First, generally speaking, the military industry is accustomed to using the five phrases of diesel fuel alternately, diesel fuel combination, combustion and combustion alternately, combustion and combustion combination, and firewood and diesel fuel combination as the introduction to the core of modern naval power.

These five short sets of power-driven nouns represent the identification words that after World War II, the power plants of the main ships of the world's navies entered internal combustion.

The modern naval power built by various countries after World War II will basically be out of these five ways.

If Liang Yuan had not leveraged history, the Navy of the Republic of China, which had been pitted by the United States, would have broken a world record, setting a record for the first use of steam turbines on a newly built naval capital ship after World War II.

Of course, if you look at it from a self-deprecating perspective, the Republic can be regarded as a lesson that was missed in the era of cannon giants to some extent, after all, the battleships that could be called Niu X back then were all driven by steam turbines.

100 billion turrets, 100 billion lights, multi-riveting steaming steel, infinite brilliance.

Judging from the original history of the development of the Republic Navy, the Multi-Turret Divine Cult is the eternal and invincible truth of this cosmic plane, and as the most populous country on this planet, it can't escape the lessons, even if you don't build a turret, you have to build a steam-powered holy relic to make up for it.

At present, there is still some time before the start of the second new drive of the Republic, and the Republic Navy is cooperating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to try to continue the procurement contract of General Electric.

In view of this, the voice of domestic procurement within the Navy of the Republic is getting louder and louder, and someone in the Naval Equipment Department is pushing to place a power core order for the second big drive to Brilliance Power, one is to make two preparations, and the other is to put pressure on the Americans, don't think that without Zhang Butcher, you have to eat pigs with hair.

However, at the moment, Liang Yuan's attention is on the surface flat-topped boat and the underwater transport boat, and he has no energy to pay attention to anything else for the time being, Li Yuanling is even plunged into a modified fan that is said to be about to be put into practical use, and the gas turbine is usually limited to the field of electricity and railways, and the Republic Navy is still in a hot state of shaving its head for the time being.

If the environment of the ship is changed to land, and the power of the power plant is reduced, the combination of five sets of power applied to the navy can still be established.

For example, the combination of gas turbine and steam turbine to establish a combined fuel-steam cycle high-clean power plant, in terms of operation theory and some equipment, is not fundamentally different from the Navy's five groups of power combinations.

However, in view of the low power required by most land units, the requirements for use can be met without the use of joint means, so except for a few special uses, there are few examples of combined drive for land equipment.

Therefore, the republic's next-generation main battle tank, whether it adopts diesel-fuel combined drive or diesel-fuel alternate drive, can be regarded as a maverick in a sense.

As the name suggests, diesel-fuel alternate drive is responsible for the output of power refers to the diesel engine and gas turbine work separately, if you take the tank as an example, when training in peacetime or performing non-marching combat missions in wartime, the tank only turns on the fuel-efficient diesel engine, and only starts the high-horsepower gas turbine when performing special tasks such as pursuit, assault, retreat, etc., so as to obtain higher performance than the same horsepower diesel engine.

However, the drive mode of alternating diesel fuel is destined to lead to idle part of the power, which is a huge waste of space in the limited tank body space, so the diesel-fuel combined drive with higher space and energy efficiency is a better choice.

In addition to all the advantages of diesel-fuel alternate drive, the two power units can operate together in an emergency, so that the tank can obtain better performance than diesel-fuel alternate drive.

The problem is that when diesel-fuel combined drive is used, there is a serious inconsistency between the high speed of the gas turbine of tens of thousands of revolutions per minute and the low speed of the diesel engine of two or three thousand revolutions per minute.

When coordinating the two to work together to drive, in addition to the reducer for the gas turbine is indispensable, both must have a certain range of electronic speed regulation function, and only under the coordination of the computer can the two be output with the same number of revolutions.

Now the problem is that the gem engine has a digital control system, and electronic speed regulation is naturally a piece of cake, but the B2 series water-cooled diesel host equipped with the Republic 59 tank was designed during the Soviet-German War in World War II.

If you forcibly modify the Republic B2 series water-cooled diesel engine, it is not as convenient as redesigning a completely new tank water-cooled diesel engine.

As for the other precision gear reducer manufacturing, dual-power parallel device, new tank automatic transmission, new tank air conditioning compressor, etc., it is a minor problem compared to redesigning a water-cooled diesel engine with electronic speed control.

Even in the new century, the design of the republic's diesel engine still relies on overseas power giants such as Bosch and Cummins, while the 12-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine with electronic speed control function in the nineties is the world's top power equipment, and there is huge room for development in both military and civilian industries.

Of course, the difficulty of development is also among the best in the world.

Where to find this world's top large-scale diesel engine design team has become a difficult problem in front of Zhu Yusheng.

Brilliance Power's R&D strength is not to mention the top in China and Asia, but it is a turbine platform, and Li Yuanling is also ignorant in the face of the development of internal combustion engines for reciprocating sports.

As can be seen from the various abridged documents, the whole project went very smoothly if viewed from the perspective of the tank on the gas turbine alone.

In one year, Zhu Yusheng and Brilliance Power have solved hundreds of problems such as body resonance, high-temperature exhaust emissions, inlet dust removal, low-temperature start-up, high-temperature operation in desert areas, displacement of the inlet tract of the jewel engine, and wear of the intake fan.

The gem power pack from the Long March 3 has long been modified beyond recognition by Li Yuanling, the gem power pack of the Long March 3 belongs to a slightly oval erection rectangle, and the gem power pack on the tank becomes very compact and looks like a standard cube has been flattened if the quick-detachable air intake and dust protection device is removed.

Since the entire material is arranged in chronological order of problem solving, Liang Yuan turned to the end and found that there were several uncoordinated research directions in this disaster-ridden Republic's next-generation main battle tank research and development project.

First, abandon the gas turbine with huge fuel consumption and return to the high-horsepower diesel engine, which cannot be developed in China and can be imported from the Federal Republic of Germany or the Soviet Union.

Second, completely abandon the diesel engine and use a separate gas turbine as the power core, in addition to conforming to the trend of gasification of the international armored assault force, it is a matter of five years for the Brilliance Power's technical strength to break through the 1000K top sky, and the power of 1,000 kilowatts is not far from reaching the international standard of 1500 horsepower of the new generation of main battle tanks.

Third, we must not give up the direction of diesel-fuel integration, the all-electric armored vehicles are the general trend, and they may be realized in half a century, and the gas turbine is destined to be the only power core of the armored vehicle in the foreseeable future, no matter how excellent the diesel engine, it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated.

Of course, at present, limited to the immaturity of all-electric technology, diesel-fuel combination is the best choice at the moment, with electronic speed regulation of advanced diesel engines can be imported from the Federal Republic of Germany patent combined with independent development, the total cost of small power is less than the power of large.

Fourth, at this stage, the technology of alternating diesel fuel is practical, which meets the strategy of our army to adopt the method of small steps and fast running to update technology, be careful of the psychology of eating a fat man in one bite, and ensure that the new equipment is in line with the nodes and enter service on time in a down-to-earth manner, which is the focus of the moment.

These four directions, no matter which one of them, have good reasons and the support of actual data, even if Liang Yuan stretches the time to ten years, except for the fourth direction, which can be crossed out, the other three directions still seem to be well-reasoned.

Even if you only look at the title and abridgement, the half-height information is enough to spend the rest of Liang Yuan's afternoon.

Putting down the last document in his hand, Liang Yuan found that the sky outside had been darkened, put the document back in its place, turned off the lamp on the desktop casually, and Liang Yuan shook his neck and shoulders, which were a little stiff due to reading for a long time, and walked out of the reference room.

It is likely that Li Yuanling led a large army to the other side of the river to test the new fan, and no one went to the small data room to disturb Liang Yuan for half an afternoon, and the gas turbine workshop at this time was much quieter than before.

The bright yellow light sprinkled evenly from the ceiling of the workshop on the light green non-slip floor, and looking beyond the half-person-high frosted glass partition, Liang Yuan found that there were only seven or eight figures in white coats as far as the eye could see in the huge workshop.

Raising his hand and glancing at his watch, it was already the opening time of dinner in the canteen of the Science and Technology Park, Liang Yuan wondered in his heart what kind of new fan his wife was researching, and actually used almost all the manpower, while finding a phone from an office partition to ask two girls out for dinner.

After the phone was connected, the two girls first complained a little about where someone went in the afternoon, and no one saw anyone after just three or four phone calls.

Liang Yuan confessed to the desolate situation of the gas turbine workshop with the two girls very neatly, and complained that he had read the documents about the 1,000 projects in the afternoon, but not only did not solve the problem, but was distorted by the documents, and could not choose how to tidy up, the two girls and Liang Yuan discussed a few words on the phone and could not get the point, and the three decided not to want these messy things to go to the canteen of the science and technology park to eat together.

Located on the south bank of the Hunhe River, the new gas turbine workshop was officially put into use two months after the Lunar New Year, and the biggest difference between the new gas turbine workshop and the old workshop on the north bank is that the new workshop has a beautiful transparent roof.

When the multi-layer sunshade inside the new workshop is put away, the sunlight during the day can shine directly through the ceiling of the workshop, with the dense variety of plants in the workshop, which is a bit like a large indoor botanical garden.

In the continuous shrill humming sound, Li Yuanling stood under a group of plant partitions made of stars and morning glories in the new workshop, staring closely at the fiery jet from the tail throat of an aero engine more than 20 meters in front of her.
