Chapter 185: Let 59 tanks go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
"Director Chen, do you have any data on the power compartment of the Jianzhou ship?"
"What do you want this for?"
"Supporting production. โ
"How?"
"What is the size of the original powertrain, and what is the size of the new diesel engine. โ
"Is that okay?"
"Yes. โ
Wang Buan likes this package.
According to the original body type production, there is no need to dismantle and renovate, and the original line can basically be used.
With his current scientific and technological capabilities, he can completely do one ship. It's seamless.
Of course, this is only limited to the modification of ships.
If it's a newly-built ship, it's a standard size.
It's just that the current Tyrannosaurus rex industry does not have such a strong influence for the time being.
Until it is fully verified, it is impossible for the newly started ships to use the power system produced by him. After all, that's the vital heart.
Moreover, he has not cultivated a strong enough maintenance team.
"It's a pity ......"
Chen Xiangmin said regretfully.
Wang Bu'an is right, it is a waste to produce it now.
He is not available to provide relevant data at this time.
This data is confidential.
He can't leak it to Wang Bu'an without approval.
Moreover, this data is very large. It is impossible to remember by relying solely on the human brain. Only the design data is complete.
"Or, can you give me some design information?" Chen Xiangmin said thoughtfully.
"Okay. Wang Buan nodded.
The No. 1 robot elf began to prepare the corresponding materials.
In this way, there is not only one model of Qinhuang 500. Several super models.
Among them, the Qin Emperor 500 (Qin Shi Huang) has the weakest momentum. The rated output is 50,000 K.
Qin Huang 1000 (Qin II) has a stronger momentum. The rated output is 100,000 K.
Qin Huang 2000 (Qin III) was more dynamic. The rated output is 200,000 K.
The strongest was Emperor Qin 6000 (Qin IV). The rated output is 600,000 K.
Theoretically, as long as there is enough volume and weight. There is almost no upper limit to the power.
At least, in the 50 million K range, there are no major problems.
In front of hydrogen fuel, what Siemens, what General Electric, what Wรคrtsilรค, all are slag.
"Comrade Xiao Wang, are you sure that it can be produced?" Chen Xiangmin expressed doubt.
The main reason is that all kinds of data look very outrageous.
It is often 100,000 or hundreds of thousands, which inevitably makes people suspicious. Feel like the pompous style of the year is back?
"You saw it last time. Wang Buyan replied indifferently.
"It's fine. Chen Xiangmin said with a deep groan.
Indeed, he had already seen a 100,000-horsepower diesel engine last time.
Although it only ran for a few minutes before it stopped. It didn't run again. However, it at least proves that Wang Buan is capable of producing very high-power diesel engines.
Since 100,000 horsepower is no problem, then 50,000K should be no problem.
The key is stability and reliability.
As long as these two problems are solved, all other problems will be solved.
Mr. Chan hopes that all of this will become a reality.
No ship will refuse high horsepower.
The point is, it has a very low fuel cost.
Basically, that's about 50 liters per hour.
For very large ships, such fuel consumption is completely negligible.
Compared with nuclear power, the output power of the Panshi series diesel engine is indeed inferior. However, it is much cheaper to purchase than a nuclear reactor. Maintenance and upkeep are much easier, too.
The repair and maintenance of nuclear reactors is very technical. Ordinary people can't do it at all.
If you are not careful, you may cause a nuclear accident.
The Kursk submarine of that year made the whole world fearful.
Even today, there is no guarantee that a nuclear leak will not occur. The Fukushima nuclear power plant leak in Toei is a great lesson.
There are better safer alternatives to power, so why not use it?
Suddenly remembering something, Chen Xiangmin wanted to speak and stopped.
"Director Chen, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. Wang Buan said, "We are also old friends." โ
"It's all old stuff. Chen Xiangmin said slowly.
What he remembered was mainly the problem of raw materials.
In the shipbuilding industry, there are a lot of raw materials needed. Some of the raw materials are also very high-end.
The quantity requirements are very large, and the quality requirements are very high.
Often, at some point, it can become a bottleneck if you are not careful.
The problem of steel plates is actually easy to solve.
Now, what is most needed are all kinds of aluminum alloys, copper alloys, kelaf materials.
The hull shell and structural frame are basically welded with high-strength steel plates. There is no doubt about it.
However, in order to reduce weight, the superstructure of modern warships usually uses lightweight materials such as aluminum alloy. The most famous and "tragic" example is the British Type 42 Sheffield-class destroyer. Not only is the superstructure of the ship made of aluminum alloy, but also some of the walls and frames inside the hull are made of aluminum alloy. This greatly reduced the weight of the hull, but because the fire performance of aluminum alloy was not as good as that of steel, the superstructure of the "Sheffield" was directly ignited after it was hit by a missile in the Falklands War.
Although aluminum alloy materials are not good in fire resistance, they are "still usable" because of their light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, easy processing and non-magnetic properties. For example, the main material of the aircraft elevator on the American aircraft carrier is aluminum alloy, which is nearly 10 tons lighter than the all-steel material used. In addition, such as masts, equipment racks, weapon racks, cabin partitions, planks, fences, and ventilation ducts are also made of aluminum alloy materials.
In addition, because seawater and salt spray are very corrosive, many components on warships will use alloy copper. For example, propellers, steam pipes, water supply pipes, fire pipes, heat exchangers, condensers, power distribution systems, valves and emergency pipeline intercom systems are made of high-moto aluminium bronze, nickel aluminium bronze, aluminium brass or cupronickel alloys. There are also many parts that are not made of copper alloys and are coated with copper to improve corrosion resistance.
Kevlar, the material used to make bulletproof vests and helmets, is also increasingly being used on warships. For example, the flight deck of an aircraft carrier contains a protective layer made of Kevlar material, and important parts such as the command center and ammunition depot are also wrapped in a composite armor layer composed of thick Kevlar material and armor plates.
These materials are either not available or are not high-end enough.
For example, the flight deck used by aircraft carriers is HSLA-115 in the United States. We are still 100 labels.
However, the problem of steel does not need to bother Wang Buan.
China is a big producer of super steel, and steel for aircraft carriers can still be guaranteed.
The most scarce copper alloy.
Not only high quality is required, but also large quantities are required.
It would be nice if we could provide tens of thousands of tons, hundreds of thousands of tons. Millions, tens of millions of tons are better.
Wang Buan could only smile bitterly.
He didn't have that much copper alloy.
Before, CH19999 model bronze was still targeted.
In fact, the CH19999 model of bronze was completely researched and invented by Wang Bu'an himself. He modified some basic parameters.
This alloy is most suitable for shipbuilding.
Especially for the manufacture of propellers and the like.
However, it is true that its production is not high. Up to about 150 tons per day.
Obviously, this is far from sufficient.
A large propeller costs 150 tons of copper alloy. What about other uses?
Unless, is to create more industrial parks.
In game terms, now he already has three bases, and he is ready to open a fourth.
Where is the fourth sub-base opened?
I guess it's going to be in the north.
In order to match the heavy industry in the north.
This matter needs to be coordinated with Cheng Kailong. He knows best what raw materials are needed in which places.
Two days later, Wang Buan and Han Xuewei met.
At the same time, there were two middle men in civilian clothes, as well as an old expert.
Two middle-aged men, one is called Cui Yongan and the other is Wu Maoguan. The old expert's name is Cai Yunheng.
They are all from the 846 Institute.
The main task of this research institute is to strengthen the power system of tank armored vehicles.
They all came for the 59 tank thing.
On the Internet, there is a term called Magic 59. That is, various modifications of the 59 tank.
Due to the age of the 59 tank, the performance was relatively backward. However, the stock is large, and I feel that it can still exert residual heat. It would be a pity if they all retired all at once. As a result, a variety of renovation plans were released. Among them, there are some very creative modifications. So it was called the magic change.
In the beginning, the power of the Type 59 tank was only 500 horsepower. Later, it was gradually increased, and eventually some models reached 720 horsepower. If there is no drastic use, it can basically be used. There is nothing wrong with using it on the southwestern border.
It can be considered that this time the Type 59 tank transformation is to accumulate experience and verify the stability and reliability of the Panshi 150. If it passes, it will most likely be installed on other higher-level tanks.
"Forget it about experimenting in the hills. It's better to pull it directly to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Wang Buan said with a big brain.
"Let 59 go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?" Wu Maoguan said in surprise.
"Can't you?"
"Absolutely. โ
"Then let's try it. It is a mule and a horse, pulled to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for a walk. โ
"Be creative. โ
Cai Yunheng, an old expert who spoke.
Don't think that the old experts are unsmiling and bitter.
This Professor Cai Yunheng is very active. Obviously he is fifty or sixty years old, and he is still as strong as a young man. His face is full of red light, and his hands and feet are agile.
Before the meeting, Han Xuewei quietly told Wang Bu'an that Professor Cai had been a very active person since he was a child, and there was nothing he didn't dare to do when he went up to the trees to dig birds, go down to the sea to catch turtles, burn wasps, and catch poisonous snakes. Therefore, there are all kinds of magic changes 59 now, most of which are inseparable from his active thinking.
Wang Bu'an proposed to go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in fact, he said it casually, but he didn't expect the other party to really agree. Sure enough, it was Professor Cai, who was very receptive.
However, the next thing was not so pleasant. Cai Yunheng's expertise is unquestionable.
Since you, Wang Buan, proposed to go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, well, you can prepare a package plan.
Today's fourth update. Ask for a few votes at the end. Thank you. Is there a referral ticket?
