Chapter 241: Rock 600 Engine
There is simply no time wasted.
All parts are complete.
The quality of all the components is excellent. No rework.
In addition, the introduction of hydraulic presses and CNC machine tools has also reduced costs to a certain extent. At the very least, the parts can be manufactured nearby without the cost of transportation.
At present, North Shipbuilding Industry has a total of four super-large hydraulic presses and four super-large five-axis CNC linkage machine tools. It has become the most powerful shipyard in China. Not one of them. By the time other shipyards reacted and ordered hydraulic presses and CNC machine tools, the production capacity was already seriously insufficient.
At present, Wang Bu'an has only one hydraulic press manufacturing center.
Only one hydraulic press can be supplied per week.
He quietly contacted Shockwave, hoping to increase the supply.
As a result, the shockwave replied that one was enough. If there are too many of them, it will easily lead to vector reactions.
What the vector reaction is, Wang Buyan does not know. The shock wave is also not explained.
Anyway, if you want to increase the manufacturing center, no way.
I had to give up.
"I'll show you around?"
"Good. ”
Wang Bu'an knew it was a trap.
The more you see, the more you know. The harder it will be to get out in the future.
Do you know so many secrets and want to keep your distance in the future?
Don't dream......
But I still can't help but take a look......
After all, with so many warships, dumplings together, it is definitely a rare but undesirable perception!
Sure enough, Pang Xihua drove a battery car and sent him to the vicinity of the dock.
Looking at it from afar, there are a lot of battleships......
Liaodong aircraft carrier ......
Domestic aircraft carrier ......
05500000 ton destroyer ......
054A frigate......
There were more than a dozen large docks, all of which were crammed.
All kinds of machinery are running efficiently. There are more than 30 gantry cranes alone. The traffic is incessant.
Large and small parts are transported to the various docks in an orderly manner.
Some are transported by truck.
Some are transported by forklift.
Some are directly lifted by large cranes.
Large and small cranes......
A wide variety of pulley sets......
Deep and shallow blanking chute......
And the sparkling sparkle of electric welding......
There was also the heavy sound of steel ingots snapping......
What is Iron Tree Honeysuckle called?
This is the iron tree honeysuckle?
It's already so bright during the day, let alone at night.
The entire shipyard is now running 24 hours a day, and workers work in three shifts. Otherwise, it is simply impossible to fulfill so many orders.
As he spoke, the gantry crane lifted a huge section of the hull and prepared to dock.
The current shipbuilding process is all segmented. Start by making a paragraph and then merge it together.
After the merger, it is either tenoned, welded, or riveted. Depending on the method, different connection methods are used. There is only one purpose, which is to ensure sturdiness.
"Shall we go up and have a look?"
"Good. ”
Wang Buan nodded.
Take things as they come.
You've all come here, what are you afraid of?
Anyway, the secrets that shouldn't be known are already known. I don't care if I know a little more.
The two went up to a 054A-class frigate that was about to be completed.
The hull is almost complete and is about to be launched and outfitted.
Wang Bu'an walked around and found that hydrogen storage alloys were installed in various cabins.
This is a backup emergency power supply. It is reserved for a later period.
Where are the large quantities of hydrogen storage alloy units consumed? This is one of them.
The biggest advantage of using hydrogen storage alloy units is that the distribution of cables is reduced, and the difficulty of circuit arrangement is reduced, which further reduces the cost.
Moreover, the load on the engine is reduced. This allows the engine to have more power to increase speed.
However, when Wang Buan inspected the power compartment, he found that the engine had not yet been finally installed.
This is very strange. How could the powertrain be missing?
"What about gas turbines?" said Wang Bu'an casually.
"I'm going to have a detailed discussion with you soon. Pang Xihua said.
"What does it have to do with me?"
"It has a lot to do with it. We are ready to use the Rock 500 as a powerhouse. ”
"What?"
Wang Buan felt very surprised.
As a modified warship, the Jianzhou ship has not been determined to use the Rock 500!
None of the converted warships were used,
Newly built warships are actually going to be used?
Is there a mistake?
"The Jianzhou is a smokescreen. Pang Xihua said slowly, "You also know that others are very concerned about the development of our country's warships. They're always trying to spy on us. Pervasive, unscrupulous. In order to keep it secret, we can only use some small means. It's up to you to cooperate. We want to give others the illusion. I thought that we were still using traditional gas turbines. By the time they knew the truth, our warships had already been launched in large numbers. ”
"No problem. How do you need me to cooperate?" Wang Bu'an said briskly.
"Quietly produce Rock 500, tightly seal the information. ”
"No problem. ”
Wang Buan nodded affirmatively.
For a long time, the Panshi series of engines have been produced in Qianzhou Industrial Park.
It is estimated that some people have noticed that it is also Qianzhou Industrial Park.
But now, both Liaocheng Industrial Park and Bincheng Industrial Park are capable of production.
This kind of production is completely done in-house by the robot elves. There is no need for manual labor at all. Therefore, the degree of secrecy is extremely high.
The only trouble is that the production is not high. Each industrial park can produce up to three units per day.
In other words, the two industrial parks can only produce up to six units per day.
Fortunately, for military ships, it is enough.
This is also the reason why it is strongly requested to choose the sites of Liaocheng and Bincheng. It's right on your doorstep.
The produced engines are covered with canvas and transported to the shipyard, which is half an hour. There is no possibility for outsiders to spy on information at all.
"It would be better if it could be further improved. Pang Xihua finally said.
"How do you need to improve it?" asked Wang Bu'an, eager to try.
"You take a look at this information first. ”
"Good. ”
Pang Xihua handed a document to Wang Buan.
The two of them returned to the conference room to study slowly.
The requirements for improvement are not high. It is the rated output power, preferably more than 10,000 horsepower.
The new warship, designated 054H, is a special frigate model with an experimental nature.
It will use two diesel engines, and the total output power is required to be more than 20,000 horsepower. If it could be a little higher, it would be even better.
The design maximum speed is 32 knots. But it would be best if the speed could be increased to 40 knots.
The various parts currently used in warships are designed according to a speed of 40 knots.
"30,000 horsepower per machine. Wang Buan said slowly.
"Are you sure you can?" Pang Xihua didn't look surprised.
He already knew that Wang Buan once drummed up a 100,000-horsepower diesel engine. So, 30,000 horsepower is really nothing.
The reason why the above will approve the construction of 48 ships in one go is that it has seen this power system.
Super cheap.
Super tough.
The running costs in the later stage are also super low.
Generally speaking, the power system will account for about 15% of the cost of the entire ship. If it is imported, the proportion will be even larger.
But the price of the Rock 500 of the Hidden King Power is very cheap. It's just laughable.
What's more, it almost doesn't need fuel costs in the later stage.
There are many benefits to this.
First, make a lot of space. More weapons can be installed. It is even possible to consider equipping it with a vertical launch device.
Second, the range is almost unlimited.
Thirdly, it can maintain the top speed at all times.
"No problem. ”
Wang Buan replied confidently.
A 30,000-horsepower diesel engine is really not a problem.
The increase in output power is actually just the amount of hydrogen released. One cubic meter of water can release more than 600 cubic meters of hydrogen.
The more hydrogen is released, the more intense the combustion and the more powerful it is.
The more hydrogen is released, the larger the combustion chamber will be needed. The total volume will also increase.
Of course, with this, the temperature of the combustion chamber will be higher.
However, no matter how high the temperature is, it is impossible to reach 7200 degrees. So, this temperature is absolutely safe.
"When will it be delivered?"
"Right now. ”
"Good. ”
Pang Xihua was still not surprised at all.
He knew that Wang Buan had such a ability. Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be called a top-secret national treasure among national treasures.
The new engine, named Panshi 600 by Wang Buan, was ready for production immediately.
Thirty robot elves from Ben Cheng Industrial Park worked together and soon produced the first sample.
Check it now.
Test run now.
The results certainly lived up to expectations.
The output power of the Panshi 600 has indeed reached 30,000 horsepower.
The temperature inside the combustion chamber has also reached a new height, reaching more than 5,600 degrees. It is still a safe range.
In the process of inspection, a little episode occurred.
The propulsion spindle that was about to be matched with the Panshi 600 actually broke down.
The reason is simple, that is, the power of the Rock 600 is too strong.
I had no choice but to continue to strengthen the propulsion spindle.
Fortunately, the problem was quickly resolved.
The above is also a decisive order, direct installation. Inspect while installing.
30,000 horsepower for a single machine, and 60,000 horsepower for two units.
Absolutely enough for the 054H frigate with a displacement of less than five thousand tons.
If the operation effect is good, it can also be installed on the top of the 0.55 million ton drive. Except for the aircraft carrier, all other large ships should be fine.
If you don't think it's enough, you can also use a quadruple pack. That's 120,000 horsepower.
However, there is no need for this for the time being.
Instead of quadruple assembly, it is better to find Wang Bu'an directly and continue to improve the power of the single machine.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the strength of the raw materials is sufficient, it is not impossible to make 100,000 horsepower.
The key is that Wang Buan needs 10 million faith points.
It is necessary to upgrade the three-stage high-temperature corrosion-resistant alloy to the fourth. Able to withstand temperatures up to 15,000 degrees.
If it is titanium alloy, hard carbide, nitrile rubber, etc., it can also be upgraded to grade four, then it is the best. 100,000, 200,000, and 300,000 horsepower for a single machine are all appropriate.
Even, as long as it is on Earth, there is no need for nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. As long as it is combustible hydrogen, it is solved.
Super energy sources such as nuclear fusion and nuclear fission should be left to space.
I believe that in the near future, it will be able to be used.
