai did this, which was a bit unauthentic to foreign investors and created some difficulties in attracting Taiwan investment in the future. However, with President Hu's driving force, not to mention setting up some obstacles for Taiwan businessmen, it is really cutting off the channels for Taiwan businessmen to invest, won't the country itself weigh which of the two sides is more powerful?

No matter how you look at it, supporting Hu Wenhai as his own person is a more cost-effective choice.

Speaking of which, looking at Hu Wenhai's eyes again, he really felt a little murderous and domineering. Secretary Chi, who was not very determined, smiled again and again: "What Mr. Hu said, I was also entrusted to ask." Since it's the relevant department that's allergic, let's leave him alone. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about inviting you over today. ”

Secretary Chi sat down opposite Hu Wenhai, cleared his throat and said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Hu, you gave me a promise at the beginning, I don't know if you remember?"

"Promise, what promise?" Hu Wenhai drank the water in the cup again, and then exhaled comfortably. Leaning back on the back of the sofa, he asked relaxedly.

Secretary Chi said tentatively: "It's, well, you once said about the verification ship, don't you remember?"

When Hu Wenhai said this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, remember, of course I remember! What, there's news?"

Secretary Chi nodded: "Yes, it's not just news. Let me tell you, the Navy has to take this matter seriously. Coming up with a verification ship before 1988 would require a lot of resources. ”

"I didn't say it, as long as the navy has this confidence, I will definitely support it to the end!" Hu Wenhai patted his chest and said it categorically.

"As I said at the beginning, as long as the navy is willing to invest, I will definitely pay this money if I say it! I don't know where it has progressed? Now there is only one and a half years left until 1988, and the time is very tight. ”

Secretary Chi didn't say much, turned around and took out a copy of Wen Jiàn from the bookshelf next to the sofa and put it in front of him.

Hu Wenhai curiously picked up the text, opened it and looked at it quickly.

However, it didn't take long for him to sweat. Good guys, there are promises that you really can't just say.

Let's say you're a computer dealer and you want to give a computer to a partner company with the promise of an unlimited budget. And this computer is used by the collaborator to work, what configuration do you guess the other party will give?

It's a bastard if you don't take advantage of it!

The poor and frightened navy rarely has the opportunity to be raised by a big dog like Hu Wenhai. One can imagine what kind of expression the people of the Naval Equipment Demonstration Center will have when they hear the phrase "unlimited budget".

Picking up his brain, although Hu Wenhai has the advantage of being reborn, he may not be able to compare with these professionals.

As a result, when this design essay was really placed in front of him, Hu Wenhai saw it as if it were two heavens. On the one hand, the blood is boiling for the performance of this verification ship, and on the other hand, it is also like falling into an ice cave because of its cost.

"The standard row is seven thousand, and the full row is eight thousand two!" Hu Wenhai's eyes widened and he looked at Secretary Chi: "Is the Navy still building a 052 destroyer? This is the Ticontroga missile cruiser!"

The Ticontroga-class missile cruiser commissioned by the Americans in 1983 was only 9,700 tons at full capacity. A full row of 8,200 tons, except for the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France, can be properly used as the flagship of the fleet.

If you want to talk about destroyers, then they are not built so big.

Secretary Chi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that Mr. Hu, the time you gave is too tight, and it will take at least ten years for the development of a normal warship." But this verification ship, if you want to see it launched in 1988, you have to ignore a lot of requirements for warships. Normal warship designs are very compact, cramming as much equipment as possible into the smallest possible space. In this way, it is more difficult to test the water grinding work. However, since we are a verification ship, many operational requirements can be relaxed, at least there is no need to worry about the tonnage being too large and the target is too obvious. ”

Hu Wenhai touched his chin, and he was okay with Secretary Chi's statement. Think about it, the opponent of this verification ship is mainly the 88-year-old Annam Monkey Navy, which can be sunk by the Navy's 1140-ton 502 frigate, and the 8,200-ton verification ship is still no problem.

Seeing Hu Wenhai thoughtfully, Secretary Chi made persistent efforts and said: "If you want to verify the technical ability, the larger space is also convenient to arrange some information collection equipment, which can have a deeper grasp of the operation status of the equipment." Moreover, in addition to the naval officers and sailors, the verification ship also needs to arrange some researchers on board, and the demand for space should also be as advanced as possible. ”

"Okay!"

Hu Wenhai nodded dryly: "Then 8,200 tons, isn't it just a hull, even if you build 10,000 tons, it's so much." ”

Hu Wenhai, who has figured it out, is not so entangled. It's not that the tonnage has gone up, and the cost of the battleship will also increase significantly. If a real battleship is too big, the target will be too obvious, so it is necessary to cram as much equipment as possible into the smallest possible hull, so that the interference between various equipment will be strict, and the final design requirements will be high.

It's like a computer motherboard, sometimes the components are the same, but the stability is different. It is because the motherboard is placed in the chassis and various electronic devices are gathered together, and the electromagnetic compatibility problem is prominent. A good motherboard can put these electronic devices together and be safe, and a motherboard that is not distracted will have all kinds of inexplicable faults.

Of course, if the motherboard is not done well, but the problem can still be solved if it is done big enough. Make a motherboard the size of a table, and nothing will be a problem with electromagnetic compatibility.

As far as warships are concerned, the complexity of the electromagnetic environment is several orders of magnitude higher than that of a computer motherboard, and it is not a heavyweight player at all. But the principles are all the same, since there is no time to slowly ponder the design details, then it is okay to build a warship large enough.

The battleship is bigger, at least there is enough space to install electromagnetic barriers. As soon as the radar is turned on, the other electronic equipment will spark first.

Anyway, since the time is tight, the task is heavy, and the budget is not limited, then it is good to make a miracle!

There is no need for special steel for regular warships, and the steel is directly on board, and the verification ship does not need a long combat life anyway. In order to stuff the equipment of land joint commissioning into the general hull, the larger the hull, the better. A normal warship needs a hull to adapt to the equipment, and the verification ship will in turn adapt the equipment to the hull. The 052-class destroyers in the original design were stared at the localization rate to death. Since it is a verification ship, many systems can be directly imported from abroad, and it is really a domestic specialty to engage in system integration.

In short, the Navy's thinking is actually the same as the Army's 7 billion project that Hu Wenhai engaged in the year before last.

At the beginning, Hu Wenhai was able to make a cruising drone into a cloud burst bomb, he could make a barely usable C3I system, and he could even use it to beat monkeys. It's not how mature the system is, it's just that there are no countermeasures at all for bullying the monkeys. But with such a proven and feasible idea, it is enough to follow this idea to elevate the system to a real military standard.

In fact, the Navy is fighting with the same idea, and after this verification ship comes out, the main function is to verify whether these equipment are put together, and whether this idea can meet the war needs of regional air defense. If it is indeed possible, then it is safe to invest boldly to promote localization, and spend another 10 years to come up with domestically produced warships that truly meet the needs of the war.

And before that, with the big killer of integrated all-electric propulsion, it is not impossible for the Navy to fool any wronged person to come to a seven-billion project.

In order to get a verification ship in two years, the navy is also fighting.

Secretary Chi couldn't help but laugh excitedly when he heard Hu Wenhai happily agree: "With a displacement of 8,200 tons, although it is a verification ship, the power system cannot be sloppy. In terms of design, we plan to install four **1A gas turbines and four MTU1163 diesel engines to engage in diesel-fuel hybrid. We understand that there is already a localization plan, and it is just right to take a ride. ”

Hu Wenhai flipped the text to the part of the power system, looked at it twice, and frowned: "I'm afraid this is difficult, although the **1a in the plan will almost be able to produce localization results next year, but I'm afraid it will be too late to go on board the ship and land joint commissioning." As for the 1163 diesel engine, although the Ministry of Railways has introduced production technology, it is still in the stage of digestion and absorption in one or two years. In my opinion, the verification ship should not be forced to localize the power, and first purchase a set for the land joint commissioning system. If the localization catches up with the loading next year, the domestic equipment will be used, and if it can't catch up, the equipment for land joint commissioning will be shipped. ”

"In this way, the equipment we need to introduce is the French Sea Sidewinder point defense missile, the Tavitac combat system and the TSR3002 Sea Tiger radar. The British Lynx helicopter has a take-off weight of four and a half tons, which is more suitable than the Dolphin as a carrier-based aircraft for the verification ship. It is also necessary to seize the time to introduce Phoenix missile technology from the United States and develop a vertically launched Sea Phoenix on this basis. Hughes's AN/AWG9 pulse-Doppler radar also needs to be verified for suitability, and the short-range defense system can first use the Dutch Goalkeeper close-in gun, which is probably similar to the 730 gun we are developing. Others can probably use domestic equipment, and the C-802 on anti-ship missiles can be completely trusted. ”

Hu Wenhai said that he had made a calculation, and quickly came up with an approximate psychological price.

"I think the budget for the introduction of equipment and technology will be at least $100 million. And the cost of the R&D and construction of the entire verification ship, I think it should be about the same if you simply come up with 100 million yuan. ”

Secretary Chi mentally compared Hu Wenhai's budget with the budget given by the Naval Equipment Demonstration Center, and found that the budget given by Hu Wenhai was at least 1.5 times that of the original plan, and it can be said that there was a fairly high margin, and he immediately laughed happily.

"Okay, that's the price. Thinking of Hu Wenhai being so generous, Secretary Chi snorted and said with a smile: "If you want me to say, don't care if the domestic **1A gas turbine and 1163 diesel engine can catch up, the navy can give a letter first, when these equipment are localized, we all need a set of eight diesel-fired hybrid systems." But speaking of which, I heard that Mr. Hu has helped the Ministry of Railways to build a set of 1163 electric drive system, can you transplant this system to our verification ship?"

Hu Wenhai slapped his thigh, nodded violently and said, "Secretary Chi just didn't mention it, and I was about to talk about it." Verify the ship's integrated all-electric system, you don't have to look for someone else, Xinke can take it down. In this way, not only the integrated all-electric system, but also the core technology of the verification ship is the system integration capability, and the automated command, control and auxiliary systems that the 052 ship originally planned to use, that is, the combat system of the battleship, although the French tavitac is good, I really don't like it. If Secretary Chi can be trusted, how about outsourcing the battleship's information system to Xinke as well?"

"What does Mr. Hu mean that the Tavitac combat system will not be introduced?" Secretary Chi hesitated, not knowing whether he should agree.

The integrated combat system is the core technology of the 052 originally planned to be launched, and before the Type 052 destroyer, the combat system of the ** ship was a single machine and a single control. That is to say, naval artillery has its own control system for naval guns, anti-ship missiles have its own system, radar systems and these combat weapons do not share a number, and even sonar and anti-submarine warfare also have their own systems. And these numbers and control equipment are concentrated in the bridge, and then operated by people to control the equipment. The biggest problem with the whole system is that it is not an organic whole, and it almost "perfectly" slows down the speed of the computer to the speed of communication between people.

To put it simply, it is necessary to form these subsystems into a shipboard local area network. Of course, this does not mean that it is enough to install a router on the ship's computer, but to "reconstruct" the information exchange and control methods of the entire warship. On the basis of the combat system, a large number of automated control, information collection, sensors, and communication systems need to be added.

The difference is as if before the advent of smartphones, people need to buy digital products such as MP3s, mobile phones, digital cameras, POS machines, e-book readers, handheld game consoles, radios......

After smartphones, all you need is a smartphone. But can it be said that smartphones only concentrate the functions of these electronic devices? No, smartphones not only replace them, but also reconstruct the way of life of the entire human society.

Before the advent of smartphones, the biggest problem was that no one knew exactly what smartphones could do.

But just as Hu Wenhai knows how smartphones can change people's lives, he at least knows how some of the future warship combat intelligence centers will work. It's not like in history, 052 made a three-person platform, and it felt that it was very high-tech.

Since the Navy also has the idea of building foreign trade ships in the future, the CIC Operational Intelligence Center certainly needs to be a little taller in order to sell the warships at a good price!

Hu Wenhai nodded and shook his head: "The Tavitac combat system still needs to be introduced, we don't want its hardware and software, but its number is very precious." Take the number jù and develop the system ourselves. ”

The combat system can be said to be the soul of modern warships, and no one wants to install the combat system of another country in the body of their own warship unless it is a last resort. However, the combat system is still a test of a country's naval heritage. The algorithms of various software are the foundation of the battleship's artificial intelligence expert system, and why this expert system can make judgments on behalf of real experts is because it stores a large number of data in its host.

These tasks of the Chinese Navy were carried out by the officers and men of the Navy in the bridge of Tongguò. While we were still making maps by hand, the American warships were already able to monitor the routes of 300 sea targets in real time.

The key to these AI expert systems is the number of jù accumulated over the course of their working days.

Secretary Chi is of course happy to be able to use the French system, and the system developed by Xinke has at least one of the strongest advantages, that is, it uses the Chinese system. If the French system was used directly, the French officers and men on the battleship would have to learn another French language.

Don't underestimate this advantage, time on the battlefield is racing against time, how can there be so much time for people to translate French into Chinese in their heads, not to mention that French is a digital expression.

Secretary Chi laughed: "Of course this is no problem, in terms of electronic technology, I think there are really few people who dare to say that the level is higher than that of Mr. Hu." ”

"Then it's settled. Hu Wenhai was eager to try, and he seemed impatient.

"I went to find the people from the Ministry of Railways who were engaged in IGCT control last time, and asked Secretary Chi to gather experts and researchers from the Naval Equipment Research Institute in Dagang. Time is running out, and I plan to develop and equip the existing base of the Dagang Shipyard at the same time. I'll go back to Rolls-Royce, test four **1A first-in-class, and give him the integrated electric propulsion of the whole ship within this year. The introduction of the Tavitac combat system also asks the Navy to pay close attention, and I will bring people from the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences over after the number is in hand. ”

"It is best for the navy to send a group of experienced officers and soldiers over, and it is best to listen to the opinions of front-line users in equipment research and development, which is very important!"

Secretary Chi wrote down Hu Wenhai's requirements, and suddenly felt a sense of urgency from him, and nodded vigorously: "Mr. Hu, don't worry, we can meet these requirements." Is there anything else to do?"

Hu Wenhai thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I won't say more, as long as the navy can guarantee that it will be completed before 1988, I will find a few big customers for the navy -- at least it won't be poorer than Iraq!"

Secretary Chi's eyes widened when he heard this, how could it be said that the Navy did not covet the Army's seven-billion project. Hearing Hu Wenhai's reassurance, Secretary Chi was almost out of sight when he smiled.

"Okay, with Mr. Hu's words, the Navy will support the verification ship to be completed before 88 even if it is pants!"

"Then I'll wait for Secretary Chi's news. Hu Wenhai nodded, as if he remembered something again, and suddenly said, "Oh, that's right." Please remember to send the Zhang Shaozhong Research Institute of the Naval Equipment Demonstration Center, I think he is a very potential talent! It just so happens that I am planning to set up a future military theory research bureau in Dagang, can you help me ask him if he would like to come over to the director?"

"Zhang Shaozhong?" Secretary Chi nodded happily: "No problem, he will definitely agree!"

Hu Wenhai couldn't help but cry and laugh when he saw Secretary Chi simply making the decision for the bureau like this.
